After all, what life is so pleasant as
the farmer's? The writer spent a few
hours on the farm of A. C. Pickett last
week and found that all of a farmer's
life was not drudgery as some suppose it
to be. Mr. and Mrs. Pickett have a large
house with a beautiful view for about
fifteen miles in every direction. We see
no reason why our farmers cannot beau
tify their homes as well as trying to
accumulate money.
Tuesday, Sept. 10th, is to be chil

day, and to our own B. EL Henry, as a
member, is this mainly due. The chil
dren will have the freedom of the
grounds, and the best faiMlitjag possible
for seeing all that is to be seen.
Two games of ball were played in
this city Saturday and Sunday last be
tween the Lafayettes (colored) of Omaha
and our home boys. Both games were
won by Columbus, Saturday's score be
ing 14 to 1 and Sunday's, 3 to 2. The
latter was one of the very best games
ever played here, the "coons" being
strengthened by three players from
Omaha for the Sunday game, which
made it very interesting for the home
team.
Last Wednesday evening a party of
four arrived here over the B. & M from
Lincoln, stopped at the T,inAli house
and registered as J. P. Sharpe and wife
and A. S. Graves and wife, Omaha. The
police had received a message to arrest
just such a number of people and they
answered the description. It transpired
that the younger girl, 14 years old, had
been coaxed away from home by the
others, who were arrested on the charge
of abduction.
The Columbus ball team may be
able to do up clubs from Ulysses, Ar

dexterity and other hann bsTI parapher

Speaking of the Union Pacific road
the Looking Glass remarks of two gen

amiss to say that their people are gen

to be true of Conductor Fox, on this line.
We hear more praise of him from people
who travel on this branch, than is usual
in our experience, and our observation
leads us to believe he deserves it alL
Then there is no plessanter or more ac
commodating man to be found anywhere
than Jim Meagher, the long time charge
de affairs at Columbus. We have known
him during all his stay in Columbus,
and in various positions, consequently
feel free to say that he is always the
same genial, ready man, that all go to in
full confidence of his earnest endeavor
to do the right thin by everybody.
Again we say they have good men as are
often found.
Twit Jocbxll has been told by dem
ocrats that John Stauffer, the present
incumbent, would not be a candidate
for re-nomination; that he has so de
clared himself. If we are not very much
miotalrnn, this sounds KTy "old news,"
and will not do to "bank" on. The exi
gencies of party are sometimes stronger
than personal preferences. If Mr. Stauf
fer would consult his personal preferen
ces, they would doubtless lead him to
retire from his arduous duties. To be
clerk of the county is one thing; to be
recognized as the head and front and
body of a political party in the county is
a very different thing. One can be re
sponsible for his own ads, but to be
held responsible for the mistakes of a
party is a little too much.

There never has been in the entire
history of Nebraska such grand crop
prospects, taking the state as a whole, as
the present season. The state board of
agriculture recognizing this fact, is mak
ing extraordinary efforts to press to the
front in all respects. Arrangements
have been made to run excursions to
Nebraska, from all important points in
the east, during the State Fair" to be held
at Lincoln September 6th to 13th next.
The object being to show the wonderful
products of our state. Joining in this
effort, all the railroad companies in the
state, in keeping with their characteris
tic and unprecedented liberality in such
respects, have agreed to transport all
products to the State Fair free. It is
now not only a privilege, but a duty on
the part of all producers, to join in this
movement' and do their part. Let each
county in. the state make a special effort
to advertise itself at the coming State
Fair. AU public spirited, enterprising
citizens should consider themselves a
committee of the whole to this end, and
act at once, and thoroughly.
Last week we made mention of the
finrjjntr of the dead body of Balthesar
Jenni. Since that paragraph was writ
ten. Sheriff Bloedorn, acting as coroner,
held an inquest, summoning the follow
ing as jurors: A. Boettcher, John Wise,
Theo. Brugger, A. Brugger, FrecLMarolf
and John Marolf. The body was found
about a half mile from his home, as be
fore described, in tall grass, and was so
decayed that, had it not been for his
clothing, the body could not have been
recognized. The right hand clutched
the Winchester rifle and the shot that
killed, entering the mouth, had knocked
out tvro teeth and split the skull open at
the rear.
From the account of the drowning
of W. EL Paton as it appeared in Thurs
day's issue of the Fullerton Journal, it
appears that the unfortunate man had
gone into the stream to bathe. He
could not swim, and the water where he
entered was ten feet deep, insteud of
four, as before the flood. Mr. Meikle
jobn, taking in the situation of affairs,
instantly threw dff what clothing he hud
on, and, being a good swimmer, plunged
into the stream. Paton caught hold of
him and twice drew him under water.
By a desperate effort Mr. M. released
himself, but could do nothing for his
friend he was so exhausted.

shortly have strengthened themselves by
two Colorado players, one of whom is
styled the lightning pitcher. The term
lightning usually means when thus ap
plied, "swift," but in this instance some
reference may be had to rig-zagging of
the ball in the vicinity of the bat. In
any business, it is best to learn all the
facta and act accordingly.

The democrats and republicans of

At the called meeting of the town

present were Tannahill and Drinnin.

It is plain to be seen whrr the low
places are in the stubble fields, as the
great ditches are plowed by the master
wheels of reapers that cut the grain; the
harvest just passed has been the wettest
one for six years.
Eerkman Bros, are building a new
barn on. their farm near the school

George W.Westcott, while trying to
extricate his reaper from, a mudhole in

badly crushed; fortunately there was no

Stacking-is going on in this vicinity-at
a lively rate, as bundles of grain can be
seen from my chair, going up onto stacks

plowing the stubble before they have
finished stacking.
