POLITICAL, PERSONAL AND PERTINENT.
Talmage, Otoe county, was visited
by a conflagration Monday night
that wiped out the four frame build
ings. The lire originated in a build
ing occupied as a millinery store. A
bucket brigade was soon formed but
the flames had gained such headway
that nothing could be done except to
try and save the property adjoining.
Tne flames soon communicated with
adjoining buildings and in a short
time four buildings were burned.
They were all frame and were owned
by Henry Boyd and occupied as a resi
dence and confectionery; II. II. Childs,
used as a millinery store; J. II. Fer
guson and occupied by a photograph
gallery; Fred Uerlet as a residence.
The loss will amount to about $3,000,
and the insurance about one-third that
amount.
Dress up some men in a little brief
authority and they will at once pro
ceed to make themselves a chief factor
in whatever comes within their scope.
Usually a man who happens to get in
to some petty little office the school
board, for instance can show more of
a selfish and narrow spirit than in any
other capacity. On that account it is
sometimes questioned whether it
wouldn't be better to pay members of
that board salaries. They might then
not be so persistent in trying to foist
their relatives on the public as teach
ers, while far better applicants are
left out.
Omaha is considerably excited just
now over the fact that Henry Bolin,
the city treasurer, is a defaulter to the
extent of some 815,000. Wine, women
and speculation are said to be the
cause of his downfall. His bondsmen
stacd ready to make up the deficit and
announce that he will not be prose
cuted. A telegrm from liouisville,
this county, to Wednesday's Omaha
Bee says that Sheriff Eikenbary at
tached the brick works at Louisville,
belonging to Bolin, at the instance of
Omaha creditors. The brick works
are valued at $3,500.
Dr. Hay finally 'Flrl.'
Dr. Luther Abbott of Fremont took
charge of the Lincoln insane hospital
yesterday morning as superintendent
of that institution. The supreme court
handed down an opinion Tuesday
ousting Dr. Hay in favor of Dr. Abbot,
whoso appointment by the governor
was confirmed by the senate. This
ends a long drawn out and somewhat
exciting controversy. Dr. Hay admits
that he is beaten, is glad it is over and
gave up possession peaceably yester
day. Dr. Abbott was telegraphed for
and arrived from Fremont at 5:50. He
went to the asylum in an exceedingly
happy frame of mind and was met by
Dr. Hay and arrangements were made
whsreby the management changed
hands without a formal writ from the
court.
The decision of the court was in re
spouse to quo warranto proceedings in
stituted by the attorney-general to set
tle the rights of the two claimants
Newspaper readers are familiar with
the dispute, as it has been thoroughly
aired in state papers. In brief Dr
Hay alleced that he had a rieht to
serve for a term of six years and that
the governor's removal for cause was
insufficient and that charges preferred
were not proven. In fact the doctor
made little attempt to meet the
charge;?, holding that the governor
was not the proper person to try him
on charges preferred.
The court also decided that Dr. Ab
bott should draw salary as superinten
dent from the time he was first ap
pointed.
PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.
Wednesday's World-Herald prints
the following item, which refers to a
former resident of Flattsmouth:
"Frank E. Hartigan, general agent of
the State Mutual Life Insurance com
pany, is back from New York and
New England. He found the capital
ists there feeling cheerful and with
even more faith in Nebraska crops
than in crops in their own section of
the country. They are looking kindly
upon this part of the west.7'
An inch of rain all over Nebraska
means a tremendous downpour of
water. To cover one square mile of
ground an inch deep requires nearly
17,500.000 gallons of water, weighing
72,635 ton3. When rainfall is suffi
cient it is vastly superior to irrigation
because it brings so much water, even
with a moderate shower. An irriga
tion ditch is all right as far as it goes,
but its beneficence is necessarily lim
ited to a very small area. Lincoln

Greeuwood ami Its Iluliies Men
Upon an upland plateau, half a mile
south from the valley of Salt Creek, on
the lino of the B. & M. railway, and a
mile east of the western limits of Cass,
lies the pretty village of Greenwood.
Sixteen years ago, or thereabouts, the
townsite was laid out and it is a ques
tion whether it got its Baptismal name
from green prairie sod which sur
rounded the place or from popular pio
neer merchants, John S. or Phil Green,
who still flourish on its chief business
corner. Be that as it may the early
residents appreciated the injunction of
the author of Arbor day, and have
planted trees so persistently that the
streets and the lots of the residence
portion of the town are nicely set off
with shade and ornamental trees, their
dark green foliage making a most at
tractive picture.
Greenwood is blessed with a wide
awake, law abidingpopulation. It has
three churches with Sunday schools,
young people's societies, a W. C. T. U.
and a number of social orders that
give character to its moral tone.
Among its business houses are:
Three general merchandise stores,
Phil Green & Co., Shaw Sc Lytic, Fitz
gerald and W. E. Failing, each firm
being well patronized. J. lt.Barr and
O. C. Iloham carry stocks of hardware
and implements. Herbert Cooper and
D. A. Fulmer each carry stocks of
drug3 and medicines. The first Nat
ional bank, of which N. II. Meeker is
president and D. M. Quakenbush act
ing cashier, is on a firm footing with
$50,000 capital and $10,000 of surplus
fund. Messrs. Coleman & McPherson
and the Greenwood Lumber Co., sup
ply building materials for the town
and country round.
Geo. Cutler runs a repair and smith
shop and also sells implements.
It. D. McDonald runs a restaurant
and sells groceries, while close by, W.

Herrman Streitweiser brought us in
Monday a specimen of the beetle
which has been destructive to grapes
in the past four years. The beetle
lives on the leaves of the grape vine
for about two weeks and then makes

its eggs on the root of the vine. The
egg, wheu it hatches, produces a worm
about two inches long w hich immedi
ately attacks the roots. It bores
through the root, leaving only a thin
shell. In about three years the vine
dies, apparently without cause.
