The Fremont Tribune speaks of
a tramp who undertook to gain ad
mission to the residence of Jacob
Baier, by the front door, but had the
door shut in his face by Mrs. B. He
then went to the back door and
entered, and finding the lady alone
and unprotected, thought to fulfill a
develish purpose, and grossly insulted
the lady. Her screams probably
frightened, the man away. as
neighbors were not far off. The
tramp and villian was atterwards
hunted up and is now serving a forty
days sentence in jail. The Journal
believes that the community which
adopts the work remedy and entorce
it will not long be troubled by
tramps. Let the town buy cord
wood and have it sawed up bv these

The wholesale liquor dealers of

Inmhna ,. -.rtpd th5, cit ' -,.
terdayto witness the game of base
ball between the Columbus Blues and
Hastings Reds. Our visitors were
met at the depot by the Hastings
band and escorted up town. The
Columbus people took advantage of
the time intervening between their
arrival and 4 o'clock, the hour at
which game was called to look around
the city and wonder at the many sub
stantial improvements going on here.
When the time came to go to the ball
ground the band again led the way
and furnished the necessary music
to make walking easy. At 4:20 p. m.
game was called and both nines
stepped into the diamond, tully in
tending to do their best to win the
game. Considerable money was put
up on the result. The game was
played in friendly spirit until the
sixth inning was reached, when a
decision was made by the umpire
that caused considerable dissatisfac
tion. Up to this time the game stood
one to one and had been one of the
finest games we ever witnessed. All
regretted that any cause for dissatis
faction should exist, but this was
amicably arranged by choosing anew
umpire and the game continued to
the close without further trouble.
ime5in the play about which the
dispute arose, we were of the opinion
that the umpire's decision was an
error, but we did not think it was
made from any intention on his part
to favor the Columbus club. It was
the second part of a double play and
"was done so quick that there was a
reasonable doubt arose about the
correctness of the decision. We were
sitting where we could not see the
first part of the play and were partic
ularly watching the man at third
base, about whom the dispute arose.
The umpire seemed to be a very can
did man, and we believe he rendered
his deci-ion in accordance with his
judgment. After the game all hands
telt as friendly as before the match
was made, and the Columbus nine
went home well pleased with their
treatment here. We formed the ac-
and we found them, as we presumed j
...:..-... n n .-tt r rre T?riTrt
we would, a very hne lot ot gentle
men. We hope that at no distant day
the clubs mav meet azain and the
third game may be played with noth
inr to mar the good feeling that
should prevail upon all such occa
sions." HASTINGS.

The -perial edition of the B. & O.
Red Book, devoted to the history of
the Republican party and its antece
dents, i- an almc.-t indispensable
publication to tho-e at all interested
in the development of the campaign
of the year. Great care is manitested
in the compilition of data, and while
everything is stated in the most con
cise manner, the information is so
clear and explicit as to be readily
comprehended. The chapter devoted
to the origin of the party and its na
tional outcome from the dismember
ment of prior parties is of exceeding
interest, as is also the points showing
party policy as expressed through
Congressional action. The condens
ed proceedings of the National Con
ventions of the various partie-, from
the earliest period of the country's
history to the present, is of no ordi
nary value, and it is a thing never
before attempted in such form of pub
licat'on. Indeed, it would be diffi
cult, to tell of all the important infor
mation gathered together and shown
so intelligently in the little book.
Those who desire so invaluable a
text-book for handy reterence, as
matters grow interesting, will not
delay long in enclosing a two-cent
stamp with their address to C. K.
Lord, Baltimore, this being the only
requisite to -ecure a copy. In addi
tion to the data having direct bearing
upon the one party, there is a vast
amount of informatii.ii given as re
gards both parties, and with the Red
Book at hand no one med be at a loss
tor an authority to sett.e almost any
question as to political history which .
mav come up. In common with all
t the B. & O. publication-, it is a model
of pertect typography the make-up
and type ned generally being very
t.ir above the average of political
text-books. 1

Township board met Saturday the
12th inst. and during their delibera

to donate a sum of money to run

authority ia the matter and objected.
They (the board) decided to witness
a trial between road graders on Sat

Creek for the purpose of buying the

i opposition to the purchase of a

it ' cl.'tims, his machine will do as much i
work at a cost of $75 as can be dose
by any other means for -300, it seems
that it would be economy to get it.
Last Thursday morning the light
ning struck the building in which
Mr, O'Donnell and family reside,
melting the wire stays that supported
the chimney cap. The electric fluid
apparently divided here, part running
down the stove-pipe and out by the
kitchen door and this part of it came
very near proving fatal to Miss
O'Donnell and her brother. The
young lady was standing at the door,
leaning with her left shoulder asainst
the north side of the casing, when she
received a severe shock on her right
arm and side, which appeared as it it
had been burned with powder. Her
brother, who was also in the room at
the time, received a shock on his
right shoulder aud side. They de
scribe the entrance and exit of the
unwelcome visitor as appearing like
a ball of fire with a suffocating smoke
and smell of sulphur. The other
part of the electric current followed
the wire tay to the corner of the
house entering by a nail and shatter
ing the timber in its course, and
making its exit by a small hole just
under the eaved of the house, scatter
ing the shingles in all directions.

We wonder what grave old Roman
Edmunds thought when Van Wyck
began to light in on him about that
U. P. Judiciary report.
J. P. Sprecher, who for the last ten
years has been intimately identified
with the Colfax county schools, is
about to change. He will take charge
this fall of the Norfolk schools. Mr.
Sprecher's qualifications as a teacher
are first-class.
The Humphrey Independent is a
new paper just started in Platte
county. It should be numbered
among the "high kickers' we should
judge from its professed opinion of
political parties and the manner in
which it attempts to put down Bro.
Turner by characterizing him as a
"straddler" and a "demagogue." Its
discernment of matters and things
politically, we think is not very far
reaching. LeC Crek Iiraa.
Our ijradinir competition, was a walk
over for the new Era grader. Everyone
was well pleased with work done.
Understand Mr. ifurdovk has bought

Mr, John Keeler will nni-,h buildinz
our church and hear that he will sret the
contract to build our new school house.
W.
Rev. Dr. Goodale of Columbus
preached to a very large coagreirition in
Watsville school house on Sunday, and
baptized four children.
The new grader showed up in excellent
style, doing its work in -neh good shape
that we are fully -atistied it will do the
work the agent claims for it.
Our tanners are rettin all the rain

Mr. Wm. Thomas, of Newton. Ia.,
says: "My wife has been seriously
affected with a cough for twenty-five
years, and this spring more severely
than ever before. She had used
many remedies without relief, and
! being urged to try Dr. King's New
Discovery, did so, with most gratify-
mg results. The first bottle relieved
ner very much, aud the second bottle
a as absolutely cured her. She has
not had so good health for thirty
years."

Mrs. Allen Vincent, of this town-
(
ship, milks eight cows and during
the month of June, he made two!
hundred and eight pounds of butter,
which she sold at 20 cents per pound ; j
making at the end of the month.
fUfiO. This leads us to believe!
there is big money in making butter.
Mr. Vincent has the name of making
some of the best butter in this section
of the country. When our mer
chants are selling their best butter
for eight and ten cents she can sell all
her butter for twenty. Belbcood
