Official Paper Sherman County A new brick school house this summer will add to the looks of our little city very materially. Thirty-six locomotives are now being build in the United States for the railroad known as the Uganda line in Africa. Andrew Caruigie has declared a 10 per cent increase in the wages of his 10,000 employes. And the pops are correspondingly disconsolate. A raise in wages is another nail in their wooden overcoat. The school board are wasting no time but are working with a will to complete arrangements us early as possible and be ub.e to lay the olans for a new buildiug intelligently be fore the people. Any instructive suggestions will be welcomed by them. Sherman county has paid off all of her obligations that she cun get a bold ot and is offering a two per cent per annum bonus for tbe length of time they run for the privelageof paying others. Very few counties in tbe slate are in as good condition as we are. The United Slates, Great Britain and Germany have at last agreed up on a commission to settle the Samoan question and the distinguished in ternational dignaturies are on their way in a U. 8. naval vessel to inter* view the niggers of the south seas. The ten dollar dinner of Belmont, Croker et. ai., the other day in hon or of “Jeffersonian simplicity" is said to have been u grand gathering of the “simple." The only thing lack ing was our boy oraior to give them a taste of the genuine article of “sim plicity" as viewed from a steen-to wun stand point. If you receive any sweetmeats through the mail, don't cat them as some friendly fiend may have con tracted the Borgia disease and be trying to make an angel of you. Two cases of this kind have happened in Nebraska, in the past two weeks, and it is hard to tell who the spirit of the notorious Lucretia may abide in for a time.

Just ten days lacking of one year from tbe date of tbe declaration of war by our congress. In that short space of time a proud and hauty people have l*eeu completely subdued, their navy almost annihilated and their j colonies principally taken from them. 1 The 15, of Feb. I Bits, i)m day upon which our gallant ship Maiue, was destroyed in Havana harbor, will go j down in history as the day that Spain com nutted suicide. The Peace congress proposed by tbe vJur. will meet next mouth at the llsgue, Which tjuvebe \V libel into* has graciously requested them to make tbe point of remit/run The object of tb* toogrvss as laid down in the articles to le considered, do . not contemplate disarmament, but the agreement of the uati >its of tli< earth not to increase their already immense armies and navies, either to nllow any mote powerful < agine* aad explosives of warfare to tie In tented, and to promote arbitration as the best means of lessening wars.

Mr Hough was killed h\ one Fred Mollli, who shot him twice through the abdomen with a 45 cali ber revolver. The men had not met previously for several > ears, aec »rd ing to the Custer County Republican, and Molllt shot hint just as he came out of the wash iooiu at the hotel, Hppareutly without exchanging words. An old fued was the cause. A grand reception was given the Raleigh, one of Dewey’s vessels that took part iu his famous victory at Mauila, on Mu) 1st |k|)8ou her ar rival at New York, Sunday last. The River parade also contained two Spanish wur vessels, the Alvarado, and the Sandoval which was captur ed during the Spanish war last Sum mer. The Raleigh, Captain Coghlau, was the hero of the occasion, and will long renumber her triumphal entry into New York harbor after her gallant defense of the stars and snipes. Our last congress utterly failed to make au appropriation for the higher studies of naval architecture an ha* been conducted try Lieut, Hobson at Annapolis Md., for some \eurs and the navy department is sending 4 students abroad for that purpose, two ter Glasgow, Scotland, and two to I’aris, France. This practice used to be carried out some years ago un til the jealousy of the home students towa.d the yunkee caused these countries to refuse to admit them, and also that it was considered that America excelled in this art. But if such a lack of patriotic interest is to he allowed to continue w»* may not hold that distinction long. That it pays to advertise is proven by the experience of an Iowa girl. She advertised for a husband and found one. The total expense in curred in the use of printer s ink and wedding outfit was £!>. Shortly after the marriage he enlisted in the Spanish Americun war. He was kill ed in one of the battles and left an insurance of $:i,000 to his wife. She will also draw a widows pension in a short time.—Ex. “A word to the wise Is mlllcient” and a word from the wise should be sulll cient, but you ask. who are the wise? Those who kuow.
