terestcd In seeing what Lincoln looked
like. rs IL is to be the congress city.
He said i've was surprised to see such a

incoming delegates would leave the
state with a better appreciation OF
Nebraska's resources and especially a
better knowledge of the class Of pco'
Pile which makes its home in the state.

''Thc. coming promises tO

of its organization. Over $50 papers
outside the state Of Nebraska have
been advcr' ising Lincoln for the past
three months ~ the convention city OF
the national congress and we have
promises Of attendance from all over
the country. One reason why the con
grcss is of 50 much Importance to Ne

chased here for one-tenth what land
buyers wound have to pay in Califor-

preciate in value and foreseeing that
the state can be irrigated and abun-
dant crops assured regardless of the
lack OF moisture eastern men will put
their money in western land and your
properly will increase in value with
each purchase. The congress will
bring many financial men to the state,

a Suspicious Death,

James A. Paterson, m old resident of
Little Salt precinct, died Mt his home,
three miles northwest OF Raymond on
Wednesday last. AS Mr.. Patterson
had not been i'll the circumstances of
his death were deemed suspicious and
the coroner was notified.
Several neighbors were summoned
to testify. They knew very little. A
hired man who was working on the
farm also testified. 1t developed from
their stories that the deceased had in
tended to go to Omaha To St. about
some sheep. His wife objected, and
they had a heated argument. DIR. Polk
conducted an autopsy and examined
the stomach. lie testified that Mr..
Patterson's death vas undoubtedly
caused by arsenical poison. lie was
unable to tell whether it was due to
pure arsenic or Rough on Rats.
From the stories of the neighbors
it vas learned that Mrs. Patterson's
actions have been somewhat erratiC
and some of them doubted IL she were
responsible. They did not think she
would have done anything against her
husband IL she were in her right mind,
but they thought she might have been
suffering from temporary alteration.
One of her first acts after her husbands
death was to ask about the settlement
Of the estate.
The jury found that the deceased
had died of q drastic poison, but did
not lay the cause at the door of any
one.
Mr.. Patterson was about seventy
years Of age. lie had considerable
property and stood well in his neigh.
borhood, where he has lived for a long
time. He leaves several children.

New YORK. Sept. e. r. @. Dun &
Co. S Weekly Review of Trade saws
Gold imports have begun direct from
England and from France, besides the
arrival OF $4,000, 900 at San Francisco
from Australia for wheat exported.
The gold received there and
started from Europe amounts to
81, 500,O0b In four days. and the
advance OF its rate by the Bank OF
England to 21i per cent seems little
likely to check the movement, in view
OF heavy merchandise balances due
this country and a rise in the rate of
interest here. The August excess Of
merchandise and specie exports over
imports was not far from sac, 900, OOb.
and the September excess will evi.
IDENTIFY be larger, unless shipments Of
gold are considerable.
Bradstreet's says: 'Thcre Is a check
to the onward sweep of demand in
