Ben Smith, of Fayette, Mo., pass- ed through town the first of the week on his;way over to Sprague, his former home, and while in the city gave the Times a pleasant call. He informed us that he would make ap- plication to Col Pace for a position at the penitentiary. Mr. Smith is a good accuuntant and if he secures a clerkship under Warden Pace it would be a gratification to his many friends in this section. Mayor Wycoff informs us that the financial condition of the city treas- ury is getting in good shape. A large amount of the outstanding debts have been liquidated and it is the intention of the city authorities to balance the books by March first. The treasury has now on hand about fifteen hundred dollars and the ad- ditional taxes remaming unpaid which the collector will get, the mayo: thinks there will be no deficit after the above date. We see from the Hume Telephone that Miss Mollie Foster,of that town, was seriously hurt Friday. She was returning to Hume from the coun try in a cart and near home the horse which she was driving took fright and ran away, arriving at tbe barn lot the animal jumped the fence taking the cart with it. The young lady was thrown out backwards cut- ting a severe gash in the back of her head from the effects of which she lay in an insensible condition until Saturday morning. The friends and neighbors of Col. Pace last week, irrespective of poli- tics, gave evidence of the high es- teem in which he is held by mak- ing him the strongest bond perhaps ever given in this county. Each of the three banks of the city were rep resented on his bond The value of the bond in real and personal property will*exceed one million dol- lars. The law requires forty thou- sand. Col. Pace expressed himself highly gratified at this token of con- fidence by his friends. Prof. W. G. Manly, Greek profes- sor at the State University at Colum, bia, was in the city Monday and Tuesday visiting our Academy and gave us a pleasant call. Prof. Manly’s mission is to visit the high schools in the different counties and endeav- or to persuade them to so arrange their course of instruction as to pre- pare pupils for the freshman class at the state university, which will en able that institution to abolish the | preparatory department. This will prevent the University from com- | peting with our high schools. A couple of tramps stole a muf- jfler from Mr. Gilbert's store and an _ overcoat off a dummy in front of |McKibbens.

Those who have read Dickens’ “Bleak House” in advance will have the eminent satisfaction of seeing it in its dramatized form presented by agreat actress and superb company at the opera house next Tuesday evenivg January 31. Quite a discussion 1s being carried on by morning and evening city pa- pers as to their relative importance aud benefits tosociety. Each excels in its own sphere and each is impor- tant and well nigh indespensible. So there is no need of quarreling between them Another searching party was down on the river yesterday looking for the lost child, which has been gone over two weeks. ‘ihe suspense is killmg the mother, and the neigh- bors are determined to leave nothing undone to discover the corpse, as it is now certain that the child is dead. The St. Clair Co Republican: The Osceola Sun, the oldest Democratic newspaper published in this county has suspended publication. Its last editor, S. E. Barber stated last week that without more support the paper would stop publication. The Sun had just entered its 16th volume but for several years past has been play- ing a losing game. The protracted meetirg which has been in progress at tke Christian church for the past two weeks, con- tinues with unabated interest, the building being packed at each ser- vice from pulpit to door with stand- ing room at a premium. Rev. Shrout the pastor has been conducting the services without assistance and from the interest manifested in his preaching seems to he equal to the occasion. Good order prevails and quite a number bave united with the church. N. M. Nestlerode, living at Vir- ginia, received a letter the 21st inst. from his parents, who reside at Bowen, Illinois, conveying the sad intelligence of the death of his brother John, who had died on the 18th, of quick consumption. He was 30 years of age, unmarried and made his home with his father and mother. The deceased formerly liyed in Bates county, and is well known by many of our citizens in the west part of the county. He was a young manj of good habits, and his father writes that he died in perfect peace and hope of a brighter and better home on the other side of the river. Mr. Nestlerode regretted he did not re- ceive word in time to attend the fu- neral. | Balk Garden Seed i in any quantity, is it not more satis- factory to see the seeds and buy} them in Butler.

Neb., Jan. 18.—A sensa- tion was produced today by the public statement of Dr. Somers, commissioner of health, that the ice now being stored by the various ice companies is impure and contains poisonous substances. This ice is being taken from Cut Off lake,a pool of water north of the city and near the Missouri river. It is alleged that it has no outlet and that it is a reservoir for the reception of filth dumped into it and carried into it by small creeks. The Iowa board of health recente ly condemned ice taken from Lake Manawa, whose waters are purer than those of Cut Off lake. Thou- sands of tons bave been harvested from the lake this year and it is ex- pected that the board of health will order that noue of this ice shall be This lfke has been used in former years for ice harvesting aud it is alleged that much sickness cin be traced direct ly to this source. sold to consumers.

The dance hall and card table s2em to be taking priority over the churches at Nevada. Anyhow the craze for these amusements and the ungodly condition of both saint and sinner of the town has called forth a long address from the ministers of the different churches of the city, a paragraph of which readsas follows: “Our society is almost wholly given up to two questionable worldly pleasures—-card-playing and dancing. | Whatever .nay be said about there | being no harm in dancing in itself jas when confined to the domestic j circle, the ball room with its late | hours, its style of dress and posi- | tions and its promiscuous company, | is regarded by all earnest religious \ people as no less injurious to spirit- ual life than te physical health. So with card-playing. Whatever may |be said about its innocence asa | pastime, when so much vigor and | time are put into it that it becomes | the absorbing interest, not only of the young but also of those of ma- ture years, when the incentive of a prize is added to muke the game ex- citing and sometimes the stimulus of the punch bow!, it becomes the | duty of the feligious teachers of the community to sound a note of warn- icg against these fruitful sources of evil. | Without, therefore insisting upon ; the most radical ground in regard ; to amusements, we ask if it is not | perfectly “evident to all candid per- | sons that more time and strength is ; put by Nevada society into card- playing and danciug than is consist. eut with an earnest christian life? Clubs formed for the purpose and maintained with more zeal than any religious institution in town, meet every week, sometimes seteral days in the week- Church members, neg- leetful of the Lord's house and the Lord's table, always answer to their uames at the roll call of the card ‘club. Even on the Lord’s day and {in the Lord’s house, you sometimes | hear glowing accounts of the last | ball or the last game and enthusias- ; tic anticipations of the next. Are “the thorns of worldly pleasure | choking the word?” Such facts and | many more that could be mentioned | abundently justity us, we think. in | charging our society with dangerous | j immoderation in the use.of worldly pleasure.” Children Cry for | Pitcher’s Castoria. i Children Cry f | Pitcher’s Castoria.. sd Children Cry for r’s Castoria. | Pitche
