Once Again..

There are but very few yards in
town now that have not been cleaned
Of the winters accumulation OF trash
and doubtless the owners will do their
duty this week. Road Supervisor
Russell expects to begin work this MORN
ing and We hope that all yards will be
cleaned in advance OF his work on the
streets. Lawns and gardens are receiv-
ing attention, trees are being trimmed
and in general the spirit of improve
ment is in the air. Let the good work
continue until we can all feel that we
have done a share to make u pretty
village prettier and have taken the
needed measures to keep the sanitary
condition OF the town at a high standard.

An Cffer.

If the Olinghouse Canyon miners will
get together and contribute for the
time required such a meritorious exhibit
of ore and specimens as we know can be
gathered up for the Omaha exposition,
the DISPATCH will write up every claim
in the district and furnish for distribut-
ion at the exposition gratis 10000 copies
OF the write up. n. A. Hummel ON his
way to the Supreme Lodge Knights of
Pythias will also agree to spend one
week at Omaha with the exhibit and
answer all inquiries made by visitors in
regard to the exhibit and the district.
The exhibit, ii the miners and claim
owners decide to make one, must be in
before May LIST. The specimens will
have the best of care and will be rturn-
ed. We think the DISPATCH offers in the
above to do its share.

The Fire Department.

y. \. Hammel attended the meeting
oil the Board 81 County Commissioners
Monday in the interest OF the Wads-
worth Fire Department and met with
uniform courtesty at the hands OF the
county officers in looking up data
required under the law to make a levy
of the small special tax asked by Wads-
worth for the maintenance OF the Fire
Department. A general statute
applicable tn u~nincorporled towns fixed
the legality OF the matter, and the
provisions OF the statute having been
complied with Dist. Attorney Julien
prepared the papers, they were intro
duced by Mr.. Hymers and an order for
a lew OF i've cents on the hundred
dollars for the purpose mentioned was
passed unanimously. Thus our average
taxpayer will contribute 20 cent? to the
Wadsworsh fire fund, some more and
others less. At the next session OF the
legislature all evils will be remedied.
And SO we should all be happy. With
ar agreement drawn up and signed by
our Main street business men to have
all trash carted sway once a week and
to perform all other covenants agreed to
be performed at the now memorable
meeting, much good shall have been ac-
compllshed and the risk OF fire greatly
lessened. The universal sentiment is a
cheerful compliance with measures that
are for our common good.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the cal. There is only one
way TO cure Deafness, and that is by c~onstitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by cataITh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hunered Dollars for any
case of deafness tcaused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Senator Stewart on Star-ROutes

Pursuant to Senator Stewards resolu-
ton the Postmaster ieneral has 1ur-
nisbed sorle information in a table
showing contractor and routes to the
Senate regarding star-route contracts.
Tie Silver Knight Watclna says.
The table shows that a few mel got
a great many contracts. o one man
could obtain All routes by fairly under
bidding other competitors on all OF them
may ALWAYS remain Il mystery, but we
have "a grave suspicion that the persons
in the foregoing list that received large
numbers of contracts had facilities for
knowing what others bid not possessed
by the general public. The report states
that there were 10000 routes sub-let.
If only the moderate sun OF 5000 was
made on each route the aggregate profit
to the contractors would bave been $1O,-
900 900. Ii only 500 a route was made
the friends of the officials in the depart
ment would be able to pocket the neat
little sun of 81, 000, 900. We hope this
r~ascally business will be investigated,
and the parties implicated exposed.

Pertinent Religious Comments.
VIEWS OF CHRIST.

Superficial views as to the charamter
and mission of Jesus Christ in particular
have always been circulated by interested
parties since Christ cameto earth" says
the New York Observer (Pres.). Many
of the Jews of His own time would not al
low that Jesus was even prophet anu
some of the radical preachers OF the pre-
sent day, who obtain notoriety greater
than they deserve, blindly fail TO see lia'
He is more than a prophet. oeLeSe

tyrs, the true, faithful men In every age

and service of their fellow men These
words have a false ring. If Jesus were
no more than this He would not be a
Christ who could save u.s. and if He could
not save us, it would not be worth our
while to know Him. For deep down IN
our inmost souls we know, men gener-
ally know, that humanity is not right with
God as it is, and that a salvation, ade-
uuate and sure, is a need. To deny TINS
is to fall to penetrate beneath themere
surface of human life. And, in the EFFORT
to solve this problem, to lump in Christian
ity with all other faiths that have any
where been taught at any time, IS the
mark not of clear, but of a confused
intellect"

CHANGE IN RELIGION.

Professionalism, the world over, is in
state of f1ux and change" says the Chris
tian Register (Unit.) of Boston. Its theo~
logical system is like huge castle wall,
undermined by running waters. The
watchmen point complacently to the mas
sive masonry, while yet a solemn voice
is declaring, There shall not be one stone
left upon another Meanwhile the pro-
cess of reconstruction goes forward with
Vigor and the reconciliation of reason
and faith is slowly accomplishing itself in
every seminary, parsonage and Bible class
as we'll as among the more intelligent la
ity. The creeds of Augsburg, Geneva,
bort and Westminster are no longer OBJ
jects of attack or defense; they are grass
grown earthworks, on which old and bro
ken gun carriages are Wondering to dust
But the larger thought of Cod with the
union of the divine and human, as illus
trated in Jesus for mankind, is working
widely and nightly to subdue all things
to itself. 1t would be a mistake to Judge
the present religious situation by surface
facts and external activities. There are
powerful undercurrents, felt alike in
church and state. reporting their tenden-
cies in social agitations and aspirations,
in literature, art and science, which in
dictate broad sweep of modern life away

OF CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

Colonel Higginson, in an article in
this weeks Ylarper's Bazaar. apropos of
the indiscriminate giving of Christmas
presents, says:
"All through the land the plaintive
notes of the victims Of Christmas are
proceeding from darkened bedrooms
and from sofa pillows in otherwise
hushed boudoirs. vainly calling upon an
aggrieved people, and especially upon
ma exhausted sex, to come back to the
paths of reason and moderation. 1t is
not because Christmas dinner. for that
is long since digested, well or i'll, but
it is the result of a far more prolonged
and less remediable class of symptoms,
all coming from one cause, the abuse
of the kindly practice Of Christmas pre-
sents. When we see the vast labor that
has came to be bestowed on these. and
the long catalogue of ills that follow,
one is tempted to wish that chimneys
could be made Santa Claus-proof, as
they are already made rat-proof: and
one almost svmpathizes with good old
Samuel Sewa1I, who resisted the very
introduction Of Christmas festivities,
and expresses his rejoicing in his diary:
The shops were open. and carts came
to town with wood. hoop poles, hay,
etc. as at other times. Being a pleas
ant day the street was filed with carts
and horses Q722''

THE NINEvEH TABLETS.

1.-THE hoistory of George Smith Of fun
poetical account of the Deluge, on tablets
in King Asurbanipars library at Nineveh,
was of immense interest" says the New
York Independent, but it did not assure
US of the age of the diluge story among
the inhabitants of the Euphrates valley;
for it was on tablets written in Asurban-
ipaFs reign-that is, scarce 600 years be-
fore Christ. To be sure, these were said
to be copied from tablets in Babylonian
libraries, but we do not konw how old
these original tablets were. Besides, the
deluge story was on the 11th tablet in
long poem, pompiled in II books, one for
eac hmonth, in quite artificial way, and
might belong to a comparatively late per-
iod of religious and literary syncretism.
The original Babylonian tablets, from
which the Assyrian copies were made,
were much desired. Now Pere Scheil has
made the discovery. To be sure the record
on the tablets does not amount to much,
it is such fragmentary bit; but 1t is
large enough to make it sure that the
tablets contained the story of the deluge;
and, most fortunately, the most import
ant part of all is preserved, the colophon,
with the date It is dated in the reign of
Ammizaduga king of Babylon; and we
know that he reigned about 2149 B. G.
That is we have here a precious bit of
clay on which was written a poetical
story of the deluge, seven centuries before
Moses and about the time of Isaac or ia
cob. That is enough to make the discovery
memorable We learn positively that the
story of the deluge was familiar to the
common people of Babylonia, and there
fore of all the east from Syria to Persia"

HARPER'S ON KANSAS.

making q tour through the states OF

been sincere and thorough. AS he says
in his first paper on Kansas: "One can
form a correct opinion Of Kansas and
it's people better by going to the state
and by speaking with its farmers. its
store keepers, its business men, its Of
ficials and it's professional men, than
in any other way. 1t was for this pur-
pose that in December last visited the
state, and in this and other articles to
follow the exact truth about Kansas
and other western states is to be told,
as it was learned after diligent investi-
