This is the season of harvest for

By means of entries which are to
say the least questionable, the Col
orado Coal and Iron Co. acquired
rtitle to fy566 acres of land for $12,
000 and immediately proceeded to
mortgage the same for $3,500,000.
A suit was brought to set aside the
entries as fraudulent, which was
sustained in the circuit court. The
case was then taken to the U. S.
supreme court, which this week
rendered an opinion reversing the
judgment of the court below. The
coal company in question is agigan
tic monopoly and if the coal lands
were placed, in the hands of indi
viduals, or in the -hands of the
government, where they ought to
be, the public would be greatly ben
efitted T .

In 1860 Chicago had not mom

Omaha has 100,000, and bv June,
1888, she will have added" 10,000.
She has far greater hotel facilities
than Chicago had in 1860, and is
the centre of a much larger popula

Referring to the efforts made to in
duce him to pull off the train, Mr.
Potter who had just received a
telegram from Ogden, conveying in
formation of its arrival at that
point on time, it being the first
train under the new schedule said:
The fast train has been put on the
Union Pacific to stay, and is not. to
be pulled off under any circum
stances. ..If competitors wish to
shorten up their time I have no ob
jections; if they attempt to meet it
by cutting the rate, we will meet
the cut by our regular trains, which
make the same time. The Union
Pacific is not to be deterred by
ihfeate-froei riuuug4 the rnjga

matters, he expressed himself as
much gratified with the outlook.
There has'been $1,000,000 gain in
net earnings in the .past four
months, and October showed a net
increase of $250,000. He was not
disturbed by the Manatoba's new
tariffs. That line has not reached
Helena, Mont., yet, and would be
taken care of when it got there.
The consequences to follow ' has
been largely magnified. The pros

prove its capacity for growth and
lopers. Even now' these' birds of

Col. Cody has favored us -with
several copies o London and Man
chester papers, speaking verv high
ly of hira and Tiis show. On the
occasion of the closing of the Amer
ican Exhibition, the London Times
editorially said:
"The American Exhibition, which
has attracted all the town of West
Brorapton for the last few months,
was brought yesterday to an- appro
priate and dignified close: A meet
ing of representative Americans
and Englishmen was held, under
the presidency of Lord Lome, in
support of the movement for estab-.
lishing a Court of Arbitration for
the settlement of disputes between
this country arid the United States.
JLt first sight itmigTit seem to .be
ajfar cry. from the Wild West to an
International Cour. Yet the con
nection is not really very remote.
Exhibitions of American products
and of a few scenes in the wilder
phases of American life, certainly
fend in 40me degree at least to bring
America nearer to England. They
are the effect of increased and in
creasing intercourse between the
two countries, and they tend to pro-
mote a still more intimate under
standing. The two things, the ex
hibition and the Wild West show
have supplemented each other.
Those who went to be amused of
ten stayed to be instructed. It
must be acknowledged that the
Show was the. attraction which
inade the fortune of the Exhibition.
Without ColoneJ Cody, his cowboys,
and Indians, and without the col
lateral fascinations, of the- Switch
back 'Railway and the Toboggan
slide, it is, conceivable that the Ex
hibition might have reprodncedVthe
Wild West in one feature at any
rate namelv, its solitude with
rare fidelity." But the Wild West
is irrestible. Colonel Cody, much to
the amusement of some of his more
superfine compatriots, suddenly
found himself the; hero of the Lon
don season. Not withstanding
his daily engagements and his punc
tual fulfilment of them, he found
time to go everywhere, to see evcry-thiBgrandHorbe-
seen'- by -all the
world. All Loadoa contributed to
hit triumph, and now the close of
his show is selected as the .occasion
fer prowoikts; a grat iaternatioilil

Civilization
itself consents to march onward in
the train of Buffalo Bill. Colouel
Cody can achieve no greater triumph
than this, even if he some day real
izes the design attributed to him of
running the Wild West show within
the classic precincts of the colios
seura at Rome.'

At the opera house to-night the
singers of this city will present the
greatest spectacular and musical
entertainment ever witnessed by
our people. This Oratio abounds
'with the most charming music and
Sowerful dramatic situations,
any novel features will be intro
duced in connection with its per

been made to produce it' on a scale
of grandeur never before attempted
in the state. This is an entertain
ment to which no one can take any
exception, and is an excellent place
for parents to take their children
and we hope that the house will be
filled before the curtain rises which
will be at 8:30 oclock. There will
be no long waits as the Di ector
tells us there will be rendered be

"Free trade is a good thing, but a

In response, to your

It is inadequate to meet 'the re
quirmeritsnithe present, besides it-
is considered unsafe in storms. It
is comparatively an old building for
this country being fourteen years
old: it is too much patterned for an
air castle towering to the skies, in
stead of- being" modelled after the
Bell of Amsterdam; it should be
condemned otherwise there, may be
a great slaughter of the children.
That being the case provision
should be made for a new building
of modern improvements and suita
ble for thisrfctprtey country, and it
should be located to accommodate
our; fast growing city and where it.

Our geographical location makes
us the natural heart of Western
Nebraska and if we have the educa
tional advantages people will come
here to educate their children from
all the surrounding counties. The
present location is inconvenient for
three fourths of the children of the
city and could be sold to great ad
vantage T,he block could be made
into twenty-four business lots which
might-be' sold for at least thirty
thousand dollars which would go. a
long, way towards a suitable build-
A new and suitable location could
be gotten free of charge and proba
bly a bonus., besides by sealed
bids f orthe location , for our land
holders could afford to be liberal for
the location1 of the high school
would make the land in the imme

I trust that my remarks will get the
people thinking-on jthe subject. .
