Miss Carr, living about four miles

by her mother, she told what she had
done, and a doctor was sent for, whose
efforts soon placed her out of danger.
She had not been well, and a thoughtless
remark made auch an impression upon

learn from the Humphrey Democrat,
which prints the truth to counteract
fake reports in circulation.
The reports from Boone county
since the storm have been growing
worse as the facts are being gathered.
The greatest destruction was in the
western and southern part of the county,
and in a greater part of the strip affect
ed "not a vestige of crops is left, hardly
enough being left to indicate that a crop
had ever been there. A large part of
the county looks as though it had been
newly plowed. Large numbers of farm

Datum were lost and at met accounts
had not been found.
Feats of strength and endurance are
interesting to people generally for the
knowledge gained in the training of
athletes. Thw fact will perhaps account
for the wonderful interest taken in the
late prize fight and it is astonishing
how much people know about the train
ing of 8ullivan and KOrain, their habits
and style of living. Now, if there were
more of this in the land so that all of us
would be "noble specimens of humanity"
physically, the probability is that there
would not be the rapt worship of prize
fighters, there now is.

Saturday last Dr. W. G. Galbraith

Some months ago George had a tumor
removed from the calf of his leg, but the
operation did not atop the trouble, and
since that the bone has been decaying
until it was thought best to amputate
as above stated. When the tumor was
cut out George objected to taking an
anaesthetic, and did so this time, ss he
wanted to see the work done, he said,
but it was used, and we are glad to learn
that he is doing well since the operation.
A tin box in the form of a brick was

Thursday night last about ten
o'clock, J. R Drinnin's barn (about 150
ft north of his residence), was struck
by lightning, the fluid descending
the board gable into the sod wall, pene
trating that at an angle, striking a mare
in the hip producing death. Her mate,
a mule, standing in the same stall, was
also killed, but showed no signs of the
stroke. Two other horses in the barn
were knocked down, stunned, but not
killed. The loss falls pretty heavily
upon Mr. Drinnin; he had an'insurance
of $900 on six head of horses, but these
were decidedly the best and his main
reliance. -He lost a horse about three
weeks ago, and in the six years of his
residence in Nebraska, lost an average
of one horse a year.
Nebraska is all right Her solid
foundation of course is agriculture and
stock raising. Nebraska's farming pop
ulace are here mainly for the bettering
of their condition, incidentally for their
health, of course. As they have increas
ed in worldly goods, they have added to
their improvements, in dwellings, in
barns, in breeds of stock, in everything
that goes to making a farm valuable.
No man need imagine that because every
farm does'nt have a large brick dwelling
house, a large barn, a fine orchard, a
hundred head of cattle, twenty horses,
two or three hundred sheep, fenced
fields and tame grass in abundance that
it isn't because farmers are not aware of
the advantages named. The farmers of
Nebraska, their good wives and children
are striking their best licks on practical
lines, and success is theirs in large and
increasing quantities. As conditions
alter, so the work on our farms will
change. The time has come when he
who can, should put every acre of his
tillable land under cultivation, institute
a thorough system of rotation of crops,
including meadows and pastures of the
tame grasses. Something must be found
(perhaps the clovers) to stir the under
soil and make the seed-bed deeper, thus
increasing the capacity of the soil for
holding moisture, making it more pro
ductive and more certain in its returns,
year by year.
There is now no doubt but this sec
tion of Nebraska can raise fruit in abun
dance and of good varieties. Of all that
is raised elsewhere in this latitude
peaches is probably the only exception
to what can be produced here, if they
are an exception, which we will not yet
believe, for we have seen as fine peaches
as one would need to look at raised in
Omaha, and under similar conditions
they could be raised here. But apples,
plums, cherries and the small fruits,
there need be no lack of them. The Ord
Quiz quotes A. Ward of that vicinity as
saying, while showing the editor some
fine twigs of cherries, and telling him
that he has a number of trees that have
borne well this year, that "when people
begin to take care of their trees they will
find that fruit will do as well here as
anywhere." We fully believe that and
there are a good many ways in which
trees may be injured or destroyed, every
one of which must be guarded against
in order to secure success. One of the
first is to have fences so strong that no
stock can break into your orchard; no
careless man should be allowed inside
the enclosure with a team and plow; the
trees should be well mulched, summer
and winter, and effective means taken
against rabbits. Those who are first to
work for fruit are the ones who will be
successful. We cannot hear refrain from
saying that Judge Higgins, on his splen
did piece of real estate in the' eastern
part of the city, made a success of get
ting fruit We know that he spent a
good deal of time and money, but he did
it well; he began it years ago with such
persistent determination to succeed that
hisvery example has,to our certain knowl
edge been of very great value to this
section of the state. The late Vincent
Knmmer did much toward the same end.
Judge Hudson is another and John
Stanffer still another man of the same
sort J. H. Watts has a splendid apple
orchard he knew his man and got good
trees to begin with, losing only a very
few, but Mr. Watta'a carefulness was a
necessary factor in his success. We are
told that the Behlen's have had excellent
sBveceas with fruitNowif aomebodywould
give for Thb Joubxai. some pointers on
raising fruit, they might fall into good
ground, some of the younger people
might be induced to work' for their own
good and that of their country m plant
iag fruit trees. What a country this
weald be if all farmers had orchards
like Jadge Higgias's or Watta'a.

see their possessions or a portion of
them annexed to the town or city. If
there was not some such law aa this, the
limits of cities and towns might be so
prescribed as to prevent the growth of
communities. But wherein does the
law do good when, after annexation, the
owner still refuses to sell for any pur
pose, at any price, and also refuses to
occupy? Once inside the city limits, it
seems that the same soil can be held in
definitely for speculative purposes, ex
cept it might be wanted for public use.
Some of our exchanges have suggested,
the necessity for a legislative enactment
to reach the evil, but it would be diffi
cult to say just how this could be
reached by a statute. A portion of Mrs.
F. Gottschalk's forty acres has been
annexed to the city of Columbus, but
she sees no necessity, of any kind, to sell
the same or any part of it and so it re
mains, for all practical purposes, so far
as the extension of the city is concerned,
that is the erection of residence or busi
ness houses, the same as before annexa
tion. So that some things can be done
as well as others.

SWISS-AMERICANS.
Taey Speak Their Miaa ea Protest Caapli-
eattoaa.
At a meeting held by our Swiss-American
fellow-citizens of Columbus and
vicinity in the German Beformed church
July 14th, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whbbbas, The present complications
between Germany and Switzerland may
seriously endanger Swiss neutrality and
independence, therefore.
Resolved, That we cordially sympathize
with the federal council of Switzerland
and the Swiss people in general in their
attitude towards unjust and improper
interference of a foreign power with the
internal affairs of Switzerland, as well aa
with their ready accession to the just
demands of Germany as regards the
federal police power.
Remlved further. That we, as citizens
of the United States, with enthusiasm
bornof fervent love for cherished re
publican institutions, promise to petition
our state and national government in
case of necessity, to interfere in behalf
of our sister republic across the Atlantia
Natiee.
Those having claims against the es
tate of the late John Bickly, deceased,
should present them, at his late rest
deaoa, to the undersigned, for payment
Those indebted to the estate will please
come forward and pay, between this and
August 1st, 1889, as I am authorized by
power of attorney from the heirs at law.

But we'll grievously regret it
When we try to sleep again tomorrow morn.

The state encampment of the Uniform
Bank, Knights of Pythias, at Columbus,
was not the success that the friends of
the order hoped for. The Columbus
Knights made elaborate preparations
and expended a large amount of money
to make the affair a success. It was ex
pected that fully 3,000 Knights would
be in attendance, and there was barely
500. However, those who did attend
were royally entertained, and will long
remember the Columbus encampment.
