made a success of their water supply,

have been put into this pond. The
other three acres of pond will be filled
-with water,and bathing booths provided,
while the west end will be kept pure as
from the well, and be used in winter for
the harvesting of ice. The banks will be
planted with willow, and the place hand
somely ornamented is every way. The
street car railway, it is expected, will
be constructed to the Lake, and in a few
years the property will be an excellent
investment for the stockholders and
property owner it that locality.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Hess, of
Duncan, was the scene of a very pleas
ant gathering last Saturday evening, the
occasion being the return of the sons,
Fred and Henry, from Omaha, accompa
nied by their friends, Messrs. Hummel
and Dieffenbach, of the same place.
Quite a large number of their young
friends had gathered to welcome them,
and under the hospitable management
of Mr. and Mrs. Hess the evening was
spent most pleasantly, Miss Lillian fa
voring those present with some very fine
musical' selections. Judging from the
facts that Fred arrived, minus his hat,
and that his baseball, bat, mask, and
gloves had to be recalled by means of
the wire on their way' to Grand Island,
we decided that his mind must' have
been occupied with the thoughts of the
meeting with some particular lady friend.
Are we right? Sunday morning the
Omaha boys assisted by W..B. Backus
and others played against the Gardner
nine, the result being a score of nine to
six, in favor of the Omahas. For fur
ther particulars concerning the game of
ball and a certain bruised up nose, we
refer to Byron Dieffenbach. The gen
tlemen, with the exception of Fred, who
remained till Monday, returned Sunday
afternoon. On the journey down we no
ticed Byron was the possessor of an ex
cursion ticket marked "good for Satur
day only." We presume "parting (with
his best girl) was such sweet sorrow"
that he prolonged it just a little too
long.
An eastern exchange whose ignor
ance of the subject iB somewhat striking
says that people will be safe from
cyclones if they live in brick or stone
buildings. It doubtless is true that
ordinary strong, straight winds can be
successfully resisted by stone or brick
houses, if well constructed, but really
for a cyclone we would prefer the cellar
of a frame house, because the probability
would be that the frame would be car
ried away, while the brick would be
more likely to be crushed and the walls
dropped into the cellar. To either of
these would be preferable, an under
ground cave built up of frame, stone or
brick. We believe that no structure
above ground could be made to with
stand a first-class cyclone, the pyra
mids of Egypt might come as near to
doing so as anything known to human
mechanism, but we have a notion that a
No. 1, genuine, first-class cyclone would
move it from its base as easy as a boy
could kick an egg.
Reuben Butler of Ohio, a former
resident of Schuyler, is visiting old
friends in this section. Mr. Butler had
an extensive law practice, and traveled
sometimes a good way from home.- We
are reminded of the following story:
with horse and buggy he started for
some place north, and when on what is
now known as Grand Prairie (Stearns
Prairie) darkness overtook him, and he
stopped for the night, sleeping under
his buggy. In the morning, after day
break, he opened his eyes, yawned, arose
from his grassy green couch, and beheld
a fellow-countryman driving an ox-team
towards Columbus. "My good man,"
said Mr. Butler, "can you tell me where
I am?" "Oil, yes," said the countryman,
with a broad smile on his face, "I can
tell you where you are and who you are."
The answer of the country-man was too
good for Mr. Butler to keep to himself.
We refrained last week from pub
lishing the action of the prohibition con
vention because we were informed that
the secretary was requested to furnish
the papers with the ticket, when it was
certain that those nominated would ac
cept The secretary has not yet come
to time at the Journal office, and we
herewith proceed. The following per
sons were named: Treasurer, W. A.
Way; clerk, H. P. Coolidge; Bberiff, P.
H. Kelly; clerk of court, M. P. Hurd;
probate judge, J. R Smith; supt of
schools, Miss M. E. McGath; surveyor,
A. Smith; coroner, M. Hoffman. We
understand that the proposed coroner,
supt and county clerk decline to run.
A large number of former citizens of
Columbus accompanied the U. P. Band
excursion from Omaha to this city Sat
urday last, among whom the Journal
scribe mentions: Mrs. W. B. Dale and
daughters Carrie and Courtney, Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. V. Hines, R. Hartman, Theo.

The game of base ball played at the
picnic grounds Saturday last between
the C. E. Maynes of Omaha and the
Genoa teams resulted in an easy victory
for the latter club by a score of 13 to 2,
five innings. The C. E. Mayne's evi
dently overdid themselves, as was dem
onstrated by the talk at the beginning
of the game. The game terminated
pleasantly, and in fact both sides acted
the part of gentlemen. The following is
the score by innings:
12 3 4 5
Genoa 4 0 5 0 413
C.E.Mayne'B 0 0 0 2 02
Early last Bpring James Foley al
lowed a herd of Texas ponies to run in
his pasture for a short time. A few
weeks ago he turned some of his colts
into the same pasture, and quite recently
noticed that they were not doing as well
as they ought and that a suckling colt
in particular was ailing. Upon examina
tion he found them literally covered with
ticks, great big, nasty, fat looking things
as large as a small grain of coffee, and
about the same shape. Blair Pilot.
On Saturday last a large crowd from
Omaha visited this city and had a splen
did time, the main body of thepic-nioers
enjoying themselves at the Kummer
Grove in the eastern part of the city.
Everybody remarked upon the orderly
conduct of so large a number of people
promiscuously gathered together, no
disturbance of any kind occurring. Such
a company will alwayB be welcome in
Columbus.

Dear Journal: With your permis
sion, I will occupy a little of your space
with a few notes. We have had some
pretty hot weather, but it is nothing
like Nebraska atmosphere. We have
nice-rains, so ranchmen do not feel the
use of irrigation as much as in years
gone by. The governor of Colorado
was recently visited by a delegation
from your state, requesting that our
ditch companies leave the water in the
Platte river, as it is dry in their section,
and is likely to remain so, unless the
parties desist. This matter is apt to be
come an inter-state question between
the two states. It is said that our gov
ernor considers himself powerless to in
terfere in the premises.
Dr. Boneeteel and Nonis are getting
along nicely.
Mr. J. E. Munger is located in a store
on Larimer Btreet. His family, consist
ing of himself, wife and sister-in-law, re
side in the city.
I have not seen anything of George
Schram or Charlie Coan since my re
turn on the 11th of July last. I do not
know what has become of them.
Horman, the barber, could not agree
with his better half, so they have
separated again. He is at work in a
barber shop, corner of 15th and Halla
day streets, one of the best shops in
Denver.
Misses Gretta and Lucy Sampson have
not yet returned from their visit east.
The General is building a nice dwelling
on Capitol Hill. I regret to state that
his health is not very good. Our law
business iB plenty brisk enough -to suit
me, at this time of year.

To that city which gleams through the valley.
We have carried the baby, today.
And, low, in a mansion of silence
Have tearfully lain her away.
There were Bweet buds entwined 'mong tho
fingers
Of the white hands, so dimpled and fair.
Dear hand! ye shall never plead vainly
For the help love might lend, in life's care.
In that windowleaa palace of slumber.
Undisturbed by a sight, or a sound.
Our darling liee sweetly forgetful.
Of pain: while we watt "outward-bound.'
We whisper "good-bye," dear, ye hear not;
We ask of the Journey, in Tain
Yet hope, gleaming bright, through the tear
drops
Softly murmurs. "We'll meet, lore, again."
