unchanged as possible, and the vault,
containing the marble sarcOphagi of
George and his wife Martha, near the
mansion, is likewise an object OF their
ever vigilant attention and rever-

A MOLLYCODDLE BALL.-A Molly
coddle ball was held in Cleveland,
Ohio, on the night of the 18th inst.
What prompted the name is not stat
ed, but it is noted that the President
was invited and not only ignored the
invitation but failed to attend, and
just because he snubbed them, the
mollycoddles turned his pictures
six of them used to decorate the
hall-every one to the wall. They
said they were sore at the President
on general principles anyway. Those
who received invitations to the molly
cOddle ball did not know whether to
be pleased or merely vexed. Some
of the men thus honored said the
idea was insulting, and the horrid
brutes attended, anyhow.

OBJECTS TO BEING CHOKED OFF

Davis, member of the Board of
Control, is about to bring mandamus
proceedings to compel the State Au-
ditor to pay his salary on a $1,000
basis instead of $1,000, the old rate.
The Attorney General advised against
allowing an increase to all incum-
bents of public Office whose salaries
had been raised during their term of
office, and it is to override this opin-
ion that test is to be made. 1t does
seem an outrage that a public officer
cannot enjoy the increased emolu-
ments of Office he has so studiously
and persistently aided in creating.

MARK TWAIN ENTERTAINED BY
ROYALTY.-Mark Twain lately hob
nobbed with King Edward and seems
to have taken the court by storm as
an established wit, but when the &C
counts state that the Queen seemed
to think that the elimination of hui
NOR was in a proposition he made to
buy Windsor castle from her majesty,
we can see at once the idea that the
phlegmatic Englishmen have of wit.
But then, it must be very trying for
a funny man to be always funny, or
able to say funny things to order.
So proposition to buy seems to have
been regarded as a grand sell" on
somebody, but just who it will take
a cOckney to tell.

HOME AGAIN.
Judge Millett Gives Some Account of a Late
Visit to His Former Home.

In compliance with a request of the
STANDARD for an account of his trip
to Columbus, Nebraska, on a visit of
love to his aged mother, the Judge
has kindly furnished the following:
About my recent visit at Column
bus, Nebraska, which was my form
or home where my aged mother now
resides, who has passed the four
score mark, many pleasant memories
cluster, and ! cheerfully accede to
your request.
That tiourishing little city. con
tanning about 5000 inhabitants. is
located in the midst of rich agri-
cultural section. All of the side
walks are made of brick or concrete.
The place contains many fine houses,
with good sprinkling of retired
farmers The average value of lands
is 800 per acre. Many farmers de
cline to sell at any price. as their
holdings net them good and safe in
come. The merchants seemed to be
doing well. The streets on which
business houses are located are well
occupied with pedestrians, wagons
and carriages on Saturdays. and
when public occasions call people to-
gcther from the surrounding coun-
try. The band furnishes excellent
music once i week, from the stand
located at the principal park in the
city.
This locality was afflicted with a
late spring, similar to Western
Washington in that respect. | found
the weather during my short stay
somewhat cold and damp. The corn
and wheat, from the accounts furn-
ished me, will doubtless yield good
returns, providing the weather shall
be favorable from now ON.
The price of lumber is almost pro
hibtory. | heard it remarked by
competent parties on different occa-
sions, that the point had been reached
when other building material had
become Il necessity in Nebraska. 1t
is claimed the material and substances
are there with which suitable con-
crete buildings may be constructed.
Brick has long been used for such
purposes. Columbus and other cities
of Nebraska contain numerous fine
brick blocks and residences, which
tend to show that the country is
prosperous and progressive.
The STANDARD is appreciated in
that far-off country Luc +. Yer
mons articles are regarded with con-
siderable favor. When | heard the
favorable comments concerning your
paper, was led to believe there
could some good thing come out Of
Nazareth, and think there will be
many other good things. if W" only
exercise patience, for Rome was not
built in day. and it took time to
make Athens great.
Yours respectfully,
BYRON MILLETT.

the highest civilization this Earth

the dOwntrodden and oppressed OF
every CLINE and every race; the
hottest blood that ever flows from
human veins has been shed to place
it over the most magnificent country

danger of this feeling being carried
too far, for no woman or man can
love that country and its flag too
well. But it seems that there are
some of the descendants of the hate

surely none but they could refuse to

done in the way of saving the costly
machinery, as the town is without
fire appliances ard the great heat
prevented near approach. The mill
had just been furnished with two
new planners, and the plant was ca
pablo of cutting 45, 600 feet of lumber
per day. Between two and three
million feet of lumber were likewise
consumed. The loss is estimated at
from $50, 1000 to 5000 The Ment-
