About the biggest thing in Geneva -
nc'a.is . 'rhc Nebraska Signal , a
newspaper puplishcd by Frank O.
Edgccombc , formcly of this city.
Although dcprivecl of his sight
1\,11' 1g-ecombc takes personal
supervision of the business and
gctsout mig-hty good newspa-
per. He has a' big' plant includ-
il1g a type setting machine and
all thc other accessories of an 11p-
to-datc printing office. It is evi-
dent that he is making lots of
money and that he' is a power in
that community. -
On thc return trip Monday the
train stopped for nearly an hour
at Fairmont and while there , wc
saw an unusual sight. The wat-
cr works pumping' station is near
thc railroad and there is a stand
pipe as big as that at Falls City.
Thc cold weather had caused a
covering of ice to form over the
top of this standpipc. The pipe
had been pumped full of water
and thc pumps were trying to
force in more while the icy covering -
ering prevented it from flowing
over the top. It was obvious
that somcthing would have to
happen and it did happcn. Thc
ice gave way with a crash ; frag-
men ts were thrown many feet in
the air above thc the top of the
standpipe , and seemed to hang
for an instant suspended in the
air , reflecting sunlight like
giant diamonds and then they
fell rattling to the frozen earth ,
and the water , relieved of the
pressure lapped over the top of
thc standpipe and , fell in a cloud
of spray-and then thc train
pul1cd out and thc man in front
of us lighted such a vile cigar
that wc were forced to g-o out on
the platform and ride for , twenty
milcs.
