The Business Men's Carnival, given for the benefit of the Congregational church, last Tuesday evening, drew a very good audience, considering so many were in Omaha. The entertain ment was better than would be expected in getting it up within a week's notice; indeed it was exceedingly interesting throughout The variety of trades rep resented and ingenuity of the advertis ers gave much spice to the entertain ment Miss Martyn won the prize as representing her firm or rather adver tising her firm best She carried with her a live pig and chicken.

Saunders has about 900 bushels of very fine Irish potatoes this year and is sell ing them st 40 cts. a bushel.

John Sturgeon, every time he comes back from a trip into the far west is more thoroughly imbued with the no tion that Nebraska is as near an earthly paradise as humanity is likely to see. This last trip he has been as far west as Stockton, California, and he tells some marvelous things about the wonderfully dry weather they have been subject to there the past season. One man walked two miles snd a half every day so as to be able to sleep in a tunnel st night where it would be comfortably cool, the thermometer registering 126 degrees above zero daring the day. Grapes and figs dried np. In the Merced valley, the dry weather has been truly distressing the Btreams nearly gone dry, and stock suffering for water, and nothing but oak leaves on which to live. At one place where he was buying csttle, out of a bnnch of fifteen hundred, he couldn't find a single car load of twenty-two that were strong enough to bear ship ment Mr. Sturgeon says whether in Montana or Nevada or California, he didn't feel anything like at home. In Colorado it is somewhat different, but give him Nebraska every time for enter prise, life, business, stir and progress. In California, it seemed that everybody was simply waiting for death, and he says he'd "rather be dead in Nebraska, than a live corpse in California." Amaaeiews aWbaery.

We think we can stand the dry weather better than the wet The boys are all well, but they are nearly all homesick. I am sitting where I can look out of the second story window of a custom house across the Pasig river right into the walled city, and out on the bay, can see Dewey's fleet the English fleet, all the transports, Cavite, eighteen miles a grand sight, indescribable on paper. The Fourth expedition is in the bay, but Captain Kilian or the recruits have not yet been beard of. I am planning to take a trip out into the mountains as Boon as the insurgents lay down their arms. I am more afraid of the gorillas thsn I am of the insurg entsthere are great bands of them. September 3.

The nights are cool enough to sleep under a blanket Business is rushing here now, but we.
