W. K. Lay of the Creamery Messen
ger has not usually been regarded as a
humorous writer, but certainly his reply
to "The Oleo Apostle," meaning the edi
tor of the South Omaha Tribune, who
recently assailed him in a half-column
article, is a model of repartee in its way,
in very readable Indian-English. Broth
er Ritchart had better prepare to drown
himself, if he cannot match Lay's last

Twenty-three dollars was raised
Sunday at the Methodist church for
missionary purposes. It was stated that
tho Methodist denomination raised last
year for missionary purrloses, home and
foreign, $1,258,000, and in the last nine
years had expended $10,800,000. During
the last four years, 100,000 names had
been added to the membership of the
church in foreign lands, and 350,000 in
this country.
Mr. Frank Scott and Miss Clara
Saffron were united in wedlock Monday
evening at the Maennerchor hall, by
Judge W. N. Hensley. A number of
nice and valuable presents were present
ed; a large number of invited guests
were present, and everything passed off
happily. The Journal adds its con
gratulations to those of the nnmerous
friends of the young couple for life-long
prosperity and happiness.
A. W. Armstrong of St. Edward was
in the city several days last week. He is
looking for a site whereon to place an
extensive planing-mill plant. He likes
Columbus as a place to do business,
thinks it an excellent location for his
line, but, bo far, has been unable to make
satisfactory rates on real estate. For
such an enterprise it would seem that
some location not too far from the busi
ness center ought to be available at a
satisfactory price.
Rev. Baker, in a pleasant call at our
office the other day, said that ho was
trying to arrange matters so that he
could go to the great Baptist University
at Chicago this fall and commence there
acourso of theological study, and if that
should prove not to be possible ho
should accept some of the pastorates
offered him and continue the work until
such a time as circumstances would per
mit of his taking a thorough course of
study. Albion News.
It certainly will be news to many of
our readers that Rev. Father Ryan, for
merly of this city, is dead, but such is
the report. Last summer, he had not
been feeling well, and while at Omaha
he took seriously ill, his life hanging for
many days, as we heard, in a balance.
Now, within the last three days, for the
first time the writer of this has heard
strange stories in regard to Father Ryan,
and we think that these should be
proved true or proved false. Does any
one know how it is?
All the lodges of the Knights of
Pythias of Nebraska were requested by
a circular issued from the office of Grand
Chancellor W. B. Dale of this city, to
send at least one representative here
April 5th, 2 p. m., to meet competent
instructors to thoroughly exemplify to
their brethren tho unwritten work of tho
order. The supreme representatives and
all the grand lodge officers are expected
to be present today, and this evening
the third rank (long form) is to be ex
emplified with now and appropriate
paraphernalia by Occidental Lodge No.
21. All Knights are welcomed.
WTe believe that the following words
of the Creamery Messenger are as true as
gold: "If you havo territory that will
furnish milk enough to support a cream
ery you will have no trouble in getting
some responsible party to put in and
operate the plant without a raonoy
bonus." The time has fully come for
creameries. Land in Nebraska is too
valuable to bo kept just for tho wild
grass it will produce. From now on the
idea must be "specialties" let every
farmer pick out some one line to which
he and his facilities are better adapted
than to any other, and follow it up to
independence, whether it be dairying,
raising cattle, hogs or grain. There is
room for all, but tho demand of the
tunes, the demand of tho conditions is
special work and more thoroughness.
We are pained to say that some
Columbus lxys have got themselves into
wrong and consequent trouble. We
give the matter as it comes to us. It
seems that the Bay State Cattle Com
pany, located near Fremont, recently
had stolen from them a thousand dol
lars' worth of hogs, and that a man
named Jones, living near North Bend,
together with James Skillan, George
Davis, Pat. Salmon and Rob. Mclntire,
four boys well-known here, are wanted
for the theft, one of the number (some
say Skillan, others Davis), having con
fessed to the particulars of tho theft. It
is also rumored that a man was held up
and robbed of $250 by the same party.
We learn that all have been arrested
except Salmon, and that, for some rea
son or other, he was not put under
arrest the other day when the officer was
here.
On Tuesday evening of last week
the freight cars containing the effects of
the people going to Alberta start for
Olds. There were eight car loads from
Schuyler, two from Leigh. Says the
guill: "At Schnyler there were Joseph
dmison, wife, and five children, John
Mcintosh, wife, and two children, Alex.
McRae. Robert Smith, wife, and six chil
dren, Ed Bame, wife, and five children,
Mrs. Rathbun, Thomas PreGton, wife and
five children, and A. L. Ramsey, wife,
and three children, while Mrs. H. P.
Moore, Mrs. Cornwell and children, and
Mrs. McKee and children were from
Wilson precinct to go. At Rogers more
passengers were added to the number.
James Coventry and family will "go soon
and goods were already shipped. John
Lawrence left on Wednesday to join his
family, who are in Iowa visiting, and
meet the regular delegation at Winni
peg. This was the first load only, as
many more will follow,"
W. A. Way returned Thursday night
from Texas, having been away just two
weeks. He thinks considerable of the
country and more especially likes tho
climate; the reason it has not been set
tled up long before this is that the land
has been owned in large tracts by men
who would not sell in small lots, for
instance, one man with 22,000 acres,
another with 10,000 could not be prevail
ed upon until lately to divide it for sale
to purchasers of small tracts, but now
that a start has been made, it is thought
settlement will be rapid. In many places
as far as eye-sight can reach is a sea of
prairie covered with Texas cattle, but
the farms are encroaching upon the limits
of the cattle ranges, and Texas is des
tined to be a populous country; Laporte,
twenty-two miles from Huston, is the
place in which Omaha and Lincoln peo
ple are so much interested. Eighteen
months ago there were no improvements
there, and now its future prospects are
very bright. Fruit farms of 10 acres
bring $50 an acre, and all kinds of fruit
can be raised, including oranges, lemons
and figs. Strang of Omaha has land for
sale at $20 to $30 an aore; wheat is not
raised, but corn and oats do well, and
cotton is king of crops. "Artesian water
is had at a depth of 500 feet. The water
is pure and good, but when it comes up
it is seventy degrees warm, and those
who are not used to it at that tempera
ture can let it be for a few hours when it
becomes agreeably cool. Some portions
of the country that have been settled a
number of years havo developed a con
siderable business in fruit. From Albion
are shipped now car loads of strawber
ries to northern cities; it is not uncom
mon to make $500 an acre from pear
orchards, and these, in good bearing sell
readily at S2.000 an acre. Mr. Way says
the best agricultural country he ever
saw lies between Dallas and Denison,
and spoke of it being well drained.
Col. Hoagland, "the newsboys' great
friend" was in the city several "days the
past week, and lectured twice on Sunday
to interested audiences, in tho afternoon
at the Congregational church, in tho
evening at the Mothodist church. In the
twenty years that he has been traveling
this country over and the work that he
has found, he has probably done as much
for the good of mankind as any other
one man in the country. In twenty
years he has disbursed $40,000 in the
work of saving youth from vice and
finding them homes, and often aud often
his finances have been exhausted, but
always replenished. His lectures are
filled with incident upon incident of
what has been accomplished through
him. He is surely engaged in a noble
work, and as he says, if mayors and
police-officers of cities would tako some
such plan as he has adopted, the sources
of criminal conduct would bo broken in
two in one week. He gavo an instance
of three boys left without father and
mother, in which by just simply letting
tho facts be known to the public at a
meeting, all obtained good homes and
became prosperous young men. Get the
boys a home, give them work and a little
good advice. Do the same with other
peoplo's boys as you would wish them to
do by yours, under like circumstances.
W. B. Backus, W. H. Winterbotham,
W. F. Beckett and D. B. Shrigley of
Genoa spent a week on tho Platte near
Clarks getting geese, passing through
this city Friday last on their return
home. They got fifty-two all told, and
when Backus was off away from the
crowd he told an inquirer that he him
self killed forty-nine of them, but the
other fellows declare that Backus was
made use for rounding up the geese for
the convenience of shooting and also for
wading into the water tc recover the
birds his make-up being especially
adapted for those purposes. When
stories are so conflicting, and tho wit
nesses are of equal, or very nearly equal
credibility, what is the newspaper repor
ter to do, other than to give it as ho
hears it. They all agreed that tho geese
were numerous that is tho unkilled
ones, Becket declaring that thero were
"fourteen hundred millions of them,"
and Winterbotham that "they were as
thick as grasshoppers in 73." Ono thing
we do know and that is that the goose
that Becket left for tho uso of The
Journal force was of superior quality,
and filled very nicely "a long-felt wantj"
so to speak.
At the last term of district court at
Schuyler Judge Marshal rendered a
decision that will be of some interest to
every man who has a mortgage on his
place. The case involved here was a
mortgage given by John Schuldt, to tho
Nebraska Mortgage & Investment Com
pany of Fremont of which C. H. Toncray
was cashier. As is the custom with all
these companies, the notes and mortga
ges wero sold to eastern investors. Bo
fore suit was brought, however, Schuldt
had paid money to Toncray, amounting
to $1,000, we are told, but he had not
applied it on the notes and mortgage.

At the opera house Friday evening,
March 24th, the little people of tho
primary departments gave a splendid
entertainment, by which they raised a
very creditable sum of money indeed to
go towards purchasing a library for the
benefit of tho little men and women.
From first to last, through and through,
we are informed that the entertainment
was tho most interesting to tho general
public here, that they have had for
some time. Of course we cannot give
the names of all who took part, thero
being some two hundred all told, and
we do not wish to discriminate. Boys
and girls, ten to fifteen years from now
you will be called upon to tako up the
burdens of life, and it is the wish of
The Journal that you may bo as fully
prepared as possible in every way for
the duties lying before you.
J. H. Wurdeman and son R. H. or
the Boheet neighborhood were in the
city Friday on business. This is the
first time J. II. has been in town since
his allliction, and ho doesn't look rugged
yet. He tells us that ho recently sold
51 steers to Leigh dealers at $4.85 a
hundred, to bo taken any time beforo
tho 1st of May; on tho 2d of March they
averaged 1420 lbs., and ho expects to
bring them up to 1500; the masons are
done with their part of the now cream
ery on Herman Backenhns's place. By
tho way, the creamery is situated on
land that Backenhus bought of Wurde
mau in '78 at $G an acre, and which is
now worth $30. John H. is a great
land-owner himself and hns recent! v
purchased the Peter Juelsch farm, 120
acres, at $25 an acre.
A man named Reeves, whose home
is in Madison, passed through tho city
Friday. He had drawn a thousand dol
lars out of a bank at Madison just before
he started on a trip to Gothenberg, and
it would seem that four men who knew
of his having the currency on his person,
followed him, and after he was on a pas
senger car here, bound westward, crowd
ed around him. struck him on the back
of the head sufficiently hard todazo him,
one of them saying "Now rush up, boys."
This Mr. Reeves tells hero on his return
trip to Madison. He says that he was
dazed and didn't know till some time
afterwards what had happened. He
knew the men or some of them that fol
lowed him, and donbtless will have them
apprehended.
A New Firm.
Beginning April 1st, 1893, S. E. Marty
associated with himself in the meat
business, Mr. B. Engelman, late of
Hooper, Nebr., a practical butcher of
long experience.
Mr. Marty is very well known to most
local readers of The Journal as one of
the best business men in the city and
with a man of like quality with himself,
the firm will doubtless do an increasing
business. They solicit anortion of vour
patronage and will endeavor to please I

DEATH ELJIKK LAWRENTi:
He Perishes While Fightim Prairie Fire at
Hit New Home in Western
Nebraska.
Briefly stated, Elmer Lawrence, aged
22 years, died Thursday, March 30th, at
his home near Hartley, Neb.
None can tell at what tiino they may
be called upon to quit this state of ex
istence and enter upon tho next. Tho
young man whoso mortal career ended
last Thursday, left hero last January to
build up for himself a homo within ton
miles of Eartley, where ho had purchas
ed a hundred and sixty acres of land.
His dwelling was erected" in a canyon to
give him nearer access to water than on
tho table land. Ho had completed his
improvements, and was about to .leave
to break land, aud wished to havo his
houses secure in his absence, and so.
thought to burn away tho prairie grass
and thus get a guard against fire. As is
6o often tho case, tho lire was too much
for him; ho hauled his buggy to tho top
of the hill, let his horses loose, pulled
plow, etc., out of danger. Some school
children at a distance of three-fourths
of a mile noticed n denso smoko and
started for tho place. As they ap
proached they hoard fcwblo groans and
found Mr. Lawrence lying helpless on a
corn heap a few feet from tho houso.
Tho school boys ran for neighliors and
they tried to resuscitate him but ho soon
died. It was at the morning recess of
school that the boys first noticed the
smoke.
The frame houso and barn wero con
sumed by the flames. It was reported
here that tho body was most horribly
burned, but such was not tho caso. The
young man donbtless exhausted himself
with work and after lying down was
suffocated by the smoke.
His mother, the widow of P. J. Law
rence, deceased, and his brother Luther,
beinif notified by telegram, went out
Friday, returning Sunday evening.
Tho remains were laid to rest in the
Columbus cemetery at tho close of the
Sabbath day, and in the presence of such
sorrowing friends and neighlwra as had
had notice of the funeral.
The bereaved family havo tho sym
pathy of the entire community in "tho
tragic death of one who was so dear to
them.
We learn that memorial services will
bo held Sunday, April KJth.
