Sr--—--— The Lord does eveD up some I tilings in this world. Pi inters child ren are alwajs itnune from kidtiop L era. The senatorial contest at Lincoln, will soon be in full blast and wo can see no good reason wby the north ern part ot the state should not be considered as the plums are passing. We have three available candidates either of whom are well entitled to recognition, Hon’s A E. Cady of St. Paul, M. P. Kinkaid of O'Neil, aDd senator Curry of Sargent. They are all splendid men whom to know is to trust and neither have ever been conuected with questionable deals. Tbe people ot this part of the state should demand a place on the senatorial delegation for one of them. - Kdward Cudahy sr., the millionaire meat packer of South Omaha, shelled out the $25,000 ransom asked for by the kidnapers of his son. The money was paid readily under press ure of threats made by the outlaws to put out his sons eyes .vith acid if he did not do so. This heinous crime, comrnited against good gov ernment and humanity, is even con doned by some parties in this com munity by saying that Mr. Cudahy had made his money easy and was a millionaire and there was no real barm in getting it away from him as as long as the boy was returned safe Can it be possible that, educated men would so far forget themselves as to tacitly white wash the robbers of our firesides, y et such seems to be the case. _ Tlie village board, b\ a special act passed a resolution to prohibit public gatherings in the village and to keep out all persons known to h’a.e been exposed to small pox. It may oe necessary to take some steps In this direction to insure the health of our citizens, but if it is, the most dangerous points should tie the ones most guarded, and this, it would seem, comes from the train service, and traveling public. Now, from the resolution passed there is no one prohibited from coming to town from any point, except those who are known to be exposed. Is there any sense in such a resolution? We may be dull of comprehension bat we fail to see by what means the people are protected by pursuing such a course. All people coming from or passing tLrough other placeB where the disease is known to be, ehould be estopped from coming in to our village, until such time as all danger gf introducing the disease is past. There is much more dan ger of smail-pox being brought in to our midst by the traveling public than there is cf it; spread by public gatherings in a place where the disease does not exist. We think that the honorable board should call another special meeting aud give us this protection or else recind the whole business. As it is we have absolutely no protection and arc paying a marshall for nothing. A glimpse of the luxury with which rich Americans surround them selves is given iu the January issue of The Ladies' Home Journal, under the title “Housekeeping in a .Mil lionaire’s Family." If this issue of the Journal is a fair sample of what that popular magizine intends to give its readers iu the new cen tury its already wide held of useful ness will be greatly enhanced. One of the striking features of the Jan uary Journal’ “The Baltimore lb He Who Made the Most Brilliant Match of any Girl iu America” recalls the fact that a Yankee "Queen’’ once sat on a Vice Legal throne in Ireland. There is a little play for amateurs, ‘•The ‘Little Women’ Play,” adapt ed from Miss Alcotl's story. Kliz abeth Stuart Phelps biings more humor into the domestic complica tions of "The Successors of Mary Hrirlcs Major tells i frilling Blue River Bear Story,” , ;,u i t till ltd Howard contribuiies another chapter of - The story of a \oimg Man. A Winter Service at Church, by W. L. Taylor, and A. If. Frost’s “Town Meeting” are page pictorial features that will be recieved with great favor. FMward Bok has an article on “The Two Centuries and This Msgizine,” giv ing a short review of the history of the Journal. There are also many other features that will prov3 useful and helpful to home-makers. By Curt it. Publishing Company. One dollars year: ten cents a copy. On the 10th of December, 1897, Rev. S. A.

II r NT ER, Justice of the Perce. chiustmxm at i.oi r city I Christmas time was generally ob ser\ed by the people of this city and surroundings in a manner that will leave pleasant memories with all. Old and young weie made happy by the receipt of generous gifts from friends and relatives. Many fam ilies indulged in Merry Christmas dinners and enjoyed the privilage and pleasureof participating in fam ily re union. Merchants closed their places of business in order that tbey might indulge in the pastime, and pleasures of home society. At the M. K. Church an enter tainment was given by the Sunday S;hool which was largely eDjoyed. A ferris wheel eight feet in diame ter was erected in the church and so arranged as to rcvolye, carrying With it some fifleeu baskets will fill ed with tokens ol love and affection. The program was rendered by the Sunday School scholars who gave a very appreciative entertainment. While every part of the program was well rendered there was one feature of the program deserving of special mention, it was the rendition by two boys and three girls of “The Story of Bethleham,” Kev. Mad ley closed the program with a few re marks that was well suited to the occasiou. Santa Claus put in his appearauce at the appointed time and the large ferris wheel started journey, distributing tokens of love and affection to the many who were preseut to recieve them. At the Baptist Church a large crowd gathered. An Arch and Cbrist tmite tree was had. The tree was well ladeued with presents. A program was carried out and the presentations of present was followed by a basket supper and social time. The Presby terian bull was also the scene of much enjoyment, there be ing a good sized crowd gathered to do honor to the occasion. A short program was rendered by the Suu day School class and a basket sup per and social was given. At all of these gatherings special liams were taken to make the little folks happy and credit is due the management for keeping in mind some of the more unfortunate ones whose circumstances were such as to prevent them from otherwise enjoying the pleasures of A Merry Christmas.
