A hoodlum who goes to church for no other purpose than to create a dis turbaace ought to be taken by the knape or the neck, , his heels cracked together and his soul and body con signed to the street by way of the front bannisters.

' If you are in the habit of taking newspapers from the poitofllee which are addressed to you but not marked as "sample copies," don't be surprised if you should receive a notioe to pay for them. The proper way to do is to refuse all papers sent to you that you do not want, unless they are marked "sample copies." Congressman J F Boyd is winning honors in the balls of congress, as is shown by the following special in the Omaha Daily Bee, of February 10th: "Congressman Boyd, in the faee of strenuous opposition, won a vietory today by having his amendment ap propriating 112,000 to rebuild the bridge aoross tbe Niobrara river con necting the town of Niobrara with the Santee agency incorporated in the In dian appropriation bill.' Congress man Hinshaw, member of the Indian affairs cammitteo of the house, offered Judge iioyd's amendment, against whieh a point of order was made by Chairman Sherman of the coruiuitteu. Mr Sherman reserved the point of or der that Judge Boyd might explain the conditions which prompted the amendment. And this tbe representa tive of the Third district did in a manner that won him friends. While liia speech was short, it was entirely omprehensive to the extent that it satisfied the chairmaa of the commit tee and he withdrew the objection which be had made against the amend ment, even though it was new legisla tion. It was Judge Boyd'a maiden ffort, and what U more to the pniat he won Lis contention 1 Items of Interest , from our Exchanges Fender Republics: A W Andersen was a visitor at Dakota City over Sun' day, : Hartington News: Frank Riley re turned to nls borne in Jackson today, after a short visit here with friends.

Tildn Citizen: A few evenings ago whrn the Rev Von Hagen announced his text, which contained the words "mee." and "dogs", he was greeted with heart rending liowN from the throats of a conplo of cauines some where near the church. Ah he occa sionally referred to tho words quqted, .1.1.,. ..l: 1 J iiiu uuwiiuK ueuHiuu more piuiui anil theRt'V Uawk started out to quell the disturbing and unseemly racket. When on tbe sout't side of the church t.lin burking appeared to him to pro crod from tlio south, but 011 going to thiitsideof the edifice the yelping semed shifted to Hie north, (tcing to the west the yelpiug suddenly came from both sides and for a few minutes the reverend gentleman was non-plass-ed. Meanwhile, every ' time tbe preacher reiterated the woid "meet" the whining and yowling gained new energy. At last tbe pastor went into the basement and there found a couple of xpaniel pups that had fallen down a manhole and become prisoners. Thi Rev Von Hagen is inclined to regard the intelligence of these pups which was planly evidenced by their under standing the significance of the word "meet" or "meat" as decidedly super ior to that of editors-and some other people who have not nttendod his in teresting series of discourses. Of course, the fact that the puppies un derstood the import of the preacher's language might be construed variously, but the Rev Von Hageu is a jolly, genial follow and can enjov a joke even when he, himself, is the victim.
