John Macken of Platte Center, brother of V. A. and Pat Macken of this city, died Sunday of pneumonia, and was buried yesterday. He leaves a wife and one child, and wbb sick but a few days. He had a largo circle of friends who will sincerely mourn his death. The Alliance folks are still talking of erecting or purchasing an elevator for handling their grain. We understand that Welch & Sheldon have offored theirs for about half what it would cost to erect a new one. Something definite in the matter will doubtless be announced soon. A number of Columbus folks went up to Platte Center Friday evening to attend their weekly literary society there; among them were, Misses Kate Early, Delilah Davis, Lillie Ragatz, Chattie Rice, and Mrs. McClemont, Ed.

The literary and musical program for the meeting of the Press Association tomorrow (Thursday) evening, at the Congregational church, has not been completed as wo go to press, but the public who are invited to attend, can be assured that there will bo an interesting entertainment. A new citizen tells us that he is tempted to test the method of the school board in relation to text-books.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. Tho Improved Stock Breeders Association and the Nebraska Short barn Breeders Association met in Fre mont last week, and were royally enter tained by the wide-awake, enterprising citizons. We notice among the printed proceedings that S. M. Barker, a former resident here and a well-known man of large experience with sheep, gave his views on feeding, which were listened to with marked attention. He said he came to Nebraska fourteen years ago to raise sheep, but found at that time the stato was not a good producing one, and he has since confined his attention to feeding. In his pens the sheep are so closely confined that they touch each other." They must bo kept quiet. He declares that he has as good mutton as is produced in England. He feeds all they can eat and no more; has powdered rock salt from Kansas before them all the time, waters them twice a day, feeds them wheat screenings and corn, use3 plenty of bedding and stints on nothing but hay. Each sheep eats about four and one-half bushels of screenings and corn. Ho recommends long feeding and thinks they weigh better and bring more money. Tho next annual meeting of the two associations will bo held in this city somo time in February, 1894, and wo suppose that for this, Columbus is in debted to Mr. Barker and R. H. Henry, who were in attendance. A man named Lockwood was given twenty days in tho county jail at Central City, on a charge of stealing from the residence of James Davis, near Clarks. He was riding a pretty fine horse when captured. In his possession were found several watches, a now revolver and a quantity of small jewelry. He claimed Grand Island as his home Albert Smith, tho twelve year old son of Will. Smith, living two miles north of Mar quette, had the sad misfortune to have his right arm shot off last Thursday, while out hunting with a couple of his brothers a gun in the hands of one of the latter being discharged through the the catching of the trigger on a barb wire fence through which the boys were crawling. The arm had to bo amputated just a few inches below the shoulder. Drs. Benton, of this eity, and Douglas, of Marquette, performing tho operation, Courier. Mrs. S. O. Raymond died Wednes day, after a protracted illness. Tho funeral took place from the residence, Rev. Duncan Joudon officiating. She leaves her husband and one son to mourn hor departure to the spirit land. An intelligent lad' and of a remarkably amiable disposition, Mrs. Raymond's friends were only limited by tho number of her acquaintances, for all who knew her loved her, and that affection on tho. part of her family amounted to adora tion. It is only in the sacred precincts of home and near and dear friends that such a character as hers can be justly appreciated, and no language can tell tho loss that they feel, or mitigate their anguish. There goes a story the rounds hero of two "workers" from Platte county, who have spent considerablo timo at Lincoln, and approached a legislator to have him bo a candidate for speaker of the house. If wo should tell his name, all his acquaintances would recognize the fact that he is not one of tho kind to be readily deceived by such proffers and protestations of help. He answered that he was poor, and couldn't even afford to buy a suit of clothes, which a man ought to have before thinking of running for such a high office. They gavo him twen ty dollars to buy a suit of clothes, and ho declares that he still has the twenty dollars. If tho school districts or Platte were laid out after the plan suggested by Sup'L Reed of Gago county, some of tho children would not have so far to walk as they do now. His scheme is to lay out the districts in the shape of a cross, and containing fivo sections of land, tho school hoiibo to be in the center of tho middlo section, thus making the greatest distance to be traveled (not counting angles) one mile and a half. Tho plan is well worthy consideration, as is also Mr. Schelp's bill which has passed the house, allowing a pupil of one district to attend tho nearest school even of another dis trict, tho pay being made out of tho stato apportionment to his home district. Senator-elect Allen met with a royal reception last Wednesday ovening at Humphrey and at Madison, on his return from the senatorial campaign at Lincoln. Ono enthusiastic populist in tho crowd at Humphrey oxclaimed: "We'll make you president yet," and a democrat yell ed: "Hurrah for tho first democratic senator of Nebraska." The band was out and enlivened the scene with good mnsic. D. L. Bruen went up to Madison with tho new senator, returning on tho freight train later in the ovening. The part of tho proceedings at Madison that seemed to cling most tenaciously in his memory was two large Newfoundland dogs carrying flags in their mouths. C. E. Early has opened out in tho rooms in the rear of the First National bank, Twolfth street, this city, as a real estato and general insurance agent. In insurance ho represents a number of the best, most reliable and strongest com panies known in the country, and will transact business for them on strictly business principles value received at all times. Mr. Early is a young man well known in this community, and whoso business record is a very envitible ono indeed. Being thoroughly informed in prices and values of land and city property, those having purchases, 6ales or exchanges of land to effect will do well to give him a call, tf A number of Mrs. C. E. Pollock's friends surprised her Monday evening at her residenco, and passed a very enjoya ble time. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Hockenberger, Mr. and Mrs. Nie wohner, Mr. and Mrs. Covert, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Gray, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Phillips, Mr. and Mr3. J. C. Echols, Mr. and Mrs. C. A.

Wake, Ethel Galley, Clara Martin, Nellie Welch, Martha Welch. Mr. G. B. Speice, Mel. Watts, George Taylor, Dr. Nauman, Bert Galley. Columbus will have two applicants for honors at Fremont this week Rev. J. B. Leedom who is a candidate for department chaplain, and S. L. McCoy for adjutant. There is no rivalry what ever between the two, and each wishes the other the success that ho merits, and we could hope that both of them may be selected for the respective places. Both are familiar with Grand Armv affairs, and fully capable for the positions. It will be quite an honor to Columbus to secure these two positions for members of Baker post. The Linden Trio Company entertain ment given under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at tho Congregational church last Friday evening, was not so well attended as it should have been, though the audience were very appreciative. The company consisted of Misses Bald win, soprano, demons, reader, Romans, pianist, and Clark, violinist. They are all artists and give a fine entertainment. C. W. Pearsall has returned from Chicago, where he is interested with Cal. Valentine in special telephone lines connecting the court-houses with the offices of attorneys in the city a busi ness that promises considerable of an outcome. The Major says that all the Columbus colony in Chicago, so far as he knows, are flourishing. Architect George Willis is working on plans and specifications for resi dences for C. C. Gray, a fine structure worth $3,000 -to be erected on the south west corner of Fifteenth and Quincy streets; remodeling Mr. Beerbower's residence in the eastern part of the city; also a fine $4,000-residence for Mr. Hendryx near Monroe.

Miss Alice, has been hero for some time. Brutal Axsaiilt. About 5 o'clock Monday of last week Miss Lotta Paynter (formerly a resident of this city, and sister of Mrs. O. L. Baker), was assaulted by an unknown man, and though the villain was fright ened from his purpose, the shock may be too great for the young lady to survive. Sho is 17 years of age, and lives with her brother and widowed mother at 1102 South Eleventh street, Omaha. Sho and her mother had been out Monday calling on some friends, and Miss Lotta returned to tho house alone, her mother remaining up town to order somo groceries. As the clock struck 5 she heard what sho supposed was her mother's voice calling to hor from the back yard. The back steps being covered with ice, she thought her mother needed help, and hastened to her assistance. When she reached the porch, sho was seized from bohind by a man, who threw ono arm around her waist and placing his left hand ovor her mouth, lifted' her from her feet and carried her toward the coal shed, behind the houso. She attempted to scream, but the scoundrel clutched her throat and threatened death if she made an outcry. By this time her assailant had forced her into the coal shed, and, realizing that her honor was at stake, tho girl struggled with all her strength against tho villain. The Bee, from which wo condenso this account, says that tho brute then grasped her by the hair and threw her against tho coal bin with snch force that sho was rendered insensible and knew no more until she recovered to find herself lying in her own room with her mother bending anxiously over her. It was just a quarter of an hour after the man called Miss Paynter into tho back yard that her mother returned and on goingout after a scuttle of coal found her daughter lying unconscious on the floor of the shed. Help was summoned and the insensible girl was brought into the house and restoratives applied. It was a long timo before Bho opened her eyes and she remained unconscious most of the time until 10 o'clock. Besides tho nervous shock she had suffered sho was half frozen through lying in tho shed when tho thermometer was several de grees below zero, and had she not been discovered just when she was tho chances aro that sho would nover have regained consciousness. Evidently the rascal who perpetrated the assault believed that he had killed her when she fainted and made his escape without any further effort to carry out his purpose. Ho was a tall man with no board except a mustache and was evidently upwards of 30 years old. He answers the description of a man who has been noticed loafing around a tough saloon most of tho time during the winter. As sho left tho house in the morning she saw the man standing on the corner. He stared at her in an insulting manner. Tho brute had evidently carefully planned his work. He had seen both mother and daughter go away in the morning and tho latter return aloue. He knew that she was alone in tho house and that there was no ono to prevent him from carrying out his devilish plan, and but for tho girl's heroic resistance he wonld havo undoubtedly succeeded in his revenge. Ho imitated the voice of Mrs. Paynter so successfully that the girl was completely deceived and did not realize what awaited her until sho found, herself struggling in tho lasciv iouB clutches of her brutal assailant. The people in tho vicinity are very in dignant at the bold crime, and several of them proclaimed their willingness to assist at a hanging bee if the brute was caught. One of the men killed by the IndiauB last week up at Pino Ridge, formerly re sided at Bellwood, this county, and was a second cousin to Mr. A. B. Roys of this city. Rodney wont up to that country some twelve or thirteen years ago, and went to herding cattle. He was cook for the men who were killed, and just the day before cooked dinner for the treach erous devils who did the killing. Mr. Rovs received a letter this morning from Bellwood. saying the body would be sent down, and asking him to take charge of the remains upon arrival here. His friends live at Bellwood, and his parents are both buried there. Mr. Roys thinks the body will arrive here over the F. E. from Fremont on Friday, when it will be taken to Bellwood for burial. Only a few days ago Mr. Roys read a letter re ceived from him, and he spoke of the Indians, saying some thought there would be trouble trith them. How little he thought then of the treachery sur rounding their little camp, and how soon he was to fall a victim to the vindictive rascals whom he was feeding. There is very little safety for any white man up in that country. David City News. The little two year old child of John Hartman, while playingwith some beans last Tuesday, got one into its mouth and while crying, it passed down into the windpipe. Drs. McGavren and Peck were called and made every effort to dis lodge the bean even to making an open ing in the throat, but to no avail, it hav ing passed down into tho bronchial tubes. At the time of this writing the child is improving rapidly. fStromsburg Head- l873J 1 1 Fall Winter BoolsiL Daley's As our Spring Goods are arriving every day, and in order to make room for them, we have de cided to close out all Pall and Winter Goods at reduced prices.

Journal: Since the resignation of Mr. Farmer, Miss Kato Taylor has tnken that room in tho Third ward. We believe she will be a success as an instructor and disciplinarian, and in order to make it easier for her, some of us parents have resolved that so far as our own children aro concerned, they shall be thoroughly corrected at school and moro added to it at home, if nec essary. They would earnestly recommend this plan to.all the families, for the good of children as well as of school. Much transgression at school and in citizen ship is often traceable to want of disci pline at home. n.
