An infant child of Mis-. Rigsby, very
poor woman living near here, was at
some distance from the house playing at
the very inter sting sport OF burning
leaves with matches, when his clothing,
coming in contact with the burning
leaves, instantly caught fire. The child
became greatly frightened, and was in
imminent danger of being burned to
death. His little sister, a child of eight
or ten years, who was playing with him,
started to tell her mother of the danger
Gus position of her child, but with a
presence of mind unequaled by many
persons OF more mature years, she saw
at a glance that her little brother would
be burned to death before she could re-
turn with her mother, SO she seized the
child, who was now wrapped in flames,
and threw him in mud-puddle that
CHANGED to be conveniently near, and so
extinguished the flames and saved the
life of her brother The boys burns are
quite severe, but it is not thought they
will prove fatal.

rate OF natural increase In favor of the
whites is not very large, but with the
negro numbering at this time less than
one in eight of the population,
and with the record of century
clearly demonstrating the slower in.

to assume that the permanent supremacy
OF the white race in this country is

stitute an inconsidcrable element in our

THE VOYAGERS or THE PLAINS.

The annual voyage of the prairie
schooner is about to begin. From
thousand snug ports these ships of the
plains will soon set sail with their freight
of homeseekers. This strange feature of
western life has lost little of its nov
city by familiarity, 1t still retains the
romantic and picturesque elements
which have always appealed strongly
to the fancy Of the poet, the novelist
and the painter. The prairie schooner
is the emblem of the pioneer, and the
pioneer always has been and al ways will
be hero to the popular Imagination.
However entertaining the exterior as
poets Of this annual migration may be- it
represents very serious underta king
to the people Immediately concerned
and is OF considerable Importance to the
people of the west as whole. Elsewhere
THE BEE publishes communication
which treats OF the subject with con
siderable care and in an admirable spirit.
This timely article suggests problems
that may be probably discussed.
The occupant of the prairie schooner
is always homeseeker and generally a
homesteader He is the typical settler
of the west and of all new countries. He
has tanned the Wilderness, broken the
virgin soil Of the prairie and planted the
seeds of civilization. He avails
himself of the generous offer of the gov
ernment to take up 1850 acres of public
land, and expects that his toll will be re-
warded with "A living and something
more And yet this hardy pioneer is
often found in the springtimo loading his
family and belongings into the old can
vas covered wagon and again drifting Off

THE UPRISING ar pENDER

Special dispatches by grapevine telo-
graph to the World Herald make the
following startling announcement:
The democrats of Pender and vicinity are
very indignant over the way Governor Boyd
disposed OF the Newberry maximum freight
bill Never was this little city so stirred UP
as tonight. Even when Governor Thayer
vetoed the Thurston county bill they were
not SO up in arms as now. If Boyd
had assassinated the president of the United
States the citizens could not be more indig.
nant than they are tonight
The revolt of the populace Of Pender
cannot fail to create the most intense
alarm in northern Nebraska. Pender is
the capital of Thurston county and
Thurston county was named after tho
most rantaukerous anti-monopolst this
side of the Rockies The national census
OF 1880 credits Thurston county with
3,lBl inhabitants, of whom about twenty
three hundred are Indians of the Winnie
bago and Omaha tribes. For many
months every buck, squaw and papoose
has been clamoring for the Newberry
bill, and every mothers son of them is

terry. And the entire population of Pen.
der-3OO men, women and child ren-are
preparing to take to the war path with
the red skins. We know that the demo-
Gratis of Pender are not to be trihed
with. They are up in arms and will
demand an unconditional resignation at
the hands of the governor or perish in
their harness.

OUGHT TO BE INQUIRED I.yTO.

Some members of the city council ap.
pear to regard the theft and mutilation
of the Ballou electric light ordinance as
huge joke. 1t is by no means bit of
humor The council should not rest
until the culprit guilty of the vandalism
| or misdemeanor has been discovered,
disgraced and punished.
If some member of the council has been
tam pering with official documents, he
should be exposed and expelled.
If the fault is in the clerks office, it
should be located, and whether the
| mutilation was accidental or the result
OF corruption, the guilty party should be
made to suffer. No such accident can he
excused.
The city clerk should bestir himself
to lift suspicion from his Office. Several
councilmen insist that the missing paper
was attached to the ordinance when it
was passed to the deputy clerk for final
action.
If the city clerk proves his Office to be
without fault then the position of Ger
tain members OF the council is decidedly
embarrassing and an explanation from
them will be in order.
Without reference to the merits of the
ordinance or the people whom the ordi-
nance grants franchise, every man
directly or indirectly connected with the
dirty effort to defeat it after it was fully
discussed and fairly passed will be more
or less under suspicion until the respon-
sibility is located
This is another hagrant example of
the loose methods of conducting city
affairs. There is great need for reform
in methods as well as motives in our
municipal government.

A GRAND ARMY 1NNIyERSARy 4

Il L.,
Twenty-Five years ago tomorrow, April
q, 1866, the first post of the Grand Army
OF the Republic was organized at Deca-
tur, Ill. This was the beginning of the
largest and most important organization
OF veteran soldiers in the history OF the
world. 1t was modest beginning, her.
aided by no proclamation and accom-
panied with no pomp or pageantry.
But the seed thus quietly sown
grew and spread with marvellous
vigor under the benignant in
huence of affectionate comrade-
ship and ardent patriotism, and in few
months the order was established whose
membership now numbers nearly half a
million and whose benefactions in the
quartero of a century of it's existence have
amounted to several millions of dollars.
The Grand Army of the Republic was
wholly original in conception and unique
in character. There had been n othinp
exactly like il before in any country 1t
was conceived in the idea of
perpetuating comradeshp, preserving
the memories OF the hardships and sacri-
fices, as we'll as the triumphs and glory.
OF the soldiers experience, and of keep
ing alive the fires of patriotism How
well 1t has accomplished these purposes
the nation well knows. Nearly half a
million men have been drawn into the
closest OF fraternal bonds and it is we'll
understood that tens of thousands OF
these would rally again, if the emer-
gency called them, TO the defense OF the
country as readily and willingly as they
aid to the summons Of Abraham Lincoln.
As the organization grew, the scope
OF its usefulness broadened, and not only
We're Its charities generously extended
to those of its members who needed such
help, but its influence was exerted
Tor just recognition of the
claims OF worthy veterans TO a share
OF the favors Of government. Certainly
history will be searched in vain for any
organization with better aims or OF
larger and worthier usefulness,
