This order is comiKised of many of the lx;st people of Omaha, and their annual outings have always proved very pleasant gatherings. They come out for recrecation for themselves and fainiles, ami everyljtnJy is invited to attend and participate.

The Independent Order of Forest ers is a beneticiary organization that is recognized by all old line life insurance companies, as one among the best in the Fnited States, and is in nowise connected with the Forest ers w'ho held a picnic in this vicinity ten years ago. We lie-speak for the memliers of the order and all others who attend a most enjoyable event.

K. V. Wright, a brakeuan, by the sudden stop was thrown olf a car, and in falling to the ground he struck the edge of the car with his chin, indicting quite a gash. His right ankle was also so severely sprained that he was unable to walk for some time after. lie was busily engaged in watching for boys who were in the habit of jumping on freight trains when going through this cut, when the accident occurred, which was about 4 o'clock. Several trains were ' deiiyed for abodl two houis, when the obstruction was cleared away. -Mr. Wright went to his home, in Lincoln, where he will remain un til he is able to resume his position.

Already a list of over three hundred subscribers have lieen obtained, and w ithout much ef fort, many coming direct to the office. The Daily Journal will endeavor to give all the news, and we shall also en deaver to keep its columns clear of uiything that will lie calculated to en gender discord among those who are interested in the welfare of Flatts- mouth. Many of the leading business men have signified their intention of giving the Daily Journal a fair support of which we hope to prove worthy. It is our intention to doeverythingin our power for the upbuilding of our fair city, with the hope that our earnest ef forts will lie appreciated by those who lielieve in law and order, but not at the expence of attempted coercion. Gentry Bros. Show. Not wit list and ing the busy season for the farmers quite a number attend ed the (Gentry Bros.' poney and dog show, Tuesday. The parade at 11 o'clock was one of the finest ever wit nessed in this city. I n fact it came up fully to many larger shows. The wag ons, cages and chariots presented a very neat apiearance. The head band was simply out of sight, and was one of the liest show bands we ever heard. The performani-es of the ponies and elephants was 'simply grand. About two thousand people attended the af ternoon performances, while half that number was present in the evening. The show was all that possibly could lie expected for one of its charac ter, and it is one that the management need not be ashamed of. They have a herd of about 1(H) of the hand somest ponies ever looked at. Every man connected with the show is a gen tleman, and the best wishes of the Journal are with the managers for their future prosperity.

The deceased was liorn In Owslag, (Jer many, and came to this city nearly thirty-two years ago, where he has lieen engaged in bus'iiess of various kinds, first working in the mill of Coon Hcisel.

When we look over some of the ex changes that come to this office from week to week, they remind us of some men and we are lead to wonder what their mission on earth is. From all that we can discover of them, they are of no earthly value to themselves' nor anylKidy else. Humanity has never behelited by their creation, and is never likely to lie. Even a "long felt want" that could lie satisfied by them would lie purely imaginative. Sterling Semi-Weekly Sun. . There is more truth than poetry in the above. And the fact is that many of these "long felt want'' papers eke out a bare existance and are only a thorn in the side of the better class of journals, that strive to give the community pa pel's worthy of their support. The people seem slow to recognize this fact, and some of them will give support to these little papers, when they feel within themselves lhat it is but simply a matter of time when they will "turn up their toes to daisies."

The girl who tried to polish a hot stove with a mixture that contained gasoline in it lived in Elk City, Kan sas, until Thursday of last week. Should a man tell his wife every thing he knows? Most men do it. But is it proper when you consider that wives always tell other women. A woman is the royal gambler of the world. She gambles her all when she marries; she gambles when she has children, and she gambles when she marries them off. When nothing around town gives people a chance to find fault with a widower, they drive out to the ceme tery to see if there are any weeds on the grave of his wife.
