WORK FOR HUMANE SOCIETY
h Locking Up "Skates" and Nag" Appear. , ins a the Streets.

In the city at present there are some horses being used by the owners and the humane agent should get after the latter and compel them to take care of the '.nags" which they pretend to own and feed. There are some skates" that appear in the streets daily in this city that would no doubt appre- ciate the act of some officer who would be kind enough to have pity on them and send bullet through their heads. On North Main street yesterIi day afternoon horse started to as- cend the grade near Cooke street and became so exhausted that it fell in It's tracks. After much difficulty 1t was placed on it's feet once more and the owner said that the animal fell be- cause of the slippery condition of the pavement. That's all right" said a bystander, but take it home and give 1t peck of oats and the horse will appreciate the fact" There is certainly large amount of work for some one to do in this regard and these horses which are not in condition to work should not be allowed on the streets.

 Barn and Build a Raft.

bdTu dlnu buiIu lkdII
 Postlsnd, Me, Feb 24.-The families of William H. Seavey and Albert Markham. two fishermen. have occu- pied a small rocky islet about twenty five miles down the harbor for many years. There are eight males .nd three females. Every winter they suf- fer more or less privafions. In the winter they live on holsters and fish. About two weeks ago Seavey's dory broke sdrift one night and was lost. A few nights later Markham's boat was pounded to pieces on the rOc.s. This deprived both families of their means of sustenance. and since pro- visions were all exhausted they were face to face with starvation.
 Almost too weak to work. the rnes finally succeeded fin building a rude raft of barn which they tore down. Last evening when the raft was com plete,i tie five strongest men manned fhe rzft. and after a perilous trip made Malaga Island three mics away Although the inhabitants of that island were siso poor fsherfolk and were la want themselves. they gave practically everything they had to fhe sufferers.

HALT TO sUBCRIPTION
Superintendent Beach Would Not Accept Sueh
 Gift.

The subscription list started by T. F. Lunny for the purpose of raising enough money to send Superintendent Beach of the police department to the convention at Hot Springs. is likely to be discontinued as it is the general opinion that no matter how large sum was raised the chief would not take it, preferring to pay his own way to and from the convention. There is no doubt but what a large sum would be collected if the people thought the superintendent would ac- cept 1t, but since they are aware that he would not take the purse it is not likely the promoters of the thing will push it along. Nevertheless the move of collecting the money was a most popular one.

The Union Pacific company Is making
plans to establish motor car service on It's

short time. II Is the intention Of the
company to run a car from this point in
the morning to the capital city. returning
in the evening.
This move Is made on the part of the
company, It is understood. to improve the
passenger service In this section and with
a view OF reaching out after more bust
ness. TIE car to be used will be strictly
a passenger car and will not carry bag
gage or freight. --.-sta e.t -.
The Beatrice Commercial club, alive to the
interests of Beatrice, will request the COM
pany to have the car run from Marysville,
Kan, to Lincoln. so az to bring people
from the northern part Of Kansas and
towns along the route to Beatrice to trade
The present service between Marysvllle and
Beatrice is not what II should be, as
people living south of here cannot come
to Beatrice in the morning and return the
some day. The club will urge the Union
Pacific officials to establish this service,
which will improve trade conditions at
this point and make business for the road.
