They hare already pur- chased lots ia the second ward. County Attoz&e J. L Neabitt has accepted an invitation to deliver the oration at Cozad on the Fourth, at which point the people are to have a ronsing celebration. North Platte is frtmihing its share of oratorial talent this year. A. F. Streitz returned Wednesday from Grand Island, where he had been to attend a meeting of the PTamiaing committee of the Nebraska State Board of Pharmacists, of which committee he is First Ylce-Preside- nt. Jim Henderson aad M. L. McCcllogh were in from Elsie the early part of the week. We under- stand the boys have struck it rich, the town site .having been laid out on land very near their claims. ilise Carrie Bowen arrived home late last week from Peru, where she has been attending the State formal SchooL At the commeaeement exercises M Bcxen read an essay entitled, "Current and Foam." which was highly praised by the large number present. She graduated from the higher department. This oEce is in receipt of an invitation an- nouncing the comiag wedding- - nnpdals of IL D. Lamsoa and 3Lisa Flora Blackburn, the cere-.mo- ay to occur next Wednesday at York. Miss Blackburnis well known in this city, having taught in the schools for several years. The couple will make their home in El wood, Gosper county. Mr. aad Mrs. J. EL Byerly oa Tuesday evening very pleasantly entertained the BC aad D classes of the lush school, the pupils over whom Mr. B. presided during the past year. It is scarcely aecesgary to state that the eveainc was most happily spent nr that those attending will ever remember it with pleasure. Miss Nellie Conway aad J. Kirk Baldwin were quietly aad unostentatiously joined in holy wed- lock Thursday morning at St. Patrick's church, at about 10 o'clock, by Father Conway, brother of the bride. Miss Katie Conway performed the oSce of bridesmaid aad P. J. Conway that of groom. The only others who witaessed the cere- - mony were Mary Coaway, Katie Moraa. Julia Schatz, Mary Bedmoad.

Neely arrived in this city Monday aad proceeded to the Plant ranch south of the city where they will make their home. This couple were married at La Salle. EL. oa tne gth iast. Mr. Neely is well known in North Platted having at one time been book-keep- er in Foley's store, and later occupied a similar posi- tion ia Mr. Beardaa's office. Shortly after the death of his brother-in-la- w, H. B. Plant, Mr. Neely left the desk and accepted the superintead-enc- y of the Plant ranch, a position he is now holding. The bride, who was Miss Jennie Treat, is known to a number of our people, hav- ing visited in the city last yerx. She is a lady of intelligence aad charming and well adopted to fill the position of a model wife. To this couple Ths TsiBim extends its most hearty wishes for a lone Ble fall of joy and happiness. During the pae t week a number of bad holes in the side streets have been filled with dirt. Our streets in the coarse of rime will be in ex- cellent condition. The favored spot in Lincoln county this year o far seems to be the Sad Willow country where all kinds of crops are flourishing. There has been enough raiasofar this season for all kinds of vegetables. Several persons just returned from Colorado report an extensive and severe drouth in that state. Tn those places where they have irrigating1 canals- - there are some fears that the water will give out. Water is very low ia the upper Platte river. Dave Potter was in from the Bird wood Friday proving up on his homestead. He reports a large emigration into that part of the county. Henry Wilkinson we believe is the first to ship wool from this paint this season. He brought in a large wagon load yesterday. Fishing on the Birdwoodis not so good as it was, but bathing- in Lamplngh's lake is said to be good. The sidewalk on the north side of Fifth st. is Trmfe-fn?- r rapid progress. That thoroughfare wQl shortly be the "Boulevard" of the city. There is a well founded rumor Soaring around that ia less thm sixty days fifty additional men will be put to work in the shops in this city. Most of the contest cases now instituted oa land in the eastern part of this district are of consider- able importance, as the land becomes more vain-ab- le the fight for possession being waged with more Mai and warmth. It took over a week lately to take the testimony in a contest on a peice of Tariff lyinc near Guthenburg. The books and the work of transcribing the records for the Sidney land office are about com- pleted, and it is expected they will be ready for fMiTj?-- r bv the first or second of July.

It U oat of the order of things to havs what may be termed a "heated term" in June, but that 1 what wa have had this year. Last week was a Kcorcher all over the country, being several de gree hotter ia Illinois than the hottest day of Iaatymr. The tempera rare at this place was not a high as we have experienced on several occa sions, but owing to peculiar conditions of the at mosphere, aad especially the wind, it seemed to be very oppressive. The hot wave having passed the temperature has resumed its normal condition for this season of the year. A number of people had. a big ffrr we might y a high time at Lamplngh's falri last Sanday. In the morning a wagon loaded with beer aad decorated with flags arid evergreens, paraded the streets and was seen to go out of town in the direction of the North River bridge. It waa soon followed by the desciples of Gara-bria- aa, and from the number of carriages that went out during the day a TnathPTwatTcffm fig- ured up the number at seventy they are evi- dently legion. The day was epent by ths picnic-er- a ia a very happy manner in boating, in song and games, and ic Several ludicrous scenedl took place. One gentleman of huge proportions riding in aboat with some women, was accident ally thrown in the water, creating a tidal wave that imperilled the lives of proaienaders upon the gravelly beach. Another gentleman acci dentally fell froia a boat and became en tousled in the sea weed, for a time arousing- - ftra of drowning. He was gallantly rescued and soon recovered from the effect of his involuntary bath. The festivities continued nnrH quite a late hour in the evening. Owing to the poor accoustic properties of the nTiera hrtro Tmr Tai m:vr trnrrTr? smrrtrnt- - tn ' manager Lloyd that in the future when there is to be a rendition of vocal and instrumental music he allow the piano to be placed on the stage. Only those who have had experience realize how difficult it is to sing when on a level with the audience; when vocalists go to the trouble of pre- paring music they naturally desire to render it in the best possible manner and if there is any pos sible assistance that might add to their benefit it should be granted. In behalf of those who kindly consent to famish music for public enter- tainments this suggestion is made with the hope that it will be favorably acted upon. There was a good attendance at the Presby terian church Sunday morning to hear the chil dren's services. Sunday, June 12th, was ob- served among the Presbyterian churches through- out the country as children's day, but on account of a delay in receiving music and paper, the schoolln this city was forced to postpone their services untn last Sunday. The singing, recita- tions, etc, by the little folks was very good and appreciated by the audience. Bev. Gring also delivered an address to the children. The pyrotechnic display on Fourth of July evening wfll be the largest and finest ever seen in this city, severalhundred dollars having been in- vested in fire works of different designs. The display this year wfll be confined to large pieces, costing from $5 to $25 each. It wfll be worth corning from a distance to CE. Osgood returned from Iowa Sanday with a three-year-o- ld Cleveland Bay Stallion, which in the opinion of the hoss editor of this journal is one of. the finest ever imported into this county. Mr. Osgood examined a number of herds in Illinois and Iowa and finally selected this one. The animal at preseat weighs over 1300. is dark in color, excellently formed, has re markably fine action, and is free of any blemish whatever. Andrew Flynn died Tuesday of infiamarlon of the bowels at the Denver railroad hospital to which institution he was taken several week's ago. The deceased was employed aa an engineer between Grand Island and this city for six or seven years and was wen known to oar - people. The remains were taken to Grand Island Thurs- day for interment. The people of OgaUala are to have a big cele bration there on the Fourth a celebration by the people. Judge A. H. Church of this city has been invited to deliver the oration and has ac- cepted the invitation. Judge Church's" fame as n orator is extending. He wfll give the people of Keith County an oration worthy of hearing and worthy of the day. SmaU grain and vegetables are not growing as they should, the trouble being not so much for the waat of rain bat on account of high winds and hot weather. Corn has stood the trying or- deal weU aad looks spleadid. The weather for several days past has been comparatively cooL and the atmospheric indications are favorable for rain. Thnrsday evening there appeared to be an extensive rain fall west and south of us, but at this point it was light. A big general rain is what is wonted. A fire broke out it the rear of Bird's barber shop Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock aad the few persons who happened to be in the vicinity had quite a lively time forlsome ten minutes or such a matter. The fire was soon subdued, without causing much damage. It appears to have originated from the furnace used to heat water for the bathroom, aad is the second oae that aas come from that source. "The Fair News" is the name of a neat little daily thoZ is being published by the Citholics during their Loir week. The editors have made it right spicy Of course it is printed at Thz THrBOTt office. The Gothenburg Independent learns that Postmaster Spannnth, of the post office bearing his name, wfll be before the Lincoln County Republican convention as a candidate for sheriff. There seem to be more candidates for that office than for any other on the list. Remember we have the largest and most com- plete stock of Furniture, in the city aad we defy anyone in that line to rmr?s11 us. Prom the number of broken carriages and buggies, Sunday picnics should be popular with blacksmiths and wagon makers. They have been busy making repairs this week- - Several of our livery men became uneasy at ths protracted absence of their teams last Sun- day. One man went out to see what was the TtntTar nncT mnrlmlptj ho cUrln'fc grv any tm SOCn. Otterstedt, Hershey Sr Co. have erected a Goodhne windmfll in front of their ware rooms and a watering trough is placed where thirsty animals can have water at any hour of the day. Farmers and teamsters are thankful for thfs act of tnmjrww to the dumb brutes. The Daily Fair News gave our public spirited people a lecture on the 21st. The News would have our people wake up. Some of them have been'asLeep, sure enough. In spite of. the efforts to stop them, parties are stfll obstructing the irrigating ditch aad over- flowing the land above the difference being that they work in the night time now. These noctur- nal fishermen may be caught yet. There has been an unusual amount of drunk- enness about the city for the past week- - Land-gr- af it Waltemath's saloon is frequently a place cf boisterous merriment; and the near neighbors are beginning to consider it a general nuisance. As a atriag wind-u- p of the day a public ball wfll be given at the opera house on the evening- - of the Fourth. The probabilities are it wfll be a warm night, but this wfll not deter any from going. The temperature has no effect on North Platte people. Only a few more Quick Meal Gasoline Stoves left and we cannot get any more until July 20th. rail early before they are gone. Cq:tsfat Keith. Mr. Dixon, the popular livery man in the Third Ward, has found it necessary to enlarge his stable on account of increase of business. The livery business is in a flourishing condition. Prof. Aflwine wfll shortly open a private school in the central school building, thus affording scholars an opportunity to go ahead with the studies they pursued during the past term. The game of bafl on the Fourth between the C. hi Mayne club of Omaha and the nine of rh?" city wfll undoubtedly be a good one. Playing wfll beginat half past four in the afternoon. MUEDKK. Fred Fischer Killed st hie Brady Isittd. On Sunday last Fred Fischer wae foasd dead in the brush near his house onlkady Tsfond. He had evidently been murdered-Ther- e is considerable mvstery surroaad- - ins: the case. The coroner's jury ia still in. session, and onlv outside testimony cam be sutnered. It appears that on 3Ionday,the 13th, Fischer went up to the house of oae Mo-ra- nt, who Eves on the island some sevea, or eight miles up the river from Fischer's,. to getsome tools to put aomx a wen. ma stayed at Xorant's over night, returning' home Tuesday mornins. benur accom panied part way by Louie Eeyant, alias French Louie, "who lives two or three miles east of ilorant's. He had made ar rangements to commence drivina a "wel- l- pipe "Wednesday morning, and John: Johnson, who was to nelp nim in tne work, went to Fischers house, ana stayed until nearly noon, when Fischer not ap peanne, ne concmaea cnat r iscner naa gone to loo it alter ni3 nsn. lines, it iscner was a great fisher). Returning on Thurs day Fischer was sun aosent, ana naaap-parent-ly not been at the house since Johnson had left there the dav before. i. neighbor by the name of Abercombrie, who lives two miles below, called about the same time, and some search was made ior x iscner. o trace couiu oe louna, and other neighbors were notified The search was continued Friday and Satur day without suoaess. On Sunday John Shuey and Gus Goerkey came over from the south side of the nver to use ifiscners branding chute to brand some cattle. Goerkey had at one time been employed about the National cemetery, and it was not long before he detected the unmistak- able smell that em mates from a decaying corpse. The body was soon found in the brush some four or five rods from the corral in an advanced stage of decompo- sition. Information was immediately telegraphed to this city, and Sheriff Haley, in th.e absence of Coroner Streitz, accom- panied by Attorney STesbitt, Drs. Donald- son and Longley, and E. B. Warner, started early .Honday morning for the scene of the tragedy. An examination" of the remains led the fact that the man had been shot throngh the body, the ball en- tering a little to the right "of the center just below the heart, passing out by the side of and tearing away a portion of the backbone. The back of the skull at the base of the brain had been smashed with some blunt instrument. The murder had apparently taken place near the corral, and the body dragged by the feet through the brush to th"e place where it "was found, the shirt being pulled up around the neck, and one boot nearly ofiL The trail could be easily traced through the brush, but all traces of blood and evi- dences of a struggle had been carefully removed from objects near the corral, a bunch of weeds in one place having been cut and carried away, probably to conceal blood The dead man's pipe and hat were missing, and could net be found It is evident the murder had not been committed for money. Nothing about the house was disturbed About five dollars in money was found in his trunk. From these circumstances a motive is hard to find, although certain things have aroused suspicions, but nothing has yet developed that will warrant arrest. The coroner's jury consists of Drs. Longley & Donaldson, "Wm. Plumner, E. B. Warner, Joshua Snyder and Abram Brooks. Some testimony was taken on the spot, but the jury returned to this city, and was in ses- sion Tuesday afternoon, adjourning until the 30th ins The jury is determined to get all the evidence that will possibly throw any light as to the probable perpe- trator of the crime. . Frederick: Fischer was a German by birth, about fifty years of age, and was one ot the early settlers of this county, having been about Fort IePherson at an early day, taking a claim on the island where he was killed some seventeen years ago. He was unmarried The body was buried under a large cotton-woo- d tree said to be the largest tree on Brady Island near his house, where Fred had often expressed a wish to be buried He has no relatives in this vicin- ity. . A Fortunate Eargain. A quartette of young gentlemen one of them is married, but scarce a twelve- month has passed since the golden knot was tied, and the others are about to enter the Benedictine ranks made a fortunate bargain Wednesday. Learning that the Xorth Platte Town Lot Company had the refusal of Block 8 in Hinman's addition at $1,000 for a certain length of time, they made the proposition and secured an ac- ceptance that if the company didn't come to time they would take the block at the same price. The lot company of course intended to take the block, but other ne- gotiations lagging, they negligently ne- glected to bind the bargain. "When "they learned that the time had expired, the boys didn't let any grass grow under their feet until they had the biirgain clinched. It is a very fine property, and three new houses are expected to" be built thereon in a short time. The Nebraska Farm Loan and Trust Com- pany of North Platte.

Warren Lloyd's petition asking that the license tax on the opera house be re- duced was taken up and it waa agreed that the tax for the current year should be remitted This raised the question of egrees from the building, all being unan- imous that the present facilities for gptting out of the building in case of fire or panic were entirely inadequate. After a brief discussion a motion was adopted requiring 3Ir. Lloyd to construct a door eight feet wide on the west side opening outward. The communication of the Sperry Electric Light Company relating to street lights, alsooming up as unfinished busi- ness, its consideration was deferred ilatt Hook tendered his resignation as councilman from the Third ward, which was accepted The proposal of the city publishers relating to publishing ordinances and such other matter as maybe required by the city was read and accepted It pro- vides that the publishing shall be done in the three papers for one legal rate.

This re- minds us of the dangers of water. Butter has become almost a drug not only in this market but all over. In Den ver, usually a high marked it is a prime article that will bring thirteen cents, while Omaha, St. Joe and other Missouri river markets are still lower. In our market a good article has been bringing 25 cents on contract with families, but the price has now fallen to about 20 cents. Good prime butter will keep and always bring a good price, but unfortunately most of our people are not fixed for mairfng choice butter, and have no facilities for keeping it made. The consequence is they are obliged to force their products in the market when, there 3 the greatest supply, and the price falls way below remuner- ative returns. At present our merchants cannot ship, there being no demand and most of our people being supplied by pri- vate parties, there is very little retail trade. During the last week there have been sev- eral instances of parties bringing butter long distances and were obliged to take it home again. This is unfortunate, but it is not the fault of our merchants, who would willingly buy if they could possibly get it oh! their hands.

During the paet week a number of bad holesin the side streets have been filled with dirt.Our streets in the coarse of rime will be in ex-

cellent condition.

The favored spot in Lincoln county this yearo far seems to be the Sad Willow country where

all kinds of crops are flourishing. There hasbeen enough raiasofar this season for all kindsof vegetables.

Several persons just returned from Coloradoreport an extensive and severe drouth in thatstate. Tn those places where they have irrigating1canals-- there are some fears that the water willgive out. Water is very low ia the upper Platteriver.

Dave Potter was in from the Birdwood Fridayproving up on his homestead. He reports a largeemigration into that part of the county.

Henry Wilkinson we believe is the first to shipwool from this paint this season. He brought ina large wagon load yesterday.

Fishing on the Birdwoodis not so good as itwas, but bathing- in Lamplngh's lake is said to begood.

The sidewalk on the north side of Fifth st. isTrmfe-fn?- r rapid progress. That thoroughfare wQlshortly be the "Boulevard" of the city.

There is a well founded rumor Soaring aroundthat ia less thm sixty days fifty additional menwill be put to work in the shops in this city.

Most of the contest cases now instituted oa landin the eastern part of this district are of consider-

able importance, as the land becomes more vain-ab- le

the fight for possession being waged withmore Mai and warmth. It took over a week lately

to take the testimony in a contest on a peice ofTariff lyinc near Guthenburg.

The books and the work of transcribing therecords for the Sidney land office are about com-

pleted, and it is expected they will be ready forfMiTj?-- r bv the first or second of July. ThaSid--neyites celebrate the Fourth with a new landeffice.

Bev. Gring lectured at the Presbyterianchurch ngi" Sanday evening; giving a descrip-

tion of the Japanese country, cn-rat-e, govern-

ment. Ac. We thought some of gring- - over toJapan to spend our summer vacation, but afterhearing his description don't believe we will--

A Uul green apple hang up in a tree,Callla Johnie. come Johaie, come Johnie;

And It was a modest as modest could be.Calling Johnie, come Johnie. come Johniet

And Johnie came in his sweet childish way.And he ate up that fruit as his own lawful prey.Thrt angels in heaven are singing to-d-ay r

Here's Johnie, here's Johnie here's Johnie.

Hot "Weather.It U oat of the order of things to havs what

may be termed a "heated term" in June, but that1 what wa have had this year. Last week was aKcorcher all over the country, being several degree hotter ia Illinois than the hottest day ofIaatymr. The tempera rare at this place was nota high as we have experienced on several occasions, but owing to peculiar conditions of the atmosphere, aad especially the wind, it seemed tobe very oppressive. The hot wave having passedthe temperature has resumed its normal conditionfor this season of the year.

A number of people had. a big ffrr wemight y a high time at Lamplngh's falri lastSanday. In the morning a wagon loaded withbeer aad decorated with flags arid evergreens,paraded the streets and was seen to go out oftown in the direction of the North River bridge.It waa soon followed by the desciples of Gara-bria- aa,

and from the number of carriages thatwent out during the day a TnathPTwatTcffm fig-

ured up the number at seventy they are evi-dently legion. The day was epent by ths picnic-er- a

ia a very happy manner in boating, in songand games, and ic Several ludicrous scenedltook place. One gentleman of huge proportionsriding in aboat with some women, was accidentally thrown in the water, creating a tidal wavethat imperilled the lives of proaienaders uponthe gravelly beach. Another gentleman accidentally fell froia a boat and became entousledin the sea weed, for a time arousing- - ftra ofdrowning. He was gallantly rescued and soonrecovered from the effect of his involuntary bath.The festivities continued nnrH quite a late hourin the evening.

Owing to the poor accoustic properties of thenTiera hrtro Tmr Tai m:vr trnrrTr? smrrtrnt- - tn 'manager Lloyd that in the future when there isto be a rendition of vocal and instrumental musiche allow the piano to be placed on the stage.Only those who have had experience realize howdifficult it is to sing when on a level with theaudience; when vocalists go to the trouble of pre-paring music they naturally desire to render it inthe best possible manner and if there is any possible assistance that might add to their benefitit should be granted. In behalf of those whokindly consent to famish music for public enter-tainments this suggestion is made with the hopethat it will be favorably acted upon.

There was a good attendance at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning to hear the children's services. Sunday, June 12th, was ob-

served among the Presbyterian churches through-out the country as children's day, but on accountof a delay in receiving music and paper, theschoolln this city was forced to postpone theirservices untn last Sunday. The singing, recita-tions, etc, by the little folks was very good andappreciated by the audience. Bev. Gring alsodelivered an address to the children.

The pyrotechnic display on Fourth of Julyevening wfll be the largest and finest ever seen inthis city, severalhundred dollars having been in-

vested in fire works of different designs. Thedisplay this year wfll be confined to large pieces,costing from $5 to $25 each. It wfll be worthcorning from a distance to

CE. Osgood returned from Iowa Sandaywith a three-year-o-ld Cleveland Bay Stallion,which in the opinion of the hoss editor of thisjournal is one of. the finest ever imported intothis county. Mr. Osgood examined a number ofherds in Illinois and Iowa and finally selectedthis one. The animal at preseat weighs over1300. is dark in color, excellently formed, has remarkably fine action, and is free of any blemishwhatever.

Andrew Flynn died Tuesday of infiamarlonof the bowels at the Denver railroad hospital towhich institution he was taken several week'sago. The deceased was employed aa an engineerbetween Grand Island and this city for six orseven years and was wen known to oar - people.The remains were taken to Grand Island Thurs-day for interment.

The people of OgaUala are to have a big celebration there on the Fourth a celebration by thepeople. Judge A. H. Church of this city hasbeen invited to deliver the oration and has ac-

cepted the invitation. Judge Church's" fame asn orator is extending. He wfll give the people

of Keith County an oration worthy of hearing andworthy of the day.

SmaU grain and vegetables are not growing asthey should, the trouble being not so much forthe waat of rain bat on account of high windsand hot weather. Corn has stood the trying or-

deal weU aad looks spleadid. The weather forseveral days past has been comparatively cooLand the atmospheric indications are favorable forrain. Thnrsday evening there appeared to be anextensive rain fall west and south of us, but atthis point it was light. A big general rain iswhat is wonted.

A fire broke out it the rear of Bird's barbershop Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock aad thefew persons who happened to be in the vicinityhad quite a lively time forlsome ten minutes orsuch a matter. The fire was soon subdued,without causing much damage. It appears tohave originated from the furnace used to heatwater for the bathroom, aad is the second oaethat aas come from that source.

"The Fair News" is the name of a neat littledaily thoZ is being published by the Citholicsduring their Loir week. The editors have madeit right spicy Of course it is printed at ThzTHrBOTt office.

The Gothenburg Independent learns thatPostmaster Spannnth, of the post office bearinghis name, wfll be before the Lincoln CountyRepublican convention as a candidate for sheriff.There seem to be more candidates for that officethan for any other on the list.

Remember we have the largest and most com-plete stock of Furniture, in the city aad we defyanyone in that line to rmr?s11 us.

Prom the number of broken carriages andbuggies, Sunday picnics should be popular withblacksmiths and wagon makers. They have beenbusy making repairs this week--

Several of our livery men became uneasy atths protracted absence of their teams last Sun-day. One man went out to see what was theTtntTar nncT mnrlmlptj ho cUrln'fc grv any tm SOCn.

Otterstedt, Hershey Sr Co. have erected aGoodhne windmfll in front of their ware roomsand a watering trough is placed where thirstyanimals can have water at any hour of the day.Farmers and teamsters are thankful for thfs actof tnmjrww to the dumb brutes.

The Daily Fair News gave our public spiritedpeople a lecture on the 21st. The News wouldhave our people wake up. Some of them havebeen'asLeep, sure enough.

In spite of. the efforts to stop them, partiesare stfll obstructing the irrigating ditch aad over-flowing the land above the difference being thatthey work in the night time now. These noctur-nal fishermen may be caught yet.

There has been an unusual amount of drunk-enness about the city for the past week- - Land-gr- af

it Waltemath's saloon is frequently a placecf boisterous merriment; and the near neighborsare beginning to consider it a general nuisance.

As a atriag wind-u- p of the day a public ballwfll be given at the opera house on theevening- - of the Fourth. The probabilitiesare it wfll be a warm night, but this wfll notdeter any from going. The temperature has noeffect on North Platte people.

Only a few more Quick Meal Gasoline Stovesleft and we cannot get any more until July 20th.rail early before they are gone.

Cq:tsfat Keith.Mr. Dixon, the popular livery man in the Third

Ward, has found it necessary to enlarge hisstable on account of increase of business. Thelivery business is in a flourishing condition.

Prof. Aflwine wfll shortly open a private schoolin the central school building, thus affordingscholars an opportunity to go ahead with thestudies they pursued during the past term.

The game of bafl on the Fourth between theC. hi Mayne club of Omaha and the nine of rh?"city wfll undoubtedly be a good one. Playingwfll beginat half past four in the afternoon.

Fred Fischer Killed st hieBrady Isittd.

On Sunday last Fred Fischerwae foasddead in the brush near his house onlkadyTsfond. He had evidently been murdered-Ther- e

is considerable mvstery surroaad- -ins: the case. The coroner's jury ia stillin. session, and onlv outside testimony cambe sutnered.

It appears that on 3Ionday,the 13th,Fischer went up to the house of oae Mo-ra- nt,

who Eves on the island some sevea,or eight miles up the river from Fischer's,.to getsome tools to put aomx a wen. mastayed at Xorant's over night, returning'home Tuesday mornins. benur accompanied part way by Louie Eeyant, aliasFrench Louie, "who lives two or threemiles east of ilorant's. He had made arrangements to commence drivina a "wel- l-pipe "Wednesday morning, and John:Johnson, who was to nelp nim in tnework, went to Fischers house, ana stayeduntil nearly noon, when Fischer not appeanne, ne concmaea cnat r iscner naagone to loo it alter ni3 nsn. lines, it iscnerwas a great fisher). Returning on Thursday Fischer was sun aosent, ana naaap-parent-ly

not been at the house sinceJohnson had left there the dav before. i.neighbor by the name of Abercombrie,who lives two miles below, called aboutthe same time, and some search was madeior x iscner. o trace couiu oe louna,and other neighbors were notified Thesearch was continued Friday and Saturday without suoaess. On Sunday JohnShuey and Gus Goerkey came over fromthe south side of the nver to use ifiscnersbranding chute to brand some cattle.Goerkey had at one time been employedabout the National cemetery, and it wasnot long before he detected the unmistak-able smell that em mates from a decayingcorpse. The body was soon found in thebrush some four or five rods from thecorral in an advanced stage of decompo-sition. Information was immediatelytelegraphed to this city, and Sheriff Haley,in th.e absence of Coroner Streitz, accom-panied by Attorney STesbitt, Drs. Donald-son and Longley, and E. B. Warner,started early .Honday morning for thescene of the tragedy.

An examination" of the remains led

the fact that the man hadbeen shot throngh the body, the ball en-tering a little to the right "of the centerjust below the heart, passing out by theside of and tearing away a portion of thebackbone. The back of the skull at thebase of the brain had been smashed withsome blunt instrument. The murder hadapparently taken place near the corral,and the body dragged by the feet throughthe brush to th"e place where it "wasfound, the shirt being pulled up aroundthe neck, and one boot nearly ofiL Thetrail could be easily traced through thebrush, but all traces of blood and evi-dences of a struggle had been carefullyremoved from objects near the corral, abunch of weeds in one place having beencut and carried away, probably to concealblood The dead man's pipe and hatwere missing, and could net be found

It is evident the murder had not beencommitted for money. Nothing aboutthe house was disturbed About fivedollars in money was found in his trunk.From these circumstances a motive ishard to find, although certain things havearoused suspicions, but nothing has yetdeveloped that will warrant arrest. Thecoroner's jury consists of Drs. Longley &Donaldson, "Wm. Plumner, E. B. Warner,Joshua Snyder and Abram Brooks. Sometestimony was taken on the spot, but thejury returned to this city, and was in ses-sion Tuesday afternoon, adjourning untilthe 30th ins The jury is determined toget all the evidence that will possiblythrow any light as to the probable perpe-trator of the crime. .

Frederick: Fischer was a German bybirth, about fifty years of age, and wasone ot the early settlers of this county,having been about Fort IePherson at anearly day, taking a claim on the islandwhere he was killed some seventeenyears ago. He was unmarried Thebody was buried under a large cotton-woo- d

tree said to be the largest tree onBrady Island near his house, whereFred had often expressed a wish to beburied He has no relatives in this vicin-ity. .

A Fortunate Eargain.A quartette of young gentlemen one

of them is married, but scarce a twelve-month has passed since the golden knotwas tied, and the others are about to enterthe Benedictine ranks made a fortunatebargain Wednesday. Learning that theXorth Platte Town Lot Company had therefusal of Block 8 in Hinman's additionat $1,000 for a certain length of time, theymade the proposition and secured an ac-ceptance that if the company didn't cometo time they would take the block at thesame price. The lot company of courseintended to take the block, but other ne-gotiations lagging, they negligently ne-glected to bind the bargain. "When "theylearned that the time had expired, theboys didn't let any grass grow under theirfeet until they had the biirgain clinched.It is a very fine property, and three newhouses are expected to" be built thereonin a short time.

On Sunday last two young" men weredrowned in a lake at St. Joseph, 3Io.The next day a man and two young ladieswere drowned while boating at Kearney.About the same time, on our own artifi-cial lake de Lamplugh, two young gentle-men were thrown beneath the ragingbillows but were rescued Dy the heroicefforts of the life saving crews. This re-minds us of the dangers of water.

Butter has become almost a drug notonly in this market but all over. In Denver, usually a high marked it is a primearticle that will bring thirteen cents, whileOmaha, St. Joe and other Missouri rivermarkets are still lower. In our market agood article has been bringing 25 cents oncontract with families, but the price hasnow fallen to about 20 cents. Goodprime butter will keep and always bring agood price, but unfortunately most of ourpeople are not fixed for mairfng choicebutter, and have no facilities for keepingit made. The consequence is theyare obliged to force their products in themarket when, there 3 the greatest supply,and the price falls way below remuner-ative returns. At present our merchantscannot ship, there being no demand andmost of our people being supplied by pri-vate parties, there is very little retail trade.During the last week there have been sev-eral instances of parties bringing butterlong distances and were obliged to take ithome again. This is unfortunate, but itis not the fault of our merchants, whowould willingly buy if they could possiblyget it oh! their hands.
