"Tom" Wilson of Fremont, well
known to a number of our readers,
died recently at Columbus, Ga.,where
he was filling an engagement with the
"Wild West" combination. The Blair
Pilot says bis one fault proved his
ruin and death in the prime of man
hood. We notice quite a number of far
mers from Iowa and Illinois looking
for land in Nebraska. Columbus is a
good place to radiate from for this
purpose, centrally located, and rail
road communication in every direc
tion, besides a good place to gather
information.
The report of the condition of the
First National Bank of Columbus, at
the close of business Dec 31st, '83,

footing np to $73,991, shows a healthy
state of business.

M. Schoonmaker, a business man
of Illinois, came last week to see his
father-in-law J. R. Smith, and also to

corn over as will do them for seed
till spring. Mr. S. wants to buy
twenty to thirty thonsand bushels.
Dr. McAllister, dentist, will be in
Columbus the last two days of this
month, next week Wednesday and
Thursday, to do first-class dental
work. Inquire at the photo rooms of
O. A. Stearns. The Dr. expects to
come to Columbus as soon as the
weather will permit to fit up a first
class office and photograph rooms. 2
We learn that Ex-Senator T. W.
Tipton is to deliver his Washington
City lectures at Fremont, about the
12th of February, and we suggest
that it would be a fitting thing for
some of our churches, the Opera
House Co., or a club of citizens to
secure the same here. Mr. Tipton is
one of the most eloquent speakers in
the west always entertaining.
The sparring exhibition last
Wednesday evening, we understand,
was a well conducted affair, there
being no slugging allowed. The ex
hibition between Prof. Miller and
Tom Cain, which was the main fea
ture of the show, was a surprise party
to some, as Miller was no match at all
for Cain. Ben. Rochon won the cup
for local 6parrer. Several other Co
lumbus men took a part.
Platte county's delegation to the
anti-monopoly convention, Messrs.
John Freeman, D. L. Bruen, S. J.

Anson, returned home Friday last,
and report a very interesting session.
The principal speakers were Judge
Barnd, McKegon, E. Bosewatcr, J.
Burrows, Capt Stickel, Green and
Manchester. The Opera Honse in
which the convention was held was
crowded.
The Kearney New Era speaks a
good word for the Building k Loan
association of that place, as bringing
together men of capital, and men of
muscle, working for a common end
the improvement of the town, and
the bettering of their own condition.
Similar associations in scores of
eastern towns and cities have accom
plished wonders for workmen of
limited means, and enabled tnem to
become property owners.. -
Sunday week WllL "Winter
botham came nearly being killed by a
flying engine on the Albion branch.
The engine struck, one of the hind
wheels of the buggy, throwing WilL
ont and braising him considerably.
He describee it very graphically, say
ing the engine seemed to be sat tap of
him. It was a very uusoal tunej for
an engine te pes? and " there . was
ne warning given of its appraenn at
the creasing.

In all reports in reference te dis
eases of hogs, it is found that when
ever soft corn is fed cholera is a pre
vailing disease. The disease is not in
an epidemic form, bat it seems to be
due to the corn that is fed. Farmers
or those who have hogs to feed
should be careful in their feeding. A
hog is like any other animal, if it
does not get suitable foot its digestive
organs will become affected and re
sult in some disease. Jfarqyette In

The Sidney Plaindealer, re
marking npon Judge Gaslin's sending
a man to the penitentiary ior fifteen
years for forging a small note, says :
One year for forging the note, and
fourteen years was for general cussed
ness. Think of it, fourteen years for
general cussedness. The next time
that Judge Gaslin comes up to Sidney
to hold court there will be a sign
hanging on the window of this omce,
which will read as follows: The
editor and staff have gone to the
Black Hills, will not retarn until
after oeurt adjourns."
The Seward Blade is after the
men of loose morals and easy virtue
that make themselves a blazing
nuisance in that town. The fellows
that are thus given publicity don't
seem to like the situation. In com
menting on this state of affairs the
Blade's editor makes some very sen
sible remarks, among which are that
"men and boys who get into bad
scrapes are generally those who
squander their money anyhow, and
they care nothing for a fine of a few
dollars," and another to the effect
that the disgrace of being: . i'ed up
in police court and the fi c posed
is considered as nothing these
fellows compared to a repo or it in
the papers. The disgrace r.ith them
is not in the commission of the evil,
but in being caught and haying it
made public

Owing to the prevalence of easterly
winds no migratory grasshoppers
have put in an appearance this year,
either going north or south.
The year has also been noted for
the remarkable red glow of the sky
before sunrise and after sunset, dur
ing the latter part of November and
beginning of December, a phenome
non about which scientists have not
been able to arrive at any positive
conclusion.
In thus reviewing the meteorolog
ical aspect of our horizon for the past
year, there is abundant cause for
thankfulness that while our brethren
Lin various parts of the country have
been suffering from the various casu
alties of storm, flood and frost, we
have been permitted to enjoy the
abundant fruits of our labor, with
little fear irom these powerful though
often unavoidable results of nature's
laws.

the result, so far as learned. We with

again.
Some of the readers of the Journal
also take and read the Madison Chron
icle. There is an article in I think its
last issue, assailing Humphrey, claim
ing to be written by an Humphrey
correspondent. The writer has been
looked for, but as yet he can not be
found ; it has been attributed to one
man east of here, but he denies writ
ing the matter so I will briefly say
that onr preachers are a class of men
who are not grumblers, and the peo
ple in town do not wish to have a less
number; as for the saloons they are
doing a prosperous business, and all
branches of business have prospered
in our town ; there is one point in
said letter 1 wish to dwell a little
upon, which says "I took a load of
hogs to Madison and made six dol
lars by so doing ;" that is a very small
matter to harp upon we have almost
daily parties that are honest enough
to tell that they do that and better by
bringing their produce and trade
here, and our town receives a large
support from Madison county, men
whe are intelligent, careful men. The
writer asserts that he made six dol
lars; $L50 to Chronicle and the re
mainder, to use his own words, the
woman, and thinks that better than to
give to preachers and saloons. Per
haps it is. But as far as our people
are concerned, we have not heard one
of 'these preachers swear nor the two
saloon keepers pray, but keep right
on as if nothing had happened. C.

I A. Glass, Aftat
F. W. Parker defines reading as
u getting thoughts by means of written
or printed words arranged in senten
ces." Experience has shown that the
ability to read may be acquired inci
dentally, if the attention is primarily
directed to the subject of the thought.
But under the old humdrum system
the mechanical pronunciation of the
words of a sentence in their proper
order is called reading. The means
are mistaken for the end, and the true
end is not reached. In consequence
of this we hare dull, distasteful, un
profitable, monotonous and unpleas
ant reading exercises. The object of
all school exercises is to promote
mental growth. Words have only a
representative value. Thought con
trols the expression ; passages which
are not understood cannot be read
clearly and forcibly. All elocution
ary drill which is not preceded by an
intelligent mastery of the passage is
not only out of place, but exceedingly
hurtful. It is quite evident that be
fore a class has mastered a selection,
it will have to be engaged upon it by
discussions, written efforts, etc There
will be little if any time for elocu
tionary drill, distinctively as such;
nor is any needed. The true and only
drill needed is the simple effort to
express the idea of a passage while
studying it. Says one of our most
independent teachers : "Good reading
never comes from rules, it comes from
attempts to express, earnestly and
clearly, an adequately comprehended
thought. I have taught elocution a
good deal myself, but I teach less and
less of it ; as I find my classes read
more and more, and are really hungry
for the appetizing relish, which comes
from stopping with a meaty passage,
and staying long enough to extract
its sweetness." By such- a system,
however, our progress "through the
book" will be slow ; our patrons, etc.
will become impatient. But, fellow
teachers, it matters not ; we stand on
a higher plane; we know the real
purpose of the reading class. We are
not ignorant of the fact that every
American citizen considers it his con
stitutional right to bully "that teach
er." The now famous Mr. Alcott
was starved out of Boston fifty years
ago for maintaining that the best way
to teach children is to begin by ob
serving how they teach themselves.
Our reading class is the true language
and literary class, including spelling,
reading and composition (oral and
written). There our boys and girls
learn by practice to express their
ideas orally and by writing, with ease
and force. There they learn to ap
preciate beauty and force of expres
sion. There they learn to recognize
authors by their styles. There they
learn good syntax and good usage of
English idiom. Children are not ex
pected to be elocutionists. Quiet,
simple, intelligent reading is our aim ;
no more "rant and strut." A genuine
apprehension of the thought and feel
ing of the selection will lead to a
much better delivery than those
senseless drills in pitch, tone, inflec
tions, etc., etc. If the teacher has no
time to train the pupils "to a good
understanding of the passage read,
then be has no time to train them to
the elocutionary delivery of that
passage. The first is the foundation
on which the second rests ; it is the
material out of which it is formed."
I think it was Gen. Sheridan who
reported to his superior before Rich
mond that he was ready to "push"
things. Fellow teachers, are we ready
to "push" a reading reform? We
ought to be. Teacher.
