WHO is wise ? He that learns from
every one. Who is powerful ? He who
governs his passions. Who is rich ?
He that is content.
PUBLIC opinion is a weak tyrant cem-
pared with our own private opinions ;
what a man thinks of himself , that it
is which determine , or rather indicates
his fate.
Ox a door plate of a St. Louis resi

The ornamental and useful are here
beautifully blended. *

Ked Cloud Chief : The B. & M. rail

Hayes Centre News : Geo. Leland

informs us that ho will engage in busi
ness in Hayes Centre , early in the spring.
* Geo Nicholson had the misfortune
to lose one of his horses while coming
up from McCook , Monday. The animal
dropped dead in the harness.
THE railroad commission has been re
ceiving some attention at the hands of
the state press , lately. While the sen
timent seems to prevail , that the com
mission be given a fair trial , there seems
to be no disposition , to brook anything
approaching "money work , " if the rather
inelegant , but expressive phrase be ad-
missable.
THE death of Alfonso will probably
be a great inconvenience to Spain for a
time. His only heir is a daughter four
years old , and if the succession goes to
fier there will have to be a long regen
cy. But who will be the regent is the
juestion liable to raise any amount of
trouble. The republicans recognize their
opportunity and will doubtless attempt
another revolution.
A FEW more episodes like those that
have befallen the ballot box stuffers of
Chicago and Cincinnati , and it will be
gin to be believed that cheating and fraud
and perjury in politics do not pay. It is
not enough , however , that in Cincinnati
the aims of the swindlers have been de
feated. The culprits must go to the
penitentiary. There is no use half doing
these things while the doing of the
whole is so easy.
WELL , Ingersoll was lecturing I be
lieve it was in Milwaukee and in his
lecture he came to this assertion , and
while he lectured there were standing
up in the corner of the platform three
or four drunken men , standing there
talking in an undertone. That crowd
felt like they ought to take the amen
corners on Bob ; and all I want to know
about any fellow is who takes the amen
corners on him ; and when you find Bob
preaching you will find the amen cor
ners filled with old red nosed drunkards
and other vagabgnds of the town ; they
rush up and take the amen corners on
him. And while Bob was lecturing ,
when he reached the assertion , "There
is no hell , and I cau prove it to any reas
onable man , " he got the attention of
that crowd , of course. They were in
terested at this point [ laughter ] and
one of them straightened himself up
and staggered up to Bob and put his
hand on his shoulder , and said , "Cau you ,
Bob ? " He said , "Yes , I cau. " "Well , "
the fellow says , "Do it , Bob [ laughter ]
and make it mighty strong ; for , " he
"I tell thafninetenths of
says , you - - us
poor fellews in Milwaukee are depend
ing on how you make that thing. "
[ Great laughter. ] Sam Jones.
For several years Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has been prized for its speedy and
certain cures of croup. It is the favorite ami
main reliance with thousands of mothers. It
will not only cure croup but if freely UMH ! as
soon as the first indication of the disease ap
pears , that is as soon as the child becomes the
least hoarse , it will prevent it , doing away
with all danger and anxiety. There is not
the least danger in giving the remedy freely ,
as it contains no injurious .substance. Sold
