There is some opposition to the
proposed Temperance Jubilee on
the 4th of July, and the idea Of
holding it at that time Will probably
be abandoned. As soon as the whole
county has been thoroughly can
yassed, and every township has its
Murphy organization, there ought to
be a grand Jubilee here at the coun
ty seat.

IA croundless charee.

We recently saw a paragraph in
an exchange, complaining that the
Secretary of the Interior had dis
charged a number of female clerks
on the score of economy, alleging
that there was not sufficient work
for them, and Immediately after
wards employed q number of male
clerks at higher salaries. Thinking
there must be some mistake about
the matter, we wrote to the Secreta-
ry for the facts, and received a reply,
that the statement was not true.
The facts are, as stated by the Sec
retary, that "a number of lady clerks
employed in copying acork we're dis
charged upon the ground that there
was not sufficient work for them,
and a smaller number of clerks were
afterwards appointed, to be employ
ed in the examination of claims, for
which duties the ladies previously
discharged were not fitted"
This explanation of course puts an
entirely different face upon the mat
ter, and entirely ezonerates Secreta-
ry Schurz, who, we felt sure, would
not be guilty of the injustice com
planned of.
GAs.-The Hamilton Telegraph
says:
Petitions are circulating, asking
the Hamilton Gas Company to re-
duce its charges from 81 to $3.50;
and these petitions are circulated by
gentlemen who hold stock in the
company.
If the HillsbOro Gas Co. could be
induced to take the same step, it
would be greatly to the interest of
the stockholders, as the consump.
ton of gas would soon be doubled.
To be sure, Hamilton is a much
larger town than Hillsboro, but still
we think there would be enough con
sumers here to Justify the proposed
reduction. .-

INIobrara Ploneer, :


Soon after the steamer Black Hills
passed down on Tuesday forenoon,
J. Fl. Billings and John Hoyt were
walking along the leyee near town
and discovered the body Of a man
lying near the bank. Approaching

too badly disfgured for recognition.

notified and a jury summoned Let
ters were found on his person ad-
dressed Jack Craven, Pratt Greek,
D. T. One from his brother, L. F.
Craven, Highland county, Ohio, and

pany with Jack Sully. He was a

stood has some little property. He
was buried as soon as possible IN the
