e. COrbin came up Monday from
Lincoln and says they had q splendid
rain Monday morning. The bacca.
laureate sermon of the twenty third com.
mencement OF the State University was
delivered Sunday evening by Rev
Frank Crane of Omaha. to a large and
highly interested audience.
One can notice the difference be-
tween grasses this dry weather: in
Omaha last week our x0eporter noticed
one lawn of blue grasg which was about
two inches high and brown looking,
while just across the alley in another
yard was some alfalfa, at least two feet
high, with fresh green color.
Col. A. l.. Bixby has accepted the
invitation Of the committee, and will be
the orator of the day for the Fourth OF
July celebration here. Those who have
the faintest knowledge of Bixby's wit
and wisdom will want to hear him on
this occasion, and they will be repaid
for coming many miles for that purpose.
John Burrell, engineer at the water
works, was arrested Monday evening on
a charge Of criminal assault; he gave
bond in the sum of $500 for his appear
ance at 10 o'clock next Friday. The
charge against Mr.. Burrell is very
serious one, but he strenuously denies
the truth of it, and says that it origi-
mates with men who are anxious to
secure his position.
Before her departure Miss Spencer,
language teacher in the high school,
was surprised by her friends of the
Presbyterian church presenting her a
fine album; her Sunday school class
giving her fountain pen. She will be
much missed in the church, having been
an active and efficient helper in every
department. Her friends feel sure that
she will be heard from very favorably in
her mission work.

in to Omaha on the U. p. Near Silver
Creek the guide rod on the ''near" side
became disconnected, smashed through
the fireman's side of the cab. striking
where the fireman had stood but mo-
ment before. A spoke Of the driver was
broke, chunks of metal were knocked
out Of the wheel, and the entire ap-
pearance Of the engine showed the
danger Of matter out Of place"
A baker at st. Edward is authority
for saying that he has been compelled
to inquire Of the band boys in advance
as to the nights on which they will
practice, as he has demonstrated that
his bread will not rise. on those nights,
and an incubator at the Tolman place
fails to hatch chick since the band
began to play. The Sun is responsible
for the spread of this story. Perhaps
changing the tunes would do some good.
The Monroe Looking Glass says:
Rev. DIR. Goodale the Episcopal minis
ter from Columbus preached a splendid
sermon to large and interested con-
gregation at Monroe hall last Sunday.
The reverend gentleman made a very
favorable impression on our people, and
it is hoped he may preach here often i'm
the future The exhibition of school
district q, held in Monroe hall on June
l. was quite a success. Miss Maude
Naylor, the teacher, will develop into
led der in the ranks of drill masters.

&eeAy edition Of that paper during the
present political campaign. He will
send the weekly Inter Ocean for six
months to any subscriber on receipt of

for one of the best and ablest republi-
can newspapers in the country. Good
republicans should try to increase its

ceived at this price from June 1st to
August 1st. After that the regular
prices will be restored. If
Everyone has faults enough and
trials enough without the addition of
what may be added by the peddlers of
false rumors. 1t is fortunate that char
acter and reputation are two entirely
different things. for when idle and
vicious tongues repeat falsehOods, their
character, the solid result of years of
honest worth, will speak for the indi-
vidual and wrestle successfully with the
lies. The saying Of the poet is very
truthful:
Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers.
But error. wounded. writhes in pain
And dies amid her wOrshipers."
The athletic park of the Y. NJ. C. A.
was formally opened Wednesday even

crowd were present. The Ladies' Aux

the lots on the southwest corner of
North and Fourteenth streets, neatly

AT the Wood, Bancroft 4 Co.'S. ranch
in Stanton county, under the manage
ment of Mr.. Mortimer, there is q tract
of two hundred acres devoted to al
falfa, and the manager makes quite a
speciality of it, finding it very profitable
in the feeding Of cattle and hogs. Wal
ter ELY of Madison tells us that many
buy defective seed, and then when it
does not do we'll, blame is laid on the
climate or soil, when it belongs to the
man who furnishes the seed; it is true
that the plant the first season is tender,
but it's roots 60 deep, forming reservoirs
for the holding of moisture, and draw
