SCENES OF CONTENT ON THE GROUNDS. Games and Pastimes that Filled the Afternoon & Racing, Hitting the Pail and Target Shoots ing tor Prizes, Fight car loads of pleasuro seokers left the Missouri Pacifio depot yestorday afternoon for the pienfo of the Omaha Plattdeutscher vercen at Ruser's park. Thiee hundred c ringes discharged thoir occupants at tho lat- ter place during the aftornoon, and not fewer than a thousand people, young aud old, passed the day within tho shady recesses ina pleasant manner. ‘The first train loft tho city at 2 p. m. and was followed by anotkor at :30 o'clook. The Platdeutscher vereon, headed by the Union Pacific band, marched to the depot, 300 strong, where it boarded tho train which had already hoen pretty well filled with feicnds of the association. At the grounds a number of people from the surrounding country, as also tho city, had already assembled. Thoir occupaucy of tho beautiful pluce with its walks aud and tables and arbors was imm: questioncd, and in_a very short time grovo resounded with the huzz of social co verse and the merry grecting und laughter of friands who embraced the opportunity to spend the day of rest within one of the Deity's first tempies, Tho band supplied the music for hundreds of gliding feet; the cane fakir lured nickels from innocent pockets; Katrina's babies in grotesque adornment’ invited 5 cont at- tempts at annihilation; the man with the fron cranium tulked about himself and be- sought everybody to paralyzo him with a blow upon the head with an iron rod; the bowling alley resounded with incessant peals of Hendrik Hudson thunder and self-sacri- fieing men with good round bellis, by mears of coplous libations of foam-flecked smber, kept thirsty mortals from dissowution and the drouth, Tho Plattdeuschers w leasure and found it been provided for. Children romped, youtns spooued and flirted, middle-aged ' peovio talked and smoked and drank and reverend grand sires and grand dames sat beneath umbrageous oaks and poplars and firs and maples and received congratulations of Kins- folk or recalled the days of youth and man- hood which would como for “them again no more. The singing section of the verein was in attendance and in one of the cool and most beautiful parts of the park rendered a num- ber of choice vocal selections in praise of home and fatherland. T'he section was under the admirable dircction of Prof. Dworzaic and tho siugers comprised the following gen- tiemen: Messrs, Lehmann, G. Rohn, C. Ru- mobr, T. Potersen, J. Meyer, J. J. Kron John Baumer, J. Karuatz, J. ‘Roeschman, Tensfeld, A. Frascher, T. Heuck, H. Gecst and . Detlow. Tho 'choruses and solos of these singers rang through the avenues and beueath the leafy arches of the woods and evoked hearty applause from tho delighted auditors, On a beautiful lawn adjoining the park a number of ladies indulged in the egg race and afforded a great deal of amusement to tho onlookers as they did indeed to themselves. Each of the competitors was given a good sized iron spoon in which was placed an egg shell from which tho cgz matter had been removed. They were compelled to hold tho #poon on a level with their bosoms and with them run to a certain point. The object was to make the run and not allow the egg to leave the spoon. It was a difficult undor- taking for the runner, but an_amusing spec taclo for the bystanders. Notwithstanding the difiiculty ~several ties tcok place and the prizes wero accordingly awarded as follows: First, Frida Reichenbach ; second, Holena Dresser; third, Mrs. Peter Ruser. Another game which afforded a good deal of amusement was “hittiug tho pail.” The competitors were girls. Aftor locating the pail each of the little ones wes blindfolded, od thrice around the pail and thence to a certain distancoe, whonce sho wns to return thrice, discover and strike the pail. It may eusily be imagined how diffculs it 1s to accomolish such a task, and yet some of the littlo ones succeeded admirably, hitting the object three times. Tho awards werc made as follows: First, Leuu Ruser; second, Bertha Ehlers; third, Flora Houck; fourth, Delia Kaiser; ifth, Gertie Kaiser. The boys had a rifie competition, shooting at a stationary target at forty yards. Tho prizes wero awarded: Iirst, A. Schilen; second, C. W. Wohlers; third, G. Schinn’ bow; fourth, C. Lemp. Thoe range of tho Omaha Shutzenverein is located at the park aud was patronized by ‘well known German shots. In a sweepstako, W. F. Stoecker won as against Charles Gottsch, Claus Mattes, Hans Lamp, Peter Holst and Henry Schrooder. Fred Fuller, the well known shot, and John Petty also had a couple of pleasant little contests, in which both ren did excellent ‘work. In the bowling alley, also, thero were sov- eral interesting contests. When the shadows of night took possession of the park, they wore dispelled by a number of Japavese lanterns which had’ boon sus- pended from the trees and which afforded all the illumination desired until the witching hour of midnight, when the last loiterer re- tired from the sceno. The picnic was a great success. This fact was duo to the sociability of the patrons and the excellent management of the committeo of arrangoments, DPcter Kaiser, Henry Schrooder aud Honry Ricck, Of this com- mitteo Mr. Kaiser was chairman, His work ‘was unremittng and he was most excellently rowarded., oout fora day of Young and old had ——— Much injury Is done by the use of irritat- ing, griping compounds taken as purgatives.

Manifold Advantages of one of Ne- braska's Youngest Counties. Avviaxcr, Nob., Aug. 6.—To the Editor of Tue Bre: As Chadron, Crawford and othor weizhboring cities of northwestern Nabraska have extended the froodor of their respec- tive places, presented their attractions, and extrolled their resources to the coming ex- cursionists into this state, so we, realizing that we have as much, and more, to exhibit as an inducement to eastern people to mvest thoir time and money and repay them for their trouble, desire to bespenk an investg tion of our rosources fecling sure tuat only an fuvestigation is needed to convince tho most incredulous that time is wll that is re- quired to develope Box Butto county into one of the richest and most populous counties in the state. A trip in any direction across the country from Allinnice will reveal hundreds of acrds of wheat that will yield twenty-five bushels 10 forty bushels of zrain to the acre, and this of the best quality. Wheat that for hard- ness, size and plumpaess of berry is selaom cquatled outside of winter wheit distriets, And oats—oats that have to be scen to bo appreciated; oats that stand erect five feot bigh, with hcads nineteen inclies long, thor- oughly filled, somo already cut going eighty bushels to the acre. Aud this in & county not five years old—a piece of territory that was cut off of Daws county by a vote of the peo- ple on March S, 1587 having a population nardly large enough o fill the various county oftices, fifty miles from any raiirond, a coun- try oné endless sweep of brown prairie with uothing on whicn to rest the eyoes except an occasional cayote orantolope. But “presto ! The B. & M. railroad, that great developer of Nebraska, builds into and across the county, immigrants come pouring in, pre- emption claims and homesteads are eagerly sought. Sod bhouses and an occasional framo strucwre are erected in every direc tion; ground is broken, crops put in, aud in 1850 at the state fair at Lincoln we take the second premium for the gencral county cx- hibit in and for the stato of Nebraska, Visitors to the state, come and look at us now, gaze upon that brown prairis now cov- ored with green; 1ook upon the waving ficlds of golden grain, upon our tasseled corn and luxurious potato vines, and you will see crops that beat anything we vaised in 1580 To -those interested in_ stock raising 1 will say: “This is the coun- tev you are looking for.” Supreme Being in finishing this world of ours evidently had a considerable surplus of tho mixture that is used in the propagation of grasses and without any serious thought .of the trials and troubles that man would be to to find it, dumped the whole surplus down in the sund hills south of Alliance. There is the cattleman’s paradise. Hundreds of ranches are now scattered within a radius of iifty miles southeast, south and southwest from here, protected by the hills from the winter blasts, water in all the valloys at a depth of four to ten feet, besides rlunly of lakes at intervals through the avger valleys ana grazing tho year 'round. Talk about hay! With all the dry weather we had throughout:the state last year, wo shipped hundreds of cars of hay out of tho county. Fort itobinson, Deadwood, Custer, Omaba, Lincolu and Denver were all our customers, and this after the large number of cattlo had run overour ranges all summer. As u county we have u beautiful litule court house costing about §,000, a poor farm of #20 acres, with a good brick building thereon, all paid for and not a cent of bonded indebt. edness. Hemingford, our county seat, is a nico littlo place of about four hundrod popu- Iation, entively surrounded by good farming land. As a town Alliance is the hoeadquarters of the B. & M. railraad for the Grand Island & Wyoming Central division, having superintendent and all the general offices here, roundhouse of fiftoon stalls, shops smployiug about seventy men, their monthly pay roll amounting to about §14,000 at this point. Have a United States land oftice, several wholesale estab- lisiments, a mill with u capacity of 100 bar- rels of flour por day, school house costing $10,000, three churches —Mothodist, Catholic aud United Presbyterian, a banking capital of over 100,000, and a rapidly developiug county to back everything up. There are at present about seventy-five thousand acres of land in the county subject to private entry, and proved up claims ave selliug at an outrageously low figure. Native lumber can be got at Pine Ridge, only a few miles away, at $10 per 1,000 feet. “Coal is brought in from Newcastle and retailed at § per tou.

More startling than either one of these is the phenomenon which is to present itself in the political sky Missouri 18 to go Tepublicun, I3x-Congressman Nathan Frauk said so in tones of ussurance at the Palmer today, and Governor Francis who stood by him 1oked at Commissioner Coffey dubiously and ob- servod : “If we keep the state out of the hands of the republicaus we've got to work for it.” This wnomalous condition of things Con- gressman Frank explained, is duo to the activity and growing strength of tho farm- ers’ alliance in the Sucker stato, “The allisuce people,” he obscrved, “are always like the Irishinan ou the sandbar, ‘agin tho government. Just as the repubiict ans lost most heavily in Nebraska and in Kuvsas, so the déjecrats are suffer- ing most 1 Missouri.

T'lie democrats tinve felt so suro of their strongth,” added the ; congrossman, ‘“that they haven't boen making much effort to counteract this movessent, and the eonso- quence is that the thing has now reached such formidable propdrtions that they can't handlo it." “iNo, we have apprecigted the danger for a good while,” interpospd Governor Franeis, “and everything 15 beiug done to swop this defection, The ailiance paoplg hold their convention at Waynesburg on the Jith," continued the congressiman, “and the ¥esult will depend on the action of that caavention. If thoy en- dorse the sub-treasury scheme that will probably mean that they will not put up a ticket of their own, but will pool issues with the democrats who profess to be favorablo to it. If,on the other haud, they refuse to indorse it, that will mean an independont ticket aad a ropublican viotory. I think thoy will adopt tho latter course.” One principal reason for this opinion is the fact that U. S. Hall, the most influential alliance man in the state, is opposed to the sub-treasury idea."

FROM Much Suffering Already Among All Classes of People — Political Chnngoes Promiscd—An Am fcan Author's Death. re St. Lovts, Mo., Aug. 9.—The following ad- ces are from the City of Mexico: A duel was fought at Piodad, near here, | Thursday morning between Colonels Fran- cisco Novoa and Manuel Bluncho, 1he duel was brought about by aaispute, the two colonels using langnage to cach other of the harshest naturo, Novon had for his seconds General Flores and Colonel Rodrigo Valdes, and Blanco was supported by Deputies Fran- w celebrated duelist, and An- tonio Tovar, the author of tha dueling coas of Mexico, Thoarms choson wero swords, and according to the report it was to have been a duel to tho death, Tno assaults, after the signal for attack was given, were ton. In these ten assaults Blanco was wounded in the right arm, again on the throat and was laid out by o thrust in the liver, only giviog up after being so weak that he could not stand up, when the seconds orderad the duel to como to a close. Novoa had several scratehes, none, however, worth mentioning. “In view of the fact that President Diaz forbade duching by & spocial decree some months ago it is probablo that tho colonels will be placed under arrest and punished, *Those who havo lived twenty-five vears on thoe Rio Graude havo never seen so much misery among the Mexican population as this year. The staple crop of the Rio Grande valley is corn and the Moxican frijole, but the drouth has been so terriole for tho last sighteen months that scarcely anything has been raised, and stock has died by thousands. Many men who a few years ago were consid rod wolt off have nothing ieft out their lands. Hundreds of laboring men have left the frontier counties and aro finding work north of tbe Nueces river. If the drouth continues until the cold northers come on, thero will bo but little cattle to live through' the winter and many families will suffer for the necessaries of life. Thedrouth is confined toa few countios in Texas but extends far into old Moxico “Rumors were current on_ tho street this afternoon to tho effect that important coanges would soon oceur in the cabinet.

The pumps were put to work and heayy sireams of water were poured upon the heavy piles of ‘coal and upon the decl aboveit. This was kept up day and mght for ten days, and not until the end of that time vras the five entirely extinguished.
