ALMOST FORGOTTEN.
Little Stuff Which Almost Escaped the Pub
lic Eye Through Carelessness.
Now that tho oluotrio light proposi
tion has got its quiolus, tho business
mon who havo been waiting and long
log for somo light whioh would not
tako tbo tinio of their clerks all morn
ing to get ready for night, will begin to
put in gasoline lamps or any new
fanglcd oil lamps which will conic tho
Mcnrcsl to electricity. There aro sev
eral things which helped defeat tho
proposition ono of which was Individ
dual dog-in-tho-mangerisni. This is
long word but if you will run it down
you will find tho meaning to he self
interest. This will kill a town quicker
than any thing wo know ovon of pes
tllonco. But then let'or go wo'vo gone
homo darker nights than tho ono on
whioh tho proposition was defeated by
tho council and wo can stand it for tho
next ton years, for electrio light com
panies will not flood our city with
propositions in the near future. Ev
ery company whioh makes a business
of putting in electric light plants, will
in tho course of tho next two weeks
know that our city council would not
grant an electrio light franchise. But,
leta turn our attention to the old rook
ery on the oorner.--The rookery with
the tumble-down chimneys, the sink
ing floors, the brokea windows. An
electrio light would not look well with
its rays directed against this building
of antiquated architecture. The old
rookery stands there as a blight to the
fact that our city is prosperous. Evem
tho dogs, whioh know a good thing
when they seo it, run softly up tho
baok stairs, traverse the deserted rooms
and stretch themselves lazily on tho
"shell" which adorns, this landmark,
built in tho days before Red Cloud was
a city, heforo alio had electrio lights,
a street railway, water works, bank
robbors, hold-up-mon, jaotc-tho-kissers,
yellow-hammers and a f ow old grannies
who think our city will becomo bank
rupt by somo corporation putting iu a
heating plant and heating our city
through underground mains in the
year 1990. When we think of tho poem
beginning, "Woodman sparo that Cot
tonwood" or words to that effect, it
makes us sad to think that some ruth
less council will condemn this building
of olden days and happy memories,
havo it torn dowu and upon its site be
reared a stately building upon thodomo
of which will be an enlarged reproduc
tion of Matt Bentley'sbat surrounded
by a cirole of electrio lights and bear
ingonthohat band thereof tho single
word "progression." Another bad man
or bad girl, or bad boy has boon re
ported to us as being an oaves-dropper.
Now wo do not know whother tho
eaves-dropper, ho or she, practiced
with his hoaring apparatus. on tho ten
dor words of a loving couplo or not,
but it is a bad habit anyway and tho
porson so addicted should tako tho
anti-enves-dropper euro tho samo as
somo tako anti-jag. This habit often
leads to being pumped full of load and
being compelled to tako tho lead euro
which is not always a suro antidote.
Wo aro not surprised that wo have
eavos-droppers. Eaves-droppers like
somo other people we havo mentioned,
got in their work undor tho friendly
covor of darkness when not even ono
ray from an electric light causes ho or
sbo to turn from their nefarious work.
Thero is ono thing which has gone
through without somo one seolng a
teal or a scheme jn it and that is the
telephono franchise. They tell us
that the bad boy was much in evidence
at the opera houso last Friday night
and that portions of Mr. Mercer's ex
planations in regard to tho pictures
was entirely lost by tho general bub
bub. Some of the misbehaving kids
have been marched to Sunday school
reaularly but they evidently forgot
their toacbing on this occasion. Ono
of tbo kids amused himself by climbing
on of tho iron supports in tne center
isle, and another took a header from a
ateu-laddor ou which he was poiched,
and which another kid tipped over.
Tho entortulnment might havo beou
"fl termed tho "Kids taking of the opera
houso."

While rending an obituary recently
out attention was nttractcd to the fol
lowing ser.tonco: "This lifo brought
Mr. neither famo nor money, hut
ho was an honorablo mail who com
manded tho steadfast frioudship of
thoso who know him best, and tbo ro
spect of overyono who know him at all."
It was but a modest scntonco and
might pass unnoticed by tho hurried
reader, and yet what a world of mean
ing was convoyed by thoso few words.
Hero was a man who had lived to a
ripe old age, passed away to tho groat
beyond, compelled to leave as a record
that his life had brought him neither
famj nor money. Undoubtedly tho
samo advantago camo to him as to oth
ers, who havo been able to draw their
checks for ' unlimited amounts. He
probably lived comfortable and st per
feet peace with his fellow man. When
the final summons camo bo took away
with him Just as much famo and money
as tho millhnalre will take and be left
behind an honorable name, for be bad
beea an honorablo man. He command
ed the steadfast friendship of those
who knew him best, because ho valued
Honor above riches. Dame and money
aro good things to havo on earth, but
an honorable name is bettor to leave
behind than everything.
Tbo postofllco department rules that
children going to and from school
shall not bo allowed to stop in and cap
ture tho postofllco threo times a day. If
tho paronts want tho school children to
get the mail thoy must send a written
ordor. Tbo postmaster should onforco
the ruling, at least to tho oxtont of in
sisting that only ono menibor of tho
family shall ask for mail. At present,
it does not matter how many children
there are in tho family, each ono will
march in and ask if thero is any mail.
Paronts who want their mail brought
homo by their children, should appoint
one to get tho mail for tbo weok and
adviso tho others to go on about their
affairs.
As the season of tho year whon pneu
monia, la grippe, sjre throat, coughs
colds, catarrh, bronchitis, and lung
troubles are to bo guarded against,
nothing "is a lino substitute," will "an
swer tho purpose," or is "just as good"
as Ono Minuto Cougn Cure. That is
tho ono infallible remedy for all lung,
throat or bronchial troubles. Insist
vigorously upon having it if "some
thing else" is offered you. O. L, Cot-
ting.
m
Tho Beloit Call sizes tho avorngo
reader up about right in tho following;
"It is strango how closo men rend the
papers Wo nover say anything mon
don't like but wo soou hoar of it. If,
however, wn happen to saj a good
thing we never hear of that nobody
seems to notico it wo must pay some
men a hundred compliments, and give
him a dozen puffs, and be takes it as a
tributo to his greatness nover thinks
it does him any good. But if wo hap
pen td'aay anything this man don't like
or somotblng ho thinkB reflects on his
character, seo how quickly ho flies 'up
and gets excited about it."
For frost bites, burns, indolent sores,

ment of n good article. Worthless
