The man who will steal lumber from a public bridge must be a pretty mean rascal, and yet there are several such in Nebraska. A bridge plank gets broken or loose and away it is "yanked." Per haps, after all the intent is to make sure that the supervisor will see the bridge. For those who have to move west in wagons we believe it is u good plan to build u little, movable house on the wa tfnn. We hit ve .seen such with "ledgea" putting out over the wheels, and having in it a door, windowx, stove, etc., and looking oomfortable and cosy. When a settlement is made on the claim, the house can be need temporarily for oc cupancy by the family, instead of camp ing out, and when the peruiiuc.tr dwell ing is erected run lie put to very good use on the farm. There is nothing like consulting health and economy in Httch matters. On last Sunday Mr. Able, who resides west of the Loup river, hnd a very nar row escape from drowning. After cross ing to the east end of the bridge while on bis way to church in Columbus, his hat blew off into the river. He left his team in the care of his daughter, while lie advanced on the ice toward the open channel to recover his hat, but the ice gave way, precipitating Mr. Alite into the water six feet deep, and would have drowned had not a couple of Polanders, who were also wending their way to church, came to his relief and rescued him from a watery grave, ilatless, wet and fearfully chilled with cold, Mr. Able soon arrived at David Anderson's bouse, where he was furnished with dry cloth ing and stimulants, but was so long de layed that he failed to reach the Monas tery for devotional services.

Tbe coun cil are taking their time in tbe matter, and want to be sun- of their ground, so that there will be no question regarding tbe legality of tbe proceeding. About twenty residents of Columbus and Columbus township, interested in the petition and remonstrance, were before the board regarding the divid ing of district No. 1. The petitions for division contained forty-eight names, thirty-four from the township and four teen from tbe city, and remonstrance contained 638 names, all from tbe city.

Tbe proposed change would make the Grand Island local, No. 23 leave Omaha at 11:30 p. m., the form er time of No. :(.

Unless there is a greater need of a personal application of the gospel to individual life than ia generally accepted, evea by ohristisa people, the preacher ie several kiadaof afoel. We have reached aa ace whea it w consid ered a virtue to be at peace ia Zioa. When men will mt for twaaty years ia a church pew aader several pastorates without showiag the least sign of a change of life aad the demand ia not to dieturb them in their indifferent woi snip. Without reference aa to what we be lieve today aa tbe need of Jesus in tbe soul there waa a time when the church believed that one without Chriet i lost, and under the spell of that belief men became tremendous preachers. Under tbe spell of tbst belief Jesus wept over the city and said "ye would not come noto me that you might have life." Peter preached tbe sermon on Pentecost and Paul cried, "Lay bold oa eternal life." According to New Testa ment teaching letting a man drown that we might save is nothing in comparison to letting a man go to hell we might save for heaven. The gosple of Jesus is not simply another power of evolution: not simply another power working for social cul ture: not simply another religion; it ie man's only hope of immortality. The ohurch throws open its doors of a Sunday not as another plaee'of eater tainment but a place where the gospel, the power of God and the will of God, ia preached to bring aalvation to dyiag souls. Tbe Congregational people invite you to share tbe blessing of their church with them. Tbe sermon aaSject for next Sundsy morning will be The Con tention of Conscience.
