A citizen's meeting convened in Odd

would take out policies amounting to
$600,000, an opera house costing not less
than $20,000 would be built by the com
pany . A paper was circulated, and $229,
400 worth of policies were subscribed for,
with this provision. $8,000 were raised
Tuesday, and the work of raising the re
quired amount has nearly been completed,
the company allowing all policies issued
prior to this date, amounting to nearly
$45,000 to be included in the above con

The arrest of J. R. Gatewood, postmas
ter at Eustis, Frontier county, Neb., was
caused Tuesday of last week by Postoffice
Inspector A. P. Frederick, on the charge
of embezzling the government funds,
rifling the mail of its contents and run
ning the affairs of the office in a very
loose and reckless manner. Mr. Fred
erick, who was met by a Gazette-Journal
reporter in this city Tuesday, says it is
the most infamous case in all its phases
he has ever encountered in the govern
ment service. Gatewood is an unmarried
man, about twenty-five years of age, and
was engaged in the drug business at Eus
tis when appointed postmaster. He fell
into bad habits and began drinking and
gambling, shamefully neglecting the af
fairs of his offlte. Complaints began to
pour into the department about the office
and an investigation was made. It has
been ascertained that Gatewood used $120
in postage stamps to pay an old board bill
and some of his gambling debts. This
did not meet his shameful needs, and he
proceeded to steal the contents of ordinary
and registered letters. When he had
misappropriated all the stamps to his
personal use, he would receive money
and letters and cast the latter into a con
venient pile of waste and rubbish, and
many of these have been scattered around
the office. This has caused in some cases
some very serious business delays and
complications. Not a few settlers have
the titles to their homesteads involved in
very grave difficulty, and one farmer in
the vicinity, who had mailed a registered
letter to a Lincoln loaning firm, has had
snit brought against him owing to his ap
parent failure to comply with the terms
of the contract. A pretty bad mess has
been made all around. Two weeks ago
Gatewood left the town on a sort of spree
and was arrested in Cozad, Dawson coun
ty, where he was found in a saloon tend
ing bar. The, prisoner was placed in
charge of Deputy U. S. Marshall Allen
and taken to Omaha for preliminary hear
ing. Hastings Gazette-Journal.

Deputy Sheriff McCowan took in a
stolen team last Saturday. The team had
been hired from Cox & Hill, liverymen at
Benklemen, Neb., by a party who repre
sented himself to be a minister, and who
brought the team up into Frontier county
and sold it to Mr. Hobb. who lives several
miles west of Curtis, for a gold watch and
fifty dollars in cash, Mr. Hobb hadn't
the cash, just then in his possession, so he
came to Curtis and borrowed the money
of the State Bank, giving a mortgage on
the team and wagon. Jap Adams, who
had been traveling in search of a party
making away with mortgaged property,
heard of the affair at Benkleman and
brought word to Curtis that a reward was
offered for the return of the team. As
soon as it was known that the team was in
the county several parties made attempts
to get the property first, so as to claim the
reward, but McCowin headed them off
and got the team. Sheriff Moore of
Dundy county. Neb., took the team to
Benkleman Tuesday morning. Curtis

It has been suggested to the pencil-

heathen abroad until those at home are

They are coming from the deserts of
the dim and dusty east, where to raise a
stunted turnip gives the prospect of a
feast, where the farms are made of gravel
and they plow with dynamite, where the
festive chattel mortgage sings its dirges
day and night; they are coming in the
wagons, they are coming on the train,
they are coming from the regions where
they struggled long in vain ; they are com
ing from the cabin, they are coming from
the hall, they are coming to Nebraska,
where there's plenty for them all . They
are coming from the southland, they are
coming from the north ; from the valleys
and the mountains they in droves are
coming forth ; they are coming with their
husbands, they are coming with their
wives, they are coming with their ham
mers, with their needles and their knives ;
with their harrows and their planters, and
their pencils and their guns, they are
coming with their fathers, with, their
mothers and their sons. They are com
ing stout and slender, they are coming
short and tall, they are coming to Nebras
ka where there's plenty for them all.
Where you needn't dig potatoes with a
sabre or a dirk, where, when rain is badly
needed then the ruin gets in its work ;
where the rivers moan and murmur on
their journey to the sea, where the
breezes tackle corn stalks, big as fence
posts, on the lea; where the savage lately
wandered in his search for human hair
while his hoarse and howling war cry
floated on the summer air; where a hun
dred braves would answer to the chief
tain's battle call, they are coining to Ne
braska where there's plenty for them all.
Where the savage used to wander, yearn
ing for a crop of hair, now the farmer
takes his porkers to the nearest county
fair, and the corn is eaily growing where
the greasy wigwam stood; where he burn
ed the wailing captive now the poultry
scratch for food ; and the people who are
coming to this pleasantest of climes, show
a happy knack of keeping with the pro
gress of the times ; they will find a conn
try beaming from the spring time to the
fall, when they land up in Nebraska,
where there's plenty for them all. 2'opics.
When you meet a man he will say:
"How are you?" He dosen't wait to
hear how yon are and you don't expect
him to. Instead of asking him you say:
"How do you ?" Yon don't pause to hear
how he does, and if he wants to explain,
you wouldn't listen to him. He goes his
way and you go your way. He forgets
all about you and you forget all about
him. You meet another man and talk
with him a few minutes, and when the
parting occurs, you say: "So long."
He says: "Ta ta." What does "so long"
mean? What does "ta ta" mean ? What's
the matter with Volapuk ? Since we are
eternally saying things which "little
meaning, little relevence bear," what's the
difference about language ? Ex.
Robert Ingersol sa3-s: "I tell you that
women, as a rule, are more faithful than
men ten times more faithful. I never
saw a man pursue his wife into the verj
ditch and dust degredation and take her
in his arms. I never saw a man at the
shore where he was wrecked waitinsr for
the waves to bring back her corpse to his
arms, but I have seen women with their
white arms lift man from the mire of
degredation and hold him to her bosom
as if he was an angel ."
There is now a postoffice for every
1,000 men, women and children in the

cents a year for having his mail carried.
