Judging from the amount of
practicing going on among the Co
lumbus Sportsmen, we guess some
one will have to do some good shoot

We are sorry that a lack of space
and time forbids a more extended ac
count of decoration exercises than we
give elsewhere in to-day's Journal.
The sentiments expressed, both in the

There was an attempt made at
the special session of the legislature
to attach a section to the law govern
ing cities of the second class and
villages,so that the corporations could
include within their limits, adjoining
lands laid off into blocks of ten acres
or less and offered for sale, whether
the owners of the same were willing
or not to be thus included. It was
thought that the provisions of the
present law were just to all interests
concerned.

Frank Simard (incarcerated in
the Butler county jail for an offensive
crime), committed suicide ou the
night of the 21st. The deed was done
with a linen string taken from his
clothing, tied about his neck, and
fastened to the bed post. The cir

strong determination to accomplish
his object.
A presentation was made by the

The Schuyler Sun of the 25th
inst. says : Last Friday's storm waa
very severe iu the vicinity of Mr.
Thrush's, in Colfax Precinct. Some
thing like a hurricane passed there
scattering sheds and everything in
its path. Mr. ThruBh who was at the
corral was lifted off his feet and car
ried some distance and was injured
somewhat by the flying timbers. The
chicken coop was carried away, and
108 chickens lost that could nowhere
be found dead or alive. One of the
doors of the house was forced from
the hinges and thrown across the
room. The force of the storm was so
strong as to take up a loose iron bar
of farm machinery and carry it nearly
to the opposite side of a pasture lot.
For a Bpell the rain came down in
torrents.
Sharpers are always on hand with
some scheme to cheat the unwary.
An exchange gives one of the latest,
as follows : "The rascals who go in
pairs, watch for the advertisements of
stray horses or cows, and oue of the
fellows goes to the advertiser and
asks to see the animal. His request
being granted, the scoundrel says the
animal is not the one for which he is
looking. The fellow goes back to his
'pal' who goes to the advertiser, de
scribes tho horse or cow accurately
and gets possession. Then the swind
ler tells the advertiser that be lives a
way off and not wanting to be troub
led to take the animal home, offers to
sell it for about half what it is worth.
The advertiser generally makes the
purchase, and in nine cases out of ten
subsequently has to give the animal
into the possession of the rightful
owner, losing the money he paid to
the iraposter."
The programme and premium list
for the county fair, to be held during
the first week in September, will soon
be in the bands of tho printer, and it
has been suggested that the business
m en of this city offer special premi
ums. The Columbus Packing Co.
have led off in the matter by offering
a special premium worth $25 for the
best four fat hogs, to be showu on the
grounds. All special premiums will
be published in these columns from
time to time, and as Messrs. R. H.
Henry and J. G. Routson have the
premium lists and programme in
charge, and are now busy with the
completion of the same, we are moved
to suggest that all who contemplate
offering a special premium hand
the same to the above committee that
it may be published with the premium
list and programme of the Fair Asso
ciation. This will operate as an ad
vertisement to those who make the
offer, and help to make the fair more
interesting. '

such sermons is a mystery, but he
does. But little that is going on es
capes his attention. The mining in

attention, as this great and profitable

And started to your feet
At the cannon's sudden roar,
Or the drum's redoubling beat.

No sound your slumber breaks;
Here is no fevered breath.
No wound that bleeds and aches.

Untrampled lies the sod;

Tka "Alliens " Meet tke " Keystones "
and Get tke Worst of it.
The match betweeu the "Albion's"
of Albion'" and the "Keystones" of
Columbus, arranged for Friday last,
was prevented by the rain, the Al
biou boys telegraphing that they
would be on band by train Saturday
morning, weather permitting.
The weather did'permit, and about
2 o'clock p. m, the game commenced
on grounds in the driving park in
closure. It was evident from the start that
Landers' pitching was too much for
the batters, and to this one cause,
more than to any other, may be at
tributedf the tarray of "goose eggs"
appearing in the score.
There was but little'chance for the
fielders to 'distinguish themselves as
the batting was against a pretty stiff
wind and but few balls Bent to the
field. Center'fielder Kimmel of the
"Albions'took.in those that .came his
way in good shape.
Among the "Keystones" may be
mentioued the following for good
plays : Landers as pitcher ; also
made two three-base hits. First
baseman Loeb did good work, as did
catcher Wake.
Umpire Mears, of Albion, gave gen
eral satisfaction, and the game was
played amidst very good order and
terminatedpjeasantly, the "Albiona"
taking their defeat with gentlemanly
equanimity. The following ia the

Decoratioa.
Decoration day was appropriately
observed in this city under the dir
ection of Columbus Post of Grand
Army of the Republic. The aud
ience, consisting of soldiers, ladies,
citizens, school children, etc., which
was very large, convened at the
Opera House, where the exercises
wero opened with prayer by Rev.
Wilson, followed by excellent music,
the reading of two select poems by
Miss Matie Wadsworth and Miss
Mabel Stearns, appropriate and pa
triotic addresses by Col. M. TVhit
moyer, Judge J. G. Higgiur and
Capt. Jno. Hammond.
At the close of the exercises at the
Opera House a procession was form
ed, headed by the Columbus Band,
and marched to the graves of the
soldiers seven of whom sleep in our
cemetery, and there strewed their
graves with wreathes and beautiful
flowers.
The graves visited were those of J.
N. Lawson, Barton Hunt, R. B. Mcln
tire, E. W. Arnold, S. J. Edwards,
James Jones and E. D. Sheehan, ap
propriate and short addresses being
made at each grave by Capt. Ham
mond. Nebraska tn. Colorado.
It is well known in Nebraska busi
ness circles that a firm in Denver bad
recently swindled a number of Ne
braska dealers along the main and
branch lines of the U. P. and B. &
M., out of considerable sums of
money, the' total being variously
placed at $17,000 to $35,000.
We knew some days ago that
Messrs. Clark & Sackett of Albion
had some interest in tho welfare of
the Denver concern, but we didn't
know that it was sufficient to induce
them to move upon the Colorado
works. It seems, however, that they
believe iu bringing rascals to punish
ment, and accordingly, under a re
quisition from Gov. Nance, placed in
the bands of F. H. Galbraith they
arrested J. W. Murphy and J. C. Rice,
and had them in tow Monday last,
arriving here by the Denver express
in the morning.
They are to be congratulated upon
their success so far, and if others with
like interests move in the matter, the
Colorado gentlemen may perhaps con
clude that honesty is even the best
thing as a matter of policy, if nothing
else.
