always on the county board is men that
you cannot "pass the hand through;
men who will do what they think is

neither domineer over others, nor are
domineered by others, and such is John
Wiggins.

Gus. G. Becher, as guardian of Willie
Sauer, has sent him to Chicago, where
he can live with his brothers Gus. and
Max, and attend school. He had been
attending commercial school at Omaha,

Omaha Saturday. Willie will be remem-
bered by JOURNAL readers as the boy

good positions at Chicago, and Willie
will have q better opportunity for
progress than the great multitude Of
lads generally.
