Prof. J. T. Mallalieu, a former resi
dent of this city, now Superintendent of
the State Reform School at Kearney,
was in the city for a few minutes Satur
day last. There are about 160 boys at
the Reform School at present and in
answer to the query "Are not the in
mates very troublesome?" the Prof, re
plied uNo, not more so than the pupils
attending any of our high schools." Ihe
inmates are required to be at their stud
ies four hours each day, four hours in
the workshops; the remainder of the
time is occupied in reading, etc They
have a band of sixteen pieces in which
the members, take great delight and
interest The clothing, boots, shoes,
etc., are all made at the institution, and
several other industries, including a
printing office,will in all probability be ad
ded the coming year. There are no
cells, dark rooms or other places of con
finement to punish obstreperous youths
the inmates come and go at will but
are not allowed to leave the grounds
without permission. Mr. Mallalieu's long
experience as a teacher of schools well
qualifies him for the position he occu
pies, and accounts for his successful
management of affairs at this institution.

The-Sisters of the Hospital will give
a Fair at the Opera House, this city,
October 3d, 4th and 5th. All are cor
dially invited. The Fair is for the ben
efit of one of the noblest charities that
benefits mankind. Many a man, woman
and child, overtaken by misfortune, has
found refuge, kind and considerate care,
and medical aid in the Sisters' Hospital,
and any community may consider itself
honored by the presence and good works
of snch an institution. Let them have a
benefit worthy of their institution, and
worthy of the gentle-hearted ladies
whose lives are devoted to the work of
ministering to the unfortunate.
A meeting will be held at the city
hall tomorrow evening by energetic
young men of the city the purpose of
which is the organization of a brass
band. The boys may call upon citizens
for a little help to raise the funds for
their instruments, and we hope they will
get what they ask for without a mur
mur. A well regulated band room is a
good school for our young men, and
while it is a good thing for them the
city also will be benefited. Give the
boys proper encouragement and let us
have a good band.

bership and will doubtless make one of
the strongest in the state. We learn
mf u Uniform Rank will be established

the lodge had a K. of P. band attach
ment they would be in the front ranks.
--L. Gerrard says that thero is a man
by the name of Paulson, who yet owns

many years since he made his living by
carrying milk around the city. It is
evident that the exciting boom in city
property has subsided, but investments
bv those able to wait for their reward
are being made now that will keep Oma
ha property at a good, round figure.

have been about a thousand dollars.

The candidate for county treasurer,
was born at Pilsen, Austria, in 1845. In
1848, his father emigrated to St Louis,
Mo., at which place, in the Christian
Brothers Academy, Gus. received a con
siderable portion of his education. In
1857, Mr. Becher's father removed to
this city, Gus. following in 1859, in the
meantime going to school. For eight
years thereafter he was clerk in the
hardware Btore of Hurford & Bro. at
Omaha, where he made many friends.
After that ho came to Columbus, and
for the succeeding fdur years was en
gaged in the United States service,
under Major Frank North, with the
Pawnee Scouts. In 71, he served as en
rolling clerk in tho senate. After bis
return he started in his present busi
ness, in which he takes great pride, and
in which he has been fairly successful,
enjoying the confidence, and winning
the good will of every man with whom
he does business. The county's money
nnrl the countv treasurer's duties will
be safe in his hands.
The Bridge Bond.
The election Monday showed that the
people of Columbus are wide-awake to
their best interests; of tho 341 votes
cast, only 6 were against the proposition,
and these are reported as coming from a
corporation that ought to have more
foresight mid less narrow selfishness. The
vote by wards was
For. Against.

Now let Columbus township do her
full duty, and then let every man make it
his special business to help along the
good cause and see that we get our mon
ey's worth in permanent bridges over the
Loup and Platte, and every business
interest of Columbus will immediately
feel the benefit, and every acre of land
within market influence of this city will
advance in value. The bridges must
have the best attainable foundations.
We must master the Loup or it will
swamp us. We can master it if we go
at it in the right way. This is the road,
if we but keep right on.

God pity him, or her, who plays
"The old bhoe in th pond."
Full well, we ken, tlii plwisant earth
Hath spots of clay and miro.
Its by-roads, leading swiftly down.
Its mountains, trailed by Pre.
Our castle, tow'ring toward the skit-
Built up of fancies fond,
Tho world sees not and trots right by
"The old shoe in the pond."
One's shoulders may not be eo broad.
The burden still is there;
Sweet dreams of youth, how fast they fade
Beneath the clouds of care.
Tho world looks on and queries oft
Just hoic, one went agronnu.
Yet "caste" and "creed" consign to doom
"The old shoe in the iond."
CHOBUS Oh, cling to hopp with grit and will;
Look up, and out beyond;
A better day is bound to dawn
"For the old shoe in tho pond."

Martin C. Bloedorn, in canvassing
the other day, etruck two lies againBt
him in adjoining precincts, which shows
that the campaign falsifier, this year, is
not doing his work with that caution
and circumspection which he usually
exhibits. Ordinarily, the campaign lie
that is diametrically opposed to another
campaign lie is placed at a respectful
distance away, so that if the two travel
toward each other they will meet only
after tne day of election. This is an ex
ception. The first lie that Martin struck
was to the effect that he hadn't been
sober for the last two years; the other
was that he is a leader of the salvation
army. O Prejudice, how many lies are
offered at thy altar.

Omaha.
Ed. Joubkal: Our infant, South
Omaha, is doing finely and growing im
mensely. It would seem she ought, see
ing that she is consuming about an av
erage of 1,000 cattle and 3,000 hogs i:
day; not only this but lots of sido dished
in the way of wheat, corn, oats, potatoes,
groceries and garden truck, fruit, etc.
Buildings rise up seemingly like castles
in the air, so quick and orderly; it is
certainly novel to see them mar tho
features of mother nature's face with
their twelve horse grading machines
with which they pare off a nose or a
chin as easily as a. housewife peels a
lemon. The real estate men say it is
rather quiet, but it seems to a way
back farmer as if it was nearly impossi
ble to keen ud with tho procession, and
the movement and rustle seems to me
exceedingly lively.
Occasionally the plow turns up the
horn of a buffalo in the streets here, and
it only means a period of forty years or
less since this soil was the undisputed
property of the Indian, and they and tho
buffalo were compatriots of the land in
stead of the white man and Poland
China, and now within a circle of four
miles from where I write there is hardly
a device of man's ingenuity or science of
which a sample cannot be found.
T nnite often see here faces for
merly fanuliar in your town; all seem
to be doing well and to be contented,
nnil t.h American idea that tho best spot
the Lord made they have got hold of and
occupy is predominant here.
I must acknowledge the receipt of
your very interesting Journal; its face
is that of an old friend, and I thank you.
Very truly,
New Resident.

cure of a neighbor of mine who had used
S. S. S., and I therefore began to take it.
I commenced last fall and continued its
