THi: TltnCNOK IIOISE TO BE ItE-
jiovr.n.
Messrs. Townly & McFihenny, the
proprietor's of this celebrated hotel, in
Lincoln, contemplate one of the biggest
jobs of house moving ever attempted in
the State. The present site' of tho
house is too far from the centre
of business, and they are preparing to
remove the whole house about four
squares, to a better Iccation. Some
Chicago parties have undertaken the
job, and we suppose the work can bo
done, but we are a little inclined to
doubt until we see tlie thing moving.
TWO JiLff A.M mSTItlCTS.
A very important local measure has
just succeeded in Congress, whereby the
incoming settlers in Nebraska will be re
lieved of an onerous burdeu of travel and
expense. The bill establishing two new
land districts in Nebraska, introduced in
the Senate by Mr. Hitchcock, and de
fended in the House by Mr. Taffe, has
become a law.
One is to be located on the north
side :uid tho other on the south tide of
the Platte river.
Heretofore, it has been the policy to
remove our land offices west as the front
ier of U. S. lands slowly traveled to
ward the setting sun. But since the
passage of the Homestead Law, this plan
has to be somewhat modiSed.
A title is not perfect to a homestead
entry until the expiration of five years,
when the settler must visit the Land
Office with his witnesses and "prove
up" and receive his patent. Hence it is
necessary that the present offices in the
State be continued where they are, for
the benefit cf old homsteaders, while
others are provided on tha frontier for
new entries.
We congratulate our Representatives
iu Congress and the people at large on
the passage of this bill.

It is not, perhaps generally known in
this vicinity, nevertheless it is a truth,
that the success of the Iloosac Tunnel
enterprise is traceable directly to the in
ventive genius and engineering skiil of
Col Thomas Doane, present Superin
tendant and Chief Engineer of the B. &
M. iu Nebraska. He was chief engineer
npon that great work for over three
years at its cammencenient, and every
plan and every principle of machinery,
which has proven so successful in carry
ing ontjthnt wonderful work were inaugu
rated by him during 1 he timo he had
charge of the work.
It must be peculiarly gratifying now to
Col. Doane to know that his plans and
his inventions of machinery for the pecu
liar wcrk required, are tho only ones,(al
though many oihers were tried, ) that
were able to stand the test of practice;
and especially must this fact be gratify
ing to him because that many of his plans
were looked upon, at the time he at
tempted to put them in practice, as vis
ionary in the extreme. But time, which
tests all things, has proven the soundness
of his views and the unsoundness of the
views of those who ridiculed his theories
because they had not the me hanical tal
ent to understand them.
THE TRESIS KA(I.ROAI.
The Committee who has just returned
from St. Louis, report no definite ar
rangements as regards the construction
of this most important line of Road.
Propositions were made to the Missouri
PaciGe, but that Company were not pre
pared to say that they would take hold
of the enterprise. What the people want
is for some Company to say that they are
prepared to take hold of the enterprise
and the Counties along the line will come
forward and give the necessary aid.
The following from the Omaha Herald
comes nearer the solution of this problem
than anything we have yet seen. Mr.
Joy can and wo believe will take hold
and construct the Road if the same prop
osition be made to them that was made
to St. Louis.
"The plugging'process whereby power
ful corporations contend for the territory
now so fast becoming occupied and valu
able for profitable railway enterprises, is
one which is notable for the strategy
practised in carrying it out, and in the
results to which it leads. The game has
been played with consummate skill and
energy in Northern Kansas and South
ern Nebraska by trunk lines of road whose
interests appear to be identical, but
which are really adverse, as is illustrated
in the case of the Burlington interests as
concerned in the St. Joseph, Quincy,
Iowa and Nebraska and Kansas lines and
combinations. Wo are not sufficiently
acquainted with the competition to un
ravel tho points at which these lines
cease to have common interests. All we
do know is that, with the forecast and
grasp which have placed Jamis F. Joy
among the first of living railroad project
ors, that remarkable man has secured
footholds and franchises in Kansas and
this State which render it more than pos
sible that, with the plugging, or what we
should prefer to call the shut-out-policy,
he may be an inconvenient stumbling
block in the way of the building of the
Trunk railroad uuless he can be allowed
control of it. This is merely suggested as
a possible obstruction to that success from
which the Committee who have received
so much encouragement in St. Louis for
the immediate building of the "link"
hav reason to expect so much. But of
all this they are doubtless well advised,
and we throw out these intimations in
regard to Mr. Joy and the situation be
cause it may be important to consult, if
not to conciliate him. It will not be for
gotten that Mr. Joy has long had a
steady and yearning eye on the Trunk,
and, as we understand, te is the only
man who has ever made definite propo
sitions to the people for building it. But
it is likely that all obstacles will be over
come to secure the direct outlet to St.-
Louis by the river line, and of course no
effort will be either relaxed or wanting to
make this result a certainty at the earli
est practicable day."
STATE H. H ASSOCIATION.
The Nebraska Sabbath School Asso
ciation will hold its Anniversary in Piatt?
mouth, on the second Tuesday of May
next. It is exceedingly desirable that
all the schools in the State should be
represented. The fundamental princi
ple of our orgsnization is the rcligioun
culture and training of the children
through tho agency of the Sabbath
Schools and Bible truth. On this broad
non-sectarian ground we feel justified in
expeting the hearty union and earnest
co-operation of all who labor for the pro
motion of these ends : and that the an
nual meeting may be productive of in
creased efficiency in every department of
Sabbath School work. The services of
eminent speakers have been solicited,
and we may confidently anticipate a time
of spiritual profit and instruction.
Other States are rendering like insti
tutions a power for good J let Nebraska
move to the front rank ; and her moral
and spiritual advancement be commen
surate with her personal rapid material
progress !
Will tho press give publicity to the
call?
Will tho Pulpit in all the churches
lead the press in heralding the same ?
Will the Sabbath School be repre
sented by their most active, earnesti en
thusiastic workers ?
Let a contribution, however small, be
sent in with the annual reports from all
the schools.
Will the schools from this city devote
their attention to this matter on the 28th

conclude that eleven was meant instead
of leaven. But if we are not correct,
and leaven is the world really intended,
we can't see that the leavening business
is paying. In this section of the State
we have heard of no converts, and feel
safe in saying there will be none. The

Ike Invalid m Pen Picture.
See her pallid countenance but a short
time ago the picture of ruddy health, the
envy of the school and the pride of the
household. She was always welcomed by
her schoolmates, for her lithe form and
pleasing disposition carrfed cheerfulness
into their ranks. Diligent, punctual and
exemplary obedient and graceful at home
she won the hearts of all. But alas, we
arc sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and
ruddy lips are blanched by Consumption.
The voice once so enchanting in laugh
and song is feeble, husky and supplanted
by a hollow cough: Let ns approach her
couch gently and take her hand. Do not
shudder because of the feeble and pas
sionless grasp. The hand once so hearty
and plump is emaciated, and shows bony
outlines, while the cords and tortuous
veins are plainly mapped upon the sur
face. The pulse that bounded with re
pletion, carrying igor to tho whole sys
tem and imparting life, beauty, vivacity,
health and strength, is delicate to the
touch. The feebla heart cannot propel
the thin, scanty blood with force. Must
we lose her while yet in her teens? Com
panions and friends gather around with
words of cheer and consolation, and de-
5 art with moistened eyes and silent steps:
lust we lose her? No ! there is a relief I
We can stay this destroyer of our happi
ness, and not suffer the loss of so bright
a gem. Something more is required
now tbrn dietary and hygienic observance
for nature calls for aid, and she shall
hav : it. Take this pleasant medicine.
It is invigorating. How it allays the ir
ritable cough, improves the appetite and
digestion, and sends a healthy tingle
through the frame. The blood is enrich
ed, nervous force increased, and the
heart bounds with a new impulse. Heo
her face brighten by degrees ; the color
is returning, her voice is getting clearer,
and pleasant words aro spoken. The
strength falters yet, but is gaining. Let
us take her out in the warui sunshine.
In a short time she will be able to co
without our aid. a cheerful girl. This
delightful medicine must be God-blessed.
It is restoiii:? health to our loved one.
She is emerging from her sickness woet.
er and nobler than before, and Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery must
have the credit. It has raised her. Sold
by all first-class druggists everywhere.
In the active pursuit of pleasure or
ram. the inestimable blessing of health
is too often forgotten, until disease is
firmly seated, and the fact only realized
by great bodily and mental suffering. The
Liver is the vulnerable point in most per
sons, and the disarrangement of the or
gan involves almost the whole system ;
hence the reason why under Liver dis
ease there is enumerated such a number
of afflictions, and we claim the Simmons'
Liver Regulator to be aremody for them
all. .
