LINCOLN , Auguit 4. Lincolnitos
are greatly exorcised at present over
the prospect of having another rail-
reap into Lincoln , and have bce'n on
the nnxious-seat since < lay Gnuld paid
us a visit laet June. It is very ap
parent that , if the MinBjuri Pacific
railroad promised that for a reason
able amount of bonds voted by Lan
caster county they would make Lincoln
the initial point of their last and now
project , the bond would bo forthcom
ing. The idea is to get it road into
Lincoln that cannot be swallowed
down by the B. & M. railroad.
Next in' drder is the waterworks
question. You are undoubtedly nwaro
that wo voted down the question of
bonding the city for $75,000 to build
waterworks as an experiment. There
fore our business men have taken thu
subject matter in hand and are giving
it sober and serious consideration , ami
are disciiBsing several plans by which we
may secure n permanent supply of
water. One plan in ty bring it in
pipoa from thu Blue river at Milford.
Another plan , from the 1'latto river ,
Which would bet thu most fcafdblo has

Subscriptions lor the Grand Army

tions are that a great many , incluel-

Thofio wlio'lmvo c'liargtVHjiJftf inattci ;
here are very enthusiastic and are
sparing no time or pains which will
tend to make the reunion ft success.
Our now fountain on Government
square is gradually approaching com
pletion. There is nothing gaudy or
jlimsy about it , but on the contrary it
is a substantial looking piece of ma
sonry and when finished will bo an
ornament to the square. Superinten
dent Smith says hu intends that it will
stand for years. Well , itn looks verify
what ho says. We have been waiting
four yearn for this fountain and at
hist our patience is to bo rewarded.
The Pomological society mot yester
day afternoon at the Y. M. 0. A.
rooms and displayed some very line
fruit , illustrating the fact that just
as line fruit can bo raised
in Nebraska as in any other
state in the union , and why not ] We
were greatly surprised -to-soo so fine a
display , it being superior to tlio ox
bibitat our last state fair in that lino.
There were four'orfivo wagon loadr
of apples on our streets to-day , some
of which were raised in Nebraska and
aomo in Kaunas. It was very nice
fruit , the preference being in favor of
that raised in Nebraska , the fruit being -
ing larger and more perfect.
The contracts for furnishing gov
ernment coal were opened yesterday
and the award made to A. D. Mark-
all , his bid being the low
est , 813.08 per ton of 2,240
pounds , and just ono cunt below
the AVhitobrcast company. This is
hardly a criterion for ( ho consumers
of anthracite to go by , as to price ,
for the indications are , if wo read thu
signs of the time , aright , that coal
will reach 815 per ton at retail hero
before the season is over.
Lincoln merchants , as a general
thing , are much pleased at the pro
motion of our former townsman , Goo.
B , Harris , and wish him all the suc
cess imaginable in his new oflico of
general freight agent of the B , & M ,
Ho is worthy of tlio position ,
Tlio Democrat intimates that the

no money consideration is to bo given

such is the case wo have not been in
