If the report we hear concerning a
certain man in this town is true , there
is great necessity for a vigilance com
mittee to do some quiet , but effective
work. The matter ought to be investi
gated in justice to all parties concerned.
If the statements made are true , the
public ought to be aware of the man's
character , if on the other hand , the
statements are false , this fact ought to
be made known , in justice to the man.
Allow us to reiterate our advice of a
few months since. When you want any
thing in the way of real estate , go to le
gitimate dealers. Never fail to avoid
the irresponsible and frequently disrep
utable characters , who button-hole
everyone at the depot and street corners.
There are a number of these parties
operating in this vicinity at presentand
we caution all to avoid them. Yon can
mark many by the blossom that doth
adorn their nasal appendages.

of limpid school-fund liquid , became
profane and obscene of speech in front

man's request , was promptly slugged in
the neck. Enyeart was taken home by
his father , and no arrest was made.
JUSTICE COLVIN'S COURT Charles
Kirchuer , a young man from Bawlins

Agent's office , in the act of breaking '
open a box of jumbles and appropriating
the same , while in a box car in the com
pany's yard at this place , last Saturday.

and costs. * * Jerry Desmond , a plain
drunk , was arrested , the same day , and
fined $1 and costs.

The brick buildings of Messrs. Pate
and Kendall now in course o erection
on Main Avenue were somewhat injured
by the heavy rain of Tuesday morning.
No precautions having beenttaken , the
rain poured into the cellar to such a
depth as to cause the foundation to sink
in places , thereby cracking the walls ,
which had already reached the first sto
ry. Upon closer investigation , however ,
it was found that the wallsvere not as
seriously damaged as at first supposed ,
and the same , luckily for all parties
concerned , were repaired at a nominal
cost.

It is with more than ordinary pleas
uro and satisfaction that we note th
success of the county institute , whicl
opened at Indianola , Monday , July Oth
and continued in session two weeks
During the session , lectures were dcliv
ered by the following gentlemen : On
the Oth by Prof. Valentine of Nebraska
City , subject , "books. " The prof esso
handled the subject in an entirely origi
nal and satisfactory manner. Drl Thornp
son of the M. E. school * at York ad
dressed the institute on the5thsubject
"higher education , " in a manner which
demands its "meed of praise. " On the
evening of the 16th , Chancellor Manat
of the University addressed the meet
ing on , "the aims , conditions , etc. , o !
the State University. " The Chancellor's
remarks were limited , but pointed am
practical , and raised the University
very materially in the estimation o :
those present. Regret was freely ex
pressed that the Chancellor's stay was
of necessity so short. Dr. Hicks also
of the University supplemented the
Chancellor's remarks with an excellen
and interesting address , subject , "a day
at Oxford. " Prof. Hicks needs no in
troduction or encomiums at our hands ,
as he is recognized as being pre-eminenl
in his specialty in this country. Prof
Clarendon of the Fremont entertainec
and instructed all by a lecture on the
subject of education , Friday. On last
Thursday evening , the citizens of the
county-seat tendered the members anc
instructors a reception , and we desire to
add our congratulations to the promo
ters of the same , in common with those
who enjoyed it , upon the success at
tending. ' Speeches were made by Sen
ator Dolan and Mr. Peterman , with re
sponses by Prof. Valentine and Co. Supt
Nettleton. The occasion will be re
membered with pleasure. On the 17th
the regular examinations were held , by
the Co. Supt. In addition to the above
lectures , the pleasure and profitableness
of the institute was largely augmented
by the labors of Prof. Webster of our
city , and Mrs. 0. L. Nettleton. In con-
elusion and in summing up the matter ,
the institute was a marked success , and
a credit to our Co. Supt. and all con
cerned therein. The following conven
tional resolutions were adopted by the
institute :

pitality extended to us by the Sargent and in-
diauola hotels.
RESOLVED , That the citizens 9f Indianola
are to be congratulated upon their success in
providing a reception for the members of the
institute. The spirit which gave rise to the
occasion was a significant expression of their
interest in educational progress , and demon
strates the fact that patriotism and sterling
citizenship are the results of the education
of the masses. We hereby express our a ] > -
preciation of their courtesy and wish them
to realize that the occasion will not be for
gotten.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED , That a copy of
these resolutions be sent to the Red "Wmow
