A "WISE man said , "God could not
be everywhere , so he made mothors.
The Alma Tribune comes to our ta
ble , this week , enlarged to a nine col
umn folio.
The Capital City Electric Light Co.
is to introduce the incandescant light
in Lincoln.
Cheyenne , Wyoming , is assuming the
habilaments of a powerful boom , since
the B. & M. move in that direction.
The author who wrote , "There is
beaut } ' in extreme old age , " probably
never " tackled an "over nursed egg. "
.The stench of the railway pass Chest
nut cryeth aloud to high heaven. It is
an auspicious time for the fool killer
to get in some elegant work.
In the prairie fire of Friday , April
8th , Decatur county , Kansas , sustained
a , loss of $50,000. The town of Nor-
catur being $15,000 a loser.
Contrary to'some expectations , the
railroads appear to be endeavoring to
make the inter-state commerce bill as
obnoxious and seemingly harsh and un
just as possible.
The Capital Hotel at Lincoln has
been purchased by W. H. B. Stout for
$120,000 , and the house been leased by
E. P. Eoggen , late secretary of state ,
for a term of years.
Montana's legislature has enacted a
law licensing gambling houses. This
is a pointer to the "gents of the green
cloth" hereabouts. Montana is or will
be the "Gamblers' Paradise. "
The Postmaster General has issued
a circular letter , to postmasters calling
attention to the advantages of the
special delivery system and urging them
to commend its use to the public.
Hon. A. J. Weaver , late congress
man of the first districtdied , at his home
in Falls City , Monday night , after an ill
ness of three day's duration , with con
gestion of the brain and pneumonia.
Arbor day comes , April 22d. It is
asserted that there are 605,000,000
trees now thriving in this state , where
but a few years since none were to be
seen , all directly traceable to Arbor day.
The initial number of The Red Wil-
low County Times is at baud. "Wat-
kins Bros , are the publishers and pro
prietors and Indianola the place of pub
lication. Their introductory paper is a
commendable production. We wish
them success.
E. L. Harkrader , late of the Sut
ton Democrat , left for unknown parts ,
between two days , last week , and Re
ceiver Steinmetz of this city has again
assumed ownership of his half of that
journal , Harkrader having failed' to
make payment therefor.
Articles of incorporation of the
Eastern Wyoming Railroad company ,
G. W. Holdrege , J. a. Taylor , C. D.
Dorman , W. A. Higgins , C. J. Greene ,
trustees , have been filled. The road is
an extension of the Grand Island & Wy
oming Central and runs from the eastern
boundary line of Wyoming at a point on
the North Platte river through Lincoln ,
Albany , Carbon , Sweetwater and Unita
counties to the western boundary of the
territory. The principal office of the
company will be at Cheyenne.
It is now thought that Kansas' pro
hibition law is perfect. Under the pro
visions of the new act a druggist can
sell liquors only medicinal and man
ufacturing purposes , and to do this he
must first obtain the signatures of
twenty-five men and twenty-five women.
He must be a graduate in pharmacy ; of
good moral character , have a stock of
goods exclusive of liquors valued at
$1,000 , and he himself must not use
intoxicants as a beverage. He must
also give a bond in the sum of $1,000
for faithful compliance with the law.
The man who purchases the liquor must
obtain a permit from the county judge ,
which is furnibhed free of charge , pro
viding the applicant makes affidavit that
the liquor is to be used as medicine , "
stating under oath the nature tf the
disease. This is certainly iron-clad ,
and will go a long way in solving the
question of the age , "Does prohibition
prohibit. "
The new gambling law makes that
innocent ( ? ) sport a felony , with a pen
alty upon conviction , of not less than
$100 nor more than $500 , or imprison
ment not exceeding two years.
The Omaha Herald , democratic , set
tles the disturbing prohibition question
in its own mind by adopting the
theory that prohibition is essentially a
rural idea. All the better for that.
The great naval achievement of the
administration thus far is the christen
ing and launching of one girl baby from
the Navy Department. It was done
during "a squall , " and was a success.
"The new republican mayor of Phila
delphia , in one week , has closed the
gambling houses and dives , cleaned the
streets , and made the gas men under
stand that they do not own the "Cradle |
of Liberty. "
Concerning female suffrage in Kan-
sis : In Wichita , of the 600 women
who registered , previous to the late
election , 200 registered as "sports. "
It is superfluous to add th it the "sport
ing'man"'was elected.
The Wisconsin legislature has passed
an alien land bill fixing the maximum
acreage which may be owned by a man
who is not a'citizen at 320. It will doubt
less receive the governor's signature.
Illinois has passed a similar law.
John Wanasiaker , the Philadelphia
merchant prince , is working out a very
satisfactory solution of the labor prob
lem. He shares all the profits above a
certain amount , with his faithful em
ployes. This year something over $100 , -
000 will be thus distributed. It is safe
to infer that Mr. Wanamaker will never
be troubled with strikes , walkouts , boy
cotts , or any of the disturbing elements
of the industrial world.

Now doth the giddy youth arise , for
gaudy clothes he measures ; and forward
looks with beaming eyes , to one long
round of pleasures. His day-dream
pictures twilight walks , with one he'll
love forever ; he thinks of summer even
ing talks , while boating on the river.
He holds his pen while mankind snores ,
and writes a chiming sonnet , to that
bright maid whom he adores , the girl
with Gypsy bonnet. He asks that
maid to be his wife , while they are
playing tennis , and for the first time
in his life , he finds his name is Dennis.
Atchison Globe.
Said Bishop Ireland , recently , in
Buffalo , on the liquor question :
"A free government , depending upon uni
versal suffrage , is not safe unless the deepest
reverence for law permeates the public inind.
By its defiance of law the liquor traffic is
effectually undermining the foundations of
society and working toward the disruption
of the republic. The traffic is to-day the
most dagerous enemy the country knows ,
and it amazes me beyond my power to tell
that the American people , proud of their re
publican institutions , and conscious of their
high mission to maintain bright and strong ,
for the teaching of the entire world the light
of liberty , can stand idly by , as they do , and
permit , almost without a protest , thej liquor
traffic to mock the enactment of the state
and to proclaim its power to be a mere
phantom"
A NEW terrorin the way of decoration
threatens females in the west. It may
properly be called "a shrubber } ' craze. "
It hasn't reached to hats as yet , but how
soon it may no man can tell. Just now-
the idiocy consists in wearing flowers , as
many as possible , and the larger and
uglier the better , all over the front part
of the bod } ' from the waist to the chin.
Roots , sterns buds , leaves and blossoms
are scattered over the bosom in reckless
disregard of order , wasteexpense or ap
pearance. At this season green houses
are ravaged for anything with bloom
upon it , and it little later home plants
and yard beds will be raided for all they
are worth. The broad-faced sun flower
will not escape in his season , and the
stinking "dog fennel" will be picked as
a prize when its time comes. Where the
rage will end is a question , but before
it does and ere another winter's wind cold
snows about leaf and blade , we may ex- '
pect to see woman wearing hazel brush
in their hair and full grown corn stocks
onthe , skirts of their dresses. They i
have worn of nearly everything that j
grows on the earth or in the air or the •
sea , that could be carried at all , and now i
they threaten to attack young timber and
become walking brush heaps. Topics.
