GEN. GOWNS OPINION.
The Court House Property Belongs
to The County,

Gen. Gown, county attorney, who has
been looking up the title to the two lots
upon which the old court house stands,
yesterday filed the following opinion with
the county clerk for the direction of the
county commissioners:
To the Board Of County Commissioners,
Douglas county, Neb.
After thorough examination of the ques-
tion, l am clearly of the opinion that the old
court house site, being lots five and six in
block one hundred and eighteen, is public
grounds belonging to the county, and as such
may be sold and conveyed for the purpose of
erecting retaining wall for the new court
house grounds and for grading as submitted by
the board of commissioners, upon being au-
thorized so to do by tue electors of this coun.
ty, as by statute ia that behalf provided, and
that when so authorized the county can give a
good and complete title to the ground con-
veyed. j. q. GOWN,
Attorney for County.
The proposition to sell this property
will be voted on on November 4th next.
This property which is 1872 feet square is
considered by the commissioners to be
worth at least $50, 900. In making their
estimate of value, the court house which
is looked upon as valueless, and the
dwelling house which was sold for $500
short time ago, were not taken into
consideration.

It does not seem possible that it is
necessary to say ANYTHING to !; >ensibl"
farmer about the addition of cattle to his
other farming edterprises. \ herd of
well fed, sleek kpkiny. thoroughbred
cattle is comfoIle sight for man
who has met vi sSes in his wheat
field. II is a great satisfaction to the in
dividnal VIII" has mortgage to take
care Of to contemplate his growing
calves that will be ready just when his
notes arc due And if there are some
large. heavy horses browsing in his pas
ture he is still better contented with his
lot in life
The farmers of the Northwest are fully
alive to the fact that they have the best
country in the world. But they should
moi be content with that fact. They
should be fit to live in their splendid
country, and to be fit tolivc in this coun-
try, they must be cnterpri>ing and wide
awake enough to see that. to be certain
of the best prosperity, they must have
cattle as well as wheat.
If yon like short horns best, start a
herd Of this kind of cattle at once. If
YOU prefer Herefords. or Galloways, or
JERSEYS. let there be some of this kind of
cattle at work making money for you. If
Holsteins are your choice, you have
made wise selection, and one that you
will never regret; but don't wait any
length of time before having some Of the
black and white beauties upon your
estate. This is, par excellence, the stock
country of the world, and now is the
time to make start in this direction

Some time ago Judge e.. of Nashville:

the Jurors.
"Ah. I thought so.'' And yet Judge

the railroads do not intend to destroy
your stock, even while they carry cow

Attractive Homes.

In the rage for the esthetic in architec-
ture, the fmIOrtantance Of the home ele-
ment is often entirely overlooked. A
house may realize the most exact re-
quirements Of art, and he in perfect ac-
cord with some particular order Of archi-
lecture, and yet be as lacking in the
home feeling az a barn. There are par
lors that are ornately furnished and
filled with costly bric-a-brac, which are
only meant to he looked at. Occasionally
they are opened for reception, and the
entertainment is formal and frigid be.
cause of the fear that the furniture may
he damaged. A house is !: place where
all that is provided is intended to be
utilized. If this can be done familiarly Y
and comfortably, one element, at least,
in the house life is provided. And art
and adornment do not need to destroy
this feeling. Art is meant to give pleas
ure, and adornment should minister to
comfort. Where this is done, all the art
that can be brought to bear is properly
utilized and has its value.
A fine painting or picture, for example
is a source of satisfaction and comfort, for
years. A real work of art never pals on
the taste, and fills our ideals for years
1t is source Of perennial joy, and at.
tracts to the house. So the home life
does much to make it Il place Of attrac'
ton. Each house, in order TO bt' attrar
! tive, must have some special magnet. IL
some cases it is loving, patient wife
and mother, whose gentle art soothes
away care, and creates !, longing, on the
part Of the family, for home. In others
it is husband and father, who possesse.
the happy art Of entertaining and in
structing, until all associated with hin
are filled with his kindly spirit In al
such cases, where congcniality abound>

And with or without arts these are at

Make place somewhere for small
fruits Don't be afraid that they will
not pay. They take up only little
room, little time and attention. and
they well reward the grower. An ex-

fruits, says:

nothing about it how few plants of each
separate kind will produce sufficient
fruit for large family. Two hundred

About franks.

When man gets worsted in argument
and is in such tight place that he can
not wrigglc ont, he sits down, draws n
long breath, and misses ''crank" at his
opponent Mr.. Burdcttc hits the nail on
the head when he saws: Cranks. my
son? The world il full of them. What
would we do were it not for the cranks?: ::
How slowly the tired old world would
move did not the cranks keep it rushing
along. Columbus was crank on the
subject of American discovery and cir
c,,mnavigation, and last he met the fate
of most cranks, was thrown into prison,
and died in poverty and disgrace. Great
ly venerated now? Oh, yes. Telemachus,
we usually esteem crank most pro-
foundly after we starve him to death.
Harvey was crank on the subject of
circulation Of the blood; Galileo was an
astronomical crank; Fulton was a crank
on the subject ofstean navigation; Morse
was telegraph crank; all the old aboli-
tionists were cranks; the Pilgrim Faith
ers were cranks; John Bunyan was i,
crank: aly man who doesn't think us
YOU do, my son, is crank. And by and
by the crank you dcspise will have his
name in every mans mouth, and a half
completed monument to his memory

nobody out of your native village will
know that YOU ever lived. S|eal gently

cranks are crankier than others, but do
YOU be very slow to >ncer 1T il man be-
cause he knows only one thing and YOU
can't understand him.
A crank, Telenachus,. is Il thing that
turns something, it makes the wheels 90
round, it insllles progress. True. it turns
the same " heel all the time, and it can't
do anything else, but that's what keeps
the ship going ahead. The thing that
goes in for variety, versatility, that
changes its position hundred times a
day, that is no crank; that is the weather
vane, my son. What? You neyerthe-
less thank heaven you arc not crank :?
Don't do that, my son. Maybe you
couldn't be crank if you would. Hea-
ven Is not very particular when it wants
weather-vane; almost any man will do
for that. But when it wants a crank my
boy, it looks about very carefully for the

Remedy tor Smut in Wheat.

Take ten pounds of blue stone to one
ton of wheat dissolve the blue stone in
water. Fill large barrel or trough
about half full of water. A trough is
more convenient. Then put in enough
of the blue stone water SO that when the
wheat has been in the water four or five
minutes the broken grains will lave a
greenish look. when they get dry. We
dip in the sacks for convenience. and
leave the sack in from five to ten min
