Who says that there is nothing do ing in Webster county'.1 Who com plains of stugant monotony in the vicinity of Bladen? Why read dime novels, attend mov ing picture shows, or talk of Tuft utid Teddy, when there arc thrills upon thrills right here at homo? Two mouths ago, Joseph Hciurichs, an old resident of Webster county, near Bladen was living a life of ordin ary tranquility, undisturbed by any thing suvo his hourly thirst forutnoth er drink, n thirst which lie iiad provid ed ample m cans for temporary gratilicittion. Pased from sodden stupor to awak ening horror, from horror to happiuei-s, ami from happiness to stupor, Mr. Heimich's hours weio rythmlcally employed' innocuously to every one save himself and his neglected family. Somewhere in Omaha, at the same time, a lady occupied quarters ou Farnham 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 io a common direction. Onthe 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 Heinrlch's family. This indignation wa quickened by tiie 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, arid atonce assumed h protective interest in her welfare. He came witli h physical demonstration that threatened trouble to anybody who might presume to in terfere in the marital prosperity of the newly wedded woman. A conversation between the stranger pair wab overheard In which the son of Joseph Hoinrlohs, Frank, a young man twenty-four years of ago, was marked out for a general carving pro cess, which would make lire for him an affair of immortal Interest only. On Monday the precious pair drove to lllue flill and attempted to sell the young mail's team, claimed to be a wedding preseut from the father to ills bride. The team was repleviued from them at the suit of Frank Hein rlchs, the fjon, and liernaid McNeuy was hastily summoned to Hladcn. Events began to move with celerity. On Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Hedge appealed upon tho scene, aud by Tuo--day night, the bride groom, the bride, and her imported protector, were all safely lodged in tho county jail, Wed nesday the bride and her foreign ally wero bound over to tho next term of the district com l in the sum of one thousand dollais each, and con fined to jail until tho bond should he foith coming. Joseph Holurlohs, the bride groom, was declared a fit subject for the itisauu asylum, aud peace spreads her gently brooding wings over the quiet people of llladen. "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. J - tut Weeks Each Year Fr $1,30. The Boy Scouts and Ny Boy ATrut Story lor Mothers, by a Mothtr Long before I was married 1 thought oat 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. Theit by and by I faced the prac tical side of the matter, for by and by there was a boy to cull me "Mother." If the environment of this boy of my theories had been as Idosl as my theor ies for the boy himself, there never would have been n bit of difficulty; but the inevitable happened. As he grew older, he went witli other boys, of course, and took on their wuys. He was getting to be twelve years old. He gave mo respect and the obedience which I lequired of him; but for pure satisfaction and delight lie turned where but to his own world! I, for all my theories aud wisdom, for 1 hud thought und lived much, and I am generally called a clever woman, fotiud myself finally pitted against a handful of boys who, witli no experi ence, no wisdom, had yet become my boy's demagogues und models. He would go from me whistling, his hands in his pockets, his cap on the back of his head, happy enough. But as he got further away his steps quickened. Ily the time lie leached the gate, he was lilting along with an air of positive gaiety. Then the gate banged; and, as though tho last fetter had snapped, he would pull Ids cap down securely, pick up his legs, give it catcall or u boys' whoop of some sort, aud tear down the street to join his "crowd" in u world of their own. It was a rough world, too, Heaven knows; full of the averuge boy's vices aud crudities rough speaking, uuclean chinking, braggadocios, horseplay, cruelties, and mistakes. There was good in it too, of course, of ite own kind. Hut there were in it, too, the usual "Bully," the usual Braggart, the usual Rowdy; and thore was in plenty that general lawlessness which among boys passes for manliness. Above all, there was the inevitable clan spirit, that native loyalty that binds every boy of auv purtiuulur "crowd" to his crowd, be the crowd goorl or bad. Tlie "linlly" was held up to me us a heio; the Howdy as inexpressibly fuuiiy; the iiiuggurt us wise, uud to be respected above the rest, (lod save the mark! They slapped my boy on tho buck, uud he cairled his shoulders straighten They called him "Micky Mike" (his name was Michael Farraday), aud ho thought it excruciatingly funuy, and delighted in it more than In any praise or appiovul of mine. They sometimes called him by his last name, aud lie was secretly glorified; a man in all but years, lie carried their hoarse shouting approval like a distinction and a reward. As the days went on, und these boys influenced him more and more, there was In the whole situation sufllcient danger and promise of disaster. Oh, 1 thought over it enough, prayed over it enough, and studied the whole question thoroughly, you may be sure. 1 thought of secretly getting some sort of club organized; of appealing to the boys' public school teacher to help me with It. I thought, too, of getting tho uiil of our family physician, a mail who hud always hud the boy's Interests at heart. I thought these men might bo got to warn and lustruct these boys us I could not. 1 thought of a club to meet itt our house uud to have my open sympathy; but 1 wus not so dull as to cling long to that iiiadcqiiulu plan. It was just at this tinio that, there fell into my handssome people would say providentially it little pamphlet called, "Tho Boy Scout Scheme." It told all about the orgunlution, well known and much exploited sluco that time "The Hoy Scouts of America." 1 I took the pamphlet to my room, after the Hoy was In bed, and studied it from cover to cover, as Columbus 5l5l5ip'155Sv5rtWWJJiv SJfrF 1 '' is;wfcj!tJlv'w might have studied n map of the new world, could he have gotten his hands ou such n thing. The pamphlet hud veiy little about mothers In it; significantly little. It dealt direct with the bay's world and interests. The boy's home was not once, I think mentioned In it, but there was a deal about "scoutciaft," "woodcraft," "camporaft," aud tho like, words I had never put together before, aud something, too, about good citizenship. I pored over it. but I did not let the Hoy know this. On the contrary, 1 gave it to him the next mornlug with little show of interest., "Hcie is a pamphlet that was snnt me to adver tise the "Hov Scouts," I said; "but you will probably understand it better tlpm I do." I saw his eye run over the lines. In a moment he was absorbed In it. Here whs something to which his ting ers fell familiar. He tin tied the pages u good deal, us 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 the Hoy Scouts. 1 told you that I am gonerally con sidered a clever woman. In vindica tion of the term I now toll you that I never so much us nioutioned the Boy Scouts to him, and I kept niv hands off. (To be CoiYrnti) lethe Fathers and Mothers and Citliens of the State of Nebraska ofkickoi" ki'am: Finn commission' Lincoln, Xi:iii:.vmc, June nth, '12. We aie t-oou to celebrate tho until veisuryof the birth of this nation. Old uud young alike all recognize the Importance of this occasion and are nil titled with lovnlty and enthusiasm that prompts us to show our apprecia tion of the privileges that we enjoy by reason of the bravery and sua Itlces displayed by our forefathers. There is a solemn duty devolving u; on every citizen of this state 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. Inventive genius is furnishing the toy pistol, fire cracker, roman candle, sky rocket and other explosive means of celebrating the occasion, aud eveiy anniversary of the nation's birth is blotted either with the death or Injury of hundreds of children und a lesser 'number of grown people from these deuth dealing manufactured imple ments that Hre being sold by Healers to children and people who handle and discharge them carelessly. It seems strange that a merchant for the cuke of making u little profit will handle and sell these deadly explosives to children: and what looks stranger still is that the fathers and mothers and 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 CUT NO. !9 NUMBER 25 If A Watch Of Ours Goes Wrong We make it right for you or we make it right with you. WJhich means that you can not be a loser. No we don't take any great chances by offering to do that. Because our watches arc 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., K. II. Newhouse, Prop. C. B. & (J. Watch Inspectors is the duty of every father and mother us well us every other citizen to warn the children and uninformed of tho dangers attending these explosives, so that the number of killed and Injured will be reduced to such an extent that the anniversary of the" nation's 'birth will not be tho anniversary of the death or permanent injury of the boys and girls and cltizons who either through Ignorance of tho danger or over confidence, purchase aud dis charge these deadly explosives that will not only destroy valuable property, bid life itself, if given au opportunity. Let's have a shiio Fouith of July this vein! Lot's out Ice cream, and other good things, drink red lemonade sikU water and pop, make n loud noiso 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. Very truly yours, C.
