J. N. Reynolds, formerly in the real

afterwards removing to Kfintas, serving

Charles Connor, an old time
engineer in the employ of the Union
Pacific By Go, for several weeks past
has shown unmistakable evidence of a
demented mind, and Thursday last was
brought before the commissioners of
insanity here for examination who ad
judged him insane and ordered that he
be sent to the asylum at Norfolk for
treatment We understand that for
several months past Mr. Connor has
complained of severe pains in the head,
to relieve which he has been in the habit
of using opiates, this doubtless having
much to do in placing him in his present
condition. His many friends will hope
that the ailment is of a temporary nature,
and with proper treatment and muoh
needed rest he will soon be restored to
complete health. On Friday evening
the unfortunate man, accompanied by
his brother-in-law, George Brown, of
Superior, Neb., and Sheriff Eavanaugh,
was taken to Norfolk for confinement

of the Fair Association, is trying to get
up a surprise for the visitors on the last
day of the fair, and from the twinkle in

guessed a triangular debate with Mr.
Morton was on the tapis.
About 9 o'clock Tuesday evening an
unknown man went to a door of a
dwelling in the east part of town where
two ladies were staying alone, and de
manded entrance, saying he wanted to
see her (calling one by name) on import
ant business in a neignbonng town.
Not knowing the voice and thinking it
very suspicious the way he was belabor
ing the door, they went to- a neighbor's
for assistance. Upon examination they
found the screen door had been cut,
evidently not by friendly hands. People
should be prepared with a shot-gun for

TheJoubxai, may be pardoned a
little seeming exultation at the wheat
prospects in Nebraska, especially the
magnificent yield of winter wheat attest
ed all over the country, whereever
given a fair trial. We have urged, and
still urge, the sowing of winter wheat
with press drills. The most reliable
estimates place the wheat yield in Ne
braska at 25,000,000 bushels. With the
increased acreage, doubtless the yield of
1893 will be far in excess of this year.
At present prices, the wheat crop means
13,000,000 or 14,000,000 dollars to help
the mortgaged farms.
We are in possesion of a very neat

Henry Clayburn, living near O'Kay,
this county, sowed with a pressed drill 8
acres to winter wheat of the Kentucky
Red variety. Lost week In and &
Cunningham did his threshing which
averaged the enormous yield of 51
bushels to the acre, machine measure, of
as fine and plump looking wheat as one
would wish to gaze upon. This looks as
though the growing of winter wheat in
Nebraska is bound to be a success.
C. J. Lindstrum, a cigar maker in

through the hands of a young man in the

Our neighboring towns are comment
ing on the wise step the school board

the public schools. The Osceola Record
speaks of it and closes with the follow
ing: "Music should be a permanent

graded or otherwise, and we are glad to
see Columbus taking a step in this
direction."

On Wednesday last the republican
club of Monroe raised a flag inscribed
with Harrison and Crounse. There was
considerable enthusiam manifest by the
members of the club. In the evening,
after waiting a long time for the prom
ised platoons of independents, who were
tardy in entering the arena, W. A.
McAllister, at the urgent demands for a
short talk, responded in some well-chosen
republican doctrine, followed by tho
Hon. George D. Meiklejohn who for one
hour and a half discussed the issues of
the campaign with clear-cut logic, that
M. V. Moudy of Genoa, who followed
him failed to gainsay or disturb. And
after one hour's pawing and striking at
protection, which is the punching bag
for political athletes, which always re
bonnds, to the dismay of would-be
political leaders. The hasty retreat of
M. V. Moudy as soon as he finished his
gymnastics and boll punching presaged
his dislike to clinch with Hon. Meikle
john, who had been anxiously waiting
for the contest. Monroe is wheeling
into line.
Friday evening last about dusk,
Joseph Roach and Mr. Snyderheintz
were driving W. T. Rickly's team near
the U. P. freight depot, when the horses
became frightened and started to run,
throwing both men from the seat under
the horses' feet; they ran across the
track east of the depot, overturning the
wagon with such force that the tongue
was imbedded into the ground to a depth
of three feet. The horses then became
detached from the wagon and started
up Olive street at a break-neck speed.
"Spud" Smith being on his fleet-footed
horse started in pursuit, capturing them
at the Meridian hotel. Luckily for the
men, they received only a severe shaking
up and a few scratches.
Friday afternoon at about 4 o'clock,
near Duncan, John Tacek, hauling hay

difficulty a Union Pacific express train
came thundering along, which was
signaled, but not in time to prevent tho
engine from striking the team, actually
cutting off the four legs of tho first
horse struck and injuring the other so
badly that he had to be killed. Strange
to say the wagon came out of the wreck
uninjured except for the loss of its
tongue.

To The Jochnaii: "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy," is a good
motto, so after a week's hard work in
Chicago we boarded the Illinois Central
train for the land of cotton, a pleasant
trip indeed. Along the lake front, out
past the world's fair grounds, the beau
tiful works of architecture looming up
on our left, is a fine sight Through Il
linois to Cairo and over the big bridge
spanning the Father of Waters, on
through Kentucky, until we reach Mar
tin, Tenn., where at 2 a. m., we are
aroused from an uncomfortable sleep by
loud and prolonged groaning coming
from under the car that we occupied.
Your correspondent was one of the first
out, and was horrified to find that an
aged negro had been run over by the
cars, and both legs cut off between the
feet and knees. Medical assistance was
called and as our train stopped trat five
minutes we cannot give the result.
At 7 a. m., we pulled into Grand
Junction, Tenn., of which I may mention
later. Our next stop was at the old his
torical town of Corinth, Miss. We are
directed to a liver' stable owned by a
Mr. Burgess, who was seated in an old
fashioned arm chair and n pair of
crutches at his side.
"Can I get a rig from you to take us
over to Shiloh, or Pittsburg Landing?"
"To Shiloh?" And with a sigh he
looks down and drops his left hand on
the stump of his left leg that had been
amputated at Shiloh 30 years ago.
"Willie," to a negro near by, "hitch up
the bays and take these people over to
Shiloh, and drive right smart so as to
gat there by sunset"
'"How far is it from here?" I asked.
"Twenty-three miles. Were yon ever
there before?"
"Yes, sir, but it was over thirty years
ago, and we went in by the way of Sa
vannah on the north."
"You were in the Union army?"
"Yes."
"Well, I was in tho Confederate army
and lost my leg in that battle," he said.
Our rig is ready. We shake hands
with our ex-confederate friend, jump
into the carriage, the driver "touches
up" tho team and off we go at a brisk
trot. Wo soon find onraelves on the
outskirts of Corinth, the driver pointing
out to us the many places of interest in
connection with tho battle and siege of
Corinth in the summer of '(32, of which
I will mention later. Eight miles fur
ther north finds us in conversation with
a Mr. Britton, who points out many
places of interest.
"That house to the right, on yonder
hill, was Gen. Halleck's headquarters
during his tiresome marches from Shiloh
to Corinth. I had a fine home here be
fore the war, but both the rebel and
union armies destroyed all, burned
houses and barns and wo were com
pelled to take to the woods. Over yon
der, not a quarter of a mile away, stood
a small town, Monterey, of 200 souls;
it, too, was completely wiped out, noth
ing left but that old vine-covered chim
ney yonder just beyond that fence near
the big oak tree."
The country is dotted here and there
by fine farms, fields of cotton and corn.
A littlo further on and we are on the
outskirts of the historical battle field.
Wo 6eo hero many points of interest
but we must go clear through to the
Landing, from which point we can work
more intelligently.
Wo are on the old Corinth road, that
part of which runs through a very lone
some and denso forest
Now we come to Lick Creek and here
we utop to water the horses. The still
ness of the evening is broken by the
sweet mournful sounds of a church bell
just on ahead of us. Ding, dong, ding,
dong, those sweet sounds ecuo tnrougn
the forest and over tho hundreds of
mounds that contain the ashes of un
known soldiere who were hastily thrown
into those trenches jiidt after the great
battle.
"Willio is that a church bell?" I asked.
"Yes, Bah, I reckon dey is holden
meetin'."
"What church is it?"
"Shiloh church."
"But I learn that the church was car
ried away, piece by piece, as relics years
ago."
"Oh! yon means de olo log church dat
was hea'de time de wah; data done gone
long ago; dis was built after de wah on
de same ground."
Now we ate rounding a bend in the
road. And on a slight elevation on
ahead of us we Bee the new (20 years
old) Shiloh church. Several saddled
mules and horses and several vehicles
were hitched to trees near by, and a
group of men and women waiting out
side the church the hour of service.
We would like to stop here for a few
minutes but we have no time as we are
anxious to get to the Landing before
dark.
We soon drive up in front of a neat
residence occupied by Dr. Petty, where
visitors to the battle field find a good
meal, clean beds and an intelligent and
kind host.
Before retiring for tho night we learn
that this farm covers some of the ground
that witnessed the horrible surprise on
Gen. Grant's army April Cth, '62. It
was within 200 yards from here that the
writer saw the result of the surprise.
Many were shot while asleep, many
more killed while in the act of dressing
or eating their morning meal. But I
must forget this for tonight, and start
out early in the morning. Tired and
sleepy, wo retire for the night and the
old song comes back to me
"We are tenting tonight.
We are tenting tonight.
We nro tenting on the old camp ground."

District 44 and Vicinity.
Wo were near frost Saturday night, and vege
tation not yet out of the way.
Very few teams were seen on tho road Satur
day threshing, seeding fall grain and patting
up hay is probably tho cause.
Mr. and Sirs. Jacob Lewis of your city drove
out here Sunday, and spent part of the day with
their sister-in-law. Sirs. Engel.
Friday evening, while on the way home from
school, one of the pupils of an investigating
mind peeped into a culvert in the road a few rods
west of the school house, and there beheld a live
skunk; the presence of the animal and his man
ner of defense caused some little commotion
among tho 6coro of children that had collected
at the culvert. The teacher finally sent one of
the larger boys for August Eerkman (who lives
near by), to come and dislodge it. Mr. K. was
on the spot with gun in hand in a short time,
and after taking three rounds, (the skunk par
ticipating in two of them), August was declared
the victor, and triumphantly marched back homo
a stronger man than when he left.
This weather seems to be calculated especially
for buckwheat, and it is filling very fast. Po
tatoes being very scarce, their place must be
filled with a judicious uso of the buckwheat
griddle.
What can be more refreshing than those cool
nights of sleep.
Michael Killoran having soid his farm on
sec. 1, near the school bouse, is now engaged in
building for himself and Mrs. Killoran a neat
residence on a lot he recently purchased in the
eastern part of the city, and into which they will
move as soon as it is completed. Mr. K. will
make a solid acquisition to the city.
We have been told that Fred. Stenger is about
renting his extensive farm lands out here to
move with his family into the city.

LEGAL NOTICE.
In tho matter of the estate of Harry M. Morey,
deceased. In district court, Platte county.
The cause came on for hearing upon the peti
tion of John F. Morey, administrator of the
estate of Harry M. Morey, deceased, praying for
a license to sell the undivided one-half interest
in the southwest quarter and the west one-half
of the southeast quarter of section twenty-one,
township seventeen, range one east in Platte
county, Nebraska, subject to a mortgage of
$3,525.00 on the entire interest, or a sufficient
amount thereof to bring the sum of $1,200 for the
payment of the debts allowed against the estate,
there not being sufficient personal property to
pay said debts and expenses. It is therefore
ordered that all persons interested in said estate
appear before me at Columbus, Nebraska, on the
15th day of October, 1892. at one o'clock, p. m.,
to show cause why a license should not be
granted to said administrator to sell so much of
the above described real essate of said deceased
as shall be necessary to pay said debts and
expenses.
Dated this 30th day of August, 1892.
