Omaha at o'clock yesterday morning, was
delivered to its patrons at Grand Island and
points west of there on the main line Of the
Union Pacific as follows

The papers would have been delivered here

all plants bloomed and bore seed, the
other that the pre-Adamic plants never
bore seed and were propagated in some
