Some of these are now on exhibition in the city. Arthur Pohl, although a tall young man with long arms couldn't reach to the ear. Henry Zinnecker has taken a soap ahot representing Rudy Miller etanding oa a atep-ladder and unable, by hie utmost stretching, to touch the first Abraham Scott adds several partic ulars to the report in regard to the lightning that struck Charles Morse's farm house Friday. Mrs. Frank Scott was sitting by a window at the time, and was so shocked by the lightning that she was unconscious, she doesn't know for how long, but when she came to consciousness the room waa filled with smoke and there was a sulphurous smell. Grabbing the babe, who waa unhurt, she rushed from the building and found that the smoke waa from a shed attached to the house. The light ning had come down a corner of the house, tearing the post, and setting fire to a pair of pants hanging ap in the abed. The following is taken from the Platte Center Signal: fJohn A. Kehoe, who haa been suffering for the past three weeka from a blood cancer on the nook, was taken suddenly worse hut Monday and Dr. Hansen of this place, Dr. Mar tyn of Columbus and Dr. Bear of Nor folk were called and on Tuesday held a consultation over the patient After making n careful diagnosis of the case, they found that Mr. Kehoe's condition was more serious than any one anticipa ted, and fears were entertained that be would not recover if the cancer should cause one of the veins in the neck to burst, which it is not unlikely will hap pen. The beat of care and attention is boing given him, bnt he is sinking very rapidly and it is feared that the end ia not far off, but yet it is hoped that a' change for the better may come." Fred Stevens got hie team of horses and outfit without very much trouble, but no little expense, costing him about as much as they were worth. He had had a notion that all old men were hon est, and young ones might be so, but he has now a different opinion. The old man that hired his rig seemed sensible and fair-minded bnt it waa only seeming. The buggy pole was found at Exeter, where he had traded it for shafts, saying that one of the horses was giving oat, and he was about through with hie Ne braska business anyway. He had a large bundle of land abstracts, and claimed that he had been placing loans on Nebraska lands and was looking after hie interests. The harness waa found at Friendville, aad the two horses and buggy at Fairmont, where they had been sold for $50. The man who threw away the $50 waa only sorry that he couldnt interview the wandering traveler for a short season. He thought he could make it interesting for him. .

Ton that have Nebraska land woald do well to hold it nnleas you can get ita full value in n sale. The turn seems to have come again for the great body of Nebraska soil, so far as moisture is con cerned, and it looks now as though we are to have a succession of good years for crops. Aside from the riches in the upper soil, there seems to be a prospect, here and there, for great riches in the underlying rock. It will be remembered by Jouknai. readers that early in the summer, in the bottom of a deep well near Calhoun, gold in paying quantities wss found. The fact waa undoubted, as proved by several assays. Nebraska people generally have been wondering why the find was not worked, bnt the following, from last - Sunday's Bee, throws light on that: "When it was announced that there was a show of gold some enterprising Erty secured options on about all the id in that part of the state. The op tions covered a period of six. months and provided that the owners of the land would part with their holdings at any time within that limit at the rate of $75 per acre. The party who eecured the options did not pay down any money and the farmers soon came to the con clusion that they had signed a jaghan dle agreement Under those conditions the farmers would not give any assist an oe in patting down a shaft, as some one else would reap all the reward of "any discoveries that might be made. The, man who had put down the original well would not sell though it was said that be was offered aa mach aa $20,000 for twenty acres. Without money the work came to a standstill The options on their land will expire in October and the farmers aay that they will then organize a company and put down prospecting shafts which wfll Battle for all time the question aa to whether gold bearing rock exists in.

T. Bohman is having n house built at the Chicago Lumber yard which is a novelty in away. It is to be sixteen feet long, eight feet wide and six feet high and divided into two rooms, one room to be used for sleeping and the other for kitchen and dining room. The sleeping room will be furnished with cot beds snd other furniture and the kitch en, besides a stove and other utensils, will be supplied with two ice boxes, one for victuals and the other for cold tea, etc. Windows and doors with screens will admit light and air and exclude mosquitoes, flies and other "animals." When completed this structure will be mounted on trucks and moved to Mr. Bohman'a ranch on the banks of the Platte, south of Columbus, and he and his family and possibly some friends will occupy it next week. It will be a sort of roughing it although somewhat of an improvement on living in a tent Our old friend and editor neighbor A. E. Cady, is running for congress in the district west of us, and is, of course, making a splendid campaign. The Sid ney Telegraph closing an account of his speech there, says: "Mr. Cady made a great many telling arguments, in fact his speech was full of them from beginning to end, but lim ited space at this time forbids more ex tended reference to them. He concluded with a story which is presupposed to take place on the morning after election. John rushes into the boose and takes down hie dinner pail from the nail where it haa been banging for the last three years; he tells Mary that McKinley is elected and that he starts to work in the morning. Mary's giaaiacespeaKsworas which her mouth cannot utter, but she finally says: 'John, yon remember the motto,' -The Lord Will rrovide,' "waicb mother gave us and which I turned to the wall after the factory shut down; I never told you why I turned it to the wall, bnt I thought it was taking too much of the Lord to provide under this democratic administration.'

The Times-Herald of Chicago, on August 4th, contained tha following: Armour A Co. will give a dollar for a half dollar. A round; white, glistening coin, containing eleven grains more of pure silver than the American dollar, may be had for one of Uncle Sam's 50 cent pieces. Fifty cents worth of juicy beef or pork and one of these heavy dollars for any kind of American money, be it gold or paper. If you can't pass the coin you get with your meat, bring it back and get your good money. These are the liberal offers made by Armour k Co. to their 5.000 Chicago employes, to the end that the latter may have a practical illustration of a system of free coinage in this oountry at a ratio of 16 to 1. The offer went into effect yesterday morning. There was ao ohaaoe to lose on the part of the wage-earners and cur iosity seekers, and an opportunity for an object lesson in finance made trade brisk. The firm was something out in the transaction. The heavy dollars sold were from the Mexican mints, and while they cost only 50 cents in that country, the expresssge amounted to nearly 5 cents on every coin shipped to Chioago, The company, however, was willing to stand the loss, believing that every coin that went out would be an inanimate teacher against the free silver heresy and would, in its troublous travels, work the salvation of the wage-earner. With every Mexican dollar that sold for 50 cents, was given n circular that needed neither foot notes or explana tion. It is a tale told simply in leas than 200 words, pointing out what the condition of the wage-earner will be if silver monometahem prevails. The Mexican dollar and the circular go hand in hand, for the reason that if the cir cular is not sufficient to reveal the perils attached to free silver in the United States the worhingman may be con vinced by spending his Mexican coin and finding out how far it wfll go toward baying the baby clothes or filling up the larder. The circular leaves theories for the politiciana and astute financiers, and tells a few plain facta which the posses sor of tha Mexican dollar found oat for hlxeaelf. These are the facta pointed oat: The Mexican silver dollar bays only one-half aa much aa the American afl- dollar. Tha Amerioaa silver dollar, contain ing lata silver, bays ia this ooaatry twice as mach at a Mexican dollar.

Times belongs the credit of instituting n comparison of the imports and exports of gold dur ing democratic and republican adminis trations. During the fifteen years between and inclusive of 1878 and 1892, all but four of ... . ... .. which were years of republican admin istrationand during the four years of Cleveland's first presidency congress' waa republican, so that repabucan pol ioy prevailed the imports of gold, were greater than the exports by $101,56810. That is to say. the United States re ceived this vest sum of gold from for eign countries. But, taking the statistical abstract of the United Statee for 1896 as author ity, and it is a report published by a democratic secretary of the treasury, we find that during the seooad term of Mr. Cleveland, during the greater part of which the democrata had control of the legislative and executive functions, yi the exports of gold, in exi of imports, have stood thus: AOsWA OVI a avOWa a a a a a aaaaaaaa i 1896 .t87jsea,en . 4jsaa.9ai . m.es&.sui . niii.awi The returns for 1896 cover only eleven months, that ia to say, from June 30, 1896, to May, 1896. Thus there has been a net loss of $197,531,106 in gold during three years and eleven months of democratic rule. During fifteen years of protective tar iffs administered by republicans the United States were made richer by $101, 568,310 of foreign gold left in this coun try after its current indebtedness of gold was paid to foreign countries. Dur ing lees than four years of democratic tariff administered by democrats for eign countries were enriched by $197, 531,108 of United Statee gold paid by the United States to them sf ter ell for eign current indebtedness of gold waa paid to the United States. That is to say, in lees than four years the democrata dissipated the net gain of $101,56cV310 won by the republicans in fifteen years, and in addition thereto sent $95,962,796 of American- gold abroad. This shows that protection to Amer ican industries protects that American "gold reserve" or which we hear ao much nowadays. Under protection we sell more than we buy, and are paid for it in gold. Under democratic tariffs we buy more than we sell, and have to pay for it in gold; for Europe will not accept silver. Hence it is plain that "free coinage at 16 to 1," or at any other ratio, cannot help us greatly unless it be accompanied by protection. For our silver will not be accepted by Europe, and specially not by Great Britain, and without pro tection we are and must be dependent on Great Britain. Gaw. Dak Sicxlxs of New York, one of the old soldiers who has aiwaya been a democrat, declares his intention of voting for McKinley. Gen. Sickles says that he and hie comrades were aot ac customed to nee blank cartridges when in the presence of an enemy; therefore he does not propose to throw away his vote on n third candidate. Nor were they in the habit of withholding their fire when assailed; therefore he doesn't mean to stsy at home and not vote at all. "I shall give a patriotic vote for my comrade, Major McKinley," he de clares, "believing that in so doing I am repeating what I did in 64 when aa a war democrat, I voted for Lincoln and the Union." General Sickles is only one of many thousande of loyal. and sensible democrata who take thia view of the situation. (Ex.
