Let the par- tie! concerned come together and set tla hv arhitratioa if br no other tans. It seems altogether cruel to keep the child in such a state of ag it atian. Truly she may inquire "under which fag." The news of the safe arrival at the Azores of the passengers and crew of the abandoned steamer, Danmark, re lieves no little anxiety. For nearly two weeks the fate of the four hun dred souls on board that vessel was wrapped in mystery. Happily the fears entertained that one and all had found a watery grave turn out to be false, and anxiety has given way to joy in thousands of households.

King for forgery and obtaining money nn der false pretenses. He passed i check, forged on Lee Hartley Co., to Jaek Doud on Thursday, and yes terday he went to the Continental clothing house, and bought goods to the amount of $111.60 and gave in payment a worthless cheek on the Merchanta' National bank. He next induced Samuel Gamble to cash ano ther worthless check for him for $10. The man King, at oat time worked for the Herald and other printing of fices, lie has probably left the city as no trace of him can be found. This is not the irst time he has been charged with such tricks as related above, but each time he has escaped punishment by some lucky scratch. Republican. There has been a general kiok sent up by the people over the extrava gant manner in dishing up positions for numerous office seekers in the city, some of whom have hardly lived in the eity long enough to acquire a residence. Instead of keeping salar ies up to a high point they should have been cut down at least $1000. The people will not stand so much foolishness always. Patience will cease to be a virtue in the sweet sub sequently if not sooner. caatit auwan. It has just been learned that a company of Missouri Pacific engin eers passed trough Lincoln today en route for Superior, where a survey will be commenced for a new brancn of this railway system. The company were moring under inatruetiona from Engineer McDonald and it is safe to say that it means business for that part of the state. It is distinotly given out that the Missouri facile folks will not remain idle during the present season The road has evidently entered the state to grow up with the country. Bee. It will be seen that railroad Bros- pects still mean a boom far Superior, and a branch of the Missouri Pacific from Superior to some other point is completed. . This will undoubtedly WaralH Yaaws Xem. Just over the line in Kansas an unfortunate Beacdict has applied for a divorce upon the grounds that arc. to say the least, norel. He has been married only five months, but he says they have been long and weary months to him and that he can en dure them no longer, fie says that hia troubles mainly arises from the faet that his wife positively refuse? to cut her toe nails. This serious charge and if the divorce is granted it will be a lesson to the young women, that they will do well to heed This poor man says that he is scarred from the small of his back to his heels by her, who only five months ago promised to love, honor and obey him. He has repeat edly asked her to hive her toe nails cut, but she has turned a deaf ear to all of his entreaties. Certainly there ia nothing pleasant when one is sleep ing peacefully to have a toe nail rake a man from Genesis to Revelation, and any jury would grant the request of the plaintiff. Girls vho are to enter the solemn state of matrimony should see to it that their toe nails are cut, aa there can be no happiness where the nail which never sleeps gallops at the dead hour of night when church yards yawn. Mothers should inculate the virtue of short toe nails into the minds of their daughters. cive Suoerior a division and add ma xne rouowing is an amended Bec-iteri- to th, business interests of lion of the law relating to chattel I the city.

Superior Headlight. The ltath Aalvcrwr. The one hundredth anniversary of the inauguration of George Washing tsn as president ot the United States was a gloriously patriotic day all over the country. In every town and hamlet some exercise big or small took plaee denoting that all American hearts respond to patriotism and love of country as they did in the primi tive days of the republic. The day was isnercd in, in Red Cloud by clanging of bells, roaring of canon, and the blowing of steam whistles, and a general holiday was the resalt. 100 years ago not much of thi vast country had been trodden by the white man, west of Pennsylvania. The fertile plains reaching three thousand miles west were supposed to be worthless, the people were what we would call slow, the stage coach and the canal boat were the great sources of travel. Today the change is wonderful and almost beyond the immagiaatiob of man. However, time liea as swift as an arrow, and We effort of man to improve his . surroundings, has caused a change, that would be indeed surpris ing fo the great Washington could he be permitted to take a look upon this beloved country today.

Died, at the residence of her fa ther, near Flint Lake, Miss Kittie Maxwell, on Saturday evening, March 31, 1889. She was born in this county, Jan. Jst 1865, and while yet quite a small child emigrated with her parents te Nebraska, settling first at Fort Calhoun, and then later on a farm near Red Cloud, in the same state. She grew up to be a bright, energetic girl of great force of character, and occupied in the family tho relation of one councilcd with as an equal and companion rath er than a child. As an illustration of her self reliance and canacitv to win in the battle of life, hc located, and proved up a claim, distant from her home, requiring her personal resi dence; also took the preliminary steps for the claim, which she was able as a dying request to leave to the advantage of her family. Indeed it might be truly said, her life was one of self abnegation for others. Her final sickness contracted in car ing for one who was helpless and un- befriended. The family returned to Indiana in the spring of 1S33. She has been failing in health for some time, but kept about the hsuse almost to the last, at times suffering much from coughing and prostration. She died in a sweet and truthful hope in her Savior's work in her behalf, and leaves to her family and friends the memory of a high purposed and emi nent life, faithful as a child, true as a friend, and noble as to womanly in stincts and christian eharacter. The funeral was conducted at her home in the presence of a large gathering of friends by Rev. S. X. Willson, and she was committed to her peaceful rest in the new cemetery, life's weary pathway ended, the glories of the bet ter life begun. Valparaiso. (Ind.) Videttc. Tfce Bella Clip.
