Mr. Maine of Maryland, gave as a
pleasant call last week. If pleased with
Nebraska, and can salt himself ia bad
ess prospects, he will make this state
his fu.ure home. Judging from our
brief acquaintance with him we extend
him a hearty welcome.
We understand that Mr. S. L. Barrett
of this place passed the best examination
at Grand Island, last Saturday, pursuant
to application for priacipel of the Grand
Island schools. This speaks well for
him. as there were four competitors for
the situation. But, through some hocus
pocus, another teacher secured the posi
tion. The conduct of some of the citi
zens of Grand Island in this matter is
certainly far from honorable.
From Mr; P. B. Bonestoel, who return
ed from the east a few days ago, we learn
that many people of Canada have turns d
their eyes in the direction of Nebraska.
There are a goodly number of Canadisus
here now, and there is slways room for
more of the sort room and a hearty
welcome. The past winter was unusu
ally severe in the east, making many
long for a milder climate. Nebraska is
not always mild, but she is of teaer and
more uniformly eothanlasy other state
we know.
And bow comes Prof. Aughey, of the
Nebraska 8tate University, and says
that he hss found a very excellent qual
ity of coal, and an abundance of it ia
Richardson county, this state, and about
one-fourth of a mile from the liae of the
Atchison & Nebraska B, B, It seems
that "a drift was made in the aide of the
bluff, starting about four feet above the
bed of a small rivulet. At the entrsaee
the coal was only about three inches
thick. Ten feet in the bank the coal
thickened to ten and twelve Inches."

The Platte Center Signal of last issue
gives the foUowingsad news: "A gloom
of melancholy sadness was east over this

announced in our lsstissac,tao telegraph
wiresonlsst Friday morning brought
the unwelcome aad startling news that
Mrs. Mahoaey died on Thursday. March
14, 1907, at her home near Lund, South
Dakota. No particulars were given in
the telegram, aad it remsiaed for the
people here to learn from the lips of the
sorrowfull husband and sister that Mrs.
Mahoaey was a victim of quick consump
tion, while the immediate cause' of her
death was heart failure. She had been
ailing for some months and seemed to be
sMictsd with a stubborn cold when
visiting here last Christmas. Upon her
return to South Dakota her trouble did
act yield to medical treatment bat no
thought of the grim rasper haunted the
of her loved ones and friends un
til on Thursday morning of tost weak

A gang of Union Pacifio fence men
barely escaped being hurled into eter
nity Thursday morning when passenger
train No. 4 crashed into two hand ears
on the track about half a mile west' of
the coal chutes. The men were running
out to their work, building fence west to
the bridge when the accident happened.
The foreman caused his men to stop and
leave the hand-ears, because he was
aware that it was about time for the
traia, aad besides the morning was
foggy. A flagman was sent out for pro
tection but was. unable to flag the engi-
and when the crash came the rear
ear was knocked into splinters and the
second one lodged upon the engine pilot
aad was carried to the depot. Had the
been on their cars it would hsve
a miracle had any one been able to
have lived told how it occurred.
The Columbus correspondent to the
Omaha Bee got his wires slightly crossed
in tost Sunday's issue of that paper. He
reported that the first case of boots
ever shipped from Columbus to Omaha
was made last week. yThe item referred
to was taken from the Many Tears Ago
colama of our last issue. The cor
respondent should be more careful about
giving proper credit, besides we will
have to await the establishment ot the
power caaal before many real leather
boots can be shipped from here to the

was indebted to the city for his keeping:
He declared that he was ia the habit of

ing the cost of femigsting the jail, and
had a little money left. He then got a

ysrds received 64 cars.of lumber during
the year. Thirty-seven ears of coal were
Lconsunwdby the people of this looslity.
Of implements, briokr-steoe, csmeut,

elevators shipped, 175 can of corn, 49
cars of wheat. 80 cars of oats and 3 cars
of barley. D.D.. Roberts shipped 110
cars of hogs and 11 cars of cattle, while
his competitors, including the individual

An accident whioh is liable to prove
fatal happened to Leo Starosiks, eight
year old son of Geo. Starostka at their
home on the Island Wednesday after
noon. It seems that Leo went home
from school in the evening and going to
the granary attempted to take a 23 rifle
from its resting place on the wall. In
some manner, it was discharged and the
bullet entered the right, side of bis head
just below the temple. The boy went to
the house where the nature of his wound
wss discovered by his mother. He was
brought to town and Dr. Robinson prob
ed for the ball, bnt wss unable to locate
it, and as he was unable to work on the
case on account of sickness at his home
he advised the boys removal to the
hospital at Cclumbus. He wss taken
there Thursdsy morning where every
effort is being made to save his life."

was put in print we hsve been informed
by offioiab at the hospital that the boys
conditition is not much improved though
have hopes for his recovery.
This ia the way the Fullerton News
Journal has figured out how much sin
and vice there exist through the neglect
of parents in proper attention to young
children. "We often wonder why it is
so many young men can be loafing upon
our streets until a late hour of the night.
Many ot them are from our best homes
The fathers of these.young men, many
of them at least, are numbered among
our best citizens. If their cow or their
hone or even their favorite dog was
away from home after dsrk they would
be out on a search, but their own child
ren can roam the town all night with ap
pareaUy no effort being made to fled
them. Tke boys seemed to be turned
loose st a tender age to wander at will
into the paths of sm aad vice and then
we wonder where all our tramps snd
worthless specimens of humanity come
from. Itisa regretable fact that too
many of them come from seed germinaV
ed hi good homes snd then sown inn
careless mannsr upon our streets aad
back alleys. Beder, ia your boy waist
iug his time upon bur streets? If so,
should you not, at least, look after him
as oarefally at nightfall aa you would
your horse and cow? We do not Ulti
mate that this evil exists to a greater ex
teatia this community than in our sister
towns but the evil seems universal aad
iaciBssss in magnitude, as the years roll
by.
