MR.. EDITOR:
You would be surprised at the
growth of this young and e~nterpris-
ing town. 1t is situated on the line
of the U. p. railroad, fifteen miles
from Omaha, in Sarpy county. Her
Improvements are substantial /; her
business capacities rapidly increasing,
and many branches of industries are
in successful operation. Property is
exchanging hands; a business lot re-
Gently commanded five hundred dol
lars. Kennedy & Co. are carrying a
large stock of general merchandise,
also A. b. Saunders. David Leach
has opened a hardware store, and will
carry a stock to meet any emergency.
Mr.. Pomeroy, of your city, the lum-
Der merchant, has an extensive lum-
Der interest here, and his business
rapidly increasing. He is also break
ing ground for the erection of anoth>
er business house. Pomeroy & Ken
nedy are largely interested in the
stock trade, and are about charging
their already commodius stock yard I;
they have just shipped, to sacramen>
to, California, several car loads of
hogs. ID. S. Carpenter has opened a
select family grocery store with fiat
tering prospects. Lane & Campbell
have erected a cOmmodius blacksmith
shop, and their best ability is tested
to meet the demands of their increas,
ing custom. The Willard Bros.
bankers of your city, have two grain
houses, and invest largely in the O
reals at this point.
A. b. Andrews, formerly ofDunlap,
Iowa, and an old grain man, has loca.
ted permanently here, and is buying
heavily and is shipping n large
amount Of grain. Ee has shipped
thirty car loads of wheat and barley,
and several car loads of potatoes,
the short time he has been here.
There is an active interest In a build
ing direction. DIR. Nye has nearly
completed his neat residence. Mr..
Eisele, the genial host and proprietor
of the "SarPy House." finds his ca,
pacity for accommodation limited.
which necessitates an enlargement of
his hotel, which will be effected at an
early day. DR.. Beadle intends erect.
ing another fine residence, and Mr.;
Saunders has already laid the foun-
dation for the erection of a two story
stone store. They have . successful
agricultural organization in this
county, which has been in active OBJ
Grafton these two years in which
time they have held two fairs at this
point, each a c Fine and CON-
mOdious grounds have been secured

lT is to be hoped no person will al.
low his name to be used rs q candi-
date for the Board of Education who
has not ample time to devote to the
very important business which re-
quires the attention of every member
Of the Board. In the past year ex,
p~erisnce has demonstrated that not
more than one-half of the members
take any decided interest in the de-
tails Of school management. A num-
Der OF these gentlemen have been
habitually absent. Now let us have
no more such negligence. If any
member who holds over, finds his
time too precious to be devoted to
his duty on the Board, he Will confer
q blessing upon the youth Of our city
II he resigns now, and gives the pso-
pie an opportunity to elect somebody
who can devote more time to this SER
vice at the city election.

THE recognized board of Universi-
ty Regents meet for the first time, at
the State Capital, to-day. The ses-
sion will probably be protracted be-
You'd the ordinary length of time, in
order to afford the new members an
opportunity to acquaint themselves
with the business routine NJ
we'll NJ the condition OF
the institution, past and present. 1t
Is to be hoped, that among the first
steps taken by the new board, will be
the appointment Of a competent arch.
itect to carefully inspect the
University building, and report
what, IL any steps are
necessary TO secur, the structure from
premature destruction or decay. II
there Is the slightest liability of the
caving In Of the foundation or any
portion thereof, immediate steps
should be taken to replace them with
substantial material. In the matter
OF the finances, it will also he judici-
GUS to adopt some kind of reform in
order to guard eiectually against all
liability Of losses from failure of banks
or otherwise. Wehave never been able
to.understand why the Regents should
maintain a Especial treasurer for the
safe keeping Of the university funds.
II, however, such q supernumary Of
fetal must be supported at the ex.
pense Of the school fund, at all haz.
ards, let Us know at least that he will
not manipulate the funds for private
speculation or run any risks of los.
ing 1t altogether.

SENATOR MoRTON's resolution de-

will be finally disposed of to-day or
tomorrow. Caldwell's most energet-
ic hackers in this instance are his col.

The railroad war in California is
waxing hotter every day. Last Tues-
day the locrl election at Sacramento
was fought entirely upon this issue.
The San Francisco ChOnich says in
this connection:
"All higher questions were forgot,

were substantially ignored. 1t was
bitter hand-tO-haDd combat between
the Uaio~ newspaper and the Central

we believe, in American politics, the

they belonged. Governor Stanford

Ir is to be hoped the chronic grum-

which are to come Off in this city

send honest and capable men to the
City Council, they must make a per-
