is introduced in all seriousness and he
will urge its passage with all possible
vigor.
AT a special meeting of the board of
supervisors of Adams couity. called to
provide ways and means for furnishing
seed and fecdfor needy farmers , a proposition -
position to issue county warrants
against the general fund was tabled.
County Attorney McCreary informed
the board that such warrants could not
be issued legally. This leaves the farmers -
ers needing assistance no alternative
but to borrow money upon the best
terms they can make.
STEVE MCCAULEY , a farmer living
ten miles north of Gordon , near the
reservation line. was arrestedon a corn-
plaint filed by his wife , charged with

A ) IFETIXO was called at the town
hail in North Loup for the purpose of
considering a proposition purporting to
come from time Chicago Board of Trade
relative to furnishing the destitute
farmers of the county with seed grain.
So far as learned the proposed terms
are that the farmers are to give their
notes for such grain as is needed , the
validity and paymentof the same being
conditioned upon the production of a
crop the coming season.
Ir is not always that a committee
that waitson the legislature gets exactly -
ly what it comes for , but one Omaha
committee scored this point last week.
C. A. Starr , T. J. Penfoid , F. A. Ober ,
Rev. A. F. Irvine and Rev. A. W. Clark
of Omaha went before the senate corn-
mittee ii opposition to Senator Smith's
pool selling bill. The committee
promptly agreed to everything asked
by time Omaha delegation and the bill
was thus reported to the senate.
Fi.txs and specifications for a new
system of water works and an electric
light plant were submitted to the city
council of Nebraska City last week.
The p1ints are to be owned and operated -
ated by the city. The estimated cost
of the water works is $85,000 , and for
the electric light plant , $18,200. The
plans were accepted and placed on file.

less go through.
Trn : sheriff and deputy , of Kearney ,
have returned to Minden with fifteen
prisoners , who were arrested for breaking -
ing into a B. & M. freight car. A number -
ber of people conceived the idea that
they would break into provision cars
and depots and take all they could find
for the poor. Accordingly , some of
them hitched up their teams and went
to Axteli , the next station west of Mm-
den , and obtained a car of provisions
in a similar manner to the one robbed
at Kearney a while ago , and took time
contents to their homes for distribu-
tion. The defendants pleaded not gnu-
ty , and were held on their own recognizance -
nizance in the sum of S200 each.
THERE is trouble in the Methodist
church at Beaver City as the result of
revival meetings that have been in
progress there recently , and as a conse-
( uence the revivalist is now holding
his services in the cour& house instead
of the church. Outside reports are fly-
ung thick and fast to the effect that Rev.
H. r. Manuel , the evangelist , was aiming -
ing his sermons too straight at the
proverbial rich man to suit all around
and that for this the support of the
church as an organization was withdrawn -
drawn , in which event he took the
meetings to the court house , where lie
is being assisted by the regular pastor.
GoVERNoR ITOI.COMB has issued a
proclamation offering a reward of $20 ( )
br time apprehension and conviction of
the murderer or murderers of Frank
Lander. The letters of the sheriff and
county attorney asking that time reward
be offered relate the story. Lauder
was a man 65 years of age who lived
alone in Sherman county. On the morn-
ung of February 15 his dead body was
found within a few feet of the door of
of his house. An examination showed
'that ' he had been shot in the backiof
the head. None of his property ,
either in the house or on his person ,
hadbn disturbed. The county. officials -
cials declare that there is no clue that
would indicate who the guilty parties I
