PRESENT DAY THOUGHTS. 1 11V "NK.MO." f (CopfivrlKlitcil by Dunuit Tabor.) vvvvvvvvvvvirvvvv4 Thcro Is ti tumloncy among somo thinkers to regard tlio present war as u turriblu reversion to barbarism. They think of it as a turning of tlio back upon civilization. I will ngreo with them if tlioy arospoaKing of Spain, but I will not agree with them if they are peaking of tho United States. The ar guments they advance are tamilar enough and well understood: that war arouses tho worst passions of men; that civilization gains more during the quiet times of peace than in tho bustl ing hours of wir; that tho advancing thought of the world favor.s bloodless ar bitration. Wo should ho unbiogrchsivo indeed if we did not agree in a general way with all these ttatentonts for they are all true, but they are mil always true. They are untrue in relation to ourselves. This we can dare to say though fully aware that here and there in our forces are men of violent feeling who rejoice in killing; but these no more color the general character of our hosts than one blot of ink colers tho groat rolling, health giving sea. First thon; why aro wo lighting? Be cause the best impulses of a nation's heart have been stirred. Kveu in tho excitement of actual warfare those same good inlluences impol us. Like David's men of old wo take our swords In our hands and o reckon our lives as little, if wo may hut be able to place n cup ot cold water at parched lips. It is a horoie war, as we have nothing to gain except the doing of good, and everything to loe if the fortunes of war should turn against us. . u not seek the light lVae U attrutixe to nur great eniiiiiicivi.il ii.iti.ni. Hut boiatisi- we li iw lei .inns, sincl hi-cui.-c wv uiii'M-hes have siilli red fi.mi up prisi.in, we limn the highest nn,ties s'uup tniin utir lofty e-.i'ite to thrultie the dogged blood-thirstiness of a djing nation. Right under the .shadow of our noble laud, this creation of tlu lifleenth century in the agony of its own approaching dissolution was seek ing to drag down to similar distress and destruction thousands of harmless ones. What could we do? Speak against it? Wo did and failed to stop it. What then? Argue with a man deaf to mercy, and make signs to a man blind with bloody hatred? No! wo smote and shall smite, bo tho cost what it may, until this remnant of the dark ages learns that tho policy of pirates does not pay at the end of tho nineteenth century. So far from it being true that we are hot to kill; I dare to a II! nil that thine is in this country's great heart n feel ing of roul sympathy fur the rank and ii.e of tho Spanish army and navy. It i-ng.ilnst the Spaiiiih oilloia! vtcin iii' wo war, and w sorrow over the i . conscripted boys who are made i itnpli iiieniM of murder in the i unls of their superior ulhYcrs. TIhm- fellows are tot illy unlike our Ijoj who realize that they are "the people,1' Hit' "the people" are the country and when the country is at war the people are at war. Hut our ill chid opponon' having no iiarrcl with Cuba and no reason to Ir.tto us, are lorood into com bat ill-fed, and heart les.slj. What did tho combat at Manila indicate., or tho pro upt dismantlement of Sail Juan, or Cardenas, or Matauzaa? That Spain 111 MAI 1 II .vas si uiiprogrosive and so altogether unlit for rule that It became simply a murderer of its own people, by placing them in dangerous positions an I yet leaving them absolutely unprepared f ir successful combat. Badly otllcered and absolutely bereft of the feeling that makes the American soldier conscious of his oneness with his olllcer, they have been led out like sheep to the slaughter. They have Jbeen sacrillccd by ollicial neglect and ollicial greed; for it is well understood that tho mon ey set aside by tho Spanish govern ment for food, for equipment, and for target practice has gone to lino ollicial pockets. If the brutality of Spain to wards tho roconcontradoos wore not Milliclent to have tilled up tlio vial of its doom, tho criminal neglect of tho most ordinary training for its own de fenders is enough to bring it to an end as ono of the powers of the earth. V By all that is merciful in humanity; by all that there Is of dumb agony in the hearts of Spanish peasant mothers who will mourn for the sons torn from them and then robbed of every chanco of life; by all tho lives of our own, en trusted to tho United States, for a harsh deed that has, like tho surgeon's wound, mercy in it; by all tho horrors in Cuba that wo would bring to an cud let us hope for short, sharp, decisive work. Then will this nation whoso ideal is peace, cease from chastising tho culprit, tenderly watch for a while tho now republic, and progress oncu more along the path of its own won drous destiny, as a guardian ol human rights and human aspirations in the western hemisphere.

Last Monday demonstrated better than anything could tho necessity of a band in a city the size of Bed Cloud The Decoration day parade to the cem etery and return was made without a note of music, and only tho thumping of a drum at the head of the school children to keep them in step. An ef fort was made some time ago by some of theol 1 band boys to raise money to buy a new set of Instruments but till to no avail. Some of tho most prominent merchants would givo nothing, others would put their mimes down for the iusigtiilicaiitsum of one or two dollars, while a few subscribed inoro liberally with live dollars. In all in tho neigh borhood of eighty dollars was sub scribed, and tho boys concluded that there was no use of organizing, as they would not receive sulllclont support to make it a success, Tho amount neces sary for instruments would bo between ISM) and 30O and should bo raised without any trouble among our busi ness men and citizens. Wo aro in hopes that another effort will bo niado in tho near future for tho organization of a band, which will bo more liberally encouraged than tho previous ono, and that an oigani.:ition will bo perfected. Last week wo mentioned tho fact that (us Boats, ono of our numerous cattle feeders, had shipped a lino lot of cattle to Kansas City. This week Mr. Boats received word from Armour & Co., the Kansas City packers, that they wore- tho finest, lot of heifers they had ever killed, and dressed 01. 1 per cent. This certainly speaks well for -Mr. Boats and shows that ho thor oughly understands feeding Jcattlo and also shows that Nebraska Jhas put tho best cattle on tho market of any stato in tho west. Perhaps it would bo a good plan for some other feeders to take u few pointers from Mr. Boats as it would insure them top prices for their eattlo on tho eastern markets. I was seriously alllietcd with a cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without re ceiving much relief, and being recom mended to try a bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy by a friend, who, knowing mo to bo a poor widow, gavo it to me, I tried it, and with tho most grntifying results. Tho first bottle re Moved me vory much and tho second bottlo has absolutely cured mo. I givo this cortilicato without solicitaion, simply in appreciation of tho gratitude felt for tho euro effected.
