A gentleman who has traveled con
siderably through the county of late
tells us that the acreage of wheat this
year will bo from fifty to seventy-five per
cent greater than last year. Many of
the farmers will put all their old ground

corn. There seems to be a growing ten
dency among Lincoln county farmers to
raise more wheat and less corn than
heretofore.
Before the city council enters into
an agreement with Union Pacific-relative
to closing the Willow street crossing
and opening ono at Maple street, the
wishes of the people directly interested
in the matter should bo consulted. The
residents of the Third ward have rights
which ought to be respected and no move
should bo made which would work them
an injustice or plaqe them at disadvan
tage. Councilmon Johnson and Schar
mann should ascertain the sentiment of
their constituents, and this they will
probably do before action is taken on
the matter.

thinks that is one truth told, judging
from '.the rate for county printing. If
montfy is all the . mugwumps aro after,
(whiph it surely is) and all get it as easy
as tho Era does out of tho county print
ing the calamity howlers will soon take a

Tne State Board of Transportation and
B. tfc?M. officials will meet tho people of
Somerset and this vicinity to-morrow to
have' a hearing to show causo why the
company should not reopen its ofiico and
depot here If it is not to bo reopened
they-might just as well burn it or move
it out in the canyons some place out of
sight as it is a detriment as it is. Then
fiitjMb'k that that the company has cheek
epoSgh to instruct its conductors to com
aidlWssengers (strangers) to get off at
TOmeet,when they have a ticket to
thuFplaco, claiming they never stop
here. This scheme was tried on a resi
dent of this place and at one time night
operator here. Such work should be
looked into and stopped, if possible.

THE KEMEN'YI CONCERT.
Speaking of Remenyi, the renowned
violin virtuoso who will appear in this
city on the evening of the 29th inst, the
Boston Advortisor says:
Remenyi, tho world-famous violinist,
was the centre of attraction at the Star
Course entertainment at Tremont Temple
last evening. He has perfect mastery of
tho king of instruments, and seem3 to
delight in making it do unheard-of
things, and emit sounds that are not only
wonderful in their liquid sweetness, but
decidedly unique and surprising. Every
note of his playing had in it something
to claim the attention of the audience
and they gavo him applauso without
stmt Ho has a quartet of artists with
him who woll deserve the companionship
of such a lender. Mr. Rico was especial
ly well "received by the audience and
cheerfully respond d to a recall. Re
menvi was heard at his best in tho Hun
garian melodies of his own composition,
md though it was late in the evoning
beforo they were reached tho audience
gavo closer attention than to any other
number on the programme. Miss Berry's
accompaniments wero perfection itself,
and her solo was so well given that tho
audienco demanded another.

In regard to hydrant rental I would state tha lm

wore in debt $1987.50, and on the 1st of January.
1893,there will be due an additional sum of 110VT.il
which will make an indebtedness to the Water
Works Company of $3084.91 even if we receive tk
entire five mills which tho law allows ns to levy,
and we cannot take from any othor fund as we re
quire it for other purposes. The city had been
taxed five mills for water purposes for a period ot
three years prior to the time of using the nydTMle
so thai there was a surplus on hand in 1889. Of
this sum $1300 was used in erecting the three koee
houses. The city can pay the Outta Perch Cs.
$1,000 and all other general bills to May 1st, 1991,
