Nebraska can be depended on for a corn crop of some kind, every year. Nature provides for that grain in this state in wonderful ways.

That Chicago is fast taking its place as a theatrical centre equal to New York is shown by the list of successful plays produced there this last spring.

The neat of government of the state is now located, temporarily, at Cheyenne and there are many reasons why the change would be to the advantage of the majority of peo ple in tbe state. Mr. aad Mrs. Henry who are aoqnainted here, reside near Mrs. Henry was formerly Miss Joe Flynn, JosRosche and Sherman Gilmore were before Justice Wagner Friday charged with burglary. Thirty five chickens aad ten geese were found missing from the coops of John Fulmer, a Union Pacific employe who issidtc in the west part of town, and the three men above mentioned are charged with hav ing taken the fowls on tbe night of Sep tember 12. A continuance of the case was taken to tbe 23d. In Seward the city council are put ting in many street crossings, the mate rial used being brick, and the Blade of that place is of the opinion that they are a decided improvement over the old board crossings and many think that they will prove more satisfactory than concrete. Columbus is also adding val uable improvements in that line and the cement work done by Jacob Giur and bis able helpers, we think, could not possibly be improved upon for looks and durability. The Monroe Looking Glass says that Mrs. John Keeler was in town Monday arranging to have Wm. Webster investi gate the matter of the estate that comes to her through property willed to her father, Mr. Bacon, by Senator Wright of New York.

Mr. Hoffman will leave next Mon day for Sparta, Wisconsin, his old home, where he has made arrangements to purchase the butcher shop of his brother.

Last Saturday Lee Bennett was brought before Justice Wagner on com plaint of Samuel Kavich. charging him with indecent exposure of person on September 11th. He was given a con tinuance until next Saturday. About 3 o'clock Monday, on complaint of the same party. Bennett was brought before Judge O'Brien to answer to a similar charge, the deed committed on Septem ber 4th. Bennett made the excuse that he wished to secure an attorney and was allowed to leave the court and has not yet put in an appearance. A prominent citizen who says be don't want to be classed as a "kicker or "knocker,' wonld have us call attention of railroad men to the fact that nearly every day the crossings of the city are blocked with trains away beyond the time limit, much to the discomfort and inconvenience of the public He says he held his watch on a train recently and it was fifty-five minutes before waiting women and children were able to move along. As Tbe Jouexai. understands the city ordinance the police officers of the city after the time limit of ten min utes, should see to it that the main traveled street crossings are cleared of trains without having to wait for com plaints to be made by citizens. Theatre goers of the last generation will remember Thos. W. Keene's thrill ing portrayal of tbe role of a drunkard is an adaptation from the French play of "L'Aasamoir, entitled "Dnnk. The nearest approach to such a character is a master creation of the dramatists is to be found in Lincoln J. Carter's "Her Only Sin" which visits North opera house. Tuesday. Sept. 29. Though this character is only is the first act of the play, its sinister influence remains to govern events of later development. It is not interjected to preach a sermon, or, to call forth canting phrases from other characters of the play. It is given for what it is worth, a realistic portrayal from real life. --Telegraphic news from New York dated September 15, intending to mis lead the public in regard to the Colum bus aad Fremont power canal, reads as follows: "It was stated on Wall street that a eradicate of capita Hste was being orgaaixed for the paraoaeof financing a project for building and developing a mammoth electric power plant on the Platte river near Fremont that another route to the Platte river for the pro posed canal to run near Columbus had yed, but was not thought at this time.
