ed to the main office in Omaha and that
this indebtedness was a just offset to
the value which the assessor placed on
his property in this county. The point
raised by him was a new one. The court
holds in favor of Merrick county's con
tention, thus sustaining the verdict -of
the district court.

recently sold to John Raster, but he was
an original Colfax county homesteader,
having taken a homestead in this pre
cinct in the fall of 1869. Shortly after
the building of Sacred Heart church at
Olean he opened a store there and was
for many years postmaster of the Olean

earners on an overland mail route run
ning from Schuyler to West Point. For
years he did a profitable merchandise
business, but discontinued it a few years
a'ter the building of the Scribner-Oak-dale

and friends sincerely mourn the depar
ture of him and his estimable family.

prosperity abide with them in their new
home is the wish of the writer.
GOOD ADVICE FOR HUSBANDS.
Written Long Ago, But in Every Way
Applicable To-Day.
A clergyman took down a small
volume.
"This is called," he said, "the 'In
structions of Ptah-bo-Tep.' It is one of
the very " oldest papyrus writings
known. It gives, among other things,
advice to husbands, and that advice is
as good to-day as it ever was. Listen."
And he read:
" If thou be wise, furnish thy house
well.
'"Woo thy wife ever, and never
quarrel with her.
"'Nourish her daintily.
" 'Deck her out, for fine dress Is her
greatest delight.
"Feed her upon sweets.
-'"Perfume her.
"'Make her glad with praise.
"'Adorn her with Jewels, feathers,
and the skins of beasts, as sumptuous
ly as thy purse will auCer.' "

Young Lawyer Himself Again with
Familiar Style of Address.
The following anecdote, after re
maining in storage many years, has
been recently dusted and brought to
light:
A young and afterward distin
guished atoraey from an up-country
district of New York state was arguing
his first appeal hi the old general term
of supreme court He had been in
many legal scrimmages in justices'
courts, at home, but' had never stood
in the awesome presence of five se
date and learned judges of the su
preme court. In general term assem
bled. His embarrassment was great.
He repeated himself and misplaced his
words so often that it was quite evi
dent that he must soon be routed by
his own confusion unless something
should occur to break the spell.
Finally, and just as he was flounder
ing the deepest in a chaotic jumble of
language and Ideas, the presiding
judge Interrupted with the following
remark:
"Mr. Smithera, I believe it will be
a great relief to yourself and to the
court If you will address us in the
same free and informal way that you
doubtless use in addressing your local
justice of the peace."
"Well, then' replied Smithers, "I
wish that while I am busy alleviating
your honor's dense Ignorance of the
law, you would keep your d d mouth
shut!" The court laughed heartily
and waved for him to proceed. He
grew eloquent and won his case in the
midst of hearty applause. The Bo
hemian. Painted from Life.
The monk who acts as guide to the
many people that visit the old mis
sion at Santa Barbara, Cal.. is a pic
turesque and Interesting figure. In
his brown robe of heavy, coarse mate
rial, a rosary hung at the cord belt,
and the cowl thrown back from his
closely cropped head, he is in strange
contrast to the fashionably dressed
visitors. He shows a pardonable pride
in the mission and all Its contents.
The curiosities which remain from the
time of Mexican rule in California, the
exquisite drawn-work altar cloths and
the mural decorations are pointed out
in .a manner approaching reverence.
Although he is occasionally inexact hi
his descriptions, he Is sincere, and
his naivete Is so amusing that it
would be a carping, small-souled critic
that would take issue with him.
Concerning one of the paintings In
the church, he once said to a party
of tourists:
"This Is a picture of the Virgin
Mary, painted from life by Murillo."
Great Water Power in Brazil.
Consul George A. Chamberlain of
Pernambuco sends a comprehensive
description of the Paulo Alfonso fails
and the San Francisco river, situated
in that part of Brazil. The falls are
230 miles from either Pernambuco,
hwhich has a population of 200.000, or
Bahia, with 230.000 people. The aver
age volume of the river Is 1,000 cubic
meters (one cubic meter1 35.316 cubic
feet) per second, and between Jatoba
and Piranhas, a distance of about 65
miles, the fall is 756 feet, 400 of which
takes place in the rapids, extending
about 15 miles. This vast undeveloped
water power will become in time the
nucleus of a great industrial circle. A
new cotton mill is being erected near
Penedo, and there are a few other
small factories using this power, but
these little establishments are almost
nothing compared to the industries
which the great river should foster.
Heroic Deed "Fair Decent."
One of the Carnegie hero commis
sioners now in New York recently
made a visit to Canada to Investigate
the story of Sandy Ferguson. He
learned that Sandy had jumped into a
river filled with floating Ice, swam a
hundred yards, rescued a drowning
boy and after a great struggle got him
to shore.- As a result of his cold
plunge Sandy was stricken with pneu
monia and for a long time hovered
between life and death. In the course
of his Investigation the hero commis
sioner visited Dr. Cameron, who had
attended Sandy during his illness, and
from him heard the story in all Its
details. "Do you think Mr. Ferguson
performed a really heroic act?" the
commissioner Inquired of the doctor.
"I klnna say," said the doctor. Then,
after a pause: "But It waa fair decent
' Sandy."
