It Is all right to pray for deliver

would be more effectual. Nor is it fair
to blame Providence for tho sudden
death of deatly loved littlo onos, when

When you rtnrt out to get married,
of course you must make up your mind
to do everything up in style, and about
the starting point is to get up wedding
invitations. Tho mode for those I
require that they be printed on curds
twice as long as they are wide, so that
they can he folded once to fit tho
squaro envelope used. Script is tho
prevailing style of Mtorlng, and the in
vitation is given in the name of an aunt,
cousin or grand-mother, in the absence

accompanying the invitation is smal

If any young mnn of a vertigo intel
ligence, whenever ho has twenty-five or
fifty cents to spare, Instead of spending
it for cigars or beer,wlll buy a good book,
in a few years ho will find himself the
owner of a good library. The cost of
books thus bought Is not felt and it is
astonishing how rapidly they will ac
cumulate. A large number of itandnrd
works are for sale at this olllco, at tin
p'reredeutedly low prices. We publish
elsewhere a partial list of them, hut we
also have many other god hooks not
named hi tho list. Hooks are the most
ilceeptable of all presents and nro ap
propriate for all occasions. At tho
price we nffer theso books they ought
to sell like hot cakes. Call and get

The St. Joseph Herald of last Fri
day says: "A quiet wedding took place
last night In the parlors ol the OocI
dental hotel, tho parties being Miss Ida
M. Light, daughter of the proprietor,
J. 0. Light, and Douglass Hitldwlu of
Forest City. Tho ceremony was per
formed at 9:30 o'clock by Hev. II. Ilul
laiil. Congratulations followed and
then came a bountiful rcpust which was
partaken nf with a hearty relish. The
young couple leave this afternoon for
Forest City, their future home, where
nil their friends wish them well. The
bride is a most estimable lady and has
many lino traits of womanly diameter.
The rroom is in mercantile business
with a brother at Forest City, and is
good business man and highly rejected
iivnl . The Herald loins witn moir
many friends In wishing them well."

If all the bullets go into her head it

ponsible for tho following whopper: "It
is related as a fact that a prominent

vigorously prodding around In the
water with a pole. When asked what ho
was about, ho replied ho wanted to find
tlio well to get tho children some

Tho "Tompernnco" Column In this
paper last week was decidedly inttm
perate. Of course our rcadors under
stand that wc arc not responsible for
what appear in that column; and wo
certainly do not Indorse such intoler
ance as appeared last week. We are
friendly to tho Temperance cause, but
a few more blasts like that referred to
will kill it deader than the nails in Ju
lius Caesar's colU'n, so far as the work
of tho Alliance In Holt county Is con
cerned. Hy notice published at tlio head of
tho editorial column on the fourth page,
it will be seen that, owing to his long
continued and increasing ill health, the
editor of this paper wishes to sell a half
Interest in it to some one who is compe
tent to edit it. He does not propose to
sever his connection with the papcr.but
wants to relievo himself of the labor of
editing It, at least while his health
continues as bad as at present. As tlio
paper is in a highly prosperous condi
tion, this is a line opportunity for some
one to secure a lucrative, pleasant, and
perfectly safo business.
Tills suggestion is from the Scientif
ic American, and strikes us as sensible
and useful for getting rid of stumps:
"In tho autumn or early winter bore a
hole one or two inches in diameter, ac
cording to tho girth of tho stump, and
about two inches deep, put Into It ono
or two ounces of saltpeter, till the hole
with water and plug it close. In the
ensuing spring pour hi about a gill of
kerosene oil and ignite It. Tho stump
will smoulder away, without blazing,
to the very extremity of the roots, leav
ing nothing hut the aihes."
Why don't mtro of tho farmers of
Holt county engago in tlio raising of

that matiy renters of small farms in thu

may be fed to a throe months' child

Broad vs Narrow Wagon Tires.
We have often wondered why people
persist in the use of narrow wagon tires
in tiny section of country where the
roads are of ehty and mud. Common
sense .should teach men the narrower
the tire thu deeper the wheel will sink
down in tho mud. The prevailing
width of fhu road wagon tires is our
and three-fourths to two Inches, when
they should bu at least double that. If
tho tire were four Inches wide, the wag-
on would not sink one-quarter a deep
lu sotteroads, and those terrible ruts
seen in hot weather would not exist.
Ilroud tires have thu effect of smooth
ing and improving clay roads. Tho
Hirfacuof thu roads will stand a certain
amount of pressure, but the narrow
tire of a loaded wagon cuts through It
like a knife; whereas a broad tire four
to llvo Inches wide would roll over it
without sinking. It thu wagons in this
county were all broad tiro it would save
tho propvrly holders many thousands it
year In the wear of improved roads
which ar now torn to pieces by nar
row tires of heavily loaded wagons.
We find the following on this subject in
the DowagUc. (Mich.) Republican:
the wltto lire wagon Is coming into
gonial "so in this vicinity. Those who
have purehust.d this style of wagon
could not bo lndueud to go baek to tho
old. Tho phllosopy ot this is readily
observed. The broad tiro does not cut
through, either In mud or sand, thus
mnklng tho draught much lighter; be
sides this the roads aro not cut up, but,
to tho contrary, the broad Wr presses
down the lumps and leaves a smooth
track, thus bettering tlio roads, Hie ad
vantage of which is easily understood.
Many farmors nnd teamstors aro having
their wheels fixed over with a broad
tlro,wliieh is done at a small cost,whllo
hardly a new wagon is made here of the
old stylo. It Is hoped that tho broad
tire will bo gonorally adopted, nnd that
none will purelmso u wagon without
first considering the benefits aring from
using this stylo. Thu tiro which scorns
to meet with general favor is tlieo and
a halt inches wide."
