An effort is being made by the
State Journal , World-Ilorald and
two or three other daily papers , to
raise by popular subscription a sum
sutlioiont to transport the Fifth Ne
braska Regiment from San Fran
oisoo to their homes in Nebraska.
The plan is to have as many as can
advance $20.00 oaoh for the enter
prise , and have the governor recom
mend to the Btato legislature to
make an appropriation to roimburpc
those who advance the money. The
girls of Broken Bow riusod $ MU for
the fund. It is a legitimate and
laudable scheme , and at least * 2)0 ( )

The deceased was n native of Illi
nois , but had boon a resident of this
city Hiiioo a small boy , with the ex
ception of a few months last year ,
when ho worked in a store in Illi
nois. The past year ho had boon
associated with his father in the
butcher business until the 7th of
last July , when ho accepted a posi
tion as brakemau on the passcngor
division at Alliance , Nebraska , Ins
runs being east to Ravenna and
west to Edgomont , S. D. Aug. 3d
he arrived homo , with a Hovoro at-
tatik of the fever , having worked
several days before ho would yield
to the terrible disease Ho was ( ! "
lirious much of the lime from the
date ho roaohod homo until death
relieved him from his suffering. At
the ago of twelve years ho was con-
.verted , and united with the U. B ,
church. Ho was of a genial dispo
union , and an exemplary young man ,
and enjoyed the esteem of a
r largo circle of young associ
ates , as well as the admiration
of all who know him , for his manly
demeanor. He was a boy of more
than ordinary intolligouco , ambi
tious , and was looked upon by all
who know him intimately , as ono
who would mnko his mark in the
world. But his frail body was not
strong enough to withstand the
dread disopso which had fastened
itself upon himand he was cut oil in
his youth , and wo are ai ain re
minded thui death is no rcspootor of
11,40 , but while the old must , the
young may die , and all should be
propr.rod for the event , let it come
when it may. The funeral services
were hold Monday , a' . 10 o'clock , in
the M. E. church The sermon was
) roaohod by Rev. liornaday , assisted
> y Rov. Megan , The funeral wan
very largely attended. The Rici-un-
, IOAN extends sympathy to the
) oroavod parents , sisters and broth
ers , in their great sorrow.

olmirmnn and WilliH Cadwoll Hoore-
ary. The olmirman was autliorirod
o visit Omaha with the view of
arranging with the B. & M.rnilroiid
company for transportation. In
his I\lr. \ Rubieo was able to aoouro
juito a liberal concession from ro-
; ular rates. A train of BIX coaches
uolmling a baggage oar was charted
o run on special tiino for $200.
-The date agreed upon for the ex
cursion wan August 10th. The
tliiu of the committee was to pro
vide free transportation for nil
children enrolled in the several
Sunday schools. In order to
raise the fund necessary to moot the
oi-ponsoH , adults were ohargad ono
iollar for the round trip. A solicit
ng committee , consisting of 1C. J.
? ittaway , D. M. Amsborry , L. 1C
Wilson and Judge Bonjamino were
appointed to secure funds , from the
city schools and W. J. i\Viudnaglo
ind John Street to solicit their
chools in the country. As a result
of the canvass , there were 073 persons -
sons boarded the train Thursday

contributed to the fund to moot
ho expenses. The train loft Broken

o'clock , without a misshap or incid
ent of note , except that Mrs. A.
Wallace , while looking out of a oar
window lost her hat. On reaching
Savanna the company was escorted
to the grove half mile distant on
, ) lo $3uivoi. . On Tot..Ui.v < , tlm
grounds wo found the oiti/.ens of
Havana had errootod a atago , seat ? ,
and tables for our occammodutions ,
licsidoH having the ground in ele
gant Hliapo. Thoy4bad also provided
for traunporting our bankets to and
from the grounds and kept the
grounds supplied all day with 100
water. As our committee had pro
vided lemons and sugar-an abundant
supply of ice cold lemonade .was
kept on tap all day , so for once the
children as well us every body else
liad all the lemonade they could
drink.flho Itavonna cornet band
furnished music for the ctowd the
entire day , which added very mucli
to the enjoyment of the occasion.
The treatment received from the
railroad officers and employes as
well , as the interest taken in our
comfort by the cili/.ons of Ravenna
was very highly appreciated by all
who enjoyed their hospitality. The
day was greatly enjoyed by both
old and young and the opinion
seemed to be unanimous that a Sun
day school picnic to Ravenna should
in the future bo an annual affair.
The following literary program WUH
rendered before noon.
