Dr. Carver, Buffalo Bill, Captain Bogar- dus, and many other marksmen have given exhibitions in this eity, but none gave excelled Mr. Sober's. He shoots at glass balls without taking a sight at them, and shoots accurately. Mr. Bober is a lumberman, living at Lewisburg, P’a., and is not a professional marksman. He says that he does not know how he ac- in him.” This beats all former records in fancy shooting by any one kuown in the world to-day. In this exhibition heshot a 10 ib. No. 10 gauge Parker gun.

Hayden comes here with the very best recommendations as 8 musician and in- structor. Some years ago he had charge of a slass at Bellefonte and later at State College and always gave entire satisfac. tion.

The amount of grain handled in Omaha in 1886 was 8.200.000. Building permits issued since Jan. 1, 1887, ia 679, and the value of the buildings to be erected is nearly $2,500,000, The total amount expended in public improve ments for 1883 to 1886 inclusive, is $2,- 215,803.72.

Of course, we had a little mutual admira- tiongsociety to ourselves, which added no little pleasure to our sojourn in Omaha, A party of 20 ministers, a few with their wives, and several laymen, and their wives, took the train at Omaha, on urday, June 11, en route for Col.
