A Blighted Region.

The news from Nebraska is so sad
that it is almost heartrending. There
has been no rain to speak of in West
ern Nebraska for five years, and re-
gion which was once picture of hap
piness and fertility is desert in
which neither cattle nor man can live.
When the old schoOlbooks were
printed they informed the pupil that
the limit of cultivation westward was
the hundreth parallel. West of that
crops would not grow for want of
rain. Nevertheless, when the great
tide of western migration filed up the
eastern counties of Kansas and Ne
braska, after the war, hardy adyentu
rers pushed on westward and broke
the SOD on the North Fork of the
Platte and along the Republican Riv-
er. 1t happened, curiously enough,
that their arrival was accompanied by
unusual falls of rain The years from
1875 to 1888, we're all wet years. The
rivers were brimful, the streams did
not dry up, the sloughs always con
tanned water, and the soil was always
moist and prepared to grow corn.
Scores of little towns sprung up By
the side of the railroad, every train
brought new settlers, and there was
no part of the United States more
prosperous than the region which the
Biographies had pronounced uninhab-
liable.
This happy era lasted till the open
ing of the present decade. Then there
came summer without rain, and Of
course without crops This was fol-
lowed BY another and yet another, I'M
til the climax was capped in 1894,
when the Republican river ran dry
and the corn made no pretense of
growing at all. Then the settlers, who
had run deeply into debt IN the years
OF plenty to increase the size of their
farms, not only gave up all hope Of
saving their holdings, but actually lay
down to starve. A traveller who has
just passed through Nebraska says
that the early corn never came up at
all. There Is no grass, not even Buff
falo grass, for the little patches which
survived last summer have been eaten
by the furnishing heaFds. The coun-
try is dead baked brown, like the
Arizona plateaus. Farmers have kill
ed their stock to eat, and are abandon
ing their farms in search Of more hos
pitabIe homes. Others, who do not
know where to go, are living on the
weeds which grow around the mouths
OF their wells and their garden spots,
some of them have actually died of
starvation. A few are dispatching
piteous letters to Congress and to the
President yleading that the universal
ity OF their misfortunes makes il a
national concern, and that the nation
ought to relieve them.
1t is hard to see where relief is to

 Orange growers Tall over the state have reason to feel encouraged. In the more southern of the orange growing counties the trees are in good condition, and an average crop will be gathered this year. In the, orange belt the trees that were killed to the ground by the fneeze last February will not bear for two or three seasons, but the. groves are not ruined. Marion county is in the center of the orange growing region. The famous Harris grove is in this county, near the town of Citra. The trees in this grove were killed to the

 New York, Aug. 29.-Gold amounting to $1,500000 was deposited in the sub- treasury this morning by the managers of the government bond syndicate, who took in exchange for it United States notes.
 The deposit will bring up the govern ment gold reserve to nearly s102, GOO, 900. It stood at $1Oo, 432, ,943 at the close of business last night.
 Part of the gold deposited, 1t was thought to-day, might have been the $500, ,000 recently placed in the sub-treas- ury by the American Exchange Nation al bank, to be held subject to the or ders of the syndicate. This could not be verified at the sub-treasury. Rates of exchange this morning were decidedly firm, having entirely lost l their recent appearance of weakness | It was announced that w. H. Crossmar & Brother were contemplating ship. ment of 100000 in gold on Saturday as result of the change in the condi- | ton of the exchange market. l The gold for the shipment is expected | to be withdrawn from the sub-treas

Now that the electric road traverses the bank of this river lots have come into demand and values advanced. As many as twenty lots have been sold, and build ings already have started.

4 TRAMP as MAYOR.

Found in Possession of the Office of New YOrk's hiayor-Came in Through Win dow-His Administration n Short One, as He is Now on the Island.
 New York, Aug, 29,-The Astor tramp has been outdone by another member of the profession who left on an early boat to-day to stay for period in the workhouse Sn Blackwell's Island
 The Astor tramp merely slept in a millionaire's bed, but his rival for fame has sat at the desk where Mayor Strong directs the affairs of this great city.
 This aimless wanderer says his name is Andrew Bradley. When he has the luck to have a home, he says. he lives at " Wallabout street, Brooklyn.
 As the gray streaks of dawn stole in- to the mayors sanctum Tramp Bradley stole in with them through window which he opened from the outside.
 When Watchman John Larkin en- tered the office to raise the windows he found the strange caller standing listlessly by the mayors desk. He looked entirely unconcerned. He had neither disturbed nor appropriated anything, and acted as if he had merely i dropped in to make social call upon his honor. He was not in the mayors S room at 6 o'clock this morning, for Larkin says he entered at that hour and opened the shutters. | Half an hour later he went into the room again to open the windows. The light in the room was rather dim. The first thing that attracted his atten- ton was the open window. Then he saw the strange man there.
 He had just arisen from the mayors chair.
 Larkin went up to him and said "Who are your" The stranger replied "Why, am Andrew Bradley of 79 Wal. labout street, Brookglyn."
 How did you get in here?" said Larkin.
 Why I climbed up on the railing and reached the window and then lei myself in.''
 What do you want here, anyhow??' the watchman asked.
 "A police sergeant had told me was in need of a pair of pants" sai6 the intruder, land if I went to the mayors office I could get them. came down here early, so as not tt take any chances of not getting any.
 He meekly followed Larkin out of tht building.
 The man was poorly dressed. He dit need pair of trousers. Larkin es corted him to the Oak street police sta ton, where he was taken before Act ing Sergeont Cahill, who held the mal in the station house until court hours Then he was taken to the Tombs polio, court by Policeman Tallon of the City Hall station.
 When he was arraigned there Watch man Larkin said he did not think tn, man had tried to steal anything, st a charge of disorderly conduct wa, made against him.
 He stated that he did not think h, was doing anything wrong in crawlins into the office, as he was anxious tt get his trousers.
 Magistrate Crane decided to send hin to the workhouse. If this is his frs visit there he may be released afte, five days confinement.
 He was about thirty-five years of age and was so poorly dressed that hi clothes were almost falling off him.
