set apart a fund of $10,000 for the pur
pose of expending for grain to be used

were not used and there was some grain
left, which, converted into money,
amounted to $65.50. Of all loaned out,
$5,729.47 has been paid in, leaving only
some $2,500 outstanding, which will in
all probability be paid in this fall,
making a much better showing than was
by many thought possible a year ago.

Another Floral Day Han Urea lustitated
in
Nebraska.
At the last regular session of the grand
lodge Ancient Order United Workmen
a resolution was passed to which Grand
Master Workman Tate refers in the fol
lowing circular which he has iasned to
the order. The resolution adopted was:
"Recognizing the fact that the prin
ciples and practices of the A. O. U. W.
have only to be set before all home
loving men to meet their hearty ap
proval and co-operation; also that an
annual religious service in inemorv of
I our departed brethren is a most fitting
nuguuiuu ui uui iiaiciuui iuiertL3 1U
each other, therefore bo it
"ResdPred, That this A. O. U. W. grand
lodge set apart the first Sunday in May
to be known as 'A. O. U. W. floral day'
and to be observed each year by subor
dinate lodges of this grand jurisdiction
with appropriate services and the deco
ration of the graves of their departed
brethren."
The grand master exhorts the various
lodges to meet in their lodge rooms
prior to the time of holding the relig
ious services and repair in a body to the
church, where such services are to be
held; to go to tho graveyards after the
religious services are concluded and
strew the graves of the sleeping with
flowers, and especially urges that the
children of A. O. U. W. families be en
couraged to take part in the exercises.
"Let us make this day," concludes
Grand Master Workman Tate, "as mem
orable to our order as Memorial day is
to that splendid organization, the G.
A.R."
There is no doubt but the A. O. U. W.
is one of the very best of all the frater
nal orders in existence, and its adoption
of the beautiful and appropriate cere
monies of Floral day marks an epoch in
the order.
The April meeting of the Farmers'
club was entertained by Mrs. M. E.

At a meeting of the town board of Monroe
township, held March Slat. IMS, the following
resolution was ananimoasly adopted and the
clerk was directed to furnish a copy to taa
board of sopervisors:
Resolved, That this township is abandantly
able to famish its officers with such of the stat
ute as are necessary for their guidance in pub
lic business, bat we are not willing to pass by
what we consider aa an encroachment on oar
rights and privileges without a protest. The
justice of the peace is aa much of county officer
as the judges and the clerks of the county, and
the statutes are more essential to him than (with
their facilities for obtaining legal knowledge)
to the supervisors; as we read the law and it has
never been disputed heretofore, it ia made the
duty of the county clerk under certain methods
to furnish the statutes to the county officiate
therein specified and if he has failed in his duty
it is no reason why this should be visited upon
tho people at large, but if he is innocent com
mon justice requires that a more explicit ex
planation should be given of the cause of fail
ure than is contained in the resolution of the
county board. Gko. S. Hutoax.
