We notice that bnck sidewalks are becoming quite fashionable here and there in .Nebraska. Where the bricks are hard-burned, they do well, of course, but in no case are they so good as ce ment, well laid by one who understands the business. It is reported that Monday night Fullerton had another heavy rain of five inches in 30 minutes. Five miles north of Humphrey there seemed to have been a cloud burst, the U. P. track being washed out just after the passen ger train passed. Joseph Flynn went to Albion Mon day to look after a popositiou to furnish 600 tons of sand for use at the new court house to be erected by Boone county. This is becoming quite a business Madison and Humphrey, too, having called upon our dealers for gritty, clean cut sand.

Last Thursday night a large barn belonging to Mr. Lasuners, who lives nine miles northwest of Monroe, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, together with most of the con tents consisting of hay. grain, machin ery, etc The stock in the barn was saved. We are informed he had some insurance. Little Edith Boyd is only three years old and had, Sunday morning, a marvelous escape from death. A win dow screen in an upper story gave way. and she fell out head foremost to the ground, a distance of eleven feet. She was dazed for a little while and com plained of a slight pain in the back, but there was nothing serious. J. E. Sallachs residence a mile from Monroe had a close call by fire one day last week. Dr. Humphreys looked at it with his glass and noticed that the roof was on fire sear the chiasaer. The alarm was given and a force turned out, form ing a water line to the river and soon getting advantage of the fire. Nobody was at home. Comparatively little dam age was done. The semi-annual tin an rial statement of the treasurer of Nance county, pub lished by the official papers, shows a bonded indebtedness of $17,000, and a total indebtedness of Szbo7s.4i I he county has cash on deposit $2?,.13.79. We shall give from time to time, sum maries of our neighbor counties' affairs as published, so that Jgttbxai. readers can compare them with Platte county's standing. At 11 o'clock Saturday night A. D. Warners grain elevator at St. Edward, was discovered to be on fire. It was completely burned, with several thous and bushels of grain; also the coal sheds near by. He puts his loss at $12,000; insurance 3,500. The bottom of the mam elevator was all afire when help arrived, but there was none at all near the enjrine, and there is no due to the origin of the fire. The commencement exercises of the St. Francis Academy were held Monday afternoon in the hall of the school, from 2 to 6 o'clock, a very large crowd being present. The graduates were Misses Bose McEivett, Mamie English and H. .Merle. A lengtny program ot music essays, etc were interesting through out. A "drama -The Fatal Lottery, was part of the prosrram. Miss English received first prize for best standing in music, and Miss Lulu Sciroeder second. Mr. Irey of Omaha, ex-county treas urer of Douglas county, gave us a call Thursday in company with his friend, Mr. Beerbower of this dty, who has known him since boyhood. Mr. Irey dosed his second term as county treas urer in January, his books balancing exactly, and in every way he seems to have made a first-class official. This is one of the strongest points in his can vass f cr state treasurer. Another is that he seems to be free from entangling al liances of all sorts. The Fifth annual convention of the Grand Island district Epworth League is to be held in this city beginning this (Wednesday) afternoon, at 230, and dosing Friday forenoon at 11:15. You are requested to attend, and bring your copy of the -Pentecostal Hymns." The address Wednesday evening will be by Dr. B. L. Paine, Lincoln: Thursday evening by Hon. G. W. Berge, Lincoln, lecture by Bev. F. M. Sisson, D. D., Fremont. It is expected that all the sessions of the convention will be very interesting. A correspondent from Cedar Rapids writes the following to the Albion News: -The most pleasant sound that has for a long time been heard by our people was that of the train, the first since the flood, last Monday evening. After being without railway service for ten days, the trains began running regularly last Tuesday morning. Perhaps some may talk of the 'good old days' before the ad vent of railroads and other modern privileges, but times like we have had for the past few days show how ex tremely difficult it is to get along with out them. A grocery famine was al ready beginning to be felt in our town as one of the results.' Bains have been frequent, and, whether light or heavy, they have been very acceptable to most localities. Here and there there has been some damage by wind and hail. The storm of Friday night was accompanied by hail at Otto Bolt's and he tells us that on 160 acres of wheat, oats and rye there will prob ably not be harvested more than five bushels to the acre, a loss, he reckons, of about $1,000. The corn, while beaten considerably, wilL he think", come out all right. The hailstcnes were about the size of hickory nuts, and they rained down for an hour. About a mile and a half south of his place there was no hail at alL lhe wma cnangea its course l several times during the storm. The impromptu ratification Friday night was a jubilant, noisy demonstra tion of delight on the part of the re publicans, and witnessed by a goodly number of dtzzens in general- A large bonfire in Meridian square lit up the neighborhood, and fire-works discharged from the top of a box car, made the square quite lively for a while. The most noisy part of the demonstration, however, was the S-of Y. drum corps, supplemented by a motley procession with little tin horns and big tin horns and one mammoth tin horn that was sure to be heard. C J. Garlow in a brief speech set forth the salient fea tures of the campaign, the good quali ties of McKxsr-EX to bring the country back to prosperity after four years of disaster; of public and private rain: of disappointment and wreckage under a deasocratic administration, the like of which no mas dressed possible.

Fitzpatrics, aged 20 years. Miss Jennie was a young lady of cul ture and refinement, a favorite among all her acquaintances, being possessed of a cheery disposition and bright men tal faculties. She was born in Colum bus and has lived here all her life, re ceiving her education in the St. Francis academy. .Aitnougn sue nad been an invalid for several months, her death was a shock to her relatives and friends as through her patient suffering none could fully realize her critical state. She was a member of the Sodality society of the Catholic charch and the Cecilian music dub. The funeral will take place from the Catholic church Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, the service to be in high mass. The sor rowing family will have the sympathy of all hearts in their time of grief. Jojtes Mrs. Murtella Jones, wife of C C. Jones, died at the Sisters hospital Thursday morning, after an illness last ing since February, from complicated troubles, at the age of 26 years. Miss Murtella Novel was married eight years ago to Mr. Jones, and has been to him a devoted wife.

The grief stricken parents have the sympa thy of all their friends who know the loss of a dear one. The BseSeta. Ed. Jotrasxi.: I wish to say a word or two in regard to the public highway leading into Columbus from the south. There seems to be a lack of ability on the part of those under whose control this matter is placed. The road from the dty of Columbus as far south as the Platte river bridge is a disgrace to any dvilized community. The amount of travel on that road is immense and will not fall short of one hundred wagons per day. It is not unusual to count fifteen or twenty wagon loads of hogs in a train, with teams tugging and sweating in sand 6 to 8 inches deep, hauling to Co lumbus to market. That road is an eye sore to the traveler, and to the com munity; it is misery to the wheelman; it causes good people to feel like swear ing; it makes the pleasure seeker to have a disappointed expression on his countenance. The people of the country are ai-xioua to do business with the business men of Columbus and there should be a move made to put this road is condition, so that the people of Butler, Polk and the sooth aide of Platte county can ex change com modi ties without causing their tessis to exert every musde to the extent of exhaastios. I hope that the great and good men who are sow running the wheels of gov ernment is this locality will have their attention attracted to this much needed act of humanity. Gbosge E.

The plain common people of the re publican party have nominated Wn iiot McKtjtlxt for president, and the plain common people of the country will see that he is elected to that highest place in their gift Four years ago the -plain common people of this country were deceived into believing that the tariff for protec tion should be -reformed;" in believing that this country could be far more prosperous than it had been under re publican administration, if it would take a step toward absolute free trade; they were led to believe that with this stride. "the great markets of the world would become ours almost for the asking, and that our merchant marine would first feel the strong pulse of the world's com mercial life blood, which would soon be sent bounding to every remote channel of our industrial life. Everybody knows better now. No body is guessing now, and McKisixt's nomination is the glad prelude to a dif ferent (very different), mode of admin istration from what we have all grown sick of the past three years. The people are for McKetlet because Protection has been by its enemies named MrKrvuEnsu and they want a good deal of McKurLETtsir just now they need it and need it bad in all their business. Instead of issuing interest-bearing bonds in times of peace, and disposing of them on the quiet to selfish money syndicates for hundreds of thousands of dollars less than they would have brought in the open market of the open market of the American people, the re publican policy will be to provide, as of old, a revenue that will meet all expen ses and occasionally lift a portion of the public debt. The people have wakened up out of the nightmare and will not only get out of the Slough of Despond but they will fill the slough up with good solid earth and stop monkeying with the tariff. When that is done and done effectu ally, they will turn their full attention toother important matters, and settle them on the basis of common justice, common sense and the best interests of all the people.

Ada Hinkle of Oak Creek township, Bctler county, was shot by a man who wore a mask over the upper part of the face. The deed was done shortly after 9 o'clock last Wednesday morning, the ball en tering just below the shoulder blade and coming out slightly below the left nipple, the man having shot her as she started to call her husband. It was nearly an hour before her husband hap pened to come to the house Ths fact that the public library issued the past year 7,229 books, nearly 3,000 more than the previous, shows that great interest is being taken by the people is. the good reading to be secured at the library. Besides these books there was issued in the literature or magazine department 957 periodicals. Although only $173L34 was received from the tax levy of one mill, yet there was added to the library 353 new books, the number of volumes now in the library being 23)L There is cash on hand now of S9L45. The people in the country are beginning to take much interest in the library, and it is only a question of time when the num ber of book3 issued yearly will get up to an enormous number. The benefit de rived, especially by the young people, can hardly be estimated. It interests them in something that will be in future years of vast benefit to them. Bellwood Gazette: As M. E. AlEss was on his way to Carl Jacobs beet field on Saturday last his team of bronchos shied at something on the road, when his daughter, Miss Minnie and two sons.
