D., where he had been for several days enjoying the pleasant weather. He gives a very graphic de scription of life on the mountains, and the apparent dangers of stage-coach riding on mountain aides, at break-neck speed. Of the mountain towns Lead ia taking the lead. From now on to the end of the sea son there will be many suggestions as to the preservation of ths corn stalks. Put into large stacks, distributing a liberal amount of salt among the fodder, ia highly recommended, rather than to stand in shocks to dry out in ths field. There ia more than the usual talk of ensilage in Nebraska. Piles are not only in, and of them selves very painful and annoying, but often greatly aggravate and even cause other grave and painful affections, and should, therefore not be neglected.

Friday, in Jnstice Curtis' court, Andrew Peterson waa held to the district court on complaint of Albert Grella, charging him and Sidney Smith with assault and battery.

A fine large barn, almost new, be longing to Patrick Powers, eight miles southwest of ths city, waa burned down Tuesday morning of last week, about 6 o'clock. Our informant aaya that there waa some harness burned up with the building, bat that all the homes were got out in safety. The cause ot the fire ia not known. Ths value of the barn waa $800, with some insurance. The Union Pacific company has posted notices warning employee that drinking or frequenting saloons will be deemed good cause for dismissal from the service. The notice says that it ia a well-known fact that the use of intoxi canta impairs the efficiency of employes, and that railroad men must be of sound body and clear minds in order that their work may be done without injury to patrons. Joe Tiffany tells ua that John Huber has a good many of the qualities of a gams rooster. His old friend Peter J. Barnes of Madiaon called to see him Sunday, but could not do so because Huber bad gone off? to a picnic at 10 o'clock that morning; Ths actual truth is that he didn't get back till 7 o'clock ia ths evening. Ths picnic gait cannot bs kspt, of course, six days in ths week, bat even aa occasional day is a strong record for Mr. Huber these times. If it had not been for the days of the hot winds we would have had a fairly good crop of corn. Even as it is, the prospect now is very much better than it has seemed. When the time has approached to consider the question: Shall the crop be utilized mainly as fodder, or will it pay to treat it as sec ondary to the grain? a closer examina tion of the fields, has developed, in some instances we know of, a much better crop of grain than waa, three weeks ago, supposed possible.

Our Nebraska exshangea are about like newspapers of other states, ws sup pose, bat it seems to as that there are reported aa uaasual number of thefts of one kind aad another just at present ohinkens, hogs, cattle from pastures, growing fruit, wheat out of the bin, etc Presumably, the better way to rid tbe country of thieves is to make thievery uncomfortable, and this can best be done by catching and punishing them to the full extent of the law.
