lumber yard, the bicycle factory and
three unoccupied livery barns were to-
tally destroyed by fire here. The origin

factory exploded, throwing pieces Of
burning timber and debris several hun
dred feet in the air. One piece fell on
the roof of the Buffalo County Ma
tional bank building, three blocks
away, and set fire to it, but was soon
~eXtinguished. The total loss is esti-
mated at S27, 500, with $500 insurance,
divided as follows: C. S. Seeley lumber
yard, loss, $4,000; insurance, $3.50.
K~earney Cycle and Machine company,
$4,000; insurance, $4,000. E. ]. Scott,

AFFAIRS IN NEBRASKA
Proud of Her Band Bows.

M'COOK, Neb., Oct. "a spontane-
BUS and enthusiastic ovation was ac-
corded the prize-winning Nebraska
brigade band of this city upon their
arrival here. AS the train pulled in
from Denver, where they won first
prize in the great carnival band con-
test, cannon roared, whistles sounded,
horns were blown and a brilliant
pyrotechnic display welcomed them.
The scene was most inspiring and
warmed the cookies of every heart
for the homecoming heroes. Headed
by the McCook drum corps, members
of the city council and citizens who
had gone to Akron, Colo, to meet
them, the band marched to the opera
house, where a brier word of welcome
was delivered, with a brief response.
The band acknowledged the reception
with a selection or two of their best
music. From the opera house the
band and invited guests repaired to
the Commercial hotel, where a ban
quet was spread for about 100 persons.
1t was one of the proudest occasions
in McCook municipal history.

THIS STATE IN BRIEF
Child Lost In strarstack.


AUBURN, Neb., Oct. 4.-The child
lost in Johnson county, Of which
mention was made recently,
in fact occurred in this county, and
was the son of Fred w. label, residing
about five miles west Of here. The
child was found by George Moren of
Johnson. 1t had been missing more
than sixty hours, and a large search
ing party had been out during that
time. An older brother told Mr.. Moren
that the last he saw of the little one
1t had left him near the house, saying
it was going to the straw stack to
hunt its kittie. Mr.. Moren and another
Of the searchers were sitting on the
straw stack talking over the peculiar
tanner In which the child had gotten
lost. They went to the top of the
stack, where they found a hole. Mr..
Moren was let down from the top into
the stack and thus located the child.
1t was so fastened down he could not
move it, but finally got hold of it's
feet and his companion dragged him
and the child out of the hole. Food
and other r~estoratives were applied
and 1t is on the road to a certain re-
covery. 1t had been without food for
more than sixty hours. The straw
stack in which it was found was less
than 100 yards from it's home, and the
stack had been searched many times
by different persons.

State Board Takes a Hand.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 9.-Acting in
the capacity of the State Board of
Health, DR.. J. E. Summers, jr., has
filed a complaint in county court,
charging that A. Gillett and M. E.
about pretending to heal the sick, and
that in doing so they are pursuing a
course that is in direct violation of
law. The allegation is made that
neither of the men charged with vio-
lating the laws of the state is learned
in the medical profession. 1t is also
charged that neither possesses GER
tificates from any medical college and
that there is nothing to indicate that
either can heal or cure the sick.
DR.. Summers alleges that Gillett
pretends to be a magnetic healer and
that the other lays no claims to pos
Sessing any healing power. 1t is
charged that the two men pretended
to cure one John Alstrand of his ills.
Warrants have been issued and the
offenders will be brought into court
as soon as found.

Laboring under a delusion is an I'M
profitable job.
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FREE.

One of the Grandcst Offers Ever Made.
The first five persons procuring the
Endless Chain Starch Book from their
grocer will each obtain one large 1Oc
package of Red Cross" starch, n
large 10c package of "Hubinger's Best
starch, two Shakespeare pictures print
ed in twelve beautiful colors, as natur-
al as life, or one Twentieth Century
Girl calendar, the finest of its kind
ever printed, all absolutely free. All
others procuring the Endless Chain
Starch Book will obtain from their
grocer two large 10c packages of starch
for &c, and the beautiful premiums
which are being given away. This Of
fer is only made for a short time to
further introduce the famous Red
Cross" starch and the celebrated HUI
binger's Best" cold water starch. Red
Cross" laundry starch is something en-
tirely new, and is without doubt the
greatest invention of the twentieth
century. 1t has no equal, and surpasses
all others. 1t has won for itself praise
from all parts of the United States. 1t
has superseded everything heretofore
used, or known to science in the laun-
dry art. 1t is made from wheat, rice
and corn, and is chemically prepared
upon scientific principles by Mr.. ]. G.
Hubinger, an expert in the laundry
profession, who has had twenty-five
years practical experience in fancy
laundering, and who is the first sue
cessful and original inventor of all fine
grades of starch in the United States.
If you would have the best, ask for
RED Cross and "Hubinger's Best"
which are the finest starches on the
market today.
The jobbing houses all handle it, the
retail grocer has it on his shelves, you
find it in all the homes, while the care
full housewife has adorned the walls of
the home with the beautiful Shakes
peare pictures which are being given
away in introducing Red Cross and
"Hubinger's Best" starch.

Threshing Outfit and Grain Burn.

HASTINGS, Neb., Oct. 4.-Fire de-
stroyed a brand new $1,000 steam
threshing outfit belonging to C. A.
Day, and seven stacks of grain be-
longing to Conrad Knapp, who lives
n mile northwest of Hastings. Az
the threshing had not been COM
menced on Knapp's farm and no fire
had been started in the engine, the
whole thing smells of incendiarism.
Sheriff Simmering placed G. G. Chris
Jensen and two sons, Axtell and Wal
ter, under arrest, on a warrant sworn
out by G. A. Day, but as there was nc
evidence furnished, Mr.. Christensen
and two sons were released on their
W bond to appear Monday, October
9, when they will have their hearing.
1t seems that G. A.. Day had bought
two-thirds. of the steam threshing out
fit from Christensen, and that Christ
ensen still retained an interest of one
third. 1t is said that some trouble
grew out Of this partnership business,
as Christensen insisted that the farm
ers must pay him one-third of the
price agreed upon for the work, and
Day equally insisted that the farmers
must pay him the full amount as per
agreement.

McKinIey,s Intervention Asked.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Charles D.
Pierce, consul general of the Orange
Free State, today received a cable
gram relative to affairs in the Trans
vaal. Consul Pierce said that the ca
BILE was of such a nature that he could
not make it public, but he was at lib
erty to say that the president of the
Orange Free State had made an in
effectual effort to induce President Nc
Kinley to request other powerful ma
tons to act with the United States as
arbitrators between England and the
Transvaal. Mr.. Pierce said that the
warm and close relations between
Great Britain and the United States
prevented President Mckinley moving
in so a momentous a matter.

Will END the Case.

HASTINGS, Neb., Oct. 4.-The suit
in mandamus brought by J. S. Will
liams, editor of the Hastings News,
against Sheriff John J. Simmering to
compel an inspection of the sheriff's
fee book, was decided on demurrer to
the plaintiffs petition. The argumen.
urged by the sheriff's attorneys was
that the petition failed to show that
Williams had any interest in the
books or records that he sought to in
spect, and that the petition generally
did not state facts to sustain an ap-
plication in pandamus. The proba-
bility is that this will end the case.
