On Tuesday evening the 9th inst at
the brides home, by Rev. G. G. Lanius
Mr.. Frank Dotterer of Double Pipe
Creek, and Miss Ida E. Late Of Grace
ham, Nd, were united in marriage.
Only the families connected, and few
invited guests were present.
The 9Th anniversary Of the Graceh ham
Mite Society as announced previously
was celebrated on Monday evening
last the attendance being large. The
exercises of the evening, were num-
Der of we'll rendered musical and liter
airy selections. Rev. Lanius then made
few remarks concerning the little
things of life, that make up the joys or

Brief History Of the G. M. 8.
In recognition of the 9Th AnniverSa-
ry Of the Graceham Mite Society, and
as previous anniversaries were passed
over with barely passing reference
it was thought proper to notice this oc-
casion by special meeting, and re-
view the past by a brief history of the
Mites accumulated, and work accom-
plished during the 6 years growth of
the aociety.
The Society was organized Monday
evening, Feb. End 1880, under the pas
torate of Rev. /. P. Clewell, who with
his wife were very Jealous in its Or
ganization, and advancement. About
twenty-five names were enrolled on
the eve of its organization.
In entering the second quarter,
April 1st 1880, Sixty-four names had
been enrolled this list has rose, and
fell during the period of time now past
by the Society; as new friends were
cast among us, and old friends remov-
ed, each to different spheres of labor,
also as some lose, and others find in
terests in the meetings and benefits Of
the society. The present roll Of pay
ing members number sixty.
In May 1880, Rev. E. W. Shields,
and wife, come among us and for four
years as Pastor and wife kept up an
animated growth, bel NC always ready
with new plans and thoughts thus pre-
senting new interests from time to time
and during their con nection with the
Society saw much work accomplished.
Sept. LIST. '84 Rev. G. G. Lanius be-
came our Pastor who with his wife,
have joined in the work of the society
and are never found wanting in adj
vancing new thoughts of interest, and
new phases of work and to day as
heretofore our life as Mite Society
is one of continual growth.
The Mites Of moral culture, and so.
cial influence, and the Mites Of finan-
cial accumulation have assumed
mighty proportions, at least such, that
as society we can feel elated with.
The first special object of the society
toward which its finances were to be
appropr lated, was the placing Of new
bell upon the church. This was ao-

TROUBLE WILL COME to some of our boys
and then the objectionable habit of jumping
on every sleigh that passes the square will
be broken up. On Sunday afternoon we
saw two small boys attempt to board proba-
bly, dozen slelghs in nearly every instance
they failed to overtake them, when they
would pick up several chunks Of snow and
throw them after the occupants of the sleigh.
We saw several drivers strike back at them
with the whip and on one occasion during
the week We saw the driver take the boy by
the arm, push him off, then whip up the
horse and attain speed that took the little
fellow off his feet and after dragging him
through the deep snow at the side of the
track, left him fall Some drivers will stand
it, Others will not and some Of the latter get
angry enough to do some harm.
If the corporation officers would declare it
misdemeanor, they would be doing favor
to all parties.

The essay on truth in your last issue is
a standing admontlon and applicable for all
time and should be well pondcrcd, not only
by the boys, but also by the men who pro
nounce their impressions as facts. without
first going to the trouble to ascertain whcth-
er or not these impressions are correct.
1t is unfortunate that this reference to
truth had not been compiled in an article by
itself, SO that you could have given it place
on some other page, as remote as possible
from some of the statements which followed;
with such an arrangement it would have had
a much more serious effect upon the men,
bers of this immediate community, and 9TH
crs who have shared the sports about town.
Washington and Grant, with host of
others, whose names occupy places high
above the horizon of fame, are dead all our
living great are enrolled in the great army
that is marching ito the pale realms of rest"
and it IS absolutely necessary that Others
should be qualified to fill the vacancies which
occur from time to time, that our national
greatness may not become a thing Of the
past.
Great men are great men in every walk of
life, but it is only those who are called to the
front who give us the full benefit of their
greatness.
Now, If 1t is really necessary to have war
to bring out the talent and develop the la
tent powers, and if blood is demanded to
make the thing look real and If l am the
sacrifice selected, which is to be wiped out"
suppose l must gracefully submit, having
no choice I crave only this clemency, that
they do not use these new dynamite shells
in their cannonadc. for if one should hit me
there would not be enough of me left to
canonize.
Now, Mr. Editor if you will forgive me
for this my first intrusion, shall retire to
my place in the spectators gallery and prom
Use you that shall not interrupt you again,
unless our good naturcd doctor urges it ms
the only possible means of avoiding anpihi-
lation and then it will be over the signature

A Terrible Experience.

Mr.. r. J. Hunter, of Des Moines, had
q narrow escape from death recently. He
had gone to the early morning Omaha
train to see friend of, and in order to
save the long walk home, he determined
to ride out on the train until opposite
bis house and then jump of. When the
point indicated was reached the train
was running fully twenty miles an hour
aking q jump in the dark exceedingly
ngerous, but he attempted it. As he
wung from the car his foot struck some
obstacle, throwing him down under the
platform and between the two coaches.
With wonderful presence OF mind he
grasped the steps and thus saved him
self from instant death. His situation
was still exceedingly precarious, since if
he loosened bus hold upon the steps he
was in danger Of falling under the
wheels, and on the other hand he was
rapidly being bumped to death on the
ties. Finally, as last resort, he swung
himself as far from the coach as was pos
sible and dropped. Fortunately he
missed the wheels, but his head came in
contact with the end of tie, rendering
him insensible. He finally returned to
Consciousness and recovered strength
efficient to make his way home. His
head and face were badly cut, leaving
marks that will last through life.

The Mexican Baby Supply.
t. Louis Critic.
Everything concerning Mexico is of
interest just now, and it is pleasant to be
assured that among the chief produc-
tions of the country are children. Thus
an observant correspondent in that coun-
try notes the large acquaintance Of the
people with multiplication in saying that
Mexico is the hot-bed of children. The
land is flooded with them and a small
family is thing unknown. They greet
you, he says, at every window, at every
corner, on every woman's back. They
fill the carriages on the plaza, they are
like swarm Of bees around honey
suckle- one on every tiny flower and
hundreds waiting for their choice. A
man died the other day and was followed
to the grave by eighty-seven SONS and
daughters and had buried thirteen, 80
that he was father to the grand total of
100 children. There is another man iv-
ing in Mexico who has had two wives
and who has living forty-five children.
Allowing the small average of five to q
family one can see how numerous the
grand children would be. I am &C.
quainted, he adds, with a gentleman
whose mother is but thirteen years and
a half older than he, and she has eigh
teen more Of family. It is blessed
thing that the natives are able to live in
cane hut and exist on beans and rice,
else the list of deaths By starvation would
be something dreadful"

half of the prisoners in our penitentiary be-
long naturally to the criminal classes, and
more than o1e-half of them are under Is
years of age. Hundreds of these can, by a
course of judicious instruction and dis
cipline, be reformed and reclaimed, and the
new industrial reformatory marks decided
advance in the method of dealing with law
breakers who are not hardened criminals.

for the exercise of its generous impulses
than win be afforded by the establishment
Of this home for the care and education Of
the orphan children OF those who periled
their own lives that the country might live.

ployess This law is not, perhaps, perfect,
but Is II movement in the right direction.

rejoioed over every disaster to the union
armies, and mourned over every union vic
tory; men who had denounced that gentle
and loving Greatheart, Abraham Lincoln,
as q "tyrant" a "baboon," and an
"ape;" men who had assailed our great

butcher" and drunken tanner"-these, in
