- Of course, no man has any sort of
right to get drunk, but those who are
mean when they get boozy ought es
pecially to avoid it because they are very
apt to have somo bitter experience, as a
consequence, as for instance: a connner
cial traveler for a well-known Omaha
linn got on a dummy last Friday, in a
maudlin condition, and when tho con
ductor asked him for his ticket he pre
tended he had already given it to him.
The conductor insisted he had not, and
the drummer commenced to curse him
in a moat vile manner in the presence of
a number of ladies. The conductor at
first was very gentlemanly, but when
tho drunken fellow persisted in his abuse,
the knight of the punch seized him by
the collar and hustled him off the train.
Tho fellow attempted to get back on
again, and the conductor pushed him off.
The drummer fell on his face, tho cor
ner of a tie sticking him in tho eye. It
is thought ho will loose tho sight of that
optic. So says tho Bee. There tire
many ways of losing an eye, but this one
seems so utterly useless that uno won
ders why men have brains and don't use
them to better purpose.
D. 15. Perry, president of Doane col
lege, Crete, Neb., was in the city Thurs
day last and during the afternoon visited
our High School and examined the Senior
class and expressed himself much pleas
ed. He stilted that he would admit them
to the Freshman class of Doane college
without examination. Also would give
tuition to the ono carrying ofF class
honors. Tlie Columbus High School is
recognized by prominent educators
as one of the best in the state. When
such men as Chancellor Mannatt and
President Perry pass on the merits of a
school and do so favorably, we conclude
that we must have tho necessary stand
ing. The Democrat calls upon two indi
viduals of the city to assumo the role of
public prosecutors or quit asking that
the laws be enforced. By the Mayor's
casting vote at a recent session of the
City Council, (for which tho Jori:.VAL
commends him), tho chief of police was
directed to report on the state of facts
assumed to exist hero by Speico's reso
lution, and if tho chief of police fails to
do his duty perhaps another chief can
be found who will. If not, why not?
It ib a little too late (or too early) in this
matter to call upon the poste comitatus.

- The LSurliiijitoti route is makim,' a
remarkable record on tho shipment of
ttock from tho west to Chicago. The
problem of ettin the stock over the
hundreds of miles lyin between the
farms and the Chicago markets in the
best condition and iu the shortest time
is beiiif,' very successfully solved by
them, one shipper assertinj,' that in a
recent trip his cattle lost tifty pounds
apiece less in shrinkage than was usually
tho case with his shipments by slow
st ayes. The .Burlington Ifawkeyo of tho

the run of one of these trains, some of
tho distance being run a mile a minute.
