Considerable excitement has been developed at Madison over the case of the state vs. Soulier and Born for the shooting of Dr. Kelley. It was supposed that a decision would be reached today.

We bespeak for tfiem a good turn out The school board organized Mon donday evening with D. Schupbach president, J. N. Taylor vice president, and D. F. Davis secretary. Superin tendent's report on rules was read and referred to a committee. One of the solid farmers of Platte county tells us to express publicly to John Wise his thanks for his reply to "Squire" in a recent issue of Thk JouRNAii. He says John hit the nail on the head, every time. Quite a number of frauds in the fruit-tree line have been exposed by Ne braska papers here and there. The en tire moral can be conveyed in one ex pression: order what you want of home dealers whom you know. The landing of the Wild West show at Havre was quite a sensation, the French being very much interested in the Indiana and Canadians. One of the Indians, it seems, greatly resembles Na poleon in face and stature. Chas. Wake was in the city Friday, on his way home from Norfolk; where he had been Birniir-g in a base ball contest between Norfolk and Grand Island. The two games, by the way, were both in fav or of G. L 18 to S and 8 to 4. In another place we publish a card in reply to a story of a somewhat sensa tional article published lately in the Telegram. It speaks for itself, and it would appear that Mr. Borders knows fall well how to deal with such matters. The following marriage licenses were issued from the office of H. J.

Omaha Drovers Journal, Friday. Martin OosteUo is out agF-' after his injury, which was not coseioue as reported, although aa artery was burst The accident happened by a glancing stroke of the sledge oa a spike knocking the spike out of place and striking him on the left shin, cutting to the bone. The following order has been issued by the C.B. A. Q, dated May 5th to all Agents: Notify shippers that theCB. k. Q, have refused to go into the arrange ment to make alow time with stock be tween Missouri River and Chicago. Stock will be run as fast as steam can haul it Our townsman, J. N. Taylor, has given away this spring quite a fait of hemp seed, which farmers will plant as an experiment The Fremont Hemp and Twine Co. have planted seven hundred acres, and it is growing splendidly. They are satisfied with this, as their acreage is twice as much as it was last year. Just as the weather progaosticators were predicting that Nebraska was to be aftucted with a droath, along come showers as nice as nice can be, causing even a little mad on the roads. Ton cant always tell what Nebraska weather is going to be it is safest to talk about it a day or so after it has happened. The engine to be used in the wind mill factory arrived last week. This in stitution will soon be in M full blast," and, if from the number of orders al ready received we can judge, their business is destined to be very good, at once. Columbus may well congratulate herself on the acquisition of this indus try. From what we hear, the circum cumstances of Charles Kohler's death should be more narrowly looked into. It is reported that he lay out doors all night and that the two doctors called, said that a bone in his neck had been broken. We got these items with some others from old acquaintances of Mr. Kohler. Mr. E. W. Borders, who recently came from Mechanicsbarg, HL, to Co lumbus, has about concluded to remain. Mr. B. has evidences of giving good sat isfaction in the various positions of trust that he has held. Was at the time of his departure, police magistrate of the city, and also managing editor of the Mechanicsburg Times. There is a certain man they call "Denny" for short who rumor says is shortly to be married. That's all right, Denny, but don't you know that the best way to get rid of jokers is to give them the very day and hour of the event of your life, the name of the minister and all, if you know these important particulars? Try it, now, and see. Rob. Saley has gotten up a splendid photograph of the new Loup river bridge, which every business man ought to have a copy of. It is a magnificent structure, creditable to Columbus and Colrmbus township, and this picture of it is a cred it to the artist, who deserves the thanks of the community for an opportunity to let everybody see what a structure it is. A prominent citizen of Kearney makes a suggestion that would be good for other places, as well: in the perma nent headquarters of the chamber of commerce there should be a carefully gathered exhibit of every product raised on Nebraska soil and of every article manufactured in the state. In connec tion with this matters of local interest should be on exhibit, maps, of the city, etc., etc Tuesday evening of last week the dwelling house of J. K. McFarland, near Duncan was consumed by fire, with most of its contents. The fire started at the roof from a defective flue, the chimney having been cracked by the high wind of Monday. The loss is esti mated at $1300, insured for $800. The insurance of course mitigates the loss, but cannot replace the property de stroyed. A lease of the B. A M. track between this city and David City, by the Union Pacific has been agreed upon; trains will be run through between Lincoln and Sioux City and transfer here, pas sengers going and coming, east, west, north and south. May 19th is the day that has been set for commencing the run between here and Sioux City, and it will mark another milestone in the progress of our growing city. Our motto is: Columbus for God, by the way of the cross. At the M. E. church May 19th, by the pastor, H; L. Powers, as follows: Sermon in the morn ing 11 o'clock, "Secret Prayer and Medi tation."

Mr. Webb was one of the pioneers of Nance county and has earned a lasting reputation for unswerving integrity and as an energetic and reliable business man; and his family have stood among the first in Fullerton society. We wish them a large measure of success in their new field. Fullerton Journal. Jacob Ernst, in the early years a resident of Seventh street, but for many years past, a successful farmer and stock raiser at the foot of the bluffs north of the city, has concluded to re tire from farming; so, he and his esti mable wife, the faithful partner of his prosperous career, moved to the city Monday, aad will make their home on Eleventh street opposite Mr. DeUxaa's residence. Tarn Joouya, with aT their many friends, wishes them many pleas ant years in the city. The Warren Live Stock Co. have given notice that they will apply for a nandamus asking for a return of the timbers of the Hatier townsaip THatt. river bridce to where they were.

Kehoe of Platte Center, returned last week to her home in Ontario. John H. Slater of Stanton, an old-time newspaper man, was in the city yester day, and gave his old friends of Tin Journal a pleasant call. J. M. Macfarland, Esq., was at Grand Island last week on legal business. He was compelled all the time to suffer with one of Job's comforters. D. R. Palmatier passed through the city Monday to Oconee. He had been at Chicago. He has secured a position as traveling salesman for the Osborn machine company. Edwin Hoare, the farmer appointee for the Indian Industrial School at Genoa, was in the city Thursday; he holds himself in readiness to discharge the duties of the office. Hon. W. M. Robison of Madison was in town Friday eastward bound. All of "Rob's" friends will be glad to know that he is getting strong again after the very dangerous illness that he had for months. J. C. Sprecher, the talented editor of the Schuyler Quill, was in the city Mon day morning, on his way home from Norfolk. He speaks in terms of the highest praise of Madison county's me? tropolis. Capt John Hammond,commandant of the Soldiers Home at Grand Island, was in the city several days last week. The committee appointed to investigate mat ters at the Home, found nothing out of order, and had nothing to report Hon. Orlando Tefft of Avoca was a Columbus visitor Wednesday on his way to Albion on business. Thk Journal sanctum was favored with his presence a few minutes. Mr. Tefft is one of the men of Nebraska, who in her legislative halls made a record of honesty of pur pose and ability in the discharge of duty. He was the real author of what became known as the Slocum law. Postmaster Hensley should remem ber the precepts he used to try to incul cate when he was editor of the Era, and not drive too heavy a buggy for the little horse he uses. Recently he loaned his horse and buggy to a friend who was to go fishing with him, bo that he could go to his residence and return quick, but, showing aggravation at his being so long gone, the friend was compelled to defend himself by pleading the thorough inability of the pony. It developed af terwards that it was not Hensley's fault altogether, because food had been pro vided in abundance, as a look into the feed-box showed; but the check-rein had not been loosened, so that no matter how strong the appetite of the pony, or however determined to eat, that pleas ant necessity was an impossibility to him. On the return trip, however, (we didnt learn how many fish remained uncaught), the pony showed no more signs of speed than he had exhibited in the morning, and he had had a great abundance of provender all the time his master was fishing. Hensley, however, was equal to the emergency, and de clared that the reason he pony couldn't travel fast this time was because he had too much to eat In the early days of the republic, the youth who wrestled with 'rithmetic, readin' and 'ritin', the three great R's of the educational category, recognized the boss as master, and he had to be actual ly true to name, a master at least in the sense of physical strength, to hold his situation. The men who added lfrerning to their ability to cope successfully with the big boys of the district received extra pay, at least till the school was "conquered." These words seem strange to modern ears, and just as strange and unseemly as would the pitched battle of former days in one of our modern school rooms. Since the rod of iron has gone out of vogue and the rale of reason has been substituted therefor, various have been the devices to hold the youngsters in check, the latest hailing from the Council Bluffs city schools. It seems that they have a room known as No. 13, where the very unruly in each depart ment are sent for "punishment," which consists simply of keeping them togeth er, and separate from other pupils as to recess privileges, etc. "No. 13 has taken the place of the rod and spanker."

The greatest project ever proposed for Columbus is the canal leadiag from the Lou to the bluffs to secure a water fall, oapsblt) of rsTsiahing at a low rate all the power needed ia the city for manu facturing purposes of sU kinds. Nothing that we have ever known here begins to compare in importance with this, and the sooner Columbus business men and property owners of the vicinity look after it aad begin ope rations the better it will be for all of us. The places that start in manufacturing are the ones that have the advantage always. First in the field, and keeping well up with the current of events, they travel at an easy gait the road to busi ness success, where others, coming later, may have a dtmcult and tiresome jour ney. The construction of this canal, and the inauguration of the manufacturing en terprises which would naturally follow, should bo accomplished at the earliest passible moment We have heard that the delay is be cause an engineer has not made his report Why he has not done so, we dont know. This, however, is no reason why a good strong combination can not be formed at once to do what ought to be done. Men and brethren, let us begin to da The Faarth. Thk Journal adds its voice to that of the Telegram in urging upon the citizens of Columbus to begin now to prepare for the-randest celebration of the Fourth of July -ever known to the history of Nebraska. We have the opportunity this time, sure. The nation's Natal day anniver sary occurs in the midst of the time set apart for the encampment of the Knights of Pythias, and the Fourth has been specially set apart for Columbus. Let the city do all that lies in her power to make it the great day of the encampment Gen. J. C. Cowin of Omaha, one of the most eloquent men in all the west is to be the orator of the day, and Columbus business men should add to the, attrac tive features something to make the day long to be remembered. Beginning now to make every prepa ration for the attraction of a very large crowd, and assuring to the citizens of this section a celebration wortbyof the day, of the city and of the times in which we live, Columbus can calculate on having her efforts appreciated. The Schuyler Sun, after giving the account of the death of Charles- Kohler substantially as was given in Thb Jour nal, adds: "From one who was there we are told a different story from the above in regard to Mr. Kohler's death. It seems that he got dead drunk while at Steinke's place and lay outside all night with no coat on and in the morning was found dead. Just why Mr. Steinke's folks whom it is claimed knew he was there and in that condition, should let him remain lying there all night we do not know but it is evident that such is the case. It was at the church during the services that some present 'thought he did not look like a dead man and had the doctors sent for. We are told that Mr. Kohler cannot give up. the idea but that there was foul play of some kind and the.' thing may not be allowed to . m. - .. . sWw aawav- Thk Journal learns that Mrs. Susie M. West, formerly a resident of this county, is an applicant for the position of postmistress at the town of Medford in Oregon, where she now resides, and that a strong fight is being made-on her behalf. Thk Journal hopes Mrs. West will win, because it knows that she is in every way well qualified for the position, an earnest worker in all good works, ex ceedingly popular in the community in which she lives, and possesses an unfail ing courtesy so essential to a public officer. Thk Journal wants to see effi cient republicans in office who will so conduct affairs as to compel the respect of the general public, and if Mrs. West secures this appointment there will be one office, at least, of which this will be true. The officers elect of the Columbus Land, 'Loan and Building association for the coming year are J. N. Taylor president, J. S. Murdock vice president, G. G. Becher treasurer, H. Hockenberg er secretary, C. H. Davis, George Scott, Y. H. Weaver, G. W. Bouton and John Hoffman directors. Series B is now opened and will not be closed till Sep tember 1st, 1889, so that any wishing to take stock in this people's bank can have ample time to consider. Since the organization of the association in this city, about twenty-one thousand dollars have been need here by the stockholders in paying off mortgages, in making im provements, in building residences, business houses, etc A email sum paid each week is a pleasant way of saving. Chief of Police, Thomas McTaggart, while arresting a tramp Thursday, who had stolen a watch at A. J. Arnold's jewelry store, was set upon by other tramps, and after cautioning them to keep -away they still persisted in inter fering, he fired at the crowd the bullet entering one of them, who now lies at the hospital. A policeman who does his duty as McTaggart did in this esse, de serves the thanks of the community. All good citizens regard the work of a policeman as essential to the welfare of a community, in the preservation of or der, by the arrest and punishment of those who violate the laws. It will pay any person who is willing to spend $4.00 for a gate to examine the one at E. A. Gerrard's residence in the western part of the city. It can be readi ly opened and closed by the driver, without getting out of his vehicle or down off his load of hay and raises over obstacles without additional power. Mr. Gerrard is a man of good inventive genius, sa haa been shown by several of his achievements in that line, and need ing a gate of this kind for himself, he put his wits to work, and has the best we have seen for the purpose. 48tf Dea't Farget.

A Card. MavEurroR: I hail previously learn ed that a story was being circulated among the gossipers which concerned our family, but paid little attention to it, knowing that it would soon fall to pieces of its own disconnections, but the Telegram man recently got hold of it and carefully stripping it of some of its facial incredibility, published it for the truth! Although that paper shrewdly avoided giving any names or dates, I learn that the editor privately points to us. We suppose this is one of his schemes, by which to slander strangers and innocent women. Now, there is not a sentence of truth in the whole dish of chewed hash, excepting that I came from Illinois to Columbus, which I have done more than once. If it be true that my wife advertised for a husband, the paper containing the "ad." must be lying around some place ktose or at least ob tainable. Where is that paper or what is the date? Mr. Telegram man, we will give yon one hundred dollars to produce the original of the "ad." you published, or any advertisement of my wife of a matrimonial nature. This we think will do for a starter. We will, in detail, take up all those other statements in contro versy and deal with them in a like man ner, and thus get down to business. Put things to a test and see who has lied. . W. Borders. Unas Prairie Item. Corn planting was in full blast test week and will soon be over, after which the farmer will prepare to sow grass seed. Those showers of last week have worked a wonderful change; the grass and small grain are now growing rapidly and the ground is in No. 1 condition for planting. The wind storm in the evening of the 6th did some mischief in this neighbor hood, it moved Mr. Jonnson's barn. which is just being built, several feet off of its foundation, and so damaged it otherwise, that most of it had to be torn down again; the storm also blowed down Mr. Jenkinson's windmill. D. L. Bruen is painting his new barn. John Von Bergen has sold two three years old colts to Wilde Bros, of Humphrey. Born, May 5 to Mrs. Plath a daughter, and we extend our congratulations. Christ Zumbrum has moved his house and farm buildings on the east side of his farm, and has now quite a mountain ous location. We saw in Thk Journal of two weeks ago, where our friend B. T. of Neboville is boasting of an establishment manu facturing Limburger. We noticed that those strong winds of late mostly blew from the direction of Neboville, and we think that by and by those chesemakers will need some of our "wind" to keep the atmosphere pure. Eh? Why Not? Notice. Now, ladies of Columbus and vicinity, if you want a black or colored silk for yourself or daughter awful cheap, you want to attend the Big Cheap Sale now going on at L Gluek's old stand' corner Eleventh and North streets, all other goods going at ruinous prices. We will give you more goods for one dollar than any house on earth. Nebraska Dry Goods Co. 3-2t HypertoB C. I S. C. The following is the program for the next meeting of the C. L. S.
