This will lie done, solely in the
hope of lirinKinj,' up the removal
question immediately after; ami
if the jail lax is defeated the re-
uiovalisls will point with pride to
the fact as an excuse! for what
they want. The Louisville Courier,
the llrsl paper to nive pniilirity to
the re-local ion scheme, admits
lliat once the jail proposition is
carried it is piod-bye to the other.

in Wheatland under the auspices
of the Odd Fellows and the
Daughters of Rehekah, and was
largely attended by the friends of
Mr. Hurke in Wheatland, where
he bad been a very highly re
spected citizen for several years.
Mr. Hurke was SS years of age
at the lime of his death and was
lutnarried and leaves three sisters
and one brother to mourn his un
timely death, namely: Mrs. Peter
Akeson, Chappell, Neb.; Mrs. (lil
green, Dalton, Neb.; Mrs. Joseph

who knew him and his death came
as a great shock to his friends in
Wheatland and to the, relatives
who were all at Wheatland In at
tend the funeral services.
The trip was very wearing on
Mr. and Mrs. lladraba and on the
return trip they were compelled
to go through very slormy weath
er, it snowing very heavily in the
west portion of Nebraska, and as
they proceeded east the rain was
very heavy. v
THE CALABASH PIPE IN
DUSTRY IN NEBRASKA
An article appeared in I he Oma
ha News recently in regard to the
Calabash pipe industry and the
increasing number of persons who
were engaged in the raising of
these gourds, whose popularity as
a means of making pipes is rapid
ly increasing. Those who have
investigated the subject find thai
the soil of Ibis part of Nebraska is
particularly adapted to I he raising
of Ihe gourds and lliat in the soil
of Nebraska the gourds grew as
luxuriantly as in that of South
Africa, where they were lirst
found. Mike McCool of this city
has raised a large number of
I hem and sold a few to bis friends,
who had pipes made of theni equal
to (he finest put on the market,
and this season he will again
plant some of the gourds, as there
is a steadily growing demand for
them lo make into pipes.
