IX AND AROUND TBE TOWN. Some seven or eight teams com menced work yesterday afternoon throwing dirt on the new one-third mile bicycle track at the fair grounds, and the track promises to be complete by the middle of next week. Popular tion, they would be willing to allow Its removal. On that understanding the Union people returned borne to talk it over and a decision will doubt less be arrived at some time this week.

The latest report is that John Unruh will hunt a new location for his store so that he may advertise bis business with a similar legend. a week to eight hours a day and six days a week. This is taken as a good omen by railroad men and is inter preted to mean that railroad business in the west is on the increase, and that the Missouri Pacific company is more hopeful for the future. This increase in time will be of material benefit to the men in the Sedalia shops, as it will increase their wages perceptibly. club.

The Lincoln News of Friday even ing says: "Intelligence was sent the Lincoln police this morning that burglais and safe-crackers had done up the town of Eagle last uight. The general stores of English & Hichardson and Beach & Venner at that point were entered and the safes rilled. One of the safes was opened by means of the combination, while the other was blown open. Very little money was secured, but the thieves carried away the books, which are valuable because the tlrrrs did a large credit business. Detective Ma- lone started to Eagle this morning In possession of a clue that promises to lead to the apprehension of the parties. English, one of the proprietors of one of the stores, was formerly a resident of this city. "Mr. Ulchardson, the proprietor of one of the stores entered, was at the police station this afternoon. He said that the thieves took nothing from either store except the books, although At the Old Waterman OE Stand Again Block, jlU.il.iM HM li CLOTHING Two sous of Mr. Casey, who died in theM.

Nebraska City News. Perhaps the best thermometer of the business and trade situation is found in the railroad interests of the country, not alone in the commerco over them, lut in their extension and development as common carriers. At the present time there are 373 lines in the forty-four states and territories. During the past year 2,370 miles of new road were laid and this year 20, 547 miles figure in the plans of the companies and corporations controll ing all systems. How far this will follow for 1S95 Is not among the con jectures of the day, but in January 2,933' miles were either whole graded or under contract. It is a very certain fact that the steel rail mills are run ning now on long orders, the industries of this character are resuming in every direction. No bettermanifesta tion of returning confidence could be desired. The extension of the rail road systems means the developmen of all sections and that is always significant of a turning of the tide. To tell how many stamps to put upon jour letter: A silver dollar weighs less than an ounce. Hence a letter not heavier than a dollar can go for a single two-cent stamp. A five-cent piece added to the dollar will give the ouuce. If you have not the dollar, five nickles and a small copper cent will give an ounce weight. valuables within easy reach. In the store of Beach & Venner they blew the safe all to pieces and clear across the room. Siuce his arrival in Lincoln Mr. Hichardson received a telegram telling him that the books had been found where the thieves had left them.

J The pupils at St. John's Catholic school rendered a very pleasing pro gram Monday morning in commem oration of Arbor Day, a season of tree planting in the school yard closing the program. The pupils of the public schools also indulged in planting trees, and the town's stock of shade trees, if all thrive, promises to be handsomely increased as a result of yesterday's labors by the children. S. C. Anthony, monument and tomb stone maker, on Sixth street, north of Main, has just received some fine Ver mont granite for monumental work and is pushing hi; business right to the front. In his shop may be seen some very handsome stones in a variety of styles in Vermont marble. There is no use of any one giving orders for work in this line abroad, when it can be done so well at home.

Governor Jlolcomb moved again yes terday in the Lincoln asylum affair by citing Superintendent Hay to appear Tuesday next at '2 p.m. and unswer charges of maltreating patients, ex travagance and neglect of duty. This is said to be the governor's first step in his attempt to remove Dr. Hay for cause, on charges supported by evi dence secured ty Dr. Abbott of Fre mont. As stated several days ago the charge of cruelty to patients is baed principally on the liruhl case, wherein a violent patient named liruh), from Cass county, had his jaw bone broken white struggling with attendants. Charges of extravagance are to be supported by comparison with asy lums in other states. Dr. Hay is ex pected to meet the charges, but will probably appear before the governor under protest, claiming the board of public lands and building alone can hear the ca?e and submit findings.

Travis, Esq., met with a painful acci dent on Monday while plajing ball with some of bis boy companions. lie put up his hand to catch a hot ball, and by a mischance the ball struck the third finger of his right band on the end, breaking the rirst joint, the bone protruding through the flesh making what surgeons call a compound frac ture. Dr. Cook was called on and re duced the fracture. Earl thinks he won't play ball any more. It was no table that the accident didn't stop the game very long. A. F. Groom, ex-engineer at the lo cal water works pumping station, has secured a position at Colfax, Iowa, and will depart tomorrow morning to enter npon the fulfillment of his du ties. Mrs. Groom and the children will visit with relatives at Jefferson, la., for a few weeks before moving to Colfax permanently. To Hbon I it my Contfrm I am miking a genuine effort to close out my business here, so that I can join my family in California soon. Therefore I must not only sell my goods cheap, but I must close all run ning accounts and sell for cash.

A recent decision by the supreme court of Sooth Dakota in a suit be tween the town of Huron and private parties, who advanced funds on the promise of the municipality to pay, is in the city 's favor, and it crawls out very neatly, at that. The eity had is sued bonds and put in a system of water works. In the capitalcampaign of 1890 the city council of its own ac cord without action of the people of the city sold the water works to a pri vate company for the purpose of secur ing funds to carry on the campaign, and used the money so secured for that purpose. The court holds that the council acted without authority in the sale, making it void. Also that the action ot the treasurer in receiving the money and paying it out without au thority releases the city from any obli gation to refund the money so illegally secured and employed. Rev. P. Van Fleet, pastor of the Methodist church of this city, has undertaken to do what he can to lift the load of debt which has so badly hampered that society for many years, and has already made considerable progress in that direction. lie is not only much devoted to the work of sal vation, but is also an energetic man of business, who believes in works as well as faith, and it is to be hoped that he will be successful in the project he has undertaken. The local high school base ball team walloped the very life out of the Glenwood boys on the grounds of the latter Friday afternoon, the score standing 21 to 7. The Glenwoodites were never a factor In the game. Will Graves did some masterly twirling for the home team and his slants and curves were untouchable when he cared to exert himself. The boys would like to hear from any kid nine in this section of the country looking to the arrangement of a game.
