A large delegation is expected from Omaha to attend the laying of the corner stone of the Catholic church to-morrow if the weather is favorable.

They should be raised out of the reach of water and then in wet weather pe- destrians will not be forced to go around upon thesod. ‘T'he grass along the walks has been killed out by the many feet which leave the muddy walks in times of rain and mud, ‘The funeral of Andrew Hooten was held yesterday afternoon and was quite largely attended considering the storm. The members of the volunteer fire de- partment attended in a body and the pall earers were selected from their ranks. Rev. Dr. McCreary was the ofliciating clergyman. Captain Anderson justifies himself in bringing the arrested " tishermen right by two of the nearest magistrates by saying that he was simply following the instruc- tions of the county attorney, who told him to bring ony whom he might arrest right to the county jail. 'I'he law is said to require the ofticer to take prisoners in such cases before the nearest magis- trate. It took three collections in one evening at the Salvation army meeting to get enough money to send away two new cadets, who now start out tor their field of work. The amount needed was only $8. Itseems that there must be muny narrow souls, hardly worth trymg to save. The hall is packed nightly, and those who go there do so because they {)I‘dlfl_‘ that place to others. If they be- ieve in the meetings, they should show their faith by their works. If they go simply to be entertained or amused, they should be as willing to pay for the enter- tainment as they are at other places. Free sulvation seems to be taken too lit- erally by a large proportion of those who go to the Salvation army hall, fodd iy J. G.

The Engineering News devotes an arti- cle in the current number to country roads, In many cases, it says, their con- dition is even worse than wlhen the stage- coaches and teams of Conestoga wagons of our grandsires’ day made some care of them a public necessity. What is wanted, it continues, 18 an engineer, se- lected under conditions that will insure his competency, fairly paid for his work, and clothen with power to enforce his plans, when any plans are to be carried out, and who will be personally respon- sible for the character of his own work and the soudness of his fudgment 1n de- ciding upon the merits of county struc- tures designed by other parties. , Any such ofticial powors in the hands of a competent engineer, and his pro- posed freedom from embarrassing rela- tions with—for such work—incompetent county ofticials, would be such a wide departure from present practico, that we cannot pretend to formulate a law upon this subject. That it would be desirable in the interest of good engineering, and true economy, even the most prejudiced cannot deny; that the initiative step must be taken by those who ultimately pay in taxes or in life for the blunders of the ignorant. Even the farmer consults his octor when sick in body, and his lawyer when his legal rights are being assailed, and never dreams of substituting one for the other or consulting himself. = Yet he seems to think that he or his neighbor an buld all the bridges, roads. ete., select the best plan from many of any proposed structure, and 1n fact do all the engineering work his neighborhood re- uires. That he does 1t now is often the fact; but that he does it well isopen to the gravest doubt. Evnr,}' county at least needs its fully recognized county engineer with whom the layman should be compelled to con- sult, and who should have power to act. When this is accomplished we can then, and only then, be considered as begin- ning to remove conditions that are now a national reproach, We admit that our country is new; that the government does not care for our highways as in Europe; that our counties are too poor to expend the sums required for good work, and that the proposed improve- ment upon present conditions is too vast an undertaking for any one generation, and that this improyement must neces- sarily be slow, But while admitting this, we also con- tend that under present control the ma- jority of our county governments, uspccinll{ the poor ones, waste much money by misdirected and ignorant attempts at well-doing; that the manual labor now expended 1s about as eflective in securing the end sought after, as would be transporting water in a sieve; and finally the sooner we commence to im- prove upon bad practice, and realize that our advance in other directions de- mauds immediate attention in this direc- tion, the better for all parties concerned. —— The attention of the public is culled to the advertisement in another column an- nouncing the opening sales of lots in two new towns on the Sioux City extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway: Hornick, Woodbury County, l\londny April 25th;: Charter Oak, Craw- ford County, Wednesday, April 27th, The towns are well loeated, and will make good openings for active business men. — Kecping His Promise to a Dying Girl. Essex Telegraph: Great excitement has been created in the neighborhood by the circumstances under which a dead body was recently wheeled on a hand cart from London to the village of Little Horkesley, a distance of more than fifty miles, The deceased was a young woman named Amey Carey Dansey. She was brought up by her grandfather and randmother at their home at Little orkesley,and when old enough wentout to service. Sometime ago she was at- tacked by consumption, and rapidly owing ~ worse, Wwas removed to rompton hospital, where she died early in the present month., Amon those who had constantly visited the gir! while she was in the hospital were her mother and her stgofather, Joseph Bell, living in London.” In answer to her oft repeated desire to be buried in Little Horkesley churchyard, Ball had assured her that she should be buried there; but as the event proved, the promise was not easy to fulfill. Being a ~ cabinetmaker, Ball was able to make the coftin himself; but the question of the conveyance of the body to Little ~ Horkesley presented great difficulties. In consequence of an accident, Ball bad for nineteen weeks been out of work, and, having a family dependent on him, | was in considerable striits. le ascer- tained that if the coflin were removed by rail to Colchester, and thence to Little Il ley,the cost would be £4 25, which was more than he could afford, but he remembered his promise,and determined to wheel the body down by road. On the Sunday eve following the girl's death he had finished the coflin, and hav- ing obtained a certificate from the regis- trar,he placed the coffin on his handeart, and went to fetch the body from the hospital, At first the hospital authorities refused to let him haye it, but were reas- sured, and gave their consent. — He took away the body at 9:30 that mght, and by 5:30 next morning was on the road to Colchester, Bali thus relates the story of his jour- ney: “I wheeled the body on the handeart, and I brought my second_little boy with me, aged about ten. He rode on the coftin down hill and on the level road, but when we had to go up hill he helped to push a little, beeause I was so weak and ill. The first day I put up two miles short of Ingatestone, at aninn. On the night of the second day 1 reached Wit- ham, and put up at the Swan. T'wo men came to e :mnl] wanted to know wh had got in the coflin. he was a detect mand to look me your w could” not a bother, and he would have forced open the cofling but my ister lways stronger than the devi ave me strength to struggle with the man and put him out of the house. 1 then sent my ittle boy for a policeman, and then the row was over, The inspector of police afterward eame and took my name and address; and I'showed him the certificate of death and answered all Ins inquiries satisfactorily and truthfully Xt morn- ing 1 started about half past and ar- rived at little Horkesley just after 6 on Wednesday night ‘The body was duly buried next day, and the newly made grave was decked with tlowers. “*Dead Shot” for Bed Bug: Dutcher’s Improved kills upon touch, and remains a trap to cateh intruders.

Carroll County (Mo.,) Correspondent Globe-Democrat: — Perbaps there is no other county in the United States that can make as remarkable a showing of living children, in one family, as the Minnis famly of Carroll county Of this family of brothers and there are seven survivors, wh bined age is 445 years, and who between the ages of sixty and seve years, us follows: Charles, sixty-nine; ohn, sixty-eight; Jane (Graham) sixty- ix; James, sixty-five; Warren, sixty-four; h (Braden), sixty-two; Robert, sixty. These children came to Carroll county with their parents (Thomas and Pamela Minnis) from Tennessee fifty-four years ago, and all except two are still residents of this county, and are among its most respected and trustworthy citizens, s e e The huge, drastic, griping, sickening pills are fast being superseded by Dr. Pieree’s “'Puragative Pellets.”” Sold by druggists.

Baltimore Sun: Looking over the side we sce the first evidence of our approach to the flowery kingdom, for we are surrounded by sampans manned by Chinese oarsmen. These boats are short and flat-bottomed, with the bow looking like the snout of an alligator and the stern rounding up into two curved spars in the same fashion as the handles of a baby-carriage. The boatmen stand up and propel them by pushing the oars, the handles of which they cross in front of them. These boats are generally painted in bright colors, and always have a large eye painted on each bow. " If you ask a boatman why those eyes are there he will answer you: *“No hab eye, how can see ? No cansee, how can sabez? No can sal ow can do?” The boat- men don't wear much clothing, but they make up for suchlack by wearing a cone- shaped hat from two to three feetin diameter. —————— Burdett's Books and Lectures.
