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.

the Keystones on the hit. Wake reached

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

to Landers. The :rame now stood -even

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.

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."

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. There was
an excursion party of about -lm went
along with them that got badlv left
too.

If there is one principle more
t'.in another prominent in the con

even-handed justice to all interests

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

scarcely valuable unless we exercise

The Waterloo Gazette stated in a
recent issue that Mr. S. R. Davis, liv
ing seven mile- east of Fremnnt, hss
49 cews; trom this lot he sold last!
month $204 worta of miik. He says
th.it eight months in a year they make
him the above sum monthly. Their
milk will realize him annually $1,632.
He is raising 10 calves that he estima
ted worth $400 more. He only gives
employment to three young people,
at an expense of not over $450 per
year as a total expense. This will be
worth studying a little by eapi:ali-rs
who are seeking a profitable invest
ment. Each cow will make a clear
profit of $32.3o. Fremvnt Herald.
David Anderson returned from

From Des Moines east to Chicago,
and thence to Ohio, tbe corn crop will
prove almost a total failure. Passen
