We learn that A. J. McKelvey of
St. Edwards, while handling a revol
ver the other day, was surprised by
the thing going off and shooting one

to be reserved for an accident from a
miserable pistol.

A severe windstorm at Albion
Saturday night shook up little houses
and loose buildings. Mr. Cress waa
reported seriously injured.
Tan Dolesal, a new workman
with the U. P. bridge gang, was
squeezed between the eigine and pile
driver at Duncan last Friday morn -
ing. He was taken to Omaha, but

A communication from Creston,
berating the Democrat's correspond
ent came too late for insertion. Ev
erybody is invited to attend the
Fourth of July eelebration, and no
precedence is asked or expected on
the part of the Alliance none will
be conceded to anybody.
Juniata has "hoodlums" that lie
in wait and assail persons going out
of town at night. What the young
need everywhere is to have their sur
plus energy directed in a right and
useful channel, and by all means be
taught the power of controlling their
thoughts, impulses and actions, hav
ing all subordinate to a determination
to do right.
TL McCann, the traveling agent
of Wm. J. Scanlan, speaks of the min
ing towns of the west as comparative
ly dead, most of the companies work
ing for prospective gains rather than
for present realizations. He thinks
that the history of California shows
very conclusively that the permanent
wealth of a country is not to be look
ed for in mines, but in cultivated
fields.
The commissioned officers of the
First regiment of Nebraska National
Guards met at Lincoln last Wednes
day. They recommended to the Col
onel to locate the encampment at
Crete. It was decided that if 150 men
signify their intention of going to
Denver to attend the National En
campment of the G. A. R., they would
see what could be done to secure
transportation.
A close call from fire at Madison
the other day Iead3 the Chronicle to
remark that something ought to be
done in the way of protection. There
is no investment a town can make,
which gives such satisfaction as good
protection against fire. A double
force-pump at every building, with a
plentiful supply of hose would be
worlds better than nothing, and has
saved valuable property in this city.
A boy named Blakesly tried to
jump on a moving train at Kearney.
He fell between the wheels and was
cut to pieces. If seems to us that
there are risks enough against life, be
as cautious as we may, without
"tempting providence,"' as the mor
alists would say. Some of the Co
lumbus boys who are in the habit of
jumping on and off trains might well
take warning of this accident, and
stop a practice that serves no useful
purpose.
The following from recent de
cisions of the State supreme court will
be interesting to students of county
matters: "Under the revenue law of
this state it is only where the county
commissioners have failed to settle
with and allow the county treasurer
credit for such property tax as he is
unable to collect, or for errors In the
assessment of real estate, or footings
of tax books, that the county clerk
has authority to examine such lists
and correct the same." .
P. W. Henrich returned from
Denver Friday, making the trip in
21V. hours. He says that the weather
there is warm, with .showers of- rain
nearly every day, in fact, so great a
rainfall has not been known in a long
while. Mr. H. saw Byron Millett
and Mr. Chambers, both former citi
zens of Columbus, who are 'doing
well. He says, however, that busi
ness of all kinds is overdone in that
city and that the amount of work
done could be accomplished by one
third the number of men.
There were more than a half
dozen people kept awake by the storm
ot Thursday night. The thunder was
exceedingly sharp at, times, the light
ning vivid, and there was hail and
wind enough to suggest to the chronic
growler the propriety of lying still
and keeping unusually quiet for fear
of a still harder blow. How easy it
is, on occasions of this kind, to be
thankful, exceedingly gratified even,
for small favors! Morning showed
the windows all right, but garden
vegetables looking rather sickly.
We publish elsewhere the first in
stallment of a series of articles prom
ised, on the subject of astronomy.
The writer advances the novel theory
that the function of comets is to repel
and be repelled by planets and suns,
instead of to attract and be attracted.
Oarcorrespondent'does not profess to
be able to demonstrate his theory in a
mathematical way ; if what he has to
say shall provoke inquiry and induce
any one to look into the noble science,
which broadens and deepens the intel
lectual life of man, the Journal will
have had sufficient excise for occupy
ing a very limited portion of its space
for a few issues.
---Several cows were taken to the
Pound Friday morning after the
storm. Citizens whose cows are not
in the habit of living off the commu
nity, and who are very careful to have
them secure, were rather surprised to
find them in the pound so early In the
morning, and think it a hardship that
they should be put -to trouble and ex
pense, because the raging storm, and
the frightened animals combined to
knock down fences and.make an exiL
On the other hand, the guardian of
the night technically did his duty in
placing the cows where they would
do the least harm, and cause their
owners the least expense. Jft might
be well for the Council to coasider
whether, uder the circomstaaeea, the
meaey paid should not be retained.
School in Sub-Dist. No. 1 closed
on Friday, June 15th, with appro
priate exercises. It was the purpose
of the teacher to treat her pupils to a
pic-nic dinner in the grove, but owing
to the dampness of the ground, occa
sioned by the heavy storm of the
preceding' night, dinner was served
1 la. the school-house and wes entered
into by all with hearty good cheer
and appetites. In the afternoon a
number of the parents, and friends of
the pupils were present, among whom
Mr. Jee. Slightum, .Mr. John Brown
er, Prof. L. J. Cramer, T. C. Bauer,
Mrs. M. K. Turner, Misses Louie
Reed, Addie Clark and Pbenie Rice.
The exercises of the afternoon opened
with a song by the pupils, followed
by recitations, after which Prof. Cra
mer showed some interesting experi
ments with the air-pump. The following-
programme concluded the
exercises of the day : Song, "School
Festltal;" Recitations, "On the

Old," Jimmie Griffin; "The Doll's

Shell Creek Item.
Farmers around here are fencing a
good deal. The corn is picking np,
and the small grain never looked bet
ter. Cojumbus needs still more factories
and other business enterprises. The
creamery seems to find favor in this
neighborhood one farmer after the
other falling into line of the cream
furnishers brigade.
Two wolves are seen prowling
arouad here every morning. Neigh
bor Hearich fears for bis sheep, hence
he offers a dollar a head for the
wolves better than feed them on
mutton, turkeys and chickens.
Your Shell Creek correspondent
in his last.epistle forgot one very im
portant item, viz-: That Mrs. David
Thomas a few weeks ago presented
her husband with a strong and healthy
boy. "Davy" looks about six inches
taller since that happy event.
Some faraers in this vicinity are
complaining because the roads to Co
lumbus are changed so much and
often. They have to go around a sec
tion line here and around one there,
for the prickly wires are stretched
across the old roads. Now, Mr. Edi
tor, land owners cannot be blamed for
making the best of their land and put
ting the roads on the section lines, but
farmers can neither be blamed foe
doing business at other places if the
roads to Columbus are made longer,
every now and then. Would it not
be wiser to make the roads as short as
possible, even if the IaBd holders
should demand greater pay for their
lnd? X. Y.Z.

Thursday night a very violent
storm visited us ; people thought that
the end was near. One landlord who
cried, said he was scared like the
tivel.
Mr. Ottis and Murphy are. about
purchasing a pony to drive ; evide'ntly
they are convinced that a pony will
not scare as easily as mules, or they
are easier to handle.
We are having some fine weather
for farmers now ; " the prospect is
better than for some time" is the ver
dict of good farmers, as small grain
exceeds previous years and corn has
plenty of time yet.

Deepest sorrow falls on ou.
In thy memory, weeping mother.
Tre'asured thy last kiss will be.
And that last and faltering action
Which expressed his love for thee.
ilourn not that he early Ielt thee,
That his journey soon was o'er,
And the heart that beat so lively.
Now is stilled to beat no more.
He has left a world of sorrow.
For a land serenely bleat.
Where no grief, no pain, no anguish
Ever can disturb his rest.
