It hadn't been raining an hour last Friday before you could hear people grumbling "Well, here are two dark days"; "we'll have to have some sun shine, anyway, or things won't grow"; "there's no use in so much rain," etc The two years' old son of E. L Payne of Schuyler died very suddenly Monday last During the big rain storm, ho began choking, supposed to have been caused by phlegm rising in its throat, and died in a very row minutes. There is considerable carelessness manifested by those engagod in hunting in the northwestern part of town.

James Pearsall will undoubtedly be the successful bidder for the erection of tho new building at Grant Institute.

Jockxal: I had a little conver sation with D. Schupbach, president of our school board, and D. F. Davis, ex-member,. this morning, in regard to our city schools, that, it seems to me, the public ear ought to have heard. Spoerry "Is there not something rot ten in Denmark, when pupils of the high school who graduated with high honors, are not qualified to teach a pri mary school in Columbus?" Schupbach "Columbus wants the best teachers those who have practice." Davis "The graduates have to first teach a country school, before they can get a position in Columbus." Spoerry "That is something new to me I never considered it in that light, that the graduates first had to go to the farmers to learn what they could not learn in Columbus. To Schupbach 'that shoe don't fit Our school board has just ousted the oldest practitioner in teaching, in the city.'" 'Schupbach "Some of them have too much, and some of them not enough practice, and our schools are not insti tutions of charity." Whereupon, I told him they should first find out how the new, imported brooms would sweep, before he could tell anything about them. To my simple mind it seems queer that Columbus cannot or will not, support home talent, of their own graduating, or that our school board thinks that they can turn teachers upon the country to manage schools there, having all the common branches, all ages of pupils and all sorts of classes to teach, when at the same time they do not consider them competent to teach primary classes at home. Whose fault is it? II. T. Spoerbt. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla Children Cry for Pitcher's Catterla. still W. N. Heusley, county judge, and J. C Caldwell, sheriff, do not come forward, in answer to the anxious solicitude expressed by the Telegram, aud tell to which political party they belong. Perhaps they would like to join tho independents if they were sure they would be re-nominated and the in dependents would be strong enough to elect them; perhaps they are afraid to venture on such a course, because they know that democracy is somewhat like a jealous wife would be, if she saw her lord making eyes at another woman. Is the anxious voter of old Platte not to be informed on such a momentous ques tion before one or other of the conven tions meet? The town hall of Columbus town ship seems to be an attraction for some lawless individuals. During the past year one panel of the door has been broken in and the porcelain lamp shade and chimney have been smashed by mis siles thrown through the opening. Later the windows and plastering have been shot through in several places. The township authorities have deter mined to take the matter in hand, and have offered a reward in another column. It is a fact that a house cannot go un occupied in the city a week without the lights being knocked out It is done by young hoodlums who ought to be punished. George A. Scott's new livery barn fronting on Nebraska avenue, is to be 41 feet wide and 106 feet deep, studding 18 feet The sides and roofing are to be of patent steel. There are to be an office and bed-room, and a large carriage room. The establishment is to be com plete in every respect It will have three box stalls and twenty-four single stalls. James Pearsall has the contract, the cost of the building will be about $200, and it is expected to be com pleted about July 1st Pel Degman says he has cut and sold one hundred and twenty-five cords of wood from his farm and has as much mor on the nlace.

Peter Cedar of Woodville township committed suicide last Wednesday morning, by taking poison. He had been a strong drinker, a dangerous character and was so quarrelsome that his wife left him, and went to live with a married son, Louis. Ho had time and again threatened to kill her, but nover seemed to have cultivated nerve enough until Tuesday last when he went to Genoa and filled up on whiskey and started out to kill. He fired one shot from his shot-gun, which hit his daugh ter-in-law in the face, arms and breast, but not necessarily fatal. Doubtless Cedar intended the shot for his wife. He then went home, but not without a shot from his own son, but too far off for effect The next morning he took poison as stated, and thus ended his life. Sheriff Caldwell, acting coroner, held an inquest, empanneling as a jury Wm. Irwin, Peter Peterson, Sam. An derson, Peter Larson, Alfred Peterson and Fred. Jernberg, and their verdict was in accordance with the facts as we have stated. He was 65 years old, and leaves a large family; he was buried Thursday. Tke Old Settler. The Old Settlers' association elected the following officers for ensuing year: Mrs. Jane A. North, president George W.

The board of health, consisting of G. W. Phillips, Henry Ragatz and S. C. Gray, made a lengthy report concerning the slaughter houses, sotting forth that "foul odors arise from said houses suf ficient in our opinion to materially af fect the health of the city"; that these in summer time are carried by the pre vailing southerly winds over the city, which "conpled with tho further fact that wo are at present threatened with a contagions epidemic which may assume alarming proportions, unless the most strict sanitary methods aro adopted and onforced, wo therefore lwlievo that the health of the city particularly and tho comfort of its citizons generally demand their removal." The committee then recommended that the houses bo declared nuisances and ordered to romovo the same on or before January 1, "92. In tho mean time thoy must keep them clean, at the risk of being subject to an immediato order of removal. The report of the committee was adopted. City attorney was requested to pre pare an ordinance granting to tho Co lumbus Sewer Co. the right of oast sido of N street from Fourteenth to First for a main sewer, and also granting south oide nf nllevB between Ninth and Four teenth, but not exceeding two blockB east and west on each side of said North street, within the limit as above spec ified.
