Town of Union Has Visitation of Hoboes Friday Sheriff Eeed and Deputy Bex Young Visit Town and Herd Wander on Their Way H. L. Kruger Paint and Wall Paper Store SCE00L FUNDS SHOW WELL With the close of the school year the members of the board of educa tion are feeling well rleased with the fact that they will probably bo able to make a one mill cut in the school levy for the ensuing year. The school bond fund3 have $36, 602.03. invested and which returns a good rate of interest to the school and aids in the saving to the funds, there is $4,000 which is not invested owing to the necessity of keeping this amount for the payment of interest and other incidentals, it being im possible to Invest to the limit the funds of the board. The schools this year will have a balance of $10,000 for the year which is a most pleasing showing for the manner of handling the Echool business affairs. The board had first thought of a j cut of two mills but in order to pro tect against the possibility of slow or uncertain tax payments they will protect thempelves by leaving the additional one-mill for this year. From Saturday's Daily- Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Bert Reed and Deputy Sheriff Rex Young were at Union where they were call ed bv the sudden influx of some dozen hoboes who were unloaded there from one of the Missouri Paci fic freieht trains and for a time made things lively at the southern Cass county town. The men had been riding on the freight from the north and when reaching Union were a stop was made by the train, the conductor very diplomatically herded the men on his train, all getting off with good erace except two who made some very strenuous objections to leaving tho train and were eiecteu wun force. The sheriff and deputy found the men not at an wariiKe or mi-uueu to make anv trouble and they were sent on their way southward with out any trouble, but not via the Mis souri Pacific boxcar route. One of the men who was put off the train decided to take a warlike farewell of the train conductor, se curing a large stone and concealing himself at the end of the depot building proceeded to hurl the stone at the conductor hut the onject merely struck the shoe of the con ductor and did no injury and the train moved on with the travelers following on foot toward Otoe county. MINISTERIAL MEETING LOSE COMMANDING OFFICE It is a matter of general regret in this section of Nebraska to learn that Colonel C. A. Trott, command ing officer of the Seventeenth in fantry at Fort Crook, has been trans ferred to the headquarters of the ninety-fourth division at Boston. He will report to his new station on June 25th to take up his duties. The successor to Colonel Trott at Fort Crook has not been announced by the war department. Col. Trott has made a splendid commanding officer of the Seven teenth infantry and his interest and participation in the social and gen eral life of the community has made him very popular among the resi dents of this portion of Nebraska, and it is with regret that the notice of his transfer is received, altho in the life of an army officer he is given only a -short period at the various posts over the United States and the colonial possessions. The ministers of the Cass County Ministerial Association assembled in the First M. E. church at Louisville on Wednesday. June m ai u:ia a. m. to conduct tneir regular monin ly meeting. A fellowship luncheon preceded the regular meeting. Promptly at 12:30 p. m., the various ministers and their companions gath ered about the table to partake of the fruits of this earth, and to en joy an hour of Christian and frater nal fellowship. At 2:30 p. m., the chairman, Rev. II. E. Sorter called the meeting to order. After a brief devotional service, we were permit ted the rare privilege to listen to a well prepared essay, entitled "Some Phases oi' Missionary Conditions and Problems in China." This essay was written by Rev. C. F. Snyder of Weeping Water who has spent about thirty years in Missionary work In i China. The discourse was Intensely i nteresting from beginning to end and every minister present was deep ly touched and his heart stirred as the v.-ords of our colleague cafe to our ears. It was a constructive mes sage, brim full with nrst hand in formation. A motion prevailed that we con duct a Union Gospel service at Union, Nebraska, in the Baptist church on Sunday, June 15th at 2:30 p. m. Rev. W. W. Kraetzer of Elm- wood and Rev. J. S. Street of Alv.) were selected aa the main speakers and each allotted fifteen minutes. The Baptist church of Union and the Mennonite church of Weeping Water are to render one special musical number each respectively. A motion prevailed that we have our next meeting on July 1st in the M. E. church at Alvo at 11:30 a. m., and that we have a general get-together meeting and each pastor pres ent Is to render some number in music, story or brief address. This will be the last meeting for the summer. A motion prevailed to adjourn. Closing prayer by Rev. C. F. Snyder. H. R. KNOSP, Secretary.

A FREAK CALF Last Tuesday, Maurice Robertson's Jersey cow gave birth to what might be termed a double calf. It had two normal heads, four front legs, two back bones, two tails, and two sets of internal organs. The hip hones were Joined together so that the calf had hind lees. Had it been twins each one would have been nor Tvifil ci7p nnd fullv developed. This female freak would have lived, but under such abnormal circumstances it was impossible to save it and the cow. too. The cow is getting along nicely under the vigilant care of her owner. She was his 4-H club heifer, and he thinks she's about the finest cow there is. Severn l of the neighbors came to see the freak. Eagle Beacon. Floods Block U. P. Main Line Near Kearney Crew of 400 Held in Readiness to Repair Damages ; Power Finn Canal Breaks Kearney, June 4. Traffic on the Union Pacific railroad was still in terrupted Wednesday night, due to the washing out of about 2,300 feet of tracks two miles west of here Tuesday night. A force of about 400 mpn. with Diledrivers. cranes and other equipment, was at hand ready to commence reconstruction work as soon as the water subsided sufficient ly. Water was still pouring through break in the Central Power Co. canal. Damage is attributed to torrential rains which fell from Kearney west to Lexington Tuesday night and Wed nesday morning. Hundreds of acres of land were inundated and many farms were cut off, but livestock losses, due to the flood, were few. The extent of crop damage cannot be estimated. Loss Exceeds $100,000 Loss to the Central Power Co. and the Union Pacific will exceed $100, 000, it was believed. General Man ager N. N. Williams stated Wednes day night that crews were doing all preliminary work possible and that actual restoration of the two lines of track would be speeded up as soon as the work could commence. Passengers west bound, have been routed over the Burlington via Hast- ngs. The east bound trains, trap ped since midnight Tuesday, are held up at Lexington and other points. Highway Flooded. The Lincoln highway is flooded in many places and impassable, tourist traffic being routed south over the L. D. Wood river, north of Kearney, is out of its banks, as are all small creeks and streams, causing further crop damage.

All along the line, after fifth place, shifts in population have bumped some cities down the ladder and tak en some into new position, but it was the western sector that the most spectacular growths were recorded. Nebraska now has 107 incorpor ated places of 1,000 or more, accord ing to a check made Friday by Vic tor D. Reynolds, Omaha census director.

Now they have slipped Into the 6,000 classification, while Falls City of the southeast sector has gone into the 5.000 rank With three additions, Nebraska now now has 17 cities of 5,000 or more, compared to 14 In 1920 Beatrice was sixth in population in 1920. Now it is eighth, Fremont and Norfolk having slipped into sixth and seventh, respectively. Columbus Climbs. Kearney, Scottsbluffs and Nebras ka City stay 9th to 11th, respectively, as they were in 1920, but Columbus has crept up from 13th to 12th Alliance is 13th and McCook 14th. Fairbury, formerly 12th, has dropped to 15th, and York, 14th in 1920, has dropped to 17th, being displaced as 16 th by Falls City. Hastings gained 33 per cent to lead in the central section.

The county commissioners at their session "Wednesday took up the mat ter of the application of the school board in district No. 96, or the town of Manley, for the levy of a tax in the school district that will permit the erection of a new building at that place. The cost of the building will be $12, 500 and the levy will run over an eight year period before it is retired. The commissioners and county board of equalization will have to figure the amount to be levied each year to retire a part of the cost and the interest. Manley has long needed a new school as the present structure has been gradually getting more inade quate each year until the matter of the erection of a new building was submitted to the people of the dis trict and the school board author ized to go ahead and see about the letting of the contract for the build- 1,155 1.813 2,322 8,568 2,962 1.446 2.226 1,559 1.616 1 2.172 1.787 2.712 6.896 2.465 2.333 1920. 1.233 2.127 4,412 1,646 J--!J 1.581 708 I - 4,591 I 955 I 6,912 i "sX 1,'29S I 1.508 I l7y.fS 1,300 Jx ti At 1,431 f " -e-'i 1.4 46 LKV JZI H i;i ppil V 1.596 !J ?:o68f 2,702 w WvyJCA 2.002 V XV V7;i7 f wmK 1.062 I WVV ' w fern E R Large awards for damages arising from an accident occur J ring under your Groof or on your property might cause you tem porary if not permanent fi nancial trouble.
