class concert company and lovers of music should not fail to hear them They are all Xebraska people too the ladies coming from Ashland and the gentlemen from Lincoln One of the most pleasant features

through in good shape AGAINST BOARD JUDGE WESTOVER ISSUES A PEREMPTORY WRIT Ordering1 the Canvassing Hoard to Reconvene and Count tlie Vote of the aVeeinctM Thrown Out Other liorlc of Court Judge Westover held a special term of court here Monday and Tuesday and in addition to ordering a number of confirmations and doing other busi of a like nature heard a petition from Rock county by its attorney J A Douglas asking for an alternative writ of mandamus against the comissioners of Brown county to compel them to make a special tax levy for the purpose of paying a judgement held against Brown county for 5541 also asking that the commissioners be fined 500 each for neglecting to per form their duty The court granted the mandamus making it returnable at Ainsworth on Aug 24 A freindly replevin suit between Chas T Jones and W E Haley ad ministrator cf the Enlow estate was heard and Jones was given the certi ficates of deposit which he had left in John Enlows care a short time before he died A divorce was granted Amberson G Shaw from Rhoda A Shaw on grounds that they were uncongenial This is a case which was left over from last fall but was nevertheless a surprise A divorce was also granted Mary Johnson from Chester S Johnson as sessor on the ground that Chester shamefully treated her and called her names at divers times and in various places The couple has two children but they did not enter into the versy J Thackrey of Cooper Irwin pre cinct appeared to ask for a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel the can vassing board of the bond election to reassemble and count the vote of Dewer Lake Eniow and Kennedy pre cincts but by agreement the case was put off until Tuesday morning at 9 oclock M F Harrington appeared for Thackrey and it having been decided that no hard fight should be made the testimony in the case was soon taken and submitted to the court on its merits Judge Tucker appearing for the canvassing board to keep the re cord straight It seems that the -case was pretty much one sided because the judge granted the mandamus with out hardly a moments hesitation The writ commands the board to as semble immediately and count the votes of Xenzel and Sharps Ranch as well as the three before named and this the board will do as soon as D II Thurston can come up from Holt coun ty This settles the court house bond question unless some citizen wishes to contest the election in which event the bonds might be declared carried Everybody should feel glad that the case is disposed of but the county would have been saved about 125 or more had action been commenced sooner For over a month after the count nothing was done but it was finally decided that no action would be taken by the opponents of the bonds and they were ordered printed This cost 50 a special session of the board and a trip to Lincoln all of which would have been saved The utmost good feeling prevails over the decision of the judge and no criticisms are heard On account of the bad weather of the past week which has prevented us from finishing our work here we have rented the Shaw gallery for one more week and will remain in town until Aug 16 until which time we will be prepared to furnish all who come with the same high grade of photos which we have been turning out during the last ten days Anderson Siiempi A man in the Indian territory is liv ing as a hermit

the Snake and Niobrara being incapable of furnishing sufficient water to irrigate the entire district This is too bad and it really does seem that this conclusion could have been reached long ago before the district had been put to so much expense This a great feather in the caps of Miles and Berkley of Ainsworth and they can afford to do a little crowing and say I told you so As soon as the debts of the district are paid it it will be disorginized J W Tucker was this week reinstat ed as receiving and shipping clerk for the Indian warehouse at this place J A Carroll at the same time receiving notice that he had been promoted to the position of chief clerk at the Pott awattomie and Great Nemaha reserva tion in Kansas about 15 miles from Topeka These changes give general
