Lincoln , Neb. , April in. governor Mickey has Issued the following Ar bor day proclamation , setting aside Saturday , April 22 , for the planting of t roes : Nebraska has profited much by I ho Institution and observance of Arbor day. The prolific planting of trees' by the pioneers and by those who came after them haw not only changed the aspect of the plains aw Inherited from nature , but has wrought an Im portant change In climatic conditions as well. Many parts of the stale now present the appearance of a w ll- wooded country , while other portions are responding to the Inspiration of example and arc making rapid strides In the same good cause. Through a wise enactment of the legislature a day has been permanently set apart for the purpose of conserving the In terests of forestry and perpetuating the pi'eoppt and example of the earlj tree planters. In harmony with the statute re ferred to I , John II. Mickey , governor of the state of Nebraska , do hereby designate Saturday , April 22 , 1905 , as Arbor day and do earnestly enjoin Its proper observance upon all clli/ens of the commonwealth. Let the day be given ever to the setting of tr 'es. plants and shrnlm , to the end that private and public grounds may have Intelligent ornamentation and that present as well as future gener.ilIons may receive the benefit of our toll.

PAPERS SENT TO WASHINGTON Though the Result of the Sitting of the Court Has Not Been Given Out , It is Thought Trial the Decision Is Against Captain. Omaha , Neb. , April 12. The court martial proceedings against Captain ( Jeorgo W. KIrkmnn are believed to have resulted In a decidedly unfavor able decision against him , the papers having been received at army head quarters here on Saturday nlgljt and Immediately forwarded to Washing ton for the inspection of the president. The charges against Captain Kirk- man Included , "conduct unbecoming an ofllcer and a gentleman" and In toxication.

Whether his punishment will be dismissal from the army or come in sonic other form Is not yet known , but there Is good reason to believe that the charges against him were grave enough to warrant , his removal from the service.

WAGES WERE NOT HIGH ENOUGH Obed Klentz , Who Went to Colorado to Work In the New Factory There , Has Returned nnd Says That Many Others are Following. Obed Klenl/ returned to Norfolk last night from Lnmar , Col. , where ho went to work In the new mignr factory , erected there and equipped with machinery from this city , and slates that a large number of men who left Norfolk for that place have Htarled buck home , dlssatlulled with tholr wages , which were , he said , re duced after the men had arrived. A number of the workmen who quit work started back by way of Denver and a number of others returned by way of Omaha.

Mr. Klent/ did not like Lemar nor the portion of Colorado In whleh that town In located. The water , he said. Is unfit to drjnk exeep' ' when purified and that the territory Is filled with greasers. He slated that a number of Norfolk men who left several weeks ago have started buck to Norfolk and may be expected here , unless they find em ployment enroule , before very long. A Resolution.

DAMAGE'WAS NOT VERY LARGE The Fact That It Was In the Series and That it Occurred at About the Same Hour as the Series of the Night Before Adds Interest. The llrebug , If there IH Hiieli a thing hovering about Norfolk , and there IH belter than a suspicion that tbere Is. last night transferred the sceuo of his operations to ihe Junction and there touched up a barn back of the barber shop and near the Perry hoi'se The alarm was sprung on the public about 1 ! : ; !

The barn was Hie properly of Mr. Dreed and was empty as wan Ihe ( Saylnrd barn that had been ( going about Hie same hour HID night pre vious. The lire was notable only for Ihe fuel tbr.t It followed In the long series ( if alarms that hav < j been dyen ( bin spring.

If II can bo proven Hint tbere IK an Incendiary at work and the responsible Individual can be apprehended It IH likely to go hard with him. Outside of Hie mere damage by the lire.

ICach iilarm causes the city an expense of $10 to $ l.r > . and for each one the llremen are compelled to make a long run and leave ; their hornet ; and their beds. It IK no longer a joke and It is probable that Inore.is- Ing vigilance will be exercised In all parts of the city until someone Isip - prohended for the work am ! H will go hard with them whether the dam- ago by Ihe fire Is largo or not. II Is la matter for penitentiary punishment and such a sentence will probably be given If there Is a conviction.
