vary citizen of Webster county who
kaa a farthing of patriotism should
make arrangements to come to Red

positively a moral and patriotic duty
for every citizen to observe this day
aad thereby keep the memories of
Br dead heroes fresh in the minds of
the growing generations as well as
those who lived in those trying times.
We arc not one of those who believe
tut the "dead past should bury the
dead," but on the other hand believe
that all true Americans should with
that pride -born of true and unflinch
ing love of country revere the mem
ory of those noble and self sacrificing
who went forth to battle and
death to serve onr country. It is
then, a duty we owe them, to lay
asde oar work and do honor to their
nenle desds of heroism,

Mr Simons, the venerable street
commissioner, objects to our remarks
in last week's Chief in regard to the
favoritism shown in grading streets.
We have no hesitancy in saying or
in fact reiterating our former state
ment. Webster street has been gra
ded evcty year since the editor of
this raper has been in Red Cloud, al
most to the exclusion of every other
street except Seward. Perhaps if
Mr. Simons had not lived on that
street it would have escaped this
year, but somehow or other city offi
cials in the aggregate see to it, if
there are to be any improvements,
that they arc made in their vicinity,
or as near as possible. There are
however, a few exceptions in Ked
Cloud, and we have secured our city
artists to photograph them aa living
curiosities, but Mr. Simons' pioture
will not appear in this group. The
Chief has no axes to grind, but likes
to sec justice done the people, no one
man or set of men, should be favored
to the exclusion of others, in this
land of the free. During the McKee
by regime the city waterworks were
put iu, and were so arranged that the
mains passed the residences or prop
erty of every eity official, without ex
ception, and in one instance they
were put on a back street to accomo
date the mayor to the almost exclu
sion of that portion of the city where
the service would be ef necessity to
the people for actaal service where
wells could not be obtained It any-
one can gainsay this statement let
him stand up and be counted. Jus-1
tico is justice, every day in the week
Of course it is too late to kick now
about the water works, but in tho fu
ture it may be beneficial to office hol
ders. The oity council should take warn
ing and be very careful in the man
ner thoy spend the eity money in the
future as our people are certainly
waking up to the reckless extrava
gance of the past few months. The
city should not have an officer that is
aot absolutely necessary. It should
not remit licenses, if people want to
indulge in business that reqmires li
cense let them pay it or go into some
other line of business. The city
marshal could be street commissioner
at the same salary ne aow gets, and
there arc other such cases that could
be lopped off. People who have to pay
over a $1000. taxes kick, those who pay
$500, kiek, and those of ns wbe pay
smaller amounts, kid, and right they
should. Of course the city business
has to be attended to, and saoney
must be raised, for that purpose, yet
it does not follow that we aaay need
lessly pay out money just for the fun
of the thing, as it hurts bad enoagh
to pay what one actually has to.
Will the council do the right thing
and rccind their former actios in re
gard to city officials ?

Toe maaslf la (he Use of Other Peo
ple's Name.
Will N. King, advertising solicitor
and general hustler for various news
papers and job printing houses, seem
to have a mania fer forging other peo
ple's names for small amounts. He
is now in jail for attaching the firm
name of Lee' Hartley & Co. to a bit of
paper far 110.80, and also for pan
handling Freeland, Loomis & Co. for
a considerable amount.
Bat this is not King's first esca
pade by any means. Last September
he was arrested for drawing a check
on a bank in which he had no funds
and getting it cashed at the Burling
ton ticket office. His excuse was
that he needed money and intended
depositing the casL before the check
was presented for redemption. His
friends interposed in his behalf and
he was released. He then drifted
s'juthward.
But a short time elapsed ere the
news came that King was in jail at
Atchison. Kan., charged with forgery.
This time it was a csbc of mistaken
identity, aud after being held for a
time he was released . He then came
to Omaha, and has lived rather quiet
until a few days ago. He has had
more trouble with checks than any
man living, and has bad difficulty in
nearly every town be has been in,
Hastings, Beatrice and several other
places. As a rule he is as successful
in evading punishment as he is in get
ting his checks cashed. Republican.
Tho following anecdote of a public
school graduate was told at a recent
meeting o! the association of colle
giate alumnae in New York City:
One young lady exceptional in her
frankness, though probably not in
her opinion," said the narrator of tho
story, '-graduating from a grammar
school in white satin and cotton lace,
with seven boquets, three baskets of
flowers, and 71 per cont, remarked to
a fiiend:
" Yes, I have finished my educa
tion, but I'm not so happy as I
s posed I should be. You sec, papa
and mamma pronounce their words
so shocking, and know so littlo about
science and literature and ,rcthinctic
that it ir positively a hardship to as
sociate with them. But I hope I
shan't have to endure it long. I
mean to mairy a banker and live
abroad.' "

man, the Magician and his company received an
imitation to appear before the king of Mandala,
to reach their destination It was necessary to
take a voyage up tbe Irawaddy a distance of
seven hundred miles, which was done on a
small steamer. Tbe voyage was charmingly
picturesque leading as It did by scores of villages
with golden spires of pagodas rising up and
Slisieniiis in the dazxellng sunlight. At Man
dala the company was met by a royal escort at
the steamer's Und'ng. the baggage Backed on
elephant nnri the people were likewise mount
ed, aud a 1 were taken to the palace of the king.
In tue outer chamber of the palace they were
ordered lo emote their shoes, which was done.
After two hours detention they were escorted
through court yard and magincent apartments
luto a large audience chamber where a tempora
ly staee bad been fitted up. After fitting up their
properties for a performance, screens were set
up at lie farther end of the room from the
stage, and beyond this the king and queen were
seated whore they could see aud not be seen,
all others in the hall Including noblemen and
ofllclils knelt upon the floor with noses fairly
Into i he floor. The interperler to the court sent
woid that tlieperfonneis must kneel alto, and
only upon e.-plalnliu: that they could no; give
the performance unless permitted to stand, t.iey
weie then ordered to appear on their feet be
fore the king and queen. After the perform

ers that his majesty was so well plesed that be
would termit the Conjuror to gaze on his face,
a delicacy in that county, the screens was push
ed aside and revealed his majesty reclining in
his (liu.s, he chatted pleasantly through the in
terjwrter, and marveled at the eshlbltlon iriven
by the magician, his majeity expressed a desl.c
that Zunzic should remain as court conjuror,
and he would give him and his assistants a
palace for their social entertainment. Zanzlc
Informed the king that he could not remain
with him, he then Insisted that some of his
people be taught the art of magic and become
magicians, he was lufoimed that also would be
iuiiflssible. Hit royal highness then insisted
that the magician should rvinuin, and gave or
ders that he should not be permltcd to leave the
palace, and that lie should !e supplied
with every luxury and comfort for inanv
days. The king could not be induced to coun
termand ids former order, and Zanzlc was liter
ally a prisoner iu the most gorgeous and mag
nificent palace In the orient. He was treated
with tho gieatest consideration and kindness,
by heging, praying, threatening and with the
intervention of hii American Missionary, who
informed the king that theie would be trouble
unless his icttcd prisoner was allowed to di'iurt
as free as he came. After much parleying the
king reluctantly allowed the muglclun his liber
ty. A promise was extracted from Zanzlc how.
ever that lie would revisit the palace again, a
cul-inet was retained rs a fulfillment of the
promise, tho king paid the conjuror coon route!
and made the party handsome presents of gold
and embroidery work. While confined as
princely prisoners the party were shown the
sacred white elephant, Mr. Zanzlc says It was
