Nice Bureaus, cheap, at Roy's.

We had the pleasure OF meeting
Hon. J. G. Lincoln. of Salem, in the
city on Monday of this week. He in
formed US that the Nebraska Railway
lacks only about three miles of being
entirely finished to Salem. Notwfth-
standing the efforts that have been
made to change the line of the road
to a more direct route to Falls City,
there has been no variation from the di-
rect line to Salem, and Mr.. Lincoln
does not entertain the idea that DIR.
Converse intends to turn the road to
Falls City, and make that place its
present terminus, as has been said 10y
Falls City people would be the case if
the bonds favorable to the latt5r place
should be voted. The work, while
that election was pending, was not
suspended to await Its result, but went
steadily forward toward Salem, which
Cured should that route now be aban-
doned. Not only that, but every bond
voted for the Salem route would be
forfeited and lost to the company. The
points to which the road was to run,
named and stipulated as conditions
upon which bonds were voted to the
Salem fonte. takes the road on south
beyond Salem. precIuding she posi-:
bility of touching Falls City and
any variation from this agreed upon
line will forfeit the bonds.
It has been said by the Falls City
papers that DR.. Converse, in case Falls
City occurred to him the requisite
amount of subsidy, would run his
road to the A. & n. road opposite Sa-
lem. then. without touching the A. &
n. run down along side and make the
junction with that road at Falls City.
This imaginary plan Is laughed at by
the Salem people as impracticable and
absurd. They think that DR.. Con-
verse would hardly run his road IN
such a roundabout way unless very
sure he would be well paid for it. He
would scarcely dc such thing-thus
"whipping the devil around the
stump''-hoping TO receive a double
portion of subsidy, but knowing that
he was violating the conditions upon
which bonds were voted, and liable to
lose more than he would gain. Mr..
Lincoln says if this course is under
taken, or any other Ione Inreasonably
violating the conditions upon which
the people of Salem voted the bonds,
their issuance will be stubbornly re-
sisted. Mr.. Lincoln. however, thinks
the road will be completed, and at as
early a day as possible, upon the reg
ular Salem route, and that there will
be no trouble or law suits about it.
DR.. Converse is now making every
effort to procure the iron for the road
1t was thought that the iron was al
secured through the Missouri Pacific
but the recent failure and bankruptcy
of that company made its credit
worthless, and the DR.. was disap
pointed and had to seek better back
ing. What success he has met with
or is likely to meet with, is unknown
to us.

Some of our subscribers are paying
up the old score, and renewing by
paying year in advance. We hope
that this good and pleasant work will
go on until all can say, II owe the
printer nothing"
In adopting the advance payment
system, we have concluded to reduce
the price of THE ADVERTISER to 81 so
a year, so thst none can have the ex-
cuse of taking an eastern paper in
stead of their home paper, because an
eastern. paper can be had so much
cheaper. In exacting advance pay
ment at this reduced rate. we ask
nothing unreasonable of our friends
and patrons. They cannot get an
eastern paper without pay in advance.
and We certainly cannot understand
why their home paper. which uses its
direct and special influence to advance
their prosperity. should be treated
with less liberality and respect than
an eastern paper which is not at all
interested In either the veal or woe
of our people and county.
Now, remember that we have no
other terms for our paper-no two
dollars at the end of the year, nor
anything of that kind; our only
terms by the year is 81 so in advance
Believing that this new order of
things Will meet with the hearty ap-
probation of all our old and new SUBJ
scribers, we invite them to call and
see US, and pay up old arrears. if they
owe any, and $3.50 for the year to
come

There was an elopement exkaor-
binary occurred here on Tuesday.
Master Frank Cogswell. son of A. P,
aged about IL years, and little Minnie
Bear, daughter of ]. X. Bear. aged 8,
who lives with Mr.. .Cogswell, conclu-
ded to strike.out for themselves. and
on Tuesday morning instead of going
to school the left the city afoot. Their
departure was not discovered until in
the afternoon, when GMr. Cogswell
tried To hunt up the runaways with
out satisfactory RESULT, nobody hav.
ing the least idea what had become of
them. But the mystery was solved
before night. Mr.. Hairless, who runs
the daily mail hack between this city
and st. Deroin. when on his return
trip toward the latter place, just this
side of Aspinwall, about 8 o'clock p.
M, overlook the elOpers, and asked
them to ride, and his kind invitation
was accepted. He, not knowing who
they were, enquired, and was told
promptly that they were brother and
sister, that their name was Weir, that
their parents were dead, and that they
were going to Aspinwall. but when
asked why they were going to Aspin-
wall they were at loss to tell. This
was enquiring further into their ar
rangements than they.had anticipated
and Mr.. Hairless suspected that they
were deceiving him. At Aspinwall
he let them out of his wagon, and re-
quested Mr.. Woodward to enquire in
TO the matter. This Mr.. w. did, but
could elicit nothing satisfactory from
them. But Mr.. SeemGn of this city
happening to be at Aspinwall learn
ing of the matter. soon found them to
be Mr.. Cogswell's children, and TAX
ing them 10 his buggy brought them
back TO this city.
Why they ran away, or what their
aim was, if they had any, or where
they intended their destination 10 be,
was not ascertained. 1t was certainly
a case of most extraordinary precos
ty to say the least of it.
