It is said that Crawford county, Ind., has a cave inhabited by human beings, three feet in height and forty pounds in weight. A terbific wind, rain and lightning storm visited Omaha about 10 o'clock Thursday night. About one inch of water fell. Judge Kinkaid is announced as a can didate for supreme judge. We believe that the great body of republicans favor the nomination of Judge Reese. A wind storm at West Superior Minn. Friday, blew down and totally demolish ed a large, threo story building, worth $6,000. Twenty-six men were at work on the building. Seventeen men were buried in the ruins, The discovery has been made in Bir mingham, Conn., that not a child has been born in the White Hills school dis trict in nine years and that the youngest child attending school is nine years of age. The population is about five hun dred persons and soon the schools will have to be abandoned. The official residence of Governor Pat tison of Pennsylvania has recently been fitted up with a bath room at a cost of $1,200. The State pays the bill, and yet Pattison is a Presidential candidate. No man who has such an expensive bathroom, made at public expense will ever be the Democratic candidate for President. New York Press. J. RCaxtlin hauled out 1,200 pounds of twine, made by the Fremont hemp and twine company, on Wednesday to Webster to lie used by the members of the grange in his section of country. The twine 'made by this company is giv ing good satisfaction and we hope to hear good results from our farmers in this part of the conn try. (North Bend Argus. Five freight cars and a caboose crash ed through a high trestle work near Spokane Falls, Wash Tuesday last, and the wreck was frightful. The fireman has since died, and the roadmaster is probably fatally hurt; the other passen gers and train men escaped without se rious injury. Two of the cars were loaded with cattle and horses, the most of which were killed. How long people can live in some parts of this country when they try is shown by some statistics of longevity which the New York Herald has recent ly gathered in Connecticut, pre-emi-.nently the "Land of Steady Habits." It appears from careful estimates that there are in Connecticut today 1,028 per sons over ninety years of age, 5,574 over eighty and 17,875 over seventy. A fishing party from Pine City, Minn., returned Thursday from the pine forests of Snake river bringing with them a wild woman and her 16-year-old daughter. The daughter tells a story of terrible suffering and privation. She says that the husband and father of the family was eaten by wolves while intoxi cated last March. Since then they have had no food in their cabin. The three younger children have died of starva tion and were cooked and eaten by the mother and eldest daughter. The mother's mind finally gave away and she is now a raving maniac The following frank statement from J. E. Hare, of Trenton, Texas, will be of interest to many of our citizens, "My little boy was very bad off for two months with diarrhoea. We used va rious medicines, also called in two doc tors, but nothing done him any good until we used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave immediate relief and soon cured him. I consider it the best medicine made and can conscientiously recom mend it to all who need a diarrhoea or colic medicine." For sale by C. E. Pol lock k Co., and Dr. Heintz, drug gists. 12-tf The fish exhibit at the World's Fair, Chicago, promises to be the largest and best ever known, and there is no doubt but it will be a wonderful incentive to the business of raising fish. As the sub ject of the different varieties and their adaptability becomes better known, there will be immensely more fish raised. This is a subject that ought to be of fascinating interest to the people of Nebraska, where there is abundant . opportunity for work in this line. It is baooBiiiig for every enterprising young person to thoroughly inform themselves in this subject, then, when they visit the exposition, and see the wonderful dis " play, they will be able to intelligently appreciate it, besides gaining a knowl edge that will be worth much money to them if they apply it in raising one of the aaeat valuable and wholesome food Kodaeta there is. NEBRASKA NOTES. Louie Tyfang, better known as Sing Lee, the celestial who presides over the city laundry at Fairmont, was taken to Omaha last Tuesday by a deputy Uni ted States marshal, on the charge of bootlegging ardent spirits. Charles B. Heise attempted suicide at the American house, West Point, last Friday night by cutting his throat with a pocket knife, but will probably recov er. He had for some time been consid ered unsound mentally. A heavy rain storm at North Platte Saturday evening, wind blowing almost to the extent of a hurricane. Waahlagtea tetter. From oar regalar correspondent. Secretary Rusk who has keen working unusually hard he is never a drone since his return from the Pacific coast with the president's party, owing to the transfer of the weather bureau and oth er important departmental business in cidental to the beginning of a new fiscal year, will leave Washington this week for a vacation. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Rusk, and his son, Blaine, and at Chicago the family will be joined by Miss Rusk who has been visiting the daughters of Secretary Foster at Fosto ria, Ohio. The family are all looking forward to a delightful rest at the old Wisconsin homestead. Secretary Foster, like the level-headed man tnat be is, declined to make any specific answer to the five-column tirade which Mr. Powderiyhas launched in the shape of an open letter addressed to Mr. Foster, concerning the trouble about the discharge of the seven Knights of Labor from the bureau of engraving and printing, further than to characterize it as being so abusive and untruthful as to place it under the suspicion of being in tended to be used as a democratic cam paign document. The publication of this open letter shows very bad judg ment on the part of Mr. Powderly, and incorporating therein a copy of a letter which he knew was taken from the desk of Secretary Foster without his knowl edge or consent by one of his colleagues on the Knights of Labor executive com mittee Devlin and Hays during the committee's conference with Secretary Foster, was still worse. No more interesting soldiers' reunion was ever held in Washington than that of the Twenty-fifth New York cavalry, which convened here on Saturday. On that day twenty-seven years ago, the gallant men of the old twenty-fifth al though only about 700 in number by an exmoiuon or soldierly nerve tnat was not surpassed during the civil war, sue ceeded in preventing the capture of Washington by Gen. Early, who had swooped down upon the town with 90,- 000 men expecting to find it entirely un protected. When the twenty-fifth bold ly mounted the breastworks and march ed to meet Early's advancing line of battle he supposed them to be the skirmish line of the Sixth corps which he knew was expected at Washington and he retreated, thus throwing away an opportunity that was never to come again. It was very interesting to hear the veterans tell of how President Lin coln, in a long linen duster and a black slouch hat, circulated among the men on that memorable day and spoke words of cheer to them notwithstanding the gloomy outlook. The old soldiers met with a hearty welcome, as they de served to, from the Washingtonians, many of whom remember the joy with wnicn tnese same men, and their com rades now gone to answer the last roll call, were received on that other July day. The scientific party from the agricul tural department is now on its way to the arid section of western Kansas, where the attempt is to be made on a grand scale to produce rain by artificial methods. The party carried 60 balloons ten feet in diameter when expanded, which are to be filled with a combina tion of oxygen and hydrogen gas and exploded high in the air by means of an electric wire attached to the balloons; 100 kites, five feet high, to the tails of which are to be attached dynamite bombs and other explosives and a lot of wood mortars to be used to throw bombs from. These things are to be scattered along a prairie for a mile or two, and the intention is to keep up the explosions continuously for at least two entire days. The result will be anxiously looked for here, for while there is nobody who has dared to say that thing cannot be done, there are many who are more or less sceptical about it If it is a success it will rank as one of the greatest discov eries of this age of great discoveries, and will make many million acres of land, now almost worthless, very valuable for agricultural purposes. The controversy between Mr. Nicolay, of Washington, who was Mr. Lincoln's private secretary and other gentlemen as to whether Mr. Lincoln favored the nomination of Andrew Johnson for vice president in 1864 is an entirely useless one, and except for the dearth of more important news it would never have gained the prominence that has been given it for some days past in the news papers, and even if it were an all-important subject the exchange of abuse between Mr..Nicolay and Col. McClure, editor of the Philadelphia Times, would throw no light upon it. Washington is in dead earnest about securing next year's encampment of the G. A. R. and the delegates to Detroit will carry with them a cordial invitation and the assurance that $100,000 has been subscribed by the citizens of Washing ton for the entertainment of the veter ans next year. A committee of promi nent citizens may also go to Detroit.

Katie Browner expects to spend a portion of this week in Schuyler, attend ing the institute, which will convene there this week. A. C. Pickett has purchased Ed. Wee cott's interest in the flax machine com bination, which was formed here last spring. Mr. Hicks of tbe Fremont draft-horse company, was doing business in theso parts last week. Jenie Clark had the misfortune to have the index finger on bis right hand badly mashed in a hand corn-sheller last week. Jenie will give the inside of the corn sheller a wide berth hereafter espe cially with his fingers. D. L Clark of Creston spent Sunday with his brother, A. W. Clark. Mrs. Gearnes spent part of last week with Mrs. Lockhart. Mrs. F. C. Gleason and daughter Flor ence were visiting Mrs. A. C. Pickett a couple of days last week.

Thus far an aggregate of $2,095,000 has been appropriated by twenty-nine states for representation at the World's Fair. Twenty-four foreign nations have now officially accepted the invitation to par ticipate in the Exposition. Russia, Tur key, Denmark, Persia and Egypt are among the recent acquisitions. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union' and Woman's Temperance Pub lication Association have applied, through Josephine R. Nichols, of Indi anapolis, for 100 by 20 feet of space in which to make an exhibit.
