Yes. little Frances is gone from this world
Of sorrow and care. Her stay was but short

world of happiness She was beloved by
everybody who knew her. She gained the
love and friendship of all her playmates.
During her mothers late illnesSshe was first

the cause. Frequently she would get up in
the night and keep watch with her father by
her mothers bedside. On the day before she
was taken sick, being found weeping, she
was asked by her mother why she was cry
ing. she said: Mamma, your time has come

was taken to her bed where she fingered in
great suffering for six days, when the bright
angels came and bore her spirit to her happy
home above. Just before her departure she
called for Ter parents and sisters. The last
words she spoke was TO her mother. Placing
her al ms around her neck, she said-"Mama.

speak to her father. but could not. How hard
is the parting from loved ones to whom we
have become so much attached. But tshehas

behold her smiling face on earth, but we
hope to meet her in the bright world above
where there is no more parting.
Dearest children, fare thee well;

You find repose and endless rest.

On Tuesday evening of this week
the Mayor called the City Council to-
gether. and the business men of the
city, to hear Mr.. Silsby explain the
merits of the Silsby Steam Fire En-
gine. manufactured at Seneca Falls.
n. Y. Mr.. s. showed conclusively
that his was the best fire engine made,
and his audien ce were sensible of the
fact, as they long have been, that q
good fire protection is what We want
and must have as soon as the city is
able to purchase an engine. It is
generally thought at this time that
the city is not prepared to contract an
additional Indebtedness of SO, 900 to
So, 1000. which it would have to do in
purchasing one of the cheapest Silsby
engines. We have not time for ex-
tended comments on this matter at
this time.

OUR TAXES.
lItor Nebraska Advertiser.

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
The annual visit of the precinct and
city assessors remind us of our coDtri-
buttons to the support of Government.
as well as our common duties as citi-
zens. No good citizen should COM
plain when called upon to- contribute
in proportion to his ability and means.
But when glaring, repeated and con-
tinued inequalities are practiced. It Is
not strange that Taxpayers complain
and seek remedies. 1t Is contended
by some that our Revenue Laws are
defective. There Is no defect in the
law. The difficulty Is in the Admin
istration of the law. Will you, Mr..
Editor, or some one in authority, in
form the public and taxpayer Of this
county where the precinct assessors
obtain the authority to convene and
agree to average the value of land in
each precinct; and to average the
value of horses aud mules in the
county. when the law expressly pro-
vides that "all taxable property. per-
sonal and real, shall be listed and val
ued each year at its actual Uatue ?"
Why is land worth Sl3 per acre in
Brownvilie 9 precinct, $40 In London
and s. in Peru? Why Is your horse,
which you can cash any day on the
street for $50, and mine that cannot
be made to bring S25. valued each at
$50? VIII sore one have the good
ness to explain this mode of assessing
property? Is this what the law in
tends as ''equalizing ?"
The whole procedure Is wrong and
unjust. The listing and valuation of
property for purposes of revenue, is
the starting point, and should be gone
with correct. Some of your
best legal minds Insist that any varia-
lion from the prescribed mode of pro-
,edure in the matter of revenue invaii-
iates the whole. Let US begin now
20 have our taxes In shape, just and
equal, and so they can be collected.

Editor Nebraska Advertiser
As the time for naming the men
who are to represent us in the COM
ing constitutional Convention Is near
at hand. 1t Is eminently proper that
we should look about us to see who,
OF all the good men in our midst, will
and eau best represent our necessities.
We need men who are not only able
to see our wants, but have the ability
to suggest the remedy; not only the
ability. but who can command the re-
spect OF their fellow members. Such
a man may be found in the person of
j. III. Broadly, of this city. We
would call the attention of Richard
son county to Mr.. Broady's fitness to
represent Richardson and Nemaha in

Only little mound of earth,
A grave,-Ieft Us here to tell
OF our darling Fannie Lulu
The child we have loved so well.
Only few cast-of garments.
And a lock OF shining hair,
Some toys. tiny paif of shoes,
That our darling used to wear.
From early morn until evening.
We watch and listen to greet;
The bird like voice OF our dear one,
And the patter of childish feet.
Nerveless the feet, the voice is hushed,
All in vain we watch and weep.
The loving eyes and tender arms,
Are folded and closed in sleep.
Oh! Thou who hast burst asunder.
The bars of the cruel tomb,
Guide and direct US in mercy.
Thro' clouds of doubling and gloom.
Up to the clear bright shining mount.
Till by faith we see the way
To the land of glorified spirits.
Perfect peace, and endless day.
Far beyond earth IS dying and pain,
In Paradise free to roam,
Well think OF Fannie Lulu.
In our Fathers House at Home.
There at last we hope to meet her.
When our pilgrimage is DER,
Through the merits of our Saviour.
We may reach that Shining Shore"
