Ono can now drive straight north to
tho bluffs from tho Monastery without
going through a single mud-hole, thanks
to tho work of road overseer Fred Blaser
and his assistants. The worst places

in, in low grades, and a deep ditch dug
for draining one bad place. It is now a
.very good, dry-weather road. If the
grader could "now go over the whole
business and round it up we believe it
would also be a fair wet-weather road.

We note a little warning here and
there, in Platte county, concerning tho
chinch bugs. Early in tho season whHe
it was dry, they vere reported bad in
Merrick and Polk counties, but after
the long series of cold rains we heard
little of the chinch bugs. They are a
very liaruy pest, uowever, anu it is not,
at all probable that they were all de
stroyed. It is not best to give over to
them, either, should they make their ap
pearance, without at least an effort to
thwart their destructive work. It is
only thus that man has conquered his
greatest enemies and his most formida
ble foes in the subjugation of natural
forces to his own designs. D. Hinnian
of Lacrosse, Wis., writes to the Prairie
Farmer saying; "I see great complaints
about chinch bugs. Tell those who are
troubled I have used common barrel
salt on corn and Hungarian grass with
perfect success. On the grass I sowed
it broadcast, about 2 bushels per acre,
and about the same on the corn tea
spoonful thrown into each hill. I put it
on when the bugs made their first ap
pearance on the crops." We have heard
of this remedy before and also that salt
Btrewn on small grain would increase
the yield. Let us hear from any of our
readers who have had experience in the
matter.
Enthnsiaatic Starter!
The greatest ratification meeting ever
held in Columbus was called together a
few minutes Monday evening, to give
expression to the approval of the action
of the republican national convention at
Chicago.
Several hundred pine boxes were
burned in the middle of the street be
tween Hughes's lumber yard and the
City Hall, the boys were busily engaged
all evening with their fire-works, balloon
ascensions, etc., the band was out to en
liven the proceedings with good music,
and Hon. Leander Gerrard, J. M. Mac
farland and S. S. McAllister entertained
the large crowd with stirring, ringing
speeches suited to the occasion.
Republicans should keep up the good
work throughout the campaign so that
Harrison can "step up to the White
House with the sledge-hammer of pro
tection in one hand and the anvil of in
dustry in the other, and tell Cleveland
that he is duly authorized to take his
place."
There was a contest of road-graders
at Cornlea yesterday week between two
machines. Granville twp. purchased a
Moore machine. Road graders are such
a good thing on general principles and
result in saving so much money that no
town or township can afford to be with
out one. They will easy pay for them
selves in the work of one season. Now
that the country is settled, fences con
structed nnd travel confined to the
public road, that road must be graded
and ditched so that the road-way will be
high and dry. Warm, dry weather is
the time to work the roads, to do it
effectually, and those who have charge
should work with an eye to what the
road will be when wet weather strikes it.
Willie Coolidge and Albert Parker
divide the first honors of the High
School, each having an average of 98
per cent, on attendance, tardiness and
Btudies during the past school year.
Each of the young men received from
Prof. Backus an appropriate gold medal

lumbus High School. Prof. Backus has
been Coolidge's teacher the past fonr
years, and during that time he has
neither been tardy nor absent once
certainly an extraordinary record.
In another place will be found the
statement of the condition of the Co
lumbus State bank, "The Old Reliable"

customers. Deposits show the confi
dence of the public, and these are
$177,718.05, while the loans show $182,
639.27, a very good exhibit for this city.

In Memoriara.
John W. Early, whose death which oc
curred Tuesday, June 19th, was an
nounced in last week's Journal, was
born in Columbiana county, Ohio, Doc.
29th, 1844. He resided in Pittsburg, Pa.,
and in that vicinity until he moved to
Nebraska in 1867. Ho was married in
East Palestine, Ohio, in 1865 to Mary A.
Rontson. He enlisted in company B,
19th regiment Ohio volunteer infantry,
in September '61 and was in the battles
of Shiloh, Perryville and Franklin, and
many othor slrirmishes. He was mus
tered out at Columbus, O., in the fall of
'63. He afterwards took charge of a
wagon train plying between Camp Nel
son and Cumberland Gap, and served in
this capacity until the latter part of '64.
He located on Shell Creek in this
county in '67 nnd engaged in fanning.
In '73 he was appointed deputy county
treasurer nnd served six years, after
wards in 9 being elected treasurer, and
re-elected in '81.
Since the closo of his last term as

Georgo N. Crawford, Esq., in the law

of ersonal friends of the deceased.
The deceased leaves his widow and
their children, Mrs. J. A. Austin, Ed.,
Kate, Angie, and Johnnie, to mourn tho
irreparablo loss of a fond husband and
father.
Mr. Early was a very generous-hearted,
sympathetic man, and his personal
friends were, everybody who knew him.
He had friends because ho showed him
self friendly. Even his political contests
were tempered by this trait of character,
mid if any man ever came out of a severe
struggle of tho sort and yet with hearty
good-will toward his opponent, that man
was Mr. Early.
Peaco to his memory.

The exercises of the graduating class
took place Friday evening at the Opera
House, to an overcrowded house. The
hall was decorated with blooming plants
and vines.
Promptly on time, Miss Stella Morri
son played a march and the graduates,
sixteen in number, took seats on tho
stage, with the school board, Co. Supt.
Cramer and Prof. Backus.
The invocation by Rov. Griswold was
short nnd appropriate.
The song "Hail to the Queon" by tho
Juniors, was well rendered.
The salutatory was by Geo. H.Whaloy,
who showed he had a strong voice, clear
enunciation and good delivery; ho gave
all a hearty welcome and related a short
anecdote with which he closed and all
were sorry to see him sit down.
"Tho Bud and Bloom of Life," by Miss
Nettio Anderson, compared the flowor
with life, the showers and dews with
weeping, quoting Longfellow's "Into
each life some rain must fall."
Walter A. B. Henry gave a vory good
biography of Julius Cajsar, tho world's
great warrior.
Earlo S. Pearsall delivered his oration
in a pleasing manner, and rominded us
how much better is an educational lega
cy than ono of money, as we might hold
it in all circumstances.
EmeBeardsley gave the society, "fash
ion" loving people to understand that
the ut or the clothes or style of bonnet
are not the only things to be wished for
in this life.
"The Dawn of History" by Albert J.
Galley, showed a great deal of prepara
tion and thorough work.
"Words" was the subject of Jesso
Becher's essay. He spoke in a pleasing
manner of the use of words, their abuse
and effectiveness.
Vilk Speice showed by his delivery
that ho was well versed in tho life of
Napoleon Bonaparte.
Oration, "Sentiment nnd Feeling," was
cn iieun-reu vy iuiss iuinme xueagner.
Charles A. Sheldon then delivered an
oration on "War," giving a good de
scription of the different arms used,
saying at the last that it seemed possible
war would De made so terrible that all
would try to compromise without the
use of fire-arms.
"Writing" was the subject of an ora
tion delivered by John E. Ballon.
Among other ideas was this: Long ago
Archimedes said show me a point on
which to rest my lever and I will move
the world. Now writing proves to Im
the full cream of thought and tho world
is moved by its power. Unlimited in its
sway, fast flies the messago from nation
to nation, bearing news of peace or dis
aster, of war and death, and all tho na
tions of tho earth may sympathize in
grief or joy.
Miss Jennio A. Sacrider then read an
essay on "Memory." One thought is
this: "His mind is best disciplined
whose brain can bo brought into the
most vigorous and powerful action, tho
strong and sound mind is tho mind that
can embrace oqually great and small
things."
"Roscoo Conkling" had been well
studied by Albert G. Parker nnd his ora
tion was well delivered.
Ernest A. Gerrard showed his tasto
for good literature when ho said "To me
there is no more interesting subject than
the history of our own country;" ho de
livered his oration with firmness anil
decision.
Miss Abbie E. Drane then took the
handle and began turning tho "Crank;"
she named the kinds, and dwelt on tho
dude nnd dudine.
Tho Juniors then sang their farewell,
"Wo Meet to bid a fond Farewell,"
which was quito effective, not only to
the class but extended to the audience
as well.
Then came the Valedictory, a farewell,
to schoolmates, teachers, school board
and parents; it was very well rendered,
the gestures were graceful, and the touo
was that which is used in bidding faro
well; more than ono person's eyes filled
at this parting by William E. Coolidge.
Prof. Backus awarded two gold medals
to tho host scholars, there beincr a tie
between William Coolidgo and Albert
Parker.
President Schupbach made an appro
priate speech then awarded tho dip
lomas. Tho class motto was "Not for school
life, but for Life's school."
A number of floral offerings wero re
ceived by each pupil. Some books were
also given. Tho exercises were inter
spersed with music by tho Juniors, the
Columbus Orchestra and by tho Misses
Morrison, and addod greatly to the
pleasure of tho occasion.
As usual, tho school board for their
effective aid in all material ways are to
be highly commended for what they
have done for pupils and teachers.
Thanks aro due to Sup't W. B. Backus,
who is also toacher of tho High School
for tho lively intorest he has taken in the
welfaro of those under his charge.
