The most felicitous fellers in Kansas
over the appointment of Prof. Garfield
to the CHARACTERISTIC of the Nebraska
State university, are his warmest per-
sonal friends and most ardent admirers.

ever, to state that their qualification is

new position will afford him, and not
over his leaving this state.

Carroll, the author of the eight-hour law

With ali of its devotion to Cleveland,
it is becoming palmer every day that the

given as the cause Of the disafTection, but

w. Bishop, received telegram from
Mr.. J. n. Pool, of Bolton, S. g., to

On the Anderson train Mr.. D. A.
Geer came down to identify the boys,
and if the right ones, to take them back
home. They were the boys wanted.
They were only about fourteen years old.
One was the son of Mr.. Pool and the
other the son of Mr.. J. J. Cox. Both
parties are we'll to do farmers living
near Bolton.
The boys seemed willing to return
home. They did not care to talk much
and gave no excuse for leaving home
except they wanted to take a trip and
see something of the world. They had
bought tickets to Columbia. They had
also purchased ticket for a negro who
it seems, was to accompany them but
when the time came did not put in ar
appearance. Each Of the boys had
% calibre seven shooter pistol; no bag
gage. Pool had S27 left after buying
tickets and dinner Cox did not have
any money at all.
Mr.. Geer returned to Belton with
them on the freight Saturday night.

4 TYPICAL EASTER.
Ap,ropriate Services in the Churches-A
Day Without a Cloud.

Last Sunday was the balmiest day
so far in 1891. The sun shone IN spleu-
dor on the Easter morn, and the
! churches of Newberry were all we'll at
tended.
The Lutheran, Methodist and Epis-
copal churches were decorated for the
Easter occasion. and the services had
special reference to the Resurrection.
At the Lutheran church the decora-
tions were almost entirely confined to
the pulpit aud chancel. A large cross
of frosted leaves was conspicuous
against a background of dark green
laurel in the recess in rear Of the pulpit.
There was profusion Of rare pot plants
artistically arranged on the sides and
in front of the pulpit, and the reading
desk WAS entwined with the royal
colored wisteria and violets. The chan-
| Gel railing was entwined with ivy and
yellow Jasmine. There were two
inottoes on white grounds in letters of
alternate colors: "Why seek ye the
living among.the dead" and The Sun
of Righteousness has Risen.' The pull
pit and reading desk were also covered
with draperies Of white satin. While
not very elaborate, the decorations
were very pretty.
The communion was administered to
a large congregation, and four persons
were received iuto the church. The
confirmation will take place on Whit
sunday. Aspecial Easter offering was
made by the congregation for missions
and church extension.
Rev. w. &. Schaefter, the pastor,
preached the Easter sermon at night
to large congregation. His discourse
was able and thoughtful, and referred
especially to the general resurrection
and the future life.
The music in charge of Mrs. P. Rob
ertson, the organist, was we'll rendered
at both services. The Easter anthem
at the morning service was in manu-
script, and was composed by Prot. e.
Louis Ide, of Staunton, Va, especially
for Rev. w. C.. Schaetfer. Atthe night
service the anthem by VIM. Dressler,
"He is Risen,n was sung.
The Methodist church was prettlly
decorated for Easter. There was
beautiful cross Of red japonlcas in rear
of the pulpit aud the windows were
festooned with garlands Of green leaves.
The windows also held each a hanging
basket of hydrangeas. A mound from
which rose beautiful Gala lilies, roses,
and begonias made charming effect
in front of the pulpit. The notices
"Lo. He is Risen" aud "a Joyful
Easter'' were we'll displayed in letters
Of green in rear of the pulpit.
Rev. w. w. Daniel, the pastor,
preached bothImorning and night. The
sermons were appropriate to the Eas-
ter festival and were listened to by
large congregations. :,
The music at 10th services was led
bv the Misses Metts, and was very
good. The anthem in the morning,
lift your glad voices" was u special
feature of the music.
The Episcopal church was also deco
rated, and lay reading held by Capt.
n. B. Mazyck.

church met on Easter Monday. and

Horses Stolen.

On last Saturday Messrs. Rhett
Milan and jim Little, Of Clinton, were
in Newberry in search Of two stolen
horses. On Friday night Mr.. Madison
Ferguson and Mr.. Joe Phinney each
had a horse stolen from their stables.
They tracked the horses in the direc-
ton of Newberry, but up to this time
have been unable to obtain any clue as
to the guilty parties. MIR. Phinney was
in Newberry Monday and called at The
Herald and News Office and informed
US that one of the horses was a bay
mare, medium size, rather thin. The
other was a sorrel horse, pony build, in
fine fix, with scar above the eye and
on left forearm, caused by barbed wire
fence.
Mr.. W. H. Sondly on the same night
lost his horse, but he turned up at
home next day without the saddle. He
was visiting at Mr.. J. Cal. Neels.
about mile from Newkerry, and had
hitched his horse to the fence. When
he came out to go home about II O'Clock
the horse was gone.

The Court.

The Court of Common Pleas adjourn
ed last Friday. The jury came back on
Thursday morning, but only tried one
case, that of J. w. Folk against the
9. y. 4 l.. r. r., damage to his prop
erty in Jalapa in getting right ofway. It
was an appeal from a jury that had
assessed the damage. This jury gave
Folk $500. The railroad appealed, and
al the trial last Thursday the jury gave
the plaintiff. $3.50. This was the only
Jury case heard, and Judge Wither-
spoon and Stenographer Law left for
their homes on Friday.
The court this time accomplished only
very little in the trial cases. The fault
seems not to have been with the court
proper. The judge and jury seemed
ready and willing to work, but could
find nothing to do. There was very little
new business, and no one seemed to be
ready in the old cases.
