Bell wood Gazette. President Burt of the Union Pacific railroad has announced that the com pany will contribute $25,000 to the Trans-Mississippi Exposition, which was good news to the management.

Some very competent judges are already, from present indica tions, predicting the eclipse ot the World's Fair. The Gluck store building occupied by H. Ragatz & Co., has been under going quite a change the past week. The stairway was taken down and placed in the middle of the room, the stair landing coming to the extreme back of the building. The office is moved to the back and east part of the room. The new arrangement gives more room and light and is more convenient in many ways. Mr. Ragatz occupies the base ment and upstairs and is still crowded for room for his large custom. The funeral ot Valentine S. Hoy, who was killed ia Wyoming by outlaws, was held Wednesday afternoon at Fremont. The ceremonies were under the direction of the Masonic lodge of Fremont. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Buss. The trouble grew out ot outrages that the outlaws had committed, one of these being the murder of a 16-year-old boy named Strang, who made his home with the Hoys. The gang were followed, and four outlaws paid their life as a penalty for their crimes, and they were wrapped in their blankets and buried.

After the city election last spring the city conncil by resolution designated the Telegram and the Argus to do the publishing of ordinances, notices, etc., at one legal rate for the two papers. It seems that lately there is a tendency to let the Argus out, bnt the parties in interest in that paper are not inclined to submit to a deal of that kind, and so have been printing some ordinances and notices' after the time limit, and present ed their bill for same according to the fusion understanding of a year ago. A bill toir $18.75 was cut down to $15.00, and tbe'end is not yet. We suppose if there is a fusion of populists and demo crats this spring, there will be a little "stronger" understanding in regard to such matters. r" I'd like to be a boy again without a woe or care, with freckles scattered on my face and hayseed in my hair: I'd like to rise at four o'clock and do a hundred chores, and saw the wood and feed the hoga and lock the stable doors; and herd the hens and watch the bees and take the mules to drink, and teach the tur keys how to swim so that they wouldn't sink; and milk about a hundred cows and bring in wood to burn, and stand out in the sun all day and churn and churn and churn; and wear my brother's cast-off clothes and walk fonr miles to school, and get a -licking everyday for breaking some old rule; and then get home again at night and do the chores once more: and milk the cows and feed the hogs and curry mules galore and then crawl wearily up stairs to bed and hear dad say "That worthless boy, he doesn't "earn his bread r I'd like to be a boy again; a boy has so much fun, bis life is just a roaad of mirth from rise to set of sun; I guess there's nothing pleasantcr than closing stable doors, and herding hens and chasing bees and doing evening chores.

April 3, 1894, the school board of this district submitted a proposition to the electors to bond, the district for $18,000 for the purpose of purchasing two, sites, erecting: two school buildings and pro viding them with furniture. Tho proposition was voted down, and since that the school board -has been planning and contriving the best they could for room until now they have again come to the parting of the ways. The question was whether to make an expenditure of, say about $3,000 in ad ditions to the First and Third ward buildings, with perhaps a house, some thing like the one-roomed frame build ing in the Third ward to be put west of the Meridian line or to put np one large building. It was proposed to do the first by a levy; the last requires s vote' by the people. Two members of the board, Galley and Gondring, were in favor of the former proposition. The other fonr members, Becher, Gluck, Hockenberger and Scott, favored the bond proposition, and hence the people are asked to de cide. It one of these fonr had been like minded with the president of the board anil Mr. Gondring, the board would have been equally divided on the tiro plans. It ia now for the people to decide, and of course, it is their business. The proposition is to issue $25,000 in bonds of the district, four and a half per cent interest, running twenty years. This would be $1,125" interest each year, making for 20 years, $2200 interest, ia addition" to the $25,000; total $47,500. March 11, 1884, a proposition to issue $25,000 for a like purpose was submitted to the people and voted down; another was immediately submitted for $12,000 and carried, the Second ward building being the result, the two lots costing $1,800, and the building $8,265. The expenditure now proposed would give at least an eight-room building, and with the usual per centage of in crease in the school- population of the city, would probably accommodate the' needs for the next ten years. The Journal has no doubt but if the bonds are VQted, the people will get the full value of their money in a site, build ing and furniture, and this is one of the chief considerations. There is also no doubt but that, if the bonds are not voted, the current levy will be increased, and additional build ings put up, to last' some three years more, and another bond proposition will again be inevitable, and there you are. The majority of the board give this as their solution of the problem, and we do not doubt their fairness, their ability br their integrity in the matter. Individually, we are not prepared to vote for the proposition, but we shall express no word of sorrow if the proposi tion carries. NOTICE TO STOCKHOIJERS.

The police secured the return of his money after a little trouble. It is only a Nebraska farmer who goes galloping around the country with 85,000 in his pockets, but if 'he is wise he will stay away from Chicago and invest in more Nebraska land. Osceola Record: It is not very often that men live to be over one hundred years old, but our friend, Charlie Dunn, reported a case to us last week which is, beyond all doubt, a true one. The per son in question was Patrick Riley, of Drumtone, Ireland, and Mr. Dunn was well acquainted with him. He died on January 4, at the age of 112 years. Hia life, and death, are written up inCarvan, (Ireland) News. It says in part, "He was drawing turf at the age of 12, when he distinctly heard the roar of cannon at the battle of Ballinamuck, on the 8th of September, 1798." The News mentions fonr others who lately died in the same neighborhood, all over 100 years old. TJieee people lived in the place where our friend Charlie Dunn was raised and as knows this to be true. on I ISM COLUMBUS, NEBR. L To Chicago aad the East.
