positively declared there was nothing
to arbitrate. The union then issued
Its ultimatum, giving Pullman five
days in which to consent to arbitration
or boycott of Pullman cars would be
declared by the union. The boycott
went into effect at noon, June 26.
Meanwhile the railroad managers or
ganized to resist interference with
traffic. Within forty eight hours 49,.
600 men were enrolled among the
strikers. From Chicago the boycott
extended as far east rs Cleveland,
south to Louisville and st. Louis, and
on the Pacific coast from Los Angeles
to Seattle. Transportation was tenn
porarily suspended at more than thirty
important cities and nearly all the
great arteries of commerce in the north
were brought to standstill. Esti-

strike place that of Chicago at $780,
coo day or total of 1872 100000 for
thirteen days. OF this amount work
ingmen lost at least 100000 day.
st. Louis estimates its loss for ten days
at 81 ,00O, 900 day, and San Francisco
lost at least that.amount.
Considering the extent of the strike,

were women and two boys.

MELVILLE,

The dry weather still continues with
no prospect for rain. Everybody
ought to turn out and pray for rain.
Miss Tunman, who has been sick the
past week is slowly improving.

Sunday calls.
Mr.. Burrows was business caller
in the county seat and purchased o
new Champion binder sold by the firm
of Gill Jones Il Co.
Hay is selling at 80 and $12 dollars
in Audubon and the probabilities are
that the price will be much higher as it
is a very scarce article and many of
the farmers will not have enough for
their own use.
Mr.. Hutton, the lightning rod man
Of Atlantic, was in this section roding
houses and barns for many Of our
farmers.
Harvest is the order of the day.
Many OF our farmers say their grain is
SO short that it Is impossible to get it
with binder.
We would like to know why Jim
Keightly never visits this neighbor-
hood any morep Don't give up in dis
pair, Jim.
Mr.. Carleston transacted business in
Audubon last Thursday with Marshall

chine Co., was in this section last
Thursday starting binders and repair
ing old ones. He reports business
lively nowadays.
Miss Emma Black returned recently
to Audubon to complete the dress
making course with the Misses Mcclure
of that place.
The dry weather has affected many
of the wells and stock water is getting

Many of the Melville folks celebrated

old and widow, has for the past few
years been spending her time with her
two daughters, alternating between
the home of one in Sandusky and that
of the other, Mrs. w. A. Davidson, of

ly deranged and it was feared by her
daughter that she would do bodily
harm to herself. At o'clock Tuesday
morning Mrs. Miller arose from her
bed, and going to the window raised

she stepped through the aperture,
which could not exceed thirteen inches
in width. She fell heavily to the
ground, and striking on her head her
