MISS LILLIAN TIOHE, EDITOR.
Shortly before noon, last Saturday,
fire broke out In the dwelling house of
Henry Koehler, two miles northwest
of Manley. The Are started from a
defective flue, and before it was dis
covered the whole upper part of the
house was in flames. Mr. Koehler, at
work in a field some distance away,
saw the flames bursting out through
the roof, and hurried home, reaching
there in time to help his wife in get
ting out a little of the furniture.
Neighbors arrived quickly.but the fire
had gained such headway that they
were unable to render any assistance.
Besides the house the cob and smoke
houses, nearly new, were destroyed;
also a new wagon, which happened to
be standing between the buildings.
Attempts were made to save the ve
hicle, but the brake was set and it had
become so hot that it was impossible
to move it, or to pull the wagon away
without. The house and other build
ings were totally lost. The property
belonged to Fritz Wagner, and was
uninsured. The Koehler family lost
all their household goods, clothing,
etc. Seventy-five or a hundred young
chickens, which were cooped up near
the house were also Included in the
loss. Subscriptions to a considerable
sum were taken up among the neigh
bors to help the family in replacing
their personal effects.

rain which fell Monday and Tuesday

(From our Special Correspondent.)
George Amick allowed himself to
be dragged away from the rurally de
lightful vicinity of this place WedneS'
day long enough to make a trip down
to Plattsmouth. As far as we know
he got back all right without being
hooked by any bulls or things. Mr
Amick is one of the oldest and best
known representative citizens in this
part of the country. He came herein
1856, and settled soon after upon the
quarter section of land which now
makes up a part of his fine 430-acre
farm. At that time, although there
were comparatively few settlers in
Nebraska territory, and though there
was no rush such as we have seen in
the opening up of the homestead lands
down in Oklahoma, there were,as may
always be found, a number of claim
jumpers on the spot ready to fight ei
ther with bluff or bluster the preten
sions of any bona fide settler to a good
piece of land. Nor was Amick free
from the annoyance of the claim shark.
The fellow who tried to cut in ahead
of him, however, was completely
knocked out when Amick, through
Judge Maxwell, proved up his claim
at the Omaha land office, and paid up
his pre-emption fees of S1.25 per acre.
Since that time Amick has stuck by
his rich piece of land, and whenever a
good crop and fair price has rewarded
his labors he has added to his acreage
from the surrounding farms, and his
land has stuck to him, demonstrating
that its' soil, although it may seem
devoid of signs of mineral wealth, is
yet rich as a solid gold lead in its fer
tility and productiveness. The man
has thrived from the fruits of his
lands, and his sons have waxed well
also, but all has come to pass through
unremitting application and unstint
ing hard work. The Amicks. father
and boys, are all good, solid rock
ribbed democrats, and can always be
relied upon to support the principles
of that party because they believe
them to be founded and double stayed
in the right. So here's to their long
life and ever continuing good health
and unabating material prosperity.

Special correspondence of tbe Journal.
Fine rains here this week, with lit
tle or no damage by hail that's the
record of the weather which has put
all the farmers in this vicinity in a
good humor and has silenced for the
time, very effectually, all growling
about t he climatic conditions. While
other parts of the county had a taste
of rain Tuesday afternoon or evening,
there was no material evidence of pre
cipitation of moisture here until near
10 o'clock Tuesday night, when the big
drops came down as though all the fau
cets had been turned on at once.
The bridge gang of six men has
been working on the new bridge span
ning Salt Creek a mile northwest of
town. The builders expect to have
the structure, the iron span of which
is eighty feet long, .finished before the

appearances there is little doubt but
what they will fulfill all that they ex
pect to do.
County Commissioner Zink spent
two days here early this week, watch

At last Greenwood has a local paper
once more. Editor Brewster, having
bought the lis.s or the recently crem
ated News-Record, will this week
launch the initial copy of the Green
wood News. The policy of the paper
is to be that of a good newspaper, says
Mr. Brewster, and in the field of party
politics it is expected to take a neu
tral stand. We all wish the new ven
ture a success, but during the time
that Greenwood has had no paper the
people have become much attached to
the Journal, whose -bright, breezy
country correspondence each week
from all parts of the county, is one of
its most interesting and entertaining
features.

The people of this budding metrop

dey. Reception to Teachers.
There was a back ground of more
than passing significance in a recep-
1 tion given the teachers of the schools
by the Winslow memorial W. C. T. U.,
at Sunnyside Tuesday night. For
more than 21 years the Wesc-jtts have
had a very close interest in the schools
of the city, in that they have always
during that time had some one of their
sons in attendance. With the gradu
ation of Earl this year, however, the
genial host and hostess of Sunnyside
will no longer have any direct repre
sentation in the schools. As it is with
this family so it is with many others,
and the reception, in spite of the in
clemency of the weather, drew forth a
goodly attendance, for all felt more or
lessithe debt of gratitude due the teach
ers for their faithful, conscientious and
efficient service during the past and
preceding years, and all were glad of
an opportunity to do them honor in
even the most modest way.
The reception was graced by a mus
ical program of a high order of merit,
to the success of which the leading
lights of our young and talented mus
icians contributed liberally. Deli
cious and dainty refreshments were
served during the evening, and the
guests departed with the regret only
that such enjoyable occasions are not
matters of more frequent occurrence.
