NIoBpARA, Neb., Dec. 24.-The suf'
fering among the inhabitants of the
drought blasted part of Nebraska, in
GLIDING three fourths OF the residents
of Ave counties, is becoming more in
tense daily, and immediate steps alone
can prevent many deaths by starva-
tion. Three years ago the farmers OF
these drought-blighted counties raised
a very light crop, and the past two
years the crops have been almost total
failures. Many families have not
enough provisions in their homes for
one weeks subsistence and no money
TO purchase the necessaries of life.
President Mason, of the Nebraska
state relief commission, has been for
warded carefully-prepared report OF
the number OF destitute families In the
different counties in the state where
there was a crop failure. The list Is
large one and IL will require all the as

Central avenue, the northern extern
sion of Center street, with its well
sprinkled, wide driveway and tall, shady
cottonwoods, is the favorite route select
ed by Phoenix residents when out for a
short drive. From the nature of the
country and the wealth and enterprise
of the property owners in that direction
it seems likely to be the location of the
better class of residences when Phoenix
shall have reached that prosperous
period and for that reason to always
continue popular district. The Simms

II there can be anything Phoenix can

They are body of young men such as
republics and all stable governments
characterize as bulwarks of their well
fare. The above assertion was clearly
demonstrated last night at a special
meeting of Company B, Capt. Wickham
commanding. The meeting was for the
purpose of perfecting the carrying out

of W. II. Buck of THE REPUBLICAN,.
The main feature of the meeting was
the easy and highly decorous way
matters were discussed. Grand marches,
carefulness to be exercised in regard to
those to be admitted, each member to
be, as it were, a committee of one to
act in furtherance of good order and an
enjoyable time. Lieut.. Hehin is an ad
mirable officer and like Capt. Wickham
very popular with the company.

JACKS BOOK.
Phoenix Has at Least One Literary
ASpirant.
son on Oct

Aspirant.
''California Jack" is a vagrant, but
tolerated resident of Phoenix, gentle
man of literary aspirations which
threaten to take the shape Of an anto-
biography which after all will be only a
cloak for a new text book on descriptive
geography. Jack proposes to write OF
the things he has seen and the places
he has visited. His book will be COM
prehensive for he has been as sailor
or tramp in nearly every habitable
portion of the globe. His book will
contain no hearsay matter so it will be
free from the inaccuracies of most books
of travel and if it should be found to con-
tain any eccentricities of statement it
will be the fault of Jacks eye, memory
or imagination.
A chapter and very large one will
be devoted to Phoenix. All of jack g
friends here are to be made famous and
his enemies are to be handed down IN
ridicule and contumely to the scorn
and hatred OF future generations.
There are though two serious OBJ
stacles to the production OF this work.
One is inebriety and the other is the
city jail, for whenever Jack is at large
he is drunk. His movements consist of
an unvarylug procession from the saloon
to the gutter; thence to Jail, thence to
police court, back to Jail and in due
course of time to the saloon and 30 on,
a habit not conducive to supreme
literary success. Otherwise Jack might
write a book, for whatever he is now he
has been educated and was once a gen
tleman.
