James Bell of David City is becom
ing famous in this neck o? woods for his
flax bufiinesB. He has fine machinery
for cleaning the seed, and this has given
his establishment a wide reputation.
From July 30th to August 13th he
paid out for fiax seed $2&925. Mon
day of last week he commenced filling an
order for 50.000 bushels of seed, to be
sent east. Thin will require 100 cars and
make four heavy train loads cf seed. So
we gather from the Tribune.
Com hi Nebraska this year will be
an extra good crop,, if we do not have an
early friTFing frost. There never was a
better stand, and the corn land was nev
er cleaner, owing to the dry weather of
early spring and the plowing under, at
the start, of the weeds. Oats is a fair
crop, flax is good and more of is raised
each. year, as farmers have found
that they can at least realize expenses
on breaking of new land. Wheat holds
its own with the average years. Potatoes,
for some reason not generally known,
are extra good.

them- for some tune. All their old ac
quaintances would s 11 know them at
sight, notwithstanding the gray hairs
that indicat- the flight of years. Mr.
Apgar, a soldier who has always had
titrable from the wound received in the
service, was reported several months ago
as not long for this world, but he was
enfovihg life about as usuaL. It is won
derful how much, suffering- such, men
have endured as a result of the- late
wicked rebellion. Every comrade in the
army who escaped bad wounds cannot
appreciate what soldiers such as Apgar
sacrificed then and have sacrificed every

Between Columbus and Genoa the
country beats every evidence of thrift
and improvement, and the towns, of
Oconee and Monroe are improving' as
befits their situation.
Genoa looms up from the cars and
presents a very fine appearance indeed.
A mental picture of the site nineteen
years ago could not be pushed aside,
and the contrast between that and this
is deep and wide. Then, the place was
reached from here after a half-day's
travel by wagon; now the swift-flyihg-trahx
greatly shortens the time, and the
track goes miles beyond- then, there
were the breech-clouted or the blanket
ed Pawnees, now, what Indians there
are, are pup s at a school, well clad, well
cared for in every way and the light of
J intelligence shines from their bright
eyes. Then, what children were got into
school were placed between two consum
ing fires the tribal habits of a mixed
life, an aversion to work on the part of
the men and a desire to roam, on the one
hand, and on the other the importunities
of the teachers, who worked bravely and
determinedly amid the discouraging sur
roundings to lead the - benighted
charge a little way up the hill of science.
T-", there were no white people in
Nance county except those at the reser
vation; now this is one of the best set
tled and most prosperous of all Nebras
ka's counties, and the white man is
everywhere. Then, north and northwest
and west of this was so devoid of set
tle 1 that bunds of Sioux would periodi
cally pounce down upon the Pawnees
ana till a few of tneir oraves: tins oc
curred so frequently that the govern
ment sent a company of soldiers to guard
against their incursions. Now, north
west Nebraska is -settled." and those of
our readers who planted the trees that
are now tall enough to shade their
houses; those of you who took your guns
with yon. to the hay field, for fear
of attack by Indians; those of you
who lived for years your nearest neigh
bors several miles away know what
meaning there is in the word "settled."
Of course, the first place visited by us
was Will Winterbotham's store, and we
are indebted to Will for a drive around
town and for one of the most agreeable
hours of enjoyment in a long time.
While stopping at his store we noticed
that while he has both eyes open to his
own individual affaire and is doing a
thriving business, he is very enthusi
astic over the welfare of the community,
and is helping to secure waterworks for
the town, a petition numerously signed,
which he presented, beingthe first move.
At the top of the bluff in the rear of the
town it is proposed to sink wells and fill
reservoirs for the purpose of supplying
water for the town. One of these they
already have, thirty-seven feet in diam
eter and 10 feet deep. They propose
with f 1,000 of the $000 talked of, to go
down into the earth 1.000 feet hoping to
find coal or something else valuable, and
perhaps artesian water. They are much
encouraged in this hope by the fact that
Wheeler county has an abundance of
artesian wells. Genoa cannot make a
better investment of money than in
these waterworks. They are the great
est inducement a community can offer
far the putting up of fine residences and
business budings, and always justify
this class of improvements because they
offer the best means for fighting fire and
also providing good water for house
hold and mechanical use.
Among old friends and acquaintances
at the Indian school are Prof. W. B.
BackuH and his estimable wife and help
meet, Ole Oleson. the carpenter, and
Edwin Hoare, the farmer, and the work
of all of them, we learn, is ft rst-clasH.
One man, a practical fanner,, said that,
although it was late along in the season
when Mr. Hoare tookchargeof the farm.
the crops are in good shape.
Mr. Backus is away north endeavoring
to secure from the tribes some sixty more
pupils for the school, there now being
HO from, the Fonca, Flatheads. Winne
bago, Sioux and Arapahoe. Owing to
the defalcation of the former superin
tendent. Mr. Backus and all his assist
ants have been laboring- under great
drawbacks and hardships, which only
those who know can fully appreciate.
We think the "powers that be" should
remedy some of these evils at the very
earliest moment.
A stock company has been farmed at
Genoa and the erection of bu drags be
gan for a creamery. The plant will cost
about $7,000, and the company win use
the centrifugal process for ma-r-g- but

creamery, passed through, the machme.
the butter being almost instantly ex
tracted, and the sweet ifTtr sold to and
carried backbythe farmer. There are
two other creameries of the kind msuc

ou ue aurmg toe service. xe ser
mon-lecture was on the Johnstown
disaster. He first gave some incidents
of his trip as far as Jbhaatown. Speak
ing of that now unhappy place he said
that the site on which, it was located
was grandly beautiful, nestled among
mountains. He described,, fix detafl. the
appearance. of the town before the flood.
its streets, magnificent places of busi
ness and manufacture, its great churches,
et .dwelling upon the fact that it was
uie greatest mannnuMnnng ana com
mercial town of all . the mrHrntaf- region
and that there was so much of business
that the proprietors of the mill thought
they must be kept going day and night,
and every day it was a thronging hive
of humanity. What he related as de
scriptive of the disaster was mainly the
unpaa kmed language of those he inter
viewed while there. He talked with, the
lady who had, one after another, placed
her seven children on floating- Umbers
and with prayers for their safety,, sent
them adrift on the flood, doing the best
she knew, and she never saw them
again. The house in which r was,
broke away and she managed to get
upon the roof, floated eighteen miles
and was saved. He spoke of friends of
Mr.Lohr who perished, and saw V .
Devlin. Dr. Evans's sister, who gave a
very touching account of the loss of her
young daughter and of Mrs. Dr. Wilson
(her sister), also of Dr. Wilson; of a gen
tleman who had lost wife and cildren,
business property of great value and
also his residence, an swept away by the
flood; of an aged physician. 75 years old,
who lost the earnings of a life-time, and
yet went out ou foot to minister to the
wants of the afflicted. Mr. Powers's de-
neati on of the fearful flood, its heart
rending incidents as given him by sur
vivors was so impassioned that there
was scarcely a dry eve in the audience.
He said that the thousandth part of the
story could not be told it absolutely
beggared description. He says that
Johnstown is in complete ruins and he
does not think it wiU ever regain its
prestige. Of an the people swept away,
the bodies of 7,002 have been recovered
from the debris. The flies are terrible;
hotels are merely boards nailed up
loosely, and the tables at which guests
stand and eat are made of rude boards,
and flies are everywhere. A fall hour
was taken up in intense and rapid and
exciting delineation, the large audience
giving very close attention to the
speaker.

W.D. Dnvies was born in Eiist McE 5a a,
Me June 2d, 13. His parents came
from London. England. At the age of
nine his mother died, after which he
traveled as a companion to an English
gentleman through the countries of
England, Ireland. Scotland and Spain.
He remained one winter in Gibraltar,
then traveled to the West Indies where
he stayed three years, then to America,
traveling in different places and finally
settlh ig m Scott county, la.; there he
married his first wife, and there also he
buried his first wife and three sons.
Three years later he married MTn
Helen Thurston who now mourns the
loss of her departed husband. They
started from there with an ox team,
bound for Denver, CoL, arriving there in
July, 1850. After Uving there four
years they moved to what was known as
the Kiowa Ranch, until the Tndfnn
troubles in 186."); being compeUed to
leave the ranch, he went back to Den
ver, for a year, then to CouncU Bluffs,
L, whence he moved to this county in
the spring of IS6t, and took a home
stead, making it his home until his
death.
About two months ago he went to
visit his three sons, one each in Evans
ton and Rock Springs, Wyo- and one in
Moatpelier, Idaho. At the latter place
the deceased died August 3d, at 11:30 p.
m. His remains were brought to Co
lumbus for burial the 6th. The services
took place at the Congregational church
at 10 o'clock. Rev. Morton preaching an
impressive sermon.
He leaves a widow and four sons to
mourn his loss.
The deceased was an honest, upright
man, faithful l an things and unrvers
aUy respected. The word lovable is very
seldom applied by one man to another,
but would be appropriate m this in
stance.because the man whom Mr-Daviies
respected, he had affection for, not a
mere speaking acquaintance, but a desire-
to benefit, and his hearty manner,,
unobtrusive kindness and thorough in
tegrity win. long be remembered by
those with whom he came m. contact.
Those who knew him best, loved him
most. Peace to his memonr.
