A Word to the Wise is Sufficient.
Mr.. Editor: Would you allow me
through your paper to give little adj
vice to the young people in the neigh
borhuod of Buckwheat Ridge. On
Sunday evening May 9th the minister
had to close his service on account of
the empty headedness of q few persons.
Six in all, but six whose faces and
names are we'll known. Their conduct
was shameful and disgraceful in the
extreme, and is worthy of the seyerest
censure; and not only so, but before
any Justice Of the Peace would ensure
a penehy SO severe that none of said
parties could conveniently stand it.
And sir, to prove they are known. and
as the most of them take your paper,
and for their special benefit, will say.
two OF them live in Lancaster, two or
three just over on the Lancaster side Of
the Platte River, land one in Dry Hollow
And sir, Judging from their conduct
last Sunday night, it would appear as
if their heads would favorably compare
with the last named place-Dry Hollow
Not that we want any to stay away
from church, but rather would say TO
all, come and welcome; but when there,
we do want them at least to conduct
themselves differently than at circus.
or Kickapoo entertainment. Aud we
want them to understand, though this
is a free country, it is only free to do
right; for law is not made for the
obedient, but for the disobedient. and
if force of law have to be resorted to,
to procure order (not that we want to-
but if nothing else will do) then certain
y it would only be right to expect such
persons to pay for the lessons taught
in the schools Of law.
For ifstubborn diseases require strong
medicines, they ought not TO refuse to
take it. Hence the trustees of said
church and tho minister will, if such
conduct be repeated, seek to enforce
such means as will procure peace, ana
conduct becoming a church. TO the
wise word ought to be enough, and |
would say if such persons want picnic
at any time, go to some place else than
a church 70 have it. Better wait till
the fourth OF July. None of the parties
interested in this dsgraceful affair be-
long to Buckwheat Ridge.
Yours for Right and Right doing.
PASTOR.

An Inquiry.


Mr.. EDITOR, could you inform the
, public what has become Of, or who holds
the unexpended funds of the subscrip-
tons collected for prior celebrations
and reunions? There must be over a
hundred dollars in the custody of the
different treasurers or finance commit
tees. VIII the gentlemen who hold
these funds please inform the public of
the amount in their hands.
In connection with the fore going in
quiry it may b su yested that the city
does not own rs much as a
red, white and blue rag, much less a
flag,nor does the county own one unless
it is that 8 X flag that was hosted on the
court house when Cleveland was elected.
and that, | believe is owned by pri-
vate person, or is one of the flags which
was brought here at the last reunion
for decorative purposes.
The large street flag which has been
sponged for many years from Gen.
Calls ON public occasions, was last
year in condition difficult to handle
and ought to be laid away in casket
with the inscription "Worn out in the
service Of the city Of Lancaster and
be returned to Gen. Calls with thanks.
The surplus funds of prior celebrations
belong to the donors, and ought to be
returned to them pro rata, or used for
purpose that will benefit the public
generally. Why not use these funds
to buy flag? No reflection is intended
upon the integrity of the gentlemen who
hold these funds; no inquiry has been
heretofore made in this matter, and /
know that it has been query to them
how to apply them. x.

The Proposed Factory.

A meeting of citizens was called at
the Court House last Friday evening
for the purpose of considering the ques-
ton OF giving the factory property here
as bonus to an enterprising man who
proposes to start an excelsior and fur
niture factory here. Mayor G. H Baxter
waschosen chairman andW. G Chandler
secretary of the meeting. II was stated
that q man had been here, examined
the building ard the timber in this wi
cinity aud decided that he could use
both 10 his business. He had spoken
OF putting in from $4,000 to $1,000 into
machinery and improvements, and
thought the citizens here ought to give
him the property as bonus.
II. Meyer, jr., as agent for the owners
Of the property, had written and ascer-
tanned their lowest cash price-$l50O,
the effer to remain open until May 23rd
The question was pretty wen dis
cussed in all its bearings. and the sec.
rotary TOOK down what was said BY
each gentleman. Il is perhaps sufli-
cient TO state that the sentiment of the
meeting was strongly ia favor of giving
energy and encouragement to the es-
tablishment OF such an enterprise, that
there was good deal Of enthusiasm
shown by many, and less Geld water
than might have been expected thrown
by others.
The idea of leasing the property for
a long period was suggested,
but it WAS thought that no
business man would put money into
property to which he had 10 title.
Previous experience with the mill
property was referred to and it was
stated that clause in the deed to Street
Bros, Marshall q Co prohibited the re-
movai q the machinery. 1t was stated
however, ia justice to them. that tho
bargain was made without that co n
di!ion, that they refused to accept the
deed with it in, but as much trouble bad
been experienced in getting the sigma
| lures, and upon the assurances of two
eminent lawyers that the clause was
imperative from the fact that 20 penalty
bad been attached to its non observance,
they finally accepted the deed.
The question Of raising the money by
tax was suggested, but it was stated
that we have no authority under our
charter to levy tax for such q purpose.
1t was aiso suggested that the prop
erty could be bought b. subscription,
and owned bY.a corporation, regularly
Differed, Tie stockholders of which
would be the subscribers, and the rent
given to the manufacturer.
Upon the whole, however, it was
thought the best plan to raisethe money
by subscription, purchase the property
and deed it to the manufacturer upon
satisfactory assurance that he would
run good live business in good faith.
Upon motion it was voted that the
chair appoint committee OF three to
inquire fully into the matter, ascertain
exactly what the man would propose to
do, and report At meeting to be called
bg the committee later. The chair
appointed Il. Meyer.Jr. John Schrciner
and VIM. E Webb
1t was voted unanimously that it be
the sense OF this meeting that if a good
live business car be brought here we
should buy the property
The committee has written TIE gentle
man asking him to meet the citizens
here at as early a date as possible, or to
send written proposition for their
consideration.

Neutrality-suspicious..

Has the HERALD nothing to say about
our country roads. The inevitable
road oyerseer has again commenced
his work of obstruction, which is chiefly
done by making hummocks or thank
you-ma' ans across the roads. Those
hummocks are an unmitigated evil.
The wear and tear of teams and vehicles
by these distractions is heavy tax on
the community.
The ostensible object is to drain the
road, but as far as drainage is con-
cerned they are a failure. There are
other and better methods Of drainage.

We clip the following from the Wv

We clip the following from the Wy
more (Nebraska) Union: At the meet
ing of the city council Tuesday night a
franchise was granted to Alex. Stewart
and Ora Richards TO put in an electric
light plant, the city agreeing to take six
lights at eight dollars per month. The
city gives them six months to get their
plant in operation The franchise will
be asked from the city of Blue Springs
and that city will be asked to take four
lights for the purposes of lighting the
streets The Blue Springs water power
will be used. This is quite a step for the
twin Cities, but one that they are in
good condition TO take. The proposition
is certainly very reasonable one and
the business men and citizens of both
towns should lend Messrs. Steward and
Richards every encouragement.
