Is this from the Osborne Farmer, q

eve can heartily concur in this
sentiment, which is exressed by the
Lincoln Republican: "Whlle a law
allows 9 democrat place on the board
Of railroad commissioners, it leaves 10
for republicans in the incoming
administration, to say whom the
democrats shall be He should be
one who is a democrat from conviction
and not one bought from the Pops by
promises of position"

About half past 10 O'Clock last
Wednesday evening the people of
Jewell were aroused by a blaze Of
light followed by a heavy explosion
that Jared the houses and made the
windows rattle. Many rushed out Of
doors to see what had happened, but
there was nothing TO be seen. Some
thought OF earthquake, others Of safe
blowers, but most people concluded
they had heard crack Of thunder.
The cause OF the explosion, however,
WAS large meteor which burst about
10 miles southwest Of this place. Mr..
Dlckman, driver in Wsgner's livery
barn, was taking a travelling man to
Beloit, and when they were about q
mile south Of the county line they
heard a great roar and every thing be-
came as light ss day. They looked
up aud saw big ball Of Gre coming
directly toward them from the east.
The horses were trottiDg but they
stopped, and stood trembling In sn
instant the meteor had passed over
them and the next instant there was
an explosion that shook the ground.
The meteor exploded in the air and
the fragments were doubtless hurled
many miles in oil directions Some
Of the Jewell people who saw the
light and heard the report think the
meteor was much farther away than
the above would indicate. judging b"
the time between the illumination and
the sound following They say sever.
al minutes elapsed bstween the two.

This explains the strange light
many Of our people saw on the night
