Who says that there Is nothing do
ing in Webster county'.' Who com
plains of stagant monotony in the
vicinity of Bladen'.'
Why read dime novels, attend mov
ing picture shows, or talk of Taft and
Teddy, when there are thrills upon
thrills right here at home?
Two mouths ngn, Joseph Hcturichs,
an old resident of Webster county,
near Bladen was living a life of ordin
ary tranquility, undisturbed by any
thing savo his hourly thirst forjinoth
or drink, a thirst which he hud provid
ed ample in e a n h for temporary
gratification.
Parsed from sodden stupor to awak
ening horror, from horror to happiness,
and from happiness to stupor, Mr.
Helnrich's hours weio rythmlcally
employed' innocuously to every one
save himself and his neglected family.
Somewhere in Omaha, at the same
time, u lady occupied quarters on
Parnham or Douglas street in Omaha
and was engaged in an occupation not
clearly elucidated on the trial.
Through the medium of a newspaper
advertisement these two' lives began
to flow in a common direction. On, the
8th., day of this mouth a wedding
ceremony was performed and two
hearts began to beat with widely diff
ering thoughts. The good people of
llladen were indignant at the prospect
ive robbery of Heinrich's family. This
indignation was quickened by the ar
rival of another stranger from Omaha,
this time a man, who appeared in the
guise of a brother, half-brother, or
other relative of the bride, and at once
assumed a protective interest in her
welfure. Ho came with a physical
demonstration that threatened trouble
to anybody who might presume to in
terfere in tlio marital prosperity of
the newly wedded woman.
A conversation between the stranger
pair was overheard in which the son
of Joseph Holnrlohs, Frank, a young
man twenty-four years of ago, was
marked out for a general carving pro
cess, which would make life for him
an affair of immortal interest only.
On Monday the precious pair drove
to Ulue Hill and attempted to sell the
young man's team, claimed to be a
wedding preseut from the father to
his bride. The team was replevined
from them at the suit of Frank Heln
richs, the son, and Ilernatd McNeuy
was hastily summoned to llladen,
Events begun to movo with celerity.
On Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Hedge
appeared upon the scene, aud by Tues
day night, the bride groom, the bride,
and her Imported protector, were all
safely lodged in the county jail. Wed
nesday the bride and her foreign ally
wero bound over to tlio next term of
the district cnui t in the sum of onu
thousand dollars each, and confined to
j.ill until the bond should be forth
coming. Joseph helnrichs, the bride
groom, was declared a lit subject for
the insane asylum, and peace spreads
her gently brooding wings over the
quiet people of IMaden.
"Ad d good job of railroading,"
was the remark of the imported bounc
er, as the jail doors swung behind him
and his partner in adventure.

The Boy Scouts
and My Boy
A True Story (or Mothers,
by Nothtr
Long before I was married 1 thought
out carefully what I would do with a
boy of my own if I ever had one. I
theorized a good deal, as most women
do. THeh by and by I faced (the prac
tical side of the matter, for by and by
there was a boy to call me "Mother."
If the environment of this boy of my
theories had been as idoal as my theor
ies for the boy himself, there never
would have been u bit of dltlleulty;
but the inevitable happened. As he
grew older, ho went with other boys,
of course, and took on their ways.
He was getting to be twelve years
old. He gave mo respect aud the
obedience which 1 icqttired of him;
but for pure satisfaction and delight
he turned where but to Ills own
world!
1, for all my theories aud wisdom.
for 1 had thought and lived much, aud
1 am generally called a clover woman,
found myself flnallv nitted amilnst a
handful of boys who, with no experi
ence, no wisdom, had yet. become my
boy's demagogues and models.
He would go from me whistling, his
hands in his pockets, his cap on the
back of his head, happy enough.
Dut us ho got fuithcr away his steps
quickened, lly the time ho leached
the gate, ho was lilting along with an
air of positivo gaiety. Then the gate
banged; and, as though the last fetter
Hail snapped, he would pall his cap
down securely, nick un his lei's, irlve a
catcall or a boys' whoop of some sort,
and tear down the street to join his
"crowd" in u world of their own. It
was a tough world, too, Heaven knows;
full of the average boy's vices aud
crudities rough speaking, uuclean
chinking, braggadocios, horseplay,
cruelties, and mistakes. There was
good in it too, of course, of its own
kind. liut there were in it, too, the
usual "Bully," the usual Braggart,
the usual Rowdy; and there was In
plenty thatgeucral lawlessness which
among boys passes fcr manliness.
Above all, there was the inevitable
clan spirit, that native loyally that
binds every boy or auy particular
"crowd" to his crowd, be the crowd
good or had.
Tlie "liully" was hold up to me as a
hem; the Howdy as inexpressibly
funny; the liraggart as wise, and to be
respected above the rest, -Mod save
the mark! They shinned mv bov on
the back, and he cat rled his shoulders
straighten They called him "Micky
Mike" (his mime was Michael Farraday),
aud he thought it excruciatingly
tunny, and delighted in it more thau
In any praise or appioval of mine.
They sometimes called him by his last
name, aud he was secretly glorified; a
man in -all but years. He carried
their hoarse shoutiuir annroval like a
distinction and a reward. As the days
went on, and these boys influenced
him more and more, there was in the
whole situation suflicient danger and
promise of disaster.
Oh, 1 thought over Itenoutrb. nraved
over it enough, aud studied the whole
question thoroughly, you may be sure.
1 thought of secretly KuttliiK some sort
of club organized; of appealing to the
ooys public school teacher to help mo
with It. 1 thought, too. of getting tho
uid of our family nhvslcltm. u. man
who had always had the boy's Interests
at heart. I ttiouuht these men inlalit
be got to warn and lustruet these boys
as 1 could not. I thought of a club to
meet at our house and to have my open
sympathy; but I wus not so dull as to
cling long to that inadequate plan.
It was just at this time that, there
fell Into my hands some people would
say providentlally-u little pamphlet
called, "Tho Boy Scout Scheme." It
told all about the organization, well
known aud much exploited since that
time "The Hoy Scouts of America."
I took the pamphlet to my room,
after the Hoy was In bed, and studied
it from cover to cover, as Columbus
might have studied a map of the new
world, could he have gotten his hands
on such a thing.
The pamphlet had very little about
mothers In it; significantly little. It
dealt direct with the buy's world and
interests. Tho boy's home was tint
once, I think mentioned in It, but
there was a deal about "scoutciaft,"
"woodcraft," "camporaft," aud the
like, words 1 had never put together
before, aud something, too, about
good citizenship.
I pored over it, but 1 did not let the
Hoy know this. On the contrary, 1
gave If to him the next morning with
little show of interest., "Here Is a
pamphlet that was scut me to adver
tise the "Hoy Scouts," I mild; "but you
will probably understand It better
tlpin I do."
I saw his eye run over the Hues. In
a moment he was absorbed in It.
Here whs something to which his ting
els fell familial. He turned the pages
u good deal, as you or I might feel a
piece of silk or linen to judge of the
quality.
That afternoon when he joined the
"gang, ' there went with him the
pamphlet concerning tho Boy Scouts.
I told you that I am generally con
sidered a clever woman. In vindica
tion of the term I now tell you that I
never so much us muutinucd the Boy
Scouts to him, aud I kept my hands

Lincoln, Ni:iii:ajka, June nth, '12.
We are soon to celebrate the anni
versary of the birth of this nation.
Old and young alike all recognize the
importance of tills occasion aud are all
tilled with loyalty and enthusiasm
that prompts us to show our apprecia
tion of the privileges that we enjoy by
reason of the bravery and sacritlces
displayed by our forefathers.
There Is a solemn duty devolving u;
on every citizen of this statu to see to
it that nothing occurs on this occasion
that will mar the festivities or bring
reproach upon the good judgement
and intelligence of its citizens.
Iuveutlve genius is furnishing the
toy pistol, Are cracker, romau candle,
sky rocket and other explosive means
of celebrating the occasion, and every
anniversary of the nation's birth is
blotted either with the death or Injury
of hundreds of children and a lesser
'number of grown people from these
death dealing manufactured imple
ments that Hie being sold by Healers
to children and people who handle
anil discharge them carelessly. It
seems strange that a merchant for the
fuke of making a little profit will
handle and sell these deadly explosives
to children: and what looks stranger
still is that the fathers and mothers
aud older people that know what the
result of the careless handling of these
explosives is will continue year after
year to countenance or permit it. It

If A Watch Of
Ours Goes Wrong
We make it right for you
or we make it right with you.
WJiich means that you can
not be a loser.
No we don't take any great
chances by offering to do that.
Because our watches are
watch certainties.
They have Reputation be
hind them and they aren't
likely to start now to disap
point. Hut if one should, we agree
to be the loser.
What better watch assur
ance could you have than this?
Newhouse Bros.,
E. II. Newhouse, Prop.
C. B. & tj. Watch Inspectors
is the duty of every father nnd mother
as well ns every other citizen to warn
tho children and uninformed of tho
dangers attending these explosives, so
that tho number of killed nnd injured
will be reduced to such an extent that
the anniversary of the' nation's Idrtli
will not b the anniversary of the
death or permanent injury of the boys
ntil girls aud cltlzons who either
through ignorance of tho danger or
over confidence, purchaso and ills
charge these deadly explosives that
will not only destroy valuable property,
bid life itself, if given au opportunity.
Let's have a sstie Fourth of July
this yeur! Let's eat ice cream, and
other good things, drink red lemonade
soda water and pop, make n loud nolso
with our mouth by shouting "Hurrah.'
This will not cause lockjaw or tetanus,
and if we get sick from doing It a little
"Pain Killer" will cure us and we will
not have to send for the Coroner.
