The Growth OF Nebraska during the
decade between 1870 and 1850 was
more rapid than that ofany other state
in the union with the single exception
Of Colorado; and considering how
much smaller the population Of Colo
RADIO was than that Of Nebraska Wa in
1870 the increase Of 267 per cent in the
later state and quite rs remarkable as
the 3S7 per cent in the former The
census Just taken shows that Nebraska
still continues to grow 1t a wonderful
pace, almost complete returns, indi-
eating a population OF nearly 100000
in 1885 against 49, 10 in lSS0a gain
Of about 50 per cent in FIVE years. At
the out brake Of the war Nebraska and
Nevada had not far from the same pop
ulation and later they came into the
union within three years OF each other
but for some time past Nevada has
been retrograding, until it has only
about $4,000 people, while Nebraska

Stables Burned.

Last Thursday night the stables of
G.. Otto, in the rear of his restaurant on
First Street, were destroyed by fire, the
efforts of the fire department being una
vailing to subdne the flames on account
of the infammable material in the build
ings, but some good work was done by the
fremen IN preventing the flames from
spreading to adjoining property. There
was strong smell of kerosene at the
fire, arousing the suspicion that the
building had been saturated with kero-
sene and then set On fire. The stables
were insured in the Milwaukee Mechan-
les for 5000.
The same night, we learn, there was
an attempt made to fire Ziegelman's
blacksmith shop on Third Street, but it
proved abortive.
