! HIeaary f Beat Hauea.
On Monday, the 6th inst., Be a Hansen
was stricken down by lightning and in
stantly killed, a few rods from his house.
It appears that he went out to look after
the neighbors' cattle that were in his hay
that he had previously cut and shocked,
and upon bis return to the house met his
most uncx pected death; upon leaylni? bis
wife, he gave her good-by, and little did
she think that it would be the last fare
well and that he would be wrapped in
death in almost a moment's time. His
wife noticed him walking towards the
house and but a few rods away and then
she missed him and called the attention
of the hired man and told him to look for
Ben, and upon the announcement of the
fact it was the terriblest shock ever
witnessed in this community, as he had
always been a kind husband and good
neighbor, generous, open hearted, and
always willing to tend his aid in time of
need, and he leaves hosts of friend to
mourn his loSs. The funeral took place
at his residence on Wednesday, the Stb,
and was largely attended. The services
were conducted by Rev. Wm. Swenson
of the Swedish Lutheran denomination of
which he was a member.
He was born near Halsingburg, Sweden,
and had nearly reached his 4Sth year.
He emigrated to this country in 1870,
stopping in Illinois. He came to Ne
braska in 1877, and since that time was
permanently located at Lookingglass
this county. He leaves a wife, brother
and a sister in this country, and mother
and sister in Sweden to mourn his early
departure from this earth to meet with
the angels in the realms of bliss.
1'ale death has come in ghastly mien
And thrown his icy fetters round.
Our neighbor dear, so lately seen,
Is laid beneath the cold, cold ground.
We loathe to bid a last farewell,
To meet thee face to face no more.
Until we meet where angels dwell.
Upon that bright and shining shore.
O'er thy grave we'll scatter flowers,
A meager tribute of our love,
And think of thee iu lonely hours,
Till God shall call from heaven above.
One by one the (lowers fade
Oneby one they fall away,
So one by one we all arc laid
Beneath the cold and silent clay.
In token of respect.

D. B. Beardsley, cousin of C. A ,
from Finlcy, Ohio, visited him two
days last week. He gave us a very
intending account of the oil and gas
wells at Fihlpy and the impetus they
have given to business there. Iu
one part of the town tho wells give
out oil, in another, gas, the average
depth of the flow being 1,250 feet.
A dozen large factories have located
recently, having become satisfied that
tho flow is permanent. One glass
factory whose fuel expense at Wheel
ing was $15,000 to $20,000 will
run on gas for $200 a year,
which is a fair sample of the saving.
Citizens use their old cook and heat
ing stoves, with a gas jet inside, and
get their heat aud light at a nominal
cost. The existence of gas was real
ized there twenty-five years ago, but
until two years ago, no effort was
made to utilize it. If Columbus
capitalists, by venturing $100 apiece,
could strike oil or gas, wouldn't it be
a good thing?
Lake aad. Park.
The following officers havo been
selected for the Lake and Park Com
pany : Prest., G. G. Bowman ; Sec'y.,
A. Anderson ; Treas., O. T. Roen ;
Supt., A. J. Arnold.
Work will be begun immediately
on a water way GOO feet long by 250
wide, to be increased next year to
1200 feet in length. The lake will
also be stocked with fish. We learn
that the Company will improve tho
grounds- by planting trees, &c,
making it a very attractive place for
pleasure. We presume there will be
an effort made to have the water
supplied by the city from tho water
works, which the city can well
afford to do considering what the
Lake aud Park will add to the sum
of our pleasures.

'We give this week a very brief
summary of the proceedings of the
convention Saturday last, reserving
for the next session a full account.
Judge A. M. Poit was called to the
chair, and H. P. Coolidge chosen
secretary.
After organizing, the convention
requested Uoo. Leander Garrard to
name the delegate? to tho state con
vention, ne presented the follow
ing: M. Whitmoyer, B. R. Cowdery,
A. M. Post, M. K. Turner, G. XV.
Barnhart, J. E. Moncrief and L A.
Clark.
The delegates selected to the cm
greisional convention were John
Newman, Herman Picpor, XV. II.
Hess, W. B. Backus, J. XV. Early,
Ed. Hoare and Saml. Mahood, and
aud a resolution was passed endors
ing Hon. G. W. E. Dorsey,
The following resolution wae unan
imously adopted :
Resolved, That we, as republicans
in convention assembled, fully rec
ognizo the integrity, ability aud loy
ality of our honored citizen, Leander
Gerrard, and present his name for
governor of the state of Nebraska,
and especially urge our delegates to
the state convention to use all honor
able meaus to secure his nomination.
The convention then .adjourned to
meet, on the call of the chairman, at
P!atte Center, for the purpose of
completing the work for which the
convention wascillcd, viz: tho nom
inating of county ticket, etc.
Thechairmin authoriz-s n to siy
that the convention will meet at
Platte Comer, Satcrday, October 0,
at 2 p. m.
!ilicll Cr:ek Item.
The cholora h.n m-ido sad havoc
among the porker?. Mr. M. Blod
orn, Mr. Forest, Mr. Oph-trt and Mr.
C. Martin have all been looern, but
there seems to bo a lull, let us hope
a stop to it now.
Mr. C. Kaminsti 'had a narrow
escape ou Tuesday. The Omaha &
Norfolk express train struck him on
the track near Mr. Mich. Maher's,
killing both his horses and made
kindlings of his -.vagon. Mr. K.
jumped off and escaped bodily harm.
A warning to all.
Concerts on every farm. On one
the threshing machine, on the other
the mowing machine is rattling. Let
farmers cut all the hay they can. If
they don't, they will bo sorry before
spring. Parts of Kansas Iowa, Illi
nois, Michigan aud Wiscousiu wjll
have to look out for hay.
Between Atchison aud Topeka a
field of sunflowers was observed.
Knowing that the farmers generally
are too sensible and practical to raise
them for admiration a la Oscar
Wilde,a fellow traveler was accosted :
"Why, isn't that a field of sun
flowers ?" Yes, they raise them here
aud get $1 a bushel for the peed."
Now the writer years ago called' the
attention to Nebraska farmers to the
sunflower. It is the weed of Nebras
ka per excellence. Why not raiso it ?
The seed make the finest oil, the
stalks splendid fuel, and at $4 a bush
el for seed will fill the farmer's
pocket, not to speak of tho fact that
the seeds are the very best feed for
fowls, and the oilcake for all kinds
of stock. Who has got courage
enough to got out of tho old ruts?
X. Y. Z.
Mob roc Item.
Plenty of rain, and ground iu good
order for fall plowing.
Miss Mary Pagsley of Genoa is

Wallace Woodyard of Wheeler
county has purchased the sorghum
mill and fixtures of Mr. Kerr.
Rev. Mr. Crawford of New York,
formerly pastor of the Congregation
al church at this place, is visiting
here and occupied tho pulpit last
Sabbath.
The sociable given by the ladies
of the Congregational church Thurs
day eveuing of this week waa well
attended and quito an enjoyable
affair ; as yet we have not heard the
result financially.
Thursday, Sept. 2d, we had the
most severo storm of.thc season ; for
a short time the wind blew a gale,
accompanied by rain and hail. We
hear of several wind mills beiug de
molished aud granaries unroofed.
There was quite a pleasant enter
tainment at the residence of Mr.
Newton Friday evening of las
week; after Charley had treated
them all to water melons they trip
ped the "light fantanstic" until the
"wee sma' hours."
We had the pleasuto recently of
tasting peaches raised by N. S
Hyatt, and think they are equal to
those raised in the eastern states
Mr. H. has a fine apple orchard, also
an abuudauce of small fruit. We
noticed a fine apricot troo ho had
raised by grafting on the native
plumb. We predict that in a few
years from now Nebraska will rank
as one of the best fruit states.

four miles north of here, waa killed
by lightning last Monday afternoon.
A new pair of boots, which he bad
on, were torn to shreds. He was
buried Wednesday afternoon. His
youug wife fainted at the grave.
Those who attended the re-nnion
from this place returned well pleased
with scenes and eights of camp-life
for fan. To those who saw the
reality in the years ago, it brought
back many a sorrowful remembrance
of the fathers and husbands and
brothers and sons who marched to
death To the sound of martial music.

DIED.
(.'LARK September tftli, ISSO, :ii his res
idence iu tlii;. city, William Alfred Clark,
aged 'it years.
3Ir. Clark was born in Katport, Maine,
April 17th, 1814. His early life was spent
ou the :ea, aud tho disease which killed
him, cancer of the breast, is said to have
been caused by a wound indicted by a
pirate. For many long years he ha
.suffered, and for the last few years, e.v
crutiating torment. Doubtless death, in
his case, was prefer il.le to life.
The funeral took place Thursday troui
the Congregational churc'i, Rev. O. V.
Rice preaching a sermon.
The deceasoU was a quiet, unassuming,
honest man, respected by all who knew
him. In hit latter years, his attention
was engrossed by his disease, and his
life naturally narrowed down to a des
perate fight for existence. Struggling as
he did, patiently and with silent heroism,
he was worthy of all commendation.
Peace to his memory.
