August claimed that he had had provocation enough to justify the use of the fire arms, but concluded not best to go into a trial of it. It seems well, it's a mixed lot of dogs and dogs, and he shot one of them, bnt of course the police judge bad no dogs before him. A school ma'am who lives in town and teaches a few miles out, going back and forth every day, played a practical joke on herself a few days ago? She is accustomed to eating her breakfast be fore daylight, and, as usual, was ready to start before the sun was up, when she looked at tho time however, she found it was only 2 o'clock. She concluded to start later in the day. We would like to tell the young lady's name but will not this time.

Tho contest case of Blodgett vs. Gerber came up Monday before his honor, Judge Hensley of the county court, L L. Alberts appearing for Blod gett, and Messrs. Higgins & Garlow for Gerber. The witnesses examined for the contestant were: J. O. Blodgett, John Engel, Herman Ernst, Ed. Huns cot, Arthur Witchey, John Alber, W. W. Musgrove and the Messrs. Ricken bocker. Blodgett testified that he went to the polling place at 8 p, m., and was ordered out; the judges refused to count while he was there, and one of tho judges, Sobus, said they wouldn't count while anybody was there, if they had to take threo days. Ernst testified that he saw Sobus, ono of the judges, go in and make the ticket. Engol testified that the judges quit counting when Blodgett came in, and ordered Blodgett out. There was testimony to show that the door of the polling place was locked about ten minutes between 3:30 and 4, and when tho witness was asked how ho knew when it was unlocked, ho answered that he heard tho key turn in the lock. Musgrove testified that he saw Gerber, one of the judges, go outside, and talk with four 'different persons. Our reporter was not present at the hearing of the witnesses for the defence, but we understand that tho testimony was contradictory of that adduced by contestant. Arguments in writing are to bo submitted by Saturday. As our readers well know, F. Folda has been very ill of late and recently the illness took a more serious turn. On Tuesday Dr. Baxter, of Chicago, who was sent for, arrived and after an exam ination pronounced tho causo as a cancer, probably in tho stomach. An operation was necessary, hence on Wednesday the doctor, Mr. Folda, Mrs. Fokla and Miss Martha loft for Chicago. While the best is hoped for by the friends here, yet the worst is feared. So said the Quill of December 28. Wo learn that death was the result of the operation. Mr. Folda was born in Bohemia, July, 1839. He came to America in '57, lo cating in Wisconsin, moved to Nebraska in 1809, and has lived in Schuyler over since. Ho was recognized as a good business man, honorable in his dealings. He was a staunch democrat, and had represented Platte and Colfax counties in the legislature. Last Saturday while shelling corn, Fred. Brown, tho oldest son of Lester Brown, living four miles west of St. Ed ward, got his hand caught in tho shelter in somo way and tho arm was drawn in nearly to the shoulder and torn nearly all to pieces, making amputation neces sary. He was taken to St. Edward and Dr. Flory performed the amputation, but another ono will be necessary. At this writing ho lies in a very critical condition A club has been formed in Albion which will under the arrange ments made with Chicago parties, visit tho World's Fair tho coming season. The plan is tho cheapest one we have seen, and if a club can bo formed at Cedar Rapids and St. Edward so as to have three or four rooms filled with Boono county peoplo all the time, the plan will receive the commendation of all. We believe L. P. Judd has the matter in charge. (Albion News. Tho Western Musician, published at Lincoln, Nebraska, of which wo aro just in receipt of tho eleventh number, is a monthly well worthy of patronage by tho lovers of music if such a publication can be sustained in tho west, and to sus tain it tho only way is to patronize it, SI a year, in advance. O. B. Howell, director of the Nebraska Conservatory of Music, is the editor of tho Musician, which is sufliciont guarantee of its worth. There are hosts of peoplo who do not nppreciato tho value of music, and there is, no doubt, considerable timo and money wasted in tho acquisition of so called musical education, but, as with all things else, there is tho real thing under all the sham and make-believe, and that substantial reality is worth all the effort of honest endeavor, merely as a civilizing force "the piano against the wolf," as ono of our philosophers phrases it. Our Judgo Sullivan has been ex changing benches, so to speak, with Judgo Allen of Madison, and here is what tho Reporter says of him: "Judge Sullivan of Columbus was presiding and tho manner in which he dispatched bus iness, gave general satisfaction. It was one of tho most effective terms of court ever held in this county. Nineteen jury cases were disposed of. The docket is now in as good shapo as it can be made, all tho old bnsiness has been finally closed up, and a clear field is now left for new litigation. Judge Sullivan worked like a Trojan, frequently holding night sessions, as late as ten o'clock and succeeded in closing up the business in time to let the jury off for Christmas. Sullivan mado many friends in Madison county whilo here, and the manner in which he discharged the duties of Judge drew forth favorable comment from all classes." W. N. Hensley, now county judge of Platte county, doesn't assist condemned criminals from the penitentiary for the glory to be derived therefrom, nor the sweet satisfaction of making glad a hu man heart. Ho wants cold, clammy, cash, and asks Lancaster county court to fish it from tho pocket of M. D.Welsh. Ho says he wants S50 for legal and other services in procuring a pardon for A. W. Webber. The money was promised him, ho says, and then never paid, although his efforts were entirely successful. Warden Million gives tho information that Webber was sent up from Colum bus, April 10, 1885, for assault with in tent to commit rape. His sentenco was for ten years, but he was pardoned out Juno 21, 1890, by Governor John M. Thayer. Lincoln Journal. Some timo Tuesday night of last week burglars entered the B. & M. depot by opening a window on the north side of the waiting room and forcing tho door into the oflice. A holo was drilled into tho door of tho safe, powder inserted and the door, probably weighing five hun dred pounds, was thrown six feet away, against tho operator's table with such force as to damage it considerably. An express package containing a S4.50 watch was all that the robbers got, although they emptied tho contents of tho safe on on the floor. Agent Cox had deposited his valuables elsewhere, amounting to about S700. Mr. Bonton, living in tho adjoining block, heard a dull, heavy sound in the night, but had no idea that it was at the depot. No clue to the would-be robbers. The entertainment given Saturday evening at tho Opera House by the Thalia Dramatic Club of Grand Island was hugely enjoyed by the audience, the local gags provoking laughter every time. There are few traveling troupes that would excel the Thalia in tho rendition of this play, and as for DeBoots and Featherly, it would be hard to find their superiors. The Journal must say a word for McMeans. As Trap he did his part to perfection. In one of his songs, he forgot his lines and stepped off tho stage, but camo back again and sang two stanzas, when there camo another break that he conldn't mend but so cleverly dono that many of the audience thought it all intentional. The troupe is a good one. W. K. Lay of the Columbus Cream ery delivered an address at the State Dairymen's convention at Minden last week on the subject of oleomargarine. Ho took the ground that its manufacture and sale within tho state should be pro hibited. Ono of the results of his ad dress was that a committee was appoint ed consisting of Mr. Lay, Congressman elect Hainer of Aurora, S. C. Bassett of Gibbon, and J. H. Rushton of Fairmont, to meet at Lincoln yesterday, to frame a pure-food bill with special reference to milk and fraudulent butter compounds. It is believed tbat a good bill, effectual for the object aimed at, can be drafted, and the butter-makers of the state will j wish them success ia their endeavors, PERSONAL.

Miss Bessie Hollow ay is a member of her troupe. -Tho Osceola Record says that Coro ner Nichol, with Dr. Whaley and a jury, held an inquest over tho exhumed body of Martin Zuroski, and gives tho follow ing particulars: "The body was taken up and thoroughly examined and found horribly mutilated. The left leg was off above the knee, and the right jnst below the knee. The left forearm was also missing. The head was cut off down to the lower jaw. The lower front teeth were still in place, but tho balance of tho head was off in a slanting direction back and down through tho lower jaw bones which were slivered and charred. The Vertebrae of the neck were separated at a joint and no bones of the neck were broken. The last Vertebrae remaining on tho body was somewhat charred, but not nearly so badly as it should have been bad the fire been hot enough to burn tho head entirely away. The flesh had been burned from tho ribs so that the heart, lungs and a part of tho other intestines were visible. Several wit nesses were examined, but very little light could be thrown upon the subject as no one knew anything about the case except Mrs. Zuroski. Tho jury, however, thought the death accidental and brought in a verdict to that effect. There aro some very suspicious circumstances surrounding the case and from a careful examination of tho house and surround ings, and other points which was not, and could not be brought out at the inquest, the Record is of the opinion that there is an unwritten chapter in the history of the case, which, were it writ ten, would be a bloody ono." The ver dict of the jury was that Zuroski camo to his death by accident, "he being burn ed to death while in a state of intoxica tion." Nich Blasser returned Monday of last week from his two weeks' trip to Oregon, whither he went to sell a farm he bad there. He is now ready to invest more here or hereabouts. Nich has two sons, Nich, jr., and Frank, in tho western country, the former in Oregon, the latter in California.
