Ferd Brinckman went up to Norfolk Tuesday and took a trip out to the asy lum, to see if association with his former surroundings doesn't bring back to his mind events leading up to his accident His is a queer case. Physically he is about as well as ever, and is perfectly ra tional. He recognizes all his friends, and events in years past, but hasn't the slightest recollection of working at the asylum, the burning of the laundry, nor of his terrible fall from the building. Madison Chronicle. Every once in a while something occurs to prove that the laws of the country ought to be obeyed because they are the laws. A continued defiance of the public will aa expressed in the statutes of the state will finally result disastrously to the violators. It is -per fectly natural that it should, because a long-forbearing publio becomes tired, disgusted and resentful at such treat ment and eventuallygets wrathful and often vindictive, until by violence an end is put to such violation. It ought not so to be, perhaps, but such has markedly been the method of the Amer ican people, as witness the disposition of slavery. Is your liver tired? Does ft fail to do Its duty?

Boydston, Grand Chan cellor of Nebraska, who delivered a fine address, illustrative of the principles of the order. After the meeting at the hall, about thirty Knights to the tap of the drum, marched in double file to the cemetery, where, after a short address by Judge Hensley, beautiful flowers were strewn on the graves of the depart ed brethren whose bodies lie in the silent city. There is talk of somebody institut ing proceedings and at least getting out a search-warrant to find what has be come of the eighteen bottles of beer that were lately the subject of so much con troversy. It seems that there was not proof exactly sufficient to show who owned the beer, and before the matter could be judicially determined, the beer, bottles and all, has disappeared from view, and left no trailing track. Be tween Sheriff Byrnes, County Judge Robison and County Attorney O'Brien, each one says it must lie between the other two, and so it goes. A suspicious bottle on the judge's desk led one vis itor to say that he liked sociability in an official, but when he was informed that the bottle had stood just that way for two weeks, and that the contents was benzine, there was no room for wonder.

A soldier in the present war gives some good advice to friends at home, words worth more than their weight in gold: "Allow me," he writes, "to advise the people at home who have friends here to write often, but do not whine; do not tell them how bad you want them to come home, they cannot come; do not tell them your troubles, they have troubles of their own; do. not tell them of the good things you have to eat, it does cot assist them in digesting the army rations, so do not enlarge on the parties, dinners or picnics you may at tend, they cannot attend. Tell them how proud you are of them; tell them how you love them for being brave men do not pity them, but be brave your selves and do everything in your power to dispel homesickness and your boys will make such 'soldiers as you maybe proud of." Memorial services were held at Odd Fellows hall Sunday forenoon by Wil dey Lodge No. 44, and Yashti Lodge, Daughters of Rebecca, a very appro priate and interesting address being made by H. J.

Interment in the Colum bus cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Joseph S. Murdock was born at Bre ton, N. Y., August 29, 1829. He lived a few years at Glens Falls, a near-by city, a few years before coming west to Rock ford, 111., in 1876. There he lived about two- years, coming to Platte county in April, 1878, living for the first four years in Monroe township, and since then in this city. He was always a busy, active man, and has been engaged as a carpenter and contractor, as a lumber dealer and as a grocer. Mr. Murdock served his country for about three years during the War of the Rebellion as a member of the Fifteenth New York cavalry. Although a Mason, he did not identify himself with any lodge after coming west He was one of the organizers of the Building and Loan association of this city, and the officers of the associa tion attended the funeral in a body. He was married June 22, 1852, to Miss Charlotte Hudson, who, with their two children, H. L and William survive to mourn the departure of a loving hus band and father. A Legal Peiat. The following is the opinion handed up to the school board at their request, by Judge Post the attorney for the board: "In response to the inquiry embodied in your resolution of recent date, viz., whether the school districts are in this state authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain in appropriating real estate for school house sites, I have to say that the only provision of statute bearing upon the subject is found in Subdivision XII of Chapter 79, known i the school law. This statute authorizes the appropria tion for the purpose mentioned, of real estate upon which the school board may desire to locate a school house, whenev er the owner thereof refuses or neglects to grant such site, or whenever the own er cannot be found. The method of procedure prescribed is an appraisement by three disinterest ed persons, none of whom shall be resi dents of the district Upon payment or tender to the owner of the amount awarded in his favor, the district is au thorized to take possession of, and hold the property appropriated so long as it is used for school purposes. The foregoing wise provision is, how ever, greatly modified and restricted by a subsequent section as follows: 'When land is thus taken without the consent of the owner, it shall not be more in amount than one acre, and all orchards, gardens, public buildings shall not be liable to be thus taken, nor shall land be taken within twenty rods of any resi dence.' It would seem as the obvious and necessary result of this legislation that the board of education is without au thority to appropriate private property for the purpose of a school house site within twenty rods of any residence property. Respectfully, A. M. Post." Next Monday, June 20, St Francis Academy hold their annual commence ment exercises, the graduates in the literary course being Misses K. Beech- ler, G. Fitzpatrick and C. Matthews. Besides the usual literary and music program, in which the graduates and others take part, there is to be an inter esting drama of four scenes, The Count ess' Saint's Day." Those named on the program, other than the gradnates al ready referred to, are: Misses G. Dalton, K. Costello, J. Williamson, B. Stauffer, L. Tomlin, R. Callahan, M. Macken, L. Brown, E. Short, T. Bauer, R. Wilson, L. Brodfnehrer and E. Kersenbrock. The efficient and faithful work of the Sisters of St Francis cannot be too highly commended, and this institution of learning ranks high in its class be cause of their labors and the care and fidelity they have evidenced in the work for the youth confided temporarily to The salaries of teachers for the va rious departments is to be the same as last year, with the exception that the new teachers are to be, for the first three months, $5 a month less, when, if their work is satisfactory, the salaries are to be the same as last year; the suburban teacher is to have $320 a month in stead of $33. . President Galley was authorized to take the bonds to Lincoln for registry, and went Monday. Mr. Galley says that the officers at Lincoln thought our school bonds ought to bring a premium that they were in excellent shape. A new proposition "fofschool Bite was received from Messrs. Geitzen and Mc Allister; reducing the price of a half block from $2700 to $2500. The election of music teacher was deferred.

A motion was made, and lost, that the superintendent be authorized to make the assignment of positions to teachers. With Cempaay K. Camp Merritt, San Francisco, Cal., June 7, 1898, Dear Journal: Every day brings Co. K nearer departure. - We were partially -equipped, the 2d, each man receiving a new rifle, also other articles usually carried by soldiers, each one carrying about fifty pounds. Yesterday the entire regiment were vaccinated, and I presume there will be a few sore arms in camp within the next few days. Tho regiment was inspected by U. S. officers on the 4tb, and I am proud to say that Col. Bratt gave Co. K credit for being the best company inspected; he also complimented our officers very highly. Notwithstanding this, I learn that there is a report circulated at Co lumbus that Capt. Kilian had been re duced to the ranks, etc. How such a report ever got started is more than I am able to figure out, for there is no truth at all in it. Capt. Kilian has the credit of being one of the best officers in the battalion, both in talent and oxpo rienco. The head surgeon issued an order yesterday to have all straw removed from our tents, which of course was complied with, although some of the boys seemed to think it not quite right to have to sleep on the sand. As we are encamped on an' old race course which has been filled in with sand, it. is rather unpleasant when the wind blows, which it manages to do the greater-part of the time. There is one consolation, however, in sleeping on the ground there is no danger of falling out of bed. The troops to leave Monday, I under stand are to be as follows: 1 battalion each 18th and 23d Regulars, 1 Colorado and Utah Light Artillery. The Nebraska boys are to go on the third expedition, but of course do not know when that will be. All the boys are anxious to get started. Most of the companies to leave Mon day have received their shelter tents, or dog tents, as old soldiers call them; these tents are 4x6 feet, two men to a tent, and how some of those six-footers are going to keep both ends of their bodies in the tent at the same time is more than I know. There is where I for one have a little the advantage. Well, I will bring this letter to a close, as it is time to go on drill I get time to write only between drills. Truly, John H. Brock, Private Co. K, 1 Neb. Vols. Captain Hewett, who for thirty years has sailed the southern seas, aboard the fine craft of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co., visited camp the other day and pre sented Captain Kilian with a fine navy revolver, which he carried through the civil war, and a valuable field glass, which has also seen service from the conning tower of the captain's ship. It was announced from San Fran cisco, under date of the 10th that the Morgan City and Senator will be added to the transport fleet of the second Ma nila expedition to sail June 15. The First Nebraska regiment will probably go with the expedition. Frank Welch writes an interesting personal letter to his folks, in which he speaks a few good words for California, but says they have tired of fruit The boys, during the day, it seems, have either just got through drilling or are just going out to drill. In the mean time they hunt the festive grayback, and Frank says he captured one weigh ing thirteen pounds! Bae Ball Brief. The game here Sunday between the Black Stars and the Platte Centers re sulted in a score of 26 to 1 in favor of the Stars. The. game advertised for here last Saturday was postponed until today, Wednesday. This ought to be more than the usual interesting game it ought to be lively, brilliant, strong and determined. The Indians of Genoa seem to be out after scalps all around. They not only defeated the Black Stars in a former game, unmercifully, but latterly they played with a "crack" nine of Newman Grove, winning by a score of 6 to 3. Those who attend the game today may reasonably expect the men on both sides to do their level best. New Bullae Fine. A joint stock company has been or ganized with D.

Although slight frosts occurred once or twice during the month, but little injury was done by them, but the excess of wet weather during blossoming time has been injurious to fruit, especially plums, cherries and some varieties of apples. The Tampa (Florida) Herald of June 4, contains this mention : G. B. Graves, an old time Nebraska printer boy, is here with the District of, Columbia reg iment and made a friendly call at these typographical headquarters today. He is in fine health and spirits and is stand ing the campaign in the excellent way common to tho craft." In a letter to the folks at home George tells them that in a march of twelve miles from Chickatnanga, Ga., to Chattanooga, Tenn., they were threo days on the road, and the heat was so terrible that 135 men dropped from exhaustion. Tampa is nine 'miles from tho Gulf of Mexico, and camp is on the shore of Tampa bay. It will take eight days to take the troops to Porto Rico, about 4,000 go at a time, being guarded by several warships. This is an awful hot country, and I am not favorably impressed with it. While at Chickamauga I met several companies from Nebraska, one from Schuyler was acquainted with several of the boys. I am with Co. G, First District of Co lumbia Volunteers, and the regiment left Washington with 964 men. George is son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Graves of this city. A ten minute ride through John Tannahill's grounds Saturday was an ocular demonstration that such a season as this we have not had in many a year. The growth of trees especially and vege tables is simply marvelous. John's or chard of about nine acres with its thous and and odd trees, apples, cherries, pears, plums and apricots, is one of the finest sights we bavo laid eyes on in a long while. Of course this season there has so far been no need of water, other than that furnished from the clouds, but in case of emergency he has his jumbo windmill, also a power elevator to fill bis pond for irrigating all his land. The gardening part of his enterprise has been leased this year to Henry Crews and Quart Hamer, and certainly they have everything in fine shape. The trees in Mr. Tannahill's orchard are from one to seven years old and are very thrifty. He expects to have from a row of young cherry trees some fifty bushels this season. He says his apricots are Rus sian and Japanese varieties. Trees are prolific of fruit which has no tendency to drop. John's water elevator has a capacity, with a team of horses, of ele vating 10,000 gallons of water an hour. War New Twiee a Week.
