The Joubkal, several weeks
since, had an application for an ad
vertisement purporting to be in the
interests of certain lumber firms of
Omaha, and beaded Cheap Lumber
from Omaha. We had some suspi
cion that there sac something wrong
in the matter, and paid no attention
to the application. It appears that at
least one of the firms mentioned to us
has repudiated any knowledge of the
advertisement.
The dead beat is a man who con
tracts a debt without any thought or
intention of ever paying it, and de
pends : inly upon the forbearauce
of bis creditors for his living. He is
generally regarded as in the same
list with men who play the confidence
game, only that be does his robbery
under the guise of business. It ib
easy enough to say, too, that he lies
with the greatest facility, and takes
more time and trouble with it all
than would suffice to live an honora
ble life.
A young man was found Satur
day morning on the U. P. track near
the depot, his body cut in two cross
wise, one arm and one leg split
lengthwise. It appeared as though
he had tried to catch a train, had got
mixed up with a brake and been
dragged about thirty feet before be
ing cut up. There waB nothing on
his person by which he could be
identified, and his body was buried.
We learn that a woman came down
from Silver Creek Monday to identify
the remains, she believing them to be
those of her 6on.
The Central City Nonpareil has
looked at a map of Nebraska railroads
and thinks it sees a pretty straight
cut-off of about 60 miles for the U.
P., by a new air line from Omaha to
Valley, the use of the O. & R. V.
thence to Stromsburg, an added
piece thence to Central City, and vis
ions of machine shops, round houses,
etc., "loom up," especially, as is re
ported by the same authority, a prom
inent IT. P. official not long since
6aid : "Central City is bound to be
come the best town on our road west
of Omaha." No doubt but Nebraska
will get all the railroads she wants.
. There is talk of another newspa
per in Columbus. The city has three
now, where once she had five, which
leads some people to think that Co
lumbus is deteriorating, while noth
ing is farther from the truth. There
is no business In the' world that ren
ders greater value for the money than
the local newspaper that doss its
work even fairly well, and there -is
none that requires a more independ
ent spirit. A newspaper cannot long
live and thrive unless it has the pub
lic favor, acquired through honest
merit and conscientious labor, but it
would seem that we have in our com
munity men who believe the main
part of newspaper work is wind, and
that those are best suited to it who
are ft for little else, aad who can be
used, on occasions of personal pith
and moment, as brass horns are used,
to toot for their bosses. By all
means let ns have another paper, and
two or three on top .of that, on the
theory that the more, the merrier,
and "competition is the life of trade,"
aad special interests heed special
organ.
The crowd at Robinson's show
last Thursday was a good one in every
respect, large and orderly. The huge
tent was well filled, and the enter
tainment in the afternoon pleased
everybody, so far aB we know. It
may not be out of place for us to re
mark that since the experience of the
Robinsons at West Point, where their
tent was torn to tatters by the wind
one evening, they are just a little
anxious on the evening of a hot day,
and this may account for the slimaess
of their night entertainments. They
do, however, nearer what they adver
tise than any other company we know
of, their field is not oecapied by gam
blers, cut-throats, pick-pecksts aad
such-like gentry, thelragents are gen
tlemanly and evidently capable. L.
S. Steele, the local prase agent, ex
tended a hearty invitation to the three
families of the Wochenblatt, Demo
crat and Joubkal to visit the menag
erie at an early hour, so they could
see the animals under the most favor
able conditions. The invitation was
accepted numerously on the part of
the Journal and Democrat, and it
was a rare treat. Mr. Steele must'be
an exceedingly kind-hearted man, be
cause he seemed to be on the most
friendly terms with all the animals
except the three-horned monstrosity
and the big elephant with the chain
martingales on, both of which are too
cross to live in a civilized community
of ordinary beasts ; the alligator, too,
didn't take very kindly to the cane
that pried open his jaws. He told us
a goodly number of facts not ordina
rily known about the beasts, among
which was that the giraffe had liter
ally no voice, aad that the elephant
does not hear through the orifice we
should naturally suppose, but through
a small hole, about midway between
the ear and the eye; the laughing
hyena, so-called because of its grin,
does not ordinarily attack the living,
but prefers the dead, and is called the
grave robber; one of the animals has
the curious function of forming a
buttery or lard substance forming a
large portion of the tail ; when food
becomes scarce, the animal can sus
tain life for some time by eating this
substance; one of the tigers showed
great anger as we approached the
cage, but the fire of his eyes was
directed towards an attendant with
an iron rod and who was cleaning the
cage. The beast would grasp the rod
with his paw, then again in his mouth,
letting go pretty suddenly each time
it being a heated iron. Mr. Steele,
however, soothed the beast, called it
by name, and was evidently on friend
ly terms with it The sacred cow is
worshiped, the hump or oddity being
the peculiar object of adoration ; this,
Mr. Steele told us, is not a portion of
the spiuo, but a meaty protuberance
above the spine, and is the choice
portion of the flesh ; the water buffa
loes are used by natives to ford the
Nile, four to six of them mounting
the back of the beast, and steering it
by pulling the long horns one way or
the other, as desired. The vampires
or blood-suckers were about as
curious an object as any. They have
no feet, but cling to trees by claws at
the ends of wings and live, always,
upside down, so to speak; they are
of the bat species. Finding an ani
mal asleep they open a vein, and while
sucking the blood therefrom they
keep up a gentle lulling motion of the
wings, and a man, with a dozen or so
of them at work on his veins, would
soon be lulled to his final sleep.
From another attendant we learned
that the elephant kept chained is dan
gerous to strangers, having killed
quite a number of men ; when ae gets
too mean they let Mary loose, who
manages him very neatly ; she is ex
ceedingly kind and docile, and would
not harm the least child a particle.
But Steele is now introducing us to
the fat woman, the lean man, the
giant and other curiosities, and as we
have already written more than we
meant to, we will stop short, "never
to run thus again."
There was considerable destruc
tion of crops in the path of the storm
of Saturday week in the western por
tion of the state. The Grand .Island
Independent contains these para
graphs :
Plenty of time yet to raise a good
crop of flax, and besides being one of
the surest of crops, flax pays about as
well as any other crop that can be
raised.
The hail was unusually large and
fell in some places to an almost in
credible depth, and as late the next
morning as eight o'clock, drifts of the
marbled ice could be seen along many
of the fences in the locality in which
the storm raged most fariously.
In the city the greatest destruction
was glass, nearly every house in the
city being more or less damaged. At
Scbaupp's mills 180 lights were
broken, 41 at the court house, 150
worth in Koenig's new building, $30
in the Hurford block, and these are
but a few of numerous places dam
aged by the hail, no north exposure
escaping.
It is estimated that $1500 would not
exceed the destruction in glass aloae.

The German Sunday school of
Metz is going to have a pienic on the
Fourth at M. BIcedorn's grove.'
Mrs. C. H. Walker, of Denver,
daughter of Mr. A. Henricb, is on a
visit to Mrs. Blosdorn at Platte Center.
Mrs. J. S. Henrich nee Marv Stein-
t baugb, of Denver, is also on a visit to
her mother, Mrs. Alexander, on
Cherry Creek.
A. Henrich has butchered a spring
lamb weighing 48 lbs. dressed. Who
can beat that? He has got some
more as heavy.
Mr. Rivet has taken the census of
Jollet township, not a very pleasant
piece of work, during this hot weath
er and season of thunder storms. A
maa like Mr. Rivet, who is always
pleasant and friendly, was a good
selection for this job.
The German Baptist church on Elk
Creek have called a young minister,
Mr. Braun to assist their pastor, Rev.
H. P. Benthock. Mr. Braun is to
labor in this region and in Columbus
among our German fellowcitizens.
He is an able and good young maa.
The aged mother of Mr. R. Lewis
has recently come from Ohio all alone.
The old lady, although having reach
ed a good age, somewhere between
70 and 80 years, is still bale, hearty
and sprightly, her eyes beaming so
that many a "sweet sixteea" might
envy her.
A pretty hard story is told of a
prominent cattle man. We will call
the parties A. and B., and if the dog
that is hit don't howl nobody but the
parties themselves will know who is
who. A. has two farms, one away
off. To this he takes his friend B.
There he offers to his steward a big
price for a number of his own steers,
and then his friend B. says, I will
take all the remaining steers at the
same price. Thus A. made a sham
bargain for his own steers and then
sold his friend B, by selling him the
remainder at a high figure. Isn't it
pretty sharp ?
The crops look fine. Small grain
is especially good. Mr. A. Henrich
has a field of barley by the roadside
that is admired by all. A great deal
of millet has been sowed. David
Anderson has sold a carload of seed.
Don't know how much Oehlrich
Bros, and others have sold, but
thousands of acres have been put In.
Timothy and prairie grass also prom
ises a fair crop this season. Let
farmers prepare good shelter for their
milch cows and if cream enough can
be furnished, the lessees of the Co
lumbus creamery might be induced
to run all winter. Cream enough
may be provided if a little attention
is given to it.
The late gentle zephyrs have played
ball with a number of sheds, grana
ries and wind-mills, damaging some
and destroying others. Fortunate
were the non-possessors for they
escaped without losses. For the com
fort of the losers the story of the
stoical Tennesseean may be related.
"Jimmy" had but one shirt, and
whenever, in seasons "few and far
between," that had to be washed
"Jimmy" must keep in bed till it was
dry. On one of these solemn occa
sions "Sari Jane," bis wife, came
running in : "O, Jimmy, what shall
we do now; some fellow stole your
shirt !" "W-a-11, Sari Jane, them that
has can loose," was the quiet reply.

One of our East Creston boys came
near getting drowned while bathing
on the 14th inst. He was rescued by
bis comrade. You had better heed
the old woman's advice, "not to go
near the water," (especially on Sun
day) until you learn to swim.
I have heard that Mr. Ezra Drake
of New York has been visiting bis
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Drake.
I fear that the storms of Friday and
Sunday evenings bad a tendency to
make a very unfavorable impression
upon his mind in regsrd to Nebraska
climate, but one thing he.most admit,
It is lively.
Mr. James Phillips has a new top
to his carriage; the first impression
was, he is going to get married. We
felt rejoiced at the prospect of new
neighbors, but our hopes vanished
when he said he was preparing for a
trip in the southern part of the state
to sell Dr. Baker's remedies. He left
the morning of the 18th, and will not
return until October.
On Friday evening the 12th, one of
Nebraska's "gentle zephyrs" passed
over Creston and vicinity, followed
on Sunday evening by a young tor
nado. If it had been a little larger
grown it would have swept every
thing before it. As it was, consider
able damage was done. Although no
bouses were moved yet some thought
it a very good time to go down cellar
and look after their potatoes. Two
posts of W. J. Belknap.'s wind-mill
were lifted about 8 inches. Two of
his calves were buried beneath a hay
stack but were rescued before life
was extinct. The barn-roof of Mr.
Wm. Knight was blown off, one calf
found dead exact cause of death not
known as no inquest was held. Sam.
Fleming;s corn-crib was demolished.
Warren Belknap bad an out-building
which he intended to move but he
don't have to now. He can "recon
struct." Some of the pieces were
blown nearly or quite 20 rods. His
