Seibert was forma ly installed as pastor of the Luth eran church, the services bciu conducted by Rev. Mr. Barnitz, o Des Moines, western secretary of the Lutheran home board of mis sious.

The ocal lodge of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics made the board a proffer of a flag for the the new school building, which was gladly accepted. The rooms on Front street which had been used for high school purposes were vacated, and a committee appointed to wait upon the county commis sioners and see if the court room could not be secured for the Inch school department until December 28th. It was voted to have but two days vacation for the schools at holiday times Christmas Day and New Year's Day. By doing this a week of the lost time can be made up. Last Wednesday evening W, II.

Two more of the loco motives are now in Omaha, and aB soon as broken in will be sent to the Wyoming division. No. 102 went out thta morning with a caboose instead of a coach attached, and the half dozen passen gers probably: had a rough ride.
