On the 14th over 400 Nebraska Sons
of Veterans assembled in their fifth an
nual encampment at West Point. Jndge
W. F. Norris in nn address paid a
splendid tribute to the valor and patriot
ism of the sons who were to perpetuate
the achievements of the veterans. The
camp was beautifully located and all in
attendance are reported as having a
royal good time.
, Another trick has been practiced in
several of our neighboring towns. Da
vid City was the last victim, but the
rascal only succeeded in getting a few
dollars. A man calls at the bank and
deposits a check for, a large amount and
takes a receipt from the cashier, then he
goes out and tries to borrow money on
the receipt. Look out for him and the
many other swindling schemes now be
ing worked in the country.
-There is no end to the stories in
circulation in regard to the gambling
schemes put forth by hangers on to the
circus. It is a question which should
be censured the most tho circus people
or those who offered, themselves as will
ing tools to be plucked by the sharpers.
It is a fact that not only unsophisticated
people from the rural districts were
caught in the trap, but men of business
standing and bank accounts. It was the
loosest and most open piece of gambling
that has been "witnessed in this city for
years. Men were spotted from the
ticket office, guided to the museum tent,
and inveigled into the mysteries of the
shell game with their eyes wide open,
knowing what it was, but the greed of
gain overcame many of them, and they
dropped their money with a recklessness
astonishing to the beholders. One man,
after losing what he had in his pockets,
rushed for the bank and drew out $100,
with which to regain what he had lost
but it only went with the rest. One
case of downright robbery was perpe
trated; the man had a $20 bill in his
hand, standing close to the gambler,
when it was suddenly snatched from his
fingers, with the remark "you lost," and
notwithstanding a lusty kick, he didn't
get his money. The city had a force of
extra police on, the laws of Nebraska
are stringent as regards gambling, and
yet it was done Wednesday in the face
of our officials. It is estimated that
over $500 was lost. Only one attempt
at arrest was made, and that was very
feeble.
Last Thursday evening as a freight
train was moving rapidly from the depot,
a man named George Clark caught the
ladder of a box car and attempted to
gain entrance to the end door. The en
gine gave a sudden jerk, throwing him
from the bumpers, but his body fortu
nately caught on the brake beam in such
a manner as to partially save him from
the wheels. As it was he received a
compound fracture of his right arm, had
the flesh badly torn from his right leg,
and a bolt from the brake beam run
through his left ankle upwards, causing
the most severe wound. His face and
head were also badly bruised. Clark is
a Bingle man about 35 years of age, and
reported his home to be at Freeport, 111.,
and said his brother was proprietor of a
hotel at Fairmont, Neb., who was tele
graphed news of the accident. Clark
was conveyed to the office of Drs. Mar
tyn & Evans where his wounds were
dressed and afterwards removed to the
Sisters' hospital, where he will be taken
care of until his relatives are heard from.
It was a miraculous escape from a hor
rible death.
From the Wadsworth (Nev.) Dis
patch, we clip the following concerning
the Griswold-Anderson marriage, an ac
count of which was published in last
week's Journal: "On last Monday
evening Mr. A. H. Griswold of this place
and Miss Nettie Anderson, of Columbus,
Nebr., were united iu wedlock by Rev.
Thomas Magill, of Reno, at his parson
age. The happy couple departed the
following morning for Virginia City to
visit tho famous Comstock for their
tour, returning to Wadsworth Wednes
day evening, where they will reside.
The bridegroom is too well known in so
cial and business circles of life to need
introduction, he being manager of one
of the leading merchandise establish
ments of this place. The bride is a
young lady of high social standing, and
the daughter of Mr. A. Anderson, who is
president of a bank at Columbus, Nebr.
The Dispatch joins with a ho9t of
friends in wishing them long life of con
tinued bliss, happiness and prosperity."
The Journal acknowledges the re
ceipt of a ticket of admittance to the
state fair, to be held at Lincoln, Septem
ber 8 to 15 next. Thus early everything
goes to indicate that the fair will be
equal if not superior to any yet held,
and the managers seem to be of the
opinion that the World's Fair will rather
be a benefit in the matter of attendance
than an injury. Arrangements have
been completed by which railroad trans
portation can be had, round trip fares
from Chicago to the west and return, the
same as from the west to the World's
Fair and return. This will bring many
straugers from Chicago to see the "New
West" this fall. Exhibitors are invited
to bear this in mind. Six hundred dol
lars is the capital prize this year for best
county collective exhibit, with five other
minor ones, none less than one hundred
dollars.
" Quite a number of Schuylerites vis
ited the Cook & Whitby show at Colum
bus on Wednesday and report it an
excellent one. Wo secured the nanea
of the visitors as: John Hayes, Harry
Phelps, M. T. Bohman, James Nichols,
G. R. Doughty, Denny McRae, Bert
Davis, John Edgar, J. D. Clancy, F. H.
Kolm and Misses Emma Bruntz, Tessie
Lapacho and Clara Nieman Rev.
Scott delivered the address at the
Pythian memorial services on Sunday
last. It was a sound sermon and filled
with good thought. Schuyler Quill.
Mike Savage returned Saturday
night from the World's Fair, where he-:
enjoyed himself hugely for five days,
looking at -the wonderful things to be
seen. He was not very well pleased with
Nebraska's exhibit as compared with the
rest. Indiana, Illinois, Washington and
California have splendid buildings for
their exhibits, and some of these greatly
excel in the array of the products of the
farm and the shop. Mr. Savage attend
ed the Wild West show, a Nebraska
product, and says he never saw its equal
as an entertainment.
We clip the following in regard to
Platte county's crops from the Nebraska
Farmer: "Condition of winter wheat
where put in with a drill is fairly good;
spring wheat is good; oat crop looks re
markably good; corn, although back
ward, is a fine stand, good color and
promises a big yield; tame grass, trees
and live stock look well; apple crop will
be poor, many orchards show a light
yield of fruit, the reverse, however, is
true of the peach outlook; have heard
of no depredations by insects."
The commencement exercises of the
State Normal took place at Peru June
15th. We notice in the World-Herald's
account of the proceedings the names
of two Platte county young ladies as
graduates, Misses Nellie and Mary
Lynch, of Platte center. Their subjects
were "The Pay Roll of Christianity" and
"Let Us Be What We Can," respectively.
Both young ladies were credited to our
county.

v.Mr. J. W. Myers, an old time Colum
bus boy, and one in whom this office
takes considerable pride, for it was here
he commenced his career as a printer,
was up from Lincoln Thursday combin
ing business with pleasure.
Tuesday evening last the citizens of
Columbus celebrated Senator North's
appointment as collector of internal
revenue for this district. In appearance
it resembled a political campaign meet
ing. A stand was erected on the corner
of Twelfth and Olive streets, and Mr.
North was escorted thither from his
home in a carriage drawn by four white
horses , and led by the Columbus band.
The Maennerchor society sang several
excellent pieces, the small boy fired
many crackers and a huge bonfire fur
nished light for the occasion. The crowd
was large and enthusiastic and "Our
Jim" looked happy. Speeches were
made by Judge W. N. Hensley, Mayor
D. Schupbach. Hon. Leander Gerrard,
Hon. John G. Higgins and Hon. I. L.
Albert, Editor D. F. Davis of the Tele
gram acting as chairman. The gentle
men all spoke words of praise of Mr.
North, and were very empbstic-and pro
fuse in words of regard for his honesty
and his worth as a citizen, believing that
he would conduct the business of the
government in the same painstaking and
systematic manner he does his own. It
was a gieat demonstration and showed
that our people were much pleased with,
the appointment of one of our chief
citizens to one of the best federal offices
in the state.
The record of the board of super
visors was not yet written up on Mon
day, and we did not have time to attend
the sessions, so as to make our own re
port of proceedings. We are indebted
Io Glerk Phillips for the facts on which
this very brief mention is founded.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
were mainly occupied by the board with
business as a board of equalization.
Some important changes were made,
but the assessed valuation of the county
is about the same as in '92. The county
levy for '93 is four mills in excess of that
of 1)2; two mills of this is for the pur
pose of providing a fund for the pur
chase of a poor farm, the remainder to
pay interest on $86,000 refunding bonds,
which was not necessary to be made last
year because of plenty of money on
hand for the purpose. The report of
the committee (Speice, Rickert and
Olson) appointed to investigate con
cerning the experts, whether they are
liable to the county because of not
making their report at an earlier date,
etc., was read and action thereon de
ferred to the next meeting, July 11th.

The Circus. .
Wednesday was circus day, and well
did tho citizens of Columbus and vicini
ty enjoy it. The heat did not seem to
interfere with the great crowd of people
in the city.
The parade took place at 10:30, the
dazzling beauty of which cannot be
described on paper, after which the im
mense crowd repaired to the show
grounds, eager for tho opening of Cook
& Whitby's great show, the exact equal
of which has never been witnessed in
Columbus. The management of this
great aggregation are gentlemeu.
They do business on business principles
and in a manner that makes it a pleasure
to meet them.
The balancing by the little Japaneso
boys was excellent, a whole show in
themselves as wero also tho trapeze
acts, and the flying leap is unequalled.
The boxing match attracted much at
tention, and the lady was evidently at
home with tho gloves and cuffed her op
ponent about at will. The daring bare
back riding was an excellent feature.
Cook & Whitby havo a circus on the
road that no one need hesitate about
attending. Among tho most exciting
scenes wero tho chariot races, in a track
outside of tho two rings of the circus. It
is wonderful howintenso tho excitement
can become in a little while, with drivers,
horses and spectators in a chariot race,
eight horses neck and neck, pulling for
victory! Tho ascension of tho balloon,
following the show in the afternoon, at
tracted a largo crowd of peoplo, William
Allen, described as a man of iron nerve,
boldly swinging up with the flying can
vas and dropping safely to earth again
by means of his parachute, some three
quarters of a mile distant from the
starting point.
In every particular and in all its ap
pointments, the show is complete; a
sprinkling wagon even, to mako tho
ground cool; tent stables, commodious
and comfortable for tho well-fed and
finely-groomed horses; a blacksmith es
tablishment; a wagon-maker and a har
ness maker, with all appliances fordoing
work speedily in short every comfort
and convenience attainable on tho road,
and well it must pay the proprietors,
judging by the immense crowds that
Hock to their entertainments wherever
they go. The number in the tent here
Wednesday was variously estimated at
2,200 to 3,000 peoplo.
This notice would be far from being
complete without mention of that urbano
and gentlemanly press agent, Willis
Cobb. For twenty-three years he has
made use of printer's ink without stint
in advertising circuses, and he knows
where and how to use it where it will do
the most good, and you don't have to
run all over the show ground to get your
money, for he walks into the office on
the morning of the show and pays like a
man. Long and pleasant may be the
journey of Willis Cobb through this vale
of tears.
Music is always an essential part of
the enjoyment of great crowds of people,
but Prof. Goetz, himself a composer of
note, with his band of thirty pieces,
makes the music of Cook & Whitby's
show a pleasure to be long remembered,
and many of the choice selections aro of
his own arranging, tho opening piece of
Wednesday night, "Tho Merry Wives of
Windsor," being among the number.
