Five Hundred Killed.


Reports have been received Of reyo-
luton in Guatemala In which 500 lives
have been sacrificed 1t appears that
the people were celebrating the ami
varsary of their national holiday, and
President Barillas mad personally ap,
POINTED the orators OF the day. To this
Tie masses took exception. When the
fators took the rostrnm 1t was signal
iar storm OF stones. which set them to
fight, they being chased across the big
plaza by bowling mob An exciting
scene followed and every Barillaa
rartisan was driven from the plaza
The news Of the riot spread rapidly,
and soon l3arilas threw battalion
oil infantry into the large square
f,r the purpose of dispensing
/ o mob. They, with fixed bay
cnets. attempted to carry the
y aza by assault They were met
with shower of stones and by fusil-
lade from revolvers, and fed, leaving
many dead and wounded behind. Mem
hers of the mob shouted: sLet's storm
the national palace, kill Barillas and re-
store republican form of government "
81 lundering the national treasury must
cease" Barllas then ordered artillery
into the plaza and infantry and two
cannon to guard his residence. When
the guns were turned on the mob the
rioters fed, keeping up desultory fire
on the soldiers. They left the plaza,
but fought in the side streets; In fact
they practically during the night held
full control of the city.
1t is thought this will cause general
revolt throughout the entire Republic OF
Guatemala, and engender war In all of
the other Central American States. A
strict censorship is maintained over all
press dispatches, and the mails are also
trifed with to prevent any information
becoming known. A special from New
ton, on the line between Guatemala and
Mexico, brings the information that
Barillas is master of the situation, hav-
ing put down the revolt i'm the city OF
Guatemala after three days of hard fight
ing. The revolt was precipitated by Mon
tufar, a son of one of the candidates for
the Presidency, who is strong partisan
of Barillas, in attempting to make
political speech on Independence Day.
A mob threw him and his friends from
the platform in the main plaza, pelting
them with stones until they found shell
ter in neighboring house. The arrival
of troops from adjoining districts event
ually restored Barillas to power, and the
whole city is now filled with soldiers and
martial law has been declared.
A private dispatch says that fully 500
lives were sacrificed in the three days
fighting, and that President Barillas is
still shooting down the participants In
the revolt as if they were animals. The
dispatch also conveys the information
that Bariljas has declared himself die
tator. A reign OF terror prevails, the
Inhabitants being afraid to leave their
houses

DEMAND FOR HOG PRODUCTS.

Increasing Rapidly in European Countries
--Desire for More Inspectors.
Secretary Rusk, of the agricultural de-
partment, says that since the embargo
against American hog products has been
raised by France and Germany there has
never been a single complaint from those
countries as to Inequality or condition or
the shipments, of which there have been
many. The secretary also said that the
demand for hog products Is increasing
rapidly. Even at this stage the demand Is
SO great that there is not single dealer in
them in this country who has not received
orders from both France and Germany.
This information the secretary gets from
the letters the dealers have written to him.
Those dealers urge him to increase the
number of places where inspections are had
and to add to his force of inspectors. This
he is unable to do because of a lack or
funds. He is doing all that he can do with
the appropriation at his command. He will.
however, recommend to congress that
sum sufficient to cover the expenses of
prompt inspection of hog products destined
for foreign market be made. AS the
case now stands the inspection will have to
be confined to Omaha, Chicago, Milwaukee,
Kansas City and Boston.

MORE LAND WANTED.

Delegations to Urge the Opening OF the
Cheyenne Country.
Quite number of prominent citizens of
Oklahoma are at Washington to urge the
president to finish at once the allotment Of
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands, so that
the reservation may be speedily opened TO
settlement. They say that the recent order
suspending the functions of the allotting
agents there has produced much distress in
Oklahoma, as the great overflow of emf
grants who failed to secure homes in the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe country, and will
be adrift until these lands are opened up.
II these allotments are not made before the
winter sets in, there must necessarily be
great suffering.

NEBRASKA'S TRAIN.
Route Arranged for the Big State Adver-
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 Logan sport, 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 tq.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 a 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 i'm re-
turning, SO it will be very easy to figure
about the time it will strike the differ
ent parts of the state.

Counterfeiters mt Beatrice,

FIVE men, two women and boy are
under arrest in Beatrice on the charge
of passing counterfeit money. Their
names are Fred Zeph, James Carpenter,
William Pagan and wife, o. S. Petty
and an unknown woman. Four of the
parties were arrested ON warrants sworn
out by Robert Noakes, butcher on
whom o 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, ON whom an
attempt was made to pass the stuff. 1t
is believed the parties under arrest are
the guilty ones. In addition to silver
dollars and dimes, bogus currency in SIS
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 moulds 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-
ficient to convict the whole gang of
counterfsiting and passing the queer.

TESTS SAI'lSF ACTORl
COL. Z. s. NETTLETON ON RE-
SUITS OF IRRfGATION.

ALI Tests Have Been Attended with the
Most Satisfactory Results, Especially In
South Dakota-Much Land will BE Re
deemed.
Col. E. 8. NETTLEToN, of the United
States irrigation survey and inquiry,
has completed his labors In Montana,
North Dakota and South Dakota for
the present, but expects to return again
next spring. He reports the inyestiga-
ton quite satisfactory, and where irri-
CATION has been given practical test it
has been attended with the most salts
factory results. Especially is this true
in South Dakota. Col. Nettleton says
the people are Just beginning to get
hold of irrigation in the right way, and
the unlocked for results OF the present
glorious experiments are sufficient to
induce very large number Of farmers
and companies to engage in 1t next sea-
son. The moderate cost Of artesian
wells, the easy means Of preparing
reservoirs and the ground for irrigation
has been demonstrated to be very profit
able even when only small tracts are
irrigated. He predicts that thousands
of acres of land In the Jim river valley
will be watered from artesian wells next
year, and that farm lands in that part
of the state will more than double in
value within the next two years. Irri-
cation in South Dakota is no longer an
experimental is an established fact,
and proof of it's value and benefits has
been so thoroughly demonstrated the
past season that all doubts of its practi-
cability have vanished. Col. Nettleton
will prepare his report and have it
ready to submit to the department about
the tSt of January next

WOMAN NEARLY STARVED.
HIistOok the Cause and Result Was
Almost Fatal.

A sad case of starvation has come to
light in Bernardston. Mass.
About ten years ago Mrs. A. c. Brooks,
of that town, was taken seriously ill,
and since that time has been an invalid.
The simplest kind of food was more
THAN she could digest, and medicine had
mo good effect. She could not even eat
ibroths or meat juice, and most of the
time her stomach was so weak it could
not retain beef tea.
Nine different physicians attended
her, and they agreed in saying that her
case of indigestion was the most severe
they had ever seen. At last. when it
looked as though her days were num-
.bered, and she was losing strength rap
Eidlv, DR.. W. II. Pierce recomme nded
lIactated Food. To use Mrs. Brooks
words:
'Lactated Food gave me health and
strength. and my restoration Is due to
that alone"
Mrs. Brooks condition was similar to
thousands. where an easily digeSted,
strengthening and pleasant food IS neces-,
Sary for recovery. In all weakened and
debilitated conditions Lactated Food will
restore tone, create an appetite, and
hasten recovery. 1t satisfies hunger,
gives strength, and is invaluable in
fevers, dyspepsia, and all wasting dis
eases.
The proprietors, Wells, Richardson &
Co., Burlington, VT, Will send a
pamphlet of rules for diet in dyspepsia,
constipation, consumption, diabetes,
Bright'S disease, etc, to any address.
1t shows how much more natural 1t Is TO
cure disease by proper food than by
nauseating and powerful drugs.
