ment that the exposed portion of thebig
South Side irrigation flume up near
Sutherland has been carried around to

perhaps, occasion some trouble in re

this enterprise are of a character that no

indulged in between the chief of the fire
department and the. members of the

to correspond rith a number of electrical
companies relative.to the cost of putting

state. In this connection it might be an
item of information to state that the
bank at Holdrcge with which one of the
original promoters of the local project
was connected, has gone broke.
The Methodist relief store in this city
has furnished over 100 families, or about
1,200 persons, with more or less clothing
and provisions during the past three
months. These supplies came principally
from Methodist congregations in the east
though in the distribution of the same
sect has not been recognized and all
worthy applicants have been supplied
liberally. Mrs. Leonard, -wife of the
presiding elder, has given almost her
entire time to the distribution of these
supplies, thus showine her interest in
behalf of the needy.
The memorial services in commem-
oration of the late A. H. Church at S. A.
Douglas post hall Saturday night were
of more than usual interest, and were
largely attended. Adjutant Hess read
the war. and Grand Army record of the
deceased comrade, and this followed by
addressee by General Thayer and Co ab
rades Hoagland, Ray, Evans, Brown,
and Goozee, each speaking in glowing
terms of the many good traits of our
late esteemed citizen. The Y..M.C. A.

occasion Jifn. Hilliker acting as organist.

It is a source of regret to the per
sonal friends of 'General Thayer in this
city that his lecture at. Keith's hall Fri
day evening was hot more largely at
tended, for the address was certainly an
interesting one, and many facts relative
to General Grant, not generally known,
were brought out during the course of
the lecture. General Thayer's acquaint
ance with Grant dated from the time
the latter was in command of a limited
force at Pilot Knob, Mo., in the early
part of the rebellion, and the personal
friendship there formed was continued
during the remainder of Grant's life.
Gen. Thayer's regiment, the First Ne
braska, wus in Grant's command at the
i
important battles of Fort Donelson and
Vicksburg, the Nebraska regiment play
ing an important part part in the first
named engagement, and it was during
that time that Thayer became so inti
mately acquainted with the leading
characteristics of the great commander.
The general spoke for over an hour and
a half, and interested his hearers every
minute of the time.
Judge Sinclair is as genuine a joker
as ever graced the wool sack. The rea

man of jury which was out deliberating
upon its verdict stating one of the jurors
had refused to ballot upon Sunday, and
inquiring if there were no way of com
pelling the derelict to diligently proceed
with the business in hand. The judge

the news is
borne out by 'the following from the
Xlandv Pioneer: "Quite a squabble is
on at North Platte over three cars of
wheat received from Oregon. It seems
that they were secured through the
efforts of I. N. JFroman, who expected
Whittier precinct to fall heir to the fri its
of his labors; but Mr. Lutlden and the
county central relief committf e of Lin
coln county have intervened in behalf of
Lincoln county as a whole, and insist
that no precinct shall receive more than
its pro rata share. Froman is at the
seat of war and 19 working every device
at his command to secure the grain, but
t if
at last accounts was ready to accept a
compromise wnereby Whittier precinct
would secure one car. In justice it
would seem 'that Whittier should receive
at least that amount."

Our northern neighbor was eminently
correct in the above paragraph, as later
developments have proven. Last night
the remnants of the gallant old Indus
trial Legion, under the determined
leadership of C1. Rob'jb Arundalo and
Capt. I.N. Froman invaded the sacred
confines of .the .county clerk's room and
corralled the two populist county com-"
missioners the junior member being in
attendance at a meeting of the city
council. Instead .of having inscribed
upon their banners "Bread or Blood," as
was their woof, during the Coxey regime,

upon the part. of the army, the commis
sioners agreed to loose- their tentacles
