Congregational Church. It is often said: "one is not responsi ble for the lack of christian interest, that one does not control his desires or affec tions, and that the obristian life is a service or love, not law." The state ment seems sound until applied to the common things of life . The lack of love for knowledge does not excuse ignorance; the want of love for law observance does not atone for lawlessness. It is when we apply this excuse to the fundamental thing of manhood it breaks down. One takes the initiative in life as the result of impressions. If one were to pnt himself in the best possible position to receive impressions and then wonld live accord ing to his best light and come to the end of life without being an ardeut christian be might argue he was not responsible for his lack of christian interest. Until then this excuse will not stand the test of practical application. Here is the worth of a church in the community. In worship one puts himself in the most favorable attitude to receive im pressions for christian living. The Congregational people invite you to worship with them next Sunday morn ing and evening. In the morning, 11 o'clock, their pastor will speak from the subject: The King's Ferry boat. Of the evening, 7 o'clock, from the subject: The Religion of The Lord's Prayer Final Society. William L.

Columbus State Bank Capital Smrplu, $85,000.00 Last spring L. F. Pbillipps concluded to try an experiment with Angora goats, placing them on Buck island for the purpose of cleaning off the growth of underbrush. He boogot 147 of the goats and turned them loose on the island; and the result of his experiment has been very satisfactory. Dnring the sum mer he lost but one of the animals, and the remainder have done exceedingly well, and are in fine condition for winter Mr. Pbillipps says that the goats did not clear up the underbrush as well he anticipated, owing to the fact that there were not enough of them, and he expects to sooner or later replace them with sheep. During the summer he was bothered very little by the dogs, and not at ail by coyotes, and the latter will not attack a goat unless very hun gry. When be puts sheep on the island he will be compelled to afford more pro tection to them as the dogs and coyotes may cause him considerable loss. His henl of goats is in fine condition for market and he may conclude to turn them off soon. His experience with the goats in this locality will be of benefit to many, as he has demonstrated that they can be very profitably handled in this section of Nebraska. Since the publication by Edgar Ho ward in the Telegram of the charges against Hitchcock in connection with the Hartley defalcation, each day has brought forth additional and conclusive evidence that they are well founded. An the democratio state headquarters are in this city, quite naturally there would he more interest taken here than elsewhere, and all are awaiting further developments in the case. Mr. Howard's attitude in the matter has brought ont much adverse criticism from democrats, but he is persistent in his effort to com pel Hitchcock to withdrawn from the race for United States senator. The Lincoln Journal has the following com ment on Mr. Howard's position. This bolt of Edgar Howard is unusual. Ho ward has followed bis party's lesd when it required swallowing mighty bitter medicine to do so. When Governor Holcomb was forced on democracy as a candidate for supreme judge by the po-pnl-.sts and free silver republicans Ed gar Howard rebelled before the nomina tion was made, but be swung into line later. In the convention that named Holcomb for supreme judge, held in Omaha. Mr. Howard made a hard fight on the lloor to defeat such action. When the nomination had been accom plished while the convention was in an uproar and while Mr. Howard himself was the center of a group of his party leaders, protesting against the wisdom of such an act, a reporter asked. "Mr. Howard, yon have fought Governor Hol comb in the convention and he has been nominated; will you oppose bis election?" Mr. Howard turned half around in that slow, measured way in which he moves and talks, turned a withering gaze on his questioner and replied: 'Young man, I am a democrat; where my party leads I follow."
