Eo. Jouknal: It may not lie an
unusual thing for Columbus to have
such easter exercises as I enjoyed at the
Methodist church in your city last Sal
bath, but just allow me to Bay that it
would be a difficult matter to excel them
in many large cities east where the con
gregations are numbered by the thous
and instead of by the score. From the
tasteful, and very appropriate decora
tion by flowers, to tho distributing of the
colored eggs out of the big nest, and in
cluding the songs of old and young, the
sjeecheB, recitations, etc., could not well
have been more appropriate.

Telegram: Tho residence of William

the flames but were somewhat damaged.
There was no insurance on tho property.

editor of tho Telegram.
One who was present says: "The
services were ery solemn and grand at
St. Bonaventura's church; tho church

dered by the Latin choir was as tine as

deserving especial mention, as it was
sweet, iich and clear as a silver liell.
Rov. Father Paciticuu preached an elo
quent sermon, on the glorious resur
rection." - Emil Pohl, the musical director of
tho Maennerchor, was 48 years old on

Henry Kagatz.
The republican candidate for mayor,
is the well-known grocer of Eleventh
street. He is a level-headed man of af
fairs, cool, delilierate, thoughtful, care
ful and decided.
All the interests of the city would be
perfectly safe in his hands, so far as the
discharge of his official duties would be
concerned.
He is not without considerable ex
perience, having lieen a nieinlier of the
city council for four years, and thorough
ly cognizant of our city affairs. Be
sides, he proved himself a councilman of
the better sort, in fact the best practical
measures had his approval.
Several canards have already lteen
started in regard to Mr. Ragatz, even in
the short time since his nomination; one
of them is that, if he is elected, a certain
man will open up here a gambling hole
the inference being that Mr. Ragatz
would wink at such violation of the law.
This is a misrepre.-entation of the worst
kind, for Mr. Ragatz would be in favor
of enforcing the laws, and does not de
sire an election on a false basis.
K. H. ChamlMT!.
The republican candidate for city
clerk is a voting man of business, trust

people for the approaching of the lovely
spring.
Scarcity of feed, scarcity of seed, and
scarcity of money.
' Hector Blaser of the Loup valley
moved his saw mill to the neightiorhood
of Duncan, and is now busy operating
the same. The people seem to appre
ciate the enterprise and roll their logs
by to have them cut into suitable lum
ber. Tuesday, April 7th, at 9 o'clock, the
annual town meeting will be held and
every man will have a chance to talk to
every man present. The meeting will lie
held for the purpose of levying taxes.
Rev. Kleusner, of Bremen, Germany,
who is making a Hying trip to California,
stopped here one day last week, and lec
tured at the Duncan school house Fri
day evening, making very interesting il
lustrations about Palestine, which
country ho visited some years ago. He
asserts that the best commentator of the
holy scripture, was a visit to the holy
land. Herr Kluesner is a noted man in
the German branch of the Til. E. church
in Europe, and is one of the founders,
that put the shoulder to the wheel 35
years ago. S.
Wild geese are numerous along the
Platte. Some of the boys have lieen
out, but took no good aim judging by
what they brought back.
The second term of our school closed
March 20th. The third term will com
mence April 1st.
Supervisor Keucher is sick. We hope
that he will soon recover.
Last Friday our streets were full of
people, who came to attend church.
Services were held in the Polish church,
and also in the school-house by the Re
formed and Methodist denominations.
It is rumored that one of Duncan's
young men is to be married in the near
future. We hope that it will prove true,
as we like to attend weddings.
Occasional.
District 44 and Vicinity.
The danger period of high water, it ia
hoped, is past.
A steady rain Saturday night, and all
day Sunday, failed to remove all the
snow banks.
During the rain Sunday, a heavy Ikmii
bardment was kept up south of here,
which sounded as if Italy might be trot
ting an ironclad up the Platte.
Last Wednesday while George and
Willie Engel were playing, as foolish
boys too often play, the former received
a bad cut on the hand. Willie, with
sharp case knife in hand, was striking at
his brother's hand, thinking George
would draw his hand away each time,
which he failed to do once, with the re
sult as above stated. Dr. Evans was
called, who dressed the wound and
sewed it up. George is not suffering
any inconvenience, and will be as good
as ever.
Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Stevenson of Col
fax, Bpent a part of the day in this dis
trict Thursday.
Wm. Lockhart, who has been on a two
months' visit near his old home in Penn
sylvania, returned last Friday.
Ella Byrnes spent Saturday and Sun
day at home. She returned to her
school Monday morning.
The condition of the roads at present
would justify a vacation in almost any
country school.
Wheat and barley sowing will prob
ably commence the latter part of this
week, as many farmers expect to buy
their seed grain this spring, it will be to
their interest to buy none but.the best,
as the difference in the price is nothing,
when compared with the difference in
the yield. The above refers more par
ticularly to oats and corn.
There! "George, the hunter," has
just com in with a load of let's
two white brants, four mallard ducks,
three red head ducks, and three pin-tail
ducks, liesides, he says, there is one in
the pond, and ho must ride a horse to
bring him out.

OX tGe TRACK.
BY H. BOY1MTOX.
"Ah! the red sun is setting: my master will come
And lead me up there to that stable at home.
I'll jump from this jwisture so dnsty and Kray
And strike for the river-land meadows awu.
Then down 'long the track 1 ran canter and run.
Aha! don't I love it my freedom and fun."
That kI in the fence? Well, 1 heard master saj
He must "close that right soon," elM the herd
Ko astray.
Hut he liKhtril his piie when a neighbor drew
nih.
And they, two, sat and chatted till dHliK"t
went by.
I'm Klatt he forgot it: 1 did not. )ou know
At a bound, 1 am oil to the river lielow."
The sand-bars gleam yellow ami bare as a tioor
I'll see if a horse bus the wit to crontt o'er.
1 don't like that stable with never a light.
No window to peep through at morning or night
Hut a horse cannot talk else the maMer might
hear
What his dumb friends desire should he "lend
them an ear."
How grand is this world: aha! loiider I see
Some barb-wire prisoners are Ui-k'uing to me;
I'll stop to salute them. Hark! what do I hear?
Such a rushing and roaring is In. rue mi the air.
No danger, I hoie. with this furlough in view.
There's plenty of time- no? That 'Hjer' is due.
The tdd bridge below! 1 can cross in a tt.ish
The engine came leaning, a hound and a crash;
The wnist Iest-reameilwilill ami long
. - . 1 .... . ..ii
but alark'
O'er the bridge stumbled Don; yes. the Irani
kept the track.
A swift, downwanl plunge, a sharp shock of uiiu.
Poor fellow! he's dying! and so -all in tain.
He may toss his maimed head 011 the cold frozen
ground.
No hand in swift mercy may shorten this round
Of three torturing dajs.iiml three sunsets i.f red,
Cllie law is so cruel) hut at last Don isdeiul.
Smoke the Seed Corn.
Mr. G. H. Krause, who always has an
eye to practical lienefits, gives us for
publication the following paragraph; :ts
there has been considerable damage in
Nebraska from the gopher, a remedy
that promises relief from his attacks
ought to lie put into universal practice:
DeSmet News: Cut this out for future
reference. To prevent gophers from tak
ing up seed corn: First, dig a Ninall tun
nel in the ground nlwut ten feet long,
open at both ends. Knock out lioth ends
of an old barrel and set this over one end
of your tunnel, observing that the wind
is iii the right direction to cause a draft
from the open end of tunnel toward the
barrel. Cover the uper end of barrel
with wire screen or gunny sack on which
place your seed corn uliout a peck at a
time. Build a tire in the mouth of tun
nel with llax straw and cow manure and
smoke each lot about 0110 hour, taking
care not to over heat it. This has lieeu
tested and found a sure cure for gophers
and is said to spoil the flavor of the
young corn shoots for cut worms.
