The report is that all trains will be running on this line in about a month, and shipping can be commenced from our city. Our people will feel greatly relieved when they do not have to go eight or ten miles for goods, but can re ceive them close at home. Let us all join in and take an ex cursion to Omaha or some place when the line is completed. Our hardware man, Mr. K. A. Hurton, has improved the front of his store by a coat of paint, which adds greatly to its appearance. Some of the farmers in our com munity hav4" about finished corn planting" and are not at all sorry. D. J. Pitman is having his house plastered over and remodeled some, which adds to its looks. Mr. A.

Frank Davis, of the Schildknecht Shoe Emporium, has arranged to occupy the west half of Phil Young's store next week with a splendid line of boots and shoes. Mr. Davis has scores of friends in this city who will be glad to see him take a more central location, as it will insure an increase of trade. It is reported that Captain II. E. Palmer has sold his handsome res idence in this city to Sam'l. Waugh, and that he will remove to Omaha at an early date.

Rev. J. A. Windsor, officiating. Counterfeiter Cauyht THE IlKKAU) has had occasion-to call attention more than once to the bogus silver coin that is being cir culated. The following account of the capture of the makers of the counterfeit money from the World Herald, which we trust will be read with interest : "For over a year past the federal authorities have been at work en deavoring to locate a band of coun terfeiters, supposed to be located in Rock or an adjoining count' in this stale, engaged iti manufacturing counterfeit silver quarters, halves aud dollar pieces. The merchants and business men of that section were constantly in receipt of the spurious coins. The business of "shoving the queer" was carried on so success fully without detection that at last the business was conducted on a wholesale plan and thousands of dollars were put in circulation. After a year of careful watching and waiting the efforts of United States authorities were fully reward ed. Yesterday Deputy United States Marshals Heplinger and Baker ar rived in Omaha with three men as prisoners, whom it is reported am ple evidence of guilt has been ob tained. I he fedral authorities located the place where the queer coins were manufactured iti a rear room of livery barn. The jlace was put undcr strict surveillance, and at midnight Tuesday night the work of manufacturing bogus silver dollars was discovered to be in progress under the superintend enc of Joseph 11. Klwell. Deputies Hepfinger and Baker accompanied by Sheriff Harris of Rock county, watched Klwell for more than an hour and when he had successful moulded a dollars and dropped it out of the mould they broke down the door and with drawn revolvers placed the attorney untler arrest. A large quantity of zinc, babbit metal and glass used in the inaiiu lacturc oi tne uogus coin was seized. Evidence implicating two other men located at Bassett was in the possession of Uncle Sam's sleuth hounds and P. H. Bushel and James Cooper were arrested there this morning. The three men were brought to Omaha last night and lodged in the county jail, and the matter will be submitted to the federal grand jury to-ii y. The business men .aid bankers at Bassett, Newport and adjoining towns have been compelled to adopt a system of weighing all sil ver money coming into their pos session as a matter of self protec tion, as the imitation was so com plete as to almost evade detection lue tanners were great losers in many instances and at last resorted to a Hat refusal to receive silver coin in exchange matters. llie arrival or trie prisoners in Omaha last night at the Webster street depot, under charge of the federal oflicers though coupled to getherwith a pair of handcuffs, at tracted no particular attention as they were marched up the street to take the motor train for the jail. An overcoat was carelessly thrown across the chained wrists of the two men and thus sheilded them from public notice. Joseph H. LT well was a prominent politician in the old Big lhird congressional mstrict. lie is well known in northern and northwestern Nebraska and has heretofore borne a good reputation. Elwell is completely broken down and refuses to talk. It is believed that the federal authori ties now have the complete key to the bogus coin situation in Iowa, Nebraska and Dakota, which has puzzled the federal secret service for the last year." The Run to Lincoln' The train was pulled from Hast ings to Lincoln by engine 203; Robert Smith, "the B. & M. flying engineer," handled the throttle and Fireman Charles flook fondled the coal that kept the great locomotive steamed across the state. Con ductor Chase was in charge of the train. The run from Hastings was made in two hours and thirteen minutes, including stops at Fair montof eight minutes, and at Crete of seven minutes. The engine was handsomely decoratedwith bunting woven into a number of beautiful designs. The engine presented a most handsome appearance and seemed to be fiilled with as much patriotism as steam. From Denver to Lincoln a special or "pilot" train kept ahead of the presidential party byten or fifteen minutes and cleared the vajrof all possible impediments or danger. State Journal.

If the weather should remain as it is, next Saturday evening would see the rails laid into this cit3'. The surfacing is being finished right up as they go along, so that when the tracklayers are through, the rogidjvill be ready for trains. Interesting Facts. The census bureau has issued a bulletin upon the debts of the world, as far as can be obtained. The debt of foreign nations in lSK), less a sinking fund is "VM'TO.tXK, an increase over S) of $2,l74,ir.i,().") The debt of the United States for some time shows a decrease of the $1 ,007, t.",000, or more than half amount of the debt in '80. The de and crease in the debt of the states territories for ten years to ''..), is !?07,L'r.),00O. In the same time the debt of countries increased .rl7,H-l(J, 000. Relatively the burden of debt falls far heavier upon inhabitants of the principal of foreign coun tries, except those of Germany', than those of this country, while indi vidual flucuations in amounts of in debtedness of seventy-nine foreign nations is reported to have been considerable during the decade. The aggregated indebtedness shows relatively but little change, espec ially if compared with the increase of population. Aggregating na tional, state and county indebted ness per capita shows a decrease from $4o..r)t) in 1880 to $120.40 in 1S!X). Aggregate surplus of receipts for another decade like the one just past would relieve the country from nearly all the national, state and county indebtedness, could they be distributed for the ournose. Ex. County Court. The case of A. N. Sullivan vs. the City of Plattsmouth is on trial to day to a jury. Judging from the testimony, Sullivan was having things pretty much his own way, Juge Chapman testified that it was worth $5,1X10 to try the bond case in the district court, and that Judge rmllivan s services were worth $1,000, B3T011 Clark testified as to the nature of the employment and valued the services at from $700 to $1,(XX1 Sullivan placed his services at J.KX) all along until a few days ago when he amended his bill, asking for $1,000. Jesse Root will testify this after noon on benait or tne tax payers and will probably not value the ser vices so high. The case will doubt less occupy the most of the after noon. Sullivan appears for himself and City Attorney C. S. Polk for the cor poration. A Millionaire Married. From Friday Daily. Weeping Water Neb,, May. 14 Mr. Wilard J. Ileacock of New York aged sixty-five, was married here to-day to Miss Clam Perry of Illinois, aged forty-five. The cere- money took place at the residence of F. M. Wolcott, Rev. Hindley offi ciated. The groom is a millionaire aud the bride is highly connected in this city, being the sister of Mrs Wolcott. After a tour to California the couple will be at home in Glover- ville, N. 1. The Oil Inspector. Louis Ileimrod is determined to test the legality of his removal from the state oil inspectorship by Gov. Thayer. Mr. II. holds all the appa ratus in his possession at Omaha and refuses to give up or in any way recognize the new official. The following letter was sent Mr. Ileim rod by Gov. Tha3-er's appointee: LlXCOLX, Neb., May 9, 1891. Hon. Louis Ileimrod, Omaha. Dear Sir: liis excellency, John M. Ihaj-er, governor ot the state of Nebraska, having seen fit to appoint me chief inspector of oils" for this state, and having executed the re quired bond, which has been filed in the office of the secretai-3- of state with the oath of office thereto at tached, which duly qualities an offi cer, I have taken possession of my room in the capitol building desig nated for the office of "state inspec tor of oils." I therefore desire you to name an early day on which you cati meet me in 1113-office at Lincoln to arrange for the transfer of all projjerty belonging to the state, to gether with all accounts, papers, etc., 111 your possession outside this olrice and belonging thereto. er3' respectfully, your obediaiit servant, E. C. Cakxes. Chief Oil Inspector State of Ne braska. To which Ileimrod replies as fol lows: Omaha, Ned., May 11. Ed. C Carnes, Lincoln, Neb. Dear Sir: In repK' to your letter of Ma3r 9, 1S91, I will sa3r that as I am the onl3" legal oil inspector in the state. I decline and refuse to in an3r wa3 recognize you as having any rights in the premises. Louis Heimrod, Chief Oil Inspector, State of Ne braska. Thus it will be seen that, while Nebraska recently reveled in the luxur3r of two governors we are now to have a season of two inspectors. This is a case where the pouring of oil on the waters won't work: we have too much oil now. If Ileim rod should come out victorious, Rakestraw of Nebraska Cit3r would drown himself for having given up office to which 1303 d appointed him and Tha3'er ousted him at Nebraska City.

Returning from Lincoln Saturday evening, on the M. P. train, Orlando Tefft and the writer, who was holdinglittle Herbert Ratnouron his lap, was maue a target 01 oy some unown person when near Peck's grove. A small rock was sent with terrific force through the car window the broken glass cutting Mr. Tefft's ear and little Herbert's lips. It was an ugly throw and might have resulted more scriousK. The das tard who threw it, no doubt from pure cussedness, should be hunted up and severely punished. Weep ing w ater Jt,agie. Memorial Day Notice.
