1U. Ely IJisu..nh. List Wednes
day ntglit tho resignation of Rev. E. li.
Ely tho popular pastor of tho Congrrgu
tional church in this city was read tho
sumoto take placo at once. About ono
J ear ago Rev Ely resigned tho enine p"o
sit ion, but It mot with such vigorous pro-ti-sts
from his church that ho rcconaid-
orod tho same and decided to remain
another year. Rev. Ely has beeu offerod
many lucratlvo positions, nnd has fre
quently boon earnestly called toother
Holds of labor. Among tho positions of
fered him is it prominent position In
church work iu Illinois, nnd tho position
of BUporinteiulcnt of city mission work
for tho Congregational church in Omnhn.
Tho later is quite an important position
nnd possibly will bo his choice Rov.
Ely has experienced most flattering suc
cess iu this city and line won tho esteem
of all of our citlzons. Ills church has
c instantly grown under his pnntornto,
nnd has been virtually treo from conten
tion. Ho has built up a strongaud largo
membership, und may bo truly proud of
tho results of IiIb work hero. Rov. Ely

Christian work with alacrity and vigor.
Ho is a devout Christian, and when ho
leaves this city ho may bo nBBUred of tho
best wishes for him and his most estima

U.NHAt.i.owi:i). Tho other day whilo
Btrajing around Red Cloud, our reporter
saw inscribed upon n marblo slab, that
had in years gono by, ovidontly marked
tho resting placo of somo beloved ono
"Not Forgotten." Tho grave had been
dosecrated, tho head stono lay flat upon
tho ground, separated from the base, and
to all appoaranco, tho oyo that dropped
tho tears of suffering twenty years ngo
had really "forgotten" that ho had hud
Inscribed In living lottors tho words
"Not Forgotton," nnd then Buffered tho
ono who lay beneath tho sod to bo for
gotton. Truly in many cubcs, "wo nro
forgotton when wo'ro gono," nnd many
times by thoeo who should revero our
momory until reunited upon tho shores
boyond the blue. The grave lay along
sido of a much used thoroughfare, and
did not have as much as a fonco to pro
tect it from tho ravages of anlmntB or
tho desecrations of vnndnls or carries
peoplo who respect not the last resting
placo of thoso who have departed to tho
glory land.
'
A New Way. Wo have heard of devi
ous muthods of gotting ovon with your
noighbor, provided everything was not
passing along as quietly as should be,
but it romainB for a Webster county man
to ring in a now doal, as the boys Bay,
that puts all othors in tho ehado. It
Bcoms that two farmers of foreign extract
ion living in tho northwest part ot tho
county, had a misunderstanding, and it
grow and grew, until ono day, when par
ty No. 1 was soon advancing along hla
lino fenco near whero No.2 was laboring,
with u lasso iu his hands. No. 2 did not
think much of it, but when No. 1 was
near enough, ho lot it go, nnd No. 2
lookod up in timo to koop it from going
ovor hla head, so tho story goes, but It
caught his wrist, whon No. 1 quickly
drew him ovor the barb wiro fenco nnd
mndo several threats, bo It is alleged, to
mako mince meat of him, but finally do
elated, nnd now wo proaumo thoro will
be n law-suit and moro bad blood engen
dered. Tho mothod is a good one if you
want to deal summarily with your
victim.
With His Little Hatchet. Last
Tuesday evening John Clino and John
Wittwor, known in this city aa "Dutch
John," ongagod in a qunrrol which ended
in alight, and might havo resulted eori-
ously but for tho lattor's alacrity in do-
dofendlng himsolf. Thoro was somo
misunderstanding ovor some land, and
words ensued, whon Clino struck Wit
twor, and thon wont and got a hatchot
threatening to kill tho plaintiff. When
ho roturnod with the hatchot, ho struck
Wittwer three times on tho arm, and
onco over tho oyo. Tho latter 'who had
a whip in his hand, began to retaliate,
and then they wont at it in earnest
Both participants were pretty well used
up. On being arraigned boforo tho jus-
tlco on Wednesday, the defendant was
bound over to tho district court charged
with assault and attempt to do bodily
harm.
The republican ticket put In nomina
tion on last Friday night was an oxcop
tlonnbly good ono and will go beforo tho
people bb a wieo choico. There is nlways
somo dissatisfaction in city caucuses but
tho ono ot last Friday was well attonded
and each nomination fairly contested,
consequently tho dissatisfaction could
not bo so groat aa horntofore. Thcro la
no question as to tho republicanism of
tho candidates, as that point has bcon
fully established, and as to thoir quail
flcatlons no ono will dispute thoir ability
to copo with tho llnancial problems ot
tho day. On tho wholo it is u good
ticket und ono thut tho party can rely
upon.
Wo ommittod lost woek to mention tho
closo of tho revival meotings ot tho M.
E. church, nnd tho roturn of Evangolist
Powors to Lincoln, and from thero to
other fields of usefulness. During hla
meetings horo tho church wus packod to
excess with people, but tho conversions
wero not aa many aa hoped for. At tho
closo of tho Borvicou voluntary collection
of 8C0 was tukon up for him. Tho peo
plo woro very liberal and slioy e I thut
tho gentleman's efforts woro highly appreciated.

Ouu Phosi'Eot. People now begin to
wonder what Rod Cloud will do in tho
spring, und what will bo her future As
to tho city thoro is probably just ub good
an out look as there haa boon any spring
for many years. Tho farmers aro oven
moro sanguino concerning their prospects
thnn they havo been for many years.
Sho, tho spring, is oponing up beautifully
and groat crops of oats uro going into
tho ground. Thoro is an abundance ot
old corn and other grain in tho country,
and from what wo can learn thoro will
bo an enormous ncroago ot corn this
year. Thoro aro thousands of acres of
raw pruirio being brokon this year, noar
this placo which moans an increasoin the
population ot the country, and a decided
augumontntion ot our annual exports.
As for Rod Cloud there is hardly a sin-
glo doubt but what bIio will hold her
own and wo confidently predict n large
improvement horo this toason. At pre-
sont about all vacant proporty is occupi
ed and considerable building Is contem
plated. Alfalfa. Alfalfa Ib tho now and psp
ulur grass that is attracting gonoral
attention throughout tho country. It is
said thut it bears u romarkablo resemb
lance to swoot clover, nnd that no kind
ot graBB is moro prolific or nourishing.
Ono gentleman tells us that ho had two
fields ot grass on his place, ono of red
cloVor, nnd ono of alfalfa. Ho thon pas
tured them to swlno, nnd declared that
although tho clover had much tho start
tho alfalfa Hold waa pastured down closo
in a short timo, nnd not ovon allowed to
head out. All kinds of stock Boom to
thrive on alfalfa, and farmers overy whero
are rrcardini; it as tho coming Krats ot
this country. W. N. Rlchurdsou'H land
near Inavalo consisting of 1100 acres will
bo seeded in alfalfa this year. Mr. Jones
will also sow alfalfa on n good portion of
hla land. Altogether next spring will
find sovcral thousand acres ot alfalfa in
tins county nlono. Wo aro crodlbJy in
formed that this graia will grow and
thrive on upland as well an on tho bot
tom, und thot tho seed is in big domand
for dyeing purposes. Thoro is no doubt
thut alfalfa lb tho coming gruss.
