What makes a town, ajiyway? Is it the wealth evidenced by fine homes and splendid store build ings? These may attest the stability and thrift of certain peo ple, but they offer no great in ducement, to commercial and moral progress. Is it the spirit of good order and law observance? That, is a factor only. The sleepiest old hamlets that dot the map have this spirit in rank arid abundance. Is sit the schools and churches? May their number ever increase, but t hey don't, make a town, I hey only cultivate it,. Is it. the geog raphical location, the character of the country surrounding it, the shipping facilities, the natural advantages? None of these is an essential. Well, what is it that makes a town anyway? Just, one thing the unity of the people, the ex istence of a common bond which causes business enemies to put, aside all differences when it conies to boosting a town. No town ever made real progress on the way to substantial success without the get together spirit unanimously adopted. It has rejuvenated old hulks of towns that were yawning their way into endless sleep. It has infused new blood into the heart of commer cial life and made thriving cities out of paralytic villages. Natural advantages count for much and prosperity cannot be built on shifting sand, but any town with half a chance can be made to grow and expand and thrive when its citizens join with one accord in the boosting pro gram. A Great Help to Farmers. Mr. A. J. Uuss of Omaha, rep resenting the Independent Har vester company of Piano, Illinois, was in the cily this week in I he interest of his company. This is one of the largest institutions of its character in the United Stales and deals directly with those who are interested in the articles manufactured by this company the farmer. 1 lie com pany manufacturers every article of machinery used in farming, and their mode of doing business is of advantage to every farmer. The company is principally made up of farmers, who take $100 slock each, which guarantees every such stockholder goods at 5 per cent discount, besides their stock percentage. The proposition is a fair one and several of our substant ial farmers have subscribed slock, and Mr. Nuss will be hero again Monday to induce others to go into the arrangement. A supply depart ment will be established at Oma ha, and probably a supply branch in Plattsmouth. Pleasant Time at Travis Home. From Saturday's Dally.

From Saturday's Jially. Yesterday evening shortly aft er, (5 o'clock a stranger in the city called at the millinery store of Mrs. Norton for the purpose of selecting and buying a new bon nnet for his wife. ' He found the new piece of lady's headgear that he thought to be the very article that would appeal to the eye of his better half. As he requested Mrs. Norton to wrap the new bat up, he just discovered that he had no money, and asked if a check would be accepted as payment, and as tho hat was valued at $3 he made the check out for $6 and Mrs. Norton gave him the balance in cash. He signed his name as Larson, and no sooner had he left the building than Mrs. Norton called up the banker at his residence to ascertain if such a man had any money on deposit at that bank, and to her surprise, found that her suspicions .were true, he was unknown. The police were im mediately notified of the transac tion and took up the trail, but the fellow seemed to have found a cavity in the earth and completely disappeared, and up to the present time has not heen seen.
