Trees Planter!
Count- Superintendent Noble has
furnished The Herald the follow
ing concerning At bor day:
I rees planted, fi'.O; shrubs, 73. Six
teen districts have fine natural
groves , twenty-five sent no report
and only one school in three ob
served the day. District To. 17
planted 117 trees, the largest num
ber planted by any one district
i-i -. , . .
1 nere are sun .v scnooi nouses 111
open, unsheltered places, in many
cases the grounds are 1111 fenced.
There is still room for Arbor day
work.
A Svicessfu! Affair.
The tlance given by the Silver
Leaf Lodge International Order of
Machinists was iTpleasant ami sue
cessful aii'air. The boys were tome
what put out by the baud at Omaha
not putting in an appearance, but
the services of the Iioiiemiau band
w reengaged and the grand march
started about w n o'clock with ex
-ictly seventy couples participating
i he crowd 111 attendance last even
ing was the largest seen at a dance
in this city for some time. Several
were down from Omaha. Taking
everything in consideration the
dance was one of the most scccess
fnl ones of the season.
Discharged Them
Andrew lluckley and Lafe How
ard, the young men arrested in
Antelope county charged with
stealing- wheat last February, had
their preliminary hearing before
Judge Archer yesterday. County
Attorney Travis prosecuted, while
Mathew Cering defended. After
the prosecution had concluded the
testimony for the state, which was
given by Jasper Clausen and wife
and Clausen is a monumental
liar, not being able to tell the same
story twice, and his wife is not
much better Attorney Gering
made a motion to have IJuckley
discharged. The motion was sus
tained and the hearing of Howard
went on, but as the evidence failed
to prove conclusively that he was
the man, he was also discharged.
Attorney Cering is not sure just
;tt present, but thinks he will be
gin suit against S. Idyll for dam
ages caused by the arrest of Ihick-
State Leacrue Meetine.
The directors of the state base ball
league will meet in Hastings this
evening to arrange a new schedule
and admit the new member, Kearn
ey. The best proposition advanced
in regard to the change 111 the
schedule, and one which will obvi
ate the necessities of an entire new
schedule, is for Hea trice to plaj' Lin
coln's dates, Hastings play Heatrice
dates and Kearney to play the dates
assigned to Hastings 011 the regular
schedule. This arrangement would
not interfere with Grand Island's,
PLittsmouth's and Fremont's dates.
The accession of Kearney, will not
increase the mileage material-,
but will create a livelj- rivalry be
tween the three towns bunched out
here.
Haskell, late of Grand Island, has
been appointed umpire, and will of
ficiate in Hastings as soon as the
clouds roll bj .
The Staid Old Missouri Becomes
Raging Torrent.
Hie Lincoln Journal says: The
erratic Missouri has not made un
her mind just what she will do up
in the region of Florence lake, but
there are signs of her cutting loose
and sweeping down through, the
out channel of remote ages. If she
does, the damage would be tre
mendous. As the case now stands
the river is higher than it has ever
been since the memorable snriiier
of 1SS1, when on April LV it reaeh.-d
in altitude of twenty-three feet and
nine and one-half inches above low
water mark. The river is now
eleven feet and three inches above
low water mark and risinir at the
alarming rate of eight inches an
hour. At this rate it will le.mire
but six or seven hours to briii"- it
on a level with the surface of Flor
ence lake, in which event
lanche of water would rush down
this narrow valley :m.i ...... ,,ir :..

the twinkling of an eve almost the
whole surrounding country.
AXXIOUS CROWDS WAITI.Mi.
Large crowds of excited men and
anxious property holders are irath-
ered at the threatened point, hreat h-
lessly watching the inroads of the
current. Separating the extended
northern arm of the lake proper and
river bank is a space of not more
than fifty yards, and this is bein-
encroached upon with a veloeity
that will not require more than the
time above mentioned to turn the
raging waters of the river into the
channel cut years before the settle
mem 01 uie country. The opinion
prevailing among the men watch
ing the earth-annihilating torrent is
that it the rise continues until morn
ing the river will inevitablv be
plunged through the river Led, in
J I. a u t
which event me whole country from
the original west bank to the main
road running north , the railroad
bridge will surely be inundated. As
it is there is but a shadowy remnant
of the old time western river bed
bank left, a mere tracery of dwarf
willows, reeds and rice stalks.

'The Witch."
Of "The Witch," to be presented
at the opera house Tuesday. May 17,
the dramatic critic of the Xew York
Herald said:
"I regret to saj- I missed the
opening a:t oi "The Witch." But
what I saw of it impressed me ver
j
lavorably. It is an effort which re
nects tne 'vreatest credit rn
authors, and with a little revision
might, I think, be made as worthy
in a literary sense as it uiiquestion
lbly is Irom a dramatic standpoint.
It deals with an intervstiii"- sub
Z A 1 - i
jen a suojeet winch gives scope
tor lioiiesv actnii'-. nictnrpniii
tage setting and good writ in"-.
The grim old stories of the witch
finders of Salem have a historic
charm.
'.hor my own part, hardened
playgoer though I am. I confess I
watched each scene with deeo and
childlike interest. I entered into
every hope and fear of the heroine,
1 trembled when she trembled and
rejoiced when she escaped. When
a urama lias this effect on a critic it
has the right s'.uff in it. "The
Witch" may not be perfect, but it is
the best work of its kind, by lonr
ouas, i have seen in Xew York."
This ;is undoubtedly the best at
traction ot the season and should
be greeted by a packed house.
