President Burt of the Union Pacific
railroad has announced that the com

good news to the management. As the

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.

AL Schram expects to visit friends
here for several weeks yet. He looks in
excellent health, and doubtless the
western climate agrees with him. He
works with his uncle, John Schram, for
merly of this eity, now one of the great
business men of Seattle, which, owing
to the gold excitement in Alaska, has
taken up a new commercial life, so to
speak, business of all kinds feeling the
impetus of the going and coming Klon
dike movements of men and products,
golden and otherwise. Among the other
industries that are showing up iu these
times is that of ship-building, including I
orders placed by the government. Mr.
Schram speaks ot White, Schug and
other former Columbus people flourish
ing. 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.

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. Wslt Mason.

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.

steers went at prices ranging from $4.50
65.05, commoner grade bringing 3.75
fr.-4.15. Fat, heavy hogs sold all right,
bnt light hogs were neglected and the
market closed weaker. Heavy sold at
3.7524.10, light at $3.70&a92.
Trade in sheep and lambs was as active
as the limited offerings wonld admit,
fed westerns fetching 84.00.4.60; year
lings 34.505.00, and lambs $4.25.5.50,
few going below 85.
Receipts Friday: cattle, 3,500 head;
hogs, 15,000 head; sheep, 6,000 head.
At South Omaha good, heavy and well
finished steers sold at strong prices. A
part of .a load of choice 1,410 lb. steers
sold up to 85.00.
Good veal calves are valuable prop
erty, the demand being good and the
market very strong. As high cs 86.75
was paid Thursday, and Friday n small
bunch sold up to 86.80.
Native beef steers, 84.1055.00; cows,

Lyons Sun: A Nebraska farmer was
recently victimized by confidence men
in Chicago, who obtained from him
83,000 in cash and 82,000 in checks.
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.
