fall plowing is better than spring, and
that the common way of putting in with
corn plows is not so good, anyway, lie
cause there is always some of the soil
that does not get turned over.

Harry H. Bobinson, a young man of
eighteen, who came here a few months
ago from Columbus, Ohio, and who has
been employed as short-hand writer,
type writer and collector for the
First National Bank, left the city
last Sunday morning at 4:08 on the
Atlantic express train. He leaves un
paid bills to the amount of S150, more
or less, and for some things that he got
he exchanged his check on the bank,
when he had no money there to meet it.
We learn that the great body of his in
debtedness is for boarding and clothing.
We could hope that there is some ex
planation or the matter that will set the
young man's departure in a better light
than it now appears, for he seemed well-
heliaveii and Honest.
School Notes
The attendance for the fall term, so
far, is somewhat greater than for the

and pupils aire thankful to the Board for
their consideration in this matter.
In Mrs. Ballon's room the following

--Last, Saturday night the police here
were telegraphed that train hands of
two east bound trains had seen men in
the Catholic cemetery in the eastern
part of the city, and the supposition
was that they were grave robbers. The
police went to tho premises, bnt could
find neither the men or any damage
done. It is said that the method of
regulars is to dig a hole of sufficient
size for the exit of the corpse, and then
break through the head of the coffin,
and with an iron hook under the jaw of
the corpse, pull it out of the grave, the
whole taking aliont twenty minutes, and
leaving the grave so that, without close
inspection you conld scarcely tell it had
been disturbed.

R Smith, of Oconee, in town
WTednesday,wea8ked him for particulars
of the sale of barley by him that has
lately been so much talked about, which
he gave us as follows: he had 780 bush
els of barley to sell and the highest price
he could get, offered, from the dealers,
was 27 cts. a bushel. The agent of the
Fanners' Association forwarded a sam
ple and Mr. Smith, as a result, got 50
cts. a bushel on the track for his barley,
which, deducting the agent's commis
sion of one cent a bushel, left him a gain
of just S171.60, over what the dealer had
offered him. Mr. Smith thinks that the
S171.60 is just as good to him as to any
body else, and he has a great deal of
faith in the Farmers' Association as a
business. One of his neighbors, Mr. S. S.
Sanford did better still, making 2 cts. a
bushel more than Mr. Smith did. Mr.
Smith also adds that members of the
Farmers' Association are getting (Nov.
30th) 31 cts. for corn, while the dealers
are paying 28.

Domestic Infelicity.
Julia Moore and Herman Schitterer
were married at Columbus, Nebraska, in
1885. Herman was then working at his
trade ns a barber. Julia was then fair to
look upon, the barber beheld her, be
came smitten with the maiden's charms,
and then sacrificed himself at the shrine
of matrimony. The match did not prove
to be a happy one, for the lovely Julia
had a taste for romance and travel, con-
I sequently after a short honey-moon 6he
left the barber with a woman similarly
sitnated named Abts, for Wyoming
where she remained a long time. Her
man in the meantime took a trip to
California expecting peradventure to see
his wife on the way, but she then had no
use for tho barber. She had other and
sweeter attractions than the disciple of
the razor. The barber returned to Co
lumbus last spring and began a diyorce
suit there against his wife which was
recently withdrawn, Julia returning to
Columbus, she and Herman made up
and came to Denver where Schitterer
worked at his trade in a shop, corner of
Fifteenth and Holladay streets, till he
and Julia had another out, and he left
for San Diego, California, where he is
now supposed to be. Julia then began
a divorce suit against her spouse in tho
county court alleging crnelty and deser
tion. Soon after the starting of this
suit Julia under the name of "Bonnie"
Moore married a Win. Booth, a printer,
residing at 181(5 Curtis street, neither
waiting for the termination of the di
vorce suit. Bonnie and Billy did not
get along very well together, their dis
positions being too vivacious, so they
separated for a time, and she then began
to write Billy notes, and afterwards
struck another fellow, who has threaten
ed to take Bonnie's part and wipo the
earth with "Willie. Booth's friends feel
sorry for him and say that he is ljeing
persecuted, while others think that he
was too previous. Yesterday afternoon
Colonel Deweese obtained a decree of
divorce before Judge Miller of this
county court for the fair lady without
fee or reward, or tho hojie thereof, and
she went her way rejoicing. Whether
she will persuade Willie to re-marry or
live with hor again remains to be seen.
"My son, beware of strange women,'" is
an ancient and opportune adage. Den
ver Afternoon.
We may add to the above that Herman
lives at San Diego now. expects to get
married next spring, and sends us an
invitation to his wedding.

Our readers are familiar with the par
ticulars of this case, and last week we
recorded tho fact that the Supreme
Court had confirmed the action of the
District Court. We givo the syllabus of
the decision, as it may provo of interest:
0. N. & B. II. B. B. Co. vs. O'Donnell.
Error from Platte county. Affirmed.
Opinion by Beese, J.
1. Where a cause is tried to jury and
their verdict is set aside and a new trial
granted, and the second trial results in
substantially tho same verdict, upon
which a judgement is rendered by the
trial court, and for the reversal of which,
proceedings in error are prosecuted in
the supreme court, a petition in error be
ing sdso filed by the defendant in error,
by which he seeks to have judgement
rendered on the first verdict, the action
of the district court will not be disturb
ed, it being apparent that tho last ver
dict was sufficient to cover tho damage
done on either trial.
2. The failure of servants of a railroad
company to give the statutory signals at
a crossing when running at a high rate
of siieetl and not upon the regulnr time
for the train, are to be considered in de
ciding whether such company was guilty
of negligence, and whether a person in
jured at the crossing used due care in
attempting to cross.
3. The question as to whethor a per
son injured by a passing train at a rail
road crossing was guilty of negligence
in attempting to cross, is usually a ques
tion of fact to be decided upon all the
circumstances of the case as shown by
tfWevidence. .
w. Where no objections wero made to
the instructions in tho motion for a new
trial, they cannot be considered by the
supreme court.
