Two monster grey wolves made such havoc among live stock near Deminjr that cattlemen offered a re-wa- rd of $40 lor the" : scalp of either.

He under- estimated the size of the conflagra- tion and all his household belong- ings disappeared with the fleas." The men whq have grown beets in the last twoyears are thoroughly settled in the belief that the sugar industry will enrich Nebraska far beyond the dreams of its most en- thusiastic pioneers. It has been demonstrated beyond questionthat the beets will withstand all the ex- tremes of weather to which this climate is subject and yield in the worst seasons more money than the ordinary crops in the best years.

The Nebraska weather-cro- p re port, for the week ending Tuesday last, says: The rainfall over the eastern half of the state has been copious except in very limited local ities and in some places excessive. Over the western half of the state for the most part it has been light. Corn generally nas made good pro gress aud the early corn is matur ing m the eastern oart of the state, and a considerable portion of it is bevond danger of injury by frost. Owing to wet weather the late corn has continued to grow and to im- prove in condition, but some of it is very late and will require consider able time yet to mature. The co pious rains of the past two weeks have improved the condition of pastures and meadows. But the wet weather has delayed haying and threshing, and in some cases damaged small grain in the shock. Plowing and seeding continue gen eral and the ground is in unusually good condition to be worked in the greater portion of the state. Some valuable discoveries are made by accident. Burglars entered the office ot a chemical establish ment in Elizabeth, N. J., the other night and blew open the safe. Then they got out of the building as soon as their feet would carry them, carrying off one of their number in an insensible condition. Stored in the safe were sundry bottles of deadly stuff, the fumes of which are est man in about a minute. The explosion broke some of the bottles and consequently the thieves hadn't time to carry away some very rich swag, which was plainly in sight. On Sept. 24 to 26 the convention of the Irishmen, who want to pro- mote Ireland's liberty by force, will be held at Chicago. In New York a secret meeting of a committee of arrangements has been held, in which letters were read from eighty-fiv- e nationalist clubs and trom men favoring the move and promising support. It is expected that the convention will create great en- thusiasm. Delegates will come even irom Australia, Argentine and other South American republics. A grand reception will be given the delegates in Chicago. With potato bugs holding up trains and Bowler holding up the constitution, the Supreme Court and the United States treasury, it seems about time for the American people to provide themselves with an effect- ive remedy against pestiferous insects. New York Mail and Express. Nobody seems to be willing to rise to dispute the claim that Chicago has become the greatest railroad terminus on earth. The total number of regular trains in and out of the city every twenty-fou- r hours is 1,352, which is twenty-fiv- e more than one ago. The companies operating the roads number twenty-eig- ht and they control 40,000 miles of track. The Tobacco War. The present war existing be- tween the big plug tobacco manu- facturers is proving very interest- ing for the consumers, they being the only ones who are" profiting by this war. The manufacturers are unquestionably losing a great deal of money, and, as far as we can see, the whole cause of the war is on account of a brand of plug tobacco called "Battle Ax," which appears to be as powerful a weapon as its name implies. The manufacturers of "Battle Ax" claim it to be the largest piece of high-grad- e goods ever sold for the- - money. And the success of the brand, the enormous quantity which is being sold, clearly demonstrates that the con- sumers have not been slow in de- tecting the fact that they have a bargain. This has caused the. demand for other heretofore popular-brand- s to be greatly diminished. Hence the present great toba.ccl war. c new" week The Greatest and Best Lino of Clothin Furnishing Groods, Hats, Caps, Boots and Shoes, in Fact Everything "Gents1 Wearing Apparel -- IS GOING- - AT- - Greatly "Reduced Rates -- AT THE- - '' STAR CLOTHING HOUSE, WEBER & V0LMER.

The men whq have grown beetsin the last twoyears are thoroughlysettled in the belief that the sugarindustry will enrich Nebraska farbeyond the dreams of its most en-
thusiastic pioneers. It has beendemonstrated beyond questionthatthe beets will withstand all the ex-
tremes of weather to which thisclimate is subject and yield in theworst seasons more money than theordinary crops in the best years.

The Nebraska weather-cro- p report, for the week ending Tuesdaylast, says: The rainfall over theeastern half of the state has beencopious except in very limited localities and in some places excessive.Over the western half of the statefor the most part it has been light.Corn generally nas made good progress aud the early corn is maturing m the eastern oart of the state,and a considerable portion of it isbevond danger of injury by frost.Owing to wet weather the late cornhas continued to grow and to im-
prove in condition, but some of it isvery late and will require considerable time yet to mature. The co
pious rains of the past two weekshave improved the condition ofpastures and meadows. But thewet weather has delayed hayingand threshing, and in some casesdamaged small grain in the shock.Plowing and seeding continue general and the ground is in unusuallygood condition to be worked in thegreater portion of the state.
Some valuable discoveries aremade by accident. Burglars enteredthe office ot a chemical establishment in Elizabeth, N. J., the othernight and blew open the safe. Thenthey got out of the building as soonas their feet would carry them,carrying off one of their number inan insensible condition. Stored inthe safe were sundry bottles ofdeadly stuff, the fumes of which are
est man in about a minute. Theexplosion broke some of the bottlesand consequently the thieves hadn'ttime to carry away some very richswag, which was plainly in sight.

mote Ireland's liberty by force, willbe held at Chicago. In New Yorka secret meeting of a committee ofarrangements has been held, inwhich letters were read from eighty-fiv- e
nationalist clubs and trom menfavoring the move and promisingsupport. It is expected that theconvention will create great en-
thusiasm. Delegates will comeeven irom Australia, Argentine andother South American republics.A grand reception will be given thedelegates in Chicago.

The totalnumber of regular trains in and outof the city every twenty-fou- r hoursis 1,352, which is twenty-fiv- e morethan one ago. The companiesoperating the roads number twenty-eig- ht
and they control 40,000 milesof track.
The Tobacco War.The present war existing be-
tween the big plug tobacco manu-facturers is proving very interest-ing for the consumers, they beingthe only ones who are" profiting bythis war. The manufacturers areunquestionably losing a great dealof money, and, as far as we can see,the whole cause of the war is onaccount of a brand of plug tobaccocalled "Battle Ax," which appearsto be as powerful a weapon as itsname implies. The manufacturersof "Battle Ax" claim it to be thelargest piece of high-grad- e goodsever sold for the-- money. And thesuccess of the brand, the enormousquantity which is being sold,clearly demonstrates that the con-sumers have not been slow in de-tecting the fact that they have abargain. This has caused the.demand for other heretofore popular-brand- s
to be greatly diminished.Hence the present great toba.cclwar.
