Mile Warren of liellwood to suc

of the soldiers' and sailors' home at
Grand Island. The recommenda
tion which prohaMy had greatest
weight with the governor was that
Mr. Warren cast his first vote for
Jaiius K. I'olk and ha heeii
voting the democratic ticket ever
since.
In addition to the above heads of
departments the governor appoint
ed J. S. Kittle of Seward to he depu
ty oil inspector at that place in
stead of J. I'.. Cai ns. I'hilip Andres
of Omaha ha been appointed com
missioner of lal or and census .sta

touched, and the State Journal
seemed to think the republican in
cumbent of the stewardship miht
be satisfactory to the democratic
governor.
As there arc a few more plums
left, in reach of hi excellency we
may expect to see them drop within
the next two or three days.
Lightning at Greenwood.
During the rain of Monday nilit

this place, by striking the barn of
II. M. Petin, killing eitdit head of
horses theriu and a valuable colt
that was forty feet iiwny, rendering
a loss to the owner of about ifTOO.
There wa a partial insurance on
the barn but none on the stock. Mr.

he was away with one team or he

The Covnernor's Stafi.
The staff of Governor Boyd was
announced yesterday morning. It
is made tip a follows: William A.

commissary-general with the rank
of colonel; John K. Summers, stir-

Dakota City, V. II. Covrgill of Hoi

Our own Colonel Sherman was
not in it, his recent flop did not
count. But the bad bad man Sher
man used to point out as the worst
ofrepublican villains Mr. John C
Watson is honored with one of the
most honorable and important
positions on the staff.. We fear the
influence of our neighbor is not
felt as it should be at tl Capital
City, especially in the office of Gov
ernor Boyd.
A Good Selection.
We learn to-day that the commis
sioners with good judgment have
hired Peter D. Bates to superintend
the erection of the court house from
bottom to top. Mr. Bates is a con
tractor and builder of long experi
ence and will make a most excellent
man for the place. There will be
no shoddy work done under Mr.
Bates' charge, is the general opinion
of the public.
A Fishing Party.

Lieutenant Gopernir Majors has

court. We believe if he had done
so in the i)e:;iii!iiu he would be

logic Mr. Majors has no business t

stealing the governorship, becau.-
in the beginning Majors agreed to
make no efforts to apprehend ttu

is very cruel, especially- if it be

That town may have the king, but

Mayor Adams, it is understood,
will make a complete change in the
official slate. A. P. Woodard has
been invited to accept the position
of city marshal. This appointment
would give excellent satisfaction to
a majority of our people.
A bunch of farmers north of town

endorsement for the new favorite.

Twenty-seven signatures have
been secured to a petition in the

board a chance to show their hand
in the matter. This subject is com

our people may- take a good sized
dose of physic to clear their vision,
which seems to have been im
paired somewhat of late.
Rev. Hindley delivered his famous
lecture entitled "LTse and Abuse of
Humor," at Geneva on Monday eve
ning. This is the same one that
made some of our people sick last
week alter the3r heard it at the Con

ning. This sickness was caused by
too much laugh at the time they
heard it, and the feeling followed
them to their homes, some not be

laugh that wanted to escape from

A Fake Pure and Simple.
Lieutenant Governor Majors ar
rived in the CH3- 3 esterda3- after
noon. He was found at his hotel by
a Journal reporter and when asked
in relation to the dispatch which
appeared in Wednesday's Bee
claiming that he had filed an inter
vendr in the matter of the governor
ship, replied that the dispatch was
a fake, pure and simple, that he was
not even in the cit3r 011 Yed11esda3-
as the dispatch stated he was, nor
had he been for some cla3s, but had
been at his home attending to mat
ters there. As to the editorial in
Wednesda3''s World-Herald, he said
it contained neither facts nor de
ductions drawn from facts, that he
had never agreed with anyone to
waive any rights that accrue to him
b3' a decision of the court in the
matter of Boyd's eligibility to the
office of governor; that he had never
signed an intervenor or authorized
aii3r one to do so for him, and that
as to the 113-phen proving itself an
honored prophet at home, it did
what aii3r man might do who kept
his jaws continual- wagging off
guesses and making up imaginary-
causes to lit them. Lincoln State

Miles Morgan has purchased the

Trivialities.
It is not always easy in any sphere to
discriminate between the trifling and the
momentous. It is often a matter of com
parison, and judgment and experience
are needed in the selection. Trifles are
not to be confounded with details, which
are often most important. Neither are
things necessarily trifling because they
are small. A kind look, a gentle warn
ing, a cordial greeting, a slight service
are sometimes despised as trifles, when
in truth they are signs of a generous and
kindly nature, and cany untold blessings
to their recipients.
Many little things are far more im
portant than what we misscall great
ones: they may indeed be the true reali
ties, while the others may be insignifi
cant. If each one will faithfully examine
the meanings and purposes of the various
spheres in which he moves, and endeavor
conscientiously to make them first in his
heart and life, the trifles will sink into
their proper and subordinate place.
