George Talbott's NICE residence,

the family were at breakfast. 1t

could render any assistance. Mr..
Talbott's loss is quite heavy, as there
was but two hundred dollars insur-
ance on the building.
During the week there was also
another dwelling burned down about
ten miles southwest of us. A little
child was burned to death in the
building. Itseems the mother went
out to milk, and when she came
back and opened the door the flames
burst out so furiously that she could
not possibly enter the building to
save her child.
A grand hunt came of last We'd

gers" and the "Raspers." They were
restricted to the killing of rabbits,
hawks and owls, as they are con-

showed the Rangers had rasped 1t

ars Of the woIfish order of cri.s. In
its six years sof existence the BEE
never has had O strike OF Its print
eTs for back pay. The Republican,
on the contrary, has had one nearlv
every week in the past two months.
They have kept their employees liv-
ing ,,on promises until the best OF
them have thrown up their situa-
tons in order to get their pay. The
Republican owed all their printers
three weeks wages last Saturday,
and only paid up one-thlrd OF their
Indebtedness, promising them a
settlement when the senatorial fight
would be over. We are not in the
habit of noticing such little bust

AS Reform Schools are just now
being agitated in Nebraska, the fol-
lowing account OF a riot last Friday
in Worcester, Mass, will illustrate
some of the difficulties encountered
In reforming little urchins:
A serious riot took place at the
Westboro State Reform School FRI
dsv, the 18th inst. About 100 bows
were in the uprising, and the sig
nal was given by shutting off
the gas In the school-room. The
fight was a desperate one for a few
minutes, every article of furniture
in two Of the rooms being completely
demolished. The officers succeeded
10 keeping the rioters in the rooms
until help was summoned, and then
subdued them by the free use of
water from a hydrant. None of the
officers or men were seriously hurt,
and none Of the boys escaped.

for members to trace out of the six
