Horn armed with a repeating rifle and a
revolver went to the front door of John L
Abbotts residence and asked Mrs Abbott
who came to the door if his little son was

BOARD OF TRANSPORTATION
Reminded by the Governor of Cosn
plnint Fi7 d Some Time Ago
Governor llolcomb has written the sec
retaries o the board of transportation the
following letter I am in receipt- of a reso
lution passed by the Western Nebraska
Stock Growers Association in relation to
the change made by the railroad com
panies in the charges of shipment of live
stock It appears that heretofore a rate
has been made by the carload but since
August IS 187the rale is made by weight
alone I understand that a copy of this
resolution has been forwarded to you and
it respectfully requests that you give it
your immediate attention and careful con
sideration
About a year ago a similar change in
rate3 was made by the railroads upon live
stock shipments but after the matter had
been considerably agitated the railroad
companies decided to return to the old
schedule under which they accepted ship
ments until August 10 last This change
in rate I am informed increases the rate
per carload from the western part of the
state to the union stock yards in South
Omaha from 10 to 15 This is an injus
tice to the farmers and stock raisers of
Western Nebraska and I hope that you
will take the proper steps looking to the
immediate re estalishraent of the old
VON FORELL MAY RESIGN
Election
as Recent Puts Him in a
Delicate Position
The chances seem good that as a result of
the recent election there will bo a vacancy
in the position of chaplain in the State In
dustrial School at Kearney after January
11898 The present chaplain is Rev F Von
Forell who has just been elected regent of
the University of Nebraska It seems
very probable that pressure will be brought
to bear on him to vacate this position and
thus avoid a charge of holding two state
offices at one time While there is nothing
in the constitution which says in so many
words that a regent shall not hold any
lucrative office under the state it is plain
that such is the intention of the law
As there are plenty of ministers in Kear
ney who would be glad to take the re
mainder of the money appropriated by the
legislature for the services of a chaplain it
is likely that pressure for Rev E Von
Forells resignation will bring that docu
ment to the state board of public lands and
buildings within a month or so
Henry Will Soon Be Free
George B Henry the noted bank swind

pendent upon him for support that one of

his attention at his home in Hampton 111

his bondsmen but not the larger sum of
1500 The bank officials have agreed to
the reduction and the judge has granted it
Henry expects to secure the bond and leave
for Illinois this week
