Many thanks. L. J. Baker and J. C. Kimbrell have opened a restaurant and lunch room on 12th street, opposite the U. P. depot, and are already doing a good business.

The company now have ninety-three employes who make this city their home, and four trains lay here over night. No city in the state has better railroad facilities; we do not ex cept any, and this fact is becoming well known to the traveling public Rev. Dr. W. L. Armstrong, at the M. E. church in this city, Sept. 8th, at 3 p. nu. will represent the interests of the Park Hill Orphan Home, located at Postville, this county. The Dr. is en gaged in a very praise-worthy work and deserves all needed, encouragement in the continuation and enlargement of the same. Here is a pretty good take-off. on the jury system, by the Chicago Herald: "Positions at a comfortable per diem and for an indefinite period await twelve gentlemen who are willing to swear that they don't know anything in particular and have never entertained an opinion on any subject. Apply at the criminal court." The lecture by Bev. Dr. L. F. Britt on Army Life and Experience, at the M. E. church last Tuesday evening was all a soldier could wish to bring back mem ories of army life, reminding him of the ludicrous as well as the sad incidents of the war. Dr. Britt can keep his audi ence langhmg from beginning to end, without any apparent effort on his part. The opening of the new Baptist church at Platte Center for divine ser vice will.

G. Bowman secretary, Neto Oleson, Robt. Lewis, R-E. Wiley, Ed. Hoare, Chris. MeedeL John Hoffman, C. E. Pol lock by AL. Bixby, John Wise, W. E. Kent, John Tannahfll, A. H. Ives, and Fred Fromholz. The deliberations of the committee are incorporated in the call, printed elsewhere. They have been discussing quite a mathematical problem in Schuyler. School bonds, requiring a two-thirds vote were carried, 192 to 86. The ques tion was how many votes shnsri were the bonds, some saying 673, others 13f and others again 20. How is this solution, Brother Sun? 185 is two-thirds of 278. 186 votes is the lowest number of ballots that would have carried the bonds, therefore 192 leas 186, or 6 is the number more than the requisite two thirds. At the meeting of the school board Monday evening a coarse of study was adopted, which prepares pupils for a first-grade teacher's certificate, also for admission to the State University, fresh man class. It was ordered that the rulesand regulations, also course of study be printed in pamphlet form. Mr. Porter of Clarks was selected to take the place of Mr. Galvin, heretofore selected to take charge of the grammar school in high school building; Mr. Fleischer was elected teacher of German and Trin E. E. Brown returned home Sunday and walks by the aid of crutches. Wed nesday night he steped oat of a caboose at Norfolk when the train stopped to let passengers oat, and in the dark did not see until too late that he was dropping ten feet down into a slough. His spine was injured, and he may not entirely re cover for some time. Fortunately he held a $10,000 accident policy and gets $50 a week daring his disability. The Elkhorn Valley railroad company have made him a very generous tender show ing that railroad men are not without 'the ""Ik of human kindness." Perhaps one of the best cross streets m the city will be North street. If it was graded like Olive is, where it dips into the valley it would present a much handsomer appearance. When wet, we are informed that the low place there is quite an annoyance in the way of bad air. It seems strange that those more immediately concerned in such matters do not bring them to the attention of. the proper authorities. We have no ticed that prompt attention is always given to proper requests for grading, when the work asked for is within the means of the council Make your wants known to the councilman from your ward. There have been quite a number of cases recently in Nebraska of persons bit by mad dogs. Here is another, as given by the Stromsburg Republican: "Several head of cattle belonging to Daniel Darby, six miles southwest of Stromsburg, were bitten by a mad dog a couple of months ago, and some of them died. Darby was tending one of them that is yet sick, when he was bitten by the animal and had a finger badly lacer ated. There is considerable anxiety as to the outcome of the wound. It is feared that Mr. D. may be taken down with the horrible disease which baffles medical science and is sore death to ito victim. We trust the fears now enter tained may prove groundless." In last week's issue we published all we could gather, concerning; the accident more fully set forth by the Central City Nonpareil, as follows: "Passenger train No. L on the Union Pacific, ran into a freight train side-tracked at Chapman Tuesday morning at about 1:30 o'clock. The freight was an extra, and arriving at Chapman nearly on No. l'a time un dertook to take the side-track to allow the passenger train to pass, bat it prov ed too short and a number of cars had to be standing on the main line. For some reason white lights only were dis played from the caboose and as no danger signals were shown the passen ger train came dashing by as usual. The red lights were displayed just before she struck the cars on the main line, and by promptly applying the air the engineer averted what might have been an appalling catastrophe. As it was five freight cars were 'fifa in a badly crippled condition and the pansi'iimH locomotive derailed, bains; stripped of her pilots headlight, smokestack and everything; that could be torn loose. No one was hurt, bat it seems almost a miracle." Fred. Stenger, who had been in En rope three mrtnaiaj arrived home last Friday after a seven days' joorney by water and three by land. They over in the ship Gaseogne, carrying fif teen hundred passengers, aad aatng 8)00 horse power. Mr. Stenger saw Fred Matthews and George Turner at the Wild West show at Paris, and says it is a caution to see Fred on his coach when the attacking act hi done. The by Indians and the shooting by gers m the coach and by the TWKti. until the air Sb filled with saaoke, makes one of the most mVtmf scenes of the great show, and there no end to the cariosity of European people, to see the Indiana, the buffalo, the fine shooting, and the wonderfai-riding- that the Wild West people do- Many days - great crowds are turned away froaa. the show for lack of rooaa.

He dropped like a stone. This took place at about 10 o'clock in the morning and at 4 the same afternoon he was dead. Donovan had been in Kearney about six months, and had been employed as a laborer on the various improvements in West Kearney.. The family lived in a tent near where he worked. He was about fiftBrvears old. When here, they lived in the southern part of the city and from here went to Omaha. Vancile gave himself up to the police. The remains of Donovan were brought here Saturday and from here conveyed to their last resting place near Shelby, Polk countv. A Narrow Eeaae. F. C. Green had a terrible accident happen him last Friday morning about 8 o'clock. He was cleaning their gaso line stove, and had emptied the tank of gasoline, into a large pan, when it acci dentally caught on fire. He tried to throw the pan out to keep the house from burning, but as soon as he got near the door where the breeze reached him, the blaze completely enveloped him. He had presence of mind enough to keep his mouth and eyes closed, thus proba bly saving his life. They finally smoth ered the blaze with a quilt, but both arms were burned to the elbow until considerable portions of the flesh fell off. A large place on his neck was burned, extending up his left cheek to his left eye, burning his whiskers and eye lids nearly off. Mr. Green is conductor on the B.iE between Columbus and Atchison. He will probably be disabled for several months, but is getting along as well aa could be exDected under the skillful treatment of Drs. Martyn & Schug. Edctob Journal: It seems strange to me that The Jocbxai. and the Telegram have no word of condemnation for the Sentinel in its tirade against the busi ness men of this town, simply because they do not see fit to advertise in his paper, which has jnmped into a place where there was no more demand for it than there is for three wheels to a train ings cart. Columbus has been support ing for now nearly twenty years The .TauBNAL. always reliable, fair and trust worthy, and for sixteen years the Era. Democrat and their lineal descendant the Telegram, and these papers have very fairly represented the best interests of the city and managed to live upon the patronage received. Evidently, they have not got rich by their business. More than this, the business men of the city have supported the Wochenblatt for several years, and in former years they patronized five newspapers at once in the city, well knowing at the same time that they could not all live and thrive. Now, affairs are different, business is done on a smaller margin of profit than formerly, our territory is partly cut off, and I must say that it shows decided cheek in Bixby to call names because we do not rush to him with big advertise ments far a paper that has virtually no footing here, and is only a crying baby a few weeks old. so to speak. Insteud of cursing the town and its business men, Bixby ought to quietly take-a-turn for the better, and if he can not wait patiently for the favors thnt rightly come by tame and honest labor, then fold his tent and carry it away to some town that is built to suit his pecu liar style of so-called journalism. As a business man of the city I have got tired of Bixby's importunities and of his slanders against Columbus, and I pro pose, with your allowance, to continue saying something about these until he quits it, or ceases to publish Mb sheet. It wouldn't make so much difference here, because his paper has a small cir culation, but his slanders are rehashed by other papers that happen to be al ways on the watch to say something against Columbus. The last Madison Chronicle has something of this sort and this is what riles me. For one, I have now concluded tc keep an advertisement in one paper, at least, all the time, and when I feel able to do more than that, I shall select the one that in my opinion, best deserves my patronage and that of the business men of the town, and it won't be the Bixby Sentinel unless it gets a new move on itself. Business. In referring to what our correspond ent has to say above, we must be allowed to remark that it has always been the policy of The JotroNAi. to allow its con temporaries to run their business in their own way. We have held the same theory with business men of the city. It is their own affair whether they spend much or little for newspaper work. Of course we have our opinion about adver tisements, but we never did and we never will throw stones to bring them. If "Business" has anything further to say he should remember that what de serves to succeed will succeed, and the very fact that we are all here is evidence that there is something for each of us to do.
