dreadfulIy mangled. The furniture, win.
dows and ceiling Of the room shattered
to atoms. The indications are that the
box contained bomb shell abou, six

act, suspicion rests upon man named
Conwell for sending the box to Allison.
LATER. The Allisons are both deal.s
Mr.. Allison made a statement before his
death, which. with Information obtained
to-day. will probably lead TO the de,ec-
ton of the guilty party. He said that
fellow named Council committed muir

The Sal, Lake mail reached here las,

Many of the traders with their trains
were getting along as well as could be

tina. had fallen. Almost every stream
was impossible, and some merchant and
emigrant parties were at the South
Platte and other streams, water bound.
The Pawnee Indians had been trouble.
some to few parties of emigran,s, and
made demand for provisions and robbed
them OF their animals. with little fear of
punishment from the soldiers of the fort.
Sickness resembling cholera had com.
menced in the different trains between

hands and emigrants had died.
There has been no registry KEEP, at TT.
kearney, this year, of the number of
men, women and children, who have
gone out. or the different kinds of stock.
!. is estimated that not as many emf.

are on The road; nor as many cattle and

Land Sales i'm Iowa,

I We learn from reliable source tina,
the entries of government lands in this
Stale at the Presen, time far exceed all
former precedents, even the great specu.
lalive times of 1885. The gross amount
Of land entries in this State for The las.
thirty days, has not been far from SlOO,
600 per day, and the receipts for the cur.
rent year will be more likely to exceed
than 10 be less than seven millions OF
dollars.
Should the land mania be carried to
the same excess in other States, the gov.
eminent receipts from this source alone
will be fully fifteen millions; perhaps
more.

WIam0Sed the Rancho"

Johnson s. Bennett, the contractors
on the Railroad between this pace and
Agency City, have left for parts un'
known, and swindled a number of per.
sons to considerable extent. The
Sheriff and lawyers have made descent
on their availables, and, it is believed
will secure The claims of most of their
creditors. The hands will all get their
pay, as the absquatulating contractors
had not received any pay for the work
they lad done in this county.
We regret, very much, this unmanlv
act of the contractors; bu, there is one
thing to console US. and that IS that they
could not run away with the work they
had done, that the Company does no,
lose anything by the operation, and that
the Railroad will go ahead just the same
as if no such men as Johnson e. Bennett
had ever been connected with il, A
temporary delay will be all the harm
done 10 the Company. Contractors
can't break it, especially when the run
off and leave three or four thousand dol
lars Of money, due them, in the Compa-
ny's hands.
And, now word with stock holders.
Don't he discouraged by this 1.-THE mis-.
hap; pay your stock promptly. Now,
at the start, is the time TO push it ahead.
If we have not confidence, and do not
lay our shoulders to the wheel, who will
build the road for US! Aye, that is the
question, if we are not willing TO help
ourselves, who will help US! Nobody |!
Then, come on with your stock, 1--WE
don't say "go on, boys for we will
put in our mite, too. and we will, mos,
assuredIy have Railroad at our doors.
-Wapello set out with the motto "we
know no such word as FAIL" and her
citizens will proudly carry that motto
a, the Inauguration of the B. g. NJ. r.
Railroad, and rejoice over the iron bonds
that will unite the Atlantic and the beau
tful Demoine in less than two years.

The Crops and Weather.

We have had an unusually dry season,
thus far, in the Demoine Valley, but
Notwithstanding the crops have done ex-
ceedingly well. Wheat, in this section
of country will make a greater yield
than ever before known; and the coin
will prove good crop, if We can only
have rain soon. Gardens are suffering
more than field crops, for between the
drou,h, and striped bug which infests
them in innumerable numbers. they are
being siunted and deyoured.
The health Of the whole Valley is
very good. and of our place and vicinity
the Doctors think i. is distressingly so.

II From recent developments in the

eleven of the jury were bribed, and the
twelfth deceived into acquiescence in the
verdict by The false misrepresentation
Of his cunning fellow jurors, who con-
vnced him that he had overlooked a
material poin, in the evidence. James
Crucher, the homes. juror, has published
4 card setting forth the fact Of his being
cheated into agreeing to verdict of ac-
qui,,al. Mr.. Crulcher bears high rep
u'aiion for honesty, and j. is supposed
that he is the only one who received no
money.
