The Burlington Route" so called, Hes

runs almost immediately in the center of the
great westward movement of emigration.
Crossing Illinois and Iowa, it strikes the

The three points are the gateways into

The Northern gate is Omaha, where the
great Pacific road will take you to the land
Of gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and
perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth, which
opens upon the south half of Nebraska, south
of the Platte river, a region unsurpassed on
the continent for agriculture and grazing.
Just here are the B. & M. Railroad LANDS,
concerning which Geo. s. Harris, the land Of

The Southern gat e leads to Kansas, by con

running direct to st. Joe and Kansas City.
The trains of the Burlington run smoothly
and safely, and make all connections. It
runs the best of coaches, Pullman Palace and
Pullman dining cars, and should you take the
journey for the journeys sake alone, you will

The power of photography has recently re-
ceived a new illustration in its capacity to
represent objects which the eye has not seen
and cannot see. During the last solar eclipse
photograph was taken of the corona which
streams forth all around the sun during total
ity, and, on subsequent examination al image
of Venus was found among its rays, although
the planet was not visible to the eye Still
another and perhaps more wonderful exam
pie was recently exhibited in the experience
of an English scientist, who was making ex-
periments by passing current of electricity
through vacuum tube, the results of which
were Indicated by strong or faint touches Of
light about the poles. In one instance the
light was so feeble that it could not be seen.
and the operator doubted if the current were
passing; but, at the same time, photography
was at work, and, in half an hour, a very good
picture of what had taken place was produced

WAS HE ROBBED ?-On last Friday evening
a farmer who resides in Bristol visited our
city to sell some wool. Toward nine O'Clock
in the evening he made up his mind to travel
home, and started in cross eyed manner
from popular whisky-shop on Main street
te the place where his team ought to be, but
his vision not being as clear as it might be,
and the night being very dark. he could not
recognize one of the horses as belonging to
his span. Finally he started, muttering ven
geance on the man that stole or changed his
horse. Three times after that he returned to
the city, lost in the maze of confused "whis.
! ky straight" lager and "bitters," and re.
solved each time on a "new departure" till
eleven O'Clock saw him on his way for the
last time. During his last effort for home.
and short distance south Of Mr.. Lieber's
barn, he says he was assaulted by three young
men and robbed of eight dollars in money.
One held his horses heads, while two jumped
into the wagon behind him, jammed his hat
over his eyes and relieved him of his change.
On Saturday morning he came into town and
had three young men arrested for highway
robbery, and On Monday and Tuesday they
were examined before Justice Reed, who with
"a smile that was child-like" etc., bound
them over to take their trial at the next term
Of the Circuit Court

robbed him, or whether liquor told terrify.
