If some of our noted theologians
wish some of the toughest problems of
life or some of the most difficult points
of scripture interpreted send them to
the "Sons of Rest, Multi-Sectarian
Nicotinites," of which there are two
orders in our town. When you have
time, borrow a quid of tobacco and
attend one of these meetings and learn
the length of eternity and the magni
tude of the universe, the deepest
soundings of that fiery sulphurous lake
untrameled by ship-subsidy intringues
and understand the magnimity of the
gent running this summer resort. If
you are not tangled in the meshes of
futurity, come and get tangled and
then as a balm all is made clear toyou
as the unfolding of a rose in June
time a canker-worm at heart.

George Washington refused to re
ceive any salary as commander-in-chief
of the Continental armies. His
supply of "gray matter" must have

annum, and yet has nothing more than
a "modest compensation."

According to many of the most
eminent physicians of the world, the
man who works on the Lord's day is
committing suicide by inches. He
lowers the vitality of his body until
he is more likely to be stricken down
by disease, than escaping. This short
ens his life by several years.
Never allow business to occupy the

church. It won't pay.

Smitha class of seven children recited

little child, is worth more than broad
acre of land, or tall stacks of the
"almighty dollar." Mr. and Mrs. W.
J. Edmunds are worthy of special
honor because of the encouragement
they gave to our boys and girls to
engage in this good work.

Claus Breckenfield.
The Elmwood correspondent of the
Lincoln Journal, in speaking of the
death of Claus Breckenfield, says:
"The death of Claus Breckenfeld
came very unexpectedly Tuesday.
Mr. Breckenfeld had returned but a
few days before from a hospital at
Rochester, Minn., where he under
went a third operation for tubercu
losis of the glands and only the day be
fore his death was out on the street
and in talking with a friend, stated
that he felt better than he had at any
time upon returning from the hospital
and was satisfied this operation would
be the means of his recovery. In the
evening he commenced coughing and
before a physician could arrive, was
dead. Hemorrhage of the lungs is
pronounced as the cause of his death.
"Mr. Breckenfeld came to Elmwood
n 1U02, as manager of the Elmwood
flouring mills, which business he has
conducted very successfully. He was
a friend to everyone, genial, whole
souled and a good neighbor one who
was a leader in business and social
circles. He was well known in Cass
county, especially at Plattsmouth and
Louisville, where he resided for anum
ber of years."
"He was of middle age and leaves a
wife, two sons and one daughter. No
arrangements for the funeral will be
made until the arrival of his oldest
son, who resides at Springfield, Mo."
' Since the above was put in type we
are informed that the funeral of the
deceased will occur tomorrow after
noon' at 4 o'clock at the home of the
family, and that interment will be
made in the Elmwood cemetery.
In District Court.

tion from her husband who now re
sides in Denver, also the possession of
her children, but the court granted
the husband the right to call and see
the children as he desired.
