STATE INDUSTIIAL SCHOOL, The monthly report of the state industrial school at Kearney shows a total number of inmates of 206. During the past month seven commutations have been made. In his report Superintendent Mallalicu states that thero is great necessity for the early completion of tho new buildings, as all the present quarters are overcrowded. The superintendent also calls the attention of the board to a class of inmates who might be returned aod thus lessen the number in the school. Mr. Mallalieu says: ““There are several boys here whose relations live in other states, The boys drifted west to become Indian fighters, buffalo hunters and cowboys, having been led into their con- dition by reading dime novel trash. As they t out of money and their ardor for such ife cooled oft they resorted to larceny to help them out or bocame vagrants, In sey- cral instances the parents have been anxious to have their chlldren returned to them. Considering the fact that all such children have no intention of making this state their home, and also considering the crowded con- dition of the school, would it not be advisa- ble to return these children to their homes in other states, provided no injustice would be done the children and the expense be de- fruyed by the parents.” The board will take this question under advisement and re- port upon it at the mext monthly meeting.

The work of grading N strect from the top of the incline to the Union Pacific crossing is rapidly progressing. The worl of raising the buildings on the south side of N stroot to the proper street grade is under headway. The South Omaha base ball elub has ordered new uniforms for the scason. They will bo made by Reach & Co., of Philadelphia. The season at this place will open April 20, and and close Soptember 29. J. D. Montgomery, a farmer residing near Albright was thrown from his horse on N streot at a lato hour last night and sustained a compound fracture of the right arm in the rogion of the elbow joint. He was taken to Omaha for medical treatment. Mayor-clect Sloan—*Now is the timo for us to got down to work. 1 intend with the co-operation of the city council to do_all in my power while I 'am in office to push mat- ters pertaining to our public enterprises, to the front. Yes, we can do some good work hero, and with the bright prospects before us for a largo ¢ ay. wo have no ex- cuse to offer in case we overlook its pros- pects.” Nothing of importance tr nection with the railway pired in con- strike in South arge numberof freight handled in the Burlin 3 lay and to-day. Some of the citizens of South Omaha maintain that the presence of the Pinkertons is the chief disturbing clement in the strife as regards the stand taken by the switchmen. They state thata when the would-be “‘fly bobs™ are not about the building, everything basks in quictnde, The receints of stock at this place is fast regaining its former standard as rogards the quantity, and it is thought in a few days the market will be as active as ever. At present prices aro somewhat weak and feverish, which is accounted for by the merchants, as being the resalt of the suspension of business by some of the largest slaughtering and con- suming institutions. It is stated that Ham- mond & Co. and Boyd & Co., will be running full forces by the latter part of next week. There came near being a collision between a dummy passenger train and a west-bound freight on the Union Pacific in the vicinity of Nineteenth street late yesterday afte noon. The freight, which was a long and heavily ladened tramn, when going up grade broke in two, the rear section, consisting of fourteen cars, starting back down the grade. But two blocks in the rear was the suburban train bound for Albright. Conductor Jack- son, who was in charge of the passenger train, fortunately was on the lookout, and at once gave the signal to stop. In the mean- time the conductor of the freight and the rear brakeman, discovered what had oc- curred and managed to set the brakes be- fore much headway was gained. Simply by quick work onthe part of the trainmen, what might have resulted in a disastrous wreck, was averted. A large mass of earth gave away from a bank along which the south suburban track of the Union Pacific runs parallel, near the Nineteenth —strect crossing yosterday afternoon, which covered the track several feet in depth. Workmoen soon removed the obstruction, thereby caus- ing but a slight delay of trains. The track service of the Burlington and Union Pacific in South Omaha is somewhat out of repairs, Since the thaw set in the roadbeds have become muckey, and in many places the ties and rails are below the sur- face or puried in_the mud. Several freight +cars have been derailed on account of this within the past few days, Work of trench- ing on cither side of the tracks has been com- menced. The defective walk and platform leading to the suburban depot is being repaired. The municipal court room was crowded vosterday afternoon, the occasion being the trial of J. H. Yohe, Pat O’Donnell, John O'Connor, Frank Cooper and James Fole, charged with fraudulent voting. Yohe was arrested by Marshal MacCracken just as he .had cast his ballot the sccond time. He voted the first time under his proper cognomen and the second time is alleged to ha voted under the name of Riley Collins. The wit- nesses in the case on behalf of the prosccu- tion were Pat Mohan, P, Murrell, Yates, John O'Neil, John Gorman, James Bell and John Mohr. ' All the witnesses testitied to Yohe being the man who voted under the two ues in question, and he was identifled by two of the judges of election in that pre. cinet. The marshal test dto having placed him under arrest just after he had made or was making the second attempt to vote. At the conclusion of his trial Judge Reuther, after_reviewing the testimony in the case, bound Yol r to the district court in bonds of , in default of which he was committed to juil. Yohe is a young man about twenty-five years of age, unmarried, and clmms to hail from Indianap whither his parents reside. The si called was that of Pat O'Donnell, char with casting his ballot in & precinet'of which he was not a qualified voter, Ho voted in the Third ward and resided in the Second, This he admitted, Judge Reuther regarded this as a violation of the election laws of the state and accordingly held him to the district court in $500 bonds, which was furnished The charge preferred against the remaini threo was that of attempting to vote th secoud time and obstructing the poll evidence in the case, however, was un ble and mithy, which resulted in the trio be. ing discharged.

Aud provided also: That said draw shall be opened promptly upon reasonable signal, except when trains are passing over the said bridge, for the passage of boats whose construc- tion shall not be such as to admit of their passage under the draw of sad bridge when closed; but in no case shall unnecessary de- lay occur in opening the said draw after the passage of trains; and the said company or corporation shall maintain, at its own ex pense, from sunset to sunrise, such lights or other signals on said bridge as the light- house board shall prescribe. ec. 4.

A new sporting organization, to be christ- ened the Crib Club, has been effected, and a mecting was held at the temporary rooms, the cornerof Thirteenth and Douglas, last evening for the purpose of electing of- ficers for the current year. Some of the best known and wost influential citizens have ap- plied for mewmbership, which is to be lim- ited to twenty:five.

This activity of invention shows ability and intelligence among her people,who are always ready to turn to account the forces of nature for the benefit of man. This country in her workingmen is rich in producers, and if their intelli- gence were trained in connection with their work, we need not fear the indus- trial competion of any European na- tion. All great foreign nations, except the United States, are terribly handi- capped in the industrial race by e cessive armaments. England is also weighted, but not to an equal extent. The strength of nations consists in peace, but they make a sad error by not knowing that the weakness of nations is in active war, or excessive preparedness for it. France, Germany, io\llnnd‘ Italy, Belgium and Great Britain have 2,200,000 men withdrawn from being productive citizens, in orde: to be protective militants, at a cost for man of $15. If we take all the od nations, adding the reserves to the permanent forces, fourteen and a half millions of the strongest men are or may be withdrawn from production. This is one man for twenty-four of the population, or,if we exclude the re- serves, one out of eighty-one. That is the roason why I point to the United States as the great industrial nation of the future, for her armed forces repre- sents only one man in 1,610 of the pop- ulation. *Luckily, her protective policy is an incubus upon her industry, and gives us breathing time to prepare for the coming struggle. The Si of Texas. From the Fort Worth Gazette: The area of Texas is more than equal to the arca of all the New Ingland states, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, I1lli- nois, New Jersey and Delaware com- bined. i Texas contains more than four times the area of all the New England states. Texas would make 241 states as large as Rhode Island, or nearly six states as large as New York, or nearly nine states as large as South Carolina, or nearly seven kingdoms as large as Portugal. Texas is as large as Great Brijain and Treland, Turkey in Europe, Portu- gal, Greece and Switzerland combined. as would make more than three states as large as Kansas, Texas is as large as the German em- pire and Alabama combined. “The land in actual use for growing Indian corn, wheat, hay, in the United States now 00 squarc miles, ora little more the arca of Texas.” “The entire wheat crop of the Uni States could be grown on wheat land of best quality selected from that part of the area of Texas by which the state Is the areaofthe German em- “The world’s present supply of cotton could be grown upon an area equal to ouly 7 per cent of the area of Te 2.
