CeNTrAL CrTY, Neb,, Sept. 1.—[Corre- spondzance of the Bek.]--Central City is having quite a building boom this sea- son and it 18 neariy all on a substantial order. Berryman, Patterson & Co. are putsing up a two-story brick, 41x80, to be udelt for their galvanized cornice works # pew branch they are adding to their growing trade. This makes a solid block of brick on Broad street. Dr. O. L. Bar- ton and E. B. Aldrich are building each fine two-story brick buildings, 22x80, and side by side on Broad strect. These are all of Iatest style and fitted out with gas and all modern improvements. The Metealf Milling company is preparing to start a cracker factory here and com- pete for the Nebraska and western cracker trade. Our increased railway fa- cilities make Central City a splendid point for jobbing trade. Mr. P. H. Rice, of Chicago, and Cap- tain Erwin, of Payette, Idaho, expect to feed about 3,000 head of cattle here this season and have half of them here now. ‘They are both men of wealth and will be of gréat benefit to the city and country round. There are prospects for the leeding of about 7,000 head of cattle and 15,000%6;\(‘ of sheep here this coming winter. This will make good demand for hay and grain, but we have plenty of both and to spare. « The late rains have helped corn to a considerable extent and we will proba- 'bly have three-quarters of acrop. There s a large increase in acreage. Corn is being contracted in the field for future delivery at 25 cents per bushel. Very little grain 18 coming mnto market and far; seem to be holding back for better pri. i Central City has a postoffice which, for beauty, location and room, will compare avith the finest. Colonel Logue hus moved the postoffice into the new brick of James Stevens, where he has fixed up as neat and trim ns a new ship. The Farmers’ "Btate bank have moved into their new yand beautiful brick building and now have as fine n_bank as you will find west of Omaha. The city council has con- demned the old wooden row known as the Flat-iron blook and the buildings will be moved at once, leav- dng an open court at the junction Fot Broad streot and Stitzer avenue and very much improving the looks of the city. (!cntrnl Cit?v is agitating waterworks and electric lights, with a good prospect of secnring both. These improvements are what arc greatly needed and our ide-awake, energettc business men see he advantage they will be to us and_are (taking hold with & will. The board of "trade has done a vast amount of good here In working up new enterprises and \pushing improvements, and is meeting | with strong co-operation from the city courci!, backed by our popular and en- !urpr‘n mayor, William Patterson, Central City is gaining quite a feputation on the road for her splen- idid hotel accommodations and t is well deseryed, as Mine Host Miller of e Newton is as good a man for the lace as ever kept a tirst class hotel, and udging from the number of commercial lesmen who ‘‘Sundayed’’ here it is get- ng pretty generally known.

The Methodist college is in a flourish,. dng condition, and the faculty expect to Btart the fall term with over 100 students. Some parties came to town last week and started a saloon, and about the first evidences was the stream of men going in and out. The marshal tepped 1n and arrested the saloon- cepor, and a compromise was effocted by releasing the prisoner upon 'his promise to close up and leave town, which he did, and the joy of the saloon wishers was of short duration. Stockham Note: Srockuam, Neb., Sept. 1.—[Corre- pondence of the Bee.]—This place has been a postoflice and country store for aeany years. Now it is on the way to be- icome & town, and one of the best on the ine. It is on the point whore the North- jwestern crosses the West Blue. A siding has been graded and the bridge and track maen are expected in a short time. The towa site wassurveyed a fow weeks ago, nd already about a dozen houses are nnder construction. With the advens ot ithe tract increased, activity may be ex- pected. It has a large scope of ex- cellent country tributary to it. Crops, especially corn, are good. Flax is lsuffering on account of wet weather. To those who saved it in season this has ibeen one of the most profitable crops of ithe year. The yield has been good, and prices huve ranged from 750 to 85c. A ea’ many, however, left the flax on the field, expecting to haul directly to the machine. In the meantime a rainy sea- ison has set in, which seriously interferes ith this arrangement. Iv has begun to ow on the fields, and considerable loss must result. During a thunder shower recently a barn and some stock, belonging to {lr. INichols were struck by lightuing and de- . a3 also stock for various other The rain the first of the week was the jest remembered for a long time, water in the Blue being higher than t has been for two years.

Loup City Implovements, Lour Crry, Neb., Sept. 2.—[Correspon- dence of the Bgk.]—At Thursday's meeting the board allowed contracts in the construction of the water works as follows: Pipe and well boxes, Ripley & Boonson, St. Louis; boiler, Bromwell & Co., Omaha; engine house, Connor & Adawms; drenches, Hanson Bros.: reser- voir, R.

BEATR ICE, Neb., Sept. 4.—[Correspond- ence of the Bek.J—The republican county convention, held Saturday, re- sulted in the nomination of the following ticket: Clerk, George E. Emery; regis- ter of deeds, J. E. Hays; clerk of district court, . H. Holt; sheniff, K. F. Davis; treasurer, E.J. Roderick: coroner, Dr. F. M. Somers; superintendent of schools, Miss Maria Upson; surveyor, Joseph Pasko. The delegates to the judicial conven- tion were instructed for ‘‘Ginral” L. W. Colby, he of somewhat unsavory reputa- tion, both political aud otherwise, for district judge. His competitor was Hon N. K. Riggs. Colby won the victory, but how? To say by uicker{ and the basest lying is drawing it mildly. The nefarious meth- ods of Church Howe and ‘‘Ginral” Colby at the primaries and convention of last year, and the terrible but merited rebuke at the polls are yet fresh in the minds of all. hese acts, however, are almost universally regarded as saintly, com- pared with the chicanery by which the people were robbed of a choice of nominees, The above ticket, with the exception of one or two minor oifices, was put up by Colby and especially in his interests. The primaries were run by him and s hirelings wherever poasible. In other cases by some of the nominees and other candidates, afterwarda sold out, who though good men in many respects, al- lowed their intense itching for office to get the better of their manhood and in- dependence so far as to induce the: listen to the fair and seductive pr of the oily and smooth-tonguod for whom they also had a whol fear. For with all his faults, Colby i ergetic and scruples not al any means to revenge himself upon those who hesitate to obey his mandates or work for his ag- grandizement. Space is too limited to enter into detail, but for one illustration: In Beatrice the primary ticket for dele- gntes was put up in secret by a few can- didates for office who allowed Colby to name the men, he having made so many line promises. The result was tbe one vrinted ticket and that alone, and many are the earnest republicans who left the polls in disgust without voting a ticket on which the Colby earmarks showed so plamly. Since that time men hired to dispense boodle have spared no time or money working among delegates throughout the county who were sus- pected of having ‘‘an itching palm’’ for gold or an abnormal desire for official position. Every energy was bent to the one object, 50 much so that on the day of the convention delegates who were never before known to have so much money,are said to have displayed twenty dollar gold picce with the remark that they cared nothing about the result but had families to support. 2 At the convention a secret ballot of the entire convention was taken, notwith- standing the fact that a vigorous protest was entered by the fair and honest mem- bers who desired a call and announce- ment of the vote by precincts. The re- sult is that probably one-thira of the delegates will go home and work with a will against some men on the ticket, who secured their nomination by unholy aili- ances and_corrupt méthods of bargain and sale. I have talked with fully a score who will do this. The convention adjourned about dark Saturdap night, but until long after mid- night were an indignant people on the stroets discusfing the best methods of ad- ministering a stinging rebuke to the ring method of making nominations. The democrats, union labor party and prohibitionists have yet to hold their con- ventions ond it is possible that they and the dissatisfied republicans will so unite 1 }u 'l.o make a tolerably clean sweep this all, In re*nrd to Colby, should he be nomi- nated for district judge our present judge, Hon. J. H. Broady, will undoubt- edly be the democratic nominee and re- ceive the support of the better class of re- publicans, as he did four years ago. It will be remembered, at the time Colby, then the republican nominee, lost every county in the district and his own couaty by more than 1,000, and where the “democratic vote is light in- deed. Last year when the regular re- publican nominee for state senator, with all the wealth and influe nce of Senator Paddock and the First National bank at nis back, he won by a small Klurulhy. though he lacked nearly 900 of having a majority. And in this race his opponents were weaklings politically, while some of Van Wyck's most trusted friends were guilty of treachery the most damnable and supported this same Colby., He can never be elected judge in this district. ‘The indignation of the people is inten- sified by the fact that Church Howe has been here twice within the past ten days, and a prominent republican is authority that he was working hard for Colby and stated that should Griggs be nominated that he would see he got no yotes in Ne- maha county. >t that our voters deify Girigas, but they will repudiate Churen Howe's put up of conventions as they did here last year when he tried it. A REPUBLICAN, The Prosperous Logan Valley Bancrory, Neb., Sept. 3.—[Corres- pondence of the Bee.]—One may look tha state over and will not find & more prosperous part than the Logan valley. ‘The Bix's correspondent has been along the from Lyons to Wayne withia the past few weeks and never witnessed such evidence of growth, prosperily and rapid development as there are along this fertile valley. The crops this year will surpass all former years in both yield and acreage. © Those portions of the Omaha and Winnebago reservations that were opened to settlement a year or 80 ago are now laid out into fine farms. The towns «lonfi this valley are all pros pering finely. Bancroft, surrounded by as rich and productive soil as there is in the state, has every facility to make and sustain a good ‘town. The shippers here have the choice of Omaha and Sioux City markets, which eventually will receive all the produce from this part of the state. Pender, the next town north of here, 18 a flourishing little village built upon that part of the Winnebago reservation opened to settlement where a few years ago there were only gophers, wolves and jack-rabbits, Adrtat Emerson, Wakefield and Wayne are all active towns and surrounded by as rich farming and grazing country as there is in the state. So far, this Y“" of the state has never been materially 1n- jured by the drought. There is great need of a competing railroad from this section to the leading markets, 1n order to give shippers cheaper transportation and better prices. Strom rg's Boom. StroMSBURG, Neb., Sept. 1.—[Corres- pondence of the Bre.]—The long looked for boom has at last commenced to as- sume proportivns. A stock company has been organized to take the double brick block on the south side of the square from the top of the joists above the store rooms and complete the upper story,mak- ing anopera hall 50x80 fect, with gallery. The work has commenced and the store rooms will be ready for occupancy by November 1. The brick block on the east side of the square is nearing completion, the workmen being at work enclosing the building. ‘The call for an clection to vote $12,000 in bonds to put in a system of water works has been made and all are enthu- siastic over the future prospects of Stromsburg. Harrison County, lowa. Missourr VALLEY, Sept. 3.—[Corres- pondence of the Bee.]—Harrison county has had an abundance of rain for the past ten days and pastures are again looking fresh and green and the ground is now 1n excellent condition for fall plowing. Notwithstanding our long continued dry spell our bottom lands in- dicate an average yield of forty-five bushels of cord to the acre and wheat is threshing out from cighteen to thirty- four bushes per acre. Potatoes will be a light crop and sell now for 60 cents per bushel. Grapes and plums are tine and plenty. The former sells at 2} and 8 cents per pound. while the latter ‘“‘goes begging'’ at $1 per bushel. Melons of all kinds are adrugon ths market. Choice watermelons sell at 10 cents each- ... The Harris Grove farmers club hold their annual harvest meeting to-day scven miles southeast of here. This is an association formed of our best far- mers, who meet once a month for the discussion of subjects of interest to the agriculturist. To-day is ‘‘picnic’” day, and many citizens from this city and sur- rounding towns have gone to join the throng. Hon. D. M. Harris, of this city, has been selected to make the annual address. District court is now in session at Lo- &an. Divorce suits seem to be largely in order. Secretary Hasbrook and other members of the Harrison county Fair association are zealously at work preparing for the twenty-ninth annual fair which begius October 8, A large fine art hall 1s just being completed and a number of addi- tional stalls are being built to accommo- date the large number of horses which the entry books indicate will be in at. tendance. huve one of the finest half-mile tracks in lowa, and liberal purses are offered in all trotting and run- ning classes. The entries in the trotting classes closed yesterday. Every class is filled with the requisite number of entries to insure a start. Many of the best horses in the west will be on the grounds to contest for the liberal prizes offered. Burt County News. OAKLAND, Neb,, Sept, 4.—[Correspond- ence of the BEe.]—There appears to be a little wrangle in the Methodist Episco- pal church at Tekamah. The ofticial members of the church at a recent busi- ness meeting voted not to receive a minister for the coming year, as the church has become financially wesk owing to so many members moving away. It is claimed Presiding Elder Phelps says, hd does not care to be dio- tated to, and will send a minister to Tekamab. One of the members publicly declares if a man is sent against the wishes of the people he will receive poor support, and said member further says hfii'm not be dictated to by a presiding elder. The managers of the Burt county fair are sparing neither time nor expense to make the fair which 18 to be held here September 21, 22 and 23 far superior o any that has ever been hela 1n this part of the state. There can be no possible doubt of the result of their untiring et- forts. The Lyons band will keep the air full of mehfluous melody. Hon. John M. Thurston, of Omaha, will address the people the second day. Signs of substantial progress are seen on every hand m Oakland. Henry Neumann has commenced the ercction of a large brick store, which will be an ornament to the town. Rev. White, pastor of the Lutheran church, will leave Oakland with the as- surance of duty well done, and many an earnest prayer for God's blessing upon him and family will follow him. Rev. Henry, pastor of the M. E. church, preached his farewell sermon to-day, and will nodoubt take charge of a church in South Umaha. Frank Wallestedt has moved his store from Craig here. Mrs. W. A. Harding started Tuesday for Sandy Creek, N. B., on an extensive visit, Mr. Albert Frort, of Chicago, 1# visit- ing friends here. y A new paper has been started in Craig by L. H. Warner.

Ande rson, a prominent physician of this city, is lying at the point of death. The waterworks proposition will be voted on Beptember 12, The proposition will carry by a large majority. It is being gradually discovered that the corn crop of this county will be even more than an lvorm one. The late rains will make splendid fall pastare for stock. A large delegstion will attend the Omaha exposition and reunion from this county. Manufacturers are looking this way for the purpose of entering into manufactur: ing enterprises and intreduction of waterworks will give a strong impetus to lllhroh enterprises, . .

BroxaN Bow, Neb.,, Sept. 2.—[Cor- respondence of the Bek.]—Broken Bow is the leading town of the northwest and county seatof one of the largest and most fertile counties in the state. It iscom- paratively & new town, but has enter- prise and substantial improvements not to be found in much older towns. Crops are unusually good in this section of the country and the prospect for fall trade is very flattering. . As a trading point Broken Bow is ex- cellent, having a large territory for both wholesale and retail trade, and is & good location for any kind of business or fac- tories. The Union block on the east side of the square, 75x90 foet, two stories and a basement, is a beautiful addition to the town. ‘Lhe Inman opera house, on the north side, now 1n course of erection, will be fitted up in first class style, above for an opera house below for stores.

Farmer Co-operation a Buccess, OAKLAND, Neb., Sept. 1.—[Correspond- ence of the BEe.]—The Farmers' union of this place, on a capital of $269, since July 7 has shipped 19,000 bushels of corn. The net protit to the uniou on this amount is $285.40. The manager says the prices paid here have been from 2 to 8 cents per bushel more than in adjoining towns. Cornis being brought to this market from near these towus all the time. The manager of the union says 1f he had the capital the combinatign have, the figures would be astonishing. As yet the union has no place to speak of to store grain or they could handle much more, but the figures for the past month are opening the farmers’ eyes more than ever to a realization that the union is a success. Tne manager is daily receiving letters of inquiry from persons who read the BEE in Iowa, Kansas and different parts of this state, wishing in- formation how to sturt such a union. Dundy Count; rosperity. BENKLEMAN, Neb.; “Sept.—[Correpon- dence of the BEe.]-~Itis only two years since Dundy county was given the reins of government. ‘Fhen farming was thought to be a doubtful experiment. Now we have hundreds of successful farmers, and in this yoar of drouth, we have good crops of all kinds. We have corn that would be a credit to old eastern counties. Potatoes; melons, pumpins, melons, squashes, etc.; are simply im- mense. 'his * county is mostly valley and undulating tablelands, with a few streaks of sand hills, for such they are called, but the best grass we have grows on these hills. The soil is mostly a sandy loam. There is good government land in the western portion. of this county. Good water is found at from 30 to 100 feet. Those desiring cheap homes would do well to look over Dundy county.

Tolstol's Description of a Dying Man’s Thoughts. * Count Leo Tolstol in *‘Sebastopol” thus describes the fall of a sholl: —*To earth!" shouted a voice. Mikhailoff and Pras- koukine obeyed. The latter, with shut eyes, heard the shell fall somewhere on the hard earth very near him. A second which appears to him an hour, passed, and the shell didnot burst. Praskoukine was frightened, then he asked himself what cause he had for fear. Perhaps it had tallen farther away and he wrongly imagined that he heard the fuse hissing near him. Opening his eyes he was satis- fied to ses Mikhailoff' stretched motion- lessat his feet, but at the same time he perceived, a yard off, the lighted fuse of SEPTEMBER 5. 1887, the shell spinning around like a top. A glacial terror,which stifled every thought, every Ebnllmlnu took posession of his soul. hid his face in his hands. Another second passed, during which a whole world of thoughts, of hopes,of sen- sations and of souvenirs passed through his mind. *“Whom will it kill? Me or Mikhailoff, or indeed both of us together? If it is I, where will it hit me? If in the head it will ba all over; if on the toot they will cut ft off. Then L must_insist that lh«-{ give me ohloroform and I ma get well.

A Bohemian air that he sang the evening before came o his mind. e also saw in his imagination the lady he wasin love with in her lilac trimmed bonnet; the mun who had insulted him five years before, and whom he had never taken vengeance on, But in the midst of these and mnng other souvenirs the present fecling—the expectation of death— did “not leave *‘Perhaps it asn't going to explode!" he thought, and was on the point of opening his eyes with desperate boldness. = But at this instant a red fire struck his eyeballs through the closed lids, something hit him in the middle of the chest with a terrible crash. He ran forward at random, entangled his foet in his sword, stumbled. and fell on his side, “God be praised,” I am only bruised." ‘This was his first thought, and he wantea to feel of his breast, but his hands seemed a8 if they were tied. A vico gripped his head, soldiers ran before his eyes, and he mechanically counted the ‘Une, two, three soldiers, and besides, an oficer who is losing his cloak!” A new lignt_flashed; he wondered what had fired. Wasit a mortar or a cannon? Doubtless a canon. Aunother shot, more soldiers--five. six, seven. They passed in front of him, and suddenly he became terribly afraid of being crushed by them. He wanted to ery out, to say that he was bruised but his lips were dry, his tongue was glued to the roof of his mouth, "~ He had a burning thirst. He felt that his breast was damp, and the sensation of this mois ture made him think of water. He woul have liked to drink that which drenched him. “Imust have knocked the skin off i falling,” he said to himself, more and more frightened # the idea of being crushed by the soldiers who were running in crowds before him, He tried again to cry out, “Take me!” but instead of that he uttered a groan so terrible that he was frightened at it himself. Then red sparxs danced before his eyes—it seemed as if the soldiers were pilling stones on him. The sparks danced more rapidly, the stor:’xxlcd on him stifled him more and moré™ Ha stretched himself out; he ceased to see, to hear, to think, to feel.
