The first annual celebration of
the Omaha Driving Park Associa

2d and 1th. It is said that it will be
the greatest celebration Omaha has
ever witnessed. Horse racing, bal
loon ascension, Indian war-dance,
bicicle race, base ball and foot ball
are amoDg the amusements of the
day.
The subjects to be discussed at
the evening meetings at the tent
during the remainder of the week
are: Wednesday, The Seven Last
Plagues of Rev. xvi. When Will
They be Poured Out? Thursday,
The Mark of the Beast of Be v. xiv.

Some children (among them
girls of thirteen years) claim to have
seen a wild or crazy man on section
Itt, north of Clark's and Griffen's.on
Saturday last. They were only a
tew rods from him, and hoot at the
idea that they had mistaken a dog
tor a man. We are strongly in
clined to believe that there is some
hallucination about the matter. He
is described as having something
bright ami shinning lik. a sword,
on one side of his body, anil run
ning round and round, beating the
grass with a long stick.
We understand that Wm. Jones
a young man well known to many
ot our citizens, and who, though he
seemed naturall) kind hearted, was
always frenzied by driuk, got into
trouble in Omaha the other day and
was struck by a policeman acting in
self-defence. His mother received
a telegram that if she wished to see
him alive she must come imme
diately. She went to Omaha ou
Monday. It is understood here that
the blow fractured his skull. We
write this on Monday evening.
More may be learned before we go
to press.
We hesr of a new lumber yard
to be started in town, makiug the
fourth. If the public shall be able
to buy their lumber cheaper, they
will, of course, be glad of it. Com
petition is said to be the life of trade.
Since writing the above we have
learned that J. X. Taylor and Ger
hard Schutte are the new firm, and
that their place of business will bo
near J. P. Becker's. These gentle
men are very well known in this
community, and need no enmmeu
dation from us. It is sufficient to
say that Ihev have decided to re
main in Columbus.
We give the following summary
of the proceedings of the Celebration
committee Monday moruiug. The
Columbus Cornet Band were eugag
ed, and Capt. John Hammond was
reported as ready to furnish his
wagon for their use. J. W. Early
was appointed chief marshal of the
day, with Julius Rasmusseu and P.
Gritliu assistants. Alf Burgess, Ed.
Filzpatrtek and Gus. Lockner, ap
pointed as committee to wait upon
citi7ons and see who will enter the
procession. Judge J. G. Higgius
was selected to deliver the address
of welcome. One thousand pro
grammes were ordered printed for
distribution.
The verdict of the jury in the
case of Lewis, charged with burglar
izing the Co.Treasurer's safe was the
exciting topic of conversation Sat
urday. The testimony of Wilson,
one of the burglars was the main
reliance of the prosecution in the
conviction of Lewis. The jury (nor
any one, for that matter) did not
seem to doubt that Lewis was guilty,
but claimed, it seems, that Wilson's
testimony was not to be believed.
One of the jurvmen is reported as
saying, since the trial, that he didn't
know but that Wilson, Lewis and
Clark were all on trial, and he be
lieved they were all guilty, but if
Wilson (who turned state's evi
dence) was to go free, and Clark
also, who had run off, he didn't
thiuk it was fair to send Lewis to
the penitentiary. Another of the
jury argues in this way: Xo con
viction could be had if Wilson had
sworn that he and Lewis were in
nocent of the crime charged; if he
had so sworn, no one would have
believed him: why, then, believe
him at all, especially when he was
to be free by jwcariug as he did?
Some one suggests that "33" be
caricatured iu the procession to
morrow, because no indictments
were found against gamblers. There
is an old adage that may possibly
apply in this case, as it does in many
others, He laughs best who laughs
last, and those who break the law,
whether it be by gambling in a small
way or a large way; by confidence
games upon, individuals or commu
nities; by burglarizing aafes or bus
inesses; by stealing money in the
dark or stealing it in the light, who
ever they are aud wherever they
may be, iu Columbus or elsewhere,
would do well to consider whether
they are made of the right stuff if
they be uot williug to obey, in letter
and in spirit, the good laws of the
land, even without the fear of being
thrust into the weary confines of the
State penitentiary, there to work
ont a deserved sentence. The Jour
nal has respect for any body of
citizens who propose to use lawful
remedies to suppress evils that tend
to weaken or destroy the moral in
tegrity of individuals or communi
ties, and if "33" is a body of citizens
of that kind (and there is nothing
the Journal has heard of, so far, to
the contrary), then we, iu common
with all good citizens, must wish
it well.

Our cannon is seldom brought
into requisition, and we trust that
we shall never have occasion to use
it except in seasous of public re
joicings, to send over the hills, and
across the broad prairies, and up
aud down the fertile valleys of Xe
braska, glad tidings to those who
dwell thereon. Ring out, faithful
old gun, and with your voice of
thunder tell of the onward march
of commerce; tell of the Providence
which favors the brave, and of the
good, sound judgment of 'he men
who recognized their opportunity
and failed not to take ad outage of
it ; tell of the fashiouiug ot the nine
mile link iu our chain of commerce
that connects us with the growing
west and the prosperous north, and
that will eventually send our pro
ducts to the Black Hills aud bring
cheaper lumber from the piueries of
the north; tell of there-union thus
made with old friends, tried and
true.
Thursday, June Kith, has been set
apart for celebrating the completion
of the road. There will be two
coaches and five open cars for each
arm of the road furnished for the
occasion, free, by the U P. Co., the
coaches for the. transportation of
ladies and children; the trains will
start at the usual time, and no
freight trains will be run on that
day.
The speakers of the occasion will
be
John M.Thurston of Omaha,
Dr. Bear of Norfolk,
W. M. Robertson of Madison,
T. C. Ryan Platte Center.
Loran Clark of Albion,
B. K. Smith of St. Edwards.
E. Y.Clark of Genoa,
and such others as may be drafted
into the service.
Besides the speeches and the mu
sic, it is expected that numerous
regiments of Santa Anna cavalry,
otherwise known as Kallithumpiaus
and Annlrugians, will be present
and enliven the occasion.

ternately by the Band and Quar
tette. After the speeches, intermission
for dinner until 3 o'clock.
At 3, the parade will take place,
forming at the City Hall the order
of procession being: The Colum

Council in open carriages ; all trades
aud business firms as they may be
represented upon wheels; Norfolk
Cornet Band ; citizens and others in
carriages and other vehicles ; Albion
Cornet Baud; Sauta Auna Cavalry
and Cdlithumpians.
Every citizen should put his shoul
der to thu wheel, and do bis best to
make the occasion one of pleasure
and long to be remembered, for tru
ly, we believe the building of this
road marks oue of the brightest
spots in the history of our city, and
will be looked back to without re
gret, uot only, but with great pleas
ure. If Columbus shall always take
advantage of circumstances, as she
did in securing this Lost (Creek)
link, she may always expect to bold
at least her relative position among
the chief cities of Nebraska.

Storm nt Humphrey.
From Wm. Schroeder we learn
some of the particulars of the storm
at Humphrey, Saturday evening last.
At fifteen minutes (o six a terrific
cloud appeared, with heavy, ugly
looking black borders and white
center, betokening hail, and imme
diately the storm struck the town
from the west with terrific force. If
would seem from the description
given that this was the beginning of
the storm because the wind at this
point was straight forward and not
whirling, as it was further east. At
this writing we have no definite
particulars of the storm elsewhere.
It is said that the track of the
storm was from one to two miles in
width. All the exposed windows
on the west side of houses were
demolished by the hail, which is
said to have been the size of hen's
eggs and smaller, aud very fierce in
its peitings. Farmers out iu their
shirt sleeves were beaten black aud
blue where the stones struck them.
At Humphrey, Louis Shroeder's
dwelling house was carried off aud
torn to very small pieces and the
household furniture destroyed, uoth
ing appearing whole except a looking-glass.
The roof of Phillip IIoII's black
smith shop was carried off, and the
family of Henry Prigge, who lived
in the rear, were all more or less
hurt, one of the children having a
leg broke and an eye considerably
damaged.
W. Eschelbacner, saloon-keeper,
had his building moved from the
foundation about six inches, and the
plaster torn from the walls.
Mr. Discutter. a farmer near the
village, had his stable torn down,
and one of his hor-es legs broke
square off. It is said that Mr. D.
saved his own life by fortif) ing him
self behind the horse.
Mr. Schroeder tells of a party of
men iu a wagon four or five miles
east of Humphrey who were con
siderably "moved" by the storm.
Their team and wagon were whirled
round and round for awhile aud the
team detached from the wagon he
could give no further particulars.
Also of a two-story barn a mile
south of Humphrey, that was un
roofed. He describes the crops in
the path of the storm as appearing
to have been lashed with whips.
Jacob Ripp was on the prairie
during the storm (which lasted only
ten minutes) and, 1) ing; flit, he re
ceived no injury except bruises made
by the hail.
The hail lay nine inches deep
after the storm.
Since writing the above, we learn
from J. II. Wurdemau that he 'iw
the effects ot the same storm eight
miles northeast of Becker's mill in
Collax county. He says that in
appearance you couldn't distinguish
a corn field from a potato patch.
At L. Weritcott's the storm was
severe, riddling the growing crops.
The landscape had a wintry appear
ance alter the storm.

The event of the past week
among mu-icians was the series of
concerts given at Omaha by the
S:engerfest. tjuitc a number of so
cieties were represented, among
them the M:ennerchor of Columbus,
fifteen of who-e members took part
in the exercises. They were heart
ily received whenever they appeare-',
but the enthusiasm of the multitud.
was unbounded upon the rendition
of Abt's Ave Marin, by E Pohl, F.
Gores, Chas. Segelke, Gus. Schroder,
Juo. Wermuth and Jno. Stautfer, of
the Miennerchor.
Among the notices of the press,
we clip tho following from the
Omaha liepiibliatn :
The Columbus M:ennerchor is
small in numbers but great iu mus
ical ability. lis leader, Prof. Pohl,
is one of the most graceful, easy and
accomplished conductors who ap
peared in any of the concerts. .The
first teuor, Mr. Segelke. has a lovely
voice, as was shown in the enehore
pieces of Friday evening, and we are
sure the audience would have been
gratified to have been able to judge
more fully of it? qualities in a solo
performance.
We are asked to state whether
or not a petition wa presented dur
ing the session of the legislature by
either Hon. B. K. Smith or Geo. W.
Brown, signed by two hundred and
eighty persons, and asking a vote
against a monopolist to the C S.
Senate. We don't kuow. The jour
nals of both houses will soon be
ready for distribution, and then
every one interested can examine
tor himself th record of his mem
bers. We have not yet received our
copy, anil therefore cannot give the
desired information. From our
knowledge of the men, however, we
have no hesitation in aj ing that if
a petition of any kind had been re
ceived by either of the gentlemen
named, it would have bee J presented.

At a regular meeting of Monitress
