the police at the first precinct gave them

THE MEASURE OF A MAN

Would you your duties do as well
Tho their reward you could not see
Could you wait till time should tell
just what that reward should be?
It's the measure of man.
Would you good deeds as well dis
charge
Knowing they should ne'er te known
Content without mems praise at large
Conscious that the seed you'd sown?
IT'S the measure OF a man.
Would you your honor keep in mind
When at temptations door you're tried
With no ruling force behind
But to your conscience, only, tied?
It's the measure OF man.

OBSERVATIONS
Confined from page 5

no danger that Nebraska will be sighted
in the disposition Of patronage. 1t will
not be necessary to make trades or in
dulge in threats.
The bids received on the city refund
ing bonds were opened at the council
meeting last Monday evening. There
were three bids submitted, two Of which
were for currency bond, as provided
by the vote authorizing the issue. The
third and successful bid was for a gold
bond and came, as the successful bid
for municipal contracts has been in the
habit of coming, from Mr.. Elmer Steph-
enson. HIS bid provides for a gold bond
bearing Az per cent interest due in
twenty years and payable after ten. for
which he is to pay the city par and
accrued interest, The amount Of bonds
to be issued is to be determined by the
council. Mr.. Stephenson is to have four
months time ir which to complete his
contract and the contract contains a
stipulation that the council shall do
all things and pass all ordinances nec-
essary to make the issue of bonds regu-
lar and legal" Competent authorities
seem to think the council has big job
on its hands If it attempts to legalize
gold bond at this time. Under the
charter or under the vote of the people
it certainly cannot be done. SO that un
less Mr.. Stephenson is the proud pos
SCISSOR of customer who does not care
whether he is buying a legal bond or
not, the sale OF last Monday is of the
same farcical nature as the previous So
called sales OF the bonds have been.
Probably the matter will be submitted
to the people again at the spring cleo
ton
Mr.. Stephenson's contract provides
also for commission to him of y of
per cent on all bonds sold. This would
ohooht " ooout e-.sot vi
issue. just where the city will get the
money to pay this commission is not ex-
plaiped.-possibly Mr.. Stephenson in
tends to take a receipt for it as payment
on account Of balance due. The bid is
considered fairly good one although
the ten or twelve thousand dollars pro-
L. L.
most bidders without an additional com
mission from the city The trouble was
Mr.. Stephenson had no competitors, the
other bidders apparently not seeing the
philosophy of bidding for something
that was illegal on its face 1t remains
to be seen what Mr.. Stephenson will
be able to do with at he has bought.

How Diphtheria Spreads.

The city water supply has nothing to
do with the causation or spread of diph-
liberia, except, possibly, as a contami-
mated water affects the general health of
the individual and so lowers the resist
ing power of the system The increase
of disease every fall is due largely to
Catching cold, +" to vitiated air in
dwellings, caused by closing doors and
windows that have been kept open all
summer, and to similar causes that tend
to produce sensitive condition of the
throat, favorable to the growth of the
diphtheria germ. There should be added
to these causes the diminishing hours Of
sunlight as the year wanes. The direct
rays Of the sun kill the diphtheria germ,
but moisture and darkness favor its
growth and multiplication. Good house
wives, who open windows and shades to
the free access of sun and air, are prac-
tical sanitarians, fighting contagion and
infection with the hest and most potent
of all disinfactants Tha5 cats, poultry,
parrots AK some other of the lower ami
mails are sasceptible to diphtheria, and
often convey it to children and others, is
beyond question. TIE rules OF the I'LL
nois state board of health for the sup
preston and prevention Of diphtheria
have recognized this Gaat for years, and
direct the removal of birds and other
domestic pets and the exclusion Of cats
from the sickroom. The pEecsption is n
wise one, based upon observed facts, -

The celebration of last Christmas
will lingcr in the memories of at least
two of our young people for the rest
of their days. The occasion was the
marriage of Gilbert P. Hodges of
Minneapolis, to Miss Emily A. Lins-
ley, of Darnen, which took place at
the home of the brides parents. Rev.
Willett Of the M. E. church of this
city conducted the ceremonies. Miss
Linsley is a proposing and and charm
ing young lady, who had coutless
number of friends that will regret the
loss from their midst of their most
welcome companion. Mr.. Hodges is
a well-to-do and industrious young
man, and above all, exceeding lucky
in being SO fortunate as to win such
an amabfe young lady as his life part
ner. Congratulations were showered
on the happy couple by their many
friends, with whom the TRIBUNE
heartily joins, and hopes their lives
may be long and happy. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hodges will make their home in
Minneapolis.

Ex-President Harrison, in series Of
articles on "This Country Of Ours in
The Ladies' Home Journal, writes Wig
orously of the great necessity of the peo-
pie insisting upon the strict enforcement
of the laws. Directly upon this point he
says: "We need general assemblies OF
the people in the smaller civil subdivi-
sions, to be held regularly once or twice
a year, town meetings in which two
questions only shall be considered:
First, are the public officers faithfully
and honestly transacting the public bust
ness? Second, are the laws-not this law
nor that, but all laws-enforced and
obeyed? All questions of law reform
should be excluded, left to parties or So
cieties organized to promote them. The
enforcement of the law, whether we OPP
posed or aided the making of it; the
strict accountability Of public officers,
whether we opposed or aided their cleo
tion, should be the objects and the linn
it's Of these meetings There should be
no distinction of persons.
"Our law and order movements are
too apt to be confined to what we, not
too accurately, call influential people.
Every man and woman ought to have
chance to choose his side, without re-
gard to station or wealth or race or col
or. There will be none too many. In
some such movements it has seemed to
me that many have been assigned to the
wrong side who would have chosen the
right. There is danger that such may
accept the place they would not have
chosen. Can any working plan be de-
vised to maintain from day to day an
effective watchful interest among the
body of our citizens in the enforcement
of the laws, and in a clean, honest adj
ministration Of public atfairs--small
and great? Or are we to accept the hu-
initiating conclusion that bad things
cannot be made good, OF even better,
untik they come to be persistently and
utterly bad or still worse, that when
the river Of popular indignation has
cleaned the stable it is only 70 leave us
without asupply Of water for daily sani-
tation?''
