The Presbyterian church received seven new
members last week. Ilev. Hart, is an industrious
worker, and he has added great strength to the
church not only by the addition of new members
but by revival of the old.
Sam Adams has the contract to erect a new
frame building on east Front street for James
Morau. Mr. Morau for some time contemplated
the erection of a brick building, but he finally
coucludccd to make it frame. The structure will
be nearly opposite the U. P. freight depot
Prof. Hunt's lecture at the Methodist church
Monday evening was interesting and received the
close attention of all present. The topic was
"Common Sense About Heading." The lesson
to the teachers was important and will arouse an
interest in this homcwhat neglected study.
A thief attempted to steal a horrc Sunday

The Union Mission Sunday school of the
Third Ward, uuder the encouragement of the
Womaus Chrietion Union, is attracting an element
that is not readily reached by the churches. By
their gentle influence they are bringing in the
"bad boy" from the street and giving him
religious instruction that therwisc he might
never receive. In this work the ladies deserve
encourage inL
The members and friends of the Uniterian
Sunday school, desire to thank Mr. and Mrs.
Stcbbins for the use of their beautiful grove last
Saturday; also for use of team. There is no grove
within such easy distance from the city, that can
compare with the Stebbius home place, the loca
tion is beautiful and the trees have a wonderful
growth for their age. "May such picnics come
often' say the little and big folks who were there
last Saturday.
It being a year since Rev. Jcnncrassmned the
rectorship of the Church of Our Savionr. he will
on nexrSuntlay morning deliver his anniversary
sermon. The reverend gentleman has labored
very diligently in the interests of his church and
people and his efforts have been crowned with
euccess, some fifteen persons having been
confirmed. If more of the members were imbued
with the activity whicli characterizes Mr. Jenncr
the church would be doing even a grander work
than it is. It is to be regretted that o few of the
members avail themselves of the opportunities to
hearthe able sermons delivered by their rector.
If this horse stealing business continues it
will be well for the citizens to organize a society
known as vigilantes, an order which when in
vogue in the earlier days of the country meted
out justice in fairer proportions than do the
courts of this enlightened day. We trust that the
mantle of Judge Gaslin, who was a "holy terror''
to horse thieves, may fall on Judge Church, so
that when the oilicers are fortunate enough to
catch a thief he will be sentenced to the fullest
extent of the law, and that the Judge may express
profound sorrow in his inability to give the
criminal a longer term behind the bars.
The railway engineers of the city arc now
making arrangements to give a ball at the opera
house on Sept. 20th. As this ball may be termed
the opening dance of the season, the boys will
spare no pains in making it unusually flowery and
elegant. It is generally acknowledged that the
members of the B. of L. E. know better how to
conduct a strictly first-class public dance than
other persons and when they promise that all who
attend will have a pleasant evening that promise
is.always fulfilled. This being the case, the 20th
of September will be eagerly awaited by those
who delight to craccfully skim the waxen floor.
The presence of the teachers in the city has
been the source of a number of social gatherings
for their entertainment -during the week. On
Thursday, Prof. Langford gave a lecture illustrat
ed with magic lantern views, highly entertaining
and instruct've. Prof. Ilnnt's lecture on Monday
evening was well attended. Coming from a
person so highly cultured, every word and every
gesture received the closest attention. Last
evening as we went to press the teachers were
entertaining their friends at the court house,
daring which ice cream and cake were served. On
to-morrow (Thursday) evening the teachers will
be entertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
James Belton.
Few parties given this year have equalled and
none excelled the one given by Mr. and Mrs. C. F.
Iddings on Tuesday evening of last week. The
invitations contained the sentence "dancing from
8:30 to 12,' and to this end the house had been
put in readiness. The carpets in three rooms had
been covered with canvass, making dancing more
of a pleasure than it would otherwise on a summer
night Floral decorations were profuse and
tastefully arranged, adding a pleasing effect to
the handsomely furnished apartments. The pro
gram contained ten dances, and at the stated time
music resounded through the house and the
dancing opened with a waltz. After eight
numbers had been completed, refreshments were
served, each guet receiving a souvenir pansy
bouquet After all had done justice to these
seasonable refreshments, two more dances were
called, after which the guests departed, no doubt
regretting that such enjoyable evenings were not
or more frequent occurrence, and feeling that as
entertainers Mr. and Mrs. Iddings were very
successful. There were about thirty in attendance.
Lutheran Cucncu Notes. The Lutheran
Sunday school had a delightful picnic on E. E.
Ericsson's ranch at Cottonwood week before last.
The ride ,vas long but pleasant. The Ericsson
family are grater ally remembered for their great
hospitalitj. On returning the beautiful National
cemetery 'ras visited. This school was kept up
during the pastor's vacation, and every teacher
made the good record of being present every
time Last week Prof. Langford entertained
the children with his magic lantern. His views
arc very Jne. and those on botany, history, ten
nights, ett., can be made very instructive. The
institute entertainments should be patronized
As all the little onces could not go to Cot
tonwood, a special infant picnic was held in the
parsonage grounds last Saturday which seemed to
afford the usual amount of fun. Good religion
and decent pleasure go hand in hand Harvest
Home will be observed in this church next
Sunday morning, When crops fail many arc
wady to curse. What shall be done in a year of
plenty! "Let all the people praiee thee, OGod."

No. 1 ran iuto the forward end of a
freight train as the latter was backing on
the switch at Chapman, near Central City,
Monday night, and did not arrive here
until 2 p.m., Tuesdny. The engine of
the passenger was badlv demolished and
several cars of the freight, but "no one
was hurt."
Corn raised on sod usually cuts hut
a small figure in the aggregate amount
raised, but this year in this county it will
not be an insignificant portion. Dr. J.
B . Clayton of Dickens will have thirty
bushels pr acre from a portion of his
and the balance will run about twenty.
There is a large area of sod corn.
A very pleasant sociable "was held at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel

were served, a respectable sum being re
ceived which will be used for defraying
church expenses.
Lorpn Clark, President of the Mis
souri River, North Platte & Denver
Railway, arrived in Mils city yesterday.
He brought a plat of the survey of the
line through the county, which will be
filed with the county clerK and in the
U. S. land office in a few days. The line
runs almost preciseij' as neretoiore
outlined in The Tribune. There will
be over sixtv miles of road in the county.
The first load of home mrown water
melons was brought into market Friday
by Walter Coville. The' had been
picked about a week too early, however,
and were not quite ripe enough to be
good eating. By the latter part of next
week melons will be in good condition
and will be brought to market by the
hundreds. Owing to immense numbers
raised this season they will be sold very
cheaD.
Fred Nowell is putting up about
1,000 tons of hay this year, the force he

CheyeBne and Denver are our principal
markets, though some shipments can be
made into New Mexico. Prairie hay
cannot be placed in markets east of the
Missouri river only in rare instances. It
is used only in small quantities in
Chicago.
A special meeting of the council was
held Tuesday evening the object being to
purchase an electric fire alarm apparatus.
There were present Mayor Ormsby,
Councilmen Iddings, Walsh, Klein and
Johnson. After hearing the statement of
the agent, the council voted to buy the
apparatus, at $1,000, $500 to be paid next
spring and .$500 the year following, with
interest at seven per cent from date of
acceptance of the fire alarm. The water
works company is to string the wires, but
there will be an additional cost to the
city of about $250 for an alarm bell and
the building of a tower to mount it on.
Counting interest the cost will be thirteen
or fourteen hundred dollars. The system
is said to be a very efficient one, and will
be serviceable in time of a fire.
Have just received some beautiful

The county commissioners went
down to Brady Island station Tuesday
the 20th to measure the distance across
the river at the place where the proposed
bridge is to be constructed . They were
accompanied by Surveyor Fort The task
of measuring was quite difficult, the
brush on the islands and tow-beads being
very thick and hard to penetrate. How
ever the work was successfully accom
plished, and they found the distance to be
4,427 feet. This includes bridging
across several tow-heads where the work
will be light. The turn outs can be
constructed on the islands. The amount
of bridging slightly exceeds the estimate,
but as a considerable portion can be light,
the board believes they can keep within
the sum voted for the purpose. It is
earnestly hoped that the bridge can be
constructed before cold weather, but if it
is some lively work will be necessary.
A Team Stolen.
The most daring and so far successful
case of horse stealing it has been our
duty to chronicle took place in this city
Friday evening last Prof. Langford,
county superintendent, was attending the
meeting of the Oxford League at the
Methodist church, and he hitched his
horses attached to the buggy to a post
opposite the church. Between 8 and 9
o'clock some one deliberately unhitched
the team and drove away with the whole
outfit The discovery that th6 team was
gone was made soon after and search was
at once instituted. The sheriff was at
once notified and the search was kept up
all night, but no trace of "the team was
discovered. It is likely the thief struck
out north or south, keeping away from
the telegraph stations, and as the horses
are very fast travelers he could be fifty
miles away by daylight. Extraordinary
efforts are being made to find the team,
and we sincerely hope they will bo
successful. Elsewhere will be found a
description of the horses.

In an item last week we stated that
"a recent shipment of butter by the
creamerv on arrival in New York did
not come up to the standard of excellence
desired, the inspectors claiming that the
packages had imparted an unpleasant
flavor." This was not quite correct.
Only a portion of the tubs bad imparted a
taste to the butter, lhe returns stated
that the butter was very nicely packed
and was first class In every respect. With
the exception of a few tubs it went on the
market as A No. 1. However the inten
tion of the article was not to do the
creamery an injustice, but to show that
the company by adopting new packages
was determined that not even a few tub3
should have a bad taste.

Prof. HunJllaeiewiP ' reading,

has by hid thorduglry;?ra'"sSeted princi
ples of education, shown to the teachers
that all is not gold that glitters, and ail is
not grammar because some one has said
so. He has presented grammar to the
teachers in a light, we believe altogether
new to the most of them. And the suh
ject of reading he has taken up in a form
both interesting and instructive. He has
emphatically impressed upon the miuds
of the teachers, that good reading is good
articulation, inflection, pitch, em phasis
and proper pauses, and they are to be
acquired by thorough study and practice
Prof Hunt is well known throughout; the
state, and richly" merits all that can be
said in his favor as an instructor. He is
a very enthusiastic worker, and Seems
never to tire of the work he has iu baud.
The choice of Prof. Hunt, shows excellent
good judgment on the part of our
superintendent
Miss .Mary Hosford, one of the instruc
tors last year, took charge of numbers
orthography, and botany. She is a very
pleasant instructor and shows, "ny her
methods, that she has made a very
thorough study of the work outlined for
the institute.
Prof. F. W. Robbins took charge of
geography in the first division, and
physiology in the second. He is an
earnest worker and has, by his genial
manner, and pleasant way of impart in"-
instruction, won me respect or ail the
teachers.
Miss Mell Forsythe took the subject of
geography in the second division, and, bv
her very agreeable way of instructing,
gave it a brushing up that was satisfac
tory to the teachers.
Mr. J. G. Beeler, instructor in history
and civil government in the second divis
ion, has proved himself conversant with
the subjects and has placed them before
his class in a very pleasuut and interesting
manner.
Prof. R. H. Langford, our Superinten
dent, and with whom all iu the county
are more or less acquainted, aud with
whom the teachers are all well acquain
ted, took upon himself the duties of in
structor in physiology, history, civil gov
ernment, algebra and didactics in the first
division, and numbers, orthography and
didactics in the second, division. He is a
very energetic and able man. Nothinir
can be said in his favor, couferniug thia
work, which he does not -richly merit.
He, as county superintendent, has also
had an excellent opportunity, outside of
examination, to judge of the qualifica
tions ot the teachers. All in all, Prof.
Langford has been the right mau in the
right place.
There have been a great many visitors
and we believe that, with a few excep
tions, they will heartily agree to the fact
that the institute has been a model one.
The instructors have showu a very thor
ough study of the work outlined and
the teachers have been very prompt in
attendance, no tardiness to interrupt the
general work. In fact everything in
connection with their work at the insti
tute has shown a very deep and lively in
terest, worthy of commendation to the
school boards of the connty.
tord made all necessary
for the necessary conveniences of the
teachers and we believe they are unani
mous in their thanks to him."
The amount of work involved in mak
ing this institute a success has been very
great, but we feel safe in saying that it
has, through the work of the instruc
tors employed and the prepara
tions made by the Superintendent, been
equal to any ever held in the slate of Ne
braska. Persons interested in educational
matters will do well to note the history of
the institute work done in this county
and the progresslt has made.

Wallace Herald.
For an airy, light, flippant notice of our
county teachers institute, we commend
the above to the people of Lincoln county.
Its object is to magnify Mr. Beeler's
services and belittle those of Supt. Lang
ford. Mr. Beeler is teaching history and
civil government ; Mr. Langford is "setting
up physiology and bones." It is true Mr.
Langford taught physiology and illus
trated his lessons with boues", but he also
taught several other studies numbers,
didactics, algebra, history, civil govern
ment, orthography and primary work.
"The city dads are doing themselves proud these
days in their effort to give the city what it needs
more than anything else at the present a fire
alarm. Acting under interaction from the coun
cil, Chief McCabc invited T. J. Polglaee, manager
of the Inter State Fire Alarm Co., to visit the city
and explain their system. Mr. Polglase came
Monday and as there was no quorum at the
council, a special meeting will be held this after
noon. X fire alarm is all that the city government
needs with the efficient department to afford ample
protection from fire, and we should have it The
Richmond non-interfering system is the most
perfect yet gotten out, and is in successful opera
tion in Omaha, and Grand Island in this state and
in other promiucnt cities iu the Union. An alarm
may be turned on at every box at once but the
register will record each one without a mistake.
The system is costly but cheap when considered
what a loss by fire and the time to conquer a fire
is in the fiast ten minutes. The Telegraph has
repeatedly urged that a system be had and we are !
soon to get one. Telegraph." j
Are the "city dads'' doing themselves
proud by running the city a thousand
aonars iu uent for an expensive!
and unnecessary luxury when this vear's
levy did not pay last years bills by over
$5Q0? Are the "-city dads" doing them
selves proud by creating an expenditure of
over 1,000 per year iu excess of thet
highest possible receipts? In our present 1
financial condition the proposed fire
alarm system is a luxury and should uot
be indulged in until other debts are paid.
At present taxpayers appear to be quite
indiifrent, but now is the time to object.
Next year the assessors will probably
place valuations relatively much hiirher
than the past, and if the council makes
the levy up to the full limit there will be
some loud howlintr. but the tax must be
paid all the same.
