swept away, carrying before them the
trestle Just erected over the stream across
Union street. Thence the entire mass was
dashed up against two house's belonging to
Messrs. Campbell and Barnes, which had
been partially moved from their founda

then carried into the Little Sioux and
lodged against the temporary bridge just,

LN I'AVOli OF 1'ItOHlHlTIOJi.
Tlie Government Will Not Aid in Violat
ing: the Laws of Iowa.
A ruling of tlie internal revenue depart
ment of considerable importance to tlie
liquor dealers and all other people in Iowa
has been sent into the ofliceof United States
Collector Lothrop at Dubuque. la. It, is
in relation to the case of a saloonkeeper in
the interior of the state who a year ago last
May procured a government, license to sell
liquor, the license being taken out in the
name of another party. This being discov
ered, he was required to take out another
license in his own name, but made applica
tion through the collector for refunding the
money for the first license. This the com
missioner refused to do. The point, made
is that the federal government will not
countenance nor uphold violators of state
law. although exacting full compliance
with its own laws. Several similar cases
are pending. This is the first, ruling that
lias been made by the department in tills
state regarding tlie state law.
CHOI'S OF THE WOULD.
European and Asiatic Wheat Will Not lie
on the Market.
The London Time* summarizes tlie har
vest prospects of the world as follows:
In Russia there, isagravedelic.it peasantry
starving small hope ot relief. In India
there is serious anxiety, and famine pre
vails over a considerable portion of coun
try. Madras, Rajpunta and the Puii.jauli
are the worst sufferers. There is drought
in Bengal, and the need of more rain is
urgent. Bombay alone promises a good
harvest. The American harvest will be
good in quality and amount., but with the
failure of the Indian and Russian Supplies
it is of the most importance that the En
glish crop is not to be short. Tlie prospect
on the whole is good. In the chief wheat
counties, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, the
crop is above the average, and in the other
counties up to the average. The harvest,
will be late and the prices high, conse
quently a good outlook for the English
farmer to break the long series of disastrous
years.
OHIO THE ItATTLE GROUND.
Cleveland. Hill, I'efl'er and Simpson Will
Help Elect Campbell.
Gov. Campbell in speaking of the politi
cal outlook in Ohio, says: "The democrats
of Ohio arc thoroughly aroused. I expect
ex-l'resident Cleveland to lend a helping
hand iu Ohio tills time. He will be invited
to make six speeches. Gov. Hill will also
take a hand iu our campaign, as will also
Congressman Jerry Simpson and Senator
Pelter of Kansas. The two former gentle
men will be invited by the democratic party
while the two latter will be brought into
the state by tlie Farmers' Alliance. Tlie
latter party is very strong with us now and
they are hand in hand with tlie. democrats.
They will nominate no ticket this year."
Cat Ribs Make Noses.
R. D. Rowe, of Los Vegas, N. M., came all
the way to Decatur, 111., to have anew nose
bridge made for him out of cat ribs. He
broke his nose in childhood and he has been
anything but a beauty since. A doctor in
serted four ribs of freshly killed cats to
take the place of the decayed human bone.
Seven months ago Mrs. Addie D. Davis, who
had a broken nose, submitted to a similar
operation, and today her nose is as straight
and shapely as that of any belle. Tlie
grafting of cat ribs has been entirely suc
cessful.
He Drove the White Ilorse.
Interest iu the Cronin murder has been
revived by the story sent out from New
York in regard to 1'eter Dean, tlie man who,
l.lie story said, drove the famous white
horse- l'eter Dean is no myth and the New
York story is true in its most important, de
tails. The Chicago police are of the full
belief that it was Dean and no other who
drove the white horse which carried Dr.
Cronin to his doom. Tlie New York story
says Dean received $2,000 for keeping liis
mouth shut and was afterwards murdered.

FARMERS' WHEAT TRUST.
A Gigantic Scheme to Hold New Wheat
lor High Prices.
St. Paul has been the headquarters of the
national movement by the United Farmers'
Alliance to corner the entire wheat crop of
the country. At, No. 317 Wabysha street,
for several days a large force of employes
has been engaged in sending out circulars
with a view to helping all classes of farmers
keep back their wheat crop until the prices
have been advanced to a high point. The
plan is to unite the farmers in a gigantic
wheat, trust in which the producers shall he
tlie stockholders and by which the specula
tors and wheat buyers may be squeezed to
the wall. George M. Mullcr. editor of The
State and a prominent alliance man. is at
the head of tlie movement. The wheat, crop
of the Knifed States of 1801 is estimated at
"i0u,00).{)00 bushels and the promoters of the
farmers" trust believe that four-fifths of
from
it is
sky
been
alli-
this can be held back by the farmers
four to eight, weeks, by which time
thought prices will have gone
ward. Circulars have already
sent to the secretaries of the
ances in all the wheat growing states.
11. W. Ayer, secretary to President Polk,
of the farmers' alliance and manager of tlie
"reform press bureau," says the work of
sending out the circulars designed to show
the farmers of the country that it is their
advantage to hold back the wheat crop,
said in an interview at Washington that al
ready 400,000 of these circulars had been
sent out from Washington, and during a
few days an average of 100,000 a day will
mailed, until more than a million circulars
altogether are issued.
A TRUCE I.N TENNESSEE.
Miners Will Let Convicts Work "cTiitl 1 tlie
Legislature Settles the Matter.
Tlie Tennessee miners upon the advice of
their leaders have accepted the proposition
of Gov. Huchanan until the legislature can
be convened to settle the controversy about
the convicts being permitted to work. This
aid not meet with anything like universal
satisfaction, but the implicit confidence that
the miners have in their leaders was shown
by a unanimous vote to accept tlie report of
the committee on resolutions. The resolu
tions were that the convicts should be re
turned to the mines, the miners guarantee
ing that they should not be molested. The
militia is to be ordered home, and sixty
days will be. allowed to convene the legisla
ture. during which time no convicts shall
be molested and the miners, if necessary,
will place guards to see that the promises
are kept good. There is no longer any
doubt but that Gov. Buchanan will return
the convicts to the mines at Coal Creek and
Bryceville. Tlie. conference committee is
of the opinion that if they are returned
with only such guards as are necessary to
keep them in custody, there will be no in
terference with them until tlie legislature
has a meeting, but if the militia returns
with them they will have a conflict.

South Dakota's Divorce Boom.
Now that, a niece of
W a
Astor has
joined the divorce colony in Sioux Fails,
the South Dakota style of severing matri
monial bonds may become more popular
than heretofore. The elasticity of the
South Dakota divorce laws has r.p to this
time escaped the attention of ail but a
few wandering actors and actresses',
who li.ive not been slow to avail them
selves of the easy opportunities af
forded for forming new domestic ties.
Neither Rhode island nor Illinois can hope
to compete with South Dakota in the mat
ter of divorces, if once the tide of fashion
able would-be divorcees should begin run
ning strongly in that direction. Mine, de
Steurs, as the wife of a Relgian baron and
diplomat and tlie ncice of New York's fore

to tlie popularity of Sioux Falls in this re

I.*TIS NEIiKASKA NEWS.
Happenings of General Interest In the
Prosperous Commonwealth.
An officer of the Nebraska state banking
department said tlie loan aud building asso
ciations organized iu Nebraska have in gen
eral failed to make their reports to the
state officers as required by the new law.
Only two have so far complied, although
the law went into effect, July 4. It has been
hinted that the board will declare illegal
any business that may have been trans
acted by these delinquent associations be
tween July 4 and the time of issuing their
permits. The board is unable to tell the
number of associations doing business In
Nebraska, but it is thought the local organ
izations will number about forty. It is be
lieved that the national associations oper
ating in the state will exceed that number.
The board has begun a crusade against, the
nationalsbecau.se nouc thus far examined
have stood the test. They all seem to bo
organized for the purpose of providing big
salaries for the officers who manage them,
and in some of tlieni the members have
very little assurance against loss. It is be
lieved that very few. If any. of the nationals
will run the gauntlet and be permitted to
do business in Nebraska. There are several
such associations organized under the laws
of the state and having their headquarters
within its limits, but they will receive the
same treatment as other national associa
tions.
A Singular Mishap.
W. C. Brady was sitting iu tke bather's
chair at Fremont, where lie met with a sin
gular and very painful mishap. Tlie barber
"attempted to strike away a large bug which
was flying about, the chair, aud in doing so
the bug was knocked into tlie ear of Mr.
Brady, and it could not be ext ricated for
some time. He at, once started for tlie of
fice of a physician, suffering the most ex
cruciating pain and screaming in his agony.
Under the influence of chloroform, the
painful operation of removing the bug was
accomplished, being necessarily slow, and
it was not until it had been partially picked
to pieces that it was taken out.
The suffering during those two long hours
or more can hardly be imagined. The
cause of this suffering was one of the large
red June bugs, and the physicians cannot
understand how it managed to enter tlio
ear.
To Nominate lor Governor.
Somewhat of a sensation has been caused
