On Wednesday noon the single ard saw
mill of Mr.. A. j. Freeman, at West Sidney,
was burned to the ground. The mill had been
running regularly every day, and as it was
the only saw mill of any account in town,
turned out great amount Of lumber, ard was
great accommodation to the farmers in that
vicinity. The mill was valued at S3500;
insured for $500. The fire was discovered
shortly after the workmen left the mill for
dinner, and is supposed TO have originated
from friction Of machinery. This will be a
great loss to the citizens of Sidney and vi
cinity. The mill had plenty OF water-power,
enabling the proprietor to run it the year
round.

Peck's Experience with Coal Stove.

NM E never had coal stove about the
w house until last Saturday; have
always burned pine slabs and pieces of our
neighbours fence. They burn well, too,
but the fence got all burned up, and the
neighbor said he wouldn't build a new one,
so we went down to Jones's and got coal
stove. 1t is called the Radiant Home,''
and any man who says we didn't have a
radiant home at our house for about four
hours last Saturday night, is Liberal
Republican and a villain.
You see we didn't know anything about
coal stoves. We filed the Radiant Home
about half full of pine fence, and when the
stuff had got well to going we filed the
artesian well on top with COAL 1t simmer
ed and sputtered about five or ten minutes,
and all went out, we put on an overcoat
and pair of buckskin mittens, and "went
out" to supper We remarked, in the
course of the frugal meal, that Jones was
"fraud" for recommending such a con-
founded refrigerator to a man to get warm
by. After supper we took piece Of ice
and rubbed our hands warm, and went in
where the stove was, resolved to make her
draw and burn if it took all the pine fence
in the First ward
Our better half threw quilt over her,
and shiveringly remarked that she never
knew what real comfort was until she got
coal stove. Stung by the sarcasm in her
remark, we turned every dingus in the
stove that was movable, or looked like it
had anything to do with the draught, and
pretty soon the Radiant Home began to
heave up heat 1t was not long before she
suffered like the new Silsby steamer.
Talk about your heat In ten minutes
that room was as much worse than Turk
ish bath as Hades is hotter than Liverman's
ice-house. The perspiration fairly fried
out of a tin water cooler in the next room.
We opened the doors, and the snow
began to melt as farup Vine street as Hans
combe's house, and people all around the
neighborhood put on linen clothes. And
we couldn't stop the confounded thing. We
forgot what Jones told us about the damp
ers, and she just kept bling. The only
thing we could do was to go to bed, and
leave the thing to burn the house if it
wanted to. We stood off with pole, and
turned the damper every way, and at every
turn she just sent out heat enough to roast
an OK.
We went to bed supposing that the coal
would eventually burn out, but about 10
o'clock the whole family had to get up and
sit on the fence. Finally man came along
who had been brought up among coal
stoves, and he put wet blanket over him,
ana went to the stove and turned the proper
dingus, and she cooled of, and since that
time has been just as comfortable as possi-
BILE. If you buy coal stove you want to
learn how to engineer it, or you may get
roasted. H3t, = Is7IT' %

A Hero Of the Southwest.

Horace p. Jones is notable character in
the Southwest He is, at present official in
terpreter at Fort Sill. Through him the
officers of the Government at that post hold
intercourse with the wild tribes of the
plains. Perhaps no man living has more
thorough knowledge Of the language Of the
Comanches than is possessed by Mr.. Jones.
Mr.. Jones was present at the massacre at
Old Fort Cobb, in 1851, where he made a
very narrow escape from sharing the fate of
many others who bled on that OCCASION
During these troublous times Mr.. Jones
passed through some terrible experiences.
On one occasion he found himself suddenly
surrounded by band of some twenty-f five
savages, with leyelled rifles, aimed directly
at him. The night was dark and gloomy.
There was but an instant for thought, and
that instant was improved by the imperiiled
hero to extricate himself from his perilous
position. Quick as thought, he dropped
upon the grass among the brushwood, and
propelled himself serpent-like under the
bushes. This action for moment dIscon-
certed his would-be murderers, and taking
advantage Of the confusion, he managed to
crawl under the brush until the opportuni-
ty to rise, presented itself, when, suddenly
springing to his feet with the swiftness Of
an alarmed deer, he fed, and succeeded in
eiuding pursuit, On another occasion he
was pursued by four well-armed Indians
The chances of escape seemed small, but
Jones was never known to lose his presence
OF mind in the face Of danger. Taking his
chances, he received a round from his pur-
sners without aarm, and then shot one,
reached rayine slxirted by timber, and
soon the only live Indian Of the party was
rapidly on his way back to disclose to the
band to which he belonged TO the fate of
his three comrades.

THE wElsHxAN's GOAT.

A thoughtless Weshman, with thirsty throat
so goes the tale-possessed a favorte goat
Who folow'd him, when once to play the sot
He sought the tap-room and the foamy pot.
He gave her drink, when, by che cheerful blaze
Strangely forgetting all her sober ways.
She reel'd about and rold upon the floor
AS never goat had roll'd about before.
The giggllng topers so enjoyed the sight
That they would have the fun another night.
The Welshman took her, but the goat alas /
The portal of the pothouse would not pass.
Her master uselessly tried every mode,
Though pats and punches freely were bestow'd
The landlord strove, and did his best, they say
But all in vain, for Nanny won the day;
Cufiing and coaxlng both alike she bore,
Nor could they get her through the pothouse door
The wondering welshman, now no longer blind
Ponder'd the thing moment in his mind,
Then prudently adopted, in the end,
The wise example Of his shaggy friend,
Forsook the pothouse, and reform'd his plan.
And from that hour became a sober man.
Ye drunkards, all, this prudent lesson follow,
Or own, in sense, goat has beat you hollow

Our Hired Girl.

WE e were nearly worked to death when

stay no longer where all the "trundle bed
trash" took it upon themselves to "boss
her around"
Sc,though assured her I'd let mother do
the ordering, she gathered up her dry goods
and her dignity, and departed.
What was to become of us? Grace was
to be married in just three weeks, and such
a confusion of silks and muslins, lace and
flowers, purple and fine linen as there was
in the room up stairs, you never saw.
SO much to be done in the way of sewing,
to say nothing of the baking for the we'd
ding supper, (for Grace bad pretty fine
ideas how she wanted things done,) and no
one to do it but mother and /.
"Well," said brother Willie, al suppose
it III be my fate to start off in search of an
other girl, though where to go I've not the
remotest idea. This section of country has
been pretty well secured, and girl who is
not too "stuck up' to work out is hard to
be found" eA n' 'e

can get along, Flora"
No. said l, you'll be down sick, and
it's bad enough to have Grace go and leave
us, without having you kill YOURSELF"
