There ought to bo a luw prohibiting
tho manufuuturo and salo of largo Ore
crackers and toy pistols After every
Fourth of July celebration the whole
country Is shocked with the number
of deaths caused by these senseless
noise makers. The number of lives
lost annually amounts to many hund
reds and the chief enjoyment derived
from them scorns to be thegrlof caused
to some innocent bystanders. This
ought to be stoped. A good fine for
selling such dangerous articles would
go tar to do away with their use. Then,
too, the noise is very disturbing to
those who aro disposed to be thought
fully inclined, That great pessimist,
Sohoponhaurer, bitterly complained of
the cracking of a whip on tho street
and entered into lengthy terms con
cerning the useless, senseless distur
bers of quiet and peace. Had he lived
in the land of the stand-pipe fire
cracker he might have made his
noblest effort in its condemnation.
Some little Interest has been mani
fested in our proposal to tho
Alumni association and wo desire to
again call uttentlon to that ono phaso
of our educational systom. The asso
ciation stands for nothing. 'At present
it lacks publloity, for the public knows
little If anythlug of its inner workings.
As far us wo have been ublo to leum,
all tho work of entertalng tho gradu
ating class falls upon threo or four
individuals. Tho collector is lu many
instances looked upon as a begging
solicitor, ho is compelled to travel tho
city from north to south and from
ca-t to west many tlmos before tho
noccessary funds havo been colloctod.
This is all wrong. Mombers of thnt
association should fool it n pleasure to
pay their annual duos without urging
or even roquost. But that stato of
affairs will never be reached if tho
present modo of conducting tho pro
gram is coutluuod. Tho only way to
make this a success, in our humblo
opinion, is by combining all tho intel
lectual forces of tho city aud making
Alumni night tho night of tho year.
This can easily bo done by giving a
llttlo thought earlier lu tho year, pro
paring for something that will bo a
stimulant to slumbering talents. The

I FLead This Carefully I
I am making lots of Farm Loans.
There are reasons for this. I can close a
loan for you in three days after taking your
application, for these reasons:
You do not have to wait and pay for a
man to examine the land. My company has
oceans of money. You do not wait for them
to sell your loan in New York or London
before getting the cash.
You can Pay Off at Any Time
without giving a day's notice of your inten
tion so to do. All other companies require
from 30 to 60 days notice on this point.
I have so many different plans for making
loans that some one is bound to suit. No
one can give better rates.

Gtllsnr Bros.' Skin CialR.
Gollmar Bros.' big railroad show U
in the city today and gave their after
noon performance at the bead of Sev
enth avenue west. The weather was
ideal for a circus and it was a first-class
performance that Gollmar Bros, put
on. At about 10 o'clook thoy gave
their parade, which was very good,
contaiuiog among other things, seven
open dens of animals. In addition to
a very fine circus performance they
carry a first-class monagorio of wild
animals, which is very interesting.
The show this afternoon opened at
about 2:30 and was good, very good
indeed. Thoro was hardly a poor act
in the entire show. It wat a good,
clean performance and gave splendid
satisfaction to the Inrgo number that
attended. Another performance will
be given this evening nt 8 o'clock.

Modern Surgery.
Many peoplo havo a horror of surgi
cal operation, nud believe thoy should
only bo resorted to when tho last hnpo
is gone. In tho past few months quite
a numbor of peoplo living In Red
Cloud ntid vloinity huve submitted to
operations, some of them of n very
sorious nature. Among tho most suc
cessful specialists in this line is Dr.
Thad H. Woodward, of Lincoln, who
has had soveral cases from Red Cloud,
all of which have been successfully
treated. In twenty yen's' practice Dr.
Woodward has not lost a patient as the
result of an operation, which is a
record to be proud of. When people
becomo moro familiar witlt tho methods
used in treating theso cases they will
not have tho fear of them which now
prevails.
