Florence Herbert with her com
pany played the Unequal Match, at

she possesses superior ability,

ter it located. ...
Mrs. Mary Hill, accompanied by
Mrs. Emma Sesson and Mrs. Ada
Calvert, lady friends of St. Edwards,
looked in to see how the Journal

never before seen the finishing strokes
of the art preservative, and the neat

thing of a curiosity to her.

ized agent at Humphrey for soliciting

Charles Reinke and Jonas Welch
experimented a little with salt on
wheat ground last year, and we are
informed, with good results, the salt
being excellent in the destruction of
insects and weeds, and good for help
ing retain moisture in the land. The
amount used was a barrel to two
acres. It has been suggested us that
railroad companies will see it to be to
their interest to transport salt for this
purpose free.
A lady, whose communication
reaches us too late for publication,
calls attention to the fact that next
week new members of the City School
Board are to be elected, and asks that
the women who have children or tax
able property, and who are thereby
entitled by law to vote for school
officers, should go to the school meet
ing, and do their duty as voters, and
especially see that those in favor of
corporal punishment be. not elected.
There are two sides to that question.

West Virginia Monday of last week,
where he spent the past winter. The
families of Mr. Wells and Alberts
accompanied him on his return, and
expect to make their future homes

buildings on his farm of 320 acres,
half way between Columbus and Rich
land, and he and Mr. Alberts intend
to deal largely in stock, making fine
sheep a specialty. Mr. Price informs
us that a number of other families
from Virginia expect to locate in the
same vicinity.
The Genoa Coal and Mining Com
pany have just commenced operations
in prospecting for coal. They start
in equipped with all the necessary
tools with which to thoroughly in
vestigate whether or not there is coal,
or other mineral, underlying Genoa
or vicinity. We understand they will
drill 500 feet, if they don't strike coal
at less depth. There are plenty of
enterprising men interested in this
company who have capital to push
the work forward. Some of Genoa's
best men, as well as some from Co
lumbus, are interested, and they mean
business. They express themselves
as having full confidence in striking
it rich at this point, as every indica
tion of the presence of the black dia
monds Is visible. Genoa Leader.
Caart Brief.
Lawyers speak in praise of the
manner in which court was conducted
by the new judges A. M. Post of this
place and Judge Wakely of Omaha.
J. J. Trueman was foreman of the
grand jury.
Morlarty was found guilty by a
jury, and sentenced by Judge Wakely
to six years in the penitentiary, the
27th day of December, each year, to
be passed in solitary confinement
that being the day of the year upon
which the crime was committed.
The other criminal cases go over to
the adjourned term of the court to be
held in May.
We defer till next week the further
and full report of the proceedings.

who was appointed for this circuit,
has gone to the southern part of the
state. It is reported that be must
give up preaching on account of poor
health.
Byron Churchill has taken his de
parture for the "Sunny South." Mr.
C. has for some time fostered the idea
of a brighter land, and, we suppose,
he has flown thitherward. He went
to Kansas a short time ago where he
purchased a farm that is abundantly
supplied with both wood and water,
for his future home.
The Postville literary, as per an
nouncement, gave its last entertain
ment Saturday. The audience was
exceedingly large and the perform
ance, in genera, good. The only dis
tasteful feature of the evening being
the extremely late hour it was ad
journed, almost twelve, I think. The
subject debated was, "Resolved, That
an illiterate voter out to be disfran
chised." Disputants on the affirm,
tive were P. J. Coleman and P. J.
Bentz; negative, Mr. Caldwell and
Mr. Arnold. Miss Ada Parrel, David
Thomas and other person's name I do
not remember were judges whose de
cision was tentered iu favor of the

It is March now.
Easter Sunday found the earth cov
ered with a white mantle. On inves
tigation we found it to be snow. It
makes plenty of mud.
The Methodist parsonage is still
vacated since the removal of Rev.
Calder, and we are without a minis
ter at present. We learn from a
brother of Mr. Calder that poor health
induced him to move south to Red
Willow county and try farming in
stead of preaching.
A Polander a few miles south who
lost by fire his stable, one cow and
calf, two pigs, corn, etc., being poor
has received upwards of thirty dollars
to aid him to start anew. Thomas
Jaworsky raised by subscription up
ward of twenty-five dollars in this
little town, showing that our people
have hearts as well as business fac
ulties. We learn from Mr. James L. Brown
living four miles east that be has lost
by a disease called black tongue two
calves and that he let his hogs devour
the dead animals and since then he
has lost seventeen of his hogs which
he attributes to eating of the diseased
animals. Farmers should take warn
ing from the loss of Mr. Brown, and
bury their dead.
The Catholic church building here
is making slow progress in its com
pletion owing to the sickness of Mr.
Frank Brockbouse, the contractor.
Diptheria having entered the house
hold has taken by death three of his
brothers in about as many weeks. We
are pleased to learn that Frank is im
proving and we hope soon to salute
him again on his way to and from his
work. C.

LAST WORDS OF FEEBE CABY.
MARY B. FINCH.
"Where are my friends, that varied
throng?"
A mournful wail from a child of song,
Vessels born of death
Aud her tlutt'ring breath
But the world was off for a holiday
Nor hushed one note of its roundelay.
Her soul's bright wit had sparkled as wine
wnere nearis were entnraued with her
eyes divine
There all might gather
None ask whence nor whither
Men of fame, and those who early trod
The dang'rous steeps along the unwel
come road.
One of a pair, and from a Western farm
Scarce knowing the cold world might
wreak Its harm
On either brown-eyed sister.
Each and we all have missed her,
Since she drifted into the Great Unseen
Where a sllv'ry highway flows between.
Cover with flowers and robe me In white
Alice pines for me in the Summer land's
light
She is waiting I know
And thither I go
Nevermore to lie deserted and lone
With all of my friends like Autumn birds
flown."
CaeaCl!
For the next 20 days .we will sell
Kansas coal at $5.00 per ton.
