IncldtnU ol Every Day Life Which Vwy
Few People Stop to Think A.bout on
Accouut of Their Littleness.
It is rather a peculiar coincidence
that upon the announcement of tho re
moval of ono of our divines from tho
city tho placn has taken on undeniable
signs of activity Wholher this was an
omen of good or not wo are not pro
pared to say but it is nover-thodess
true that we hnvu two brick buildings
near beginning and in course of con
struction A town dividfd ngalnst It
self will never make much headway
and it is an undisputed fact that the
town has in n ureal measure been di
vided since the advent of this man to
our city. Koiuo of tho worst cnmltlus
between man and man that have ever
been wore duo to his prescucu here and
his radical Ideas. Two brick buildings,
ono an oponi house, which were con
templated, were lost to us on his ac
count. Hut ho is gone. Let us be
frionds, work for her interests and
stand up for Red Cloud. Rut while we
are talking tho Chikv is going to tako
some credit for tho brick buildings.
Wo have been talking them up for a
long time and while they did not plant
them where we wished, those spots
will bo built up with brick later.
There will bo no "Woodman sparo that
tree" cry when tho tearing down pro
cess is commenced on tho Noah's Ark.
Nothing has been beard lately in to
gard to the poultry show but wo know
one entry that will bo inado when the
time oimes This will be James
Swearingon's fainwus pot goosu Jim
mio has tho only and the greatest goose
that ever caino down the plko. Ho
is chuck full of intelligence, almost
human, nnd has been known to follow
Jim up town like a dog. lit is full of
all kinds of tricks and will kneel down
and say his prayers, stand on tho
ground and eat corn from the top of u
barrel nnd hop onto .Jim's Inp and go
asleep. Ho will bo ono of the big at
tractions and carry oh all tho pro
niiums in his class. Just now the coal
man will got his inning and tho lec
man will tako n rest until tho time
conies to hat vest another crop At
this time as a little frosty weather
strikes tho wayward youth in tho ice
croam wants ho elves a sigh for tho
money ho shoved across the table to
"swectcu" the Jack pot. The ono who
did not dabble with tho jack pot but
hammered on tho b.r for a gin Hz., a
Thomason, a sour, a straight, a cock
tail, and put his faco next a foaming
mug of beer nnd tho innumerable list
of iced drinks, Is also sad. Then thero
is another who eschowod tho fascinat
ing pastimes before spoken of. Ho ts
tin-ono who dallied with tho summer
girl Ho thinks ot the number of
horsoti he paid tho liveryman for which
still belong to the liveryman nud the
numerous little entries on the book
against him where ho did not pay for
the horse A cold chill runs down his
spine when liu thinks of the money
that will never come back which was
spent on this same summer girl for ico
cream lemonade, chocolate soda, melon
ice, white wings, Hobson, sunshine and
Dewey. Ho lias a fit of chills whon ho
thinks of that last years overcoat
which will have to bo replaced by an
other ono in ordor to retain this same
girls affection. Whon those young tnon
think of that uow winter outfit they
nood they will feel sorry that thoy
dhta't tuke hoed to that beautiful strain
which runs thusly: "Have courage my
ooytosnyno.havecouragemy hoy, etc"
Thoro is a certuin class of people in
every community who think themselves
real euto whon thoy are doing certain
jft things, nnd everybody else thinks thoy
2j are trying to make as big fools out of
themselves ns possiulo.For instaueo

talking to them individually, and that
their room Is hotter than their com

alnno to populists nud democrats at a
republican mooting. It nlso applies to
republicans at populist meetings. We
liavo seen republicans commiting an

good spanking, and we have seen pop

meeting where their room would bo

A Letter from Racine, Wisconsin.
Racine is n great aud growing oitf .
New manufacturing buildiugs are go
in up nil thu ilni". It has 30,000 inhab
itants, nnd all who will work aro get
ting rich. Tho surrounding country Is
very productive, hardly over a failuro
of crops. Tho farmers aro all well to
do, but they work hard. Wo drove
down to Kenosha ono day, it is cloven
milwfl south on tho lake. 1 had a good
chance to sco the country. The fruit
trees nmnza me, thoy aro so loaded
with fruit. The farmers nil havo large
houses and barns, with lino surround
ing grounds, and aro very prosperous.
Kenosha is one third ns large as Racine
nnd is n very beautiful tow::, tho man
ufacturing buildings and not being sit
uated right in tho heart of tho city im
proves tho looks of it. They claim
that their tanning nnd leather estab
lishment is the largest in tho world. It
is certainly very largo. .Wo have noth
ing 111 Nebraska like tho resldcn'co ay.'1-'''
enues with a lake view Hint thoy havo
in both of thoso towns. Tho pooplo
aro peculiar nnd soom to bo nntlvcs of
all countries, and ovon the islands of
tho sea. I havo made the acquaint
ance of somo from the Orkney islands,
and thoy nro very nice pooplo too.
There aro very fow Americans. Ono
day my niece nnd I wont to Milwaukee!
Wo walked four blocks nnd took an
electric car which took us to tho city
hall in the heart of tho Cream City,
twonty-livo miles for thirty cents. Tho
ride through the country nnd the small
thrifty towns wnsvery pleasant. After
looking around tho city and visiting
home of the department stores we went
to Lake Park. Tho lako fascinates mo.
I like to look nl it, but I don't want to
rido on it, ns it is very treacherous this
month. Very many accidents have
happened on it ainco I havo been here.
At Lako Park we foujd somo very In
teresting nionumonts. Ono- was of
Solomon Juneau, tho first white man
that ovor sot foot in Mllwnukoe, and
was tho first mayor of tho city. On
one sido ho is represented ns just land
ed and trading with tho Indians for
furs, and on tho othor ho is proslding
ovor tho council as mayor.
Another oo was of "Lief, son of
Eric," and it staUs that ho came from
Iceland nnd discovered America A. 1).
1000. Ho stands with ono hand at his
buck holding a big horn, tho othor
shading his brow as though 'to bo
sure it is land ho sees. Jit was probably
put up by the Scandinavians to com
mommorato tho uucortnln farao of
thoir countryman.
The weather has been very cool Uer
since the 15th, but it is pleasant. lrult
is ploatiful in tho city, apples IS cents'
por busWol, poaches from tonto twonty
cents per basket, and everything else
in proportion. There aro many demo
crats hero, and they all say thoy have
prospered greatly under the prescab
administration, but still they think it
will bo bettor to havo a change and
thoy cannotgivo ono good and suf
liclont reason for n change.
Tho month will oloso noxt weok and
I will bo back in Red Cloud.
