The Nebraska League base ball otarts the season this week. York has live of the players whe kept Kod Cloud In the limelight last year and from all appearances has a winning team. We will have plenty of opportunities to see those games bv going to Hastings nnd Superior. The greatest pleitsnte connected with this method of seeing base ball is tho knowledge that our fun will eost u detlimto sum of money. We will havo no nightmares of a grow ing doticit and will be able to enjoy tho sport to tho limit. The, change in administration of our oity a tralrs did not effect the water we drink in the lenst. Those who were depending upon blind luck to rush in and by a little presto change purify the creek water have been seriously disappointed. No administration can change the complexion uf our city water without funds. Place tho blame where it belongs and do not lay all the city draw backs up against tho city otlleials. The sentiment is slowly lull surely gaining that the only solution to our water problem is to connect our plant with the Maurer springs.

If wo wait long enough wo will not want flloye springs. Tim preparations being made jy the high school commencement reminds us that this school year Is about to close and that another class will min gle with the busy world without,tin nil probability, experiencing the pleasure of nu Alumni bamiuot. Just why this function lias been suspended wo are unable, to learn but It really ought to be an essential part of graduation. If the older members of the Altimui as Kouiatlon do not feet it Incumbent up on thoni to perpetuate this organization we would suggest that the members of last year's class Take the mat.lor In hand and provide a bauipicl. Other places make a great deal of their high school Alumni association and this oily hiirely ought to keep up with the procession. The world would be happier if the people were u Utile more generous with their praise. There is too much llattery, but u word of just apprecia tion would cheer the heart and strengthen the hands of many a (lis cournged worker in the home, in the school, in the church mid in the world. Thore is nothing that is so cheering to a mother's heart, and such a rich recompense for all she has sacrlllccd ami endured, as thu kind, ali'octionato remembrance of her children. There in nothing that can adorn man or woman moro than the tenderness and gentle care they manifest towards their aged parents as they totter on the borders of another world. To Our Graduates '(iiaduated? Yes, nearly every ham let, village, town ami oily at this com mencement season of the institutions of learning, welcome home, thoso who have spent years in hard study and with honors have graduated; and many uro the hopes and expectations centered in you hopes that society will be elevated, many immuials cor rected, wrongs lighted and places of importance bettor lllled. Do you nsk, where is your place? Tho world is be fore you, and though it may seem crowded, there are still many wants' that it does not advertise, to avoid a rush of applicants, but these wants exist, and are, indeed, very pressing and very real, and your compensation will be us ample as you have brains, pluck and energy to earn it. The world wants graduates who are men enough to search out these places and make room for themselves; it wants young women of sulllcient self-reliance to boar the disappointment of not se curing tho first position for which they apply; most of all. it wants char acter, and it very wisely declines to accept a college or school diploma as conclusive evidence of that. There fore we silently whisper, enter into your life work with right motives, earliest ness, zeal and honesty of pur pose, and thoroughness that will satis fy yourself; then others will be satis lied. Realize Hie responsibilities which have come to you, and asstuno them in great humbleness, and yet, in true manliness, and boar in mind, by your fruits ye shall bo known. C. S.

Tompkins Music Choir Benediction How Build or NotBulld tp aToxn When Cain had killed off one-fourth of the people ou the earth leaving only three, then went into the laud of Nod and bulldod a city, it is evident that ho did not sit around like a lump on a log, and growl about the Nod real estate and people. He was not him self, perhaps, the most exemplary of men, and if he had some reason to emigrate from the land uf his birth, ho did not mope and whine, but got hold of a piece of ground and went to work to do something. The man who could build up a city under such aus pices is the kind of material we want iu this town: and we will not inquire too minutely into his antecedents, so that he takes hold like a man and bo good at lust. ltut what is more, Cain did not ad vice his son to "go west, and got out of the old dead town." He named the city after him, believed iu it, worked for it, brought his goods there, and ker.t his money at home. Does any body suppose that when strangers come to Bed Cloud with any notion of going into business here, Cain told them It was a ''dead old town," that it established by a murderer, that the water was bad; its merchants all sharks, and Its mechanics botches that the town was not healthy iul j would ''never amount to anything no . . . , , , ..
