STErnEN Peebe, a shoemaker, crossed the Niagara river at Suspension Bridge the other afternoon, walking upon a five-eighth inch wire cable. Last week a fire almost swept the town of Marshfield, Wis., out of exist ence, and two thousand people were left without homes. The loss was not less than a $1,000,000. Wm. A. Bccklev, assistant postmaster at Coshocton, Ohio, was arrested Satur day on a charge of being, short in his accounts $2,200 with the government. Ho was taken to Columbus for trial. Mits.

Dowager Lady Maux, was robled the the other night at the Midland hotel in London, of her jewels worth 6,500 by a man she met on her arrival in London from Paris. He was a stranger but en gaged a room at the same hotel, and de camped sometime during the night with the jewels. The other day a party of five Nevajo Indians visited the trading post of A. M. Barton and killed him. They then helped themselves to the content of the store and departed without molesting the wife and family of the murdered man. This report comes from Bluff City, Utah. Reports from Otter Trail county, Minn., last week say that grasshoppers are devastating the grainfields, and farmers were threatened with the entire destruction of their crops. A Pefham correspondent says that within a radius of four miles of that town, 5,000 acres of grain and garden crops have been de stroyed. One million and a quarter of dollars went up in smoke at the Union stock yards at Chicago the other day. Soon after the fire started one of the tanks exploded, scattering burning lard over the adjacent buildings, and a dozen fires were soon competing with each other in the destruction of the immense establismcnt The packing company's main building burned was 300x475 feet A report came from Eldorado, Ks., on the 1st inst that the coroner's jury in the cjiso of Dr. Nance, charged with killing William Forney in Sycamore township the other day, brought in a verdict that Nance, (who is a brother of ox-Governor Nance of Nebraska) should lie held for murder. Nance was married last January, and his young wife is nearly distracted. Ex-Governor Nance had alreadv arrived. Secretary Fairchild Saturday tele graphed to all assistant treasurers di recting payment of July interest checks and coupons upon prescntrtion. Many of the interest checks for registered bonds were mailed in advauce in an ticipation of this action so as to facili tate their payment The effect will be to release from the sub-treasurv about 39,000,(K)0. The remainder of the inter est checks will bo mailed right away. The jury in the case of Jacob Sharp in New York, on a charge of bribery, agreed upon a verdict of guilty, in a very short time after retiring to their room one day last week, with recommen dation to mercy.

Axdbeas Josephs, of St Clair county, HL, believed to be rich, died in 1884, leaving three daughters. One of these married Andreas Wildgruber, who had been made executor of the estate. Wild gruber the other day came into Belle ville, EL, and told the story that since Lis father-in-law's death he had taken up bis residence at the old home, and his wife the other day while cleaning the room in which her father died, discover ed a rat hole in a corner of the closet, and in the hole was an old blue-yarn sock, which he polled out In it was $364 in greenbacks. After telling of this find. Mr. Wildgruber deposited this i sum to the credit of ths estate. We notice some of our exchanges are at tempting to poke fun at Columbus, on account of the projKised street car line. The trouble comes in right here: Columbus posesses just a little more enterprise than those cities whose sole business it is to hurl their slurs at her. Misery is a great lover of company. The Leigh Advocate is very correct Columbus was never in better shape than she is at present Her business men are solid and prosperous; her pub lic interests are being looked after with a unanimity of sentiment that is making everything; in the way of public enter prises, there is not one possessed by any city in Nebraska, (outside of Om aha and Lincoln), that Columbus does not have, and now is to be added the street car line. Articles of incorpo ration for this enterprise were filed some time since, the right of way granted by our citizens, giving until September 1st, 1888 to operate one mile of tho road. Only a few days have elapsed, and all the stock has been subscribed, the books closed, and the stockholders declare that the road will be constructed and operated at once. The difference lnjtween Columbus and somo of these towns that traduce her is that Columbus acts in stead of talks, while her traducers re verse that good method and talk instead of acting, and many of them are con tent to let it be all talk for themselves and talk against other places. When ever a man or a community is continu ally belittling another, speaking slight ingly of every good thing done or at tempted, to tho unprejudiced observer it is proof positive of envy. Columbus is satisfied to go along on the road she marked out long ago, one step at a time and that step sure; envious of no other community's welfare, glad of her own; in readiness to adopt any measure that the needs of the times demand or that will add to the business, to the comfort or to the safety of the city. The Advo cate is correct, and the enterprise that counts in these times is that which does the rcork, without boasting, and emulates the worthy deed, wherever or by whomsoever done. NKBKASKA NOTES. West Point expects to obtain another railroad before long. Red Willow was visited tho other night by a good rain. Fred Blake is sibout to build a large packing house at Hastings. The Pacific hotel block at Norfolk is being pushed to completion. Surveyors on the Burlington were camping last week in the vicinity of O'Neill. It is an open question at Kearney how to get the water into the canal and keep the sand out Albert Bader was found dead on the track of the Union Pacific near Papilion the other day. Dr. Antrim, of Holt county, is said to own the hirgest cow in the world, weighing 3,070 ponnds. Falls City is bound to have water works, having voted to issue 824,000 in bonds for that purpose. Complaints have been made at Ber trand that tho graves of the old soldiers along the Platte are being neglected. Loup City voted bonds the other day by a large majority to aid in the con struction and maintaining waterworks. Plum Creek 6ix years ago had ten voters. Property valuation there now is 99,000 and there are several more voters. Emerson Edwards at Hastings was kicked by a vicious horse the other day and sustained serious injuries to his right leg. Robison & Hitt, of Waterloo, la., have secured the contract of building four miles of street railway in Kearney with in sixty days for 24,000. Charles D. Jenkins, has accepted the the appointment of postmaster at Kala mazoo, Madison county, and the citizens will again be accommodated at that point with mail matter. William Long killed a mountain lion near RtiBhville several days ago. The animal was lying in the grass near the road and beemed peaceably inclined. It measured nine feet from nose to tip of tail. Burglars entered the general store of Theodore H. Bendlage at Boca one night last week by breaking open the front door. They were frightened away. Two pairs of shoes and a box of cigars are missiug. Dick Kloke, who was arrested the other day charged with releasing Bo hanan, had a hearing and was held to answer to the charge in the sum of 81,000 until tho next term of the District court in September. He gave bail. On John Craig's farm in Colfax pre cinct is a large prairio dog town, that has rapidly been growing in size for a number of years, and has resulted in nearly destroying n goodly number of acres of some of Mr. Craig's best pas ture lands. Mr. Craig now proposes to exterminate the town, and has hired a man to shoot the dogs, agreeing to pay him a hundred and twenty-five dollars when the last dog shall have been killed. The man who is to do the shooting com menced his work last week, and has thus far killed something over a thousand, and it is thought that there are as many more. Schuyler Herald. Death to Prairie Dojrs! Editor Journal, Columbus Neb. Dear Sir: It was my fortune in pur chasing land here in Platte county to have a few prairie dogs thrown in, as a nuisance, and it has ever since been my wish to get rid of them. I tried various kinds of poison, shooting, drowning, etc.. but nil failed until quite recently I learned that Bi' Sulphide of Carbon would destroy them. It is a liquid, can be purchased at the drug stores at a cost of from 10 to 15 cents a pound by the quantity. I bought from three dif ferent parties; the best and cheapest I got from Edward B, Taylor of Cleve land, Ohio. It is sure death to prairie dogs, gophers, squirrels, etc Mode of applying it: take a piece of cotton the 6ize of a hen egp, saturate it with about J an ounce of the Bi Sulphide of Car bon, throw it into the hole of the animal, cover the top of hole with ground, so that the cotton is loose in the hole. A gas is formed, and the dogs are killed. I have destroyed my dogs on about 80 acres at a cost of 830.00, and increased the value of the land 8500.00, One ponnd will do for 25 holes. This medicine is quickly applied and 6 sure death. No humbug about it Very respectfully thy friend, Isaiah Liqhtneb, Matson, Platte county, Neb.

The corn in this vicinity is taller than Roliert Ileidcn. We will give full particulars of the celebration next week. Messrs. Butler and Craun have large fields of llax, which is looking splendid now. Messrs. Sheldon and Gleason intend purchasing about two hundred wild western steers next fall; we will be around at that timo to see the fun. Quite a number of Columbus' well known citizens' came out to Otto Muel ler's on the 2()th, and spent the day very enjoyably; it was a sort of a sur prise party, instituted by Messrs. Schroeder, Brodfuehrer and others. Chinch bn's are again appealing in the wheat fields in this vicinity; unless wo soon get rain the wheat crop in this vicinity will be an entire failure; fields, where a few days ago no bugs wero to be seen now contain yellow spots show ing that the bugs are tit work in them. Since we wrote the above tho rain has come and made, the hearts of the farm ers rejoice; but as it was very slight. and followed by such a hot sun, in a few days its effects will not bo apparent.

Many young btibies have eruptions and sore throat, sometimes baffling tho most skillful physicians. Frequently children suffer from some inherited malady, and only tho radical treatment of an absolute and powerful blood puri fier can effect a cure; again the ailment may lie from contagion. At any rate, the safest plan is to at once eradicate all poison from the blood, no matter what the cause. So wisely did Mr. C. C. Key, one of the most cultured men and in telligent farmers of Alcora connty, Miss. Ho writes the following pointed testi mony of his experience: Corinth, Miss., Feb. 10, 1887. Gentlemen Last November my baby, not then a year old, had a bad breaking out on bis hands and body, accompanied by a very sore throat. I gave him some S. S. S., which I happened to have. When the family physician came, and learned what I was giving the child, ho told me to continue it, as it was tho best thing tho baby could take. Tho doctor proved wise, for in a short while tho eruption disappeared, and the throat got completely well. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
