That flfty thousand dollars' worth of city
lots should 1h) sold In a slnglo afternoon nt
nuction, ns was dono last Saturday, enrries
upon its faco such a cheering talo of activity
in Lincoln realty that it needs no olabornto
explanation. It required nervo to launch out
upon this auction, but E. II. Andrus has
plenty of that commodity and ho is reaping
the benefit of It.
Wo havo tho assuranco of tho St a te Journal,
supposedly tho olllcial mouthpiece of tho D.
&M., that that road stands ready to treat
with tho Rock Island for a union dejwt on nn
equltnblo basis. Tho B. & M. will unite with
Its competitor in a company to build n now
union depot or will glvo It tho Joint use of Its
present building. Tho pooplo of Lincoln nro
under many obligations to tho B. &M.,and
this renewed spirit of fairness calls for moro
gratitude. The city can better afford to glvo
a big bonus to havo all tho rail roads uso ono
depot and ono track through tho city than to
let now roads monopolize butiness struots
without a bonus. Tho Rock Island never
made a formal request for Eighth street,
though sovoral ofllcers intimated that it
might bo wanted. It is not unreasonable to
supposo that this intimation may have leen
thrown out with a viow to arousing the B. &
M. to tho necessity of making concessions to
iw rivai. i no u. x ai. can aironl to overlook

At last it seems likely that Lincoln is to
havo a fine drivo. Tho enterprising property
owners east of tho city havo surveyed a boule
vard to University Place, and tho appraise
ment of tho property necessarily condemned
has already begun . A broad.well kept street
out to Wesleyan university would materially
enhance tho valuo of the real estate along the

Few people know that Nebratkn must be
gin within a few days, through It governor,
to make preparations for tho world's fair of
three years henco. Tho stato is entitled to
two commissioners (ono republican and ono
democratic) nnd two alternates. Gov. Thayer
must recommend tho gentlemen, who will be

mendatlons must bo made by the 24th of this
mouth. Ex-Gov. Furnas naturally comes up
as tho republican nominee, but ic Is expected
ho will bo appointed ono of the eight commis
sioners at large. Mr. John C. Bonnell of this
city is a candldato for tho stato commission
ershlp. Ho was a valuable assistant in mak
ing n successful exhibit at New Orleans, and
his oxperienco would corao in good play in
1803. Hon. A. G. Scott of Kearney is also
an applicant. He has lived in tho stato
eloven years, owns soveral elevators and
farms about twelve hundred acres. Ho is
highly spoken of by Kearnoy people. A Mr.
Cole of Beatrice Is said to bo another appli
cant. Gov. Thayer has not yet indicated his
choice.

On ouo occasion his wife had n lot of straw
piled near the houso and then sot on fire. The

tho family began shouting lire and carrying

had been hurt and was dyfug at u neighbor's

ho did not moro.
After tills signal failure no further at

Mario Josephine Tascher, do la Pagerle,

of Napoleon to dlvorco hor and contract a
