1T u now Sid that moro than three
hundred towns and cities Of tho United
Ststes, some - large - Omaha, are
operating what 10 known - q curfew
ordinance. So we'll has the ordinance
worked that reports, gathered from not
less than forty OF the towns where it il
. Law, show that tho fine or imprison-
ment penalty has not been inflicted in .
single instance, the 6rst caution serving
every purpose. The intent OF the Law 10
certainly good, viz: That children
should be at homo ut an hour not IN
reasonably late. It hes long been q
well-recognized fact that after-dark,
street education" has given the oppor-
tunity to both girls and boys to enter q
life Of folly, crime, degradation, despair
and ruin generally. The curfsw ordi-
nance. especially aimed at hoodlums
and those who may possibly become
such, has, by its practical operations,
approved itself wherever instituted, and
there seems to be no good reason Why it
should become general. On the part Of
teachers there 10 q crying complaint
that the amusements, diversions and
designations OF out-of-school hours sadly
interfere With the proper work Of the
school. All intelligent people would at
once concede that any form Of vice
would do this. The intemperanoe Of
late hours out, in amusements border
ing on the non-bene6cial or the useless,
not to say positively injurious line, can
be little questioned. Teachers and pa
rents should work together in such
matters for the best good Of those in
their charge, and make the days Of our
youth not only profitable to them, but
also "a agreeable and a ~innooently
amusing q may be.

"A large number Of a Columbus

"A large number OF our Columbus
readers will remember Elder A. j. Cud-
ney OF the Advent church, who preached
here . number OF times in former years,
and who gained many friends by his
evident sincerity and undoubted ability.
Some eleven or twelve years ago he re-
ceived an order from the general con-
ference Of his church to 60 to the Pit
cairn island in the South Pacific ocean
to baptize converts and do other mis-
sionary work. At Honolulu he pur-
chased q vessel, fitted it out and sailed
with his crew, and here all trace Of him
stops. The last word received from him
was written July IS, 1885, q few days
before he sailed. 1t Is thought the YES
sci went to the bottom Of the sea. Mr..
Cudney thinks differently; that he was
cast upon some island far away and IL
still alive. She is now engaged in
school work in Kentucky. At the Ad-
ventist camp meeting at Fremont, one
evening Of last week was devoted to the
Cudney Memorial service, and We SON.

in the Fremont Tfibune's mention Of the

hung up in the room. $50 were in bills

The Telegram is seemingly in a
worry in regard to the next board of
supervisors. Nominate good men and
proceed to elect them" is very good adj
vice, but it does not necessarily follow,
however, that democrats only should be
elected. The present board have done
e~xcellently good work along all lines,
following the council of Mr.. Gondring,
the county attorney and official legal
advisor of the board, who has been called
upon for his opinion on several occasions
when there was question OF legality
notably in the Monroe bridge matter,
where the county was asked to loan
funds to build a bridge. Yes, it is i'm
portant to select good men, careful men,
judicious men as supervisors.
