We have a rumor.that Hanson, the allee.
ed murderer of S%orenson, has been arrested
at st. Helena, Nebraska. If this proves
true it has been accomplished t%hroughsthe
intelligent and indefatigable efforts Of
Sheriff Baker of this city.
Mr.. Cox's 4th of July programme will be
fully carried; out to-norrow. The only
thing to be regretted is that the major him
self will take no part in it. The entertain
ment we fear will lack considerable interest
if it is deprived of the presence Of Cox.
The following are the names of the pa',
pills of the Second Grammar school standing
highest in department during the school
month ending June 9th, 1879: Nellie An:

From private sources We learn that the
Knox County News. of Niobrara, has col
lapsed, and the material moved across into
Dakota. thus placing it Without the jurisdic.
ton Of Nebraska law. Too many cooks"
with diverse political views is what spoiled
the News broth. -
The pavilion erected by the firemen for
the Fourth Of July celebration, was blown
down last night BY the strong wind which
prevailed at that time. A large force of
carpenters have been at work ell day. and
everything will be in good shape by to-
morrow morning. The company will loose
about $50 by the catastrophe.
A man and a bear, or q bear and q map
we are doubtful which should have the pre-
ference, as the bear walked erect. drank
beer and held up q claw to the bartender
we're in town to day. They drew a large
crowd of boys, of all sizes and ages who
we're highly entertained with the antics of
the bear and the jargon of the man. Maj.
Cox is negotiating with them to form q
part of his fourth Of July programme. The
report that the bear is the property Of John
Cunningham Of Fort Randall, and that Its
keeper is Buckskin Bill in disguise, and
that these gentlemen are now on their way
east'to exhibit the animal, Els probably q
malicious invention. But presuming that
the report may be true We hope our citizens
will not be saving of their nickles when
the keeper passes round the hat.
Here's good news for the members Of
the late legislature. Last evening Secretary
Hand telegraphed to the comptroller of the
treasurer for instructions In, regard to the.
disposition of the public funds in his hands,
and stating the amount per diem he had
paid the members. This afternoon he re-.
ceived q telegram from 4. q. Porter,
comptroller of the treasury. directing
him to pay the officers and members
Of the late legislature the same per diem as
was allowed previous legislatures-that is,
to pay the members six dollars instead Of
four dollars a day. The secretary has the
funds on hand, and % Soon Is he can make
out the necessary vouchers the members
can get their "back pay"
In another column of this paper will be
found a strange story under the caption of
80 man without a spirit" If the mode Of
death and subsequent. bringing to life there
In described should be demonstrated by
further experiment 40 mol calculated to de-
stroy life, it may be proftablY adopted as
an important factor in the political and So
cial economy Of the couatsy. Assuming
that the article alluded to is true and that
the operation is unattended with danger to
human life, it can be employed with great
benefit to the public service, upon a certain
class oflpersons whom fatea and q misguided
constituency designate as public law makers.
The success Of this new scientific! feature
will give an impetus to theep; farming and
especially should the prairies Of Dakota be
we'll supplied with these animals. to which
q new importance and adaptation will thus
be given, just before the biennial assem-
bling Of our local law makers. Inferior
blooded sheep will fully answer the pur-
pose.
