need -supplies of blackboards, maps,

There are fear members ef the

The Seward Blade is also
a stand against the gambling den of
of that place, and has some remarks.
applicable ia a geaeral way te-com-
mnaitks- with a like ami ct ion. We
select seme paragraphs :
It k useless for usee to think that
they caa slip ia and out of a gambliag
den, even if it is in the night, and no
body know it And when it once
becomes known business men -will
then begin to shut down on supplies
unless the cash k planked down.
BeCsrring to the place : There are
wives and families in thk town who
knowit to their sorrow, and who are
being daily and nightly robbed of
their sustenance. We look upon a
maa who will coolly and deliberately
set ap an institution of that kind to
heat hk victims out of money for
which he gives absolutely nothing in
return, as but little less than a high
way robber. It k a dishonorable way
ef making a living, and any man must
be totally lost to every sense of honor
that will engage in such a calling. It
k a trap for the unwary, and many a
maa k brought to ruin by a short
rente when he enters a gambling den.
It k well known and generally re
marked on the street, and in places of
business, that there are good men in
-Seward going to destruction at a
rapid rate, and that their downward
course is due largely to gambling.
Men are known to frequent thk place
who owe the grocers of this town for
goods furnished their families, and
stake the last dollar they have ia the
world at the gaming table.
k cursed with a few chronic
beats and worthless characters, who
will come down out of this place dead
broke and then want somebody to
trust them for 10 cents worth of
tobacco, a piece of meat or a few gro
ceries. Thk gambling and drinking
business on the part of many is a
msfter that concerns every business
man in Seward. We doubt whether
a business man can be foaad ia Sew
ard, who has aot suffered ia an indi
rect way from the effects of this gamb
ling business. 'We know that we
have, aad we also know a number of
merchants who can count their loss
by hundreds of dollars in some in
stances. All thk is as nothing though, com
pared with the misery and want
brought into the families of the men
who spend a good part of their time
at thk place, and for this one reason
aleue the place should be speedily
abated.
In speaking thus plainly we have
no desire to wound any one's feelings
and those whom the shoe does not
fit need not put it on. It k a dis
grace, to the city of Seward that such
place k permitted to exist for a single
day, and it is the earnest desire of all
good citizens that all such places be
speedily closed and kept closed in the
future. The better class of our citi
zens will heartily 'second all legal
means employed to rid our city of
this curse.

Wehear of quite a number of ex
perimeots made with 18 corn. Ker
nels from selected ears planted in
boxes are growing finely, some
sprouts being 3 to 4 inches high. Far
mers feel loath to pay $1 for seed corn
when they can select it from their
own cribs where it is scarcely worth
20 cents. Now, gentlemen, step down
a little with your prices for seed
corn it is not as scarce as it seemed
to be. Mr. Bell's 10,000 bushels alone
advertised in the Jouexal will plant
nearly 100,000 acres. Another point
is, Mr. Editor, that hands will not be
as scarce and high as last year. If
we cannot say as Abe Lincoln had to
say "three hundred thousand more!"
we see at least a number more coming

Many farmers are thinking of fenc

of Missourians are said to measure IS
inches, he thought they might have a
good understanding, bat lacked un
derstanding of mulery, else they
would, as Nebraskans would, rather
pay a premium for a mule or horse or
cow that would not Jump a bar.

The Friday before her death, when J

testify to her consistency. Her relatives
"sorrow not, even as others which have
no hope." J. W. LrrrLr.
