cared for.
A 6uit Monday before Justice

cattle, barn, granary, hay, machinery,
&c, to the amouutof $500 to $600;
partially insured. The origin of the
fire is in doubt; it was not a prairie
fire, however.
The Schuyler Sun thinks the first
duty of au editor is to get the truth
into his paper, in which saying the
Sun is eminently correct. "Sir Isaac
Newton 6aid : "If a measure is to be
filled, and I can first fill it with wheat,
there will be no room for chaff."
Prepare to fence now don't de
lay another year. Yon need the

Leopold 'Jasggi of the firm of
Gus G. Becher & Co., started Monday
for Switzerland,-where he expects to
pass the next six months in visiting
friends and relatives. Leopold is a
successful young man in business here,
and deserves to take rest and recrea
tion. Joseph E. Tasker and John G.
Routson are about to open a land and
loan office in this city. Both are well
and very favorably known 'in this
region. John G. has been connty sur
veyor, is now deputy surveyor, and is
well acquainted with the "lay of the
land" in this region.
Two boys died April 14th near
Camden, from eating cake into which
their little sister had put some berries
which they had found on the prairie,
and which the little. girl had baked
during the absence of the parents in
Crete. The berries are supposed to
have been belladonna.
Peter Ericaon sayB that in boring
a well two miles east of.Platte Center
for Mr. Bell, at a depth of 135 feet he
passed through four feet of limestone
rock ; before that the auger had pene
trated several beds of soft stone, and
Mr. Ericson believes that Nebraska
has coal under her surface.
"Rejigious. services at the M. E.
church this city next Sunday will be
conducted in the morning by Rev.
W. T. Price, and" in the evening by
Elder Maxfield. Hereafter the time
for religious 'services will be at 11
a. m. and'8"p. m. The Sunday school
is held regularly at 10 a. m.
John Tannahill organized a Grand
Army post at 'Fullerton Tuesday of
last week. While on his way up he
left with an-obi soldier at, Genoa a
blank application for charter, and on
his return was informed that he had
obtained' twenty-three names, with
the prospect of many more.
Wm. Keller, trainer and driver of
trotting horses, died at the Sisters'
Hospital Sunday last of consumption.
He had handled some of the best
trotters iu the State, among them
being "Boston Dave," "Tib," "Gray
Dan," "Wahoo Chief," and other good
ones. He was his own worst enemy.
Lorenzo Clark narrowly escaped
accident Thursday morning. His
buggy had been oiled, and the boy
who did the job neglected to replace
the burrs of the hind wheels. He
drove quite a distance before the
wheels came off, letting him down.
A good, sensible, quiet horse is valua

Tho Madison county board of
commissioners have authorized and
instructed the county treasurer, to
issue tax certificates in the name of
the county on all taxable real estate
upon which the taxes are delinquent,
and the clerk is authorized and in
structed to assign said certificates at
no lesB than par value.
An Albion exchange, in speak
ing of Rev. Gray of this city, who
recently delivered before the Boone
county teachers' institute a . lecture
titled "The influence of women on
literature," says: "Mr. Gray has
drank deeply at the Pyerian spring of
classical and modern literature. His
address was scholarly."
F. M. Cookingham is our author
ized agent at Humphrey for soliciting
subscription, advertising and job
work. Business entrusted to him will
receive the same attention as.if done,
direct with- us. Call on him, give
him your home work and your home
news, use him well, and he will grow
apace. tf M. K. Turner & Co.
Mr. Paulson, of Nance. county has
a well 175 feet deep, and Mr. Ranke
of Platte, one, 143 feet. The former
was completed in four and a half
days, the latter in two and a half by
Peter Ericson. This shows the quick
work that can be made of wells in this
country, and it is astonishing to those
who never knew anything about prai
rie wells.
The Creamery Co. start out next
Monday for business. They are now
distributing their cans. As predict
ed, they will probably get twice the
custom they had last year; there is no
coaxing or pleading.with farmers to
try it for a few weeks. The only
question to be. asked this year is, how
many cans do you want? The Cream
ery is one of the Bolid, fixed, substan
tial business institutions of Columbus.
Wednesday, May. 30tb, is to be
observed as Memorial Day. Com
mander. Paul Vandervoort of the
Grand Army of the Republic, has is
sued a circular' requesting ministers
and priests to deliver appropriate ser
mons Sunday, May 27, and G. A. R.
posts to attend these in uniform. It
is recommended that all schools be
closed on that day. We understand
that the Post here are making prepa
tions for the occasion.
W. T. Ransdell, Vice Prest.. for
Nebraska of the Nalional Butter,
Cheese and Egg Association, desires
information from each creamery and
cheese factory in the State as to the
amount of business done by them last
year. The statistics are wanted to
report to the National Association. It
is well known that- Nebraska, for her
age, stands in the foremost ranks, but
the world will not understand that
fact without the figures. Address
him at Columbus, Nebraska. i
R. MacKenzie of Colfax county
was in town Friday. He expects to
go to his new farm in Madison county
about the middle of next month.
Asking him for Rams, he told us that
in the past month he had lost eight
young calves'. The symptoms are that
they first get cold in the hind legs,
then lose the use of them, then lose
their appetite and die, in from one to
four days after the attack. Some of
them suffer pain, and others do not.
A '-post-mortem examination shows
the stomach out of order, and the
lungs and intestines inflamed.
The Inter Ocean, the great repub
lican paper of the northwest, has
added a new feature, the Sunday edi
tion. Doing nothing' by halves, the
first copy gives promise of a most ex-
fcellent publication. It is almost in
credible the amount of work that is
put on this great daily and especially
on this Sunday issue, which, contains
variety of matter suited to every taste.
Wm. Penn Nixon, the manager of the
Inter Ocemi, certainly deserves the
thanks of the army of his.readers for
the food he provides for them daily,
and for the splendid Sunday banquets.
It is suggested to us to say that
thjs is as good a time as any for those
in authority and power to look after
the system of roads centering at Co
lumbus, and make them as direct as
possible. The Journal has hereto
fore had something to say against the
method of laying out roads according
to each individual landowner's local
convenience rather than for the gen
eral good, the former going on the
lines of sections and their subdivi
sions, the latter taking the direction
and the site lnost suitable for a road
way. The business welfare of market
towns depends greatly upon its roads,
too much, so to be overlooked.
Thursday .last Will T. Rickly,
while etooping to take hold of a hal
ter, was kicked in the face by a horse.
The blow broke the upper jaw in sev
eral places, splitting it under the nose,
and mashing it at the side. Three
teeth were knocked out, one of them
being pushed upward near to the eye,
and was so tightly wedged among the
bones, that it waB about as difficult to
extract as the ordinary large tooth is.
The sufferer was quickly driven from
Baker's barn (where tho injury was
received) to Martyn & Schug's office,
whero the wound waB dressed. The
bones were put in as good shape as
possible with the aid of gold wire, and
the patient is now doing as well as
could be expected, but It must neces
sarily be quite a while before the
wound can heal.
A very warm reception was ten
dered Hon. W. F.Cody, "Buffalo Bill,"
by his friends, at his home in North
Platte, one evening last week. Among
the many friends present was Hon.
Frank North of this city, for a long
time in command of a troop of Paw
nee scoots, and the hero of many an
Indian fight. Tho Telegraph says
that the Major was induced to put
aside his native modesty, which rare
ly permits him speak of his own ex
ploits, and the old war-horse's eye
kindled, as he recounted many of bis
startling adventures with the red
skinB. There waB no need for fiction ;
exaggeration was laid aside, and facts
within the memory of more than one
person living here, were rehearsed in
plain, unvarnished language. They
needed no embellishment to make
them of extraordinary interest to the
many listeners, and the narrator gave
them none.
An observing genius wants to
know why don'-t we find an ear with
an odd timber of rowB on it? You
may fini a 4 leaf clover, but I have
never found the odd row on an ear of
corn yet. It is always 14 or 16 or 20,
or some tther even number; and it
would be interesting to understand
what .corn knows about mathematics
and what objection nature has to odd
numbers. Fremont Herald.
It has been mainly through happy
suggestions, fortunate guessings,
scientific hypotheses, or by whatever
name prescience may be called, that
many of nature's secrets have been
wrung from her grasp by human
genius, and as the planetB-in their rel
ative positions with the sun seem to
follow a somewhat similar rule with
the branches on the bough of a tree,
and as Newton's falling apple sug
gested to him 'the splendid fact of
gravitation, it may be that if some of
our mathematicians can find nature's
reason for the even rows on an ear of
corn, that it will develop nature's
reason for something grander, for it
seems to be a conviction of wise men
of all ages that "the world is a'build
ed geometry."
Woodville.
Early-sowed wheat looks fine, nev
er better this time of year.
Most farmers here will be ready to
plant corn the first of May.
Two of the eight frame. buildings
going up this spring in Wooflville
are dwellings one 22x30, the other
22x40, built by two gentlemen from
Chicago.
DIst. 47 is to have a new school
house this summer. The same dis
trict is in need of a teacher for three
months commencing May 14th. $25
a month is offered.
Our respected neighbor, N. French,
is going to Chicago to live, his wife
having already preceded him. Mr. F.
is not robust- enough for a farmer.
He goes giving Nebraska a good
name. Two able gentlemen direct
from Ohio take- Mb place, both old
farmers'.
Dr. Bristol of Booce informs me of
several horses dying of late. He ha
no name for the-disease. It first at
tacks the brain, and the horse re
mains stupid and sleepy most of the
time until it dies. Some live a week
after the attack, an'd some die sooner.
Three fine brood mares have died
lately in this neighborhood. Jus.
Ksurffumry.
Yesterday morning J. Rasmussen's
safe was found with the outer door
blown off. Burglars, it seems, bad
entered the store by the door, with a
key. A hole three-eights of an inch
in diameter was drilled through the
door and a charge of powder put in
against the bar on which the bolts are
attached. The blast tore these from
their place, and burst the door open ;
but, probably from lack of time, noth
ing further was done to the safe, and
nothing of its contents was obtained.
The money-drawer behind the copn
ter was opened, the till taken to ttie
cellar steps, and all the money, about
$17 taken, leaving a railroad ticket and
a card. The brace used was got out
of Mordock's carpenter shop across
the street ; the powder used may have
been from Julius's stock in trade.
Nothing besides the money has aa yet
been missed, except some figs and a
few cigars. .Nobody heard the ex
plosion, although the house imme
diately west was occupied. It is
probable that the blast was mado be
tween three and five o'clock, because
the policeman, Mahlon Clother, pass
ed the place about three, and Charles
Coan saw a countryman come out of
the store about half-past five. Julius
says he will give $50 for the convic
tion of the scoundrel, and would give
$5 more to slap him in the face and
tell him not to be so biar a fool
the next time, but blow open a safe
that has some money in it.
The man who haB ability and nerve
enough to do a deed of this kind
ought to have the strength of will to
put it to better use. Knowing that,
caught in the act, he onght to be shot
dead, as a common enemy of mankind,
it is strange that a man with any sense
at all would be found doing such
deeds of midnight darkness. Tho
burglar is necessarily at heart a mur
derer, because he would not hesitato,
while at work, to take innocent life to
save himself from detection., Tho
community owes it to itself to rid
itself of all men without visible means
of support, hunt down criminals of
this kind and prosecute them to con
viction. There have been similar
burglaries recently in Schuyler; Platte
Center, David City and Seward, and,
without some special work, the blasts
will continue to be heard from.

The question referred by the Jour
nal to me can be easily settled, so far
aa the legal phase of the subject is I
concerned by. toe following quota
tioas from the revised school laws of
Nebraska for 1883. Sub-Division 5,
Sec.r 9, page 40. "The said school
beard shall have the care and custody
of the school house and otber.property
of district, except so far aa the .same
shall be confined to tho custody of the
director." Foot noto by State Supt.
This section has given rise to mush
controversy and many disputed points
still remain unsettled. The following
opinions seem .to be well founded.
The right to determine whether a
school house shall be used for other
than school purposes belongs-tb the vo
ters of the district when assembled in a
lawful mauner; buf when the district
has not acted on the subject the board
has control until some action is taken
by the district. But neither board
nor district, has any right toallow tbe
school house to be used in such a way
as to interfere with the school. If the
voters' of the district wish to use the
school house for meetings of various
kinds, I see no good reason why they
may not so uie it'so long as they do
not interfere with tbe school work."
The decisions of the supreme courts
of .Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and many
other states confirm this view. Kan
sas, New Jersey and West 'Virginia
confer upon the trustees, by statute,
tbe right to use the house for. such
purposes. In the absence of any de
cision by our own courts, the above
rulings have been made by the State
Superintendent.

intends to improve this summer.
There is lively talk of a bank to be
established soon in this place, and the
people have felt its need 'for a long
tjme We are a growing and pros
perous town, and the facilities for
money exchanging are both difficult
and expensive. Our post-office has
no. perfectly safe way of remitting
moneys to and fro, and the oqly re
course is sending by express, and,
too, some of . our most prospecous
people from the surrounding country
want a place to deposit their surplus
cash or gelt, while others need some
money ou good securities to help
them progress. Many people are now
making deposits with private indi
viduals for safe keeping. We expect
soon to have the bank, and that will
add one more laurel to our place.
