a large number from the south, making
the drive from the Arkansas river in

The Western (Wisconsin) Farmer, in a
lengthy article gives Nebraska a send off,
part of which we copy: "For the young.
Nebraska is the easiest place to break in
the world. There they can get home
steads at a dime an acre. There a State
House has been built without costing the
state or city one dollar. This is the last
chance this side of the Pacific slope in
the great agricultural belt of the conti
nent, the gulf stream of inter-oceanic
travel. Nowhere else have railroads so
prepared the way for settlement. Ne
braska was bisected by one railroad, the
great Union Pacific, before it was born,
ond six other lines each laid down ten
miles ot track but February, lest they
should lose their land grants."
The following appeared in the Omaha
Republican: uWe learn from Mr. Jesse
Turner, deputy United States marshal,
the particulars attending the death of
Mr. John Sullivan, late section man at
Elm Tree station. Father Ryan, a
Roman Catholic priest, brought the fam
ily ot the deceased, consisting of Mrs.
Sullivan and five children, from Elm
Tree to Columbus. The house in which
Sullivan lived at Elm Tree has gained
an exceeding notoriety as the abode of
ill-luck, no less than five persons who
have boarded there within the past year
having met with untimely deaths. Mr.
Turner informs us that, considering these
circumstances, Father Ryan recommend
ed that the house be pulled down."
Columbus is doing just now a great
deal more for settlers than any other
small town in the state. Read what an
outside paper says: "It is reported that
the Platte river will be bridged this
season at Columbus. This will concern
the 'new Chicago incidentally, and we
should like to see the enterprise saoceed
because it will demonstrate a little prob
lem which some of our important towns
do not seem to understand. The build
ing of a bridge at Columbus will damage
Omaha in one or two years to aa amount
sufficient to bridge the Platte directly
oath of the latter city. Omaha looked
on ia blank amazeaaent while Nebraska
City was building up from- a patronage
which aught have been divided had the
Platte been bridged near its month, as
was talked of a' few years ago. Now that
Columbas has taken the lead, it is prob
able that Omaha will bridge too after
it is too late.

Land Commissioner Follmer has
reported to the board of educational
lands and funds that the $29,009 appro
priated by the last legislature to de
fray the expense of reappraising
school lands has increased the annual
rental of school lands by $89,865.13.
In addition to this, the value of
state lands, and its selling price, has
been nearly tripled. The old valuation
was $623,735.84 a ridiculously low
estimate, and the value as found by
the appraisers is $1,776,600.45 an
increase of $1,156,584.57. This in
crease is not confined to any section
of the state, but appears to be uni
form throughout. Commissioner Foll
mer explains that there may be in
stances in which injustice has been
done to tenants aad prospective pur
chasers by the new appraisement.
But he believes that in the main it
is correct and as nearly fair to all
as a work of that magnitude can well
be. Individual oases may be taken up
later by the commissioner and correct

annual volume of Miaeral Resources,

the progress made ia 1903 in all the
oil fields of the United States and
also of the year's developemeat in nil

in 1903 amounted to 185,151,069 barrels
Of this the United States and Russia
produced 91.44 percent For years

Heme Talent.
At the North opera hoase Friday
evening the comedy drsms, "A
Woman's Honor", was. presented by
local theatrical talent, sedated by H.
O. Porter. The inevitable shortcom
ings of amateur productions, though
aot entirely lacking, were reduced to
a minimum and expressions of approval
were unanimous. Aa ia asual in such
matters, the ladies were more at home
and displayed less tendency toward
nervousness and hurrying than the
gentlemen. However, it is putting
it modestly to say that the local mem
bers of the company rere fully as good,
as the trainer Mr. Porter had no Doubt
devoted more attention to the parts
of the other characters than, to hit
own, so to compliment them ia thv
interpretation of their parts is to give
credit also to Mr. Porter. There were
several scenes when n critio would
have found it dffloult to say whether
their performance was one of amateur
or of practiced exponents of the art,
As leading lady, Miss MoAllister had
the most prominent part and aha ac
quitted herself with the greatest cred
it. Her enunciation was distinct aad
not hurried, her stage presence per
fect, and her conception of the part
very natural and artistic. The play
is rather unfortunately arranged for
the leading characters, as it allows
her no variety of mood or-expression.
From beginning to end of the.play,
there is no ray of sunshine in the part
of the main character. A single scene
giving to her n period of oontent aad
cheerfulness would doubtless be ap
predated both by the. actress and au
dience. However, taking the part as
it was, Miss McAllister's rendition
was almost faultless. Miss Gregorius
and Mr. Hagel appeared always .to
sethet and were very evidently made
for each other.at least in stage matters.
Both parts were of the lighter order
and together with that of Mr. London
furnished the comedy part of the play.
To each of these three is due especial
credit for naturalness, composure and
lively character sketching. Miss Gre
gorius was equal to moreserious scene,
but was better in the lighter vein.
Mr. Hagel and Mr. London had no ser
ious moments. Mr. Hagel was good
whenever he appeared.and Mr. London
with his darkey dialect and darkey
walk can qualify in any vaudeville
show on the road. Mr.- Post played
his part consistently and with appre
ciation of the character. He was beet
in the last act. Mr. Osborn had the
unpopular part, that or" the heavy
villain whose proudest achievement
is to make the audience hate him.
His was probably the most difficult
part of the plan, but it was fustained
and realistic throughout. Mr. Osborn
was exceptionally good. Mr. Becher
had two parts, which is alway some
thing of a disadvantage. As Dr. Garcia
he was better than as Robert Glenn.
Maurico Whitmoyer appeared two or
three times in a juvenile part and was
very satisfactory.
The performance was liberally sup
ported, the receipt-' amounting to $100.
60. This is encouraging to the Com
pany K boys. They are deserving sup
port from the town people, especially
when they put on a show like the one
given Friday night.
Areer Day Preclaantiea.
The most sublime object in the veg
etable kingdom is n beautiful tree. It
commands our admiration not because
of its practical value alone, but be
cause it typefies Btunliness,persistence
and prograss. For many years, per
chance, it has defied the fury of the
winds, the rush of torrent, the ex
treme of summer heat and winter's
cold, ami it stands as if in conscious
pride of the vigorous battle with the
elements which it has fought aad
won. From the standpoint of senti
ment we can nil appreciate the thougnt
which n well known poet has express
ed in the following verse :
"Woodman, spare that tree,
Touch not a single bough ;
In youth it sheltered me,
And I'll protect it now.
'Twas my forefather's hand,
That placed it near my cot.
There, woodman, let it stand.
Thy ax shall harm it not."
It is n well known fact that our net
ural forests have been denuded until
serious climatic changes are tnreatea
ed. It is to correct this evil as well
as to encourage the systematic plant
ing of trees in n prairie country, to
embellish our public and private' pro
perties and to inculcate a love for both
the practical and senitmental features
of forestry that Arbor Day has been
established in nearly every state in
the Union. Nebraska takes more than
ordinary pride in the day because the
idea originated here and probably no
state has received so much benefit from
it
In harmony with time-honored
custom L John H.-Mickey, governor
of the' state of Nebraska, do hereby
appoint and set apart Friday, April
23, 1904, as Arbor Day and request
that the true spirit of forestry be ob
served ia our public schools by appro
priate exeroises aad the planting of
trees, aad that all societies aad indi
viduals assist in general recognition of
the day. JNO. H. MICKEY.

CityCotmcil
The meeting of the city council
Friday evening was one of the liveli
est and most interesting which' that
body has held for a long time. Three
matters of importaaoe' and of univer
sal interest to the citixens of Ceium
bus were discussed. A committee of
ladies from the Wosaaa'a club,
dames Gear. Briadley and
ampeared:helore the cenaeil aad
for aa syut spr lalloa to provide
age for Frankfort park, that the
------ , -1 - . . . , - 1 -
Woman's club might erect within the
park a driakiag fountain. The ladies
expeained thai the sewerage would
oat the city about $90 aad that the
fountain they would place in taw nark
weald cost aearly $190. The
wna rafensi to
pahlie ptopet ly.
efaosswasthe following
fatrodaoad by 43eABeimsj. .Gray:
" Whereas. It appears te the city eoun-
eil that the ordinance farhiadlag the

diag the fassping opaa of

be it resolved, that the police he in

to the Mao of $100 as provided by law.
Resolved farther that section 14 and
15 of the city ordiannoa relating to
druggists' permits be strictly enforced.
and permits Issued be revoked oa
non-oompUanoe with the law." The
mayor aad each member of the oaaaeil
spoke oa the resolution, each one de
claring himself unqualifiedly ia favor
of a strict and literal eaforcemeat of
the existing ordiamacas regulating
the liquoriraffln, aad the -resolatioa
was unanimously adopted. The third
and probably tlMauat important mat
ter considered was introduced by the
city attorney when he reported that
the case of the Union Paoiflo railroad
company vs. the City of Columbus
bad beea deeided by the court in favor
of the railroad oompaay aad
mended that the city appeal the
to the United States court of appeals.
This brought on a lively discussion
which was participated in' by mem
bers of the council and interested cit
izens. After the matter had been
thoroughly discussed, it was unan
imously ordered that the city attorney
be instructed to appeal the case to the
higher court.
The following matters were also
