Children should be taught to respect
the rights of others and the owner
ship of property at an early age.
Many failures in life may be attrib-
ated to neglect in early training to
live within one's means and count the
cost before making a venture but a
greater failure may be attributed to
a total disregard for truthfulness and
being unworthy of trust and confi
dence. Many boys have succeeded in
life because of their willingness to
work , combined with other qualities
of usefulness and honor , truthfulness
and respect.
Adam White and John Burnette
have been fixing up a camp wagon
with a grub box attachment that will
be a great convenience. There is also
a stove wagon attached to the wagon
for hauling the stove. Quite a num
ber of people were guessing what
they would be used for when U. G.
McBride and Ki Brown were making
them and the guesses ran all the way
from a water tank or ice chest to a
hog chute or dipping tank. It was
simple enough when told what the
boxes would be. They were taken
out for use yestereajmorning. .
Some thoughtless persons ( we don't
like to believe that it is a lack of bet
ter training , though at times we are
tempted to do to ) go whistling by a
church during services and cause
some annoyance to persons who are
inside listening and is embarrassing
to the speaker. There are some who
would go thundering along in a lum
ber wagon at great speed while pass
ing a church and whether they think
of it or not we would suggest that
they keep in rnind the fact that soon
er or later they'will depend upon the
tender mercies of some church and
minister to perform more solemn cer
emonies during which someone will
n-member the irreverent hearing of
the humbled spirit. To be plainer , it
is not the well-bred and properly
trained persons who boisterously dis
turb others while seekingtheir own
convenience and pleasure ,

We have received a letter irom
Martin Rice , of Lone .Tack , Mo. , an
iiticl' f ' ri'itor "f tli' . paper.
Martin Rice is now past 87 years of
age and is the oldest living pioneer of
Jackson county , Mo. } having lived on
the same farm during the past 60
years and moved to Jackson county
when there were very few settlers and
and the country a vast wilderness ,
There was no Kansas City then
the largest town in the county was a
postoffice and perhaps less than a doz
en ptopl .
Many readers of this paper visit
Omaha more or less frequently. They
are naturally interested in the hotels
of Nebraska's metropolis. It will be
of much interest to them to know that
the Millard , Omaha'a leading hotel ,
which has been in the hands of the
decorators , furnishers , carpenters ,
etc , for some weeks past , at an ex
pense of several thousands of dollars ,
it a finer hotel today than it ever was
before. Its location is the most cen
tral of any in the heart of the bank
ing , wholesale and retail districts.
Every street car from every depot in
Omaha pas-ses the hotel or runs con
veniently near to it. It is the only
strictly first-class hotel in Omaha
where the rate on the American plan
is as low as $2 pei day. Of course , if
you want a very select room , or room
with bath , the rate is higher ; but , no
matter what the rate may be , the
'menu ' , cuisine and general high-grade
service throughout the hotel are uni
formly alike for every guest. Those
who prefer the European plan can
stop at the Millard for $1 and up per
day , and for these guests a cafe , at
reasonable prices , is open , adjoining
the large public dining room. You
can have all the Millard's first-class
advantages for the same price you
would pay at a second-rate Omaha
hotel. Therefore , why not go after
the best when you are about it ? Take
our advice and stop at the Millard
'
the next time you visit Omaha. The
same advice applies to the Lincoln at
j Lincoln. It is conveniently situated
opposite the depots and postoffice ,
! and is the only first-class hotel in Ne
braska's Capital City. The rates
there are § 3 and up per day.
