Ex-Governor Mickey Improves.
Former Governor John H. Mickey has
shown an unexpected improvement In
health during the last six weeks, so that
he is now able to be out and around on
bis farm near Osceola. During the most
of the winter Mr. Mickey was confined to
his bed with arterial sclerosis, a malady
which extends Itself by slow stsges through
the hardening of the blood channels and
finally causes stoppage of the main organ
of circulation. Little hope was held out
for bis return to activity, but the ex-governor
Is now on the road back to health
and strength. He lias been out of bed for
a week or ten days and is taking dally
walks and rides, but Is not attending to the
details of farm work or attempting to su
pervise them. .

Renewing- Old Water Itluhtx.
Arnold Koenlg of Omaha has filed two
applications with the State Board of Irri
gation for water from the Niobrara rivor
Cor irrigation and power purposes. The
filings are for the purpose of renewing
rights acquired by Mr. Koenlg several
years ago, but which have probably lapsed
because no attempt was made to construct
the proposed works. Mr.' Koenlg has two
projects in view, one an Irrigation and
power canal, called the Niobrara canal,
and the other the Central Klectric Power
station. The latter is to cost $275,000 and
the former 1150.010. Jt Is the Intention to
hulld the plants near the town of Nio
brara. .1.' II. Fdmlnten In Lincoln.
J. Harley Kdmisten, whose $10,000 ball
bond was forfeited In 1'nlted States court
three weeks no by reason of tils non
appearance for trial on charges connected
with alleged land frauds, has returned to
Lincoln and Is now at his home, 821 South
Fourteenth. He returned from Florida ten
days ago, but the fact of hi arrival has
been kept qultt until the present time.
Flmisten Is reported to be very ill and
on the verge of nervous prostration. This
statement came from his physician, Dr.
Fred Eiche. A member of the , household,
answering a telephone call, said that Kd
misten was too sick to be seen by anyone,
and , tho physician confirmed that asser
tion. One thing which had something to do
with bringing Kdmisten back to Nebraska
before his physician wss ready to have
him come Is understood to be the dis
quietude of the bondsmen. Kdmislen's
friends credit him with anxiety to save
his bailor any unnecessary worry by re
turning to the jurisdiction of the court
where bis trial is to be held.
Rrqaest for Depot.
People at the town of eUorgia. between
Valentine and Cody, today petitioned the
railway commission to require the North
western railroad to maintain a station, tele
graph operator and agent at that town.
The Cnlon Pacific Railroad company has
tiled an answer to Hie complaint of Krnrst
It. Webb, who desires the roaii to keep
its depot open at Odessa. The company
admits that the depot has not been kept
open for business more' than one year
during the last ten years, and says no
complaint lias been entered until now.
