One day last week Prof. E. P. Hayes,

player and could make many. fancy
shots. It took but little persuasion to
induce him to give an exhibition game
in the evening, which was done at Leo
Borowiak's saloon. It was no disap
pointment, for it has never been the
pleasure of Columbus billiardkts to
witness such marvelous and difficult
shots, both in pool and billiards. His
"flying draw" brought forth great Ap
plause. The professor was presented
with quite a nice little purse.

M. K. Turner, the veteran editor of

called at the Tribune office and breathed
a quantity of nice fresh air. Mr. Tur

to congress in 1882, but that did not
drive him out of the Republican party,
as it has done several other men before
and since, but he has kept right on saw
ing wood for the party through his
paper. He has now lived and moved
and had his being in a Democratic coun
ty for twenty-three years and while he
is not the galliard he ence was he yet
shows no great amount of wear and tear
and concludes that he is reasonably im
pervious to adverse influences of that
kind. Mr. Turner stated confidentially
that he would receive brick blocks on
subscription to his paper. (Fremont

Ono day last week The Journal
man visited the store of Greisen
Bros. & Co., where he was shown the
finest assortment of clothing between
Omaha and Denver. This stock has

people of this locality. Every color,
stylo and quality of goods are to be
found in this immense stock. Be up
with the times and make your appear
ance in Chicago with one of Greisen
Bros. & Co.s handsome suits of clothes
on. They have something new in shirts
which you want to see; outing shirts,
dress shirts, working shirts. In boots
.and shoes they allow no store in town to
outdo them, and as they buy directly
from the factories their prices are the
lowest. Be sure and call at this store
before buying anything in the way of
wearing apparel.
Schuyler Sun : The boys who have
been in the habit of sneering at The
Columbus Journal in the past ought
to keep still. The "old Journal" is the
newsiest local sheet published in Colum
bus, else I am no judge. Bro. Turner
has displayed good judgment, too, about
the management of his paper while some
of us were making fools of ourselves on
account of bushwhacking sheets which
have sprung up, threatening to revolu
tionize newspaperdom in the way of sub
scription prices and size of sheet. The
Journal has never allowed itself to be
caught promising a bigger paper than it
can afford to publish and a reduction of
subscription price. It remains, as of
yore, an eight-column folio, at $2 a year
in advance. The Journal is apparently
on a solid foundation by reason of its
wise course, and long may it continue to
flourish.
E. E. Dodson of Kearney was in the
city Friday on his way to Fullerton, and
gave The Journal a call with his friend,
F. M. Cannon. Mr. Dodson says that
their canal is being deepened and
widened, a steam dredge being at work
now, and that the capacity of the canal
will be very much increased by this
means. The company has been reor
ganized, the Franks retaining an inter
est, and two parties of Leavenworth, two
of Chicago, besides J. T. Clarkson of
Des Moines, forming the new company,
who expect to push the interests of
Kearney and the Canal Co. for "all there
is in sight," in the way of solid business.
Mr. D. thinkB that Kearney's future
prospects are very bright, and that the
canal is a very important factor.
We could not get the council pro
ceedings in time to give full particulars:
Contract with A.Heintz for lighting the
city was approved; bond of John Bader,
herder, approved; report of police judge
for April referred to committee on po
lice; the bicycle ordinance was passed
and ordered published in The Journal;
the city attorney was requested to fur
nish his written opinion as to the au
thority of the council to refund any or
all outstanding city bonds; an estimate
of expenses was adopted and ordered
published; the occupation tax list pre
pared is to go to the treasurer with
directions to collect without delay; two
electric lights wore ordered placed in
the engine house.
It was our intention to write a
full and truthful account of that little
fishing bee indulged in by the mechani
cal department of The Journal, but
our two unworthy cotemporaries, with
malice aforethought, have painted the
whole thing such a fishy hue that we
yield the palm. The truth of the matter
is that the Argus contingent stole all
of our dinner, begged all of our chewing
tobacco ajd drove Col. Curtis' high
strung pony home, leaving that delicate
young man to walk. We caught nearly
100 nice fish, which can be proved by in
quiry at the Home restaurant.
Tuesday night as train No. 3 was
passing the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missou
ri Valley crossing at Fremont, some ma
licious person shot through the window
of coach No. 531. Mr. Jacob Tschudin
of Woodburn, this county, was in the
seat next to the window, and narrowly
escaped being shot, as it was his face
was cut by flying glass. It was the
opinion of some of the passengers that
there was a scheme on foot to rob Mr.
Tschudin, who was returning from the
sale of several car loads of cattle at
Omaha.

Little Harry Rapp, whom we men
tioned in our last issue as suffering from
scarlatina, died on Thursday, kind and
tender nursing having failed to save his
life. Mr. and Mrs. S. K. Rapp have the
sympathy of their many friends. The
funeral took place Friday afternoon
from the Presbyterian church, Rev. O.
A. Elliott conducting the services. It
was certainly sad to the affiicted parents
to lose this, their only child, at the in
teresting age of two years and five
months.
Ed. Millar of Nance county, one of
the most extensive breeders of fast
horses in Nebraska, was in Columbus
Thursday. He was on his return from
Arapahoe with several fine colts which
he was taking to Merchiston ranch,
where he has a first-class track for train
ing. Mr. Millar informs us that he has
some horses which will make their mark
at the fall meetings. Among them he
mentioned Guy Sheridan, 2:22; Bar
ney Allen, 2:26; Blue Bell, 2:30.
Fred Young, editor of the Genoa
Leader, visited in Columbus Friday.
Mr. Young informs us that on June 3d
the voters of Nance county will decide
the question of issuing $25,000 in bonds
to build a new court house. It will be
remembered that last spring the old
frame building used as a court house
was destroyed by fire, causing the loss
of valuable county records. There is
but little doubt -but that the bonds will
carry.
Del Weetcott met with a painful
and severe accident Wednesday. In
cutting a rope with a common pocket
knife, he was cutting towards himself,
when his knife slipped and cut a severe

McKinley was sent for. He dressed the
wound and stopped the flow of blood.
Del had a narrow escape from bleeding

DEATH OP VIHCENT C ALLEY.
He la Killed at Omaha by the Mnrray Hotel
EleVator-PartieaUn of the Sad Accidestv
-The F-ueral, Etc.
Never in the history of Columbus has
there anything occurred that caused
such a cloud ot gloom and sorrow over
the younger portion of our community
as when, on Wednesday evening last, a
telegram was received from Omaha an
nouncing the sad intelligence of the
accidental death of Vincent Galley, son
of our highly esteemed citizen, James
H. Galley. The news passed with won
derful rapidity from lip to lip, but no
particulars were learned until the Omaha
papers were received next day. The
facts are as follows:
Vincent Galley was night porter at
the Murray hotel, Omaha, and his hour
of commencing work was 7 o'clock p. m.
He had a load of trunks to deliver to
the basement, and Guy Venable, who
was the passenger elevator operator, let
him down. After unloading the bag
gage, it is said Galley gave the usual
signal, "all right," to start the elevator.
Venable started the elevator, and after
ascending a few feet noticed something
unusual, wrong about its action and
heard a cry of distress from below. The
elevator was qrought to a stand-still and
an investigation made, revealing the
lifeless form of Mr. Galley lying at the
bottom of the shaft. An examination of
the body showed that his neck was bro
ken, right arm shattered and his chest
and shoulders crushed in. It is the cur
rent belief that young Galley, after
giving the signal, either in attempting
to get on or after he was on, slipped in
such manner as to throw him on the
platform of the elevator, as the lower
part of his body received no injury. As
far as we can learn, he was alone at the
time, and the exact facts will never be
known. It was particularly gratifying
to his relatives and friends that his face
was not disfigured, as the corpse pre
sented a natural and lifelike appearance,
and was viewed by many friends and
acquaintances.
Sheriff Bennett, acting as coroner in
the absence of Coroner Maul, and Depu
ty Coroner Welch inspected the scene of
the accident and held an inquest at 9
o'clock Thursday morning, rendering a
verdict in accordance with the above
facts. Mr. J. H. Galley and C. E. Pol
lock were present at the inquest, and at
its conclusion returned to Columbus
with the remains.
After the holidays Vincent Galley,
who was nearing his twenty-first birth
day, and was of an ambitious, self
reliant and industrious turn, took upon
himself the idea of going forth into the
world and doing for himself, not that
his father was unable or unwilling to
support him, but solely on account of
that manly, independent disposition
which governed his every action. A sit
uation of trust was offered him by a
Columbus bank, and his father and
uncle were willing to assist him to any
position he might desire here, but ho
chose to go to Omaha, where he secured
a position with the Omaha Transfer Co.
It was but a short time until the mana
ger perceived that the work was too
heavy for one of Vincent's light build,
and persuaded him to givo it up, secur
ing for him the position in which he
lost his life.
It was not the sad circumstances un
der which this young man lost his life
alone, which caused so much sorrow in
the community, but the fact that death
could have selected no more shining
mark or pierced the hearts of a moro lov
ing or worthy family.
Vincent Galley was really an excep
tional young man; loved and respected
by all; in the lead in social events and
ever ready to join in sport of any kind.
His advice was taken by those much
older than himself, and it always proved
for the benefit of his associates. That
he was loved, by those whom he labored
with in the hotel, was attested by the
pillow of choice flowers upon which
rested his head in death.
Vincent had written a letter to his
brother Bert the day before the acci
dent, stating that he would be home to
attend the graduating exercises of the
high school, and would probably re
main here.
The bereaved family have the sym
pathy of the entire community in their
sad affliction. This is the first death
that has occurred in this household.
The funeral services were held in the
German Reformed church Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Elliott officiat
ing, assisted by Rev. Olcott. The 39th
psalm was read as the scripture lesson,
and Rev. Elliott made an appropriate
address.
The choir, consisting of Mr. and Mrs.
Hickok, Mrs. Whitmoyer and Mr. Lay,
sang effectively "Hold Thou my Hand,"
and "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." The
school board and city council (of both
of which the deceased's father is a mem
ber) attended in a body, as did also the
Sons of Veterans and the pupils of the
high school. The churoh was filled with
sympathetic friends and as many more
were unable to enter.
The pall bearers were young friends
of the deceased, Erve Speice, Carle
Hoehen, Chad Arnold, Roy Cornelius,
Herbert Henry and Luther Cushing.
The floral tributes were most beauti
ful and appropriate.
A large concourse of mourning rela
tives, friends and acquaintances of the

Uradaating Exerciae.
The graduating exercises of the Co
lumbus High school will be held at the
opera house Friday evening, the 26th.
Ten young ladies and three young gen
tlemen will grace the stage. It is a very
interesting class this year, several of the
pupils having been raised here from
youth. Here we see children from in
fancy to manhood and womanhood
guided and directed by onr teachers
through the most important age of life,
forming character which will be for last
ing good or ill. What a responsibility
for the teacher, every thought being
dinned and practiced. How faithfully
exact every instructor should be in la
boring with the youth to imbue them
with a love of investigation, as well as to
train them in methods of thought!
Let us all hope that these young
folks, in the busy world in which they
are about to take an active part, will
find themselves well equipped for
grappling with the serious problems
that come up.
Following is the program, which
promises to be very interesting:

Cook & Whitby's English 3-ring cir
cus, menagerie and hippodrome, which
exhibited here yesterday, gave the ut
most satisfaction and delight to its
swarm of visitors. This show more
nearly realizes the highest ideal of all
that a circus can be than any we have
ever attended. The riding was superb,
the races created great excitement, elic
ited tumultuous applause, while every
act out of the hundred given appeared
the best while you were looking at it, or,
in other words, there was not a poor fea
ture in the performance, which is more
than we can say of any circus that has
ever visited Pittsburg. The parade
made in the morning was a revelation of
wealth and splendor that fairly dazzled
the beholders. The cost of such a dis
play must be appalling, the dens and
wagons being covered with ivory and
glittering gold, every horse a thorough
bred and all animals richly caparisoned
in silk and satin a solid mile of them
altogether. The balloon ascensions took
place in the afternoon, and, combined
with the splendid sharpshooting and
other free exhibitions, vastly pleased the
people who were jnst "looking around."
In fact, everything about this immense
organization seems perfect, the uniform
ly courteous and quiot deportment of :dl
employes was widely commented upon,
and created the most favorable impres
sion. We beg to acknowledge courtesies
extended by Messrs. Cook & Whitby and
their representatives, and hope to again
have the pleasure of attending so great
an exhibition. Pittsburg Press. Will
exhibit at Columbus, Wednesday, June
14th.
