The charge grows out tit the recent wreck

f-omo 7,000 farmcrn of Nebraska becume

ogo to growing crops by hall were written
iiggrcgatlng upwards of $3,000,000. An as
sessment of XC mills was levied upon the
tncmbern, which would have yielded, If all
olkctcd, about $128,000. Tho Iossch hus

something llko $08,000 ot tho amount as

and he favored a further Investigation. After
some little talk and a reading of the statutes
by City Attorney Montgomery It was decided
to accept the bonds now on flic.
A petition was presented asking for tnc

Collins sheep district. Ho is well pieaseu
with the situation and predicts that a ma
jority of tho (locks now feeding in eastern
Colorado will bo marketed he.'e. Tho sea
son Is a llttlo late, owing to the fact that
feeders wero lato In purchasing. Prices
for Iambs and sheen rulo high nt this mar
ket and tho Fort Collins people will be
shinning here as soon as lambs are ready
for market. Generally speaking tho winter
in tho west has been mild and sheep feed
ers will come out of tho season with llttlo
loss. This fact. In connection with ttiu nign
prices prevailing here, will tend greatly to
drawing shipments to tins point.

THE BALLOON By Julieii Duprc.
The subject treats of a group of peasants In the harvest-Held. The peas
ants have spent the morning raking and stacking hay. the sun Is at Its zenith,
not a breath of air Is stlniug, you can almost hear the bees as they buzz from
flower to flower, and away off In the distance Is seen a balloon floating ma
jestically In tho dear, bluu sky. Kvldciitly the villagers ate holding their
country fair, and a bajloou ascension is ono of the features. The gioup con
sisting of the peasant and his family are In the picturesque coitutuu of the
country. Thoy have all stopped work aiiiL stand with their takes In their
hands gazing Intently at the distant bnlloon. Wonder, awo and admiration
nro blended In their expressive faces, and revealed In their attitudes. Tho
subject has been treated with thoe soft, mellow tints which Its artist knows
so well how to paint, and recalls to the mind many Just such incidents In our
childhood life. It Is Justly popular, both on account of Its artistic quality ami
deep human Interest with which It has been clothed.
History of "The Defense of Champigiiy.
Tho Franco-German war of 1S70, with all Its honors and toriiblo loss of Ilfo,
still burns In the memory of most living. For many years previous a bad feeling
existed between Franco and Prussia and both great powers had been getting their
armies In readiness and were armed to tho tooth. Distrustful and full of hate to each
other, thoy soon found themselves In a position from whl"h nolthor could retreat with
honor nnd an appeal to tho sword ns tho only alternative. Tbo Spanish crown of
fered the Prlnco of Iloheniollern, In June, 1870, nnd being accepted by hlni, caused
tho interference of Prussia, which tho French government resented, feeling that
Prussia had no right to Interfere In Spanish affairs, und ntcp by step tho quarrel
grow, nnd although Oreat Drltaln nnd other European powers tried to avert an open
rupturo and to preservo tho pcaco of Europe, tho wnr spirit was madly popular In
both Prussia and France. At last, on tho 1.1th of July, 1870, tho crisis came. The
Duke of (Jrammont told Lord Lyons, tho British ambassador, that "Tho Prussian
government had deliberately Insulted France by declaring to tho public that tho king
had affronted tho French iitnbassndor. It wuh evidently tho Intention of tho king of
I'riiFsIa to take credit with the people of Germany1 for having acted with haughti
ness and discourtesy In fact to htimllltnto France." Umperor Napoleon, ns early ns
the 8th of July had moved forward his troops, and on thn 10th of July war was de
clared by tho French government to oxlst between Franco nnd Prussia. Ail I'r.rls wan
in an uproar of delight- Tho declaration of wur made Napolei n popular with hM
subjects nnd tho Chambers, by an overwhelming ote, grunted a credit ot 50,000,00"
francs for tho nrmy and 10,000,000 for tho navy. Tho war was carried on with vas:
expenditure of force on both tides, ami wnr was brought lo u cloao after seven
months of awful bloodshed nnd almost dally battles, the details of which ere io
hi-rrowlng to nurrute. The Hermann lost 0,217 olllcers and 123, lf.3 men. The total
leases of tho French woro Incalculable. StrtiHbur; and Metis, which Oerniany had lost
In a tlmo ot weakness, wero recoiittiercd, nnd tho German L'nplro had orison anew,
and Franco bad thrown off b ndJgo and had becomo a free nation u republic. So
good camo out of evil.
Whllo reflecting upon hose "ventfal times, M. Jean Hatlstn Kdotmril Dctallle, tho
great und famous French palntor, wns Inspired with tho Idea of painting his world
