Douglass’ green house is about finished on his river bank estate. * Engineer Holliday is making some more improvements on his cosy dwelling, this week. There is quite an encouraging improvement in railroad business, and it will continue and grow for some time. It is reported that important railway changes looking to the restoration of the old order of thmgs will take place about the first of May. Here’s hoping for their consumma tion. There was a small fire at the depot, Monday, possibly caused by a cigar stub throan into a hole in the sidewalk. Prompt action saved the building. The damage was slight, but it was a close call.—Palisade Times. E. A. Sprague moved his household goods to Wilsonville this week from Republican City, and has moved upon his place south of town. Until their new dwelling is completed they will live in the sod house now upon the place.—Wilsonville Review. Mr. and Mrs. A. McG. Robb came in from Omaha, Tuesday night, and have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Stiles a few days. Mr. Robb was formerly Supt. Campbell’s private secretary here, but is now in the com pany’s general offices at Omaha. Ernest McConnell, an engineer on the Bur lington before the 1886 strike, arrived in the city, Friday evening, on a visit to relatives in this section. He was the guest of his sister, Mrs. Albert McMillen, during his short stay. Ernest is now running out of Toronto, Cana da, and is wearing diamonds, or words to that effect. Charles Deitrich, who was a Burlington engineer in the ante-strike days, spent Satur day in the city, visiting old-time friends.

The parcel is located just south of the west river bridge, and besides having a fine water front, embraces a good patch of the priceless alfalfa. The hogs will be moved down from the Frenchman valley, as soon as the fencing is completed. Railroad employes, as well as all persons interested in the observance of the Sabbeth, will hail with joy the recent action of several eastern roads relative to the cessation of labor on Sunday. It indicates that there are at least a few companies that are not entirely indifferent to the interests of their employes, and encourages the hope that a brighter day is dawning when railway corporations will acknowledge the divine right of all to devote one day in the week to physical and mental recreation. Mrs. A. M. Laidley died, on Tuesday night of this week, of pneumonia. The deceased arrived here a week or two since from Oxford, and has been keeping house for her son E. W. Laidley, who is in the train service of the company. She was 52 years of age. The remains were shipped to Oxford, Wednesday night, for burial. This is the second fatality that has overtaken this family in our city, within about a year, a married daughter hav ing died over in West McCook shortly after her arrival in the city from Oxford. The son here has the profound sympathy of all in the overwhelming affliction that has come upon him. The State Pair. The management of the Nebraska state board of agricnlture is arranging for an ex traordinary fair and exposition at Lincoln in September next. While the association was organized almost exclusively as an agricultural developing medium, and at first, and for many years following, acted and worked in that line principally because our own people, as a rule, regarded the state as peculiarly and almost exclusively agricultural in its characteristics, of late years there has been most gratifying tendencies in the direction of manufacturing industries. As a result there has been organ ized a state manufacturers' and consumer's as sociation. Last year a large portion of the agricultural hall on the state fair grounds was given this association for its annual exhibit, at the same time, on the same grounds, and in connection with the state fair, as a part of the great state exposition, and with most agreea ble and satisfactory results. This year the manufacturers’ association is to occupy all of the large hall on the fair grouds erected for and known as merchants’ hall. This will in sure a grand exhibit of both the agricultural and manufacturing resources of the state. In asking bids for the relocation of the state fair and exposition for the coming five years, one of the prominent specifications will be for a manufacturers’ hall of sufficient capacity to accommodate the growing demands of the Nebraska manufacturing factors. The art demands of the state are of such rapid growth that more space is required for this department and will be furnished in due time. The superintendents of agricultural and horticultural halls are already impoi tuning the management for more space. Also the poultry, honey and fish departments. Columbian year seems to have stimulated to fair work all over the state. County organ izations are early in the field and already ac tively at work for the coming fall campaign. All in all the outlook for fairs in 1894 is most promising, and the climax will come in the final state grand round up on the days of Sep tember 7 to 14 next.
