morning, from which the following extract is
printed
As to the request for DR.. Leonard to be re-
turned to this church the next year. At
meeting of the quarterly conference, held
May 20, 1885, resolution was adopted by
vote Of nine out OF eleven present asking his
return for the year, the two members not
voting either way. At a meeting OF the
official board OF the church composed Of the
same persons who compose the quarterly con-
f-rence) held on July l3, 1855, after Dr.
Leonard had been nominated tor
governor, when there were twenty
seven members present, resolution was
adopted renewing the request Tor his return
| for the ensuing year by a vote Of twenty -four
| for the resolution, two against and one not
voting either way; and nov ! want to say
that DR.. Leonard had nothing to do with the
drawing up OF that paper. ! know that 1t
was drawn by Brothers c. H. S,haeffer and
John Johnson, at the formers grocery, dur
ing the day, and DR.. Leonard never knew

meeting of the Board. When the paper was
hrs' written up tne request LOT the return Oi
DR.. Leonard wass Iart OF its contents. AZ
terwards Brother Schaetter, in his desire to so
word it, if possible, as to get all the members
Of the Board to vote it, struck out that
provision. At the meeting of the Board
when the paper was presented, the only re-
| quest DR.. Leonard made about il was rhs, we

next year. or that we did. then, by the re-

OF Dr. Leonard There was no dictation by
DR.. Leonard as to the wording, in any en-
deavor to make it any stronger or to change
it in any way, but he said it suited him 4:

WHERE THEY SIr" "RfJS!"
The Railroads and the Rodent Ruin an
Industry in Nebraska.

al don't know whether dare speak Of rats
here in Springfield or not" said /. man FROM
York, Nebraska, at the Arcade Yesterday,
"but ! was going to tell you peculiar thing.
Out in our country certain industry has
been entirely ruined by the rats Before we
got . railroad through our country there
were men who used to 90 around putting up
sod houses for settlers. | suppose 10 per
cent. OF the new settlers in our region occu-
pied sod houses when they first moved
upon their homesteads. These builders were
particularly expert at the work, though any
body can build a sod house The turf out
there is strong and thick, and they cut il up
| into squares about sixteen inches each way
and lay it into a wall. The wall builds up
as true as die If the blowing OF the turf
has been carefully done. OF course they put
in doors and windows just as they would il
the wall were made OF brick or stone. Wher
the walls are high enough they put som'
tmbers across, pile on some brush, and lay
root of more turf. These roofs turn wste
nicely for . year or two. After swhil
they dry out and are not the
80 good. In this way settlers cou
put up house at an expense OF twenty dol
lars and do it in a couple OF days. If the
couldn't afford board floor they would di
down below the soil, and the hard, dry sub
soil made as pretty floor as a man woul
want, sweeping clean and keeping quit
smooth. Of course our people have mic
frame houses now, and have had for year
but sod out-buildings,' stable and wsgo
: sheds were in use until the railroads can
through, and then it was good-by sod house
: The railroad brought in the rats and the ra
. would cut sod house so iull OF holes in
J week that there was danger OF It's iallir
