Deputy United States Marshal Bohme was in the city this morning serving notice upon the county treasurer, clerk and the board of supervisors, to appear at the United States court in Omaha on June SO, 1806, to show cause why man damus should not issue compelling them to pay the judgment against Holt county secured by the National Life Insuranee Company, for the amount of 94,906.08 and costs of suit and interest at the rate of 7 per cent, from 1803. The debt was contracted by the Stuart school district, which issued bonds for building purposes in 1803. The bonds were never paid. The railroad company refused to pay their proportion of the tax and went into the district court of Holt county and secured an injunction restraining the county treasurer from collecting the tax. Now the bond hold ers apply for mandamus to compel him to collect it. It places the county officials between two tires—an injunction from the dis trict court on the one side and a proba ble mandamus from the United States court on the other. A BIO CLBABINO OUT SALB.

Now the Bummer days are lonely and a lad neu o’er us steal*, Nor we’re joined the band of huabanda whoee dear wires bare purobaaed wheels. Now those tender, Juicy beefsteaks are a memory of the past. And the blsoulta onoe so flaky now present a yellow east. And the babies now are squalling and the diahtw are nndone. Nor oar wires hare donned their sweaters and gone out upon a ran. And the bill of the repair man now arouses all our Ire. Nor the patch la on the bloomers and the puncture in the tire. Now the art of riding 'oyolea beat* the art of making pie. When we aak why tea’s not ready we* reoelre the quick reply That it was such lorely riding and the pace so soorolling hot, That the tea and other duties were among the things forgot. Now upon the fleeting ’ejrole all their time the ladle* spend, Leering men to do the housework and the children's cloths' mend. Perished housewifely ambition, dead and gone the kltohen Are; Nor the patch la on the bloomers and the punoture in the tire. Eren baby's legs are going and his Anger* seem to feel The cork handle* of a 'oyole as the miles behind him reel. And the hired girl Is waiting till the sun has settled down. So she can get out her ’oycle and go scooting 'round the town. And In anguish men are asking, “When will all this trouble cease? Is no balm still left In Gilead‘.shall we ne'er again see peace?" But we waste our breath In asking, no reply when we enquire. Nor the patch Is on the bloomerd and the puncture In the tire. —[Will Maurix. THE WXATHXK.
