It is coming to be understood how
to dehorn cattle, and a good many are
taking advantage of the knowledge to
secure hornless beasts: "There is a
little button on the calf's head that is
loose and slides under the pressure of
the finger, which is the germ of the horn
and if it is taken out no horn will ap
Iear. It can be done during the first
three weeks by making a small slit and
scooping it out"
A very peculiar and almost fatal ac
cident occurred Monday evening to Miss
Jennie Wiseman, a young lady about 17
years of age, who is employed in the
family of Geo. E. WTillard of this city.
While at work over the cook stove she
was taken with a fainting spell and
fell forward with her face on the hot
stove and there remained until concious
uess returned; although being burned
in a fearful manner, we learn that her
injuries are not necessarily fatal.

jump down from the window silL Tak
ing her pistol she went out of the store
into the alley to scare him away. The
supposed boy going farther away, con
cluded to return. She warned him to
go away, and told him if he came a step
nearer she would shoot him; but- he
came nearer and the pistol wouldn't go
off and to add to his crimes, he snatched
the pistol from her and ran off with it,
firing two shots within a block or two.
All the young lady employes of the es
tablishments were absent at the Hospital
Fair.

On Saturday last Ed. Dwyer, well
known to many of our older readers as a
citizen of Boone county,departed this life.
Mr. Dwyer had been sick with typhoid
fever for some time, but we had not been
aware that his illness was considered
dangerous. He was a man of many ex
cellent qualities, frank and manly, both
in bis likes and dislikes. He believed
in his friends, lived for them, and, no
doubt, if duty called, would have wil
lingly, freely, given his life for them.
Nothing was too good for Ed. Dwyer's
friends, and the sentiment was recip
rocated by them. No man, who for once
saw the inner beauty of Dwyer's nature,
could ever forget what a man he was.
We never knew anything of his life prior
to making his acquaintance years ago in
this state, but he must have been highly
educated his faculty for writing or
talking was unique, exceedingly pictur
esque and attractive.- Peace to his
memory,
Look Oat.

David Anderson the veteran live
stock dealer of Columbus whose very
name has been a household word in
almost every family in old Platte and
adjoining counties for these many years,
has sold his buildings, yards, hog and
grain trade, etc., to Rickly Bros., and
will in a short time locate permanently,
with his good wife, in the marvelous and
fast-growing city of South Omaha,whero
he has secured large property interests.
Mr. Anderson is one of the old pioneers
of Platte county, having moved here
from Philadelphia in 18G0, and resided
here ever since, following the live-stock
apd shipping business successfully, for
the last fifteen years. He has been what
the world terms a great "rustler," and,
through indomitable and never-tiring
energy and activity, succeeded in estab
lishing pne of the best and most reliable
stock markets in the state. The citizens,
the business interests and the fanning
cdmmunity in general will sorely and
sadly miss our old friend. May success
attend him. Anderson's activity and
push, lost to Columbus, will be a gain
to South Omaha.

Establish It.
Columbus needs all the manufactur
ing interests she can command. Any
thing that will use tho raw product we
can raise here and find a ready market
within five hundred miles of us is what
we need, and what we must have to
make Columbus the city she ought to
be. -Among the many lines of enter
prise that would fill these requirements
is sugar works. An item from Ft Scott
Kansas, gives this account of an enter
prise recently started there which bids
very fair to be a decided success. There
is no reason at all why Nebraska and
Columbus couldn't do as well in this
regard as Kansas and Ft. Scott
"Sugar works commenced running a
week ago to work up this year's crop of
sorghum cane. The result so far has
been wonderful, and it has been demon
strated that sugar can be made very
profitably from sorghum cane. From
104 to 110 pounds of first sugar, twenty
pounds of second and ten gallons of
syrup is the average product from a
single ton of cane."
An Oneaa Contest in Monroe.
Tho traveling salesmen for the Wes
tern Cottage Organ on one side, and the
Sterling, and Story & Clark on the
other, met at the residence of A. Guiles
in Monroe twp. one day last week in
contest. A medium Western Cottage
organ was first pitted against a Sterling,
which was re-enforced by a Story &
Clark.
Mr. Guiles, the proposed purchaser,
and the agent for the Sterling, selected
Mrs. R E. Wiley as the expert to judge
between the instruments, the selection
being approved by the agent for the
Western Cottage. Mr. Guiles said he
would bny whichever organ Mrs. Wiley
should determine to be the best, if it was
worth 820 more than the other. The
instruments were very thoroughly tes
ted by Mrs. Wiley who pronounced the
Western Cottage Organ much superior
to the others and gave her reasons there
for. -The Western Cottage challenges com
parison with any other organ in a fair
contest.

A CHINESE FUNERAL.
How CelestialH are Laid to Reat in America.
Nationai, City, Cal., Oct. 26th 1887.
Ed. Journal: Time and again I have
tried to select some subject to write up
on that would be of interest to your
readers, and yet not be looked upon, by
them, as well as yourself,-as a "boomer"
for this country, for I assure you that
the San Diego bay region needs
but little "booming," for when you come
and look it over it speaks for itself in
glowing terms.
I will try to givo you a short descrip
tion, in my feeble way.of the funeral cer
emonies of one of San Diego's "merchant
princes," a very wealthy Chinaman by
the name of Sow Kee.
Happening to be passing within a
block of "China-town," ono bright morn
ing about 9 o'clock, and hearing a brass
band playing, and seeing a crowd gath
ering on a corner, of course when I saw
it was a Chinese funeral under good
headway, I could not but "follow the
crowd" (as "Fitz." wonld say). Arriving
in front of a large, brick store-building
owned and occupied by Mr. Sow Kee, I
saw a large crowd gather around a can-vass-covered
frame about 10 feet in
height,10 feet in breadth and 25 in length
under which the remains were lying in
state, while close beside tho elegant
rosewood casket, which was neatly cov
ered with beautiful, fragrant flowers,
knelt the sorrowing widow, attended by
two surpliced priests, (Chinese), and six
mourning "lady friends" of the deceased.
The young widow was completely en
veloped in something that looked like a
large pillow-slip made of white cotton.
The other ladies were dressed in their
finest silks and profusely decked out with
gold ear rings, finger rings, breastpins,
hairpins, Jasper bracelets, etc.
At the foot of the casket Btood several
small tables completely loaded with a
"feast,to appease the wrath of the gods,"
composed of confectionery, nuts, fruits,
vegetables, meats, etc. First there were
several dishes of nee built up in as many
fantastic shapes and figures, then alout
a dozen plates of different kinds of fruits,
and as many plates of vegetables, cook
ed and fresh. Then there were three
whole hogs propped up on their feet, ono
of them roasted to a crisp brown, and
each with an apple in its mouth. Next
were two goats, each with a bunch of
lettuce in its mouth. (It was reported
that the goats were scalded alivo to fa
cilitate the task of cleaning them).
Then there wero chickens, ducks, quail
and rabbits cooked in a variety of
styles, besides a number of stuff, resem
bling head-cheese and bologna sausage.
The whole "display" waB most profusely
decorated with gold- and silver-foil, be
sides red, white and blue tissue paper.
The altar consisted of a soap box filled
with sand, in which stuck four, large,
burning tapers, each about three feet in
length, and about a dozen more from one
to two feet long.
The ceremony begins by a high priest
kneeling on a mat before the altar and
bowing his head to the ground three
times; then lighting a handful uf small
tapers, he sticks, them in the box of sand
With the. rest; then he fills six small cups
with tea from a large tea-pot that sets
on the right of the altar, aud, with a low
bow and a muttered prayer ho pours a
few drops from each cup outo tho ground
before the altar, and after refilling the
cups he retires. Then another order of
priests, two at a time, repeat the per
formance described, above, and retire.
Next th.e. lady mourners kneel before the
altar and'gq through the same antics.
Now comes the most imposing cere
mony of all the order of Free Masons,
headed and also followed by a Chinese
band, march from their temple and
"Joss House," to where the feast is
spread, when they $ follo.w, in pairs,
the example of the priests. There were
ahqqt 200 Chinamen in the procession,
each degree distinguishable by different
colored regalias, and numerous banners
of all shapes, sizes and mottoes.
Appropriate music was rendered by
one of San Diego's brass bands, while an
interlude was played by the two Chinese
bands, said iaterladebeuif; "sweet music

Re-forming, they all inarch to the
"Joss House," in front of which stands
another feast, but much larger. The
whole scene, described before, was here
re-enacted, but with still more pomp
and display. After tho services at tho
"Joss House" wero finished they resum
ed march, psissing through tho princi
pal streets, finally depositing tho casket
in the 5th street funeral rooms, they
dispersed in "China town," tho rest of
tho day being a holiday. The ImmIv will
bo temporarily laid to rest in tho San
Diego cemetery, and after lxvoming de
composed tho remains will bo sent to
China, to their last resting place.
Notwithstanding tho fact that it was
not generally known, by tho white peo
ple, that thero was to bo a Chinese fu
neral, the noise soon brought hundreds
to witness tho affair; in fact it required
nearly the whole police force to keep
the spectators from crowding into tho
small space left in which to perform
the usual rites.
It speaks with credit to our peaceful
"City on the Bay" to say that no row or
disturbance of any kind" occurred to mar
tho pleasure of tho spectators or the
participants, for tho affair soemod :i
pleasure to both parties. o. n. s.
