Mr. Riley of Albion, Nebraska, was
in the city Monday. Mr. Riley is the
father of the Riley boys who run a stock

ed in years he still takes great delight
with gun and rod.

farce and not a court room.
A seventeen year old son of John Mo*;

Eagle, was accidently shot last Sunday
and instantly killed. He and another
boy were out in a road cart hunting
when the gun slipped through between
the slabs in the bottom of the cart and
was discharged. The charge struck the
boy in the side and ranged upwards.
The funeral occurred Tuesday.
The lectures on electricity deiiyered
Monday and Tuesday evenings by Mr.
Favour, at the rink, for the benefit of
the teachers were well attended and
highly appreciated. His lectures are in

nature and well worth the price of ad
mission to those whose duty it is to
train the young idea.

After Stirring Again.
Mike Herrington, on behalf of the
secretary of the Holt county alliance,
who is also candidate for representative
on the pop ticket, whose other name is
IiobertBon, has started afresh proceed
ings of ouster in the Sklrving impeach
ment case. That is, a new petition haB
been filed with the clerk, although
notice of trial has not yet been served
upon defendant. The prayer of tho
petition is that defendant be compelled
by mandamus to vacate his office by
virtue of the supervisors' record as
amended at their last meeting. Hon.
Judge Jackson, of Neligh, was in the
city Tuesday looking up the case for
the defense.
Transfer Switch Case.
Geo. H. Hasting, Mr. Dillworth, and
J. N. Koontz, of the state board of
transportation, arrived in the city Sun
day evening to apply in the district
court for mandamus to compel the rail
roads at this point to comply with the
order of the board in regard to connect
ing the Short Line and F. E. at this
point by a transfer switch.
General Hawley, attorney for the F.
E., was also in the city for the purpose
of resisting issuance ot the mandamus.
The case was submitted Tuesday be
fore Judge Chapman and agreement
made to argue it in Cmaba some time
next month.
The railroads have attacked the con
stitutionality ot the law as they allege
that it attempts to do too much under
one head. Besides providing for the
putting in of switches it also attempts to
fix rates for long and short hauls. The
question will probably be decided in the
supreme court within the next three
months.
An Editor’s Opinion.
We give below an extract from a
letter written by the editor of Irrigation
Age, Chicago, to James M. Kerr, the
New Tork gentleman who has submitted
proposition for construction of the
ditch. The extract is interesting be
cause it comes from one who is author
ity on irrigation und really leaves no
doubt as to the practicability of the
project.
I believe the Niobrara River Irriga
tion and Power company is a good
scheme. Of course it is only on paper
now. Campbell’s report carries great
weight with investors. The supply of
water in the Niobrara is large and al
most entirely open to appropriation. The
country to be watered is on that
shadowy line which divides the rain belt
from the arid region, and my observa
tion istha’.lfarmers are verv murcuriai in
Ruch localities and their patronage is
not to be depended upon as it is in the
real arid region. When it rains they
think the climate is changing. How
ever my impression of the enterprise is
very favorable. If you were to depend
upon a colony from Holland, as you
suggest, the point I mention would cut
no figure. I believe the land and water
to be all right.
Scott Bond Case.
The Scott bond case is at last on the
boards and the mills of justioe started.
Judge Chapman, of Plattsmouth, pre
siding, his son Tom, reporting. Attor
neys, Bartlett, of Omaha, Watson, of
Nebraska City, and Uttley and Dickson,
of this city appearing for the bondsmen,
and Harrinton and Murphy, of this city,
prosecuting.
The case was to have been called up
Monday morning, but as somebody had
failed to notify the jury, they were not
on band and the case went over until
Tuesday morning to give the sheriff an
opportunity to bring his good and true
men from the four corners of the
county.
It was 2 o’clock Tuesday before a jury
was finally selected and the case begun
in earnest.
The bondsmen seek to escape liability
upon negligence of the board in not
settling with the treasurer at the time
fixed by statute, and for the further
reason that the bond was changed by
the addition of two names after it had
once been approved.
The question devolves upon a matter
of law and fact, and it would look now
that by the time it gets to the jury they
will have nothing to consider but the
judge’s instructions.
It is thought that the case will be
finished this week.
Lateu—The end of the case came a
great deal sooner than was expected,
especially by Harrington. It was dis
missed yesterday afternoon upon motion
of Mr. Bartlett, the vital point being
that the board vitiated the bond when it
allowed those two additional sureties to
be placed upon it after it was approved.
We have not the space this week to
make exteded mention of the case but
will give full particulars^!! our next.

county.
Such location is subject to revision,
and the location of said canal as above
stated may at any time be modified or

termined to be to the best interest of
tbe enterprise so to do. The length of
said canal will be about two huudred
and fifty miles (250) miles, together
with about six hundred (600) miles of
laterals, with the capacity as estimated
of about 180 cubic feet per second at its
terminus.
Tbe proposed canal will be construct

and specifications to be approved and
provided by engineers and other experts
in the construction of such works.
The said canal will be constructed and

Deceased was born in London, Eng

The funeral which occurred Monday
at 4 o’clock, from the M. E. church,
was perhaps as grand as nny ever given
an O’Neill citizen. General John
O'Neill post G. A R. had charge of the
ceremonies. The Bartley guards at
tended in uniform, and with the O’Neill
cornet band beading the procession,
softly playing a funeral dirge, made a
typical soldier's burial. At the grave
the comrades of the deceased held short
services, after which the funeral escort
fired its salute, the bugler sounded taps,
the seston did his duty and “Uncle Jim

i Peace to his ashes.

The Jew doean’t seem to know his
own mind seven days at a time. When
our militia company was in the throes of
organization he wildly denounced every
body to leave it severely alone, but now
the' he finds it succeeds in spite of his
onposition and is regarded with pride by
cur citizens, he fails in line and wishes
the company G.>d speed. Great trim

Last June Dick Crawford brought his
twelve-months-old child suffering from
infantile diarrhoea, to me. It bad been
weaned at four months old and had al
ways been sickly. I gave it the usual
in such cases but without benefit. The
child kept growing th'nner untill it
weighed but little more than it did when
born, or perhaps ten pounds. I then
started the father to giving Chamber
lain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Before one bottle of the 25
cent size had been used a marked im
provement was seen and its continued
use cured the child. Its weakness 'and
puny constitution disappeared and its
father and myself believe the chad’s life
was saved by this Remedy. J. T.
