One of the little Indian boys at the

last Wednesday. As the freight train

it had to be amputated above the knee.

The Monroe Looking Glass is still

A farmer at Geneva, Nebr., has been
doing his spring plowing on a wholesale
scale, with a traction engine for motive
power and four gang plows, plowing
eight feet wide at each " swath." Two
men run the combination, and the fuel

The same method of plowing has been
successfully used here by Wagner &

In an essay by Mrs. Jas. O'Donnell
at an old settlers' meeting in, Boone co.,
recently, and published in the Genoa
Banner, she says: A M. Jennings was
one of the first to take a claim near St.
Edward. The lumber for the first house
built in Albion was hauled from Colum
bus. The first school taught was by
Eittie Coyle, now Mrs. George Willard,
and was in her father's house. The first
settlers came in 1871.

Mr. Jack Keating has handed us a
circular setting forth some precautions
for checking baggage going to the
World's Fair. Among these we note:
All baggage should be marked plainly
with owner's name in full and permanent
or home address. All baggage should
be in good order before checked, and the
owner himself shonld look after the
checking. As a rule, check to "Chica
go," and not to suburban stations, or to
the Exposition grounds.
The business of Messrs. Abts &
Calto, who have built up quite a jobbing

This is encouraging, and proves conclu

W. a Craig and V. C. Kerr of Craig,

A church fair for the benefit of the

work of these ladies. Everybody cor

The school board held a meeting
Monday evening and made arrangements
for the commencement exercises, which
are to take place on the 26th of May.
There are thirteen in the graduating class.
A specialist will be employed to drill
them. The next meeting of the board is
to be held May 29th. An opinion of
the state superintendent promulgated
last week holds that members elect
should qualify by the first meeting in
May, but cannot serve on the board un
til in July, hence Mr. Galley will, possi
bly, not have any voice in the determin
ation of superintendent and teachers
for next year, as it seems settled that
these are to be chosen at the meeting of
May 29th.
The Schuyler Sun calls attention to
the fact that Casper of the David City
Press "used to set type standing in mud

crackers while establishing the first

cratic worthiness for deserving deeds,
Casper has earned recognition as a sub

there are exceptions, it is true as a rule

The council met Saturday evening at
their pleasant new quarters in the Com
mercial bank building.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and their approval deferred
until after certain corrections ordered
should be made.
The contract with Catharine & Walter
Whitaker for sprinkling the streets

Greisen and S. J. Ryan.

Mr. Stires spoke to an interested
audience at the Sunday afternoon's
meeting at the Y. M. C. A., rooms on
the fRocks in Business Life." The
mam, ideas or the address were that it
takes' wonderful stability of character to
withstand the inducements of these
times to get rich or to try to obtain the
plaudits of the world without regard to
the means by which riches or honors
are gained. Many do things that in
others would be branded as crimes,
and yet not only go free from punish
ment so far as man's method of punish
ment goes, but are lionized. Because
money seems to obtain the gratification
of our every wish, most of us allow its
pursuit to occupy the greater portion of
our time to the exclusion of more im
portant matters. The building of char
acter according to the principles of the
christian religion, making the founda
tions more sure and solid, is the only
safeguard in business life morality,
grounded in true, religious principle,
and the golden rule exemplified would
even give us the millenium.
The State council of the American
Protective Association met in this city
last Thursday for the election of officers
and had an all-night session, not ad

Over two hundred and fifty delegates
were present W. J. H. Traynor, su
preme Counsel of the United States and
Canada A. P. A and editor of the De
troit Mich., Patriotic American, was
present J. S. Hatfield of this city was
elected president and Rev. Worley
of Albion, chaplain. In addition to the
above named, we have since learned
that the following are among the
principal officers elected: J. B. Bagan
of Sidney, vice president; W. O.
Worswick of Beatrice, secretary: Mr.
Anderson of South Omaha, secre
tary of state.
Ed. B. Higgins has given another
evidence of his genius as an artist in an
engrossed copy of resolutions adopted
by occidental lodge K. of P., touching
the death of Miss Carrie Dale, eldest
daughter of W. B. Dale, grand chan
cellor commander of the state. The
document includes some ornamental
work and a handsome pen portrait of
the young lady as she looked a few days
before she made her last trip to Chicago.
This, is certainly a very handsome me
morial, and we think.it would be gratify
ing to the young lady's many acquaint
ances to have an opportunity of seeing
the picture. Master Higgins is in his
nrteentu year, and, to our mind, this
piece of work is a splendid evidence of
his genius.
