The Columbus correspondent of
the Norfolk Journal, whoerer he is
just now, represents R. H. Henry as
having said "that our teachers were
not paid enough for their services,
consequently they could not be kept
very long, as other advocations were
open where they could make more
money." Perhaps R. H. could for
give the writer for distorting his
riews on the merits of Platte county
teachers, but we don't think he will
erer forgire him for quoting him as
using that word "advocations."

Saturday morning, the Chicago
dailies of Friday arrived with the
first news concerning an accident
happening to Major Frank North, on
Thursday, and all his friends here,
which includes everybody, are
anxious to bear from him. The
Hartford Courant of Aug. 1st, con
tains this mention :
"accident to a frontiersman
major north of the wild west
show trampled bv a horse and
badly hurt.
The 4,000 people who gathered at
Charter Oak park yesterday after
noon to witness the representations
of far western life as depicted by
Buffalo Bill's Wild West organiza
tion, saw an accident which will rob
that enterprise of one of its shining
lights, if not forever, for the re
mainder of the present season. The
day's performance had just begun
when Major Frank North fell from
his horse and had seven ribs broken
and his spine injured to some extent.
The Omaha, Pawnee and Sioux In
dians, the Mexican vaqueros, the
cow-boys and "star" frontiersmen had
just been dismissed from the front of
the grand stand by Buffalo Bill, at
the conclusion of the grand eques
trian entree, and were scurrying
down the track, when the girth of
Major North's saddle broke and he
fell to the ground. Before Major
North could get up, the pony of an
on-rushing Indian struck him on the
back with his fore feet, with the
result 6tated. Great excitement pre
vailed in the grand stand as the cav
alcade wheeled about to see the re
sult of the accident. A physician
was called for and Dr. Peltier re
sponded from the audience. He
immediately took charge of the
injured frontiersman and had him
removed to Oakwood hotel where
every care was shown him. Thei
Major stood his sufferings bravely
and without a murmur. He has for
a long time been a great sufferer
from asthma, and this complaint in
connection with the injuries received
yesterday renders his condition
decidedly critical. It is believed,
however, that he will recover, but
he will not be able to exercise for
months to come.
Major North is one of the foremost
frontiersmen who has visited the
east. He is a member of the Ne
braska legislature and is associated
with Buffalo Bill in an extensive
cattle ranche near North Platte in
that stale. During the late civil war
Major North organized from the
Pawnee tribe of Indians several
scouting companies which rendered
such important service that congress
gave him a commission, in tne
Platte region he is known as the
White Chief of the Pawnees, and the
Indians of this tribe look upon him
a3 their truest friend and protector.
Major North speaks their language
and is personally responsible for the
Pawnees who are traveling with the
Wild West show.
Everyone connected with the ex
hibition looked downcast yesterday
when it became known that Major
North was badly hurt, and none more
so than the Indians. One of the
bonest-souled cow-boys in speaking
of the accident was heard to say,
'Why couldn't it have been one of us
worthless devils, and not Major
North, a man whose place can't be
filled.' "
lloe Ball.
Saturday's game between the Union
Pacific and Columbus nines was wit
nessed by a large crowd of citizens
with a sprinkling of Omaha visitors
who carte up on the evening express
to witness the game. It was fully
expected that the U. P's. would play
a much stronger game than the pre
vious one, such was not the case bow
ever, but the home team did play a
much weaker game, it appearing to
be an "off" day for some of the boys.
Both teams did some fine playing,
Scott of the home team fairly throw
ing the spectators into ecstasies over
his exceptionally fine fielding, putting
out six men and making a running
one-hand catch that was simply a
marvel.

care with which the sale bills were

be more convenient for those who
have an interest in it to come here
and see it work. T.

Ed. Journal: Thinking a few
lines might he of some interest to the
public, I would say that the bridge
across the Platte river at this place is
repaired and ready for crossing. The
mauv farmers who have been cut off
from coming to our little burg are
now happy. In less than twenty-four
hours after the completion of the
bridge, the happy farmers over there
brought in my store over 800 pounds
butter and 450 dozen eggs.
Political topics are frequently dis
cussed on our street corners, aud it is
conceded that Grover is not just the
right man to command the votes of
all the better thinking democrats. I
hear nothing said against Jim and
Jack, and believe they will get many
a vote on the sly.
