VK& 6S SBJL BEE * . SUNDAY. 20. ias7.- BOARD OF TRANSPORTATION , Only a Short Time Before the Railway Oommission Loses Its Title. BUT NOT ITS WORTHLESSNESS. Lancaster County's Uommlsslnncrs Offer n Ilcwnrd For Cjiilnn Bo- hnnan Second District 1'avlng * Capital News , \VRO\l \ Till' Jir.K'S LINCOLN' On the 1st of July the new law comes into force that changes the old railroad commissioner system into what will bo known as a board of transportation , which will bo , llku the commission , an evasion and farce insofar as controlling corporations and affording relief to the people. Ills simply n case llko a rose by any other name smelling as sweet , and Iho change made by tlio legislature leaves the law with the scent of the inoperative , expensive , farcical and utterly useless commisMon still upon its garments. Under the change in the law live instead of three state ollicers comprise the board , the land commis > loner and state treas urer being added to the old board that consisted of the auditor , secretary of state and attorney general. The number of secretaries to the board remains the same : three in number , with the excep tion that OHO of them now must bo a dem ocrat. These three secretaries will be ap pointed prior to July 1 , it taking the votes of four of the live members of the board to elect any one of the secretaries. In the .select on of those secretaries it is generally understood that .Iiulgo Mason nrnl Mr. Ager will bo retained as the republican members , and that Mr. Bus- chow will quietly retire to make room for the democratic member. Who the democrat will be is yet an unknown ques tion , there being a number of applicants , but among those more likelv to bo selected might bo mentioned W. H. Mun- gcr , of Fremont , Colonel Webster , of Central City , and Beach J. Ilinman , of North 1'latte , and it is fairly safe to state that it will bo some ono of the three. Mr. Munger is not an applicant for tlio position , but is understood that ho would accent if selected , ami one of the board , Attorney General Luese , has expressed himself as in favor of the man from Fre mont. Doth tl.o other parties mentioned have good endorsements that have been made to different members of the board. A ItKWAItl ) I'OIl BOIIANAN. The county commissioners yesterday , after twenty-four hours' inexcusable delay , awoke to the fact that Lancaster county was under some obligations to attempt to recover Qulnn iiohanan and oll'ered a reward of $500 for his appro- Bcnsion and return to confinement. A great many citi/.ens , including the gov ernor and attorney general , expressed opinions freely that the county ought to move in the matter speedily , but it took twenty-four hours for the commissioners to gather themselves together suIHciont to act in the promises. Governor Tliaycr would have offered a reward on behalf of the state had the law permitted , but the section covering cases of that kind ex pressly provides that re wards shall bo of fered for persons who escape prior to conviction and who are to bo returned for trial and sentence. The same ques tion arose during the administration of Governor Duwcs in the Zimmerman case and no reward was offered on the part of the etato at that time owing to the word ing of the law. At THE STATE HOUSE. Articles incorporating the Fawnco county creamery were tiled with the sec retary of state yesterday. The capital Block is $5,000 , in shares of $100 each , Iho indebtedness being limited to f 3.000 , the amount of stock to bo subscribed before commencing business , $4,000 ; business to commence June 15 , 1837 , and to con tinue twenty years.

An order has also been made for the sale of school lauds in Garflolrt county , on July 35 , at the town of Willow Springs. These orders were made nt the last meeting of the board of educational lands and funds.

The city council , that has been waiting on the kickers for a month over the ques tion of material to bo used in the second paving district , met Friday in special ses sion and ended the foolishness by letting the contract for a cedar block pavement to correspond with the first district. The property holders in this district declared n month ago by a three-fourths majority in favor of blocks , and of late every effort has been used to upset this expression. In the meantime valuable time that ought to , every day of it , been used in getting the city out of the mud , has gene to waste , and the impression was gaining ground that the talk of extensive paving was a bin IV and a boom racket , and that the year would pass with nothing done , In putting a stop to this uncertainty thai was a direct disadvantage to the city , the council has donn the proper Ining in the eyes of thousands of property holders ir Lincoln who voted the bonds for paving and are not directly interested in tin warfare that has boon fomented since blocks were decided upon. "What the city wants is paving , " said a prominent citizen yesterday entirely outside ihi warring district , "and the council hai waited long enough. It has got to such a pass. " continued this citizen , "that the ouncil might wait five years , and there would still bo warfare. " Yesterday then was talk of injunctions to prevent carry ing out the contract awarded by tin council , but such proceedings are danger ous ih the present progress of Lincoln. roLiCK OOUKT.

One ot tbo British Indian secretaries oi state lately visited Gwatior for the pur pose of receiving $15,000,000 which the government boa offered to "borrow" of that province during the minority of the young Rajah. His father , Sindlah , hod collected $35- 000,000 in jewels and rupees , in vaults under his zcnomacach vault boingclosed with a brass plate , stating tbo contents and by whom deposited. It is thought that Slndlah's object m depriving himself of the income , and keeping bis own bank account , was to have Urn his pocket in case any uprising rendered it advisable to have a big army on abort notice. Tbe Indians all con template tbe imminent possibility of such a thing , and regard the Britisk rule as something temporary. LOST HIS Another Victim Kalla Hene.ith the Deadly Oars. Yesterday afternoon a > very unfortu nate accident happened on the Union Panilic track near Eleventh street. A man named P. J. O'Connor , in attempt- ng to board a freight car was run over ho right foot being almost severed from lie limb , only the flesh keeping the in ured part from falling off. Ho was car ried to St. Joseph's hospital where he v/as tenderly cared for bv the sisters , whoso treatment of his limb saved the victim from dying from loss of blood until the surgeons' arrived. Dr. Galbraith - braith , the Union Pacific sur geon was first called. Ho was later attended by his assistants , Dra. Hoffman and Carpenter. The limb was amuutatod and the work was done in a most skillful manner and with as little pain to the victim as possible. O'Connor hadbecn working at Blair , off and on for three years , and bad on his ixTion a recommendation from his late employer in Blair. His homo is in Module , la. , where ho has a wife and two children. These were the last people in his mind immediately before the operation. A KltAOTUKE.

Tlio .Production Ijiwt Might of the 'Pearl of Savoy. " A fairly largo and ccrtanly ! a very ap preciative audience greeted tlio produc tion of "The Pearl of Savoy" nt the Boyd last night , for "sweet charity's sake , " by the Boyd dramatic company. The per formance was a very creditable ono from beginning to end , and great credit is dun to thu entire company for their in dividual ellorts put forth to make the presentation so successful. Mrs. W. E. Rockwell , in the role of Marie ( the Pearl of Savoy ) , evinced tal ent of an unusual character , and she was moro than once recalled. She possesses a most attractive stage presence and acts with a studious conscientiousness which always makes her presence agreeable. She made an excellent Marie and was universally appreciated. Miss Anna Boguo , as Chanchau , en acted her part with a sweet naivety , which proved perfectly charming. Her noting , while requiring considerable cul tivation , had u freshness and vivacity about it that was quite captivating. Mr. Joseph Murphy as Arthur , proved himself an actor of no mean order. Ho lias a splendid voice and good stage presence. Ho had evidently studied bis lines well , and took with tbe audience from bis tirst appearance on the ft age. "Tho Pierrot'1 of Mr. Geo. Ostrom and the "Commander" of Mr. J. C. Palmer were well received as wore all the re maining characters , and ) t is safe to say the representation of "Tbo Pearl of Savoy" at tbo Bojd last night was a bril liant success. success.PEOPLE'S THEATKE. Last evening a performance was given by the "Peek's Bad Boy" company at this theatre for the benefit of the paint ers who are at present out on a strike. A largo audience assembled and evinced their appreciation of the efforts of the several actors engaged by continuous laughter and applause. The amount re alized cannot bo accurately ascertained until an account of the tickets sold is rendered by the painters , but it is calcu lated that the receipts will amount to over f350. Of this sum the painters re ceive 80 per cent. Another benefit per formance to the same benficlaries will bo given to-night , and probably a third on Monday evening , when tbo painters will receive one-half the profits. UETZ ( URUKN.

Correspondence Fanners' Review : Wo hoar it remarked frequently that the myriads of fruit , plant and vegetable de vouring insects with which we must con tend to secure even a portion of cither is enough to discourage those engaged in their production. From this dcspondanl view I dissent , as we have found by the aid of science a remedy for such difiicul- tics in each case as fast as they are pre sented , and usually the means are sim ple ; indeed the mum remedies being a persistence in the application of the means of extermination. It some times takes a number of seasons to sull'crini , ' , and the expounding , "lino upon line , " to awaken some to the fact Unit there is % remedy , and tlio real ne cessity of thorough uso. Having from childhood been tlio watchful guardian oi plant life in and out doors. 1 confess to A blood-thlrtmoss for the destruction of all sucli pests and a propensity to destroy them , so when our learned scientists show us a way I make haste in its prac tice. Wormy apples have been u "thorn in the llesh" with us as with every orchardist we know for years. We have kept the swine in the orchard from the lirst fulling of green apples and until they were fattened , have plowed , planted , seeded by turns , with no perceptible diminution of the enoniy .which forestalled us in the possession of spy and bald win , and all other delights of this orchard , until disgust took the place of appetite for apples. Last spring the remedy proposed by , I think , Prof. Cook , to spray the trees with London purple or Paris green , was in this wise : If only one spraying can bo attended to , lot it bo when apples nro the bi/.e of peas , but if two , which is bettor , let tlio lirst bo done when the flowers fade. Wo sprayed at the time when the fruit was the size of peas , and no larger , and it was emphatically the thing. The yield was immense , of coed sound fruit , and bushels of apples with never a worm. It seemed miraculous. I advise every one who owns nn apulo true to spray it with a solution of Paris green. This spraying comes at a busy season , but it is n , iob that can bu hurried through , and 800 to 400 trees can be done in a dav with water handy. I-think the best guide tor strength of solution is the color of it , and should bo only n palo green , as no doubt if too strong the foliage and likely the fruit will bo blackened , or as If scorched , and enough is Just enough. Wo put n quantity in u pail and half filled , it with water , and dipped from that into the tnb wo pumped from. As 1 have made this so long I will defer the "doctoring" the aphis of the cherry tree , apple trco and currant baric meccts until another time , or until requested , as that may have been well tried away from this vicinity. AVI Hews for Fenoo Posts- Exchange : The fence-post question is one of much importance to the Amoiican farmer , owing to dilliculty of procuring sultublo wood for the purpose. A cor respondent of an exchange advocates the use of willows for this purpose , tlio trmts being readily obtained lor trans planting and easily grown. Ho says : "It is frequently recommended to plant trees along tuo line of the fences , that when the trees have attained suf ficient si/.o their trunks may bu used na posts. Thus live posts that will not rot are had , already securely set , at the cost of setting out the trr.os only , lint to this tbure is the objection that the swaying of the trees loosens tlio nails holding the boards or the staples f &ten- ing the wirns , whether the nails or staples are driven into the tree or into H piece of timber fastened to the tree. Ono of our Western subscribers has dibcovurod that when the willow is planted this objection is avoided , for tlio top of the willow can. be kept cut down so closely that the trunk will bo swayed little , if any. The trco should not bo used n a post until thu trunk obtained a diameter of bix incites a foot from thu ground ; nnd even when it has reached this size , the tree mav bo cut oft' live foot from the ground , making u post of the desired height , without killing the tree. Such cutting off would bo fatal to any other trco that could bo used for tula purpose ; but the willow will send out n thick bunch of shoots , which will soon become respectable branches and may bo cut oil in their turn. Thus we may have a thick , stocky trunk live fcot high , with so Jittlo top that the wind will not loosen the nails or staples. The branches cut off make good bean-poles , or the summer fire-wood par ex cellence. They cut very easily when green , dry out rapidly , and when dry make a quick , hot fire that dies down at once just the lire the housewife wishes during the summer. Other points in favor of the willow for live Icncc-posU are the uaso with which it can bo got to grow anil the rapidity of its growth. If slips uro stuck into the ground in the spring , when the ground i * moist , they will at once root and grow. Where fcnco posts arc scarce this use cf the willou can bu confidently recommended ; am likely it will pay to so usu the willow oven where post are cheap. Tim willow is slow to die und will make a firm PCS for many s'oars. Rnllroad Reorganization. PiTTsnuno , June 2.5.
