Coming E-ents. Omaha Fair, Sept, 3 10. Nebraska State Fair, Lincoln, Sept. 9 -10. One-third of the business part of Sycamore, Wyandotte county, Ohio, was destroyed by fire the other day. A postal clerk at Vienna named Sealwaki has absconded with registered letters containing bank notes to the amount of 375,000. The Southern Presbyterians closed up their business at St. Louis on the night of the 28th ulu, and adjourned to meet in Baltimore next year. Three men were killed and a dozen or more badly injured by an explosion of a lioiler in an elevator in Huntington, W. Va., the other morning. A statement comes from Calcutta that there is now little doubt that the Hteamer with 750 lives, was lost in the recent cyclone, as reported a few days ago. A itEiiiitT comes from Madrid that a terrible plague of locusts is visiting the central iortioii of Spain. Men have been employed to keep the railroad lines clear of locttbts. Crops have been fearfully ravaged. m A cyclone passed over Upper San dusky, Ohio, the other afternoon doing great damage to trees and fences. The spire of the Catholic church, 200 feet high, was blown down, and the front of the church wrecked. It is stated at Rome that the central crater of Mount JEtna was erupting the other morning. The How continues in creasing in volume. Heavy clouds of smoke, and masses of stone and cinders are issuing from the crater. Charles and Roy Davis, of Eckarty, Ind., were captured by a party organized for that purpose the other morning, taken to the place where they assaulted and outraged the twelve- ears-old daughter of .John Fannegan, and hanged. News from Sioux City last week states that the Haddock cases were brought up and the state expected to try Fred Munchrath, jr., but the defence asked for a continuance of all the Haddock - cases until the Haptenilier term. This request was granted. A mis and wind storm passed over Wheeling, W. V:u, the other afternoon, doing much damage to property. Dur ing the storm a lxmt containing three Iersons capsized near the middle of the river, the occupants being swept out of sight almost immediately. Another item of news from Herat states that the Ghilzais have defeated 1,000 of the Ameer's regular troojts and raptured five guns and considerable baggage. Inhabitants of the province of Herat and adjoining districts are greatly excited over the success of the revolted tribe, and, it is suited, are ready to join the Ghilzais. A big fire w;is reported in New York on the 27th tilt. The stables of the Belt Line street railroad company at Tenth avenue and Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth streets, the largest in the city burned. Seventy-five dwellings, mostly tenements, a soap factory and brewery are among the buildings burned. It is estimated that the loss will be over $1, (100,000. The news from St. Petersburg con firms the statement that English engin eers are actively engaged in fortifying Herat. The Afghans displaying hatred of the English, the Ameer has been obliged to apHint military officials to protect men employed on the works. It is the aim of the English authorities to enable the garrison of 10,000 men at Herat to withstand a siege of ninety days. RonviEit takes the reins of govern ment of France in his own hands, and the new French Ministers asbiime their portfolios, and he briefly states to tho chamber of deputies his policy, which will consist in urging financial reform and retrenchment, with a new budget which will be prepared in accord with the recent vote of the chambers, eta, and to announce the determination of the ministry to resign unless they obtain the majority of the republican votes in the chamber. Sarah Jane Guther of Ft. Wayne. Ind., was arrested the other day for throwing her child into the St. Joe river. She made confession to the coroner of the affair. It is a 6ad case for the poor girl, who in an evil hour committed the error of her life, through the influence of a prominent business man of the city. Her father visited her after the child was born, and would have nothing to do with her, which, if ivossible, makes her rase still more sad. The other morning twenty tramps boarded a freight train near Kent, Ohio, and helped themselves liberally to fruit and provisions with which the cans were loaded. The engineer at Kent ran the train on a siding and the local police captured seven of the tramps, the others making their escape. Later on the party left fit Kent attacked and overpowered 'the crew of a local train there. They iimed into a box car and were locked up by tbe oooductor. Just before reach ing Akron the tramps kicked the door open and jumped from the wain -while it was in fall epeed, and made their -tgSft to the woods. Talmage at Washington. Onr Washington correspondent thus speaks of Rev. T. De Wit Talmage's ser mon at tho Drill ground in Washington during the recent National drill: he preached from a little, awning canopied pavillion in front of the grand stand. But to my surprise at first, the military, all except a few hundred, were conspic- J uous by their absence. Do not imagine that Mr. Talmage fell short of an au dience in consequence. He was greeted by a congregation of fifteen thousand strong. About seven thousand five hun dred people paid a quarter to get inside the enclosure and sit or stand anywhere within sound of his voice, and fully as many more paid fifty cents for a seat in the grand stand. While the sermon was in progress the soldiers were over at the camp ground fixing up for the dress parade which was to take place at the close. In due time they marched into the Drill ground to the music of their different bands, and during the whole week a more efl'ective scene was not witnessed than this last dress parade. Tho troops were massed in battalions across t he entire greensward and very skillfully placed as regarded their various colored uniforms. Many of the uniforms were striking, others brilliant and even gorgeous, and all con trasted well with the prevailing green of the parade ground. The Marine band of forty men in bright red coats, white helmits and white pants furnished the martial music and inarched from one end to the other of the front while they were playing as is usual in dress parades. The Generals and other officers, in full dress uniforms, stood at their proper places and altogether the picture was imposing. When the ceremonies of the parade were over and tho troops were preparing to leave the ground, their movements presented a brilliant spec tacle which will long be remembered by those who witnessed it. The day was perfect; bayonets flashed in the sunlight, banners and plumes waved, bright col ors glowed everywhere, and to heighten the effect of the scene, one soldier, over come by tho heat, fell fainting on the ground, and was carried from the field by comrades. What relation the expenditure for the smoking habit bears to the consumption of a few other articles more or less of a luxury ib seen by tho following exhibit, the figures blowing the estimated cost to the consumer, averaging coffeo at twelve cents per pound, tea at fifty cents, cocoa and chocolate at forty cents, sugar at six cents: Liquor, immmmmmmmammm $700,000,000. Tobacco, Sugar, JiV.,500,000. $187,000,000. Coffee, tei cocoa. Schools, $130,000,000: 1110,000,000. Sugar is the only article that is uni versally used, and is probably regarded a staple and necessary article of diet. About fifty-two pounds per capita are used at a cost of S3.12. Alcoholic and malt liquors, tobacco, coffee, tea, choco late are non-essential, or articles con sumed for tho mere gratification of the appetite. For that plesaure a portion of the community pas Sl,OSfi,000.000 annually. Not to exceed one-roiirth of the total population habitually use al coholic or malt beverages, nor more than one-sixth tobacco. Steadily do the habits of self-gratification increase, their growth stimulated by a higher civiliza tion. The more themasses have the more are t he luxuries of life demanded.---! meri vau Grocer. Volumes of Smoke by Day ami lied Lights liy Nfcht Plainly Visible Miles Away Ex ploring Partie at the Flare. Tombstone, Ariz., Juno 1. Senor Cain pa. just arrived from Nacosary, states that authentic news has reached Aposnra that at the timo of the first earthquake a volcano broke out on the Chihuahua side of the Sierra Madres near Hiedra Vordes and nlxiut thirty miles west of Casa Grande. Different parties have gone from Casa Granda to inspect the volcano, none of which had, owing to the intense heat, been able to approach nearer than three miles of the mass of molten lava which kept pouring down the mountain side. It is estimated that it extends fully ten miles from the crater of the volcano. Volumes of smoke by day and a red glare by night from the burning mountain are visible for a long distance. Gov. Torres of Sonora has directed a party to be sent from Oposura to inspect and report upon the phenomenon. A slight shock of earthquake was felt here Monday and another today. The raid of some of the Omaha news papers, notably the Republican, against Gov. Thayer is entirely uncalled for, as seen from this standpoint, and the Re publican has nothing to gain by its abuse. Let the General be the gov ernor of the state during the term for which he has been elected; if yon are capable of giving him good advice, do 60, and let him have the benefit of it, to the end that he may make a better governor, but if what ou think is good does not agree with the judgment of the official, who is sworn to do his duty, it will not be the first instance of a person gen erously undertaking to tell another what is best for him to do, and getting snubbed for his pains. Even great minds are not constructed alike, and the Republican should give its advice in a spirit of public benefaction, and let the consequences of a disregard of tho same rest with the governor, without slug ging. At 3 o'clock on the morning of the 29th ult, in the City of Mexico, was felt a violent shaking of the earth, which lasted five seconds. The next came pre faced by a low roar, accompanied by a stiff breeze and violent oscillations of the earth, lasting thirty-nine seconds. Houses swayed like ships at sea, and persons arising from their beds were in many cases thrown to the floor. Bells were rung in the hotels, and everywhere doors were forced open. Then came an other oscillation, and during this shock crockery was thrown down and pictures demolished in several houses. Merrick county has now a few more miles of railroad than it had a week ago. Track layitig on the L. & B. H. is going on at a lively rate. An engine crossed the section line north of town on Mon day for the first. It will be but a few days till the people of Midland will hear some other whistle than that at tbe creamery. It is said the Northwestern is about to propose that for $60,000 they will cross the county from Fullerton to Grand Island. No such proposition will find favor in Central City. Nonpareil. It Cost Several TiMn, O., Draggtos Several Hnnilml Dollar for Violating the Liqaor Law. Tiffin, O., June 1. Capt. Hayes, a de tective whom it is claimed is in the em ploy of the state saloon association, dropped down on our druggists today and with a decoy captured them all violating the Dow liquor law. At each of the drug stores his decoy got a bottle of whiskey and with this evidence went before a notary who is a saloon, keeper and swore warrants out for their arrests. The following are the sufferers to the penalty of $000 each: Hon. E. B. Hub bard, niemlier of the Ohio legislature from this county; Owen A. Ohl & Co., which includes non. J. A. Morton, county auditor; F. J. F. Marquand; J. W. C. Warner; J. L. St. John and J. P. Kinuimau & Sou. These firms represent nearly every church in the city and it is a surprise to the good people. Railroad Patse. livery jackleg lawyer in Nebraska who wants it gets a railroad pass on the ground that he is an employe of the road. Every politician whom the roads want to use at conventions and other useful places has his little "employe" annual. Not a solitary abuse has leen. corrected by the alleged abolition of passes. The same sultordination of politicians and lawyers goes on, oxcept more guardedly than before. The main herd of common editors are not allowed to have passes, so that their moans will deceive the public and make it imagine that the passes have been abolished. Any man of political influence, who is unscrup- uolus enough to ask for it and use it, can get a pass just as he used to. He must only be a little more explicit than for merly in his pledge to stand by the com pany. State Deinoemt. Ex-Vice President William A. Whee ler died at his home in Malone, N. Yn at 10:10 Saturday morning, June 4. He held a number of important offices be side that of Vice-President of the United States. He was an honest and faithful public officer. For many years ho had Jxeen a great sufferer from nervous pros tration, which threw a shade of melan choly over the latter years of his life. Just preceding his death he remained in a comatose state during the night and passed peacefully away without a sign of recognition of those about him. The greater jiortion of northern Cali fornia and western Nevada were visited last week by earthquakes. One house near Genoa, Nevada, after the earth quake, was surrounded by cracks in the ground from one inch to a foot in width. At Sacramento it shook the houses, at Carson City, Nevada, plastering and pictures fell from the walls. Hot springs are reported dried up. Many places were reported stricken by the shockB. NEBRASKA NOTES. Valparaiso is discussing the propriety of voting bonds for erecting a system of waterworks. Frank Allen, a commercial traveller about thirty-two years old, died at the Union, Falls City, from the effects of a prolonged spree. The eleven years old son of J. B. Chambers was thrown from a wagon by a runaway team at Atkinson the other night and had his neck broken. On Thursday O. F. Davis a well known citizen of Omaha was announced as seriously ill at Waukesha, Wis., whither he had gone for his health. The lemiierance party at Silver Creek were again reported victorious over the license men, as tho notice had not lieen published the time required by law. J. Johnson, of St. Edward, fourteen years old, fell dead in the street of Al bion on Decoration Day from heart dis ease, following the excitement of the pa rade. E. W. De Witt's store at Neligh was burglarized the other night, his safe blown ojien and relieved of SS0. The job showed professional skill. No clue to the thieves. Mrs. Madison Utter, living near In dianola, while out riding the other day, was thrown from her horse and killed. She was well known and respected in tho community. It is reported that plenro-neumonia has appeared in a herd run by B. W. Paine & Sons, a few miles east of El wood. Six head have died, the same symptoms prevailing in each case. Win. Siedschlog, a German over fifty years old, and living not far from Nor folk, committed suicide the other even ing by hanging himself. Domestic troubles, it is believed, led to the act. A report comes from Benkelman that a vein of coal has been struck on J. Y. Wining's farm near that town. The specimens dug out were good, and burned much better than ordinary coal. A farmer came into Hastings the other day from Silver lake and reports Cramer, who had his chin kicked off and breast caved in by a vicious pony, as likely to recover. He was given up as dead. A fourteen years old boy by the name of Spieer, living near Edgar, while get ting off a mule caught Iub foot in the halter and was dragged half a mile. He died a few minutes after being carried to the house. Richardson of Loup City, who killed Willard, was brought into court on the lBt inst., and upon motion founded upon his. affidavit, the case was continued for twenty days. There was a big crowd at the depot when he came in. The Presbyterian assembly that has been in session at Omaha for the past two weeks adjourned on the morning of the 30th ulL, to meet in the First Pres byterian church in Philadelphia the third Thursday in May, 1888. Burglars at Seward, the other night forced an entrance into the hardware stores of L. R. Cottrell and John Zim merer, emptying the money drawers of each. Besides small amounts of money, they secured about four dozen razors. The railroad commissioners held a meeting the other night at Norfolk, and listened to two complaints, one by city merchants against the Elkhorn line freight rates, and tbe other by a Sioux City dealer against Union Pacific rates. Lieutenant-General Sheridan has fifed upon Sept, 19th next as the date for tho beginning of the annual rifle competi tion between distinguished marks of the army. The match will take place at Bellevue rifle range near Omaha, and competitors will be selected by the de partment commanders. Mr. Jefferson Winship, an old settler in Platte valley and highly esteemed citizen has moved to Gordon, and pro poses to enter extensively into stock raising. We hope Mr. W. may find life pleasant and prosperous. David City Pretut. A reiort comes from Albion that P. E. Hall, superintendent of construction of the F., E. & M. V., was inspecting the other day tho work now completed on the road. It is stated that the Albion branch will lie completed to Oakdale by June 10. A good pig story comes from Mason City. It states that H. C. Zimmerman of Udell, brought in a dead young pig, which was a curiosity. It had a trunk similar to an elephant, one eye, and that in the middle of the forehead, and a soft horn just above tho eye. John T. Smith, living near McCook while returning home the other morning his horses took fright and run away throwing Smith out ami injuring him severely internally. After suffering in great agony for several days, ho died. He leaves a wife and three children. The citizens of Hastings had a grand time rejoicing on the evening of the 1st inst., over the result of tho election for bonds for the Missouri Pacific railroad, which were carried by a handsome ma jority. The road is expected to reach that city by the 1st of January next. Claude Smith, an orphan boy thirteen years old, living with his grandfather near Utica, in attempting to cross tho track the other afternoon in front of a moving freight train, stumbled and fell on the track, the wheels passing over him and crushing his head frightfully. Mr. F. Edgerill, living near Fairmont, while riding on horseback on his way home was struck by lightning knocking him insensible. When his horse reached the barn Edgerill regained his senses. He found his horse uninjured, but that the skin on his hands and legs was burnt off. Deputy Shoriff B. C. Yeomans returned the other day to Weeping Water, from Sigourney, la., with three prisoners who gave their names as James Kimball, Ed ward Knight and Frank Williams, and are without doubt tho parties who bur glarized Ashman Bros, hardware store. Some of the stolen goods were found on their persons. Mrs. Celestia C. Hubbard, from Ex eter, confined in the asylum for the in sane at Lincoln, committed suicido Wed nesday. She tore her night gown into slips, mude a rope of them, attaching one end to a hinge of the transom, the other around her neck. She had been in the asylum two weeks, and leaves a hus band and four children. Mrs. Catharine Bateney, aged eighty four years, was run over and killed by a passenger train the other evening three miles east of O'Neill. Tho liody was all cut to pieces. She had wandered from home, crossed the river on the railroad bridge and sat down on the track. The engineer did not boo her until within twenty feet, and could not stop the train. A new and extensive railroad project was being discussed last week at Oma ha by a numlier of prominent gentlemen now engaged in the work. It is the building of a continuous route from Yankton, D. T., to the Gulf of Mexico. The present proposition is to enter Ne braska at Burehard in Pawnee county, and to build from that point to Omaha. The Albion branch of the Chicago fc Northwestern road is completed to El gin. Part of the constructing force has been transferred to the southern part of the state, and the branch to Oakdale will not lie finished until aliout the 15th. Two towns have been laid out between Albion and Elgin. One named Loran, in honor of Loran Clark, of Albion, the other named Petersburg, in honor of John Peters, of Albion. Judge Tiffany, at Albion, the other day fined D. Jackson 31,100 for violation of the liquor law. The village board had granted license to Jackson, for which he paid the amount required, $1.1)00, but the license was afterwards revoked by Judge Tiffany, there having been a re monstrance filed against tho issuing of the license strong enough to make it illegal. The license money was not re turned, and Jackson continued to run his saloon. At tho last term of the dis trict court eight indictments for selling without license and one for selling to minors were found againet Jackson with the above result. As soon as the numerous members of the Presbyterian General Assembly got ready to leave Omaha, another large and influential christain order take their places to hold the thirty-third biennial convention of the Evangelical Lutheran church in the United States, and were organized Wednesday night of last week, and very appropriately welcomed to the state and city by Governor Thayer and Mayor Broatch. It was de cided on all hands that there was room enough left in Omaha to appropriately entertain and accommodate the repre sentatives of Martin Luther. Although a large number are in attendance every one will have a place to board and lodge. ADDITIOSAL LOCAL. Palestine. W. H. Tedrow has been around among the school teachers this week. M. P. Hnrd, Esq., of Columbus was at Palestine Wednesday of this week. A. G. Rolf has bought a span of horses and a colt got them at Shell Creek price $280.

We are having dry weather; the crops are looking fine now, but unless ne have rain very soon they will suffer. Prof. Z. C. Rush preached his farewell sermon to the churches of St. Edward and Palestine last Sunday. He goes to Albion as his future field. There is a large amount of breaking being done in this vicinity this spring more than has been done in any one sea son in seven or eight years. A prohibition meeting will lie held at the school house on June 8th or 9th. Speakers from Lincoln and Columbus will address the meeting. Everybody is cordially invited to come and hear good speaking whether you be lieve in the principles or not. News is scarce here. There is not a scandel or an assault and battery case in the neighborhood to relate. Our people are too gentlemanly, not cowardly enough to attack an old man under any provocation whatever. Neboville. Too dry again. Messrs. M. Brugger and Fred Stenger were visitors at Neboville Sunday. Will Graigert, of Woodburn, accom panied by Frod Gerber, came over to see his brother Charley last week. Chris Kersch, foreman of Anton Heit kemper's cigar factory in Columbus, was out on a visit to his parents, Sunday lie fore last. Thursday afternoon, June 2, took place tho marriage of Mr. Fred Biud brock to Miss Anna Hagelman, both of Sherman township, Rev. Fisher perform ing the ceremony. Tho many guests re port having had a good time, and the other boys are aroused to a keen sense of the fact that they are getting left in the matrimonial lurch, so to speak. Get thore, Theodore, it is your move. Nich. Affolter has returned from Washington territory, and is working for Pat Mnrry. While in tho west he worked for Knoble, formerly a butcher in Columbus. Nich. says that after a long trip through tiio great west, he has come to the conclusion that God's country, othorwise known as Nebraska, is good enough for him. B. X. District 44 ami Vicinity. Henry Kruger is breaking prairie on C. G. Hickok's farm. Tho corn fields, generally, were never more clear of weeds, at this time of the year. Master Clarenco Clark is atllicted with 6ore eyes, tho result of his recent attack of measles. The tame grass on the upland is just as good now, as it was three weeks ago; in want of rain. Messrs. Otis Clark, John McGill and Eugene Clark, accompanied by Misses Addio and Myrtle Clark, spont a very pleasant evening with. tho young folks at tho residence of J. H. Drinnin, labt Thursday. A royal good timo was had. 'Rah for the glorious Fourth! In a few more weeks tho 110th anniversary of American Independence will dawn, and if Columbus contemplates waving tho starry banner high, it is timo the masts were being hoisted and borne "big gun" got into position, that can tire out a vol ume of patriotism sufficient to enthuse tho people of this great republic with light and liberty, and what goes to con- stitute the "purest of happiness. R. Monroe Items. Mrs. II. H. Eyman of Genoa is visiting in this neighl Kirhood. MRs Hester Light ner and brother Stephen are visiting at the Santoe Agency, their former home. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Pickering have a young son; Grandpa and Grandma Waite are doing as well as could lie ex pected. The sociable which was held for the benefit of tho Methodist Sabbath School laft Friday evening was well attended and quite a success. Small grain begins to show the effects of dry weather, and even if we have rains later along we fear it will not make a full crop; hay is drying up and the prospect is that it will be scarce; corn is looking well, and farmers are busy cultivating. We learn that Geo. Dntcher contem plates going into the sorghum making business the coming fall, using steam to evaporate it with; we aro pleased to see that steam is coming into such general use and as it makes such a good servant, we hope to see the timo that housekeep ing can be done by steam, and thus re lievo the overburdened housewife. T. D. X. Kisinarrk Township. Otto Mueller is selling his oats. News is about as scarce as hens' teeth these time. Most of tho neighliors have cultivated their corn once, and aro going through it the second time. William Gerhold took some more of his cattle and part of his sheep away to pasture this summer. Tho farmers aro again wishing for rain; although the crops aro looking well at present, they will not remain so long unless the water element comes down in abundance. There was a dance at John Connelly's in tho evening of the 3d; several parties were present from Richland. The music was furnished by the Shaad boys, who deserve credit for tho -manner in which it was rendered. Dancing was the order of the evening, and it is needless to say that everybody enjoyed themselves. Charles. In Memory of May! with thy bird, eons, thy buds, and tweet flowers.

A SPOIiTINt; MANS KXPKIMKNCE. A Chapter from the LifeofT..!. M'Mullan.or Corinth. Mis. Mr. McMnllan is -one of tho best known chicken and dog fanciers in tho South. His coops and kennels are filled with the finest specimens of game chick ens and well-bred sporting dogs. For many years of his life ho had a serious misfortune, which he explains in the following letter, which also tells what was the unlucky man's real Mascot: You will pardon me for addressing you on a subject on which I know you must get numerous, if not innumerable letters, but gratitude prompts me to tell you about what I regard my most re markable cure of rheumatism by your S. S. S. For ten years I suffered with rheumatism. I had about "saturated" my entire liody. I had pains in all parts of it. My left leg was the worst affected. Even today, though I am entirely well, my left leg is a little smaller than the right, shriveled from rheumatism. For five years I may say that I was in danger of starvation from inability to work at my trade on account of this terrible disease. When I came to Corinth from Alabama I was on crutches for two years. Of course dur ing all these ssul years I was attended by good physicians. They gave mo powerful doses of potash and sarsaparil la, which did relievo me some for awhile, but I got no permanent relief until, by a friend's persuasion, I used S. S. S. I determined from the benefit I received from the first few bottles to tako a thorough course of your medicine, and I took about one dozen of the Specific. When I began taking tho medicine I weighed 130 pounds, and when I finish ed tho thirteenth bottle I weighed 237 pounds, and I weigh that yet. I regard your medicine as tho poor man's best friond, if ho will only tako it in time, and thus save extravagant doctor's bills and preserve his health. With gratitude and with best wishes, I remain, Your obedient servant, T. J. McMullan. Corinth, Miss., Feb. 17, 1887. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
