Nearly every week we have illustrations
of the beauty of advertising lost articles.

and the next day Dr. Schug told us that
he had found it.
For two cents we would give the
public the name of the Columbus feeder

more than one man to cover his tracks.

paid in advance. We are receiving num
bers of new subscribers still there is
room for more. tf
It was suggested by a writer in the
Journal last year that school officers
provide fuel sufficient for an emergency,
for all schools under their charge. One
board of directors in Wayne county, we
remember, are in the habit of providing
a box of crackers to be opened only in
case of a hard 6torm where it is unsafe
for teacher and children to venture forth.
Work on the new hotel is proceeding
right along, and it is now expected that
it will be inaugurated the Fourth of
March. The plumbers are done, the
plasterers are nearly ready to begin. A

over the property, and said that it was,
from foundation to top, the most com
plete hotel property that he had seen
lately.
Last Friday evening quite a number
who went to attend the Lyceum were

the Hall will now be reserved exclusively

us the program. The question for de
bate is, "Is marriage a failure?" The
disputants are Messrs. Kilrain, Shall,
Brindley and Hard.

Notwithstanding the strong counter
attractions, the People's theatre last
night was packed to the doors, hundreds
being tnrned away, the attraction being
the initial performance in this city of
Beach & Bowers' refined minstrels.
There was undoubtedly the best pleased
audience that ever assembled at this
place of amusement The company made
a decided hit, every act being received
with laughter and applause. The pro
gram was new and original from the rise
to the fall of the curtain, all the old,
time-worn business being abandoned and
replaced by pleasing innovations in min
strelsy, the specialties of Mr. Otis Bow
ers, the dancing of Messrs. Beach and
Freeman and the musical act of Messrs.
Green and Wall being excellent. V fine
quartette and orchestra added m jh to
the evening's entertainment The com

The ball given by Occidental Lodge

highly spoken of by those who attended
it The twenty minutes drill of the
Uniform Rank under the command of
Capt Corte of Omaha was very finely
executed. The silent manual, consist

gant supper was provided by the ladies
of the Guild, the music for the dance
was furnished by the String Band, Mr.
W. H. Ramsey, calling. All together
the evening will long be remembered by
those present
The Norfolk News learns of a feature
of the capture of the Custer county mur
derer, Hannstine, that has so far not
appeared in print It appears that
Hannstine, shortly after the murder,
came into this county, and he and a
woman whom he claimed as his wife,
went to work on the farm of Solomon
Altschuler, near Madison. At the time
he came there, a young lad, we do not
remember his name, from Custer county
was at work for Mr. Altschuler. Recog
nizing Hannstine, he kept his own coun
sel, but throwing up his situation he
went immediately to Broken Bow and
apprised the sheriff of the whereabouts
of the murderer. When the sheriff ar
rived at Altschuler's his bird was on the
train bound for Columbus, but his tele
gram to the officers at that place led to
the arrest That boy ought to have a
part of the reward for his coolness and
good judgment
According to previous announce
ment a' goodly number of teachers

Richard Cunningham has moved his
law office to the front rooms over the
new Commercial bank where he intends
to devote all his time and attention to
the practice of law. Mr. Cunningham
has had some years successful practice
in New York in connection with the most
able and experienced lawyers of that
bar. His residence in this county at
various times during the past ten years
make it safe to say that those requiring
legal assistance will find him an able
and efficient protector of their interests.
Norton, Sprecher & Bell of the Nor
folk News, discontiue their work upon
the same, the establishment having been
sold to Messrs. Huse & Son, who "with
plenty of ability, capital and newspaper
experience, will make the paper a suc
cess;" so say the old proprietors, who
have built the property up to its present
standard. We are sorry to see them
quit, for they have done a big work, done
it well, and were just getting ready to
reap the reward of their trouble and
labor.
E. D. Fitzpatrick has recently placed
in his hall on 13th st, a drop curtain
that makes a handsome appearance from
the rear of the halL The center-piece
is in the shape of a picture-frame and
surrounded on all sides by business
cards. The picture is a very good rep
resentation of 13th st, from Fitzpatrick's
east to the B. & M. depot, the artist
having drawn somewhat from his imagi
nation for some of the buildings east of
the new hotel and the Commercial bank.
MUSICAL.
BY m. FAOK.
Cosceit vs. Self-Ceslde-Ke
A reasonable amount of conceit is par
donable, especially in professional men
and artists. It is often very useful to
them, nay more, while it has often help
ed many a one to put forth all his pow
ers, it has atao aided many an ignoramus
to find his way through life, while other
wise he would have been trodden under
foot Conceit especially helps the
youth and nature seems always to pro
vide the young with a good amount of
it Were young people fully aware of
their own deficiencies, were they able to
measure the powers of their competitors
or the greatness of the task before them,
they would often shrink back in fear.
As it is, their conceit carries them on
ward, and aided by it, they step where
older men scarcely dare to set a foot.
Tis true sometimes a young man perish
es, as did the buffalo that tried to stop
the train on the prairies, bnt then if one
dies in an effort, there are thousands
that8ucceed. Youth is generally con
ceited. Conceit, however, blinds us
hence the errors as well as tho daring
deeds of youth. But as the bondage of
conceit is loosened youth sees the world
as it is, hence in the approaching years
youth becomes more cautious and less
daring. Conceit is in a measure pleas
urable, as most delusions are. It may
gratify our vanity to appear as a giant
when comparing ourselves to the people
we see in the valley below, while we
stand on the mountain peak, but then
the delusion is a harmless one. Gradu
ally we learn to know the fact, that those
who are now small are in reality just as
large as we are, and that we in their eyes
appear just as small as they did. With
an increase of good common sense, con
ceit takes its llight, and for this blessing
we should constantly ask.
When the Scotch people pray that
they might be blessed "With a canty
conceit o' themselves," they do not mean
to pray for the power of overestimating
themselves, but a' reasonable degree of
self-reliance and self-contldonce. Self
confidence is not to be confounded with
conceit. Whilo tho latter should be
discouraged, the formor should bo en
couraged. Schumann, who, by the way,
was a very modest man, said "That self
reliance and confidence are special arts
within art Within his four walls," he
says, "the artist should be modest with
regard to himself and most conscien
tiously dilligent, bnt toward tho public
he must display courage,nay even a little
gay boldness, and the fair one will yield."
The conceited man overrates his powers,
and generally hf3 nothing wherewith to
support his high opinion of himself; but
the self-confident man knows his gifts,
he trusts in them, he uses them ju
diciously and effectively, hence he gen
erally succeeds. It may bo difficult to
draw the line that divides the two, but
nevertheless there is such a line and the
public generally can distinguish between
both.
Self-confidence is not easily acquired.
It may be cultivated but most generally
it is inborn. The sslf-confident man
dares to sum at the prize and often
gains it while he who hesitates and
doubts never wins anything. Teachers
should seo to it, that pnpils overcome
their fears and gain some self-conlidenco
else they will never make successful
players or singers in public, but they
should also be very watchful, for self
confidence is apt to lead into conceit.
By cultivating self-confidence we must
be careful not to let the pupil become
superficial, and while it will be a good
plan for young people to compare them
selves with those beneath thorn, they
shonld never cease to look upward. Self
confidence is needed in all stations of
life: it displays itself in men's looks and
motions, it speaks little of itself, bnt is
ever ready for action. On the other hand
he who lacks self-confidence is an hum
ble sort of a fellow, better designed to
serve than to rule. Ho needs constant
aid, advice and encouragement, and the
best of men become weary of bestowing
this.
And now that we have written on this
subject, we will simply add that we
should strive to see ourselves as others
see us. Many a musician, many a teach
er utterly failed in their calling, bo
cause they could not do this. From
Brainard's Musical World.

An unusual fall this. Freezing does
not interfere with digging, plowing, and
working the roads. Ground dry and

their corn in season, and made an earnest
effort to get it out, have the satisfaction
of having it in crib ere this.
