Two young boys of this city en
tered Wm. Lamb's grocery one night
last week, shortly after ho had closed
up for the night and carried off with
them a number of light, valuable ar
ticles. These are the same boys that
took A. J. Arnold's jewelry show
case somo days previous, and we
should say that it would be better for
all concerned and probably save the
lads from the commission of a still
greater crime, if they wero sent to
the Reform School.
Our band has had a good offer to

them as yet, but tho firemen arc un
doubtedly wide enough awake to
look to the matter and sec that tho

stay at home and help to make the
great American eagle .scream on the
glorious Fourth.
There is a bar tender in Ains
worth, Brown county, who is a re
spectable member of the Young Men's
Christian Association, can lead in

pool, parts his hair in tho middle, can

war whoop to perfection. In fact he

at the banks of a river. John on one

his first hot-spring bath, which he
emphatically affirms will be his last.
Ask him about it.
The Bellwood Monitor rejoices
at the turn of affairs in Butler on the
liquor question. It was proposed to
start a saloon at Bellwood, and quite
a number of interested citizens visited
David City to enter protest against
granting the license. The applica
tion for license was rejected aud a
resolution passed by the Board of
Supervisors that it is inexpedient and
detrimental to the best interests of
the people of Butler county for the
supervisors to license the sale of malt,
spiritous and vinous liquors as a
beverage withiu the county.
The Boone Co. News devotes a
bit of space to those citizens who are
opposed to a newspaper speaking out
concerning local evils, on the ground
that they arc injuring their locality in
the eyes of the outsido public. Says
the News: "They refer to the bird
that fouls its own nest; but we would
remind them that there is a wide
difference between the bird that de
votes itself to cleansing its nest, al
though some dnst may be raised in
tho operation, and the bird that is
content to remain in a soiled abode
and keep quiet for the sake of making
believe that his nest is in good condi
tion. A town is not a movable insti
tution, and cannot escape deliberate
inspection, and must be known for
what it is." Further, that a town
stands for what it really is, and not
for what it is reported to be. The
News very wisely suggests that there
be united action with a determined
spirit to mako theirs a model town,
noted for its enterprising, public
spirited business men, and its law
abiding and law-enforcing citizens.
We take occasion to 6ay that these
sentiments apply with equal force to
this community, and we desire to
make the language of .the News oar
own.
"Parent's" communication, in
tended for last week's Journal, is
published in this. An editor is sup
posed to bo able to auswer or answer
at every question that comes up, and
there is no disputing the fact that the
fubject is important not ouly to
parents, but to leachers, as well as to
the little children, upon whom the
pain is inflicted. The Journal is of
opinion that there is no more res
ponsible work than that of the teacher,
more especially, teacher of the
younger children, and also that
character, moral character, integrity
uprightness, an evident purpose to do
right and the ability to do right, in
and out of the 6chool-room, are of
more worth than the mere knowledge
of text-books. Our laws contem
plate the union of these qualities of
character and these scholarly attain
ments in the teacher, and, for one, the
writer hereof is very free to say that
he believes Nebraska generally makes
too weak an attempt to comply with
the law on our statute book which
demands that license to teach in
public schools shall be issued to
persons who "on thorough and full
examination, are deemed qualified in
respect to good moral character,
learning, and ability to instruct and
govern a school." To state the matter
briefly, as our space is brief, the
method that provides good teachers
will secure good schools ; employ
ment of bad or inferior teachers will
result in bad or inferior schools, and
no amount of work by directors or
oversight by superintendents or dis
cussion by pupils and parents will
supply tho deficiency. It would not
be right to allow auy pupil to in
terfere with the proper work work of
the Echool, and tho law expressly
says that the district board "may
authorize or order the suspension or
expulsion from the school, whenever
in their judgment the interests of the
echool demand it, of any pupil guilty
of gross misdemeanors or persistent
disobedience, but such suspension
shall not extend beyond the close of
the term." This is all the statute law
on the subject that we are aware of.
We may remark, here, that some
lawyer of the city who feels an in
terest in this subject, would confer a
favor on his fellow-citizens by pre
paring for publication a brief sum
mary of such court decisions as
would be applicable to affairs in Ne
braska. We believe that the courts
would not hold a teacher guilty of
even assault and battery, if punish
ment was "moderate," "reasonable"
and tor violation of the rules? of the
school, and for this state of affairs, no
one man or person is particularly
responsible. We may add that there
is no doubt but the tendency of the
times, and of court decisions in con
formity thereto, is towards a very
moderate use of the rod in schools.
Let us have a free expression of
opinion on this subject, now that it
has been broached.
VAty Council.
The City Council havo held several
meetings lately to further the busi
ness of the cit-, the results of which
will appear in due time.
We print elsewhere the estimate of

from which it will be seen that the
Council are determined to administer
affairs economically.
An ordinance was passed Monday

having been completed, the work has
not yet been let.
An Answer Wanted.
Can any one bring us a case of Kid
ney or Liver Complaint that Electric
Bitters will not speedily cure? We
say they can not, as thousands of
cases already permanently cured and
who are daily recommending Electric
Bitters, will prove. Bright' Disease,
Diabetes, Weak Back, or any urinary
complaint quickly cured. They pur
ify tho blood, regulate the bowels,
aud act directly on the diseased parts.

Shell Creek Items.
Editor Journal: Small grain
promises well in this section of the
country. Corn is all the way from
A, No. 1 to the very bottom of the
ladder. Replanting has been going
on almost up to date (June 13th.)
The nomination of Blaine and Lo
gan gives general satisfaction to the
Republicans of this neighborhood,
aud has taken all the gas out of the
Democrats, for it augurs a great Re
publican victory next fall.
The surveyor has been busy in this
neighborhood; called in by Messrs.
Burrows, Wolf and others, he coni
menced work ou the cast side of Shell
creek. There, he told the writer, he
had one day, among others, three
Wolfs and two Lamb's around him,
and we should not wouder if also a
number of young Woll's and Lamb's
were there. But let not the strange
reader unacquainted with men aud
things here suppose that with so
many Wolf's aud Lamb's some biting,
tearing and devouring was unavoida
ble, for be it known to him that nil
these Wolt's and Lamb's are not fero
cious animals but well known, highly
respectable and respected citizens.
Of course the surveying did not
please everybody. Some laud was
surveyed out of the hands of present
owners. The mounds in some places
having been obliterated, creeks aud
timber intervening, it was a rather
difficult thing to get to the right
points for new mounds. Mr. Hen
rich lost a little land and Mr. Evan
Davis on the farm heretofore owned
by Mr. John Williams (deceased) lost
quite a good deal. Mr. Williams was
one of the first settlers, and as a man
on an eighty generally has but one or
two mouuds to go by he might with
out intention have plowed a little too
far. But be that as it may, some
seem determined that the surveying
must be done over again. Well, if
it's only done peaceably ! For while
noue of us aro auy better than we
ought to be, we arc not quito indis
posed to look down a little on our
northeastern neighbors, the Hum
phreyites, who begin to quarrel in
"the Journal. But its of course none
of our business.
Farmers arc hauling off old corn
and small grain to make room for the
growing crop. Tho writer often tells
them, "Don't haul it off! feed it!"

A Word for the Piano.
As the season for purchasing bind
ers and general tanning machinery
approaches it behooves the careful
farmer to look about him considera
bly for the best and most available
machine with which to commence hi
harvest, remembering that tho be-t is
the cheapest. I feel confident that I
have the best and cheapest machine
at present in the market. On Thurs
day last the first binder delivered at
this city this season was sold to C. A.
Morse, at whose larm a test will be
made in a field of rye as soon as the
same will do to cut, to which I re
spectfully invite all interested, and
hereby extend a special invitation to
my implement dealer friends to be on
hand with their binders for a trial of
merit. If there is a inachiuc that will
beat mine the Piano I shall be
pleased to know it, but will wager
1100 that it will cut more acres and
miss less bundles thau any machine
in tho market here.
The Piano machine is the old,
time-tried 3Iarsh Harvester, with the
Applcpee Binder.
