as much business going on here as

load their passengers every day, at
the various station in this city,
in addition to these are: Fourteen
lines of packet ard mail boats
from Memphis, New Orleans, ST..

stop or touch here on their way up
the river to Parkersburg, Wheeling,
Pittsburg and other places, 400 men
are drilled and equipped for the
police force of this place, 81 fire and
9 hook and ladder companies are
constantly on duty, 20 street-car
lines are on the move from 6 a. N.
until midnight, some of those lines
are cable, some electric and some
horsepower. The churches number
215; 20 ofwhich are Presbyterian, %
are Methodist Episcopal, 18 Baptist,
81 Catholics, II German protestant,
10 Synagogues, 4 German Reform

Hard Winter Coming.

Horace johnson, of Middle Had
dam, Conn, who predicted the great
blizzard, says we are going to have
a hard winter. He bases his predic-
ton on the phenomenally large hay
crop and the hard, thick shells of
crabs. He finds further verifcation
in the two-story muskrat houses
Then he examines the corn husks
and finds fleecy sort of wool on the
inside. A friend brought him a
squirrel the other day, and he says
the fur is triple extra thick and very
fine. Coons are fatter than usual,
and this is a sign that they are pre-
pairing for long siege. Mr.. John
son paid q man fifty cents to dig out
q woodchuck, and more signs were
found in the bottom of the burrow.
Pumpkin rinds are thickest this fall.
He has not yet had goose's bone
to study, but he is willing to stake
his reputation as the Virgins of
Connecticut that it will endorse all
he claims for the winter.

Corn is Scarce In Nebraska.

LINCOLN, NEB., November H.
The yield of corn is much less than
anticipated, the average in this part
of the state being less than ten bush
els to the acre, and further west
even less. Farmers have nothing to
feed with, and vast quantities of
hogs. half-fattened are being rushed
to market and sacrificed at very low
prices. Corn is selling on the streets
for from so to So cents per bushel.
1t is impossible to disguise the fact
that in wcseern counties there is

are heavily encountered, and few
have been abandoned. Women and
