BOARD OF TRANSPORTATION ,
Only a Short Time Before the Railway
Oommission Loses Its Title.
BUT NOT ITS WORTHLESSNESS.

\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.

PAVING THE SECOND DISTUICT.
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.

One ot tbo British Indian secretaries oi

His father , Sindlah , hod collected $35-

with a brass plate , stating tbo contents
and by whom deposited.
It is thought that Slndlah's object m

Yesterday afternoon a > very unfortu

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

AMUSEMENTS.
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.

laughter and applause. The amount re

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

Orchard Enemies.
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 ,

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.
