Mayor Holland with several gentle men from the east part of the state, were viewing our niagmficicnt elec tric light system and waterworks. The gentlemen were well pleased over them.

Mrs. Carrie Vance (nee Newhouse) has made quite a mark as an artist She showed us a beautiful cluster of flowers that she recently painted that were far beyond anything we have seen recently. When a man gets so low as to cast reflections upon a man's children who he knows nothing of comparatively he is getting pretty small. We think that Burt should apologize to Mr. Shields in this instance for the unmanly reference. Jeff Ward, es-cditor of the Demo crat and G. M. Plumb of the Helmet had a war of words one day this week on lhe street corner, and we arc in clined to think the boys were a little hasty. However our fightinz editor has cjone into training, for fear he may be the next. Our chattel mortgage friends who own the Big concern will have to screw on another one or two per cent per month to make up their losses evidently, having recently mortgaged the concern for $1S00, besides blow ing in about $2500 that was raised to buy the outfit originally. The long felt want has been filled we presume. The Hastings Nebraskan speaks of Heine as the greatest violinist of the age. The concert will be given next Friday evening. He is supported by a fino company of artists, including a lady violinist, a prima donna, and Ada Thompson, one of England's fin est pianists. The entertainment will be long remembered by those who are fortunate enough to hear it 14500 is not a bad pile to pnt on the wrong side of the ledger, yet an unholy combine of this city have blowed themselves about that much to add to the experience side of run ning a newspaper. The way of the transgressor is hard, yes, very hard. How much nicer it would have been to have invested the above amount in a good creamery or something that would have done the city some good.

The daily Helmet of Monday last was slightly off when it said that there was "a fair-sized" audience" at the M. E. church last Sunday mor aiag. The church was crowded, every seat filled, standing room at a pre mium, and many went away nnable to even see on the inside of the building. "Fair-sized." I should say so. 9 Chlldrea'a Bay. Children's day at the various churches in the city was well observed on last Sunday morning. The Meth odist ehurch was handsomely decorat ed, and the exercises were of a fair character. The Congregationalist church, as well as the Baptist church was elaborately decorated. The Christian society held their services in the Odd fellows hall and was cf a very pleasant and agreeaMe character. m Frank Goble has been laid up with a boil. The F. & M. bank will move into their uew quarters soon. Mrs. Myra Ebright (nee Brewer) is visiting her parents in this city. Thereof the engine house at the nii'l was blown off the other night. D.

Cheek of Omaha, were the guests of Mr. J . Murray this week. There will be a meeting of the Equal Suffrage society at the resi dence of Sirs. Brewer on Saturday afternoon Jane 15th at three o'clock P. M. A fall attendance is earnestly requested. Last week in reporting the wed ding anniversary of G. W. Knight and wife we inadvertantly ammitted the name of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Pond on the list of donors on the handsome berry dish presented to the parties above mentioned. Chairman Tomlinson reports every thing moving along nicely and thinks the largest crowd that ever assembled in Nebraska will be here. Our home team is making every effort to become efficient iu all that goes to make up a good company, and will make it interesting for all who come. Let evcr encouragement be given to our fire boys, so that they will have as little to contend with as possible in making their arrangements for the entertainment of the state associa tion. The postmaster general makes the following sggestion to ahe public: Print your name and address on the left hand corner of all mail matter. This will insure its immediate return if improperly addressed or insuffi ciently paid, and if not called for at its destination it can be forwarded without going to the dead letter of fice." It is pcihaps superfluous to state that this suggestion from such high authority should be heeded, and all know that this office excels in in such work and does it the chsap- est. A newspaper man in this state brought suit against forty-three men who would not .pay their subscription and obtained judgment in every case for the amount of each claim. Of these, twenty-eight made out af fidavit that they owned no more than the law allowed, thus preventing at tachment. Then, under the desicion of the supreme court, th;y were ar rested for petit larceny and bound under 6um of $3000, each. All but six gave bond, while six went to jail. The new postal law makes it it larceny to take a paper and refuse to pay for it The Helmet talks about the com missioner system being much batter than the supervisor system. We take it that Mr. Plumb is not posted. The facts are tr.at nine cases out of every ten the supervisor system is far superior to the other system as it gives more equal representation to the coun ty, and much less chance for jobbery. During the life of the commissioner system in Webster county a few pre cincts received all of the benefits ac cruing and others never did get an appropiation. The commissioner sys tem is a fraud and imposition on the people where a fair representation is wanted. The supervisor system is aj little more expensive hut preferable to the other.

At the close of the final examina tion cf the high school students for school year just closed a premium was awarded to the pupil of each division whose general average was highest in his class. The following are the names of the pupils to whom the pre miums were awarded; also the divis ion to which eah belonged and the general average: Willie Letson A division Alex. Bentley B " Donald Pope C " Mabel Day D " 98$ 96J 88 94 Without any desire to slight the last three mentioned I believe it my duty to make special mention of Wil lie Letson, whom I regard as a remark able good student, one whom a faith ful teacher cannot fail to appreciate highly. Willie seems to Lave a knowledge of the true value of an education, and works diligently to acquire it. He posesses more than average mental abilities, having keen analytic powers. To be brief, his school life promises a prosperous and happy mature age. Those pupils of the high room those general average reached 80 per cent or above will have their names published next week. JSO. F. CUBRAN. Taylor Marray. On Wednesday Orange Taylor, clerk in . McFarland's store, a well known and respected young man of this city was united in marriage to Miss Clara Murray, the estimable daughter of our friend Mr. J. Murray of the Fair store, the ceremony tak ing place at their residence, Rev. Taggart speaking the mystic words that made the happy couple one. The Chief bids the newly wedded couple a happy life. They were the reci pents of numerous presents. After the ceremony had been proforaed th young folks were escorted to their new home on Seward street where they will reside in the future.
