ster and many other counties elected
their candidate for treasurer, while
nearly everything else ven to the
populists. This must be because
honesty is Il scarce article among the
pops and there are enough of them
that realize it.-Riverton Review.
Prosperity has just struck the Blue
Hill Leader, and il has bulged out into
a larger paper. Hope it is not due to a
similar enlargement and new dress
that the Blue Hill Times INDUCED in
several years ago. The Times man
modestly acknowledged then that it
wasn't so much prosperity as it was a
Hastings mans lack Of knowledge of
draw poker, that permitted the Times
to spread out.-Beatrice Express.
Burglars entered the saloon Friday
night by cutting a hole in the door on
the south side and reaching inside and
removing the ~fastenings. They drilled
q hole in the door of the safe and put
in q charge of powder heavy enough
10 completely demolish the front Of the
safe. But their efforts to turn an
honest penny were fruitless, as the
proprietor is not in the habit of leaving
money in the safe over night. The
curious part of the affair is that no n
heard the noise Of the explosion for il
must have been a loud one from the
amount of powder that was evidently
used.-Guide Rock Signal.
"Old Moore's" prophetic almanac
iss usd In London for owe a century,
processes to forecast the most impor-
t~ant:events to happen in the world dur
ing the ensuing twelve months. II is
claimed that last year Old Moore fore.
casted to the very month the terrible
fire in the charity bazaar in Paris.
Taking courage from this lucky hit,
Ola Moore prophesies for 1893 a terri
BILE civil war In the United States, the
death Of the car OF Russia and the
successful kidnapping Of the young
king Of Spain. It also forecasted that
during OF about the second week OF
November, 1893, communication will
be established between this world and
the planet Mars. We would like to bet
Old Moore that he has not hit ones in
this atch.-Minneapolis Journal.
There was a railroad passenger
coach on u Wymore side track last
week that has quite a history attached
to it. II had on its side in gold letters
THE Cora Griswold" named after the
wife of its owner. Upon the inside
was seen the original name, Helvetin
and was made by Fields 4 Pullman
nearly forty years ago and was part OF
! the train that bore Abraham LincOln's
party to Washington when he was first
~inaugurated president in 1861. IL was
| originally built for the Erie when that
was III as "a broad gauge road. II is
eight inches wider than the standard
coach OF today and was purchased OF
Mr.. Pullman nine years ago. The
owner of the car, Mr., Grisvold, has

standard width, and rs much of the

coach attracted quite q little attention
while down at Wymore.-Beatric,

When an able bodied man comes I,
you with a tale Of hunger aud suffer
ing, and asks the price OF a meal, cas-
him into outer darkness. The worl
OF begging goes on, although there |
work for every man in the coinield
and elsewhere. The farmers are ran
sacking the country for workers, an,
cannot get enough. When a man de
liberately says that he can't get work
he deliberately lies; and such a man de
serves neither sympathy or aid, if he !
hungry and ragged. The winter will
sooH be upon US, and the city will b
called upon to provide fuel aud fodde
for the fellows who are too lazy L
shift for themselves. and it would be
very good thing if the city and char
table organizations would refuse All
solutely to help people of that charac
ter. The deserving poor, who suffe
through no fault Of their own, SHOULD
always have liberal assistance, but iii
an outrage upon society, and an injus
tice TO tax payers, TO help the loafer
who do nothing all the year round bu
lean against buildings and grust.-
