The Hon. TheO. Guelich. editor OF

eye in regard TO what al represented
him as saying about the manner in
which the Hon. :. j. lakewood was
nominated for Governor, last June.

THAT ERE SNAKE.-Last Monday the Mammoth
Rocky Mountain Museum of geological wonders
pulled up on switch, near the Ft. Wayne depot,
confined in solitary freight car. Among other
curiosities was a deer, fox rabbit, and good
sized snake, the latter curled up naturally aud
quietly as in peaceful sleep. The hoodlums soon
gathered about the car door and began to ask
queer questions Of strange looking man who
seemed to be boss of the museum. The boss pre-
served sort of uncouth dignity for time. but
finally after many interrogations he opened up:
"Dye see that ere snake p said he
"Yes!' 1--WE see i'm" wat smatter with i'm p
came the replies from the dead heads.
"Nothin's the matter with i'm; onny that snake
amt ct nothin' for nineteen years.
"Wh-whata q wopptr!" said one gamin.
Didn't 1t crack yer jaw to tell that'nH" asked
another
"send for 0rpheus G. Kerr" remarked sore
eyed young man who reads the New York Ledger.
"Well, BOYS" continued the boss "Ill swear TO
it, sure as you're born; I've been with that snake
for twenty years through thick and thin mostly
thin, and I'll bet any man a colt that he amt ct
bite for nineteen years.
The boys opened their eyes wider than before
and presently one hasty youth asked:
"How in thunder does he live without eatin, I"
Then the Snowman elected gill of tobacco juice,
and as he cast his eyes around the group he
briefly explained:
THAT ere snake is stuffed" And as he turned
his back to them the boys went off to steal ride
on freight caboose.

GRASSHOPPERS.

"If your State did not have the reputation of
being 'Grasshoppered' every year, l would have
had to pay twenty dollars an acre instead of dI
and the grasshOppUrs have done me solid ben

We heard these exact words from the lips of
farmer from Mclean County, Illinois, the other
day man of experience and observation who
has Just purchased half section of land in Fill
more County, on the line of the Burlington &
Missouri River Railroad Company.
There is great deal of truth bottled up In this
confession. Men from Illinois and other States
who come to Nebraska and examine for them
selves, go away convinced of the fact, that the
Grasshopper is by no means as destructive as the
Chinch Bug they see that the stories they have
heard are either wholly false or greatly exagger-
sted and they realize that IN the young State of
Nebraska men can raise bigger crops, and make
moro money than they can further east, notwith.
standing that we do have an occasional Grass
hopper TO worry u.s. tf
The GrasshOpper troubles of the past two yeals
have done us no damage of any consequence
and everything goes to prove the truth of what
Professor Riley says, which is, that Grasshoppes
will only trouble Nebraska once or twice In
long series of years, and that year by year the
chances Of our being troubled will grow less. =

BURNED TO DEATH.-Ars. James Perry, of this
city, met with sad accident on last Monday, by
which she lost her life. The circumstances as
we learn them, are as follows: She was engaged
in watering some flowers near the fire, and had
her back towards 1t when her dress caught fire
and burned her very badly. AS soon as she dis.
covered her dress on fire she ran out into the
yard and tried to extinguish the flames by role
ing over the ground. Her husband chanced to
see her and ran and carried her to a bed where
he smothered the flames, but not until she was
badly burned from the ankles to her shoulders.
Her husband, Mr. Perry, had his hand badly
burned while trying to save the life Of his wife.
She fingered until Tuesday, when she died. She
leaves a husband and FIVE children to mourn her
sad end.-[Urbana Democrat, 18th.
