1t is a matter of humiliation and re-

city do not possess the good taste, the
regard for the day, and the respect for
the feelings of others, to refrain from

profanity of those engaged in this sport
in past Sundays, has plainly been heard

the city. 1t is to be hoped that this
reference to the matter will suggest to
the base ballists of the city the proprie-
ty Of observing the day in a more civil

Last Monday afternoon, while doing
some shopping at Wilcox & Fowler's
store on West Dennison St., Miss Mary
Melia, was a victim of some miserable
sneak thief, who relieved her of her
purse containing about s25 in cash.
Miss Melia had gone over to the Mem
tee House to see some samples and had
placed her shopping bag, containing the
purse and money,on a shelf in the above
named store. Upon her return from the
hotel, the purse and contents were gone.
No clue to the thief. The loss falls the
heavier upon Miss Mary at this juncture,
when she has the greatest need of it.

Coll at THE TRIBUNE Office for
cheap stationery, pen holders, pens.

Not having the legal means of raising
the money to pay the unreasonable sala-
ries of the city officers it has been neces-
sary to resort to schemes to compass
the desired end. And a more disgrace
full travesty on the law were hard to
imagine than the course pursued at the
beginning of this month. We under
stand that the police simply went around
to the gamblers and prostitutes and taxed
them so much, amounting to $40, which
money instead of being placed with FL.
McCracken, the City Treasurer, to the
credit of the school fund, as the law re-
quires, was applied on the salaries of the
city officers, entirely contrary to law.
AS matter of law and justice the police
have no more authority to lay an embar-
60 on these outcasts, in this manner,
than they have upon the most immacu-
late citizen amongst us. These people
should be arrested, brought before the
Police Judge, and fined, according to
law. and the officer hat pursues any
other course, does so at his peril. The
procedure is illegal, outrageous and mas
ty, and the man who dabbles in it,
throws himself open to severe criticism.
Contrast the condition of affairs in
Western Illinois, as described by the
Monmouth Gazette, with our ownest
Western Nebraska, the "Great Ameri-
can Desert" where we have plenty of
moisture and superabundant crops:
''It would be possible but not profitable to
talk long about the weather. Suffice to say
that the mercury keeps up in the n%ineties, it
doesn't rain and the drouth has probably
placed the corn crop beyond redemption,
even by copious showers. Stock is being
shipped for want of feed and water, and all
the unpleasantness of the largest dry spell
for years is being endured

good moral character, but an atmos-

several hundred girls who are writing

Miss Anne Whitley, prsodnounlceq by
James Jackson Jarvis the first sculptor
of America, early developed artistic
taste and distinction, in Boston cir
cles, as poet. :. Her taste was turned
to modelling in clay by the accidental
upsetting Of a pot Of sand in green
house, when she noticed. ), how readily
the damp sand in the:foWer pot. took
shape. Thus, easily the sands of cir
cumstance are moulded into traits of
character. a plastic lump Of mortality
may metamorphize into an Immortal
glow of genils. as if by mere accident.
1t is not an accident that she is agent
us, whose halo bursts forth a glowing
crown Of gloty; but it may have been a
happy circumstances and smiling. Prov
