REV. JOHN MCNAMARA , D. D. , died
North Platto , Sunday afternoonat 5:30. :
The intelligence will be received with
the deepest regret. The couse of his
death was paralysis.
THE young women in attendance upon
the Missouri university are in open re
bellion against an order from the facul
ty requiring them to wear a uniform
.hat. The darlings are right. No fool
chump of a man should be allowed for
one moment to believe that he can select
a hat for one woman , much lets a hun
dred. The idea is preposterous even
for a Missouri educator. Topics.
THE people who once knew 11. H.
Montgomery , late editor of this paper ,
will in all probability know him no more.
He forged his wife's name to a $250
mortgage , and drew $700 at the Arapa-
hoa bank and skipped. He left his wife
and child in destitute circumstances ,
flilty's restaurant suffered to the amount
of $30 for boardand , many other houses
he failed to make settlement with. "He
played his hand" for all it was worth
this time , and should he be caught it
would be made warm for him. Cam
bridge Kaleidoscope.
THEY do queer things in Switzerland ,
considering-tbat the Swiss eulogize their
country as "the land of liberty. " The
children of poor people are regularly
hired out by auction in some cantons.
There was a most painful scene recently
in the market place of Biela , town near
Berne , where , in spite of the heart rend
ing appeals of a. widowed mother , the
four young children , ranging from 2 to
10 , were "placed" out for a year to the
highest bidder by the public crier , the
family being thus broken up and sepa
rated for fear lest the woman should be
compelled to seek for assistance from
the town. This is really very nearly as
bad as the old slave sales in America ,
and I should doubt whether there is any
other county in Europe where such an
infamous system exists at the present
time. The Swiss , in reality , are a sor
did , huckstering race.
THE spirit of embezzlement is run
ning riot with such unusual fierceness
that it has caught an editor in a mo
ment of weaTcness and floored him. A.
B. Lewis of the Scotia Tribune has de
parted from among us with $3,500 in
currency in his pocket and sensations of
pain and mortification behind him. The
money and sensations both belong to
other people. He first started on the
downward path by becoming involved
in a heated personal argument with a
brother editor. From this the descent
was easy to crimes which , while no more
reprehensible , are looked upon more
coldly'by the public and are punishable
by law. Let it be a warning , brethren ,
that we preserve our amity. People do
not think any too much of amity as a
rule , but after wide observation and
careful experiment we conclude that it
is the sustaining keystone of the arch
of virtue. Topics.
SHERIFF S. L. KENDALL , of Weld
county , Col. , armed with a requisition
from Governor Eaton , of that statevis ,
ited Aurora , in this state , and arrested
Scott Ellis , janitor of Cayuga Lake
Academy , and brought him to Auburn
and locked him in a cell in the jail. El
lis is charged with being implicated in
the murder of a ranchman named Til-
Ian , in Weld county , Colo. , about one
year ago. The Sheriff will start with
his prisoner forthwith for Greeley. The
body ot % Tillan , the murdered man , was
found hanging in his ranch one morn
ing and it was supposed he had commit
ted suicide. The fact , however , that no
money could be found about the ranch
excited suspicion. Ellis and a suspect
ed accomplice left the place suddenly ,
but the latter was promptly pursued and
arrested. Officers and detectives have
been searching for Ellis ever since he
left the scene of the murder and event
ually traced him to Aurora. Ellis de
posited SljOOO in the bank at Auburn
as soon as he arrived from the west
N. Y. tferald.
TJIK reason why Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a favorite with so many people is
because it can always be depended upon. It's
prompt and effectifirt cures of coughs , colds ,
croup and whooping cough , have made it
standard and those who have used it prefer
it to any other. Sold by il. A , Spalding and
