In speaking of tho engagement at
Manila last Saturday night and Sunday
n report says: "The First Nebraska
received tho oarlh st assault of Filip
inos, nnd repulsed it with splendid
courage. Other western regiments
nnd batteries were engaged and drove
tho insurgents back from the city. It
was n tight of far west volunteers, in
which Nebraska won high distinction,
her only regiment in the Philippines
seasoned nud disciplined, hurloJ back
the insurgents' attack at tho very be
ginning of the light."
Tho weather tho past week has been
tho most severe, steady cold tho coun
try has ever experienced. Tho ther
mometer has, as a rule, been below thu
zero point, and at times has seached as
low sis twenty-one degrees hoiow zero.
Yesterday nnd today the snow came
down in a plentiful quantity, and now
should the wind start to blow, the en
tiro west would iind itself in tho clutch
of one of the most intense blizzards
ever experienced. Already groat loss is
reported from over the west and should
tho present ftorm result in a blizzard
tho loss would be inestimable.

dial invita ion to those meetings.

Not wishing to do injustice to any
one wo wish to bog pardon of Matthew
B. for thinking that he was tho party
who confiscated aud buried 300 feet
moro or less of city water pipe as wo
havo been told by reliablo authority
that ho did not do so, ho only having
been an accessory, in tho fact that he
as mayor of tho city guve his consent
to another party to confiscate and bury
the said pipe to bo tiled as n drain pipo
for his building. Wo hopo this expla
nation will tie satisfactory. We think
it is only fair that tho pipo bo passed
around and wo think wo ought to bo
noxt, or if thu present city council do
not care to loan it further, they can
send us round a load of city coal and
we'll agree to return what is left after
tho winter is over, evon if it bo tho
ashes'.
On Thuitidav night last as Joseph
Jacobs was going homo accompanied
by William Hayes and was down on
tho road near the creamery Jacobs was
knocked down and robbed of a con
siderable .iiiui of money. Jacobs is in
the habit of getting on periodical j.igs
and he probably took on board a con
sidcrublo amount of tho fiery liquid.
During his may up town he had boon
free in showing up his monoy. Ho
had been in company with Juno Bunt
and Will lliiycsand they wore arrested
as his assailants, but Hayes claims that
ho was also knocked down. Tbo men
had a preliminary hearing beforo Judge
Duffy. Bent waived examination and
Hayes stood trial and both wore bound
over for trial at tho noxt torm of dis
trict court and as they could not pro
duce the required $500 bonds wero sent
to jail. Jacobs is the man who got
jaggy about a year ago and drove a
small boy away from his corn popper
taking possession himself. Ho was ar
rested at this time and sont to jail.

It lias been observed i eeeutli tlmt il
Is nn eiier tiling to bring a libel suit
against an editor than it N to send him
totliepcnitetitiaiy Anj editor, in anj
town, might be the defendant in a half
dozen libel Mits if he out) would tell
what he knows, in his paper.-In not
one of the.se would he be convicted for
ho would tell the truth. The editor is
a far seeing pcioun and lots of things
eonie under his eye which would be un
noticed by others He often ohscivos
things behind the scenes which, If he
would hi lug before the public, would
start libel suits nud divorces. Of
com. so we're not going to tell you bow
many married men thero are in town
who dellglit ut night to take a walk
with sweet sixteen. Talking about
sweet sixteen, some of the darling gills
of that age took exceptions to what
appeared in tills column in regaid to
"flirting with show fellows, etc." We
are Mi ry girls, but you were mistaken
us to the motive which prompted tho
writing, us thu writer of "Almost For
gotten" last week was thu married part
of this office. We guess thejlaugh is on
our side, and, rumembur girls, that you
are nut the only s(h)olls on the beach.
Thoro aro others. Wo might givo
you lots of good advice with no other
motive than your own welfnro and
certainly not becnuso of thu ono attrib
uted by you. But to change tho sub
ject. How many of our business men
who nro against tho largo department
houses in Chicago, such us Sears, Roe
buck & Co., and Montgomery, Ward &
Co., will givo tho nowspnpors credit
for refusing to accept their advertis
ing? Very few. Wo have done this
very thing in the past two weeks al
though wo would receive cash payment
for tho spneo wanted with a term
guarantee. Tho business man, bo
whatever his stock of goods, is dam
aged bv theso department stores. Wo
have from time to lime refused tho ad
vertising of foreign houses helling
dry goods, clothing, buggies, etc., and
still theio arc persons hero who denl
in theso lines who do not do ten cents
worth of advertising in a year and do
not appreciate the fact that we aro re
fusing good money in order that their
business .nay not bo damaged by tho
department store octopus. Where aro
you getting your job work brother?
aro you sending out of town for it or
do you get it from your homo printer?
Redj Cloud hns had u real hold-up.
This time tho fellow was knocked down
and his monoy takon away from him
in tho regulation way ns practiced by a
professional highwayman. This Iiub
caused no end of talk. But when you
como to think of it this is nothing.
Wo havo had hold-ups for years, only
tbo poor victim was not knocked
down, but was nevertheless hold-up
and robbed just tho same, even when
ho had his eyes open and his thinking
apparatus was working. Wo havo
still a number of hold-ups in town.
Speaking about hold-ups, did it over
occur to you that under tho cover of
darkness most of tbo meanness is

Resolved, That we extend to our be

sympathy in this their darkest hour of
affliction, and pray that Ho who can
comfort them "as ono whom bis moth

"Even so Father for it seemed good in
thy sight," finding consolation in their
loveliness in tho thought that their bo

from all weariness nnd pain in thoso
