A HAM.MOXIJ Frank Harris of the
superintendent's office has replaced his
Remington type writer by one of the
celebrated Hammond make , one of the
finest and completest instruments in the

Our brilliant broad-guage ( ? ) con temp ,
on Main Avenue acknowledges the corn ,
( the juice of the corn ) but thinks the
greatest difficulty would be to prove it.
The district attorney has a keen scent
for such animals.
On Monday. F. A. Thompson moved
his household effects into the Morris

Thompson , ) where the family are now
comforably situated.
On Sunday evening , the horse being
driven by Messrs. Walsh & 'Boyd be
came unmanageable and backed into the
slough just east of the McCook Feed
Mill , damaging the buggy considerably ,
but injuring no one.
The debris before the McXeely lot ,
we take unusual pleasure in stating , is
being removed , and the appearance of
Main Avenue is already much improved
thereby. These things come slowly
sometimes : but they DO come.
Wednesday of last week , B. J. Ryan
returned to his former home at Harvard ,
this state , having disposed of his inter
est to his partner , Mr. Turner , who
has just recently taken a ' 'life partner , "
and will continue business at the old
stand.
Among the places devastated during
the recent Ohio cyclone was the old
homestead of 11. S. Cooley of our city ,
which was entirely wrecked by the ter
rible storm which lately raged in parts
of the old Buckeye State , as well Penn
sylvania , Illinois , etc.
The family of W. H. Thompson , late

departure for their new home in Michi
gan , Sunday afternoon on 40. They
leave many friends who were sorry to see
them leave our city , but who wish them
happiness , contentment and success in
their new home.
Parties who have purchased lots in
the vicinity of the park block are natur
ally inquiring why the Lincoln Land
Co. is not fulfilling its contract by plant
ing those trees , etc. It is but reason
able that those who exact compliance
with contracts from others should try a
little of their own medicine.
The water supply must have been
[ quite limited on the hillSundayto con
clude from the procession of sweet-tem
pered men which might have been seen
wending its way to the lower town for
that indispensable liquid. "You never
miss the water no matter how bad it
is until the well runs dry. "
A few day's since , Receiver Babcock
sold his fine river farm near Cambridge ,
embracing 330 acres of deeded land and
the lease on a school section adjoining ,
to a Vermont party for § 5,700 cash.
The farm is one of the finest in the val
ley , with one and a half miles of river
front , timber , etc. . and is a bargain even
at the price sold.
The last of this month , Prof. A. G.
Bixler will be in the city for the pur
pose of organizing a singing class or
musical convention or of preparing and
giving the oratorio , Queen Esther.
Keep this in mind , singers , and take
every advantage of this opportunity.
The professor will follow the wishes of
the class as to what course will be pur
sued. Talk the matter over.
The next man that airs his grievances
against his robustuotis incompetency at
these headquarters will run the risk of
being a victim of a horrible homicide.
Go pour the burden of your sorrow into
h. r. n.'s right auricle , and mayhap pol
ish him off in the highest style of the
manly art , but we weary of these reci
tals of shortcomings , against which
naught but the interposition of infinity
will avail.
What's the matter with that sidewalk
which was ordered built from the U. S.
Land Office to S. W. Huddleston'sresi
dence , some weeks since. Messrs. Brown ,
Berry , Trowbridge , Lytle , Harris and
Huddleston have laid their walks and
would like to see the others do like\ise.
We believe the company owns most
of the lots abutting on the east side of
Main Avenue between the above men
tioned points.
We chronicle the fact of ex-county
superintendent Xettleton's serious ill
ness with feelings of sorrow and regret.
Mr. Xettleton has ever been a most'en
ergetic and tireless worker in everything
he has undertaken , and consequently
made too heav } * draughts upon a con
stitution already weakened during the
late war's campaigning , and his present
sickness seems to be a general constitu
tional break-down , with slight hopes of
recovery , unless nature revives and re
asserts herself in a positive manner.
In the suit brought before Squii'e Col
vin , last Friday , by Elisha Rowland
against James B. Miller , for damages
and debt , the plaintiff alone offered tes
timony and was duly awarded judgement
in the sum of $93.50. The case was
appealed to the District Court. This is
but one of a series of suits in which
these parties have been involved lately ,
all growing out of a neighborly ( ? ) rack
et , in which pitchforks and other such
playful weapons have figured with some
what uncomfortable prominence. ' 'How
pleasant it is to dwell together in unity. "
The Children's Day exercises at the
M. E. church , last Sunday , were both
interesting and instructive and were par
ticipated in by a large number of
children , while the audience present at
the various exercises during the day
filled the house. The decorations , flow
ers , birds , etc. , were profuse and beau
tiful , while a genuine fountain added
much to the scene. The little children
performed their parts in a creditable
manner and their efforts were apprecia
ted by the adults present. The pastor
and others who had the affair in charge
and who spent much energy and time in
preparing for the occasion are to be
congratulated upon their success *
Elsewhere in this issue we present a
sensible communication from an old set
tler on the "contest question. " The
contesting of claims where the law
HAS BEEcomplied with , thus nutting
the settler or entry-man to a needless
expense , an expense which few are able
to stand , is a manifest outrage , against
which there seems to be little or no re
dress. These contests , we pay , insti-
! tuted in the main bva pack of louncin"
I * I O O
I scavengers , are grievous burdens , which
the honest settler is sometimes forced
to bear , perforce of the operations of
rascals who ought to be in the state's
prison. The rights of honest settlers
J should be protected. * On the-other hand
it is notorious that failures to comply
with the law are numerous. That such
claims should be contested is clearly
lawful and for the best interests of the
country. However , demonstrations ,
1 such as occurred on the Driftwood , re
cently , save in extreme cases , ought
not to bo tolerated.
