The national law regulating the na
turalization of aliens becomes effec
tive on the 29th of this month. The
new law makes many changes in the
mode of naturalization and it would
be well for any contemplating becom
ing a naturalized citizen to visit the
ollicc of the clerk of the district court
and obtain the needed information.
The provisions of the new law are too
numerous for us to attempt to pub
lish them. The national government,
through the department of commerce
and labor, will have direct supervision
of the naturalization of aliens. Among
other things, aliens will be required
to give ninety days notice before they
can get their final papers.

ganize a public ownership club. The

were once wont to draw the crowds
i like magic. And of these were some
J who went as spectators. M. F. Har
rington, Art Mullen, Sam Eves et al.

spirits. A committee was made up,
at least one member of which
will not be a voter for some
years to come yet, to solicit

Tlie removal of an old land mark
that has stood just north of town for
many years is the cause of a suit
wherein Joseph W. Blabon, a nonresi
dent, is plaintiff and Thomas N. J.
Hynes, Henry 0. Gllg, William Fallon
and Joel McEvony are named as de
fendants. The suit is docketed in
district court, but owing to the ab
sence of both district judges a tem
porary injunction was obtained be
fore the county judge. Mr. Blabon
Claims ownership to two acres of land
with the buildings thereon where the
Hynes family have made their home
for the past twenty-live years. Accord
ing to the plaintiff’s petition Mr.
Hynes has purported to sell the house
to Henry 0. Gilg and the same was be
ing removed from the premises into
town when suit was begun by Mr.
Blabon, through Attorney Dickson, to
prevent the removal of the house. An
injunction was granted by Judge Ma
lone restraining the parties from re
moving the house.
“Do you know, bretliern, that we
hang our hollyhocks of applause on the
necks of a good many false alarms?”
asks a contemporary. “We are fooled
lots of times by personal advertise
ments and our cheers ring out for base
counterfeits. Who are our Good
Samaritans? Not the ones, I trust,
whose labors go on parade with a brass
band accompaniment. No. We Und
the work of Good Samaritan hidden
behind the veil of modesty. Whose
hand is it that caresses the fevered
brow and causes a smile to light up the
wan and wasted face? Whose step is
heard across the threshold of the home
sobbing beneath its cloud of disgrace?
Whose voice is it that sings in the low
ly cottage the song that cheers the
washerwoman to the end? Who is it
that ministers in the sickroom through
long hours of the night until the sun
grows red at the east, while death
peers in at the widow? You know of
a few such humble instruments of
God, do you not? I do. They are the
ones to wear the laurel wreaths—to be
our lieutenant generals—for peace
hath its victories no less renowned
than war. Our lieutenant generals
are so modest, so retiring, so humble
that the world in its mad march passes
them by without saluting. I don’t
know what is in store Over Yonder for
you or for me, but I’ve got a pretty
good idea of what is waiting for the
lieutenant general. Then, company
attention, salute your lieutenant gen
eral before she has unfurled her ban
ner beyond Jordan’s stormy banks.”
Passing of a Pioneer.
Darwin J. Sparks died at his home
south of this city on Saturday last at
the age of sixty-nine years, after an
illness of several weeks. The funeral

pioneers of this community and was
known by all the old settlers. He was
a native of New York, in which state
he was born on March 24, 1837. His
death is a double affliction to the wi
dow and other friends as about a
month ago their daughter, Mrs. Thom

On September 6th, a meeting of the
county superintendents was held in
the model school room on the state fail
grounds for the purpose of discussing
the needs and possibilities of securing
a permanent educational building.
Two years ago when the educational
department was established a small
portion of mercantile hall furnished a
sufficient amount of space necessary
for the exhibit. This year half of the
same hall was donated, but the space
was not sufficient for the ex
hibit,! on account of having
had a much larger display.
The prize offered by us for a collec
tion of the greatest variety of Holt
county grasses will be awarded to two
districts,No. 158 in Stuart township,
and No. 234 in Sheridan and Green
Valley township. One of these dis

other'87, the prize will be a live dol
lar library to each district.
