" & -" ) ... - The ' ftiaavy wind stonn of Monday did very serious damage in different parts ol the state. In Omaha the walls of 3Iax Mcye' buildinjr which had recently goae through a fire were toppled over and six people killed and -eleven wounded. The storm was severe in other places also. The subaission amendment has been passed bj both branches of the legislature. - The Chief feels pleased over the act, not however from "a prohibition .standpoint, but because the party redeems a pledge made to the prohibitionists and their friends, of several jears standing. There is but little hope that the amendment will be adopted, yet it will stop the bickering of third party ites. that the republicans would not give tlicin a chinch to vote on it. aaaaaspaaaaaaawawaiawaawaaaaawaaaaawsaaaawaawaai ? Burr of the Times-Winner says that the "Pis-Hep" is the only paper that dares to mention the fact that Judge Gaslin was drunk at the last session of his court hero. The rest of the papers in he city don't usually deliberately lie. Jadgc Gaslin was aot drunk, but adjourned court on the petition of the bar. While the Judge is not our choice for judicial honors, nor never has ben. yet he is entitled to respect while acting in the capa city of judge, notwithstanding the at tack of one horse newspapers. The prohibs who have been belit ting the republican party of this state for a failure to have a prohibition amendment put before the people, can now find food for thoug'.it in the fact that the republicans were for it to a man almost while the prohibs propos ed friends, the democrats, were squarely against it. The prohibition ists should give the party credit, but we don't look for it, from the fact that they are not willing to own that all the prohibition there is in the land was given to the temperance peo ple by republicans. OBITUARY. It becomes our painful duty to re cord the death of Frank K. Kent at his home six miles south-east of Itad Cloud, Neb . January 2M, 1 S8!. The immediate cause of his tleath was said to be blood poij-onimr. though he has been a sufferer for nearly two years from a remarkably pecular disease that seemed to baffle the skill of his physicians. The parents, wife and friends ofJiro. Kent testify to his uniform kindness and nmiabilityin all tnc rclrtions of life. Ten years ago he gave his heart to God consecrated his life to his .ser vice and made a public profession of religion. His faith was of that con stant unwavering type, that inspired every beholder wUh a sense of the truth and reality of his profession. He loved the church of his choice in a sensible practiblc way, giving joy fully of his mcani time and thought to her interests, in church matters unasseiMBg, yet alway efficient and mscful. During all his .sickness ho was com posed and resigned, retaining his mind to the last he attended in de tail to all his business affairs and tes tified constantly that the master was with him to smooth his dying pillow. His was not simply the victory of coaposure in the presence of a fate that he could not avert, but the vict ory of faith iu Christ, which alone has majesty in death, and in his pres ence can triumph and sing. Near the end he called his loved ones to his .side and gave to each scperately, his dying advice, then CIrcalt Fair. HAsnws, Neb. Jan. 28th, 1889.

R. S. Moore. Public Worship ofUed. What right have yon Mr. Butler to coun- sel or lecture us, your fellow citizens, on the duty of attending and supporting the Public Worship of God on the Sabbath? I answer, the right of free speech; and when I have presented any argument and exhortation, my responsibility ends and yours begins. If they are vaid and worthy of your consideration, and you do not heed them, that is your business, not mine, and you must, one day, account to the Judge of all for the neglect. And, first, is it not n fact that a lax public sentiment in the church itself, and a most viscions one outside of it, prevails in this community upon the whole ques tion of the Poblio Worship of God? Church members stay at home on the Sabbath for most inadequate seasons of weather, inconvenience, dislike of the preacher1 or lack of one of their own de nominations. Does it ever occur to each ersons that God requires these public ordinances of religion to be observed by Him, and that like or dislike of the minister, or the question of denomination has nothing to do with the duty of having a place in some sanctuary on the Lord's Day? And is cot any one man just as much bound by these requirements as any other? Has not each member of the community, as a religious one, just as much at stake as another, in maintaining these ordinances of Heaven? There is divine light and power in them for the moral good and salvation of men and if they are put out, the darkness and degredation of sin and vice will permeate the whole structure of society and ruin it. And in such a common catastrophe I should have no more to lose than my neighbor. He who abseuts himself from church on the Holy Sabbnth and spends the day in idleness, recreation,'pIeasare, secular read ing or business, does all that lies in the and inside of two years, what per east of its present value, think you the property on Webster street would command?

Efforts are being made to discover the cause of the low price of cattle to the grower, Indefinite charges are made con tinually that the dressed beef men are to Masae for it. There may be some truth is this, bat it cannot wholly account for the apparent cheapness of cattle. The mark et far hogs has been remarkably sti for a number of months. The hog grower eaaaot complain of low prices. If the pork and beef packing monopolies hold the power to depress the price of livestock at will, why do they not lower the price of hogs as they have of cattle? The truth the low price of cattle is due to the fact that the supply outruns the demand. A glance at the table.ef the number of cattle returned for tasatiam would prove this. For the year lttl the report shows that six million of eatttc ware returned from the nine western states aai territories de voted to cattle raising. la 1887 the near ber returned was nearly fourteen million. If the figures for 1888 were prepared they would no doubt run into the tweaty millions. Whether these returns be cor rect or not is immaterial. They arc un doubtedly underestimated. Nevertheless these estimates prove that there has been an enormous increase in the number of cattle since the palmy days when live stock fetched high prices. For that reas on, it is to the interest of the cattle grow ers of the west to extend their market and encourage t lie beef packing industries. They must find avenues to dispose of tetnornry overproduction. But this can never be accomplished by a short-sighted policy to restrict the free movement of cattle from one state to another by the passage of local inspection laws, nor by unwarranted hostility to the beef -packing industries, through whose energies the west is able to supply not only America but Europe with cheap beef, Bee. Ducker's Cash V --? Dry Goods House JDST 50 f Tii'l J. -Aohfcj MtW ji RECEIVED aakrapt Mock. I have purchased from the sheriff $5G, 000 worth of very stylish dry goods, boots and shoes: a large assortment of ready made clothing, the entire Stitch bankrupt stock for $ 2.1,000; this gives me a marg in of $31,000, of which I am willing to give the citizens of Adams and adjoining counties about two thirds and have accord ingly reduced prices from 33 to CO per cent. All good are marked in plain fig ures so that purchasers can make their own selections. Our sales for the first week have been nway beyond our expect ations. Now that wo have begun to ad vertise we hope to attract the attention of neigboring cities and thereby increase our sales. The stock of fine drees goods is entirely new and complete. Ladies from neighboring towns and cities should unite and send a delegation to investigate. To such representatives I will agree to pay their railroad fare. I would suggest, in order to give the granger a good show, that they club together and buy $100, or upwards, and I will arrange to give them credit until after harvest . Sales are mov ing along nicely, and those who come soonest will reap the most profit. P. S. Since writing the above finegrabes of dress goods, ladies' plush and cloth sacks and men clothing have suffered another reduction. Isaac Cahh.
