"Katie McXeiL" the after-piece produced by the cMIdren, was also good.

A very large and withal a delighted audience greeted Boland Eeed and his company Wednes day evening.

Engineer Mclntire has a force all ready to begin work on the Sioux City & Denver line as soon as the party can "be crossed from this city to the Nebraska shore. The party will begin on the line run last fall, at a point midway between Jackson and 3Iartins6urg. and run lines west to the central parTof Dixon, south end of Cedar, and north tier of Pierce counties connecting with last season's line at a point in Antelope county.

Tne Loan and Bnflrifng Association. The adjourned meeting at the court house Thursday evening to complete the formation of a Loan and Building Associa tion waslargely attended. The" constitu tion and by-laws were adopted Articles of incorporation were filed yesterday. The officers will not be elected until the regular meeting of the association. IVIr. S. Goozee was elected temporary secretary and authorized to receive the initiatory fee of 25c per share. Two hundred and twenty shares have been subscribed, each share representing $200. The followins are the incorporators: T. C. Patterson, J. W. Roach C. H. Stamp, J. 31. Rannie, T. J. Kelly, F. Reardon, G. 31. Finn, John HawleyC. F Iddings, V. Yan Goetz. The capital stock of the concern is fixed at $400,000, 2,000 shares of $200 each. The officers consist of nine directors, from whom the president and vice president are chosen, and a secretary and treasurer chosen from the members. The association shall continue for fifteen years. The by-laws provide that on each share of stock the shareholder shall pay $1 per month until the stock of the association has reached a value of $200 per share. The annual meeting of the association shall be on the 4th "Saturday in 3Earch, and the monthly meeting on the 4th Sat urday of each month. Loans will be made in sums of not less than $200 and not more than $1000 to the member en titled thereto offering the largest premium therefor, the interest to be 6 per cent per annnm Any stockholder who has not received a loan or whose loan has been paid, may withdraw from the association, after the" first year, provided that at no time more than one-half of the funds in the treasury shall be appropriated for this purpose at any one time. Each share is entitled to only one loan until all mem bers of the association who desire loans have been accommodated. Under the workings of the system it is estimated the borrower will get his loan practically free of interest, provided of course he don't pay too high a premium. County Roads. In former times when land was cheap and inhabitants few and far between, comparatively little attention was given to roads or the location thereof. Usual ly they were laid out without reference to section lines, following natural routes. (This is by far the best way in the estima tion of the TribT3E, being more accom modating and making a common center ranch nearer and easier of access.) The necessity for roads being remote, large tracts were enclosed with fences leaving no roads,or perhaps making gates to admit the passage, of the occasional traveler. But things" have changed and are chang ing still." The tflier of the soil has corne and he demands routes of ingress and e'eress to and from his home. Where the pioneer cattleman never dreamed roads would be wanted now thev are a necessity but the owner of the land does not pro pose that they shall be opened unless he is well paid for the virgin soil he has to yield for public use. Not only does he want pay in good round numbers for the land taken but his property is greatly damaged. Then he has to move his fence and that is expensive. Taken al together the laying out of roads is now quite an expensive item, the claims for damages, etc now on file with the county clerk'amounting to $6,227. One man wants about $300 for one mile of road, another claims nearly $2,000, this one being for several miles. The more modest ones claim about $50 for a quarter of a mile. There is one thing about th?g road busi ness that is peculiar. Everybody seems to be damaged by roads. A man seems to be willing enough to use a road through his neighbor's land, which has been great ly benefitted By that road, but when it comes to giving a right of way through his own property the benefit is as "a needle's eye completely hidden by the mountain,of damage, "it makes a "great difference whene ox is gored. Roads are necessary for the public good. All are benefitted. Its accessibility is what makes Ltnd valuable. Without means of getting out and in, land is comparatively worthless- To put this to a practical test. let the commissioners vacate some of the roads leading to the land that is going to be so badly damaged by the proposed roads. Then would the county have its bands full of damage suits instituted by these same men.

Editor Tkibujte: A bad habit alto together too prevalent among the wor shipers in some of our churches is that of coming in late to the service. In some few cases, perhaps, charity must make excuses on the score of domestic exigency, in the great majority of cases charity it self, if" truthful as well as loving, could cive no other reason for such dilatory ap pearances than slothfulness, laziness or very bad management. Eleven o'clock is not such a very early hour m tne fore noon, it is not essentially necessary, though it is undoubtedly comfortable, that breakfast should be an hour or two hours later on Sunday than any other morning. If people want more sleep let them go to bed earlier Saturday night. In ninety nine cases out of a hundred there is no good reason why the hearers should not be quietlv seated in their pews five min utes before the hour appointed, when, of course, the preacher should set a good ex ample by appearing promptly. Five minutes too soon is not too early, out two minutes after the service has begun is al together too late. The habit which some people have of regularly coming in late is not only a disturbance to tne minister and the congregation, but it savors quite stronclv of irreverence. Yours truly, A Worshipper.
