INcENDIARIsM.


Cloud & Wykes Tub Factory De-
stroyed-Attempt to Fire the Shics
and Cooper Shop ofD. L. June & Son.
On Saturday morning last at a quarter past
two O'Clock, fire was discovered issuing from
the Tub Factory and Handle Works Of Cloud
& Wykes, near the depot, in this city. The
engineer Of a passing locomotive discovered
the fire and blew his whistle and rang the bell
to give the alarm, and immediately altar the
fire alarm sounded, and the fire department.
hurried to the scens- When they reached the
grounds, the factory was all in flames and 50
far gone that nothing could be saved, and the
dry house and engine room were on fire. As
soon as water could be obtained an attempt
was made to save the ngine.and wsaro pleased
to say a successful one, though at oas time it
looked doubtful. A large belt and few other
articles were saved from the factory, but ev-
erything else was destroyed in the factory and
dry house.
This Is the second time this factory has been
destroyed by fire within the year, the other
fire being on the night Of the first Of October,
and both fires were evidently the result Of in-
eendiarism. The FIRE on Saturday morning
was certainly 50, as no work had been done
about the factory tho day previous, and the
fact that an attempt was made 70 fire the
works Of D. L. June & Son, at the same time
is positive proof. We regret very much the
destruction of the factory, as it Is doubtful
whether the parties will rebuild. The loss
on building, machinery stock &C., viii reach
about Sc 600, on which there was an insur-
ance Of $500.
ATTEMPT TO FIRE THE oFFICE OF D. I. JUNE
SON.
About seven O'Clock on Saturday morning
after the destruction Of Cloud s Wykes' fac
tory, Mr.. D. L. June drove up to his ofiee,
and drove his horse under the shed adjoining.
In doing so he noticed a bunch Of shaYings
stuck in between two studding in the corner
next the Office, and getting out 70 ezamine,he
found it to be a regular incendiary device Il
consisted Of some hickory hoop shaVings, in
the center Of which was a six ounce vial Of
coal oil, the whole being bound together with
a niece Of narrow hoop iron. A piece Of pa
per was inserted among the shavings as
hind of fuse, and number Of matches lay
alongside, some Of which had evidently been
tried and would not ignite; and possibly that
was the only reason the place was not set on
fire. At the southeast corner Ct the ofies
another bunch Of shaVings was found. It
was fortunate that the ineendiaries were foil
ed at that point, as it is scarcely possible any
of the buildings in that vicinity could have
been saved, had the fire got into the cooper
shop.
Our city anthorties should At once offer

The sharp Man.

The sharp man IL mistaken for the
wize one, but he il just az different
from wize one az he il from an
honest one.
He trusts tew his cunning for sue
cess, and this is the-next thing tew
being rogue.
The sharp man IL like a razor
generally too sharp for anything but
shave.
These men are not to be trusted
they are so constituted that thev
must cheat somebody, and, rahte1
than be idle or loose a job, they viii
pitch into their best friends.
They are not exactly outkasts,but
liv clos on the borders of criminality
and are liable tew step over at emmy
time.
It IL but a step from cunning to
rascality and it il a short step that
IL alwus invitin tew take.
Sharp men have but phew friends
and seldum a confident. They learn
to fear treachery but studying theil
own nature.
They are alwus bizzy, but like the
hornet, want heap of sharp watch
ing.
The sharp man IL alwuz a vair
one. He prides himself upon hi:
eunning, and had rather do shrewC
thing than a kind one.-.Jos6 BIZ

No Success Without INDUSTRY.

I really believe, young friends
that idleness is the ground of most
vices. l am acquainted with Ger.
tain young men who are running
about the streets, whom l see step.
ping out OF drinking saloons. Some
of them are sons of reputable pa
rents, L remember last summer
meeting a young man-one OF the
best dressed lads in the city-a
young man whom l met frequently
in the omnibus riding up and down;
and 1 had seen him so often, and al
ways with such a leisurely air, that
1 said one day, calling him byname,
What are you dOingp
81 have not got any particular
business" he said.
"Well, haven't you anything to
doY7
Nothing in particular" he ans
wered.
It was somewhat impertinent, but
1 said, "Well, 1 suppose, now you
are out of school, you mean to get
into something pretty soOn?"
"Wel1, I have not anything just
now in vieW," he replied.
To make a long story short, the
poor fellow has not anything in view,
never did have much Of anything in
view. Drifting, drifting, driftingl
Down, down, down. He is not the
boy he was when 1 conversed with
him last summeE. There is nobEing
truer, though trite, than the adage,
can idle brain is. the devils work
shop" Unless there is an aim,
plan, a purpose in a man, there is de-
pravity, and appetite, and lust, and
passion. 1t is idleness that fills our
jails and prisons. 1t is idleness that
rolls up millions and millions of dol
lars for spirituous, liquors every
year.
Industry, my yoang friends, is the.
first law of success. Some one ask
ed a man, who was counted a great
genius, to define genius, and he said,
"Genius is industry" Things never
come about of themselves. The man
who writes a great book never
wrote it in a day or week. The
man who has reported a great inven-
ton did not combine wheel and pis-
ton in an hour or a month, but it
was the industry of inquiry, the in
dustry of application. Industry is
the first law of success.

The Democratic Candidate for Mem
Der of the Board of Public Works.

The Democratic Candidate for Mem
Der OF the Board of Public Works.
Martin was put upon the ticket
merely as a sop for the Germans.
He is a good, healthy specimen. a
grain dealer with an inordinate itch
ing for office. Several times has he
! been elected to the city council from
the Second ward by colored votes
and he claims to carry that vote in
his pistol pocket. Last Spring he
was elected one of the Trustees of
oeloto township, an Office the salary
OF which is regulated by the law of
the state at 81 per day of actual
service Martin was a good Demo
crat, the aVoWed enemy of all cor
ruption, and especially bitter in his
denunciation Of all salary orabbers
but he had been in office onlv siv'
teen days when he and his com.
panions, Messrs. Seward and West
voted themselves fifty dollars each.
His two companions at once pre-
sented their orders and received
their illegal pay. Martin forgot his.
and when he went to draw It from
the township treasury, he found that
William Fl. Reed, then one of the
County Commissioners, had been
before the Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas, and had enioined
the payment, on the ground of its
illegality. This angered the honest
Martin and he tore up the order:
but the action against him will be
tried at the next term Of court. On
the 18th of August the trustees
went through the same form, but
the township treasurer refused TO
pay the orders, and the honest
trustees threatened to sue him in
order to obtain it. This, then. is
the man presented by the Democ-
raey of the State as a specimen of
honesty and as one opposed to cor
ruption.

The Lion

DR.. Livingstone is said to have
expressed the utmost contempt fol
lions. ''You talk about the majesty
of the lion," said he, chatting one
day at a party, in London, with Sir
Edmund Landseer, "but do you
know the beast? There is no more
majesty about him in the forest than
there is about that poodle. 1t is all
poetry. Lions are arrant cowards-
eowardly and sneaklng beasts. You
can hardly tell a lion from q donkey
when you come upon him in the for
est; and if you come upon a lion
suddenly, his first impulse is to tuck
his tail between his legs and bolt.
He will spring upon you unawares,
and can have time to crouch, but if
a man has the courage to look the
lion in the face, you need not even
cock your rifle.

The Red-Legged Locust.

A Chicago reporter has interview
ed the Hon. j. Sterling Morton, Pres
ident of the Nebraska Board of
Agriculture, obtaining the following;
Reporter-Has the devastination
of crops by the grasshoppers and
drouth been general in Nebraska?
Mr.. Morton-It was general as to
the first crops on prairie sod in Sall
the newly organized Counties of the
State.
R.-What part of the State was
first affected?
Mr.. M.-The grasshoppers enter
ed the State seemingly from the
Northwest, and travelled through it
to the Southeast. The Northwest
ern counties of Howard, Valley,
Greeley, and Sherman are the most
seriously injured. Possibly the
most reliable statement from this
section of the State is from General
E. o. C. Ord, of the regular army,
who stated at a public meeting at
Omaha, recently, in referring to
these particular counties, that sin
the Spring the crops looked fine, and
every man had a prospect of abund-
ance for the Winter. Ten days ago
l rode 100 miles up one side and
down the other side of the Platte
River, and without exception, there
was not single stalk of corn from
Grand Island to the forks of the
Calamus. There were neither pOta-
toes no vegetables, but there is some
little wheat. There are signs OF
suffering among the people already.
The commanding officer at the camp
told me he was taking care Of two
families, who were in great destitu-
ton and had no food. The settlers
will kill their pigs because they have
nothing to feed them upon. They
seem to be brave and selfreliant.
There was a deal of pluck displayed
especially among the women. They
said many were worse of than they
were. Many had not q weeks pro-
visions for their families, and did
not know where they were to get
more from. told the commanding
officer to give employment to needy
settlers as far as was possible for
him to do so. He has divided the
employment among the people, and
viii set as many to work as possible.
That RELIEF, however, will Of necessity
only be temporary" That is prob
ably the fullest statement Of the
worst disaster that ever has befallen
any portion of the State.

Sad.-On Thursday morning Of last week
George Longabach, son Of Martin LOngabaoh,
one of our County Commissioners, was
brought home on the cars, from Battle Creek
Michigan, SO weak and emaeiatsd that he
could scarcely be moved. Ho had been suf-
fering for some time from consumption or 4
kindred complaint, under which he was stsadi-
ly sinking. In the hopes Of receiving some
benefit, he had gone to Michigan to Try the
merits Of some Mineral Spring OF other cura-
tive agent, but obtaining no relief was brought
back as stated. He was so much reduced that
he could not bear the shaking Of buggy. and
had to be carried in litter the entire distance
to his home, some three miles fsom the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Longobach have the warm SYM
Pathy Of many friends in their afaietion.

What is a Hoodlumq

The great dread of the Chinese,
and indeed of many others, is the
"hoodlums." A "hoodlum" is an
animal known only in California,and
it is to be hoped that all other places
may know it only by reputation.
"Hoodlum" are adolescents from
fifteen to twenty or more years age
They seem to have no visible means
of obtaining a livelihood; perhaps
many of them have the living al
ready made by too indulgent parents
who permit them to spend all thei1
time on the streets, in company with
like minded-youths, and there they
engage in all sorts of mischief, from
that which is merely playful, to tina
which is desperately criminal. Only
a day or two since q number of then
tried to get into a circus by another
than the proper entrance, and be
ing successfully resisted by a couple
of watchman, they retired and arm
ed themselves with stones, brick
bats, clubs, returned to the charge
and so employed their ammunition
as to kill one of the Watchmen,. who
was buried to-day. They pull the
pigtails of the Chinese, set dogs on
them, jostle them on the streat, as
sault new corners, and obstruct theil
locomotion, and do other acts ol
Wickedness which only the genius o1
a hoodlum could invent. They are
becoming a nuisance, and need Sc
we're handling by the authorities
A charge of manslaughter has beer
brought against five or six of them
for the circus business, and per
haps their incarceration for a few
years will afford slight check tc
their companions. Those Of them
who attend school leave at half past
three,a and then they have all the day
for mischief.

A method of broiling equal in
every respect to the gridiron, except
ing that it lacks the smoky taste, is
this: Set your spider on the stove,
and let it get smoking hot. Put in
no butter or any kind of grease.
Have your meat previously pre-
pared by trimming off all pieces of
bone, gland, superfuous suet and
tissues that will bind the edge and
make it turn up. Lay it very care
fully and smoothly in the spider. It
will stick fast at first, but as soon as
it is Drowned can be loosened with a
knife. Sprinkle little salt on the
under surface, and turn it over.
Let the other side brown the same as
the first. Have a platter warmed,
lay the meat carefully upon it, with
out besmearing the edges, dress with
butter and pepper, and send to the
table hot. By this process you have
q crisp and brown surface, with The
juice retained as well as by broiling,
and the additional advantage that the
inevitable drippings are saved, and
can be converted in to gravy.
