It is announced (it Washington
that the formation of tlio Har

it which imposes imprisonment
as a punishment.

-:o: .
The people living in the towns
along the Omaha-Fall City
branch should petition the rail
way commission for a better pas
senger service. One passenger
train each way js not sufficient,
and it is not fair to treat the
patrons the way they hme been
treated for years. We believe it
tho towns through which this
branch passes would rise in their
might and demand another pas
senger train they can get it. Let
the papers also inaugurate a gen
eral fight for belter passenger
service.

Some of Ihe republican papers

The bulletins aggregated 2G5 pages
of finely printed mutter, giving to Ne-.
braska farmers the knowledge secured
by scientific investigation at the state
experiment stations. The total cost :
of printing the pamphlets was $2,131.
The live stock led on the farm and
the crops there grown are productive
of great results and yield a good
profit to the state. The report madu
to the government shows that a total
of $35,808 was received for the sales
of stock and products which ag
gregated an expense of $12,184 for
feeding, $4,83ii for purchase of other
live stock and $4,894 for labor, a net
profit on the two items of $13,899.
Altogether the university has 230
acres under cultivation, this being by
far the larger part of its 330 acres of
land owned in the state. It receives
from the government for agricultural
experiment station operation $30,000,
this being in two funds of $15,U00
each, known respectively as the
Adams and Hatch fund, between $8,-'
000 and $9,000 of each fund, is paid
out In salaries of employes at the ex
periment stations. Four thousand
dolhus is .spent for labor during the
year. j
The university also receives $t'),0u.

Meetings to Induce Burlington to Lay

Sargent, Neb., Aug. 5. The fanners
for fifty miles along tho old grada
from Sargent to Urewster are holdm
meetings for the purpose of urging tlm
Burlington to put rolling stock on the
grade which they built some wenty
years ago. If this cannot be done
they are in communication with pro
moters who are confident that they
can get another company to come in
and give the farmers relief. The
Burlington kept out other rouds with
their grade.
