Work on the seyeral irrigation ditches in the county, which was suspended ten days ago on account of the cold weather, has been re ; sumed. A large number of men and teams are at work at the head 1 of the South Side ditch. " The hay shipments have been rather light for several weeks past, J the market being anything but sat isfactory to shippers. Hay oti the -track is worth about $3.25 at ' present, and it is said the prospects for an advance are not bright. & Certain parties m town have e been in the habit of inducing young boys to steal coal from the U. P. , yards and then buying the coal from them at about one-half of the retail price. The practice has come to the notice of the local authorities and some trouble is likely to ensue. The case of Christy and Mason, charged with burglarizing the store of Max Einstein several weeks ago, was called in the district court yesterday morning. Consid erable difficulty was experienced in obtaining a jury; the regular panel being exhausted and about twenty talesmen called -before twelve prop erly qualified men were secured. The evidence of but one witness, Mr. Einstein, was heard 3'esterday i atternoon, and tlie case is in pro gress to-day. I. At the session of the Board of Education it was decided to call a mass meeting of citizens for some evening next week and lay before the meeting the present condition . !of the schools as regards accommo dations. It will then and there " be left with the citizens as to whether bonds shall be voted and ia new building erected. The date u of the mass meeting will be an : nounced later, and we believe it the duty of every school patron and tax payer to be present. 'It is understood that a petition for call ;4r ing-a special election to vote bonds it will be in readiness to receive the : signatures of those who attend the meeting, it the new building is "idesired. We are glad that arrange- ;ments have thus been made to get -the matter properly before the people. t4 The president's message will be found on the second page of this issue. Dr. F. N. Dick is reported to be improving, but is still confind o his bed. A skating party was given at the opera house Saturday evening by Misses Nita Murphy and Blanche Weidmeyer. On Sunday last the Presby terian Sunday school raised $141 for the purpose of purchasing new books for the library Twenty cars of ice were shipped up from Gothenburg last week, but the warm weather of the past few days caused a suspension of cut ting and shipping. The cost of running the street lamps was ten dollars less in No vember than in October. The lighters now have the regulating of the lamps down fine and a saving of fuel is the result. The curfew bell will ring here after at eight o'clock in the evening and children are supposed to ske daddle home at that time. The police will see that the boys obey the new ruling of the council. Wheat has been selling in the local market for a week or so past at fifty-seven cents cents a bushel. Some corn sold last week at fifteen cents, but it has this week dropped to thirteen. This is from two to three cents higher than the price paid in towns east of us. The session of the city council last evening was a brief one, the principal business transacted being the approval of a halt dozen bills, instructions to the marshal tore pair a few crosswalks, and the passing of a motion to have the I curiew oeu ring at eigut o clock in the evening instead of nine. The stockholders of the Gaslin ditch have held a meeting or two lately and are making arrange ments for the completion of this waterway. Bonds were voted to complete the ditch but we under stand many of those interested believe that the work can be com pleted without the issuance and sale of the bonds, Considerable work has been done on the. ditch, and if all those interested would pitch into the work in earnest next spring the grading could be finished in sliort order. HioN aleT Mrs. G. S. Huffman will sell, rib bons at and below cost during tie month ot December. Some rare bargains, call and see. I. A.

Two ministers of the Latter Day Saints church have been in town for several days attempting to secure a church in which to preach. In this, however, they have been unsuccessful, as the trustees of the several churches refuse to rent the buildings. The inability to secure a church in which to preach has made the Saints some what bitter against the other de nominations, and one of them al lowed his wrath to slightly effer vesce in this office yesterday. It is likely these ministers can secure Keith's hall in which to preach if they care to pay a reasonable rent. A barrel of fine flavored juicy apples is better than a med icine chest in any household and will save many a doc tor bill. Buy a barrel of fine New York Baldwins or Greenings at Harrington & Tobin's for only $2.50. These apples, if eaten just before retiring, are warranted to promote sound and healthful sleep. Scientists declare that the apple has remarkable medicinal qualities.

Thirty inmates of the Kearney reform scho.cl escaped from that institution Sunday evening about seven o'clock. The boys made the dash for liberty just as they emerged from the dining hall after supper and scattered in all direc tions. This break for liberty was so unexpected that by the time the officers collected their senses, and got ready to pursue, the fleeing- boys were nearly all out of sight.
