friends bohiud him who think ho has
tho qualifications to mako him a good
Htato troasuror. Whilo not assuming
an aggrcssivo attitude in stato politics
Mr. Albright nas boon closely asso
ciated with the party loaders of the
stato. Two years ago ho was the
choice of bis homo pooplo for this
name oflieo. Ho is well known in tho
houIu Platte country as a substantial
business man of irroproachable char
noror. Stato Journal, May 4th.
Tho person who wrote tho above is
evidently acquainted with Mr. Albright
and his quantitations for tho office.
Wo will say that Mr. Albright will un
doubtedly have the hearty support of
Webster county's delegation, and in
fact the wbolo fifth dissrict. ' His large
nccjtirintanc in tho north and east
part of tho stato is also a large item in
his favor. Ho is eminently fitted for
tho position and if nominated would
oortainly bo olectod.
The many old time frionda of Noble
Sanford will be pleasod to learn of his
appointment as postmaster at Aztell,
.Nebraska. Mr. Sanford was one of the
pioneers, of this. county and resided
hora a number of yoars. We clip the
l$wuJg in rogard to his .appointment
from' th"o Mindon Gazette: "From
Home of tho comment niado in connec
tion with tho appointment of Nublo
Sanford as postmastor at Axtoll, tho
conclusion is reached that thoro must
liavo beon a failuro to use it for the
purposes of a political pull. The ap
pointment is a good ono and nearly
ovory patron of tho ollico is satisfied
with it."
Wo aro pleased to know that Prof. G.
1 Kelley Ims bnon appointed by the
jjovornmont as book-keeper in the
Philippines, and ho will go there in the
near future to assume his duties in Hint
ta away land. Ho writes us that ho
will go within ton days. Whether he
will be accompanied by bis wife ho
doei not say, but wo presumo aha will
go too. Wo wish thorn n pleasant voy
ago aud a long life of happiness undur
tho tropical sun. Ord Quiz
A dispatch to tho St. Joo Nows, from
Rivorton says: "There is considerable
oxcitemont in this neighborhood over
meant oil discoveries that promiso to
lii out woll. A Donver syndicate has
representatives hero now trying to so-
oure a lease on 10,000 acres of land fo
tud purpose of prospecting for oil.
They havo already secured options on
a portion of tho tract and tho chances
:ito that they will securo nil that is de
Hired. Other deals of largo proportion
aro in prospect."
it is tho intention of a certain rail
toad to put a train on its Hacks be
tween Now York City and Chicago
which will run tho distance 912 miles
isotween those two cities in 17 i or pos
ibly 17 hours. In order to do this it
will bo necessary to run at a speod of
about ono milo per minute. Tbo short
mt time in which this run is mad at
present is 24 hours. If this traiu is put
u it will be tho fastest train in the
world.
