STATE IfXWsT The people of Fremont are con siderably tickled oyer the report that the Union Pacific will build a new depot at that place next spring The town needs It. The Kearney cotton mill was sold Tuesday to the Union Savings Bank and Trust Co., for seventy thousand dollars. This company held a mortgage on the plant. . A young lady .at Bradshaw broke her engagement with her best fel low because he sold his steady old horse and bought a young, skittish one. How thoughtless of him, Charles Fowlan of Sargent was rumaging about the local printing office in the dark, when he pulled down an oil stoyc from a shelf. The stove struck him square in the face and blacked both eyes. A recent ruling of the land de partment affects the b tat us ot the children of "squaw men" on the reservations in Nebraska. It haB been decided that such children are the offspring of their lather and therefore arc not entitled to allot ments of land.

Douglas of the Congrega tional church oi Albion as initia tion fees delivered the first Sun shine sermon preached in Nebraska Sunday. The choir of the church rendered Sunshine music, the Junior members decorated the church for the occasion, and several members t owning i typewriters copied the sermon, so that those unable to attend could enjoy read ing it. Several oilier ministers in the state will follow R;v. Douglas' example, There is not a church but ought to havn a Sunshine Branch, for the organization was calculated to bo helpful to all de nominations. If the Methodists have a branch the work makes them better. If Episcopate join they will find their church dearer than ever. If Baptihls become Sun shiners they find thumxclves more cnthuHlaBiastlc Baptists than ever If Presbyterians fall into line their church will be all the stronger.
