Munroe of New York, a large land owner in Platte county, here last week to look after his interests, says that there are many people of this state who do not know when they are well off when they think of moving to some other section of Uncle Sam's extensive domains. He declared that a certain piece of land for which $40 an acre was now being offered, was now readily wortHJ8C0,and in a very few years would bring '$100. Mr. Munroe had a number of incidents to relate of bis experience as a soldier on water for the United States during the Civil war. When one of the, company listening said that at the beginning of the Spanish-American war he had seriously mistrusted the efficiency of our navy, Mr. Munroe re marked, that the American navy was a real secret service, the discipline very strict and exacting, in fact as severe as with convicts in a penitentiary. The rules and regulations are read at stated times, and pretty nearly every penalty is death. The duties are light, but each man is expected to do his full duty, and however big a coward a man may be, he must not show it in action. Mr. Munroe says that the fighting qualities of the First Nebraska have attracted the at tention of all Eastern people to this state, and wonderfully advertised the state's good qualities, and really in creased the market price of its lands.

Friday night about 10 o'clock, at a place in the public highway some 200 yards south of the Loup wagon bridge, as Louis and Panl Blasser were going home in a one-seated, covered baggy, a tall, Blim man going south, walking, said something which they did not un derstand, stepped quickly to their horse's head, caught the lines, and fonr times ordered the men to throw up their hands. Lonis jumped out and made for the man, knocking him over, but he re covered himself quickly and, firing a shot at Lonis, got off towards the south in the darkness. It is supposed, of course, that the object of the highway man was robbery. Now see what fool ish business a criminal engages in. The robber calculates on possible murder, and so is prepared with weapons for its perpetration, bat if these men who were attacked had also been armed, it wonld, doubtless, have been the death of the robber, and all for the sake of at best getting in money 81.05, what the men happened to h ave with them. If he only could know it, the criminal is a very, an exceedingly foolish man. Feirtm tf July Vortlty. Advertising firecrackers latest and greatest things out.
