Nothing new has developed in this mysterious case but it is thought by some who know the most about it that the end is not yet. Last Friday Charles AARON received word from Lincoln that a man had been arrested there who was supposed to be the one who broke into his tailor shop last week. He immediately went to that city and found that no mistake had been made, as the prisoner was in possession of the clothes stolen. Mrs. Louisa PEARCE died March 22, 1888, aged 81 years, 2 months and 27 days. WILBER OPPOSITION Married, at the residence of the bride, April 4th, by Rev. ALLER, Mr. H.W. KEMPTON and Miss Mary E. BARTON, both of Saline County. Twenty five dollars and ninety cents was what a load of hay cost a man on Tuesday. Had he consulted the owner before hand he might have got it for about twenty dollars less. Married, at the court house, April 10th, by J.W. RHINE, county judge, Mr. Albert H**ICEK and Miss Magdalena KRAKOVA, both of Saline County. J.K.

The administration's new fishery treaty is liable to be rejected by the Senate as worse than nothing. Some strikers beat Joseph M. BROWN, a switch engineer at Nebraska City, nearly to death Tuesday evening. It is said that Boston people are importing beans from Europe at $2 per bushel. Imported beans at that price should make the average Bostonian very astute. Fairmont had a $75,000 fire last Monday losing some of her best business houses. A remarkably small amount of insurance was on the burned property. It is said that Secretary BAYARD will be a candidate for the U.S. Senate this winter. He likely will have no engagements after March 4th, next, and can pick up the stock of old shoes, dead cats and the like that every nation on the face of the globe have been throwing at him, and start a fertilizing company down in Delaware. Those who were interested in the bridge injunction suit which was begun in the courts of this county some three years ago restraining the board of Supervisors from building some 33 bridges which were about to be built in this county, will be pleased to learn that the injunction was carried to a successful termination in the supreme court a few days ago. By this suit the tax payers of the county were saved some $10,000 in cold taxation and the Lord only knows where bridge building would have went beyond that amount.
