Travis departed for Lincoln, where he appeared before the bar association, taking an examination for admission to the bar, and alter having passed the most searching examination, he was admitted to practice in the courts of Nebraska. Mr. Travis is the son cf the late Judge H. D. Travis, who was an eminent practitioner and we can rot see any reason why his son should not make a good attorney as well. We had in mind that he was well enough versed in law to have been admitted to the bar some time ago. and have wondered why he did not make application therefor, but sup posed that his duties as reporter of the court were so occupying his at tention that he could not find time to look after arranging to take the examination. Here's to you, Attorney E. R. Travis; may you have the success which we are sure your knowledge md ability merits.. ERING HOME THE CAR Fr"in Thursday's T'iiily. Yesterday T. L.
