of the failure of the plaintiff to carry out
certain conditions of a contract they had
suffered $20,000 damages.

ments the plaintiffs made an agree
ment with the defendant by which this
mortgage was released and the Omaha Na

The plaintiffs Instituted foreclosure proceed
ings , claiming that their mortgage was a
first Hen , and on those Issues the case wont

AlCIIOlt DAI' IX TllJC SCHOOLS.
LINCOLN , April 9 , 1894. That Arbor day
s recognized as one of the Institutions of the
tate Is attested by the following proclam.i-
lon of the governor of Nebraska :
"Inasmuch as the 22d day of April , the day
eslgnuted by the statute as Arbor day , falls
his year on Sunday , I recommend that the
ay following , Monday , the 23d day of April ,
be rocoglnzed as Arbor- day , and that It bo
observed by the citizens and public author
ities of the state by a generous planting of
trees , and by the public schools by exercises
bellttlng the occasion. "
In accordance with the ; governor's procla
mation and with the diatom of the Depart
ment of Education of tho-state of Nebraska ,
I heartily recommend that county and city
superintendents , principals of graded schools
and teachers of the state use every effort to
secure the co-operation of patrons and chil
dren In the proper observance of Arbor day.
Having Its origin In Nebraska , It is now
annually observed by all but five of the
states and territories of the union , uml Is
established In some parts of a number of
foreign countries.
A fitting program for the school on that
day would consist of appropriate songs ,
recitations , orations , readings and brief ad
dresses In connection with the planting of
trees nnd shrubs on the school grounds ; and
all of these exercises may bo made to em
phasize the use and the Importance of tree-
planting. It Is unnecessary to prescribe
specific exercises , for there Is such a wealth
of material that the Intelligent teacher will
have no difficulty In selecting an abundance
for the purposes of the day.
It Is said that since 1872 over 700,000 acres
of trees have been planted In Nebraska alone ;
this Is equal to a forest over thirty-three
miles square.
J. Sterling Morton , the "father of Arbor
day , " says : "It Is a practical anniversary.
It Is a beautiful anniversary. To the com
mon schools of the country I confide Its per
petuation and usefulness with the same abid
ing faith that I would commit the acorn to
the earth , the tree to the soil , "
The common schools of the country have .
accepted the trust which Mr. Morton com-
mlteit to them , nnd I am sure that his "nbld
Ing faith" In the willingness of the ncliooln
to perpetuate practical and so beautiful an
anniversary hasj nqt been misplaced.
Last year I noiit out to the boys And girls
of Nebraska a letter concerning the day , In
which I Invited ! th m "to have eomo one of
your class wrlto mo a letter and tell me
all about your .Arbor day. " In response to
this request several , hundred letters came to
this ofilco from the boys and girls , I found
It Impossible to send personal letters In re
ply to all of those , but It was n matter of
personal gratification to me to find In these
letters the evidences of successful composi
tion teaching In so many of the schools of
the state , both graded and ungraded , These
loiters are on fllo In this office and are n
part of Its records. It Is a matter of national
congratulation that perhaps In no other
country In the world would It be possible
for no largo n proportion of so small children
to write letters at all , to say nothing of the
character of the letters written ; and It Is
also a mater for congratulation that this Is
n result of the free common school system
of the state.
So greatly was I Interested In the letters
from the boys nnd girls that I now send n
second Invitation to them to wrlc ( me again
this year full accounts of the observance of
the day. Let these letters come from the
sod school house as well as from the brick
high school building. I shall bo pleased to
have teachers read this circular letter to
their schools on Arbor day , nnd to find that
this year , as never before , the day has been
widely observed.

WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL.
Question Itii'neil Aliout IMiieutlng the Chil
dren uf ( 'ilt.OIT Island.
A perplexing question and one which Is
giving him no little anxiety has taken pos
session of the mind of George W. Hill , the
superintendent of schools of this county.
This question Is , "What shall bo done with
the children In the extreme northeastern
corner of this county , and where shall they
attend school ? "
Some years ago at a point where the Mis
souri river Intersected the northeast corner
of Douglas county It hugged the bluffs on
the Iowa side , making n huge bend and
leaving a large tract of fertile bottom land
In Nebraska. At that time this tract of
bottom land was attached to one of the
Douglas county school districts , and Into the
coffers of that district the residents of the
land paid their taxes , sending their children
to the school house that was situated not far
from the western borders of the district.
During one of the freshets , when the
river got outside of Its banks , the channel
toro through the rich bottom , changing its
course , leaving most of the settlers upon
the Iowa side of the stream. Not being
able to walk upon water , as was the cus
tom In days of ancient writ , the children ,
fifteen In number , were prevented from at
tending the old school on the Nebraska side.
There was a school near them In Iowa , but
owing to the fact that the land on the cut
off was assessed In Douglas county the Potta-
wattamlo authorities denied the
youngsters admission. For some
years the situation has remained
in this condition , but now Superintendent
Hill Is about to solve the problem. Yesterday
ho went to Council Bluffs for the purpose ot
conferring with the authorities of Potta-
wattamlc county , his Idea being to have the
two counties jmlto In the formation of a
new school district and locate n school , tlio
expense of which will bo paid Jointly by the
two counties of the state. If such
an agreement can be reached Mr. Hill will
at once establish a school where the resi
dents of the cut-off can educate their little
ones. _

company , E. D. Van Court , J. L. Black , the
Standard Paving company , the Nebraska
Paving company , Richard Smith , Samuel
Katz & Co. , P. II. Mtthoney and Hugh
Murphy competing for the work. These bids
showed such a range of prices that the com
missioners were unable to decide who were
the lowest bidders , and consequently all the
propositions were referred to the county
clerk for tabulation , to bo returned at a
meeting to bo held Saturday morning , April
21 , at 10 o'clock.
On bidding for the roadway , sixteen feet
In width , the rangc'of prices was as follows :

roadway , eight feet In width , the range was
as follows : Granite , $2.75 to $3.30 ; Colorado
sandstone , $2.46 to $1.12 ; trck , $1.87 to $3.25 ;
macadam , $1.12 to $1.S7 ; asphalt , $3.58 to
$4,03. All of the bids were upon the basis
of so much per lineal foot.
After the bids had been opened and read
It was discovered that some of the bidders
had not put up the required amount of
money entitling them to bid upon all of the
three roads. A resolution was offered , and
