II EicmioR. On Thursday morning last at about S:30 o'clock, the special excursion train pulled out of the Columbus de pot as previously advertised, having on board the Keystone Base Ball Club, the Columbus Cornet Band, of thirteen pieces, and a large number of ladies and gentlemen, citizens of this place and vicinity in all making a lively party of about 200. Our accommodating and gentle manly conductor, Cowan, and Jovial engineer, Connor, carried us to our destination, Wahoo, without accident of any kind. On the way the train passed through a portion of Saunders county, visited by the destructive hail storm, when crops of all kinds were cut to the ground, and from the ap pearance now they will be quite a total loss. Arriving at Wahoov the excursion ists were met at the depot by a brass band of ten pieces, under the direction of Prof. Burt King, which played a couple ot fine selections, after which the Columbus boys returned the sal ute. It being noon, everybody has tened to hotels for dinner. After dinner, the time until the game of ball was called, was occupied by the excursionists in "taking in" the town, which, by the way, is pleas antly located and can boast of some very fine business blocks and hand some buildings. All kinds of busi ness is well represented and business men all seem happy. Two newspa pers are published here the Inde pendent and Tunes. Several large brick bnsiness houses are now in course of construction. Church spires loom up in different parts of the little city, and the school building is large and commodious. At three o'clock the game of ball was calied in the pr -nce of about 600 people. The ; ' were pretty evenly matched and the game proved interesting and exciting throughout. At intervals during the play the bands treated the audience to music. The difficult task of umpiring was left to Walter Phillips, ot this city, and he did it admirably, and with universal satisfaction. Our ooys won the toss, and sent the Wahoo's to the bat with Landers puohini and Wake catcnih?. Smith of the Wahoo nine opened the rame with a grounder to scott who picked it up in line style, but made a wild throw to first. Emery to bat next with a base hit. but out running to second. Thomas struck out. Dorsev ba-e hit. but out on second by Johnson's fly which Hudson caught. Smith scoring. Loeb opened the batting for our boys. reaching second on three -trike. Evans base hit. Landers fly wa- caught by Sherwood. Loeb sconuir the first run for the Keystones on the hit. Wake reached firt on three strikes. Scott out by a toui strike. Baker first ba-e on even balls. Hudson made a fine two -ba-e hit. bring ing Evan- and Wake home. Weaver out on fly to Thomas. The -core at the end of the first inning was thrte to one in favor of the Keystones. In the next inning neither -ide scored. In the third two men were out. Emery knocked a fly to Weaver who muffed it. and before our boys could get the third man out. tbe Wahoo- scored three runs. The Keystone- failed to score until the fifth innin:r. when Wake scored one run. In the fourth, for the WahooS McKm ney made the only run. In the fifth Wake scored two runs. Dorsey on a single bagger. Griffith reached first on a grounder, when 3IcKm ney made the only three-base hit of th- 1 srame. Dnnzing irriintn name, out uyiu on tnird himself by Sherwood's grounder to Landers. The :rame now stood -even to four in favor of Wahoo. At the beginning of the -irth inning Ro-siter went behind the bat and Wake pitcher. Landers going to left field. In the next two inning- Wahoo failed to -core. Wake? curved ball proving too much for them, five men retiring on three strikes. In the eighth. Smith scored on Ro-si-ter's fumble. In the ninth. Griffith and iI-Kinney scored, making ten runs in all for the Wahoo's. The Keystone" failed to score until the ninth inning, when Evans. Landers and Wake reached home, making seven runs for the Keystone's. Below is tne score: WAHOO. R. O. ! SlTi'STONT:. K. O. R. O. ! EEYSTOtfE. 2 3 Loeb. 1 b Smitn. c. f .

The "rub" game will probably be played in the near future in this citv. John Walker of Shell creek, Platte Co., called on us Monday evening. He was en route wifh the boys to the grazing regions of the Great North West, where he hoped to locate home steads for his sons, and secure grazing grounds for his flocks and herds which are increasing fast. "Tell old M. K. Turner" said he ''where I am going; and that if after spying out the grounds, I can find a soft thing for any of my neighbors in Platte County, situated as I am now, I will let them know it through him.r We guess we will also take a trip our selves up tc the neighborhood of Bone creek, and look out ranche sites for the benefit of the readers of the Pen and Plow at home and abroad. "Old M. K." can then be further pos ted, because we think if John runs across Jim McDonald and Alderson on Cache creek he'll Iodee there, and pitch his tent. Oakdale Pen and PIo-jb. "Old M. K." hears and understand. Believing in Horace Greeley's advice, Kgo west, young man, and grow up with the country," we think if John hasn't room to spread himself in old Platte, he is perfectly justifiable in going into "the grazing regions of the great northwest."

SS. " Fire at .lliidi-on. Last Thursday morning there was news here of a destructive fire at Madison. There were various re ports as to the origin and extent of it, but no satisfactory particulars until I those given in the Madison Chronicle. which says : THIRTY THOCSAXD DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY CONSOIED IX 2 HOCRS. At four o'clock this morning the cry of fire was given and the people of Madison were called out to witness the most disastrous fire that thi place has evr known. The following is a list of loer and the amount lost by each : J. F. Duncan, building and goods. $150. No insurance : C Nei dig, building, goods and machinery, $15,000. Insurance $6000: A. EL Steele, drugs and household furniture, $3,500. Insurance Sl.GOo : L. Robertson, build ing and household good-. $1,000. In surance 400: W. M. Robertson, building, S0O.

Story, the barber, saved his goods and fix tures ; F. Brinckman succeeded in saving hi- drugs and fixtures, though his damage will amount to considera ble: A. K.Steele only succeeded in saving an organ and a tw articles or clothing ont of his entire belongings : Robertson Campbell succeeded in saving all of their law books and office furniture. The cause of the fire is unknown. Killed. John Born was accidentiy killed Sunday night by a U. P. freight train, about two miles east ot Duncan, this county. He was a rarmer living near Geo. Birney ; a Swi'zer, with a wife and eight children. Ie had been at Duncan all day, and left for home about eight o'ctock in the evening. It is supposed that the freight train which leaves Dnncan at lr-30isthe one that struck him. It seems strange that he should not have got further than two miles jn that time. Both legs were cut off, and gas.ies cut in the right side and head. The unfor tunate man had dragged himse'f on the track, and had probably died bu a short time before he was discovered. Monday morning, The jury sum moned by Coroner Hein'z and Sheriff Kavanaugh, were Aug. Schneider, Wm. Ernst, Jno. Monhka and Jno. Monhka. Jr., and Jno. and Hans Ger ber, who returned a verdict of acci dental death. You can always find news when you go away from home. We have not had the full particulars, and we give the following paragraph from the Clarksville Messenger to show what our neighbors are saying of us. and also the importance to those interested to hereafter bring the facts to head quarters, so that the precise truth t may be stated, which is an excellent thing to do even in gambling on the result of a game or base ball. We may say, however, that we have been just assured that the figures set down are very, very much above the mark : 'Mr. H. C. Chapman, the genial traveling agent for the Omaha Repub lican, was in town Friday and favor ed us with a pleasaut call. He reports that the Columbus base bail club went down to Wahoo Thursdav to play a match game wi:h the Wahoo's and got beautifully left.

Georgie Bell and Frankie Osborn were tried Saturday on a charge of keeping a bawdy house, and fined $5 each and costs. Madame Dee, on a similar com plaint, was fined $10 and costs. Minnie West, on a similar com plaint, $5 and costs. A similar complaint against Mary Belisle had not been disposed of. If there is one principle more t'.in another prominent in the con duct of a newspaper it is justice even-handed justice to all interests and persons. Of conr-e the welfare of the community is the very first concern, sr.d one ever cppermo-t, ' higher than any merely personal con sideration, and when an editor, in the I d'scharge of his duty, using his best 'judgment and with abundant facts and rtusons, lines out a course of pro- cedure he is not supposed to recede from i: without good cause. We wiah to say to certain persons that no I lureu:: tin ueier iuu i'ulk.hal iruui dealing with anv matter of public concern as ive not as they, think , right. Life is a blessed privilege, but scarcely valuable unless we exercise our right to think for ourselves, and speak our own sentiments.
