Have you heard, says the Republican City Democrat, about the cut-off that the B. & M. is going to build between this city and Holdrege?

B. Mills, i N. A. Crawford, J- Committee. C. W. Lindsay, ) The receivers of the Union Pacific only want $1,500 a month for their services. There are five of these kid-gloved gentry and it would require only the trifling bagatelle of $90,000 per month to them out of the poor house. Uncle Sam had better make them a deed in fee simple of his costly right, title, interest and claim in the road, and be done with it. John Tyndall. By the death of Professor Tyndall the religious world has lost an old antagon ist, the scientific world an eminent spec ialist. Religiously he might be termed an old-fashioned infidel; that is one who in these late days ot nineteenth century thought would be considered a firm be lsever, because a seeker after truth. And this latter Professor Tyndall certainly was. His light shone brightest about 20 years ago, when unfortunately for his reputation among churchmen, and more unfortunately for the church, religion and science were not merely on bad terms with one another, but were decidedly antagonistic. His great work was in the realm of physical science, but unlike many of his contemporaries, he saw in the workings of material forces some thing other than cold naked materialism. “It is,” he says, “the inner works of the universe which science reverently uncov ers; it is the study of these that she recognizes as a discipline worthy of all acceptation.” In reading his works you often feel yourself in the presence of one who is earnestly seeking the truth for himself and sincerely seeking to give it to others. Professor Tyndall was more than a physicist; he believed in the im ag'nation, in emotion, in conscience. He was a man of faith, one who looked on the invisible and eternal, not a material ist, for in his philosophy lay the doctrine of divine immanence and divine omni presence. A prominent religious journal has lately commented: “If every modern theologian could receive, by a sudden inspiration, Professor Tyndall’s openness of mind to all disclosures of truth, his earnestness of purpose in quest of truth, and his candor of statement in teaching truth, there would be an end to heresy trials; and the church universal would enjoy an illumination like that which used to make St. Peter's dome on Easter night a blaze of glory.” Two events in his life are remarkable for their unique ness. The first is an inspiration espec ially to youth. Born of a comparatively poor and unknown family, he attained a scientific peerage with the degrees of F. R. S., L. L. D., D. C. L., married into the nobility, and was made superintend ent of the Royal institute of Great Brit ain. The second event is no less uncom mon. Some thirty or forty thousand dollars, the result of an American lecture course, he distributed among American universities for the founding of scholar ships. Surely here was one of those great men of whom the poet said,“their doings are sublime.” Heaven cannot give us too many such “infidels.” F. D. EVERY m CENT Cash Purchase .... Entitles You to a....
