Lydia Weaver swallowed some gas

and the little girl is all right again. It

A Nan Fonnd Dead.
Monday afternoon about half past five
Robert McCray found the body of a
young man, probably 22 years of age.
lying about a quarter of a mile west of
the U. P. railroad bridge, at the foot of
the embankment on the north side of the
track.
Notice was given to Agent Meagher,
and Coroner A. Heintz with a jurv .-on-siting
of J. C. Tiffany, O. L. Baker, F.
J. Hauter, T. W. Resh, T. McTaggart
and J. F. Berney were soon on the
ground.
The body was brought in a box car to
the city, and a thorough examination
made. There were bruises about the
cheat and hips and his testicles were
crushed; Dr. Heintz is of the opinion
that this last injury was the immediate
cause of death. When McCray found
the body, it was yet warm and Troth was
issuing from the mouth.
Sheriff Caldwell, who assisted the
coroner, took charge of the few personal
effects found. There was a letter,
stamped for mailing, directed to Miss
Anna Graham. 510 Mery street, Denver,
Col., dated at Woodburn, Neb., a post
office in Loup township. The letter was
signed by Rosie Kurth, Genoa, Neb. A
cabinet photograph if the same young
lady was found, with a ring and pocket
knife and a memorandum book, in which
was noted a reference to Sol C. Towslee
and J. L. Squires.
The remains were removed to Henry
Gass's undertaking rooms and prepared
for burial.
The jury instructed Sheriff Caldwell
to go to Woodburn and learn what he
could.
It is difficult to conjecture just how
the young man came to his death,
whether he had fallen from the car, or
whether he tried to board the train and
was thrown, or whether he had leeu
murdered, which seems likely, as there
was evidence of considerable struggling
where the body was found. It has not
leen so very long since a dead IkxIv was
found near this same place under some
what suspicious circumstances.
Two men who were on the ground,
saw the man's wounds, etc., declare it as
their firm lelief that he had leen on a
train, may lie trying to steal a ride, and
had leen kicked off, while the train was
in motion.
As we go to press, Sheriff Caldwell
has not returned from Woodburn.
- "California as it looks to me" is the
caption of an article prepared for The
Journal by J. H. Reed. It will appear
in next week's issue. In letter, he
says there are many misrepresentations
sent out in pamphlets issued by real
estate dealers. For instance, the Lima
bean crop is set down to yield from 200
to 300 an acre, when the fact is, as he
gets it from producers themselves, a
yield of 50 an acre is above the average,
and the cost of raising such crops is
usually not given at all in these ac
counts. "And then," he says, "there is
the unreasonable proportion of the cost
to the consumer of California products,
especially fruit products, absorlied by
carriage and handling as with our Ne
braska farm products. Recently tin a
day when a Columbus merchant said
California fruit was so high he could not
handle it, the owner of an orange or
chard took me through his place, where
there were bushels going to waste on
the ground. He said the price was so
low-that it did not pay to gather them.
He had been selling some at 75 ceuts a
box, holding from 150 to 200, and would
be very glad to take less. Producers
here as well as in the east, are beginning
to look into this matter more closely,
and business men. both those who
handle farm products and those who
manage their transportation, will soon
find they have had the lion's share long
enough. My health is decidedly im
proving now, but I don't like this lazy
life."
Mrs. W. T. Rickly and little daugh
ter Ruby ret urned Saturday from Mount
Cleiiimoiis, Mich., where they went for
Miss Ruby's health. Her left side had
not grown for some time; her limb ftoin
being an inch and a half shorter than the
other, is now the same length. Tlie
mineral baths she took completely cured
the excrutiating headaches to which she
was subject. One girl alnuit twelve
years of age who had been crippled and
worn a brace day and night for three
years, took baths for three weeks and
was able to go without her brace for two
or three days at a time. The mineral
water seems to expand the muscles.

avowed purpose of the commissioner of
Indian affairs to make this school the

S. H. Stevens, Hax inspector of the
Chicago lniard of trade, has issued a
circular setting forth the reasons why
tiax should be stacked. Briefly stated
they are: neglect or slight delay in
housing, depreciates the value, and
might be the cause of losing the crop;
the solubility of tlax seed in water is
such that its exposure to rain, however
slight, causes decreased weight ami
lessened value, while heavy and contin
ued rains have frequently destroyed all
that was left unprotected; the reason
why the western cultivator of tlax aiinu
ally breaks down the tlax seed market
by throwing thereon in sixty days one
half the crop, and that largely unfit for
storage, is the ruinous habil of thresh
ing from the field, for to thresh is to
sell; well dried tlax when stacked is
reasonably secure, and is in position to
yield a good return for lalior. The
sweat incidental to threshing passes the
seed to that indispensable condition
necessary to stoiage, and the seed and
straw are not broken t-o much as when
threshed out of the field. We are in
debted to A. C. Pickett for a glance at
the circular. The suggest ions are good.

--In Sunday's World-Herald we find
the following reference to a former Co
lumbus young lady, now a resident of
Omaha. It is from an article entitled
"The typewriter girls of Omaha and
their marvellous work:" "Miss Carrie
Dale clicks the typewriter at the tele
phone exchange. She is bright, very
modest and very good looking, but she
has never tried her rate of speed and
doesn't know how fast she can go. She
did not get her typewriting instruction
at a business college, but had private in
struction. She has been working about
a year for the telephone company."
We have been publishing The Ne
braska Family Journal for three years.
It is strictly what its name purports; is
all reading matter, 7ti8 inches of good,
solid literature of pleasing variety once
every week. All who pay for The Co
lumbus Journal one year in advance,
2,00, are entitled to the Nebraska Fam
ily Journal one year as a free premium.
Sent to any address in t he United States.
Alone, The Nebraska Family Journal is
1 a year, strictly in advance. Sub
scriptions taken at any time. .
The Tmrhfr' liititntr.
The institute starts out with unusual
j promise. The enrollment of attendants
j the first day reached 54. which is larger
than usual the first day. Matters were
all arranged and ready for work, and as
the teachers were enrolled they dropped
at once into their places and the work
moved on.
Irof. Clemmons was on hand as euer-getic-as
usual, and soon had everybody
interested and in the best of humor.
Miss Sara Garrets, principal or the
Manning, Iowa, schools, is present and
fully sustains her wide reputation as a
teacher. In primary methods she has
few equals, while in 'all school work she
is ready, thorough and competent.
The teachers are much pleased with
the institute and all predict a very large
attendance during the session.

Center schools, has charge of the music.

Switchman Killed.
Wednesday evening last alwut S
o'clock, a switchman in the Union Pa
cific vards named Ben Vocht, was ratal ly
injured, on the track in front of the
Fleming. It is not known just how the
accident took place, but it is supposed
that he stumbled, tell, and was caught
by the moving train. The calf of his
left leg was cut oien, the wheels passing
along the left side crushing ribs and
shoulder. He was pinned between the
two wheels of the truck, and it was
about twenty minutes liefore workmen
succeeded in extricating him, which had
to lie done with jack-screws.
He was taken to the depot near by,
and Drs. Martyu, Evans and Clark
called to tend him. Nothing, however,
could be done except to relieve his pain
by opiates, and he died at 12 o'clock.
He had been here about a month,
coming from Grand Island. He was
about 20 years old, and was to have lieen
married in two weeks to Miss Anna
Redingtou of Lincoln.
The remains were taken to Sanliorn.
la.. Thursday, for interment, accom
panied by Mrs. and Miss Redingtou.
