Thos. Keating was feeling pretty
good Monday over the result of an
arbitration. About 160 head of cattle,
more or less, got onto 10 acres of his
corn lately in a storm and Thomas wa3

M. T. Kinney, of St. Joe, was in

Union meetings have been held
Sunday evenings in the Presbyterian,

es of this city for the past three weeks,
Revs. Wilson, Gray and Holt officiat

attended, and the sermons interesting
and instructive. Next Sunday even
ing the meeting will be heid at the
Presbyterian church.
The storm Saturday morning was
very threatening for a few minutes,
and it was the only time we have ever
had to light a lamp to see to write at
10 o'clock in the morning. The
clouds came from the northwest,were
surcharged with electricity, but after
a few minutes of excitement and a
littie rattling of hail, passed over, and
tne sun was shining again on a se
rene Nebraska landscape.
T. H. Saunders returned from
New York Wednesday last. He
praises Nebraska crops, and says that
the poorest com he has yet seen in
this state is better than the best he
saw anywhere along the road in
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois
or Iowa. In the dealings of Nature
this year, so far as the weather is
concerned and the crops, Nebraskana
have no reason to complain much.
Our correspondent at Rising
writes us that the storm of the 13th.
destroyed all small grain, garden
truck, ic, 5:c., and corn is so badly
cut and broke that under favorable
circumstances it cannot make over
one-third of a full crop ; potatoes will
probably ripen, as tney have some
vine left. Trees not injured, oniy
leaves cut off some. Storm not very
wide north and south, but wide
enough to double dose some of us old
settlers. Oh well! well probably
remember 1SS2 and 1SS3."
A cow boy stopped at Hatch
Smith's place Saturday night who re
lated a singular story of navigating
down the Platte on a raft with his
pony, from some point in Wyoming,
until he wrecked his craft on the Co
lumbus railroad bridge, and when
opposite the old McAllister farm the
raft came apart, letting both him and
the pony into the water, whereby the
pony was drowned and he had a
struggle to make the shore. It was
his intention to have proceeded to
Plattsmouth in the above described
manner. Sun.
Sol. Rickncr came over from the
south side Saturday. He came in his
little skiff, bringing three passengers
with him. He tells us that the ap
proach to the bridge on the south
side is a good deal out of shape ; one
span has settled down about three
feet ; about the center of the new part
there are two places sunk a little ; the
approach on this side is all gone, and
the water is running there about
knee-deep : the main channel is on the
north side; Mr. R. thinks that in a
week's time work can be begun in
repairing, and we think he has a good
scheme in his head for controlling
the current.
A commissioner of Merrick Co.
resigned because some citizens went
forward and mended the approaches
to the Platte bridge, without waiting
to take the time to call a spsciai meet
ing of the board. The citizens secured
subscriptions to reimburse themselves
in case the commissioners at a future
meeting should refuse to foot the bills.
1 1 seems, from the discussion, that our
supreme court has decided that "any
citizen has the right to protect the
property of the cocnty and to receive
pay for the work" when it is evident
that immediate work will save the
coanty a great expenditure," o Mys
tie Courier.

Thunder storms on the 1st, 15th,

Light hail fell on larh,22d,23d,24th.
Lunar corona on the 19th.
Meteor very large and brilliant on
the 20th.
The storm of the 22d was noted for
the vast amount of electricity in the
atmosphere, the naahes of sheet light
ning were so vivid and incessant as to
give it the appearance of being1 on
fire ; while that of the 23d was no
ticeable in the frequent lulls of the
wind almost to a calm, increasing its
force with each renewal, but as far as
known no .serious damage has result
ed from these storms in this vicinity.
And those of your readers who have
followed me carefully jhroagh the
several years of reported observations
need not be reminded that I have
several times called their attention to
the fact of the freedom of this portion
of the Loup valley from the violence
of storms, not that we do not have
them at all, but the centers of de
structive force hae generally passed
around us, doubtless owing to some
peculiar conformation of the country,
and while at such times sympathizing
with our neighbors in the losses in
flicted upon them, we can not 'but
feel thankful that "our lots have Been
cast in pleasant places."
City C'uciL.
At the meeting of the City Council
Saturday evening, a large number of
bills were allowed, amounting to
about I1S00. This is the first time
since Oct. last that bilis haye been
allowed.
It seems ;nat according to law only
50 per cent, of a levy can be drawn
upon,. until after collection has been
made ; in accordance with this theory
there is now accessible to the order
of the Council about 13400 of the
levies of 'SO, SI and S2, which will go
a good ways toward liquidating the
city's indebtedness. Councilman
Rickly, we understand, has all along
been urging the Council to avail
themselves of these funds which have
been lying idle in the treasury while
creditors have been clamorous for
their just dues, but without effect
until now, when Councilman North
tcok the matter in hand.
The appropriation ordinance was
passed allowing 13900 for expenses
for the next fiscal year.
Rochen r Routson were allowed
130 a month for sprinkling the streets.
An ordinance was introduced va
cating Ilth street through the ceme
terv. Sterieati JLccideax.
July 4th, while Mr. Joseph J. Tru
man with his wire and his mother-in-law
were passing along the road near
his father's residence, just as the
wagon was passing through a small
ravine, the rear seat not having been
sufiiciently rastened, overturned and
the ladies were thrown out backward
striking upon their heads and shoul
ders in the middle of the road. Mrs.
Truman sustained severe but not se
rious injuries, but her mother striking
upon the back of her head and neck,
so injured her spinal column as to
completely paralyze her entire body.
Her condition is slightly improved at
this writing, but it is reported that
she can never fully recover, but at
best will be a confirmed invalid the
remainder of her life. Mrs. Truman
had been sick for some time past and
her mother came from Pennsylvania
to take care of her, intending to re
turn home about July 16lh, inst.
Genoa Entervrue.
The storm of Friday last was one
of the severest that this section has
experienced for a long time. We
hear of no special damage to build
ings by wind or hail, but the damage
to growing crops was very
considerable more, a great deal,
than at nrst supposed. Corn, which
was already backward, will be still
more retarded, the blades being con
siderably cut up. Small grain was
lodged a good deal in places, and a
large per centage of it 3helled, some
estimating as high as half the crop.
While the storm seemed to have been
a very general one east and west of
us, the destruction was not uniform,
some sections escaping entirely,
others (a few being entirely de
stroyed. We have never seen a more
philosophical set of farmers, however,
seeming to think there will be an
abundance left.
Monday evening the Cornet
Band repaired to the residence
of Mr. H. J. Hudson for the
purpose of tendering heir musical
compliments to the newly married
couple, Mr. & Mrs. G. W. Phillips.
In answer to their music Mr. Hudson
appeared, and informed the band of
their absence, but as an evidence of
his own appreciation presented them
with a ten dollar bilL Mr. & Mrs.
Herman Oehirich were afterward ser
naded with, some of their choicst se

sweet, joyous tribute of the musicians.

The jubilant farmer of one week '
ago to-day sees what a change a few ,
days bring; one week ago crops
looked in first-claas order and every-
body looked forward to a large har
vest, but Thursday laat a severe 3torm ,
consisting of wind, rain and hail
made sad havoc among many fanners
in this vicinity. Yet later reports '
say that there will be a Iizht crop,
perhaps on the whole fifty per cent, j
of crops destroyed. We hope it is ,
less, as some farmers say they were j
scarcely damaged at all, as the hail '
passed in streaks. Speculative peo
ple say the corn is put back two or
three weeks. C.

Barley and rye harvesting is going
on briskly in this neighborhood. The
barley promises a good yield. Quite
a number of prominent farmers have
ordered or bought.;seif-binders thit
season. We hear that Messrs. Waite,
Eyman. Dack, Thomas and others will
have these machines, hence hand labor
will not be in as lively demand as it
seemed to become a while ago, and
men are coming around to ask for
work.
Wolf hunters were out Sunday

Fourth of July pic-nics have been

derstand, pretty enjoyable affairs.
Last week's hail has done some
damage to the crops, many cornfields
being pretty badly cut up. This will
make another drawback to tne al
ready late and backward corn of the
season. The iarge amount ot barley
sowed this year will heip supply feed
even if the corn crop should be short.
The creamery company offering two
cents less per degree after the 15th

pose the company cannot work with

the farmers will find that even at ten
cents a desrree for cream they will do
better than making butter with much
labor and then sell it at perhaps eight
cents & pound in trade.

The fearful storm of wind and rain,
accompanied with hail which passed
over us on the 13th, did immense
damage to the growing crops. Bar- '
ley, which was about ripe, was ail
beaten to the ground ; oats may re
cover somewhat, but it is so badly
lodged that k looks at present scarce- .

the pupils. After these addresses '
were made, it oecame the painful duty
of the teacher to say farewell to those
with whom he had met for thirteen
months in the scheol room. To say
this little word requires some effort,

some one that the Deering binder I
bought of you does not do good work.
Know you hereby that this is a foul
lie. My Deering binder does perfect
work, in every respect. While I cut
four acres of barley the other day, it
missed only three bundles, and that
oniy because I had the tentian too
loose, and no fault of the machine.
I consider it the simplest, strongest
and best binder I have seen.
