Com. The city of Rod Cloud has employed Jas. McNony and brought suit against John W.

Ho will represent the furin department. This is n deserved complimont to Mr. Smith who bears tho marked distinction of being ono of tho most successful in surance ngonts in the state. Wo aro informed by E. J. Ovoring that nn excellent mineral spring has latoly boon found in Nebraska with ox collont medical quahtioa in its wator. From actual tests upon tho most chron ic cases ot kidnoy, lung nnd stomach troubles it has tnado somo wonderful cures. He will ship his family a barrel of tho wator and invites nil those who wish to test the virtues of its curative powers. It is rumored on tho streets as wo go to press that tho council has takon action looking to the discontinuance of street lighting. Wo do not believo that tho people of tho city will concur in tho wisdom ot such a move. Tho city for upwards of two years has beon securing light on tho streotB ut a vory reasonable figure compared with othor towns simi larly situated and tho light bills huvo been applied in set-off of the city's claim against the F & M bank. It is tho un derstanding thut the arrangoraont has been satisfactory to tho pooplo of tho city in general. E. G. Moranvillo has taken full ohargo of the Holcomb livery barn just north of tho Holland houso, and has that placo looking bottor than over before. Ernest has not only takon chargo of the barn, but all its bolongings as well, and despite tho desparate times, ho has pur chased several elegant buggies ot tht latest stylo, Ernest is well known as a horseman and was novor known to drlvo a plug horso ot uny kind. He will doubtless run a good barn nnd got u good patronage. Peoplo in n hurry to go anywhere will do well to call on Ernest, for be has plenty ot iiory steeds und no ono over heard tell ot a Moran villo driving u slow horso. .Ciio M3iin joj uooujoijn Arp ting ojna udj, uofl on, uwojn oaj Our fnteeiuud jniiug friend Ui-ciir Yarger, tho genial telegraph operntor, n'lil Cail Jenkins tho popular band mister, havo spurned tho winrnnio s 11 ilea of their lady friends and deter mined on u f f porenial colebacy having elaborately furnished a suite ef rooms over Ducker's store. Their rea sons for wanting to "bach" are numer ous. Ono says that by so doing their living in not no expensive. Another siijh thnt their food will be more hearty, nnd Stewart Albright thinks it was nil done so they can come home at i! n. m "without tho folks gotting on." Their rooms aro nicely arranged with"brusslcB carpets on tho floor, and street cars run ning by tho door." also a tlno librarv and a dissecting room. It is said that they navo pnotimatio tubes running down to (Seo. Lindsey's shop for meat, and an other running to Miner Bros, store for groceries. They haven't laid the tube to Polnioky'fl place of buslnesi yet. Tho rooms ure heHted by electricity furninhed by tho cats which hold nocturnal visits on their back porch. There used to bo a poker table In tho dissecting room, but Jenkins tore tho dodblnsted thing up, nnd makes larger say bis prnjors before breakfast. The first bushel of beans cooked were thrown away by Ynrger, because he said they were wormv, when in fact they wore the best of beans, but simply had dark germs, nnd tho samo day Jenkins used rough on rats for baking powder, and upset a can of hot lard on himself when he discovered his error. Several of their bachelor friends dined with them Sun day, nt which time was served a feast far ahead of anything over had in Red Cloud. But for lack space wo would givo tho monu. - Tho other day our friend, . M. Coch rane, saw 11 lad swinging on ono of the trees in tho yard surrounding tho Con gregational church. Rob admonished tho youngster in regard to tho liability of breaking tlio treo, but young Ameri ca kept right on swinging, unmindful of tho ndvico of his superior in years. All of n sudden crack went tho tree, and thon commenced a hot race. Tho kid was n veritable Nancy Hanks as he prancod over tho commons nnd around tho fonco corners, with Robert in closo pursuit. Sometimes the rnco was most oxciting nnd tho participants were neck nnd neck, and young Amorica, when Robert got too close, would appenlingly cry out "Don't, mister! Don't, mister!" but Robert relentlessly pursued. Tho race was about over und tho boy was about in tho grasp of his pursuer, when down wont McGinty full length on the ground, tearing his pants, and just out ot his reach lay tho boy in the mud. Both adversaries guzod ut each other and took fresh breath, but the younger boing tho quickest, got up liret and Bcramblod out of harm's way before Robert could gnin his equilibrium. The raco wub over und tho boy was declared winnor by common consent. It wus a wholo lot of fun for tho boys, but hard our friond's pants. Death claims its own. An unusual number ot our worthy poople have obey od his command and uro gone from our midst. Archibald Thompson passod on, in his journey, last Saturday a. m., March 2d, after n long, useful, ovontful scholarly, busy, christian and honorublo career. Born in Ireland,, spent over three months on tho deep sea, taught school twenty-three years witnout 11 break, lived in a high intellectual atmos phere nnd has gone to join his equals boyond. Eighty-four years on ourth to bo followed by eighty-four years in Heaven, und more. His children gather about his feet nnd honor their futhor. Ono son. a minister, amid flowers in California, will meet him in tho hoights and tell him that diatanco alone uro- vented his presonco nt tho timo of tho burial; but will bo on timo at tho resur rection nnd greet him then nnd thoro. Father Thompson was n teacher of youth ot men. He was nt homo with mathematical dilllcultics. Having spont his lifo in toaching in Canada, ho re- ceivou a pension when lie could not fol low his profession any longer. Ho lived for a purpose Death does not ond all. It is with him a groat beginning. J.K.M. Tho question nrises, who will bo may or? Tho ndministrntion coming to a close soon has been a good ono und Mayor Roby nnd tho council have dono ull in their power to givo tho city an honest and economical administration. Owing to the low valuation cf city prop orty for tho last two or thrco years, tho levies huvo boon too smull to be of much bonoflt in making noccssury improve ments, yet tho council has paid off 81000 worth of bills belonging to its predeces sor, besides repairing walks, buying hoso, paying interest, making repairs, buying coal, &a. The mayor und coun cil havo to bo governed according to the exigoncos of tho occasion und tho Inw boaring on tho snme. Tho lovy has to be mndo according to tho vuluation, and only 85 per cent ot tho lovy enn bo used legally, nnd when thnt is done, warrants cannot bo issued furthor. It is easy to docry tho council, but is thoro any other sot ot men thnt can do better tbnn tho present council undor the circum stances ? We think not. Tuko your wagon work to StapUton.
