Dan Gullls Is authority for the statement that the Hurgarian partridges turned loose in Nebraska a few years ago have not multiplied and have not come up to the expectation of those who thought to in- crease the game birds in this state. For some time Mr. Guilis has been trying to get some direct information on this mat- ter, but nowhere has he been able to find for syre that theé birds had been seen In any Increased numbers. This morning he recelved a report from the government to the effect that the distribution of the birds in the states had not paid, but that the ex- periment had been & ¢ostly ome. «In Ore- gon only were the reports favorable. Around oGrdon the game warden learned there were some ring-necked pheasants, byt the birds, seemingly, have disappeared from the other places where they were turned loose. Naponee Waunts More Stock Yards. The eity of Naponee has asked the State Rallway commission to assist it in getting Detter and bigger stock yards at the hands of the Burlington railroad. The present stock yards, the complain. sald, has only two lots, and when more than two ship- pers bring in stock all except that number have to herd thelr stock sut on the prairie and besides the water supply Is not ade- quate. Otfers to Do Some Improvin The Missouri Pacific has informed the raflway commission that it is willing to make certain improvements In the depot at Unlon, but it does not mention that it will endarge the walting room, so there s lable to be a hearing on the question. Al- most two months ago the citizens of Union made their ccmplaint to the commission and the rallroad was given ninety days to deeide what it would do without being or- dered by the officlals of the state. New Girl for Dr. Borglum. Dr. Frank Borglum, an Omaha product, who I8 now In Lincoln practicing his pro- fegsion, Is father of a brand new girl Back to the Old Way. (1) The “New Jerusalem” has taken a hiteh " in proceedings, discarded some of the new and gone back to the old way for a change, or may be permanently. Some time ago' the various club members offered Sugge tions to the traction company how to man- age Its affalrs, with the result that all street cars stopped on both sides of the streets where tracks crossed, rather, they were supposcd to stop. This practice has been kept up for some months, but it proved rather unsatisfactory and now the cars stop only on the far side of the streets, that is golng eas: and west and today they had the appearance of really going some. Orders Club to B Rars, Lincoln having voted out the saloons over & year ago and repeated the perform- ance a month ago, the police are now busy shutting up the bars. The Elks were noti-, tied to out wtih their bar and a couple of other clubs were informed last night by Chief Malone that bars go no | r here and they must be stored, burned, moved out or disposed of and the sale of liquor discontinued. And the chief will bend his every effort to see that nis orders are obeyed. To Load Hogs from W The State Rallway commission has writ- ten to the Burlington a very insistent letter that it proceed and fix up its affairs at Halsey so that shippers may load hogs from wagons to the cars. The matter was called to the attention of the commission by L. A. Cox & Sons, who sald it was im phecible to load hogs to the cars from \&-sum because the rallroad furnished n ute. The commission looked into the case and found at some places chutes were provided and there seemed to be no settled Tule governing the case. Rather than have the farmers teach thelr hogs to jump, the commission thought It better try first to have the railroad furnish the chutes. Ingham Asks for Depot. Citizens of the town of Ingham have asked the State Rallway commission to get them a depot at the hands of the Bur- lington rallroad. The letter said Ingham 1s & very important spot on the map and that surrounding It are many wealthy td@mers and shippers. The commission has taken the matter up with the rallroad.
