It was also de cided to incorporate a home company with a capital sufficient to build a road or two, to different points from Rod-Cloud and a committee composed of a number of capitalists was ap pointed .to draw up a charter and make all the necessary arrangements. Tbe committee appointed were G. K. Cbaney", M. R. Bentley. E. B. Smith. A J. Kenney and D. 6. Spanogle. The people are in earnest in this mat ter and there is no doubt but what they will have everything soon arran ged in that regard. This should have b&ea accomplished long ago, instead of -waiting for some one to build it for" us. Let the people push this mat ter and something will be done. The faets are that those fellows who throw cold water on all enterprises of this kind should be set down on hard, andf given to understand that this is not. the kind of talk that goes in lied Cloud. Enterprises gotten up for the purpose of dividing the people should afso be scorned. It is just such things as that, that kills crow ingfowns. Where men are permitted to "project institutions for the avowed purpose and intention of breaking down enterprises already numerous in the city, and creating a dissension in the rank and file of the people for po litical efftct, hurts a city more than any one thing else and looks as if their interests were purely selfish, and that their outward professions of in terest in the welfare of the city was only a sham and a burlesque. Such methods should be dealt with as they deserve. That kind of sentiment bhould not be allowed to exist in the community where there is so much at stake in the up building of the town as there is in Red Cloud. That Jail QtirMlnn. We can not sec what difference it should make to the public, if sonic fellow should sub contract to Luild the new jtil free of charge as far as general results wero concerned if the people secured a jail that actually cost and was worth $10,000. It is no sign that because Mr. Brubaker took the contract to build th wall and fnr nish tlie weod work for $.",000 that he will make or lose money, or that the balance of the material will not cost the other $3,000 remaining. The contract as near as we understand it, was for a structure to be actually worth $10,000, or as near that as pos sible barring the contractor's proiits, of which he should be entitled to. We think the board did well in let ting the contract as they did, and be lieve that they acted in good faith, and that the jail will be vrortb the money paid for it uotwithstandinc tha; the snb contractors' price was only half of the contractors price. J'hc ail will cost the contractors at irast $S,.00 to $0,500 when complet ed, notwithstanding the croaking? of a fow discontented chaps who desire to gain fame by insinuating that "steals1' abound everywhere except under their own vine and fig tree. If we may be permitted to use an in elegant expression, we should say -oeme off the dump" and cease howl ing about the county jail. Old Soldier, Take Notice. During the old soldiers reunion held in this city last September, there was only a temporary organiza tion perfected for a reunion to be held at some place within the confines of Nuckolls.

Let tho American people cling to the l'ublic Worship of God and to the Christ ian religion. It is their olIv safety. The History of nations, states and communi ties, greater and smallor, has shown over and OTer again, how the Public Worship of God produces thoo effects in the opin ions, habits and spirit of tho people which contribute to the public security and pros perity; and how on thu other hand, the neglect of it produced n fearful demorali zation of communities. It is not, then, a matter of individual nnd general con cern for the people of Kcd Cloud to maintain the Public Worship of God! What substantial reason is there why. not only til Christian people, hut all worthy citizens, should not cooperate in upholding the church and in creating a public sentiment that will lead all classes of society to honor God's house with their pre'unce It is especially incumbent up on professional men. pnblic school teach ers and tho conductors of the local pres. todothi. We naturally look to them, among other clice, to aid in teaching; moral truth nnd in building up public, moral character; but no man can do much in that line who is n habitual ne glector of tho sanctuary on the Lord's day. Perhaps no state in the union, pre sents stch striking illustrations of the above mentioned nrinciples, as Indiana (See Str.ts Supcrin:endnt. Crafts, report in tho Congregational Home Missionary, for February) Contrat that portion of the Rtaie between the Ohio river and the lower Wabash, called "The Pocket, the Muncio region, Northeast of Indianapolis, and the Ccal Bluff region North of Terra Haute, with tkeir meagre Christian in tlnence. and their oft recurring riots and murders; with regions not far away well supplied with thegospel and with worship ing congregations. Said a R. IL conduct or said to a minister lately, as they were approaching a series of towas in the Coal Bluff region, almost destitute of Public worship: lhe nest .- miles is an American Sodom and I wish we were safe ly OTer it." And I need only remark that lie who does not know that no commu nity can retain the principle of religion apart from the Pnblic Worship of Ood. has observed and read to very little pur pose. Is it not plain from what has been said in this nnd in previous articles, that it is essential to the well being of this city that the great mass of her citizens be seen in the sanctuary on the Lord's day. Bet. if instead, the great mass of thepeo- p!e forsake tbe hoae of God on the Sab bath, and spend the day at home, is idle res and ia ways indifferent to very thing religious, will it necesar.tfly pro duce a state of society full of danger to the future welfare of this city!
