An Interesting Situation in Talmadge, Neb.—A Stubborn Postmaster. al Inspector Spangler returned last night from Talmadge, Neb., whither he went a day or so ngo to settle a diffi- culty which had arisen betwee! postoflice appointee and the re cumbent. It scems that for some time past there hard feelings between the old postmaster, Steele, and a citiz 1 Board. Board, who was a democrat, had been for some time trying to secure the postmastership, while Steele, who was a prohibitionist, had persistently fought to i retain the oftice. Among otlier charges preferred against Board by Steele and his friends was that he was @ hard drinker—so much addicted to “liquor, in fact, that he was unfit to dis- charge the duties which would devolve upon him as postmaster. i i came to poss. however, cured his vummission from the post- ' master general. He triumphantly went . to his opponent, and shoving the papers in his face, ordered him to ‘‘ref used to back down until Board - would agree to buy a lot of postoflice ~ boxes in which he (Steele) had' i " considerablo moncy.

The new postmaster con- pay no attention to the de. mands of Stecle, but went ahead, bought a set of boxes and started postoflice No. = At this juncture Inspector Spangler ~ hove upon the scene and settled the affair . by peremtorily ordering Steele to give up all right and title t6 the othce of post- ~master, besides instructing him to at once * transfer the government property to his ccessor, Board. ‘I shall never forget the look on Ste: s when I went in w0 see him,” ector Spangler in speaking of mflo ght. # ¥ to & reporter mnud as pale as a corpse appe: oroughly frightened.

Those who have noticed © on the strects a flaring red bill announe " ing an “auction sale of fine furniture,” ‘have not thought that when the sale was ompleted the lust link which binds Mrs. . W.

The Omaha & Republican Valley train which left this city at 2:40 yesterday after- noon returned last night shortly after 11 o'clock, having been unable to proceed farther than Valley on account of the forming of an ice gorge in the Platte river. The gorge is situated above the railroad bridge and has caused t overflow on this side of the ri ing in transforming the country between Valicy and the river into a vast lake. When the train ted on_its return trip Inst night twenty feet of the road-bed had been already washed away, and the water was rapidly working havoe with the adjoining tracks. A great amount of damage to both the railrond and the sur rounding country is anticipated unless the gorge breaks up soon and allows the river to return to its natural bed. tail Notes.

After his injuries by the horse a physician was ealled, who preseribed medicine for both internal and external use. The latter was a strong liniment, but during the uight the bottles became transposed, and Mr. Wilson was given a large dosc of the liniment internally.
