Taylor has won more than a lo cal reputation as a breeder and feeder of good sheep. His herd, while not large, has been -carefully bred up and when there are a car of lambs to be Bold good prices are assured. For three suc cessive years Mr. Taylor's lambs have topped the South Omaha market. The last shipment was sold on Thursday of last week and they headed the list of high-pried lambs sold that day. They averaged 107 lbs. and sold for 88.50 per hundred. With the profit that can be derived from a good fiock of sheep it is strange that so few of our farmers keep them. MOXKOE. From the Kepublican.

From the Saad Monday last a littlssaeiteineot ensued at the Wsmaley school house south of the river when fire wae discovered in the floor under the store. It was ex tinguished without much damage and repairs were made so as to exclude dan ger from the same source in the future. Last Saturday evening near Thummel a stock car on the east bound train was set on fire by a passing engine on anoth er train. The car contained a load of fat cattle and when the fire was discov ered nothing could be done to stop it and the cattle could not be released. The train was run into Olarka where guns were procured and about 13 head were put out of their misery with bul lets. The cattle were the property of Ed Gould formerly of Follerton. Monday evening Matt J. Harry and others were waiting in the Union Pacific depot for No. 21 on which he intended going to Central City to attend a meet ing of the county board the next day. Hearing a train coming he started for the north side of the track to be in a position to board it as he supposed it was 21 and would stop. Instead it prov ed to be a fast train and he was unable to clear it entirely, being struck and hurled into the ditch. He was picked up and taken to Dr. W. O. Robinson's office when it was found that there was a slight bruise on his head and that his left arm was completely paralyzed from the elbow down. The doctor could not detect any fracture but the serious con dition of the limb waa such that he took Mr. Harry to Columbus to have the arm examined under X-rays to determine. If possible, just what the injury is. This is the first serious accident that has happen ed here since the double tracking of the road, but the arrangements for boarding trains is such that it is a wonder that there have not been a hundred. It was found upon examination that there was a fracture of one of the bones of his arm and Mr. Harry will remain at the hos pital for treatment. FULLERTON. From the Post.

The necessary steps have been taken to extend the corporate limits of Shelby so as to take in Washington Heights and also a few blocks in the south part of town. Gus Bartholemew, who has been working in Columbns for the past two months returned last week to be ready to begin work at bis trade as painter and paper hanger with the opening sea son. The Shelby Workman lodge has shown a brotherly interest in the welfare of a member by arranging for all of the mem bers of the lodge to go to the home of Fred Augustine Thursday of this week and assist in gathering corn. Mr. Augustine has been laid up all winter with a broken leg, the result of a kick from a horse. While down on the farm last week David Knerr made a discovery that may be some value in the future. While in the barn moving some hay in the mow he found a nest of eggs that had been covered up when the hay was pnt in the barn last fall and he says that the eggs were in a good state of preservation.

Tree, the English actor, bad a comical experience on his first appearance as the corpulent Falstaff. In the Inst act he had arranged that Falstaff, disconcerted by gibes and buffets of the fairies in Windsor for est, should make one herculean effort to climb the oak tree. The pegs that were to serve as supports for that tree were always conspicuous by their ab sence. On the morning before the per formance Mr. Tree was told they should positively be fixed on the tree. The morning came, but with It no pegs. Eloquence was stifled; even Invective faltered. He pointed to the tree and with the calm of despair blurted out to the defaulter, "No pegs!" Such an ejaculation, spoken more In sorrow than in anger, would, he hoped, appeal to that last remnant of con science which even the papier macho bosom of a property man might be supposed to retain. In the evening there was a dress rehearsal, but still no pegs could be seen. Mr. Tree's form quivered beneath the padding with pentup emotions, and in a torrent of passion and a voice shaken by right eous wrath he exclaimed: "Where are those pegs?" "Pegs pegs!" exclaimed the proper ty master, with exasperating affability. "Why, guv'nor, what was your words to me this morning? 'No pegs.' And there ain't none." London Tit-Bits.

Michael Sattler died Tuesday evening, exactly six weeks after she was stricken with paralysis. From the hour of the stroke she had been in a very serious condition and at no time was there any hope other recovery. The local minister's association held an executive session Monday afternoon in the wood yard of Aunty Keys. It was a fine day and the pulpiteers con cluded to trade their exegesis, and their secondlys, thirdlys and their texts for axes and water blisters. It was a thrilling sight to see the valiant hosts attack that wood pile and when they got through chips were scattered all over the second ward. Secretary McMillan was appointed as score-keeper but he lost count when he got hit in the eye with a chip and the Nonpareil is un able to furnish its readers with an accurate list of the dead and wounded.

A farmer was driving through our streets last Saturday afternoon when one of the numerous long legged dogs which roam around at will, leaped into his wagon, picked up a good sized pack age and disappeared down the alley with it. As the dog'did not open the package in the presence of those who saw him swipe it, it is not known what it contained. And probably Mr. Faimer is still wondering what became of bis package. J. E. Gossairt arrived home from Omaha Wednesday morning, where he had been looking into the matter of obtaining a site on the U. P. right of way for the location of the flouring mill, and this time he came back with the document in his pocket. Early last fall the contract for building the mill was let and negotiations begun for permis sion to locate it on the railroad right of way. The company officials commenced to unwind their red tape, and although the mill company hurried them in every manner they could, the unwinding is just completed. THERE'S NO RISK.

Queer Creatures That Roam In For ests Far From the Sea. One of the commonest and the lar gest of the Christmas Island land cmbs Is the well known robber crab, which Is found In most of the tropical islands of the Iudian and Pacific oceans. It sometimes reaches a length of two feet and may measure seven inches across the back. Its colors are of a very gaudy description, the ground color be ing a bright red, upon which there are stripes of yellow, but In some cases a purplish blue is the prevailing tint. The eyes are fixed on stalks which can be moved Independently, of one an other, and there are two pairs of feel ers, one long, the other short. The lat ter pair are continually jerked up and down. There is a pair of powerful claws, then several walking legs. Iu general appearance these animals are much more like rather stout lobsters than crabs, and one's first encounter with one of these creatures in the mid dle of a forest far from the sea is pn ductive of much astonishment ou both sides. Auotber species of land crab com mon in Christmas Island is a little bright red animal which in genera! shape Is much like the common shore crab. This variety makes burrows in the ground, and In some places the soil Is honeycombed with hundreds of holes. The crabs spend most of their time collecting dead leaves, which they carry in their claws, holding them np over their heads and drag down into their burrows. Into which they scuttle at the least alarm. Pearson's Maga zine. Iridium.

As far back as 1SH the American public were led to believe that the Atlantic had been crossed In a bal loon. On May 2S in that year the New York Sun published n detailed account of an aerial voyage, from Liv erpool to Charleston, which purported to have been accomplished by "the steering balloon Victoria In a iierlod of seventy-live hours from land to land.1 Five columns were devoted to the de scription of the journey and to a sci entific account of the balloon, of which a woodcut was given, and an air of verisimilitude was added by a list of eight passengers, one of the names mentioned being that of Harri son Ainsworth, who was then at the height of his fame. At the end of the eighteenth century balloons -were all the rage. Then, as now, enthusiasts predicted a time near at hand when war would either be an awful matter of the annihilation of armies and forts by bombs from above or would cease altogether through the abolition of frontiers and the fusion of nations. Prophecy went even fur ther. Canals and roads were to vanish and the space occupied by them to be re stored to agriculture. And ships (If any still existed) when caught In a storm would be grappled by the mast from balloons above and safely con veyed into port or even carried over mountain ranges. Chicago News. Hope.
