of boring for natural gas. A company
lias been organized and has got to that
poiut whre most companies fail to put
ting up the money.
House-cleaning is generally in its
height about town now, which doubtless
accounts for the scarcity of tr,amps at the
back doors and married men that "don't
go home to dinner."
- The enterprises now on foot, in this
town, backed by capital and good man
agement, are enough to giye the couG
dence the city deserves to all foreign

providing bread for the suffering pom
said he would contribute to the extent
of ono hundred sacks of flour and one
hundred bushels of meal to each laan

In a recent issue of the Kearney
Enterprise the following notice occurs,
"Mr. T. C. Brainard received a telegram
recently, announcing that his mother
was dying at Sacramento,- Cal. He start
ed for that city, but at Denver was inter
cepted by another telegram announcing
her death. Mr. Brainard's mother was
about seventy years of age and went to
California from Ohio." The deceased,
spoken of in this notice, was a sister of
our worthy and esteemed citizen, C. S.
Twiss.
An interesting and new method of
pulling teeth, which is actually painless,
was thoroughly tested at the office of Dr.
Sallisbury yesterday. Dr. A. S. Billings,
of Omaha, and Dr. Jas. Seinau, of San
Francisco, were conducting the operations,
pulling teeth free of charge, and thor
agblyproving the merits claimed for
thi method. The pain is killed by in
jecting a local anaesthetic into tbe gam
at the roots of the to th and then ex
tracting it. Many citizens were at the
office during tbe day, both young, and
old, small and great, rich and poor, and
Lad "old timers" taken out, and all were
affected alike without pain. Dr. Salis
bury has secured the right to extract
treeth by this painless method, which
will afford a great inducement to those
with jumping achcrs to have them pulled.
The newsrooms of the Young Men's
Christian Association were open last
night for the first time. Though arrange
ments are not yet completed in tho hall,
tbe rooms present a very cheerful and
inviting appearance, and will make very
pltasant headquarters for the association.
A couple of beautiful handpainted pic
tures have been placed on the walls by
Mrs. Ida Wagner, which kindness on the
part of Mrs. Wagner is highly appre
ciated. Bat tbe walls are large enough
to accommodate a number more such
decorations, provided the talented young
ladies of the city are disposed to use
their accomplishment for so good a pur
pose. The first Sanday meetiog will be in
the new hall Sunday, tbe 12th, at 4 p.
m., and will be lead by Rev. Blainy,
president of Bellevua college.

MACHINERY ORDERED
For the Oppcrmann Electris Lamp Manu
facturing Company's Use.
A BUILDING SITE SELECTED
A Suitable Building, Complete in
All Departments, to be Erec
ted for the Factory.
The New Electric Plant.
Yesterday afternoon at the meeting o f
the board of directors of tbe.Oppcrmann
Electric Lamp Manufacturing Company,
held at the offics of Ballou & Browne,
after the election of officer, as aunounced
in last night's Herald, tbe question of
engines and boilers was considered, tbe
Pond Engineering Company of St. Louis
and the Tayor Manufacturing Co., of
Chambersburg, Pa., being represented.
Taylor Bros, were successful and the
directors let the contract to them for two
boilers and two Beck automatic engines,
one an 85 and the other a 73 horse power;
to be ready to ship in two weeks.
To furnish electric power to test and
manufacture the incandescent lamps, five
or six powerful dynamos will be made to
order, specially adapted to this kind of
use, and just as quick as money can
make things go, the electric lamp factory
will be in operation.
TIIE BUILDIHO AND LOCATION.
The building will be a fine brick
structure and tbe location selected is a
choice one. An offer of O. II. Ballou to
donate the company two lots in the west
part of town just across the street from
the old fair ground gate, was accepted.
The building will be 44x05 feet, two
stories hih. and the roof will be made
of iron.
Tbe citizens generally are enthusiastic
oyer the enterprise. Messrs. Ballou and
Oppermann who have carried the scheme
through to a successful "organization
and have it so quickly on the way to the
supplying of tbe mechanical department,
have worked energetically and continu
ally and displayed the business make-up
that does not know the word "impossi
ble" when enterprise is so plainly practi
cable as they see this one to be.
The M. E- Seminary.
Weeping Water Eagle: The initial
movement for this new educational in
stitution in our didst was inaugurated
Honday evening. Bishop Newman, the
famous divine was here to give the mat
ter an impetus, which he did to a large
audience in City Hall. The Ladie's band
opened the meeting with mu.ic, after
which Mayor Gibson introduced Bishop
Newman to the audience in a few well
chosen and eloquent words. During the
afternoon he visited the principal busi
ness houses, the manufacturing establish
ments, tbe quarries, and tho railroad
offices, gathering information as to the
resources of our city, to see if it was of
such a nature and character to justify
the establishment of another institution
that would be lasting and improve as
time advanced. His conclusions were
expressed iu words on the stage, where
be unfolded his views, his conclusions
and his firm belief, that no better place
in Nebraska could be selected for tbe ad
vancement of tbe cause. The plan
adopted to raise the means for this school
was explained, a plat of the lands and
lots to be sold was exhibited and ex
plained by S.D. Fitchie, when seekers
after Weaping Waier real estate were in
vited to name the number each one
would take. Altogether about fifty lots
was disposed of that evening. The man
agers feel that tbe scheme is now an as
sured success and will now go on to a
tiiiisb with tbe work so well begun.
House Cleaning.
"What's the news," asked the scribe,
as he stepped up to a man the other day
who stood gazing out into the dark Mis
souri waters with his bands in his pockets,
while an expression rested on his counte
some nance that showed he was pondering
great problem in his heart. Turning
around and placing his arm upon the
scribe's shoulder, as if to rest his burden
there, he replied in a peculiar manner,
but with an assurance in his voice that
showed he was in earnest and knew what
he was talking about: "Young man,
you now look cheerfully into a bright
future, with the hope of a glorious here
after, (if there is any such thing, and I
suppose of course, there isbut you little
dream of that time when you shall cry
'ah! woe is me!' and when your wife
shall call you up early in tho morning
and have you pull up the carpets, with
hardly a bite to eat, and you will beat
carpets and get your mouth full of dust
and your stomach full of dirt; she will
have you take pown the stove pipe and
trunnel the heavy furniture. At dinner
you will not eat at the table because it is
not, and the back door step will do for a
sitting place for supper. Aud as it comes
night, and you wearily long to retire,
you tike a lantern and find your way up
stairs, across trunks and sofas and boxes
and chairs and books and tables till the
place is reached where you can lie down

FIRST COURT HOUSE EPISODE.
And One That Will go Down to
Prostarityin Memory of the
Illustrious.
A telegram from Weepint; Water re
ciived this morning tells of a pathetic
and thrilling scene upon tbe return of
Commissioners Foltz and Dickson at 11
a. m. Upon hearing of the approach of
these worthy gentlemen, the brilliant and
accomplished editor, Harry Race, with
cane in hand, and his elegant form be
stride a mule, met these members of the
county board and spoke to them as
follows:
"You were elected by our votes, and
for our benefit only, but you act as if the
obedience of the law was of more im
portance to you than the pleasure of my
self and my friends, and you bare acted
the hog in elegant shape."

A Hard Rain.
This morning the theatenings of a
storm broke out utll o'clock with tor
rents of water from tbe clouds, accom
panied by a number of sharp electric
ftasbcsd and loud thundering and for a
half hour water flowed freely. The
sewer catch basins in many places were
clogged with the clay which washed so
easily and it was found necessary to dig
them out during the rain, enough to let
the water pass, on Main street as well as
elsewhere.
A meeting of the Sunday school
workers of he M. E. church was held
last night to consider how Children'

Honor Thy Father and Mother.
Young men who come from the coun
try to the town, and who get on in the
world, are often ashamed of their parents,
of the rustic dress they once wore, and
j of the simple but honest and kindly ways
I of their childhood. And to often when
they assume tbe fashionable ways of
their new friends they leave behind them
the religion of their childhood and for
get the piety which they learned at a
mother's knee. They have outgrown
the priestly dress in which their mothers
dedicated them to Gfd, and think her
religion old-fashioned and worn out.
This is false shame. It is a sin against
the dearest and most sacred instincts of
our nature. So far from being manly,
it is mean aad dastardly. Depend upon
it, the man who will have most of the es
teem of his fellow creatures and of the
favor of heaven will be he who keeps
unchanged all through life tbe mantle of
heavenly devotion with which his mother
clothed him. He who makes the religion
of his youth the habit of his life his
garment and way of acting all through
will come to honor and will enjoy the
proud blessings of consistency. His life
will be a gracious verity, like that of
Samuel; it will have one steadfast pur
pose running through it all. The outer
life will be one piece with the inner; one
part will not reproach the other; and
what he seems, that he ever is. Good
Words.
Spirits Scared tbe Kditor.
We don't believe in spirits in any
way, manner, shape . or form but
Wednesday evening quite a party as
sembled at the residence of Mr. J. R.
Forrester to have a table rapping, and
the results of that meeting were wonder
ful The table used was an ordinary
wooden one and tbe circle was formed
by some of the party seating themselves
around it and placing their bands in
such a manner as to form a circuit. For
soma time the table remained unmoved,
but after a little more time it began to
bob about and move from one end of the
room to the other. Then the medium
said that tbe spirits were at work.
Of course we didn't believe in that, but
as the table raised up from the floor cold
chills passed up and down our back and
a fit of trembling seized hold upon us.
Wo didn't have any confidence in the
spirit part of tbe performance, under
stand, but we trembled ail the Bam p. At
one time the table was raised a consider
able distance from tho floor, falling with
such force as to break it to pieces. Some
of tho names given by the spirits were
only known by one of the party in the
room; ct other times the names were
unrecognized. The messages delivered
were, some of thorn, quite startling, and
v.ere enough to make a believer of the
most incredulous. Verily, some 6trange
tliiiigs bapjieu at these meetings, and
they r.n: things which wecan't explain at
all. Albany (Ga.) News fad Advertiser.
