FOUR MILES OF PAVING.
The streets of Lincoln, outside of the
small area already paved have been prac-
tically impossible the past week, so much SO
that hacks have refused to answer calls.
This state Of affairs has been very uninviting
TO visitors to the state capital and has placed
The city, so far as its thoroughfares are con.
cerned, In an unenviable light However,
there Is bright future in comparison with
the present, and Councilman Billingsley
etated yesterday that there would be four
miles OF new pavement laid the present year.
This amount of paving will be sufficient to
lift all the business part of Lincoln out of the
miro and give good occasion for the assump-
tion of metropolitan airs. OF this new paw
ing work only one district of the four is
under contract, and that was let last season
TO FL, Il. Clarke. This district will be paved
with cedar blocks, the same as the district
completed last year, but the material for the
other districts and the contracts are yet to
be submitted and passed upon The agitation
of brick as paving material is occupying
the attention OF the city papers.
GONE TO THE PEN.
Yesterday Paul Virgins, tho farm hand
who robbed his employer, was sent to the
penitentiary under sentence OF one years
Imprisonment. Virgins after his thevery
endorsed a check that he stole and attempted
TO cash II at West Lincoln, which directly
led TO his arrest. Upon beng arraigned
In court he plead guilty and a great deal of
sympathy was expressed for him and that
his sentence might be light. His explanation
OF his act was that for damage done to prop
erty portion of his wages were kept back
and he took the money, as lie expressed it, 10
get even. Among his effects was found a
receipt given TO w. III. Wilson. a neighbor of
the man for whom Virgins worked; he ex-
planned that he had found the receipt, but
the sheriff on inquiry regarding it found that
II was stolen from Mr.. Wilson a short time
ago, together with a gold chain, apocketbook
and s. In money. The fact shows that Wig
gins was more than thieying TO get even with
his employer and that any sympathy in his
direction Is wasted.
ROSTER OF SOLDIERS
Lieutenant Dudley has Just completed in
the adtutant generals office a roster of the
Volunteer soldiers OF Nebraska who were ia
the service of the state from 1851 TO 1869 The
work has been done under authority of Gov
ernor Thayer, and under the supervision of
the adlutant general, and the list is as COM
plete as It has been possible to make ii, con
sidering that the records have lain in the
dust for years and have been carted around
the old capitol building without much care or
attention. The adjutant wants to add to
tins roster the correct list of every volunteer
soldier now living in the state.
