Pine has been seriously ill with rheumatism for two or three days, but is now much better. The social given by the ladies of St. Luke's guild at Mrs. Elsou's last Thurs day evening was fairly attended notwith standing the rain. The rain last Thursday night was a welcome break in the drouth, but it was followed up by a return of such hot weather that more rain is needed at once. Sam. Ilolloway has taken the place of W. II. ltussell who was night watch man on the bridge here. Russell has gone to Ashland as watch of the bridge there. , There would be no danger of a bread famine if the sweat of one's brow would produce it.

He leaves for the east Sunday to complete his purchases of fall and winter goods. Mr. II. II. Geigcr, a brother-in-law of Mr. B.

Residence on Elm street between Tenth and Eleventh. No for tunes told Sundays. 21-tf Last Monday forenoon the w'histle at the canning factory blew for hands, and the boys took it for a fire alarm, and the "White hose company got out in good time. In whistling hereafter for hands care should be taken not to whistle so near like a fire alarm. Drury Graves got himself into troub le one day last week by imbibing too freely of anti-prohibition and was taken into custody and fined fifteen dollars and costs, for being drunk and disorderly and carrying concealed weapons, in de fault of payment of which he was sent to languish in jail. Henry Schrceder the man held for horse stealinsr who was brought back from St. Paul last week by Sheriff Eiken bary was brought up in Judge Russell' court Tuesday and bound over to the next term of court. There were four charges preferred against him and he was bound over on each one of them. In one in the sum of $1,000 and in the sum of $500 on each of the others, making $2300 in alL In default of sureties he was sent to the countv iail. He errew tired of fasting on last Friday and has been eat ing heartily since. He would evidently be willing to live now if he could get out of the law's clutches. The trial was well attended, the court room bcinj thronged with farmers and others. Shroc der's wife was present; she is a pleasant rather nice appearing woman, and looked quite out of place sitting beside the prison er. The Plattsmouth Herald has prom ised to give the citizens of that city a good live daily paper as soon as they re ceive patronage enough to warrant them success in their undertaking. Now is the time for the Plattsmouth merchants to begin to " boom " the Heuald as the Knotts Bros, will give them the best daily ever published in the city. Why do they stand back ? They have every thing now that it takes to make a city with the exception of some good daily papers. A city with the business that Plattsmouth has that can't support two good daily papers is surely weak in the upper story from some cause or other. Louisville Observer.

Anurcss Carnival or Tsovelties is the amusement attraction for the coin ing week. It is a tent show that comes well advertised and will remain three days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, next week, and will probably draw large crowds. It is more of a magician's show than anything else, but they have some well trained animals and some excellent gymnastics. Come one, come all, is their invitation to the public whom they promise to delight and entertain. The police gathered in one Pat Kel ly for being drunk and bumming around town begging dimes and the like. Yes terday morning he was brought up before Judge Mathews, where he plead guilty to the charge of being drunk and did not know what lie might have done while in that state. He was fined five dollars and costs in default of payment of which he went to jail. He said if the judge would suspend the sentence ten minutes he would get out of town, but the judge evidently thought a little while in jail might do him good for he declined to set him free on those terms.

It was then known that she was probably near the end of her life journey, but for a few days after the performance of the mar riage ceremony she seemed so earnest in her desire to live and so hopeful that she might recover that her family and friends came to share in that hope. But they were not long permitted to enjoy it, and on Monday morning the angel of death came and her spirit took its flight, leav ing her husband, family and friends to mourn after her. The funeral took place from the M. E. church on Tuesday ofter noon. Mrs. Smart was not quite 22 years of age, and her death was caused by consumption. A Little Pistol Practice, Frank Morrison who has been night watch at the jail indulged in a little pis tol practice Sunday night that has justly cost him his job. It seems that about 12 o'clock he was reading aloud and this disturbed the prisoners who wanted to sleep, but he would not at their request stop his reading so they thought as noise was in order they would take a hand and they began clapping their hands, stamp ing on the floor and raising a racket gen erally. It was now Morrison's turn to grow wrathy and he walked up to the bars of the cage and fired his revolver through into the midst of the prisoners, the ball struck the iron plate about four feet high and rebounding struck Frank VjlJiams, a prisoner from Veeping Water, in the cajf of the leg. but as the ball was well spent, not Uh sufficient force to do serious injury.

The Rescues making good time but losing time at the coup ling. The teams that made the tie run it off Tuesday evening when it was won by the F. M. Richey in 23 seconds. The F. E. White team made an excellent run but had neglected to unfasten the strap that is used support the hose and so los much time and had no show ior the race. The race was 100 yarls, to lay a hundred feet of hose and throw water through it. The Richey team did finely and deserved the congratulations they received.

Council aeljourned. Tho Value of a Colleio Education. The ncwly-fh'dged college graduate has now been fluttering about the country for about a month. The old question as to the value of a college education in the actual ti flairs of the world will be;;n to assume a personal interest for him. lie has hitherto treated it lightly, called it an old "chestnut" with the complacency of youthful inexperience, and considered too absurd for serious eonside-ratieii. That anyone should doubt the efficacy of a college education, only showed to him that there is still much ignorence in the world which it will be his task, perhaps, to dispel. But during the past month his eyes have begun to open in some astonish ment, lie has run against snags that jared his brain into an unwonted train of thought. The value of a college education to any man must depend almost altogether upon his character and the calling he means to pursue; upon the object he has in life. If this is mainly to make a liv ing, to take a definite place in the busi ness enterprises or the political evolutions in his daily life, the cduc ation he may have acpuired in college will be of no material benefit to him. On the other hanel, if he has the capacity to become a prominent figure in affairs e ither national or local, a college eelucation, e very kiuel of an eelucation will aid him. Many sneer at a college learning on general principles, but this is no wiser than to form unreasonable expectations or make unreasonable cb-ims because of college training. Lincoln might perhaps have been stronger than he was in some re spects had his early advantages been bet ter. There was nothing to indicate that Clay was weakened because he was a col lege man. The main thing is the. character that dominates the man. It 'n well known that you cannot make a wise man of a fool by shooting him through a college' institution from a financial catapult. The strong nature will force irs way forward I to recognition and a lie-finite place in life be it through college or through the rude surroundings of a pioneer life. A college education will aiel such a nature. The instruction and experience that a man gains at our educational institutions are not calculated in Huso times to aid him to an immediate d upon the ae- tive affairs of life. The time s.-cms even to have come when !!:: j.ossesion of a college sheepskin u a detriment to him. It has been proved that the graduate must go through a course of special train ins before he is fit for any special l.o.-ition. just as finyoue clsa must. lb-nee his ex- pectation to step right into the promin- w . 1. J . ent places at once is treated with con- tempt. It is a sign of the times w hen ad vertisements appear announcing that tli college graduate need not apply. The fact is that American "0;iefrC edu cation leaves a man, moet c;i!?tp i;llf educated but V'v,,.nir grappling wjth llie stc.rn proMes Gf ex '"it-ncc. But perhaps our institutions of learning and those who attend them, are not wholly to blame for thi?. The ten- S 1 SsSUI U Ji t -s n .1 S R i! E Kid m r; .-J ri r--' mrn.

Our ancestors looked upon existence here on earth as a matter of su preme iinpoitciice. Whatever exist seemed to them fixed by the decrees of heaven. A man born in t he humbler ranks of life con sidered himself plan il and he. there bv the ruler of the uuuer.-i accepted the toil, the privations of his life, as an allotment to him from all eter nity, from which he had no business to try to escape. Life was real, earnest, of infinite impotanco. The sentiment now is that life is not worth living. Let us get rich as soon as we' can, by any means, and puss through it. as comfortably as possible. So none now becomes an apjn ntice, or takes, years of pains to make himself qualified for the calling he wishes lo follow. The" world is full of young men hunting about for a "soft sua;)," and existence has be come a universal scramble, without elig niiy, repose or comfort. In this scramble college education is of little avail as a means to attain most of the ends of life.
