The Nebraska fLh oar passed through
O'Neill last night and left seven cans of
the finny tribe at this station for parties
in the northern part of the county who

seven cans were put off here but the

although having representatives at the
car to receive them.
Charles Nelson, an employe at Mul

! Sunday by a horse that was brought in

On last Mouday evening a lodge of
the Order of Eastern Star, a society
auxiliary to the Masons, was organized

associate matron, Mrs T. li. Evans;
secretary,Miss Maude Gillespie; treaurer
Miss Eva P. llarnisb. Grand Patron L.
D. Woodruff of Lincoln was preseut and
organized the lodge, which starts out
with a membership o* twenty-three.
The event was made the occasion of a
lunch and social time for the members
atter the organization was completed.
It seems that the company of N bras
ka national guards that General Barry
had scheduled for O’Neill has collapsed.
Before the company was organized the
general visited .O’Neill and talked np
a company with those who la.ler got the
organization together. He seemed very
anxious that onr city should have a
company and urged its organization at
once. This was along the fore part of
March, and the boys were to know by
April 1 when they were to be mustered
in. A correspondence was kept up be
tween Captain Hall and General Barry.
Along the last of March Captain Hall
wrote the general reminding him of his
promise to set them a date by April 1,
Captain Hall received no reply, nor has
the company been mustered in. Two
weeks ago General Barry was again in
the city, ostensibly for political pur
poses—as it is said he has a congression
al bee in his bonnet with hopes of suc
ceeding Neville—but never mentioned
militia to any of the company until he
was ready to step on the cars on his re
turn to Lincoln, when, After being press
ed into the eubjeot by a query from
John Robertson,said toCaptaiu Hall and
Lieutenant Davidson that they need not
allow their aspirations to rise too high
over the company as they might be dis
appointed. Up to date the dispointment
is still in force and Captain dall says he
looks for nothing now, though he nor
any others of the company do not feel
very keenly the sting of the disappoint
ment.
Just as the society editor was getting
ready to animadvert upon the subject he
run across the following in the State
Journal, which does a good job of it:
Yes, I bought a hat for Easter, which I
lavished much upon;
It had lilies of the valley and a bird or
two thereon.
’Twas the most delightful bonnet In the
showcase, of the all,
And It fitted the occasion as the paper
does the wall.
Yes, 1 bought an Easter bonnet, and was
glad as I could be.
For I know ’twas one the people would
all rubberneck to see:
’TU a very showy structure, built upon
the Gothic plan,
And the bill for eighteen dollars will be
paid by my old man.
O, that darling Easter bonnet—no one can
imagine how
i had plaoed my heart upon It—all the
tears I'm shedding now;
Wheep today that I am weeping, you
should wonder not thereat,
For it rained like suds on Easter and I
couldn't wear my hat.
Attorney Johnson of Stuart, who was
arrested last week charged with sub
ornation, was givan a preliminary hear
ing iu the county court last Saturday
and was discharged. The girl. Icy
Munt, testified that Johusou persuaded
her to charge Kraft with the crime of
r. -.pe for the pm pose of extorting money
from defendant. 0 W. Lesseuger tes
tified that he accompanied Johnson
upon several calls he had made upon
the girl and her father, but bad beard
Johnson make no proposals touching
her evidence iu the case. In summing
up the case the county judge did not
say there was not tufticcnt evidence to
bold the prisoner, but said what was
bothering him wsb what the distticl
court would do with tue case should
the defendant be held, and as it would
be a very expensive case to the tax
payers of the county be would discharge
the ptisoner. If it was proven that a
crime was committed and that the
evidence adduced before the court prov
ed the d’efendenle connection with it
then it wns clearly the duty of the
county judge to bind the prisoner over
to the district court, without regard to
what became of the case there, or its
expense to tiie county. In no other
way can justice be tneted out to
ai. Amrney Johusou was re-arrested
laat Satuiday evening after hi^ dis
charge by the county court and will be
given a priliminary next Satuiday be
fore Justice Slattery.
The Presbytery of Niobrara, eighteen
ministers and as many elders, met in

A large amount of routine business was
transacted duung Wednesday. The
matters which took most time and con*
sideratiou were those connected with
the report of the home mission com
mittee of which Rev. N. S. Lowrie was
chairman. The proper apportionment

the thirty-three churches of the Presby
