The U. S. land commissioner baa re
ceutiy decided that a doable Loose built
ou the dividing Hue between homesteads,
is a residence within the meaning of the
hoinevtead law.
Countless millions of grasshoppers are
doing up their work in the northwestern
counties of Iowa, and farmers hereabouts
ay that the grasshoppers are working
ou the corn crop in this count'.
Hon. A. J. Arnold has become quite
enthusiastic over his experiment in
stocking a certain pond hereabouts with
black bass, and now believes if he can
place himself in the right pecuniary
shape to make a fish pond on his own
land, he will stock it, and raiae his own
aalmou. bass and trout. Won't that be
nice? Second the motion.
The present season, until the hot and
dry weather set in about three weeks
since, never presented a fairer prospect
in Nebraska for crops, but the past three
wewks of unexampled extreme hot weath
er is telling on all crops not fully matur
ed. A great deal of the early sown
wheat in Platte county, we have reason
to believe, will not suffer materially
from the drouth, and will yield nearly an
average crop.

For the second time within a year the
massive dam which was being construct
ed by C. A. Stitzer at Ericson was des
troyed last week. Last summer, while
the dam was nearing completion, it gave
way before a rush of water occasioned
by a cloudburst which came in the night
and did its destructive work before the
Hood-gates could be opened. Undis
mayed, Mr. Stitzer resolved to try again.
He was assured by expert engineers that
the plan was feasible and that a dam
could be built that would be impregnable
to any flood by a special adjustment of
flood-gates. Money for the enterprise
was raised by selling lots for summer
cottages on the shores of the lake, and it
seemed that his plan for making Ericson
a popular fishing and hunting resort
would bear fruit. It was certain that
sportsmen from all over the state would
be attracted and it seemed that Nebraska
would have one good live summer resort.
But the flood which swept down the
valley last week annihilated Mr. Stitzer's
plans and hopes, the destruction being
as complete as in the former cose.
Paul, the 14-year-old eon of Mr. aud
Mrs. Charles Leuke, living on the Nich

in the small lake on the Babcock place.
There was a party or young people at
the latter place and Paul started to wade
down into the pond, which was about
fifty feet long and twenty feet wide, and
fourteen feet deep in Ihe center. He had
gone but a little ways when he slipped
and went in over his head. The other
members of the crowd attempted to
rescue him, and his brother finally man
aged to get hold of him, but was unable
to retain his grip and Miss Elsie Jaeggi,
who had bold of the brother's band,
pulled him out after be had gone under.
The funeral was held Wednesday at 10
a. m. from the house, and from the Ger
man Lutheran church on Shell Creek at
12 o'clock. Rev. GrauanLorat conducting
the services and burial was in the church
cemetery.
Col. Frank Simme tells a graphic story
of bis experience with a mad bull while
out fishing one day last week, just south
of the city. It seems that the animal
considered the Colonel as a trespasser on
his domain, and proceeded to inform him
with hair-raising bellowing, pawiug up
the earth, and other "scrappy" signs,
that he had better move ob. The
Colonel made a bluff at calling the argu
ment with what fighting implements
were handy, but when the animal charg
ed downtbe bank with blood in his eye,
the Colonel gave an exhibition of a quick
get-away that astonished the whole
herd of cattle.

The county board is in session this
week end one of the important ques
tions they have up -before them is the
proposition! to establish a new precinct
of the portions of Monroe and Lost
Creek townships which were added to
them on account of being on the
north side of the Loup river, which is
includes everything south? of town
Seventeen in those precincts. The pe
tition which is signed by 135 of the tax
payers in the district affected, asks that
two polling places be established in the
newly created township. Supervisor
Pollard is presenting the matter to the
board and is favorable toward it. It is
proposed to name the new precinct O. o
nee, as the county clerk Jhas been re
quested to by resolution, to ascertain
from the state auditor whether there is
another township by that name in the
state; and it will probably be added to
distriot 4. as the larger number of the
present residents of the proposed town
ship now live in thai district.
