Burlington officials state in connection
with their recent trip over the entire sys
tem that they find the condition of Nebraska
,
braska as very encouraging , and the road
in good shape , but that there will be
little or no railroad building in the state
during 1897.
C.V. . Britt received a telegram , Tues
day , from San Jose , California , announc
ing the death of his brother L. H. , who
very recently went there for his health.
The remains will likely be shipped to
Plattsmouth for burial. Mr. Britt's many
warm friends deeply sympathize with
him in this bereavement.
The Burlington depot at Hyde , Colorado
rado , was destroyed by fire , Monday
morning. A tramp broke into the build
ing to obtain shelter from thestorm.and
starting a fire on the floor fell , asleep.
He awoke in time to save his worthless
hide , but the depot was entirely de
stroyed. The depot has been closed to
the public for two or three years. The
loss is small.
Monday , March 15th , the Los Angeles
Daily Times was issued under auspices ss
of the Order of Railroad Conductors ,
which will hold its biennial convention
in the city of the angels commencing
May nth. The issue is largely devoted
to illustrations and letter press of the
subject of transportation and contains
much of interest and instruction. "We
are under obligation to Conductor W.
D. Beyrer for a copy of the special issue ,
which has a handsomely illuminated 1
cover.

II. P. Sutton has some green shells ,
specially loaded for elephants , which he
takes ' pleasure in loaning to- amateur
sportsmen. j Dr. Gage went out duck
,
hunting with Sutton , Monday , and run
ning 1 short of ammunition the doctor
was forced to draw on the greens. Pres
ently < a red-neck came flying directly
toward j the doctor , who drew a dead-bead
on the duck , shut both eyes and pulled
the 1 trigger. Great Gemima ! Both bar
rels 3 go almost simultaneously , and the
doctor < followed suit , landing on his back
in j a pool of water. The doctor's digni
ty was slightly shattered , but there was
no 1 other damage. t Sutton can't tell what
became of the red-neck for laughing.
The doctor will bet his money on the
red in the future. The hunters were , nev
ertheless ( , rewarded with an overflowing
game ; bag.

Notice to Treasurers School Dists.
I have received a number of letters sta
ting that the school orders are not paid
in the order of registration. To save any
further trouble , I will refer you to section
12 of chapter 93 of the compiled statutes
of Nebraska for 1865 , which is as follows :
"Any treasurer who shall fail to regis
ter any warrant in the order of its pres-
eutation therefor , or shall fail to pay the
same in the order of its registrationshall
be liable on his official bond to each and
every person the payment of whose war-
rant or warrants is thereby postponed.in
the sum of $500 00 , to be recovered in a
civil action , one-half of which shall go to
the person bringing such action , and one-
half to the school fund of the county in
which the action is brought" .
