If you play ball or run horses on the Sabbath hereafter you do it at- the peril of your reputation and pocket-book Mr. George Hook accompanied by Mr. Ham Washmund took in the Marysville, Centralis ball game Tuesday at Seneca. Mr. J.

N. McMillen started for Balti more, for a visit Wednes day. He will also stop at Accident, Md. for a short time. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr, Granger of the Centralia Journal and Mr.

Al. Nash, of the Axtell Anchor at Seneca Tuesday. Miss Abbie Steele, after visit of two months' with Kansas friends, started for her home in Geneseo, 111., last Monday, Her many friends made while in Sabetha regret her departure and hope to meet her again at no distant day. The Iowa hone thief arrested in Sene ca last week was taken back for trial on Monday last. The Sheriff and prisoner were on the morning train, and the lat ter, though heavily ironed, seemed twice as happy as his keeper.

Such is life. To many of our town people Sabetha never seemed so quiet as at present and this was hard to account for until we realize that little Dennie Frame's form is a Sabetha feature no morel He departed this life, for Hiawatha, some ten days ago. Poor Hiawatha. As announced by posters the Verdon City base ball club will play here to morrow, Friday, and a good game is looked for. This club is perhaps the strongest that has played here this sea son and our citizens should support the Nemahas by a good attendance.

P. W. Meemer was among the callers at The Herald office last Saturday last. He has just returned from a trip through Iowa and eastern Nebraska, and reports that the corn along the Missouri river looks better than it has for years and that a large crop is now a certainty. The Seneca club was defeated by the score of 10 to 5 Tuesday morning by the Centralia club.

In the afternoon the the Marysville "News" nine took the Centralia "Beds" into camp to the tone of 10 to 8. Which is the champion club of Northern Kansas is now an open question. Mr. J. H.

Campbell, wife and daughter Fanny returned from visiting in Illinois and Iowa, last Tuesday. Mr. Campbell reports that great damage is being done crops by grasshoppers, many fields being two-thirds destroyed already. Kansas, it seems, is not always among the unfortunates. The concert at the M.

E. church last Tuesday evening, under the management of Prof. Harris of the Dunham Concert was given to a large, enthusiastic and appreciative The selec tions were the of best, and well rendered, eliciting applause and provoking merriment, especially the "whistling chorus." Sam. Ward, of Oneida, called on us last Saturday and extended to as a very pressing invitation to call, whenever we should visit Oneida, and see the cui-osities" at his "hen farm." Sam says he has recently purchased a monstrosity in the shape of a "six-legged pig of a man living south of Sabetha. This last, when "combined under one tent" with his "eight-legged calf," "one-eyed duck," "two-beaded ben," will make one of the rarest( 7) collections to be seen in America, outside of New York City.

Yes, Sam, we'll call. A young married man who is better posted with regard to base ball accour-terments, than female harness, was sent to a store a few evenings since to buy his wife a bustle. The yo nng lady clerk who was waiting on him brought out the latest style in artificial hump when the gentleman became somewhat indignant and asserted with emphasis that his wife was not a catcher for a base ball club, and did not wish a mask. It was sometime before he was convinced that bustles and masks now-a-days were shaped on the same block. J.

F. Wheelock the only original Honest John" came up to The Herald office last Friday to kill us for something published about him a year or so ago. We denied the alligations, but Saturday, when the alligator himself opened his wagon and also that mouth directly under our window, we, with malice of forethought, sharpened the editorial scissors to give him a dig under the fifth rib, now that we think of it, we are only sorry we did not say something mean about him "a year or so ago," but we will leave that to those who were taken into the secrets of the "Cheap John trade. Among several pleasant social affairs of the past week none exceeded in pleas-ore the evening party given by Mrs. J.

M. Swearingen in honor of her guest, Miss Swearengen, a sister of J. M. The evening was spent in social talk and repartee and interspersed with several adventures which ye scribe being present is not at liberty to divnlge. Refreshments were, served and ample justice done the eatables.

Miss Flora expects soon to bid her Sabetha relatives and frienps farwell and return to her eastern home greatly to the regret of many new found acquaintances. We almost used the stronger term of friend(s)," which we suspect is more nearly correct. It seems that the political nature of the address by the traveling third-party evangelist, Miss Jennie Newby, at Hiawatha some weeks ago has created quite a stir among the Baptist brethren in whose synagogue she delivered her harangue. In fact, Mrs. B.

C. Chase considers it of sufficient importance to publish a card from the W. C. T. U.

expressing their surprise at the political turn of her remarks. The following it a brief extract from the Hiawatha W. C. T. TJ.

card published in last week's World: No one was more surprised than was our W. C. T. myself in particular, at the character and object of the lecture recenly delivered here, by Miss Newby. Had we known that her intent was political, I certainly should not have written the voucher as I did, but would have plainly stated the whole truth.

The en-gaeement was made for Miss Newby wiiiie I was absent, as far as I can learn no one of the union dreamed that she was coming here under any other auspice than the State W. C. T. TJ. as an organizer of.

the work among young womea." It stems that the work of Miss Newby a i to organize a third party does t' approval of that -siskin, the W.C.T.U. Mean, has received the appointment as mail agent to succeed Frank J. Behm resigned, and we understand several Seneca BourbonB are left lamenting. Do not forget the big attraction for Children's Day at the Sabetha District Fair. Rev.

Robert Laird Collyer as orator and Mrs. E. P. Allerton for poet, Be sure and remember the date, Tuesday September 22nd. Please give notice in your paper that we are not unmindful of the kind sym pathy shown us in our bereavement in the loss of our little daughter, Glennie, who died, August 3, 1885.

The annual school meeting'of Dist. 51 Brown and Nemaha counties, was held at Sabetha, August 8th, '85. In the ab sence of the Director, J. F. Clough, Wm Graham was made chairman.

Minutes of last meetings read and approved, Reports of treasurer, C. Branigan and Diet, clerk, Slosson, read and approved. On motion proceeded to vote for district clerk. The balloting to be limited to 4 o'clock p. m.

The vote stood as follows: Ira F. Collins 20 Mrs. O. Fountain 18 Sam Slosson 84, Slosson declared elected. On motion county uniformity ot text books was car ried.

On motion one per cent was levied for teachers taxes, and six mills for incidental puposes. Adjourned. S. Slosson, Clerk Quite a local excitement was raised by the report that many of our base ballists and several business men were to be arrested for playing ball and horse racing last Sunday. How true the report is we are unable to learn but from the anxiety in certain quarters, needless to mention we judge that there is some probability that the horse racing fraternity will at least recieve the just penalty imposed by law for this misdemeanor.

It is all very well to restrain the too sportive sport from ball playing and horse racing on Sunday, but if some of the sticklers for Sunday observance would be a little more particular on week days themsel ves it would be well. This is intended for you reader, if it hits you. A Pleasant Surprise. On Thursday evenjaig, Aug. 13, the family peace and quietude of Mr.

Oar Exchanges. IHlawatha Democrat O. T. Hulburd is building elevators at Manly and Berlin, and Axtell and Beattie, in order to be able to han dle the large corn crop which is now sure thing in these localities. Robt.

W. Peach, of Butler was in town on Monday on bis way to Seneca, where he has secured a position as local editor of the Courier-Democrat. "If we mistake not, Mr. Peach will be a valu able acquisition to that sheet. While in Sabetha, recently, we saw wonderful living curiosity, something that has not been seen in this country (only very Beldom) for twenty-four years and something that is even yet a little rare.

It is a curiosity, however, that we hope and expect to see more numerous in the near futdre, and scattered to such a thickness that even the most timid women and children will get fa miliar with seeing it and be not afraid, This unusually excellent and unclimated cariosity, is not homely, bat was, to as at least, a pleasant and lovely looking object. We believe it will grow and prosper in this country, and soon get acclimated. The citizens of Nemaha and Brown counties are getting acquainted with it, and even like it; in fact it is get ting to be a favorite and pet the ladies especially admire it. This curiosity, whith so attracted our attention, was a democratic postmaster. Did you ever one? Mr.

J. Leslie, of Manning, Carroll county, Iowa, arrived here a few dayi ago, following a horse thief. The thief had been spotted by Marshal Hunter and Hank King, and Mr. Leslie, in com pany with the latter look up the trail and at Woodlawn, Nemaha connty, found the horse where it had been traded to Mr. Challis.

They went from there to Seneca, where they captured their man shortly after he had sold the horse he had obtained from Mr. Challis, He was placed in jail at Seneca awaiting requisi tion paper, Mr. Leslie retur ned here to look after another horse that the thief brought here last spring and sold, after laying around here a week to Harry Baker. Marshal Hunter bad previously found the mare, from a description fur nished by Mr, Leslie. She was mortgaged property, and the thief claimed that the owner had hired him to run her off.

The same thief, whose name is Le- roy McEnteroff, brought another horse through here two years ago, which was taken farther west and disposed of. His horse thieving operations are probably ended for a term of years. Hiawatha World. Mr. Bronson says the weight of the tower of the new Methodist church is about 200 tons.

It is a solid piece of masonry. The Farmer's bank of Morrill, Brown county, filed its charter with the secretary of the state at Topeka on Mon day.

T.

Roberts, T. J. Elliot, Jacob Gritchy, John Fletcher, A. Moorhead, Charles H. Janes, F.

Spaulding and W. Brock hoff. While the family of W. S. Brown were returning home on Saturday, and just as they were about crossiag the St.

Joe Western track, south of town, a train came thundering raund the curve. Mr. Brown noticed it in time to stop the horses, the family having barely enough time to vacate the carriage until the train was upon tnem. The horses by a sadden turn, saved themselves, but the carrige was demolised. It was a very narrow escape for Mr.

Brown and fam ily. Centralia Journal. Mr. A. N.

Baker came over from Sa betha yesterday, and brought two of his 'Alp" pups with him which he sold to A. J. Birchfieid and H. Warner. Mr.

L. Bobinson returned from the county normal at Marysville last week out of 121 teachers who applied for cer tificates in Marshall county only 57 re ceived them. Twelve applied for first grade, but only four were successful, Mr, Robinson being one of the number. Rev. Locke went to see his parents at his home in Illinois, last Mon day.

He will be absent about three weeks. We don't know, but we suspect he is going to bring an assistant back with him. In other words, he will prob ably be Locke-d hand in had with a bet ter half. May success follow him, even if our guess should not be right. Marysville Democrat Tho whiskey cases came up before Squire Newton at Beattie last Tuesday, Only fifty-seven witnesses called by the state.

The defendants both live in Home City, but one is at present in Ne braska. Mr. Fragel, who killed Letzow on Horseshoe creek on Sunday of last week, as reported in last week's issue of this paper, but who was exonorated by the coroner's jury as having acted in self- defense, has been arrested since. Glass Polack of this city will defend Mr. Fragel upon his trial at the next term of the Washington county district court.

TheMrstAnnualFair Whether heavy or light the burden be, Only as one shall oar strength be tried." So we climbed together, young and strong For no toil is heavy to Love and Toath And plucked the flowers that fringed the way- Flowers that blOBSom for Trust and Truth.

How sweet the morn! How the hours sped! And dancing beside us came little feet, Sweet tiny voices, and little hands, Clinging softly with clasping sweet. Ah, the tender sadness with which one tells Of joys that are dead! The morning gone, Bough grew the way, and hard the toil, As the weary heat of the noon came on. And then he was stricken! falling downj In the rugged way at the hot noontide; And cold hands bore him away from me. Over the stream to the other side. weary, weary, the way I have trod! The pattering feet beside my own No more keep time, and the little hands Clasp mine nn more.

Old, and alone! I have passed the summit long, long ago Slowly painfully, creeping down! Gray locks are straying my temples o'er. Where clustered brightly the curls of brown. At the foot of the hill rolls the sullen stream I am earing it now at the eventide; I shall enter it when the sun goes down. And meet my love on the other side. Mr.

Capioma has had another wedding which has not failed to attract general recognition. On last Thursday ight the happy groom of but a few hoars, was roughly aroused from the bridal couch by a chorus of tin pans and other noises calculated to grate harshly on the ear of Hymen's new deciple. The din increasing, the newly married ones descended and generously treated their visitors to candies, nuts, etc. a provision of the thoughtful groom after which the boys took their departure, thereafter leaving the young couple to the full and uninterrupted realization of bymenial bliss.

R. Cobs noticed an animal that looked something more like a rat than an elephant sticking its head up occasionally through first one and then another of the 71,193 holes in the sidewalk in front of the Boston Shoe store. Believing that the safety of the passers by (although there are few who ever pass the Boston Shoe store without stopping to purchase from $5 to 50 worth of goods), demanded the extermination of the audacious quadruped, he called upon the crack sportesman and Nimrod Mr. Fred Boland to get his gun and deal out death and cold lead to the beast Nimrod accordingly secured a gun from Billy Williams' shooting gallery and after waiting an hour or so he was rewarded with a shot at the beast, death resulting almost instantly amid great excitement of the by-standers numbering some eleven or eight, including small toys, dogs, cats, etc. The beast proved to be a large weasel, and new that it is dead, all apprehension is childish in regard to danger in that quarter.
