rosd Company to fulfill certain contracts.
relative to depot. paving the L.ve.. etc /;
bat the gist Of the whole matter, it is
plsin to be seen, is, that LeaveLwo,th is
not made the terminus OF each road, COM
pelling the transfer Of al passengers and
frsieht;at Il at city. and making bresk
in the great through route from Northern
Ksnsss anl Southern Nebrs.ks to ST.
Loui'. Public meetings srs held almost
nightly. red.hot speeches are made. and
the City Council is instructed to repeal
the right Of wsy through the city. These
nsstings sometimes degenerate into mobs.
and the nen.ion Of Dsmes Of persons who

themselves. and no, TO damage the bus

iag bankrupt. Of dodging scout to avoid
creditors. and Of spiriting material ofthsir

On the other hand. the party siding
with the Railroad Company have, called
npon . member Of the, Company to be-
come a candidate for United States Sen
'stor. and are thus mixing up their dirty
business with polite. in such . manner
that will result in depriving Lesvenwo,tb
OF Senator or Congressman IN for st least
smother decade to coue.
As fsr % these matters affect only
Lssvenworth. people outside are not in
tsrested. They wish the citiz'ns Of Leav.
enworth success in securing good depot,
at convenient place. and in getting thcir
.Levee macsdsm;zed and rip-rapped
Bot when It comes to stopping trans

outside public are interested. snd do oh.
ject. 1t is q speculation that will not be
submitted to long. That is game that
has been tried BY various cities too often.
and has resulted only to their damagr.
If the crssy men Of Lesvenworth carry
through their scheme. they will force the
building Of railroad that will afford q
through line to St. Louis. avoiding them
altogether, snd that will neither yield
them any advantage as q connection. noI
benefit the trade Of the city. Tsey will

aged 30 years.
1t is hard - realize that we shall see Miss r..
no more in our mil,t We knew how sick she
had been, aui how little chance there WAS for
recovery, but We had hoped for restoration to
health.
She has been taken from US she, the only one
of her mother, and she a widow was taken,
and there was no one to stand by her side and
with word, restore the child to that desolate
mother. That mother, in her bereavement, has
oar sincere sympathy.
Miss HALL was born and brought mp in Per-
rvsburg. She had, at various times. resided IN
Vermont, Massachusetts, Texas aud Telnes SCI e
One year she taught music ut College llill, Gin
cinnaii. The next year was spent in Tennessee
in the employ of the Freetmen's Bureau.
Since her return from Tennessee a portion OF
her time WAS spent in Oberln, perfecting herself
in music. On her return she became teacher
in tue Sabbath School of the Presbyterian
Church, Of which she was u member, AMI by
vote of the school was male Assistant Supt.,
in which capacity she was exceedingly useful
every sunday leading the sehum ia singing
drilling the children AMI teaching them the
tunes. In all that she undertook she was sHgu
larly hearty and enthus iastic. Frank and open
by nature she naturally made friends. il.r
griefs, Whatever they were, lifted her upward
toward thai life for which God had designed j .r
and tO where lie has taken r. Her frien II wi II
see her here no more. But other friends
have returned her into other and peasanter
scenes.

The day was fine, and both old and young came
out to see the performances, and were richly re-

The recitations showed that the scholars had
not been idle, but were thoroughly acquainted
with their studies. The essays we're concise
and well worded, manifesting deep thought by
the composers.
The Heavenward March was hand somely
performed by Miss Clara Ames; Students Lay, !
'All is Quiet Little Nell,' &C., were much ad:
mired.
At the close much feeling was manifested by
the reading sof a tribute Of respect 10 the Prin-
cipal, Mr.. d. u, ,Albaugh, by Misses Ella King
and May Dever, and also the presentation OF a
beautiful gold pen by the same, to which Mr..
Albaugh responded rendering his thanks 10 the
donors, and giving some parting counsel Mr;
| ID. A. Avery made a very able speech. All
hearts were made glad On this day Of rejoicing.
The people Of Haskius are alive to the interests
