Only three months has elapsed dnce they opened for business, and it must be confessed that their statement is very encouraging and a credit to the institution. It proves that the public in general is aware of the reliability of its stockholders, who give its patrons suffiicient guarantee of the solidity and responsibility of the "Commercial." There is no question but that they are in the front rank, and have already given evidence of the pros perous future before them. 1 The State Fair offers Class K Ed ucational, premiums in each of 29 differ ent lots.

Monday night word was brought to town of a fearful tragedy enacted on the farm known to all this section of the state as the Senecal farm, three miles northwest of this city, and occupied now, by Charles A. Dumkee, as a renter. Sheriff Martin C. Bloedorn, acting as coroner, summoned a jury, who with Dr. F. J. Schug, as surgeon, proceeded to the premises to ascertain all the facta in the case, 'occupying the night in their inves tigations and returning to the city at 3 o'clock yesterday (Tuesday) morning. The body of Carolina Dumkee was fouud in the south room of the dwelling, near the front door, the left half of head mashed in, a fearful cut across the base of the skull, bruises elsewhere on the body and a cut on the right arm as though received while trying to ward off a blow. Mrs. C. A. Dumkee's injury consisted of a cut 2J-2 inches long on the top of the head, a fearful gash and a slight frac ture of the skull. The jury, Messrs. Theo. A. Helmig, II. C. Carrig, A. J. Clother, Ed. E. William son, S. A. Weddell and Lynn Snodgrass, say: "That the said Carolina Dumkee came to her death on this 9th day of April, 1888, about 8 o'clock p. m., by blows on the head with a club or other instrument in tho hands of Albert Dumkee, said in juries being a fracture at base of skull, also left parietal and part of frontal bones, believed by this jury to have been wilfully and feloniously made by Albert Dumkee." The facts having any relation to the tragedy are, as near as we can learn, about these: Mr. and Mrs. Albert Dum kee separated in Michigan several years ago, she going to Germany, he staying in the United States, working at his trade, stone mason. Last fall, the son wrote to his mother offering her a home here with him. Un expected by them, the father came, pleaded penitence, and was taken in, but his quarrelsome disposition again developed into threats of violence; he told her that the graveyard was not far away and was abusive in many ways, making life so disagreeable that, at the son's solicitation he went away, his son giving 825 to sustain him until he should get work. About five weeks ago h re turned, legged to be taken back, said he had no home and made protestations of good will towards the family and solemn promises to behave himself, whereupon he was again received. On Monday last at noon, his temper was so violent that his eon told him he could not have him any longer upon the premises. He de parted, all supposed to stay away. He was seen in this city about 4 p. m. At about 8 o'clock while Charles Dumkee and Albert Luth (who works on the farm for Charles) were at the barn doing the chores, the elder Dumkee put in an ap)earance at tho house, attacked Anna, Charles's wife, with a club, knocking her down and she says striking her, she thought, three or four times. At the timo of his appearance she had her bale in her arms but let it drop. Screaming, she somehow got out of the door and the men hearing tho noise rushed to the house; the elder woman, Mrs. Carolina Dumkee, wife of the murderer, was found as above described, and in the darkness the murderer escaped. Tho young woman who came so near being killed is 22 years of age, "the elder 54 or 55. The family, excepting the murderer, are well-behaved, agreeable and reasona ble; the murderer is represented as being a faithful man to work, industrious, etc., but one of those creatures who allows his anger to rule him; at a suggestion that he was insane, one who knows him well declared there was not a particle of evidence of that, it was simply a fiendish disposition when angered. Besides sending officers in sear u of the murderer, Sheriff Bloedorn h tele graphed in every direction, Bent descrip tions of Dumkee and offered a liberal reward for his arrest and detention. His description is as follows: name, Albert Dumkee, German, talks broken English, age 55 years, is about 5 ft, 8 in. high, weighs about 165 pounds, light mustache, gray hair, has a Boman nose with a scar full length of the nose on top; wore rubber boots and striped pants, pants on one knee torn and stitched together, heavy brown sack coat lined with red flannel; shirt, blue and of home-made cloth, black hat with wide rim; is a mason by trade. It is to be hoped that justice will be meted out to the inhuman butcher, wh so fiendishly murdered the woman he was in duty bound to love, cherish and protect from harm. Later. Harry Newman and Thomas McTaggert tracked him from the house in the direction of Stevens's timber; thereupon a company consisting of John Huber, Frank Anderson, Col. Bob With ers, F. J. Brock, Henry C. Carrig, Frank J. North, L. G. Zinnecker, Bob Hemp hill, Doreey Burgess, C. E. Conaway, Fred. Marty, Theodore Helmig," Harry Newman and Thos. McTaggert was or ganized, scoured the timber and secured him about 3 p. m. yesterday. He has confessed to the murder, and is now in jail. James McAllister, jr., of Meadow Creek, Montana, son of our townsman of the same name, was in California this winter, and returned home March 26th. From a letter to his father we are per mitted to take this extract: "Just got home yesterday and find quite a change in climate as it is storming here today; still the Golden state isn't entirely per fection, as some claim for it, as it is raw and chilly there in the rainy season and people use as many overcoats there as anywhere, and I believe rains in the winter time are a little out of place for health and comfort, and while there are many fine places there and a great deal of wealth, yet poor people are in the ma jority and appear to have as hard a struggle as anywhere else, and it would be impossible for them to get land in any favorable location. Very few people made anything from the products of their land, even when it was a low price, and now aince land has become so enor mously high it would be folly for any one to think of farming for profit; but rich people can build up beautiful homes, have all kinds of fruits and nuts growing around them in time, but those who have invested all they have, in land and buildings, will have to rustle to make a living."

Mrs. Charity Kelly of Oconee wsis in the city several days last week visiting old friends. Although she has passed the three score years and ten and is nearly four-score, she retains the privi lege of the aged to be as cheerful as the youngest, enjoying not only the reminis cences of her early life in Ohio, but also the serenity of her later life in Nebraska. Her many sincere friends and admirers will wish her many happy years yet of her earthly pilgrimage. Bev. Powers had a rather bad bruise over his left eye the day after election, but he didn't get it at the polls. Riding a skittish horse from Central City, at a turn of the road when the horse shied first one way and then the other, the bridle rein was involuntarily pulled up quick and tho horse's head came up sud denly against Mr. Powers's forehead, with the quick result of a bunch as big as a potato. If the Journal could have recorded this little episode last Wednes day, it would have saved the good par son many moments or valuable time answering questioning looks and ex plaining how he came by such a bruise. Arbor Day Among the School. Sup't. Cramer is sending out circulars containing suggestions and program for Arbor Day, (which occurs on the 23d), to the teachers and directors of Platte county. The fact that nearly all school houses stand on unornamented grounds, bare as the naked prairie, gives point to the suggestion. Trees are nature's own protection and ornament, "the hospitali ty of the landscape." Once properly planted they grow on for years, and long after the fostering hand that started them on their career is forgotten, still shed their blessings all around. Every school lot should be planted to trees. If teachers and directors grant a holiday to the children, and see that a supply of small trees is on hand, tho pupils will take pride in planting, and caring for the trees when growth begins. The following trees flourish well al most everywhere in Nebraska: elm, ash, 6ycamore, soft maple, yellow cotton wood (vastly superior to the common kind), plum, Russian mulberry, hack berry", seedling apple, seedling pear, ca talpa (speciosis), ailanthus (tree of heaven), white willow, horse chestnut, etc. Of the evergreens, American arbor vita?, native cedar and gray pine will flourish under adverse circumstances, if the roots are not exposed to the air or sun in transplanting. A half hour's exposure, as a rule, is fatal. This is the weak point with all evergreens. The other varieties of evergreens are not re liable without especial care, and better not be planted. These varieties can be had at almost anynursery in sizes suit able for planting, at very low prices; the co6t of trees is trivial. Notice to Owners of Dog. Notice is hereby given that after May 1st, 1888, all dogs not licenced and col lared aB required by law will be killed, wherever found running at large. Thomas McTaogekt, 51-3t Chief of Police. Notice. Notice is hereby given that no bills will be allowed by the' Board of Educa tion unless accompanied by a written or der from a member of the supply com mittee. David BcgurBAOH, Pret. City Coaacil. At the meeting Saturday evening last, the old council adjourned sine die, after bringing to a finish the business on hands, and the new board, all present, (the new members, 0. A. Speice, I. Gluck and C. H. Sheldon having qualified) proceeded to organize choosing C. H. Sheldon as president for the ensuin? year. The following applications for saloon license were presented and referred to a special committee consisting of Gluck, Segelke and Fitzpatrick: John Graf, Wm. Bucher, R. Brandt & Bro., V. A. Macken, P. Hoppen, Geo. Wandel, P. J. Schmitz, J. P. Abts, Joe Hengeler, Stephen J. Ryan and Geo. Wagner. To the same committee were also re ferred the applications of C. B. Stillman, A. Heintz and C. E. Pollock & Co. for druggist's permit. The report of the Police Judge for March showed that five men had been fined for drunkenness. During the past year tho judge had collected and paid into tho treasury from fines collect ed 8148; police fees 843.65. In the month of March he disposed of 21 tramps Bont them on their way. The report of tho Chief of Police was similar as to the number of arrests, etc., with the addi tional remark that the 21 tramps arrested were in the county jail over night. The city treasurer's report showed the following on hands April 2d, 1888, in the various funds: General $ 45 42 Endowment improvement ssi 8poal sidewalk 6 50 Interest water-bonds 672 11 For maintaining waterworks 678 57 Licence . 5t) W Btrevta and highway . Special mina'l Special police Total 58 h6 251 M S9 00 .$ 2311 hi Water bonds City briditu bonds $ 1 37 rti 3000 00 $ S1S7 01 The total amount paid out since the last report was 81,821.45, of which 81,632.62 was interest on water bonds. On motion of Fitzpatrick the Clerk was instructed to notify the publishers of the Journal and Democrat that bids for the city printing for the next year would lie received by the council at the next meeting, Tuesday, April 10th. Gluck offered a resolution fixing the amounts of occupation taxes on certain businesses and directing tho city attorney to prepare an ordinance in compliance with the terras of the resolution. The resolution was adopted by a vote of four to two, Fitzpatrick, Gluck, Speice and Sheldon voting aye and Segelke and Schreiber, no. It is not understood that the action taken is final on this subject, and the figures may be modified. Mr. Gluck's resolution embraces some forty classes of business, the largest amounts being, for saloons 8250, drug-stores with permit to sell spiritous and vinous liquors 875, bankers, brokers 835, whole sale liquor dealers 825, hotels that charge more than 81.50 a day 815, and from that down to 82.50. We will probably bo able to give in next week's Journal the sums as agreed upon by the committee. If any change is to bo made in the ordinance as passed some timo ago, it will doubtless bo made before May 1st, tho time that ordinance takes effect. COUNCIL BRIEFS. Quite a number of interested sjecta tators were at the meeting of the new council Saturday evening. Whitmoyer's motion of thanks to the mayor for the able manner in which ho had presided over the conncil tho past year was followed by a fervent speech from the retiring councilman of the Third ward. The Colonel paid a hand some compliment, too, to the members of tho council, that was fully merited. One of the resolutions passed asked for bids, and Councilman Gluck re marked "toll them to make their bids on a cash basis." Tho new clerk, Falbaum, took hold of matters like an old hand at the business. Walter Phillips, who has been doing tho work for the late city clerk, D. Dowty, has made a very efficient recorder of the deeds of the council. It strikes the Journal reporter that it would be an excellent thing for citizen tax-payers and voters to attend, at least occasionally, the meetings of the coun cil. Now that tho warm weather has come, and the soft side of a pine board in the country lumber yard is a warm enough place to roost, the peregrinating loafer, otherwise known as a " tramp," has taken up his line of march through the country. In some communities it will be with him like it was with Csosar of old, he will come, see and conquer; in others, they will not recognize in him an angel unawares and will arrest him as a vagrant, and set him to work at breaking stones, grading streets, sawing wood, etc. In all places, at all times, his presence will not be wanted, his foul I body will be unwelcome and everywhere he will be told, either by look, gentle word or rough order to move on, get out of the way, abscatulate, vamoose. It is passing strange that men (there are no women among their order), should take up with this kind of life, where they must certainly loose whatever little self respect they ever had. It must be that a considerable portion of them are sim ply continuing the life led in youth, when they were allowed to roam where they pleased, without any particular dis cipline, nothing to do but fish or hunt, sit on logs, chew tobacco and of course drink whisky; without any of the cares of life, furnished money occasionally by too-indulgent parents, and so here they are, "on the road," many of them "smart" enough to do well and make good citizens, IF their force of will had not been frittered away by going deeper and deeper into the mire of bad habits, instead of retracing their steps at the first misadventure and learning what is best to do by doing the first good thing that is nearest to be done. "Preachers in Politics." Rev. Snider attended the recent prohi bition caucus and no other, helped nomi nate the ticket and voted it straight. He was the only minister of the city, we be lieve, who did either the one or the other. Revs. Rice, Powers and Griswold were at the republican caucus (as were a num ber of prominent democrats), and, so far as we remember, took no part in making nominations. Rev. Powers, at the meeting called by him for Monday evening week, exhorted citizens to vote the prohibition ticket. We have been unable to learn that any "preachers" were at the democratic caucus, either as spectators or other wise. Nobody makes anything by lying, even about preachers. A large line of the latest and lead ing styles of the season will arrive Fri day from Chicago, at the Leading Mil linery store. Look out for it. J. C. Fillman. One of thelady council in that now famous town in Kansas is an aunt of Mrs. A Anderson of this city, elected to th office during her absence from horn.

("Repairing neatly done, on short notice, and at low Prices. Call and see me F. H. RTJSCHE, 25jan93-tf Oolvimlyus, Netoraslca.. Look into the advertising columns of the Journal for the invitations of business firms. They want your trade, or a share of it, they tell you SO, and tho ' man who is free to invite you to come and see him, knows he has goods that will satisfy your needs, and at prices that will bear inspection. This is the case every time, because he meets the demands of intelligent people, who know what they are doing and just about how much profit the dealer makes on his goods. The rustling dealer knows the value of printer's ink and doesn't do like the little boy who was Bent to town with potatoes in a sack to sell, and came home with tho sack unopened and not a potato sold. His mother questioning him, wanted to know why he hadn't sold the potatoes. Why, he said, nobody even asked me what I had in the sack. The man whose advertisement you find in the Journal tells you what he's got, invites you to come to his place, ex amine his goods and at least price them before yon buy, and you can rest assured that you will save money by dealing with him. The reason is he acts on business principles in overy step he takes and recognizes the fact that his interests and those of his customers are t mutual, so far as their dealings go. To use a current expression "the nimble sixpence gets to the front" and not so much because it is small, as because it is kept actively in motion. School Board.
