MARRIAGE IN NEBRASKA.

A newly elected justice of the peace
who had been used to drawing up deed.

on to marry a couple in haste. Re.

Some people say that eastern capital
is making western Kansas. The state
ment is unquali6edly false. The Al
mighty made this part of the country.
The pioneers discovered and developed
it. The investors followed them and
merely seconed the judgement of the
pre- -emtors and homesteaders with cash.
The good Lord, good men and good
money compose the trinity of factors
now doing the work, and we can not
get along without any one of them.

vEsTIBULE TRAINS TO CHICA.

The Vestibu!e train is new factor
in western railroad transportation. 1t
is claimed for these trains that on &C.
count of there being connected by steel
hoods all danger of telescoping in case
of accident is removed, the train being
practically one long car. lis Ger
tain that the oscillation of the cars Is
greatly reduced, and it is also certain
that the vestibule trains afford the
greatest comfort yet known to travellers.
The adoption of this style Of train by
the Chicago, Santa Fe & California rail-
way between Kansas City and Chicago
is strong bid for the passenger traf-
&c between the West and Chicago.
This new road is in many particulars
ahead of its older competitors, and will
undoubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago. #

terness that brought the clash Of arms,
but in the spirit Of charity and broad
craftsmanship. The great problem of
today so far as 1t concerns the two Sec
tions as former enimies is, how to har-
monte and unity without sacrifice of
right principles.
This is true patriotism to meet the
issue of today in the manner that will
bring the greatest good to the country.
The good of the country demands a
better feeling between the North and
South. IF two men quarrel and then
fight and at last agree upon terms of
peace he is an emmy to both, who en-
deavors to revive the old issue concern
ing which they fought when by it moth
ing can be gained except to make them

for revival of old animosities and
every statesman will guard against it

The notorious Lone Highwayman," who

travellers in the vicinity of Kerryville, Texas,
and who has, without the assistance of q
coaches, rifed mail bags. and gone through
as many as six commercial travellers in broad
daylight without the slightest Inconvenience
or resistance. has been killed. He was short
by Mrs. Lizzie Hay, at her home on the
head prong of Rio Sabinal, Bandero
county. Mrs. Hays story of the killing is as
follows: s'Last Monday morning l was
sitting on the floor i'll my room, when sud-
denly man appeared OH the front gallery.
He had red handkerchief tied around his
hand and piece ofblack calico over his face
said what do you want here? He answered
it is none of your business / then said get
off that gallery or III kill YOU Helaughed and
said you're pucky woman, but III have
what l want out of this house, or burn it
down over your head BY this time had
needle gun and he entered l drew it down
on him within eighteen inches of the heart,
but it snapped and he said. 'D-you I'll kill
you,' at the same time producing long,
keen bladed knife and aimed it a my throat.
Iwarded off the blow, the next time he struck
the end of the knife stuck in my forehead,
making on ugly cash. At the same time
reversed ends of my gun and struck him over
the head telling him to the floor, and before
he could rise, had reversed the gun and
pulled the trigger. This time it fired, the
bullet taking effect in his left side. He gave
an ugly yell and rolled out on the porch. l
looked for another cartridge. but the blood
was streaming down my face so could not
find them. | wiped it of with my apron and
reloaded my gun. lie had by this time al
most reached his horse. took good dim
and fired, but don't think l hit him. My
husband was up in the Canon, but when he
came home, a few hours after dark, he i'm
mediately organized a party of rangers.
They trailed him for distance of twenty
miles by his blood and found him dead. His
name is unknown, but he is recognized to be
the same man whose bold depredations have
for two years past terrorized the whole Ban

NEWS In BRIEF.
News From all Parts of the World
i'm q Condensed Form


The president sent the following nomina-
tions to the senate: John G. Parkhurst of
Michigan, envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to Belgium; Charles II.
Tracey, postmaster at Anaconda, Mont;
Capt. Henry +. Lawton, of the Fourth cav
airy, major and Inspector general.
The continued absence of the Swedish min
lister from the city, as well as his secretary of
legation, has led to a great deal of talk in
diplomatic circles, and rs the members of the
corps return to Washington, all sorts of ru-
mors are heard as to the reasons which lead
to the long absence Of the two gentlemen.
The reason which il generally believed is that
the Swedish government is chagrined over
the action of secretary Bayard and Commits
sioner of navigation Morton on account of
the non-action of these gentlemen in the mat
ter of demand of the Swedish government for
lower tonnage dues. The argument was pre-
sented to the secretary of state as long ago
as March, 1887, and no reply has been trans
mitted, and, as a consequence, it is believed
here that Sweden has determined to allow
herself to be unrepresented at the capital OF
the United States until the answer to the last
communication is forthcoming.

Canadian Railroad Riot.

News has reached Montreal of q serious
riot in the county of Compton, Canada. Con-
tractors on a section of the Hereford branch
railroad drew check for $25, 900 from the
company on account of construction and LETT
the country with the proceeds. They had in
their employ over 700 Italian laborers who
had not been paid q cent of wages since Aug.
1 and were in destitute condition. AS soon
as the duped foreigners learned of the
departure of their employers they became
desperate, and when the railroad company
attempted to resume the work of construc-
ton they fatty refused to do stroke and at
once began destroying all they could lay their
hands on. They soon took possession of the
village of Sawyerville, and threatened to de-
stroy it unless they were paid. A party OF
citizens, with some Hungarians employed by
the railway company, ipterferred to save
railroad property, and desperate fight fol-
lowed One Italian and four Hungarians were
killed. it is reported, and between thirty and
forty injured.
Italian navies, now assembled at Pan
quetteville ON the border between Canada
and the United States, chased off u track
