SOME CUnnENT COMMENT.
In spite of many complaints and ex
pressions on the subject, and despite
tho general belief extant that It would
be an excellent thing, the chief of the
lire department has not seen ill to In
vent ami proclaim any system of niitn
toting districts and indicating by each
alarm the location of tlte lire. As has
been remarked repeatedly In these
columns heretofore, this would bo a
great convenience to the public, and
the chief could not do a thing that
would be more Intelligible to everyone.
All hall to the noble army of bicycle
riders. When the crnsado for good
roads lu Nebraska shall havo begun In
earnest, the army nof i-wheelmen and
wheoluomeii will be found In the fore
front of Its allied exponents. The army
Is growing steadily, numbering men
and women of all classes In It ranks,
ami especially the Intellectual classes.
There me lM),(HK) wheelmen lu tho
United States today. A year hence It
will be double that.
There has been a refreshing variety
of rumor on tap during tho past week
relating to future developments of
the local newspaper Meld. Quite n
number of new morning and evening
dailies of divers varieties of political
predilections have I eeu started with a
breath and died with a start. Ever
and anon there comes a rumor that
a now morning dally Is about to start,
and it Is merely a question of time
until tho rumor shall happily prove
true. Meantime there is u rumor to
the olTcot that tho Stuto Journal will
soon stmt the Issue of an afternoon
edition.

into larger quar-
"Not a spot on It" said the Inspector,
and some one was pleased.
Tho latch string ts always out to our
friends, and we are more than glad to
have them call.
Corporal MeClay inado a good show
ing at drill Monday night. Ho stayed
In Hue almost to the last.
The old members had bettor keep a
sharp lookout or some of the new men
will walk olT with the honors.
There Is some talk of the company
going to the world's fair lu a tody, if
so, tho Omaha Guards and the L. L. 1.
will go together.
Everything Is in good running order
now. With tho proper encouragetnont
Lincoln will soon have a military com
pany to to proud of.
Wo now have forty-eight men ans
wering roll call and with from forty to
forty-live of them lu Hue It makes n
very good showing.
"Comrade" Victor says ho Is willing
to go to Tojieka If called out, providing
there Is no lighting to be done and ho
Is allowed to sleep at night.
The Inspector found two dirty guns
and It Is safe to say they will to cleaned
and never appear In that condition
ag iln. At least we hope not.
One of tho boys was surprised when
he found out he had to keep his own
gun clean. Hut then It takes all these
little points to make a soldier.
Captain C'atnptoll Is deserving much
credit for the manner in which ho has
brought the company to Its present
standing. And nothing but hard work
has done it.
If somo of our citizens that intend
otitiiiing mis spring would consult witli
us in regard to giving us mi armory in
the top Moor, they would learn some
thing to their advantage.
Tho minstrel part of tho company is
still anxious to go to Omaha if the
right date can be secured. A groat
many friends have signified their in
tention of going up as they want to see
tlte performance again.
In the spell down Monday night
Private Hart W. Hellley carried olT tho
honors. Everybody was glad to see
Hart stand through and he received
many congratulations from his friends
and members of the company. Hard
work did It.
Wo have two trick dogs lu tho com
pany and "Comrade'' Victor has
promised to give us utout ten minutes
at our next minstrel performance. Ho
has certainly spent much time in pre
paring for this act and will no doubt
make a big hit.
Tho llttlo afTnlr last Monday night
proved quite a success In the wuy of
enjoyment and wo have been asked by
everyone present to give another and
the boys have decided that at our open
drill each mouth we would end It up in
u like manner.
It Is reported that wo aro to have
several new sergeants, not on account
of the present olllcers being unable to
till the positions hut because business
compels them to miss drills now and
then, and It is very necessary they
should he on hand at all drills and turn
outs.
Lieut. Fowler, U. S. A., inspected
the company Monday night and gave
tho boys a good "looking over." Ho
spoke in the highest terms of the com
pany and complimented them on their
appearance, also the condition of their
guns and the drill. Lieut. Fowler was
our llrst captain and naturally feels
quite a llttlo interest in our wolfaro.
