After hearing all the evidence, the justice dismissed the case.—Akron Republican ^ J. J. Wilkinson, late B. & M. immigration agent at this point, promises to be heard from the present season. Under recent date he writes us that he has been in Omaha disabled by an accident, but that he expects to be out here soon with a party of land buyers.—Ox ford Standard. During the progress of the Corbett-Mitchell fight yesterday, the roadmaster's office was well represented with “sports,’’ and the man ner in which Sam Rogers read the returns, showed how fully they would have been ap preciated, had Haley been there. Sam's voice was somewhat chilled, when in the second round he noted that Mitchell had hit Corbett a couple of biffs in the ribs. The Annual County Institutes. In accordance with the unanimous wish of the county superintendents of Nebraska in state convention assembled, Hon. A. K. Goudy, state superintendent of public instruct ion, has completed a schedule showing the date of opening of the annual institute of each county in the state for the summer of 1894. By the same vote the county superintendents pledged themselves to the adoption of the provisions of the schedule unless they found it impossible to do so. According to the schedule counties are divided into groups as follows, and each county will begin its insti tute on the same date: June 18—Cass, Chase, Dundy, Franklin,Fur' nas, Gage, Harlan, Hayes, Hitchcock, Jeffer son, Nemaha, Nuckolls, Otoe, Pawnee, Red Willow, Richardson, Thayer, Webster. July 9—Adams, Burt, Butler, Clay. Dakota, Fillmoie, Frontier, Gosper, Johnson, Kearney, Lancaster, Perkins, Phelps, Polk, Saline, Sarpy, Thurston, Washington. July 23—Banner, Boone, Buffalo, Cheyenne, Colfax, Dawson, Deuel, Douglas, Garfield, Hall, Keith, Kimball,Lincoln,Merrick, Nance, Platte, Scott’s Bluff, Valley. August 6—Blaine, Box Butte, Custer, Grant, Greeley, Hamilton, Hooker,Howard, I.ogan, Loup, McPherson, Seward,Sherman, Thomas, Wheeler, York. August 20—Antelope, Boyd, Brown, Cedar, Cherry, Cuming, Dawes, Dixon, Dodge, Holt, Keya Paha, Knox, Madison, Pierce, Rock, Saunders, Sheridan, Sioux, Stanton, Wayne. In speaking of this new plan Superintend ent Goudy says: “I am sure there will be few, if any, instances in which the adoption of the dates named will be found impracticable so I confidently expect their general adoption. The county institute gives me the best oppor tunity to meet school officers, teachers and patrons, and in my contact with these, lies my highest opportunity for usefulness as a public school official. Formerly with no system of dates, much of my time in the institute season was wasted in reaching, consecutively, institutes in counties widely separated. The adoption by the county superintendents of the dates indicated will enable me to visit and take part in a much larger number of institutes. “You will observe that the schedule pro vides for periods of two weeks, not overlap ing, and this obviates a difficulty heretofore experienced in securing instructors and will permit the instruction to be given by a small er number and enable more sections of the state to secure the services of our best institute workers.” To the superintendents Mr. Goudy says: “X trust that you will find it beneficial to your county to arrange for your institute in accordance with this schedule and thus aid this department in expending its time and energies to the best advantage.” Sunday night, A. Andrus,a farmer living 3!3 miles from Danbury, died of quick consump tion. The deceased was but 28 years of age, and contracted the disease, last spring, while planting com. lie leaves a wife and four small children. The funeral took place 011 Tuesday.

Rankin Bros, delivered 32S car loads "f ice to the railroad company this year. W. I.. Frame checked the ice for the company.--Cam bridge Kaleidoscope. Renewed conferences between the genera passenger agents of the trans continental rail ways promise to remove the necessity for a trans-continental rate war that seemed almost inevitable last week. The railway officials recognize the disastrous consequences of such wars as well as any one else and are only too happy to avoid them where they are carrying a legitimate traffic. Particularly at a time like the present, when no road has a surplus of patronage, a trans continental rate war would work deplorable results upon the business of the roads. Roadmaster Haley was in town this week and informed us the velocipede car which he recently invented and had on exhibiton at the World’s fair in charge of W. -S. Terry, got burned....“I’ve got money to throw at snow birds,” remarked a stranger on the depot platform yesterday, that had about three fing ers in his tank. And some of the bystanders suggested that he put the twenty dollar gold piece he was displaying on the rail and see the train run over it. He did. The shiner stuck to the wheels of the engine on a thro’ freight and was gone. Up to the present time an army of boys have failed to locate it.—Hol brook News.

Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. A DOLLAR or two is considerable these hard times, but there are times when you are wholly justified in the expenditure. For instance if you are looking for a Round Quit Heating Stove, don’t let some un scrupulous dealer sell you some other Stove for the Round Quit k or sell you some cheap imitation _ which is “ just as good” for a &oiL r Or Tw o Less.
