A PLow FAcToRY-Among the many
institutions that have been suggested
for the benefit of Red Cloud, none
would be more beneficial than a pillow
factory There would be a great de-
mand for such articles in this and ad-
joining counties, and as they could be
made as cheap, if not cheaper, than
they could be sold by middle-men, one
would naturally infer that the
institution would afford a good paying
and profitable investment for any man
or company that would manufacture
agricultural implements in our city
We have the best of facilities for their
manufacture, and as our town is locat-
ed in such a position as to command .
trade of this character for a great many
miles, it would certainly pay any man
of experience and capital TO locate
here for the purpose their of manufac-
ture. A splendid trade could be es-
tablished here without much trouble.
Our city is three hundred miles from
Denver, and Kansas City, and about
two hundred miles from Omaha, and is
located in one of the most fertile agri-
cultural regions in the west. There is
a good opening then for some enter
prising man in this CITY to make mon
ey in this particular business.

formerly Assistant Private Secretary of
President Grant, and Benjamin 2. Suter,
of Washington, ID. c., were drowned Sat-
urday in Mosquito Inlet, off the coast of
Florida, while experimenting work on
the light house being erected at that
point. Another private telegram SAYS
that the casualty occurred yesterday.
The body of Gen. BabcOck was recovered,
Search was instituted for the others, but
without avail. The Light House Board

the subject nor has the Adjutant General

the sea was running half mast high, one
reached the Pharos, and Gen. Babcock
sent the following message to DR.. j. G.

''The Pharos sails from here this MORN

The sea ran SO high that the tug could
not get out and had not gone down this
morning. The next news received was
dispatch from Daytona announcing
the catastrophe. When the tug comes back
from Mosquito Inlet full particulars will
be known. The probability is that the
PharOs anchored off the inlet and the
General and his party undertook to 90
ashore in a small boat, which was
swamped in the breakers. The only way
to communicate with the scene Of the
disaster is by telegraph to Daytona,
several miles from the scene of the acci-
dent, on Halifax river, via AstOr.

I. Davies, the assignee and receiver of
the firm of Grant q Ward, an extension OF
sixty days time within which to file the
schedules of the insolvept firm. The ex-

receiver says that the affairs OF the firm
are yet in great confusion, and that it is
almost impossible to ascertain who are
the creditors of the firm.
