Of the roads in his ncighborhood:

improvement of the roads in this town

and we all worked nearly two weeks in
grading them up and bridging the little
brooks and rivulets. We pledged one
another to keep them IN repair voluntari

by inserting pole to slab, setting the
slab at an angle. From that date to this
the farmers along our roads have kept
them up by dragging these scrapors over
them.
when Neighbor Jones, living at the
east end Of the road, has occasion TO 90
over il, he bitches scraper behind his
wagon and drags it the distance he goes
in such way that it throws the dirt
from, say, the south sido of the road 10
the center, filling Up ruts and bumps.

rection, comes along with his wagon,
picks up the scraper where Jones cast il

IN FAVOR OF v

The Nebraska Democratic State
Convention adopted a platform de-
clarlng for the free coinage Of gold
n silver. The convention also con
slstently refused to consider a resolu-
ton commenting the Administration
Of President Cleveland.
The only State officers to be elected
IN Nebraska this year are a Justice of
the Supreme Court and two Regents of
the State University. Last wear the
Populist candidate for Governor was
elected, the Democrats having en-
dorsed him, but the Legislature was
Republican and it elected the attorney
OF the Union Pacific. United States
Senator.
1t must be humiliating to Secretary
Morton, who had the attaches of the
Department of Agriculture paid in
silver last week to give them what he
called an object lesson, to know that
the Democrats Of his State declared
for free coinage and refused to en-
dorse the Administration.
