a petition amng our citizens on Monday
ior me establishment, 01 a mail rnute
from Andrews to Agate. Such a route
would be of great benefit to the citizens
down in that part of the country, as it
now is, it takes five day, so Mr. Cook
says, to get any communicatron from

we think it no more than right that Mr
Cook aod the other residents in that part
of the country should have better mail
services.
1 he historical sketch of the Chadron
Academy as it apeared in the Envoy of
April 18, was read with interest by us
and while the academy is now in a flour
ishing condition it has had its drawbacks
as well as all other institutions. We
are glad to note the increase of the at
tendance for the present year. History
only repeats itself with the Chadron
Academy as with all other institutions
where too many changes prove a detri
ment lo educational work as in all other
work. A great many of our young peo
ple from this county have taken the ben
efit of this school and we can sav that
the work and management of the acad
emy has been very highly spoken of by
all the students that we have met and
esfsicially the ones that were desirous of
securing an education. May long live
the Chadron Academy and may its offic
ers and teachers continue to reach out
and make this institution one that will
long be remembered by our people of the
north west as one of the greatest educat
ional institut ions of the slate. Wo can
say for the teachers that have graduated
from this school and that have taught in
this county, that we have found them
thorough and competent in every resiect
and we hope this school may mnke more
of a specialty in this line in the future.
Whooping Cough.
A woman who has experience with
this disease, tells how to prevent any
dtngerous consequences from it. She
says: Our three children took whooping
cough last summer, our baby boy being
only three months old, and owing to our
giving them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, they lost none of their plump
ness and came out in much better health
than other children whose parents did
not use this remedy. Our oldest little
girl would call lustily for cough svrup
between whoops, J khMB PlNKKV lUlX,

And now the little birds have tol I us
o( anoiher incident concerning a citizen
of Hemingford that pleases us immensely
This time it is none other then a minister
of the gospel who wearying of an enforc
ed idleness occasioned by Hie mandate of
the town's Wrd of trus'ees, which pro
hibited public gatherings during the sup
posed pievalcnceto siua'lpo.v in the com.
munity, varied the monotony by begin
ning where be left ol! years ago, ere tli.i
love of Ood mid al! things true and beau
tiful was implanted in Ins booni, and
went to carpentering. What is there
that Kev. C. E. Connell can't do? As a
modest, unassuming, but eloquent
preacher Ik ranks up along tow.vd the
top. As carpenter he doesn't have to
lay his square and compass down to
many, and when it comes to writing a
newB item or an editorial paragraph, he
can discount many f those who imagine
they are specially gifted in thisdirection.
Score one for C. E. Connell-the preacher
the carpenter, the upright, whole souled,
generous, fair-minded citizen. Alliance

ScUtio Rheumatism Cured After

us not nest to wait till one feels like
doing belter before acting better. Do
something good and you'll get good, but
dou t stop at one thing.
It would be cruel to the honest man to
find no honest way of doing right, to find
n'i beaten pth wh-sre light lingers.
wnen uie oiessed Spirit of Ood comes IJe

Bits of Jamison Philosophy.
A j .ckass brays but it thinks it en
lightens the world.
l lie best place for a man to make a
fool of himself is right here.
Man differs from the animuls in his
ability to make a fool of himself.
The fellow who thinks he knows every
thing is just about a well ripened fool.
Its no use to quit your meannesR with
out you lay hold of betterness or best
ess. The only pl.ice'in this world where
there is no friction and ierfact dignity-
is the graveyard.
Thi best way to get rid of the bad
that's in yourself is to take hold of the
lies'; that's out of yourself.
I'd rather be a plain, lean, Christian
headed the ritrlit wi:y than a big. fat
nourishing sinner headed the wronwaj,
I'd rather my bin' would have the
smallpox tbiin -'smartness." More
fellows suffer from sinartne.ss"than any
other disease.
'The common people lie-ird him gladly.'
Our meetings are for coinuinn full um-li
as liked to hear our Master. He'll 1
there. Come.
Every man is in favor of Ood doing
something for him if it is only to keep
the cholera from his hogs or the thieves
from his chicken coop.
The (Irsi. sermon Christ ever preached
to lii-sdicip!e i bjgan with-'blessed are ye"
I'd rather have one smile from His face
than the applause of the multitude.
The Christian al way s hopes for and sees
better days. I shall not always be so
weak. It will not always be dark. I
shall see Him as He is .vhen the light of
eternal day dawns. I shall see Him as
He is.
Jacob was left alone. After the night
of conflict, the breik of day, he limped
away frein that place with a new name,
new hope, new power, new vision. It's
a good deal letter to limp heaveuward
than lo walk erectthe other way.
'If it were not so I would have told
you." A true friend will warn us of the
worst danger and tell us of the best
things. So Jesus opens the vistas of the
future and shows us the Mansions.
"I will not leave you comfortable."
That's just the thing men need, comfort.
That is. comfortable thoughts, comfort
able ideas about Ood, the future, etc.
The Holy Spirit comes to comfort; do
you want him?
Talk about angels If I had the choice
between leading my children with angels
to minister to them and a Christian
woman. I'd want the woman; she whose
life is made tender and sweet by Christian
faith is the best angel a fellow can have.
I've known fellows who would follow
a girl to church every night in the week
and if he could not see her home he'd be
willing to sit on the barbed wire fence
and see her go by, but when they are
married less than a year she could not
coax him there with sugar beer might
do it.
It is a great opportunity for a church
to work in special evangelistic meetings.
Every church should have such occasions
once or twice a year. Now that the
workers are here, it is harvest time for
us. Those who give the most time to
these meetings will get the most out of
them.
If a man could flinp away the frag
ments of manhood that's in him, turn
face away from visions of better things,
forget the cleaner and belter days that
were his, then he could be a beast, but
forever and forever he will carry witli
him flashes of a better manhood. Thai's
what makes hell.
AlsMit the worst thing in a meeting,
s for one to speak and say nothing.
"When you've got a thing to say,
