well for him to remain east of Alio Allegha
nies. But if he is without family name, or
social prestige; if he must win his spurs
himself; if he can rely upon nothing but his
own industry, his own ability, and his own
manliness then by all moans lot him come
west. He will find an unbuttoned ease in
manners, and what will seem to him a rather
loosely organized society but it will ques
tion him sharply, not as to what he possesses,
or whose son he is; but what he can do, and
what he can do for that particular com
munity, and what he can do right away.
If he can answer this question satisfactor
ily, his future is safe; safe in recognition,
and what is far more to the purpose, safe in
usefulness. Very cordially yours,
James H. Oanfield.

There has been considerable comment in
local papers about the Lincoln school coal
contract, which was let to Ohas. B. Gregory
on his Peerless coal. This coal has been
tested and found equal to Rock'Springs, and
only costs $6.00 per ton. Buy some of

The museum of the State University has
just received a unique and interesting fossil,
recently collected in the Sioux County Bad
Lands by Dr. H. JM. Everett of this city.
As the train hurried around the cv rves and
through the cuts in this region of wonders,
the doctor's trained eye sighted bones in the
bank.
Returning next day, the accommodating
trainmen were prevailed upon to stop a mo
ment at this spot. The enthusiastic doctor,
armed with no better tools than a co.upling
pin and a chunk of coal, in lieu of geological
picks and hammers,, and with nothing to dig
with save the cow-catcher, soon worked out
a fossil which was carried to Lincoln and de
livered to the State University in safety. It
proves to be the skull and bones of the
Oreodon major, a sort of deer-like hog, or
hog-like deer, which, in hotter days, roved
in great herds over Northwestern Nebraska.
It will be remembered that the donations
of Dr. Everett, and those of the Hon.
Charles H. Morrill are the most liberal of all
the many generous contributions to the cabi
nets of the State Museum.
Mr. Isaac Pollard, of Nehawka, who has
long been a firm friend to the State Univer
sity, did the University additional service
lately by collecting large and choice fossils,
fossiliferous limestones, clays, etc., from his
vicinity, and shipping them, freight and all
other expenses prepaid, to tljo Museum.
There wore throe or four heavy boxes of ex
cellent material. On Mr. Pollard's exten
sive possessions, occur not only excellent
lime stone, but also a fine deposit of clay
which is being shipped and used extensively
for paving brick in Omaha and' olsewhere.
