But Winn all was done and honors earned,
To the bank and auction he returned, •
And genial John greets all once more
Indifferent to the GAS he burned.
Now a sport who's grown indifferent, cold,
Shunning stocks and horses though not too old
Has turned his talents into rhyme,
And into print he ventured, bold.
One burst of eloquence did treat.
During the campaign we just did meet,
Of drink and all its attendant sin—
But saloons and brewers he could not beat.

Next in verse he did adjourn
To family history and sought to turn,
Our fancy to lits troubles only
But selfish ones cared not a whit to learn.
Now lie lias taken up with lies,
And can you guess, you who are wise
Who this, a great reformer fain w ould lie,
Who wastes his time as swwiftly this life flies?

°f telephone, lumber, and division fame,
I The rabble say with jeers and foolish jibes,
More teleephone and houses is vour game.
Indeed—the idol you have loved so long
Has done your credit in Men's eyes much wrong
However much you've grasped the filthy lucre—
It's sold your reputation foi a song.

Hut now the base ball with its pleasure
lias restored your prestage in a measure,
And all the pettish scornful jests—
We are now retracting at our leisure.
Our town without our fair corpulent friend,
In oblivion would surely end
For where lie's seen lie's always heard
And boosting the city is his trend.
To numerous towns at auction sales
Kverywhere flaunting his merry tales
Hoth friends and strangers come and settle down,
Proving the merit of his mils.

May he continue thus, his girth increase;
Pei liis big bazoo, not its mus'c cease.
His virtues cry, his vices lightly heed,
On joy and life give him n long time lease.

Others how blest, it is to boom your home—
Ah, see tin* feelings roused in others breasts,
’Twould pay to keep your bilious feelings dumb.

Look to the Journal with it! gloomy views.
Sowing prejudice and rancor in its news,
And those outside the comnon wealtli—
Have no knowledge that itsonly BLUES.
Ah, make the most of what wo yet may spend,
Our doughty little Mayor will conquer in the end.
For 'tis his aim to get for us the very best.
The water since the fire is on his mind.
Ho wove/ much the knocker says he knows,
The town upon its merit, only grows.
A booster be through all the coming year,
Make good your word, see all your actipn goes.

You all who know the city's various needs,
Try to be first to sow the rightful seed;
And gladly in the years which are to come,
Your children of your zeal and help will read.

Their virtues sung and praises rung under this head.
Suffice these few their graces emulate,

INSURANCE
Fire, Lightning and Tornado
I represent several of the best old line companies
doing business in Nebraska, and who have reputations
of prompt and fair settlement in case of loss, and drafts
are given immediately upon completion of adjustment
of a loss without discount.
I give special attention to my insurance business
and those intrusting their business to my care will have
no cause to regret the confidence reposed.
Time to adjust your loss is when
you have your policy written.
Does vour policy read as you would like to have
it read if you had a loss ?
I have delivered the first New York draft in settle
ment of a loss sustained by the fire in the Wahl building
See me about your insurance now.
