The Denver & Kio Grande railroad company has issuod orders that all ouiployos in the operating department shall discard stonisetting watches, no matter how valuable, and accopt tho regulation timo-picco, which must pass muster with tho oflloial inspoctor. This is a very important decision. The railroad compauios of tho land are conscious of tho fact that thoy are servants of tho people, and are putting forth strouuous efforts in tl oir endeav ors to savo lifo and limb. Tho intolligonco of a community is determined by it" schools. Wo arc pleased to nolo that Red Cloud is blessed with a public school system Hint is not surpassed in tho state. It has gained this standing largely by tho faithful co-oporntiou of stipuriti tomlunt and teachers. Fanners and others who wish to rotiro from rural life and glvo their children a lasting education, can do no hotter than to locate in this beautiful and growing city. John Alexander Dowie, the Zionist, gave etidonce on Sunday in a speech at the Auditorium in Chii'ngo, that he is sadly unbalanced in hU mental on-' pauity. lie made a vicious attack upon the llir association, i nlling its mum burs liars and inut deters.

Not for this reason only should a light system ho established, but the citizens of Hod Cloud are entitled to the best of everything going, strcot lights not excepted. Apropos of tho examination of Prince Henry nt Alhiny of the sword alleged to have btuu presented to Washington by Fiedeiiek the Great some iconoclastic scribbler is out with a do nlrl that any such sword was ever sent, and an allegation that tho sword that is exhibited has no inscription on it as advertised "From tho Oldest to the Greatest Soldier." Possibly that doubt account tor tho action of Prince Henry when the sword was handed him, in drawing it from its scabbard, contrary to the rule of the exhibitors. It is alleged that becauso Washington iu his will, distributing his swords, stipulated that thoy should never be drawn save in defense of the country, this sword has reposed in its scabbard continuously for a huudred years. Henry broko tho charm and now the question is did ho tind the alleged in scription anywhere on its hilt or blade Nebraska State Journal. $45 U CallloraU and Return.
