Senator Gondring has introduced
Senate file No. 330, a bill for an act to
define trusts and conspiracies against
trade, declaring the same unlawful and
void, and providing means for the sup
pression of the same, and remedies for
persons injured thereby, and to provide
punishment for violations of the set, and
to repeal chapter ninety-one, entitled
"Trusts," of the compiled statutes of
Nebraska for the year 1895.
The Kearney Era tells of two boys
recently sent to the Industrial school, on
a charge of stealing coal, and well re
marks "there is no fun in this kind of
punishment for a boy who is doing the
bidding of his parents. Children do not
steal coal without the knowledge and
consent of parents, and nothing leas than
a jail sentence for breed and water is
severe enough punishment for those who
encourage steeling by minors."
This is the best season we have had
for some time for feeders. The reason is
that there is a scarcity of cattle and hogs,
and an extra amount of corn makes the
situation favorable to feeding. In sev
eral localities in Nebraska this winter
the price of corn has advanced one to
two cents a bushel in some places due
to sheep and cattle brought in from the
west for fatting, and in other localities
to investment by capitalists for future
selling.
Engineer W. T. Allen gave last week
to his grand children the children of
Mr. and Mrs. Summer of Clear creek a
Shetland pony, with harness, cart, sad

very much delighted with their gift, and
will now be able to get to school on
time, but they could scarcely be more
delighted than their grandfather is to
see them enjoy themselves. He perhaps
looks back to his own youthful days,
when without a mother's care he pushed
along in life.

We are informed that the religious
services that have been held in the Lat
ter Day Saints chapel in this city during
the past twelve days have been very in

investigation of bible truths, deepening
religious thought in professing chris
tians, and spiritual enlargement of heart
of the unconverted. The 'Elder closed
his meetings Sunday night, He will re
turn in a short time with a tent, accom
panied by co-laborers in mission work.
W. K. Iy, it esema, has pulled

casion was the utredaction of a resolu
tion, pledging the candidates m advance
of the nomrnstion to a strict enforce
ment of the laws aad ordinances of the
city. A harmless rooking resolution
enough, because the oath of oaVe pre
scribes just that thing any way, bait it
was too much for the assembled politi
cians, and eo Mr. Lay separated from
them. It was inevitable.

E-wile of J.N. Heater.
AaaaFLCsse was born at
Ohio, March 5. 1836; caau to
in 1S75 with her parents, who settled at
St. Edward. September 18, 1876, aha
waasaarried there to J.N. Heater. That
year they came to Columbus aad have
lived here ever since.
Death was caused by the effect of
chloroform administered for an opera
tion which was successfully performed
by Dn a A. HaUey, on the 3d day of
March.
Hvices were held yesterday
at 10 o'clock. Kev.
oatiag, at the
Star, of which Mrs. Heater had beau an
active member and cemcer. The remains
were taken oa the 1:30 train yesterday
afteraoon to St. Edward, for buriaL
Both parents were sick and unable to
attend a funeral here. The floral offer
ings from Masons, Knights of Pythias
and others were very fine. Mr. Heaters
brother from the west, also Mr. and Mrs.
Heater of Lincoln were present and
accompanied the large delegation of the
Masonic fraternities that left yesterday
with the remains for St. Edward.
No sketch can do justice to the life of
Mrs. Heater. She was in many ways a
remarkable woman thoroughly practi
cal, thoroughly in earnest, good and
true. In all the relations of life she was
faithful to duty, and "every signal act of
duty is altogether an act of faith." The
noble qualities of her character will
never be forgotten by those who had the
pleasure of her acquaintance.

It is not generally known that there
is an Anti-Suffrage Association in this
country, with headquarters at 13 Elk
street, Albany, New York. They do not
oppose suffrage in general, as the name
would indicate, but only woman suf
frage. When the great body of the
women of this country aee that their
true independence and that of their hus
bands and children is not inconsistent
with the right to choose officials, there
will be no demand for anti-suffrage
associations of any kind.
Begin to doctor your old flags. A
notice has been sent to the army and
navy officials that on and after July 4,
1897, the American flag will have forty
five stars. An order has also been issued
to the custodians of public buildings to
at once put the additional stars on the
old flags or secure new ones which must
comply with the order. There must be
six rows of stars. The first, third and
fifth rows will have eight stars each and
the second, fourth and sixth, seven stars
each. Seward Blade.
H. E. Mussulman returned

job and Tuesday started overland with
his household goods and they will soon

Mr. and Mrs. Mueselman will be followed

a host of Osceola friends. We regret to
see them leave and hope for them a
prosperous and happy time,- as they
settle in Columbus. Osceola Record.
Mrs. George Barnum says that great
injustice is being done her by the pub
lication here among comparative stran
gers of a paragraph from the Galeeburg
(111.) Mail, in which the publishers have
blunderingly mistaken her for a noto
rious character in that section who bears
the same first name; that the ordinary
ills of the ordinary life are sufficient to
contend with, without being charged
with wrongs done by others. She re
quests The Jocbxaz. to say this much
for her let the matter be where it is
with the court.
There is no hope of success for the
democracy on the line of free trade;
there is no hope of success for the pop
ulists on the very many lines of their
political endeavor instead of a rifle,
they use a blunderbuss; there is no hope
of success for the so-called free silver
republicans in the coming city election
there are not even so many of them as
there are of the prohibitionists. What
to do? That was the question last week.
How to get the free silver democrats
and the other democrats together? Can
they get together? It don't look like it.
Mrs. Helen Stires of Columbus, was
in this dty Tuesday evening, the guest

communication of the chapter, which

refreshments were served by the ladies.

Bev. McGregor preached on "What is
the matter with the churches?" Sunday
morning somewhat in reply to an article
which appeared in the Times of last
week,
Mr. McGregor says the church has
always been open to severe criticism
from people outside and sometimes the
criticisms are just; that the battle of the
churches is between right and wrong
and sometimes it seems that wrong will
conquer.
The article in the Times said that the
churches lacked enterprise. Mr. Mc
Gregor said the churches do not lack
enterprise, but they are not succeeding
in all their enterprises. They do not
show the friendliness they should to
those outside; they do not work in many
ways as they should, but in spite of all
these they are making progress, as sta
tistics will show.
The church has to contend with world
lineaa. The speaker said that "the
secular press is against the church and
the bast interests of humanity." Here
he makes a grave mistake. The news
papers are not organized to invent news;
to find evil where there is no evil; to
cry peace, where there is no peace.
Their specialty is "facts of importance
to their readers," and in their stated
presentation of facts they have their
prescribed, conventional limits, just as
theareacher has his.
The press do not approve many things
that are found in the newspaper reports,
just as there are many things spoken of
in the bible that are not intended for
our approval, but ratner lor our strong
disapproval and avoidance.
Newspapers face the facts, whether
they are pleasant or disagreeable, or
whether they make for the right or the
wrong they believe with Patrick Henry
in knowing what the worst is, not for the
purpose of favoring it, but for the pur
pose of providing against like evils.
Mr. McGregor said that if the press
would say "Brethren of the pulpit we are
with you to expose sin as we find it,"
what work would be accomplished!
Well, why quarrel over words? The
preachers say "sin," where the news
papers say "wrong," one is the technical,
"religious" term, the other is the com
mon, everyday word for the like thing.
Some of the very best of preachers
that the world has seen have acknowl
edged their great -obligations to the
ordinary newspapers in their own line of
work, and why shouldn't they, when the
good things that they say to a limited
congregation of a few thousand are
spread broadcast to millions of readers?
.uet tnere De giaa aamgs oi great joy;
good news so strong as to arouse the
deaf ear to hear; the lame foot to leap
and run; the palsied to walk erect; the
blind to see; the epileptic to be free
from an ever-present source of mortal
dread; make the good news so effective
that he who has sat in mental darkness
for years, "is clothed and in his right
mind" and there will be reporters
enough to tell to absent ones the glad
story.
The press will be glad to print notices i
of what is to be done (ix tney can be
reliably informed along that line); or
accounts of what has occurred the pre
vious week of importance to the afflicted
and oppressed, physically, mentally or
spiritually, and wQl print it in large type
and not charge a cent, and that, too, for
the sole benefit of their readers the
public good alone.
The fact is the press are expected to,
and' they do, give the news, according to
their best ability, financial and other
wise. No newspaper proprietor but what
would like to print more and print it
better, but there are limitations with
them aa with others.
However, aside from the moral influ
ence directly exerted in keeping objec
tionable things out of the paper; in get
ting as great a quantity as possible of
clean truth into the paper; and planing
the undeaa in the least injurious man
ner, the newspapers generally must at
least be credited with a fair contribution
of their valaable time and space, free of
charge, to the benefit of all denomina
tions. The poorest of newspapers make an
endeavor no fill a want," and when they
do not, they simply fafl, aa does a
preacher who preaches one life and lives
another.
Bev. McGregor has awakened the
church people more than any other evan
gelist who has been here, and we believe
thinks he has the right view of chris
tiau truth, life aad duty, but it doubtless
would be as easy for the press to criti
cise the pulpit in 'general, as for a par
ticular preacher to criticise a particular
newapaaer over the shoulders of the
entire fraternity.
- What we all aeed, pulpit, press and
pseala, is, not toleration of people who
differ from us in opinion; not a mere
acknowledgment that they have a right
to differ frem as; but a thankfulness
that hi these days there is no cast-iron
mould for opinion, in other words, that
there is hnasst difference.
Aa there are many different degrees of
light, ae there are different degrees of
truth.

Too little attention has been given
to what have been regarded as the minor
matters of the farm the raising of
small fruits; the raisins' of chickens.
turkeys, geese and ducks; doner and
better attention to the dairy, and so on.
There is no question about this, aad the
stringent timas of recent years has de
monstrated this, and likewise tested the
value of these so-called lesser products
of the farm. The following from the
Sterling Sun presents a faithful picture:
The good wife came to town with a
load of turkeys last week for which she
received SIOO. This is a fact. Last
spring she was busy caring for the little
turks; she wanted some help to fix the
coops and was told by her good man
that he had bo time to fool with turkeys,
that he must hustle and get his
corn
planted that raising poultry
woman's aad not a man's business.
This is imagiaatioa. And yet (this is a
fact) the old man would have had to
haul into town tweaty loads or 1,000
ef sera, to have put in his jeans
us much money as his good wife
for the turkeys which he
thought too small a bmeimess for him to
care for last earing.
