The Sutton Hegister has some re
marks to make concerning the social
evil and suggests that the indignation
should be directed towards those who
contribute to the support of the bawdy
houses. Enforce the laws, will catch
all the law breakers, of either sex, and
will most effectually abate the nui
sance. There need not be, as we don't
believe there is, any personal ani
mosity. Messrs. Lindsay & Trekell are

will probably commence as soon as
spring opens. An additional story
will be added to a part if not all of
the block.
. A funny incident occurred in a
house of worship in Nebraska City
the other Sunday. A zealous pillar of
the church was leading the singing,

note, with proper effect, his false
teeth flew out of bis month. Of
course there was a general titter on,
the part of the congregation, and the
minister, usable to control his' risi
bilities, said, "Well, let's all laugh.'
And they did. They roared.. And
then they finished the hjmu. Hast

Frank, lately from Vermont, have
rented. the old C. H. Matthews shop
on 13th street, and will open up a
wagon and blacksmith shop. As an
artist in wood Will is well known in
the city, and needs no commendation
at oar hands, and no doubt his broth
er will prove equally as good in his
line of work. The boys appear to
have the right staff In them and no
doubt will make the new enterprise
win.
Ex -Senator Zehrung of West
Point was in town Saturday. He
gives a glowing description of the

are all taken within eighteen mile3 of
Valentine. At that place corn is sell
ing at 68 cts. a bu., potatoes 75c, and
other things in proportion. Contrary
to the general belief, Mr. Z. says there
is abundance of good farming land in
that region, with plenty of timber.
The following unequivocal words
of endorsement for the theatrical com

for the Fire Department at the Opera
House Monday evening are from the
North Platte Telegraph: "The Hol

performance in this city to-night
'Pink Dominoes, the essence of fun,
being the. play.. This company is the
best ever in the city, and there iB not
a 'stick'' among them.' Mr. Holland
and Miss Muriel le are, of course, the
chief attractions, but the others de
serve a notice that we have'not space
to give. Don't be afraid to go."

Wo give the following samples of
composition by two of our public
scheol pupils, premising that the pen-,
manship in' both cases is very neat:
a history of my lite.
I was born on the 2l6t day of March
in the year 1871. I was named Jo
seph and my surname is Hodel.
My native state' is Switzerland. In
our school 11 of our scholars are na
tives of Nebraska, 3 are natives of
Nova Scotia,-3 are natives of Iowa, 3
of Wisconsin, 1 of Michigan, 2 schol
ars and the teacher from Pennsylva
nia, 2 of Germany, 2 of Switzerland; 2
of Illinois, 1 of Maryland, 1 of Con
necticut, 2 of Ohio.
I began attending school in the
town of Liestal. I am now thirteen
years of age. This is the 'first time
that I have tried to write a history of
my life. My troubles have been ma
ny, the work has been hard, the roads
icy, the lessons difficult, and the
teachers have been unreasonably
cross. This is a specimen of my
writing.
OUR SCHOOL DATS.
Can we measure value of the work
done in school ? No one can tell the
result of any one action. It is ope of
the many things that arc hidden from
onr sight, both of the eye and of the
thought of the roind. We seek to
know the secrets of the future : bat
we search in vain for the knowledge
of those things which are known only
by the Infinite mind. . w
The thought comes to our mind,
"Have we done our whole duty to
wards our school?" "Can we remem
ber the many times that ' we. were
kindly admonished by our friends and
teachers that our time to prepare for
the active .work and labors in life is
limited to a very few short years?
We cannot do last year's work now,
the work of to-day will task to the
utmost our feeble powers, although
we may suppose that the work which
we now do or should do is the proper
thing to do at any time, yet we will
soon learn that the present duty is
the only duty that can be done.

Life r Death.
My friend, do you love tub lord
jesus Christ? If you do not, your
life thus far has been a failure. You
hare. no true peace of mind. Ton are
living on the animal plane. Yet, we
were created to be gods. The fact
that people love not the. Lord Jesus
Christ is the root of all misery.
Jesus Christ created you and the
universe in which you live. That sun
belongs to him. Every blade of grass
and: flower and tree belongs to him.
All that -moves and breathes belongs
to- him. - The good things on -your
table belong to him. Press your hand
to your. heart and feel it beat cease
lessly, day and night;-that impulse
comes from him. All this he has
made, all this he has given, with one
single aim and purpose namely that
yon shocld learn to look to him and
Hove him. What is, after all, the
essence of all joy? Love. Here is a
magnificent mansios, with perhaps a
dining" ball costing forty thousand
dollars, like, that of Sam. J. T. In it I
find a "magnificent company in silks
and.r broadcloths. All seems gay.
Seems! Bat it is possible (and prob
able)"that true joy and comfort and
peace are not found in that palace.
Ldveisnof there. "All this magnifi
cence' is merely a gilded tomb, a high
ly polished coffin ; shine without, and
corruption within. All this grand
company are only so many skeletons
grinning" at one another. This with
out love. On the other hand, here is
a humble bat. It contains only rudi
mentary furniture and utensils. There
is no luxury, bat there is love.
Father, mother and their sweet, sweet
babes all love one another, and true
joy beams from every eye. Now the
highest love is love to our Lord Jesus
Christ; and the highest joy is joy in
Him. The highest exercise of my
reason is to fall down and worship
him who died for me on the cross,
arose serenely, ascended triumphant
ly and now sitteth at the right hand
of God until all his enemies shall lie
at his footstool, when he will return
visibly to the earth to be oar visible
king foreyer.
Ah, to love this blessed .Jesus is
life and joy and light and sunshine
and everlasting consolation to my
soul. Sweetly and tenderly hear his
voice "Come unto me and find rest."
What has been the one great mis
take of your life? Not to go to Je6us.
Yon must go yourself. Here is busi
ness which caunot be done by proxy.
What has been the chief obstacle in
your way? Your pride and Belf
righteousness. Throw these dirty
rags away, and come to Jesus.
Where is heaven ? Where Jesus is.
What is heaven? To love Jesus.
What is life? To be one with Jesus.
What is eternal death and hell? To
be 'out of Jesus not knowing his
lover When is our life a lie and a
fraud and a monstrosity ? When we
trample under foot Jesus, the Son of
God, who purchased us with his
blood. What becomes of all our
boasted morality and so-called natu
ral goodness in the light of Jesus on
the cross ? Abominable frauds. What
is the only foundation of a genuine
goodness and unselfishness ? Love to
Jesus. What is the only manly thing
that a manly man can do ? Surrender
himself to the man Jesus. What is
the main objection to all the objec
tions made by sceptics? Their in
sincerity. You say you do not fear
death? I know better. Ah what a
fearful leap into a dark, bottomless
abyss death is after all! That is,
without him who says "I am the Res
urrection and the Life."
My friend, make baste to go to
Jesus. Make haste to examine the
record of him. Make haste to do
sure aud sincere work in this matter.
All is at stake. It is Life or Death.
Nothing else is of any importance.
This very plea will rise up against
you as a witness on the Judgment day.
Your sincere friend,
