can, as hay is likely to be a high price,
with scarcity at that.

An accident occurred to a freight
train Saturday night near Platte Center,

From a Nebraska exchange we clip
the following, omitting the name of the
place. It suits any locality we know of
just now, as a matter of fact: "The farm
ers hereabouts are bringing their hogs
in every day and getting them off their
hands as rapidly as possible. Without
feed hogs are poor property and every
body has begun to realise the fact that
feed is going to be very scarce."
Attorney General Leese and Secre
tary of State Cowdery took a freight
train for Milford this morning on the L.

When just outside the yard limit a pas
senger train ran into their train. They
came back to town and took a new start
a little later in the day. They say there
was no excuse for the passenger running
into them as it did and it was pure
criminal carelessneae. Friday's Lincoln

We write this item Monday noon.
The sky is overcast with clouds, strips
of blue appearing here and there; a few
drops of rain have fallen during the
day; air is cool and moist but yet no
rain to quench the dry earth and vegeta
tion. The following evidences of in
creasing moisture are given us as indi
cations of the coming rain: water has
lately risen in the wells; young trees
have shown unusual growth the last few
days, evidently drawing more moisture
from the ground; there was a heavy dew
Sunday morning, and a light sprinkle
Monday morning. Will all signs fail in
dry weather?
A bat in tho electrio light globe at
the crossing of Olive and Eleventh
streets the other morning attracted con
siderable attention. The creature was
making strenuous but ineffectual efforts
to get out of the globe, but the smooth
surface was too much for it; the look of
excitement and seeming anxiety for
freedom seemed almost human on the
tiny face. Will Rickly improvised a
cage and carried the "bird" home. It is
something wonderful the number and
great variety of insects that are found
every morning in these globes, attracted
the night before by the very brilliant
light.
Miller Bros, have sold their dry
goods establishment to L. Tinkel of
Holyoke, Col., consideration about
316,000. Barney Miller retires from
business, and it is understood that John
will be a member of the firm of W. F.
Slater & Co. The Racket store will be
removed to a larger building. O. C.
Shannon's report that Miller Bros, had
given a bill of sale for their stock for
$9,000, is not correct, at all; the contract
of sale calls for a piece of property in
Holyoke that is worth $9,000 and a bal
ance of $7,000, two-thirds cash down,
and one-third approved notes running
thirty days.
If counties, precincts, townships,
cities, villages and school districts are
contemplating public improvements,THE
Journal would suggest that right now
is a very excellent time to enter upon
the work. It can be done with a double
benefit; like Charity, it will bless them
that give and them that receive. One
of the best uses of intelligence and
wealth, is the power to provide opportu
nity for labor during times of trouble,
distress and calamity. The general pub
lic, wealthy corporations and individu
als, will be consulting their own inter
ests by having needed work done or
begun now.
Just now is good time for the
business men of the city to look after
their special interests, and urge those
whose duty it is to put into first-class
shape the roads leading into the city.
Nothing adds to business, like good
wagon roads and bridges. The latter we
now have in every direction, let the
roads, to and from, be put into shape,
and we will see much benefit result.
Wasn't there some agreement or ar
rangement entered into before the build
ing of our south-side bridges that cer
tain parties in Polk county would look
aftar the roads there and keep them in
good order for travel? Now would bo a
good time to have such work done.
The name of tho man found dead
last Monday week near tho west end of
the R. R. Loup bridge, was Frank H.
Hartford, son of Harrison Hartford of
Merrick county. Miss Kurth said that
Sunday evening, about 5 o'clock was the
last she saw Hartford alive. He intend
ed to walk to Duncan and take "a train
for Fremont. He was seen as late as 10
o'clock Sunday night sitting on the
railroad platform at Duncan. He told
some one there that he was going to
board a train for Fremont. These facts
Sheriff Caldwell learned on his trip to
Woodburn, and the coroner's jury de
cided that Hartford came to his death
from bodily injuries inflicted in a man
ner to the jurors unknown.
Wm. Courtney of Polk county was
in town Saturday morning on his way
to Omaha. In a few minutes talk, he
had quite a bit to say of old times here
abouts. After settling down on a home
stead with his family he had just 25
cents in money left He remembers it
well because when he came to Columbus
one day (it was twenty-five miles, but he
always liked to deal here), his wife told
him before he started that they ought to
have a broom: but when he came to
price them they were 35 cents, which
was 10 cents more money than he had,
and it didn't occur to him to ask for
credit of a stranger. After several years
he related the incident to J. P. Becker,
when Pete remarked: "you didd't tell
me that 25 cents was all the money you
had, or I'd a given you a broom." He
spoke in the highest 'terms of J. P.
Becker, and said that there were a host
of the old settlers in Polk county who
had received favors of him which they
would never forget.
We learn there are several little
items going to show that Slawinski
came to his death by foul means instead
of only by drunkenness. Among these:
it is said that a man who accompanied
him from one of the saloons to the
"White House," a notorious house of
nrostitution, has talked considerably
about Slawinski, and always speaks of
it as "before he was murdered," and
such like expressions; that a railroad
conductor of the passenger train said
the next morning that he saw three men
pull Slawinski off the platform of a car;
that a few days before his taking off
Slawinski had purchased a piece of land,
the deed for which he had on his person,
but had not yet had it recorded that
this deed was found several miles west
of where Slawinski was found insensible
by young Keating; that the nature of
the fracture of the skull which evidently
caused his death was very peculiar (to
say the least) for a railroad wound no
appearance of a break in the flesh, a
puncture or an abrasion, and yet the
skull fractured. Public appliances for
detection, conviction and punishment
for crime should be a hundred times as
effective as they now are. The means
of individuals more nearly interested are
altogether inadequate, and the devils of
crime and outlawry should be hunted
down and punished by the public au
thorities at public expense.

Sudden Death.
Monday, Sheriff Caldwell, acting as
coroner, held an inquest over tho bodies
of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Lake, killed
by a special train on the Fremont, Elk
horn & Missouri Valley railway near
Newman Grove. The jury were G. P.
Billnps, Niels Jensen, Thus. Howard,
Henry Ellers, John Ottis and James
Connelly. The unfortunate couple, aged
65 and GO years, lived two miles east of
Newman Grove, and had started from
their heme in a lumber wagon to go to a
neighbor. The casualty took place but
a short distance from their home, und
was u itnessed by two daughters of the
victims. They did not discover the train
until very close to the track. Mr. Lake
endeavored to urge his horses forward,
but it was too late. The horses just
cleared .the track, but tho wagon was
smashed, and the bodies of the victims
were found in the wagon lxix on the cow
catcher. Death was doubtless instanta
neous, the lady's injuries being internal;
Mr. Lake's skull was mashed, one arm
and both legs broken.
They leave seven children.
The accident occurred at 11 a. in., and
the train, the special car of Superin
tendent Harris.
