It is stated that the council will repeal the present one and pass a new water ordinance in which rates will be screwed down another notch or two. It Doesn’t—Take a very smart person to catch cold, but a man or firm must be wide away and enterprising to catch trade. Newspaper advertising is the surest way. When the winds have ceased to blow, when the seed corn kicks to grow and .the little song birds warble “corn is king. ” Then the politicians come from their office seeking bum, for Nebraska has her blow out this spring. The gamblers of Chicago are preparing to reap a rich harvest during the exposi tion, and it is said that at least $50,000 has been expended during the past three weeks in getting ready for a season of wide open games. What does Mayor Harrison propose to do about it? A bent or two of the Driftwood flume of the Meeker irrigation ditch was dis turbed, a few days since, by leaking water. The dry weather was very trying on the wooden flumes of the ditch, mak ing them leak badly, when the water was turned in. But damage has been slight so far. J. H. Smart has disposed of his photo graph gallery to a gentleman named P. W. Marcellus and will go south for his health, which has become considerably impaired. We wish him prosperity and health wherever he may locate; and wel come his successor to our midst, hoping his business relations here may be as pleasant and profitable as his prede cessor’s. The Superior Journal says: “It doesn’t pay any man to reserve his advertising for the sheriff. The legal rate is $1.00 per square for the first insertion, and fifty cents per square for each subsequent insertions. Do you catch on?” None of this is as humiliating, however, as it is to have the sheriff’s sale of your own paper and printed in the columns of your own esteemed contemporary. REMOVAL. J. F. Ganschow may now be found in his Elegant New Quarters in the Union Blqdr, where he is exhibiting oneof the finest and largest stocks of LADIES’ and CHILDRENS’ SLIPPERS to be seen in Southwestern Nebraska.

In the successor to Postmaster Troth a prominent democrat assures us there will a great surprise to many—a genuine dark horse Mrs. J. B. McCabe has three furnished rooms to rent in the Rawlings residence on east Dodge street. Inquire at the residence. Call and inspect Kalstedt’s immense stock of new goods. The finest selection ever exhibited in the city. Don’t -wait until the line is broken. IT Does—Make some concerns tremble to think of the money they expend in advertising. But then it all comes back. The results from advertising may be slow but they are sure. Verily it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a corporation man to acknowledge legal control gracefully. But there is a God in Israel. __ A glass door for an oven, something so convenient that it is a puzzle why housekeepers have not always been bless sed with it, has just been invented by a Michigan woman. Ccmmissioner General Garneau says that Nebraska will be in better shape for the opening of the World’s fair than a majority of the states that have build ings on the grounds. This is the kind of news Nebraskans are glad to hear. The salary grab ordinance is justly considered one of the most unpopular measures of the present city administra tion. Especially so in view of the exces sive burden of taxation under which we are now laboring. The salaries are too high by half, and they should be prompt ly decreased. A young man talks with pleasure, an old man talks with ease; the orator talks as some men walk, a six-day-go-ns-you please. The preacher talks of sins and things, of hell’s eternal fury; the lawyer hurls his jawbone at a mad but helpless jury. Thus each one talks and talks and talks, each one of his own speech proud est, neglectful of the painful fact that money talks the loudest.—O’Neil Fron tier. Once again I find you weeping, as I’ve seen you weeping before, shedding tear drops by the gallon over all my parlor floor. Haroun Ali, this is foolish—eyes were made for other things, than to use as human cisterns, or as never failing springs. Yes, I saw your mother whip you, saw her giving you a cuff, and I really felt like yelling: “Go it madam! that’s the stuff!” Not that I am cold and heartless, caring naught for childish woes, for I once was young as you are, and I know how it goes; but your mother, son of Osman, she is waxing wan and old, and her step is slow and feeble, and her days are almost told; she has borne so many burdens that she craves a little rest, just a little ease at evening as the sun sets in the west. And she asked you, Haron Ali, asked you in a gentle tone, if you wouldn’t split a little kind ling, and you answered with a groan: “You are always asking something; I am busy now;” then your mother grabbed Ali, and she smote you on the brow. Ah, it did me good to watch her—just to hear her grind her teeth, was like sitting at a window while the band plays underneath! Haroun Ali, son of Osman, you will never have a friend, who will love you like a mother, fully, strongly, to the end; when her eyes have closed forever and her worn feet are at rest, when her weary hands are folded, still and pulseless on her breast, when her gentle spirit is jour neyipg o’er the silent river’s wave, when the wind at midnight murmurs through the willows o’er here grave, you will sor row, Haroun Ali, beg forgiveness from above, that your mother ever heard you utter words that breathed not love.— Walt Mason.

The society of Friends or Quakers opened their half-yearly meeting for Ne braska in Masonic hall, Lincoln, Satur day. County politics are budding full this spring and the recent cold snap has not injured the promise of the greatest crop on record. An exchange asks where the printers’ dollars are? Most of ours are scattered around among a few hundred delin quent subscribers, dear brother. Wanted:—Pupils to take a course in short hand. Evening class begins May first from 7 to 9 o’clock P. M. Three doors east of Commercial hotel. — Delegates have commenced to arrive to the Endeavor convention which opens in the Lutheran church tonight. A large gathering is expected.

Mastin, presiding elder of Holdrege. The Tribune hopes that Mayor Brewer may not soon again have a spasm of economy. The last one—the salary deal—cost the tax-payers just 800 big round dollars. In face of the fact that salaries were already too high perhaps. Messrs. Lowman & Son have this week put in two handsome and unique signs. They are of polished brass, the name “L. Lowman & Son” being carved in the shields, one of them occupying a po sition on each side of the entrance to their store. They are decidedly tasteful innovations. Mr. A. J. Kyte, the liandless pianist, has been giving exhibitions in our city, this week, to a fair patronage, five doors west of the McEntee hotel, on west Den nison street.

The missionary concert by the Ende avorers in the Lutheran church, Sunday evening, was a decidedly pretty service, and was enjoyed by a full house. The costumes of the nine young ladies were charming in their faultless white. Their short recitations were interesting and instructive, A chorus of 25 voices and an orchestra of 5 instruments aided in a service altogether pleasing and impres sive. The Bridges Bros, closed their conven tion, Tuesday evening, with a concert in the Lutheran church, which was well at tended, and which contained many en joyable features.

Burdick as director and Miss Edna Meserve, organist. The union will meet in the Lutheran church on Tuesday even ing of each week, to continue the good work set in motion by the convention. The exhibition and lecture given by representatives of the J. I. Case Plow Co., Monday afternoon, called together a large crowd of farmers. Tests were made of the draught, depth etc., of the furrow of a Moline plow and the J. I. Case fa mous Triumph sulky plow. Considerable interest was taken in this by the farm ers present. The result was entirely satisfactory, and in favor of the Triumph sulky plow, which made a wider and deeper furrow than the walking plow with about the same power. Many new and valuable suggestions were dropped by Mr. Kiser in his interesting talk on plows and plowing. Much interest cen tered in the pulling of the sulky plow by a man in harness. This feat was success fully and easily accomplished, a furrow being run some distance six or seven inches deep and sixteen or eighteen inches wide. The “mule” carried a man on his back, and a man rode on the plow. Henry Hamilton also performed the act, showing that there was no special trick connected with the pulling of the plow. The affair was withal profitable to all parties concerned. PEOPLE YOU KNOW. Mitchell Clyde was a passenger on 6, Tuesday evening, for Omaha. Captain A. J.
