The National Christian League for the Promotion of Social Parity hare decided that Col. Brecken ridge onght to be de , 4 i Charles W. Mosheb, the Nebraska bank wrecker, has been put to work in the penitentiary laundry at Sioux Falls, S. D., and handles the soap and flat irons as good as the best. Printers who stepped from their cases to give the type-setting machines a chance to prove their worth at the Bee office, Omaha, have started the Omaha News, which is receiving a liberal sup port. Commander Coxey with his army of 100 vagabonds broke camp at Massillon, Ohio, Sunday morning, and started on their march toward Washington; 2,000 men and boys followed the column out of Massillon. The interstate irrigation convention opened in Omaha Wednesday of last week. Three hundred delegates, from Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Wy oming, Missouri and Montana were in attendance. Several distinguished ad vocates of irrigation ideas from the east were also present. A feature of the assemblage was the presence of a large number of speakers who have achieved national renown. Congressman Bryan is his speech at Omaha said that "only one per cent of the customs are now being paid in gold, and it is plain there is another plan on foot to force the issuance of more bonds." Think of it!" says Mr. Bryan, "a gov ernment issuing bonds for gold and then allowing the gold to pay for them being drawn from its own treasury. If you can conceive of a more absurd proposi tion you hare a livelier imagination than I have." Thirtv-six cars of immigrants have crossed the river at this point during the past two weeks, all of whom come from Iowa, and are settling on lands near Emerson and other towns to the north of us. Agent bquier informs us tnat this number is very small in comparison with what has crossed the river at Omaha and Sioux City. In most cases they are well-to-do farmers and are taking their stock and household goods with them. This is the kind of people who always do a country good, and at the present rate all the desirable lands in northeastern Ne braska will soon be under cultivation, and her prairies made to bloom like the rose. Blair Pilot Prof.IL L. Garnier, the monkey man, so to speak, said in a London lecture that the first night he spent in his cage in the African forest was one of the proudest of his life. Sometimes, indeed, he was lonely. The gorilla was an ani mal of shy habits, but his own monkey traveling companions attracted them, and a gorilla, now and then would pay him a visit. He believed he had seen more gorillas than any other white man. The natives told him he would have seen more if he had blacked his faco, but the scarcity of water deterred him from doing so. During the nine months he was on the coast he had fever twelve times. His friend Moses was also ill, and his other chimpanzee, Aaron, treated Moses with the greatest care and tenderness. The natives regarded the cage as a sort of fetish. On one occasion he was favored with a prolonged visit from a lady gorilla, who was chasing a dog to which he was in the habit of giving an occasional bone. He was not, however, able to hold much converse with her, aB she was too much astonished to talk. It was his intention to return to Africa, bring back a number of chimpanzees, and give practical illus tration of the progress he had made. New Poiat or Law Invoked to Avoid Baild ing TranHfer Switches. Judge W. R. Kelley of Omaha, repre senting the receivers of the Union Pacific, has filed with the secretaries of the State Board of Transportation a document ex plaining at length his reasons why his company should not be compelled to put in a transfer switch at Schuyler according to the findings and recommendations submitted by Secretaries Dilworth, John son and Koontze last week. Judge Kel ley urges the following objections to the findings: 1. That all of the property of the Union Pacific has passed into the cus tody and control of five receivers ap pointed by the United States courts, and therefore it is not in the power of the company to take any steps in regard to the transfer switches. 2. That the Union Pacific shows that it is a corporation existing nnder and by ' virtue of the laws of the United States and not of the laws of the state of Nebraska. , 3. That the Union Pacific has no real estate at Schuyler, sufficient, fit or proper for the site of a transfer switch 'between its line and the line of the - Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and that it is impossible to build such a track " without placing it upon real estate be- . longing to third parties. 4. That under the constitution of the state of Nebraska the Union Pacific is .-prohibited from exercising the right of .fiivtuuiKTu uui" cjvmwoiu-, -" - w I eminent domain, whereby the eaid com-1 .. . ., . m j I many finds it impoeeible to obey an order pany finds it impossible to obey of the board for the construction of any part of a connecting track at Schuyler. 5. That since it is not within the power of the Union Pacific to exercise the right of eminent domain, therefore it is beyond the power of the State Board of Transportation to make an order re quiring it to do that which is forbidden by the supreme law of the state. 6. That the Union Pacific already maintains transfer switches at South Omaha, seventy miles east of Schuyler, and at Columbus, sixteen miles west. 7. That the Union Pacific is a line running from Columbus to Omaha and the Burlington runs from Schuyler to Omaha, and therefore the through busi neaa. referred to in the findings of the secretaries does not require a transfer switch at Schuyler. aDhe contention of Judge Eelley that the state of Nebraska, through any of its authorized boards, has no power to com pel the Union Pacific to obey any order requiring it to purchase real estate be cause the constitution prohibits the Union Pacific from exercising the right of eminent domain, raises a new point which has hitherto been unthought of. The secretaries of the State Board of Transportation acknowledge that the new point raised by the Union Pacific has surprised them, and they have not yet studied the question sufficiently to enable them to predict the outcome. Omaha Bee. Oar Neighbor. y&jar another $1,000 toward building a new Y. M. C. A. building there. Mr. Steele, of the Norfolk sugar fac tory, in his address at the farmers' insti tute here last week, estimated the aver age cost of production of an acre of beets at $30, itemized as follows; plowing 81.50; harrowing 25c; floating 10c; seed $3; seeding 25c; hand-work $14; horse cul ture $1.50; pulling $1; topping $4; cart age $4. Fremont Herald. Abraham Schmoker died suddenly at his farm on the valley last Monday morning about 8 o'clock. He was herd ing cattle in the stalks in company with a little girl at the time. He was an old man but up to a short time ago was stout and hearty. He had been troubled some with rheumatism for a few weeks. The funeral was held Tuesday at the German M. E. church on the valley. Osceola Record. Again thequonkof the festive goose is heard in the land and our local Nimrods are getting a hump on them that would astonish a hired man; they sally forth before the morning sun has made its appearance, filled with buoyant hopes and loaded with decoys. In the evening they return with disappointment, wet feet, and a huge appetite, ready to re peat the experiment the following morn ing. Some men will labor harder to kill a goose than to raise a crop of corn, but so runs the world. Central City Non pareil. Erickson & Peterson have made prop osition to the city council to put down an artesian well. The council at its next regular meeting will consider the proposition and if accepted we will probably soon know whether or not artesian water is obtainable here. If a flowing well can be had it is certainly just the thing we want, The artesian well, pipe, reservoir and entire water works plant at Niobrara cost about $7,000 and if we can get such a well here our water works plant conld be put in for the amount of bonds voted. Cedar Rapids Republican. The following from the Albion Argus will be interesting to many Journal readers: "Several years ago the village of Albion began suit in. the district court against Willard Baker to regain posses sion of a strip of land about twelve feet wide running the length of his residence lot in Albion that he held under fence. Baker set up the plea that he had had possession for ten years and that under the statutes this made him owner of the land. The district court sustained him and the village appealed to the supreme court. The supreme court rendered a decision this week affirming the decision of the lower court. This makes Baker undisputed owner of the land." of Supervisors' Proceeding. Official. 1 av A.M.. March 11. Board ed at 9 o'clock, Hon. Niels Ol- son, cuail G. W. Phillips, e'erk.
