Teach your child the beauty of frank

ception everywhere. If you will fondle
him and dote on him in society and
Jerk him baldheaded in the seclusion of
the home circle, he will readily under
stand what you mean. Children soon
learn that if you hug their. little giz-

then, when the home life is again re-
sumed, you throw them down cellar
and wear out table leg on their chub-

and the square-toed, open, frank policy
is not generally in use.
Parents should impress upon their
children the beauty of self-sacritice and

A Japanese Monument.


The growth OF modern ideas in Japan
has been Significantly indicated of late
in the erection by Japanese land-own-
or of an imposing monument to 9. ID.
Richardson, an Englishman, who died
in 1868 during the fierce struggle
against the outside Nations. Mr. Rich
ardson was hacked TO death by the
guards OF Japanese nobleman, and
his companions were cruelty maltreat-
ed. The affair was one of the causes
of the bombardment of Kagosheema by a
British squadron, in which 1900 Japan
csc were Killed and wounded and Us, 00O..
900 worth of property was destroyed.
Then indirectly also the murder led to
the suppression of feudalism in Japan
through the agitation which followed.
and the monument now set up is ap'
parently a recognition of that reform
as much as of the man whom it honors
1t is placed on a mound on the spo
where he fell, and is inscribed will
verses recording his virtues, and pray
ing THAT the thoughts of the blessing
he brought us may gladden. his heart i
the land of the shades. - Chicago 1rit

BY Stage to Damascus.

During the last two decades Damascus
has been in connection with the outside |
world by means of a magnificent dirt |
road, built and operated by a French
company. A regular diligence leaves
each city at 4:30 o'clock in the morn
ing, and arrives at the opposite terminus
at six o'clock, approximately, in the
evening. Another, carrying the NAILS.
leaves at about dusk from either city.
The diligence started with crack of
the long whip, Just at the hour pre-
scribed. A phalanx of six powerful
horses, arranged in threes abreast, was
the motive power. Every five or eight
miles, according to the character of the
country, there was change of horses,
which was promptly effected. Where
the gradients in the road were sharpest
the horses were displaced by mules, the
best animals always being provided, in
order to shorten the time of the ascent.

The Republican Valley has Probably
never seen such an emigration as is now
pouring into her territory, and has new
er shown such disposition to improve
ment as Is now demonstrated on every
hand. McCook is town Of which her
every citizen is proud, and this pride
and confidence in her permanency is
evinced by the character Of the build
ings, resident and business, now in
course of erection within her limits, as
we'll as the numerous additions and i'm
provements to be observed everywhere.
People are beginning to 'spread out"
as it were, which we take as indicative
of present prosperity and a firm belief
in the future of this booming little city.
If you lack faith in your town, take a
little jaunt down the valley and draw
few comparisons, and we warrant you
will have better opinion of McCook
than you previously entertained, such
"a one as may be heard expressed in the
eastern part of the state frequently. :

We have no distinct recollection about
this corporation ever having been leas-
ed to any party or parties tor slaugh-
ter house or yard, but those who wit
messed the killing of that pig on our
streets, Wednesday evening, probably
thought so, and in fact were justified in
so thinking. We don't know just what
status such actions have in a commu-
nifty, but we venture to demonstrate
mildly against such a course as being
scarcely proper, not to say dangerous
and disgusting.

McCook ought to make strenuous
and continuous effort to have a mail
route running from North Platte to
Oberlin, through this place. The pres
ent route is an outrage on the very peo-
pie it is intended by the government it
should benefit. There is not one good
reason why the route should go through
the county-seat or any other town, when
the route by way of McCook would be
a saving in distance, and time as we'll.
This alone ought to be sufficient reason
why the route ought to be changed, but
when we consider the matter of conven-
fence to the people, the present route
does not fill the bill. Letters coming
from east of the Missouri and addressed
to parties living in the northern part OF
this county, 60 first to North Platte,
thence short distance east again,
thence to Indianola, and from Indianola
to destination, requiring twice as much
time as direct route from North Platte
through McCook to Oberlln would re-
quire. We speak not of this matter
because we are anxious to have the
route run through this town as town,
but because the present route is gross
imposition upon the people who ought
to receive promptly their mail, and in
the shortest time and most direct route
feasible. And they should have it.

The house committee on public lands
has agreed upon bill making some
changes in regard 10 the settling Of pub
lie lands that will be Of considerable in
terest in the west. The pre- emption and
timber claim acts are to repealed and
the homestead act is to be amended so
that proof of four years residence upon
and cultivation of the land claimed must
be made before the land can be obtained.
The proof must be made by two credible
witnesses, and will remain on file in the
general land Office for one year before
the protest will be made out, so that full
opportunity may be given for the diseov-
cry of fraud, or the appearance of
other claims to the land. The repeal
of the presumption and timber acts will
not be much regretted by those who
wish to make actual settlement upon
public lands. These acts, especially the
latter, have opened the door to an i'm
mense amount of fraud, and have per-
mitted the owning ofvast tracts of lands
by persons who never saw them. In
this way thousands of acres in the north.
west territories have fallen into the
hands of mere spectators and money
sharks which would otherwise be open
to actual cultivation. The new restric-
tons on homestead claims are severe,
but no well-founded exception can be
taken to them. To have the public
lands in the possession of actual cul
tivators and settlers is an object that
is worth attaining at the expense of any
trouble.
