Frank Gobdos, an American prospec tor, has discovered rich tin deposits near Guyanjnato, Mexico. One man was killed and Ave danger ously injured on the Ice railway at the . WorldVUiiip TjiPRday Jast. Mb. Ronin of Fremont has had alumi num shoes put on his fast horse ."Lemon." The metal was hammered out cold, and each weighed only two ounces. The Good Templars of the United States and Canada were in session at Dee Moines, Iowa, all last week. They claim that prohibition is growing in popularity. At Lemars, Iowa, last week Atlee Hart was convicted of black mail in connection with the Sioux City Sunday Sun. J. L. Lewis is now on trial for the same offense. The Great Northern railroad has been completed, and St. Paul is correspond ingly happy. The managers immediate ly commenced cutting on both freight and passenger rates. The failure of the McCague Savings bank and the closing of tho doors of tho American National bank at Omaha Inst Monday caused a run on a number of the banks in that city, but all demands were met with such promptness that nothing serious resulted. The trial of Lizzie Borden, at New Bedford, Mass., for the murder of her father and step-mother, is dragging along slowly, with the smpathy all in favor of Miss Borden. If she is ac quitted the murder will remain as much a mystery as the Snell case in Chicago. It is now Revenue Collector North's turn to be pestered with applications for positions at his disposal.' It was one of his strongest consolations when he thought he was not going to get the of fice, that he would not have the appoint ments to worry over. No rosewithout its attendant thorn. Canaiqre, a plant somewhat resemb ling .the sweet potato in shape and dimensions, but containing tannic acid in large quantities, promises to become a new product and a very valuable one to the producer. At S10 a ton, some of the better tracts of land in Pecos valley have yielded 100 to 8200 an acre. At 3:35 p. m. on the 18th Gillespie, Stevens and Middleton, of the cowboy race, in the order written, arrived at Wausa, Nebr., and were warmly greeted by the citizens, Doc Middleton having to stand guard over his horse to keep the people from robbing him of his tail. Horses and men were in good condition, and are expected to register at Sioux City today. Settlers on timber claims will be glad to note the tenor of an opinion recent ly filed by the secretary of the interior, remarks the Nebraska Farmer. It puts on record a decision from the depart ment to the effect that if a settler has honestly tried to live up to the require ments of the timber culture act he will be protected in the possession of his property though there is not a growing tree thereon. This is simply justice. A man cannot be held responsible under the adverse conditions of nature. The opinion is well taken and it sets a prece dent that can safely be followed hereaf ter, and one, in fact, that was anticipat ed by the action of the last congress. Exports from New York for April, 1893, in breadstuffs, provisions, cotton, cattle, hogs and oil were S1G,297,1G1 less than in April, 1892 imports, increasing 96,400,000 in the same month in ISO:), in New York alone. Europe is loaded down with enormous war debts and mili tary expenses; buys less of us, and their merchants and manufacturers are com pelled to push their wares into our Market, far greater and better than any other in the world, even at cheap prices or a possible loss. Ilence these large imports, notwithstanding our tariff bar riers. "To reduce the tariff, ' says the Philadelphia Inquirer, "is to open the flood gates and drown our own indus tries." Nebraska's live stock interests are to be made the subject of investigation in a short time by a senatorial commission. Senator Pefferof Kansas heads the com mission. He is a member of the senate committee on agriculture and forestry, and as such is also a member of tho sub committee on cattle and grain. Other members of the committee are Senators Wasburn and Roach. The work of the commission started with Chicago. From there the route is to Minneapolis, Oma ha, Kansas City and Topeka. Facts and figures will be forthcoming from millers, packers and wheat shippers. Tho capi tal cities of several western agricultural totes will be visited. Farmers, live clock men, and producers generally will be interviewed as to methods of pUatwg, growing, storing and selling grains, stock, eta Their report will be of great interest to all western people. -Nebraska Farmer. A Strange Tribe is Arizona. In the Indian village or "city" of Wolpai in northwestern Arizona there exists and has existed for centuries a condition of civilization which is neither socially nor morally much inferior to that possessed by the American people today, with whom the members of this tribe have had but little communication, says a writer in the New York Adver tiser. It is particularly among the Wol pai women that the degree of civiliza tion seems to be most remarkable. Of course they have strange customs, which are utterly at variance with the Chris tian mode of living, but I believe that following brief account of the life of a Wolpai woman will not only be interest ing, but it will prove that, uncivilized as they and all the North American Indians are supposed to be, the women of this tribe are not measurably far behind our American housewives in industry, do mestic tact and ability or in morals. When the child is born she is prayed over, after the custom of the tribe, and then a strangely superstitious ceremony is gone through vis., the baby is rubbed in wood ashes "in order that her bones may not become loose." Until she is 10 years old she lives a life of perfect child hood, romping, climbing, playing with innumerable toys, and doing everything that a civilized child would like to do, but dare not. As a result, the little Wolpai maiden of ten years old is well knit and robust, and has setup a natural foundation of health with which to begin her life of usefulness. At this age she dresses like her elder sisters, and is at once led into the secrets of the kitchen and instructed in the manufacture of baskets, pottery and other useful wares, and before eho is 15 ebe is Bkilled in carding and dyeing wool and in weaving blankets, petticoats and other garments. Dr. Shufelst says that "in the number of stews, ragouts and broths" which a Wolpai maiden can make, "or in the endless variety of hominy, mush, pop corn and piki bread, she will hold her own with the most ingenious American housewife." But the most peculiar thing about these women is the fashion in which the)' wear their hair. It is arranged on both sides of their head, like the horns of a mountain sheep, in two enormous whorls. This is accomplished by wind ing the hair around some pliable switches of willow, and has a most curious effect. Considerable care is taken in the prep aration of this part of the toilet, and it is in strange contradistinction to the customs of the Apaches, Utes and Nava jo Indians, whose hair hangs in un kempt, loose masses. After marriage the Walpai maidens cease to wear their hair in whorls. It is then parted in the middle and tied in a kind of queue, after the same style as the men. The girls of this tribe choose their own husbands. In the household, where everything is clean as a new pin, the wife reigns su preme, and daughters inherit their moth er's property. The lottery, ornamental basket work and woven material of this tribe are of peculiar excellence, and would no doubt fetch high figures in competition with many of the commer cial products of our stores. But in the matter of buying and selling the same custom that is observed by the Zulas holds here viz., no purchase can be made indoors unless by the consent of the wife. The Wonderful Moving Sidewalk at Chicago. From Henry Haven Windsor's article on "Transit Facilities at Chicago," in the June Review of Reviews, we clip the following: For those who come by the lako route, and for others who prefer to sail on land, there is the movable side walk, seating 40,000, and extending out on tho great pier 2,000 feet into the lake. The view of the grounds from the end of the pier is superb, and as one can ride as long as the fancy dictates for one five cent fare, it is deservedly popular. The construction of the moving sidewalk with its endless chain of seats was not alone for fun, but fact, and to demon strate its wonderful possibilities for the transportation of great masses of peo ple. The line, hich is operated by elec tricity, has a capacity of 240,000 pas sengers per hour. There are three end less platforms, forming a loop at each end. The first is stationary, the second moves at three miles an hour, and upon it one steps in a natural walk but with out experiencing any jar or shock? from this he steps to the third platform, mov ing three miles faster than the second, or at a total of six miles per hour. This third platform is entirely filled with cross seats. The moving platformB are carried on ordinary railway wheels and track and constitute one of the most in teresting attractions on the grounds. For The Jouknai.. Moral Courage Young man, you will need a great deal of moral courage as you go through this world, and if the demand for it is greater than the supply with you is likely to be, do your best about it, if you wunt your life to be a success. When your associates do right, it will be easy for you to do so also; but when they do wrong and try to get you to follow them in some wrong practice, perhaps to violate the Sabbath, have you moral courage enough to say, No? God says, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." Bear in mind as you mingle with the world, that if you do not firmly resist the temptation to com mit even what you might regard as small sins, soon the idea of committing great ones will not startle you. Be prompt to say yes, or no, at all times as the right demands, even though by so doing you may be in the minority, or stand alone. Remember Christ said, "Broad is the way that leadeth to de struction, and many there be which go in thereat, because straight is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." So you need not expect to see the major ity in the right at all times, but just call forth your moral courage, for soon all uncertainties will be swallowed up in one certainty death, and what then? X. D. H. W. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. City Council. All were present Friday evening when Mayor Schupbach called the council to order. Several corrections were ordered made in minutes of previous meetings read, among others that a sidewalk had been ordered on the east side of blocks G5, 77 and 100, instead of west side. G. W. Phillips asked for the removal of water hydrant at the corner of Fif teenth and M streets. Katie Stureck presented her bond as herder, which was approved. The city attorney, to whom certain claims for expense of connection with water mains had been referred, reported that, in his opinion, they were not legal claims against the city. A portion were made against Charles Schroeder, some against A. DusselS, besides there is no law or ordinance making them a legal claim against the city. Report adopted. The committee on claims reported having investigated the bill of John Schmoker for famishing medical attend ance for the Arabian woman, and con sulted the city attorney, and arrived at the conclusion that the city is not legally responsible for the bill. Report adopted. Committee on streets and grades re ported recommending that the report of the street commissioner be referred back to him. The same committee reported upon the petition of Saley and others that granting their request would require a large fill to be made, and as there was no ground available, and the benefit would not justifiy the expense, they recom mended the request be not granted, and the report of the committee was adopted by the council. The city attorney was directed to draft a contract with A. Dussel & Son, also their bond in 8600 for faithful perform ance of contract, for the extension of water mains according to specifications, and the mayor was authorized to sign such contract on behalf of the city when proper bond has been signed. Three resolutions, offered by Newman, were adopted, as follows: Resolved, That the city attorney be and is hereby requested to present his written opinion at the next meeting of the council as to the license fund of this city, whether the said fund, when paid into the city treasury, belongs to the school fund as soon as paid into said treasury and ia under -the control of the school board, or whether the said license fund, as paid into the city treasury is a city fund and must be transferred by resolution of the city council to the treasury of the school board. Resolved, That the city treasurer be and he is hereby instructed to report to this council at its next meeting the total amount collected on the general fund levy of the years 1890, 1 and 1)2, the amount collected on each levy to be re ported separately, whether the same was collected by him or by former treasurers. Resolved, That the city treasurer be and he is hereby instructed to transfer the sum of $79.01 from the special mis cellaneous fund to the general fund. C. A. Newman and Jonas Welch, of finance committee, made a majority re port after having examined the final re port of the city treasurer, as presented by L Sibbernsen as deputy treasurer, showing receipts and disbursements of the various funds, and their present con dition briefly as follows: General fund, overpaid, 82,539.90; occupation tax, on hand, $12.87; water works (maintaining), overpaid, $578.04; water works bond, on hand, $295.90; special police, overpaid, special sidewalk tax, on hand, $20.23; street, alley and highway, on hand, $30,82; Platte river bridge bond, over paid, $35G.18; Loup river bridge bond, on hand, $41(5.75; special miscellaneous, on hand, $79.01, the balance showing funds of the city overpaid $2,050.91. Your committee finds that there is a difference between the final report of the city treasurer and the report of your committee of S220 in favor of the city as follows: there is reported as collected for occupation tax the sum of $4,766.50 when it should 1m $4,776.50, a difference of $10. There is reported as paid out for interest coupons on April 9, 1893, on the water works bond fund, the sum of $1,750. Your committee has received interest coupons on ti.e water works bond fund, as paid April 9, 1893 to the amount of only $1,540, a difference of $210, making a total of $220, which is charged to the city treasurer, in the re spective funds as above set forth. Gray made a minority report as fol lows: "The minority of your committee on finance would respectfully report that I have examined the final report of the late city treasurer and find tho same correct except a clerical error of ten dollars in extending amount collected on account of occupation tax. I also found that three coupons for $70 each amounting to $210, have not been re ceived by the city treasurer, said cou pons being for interest due and payable in the city of New York April 9, 1893, and the late treasurer showed satisfac tory evidence that the money to pay same, had been duly forwarded to the bank at which coupons are payable, and when same are received the apparent discrepancy reported by the majority of the committee will entirely disappear." Gray moved the adoption of the mi nority report; seconded by Hoffman. Newman moved an amendment to adopt the majority report seconded by Welch. An exciting discussion followed in which all the members of the council took a lively part, also Mr. Sibbernsen. After this. Councilman Spoerry moved an amendment to the amendment, to adopt the majority report, spread the minority report upon the record, and accept Mr. Sibbersen's explanation as satisfactory. After more talk Spoerry's motion carried unanimously, seeming to cover the whole country and a part of the Sandwich islands. On motion of Galley, the city engineer was authorized to lay off the lines for work on the water mains, under the supervision of the water commissioner. On motion of Spoerry, the water com missioner was ordered to make his report for the last year, and present it at the next meeting of the council. The (lai-nUhee Cases. Considerable interest was manifested the latter part of the week in a suit at law a little out of the usual course of proceedings. Some time ago nearly all of our merchants received the following circular, which will explain itself: "I will pay you spot cash for any claims, notes, accounts or judgments that you hold against employes of tho railways, express companies or telegraph companies mentioned below. Send me name of debtor, his address, capacity in which he works, the company for which he works, and amount and character of your claim, and I will make you an offer. G. T. Webster, Sioux City Iowa." Some Columbus merchants sent in- a few accounts, and in due time several railroad men received notice from Eras tns Young, auditor of the Union Pacific road, that their wages had been gar nisheed. Upon investigation the men so gar nisheed, believed that it was done under the advisement of Fuller & Wilcox, at torneys of this city. They consulted C. A. Woosley and at his suggestion suit was brought against Fuller & Wilcox for violation of sections 50C4 and 5065 of the code of Nebraska, which prohibit any action to "seize, attach, or garnishee the wages of such person or persons earned within sixty days prior to the com mencement of such proceedings, for the purpose of avoiding the effect of the laws of the state of Nebraska concerning exemptions." Suit was brought Satur day in the county court, It was decided after sorne delay to have a jury trial and tluTcase was carried over until Tuesday at 9 o'clock. Saturday evening a few railroad men and a great many town boys engaged in a sort of a "hoodoo" performance, marching around tho streets with a drum corps and a few transparencies, calculated to show the feeling of railroad employes toward their supposed perse cutors. As we go to press this (.Tuesday) after noon the case is being tried in Judge' Hensley's court. Humphrey Brief!. Rev. Father Titus was in town Mon day.

Of course you do every one doos. But yon will not end your journey with a visit to the Fair. You will wunt to go back to the old home in New York, Ohio or Pennsylvania. You will, perhaps, want incidentally, to go to Washington, call on the president to in quiro after tho "plum" crop, in fact make a swing around the whole circle, take in Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Wheeling, Wash ington, Baltimore, and New York. That would make a splendid trip if taken over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Over no other railroad route in the east, can there be found more delightful and varied scenery than over the famous B. & O. It is the only direct route from Chicago to Washington. Leaving Chi cago on the finest and fastest' trains in the world, vestibuled from end to end, lighted by the famous Pintsch gas, pro tected by Pullman's anti-telescoping device, and a perfect block system, you are rapidly whirled over a splendid road bed and down through the grand old states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Penn sylvania and Virginia, away up among the mountain fastnesses of the Allegha nies, past hundreds of historic battle fields and places of note. You cannot conceive of a grander trip on all the American continent. If you contem plate visiting the old home in the east, you should not fail to travel by way of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. For in formation as to rates, time of trains, sleeping car accommodations, etc., apply to L. S. Allen, assistant general passen ger agent, "Rookery," Chicago, 111. 2 'Midst Pinc-CIad Hills. Hot Springs, South Dakota, is almost as famous for its beautiful, healthful situation and its pure, rest-laden air as for the remarKable properties of its thermal waters. Nestling cosily in a lovely valley and completely girt about by a circling range- of protecting hills, the place is a veritable Mecca for health and pleasure seekers. It combines, to an astonishing degree, tho most desirable features of a high class sanitarium with those of a charming pleasure resort. For tho strong are superb drives ; in teresting walks ; out-door amusements ; everything, in fact, that makes the stea dy hand still steadier and tho bright eye still brighter. For the weak are the most valuable, strengthening and re juvenating waters in America waters which are marvelously beneficial to suf ferers from rheumatism, sciatica, dys pepsia and scores of similar distressing ailments. The hotels ? Hot Springs hotels are largor, better, more comfortable than thobo of any other western resort. And its plunge bath and bath houses are complete. When you visit Hot Springs, which you're pretty sure to do some time or other, take the Burlington Route. It is the " Scenic Lino " to the Black Hills. Its service is first-class in every respect.

During former seasons one could dig a couple feet below the surface and strike water. Cellars had to be well cemented to keep the water out. This season the water in the city is at least ten feet below the surface as has been shown by digging for water works pur poses. Cellars not cemented are per fectly dry. Last season it was nearly the same. The question now arises, is it owing to the unusually dry season or has the water dropped so much below the surface for all time? It is bo great a change that attention to it is attracted. Schuyler Sun. The World's Fair. Fifty years hence, the local old-timers will still tell about what they "saw in Chicago in 1893." And what they say will be worth listening to. Time and old age and in firmity will make no difference; their memories will not hold more pleasant recollections than those connected with the Great Fair. The glorious magnificence of the Ex position buildings the crowds of strange, foreign-looking people the de lights of the trip to Chicago by the Bur lington Route. All these and a thou sand other equally pleasant topics will be referred to over and over again. Delinqnent Taxes.
