The Musical at Mrs. C. K. Cham bers's Monday evening wasso interesting that one delegation didn't get home until about eleven o'clock. A constituti jn was adopted, ami we understand that occasionally the society will invite their friends to be present. The ladies are enthusiastic over the progress they ate making in the art of music. Hiram Lewis with his four horse team or greys, took a party of a dozen or more out to W. O.

Genoa Leader. The youth" win. is at the head of the Platle Center Argus, has been "mon keying" in .us business ever since he started, by endeavoring to create a prej utlice against Columbus, Columbus en terprises ami Columbus business men. Fveiy candid man who has read his pa per has noticed this, and it has leen done from the first, with a selfish pur pose in view. On this piejudiee he would build Tor hniiBelf. but he will find it a foundation of sand. A. M. .lenuings is getting to lie .piite a pedestrian, but we imagine that his last feat was much more a matter of necessity than of choice. He had the trip to make from here to Newman Grove, ami thought he would wait until the tracks were clear, so didn't start out until Tuesday of last. week. At Hum phrey his travel by ear stopped and after laying owr a day, he concluded that, the aboriginal method of travel was lietter than waiting and so started out afoot and in live hours and tluee seconds reached the Giove. Itev. W. S. Hunt preached Sunday afternoon to a large congregation, his remarks lieing especially directed to young men. He had sent out inquiries to thirty young men, asking them why they didn't attend church, and his re marks were suggested by the answers. One who was present says that among the reasons given in the answers were: "That parents do not attend church: that it is smart to lie tough: that he couldu't lielieve the doctrines: that the class of people who attend church are not what they should be: that there was too much preaching of eternal punish ment." The reverend gentleman's re marks created more than usual interest. -A few friends of Mr. and Mrs. .Tas. Warner assembled and surprised them at their residence on east Ninth street, on I he night of the 14th. Among those who assembled were Mr. and Mrs. Wat kins and daughter.

Geo. is doing a vvoiulei hilly tine business at South Omaha as commission merchant. John Myers, the chief job artist of the Lincoln State Journal, passed Sunday with friends in the city. Mr. Myer is probably not excel let I iu the state for taste ami ability to build up a tine piece of work with the types and other print ing paraphernalia. We telievr t hat he is cabbie of standing at. the very head of his profession in this line, if he had the material at hand. The Journal has always felt a pride in Mr. Myers's pro gress, because it was in this office that he Unit developed a talent for printing. - An intelligent observer of public matters says that, the hue and cry -riodically raised against politicians has a good tleal of injustice iu it. So long as this is a republic there will lie a class of men whose time will lie mainly devo ted to public matters, for which fact there are several reasons, viz: somebody must attend to those things; some take more interest in such matters than in anything else, and by reason of that in terest, make them a study and become more or less expert, therein; it is natural that this aptitude should attract atten tion and therefore receive recognition; as no man can afford to work for noth ing, the ambitious seek the remunerative offices, at the disposal of their fellow citizens. Now, it is true, he says, that there are some dishonest politicians, just as there are some dishonest men in other businesses, but this must be looked for so long as men are fallible. There is too much injustice done to men in office, many of them being denounced without any just cans1, simply because it is opu lar or seems so, to think that men iu office are necessarily dishonest. The teacher's meeting at Platte Center last Saturday is reported by those in attendance, as being quite suc cessful, notwithstanding the condition of the roads. Alxnit twenty-live teachers reported, and perhaps an equal numler of other persons. Many of those on the program could not reach the meeting, but their places were supplied by others, and some interesting discussions took place. Miss Lydia Bloedorn, Miss Mary Kesseuger and Mrs. D. I). Lynch ren dered some line music, which was much appreciated. The audience, led by Prof. Hess, sang several appropriate selections. Miss Xellie Lynch and Miss Kate F. Carrig. each recited a selection in an artistic and very interesting manner. Miss Dawson of Columbus read a well prepared paper on the "Incompleteness of Educational Work." Superintendent Cramer sjioke at length from copious notes on the two lines of study that for mental discipline as embodied in arithmetic, algebra and grammar, and that for information as iu the i. itural sciences. He showed how, by simple means within the reach of all, nature around should lie studied in all our schools. Expressions were called for from those present which awakened a free and interesting discussion, greatly enjoyed by alL Opinions differed largely I as to means, but the general theory of the superintendent seemed to be ap proved by those present. Profs. Carroll and Hess, Miss MeGath and Miss Free man and others took a lively interesUin the discussion. The next meeting will be held in Humphrey. Prof. Carroll, D. T. Dickinson and Miss Cassie Cain con stitute the committee of arrangement. Friday last, the coroner's jury inves tigating the death of Mrs. Fanny C. Cowles at Clarks, rendered a verdict that she came to her death caused either by smothering or sudden shock having such effect upon her heart as to cause death, from the hand of some person or persons unknown to this jury. The jury recom mended a thorough investigation of the matter by the proper authorities, and say that they "believe such murder was feloniously done." Last week it began to be rumored that Mr. Cowles had mur dered his wife, anil that there were a number of facts that -Hunted in that di rection, one of which (which was sup posetl to furnish the motive), was that her life hail leen recently insured by him for STi.OiHi. The writer lxcame acquain ted with Mr. Cowles a good many years ago. and while knowing but little of his family life, has good reason to lielieve that he was among the model husbands. While on his way to Omaha last Mon day, Mr. Cowles was put under arrest at this place, by Chief of Police Taylor, under inst unction by telegram, to an swer to the charge of murder. He seems the same truthful, candid man he has aLwavs been. Wrathir IJtqitirt. lJeview of the weather near Genoa for the month of January, 1S.U. .M.'.ili teiniieratitre of the month ... .

Johnnie Curry, who has lieen delivering hay in the burgh the past week, had the misfortune to break his tongue with his four horse team, near Martin Beagan's last Friday. Cvc Mll-S. Shell t't-rek ;iraiiiii;t. Snow, snow, snow. During January a man in these parts often caught Hies on the south side of his house for his mock ingbird, and now he has a mound of snow in his yard fully ten feet high and still there is enough left for all his neigh Iiors. One neighltor said: "I am not mad at the snow." Suppose not, why the far mers are all wonderfully glad of it. It seems to have inspired them all with new. bright hopes, and of course, when the farmer Imxiuis everybody else may rejoice, and vice versa, if he languishes everybody else has to face it. This snow is lietter than if all the fields, meadows, pastures and gardens had been manured. Let everybiHly thank Clod and take courage. A little trip northwest gave the writer a look over the country. The Hen rich farm on Shell Creek has lieeu divided up into four smaller farms, two on the rail road and two on the school land. The old man sold everything on long time and a low rate of interest. The school house of district No. 31, has been moved about a half mile south nearer the center of the district -a good move. A little daughter has made her advent to rejoice the hearts of Frank Sholles and wife. Mr. Win. Bloedorn had scarlet fever in his house, all seven children being more or less affected, and also the hired girl, but all are safely over their trouble. Why don't the authorities have a snow plow constructed and shoved through the snow to break the roads? Two planks joined together in the form of a V the opening about eight feet apart -a beam fastened by a coupla of eyebolts w Saw the Xirkrl.

A gentleman well ex perienced in the business has taken a view of the premises, prospects and promises of a Itonus, and is now con sidering what he will do. Have not learned what his conclusion is or will lie. Some expect quite a boom at the burg with the opening of spring, since the trains are run so sparingly and incon veniently for travel to Columbus. There is considerable complaint on account of t hat ainongcountry people. Some think of the ofteu-talked-about B. - M. branch up Shell Creek. Will it come?

B. plow on foot, but Finnatnore and Camp bell were forced out for coal last Monday and succeeded iu getting a hod full or two home with a four horse team. Fred Jewell had three shoats buried iu the snow for four days without food or water; he reports them doing well considering the scarcity of ears ami tails. Mrs. Waggoner, who hail suffered a stroke of paralysis, is slowly recovering. We presume the Warner Live Stock Co. are experimenting on the fattening quality of snow as we notice their sheep corralled aliout a quarter of a mile from their hay with mountainous drifts of snow between. x.

Joe Tiffany and that irrepressible Fra zier were here Thursday offering goil prices in lump for fat stock. Mr. F. uses some big words in a steer deal, and usu ally gets the steer, too. Five loads of fat hogs, raised by Lusche Bros., and 20 head of sleek steers were driven past the school-house last Friday, the latter we are told, were rais ed by Mr. Ahrens, near Shell creek. Joe Drinnin had eight head of calves aeparnte from the herd while in the stalk Held during the blizzard Sunday of last week. Search was made in vain until dark, when they were abandoned; Mon day morning they were round on the leeward side of a straw stack in 31. Sheedy's field, where they had sought shelter from the storm, and were nearly frozen. A. C. Pickett has a new sleigh, which is right to be merciful to your beast. Our teacher, Mr. Ward, has prepared a term examination, which will lie con ducted at the school house Friday p.m., after which there will bo one week's va cation, when he will begin a spring term of three months. Miss Eliza Drinnin has lteen tendered a position as teacher in a school in Illi nois near where she attended when living there over eight years ago. Acting upon the advice of her parents, she has de clined the offer and will try to secure a school for the spring near home.
