COUNTY BONDS.
Few Saitont Points in Relation
to the Bame.
There seems to be considerable mis
unperstanding throughout tne county
in regard to the bond question. No
two persons, in some of the precincts,
seem to understand the matter exactly
alike. We have taken no little amount
of pains to inquire into the true in
wardness of the matter, and from wnat
we have been able to learn, ran see no
good reason for opposition to the plan
of issuing bonds as proposed bv the
board of county commissioners. The
citizens of Red Cloud precinct are dis
posed to act fairly in the matter and
do not covet the lion's share of the
milk in the bond "cocoanut." That
the improvements fcr which
the bonds are askedare sadly
needed is !a fact which none
can deny. The annual outlay for
bridge repairs since the organization
of the county to the present time has
been far in excess of what the interest
on the bonds will be if issued, and still
during that time the people of the
south part of the county have been
obliged to swim the river on an aver
age of two or three months during
each consecutive year in order to
reach the markets. Meanwhile the
neoDle of the northern part have been
subjected to many similar annoyances
by reason of poor bridges and in many
places no bridges at all over the small
er streams. This stae of things has
had a tendency to cripple business and
proved detrimental to the best inter
ests of the county at large. The board
of commissioners offer a remedy for
the evil and it now remains for the
people to accept or reject it Their
proposition to issue bonds to the
amount of $60,000, due in twenty years
and bearing six per cent interest will
not impose any appreciable burden
upon the tax payers. In the year 1883
the total valuation of taxable property
in the county was $1,333,009.36; in
1884 $2,199,423, being an increase of
$866,413.64; but allowing an increase of
$500,000 annnallv, which is $366,413.64
less than the increase of 1884. at the
end of 20 years the county would have
over twelve million dollars of taxable
nroperty, and less than a five mill tax
would pay the entire amount of the
bonds in one year, if that were neces
sary. It is estimated by competent
engineers who have made the necssnry
surveys that $16,000 will be needed to
build a substantial iron bridge at Guide
Rock; $10,000 at Inavale. and $20,000
at Red Cloud, leaving $14,000 to be
used in bridging the other streams
throughout the other portions of the
county where needed. By using the
old bridges now at Guide Rock and In
avale for the smaller streams a consid
erable amount will be saved. In re
gard to the hue and cry that has been
raised about two bridges near Red
Cloud we have only to say that the es
timates are these: A bridge at the
mill, 204 feet span will cost $8000. One
near Captain Munsell's 245 feet span,
$12,000, or $20,000 for the two bridges.
One near where the present bridge is
400 feet span, would cost $20,000 or
just the same as both of the other
nringes, so it amounts to pay your
money and take your choice, as the
Drice is the same either way. The
above figures are furnished by engin
eers representing two different bridge
companies, and can be relied upon
Possibly lower prices may be obtained.
The present floating debt of the county
is about $3000. It is expected that the
difference between the sealed bids and
those made openly will be enough less
to pay off the floating debt of the
county. Let every man reason ration
ally on this subject, and vote for tho
interest of Webster county and econo
my. Meaerlal Services.
The union Memorial services as an
nounced in our columns were held in
the Baptist Church, which was densly
filled. The platform was occupied by
the Revs. Bean, Springer, McMeekin,
Brown, and Judge Xeiser, who all
took part in the service. The choir
gave some excellent selections in a
very effective manner. After reading
the Scripture lesson by Judge Yeiser
and prayer by Rev. Bean, Rev. Mc
Meekin arose and delivered the ser
mon. The preacher took for Jhis sub
ject the very appropriate text Isaiah
2: 4. "nation shall not lilt up sword
against naion, neither shall they learn
war and more."
There were times when universal
peace reigned among the nations, but
these were brief like the breathing
spell allowed to wrestlers contending
on the arena. Once or twice the
temple of Janus was shut in proof of
universal peace, but generally war
had been the sad gaae. As far as the
Christian religion was concerned its
object and influence were the promot
ing of peace and good will among men.
The last half century bad been snarked
by bloody wars, probably because with
the rapid growth of the nations in ma
terial wealth and scientific knowledge
there bad been a lamentable corres
ponding growth and national pride,
wickedness, atheism, and daring infi
delity, and God saw fit to chastise
them, as be did the haughty Nebu
chadnezzar, teaching him that the
Most High ruleth among the children
of men. The text implies that war is
a gigantic evil. When King David
was compelled to chose the least of
three evils he avoided war a the
greatest Thereto much that may be
called facinating and attractive in the

The Red Cloud Hoooestead, Bond
ing, and Loan Association is progrets
ing nicely and the stock being sub
scribed ranidlv. the Dcople have be
come thoroughly interested in its
movements andlTiiE Chief is pleased
to know that the association is a fixed
institution lor Red Clond and Webster
county. The advantages accruing to
the poor man as well as the man in
Well-to-do circumstances is well set
forth in the following lines:
Taking people exactly as they are,
and probably erer will be, nine out of
ten never did or never will save money
except by the week or month. Sys
tematic efiorls accomplishes substan
tial results in any undertaking. To
save a certain sum every montn or
week, is certain to result in twelve or
fifty-two times that sum txery year.
The young man or married man "who
expends his entire income from month
to month, and year to year, on living
expenses, invariably regrets, as he
grows older, his failure to save and ac-
quire some property in bis old age.
It is poor management to pay rent
for the use of a house, wheii the rent
if paid in weekly installments on the
value of the house, would in a few
years, pay nearly or quite tho cost of
the property ,and the owner be reap
ing the accuring increase in value con
sequent upon the improvement he
could make compiratavely no outlay
but that would, each year, make his
property more homelike and valuable.
i'hey have proven in every instance so
far as our information goes where
honestly and economically conducted
of great pecuniary benefit to both bor
rowers and stockholders, who place
their money as an investment Those
who do not care to borrow, invest
their savings every week at good in
terest, which they would otherwise
fail to save. If it were not for these
weekly savings every dollar of the
money thus invested would, in alt
probability be expended, and instead
of having at the end ot five or six vears
$500 to $1,000 as the result ot $l.25 to
$2.50 put by each week, they would
have little or nothing to show as sav
ings. It is an admitted fact that loan
associations have done much toward
building up every town or city where
they have been organized and nroncrJv
conducted. It has been said, and, we
presume truly, of the great cfty of Phil
adelphia, "that to her building associ
ations more than to any other cause
is she indebted for the proud and dis
tinguished title of 'Tho City of
Homes.' " Let it be reniemoerctf that
it is the poor man or those with limit
ed capital that aro interested in ad
vancing this move.

the bridge bonds. I find that the gen

siouers are intending to put in one
bridge ejwt of Red Cloud, and eae at
the mill, and just repair the old bridges
at other point. The bond can aotbe
carried unles that idea m ensnged.
What the jxwple demand I that one
good, snlMUnttal bridge be built at
each ofthe three trading point ia the
county, thsn if extra brkJaasaM dmir.

waul i to know where and how the

that our county oommissiouers an

To solve the great problem of life as
to the here and the hereafter, the re
ligious principle within us is ever at
work. Untutored tribes of earth ate
in forms of life around them, frf tire'
regularity of nature's laws, in the shin-
ing stars above their hd, a creative
and a preserving power, that they aro
ver trying, through reason to eompre-'
bend, and her is tho first law of idola
try. KKaaov.
It is often said that there is no reas
on in idol worship. I take this to br
wrong. Bather would I lielieve that it
is a demonstration of the highest prin
ciple of reason. Only mind intelli
gence can reason, in spiritual calcula
tion, from cause to effect in a way to
hold action to a line that determine d
result. Th Hindoo asothef amsrW

of a religious nature. The act was'
