well for him to remain oast of Alio Allogha
nios. But if ho is without family nntno, or
social prestige; if ho must win his spurs
himself; if ho can roly upon nothing but his
own industry, his own ability, and his own
manliness then by all moans lot him como
west. Ho will find an unbuttoned oaso in
manners, and what will seem to him a rather
loosely organized society but it will ques
tion him sharply, not as to what ho possesses,
or whoso son ho is ; but what ho can do, and
what ho can do for that particular com
munity, and what ho can do right away.
If ho can answer this question satisfactor
ily, his future is safe; safe in recognition,
and what is far more to the purpose, safe in
usefulness. Yery cordially yours,
James H. Oanfikld.

There has been considerable comment in
local papers about tho Lincoln school coal

on his Peerless coal. This coal has been
tested and found equal to RoclcSprings, and
only costs 6.00 per ton. Buy some of

Tho musoum of the Stato Univorsity has
just rocoivod a uniquo and interesting fossil,
recently collcctod in tho Sioux County Bad
Lands by Dr. H. M. Evorott of this city.
As tho train hurried around tho curves and
through tho cuts in this region of wonders,
tho doctor's trained oyo sighted bonos in tho
bank.
Returning noxt day, tho accommodating
trainmen wore prevailed upon to stop a mo
ment at this spot. Tho enthusiastic doctor,
armed with no bettor 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 tho cow-catcher, soon worked out
a fossil which was carried to Lincoln and de
livered to tho Stato Univorsity in safety. It
proves to bo tho skull and bones of tho
Oreodon major, a sort of deer-like hog, or
hog-liko deer, which, in better days, roved
in groat herds over Northwestern Nebraska.
It will bo remembered that tho donations
of Dr. Everett, and those of tho Hon.
Charles H. Morrill aro the most liberal of all
tho many generous contributions to tho cabi
nets of tho Stato Museum.
Mr. Isaac Pollard, of Nehawka, who has
long been a firm friend to tho Stato Univer
sity, did tho University additional service
lately by collecting largo and choico fossils,
fossiliferous limestones, clays, etc., from his
vicinity, and shipping them, freight and all
other expenses prepaid, to tho Musoum.
There wore three or four heavy boxes of ex
cellent material. On Mr. Pollard's exten
sive possessions, occur not only excellent
limo stone, but also a fine deposit of clay
which is being shipped and used oxtonsivoly
for paving brick in Omaha and' elsewhere.
Dr. Ward, professor of zoology in tho
Stato University, brings with him several
collections which ho has turned over to tho
Musoum, greatly to tho interest and advance
ment of students and others interested in
natural history. Ono set represents tho
