Reckless Handling of a Re volver , and the Result. afternoon one of the cooks at a hotel on Dodge street was endeavoring to shoot tome rats which had been caught , using a em-ill re volver for that purpose. FOE some rcaion one of'tho cartridges failed to explode , although ho snapped the trigger seviral times , when one of his follow workmen standing by exclaim- e-1 : "You cin'tslicot anything ! Shoot me ! " Turning the revolver on him , the cook pulled the trigger once more , and this time it did not miss fire , fcr the bullet passed into his neck , nar rowly missing the windpipe. The bullet was a very small one , consequently the injury was but el'ght. The wounded man was put to bed , and at last accounts was doing well. The party who fired the shot b in much grief at the result of his reck- letsness , and says that he had no idea the cartridge would explode , a3 ho thought it was too wet to do so. Ho will probably bo more careful how ho handles revolvers in the future. The Cream Soda Water at STOUE.

Marvellous Meteoric Move ments. [ NOTE. This is not an advertise ment of J. B. French & Co , the Re liable Grccsrs , who sell goods for caeh , twenty-five per cent below other dealers terms invariably in advance , but an actual occurrence as reported to us by an attache of Cole's circus. ] On Saturday evening about 9:45 o'clock , immediately following the aeriil byciclo performance in the cir cus , a remarkable meteoric phenomena was noliceabld in the heavens to the westward of Capitol Hill. It was grand and awful ; the whole heavens appeared as if illuminated with syk- . rockcts. There was not a space in the firmament equal in extent to three diameters of the moon which was not filled with burning stars. They were of different siz'f , . and left luminous traces of from five to ten degress in , length. The pppearanie of these traces continued seven or eight sec onds. Many of the stars had a dis tinct nucleus as largo as the apparent disk of Jupiter. Their light was white , and eighteen of them seemed to burst aiat at by explosion. It is a circumstance atw worthy of particular notice that as each of the eighteeen exploded it as sumed the for.n of a letter distinctly outlined , which the observer noted down ' in a pocket memorandum book. I They were as follows : USEHAVENSBESTFLOUR. We have attempted , unsuccessfully to1 form thcao letters into words.

NELSON , Nuckolls Co. , Neb. , June 12. - Nuckolls county has not suffered 12ye very much from the extreme dry yewi weather prevalent this aeason. For a time it was thought the wheat would . fail , but the subsequent rains make it i appear nearly as well as at this time afot other years , and it h not likely to fall far below the average. An abund ance of corn has been planted and is at.dc . doing splendid. The amount of culti , vated land in the county hai nearly tidc doubled during the past year , and in riding across the country from Edgar to Nelson to-day , more than twenty i teams were seen within one-half mile of the road , breaking more prairie that will ba tilled next year. thflc Nelson is the county seat and flourishing little town. The location | Is on Elk creek , a tributary to the Little Blue from the south side. It isri but 13 miles to the Republican river at Superior , and the land on every side is rich and rolling , and is rapidly developing and improving. An extension of the C. B. railroad fromScfndia through Spring valley , rtachin ? northwest , la expected to reach this place this se ison. It is ru mored that the engineers are at work north of Spring valley to-day. Before the eastern extension of theR. V. ! road Edgar was the nearest railroad j point , but now it is Superior. It can be _ reached from either of these points ( over an excellent line of hacks run by Joel Halo , requiring two hours ride from Superior and three from Edgar. The finest building in the town , or at least the most attractive , is the county jail , a brick structure. It may bo that it pays to build a fine jail , for wo have never found anybody incarcerated in it at the time of this or any previous visit. Ono of the leading business firms of the place is that of D. W. Montgom ery & Co. , law , loan and collection agency. The Folmer Bros , one of whom was the county treasurer , con stitute the company. A large and we'l asscr'ed ' stock of stable ' merchandise is kept m the stordB ; nsteal & Knapp. Mr. Bon- steal h a representative farmer , and lives a few miles from town. Mr. Knapp , a young min of good busi ness habits , superintends the store. R. M. Gourley , recently appointed postmaster , is a staunch republican. His predecessor was a democrat , and held the position five years. The Nelson house , kept by Levi Heltzon , is the only hotel in town , and is very creditably kept. Mr. Fickes , the oid partner of Mr. Helt- zen , is now engaged in the hardware trade. There are three other stores , ono of which ia a drug atore. Two smithies , " two physicians , an ample supply of attorneys and a butcher constitute the remaining portion of the business ele ment. The Nuckolls County Herald , con ducted by Mr. Ellis , is the loc < > l paper and the oldest in the county.
