Whereas it appears by the per

County Commissioners and two
practical bridge builders, that the
Platte river bridge is now in a con
tinual falling and dangerous condi
tion, and it appears evident that all
money spent lor temporary repairs
for the last two years and all time to
come, is money uselessly and waste-
fully expended, therefore it is
Resolved, that steps be taken to
remove the upper structure, as the
foundation was found to justify the
same. The cost was estimated not
to exceed $800. It was further
Resolved, that the Board confer
with the city Board in reference to
said bridge, and ascertain whether
they could, and would, furnish a
reasonable portion of cost of said
bridge, and steps be taken to accom
plish the construction of said bridge.

Attest.
fferiioll on Heme.
I believe in the institution of mar
riage. I believe that the happy fami
lies are the units of good govern
ment, aud without which chaos
would come again. I believe in the
democracy of home, and despise
the man who thinks himself the
head of the family and tries to be
boss. Love is the only thing that
pays 10 per cent, to both borrower
and lender, and is the only thing in
which extravagance is economy. If
a man die in the ditch he is nobler
if he has been worthily loved than
the king on the throne, alone. I do
not like a stingy man. Geuerosity
covers a multitude of sins.
No man is too poor to be gener
ous, and no man so rich but he may
be mean. Spend money royally.
If it is the IaBt dollar you are ob
liged to let go, spend it as if it were
a dried leaf and you the owner of
unbounded forests. Do not make
your wife beg you for money.
What will your children be if you
make their mother a beggar? Mar
riage is a partnership, and a woman,
in nine cases out often, is the most
economical of the two. The way to
be truly happy is to make somebody
else happy. Who will love us when
we grow old and decrepit? Why
the woman with whom we dowered
our love and youth.
I had rather live in an bumble cot
with one I love than ditin cold state
alone as emperor of the world.
Children should be reared in love
and kindness. The whip should
never have a place in either home
or school. People ask, what if your
childreu He? Well, suppose they
do ; it is generally hereditary. The
tyrant will have liars for childreu.
Truth is born of confidence ; lies are

Mr. Kroger was tranquilly eating
his breakfast, a morning or so ago,
when bin boy broke the silence by
asking him for 25 cents to go tt the
minstrels that night. Mr. Kreger
promptly refused, on the ground of
hard timcB.
Mr. Kreger's boy is more than a
boy, aud, when he sets his heart on
having anything, he generally suc
ceeds in getting it; so, when bis
father refused to comply with his
request, he moved over by his moth
er, and said :
'I guess I'll tell ma what the cook
said to you last night.'
Mrs. Kreger's eyes flashed like
two balls of fire.
'You're a nice man,' she said sar
castically, 'to come home aud pet
me, and kiss me, and call me your
dew-gemmed tulip aud then go and
receive the caresses of the cook.
You miserable frog-eyed rnnt, for
two pins I'd go over there and rake
your eyes out.'
'I ah ' stammered the lord of
the manor, when bis wife broke in :
'Oh, yes I'll ah youland, turn
ing suddenly to the boy, she ed
manded an explanation.
'Will you give me 25 cents ?-'
'Yes.'
'Give me the money first,' said the
boy. 'I'm opening the year on the
C. O. D. principle.'
He got the money, and relieved
bis mother by telling her:
"Last night cook came to pa, and
got pretty close to him "
'Ob, you wretch I' hissed Mrs. K.
'And, when she got" beside him,
she smiled sweetly and said, 'Mr.
Kreger, the potatoes are getting low,
and you had better get another
sack.' '
The boy got out as fast as pos
sible, white Kreger lifted bis paper
before bis face, to veil,, the smile
which made it look like a calcium
light. Exchange.

In order to investigate one's self,
it is well to find ont what one is now.
Don't fLink vagnely about It. Take
pen and paper and write down as
accurate a description of yourself as
possible; aud, if you- dare not, find
out why you dare not, and try and
get strength of heart enoi'gh to look
yourself in the face, miud as well ad
body. Always have two mirrors on
your dressing-table, aud with
proper care dress mind and body at
the same time. Put your best in
telligence to. finding out what you
are good for and what you can be
made into. The mere resolve not
tp be useless, aud the houest desire.
to help other people, will iu tlm
quickest and most delicate way im
prove one's self. All accomplish
ments should be considered as
meaus of assisting others. In music
get the voice disciplined and clear,
aud think only of accuracy; expres
sion and effect will take .care of
themselves. So iu drawing; learn
to set down the right shape of any
thing, and thereby explain its char
acter to another person ; but, if you
try only to make showy drawings
for praise, or pretty ones for amuse
ment, your drawing will have little
or no real interest for you and no
educational power. Re9olve to do
each day something useful in the
vulgar senBe. Learn the economy
of the kitchen, the good and bad
qualitios of every common article of
food, and the simplest and best
modes of their preparation. One
should at the end of every day be
able to say, as proudly as any peas
ant, that she has not eaten the bread
of idleness. Get quit of the absurd
idea that Heaven will interfere to
correct great errors, while allowing
its laws to take their own course in
punishing small ones. If food is
carelessly prepared, no one expects
Providence to make it palatable;
neither, if through years of folly you
misguide your own life, need you
expect divine interference to bring
around everything at last for the
best. I tell you positively the world
is not so constituted. The conse
quences of great mistakes are JHst
as sure as those of small ones, and
the happiness of your whole lite,,
and of all the Hve9 over which you
have power, depends as literally on
your common sense and discretion
aB the excellence aud order of a day.

Tne Bourbon organ says Gen.
Garfield is a dishonest man. Here
is some testimony from distinguish
ed Democrats which may be con
sidered quite aa good as auy asser
tions by Bourbon organs :
I am proud to call Garfield my
frieud, and I would not call any
man my friend whom I even sus
pected of dishonesty. em. Henry
B. Payne, of Ohio.
No living American, iu my esti
mation, stands higher for integrity
and purity than James A. Garfield.
Hon. Allen Q. Thurman of Ohio.
"Garfield's honesty, and integrity
are beyond question," Jvdye Jerry
Black, of Pensylvania.
"Garfield Is one of the most Bin
cere, and honorable men I ever
kuew in public life, and bis record
1b without a flaw." Hon. Randolph
Tucker, of Virginia.
I will tell you whom I think the
Republicans should nominate, and
whom I conBidor THEIR STRON
GEST MAN OF PRINCIPLE, AN
HONEST MAN, AND WOULD
MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT
FOR US ALL. Personally, I con
sider him the BEST MAN you
could nominate. I refer to Ge.v.
James A. Garfield, of Ohio.
Thomas A. Hendricks
I have been his devoted friend for
many years, and I am resolved that
I never will believe that he does not
deserve the affection I have bes
towed upon him. If he would carry
the principles which regulate his
private life into his public conduct,
he would make the best chief Mag
istrate we have ever had. Judge
Jere Black.
In the midst of the organized car
nival of corruption which has been
going on now so many weary
months and years at Washington, it
is really satisfactory to catch glimp
ses now and then of honesty for
honesty's sake, and without consid
erations of party. Gen. Garfield, of
Ohio, is a Republican of Republi
cans, but it is his simple due, which
we gladly pay him, to admit that he
has done more than anVother single
member of his party, during the
late session of Congress, to show
that It is not impossible for a man
to act with a Congressional majority
aud yet to keep bia self-respect and
the respect of honest men. JVcu7

AIL know' that the door to wealth,
to positionsne njoBt'exalted,. stand
wide open'to the riclrm'ari's sons and
tb 3oor man's sobs alike, and that
four outof five times the poor man's
son carri '8 off the prizes. The very
training and the habits formed by
the children of parents in poor or
medium circunrttauces, fit them ad
mirably for tfio race of life, and
secure to them the prize, while the
very surroundings of those in well-to-do
circumstances often unfit them
for the struggle -that build up such
character as is demanded to enable
(hem to retain the wealth or position
gained by their fathers, and thus
pas9 into the hands of those who
prove themselves worthy of them.
These changes take place with
surprising rapidity, aud just became
they are so common wo scarcely
ake note ofUera.. Every observing
man of fifty years will, on reflection,
find that hia memory is filled with
instances of thia upward and down
ward course in the lives of those who
were his early associates. As we go
back to our school-boy days, boys
who were then our envy because of
their, to our short sightr happy sur
roundings,.the wealth of parents and
their high: official position giving to
these children those things we boys
so much craved. Wo find as we
run down their history they are the
objects of our pity and not envy.
While those who were the poor boys
are now the prominent and influen
tial men of wealth and position.
There was one boy in particular,
whoso surroundings were the most
discouraging and whose tutureshow
him or his friends no opening prom
ise save what beamed from his own
sharp eye. Not a boy is there iu
Webster county whose circumstan
ces are so pinched, whose opuurtu
uitief for advancement are so meagre
as were that boy's. But up through
the opposing obstacles, up through
the direst poverty, up through the
murky atmosphere of a drunken
father's home, the same boy climbed
to one of the uppermost round of
honor and affluence iu the nation,
and had he lived till now, would
probably have sat in the first, as ho
did tho second place of favor in tho
republic. We refer to V ice-President

A DOC'S SAGACITY.

Deputy United States Marshal
Moody, who has just returned from
Camps Robinson and Sheridan, re
lates a notable instance of tho sa
gacity of a dog.
The dog belonged to William
Morrison, a herder at .Tonks' rauche,
situated on the Chadron creek, aud
ten miles from the nearest ranche.
Last Sunday morning Morrison was
thrown from his horse, and sustained
a complicated fracture of the leg.
He crawled across tho bridge and
over the prairie, a quarter mile or
more, to the ranche aud on arriving
there wrote a note stating bin con
dition and asking for help to reach
the hospital at Fort Sheridan. He
fastened the note to the dog's neck,
untied tho sagacious animal, and
pointed it toward Nelson's ranche.
The dog went straight toward the
ranche and after traveling about
eight miles, when he wa- yet two
miles from Nelson', met a herder,
who recognized the dog, stopped
him, read the note, aud went to the
relief of Morrison. He retied the
note and the dog wont on to Nel
son's. The herder rode post haste
to Morrison's relief and after making
him as comfortable as possible con
veyed him to the fort.
Morrison says that the last thing
ho shall part with will be the dog.

It is bard for a young mother,
who has not yet overcome the way
ward tendencies of her own youth
ful nature, to realize the influence
she exerts oyer her own little ones.
She is constantly surrounded by
critical imitators, who copy her
morals and manners. As the moth
er is, so are her sons and daughters.
If a family of children is blessed
with an intelligent mother, who is
delicate and refined in her manners,
and does not consider it necessary
to be one woman in a drawing room
and an entirely differenf person in
every day -life, but who is a true
mother and always a tender, charm
ing woman, you will invariably see
her 'habits of speech and perfect
manners repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy busy
boys will always tone down their
voices antl step lightly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to
give them a kind word or a pleasant
smile; for a true mother will never
fail to say or do all the pleasant
things that she can that will in any
way help or lift op and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care
and toil. The mother of to-day
rales the world of to-morrow.
It does not take half as long to
make a wound as to heal one.'
