The agitation over the land Office re-
moval will no doubt bring about change
to a more convenient location. The
homesteaders have trials and tribulations
enough without being obliged to have
the unnecessary trouble and expense Of
their business in an out of
the way place. The homesteaders care
little who is district judge. so long as he
be honest and capable. They care little
who is register or receiver, if competent
men are appointed. But they are inter
ested in the location of the land Office.

FAST DRIvING.-Of late, our citizens
have, from time to time, been troubled
by the fast driving between the hack
drivers on the streets accompanied by
at each other on going to and
from trains. On last Monday while thus
going to the C. X. s. n depot, the Jehus
succeeded in soaring Mr.. Con OBrien' s
team, which was standing hitched to a
load of corn ia front of B. J. Woodruff's |
store O'Brien was standing at his wag- !,
On, bat his team started at full run, and |,
broke his wagon in front of Opelts hotel !
causing him much unnecessary cost aud !
The authorities propose
hereafter that the ordinance in relation /
10 fast driving ON the streets be strictly |
enforced.
