The air will soon be laden with sweet perfume of apple, plum and cherry blossoms and spring onions; the horn of the fish peddler floats upon the balmy breeze and is mingled with the seductive notes ema nating from the interior conscience of the festive tree agent and the persu asive lightning-rod man. The lilac bush will soon burst out in itsshowers of blue and white simultaneous with the dude whose exterior measures the shallowness of the Interior of his cra nium; the ladies, heaven bless ’em, are arrayed in light and airy raiment, summer silks, charming head gear, just too sweet for anything. The great American institution, the tramp, starts out from bis winter quarters and hies off to the rural districts, beating sap out of railroad ties, and the farmer out of a square meal, giv ing a wide berth to wood piles, bull dogs and city marshals; the kids, with an eye to business, are gather ing up the empty beer bottles in the highways and byways, and disposing of them for base balls and bats; the young men gather themselves togeth er into parties of three and four, dig bait, cut poles, and then “cut sticks” for the happy fishing grounds, with a couple of sandwiches in their pockets and a case of b-r under the seat; the spring poet, the same one we kill ed last year, comes to life again, and springs more of the tame kind upon the impecunious pencil pusher, put ting the latter into a helpless state of lassitude, and a “tired” feeling gener ally; the old man puts new hinges on the iron gate, whitewashes the chick en coop, digs in the garden about five minutes, and then goes down to the drug store and swears for “back ache;” his better half has a wild look in her eye as she sits down and tells the hir ed girl that they’d better commence on “the best room” first; Charlie, ar rayed in ice cream pants and a 15 cent straw hat calls on Mary Ann, and wipes all the paint off the front step; brick blocks spring up like mushroons in the night; wagons loaded down with feather beds, stove pipe andet oetras, start on their erratic career from one end of the city to the other, closely followed by the old man with the dock under one arm and a mfrfdr under the other, and {“God bless our home” strung around his neck. Indi cations on every hand tell us that spring is here. Emma Ellis has filed her petition in the district court praying for a divorce from Frank Ellis. They were married at Iowa City, Iowa, August 14,1875, and have been residents of this county for over eighteen years. In her petit ion she alleges extreme cruelty; that at various times since their marriage he has struck her with his fists and has whipped her with a blacksnake whip. She alleges that Mr. Ellis is worth $75,000 above his indebtedness. That he owns 480 acres of land In Boyd county and 2600 acres in this county. She alleges that what prop erty he is now possessed of was secur ed through the efforts of both of them and she asks for half his property as alimony. She further asks that he be compelled by court to pay her $50 per month for her support during the pendency of this action. The recent legislature passed a law requiring the payment of an annual tax of $2 for each automobile in the state, the tax to be paid to the county where the owner of the machine lives and to be used for road making pur poses. The bill will go into effect July 7. Under its provision the fee of $2 mnst be paid annually to the coun ty treasurer of the county where the applicant lives. The county treasur er will issue a receipt showing pay ment to him. The applicant must send this receipt to the secretary of state, who will in turn send a blank form to be filled out and this form must then be sent back to the secre tary of state who will assign a number for the automobile and issue a license for one year or whatever portion of the year remains after all of this red tape has been complied with. The fee for motorcycles is $1. Under this law counties that have a large number of automobiles will reap considerable revenue. Walt Mason in the Sioux City Jour nal: It’s waking and sleeping and heaving a sigh, and watch ing and weeping, and saying goodby. It’s long hours of labor and short hours of rest, its helping our neighbor, and doing our best. Its fast ing and dining and striving in vain, and joy and repining, and sunshine and rain. It’s laughing and crying, its darkness and light, and wishing the dying a loving good-nigbt. Its dancing and walling and battling with men, succeeding and failing, and trying again. I’ts wooing and mating, it’s foolish and wise, its loving and hating and dealing in lies. Man says Its dreary, as graveyard he goes; he says he is weary and longs for repose: he says it is hollow, deluding and vain, and others who follow repeat the re frain. But I shall not hurry this old world to leave; what though it may worry and gall us and grieve? It gives us good measure of joy as we go; there’s always a pleasure to pay for a woe; I’m fond of the mixture of laughter and tears; I’d fain be a fix ture for ten thousand years. Supervisors Grimes, Hunter, Simar, Prussa, Sullivan Selvers and Hammer berg left for Boyd county this after noon where they go to consult the Boyd county board regarding the bridge which they contempl 'te build ing accross the Niobrara river south of Butte under the state aid bridge law passed by the last session of the legis lature. The members of the county board believe that as the bridge bill originated iu this county that we are entitled to get in on the ground floor and expect to make all preliminary ar rangements and file their application with the State Irrigation board at once. Omaha papers report that the con tract has been let by the Nebraska Transportation company to the Baker Construction company of Omaha for an inturban railroad to run from Oma ha to Sioux City and from Omaha to Norfolk with a branch at Madison. Altogether 284 miles of track will be built with a power house near Elk City on the Platte river, capable of generating twenty-one thousand horse power. Two and a half years will be required to complete the road, and the cost will approximate eight millions. Arrangements for financing it have been completed with Europe* an capitilists. Sixty miles of right-of way have been secured and the con struction will start at once. The plan Ib to build a double track to Elk City from Omaha and from there run on? line to Sioux City and the other to Norfolk. It is said there will be through service from Norfolk to Oma ha every two hours. Possibly the south part of this county could induce this company to bring their line through that territory, say by build ing up from Albion or Elgin across to O’Neill. Several residents of south ern Holt have expressed their willing ness t o make subtantlal financial con tributions to an enterprise of this kind and this newly organized com pany might be induced to build.

It had been expected that receipts would be quite moderate this week and that there would be some improvement in prices, but it looks as if feeders were discouraged in holding out and were bound to let them come. There is lit tle change in good quality Stockers and feeders and strange to say, farm- ? ers are willing to take them out at these high prices in the face of the low price on killers.
