There Is talk OF railroad crossing
Audubon county from northeast to
southwest and passing through this
place. 1t is a Great Western line from
Manley Junction in Worth county to
Omaha, and is meant not only to give II
direct main line to Chicago but con-
nection to Port Arthur. We learn pros.
pectors have been in the county during
the past week. Such line would great
ly benefit Audubon county. Railroad
talk often happens that means nothing,
We are inclined to think there may be
something in this.

FEAST OF THE PASSOVER.
Its Observance Commenced Yesterday
Afternoon az Beth Ahaba.

The Feast OF the Passover commenced
yesterday evening at o'clock. It
is observed by the Jewish con-
gregation far and wide, At Beth Ahata
services were held yesterday evening at
6 o'clock and were Of an interesting and
impressive character. Rev. DIR. II. N.
Calisch delivered discourse appropriate
to the occasion, Services will be held
at Beth Ahaba again this morning at 1920
o'clock. next Tuesday evening at O'Clock
and on the following morning at 1870
O'clock.
The Passover is the spring festival OF
the Jewish religion and is commemora-
tive OF the departure of the Israelites from
Egypt. It's significance is mainly that OF
freedom. In a religious sense II Is en-
blematical OF the freedom Of the mind
being released from the thraldom of idol
airy.
According to the Hebrew calendar the
Passover falls on the 18th day OF the
month OF Nissan at eve. In reality the
observance is commanded by the 18th
day but Is begun on the evening OF the
18th day Of Nissan TO commemorate the
exceptional favor bestowed upon the
Israeltes at the time when the nrst-born
was slain throughout Egypt.
The festival is essentially one Of great
10y, but In no respect Is IL a demonstra-
tive one. for Israel never forgets its
sufferings just previous to its emanctpa-
ton. The festival lasts seven days dur
ing which those who observe II strictly
allow no leaven In the house. The sub
stitute for the bread Is the matzo, or IN
leavened cake. The first and seventh
DAYS are observed as more sacred than
the others. On these days all the syna-
gogues are open and special services held
suitable 10 the occasion,
IL has been an old established custom
on the first night for the heads OF lam
lies TO recite an account OF the Exodus
and the special customs relating TO this
festival. This recital which Is exceeding.
ly solemn is usually followed by feasl
and the chanting OF psaimS The oo)ec'
| OF this Is especially to keep the younger
generation informed as to the history OF
| their ancestors and 10 impress upon tnen
| the importance OF so regulating tneii
| lives that they may appreciate the vaiu'
| of liberty not only In It's religious sense
| but politically as wen. The pohtica
| sense Il regarded as important as the re.
