misdemeanor, punishable by fine and

The David City Tribune gives
particulars of a row at a wedding
which resulted in an old man's skull
being fractured in two places, so that
he will probably die. Frank Zerma
is his name, and he purchased his
several kegs of beer at Schuyler. The
blows were struck with a beer glass.
Later information is that Mr. Zerma
has since died from the effects of his
injury. Some of the parties are in
jail at David City.
An Iowa farmer got angry the
other day because bo many of his
hogs were dying by cholera, and,
concluding to waste no more corn on
them, called the live ones together,
cut up the dead ones, and began
feeding the j:ar8jie?t(hHiving.
He has not had a deatnfflTW
draws no iuference, but quotes the
old saying, "a hair of the hound is
good for the wound." Perhaps it
would bo more reasonable to say that
a change of feed was needed.
C. W. Falbitzer, of Niles, Ohio.
renewing his subscription, writes: "I
am getting so used to the Jourkal
that I dou't want to miss a single

too private and confidential like for
even the Journal readers to hear.
We may say, however, that so long as
newspaper proprietors are encourag
ed to their duty by the appreciation
of good men, as well as their own
sense of right, newspapers will pretty
closely represent the desires of the
people.
The Bishop of Nebraska visited
Grace Parish of this city on Thurs
day April 30th, '85. He was a guest
of the Rector and of the Grand
Pacific. The services consisted of the
full order of evening prayer, sermon
and confirmation of one candidate.
The Bishop preached from the words,
"Looking unto Jeos," Heb. 12:2.
The sermon was effective, and the
subject was presented in a very able
as well as pleasing manner. The
Rector, Rev. Dr. Goodale, read the
lessons, the Bishop having taken the
remaining parts of the service, con
cluding with the benediction. There
was a very appreciative congregation
present, and the visitation has en
couraged the parishioners who were
present. Much good we trust will
result from the earnest words and
work of this worthy prelate. The
prayers of the church in this diocese
are ascending daily for the promo
tion of vital religion and exemplary
Christianity. B.
On
Monday .Jacob Lewis had
removed a very large fatty tumor
from his back. To the non-profes
sional eye it was quite a curiosity. It
was about the size of a five-cent loaf
of bread (to speak accurately) and
weighed four pounds. Such a fearful
looking human excresence no man
need banker after, to carry about
with him, to lean up against when
sitting down on a chair, or to lie
down on when he wants to Bleep.
Jacob had been carrying the thing
for about twenty-four years, but lat
terly it bad been growing so rapidly
that he concluded to have it off, and,
making use of Dr. Evans's profes
sional skill, he now lives and moves
without bis " pet." The triumphs of
modern surgery are truly wonderful.
If one of the ancient professionals
who "fell to sleep" centuries gone,
could have wakened up and seen that
patient, under the control of an
anaesthetic, unconscious, with the
knife of the surgeon skillfully mean
dering here and there, and, in a few
moments removing the growth of
years, and then see how the patient
wakens and realizes what has been
done with him and for him, the old
practitioner would certainly think
that he bad seen some god-doctor
1 doing duty.

About nine o'clock .Sunday evening
a shed used as a coal house, in the
rear of G. Heitkeraper's jewelry store
was noticed to be on fire, the blaze
ascending seemingly fifteen feet above
the Journal building, (a two-story
structure) to those who saw it from
a northerly direction. Alarm was
thoroughly given, and in a few mo
ments there was a large crowd of men
gathered in the alley, and in a very
short time thereafter, the flames were
put out.
The shed was about ten feet high
not far from the alley, the roof pro
jecting from the side of Oehlrich's
flour-room, In the rear of the grocery.
It was used for storing coal, kindling,
and had in it also a barrel of coal oil.
It had been recently cleaned, and
contained nothing else. The coal oil
was put in last week, and but two
gallons had been taken out of it.
The premises are shut off from the
alley by a close board fence, the only
openings being a gate-way, and a
coal-hole, the latter 18x24 inches. The
gate had been cloMd In the evening,
and fastened on the inside.
The evidences of incendiarism are
pretty clear in this case, and it iB now
generally believed that all the recent
fires, that of the Freston building,
then Condon and White, afterwards
the Ulnk and warehouse, following
still the Walter Phillips building aud
now this attempt, have been the work
of some scoundrel or crank, who, it
caught, will not, probably, be allowed
to pollute the air for any very great
length of time. In the other cases,
while the grounds for suspicion were
strong there was no positive evidence,
but in this, it is hardly possible to
believe in anything but incendiarism.
In clearing up the debris of the fire
Monday straw was noticed, aud Mr.
Heitkeraper's folks are very positive
that they left no straw in the place ;
the gate that was fastened was found
opened about a foot, by one of Mr.
H's. boys at the first appearauce of
the fire ; a girl employe was out about
five miuutes before the blaze flashed
up and noticed nothing in the way of
smoke or fire ; a short time after the
alarm of fire was given, a man was
seen by Mrs. Wm. Graves going be
tween Dr. Evans's barn and the
Graves Hotel, where there was a large
and long pile of manure, with consid
erable dry hay on top of it ; the man
had in his hand what looked like a
cigar but larger, and lit at one end,
was stooping down and evidently
trying to set fire to the pile, over
which he was walking instead of
going on a path at cither side. Mrs.
Graves followed him up a little, until
he hastened his steps and got away in
in the darkness. Two citizens stand
ing at Ernst's corner just before any
alarm of fire was given at all, noticed
a man run swiftly by from the south
northward to the railroad track, and
then eastward along the track. One
of them remarked that the police
must be after the man or he wouldn't
be running so fast. Iu a moment
i-Xter-wards the-iire was noticed.
It seems high time now that some
very effective measures be taken to
protect the city, and that something
be done immediately in the way of
precaution against this persecution
by fire.
The blaze of Sunday evening did
only about $25 damage to Oehlrich
Bros., but it was in just such a loca
tion as would be selected to take a
very largeortion of the business
houses of thetown, which would un
doubtedly have been the case had the
fire been set about midnight.
Brother Graves of the Neligh
Advocate, an active fireman for years,
recognizes the difficulty of fighting
fire with unequal facilities, and sug
gests to the citizens of Neligh that
they put up large cisterns, get a hand
engine and a hook and ladder truck,
purchase either a Babcock or Cham
pion Fire Extinguisher, or what is
better, build an immense reservoir on
the bluff north of their town, keep it
filled either from a system of wells
near it, or by a Pangburn steam
pump at the river. After a water
supply is obtained, then it can be con
ducted down through the streets in
iron pipes, with hydrants located at
each street corner. "In case of a fire
attach hose to the hydrants, aud th
pressure of the water will force a
half dozen streams higher than any
buildings that will ever be erected in
Neligh. Wisner put in a similar sys
tem of water works last year at an
expense of less than $5,000." The
Advocate proceeds to say that it
would be the best investment the
town could make because it wonld
make them almost entirely safe from
fires and would greatly lower the
rates of insurance. A like principle
applies to every town in the state.
We were pleased to greet Mr. G.
S. Truman in town on Friday. This
iB his first outing since his narrow
escape from death by fire previously
mentioned. His facn has nearly re
covered from the severe cooking, but
not so the hands, as it will be many
months before they can possibly beal.
The thick dead skin must slough off
entirely and then new skin grow on.
This will take many painful days and
nights to accomplish, but as Mr. T. is
a man of general good health and as
his system is not poisoned from the
effects of any pernicious habits recov
ery will as speedily follow in his case
as it is possible to expect. Genoa

It isn't always that there are even
rumors of railroads, and newspapers,
always alive to the interests of their
communities, say what they can to
keep things moving. If talk alone
would build railroads there would
doubtless be several Hues constructed
this summer, iu Nebraska. We pub
lish elsewhere a paragraph from one
of our exchanges in regard to tho
construction of a line from Fullerton
to North Platte. It is rumored that
this will bo done and that through
trains will be run over the same, at
a saving, in time, of an hour and
tweuty minutes, or such a matter.
We are not prepared to say whether
there is really auy foundation for this

can sco how it might be a desirable
line, in several respects, and believe
it would be advantageous to Colum

the Union Pacific are desirous uow to
have all their ground in the city for
their own use, and would like to have

it is presumed that an extensive pas
