WEDNESDAY. MARCH 28, IBM.
Senator Colquitt of Georgia was on
Monday reported sinking rapidly and his
death was expected every moment.

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.

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

harrowing 25c; floating 10c; seed $3;
seeding 25c; hand-work $14; horse cul

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.

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

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."

What is
Castorla is Dr. Samuel Pitcher's prescription for Infauts
and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute
for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil.
It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years' use by
Bullions of Mothers. Castorla destroys Worms and allays
feverishnees. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic Castoria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas
toria is the Children's Panaceathe Mother's Friend.
Castoria.
"Caatori Is an excellent medietas for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told ioe cf iu
good affect upon their children."
Da. G. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Maes.
M Castoria ts the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is cot
far distant when mothers will consider the real
isterest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the rarious quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to prematura graves."
