The public will be sincerely rejoiced
to learn that the city council have taken
steps for the establishment of a cow or
dinance the provisions of which j will
protect shade trees from destruction, and
save the wooden side-walks from Otter

foliage, which adds so much to the beau
ty of any town, is wholly due to the
past culpable failure on the part of the
city fathers to oblige the owners of cows
to restrain them from running at large,
and while the much needed reform in
this direction has been long delayed, it
is better that it should come late than
never ' j '
A telegram to The News from S. E.
Bear, of Hartford, announces that
the safe of Campbell Brothers jwas
uiown open at that place last evening
by burglars who succeeded in getting
away with f 350 in money and about $90
ia postage stamps! ; They also took some
goods from the show-case, and j the
amount stolen will aggregate, it is
thought, about $400. The safe is utterly
ruined. The . floor was strewn
with tools such as drills, a sledge ham
mer, Ac., and a paper of powder was
also found. The entrance was effected
by way of the back door, near which the
safe stood. There is no clue to the rob
bers. A party of tramps were eeea in
the village in the afternoon, but suspi
cion rests upon parties better acquainted
with the premises than wandering va

As far. r n l' i
We stated some days ago, in an ar.
tide in relation to the sale of Lyon
county's stock in the Missouri Pacific
railroad (late M. K..& T.) that with the
(90,000 which could now be realized
from it that wo could probably buy
$100,000 or more of our county bonds.
We are reliably informed ince then
that we were mistaken ; that not a Lyon
county bond can now be purchased for
less than par. It is with pride we make
the correction, and all citizens of the
county will be glad ; to learn of her ex
cellent financial standing. Our : rail
road debt was. heavy, . and 4he
tax to pay the annual interest of $28,000
very burdensome for some years, but be
it said to the credit of the people of the
county there never was a proposition to
repudiate a dollar of our debt - Now we
see the good results following the sound
financial course which has been pursued
by our people. ' : ' " ' " '
