TIL E RIER

the efforts of a neighbor tightly cling
ing to her heels saved her from sliding
headforemost into the rapids. The
swift-swirling waters dizzied her. She
fell forward down the steep bank.
Throwing out her arms she saved her
self from flowing into the water when
her face was but a few inches from IL
and bubbles were breaking under her
nose. She had too much weight. 1t
was impossible to move without fall
ing into the torrent, and there she lay
until help arrived. A person on the
opposite bank saw her and signalled
to others, who effected the rescue.
40 Wives for Them.
club of Falls City young men. They
have organized for bachelorhood the
remainder of their days and the young
ladies look upon the movement with
considerable dismay and more disgust.
Naturally rules and bylaws have been
adopted and each member is pledged
to heed them. 1t is realized that dan
gers and temptations to wed are likely
to cross the various courses of the
members, where merely oral determi-
nation might fail them. Penalties of
an extreme nature have not yet been
agreed upon and probably will not un-
less symptoms of a breakdown appear.
At present the first violator of the
faith must climb a slender fifty foot
iron flag pole in the public square.
What will be done to him while he is
up there no written word gives hint.
A few ominous blanks betoken that he
will not be able to get down without
punishment and the public is left to
infer what sort of bombardment may
be expected.
Electric Lighted Farm Houses.
Farmers in Nebraska are prosperous
enough these days but it is rare to
find them using electric lights. Be-
tween Verdigree, Winnetoon and
Creighton this index of civilization Is
common. A sagacious miller put in
the plans at verdigree. His mill is run
in the day time by the river while at
night the power is diverted to the
plant So eager has been the demand

and asked for the men that had made
a trip to Titania that day of the
housekeeper who appeared almost in
stantly.
The boy was directed to their rooms
and on arriving there he turned the
stud over to the men.
On discovering that 1t really was
the stud that he had lost the man
reached down in his pocket and pulled
forth small bag of money. He re-
warded the boy with the neat sum of
a five dollar gold piece and offered the
boy life position with chances of
promotion.
The boy was willing to accept it,
yet he still thought that he was doing
no more than his duty, but the men
prevailed upon him until he had to
accept.
The spot where the boy had caught
the fish was soon after named the
Diamond Fish" resort, and a mag
nificent Park was soon established
there.

Od6 Bits OF
Debraska EM
Modern Young Ajax.

One of the curious capers of light
ming is a trick that was turned on a
farm west of Harrington the other
day. Black clouds approached which
gave indication Of wind. A nine-year-
old boy was sent pellmell to the wind
mill to shut off the gear. While he
was at the task lightning struck the
mill tower, descended to the head of
the boy, gamboled down his back and
into the ground. 1t ripped open the
boys clothes and split one Of his shoes.
Otherwise it did him no harm, aside
from giving him a fright and it gave
him a good excuse to beg for a new
suit of store clothes.

branches and managed to keep his
head out of water. When he was dis
covered he was unable to communicate
with the friends because of the roar of
the waters was so strong. But he clung

hours of IT he was saved. The calves
were drowned.
IrtaI FI...s of lightning.
A bolt of lightning plunked through
the roof of the house of Robert Thorn

bed of the sleeping owner. 1t did an
other curious thing at the same time.

Town Esrd Isc.atrG by FIyod.
Milk suddenly went to a premium at
Fairbury the other day. The floods
came Just in time to maroon a big herd
of cows in one of the pastures. Two
days passed before they were again in
their proper folds. A few boys one eve
ming relieved the stringency in the milk
market by guiding half a dozen of the
cows across the most favorable ford,
which was half a mile in width and
of an average of four feet in depth.
The shortage while it lasted was loud
ly signalled by the shrill yelps of
wretched babes.

essary to raise the dam for greater

An Ancient Heirloom.
An inkstand 161 years old is the
possession of Mrs. w. K. Richardson
of Verdon. This relic of past ages Is
not seen by many. 1t is of hewn gran
ite and has been handed down from
generation to generation since its Gre
alton in Scotland in the year 1741, the
date carved on one side. While the
stand shows some marks of it's great
age it is still solid, useful piece of
stone, choicely kept.
Saved by q Cat.
A cat to the rescue, 1t saved a
small boy from a merciless chewing by
a vicious dog and thereby achieved
little coveted revenge for previous per-
secutions. Plattsmouth was the car
mage ground. The seven-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Temper went
to the home of a neighbor on an er-
rand. Nobody was present but the big
dog which hastily began to make a
meal of the boy. He commenced at the
ankles and had succeeded in making
some ugly rents in the boys clothing
to the tune of ominous snarls, when
the cat saw the unequal proceedings.
Instantly with rush and spring she
scared into the shaggy coat of the ca
nine. The claws she had been sharp
ening for the brute sank deeply and
the dignity of snarls was turned to
the humiliation of yelps and a hasty
retreat. A gratified small boy made a
glad escape.

LACK OF CAPACITY
Serious Shortage in Pig Iron and
.. Steel Supply.
MARKET Is STRONGER THAN EVER
Ease With Which Pig Iron Trade
Can Be Disturbed Is the Most
Marked Feature.

Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 1.-the Iron
Trade Review says:
Each week adds 20 the strength of the iron
market and accents the inadeauacy of pig
iron and steel-makfng capacity to supply the
country's present demands. The course of the
market in the past week and the statistical
position of pig iron on Feb l, tell the same
story OF prodgous consumption beyond all
record and of production still tagging behind.
Statistics of pig iron output IND January ano
OF stock reductions between Jan. and Feb.
l, point to consumption in the first month of
the year at the rate of IS. COG gross tons
year, while blt st furnace capacity, active
on Feb. l, represents an output at the rate OF
about II 100000 tons year.
But we are not sure even Of this in
adequate capacity, the severe snowstorms of
last week having again deranged railroad
operations SO that many furnaces were COM
PEELED to bank for day or two for lack of
coke. In the valleys and the Pittsburg dis
trict this interruption is estimated to nave
cut down the pig-iron output by 5000 tons.
Conditions are better this week. but the
ease with which the trade can be disturbed
is still its D,ost marked feature. Both pig
iron and steel have advanced in the week and
buying of the former has been particularly
heavy in the Chicago district. A 20,000-ton
transaction in malleable pig is reported there,
and one for 10000 tens, in addition to other
round lots.
The demand for basic iron is not so strong
as in the preceding week, but the heavy addi-
lions to basic open-hearth steel capacity in
the past two years telling not only on the
basic pig iron market but upon that for
melting scrap. Foundry iron is advancing
! under good buying for the second half. One
estimate based on careful inquiry is that
two-t thirds of the foundry iron production for
the year is now under contract.

holiday, and following the steadiness ahfoa"'

ure. Then after hour the shorts began 10

sold to 751ac.
Liverpool closed 1ad higher. Broomhall at
tributed the strength at first to buying by
American houses but cabled later that there
was a good continental demand for wheat
cargoes. All sorts of talk Of export business
was heard. Philadelphia, st. Louis and Chi
Cago had inquiries and reported some Dusl-
ness. Philadelphia reported 100000 bushels
sold, but New York could do no business.
Shows were general in the extreme north and
northwest, and there were SHOWS in Iowa. The
Price Current finds no material change from
last week in winter wheat conditions. The
snow covering is favorable. The outlook In
general is fair to good but poor in the Ohio
valley.
Primary receipts were 753, 900 bushels
against 449,0 Geo bushels, and shipments S43,-
900 bushels, against $4,000 bushels. Wheat
and -four clearances for two days equaled $685.,
coo bushels Minneapolis received 80 cars
against 297 last year and Duluth had 127
against Al, the last years figures being for
two days
The market was very firm at the close. Tha
prospect of export business was very dis
concerning to the shorts as this is all that
has been needed to bring about change from
the extreme bearish sentiment. At the close
the traders were disposed to go very eau
tously either way pending confirmation OF
the reported export business. May wheat
closed at 75asG75@c; July, 761s@769sc; Jan
uary, 75c. Chicago May closed at 7Ses@7S&c.
There was an active cash market. Mliers
are still drawing little wheat out Of ee-
yators and are continued good buyers Of
spot milling wheat. May price was thesbasis
for ordinary lots of No. 1 northern in desir-
able cars, and Great Northern lots sold at
Il. to 12c under May. No. 2 northern brought
1890 for a good part, selling also at 731sc
and at 73&c The best of the offerings in all
grades were cleaned up early and did not
get the benefit of the extreme high range in
the option. No. 8 wheat sold from roc to
72a4c, averaging about 72c, the low figure
being for poor lots. Rejected sold at 69c
to Tic and no grade from Gle to Toe.
