AZ EXTENSIVE FIRE.

The most extensive IRE, in point Of loss,
that ever visited Scranton, broke out early
Saturday morning IN the business section Of
the city. When the ilames were brought un-
Ter control at 10 o'clock the loss had reached
at conservative estimate $3.50 900. For n
time it looked rs though the entire business
section OF the city would surely be destroyed.

1T is often remarked that q large ma.
jority Of those who regularly attend the
churches in Red Cloud are women. 1t il
safe to count that four out Of five who
go up to the temple to worship on the
Sabbath are the mothers, wives and
daughters OF the men who ought to be
there to show their children q good ex.
ample even though they may not be Of a
religious turn OF mind. II men took the
same unselfsh interest in church work
that women do it would be better for
them and better for the world in general.
Religion is a refining and civilizing
agency, and il people could only be in
duced to live up to it's teachings they

lovable. Bad and all as the world is

it? 1t is the anchor OF safety to millions

THAT CRY WATER.-For the last few
years we have heard a great deal about
the city water. We have been lead to
believe that good water could be secured
by spending money upon the bottoms
at the present location Of the pumping
station, and rs far as IL goes, the water
is all right, but it does not go far enough.
Up TO the present date the wells have
cost the city in the neighborhood Of
$1,000, and what have we to show for itY
II the money during these years
had been properly expended in artesian
wells there would be plenty Of water
But here comes spring and before it is
fairly begun the foul creek water has to
be let In, impregnated with all the
filth that naturally finds it's way to the
creek. We presume the aldermen were
honest in their purpose, but it does look
like a waste OF money to search after
water where there is none. and keer
sinking money in tho ground withou,
some good result. II there can be nc
better water produced, the city ought tc
at once, take off all rates and allow the
people to have the water without cos
as IL is an absolute robbery to ask one e
pay for such corruption as comes from
the creek. IL the water was properl,
filtered IL could be used, but in its pres
ent condition IL is an outrage TO ask tn,
citizens to pay for it. During the win
ter the water was excellent but thing
have changed now, and the other is tn,

WHAT A PICTURE OF BEAUTY.-Red
Cloud 10 now a picture OF beauty. and IL
the old town could take a peep at her
self in q looking glass and compare her
present good looks with the slipshod
style in the early days she would give
her bangs another twist and turn up her
delicately curved ~nostrils at her envious
%neighbors. A drive through the streets
OF the town just now, when the trees
are bursting into delicate green buds
and the lawns are rich in the fresh yer.
durc OF spring, is a picture OF beauty
that would soften the heart Of q man
who is a pessimist by nature. The
world is full OF wonderful things, but
there is nothing more wonderful or more
beautiful than the re-awakepipp of
nature when the frost gets out OF the
ground, when the sunshine warns lis
hands, and the birds fill the air with
their merry songs. This is a grand
world after all, rail at it as we may when
the storms Of adversely seem to sweer
over us. And Nebraska is a grand state
when we have the seasons come in due
time to brighten and cheer us up
After a long and dreary winter the frs,
warm breath of spring breaths new life
into us and gives us promise that al
least till the cold winds Of January come
again there will be one succession OF
pleasant changes, and every one in its
due season, the rain and the sunshine
bringing the rich harvest OF grain apd
fruit, and OF every comfort and luxur,
that makes happy the heart OF the in
dustrlous toiler. Red Cloud nestles il
one OF the best agricultural counties il
the state, and no wonder she should bt
proud Of what has been accomplished
within a few years. Take a drive through
the streets of Red Cloud and then ex
tend your pleasure trip for miles il
every direction and you will sec one Of
the grandest picture OF prosperity the
sun ever shone upon.

vcy thousands Of beautiful farms in every
direction. On the south are the beauti.
full green hills dotted with farm houses
and industrious farmers. On the west,
north and east with handsome hills and
dells. thousands Of groves and other
beauties OF nature. With her grand
Republican river and clear creeks she
stands pre-. eminently ahead Of any other
Nebraska city for a place to build a home
and live in happiness. Red Cloud re.
ceived her name from the famous old
