BOX ELDER BLOSSOMS.
Mrs. J. B. Piper has returned from
Beatrice , where she has been visitin ° r
' O
her daughter , Sirs. Dobbs.
A special school m eting was held at
'Box JiJlder on Saturday , and WQ now
trust that the educational interests in
j *
our town will take a boom.
It looks as if Tommy Coward was con
templating taking a partner for life in
the homestead business , the way he is
hauling new furniture around.
Commissioner Bolles has commenced
work on the bridge across lliver Canon ,
and the road from Box Elder to Mc-
Cook will soon be in flne condition.
Bos Elder is at present infested with
a piece of rotten pus in the shape hu
manity ; he claims to hail from Hastings ,
and is putting in his time trying to
frighten timid settlers from their claims.
The presence of many kinds of birds
warn us that spring is near. The weath
er , however , is rather cool yet , notwith
standing many farmers are commencing
to stir the soil ; and we judge that quite
a large acreage of small grain will be
sown , this season.
Settlers are coming in fast , and it is
getting to be a common sight to sec a
covered wagon wending its way over the
prairie , with a bunch of cattle a head
and extra hordes tied behind. We are
glad to see that most of the new comers
are pretty well fixed.
Last September , Ike Johnson raised
his derrick for Mr. Piper's well. He
was rewarded for his perseverance , a few
days agoby finding water at a depth of
160 fret , A wind mill will be put up
at once which will add another mark of
civilization to the face of the country.
The citizens of Box Elder are becom
ing noted for their practical Christianity ,
and the beneficent influences of the
same are felt far and wideand , we would
say to our friends in the east , who are
coming west in quest of homes , that they
will do well to locate at-this point , where
we have an atmosphere that is healthy
spiritually , morally and physically.

Ryan & Turner's Directory of the "Land

fell , and being a very heavy woman , the fall
resulted in a painful fracture of one of her
limbs. At last accounts she was resting as
easy'as could be expected.
The music furnished by the new orchestra ,
Thursday and Friday nights , was quite an
improvement on the bald headed old "see
saw" to which theatre-goers have been sub
jected to for an indefinite space of time. Un
der the management of Mr. DeChant they
promise great things iu the future.
The Indianola Dramatic Co. filled a very

Messrs. Eskey , Day , Berge , Smith and Teas ,
shared the honors. Among the ladies , MLss
Keyes and Mrs. Crumbaugh deserve special
mention. Dr. Eskey , the star of the second
night , was fully equal to his part. Being for
the benefit of the bridge so much talked of ,
it was treated to a crowded house each night :
Some of the hoodlums who stood up and
stamped and talked during the most interest
ing part of the play should be "spotted" by
the management and refused admission to
any respectable show in the future. They
occupied the back part of the house.

CHRISTIANITY AND POPU
LAR EDUCATION.
o
Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden , In an arti
cle in the April Century with the above cap
tion , says : "I have not mentioned this de
mand for the entire secularization of our
schools for the sake of opposing it at this
point in the argument , but rather for the
sake of calling attention to a manifest deter-
ioraticm of public morals which has kept even
pace with this secular tendency in education.
Twenty-five or thirty years ago most of our
public school were under Christian influen
ces. No attempt was made to inculcate the
dogmas of the Christian religion , but the
teachers were free to commend the precepts
of the New Testament , in a direct practical
way , to the consciences of their pupils ; and
some of us remember , not without gratitude ,
the impressions made upon our lives in the
Bchool-r&oiii by the instructors of our early
days. All this has been rapidly changing ;
and , contemporaneously , it is discovered that
something is wrong with society. Grave
dangers menace its peace ; ugly evils infest
its teeming populations. Pauperism is in
creasing. The number of those who lack
either the power or the will to maintain them
selves , and who are therefore thrown upon
the care of the state , is growing faster than
the population. The cure of this alarming
evil is engaging the study of philanthropists ;
in all our cities. Crime is increasing. The
only State in the Union that carefully collects
its moral statistics brings to light some start
ling facts respecting the increase of crime
within the past thirty years. In 1850 there
was one prisoner in Massachusetts to every
eight hundred and four of the population ; in
18SO there was one to every four hundred and
eighty-seven. The. ratio of the prisoners to
the whole population nearly doubled in thirty
years. But it may be said that this increase
, is due to the rapid growth of the foreign pop-
' illation in Massachusetts. There would be
I small comfort in this explanation if it were
i the true one ; but it is not the true one. The
native criminals are increasing faster than
the foreign-born criminals. In 1850 there was
! one native prisoner to every one thousand
| two hundred and sixty-seven native citizens ;
iu 1880 there was one native prisoner to every
six hundred and fifteen native citizens. The
ratio of native prisoners to the native popu
lation more than doubled in thirty years. "
