Aa Iafcnal Deed.
Saturday night last, supposed about
1 o'clock, two unsuccessful attempts
were made to burn the Clother House.
It is a three-story, frame building, re
cently enlarged and in good part refiit
ted, and, on the night referred to, con
tained, guests and all, about seventy
five people, so that the infernal enormity
of the crime can be imagined. If the
fire had got under headway as intended
some one or more would probably have
lost their lives. As it chanced, there
was not much damage done, but no one
can look at the debris of the two at
tempts, and have a kindly feeling for
the villain who would even plan such a
deed, say nothing of its attempted ex
ecution. In a room on the second floor, a pile
of papers had been laid on the carpet;
kerosene had been poured on these and
set on fire, burning through the carpet,
and through the hay under the carpet
to the floor. A looking-glass ten feet
from the blaze was cracked from top to
bottom; beds, walls, etc were fearfully
blackened; a gale was blowing in at a
window open on the south side, and it
was almost miraculous that the house
escaped destruction.
The second attempt was made in the
cellar, under the dining hall; kerosene
had been sprinkled here, too, and some
sticks saturated with the fluid and lit,
but had not burned much. The fluid
was probably an extra good quality, had
blazed up quick and gone out as sud
denly. Nothing was known by the proprietor
of the hotel, of the attempted arson, un
til about half past eight Sunday morn
ing, when the room was entered.
Monday afternoon Geo. Jenkinson
was put under arrest, on suspicion of
having committed the deed.
As we go to press, the decision of the
Justice has not been given.
E. D. Fitzpatrick, whose heart ever
boils with true patriotism, and who is a
true friend of the children, has assumed
the task, with the assistance of his little
friends, in preparing a program for the
Fourth which is novel and interesting.
The morning program will consist of a
game of foot ball, frog race, sack race,
foot races, climbing greased pole,etc,etc :
valuable prizes by Mr. Fitzpatrick will
be given to the victor in each contest
The afternoon exercises consist of Na
tional song by little girls under the
management of Miss Helen Stockdell;
reading of the Declaration of Independ
ence by Master Burke Bowman; song by
choir of little girls; Fourth of July ora
tion by Master Willie Anderson, the ex
ercises of the day to conclude with bal
loon assensiou and fireworks.
"Fitz" is entitled to a great deal of
credit for the generous public spirit he
manifests and for his patriotic zeal.
A New Enterprise.
Thursday last the organization of the
Nebraska Real Estate Trust was com
pleted by the election of the following
officers: President, L Gluck; Vice
President John P. Becker; treasurer,
A. Anderson; secretary, H. Hockenber
ger; Board of Directors, D. T. Martyn,
J. P. Becker, J. Welch, I. Gluck, A. An
derson. The capital stock is $80,000
with power to increase to $400,000, and
we understand that fifty-two per cent
of the capital stock is paid in. The
principal place of doing business will be
in this city; the business of the Trust
will be the buying, selling and improv
ing of real estate and borrowing money
thereon, in any county in Nebraska.
There is abundant room and work for
such institutions and no doubt this one
will pay a handsome dividend to the
stockholders.

late of Columbus, Neb., now deceased,
proof of death having been filed with

CoL J. M. Emery of Le Mars, Iowa,
is in the city, on business. He was a
Union prisoner at Andersonville for
fifteen months, and gives a very clear
cut word picture of the cruelty of the
rebel officials at the prison pen and the
sufferings of the unfortunate men who
were in their power. Iowa papers speak
of a lecture by the Colonel on Anderson
ville that would be an eye-opener to
those of this generation who have no
appreciation of the horrors of that pris
on pen.
The Banker's Life Association of
Des Moines, la., is undoubtedly the In
surance Co. that is nearest perfection of
any doing business. It has accumulated
a fund greater in proportion to its risks
than any other association, and this is
pledged with the State Department for
the payment of claims arising under its
certificates. Its methods are dictated
by good, common sense, and its affairs
conducted throughout on sound, busi
ness principles. 1
It has been reported (whether ma
liciously or by mistake I do not know),
that I had sold out and was out of busi
ness; I wish to inform all that I am here
to stay, and they will find me at the
post office, and as I run the only ex
clusive confectionery and fruit stand in
Columbus, they will always find every
thing fresh and nice.
Yours Respectfully,

Base Ball.
On Sunday afternoon last quite an in
teresting game of ball was played on the
grounds in the south part of town be
tween the Genoa and Columbus nines
and witnessed by a large crowd of spec
tators. The teams seemed to be very
evenly matched until tho sixth inning,
when by a serious blunder of the Genoa's
our boys succeeded in piling up six runs
and kept the lead until the close of the
game.
Dave Loeb made the best hit of the
game, knocking the ball over the center
fielder's head, making a fine run of the
bases, but called out at the home plate.
Bert Arnold and Henry Wiseman did
excellent work in the field for the home
team, as did Bear at short stop, for the
visitors. Louis Kramer, one of the
scorers, intimates that the newspapers
would not be doing justice in reporting
the game did they not refer in glowing
terms to the brilliant playing of Banker
Green who covered second base with the
ease and activity of a bird called the
turtle.
We learn that a return game will be
played at Genoa shortly.
Below we give a record of the game:

To oar Agents and Friends.
We are informed that our competitors
are circulating documents showing il
lustrations of what they represent as the
Steel Buckeye Binder, and that they are
endeavoring to create the impression, by
means of this device, that we are build
ing for the market a 6teel machine, and
that we are palming off upon our cus
tomers in the west our stock of Wood
Frame Binders, and withholding from
them machines of our latest pattern.
We wish to assure you that there is
not a word of truth in any such state
ment The Binder department of our factory
has been running the entire season ex
clusively on Wood Frame Binders,known
and advertised as the Light Draft Buck
eye Folding Binder.
We have no other Binders in the mar
ket Nor do wo propose to abandon an
acknowledged and triumphant success
for what is still a doubtful experiment.
This piece of dirty work on the
part of our competitors is a further
evidence to us that the "All Steel"
Binder men are not meeting with the
success in capturing the trade that they
anticipated, and recognizing the fact
that tho Buckeye Wood Frame Binder
is out-selling them on its merits, they
take this villainous method of misrepre
sentation, hoping to deceive the farmer,
and secure a portion of the trade.
Reports from the south, where harvest
is already in progress, show that the
Buckeye is starting off satisfactorily to
all, except our competitors.

I had not for several weeks prior to
my departure from the west seen George
Schram or Charlie Coan. The last time
I saw them they said they were out of
work. Mr. W. S. Anderson, the half
brother of J. E. Munger, Esq., informed
the writer, that the latter was on a ranch
near Denver.
Misses Colvin and Kernan, the latter
a cousin of Mrs. Charles A. Brindley,
are stopping in Denver for a season.
Miss Colvin's health is not good, and
she came west from Chicago on that
account Miss Kernan intends to visit
Columbus again shortly and remain
several weeks.
Marshall Smith lives at Cheyenne.
He comes to Denver frequently. His
wife is there being doctored. The last
time I saw him, he said that he might
have to come back to Denver to live, as
he considered it the best place for Mrs.
Smith to be, that he knew of. Doctor

America, the "empire of the setting
sun" posseses the "largest tenant farming
class now furnished by any nation," a
quarter of a million more, than in Great
Britan and Ireland. Illinois has more
tenant farmers than Scotland. The
number of "tenant farms" in Nebraska
in 1880 was 11,419-. See North American
Review for January 1886, pages 61 and
63.
Miss Gretta Sampson graduated with
honors in the early part of the month of
June at the Denver High School. I
think that I can 6ee the mother's living
in her children. No person in Denver
had more friends than did Mrs. Samp
son in her life time, and, what is better
yet, she deserved them. The "soul
stirring" words of Doctor Moore at her
funeral are still fresh in my memory,
and I sincerely trust that they may al
ways remain so.
When I left the "Queen city," Norris
G. Bouesteel was there with his cousin
Dr. Bonesteel, looking for a job. He
said that he was likely to remain in the
city for several months. The doctor's
business is increasing all the while. It
is pretty hard to catch him in his office,
as he is "on the go" 6o much. He has
recently invested $5500 in Capitol Hill
lota, a very desirable part of the city.
Elmer Sheets is studying medicine with
the doctor. Archie is quite a boy, and
is a great help to his father.
Since my arrival here, I have seen
"Bud" Newman, the county treasurer,
and John Stauffer, the county clerk.
Mr. Newman seems to argree with me,
that the tax-payers throughout the
county need all tho light that they can
get; that it would be a good plan to
publish statements concerning the
financial condition of all the townships,
with reference to delinquent personal
and real taxes etc if he could; that he
has two hundred and six different ac
counts to keep, including the various
state, county, school districts, town
ships, city and village funds; that the
town treasurers might figure the matter
out, and he could furnish them the nec
essary data. Mr. Newman said that
parties living in Bismark and Sherman
know their standing in that regard. I
have seen no statement in print, touch
ing the subject. The light ought not to
be bidden. Whether the parties referred
to are officials of these townships, or
not, I am not advised. Treasurer New
man makes a good showing as to the
manner in which he has saved the county
compound interest, on the L. & N. W.
bonds. I was very glad to hear Mr.
Stauffer say, that he intended, some
time, to figure out the cost of criminal
proceedings to the county, during the
present year. This year's estimate for
court expenses is ten thousand dollars,
and Mr. Stauffer thinks that a good deal
of that will be used for that purpose.
It is strange that the Board of Super
visors have not before now ordered the

During the late spell of dry weather,
many farmers with long faces could be
seen leaving their wagon wheels at the
shops to have the tires set, and at the
the Burue time having doubts about the
outcome of their small grain. It was
not an unusual thing to see a farmer
going to the shop with a cottonwood

smile of satisfaction. No sooner had
the recent heavy rain fallen, than the
long faces were removed and a smile
clapped upon the farmer, making both

leave it by jumping and catch the bar of
