a new court house site.

ty is the west half OF block SO, fac
ing On REIMBURSEMENT street and
Second avenue, north.
The property conveyed costs the
county $3.50, but out Of this sum TIE
county purchases two small buildings
on the site that will probably sell for
$1,000.
Several months ago the board of
county commissioners authorized its
chairman, Mr.. Parker, and the county
clerk, Mr.. Carwile, to select a suitable
| site and report to the board for ap.
prevail. several sites were offered.
but the one selected appeared to be,
in the opinion of the commissioners,
the most suitable.

Alleged Safe Robber Supposedly Un'
der Arrest There.


From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
It would seem that the man who
robbed the safe of the Oak saloon, a
few days ago, is under arrest at Oma-
ha. Yesterday Sheriff Hubbard re-
ceived a dispatch from the chief of
police of that city asking him if he
wanted Harry knox for robbing Lee &
Lindsay of this city. AS the county
attorney was absent from the city
Mr.. Hubbard declined to act in the
matter further than to wire back to
hold the man until further orders, not
knowing whether the county cared
to u the expense OF bringing
him back and prosecuting him.
Just how Omaha authorities knew
that Knox had committed the offense
charged against him is not known, as
the sheriff did not send any dispatches
in that direction to look out for the
man, as at the time Of his disappear
ance it was believed he had gone west
and the authorities at Butte and Hell
ena were notified. 1t is believed, how
ever, that a couple Of men who left
for Omaha the day after Knox dis
appeared saw him there and notified
the police. q

Back.
From thursdays Daily Gazette.
Harry Knox, the man charged with
having robbed the safe of the Oak sa-
loon, sometime last week, will not
be tried for his offense and Sheriff
Hubbard has wired the Omaha police
to release their prisoner.
At a conference between the county
commissioners and county attorney,
held yesterday, it was decided not to
incur the expense of bringing Knox
back for trial and the sheriff was so
informed. IL was then that he tele-
graphed instructions to the Omaha
authorities to turn Knox loose.
Several dispatches were received
from Chief Donohue by Mr. Hubbard
in regard to the man. In one Of them
it was stated that Knox had confessed
his guilt. On the strength of this the
sheriff offered to go after the prisoner
il his actual expenses of the triE
were paid, agreeing to waive his right
to mileage. The commissioners and
attorney, however, concluded not te
take any action and Mr.. Hubbard's of
fer was declined.

THE CHILD'S FESTIVAL.
There Is Special Significance In Christ
 mas for the Little Ones.

The true Children's day is Christmas. The Lord of the feast was a child in Bethlehem, and He still loves little children as He did when, in the strength of His manhood, He took them in His arms and blessed them. If there were no children in our world to receive and enjoy, the advent time would lose much of its beauty and delight. The child's imagination, which transforms com monplace things, the ehild's receptivity, which does not stop to question, but enjoys these reflect themselves upon our minds and bring us for the moment into the child like mood of happiness. Nor is the child's thought of happiness simply one of getting. Neither the gift nor the surprise of the gift, dear as these are to the child's heart, brings as much pleasure as the planning and the giving. The best of Christmas is enjoyed before ever Christmas comes. We older ones need to be reminded every year that love is more than elaboration at the Christmas time, and that the value of the gift is meas ured by the affection of the giver; but un- spoiled children know it and act upon it, as if there could be no doubt of 1t at all, and we would all be happier at Christmas if we were to learn of them. Then would the Christmas burden, of which so many are complaining, turn to pure delight.-Congre- gationalist

THE NIGHT FORE CHRISTMAS.
Blu JOE LINCOLN.

Most gen'rally at eight o'clock I go up
 stairs to bed, An jes undress an say my prayers an
 cover up my head, An shut my eyes up good tlSht an go 10
 sleep, an then First thing know it's mornin', an time to ' git up again. Some nights, CT course, don't seem so short,
 like fore the Fourth, yer know. Or fore feller's birthday, or the night
 jes' fore yer go To visit gran'pa-oh, my. yes! theyr re
 kinder long, but, gee! The night that comes fore Chris mus is a
 million years to me. Seems's if December, anyway, s the long,
 est month they Is; The months that's in the summer, why,
 they go so fast they whiz, But old December crawls along, so kinder
 slow and late That Chris'mus keeps so far away seems
 s If you couldn't wait. An when yer've marked off all the days
 but one, an that's most through. An yer've hanged up yer stockin' right
 'Iongside the chimney fiue, An said Good night" an gone upstairs,
 my, don't the minutes creep Cause when he knows it's Chris'mus eve
 no boy can go to sleep. Yer hear the old hall clock tick tock" an
 hear the wind, so low An kinder soft an lonesome like, jes s
 If twas goin' to snow; An then yer wonder if 1t will, so's yer can
 slide next day, An then yer think bout Santy an his rein-
 deer, an his sleigh. Yer wonder what he'll bring yer, an yer
 wonder how he guessed Yer wanted skates las Chris mus an a
 bowgun an the rest; An then yer try to git to sleep, an then,
 course, yer don't, . An then yer say: "Well, you jes' will"
 an then, CT course, yer won't I s'pose it must be right but. oh. some
 times 1t does seem wrong That that one night boys wants so short
 should be so extra long; I've tried to think out why 1t Is, but all
 the 'scuse I've found Is that it's long so Santy he'll have time
 to git around. But I know this, I'm mighty glad I ain t

SOME UNBIASED OPINIONS.

It is not always the biggest stocking that contains the costliest present.
 When girl is caught under the mistletoe she always pretends that she had forgotten it was there.
 A woman always likes man better if the gloves he sends her are about two sizes too small
 A woman declares she is delighted with her presents, but she never fails to look at the price marks on them.
 If the stone is small and cheap it is per haps just as we'll to put girls engagement ring in her stocking.
 It always makes a woman sad if her hus- band hasn't bought something for her that she is afraid they really oughtn't to afford. Chicago Times Herald.

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF.
He Made Good Resolution But IL Didn't
 Last Veru Long.

One year ago, according to the Youths Companion, Mir. Billings settled himself comfortably in his favorte chair beside the stove in the grocery store, and returned the neighborly greetings of the other regular attendants.
 "Yes," he said, meditatively, "ths is the last night of the old year. Somethin' kind O solemn bout it, too, when ye stop to think of it. A year past an gone, an a new one-mebbe the last some of us'll ever see just beginnin'. It makes a man feel se- rious People laugh bout New Years reso- lutions, but l maintain it's a good thing for man to pull up now an then an start fresh; an the first of the year seems the most natural an fttin' time to do it."
 Maxim any res'lutions yourself, 'Lisha l" asked Nathan Hobbs, good -naturedly.
 "Yes, sir, am!" replied Elisha, defiant ly. 'Pm maxim one, anyway, an don't care who knows it. I'm resolvin' to keep a better hold on my temper this year. He that ruleth his spirit is better than he that taketh city, the Book says. I've had my failin's that way, as some of ye know; but now we're beginnin' new year an new century, too, I'm goin' to turn over a new leaf''
 What was that you said bout new century," asked old Eben Cook, from his seat in the corner.

Many person has got kicked for looking 6 gift horse in the mouth.
 The average Christmas slipper is about the worst thing that man can put his foot into.
 Doing business without advertising is aboat the same as for pretty girl to hang up her mistletoe and then neglect to stand under it.
 While it is always commendable to make useful presents, don't give man a bottle of whisky just because it is well known that he uses it.
 When you are careful not to let your little boy have anything noisy for Christmas there is sure to be some kind friend who will give him drum and whistle-Judge.
