at Hot Springs in the form of compo-
sition known as vitrfied wall plaster.

NEBRAskA's TRAIN.
Route Arranged for the Big state Adve,
Using Excursion.

Route Arranged for the Big State Adver-
Using Excursion.
The route for the exhibition train.
which is to be sent east to advertise
Nebraska, has been selected. The mem
bers of the party will go east by way of
the Burlington line as far as Chicago:
will spend one and probably two days in
Illinois befare reaching Chicago. 1t is
not expected to make much of stop in
Chicago. From there they will take the
Pennsylvania line, and travel over this
line most all through their trip; they
will go by the way of Logarsport, Ind,
Marion, Ridgeville and Bradford, o., on
to Urbana, Columbus and through to
Steubenville, then northeast to Roches-
ter, Pa, and north through Newcastle
and Erie, returning by the way Of Ash
land to Alliance and east through Mans
field, Fort Wayne, Chicago, and home
via the Northwestern. This will be the
main country traversed by the train. If
arrangements are made with few of
the counties that are talking still of
going, there will be run from Penn
sylvania to western and northern New
York, but that cannot be definitely set
tied until about the 10th of the coming
month, The train will leave Omaha in
the afternoon or evening of October Is.
1t will consume about ten or twelve
days time in going and the same in re-
turning, so it will be very easy to figure
about the time it will strike the differ
emit parts of the state.

FIVE men, two women and a boy are
under arrest i'll Beatrice on the charge
of passing counterfeit money. Their
names are Fred Zeph, James Carpenter.
William Pagan and wife, O. 5. Petty
and an unknown woman. Four of the
parties were arrested on warrants sworn
out by Robert Noakes, butcher on
whom spurious silver dollar of the
issue OF 1852 was passed. The others
were in company with these parties.
The testimony of Noakes is substan-
tiated by that of others, OH whom an
attempt was made to pass the stuff. IL
is believed the parties under arrest are
the guilty ones. In addition to silver
dollars and dimes, bogus currency in S.
and $40 denominations have been in
circulation for some time past. which it
is believed the dealers in the stuff Sc
cured from the east, while making the
silver stuff in Beatrice. When one of
the gang was arrested the molllds used
in making the stuff. together with the
melting pot were secured. They are
crude affairs and it is surprising that so
good an imitation was made with them
The evidence is now believed to be suf-
iicient to convict the whole gang of
counterfeiting and passing the queer.

Died of His Injuries.

CHARLES kRINKLER, the victim of the
assault by the two colored hangcrs-on
of King & Franklin's circus at Hot
Springs in July last, has died of his in
juries. Krinkler has never been able
to speak since receiving the terrible
beating, but identified the two men
when they were brought before him.
An operation was performed on his
skull last week. and it was thought for
awhile he might recover, but he was
to debiitated by his long sickness.

Told by Bishop Talbot.

Bishop Talbot told story in Boston
the other day showing that at least one
Harvard man didn't leave his wits be-
hind him when he left college. The
bishop, it seems, arrived one day in
small mining town in his diocesc-Wy-
oming-whcreh he had promised to hold O
service. Walking up the street he
noticed some green handbills flying
about, took one up and read as follows:
Bishop Talbot breaches tonight at
-. Let him have big crowd.
Please leave your guns with the usher"
The bishop was not easily scared but
thought the last sentence little odd.
On inquiry he learned that one of &hc
young men in town, Harvard man, by
the way, who knew the Bishop. and
wanted to raise good crowd TO greet
him, had issued the handbills. knowing
that many who would not come to hear
bishop preach would come at a hint
Of disturbance of any kind.
