Hot and cool, windy and calm the weather is so variable that it is difficult to keep track of it Taking it, "by and large," however, the season is a dry one. Thoughtful citizens are beginning to think about suitable candidates for the county offices, and to discuss the virtues and non-virtues of present in cumbents. R S. Dickinson returned Thursday from a visit to the World's Fair, his trip uniting business with pleasure. Like all othere, he thinks the exhibit a mar vellous thing.

Al Parker haa been sent to Boone to take the position of station agent, and our agent is left without a helper, which does not give him much time for play. Genoa Banner. The Crouch Milling Co. or Albion and St Edward have been awarded the contract for furnishing flour to the mil itary post at Niobrara and to the Indian school at Genoa for the coming year. The result of the garnishee damage euit against Wilcox & Fuller, which was on trial upon going to press last week, was that Judge Henaley bound them over in $800 each to the district court. The Congregational Sunday school on next Friday will have a picnic at Stevens's grove. All members of the school, their parents and friends are cordially invited. Come, and bring a basket. Mr. Sheldon says that Nebraska is much talked of at the World's fair, and Nebraska day the hosts were a caution to see. Massachusetts, on her day, had a mere handful to witness the cere monies. Kev.

Beckett, to announce that his band will lead the procession on the Fourth in that town, rumors to the contrary notwithstanding.

He tells us that Charles Keeler and Minnie Neal, two Indian students, were to be married that evening, and that great prepara tions were being made for the event. The Central City Democrat, a paper in the third week of its existence, asks us to exchange. Certainly, bat we are sorry that such a hustler for and ready writer of local news should devote his time and talent running a democratic sheet. As heretofore stated in The Jour nal, the arrangements for a series of popular addresses under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., have been completed, the first of which will be by Rev.

He left San Francisco the 15th of May and is to make New York City within 100 days from time of start ing. He thinks he will accomplish the ride in 85 days. Yesterday Emil Holup commenced learning to ride a bicycle, and to-day he made a bet that he could ride to Colum bus in three hours. He made the trip in two hours. Of course it was not very fast riding, but it was doing remarkably well for a beginner. Schuyler Herald. An old man who was stopping at the Grand Pacific was taken under the wing of two crooks who got him under the influence of liquor, put him to bed and robbed him of $29 in money, getting away with the "booty." Chief of Police Coleman gave the old man $2 to help him on his journey. Mr. Fred Stenger will soon com mence the erection of a fine residence on the Bite of the old Father Ryan Catholic church. George D. Willis will personally superintend its construction, which is a guarantee that it will be well done. The building will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. Reuben Beerbower goes this week to Colorado to visit his youngest son, W. A., superintendent of the Rio Grande & Southern Ry, at Ridgeway, after which he will return and complete his visit with his son here. Mr. Beerbower has a very good opinion of this section of Uncle Sam's broad land. The Eleventh street McMahon property, two business lots just east of The Journal office, were sold Monday to the Fred. Krug Brewing Co. of Oma ha for $1,450. We hare not learned the intentions of the purchasers, but it is presumed that they will erect a first class brick business establishment on the lots. A most enjoyable social dance took place at the Maennerchor hall Thurs day night Notwithstanding the hot evening everyone seemed bent on hav ing a good time. The Ladies' Guild of Grace Episcopal church abundantly and artistically furnished the assembled throng with refreshments. There were about thirty couples present Chief of Police Coleman arrested a man Saturday charged with having stolen $8 from a fanner north of the city, with whom he had been at work. He could give no names. He got $6.85 from the man, -who claimed, however, that he had not stolen anything, and was on his way to another neighborhood for, work. Nothing farther has developed. Master Mechanic D. M. Doty had a visit from a burglar Thursday night About 2 o'clock keSvas aroused from his peaceful slnmberroy a noise-at the win dow and the rattling of the curtain. Upon opening his eyes and looking into the sitting room just off from his bed room, he saw the shadow of a man upon a large picture banging on the wall. After a few moments of thought he got out of bed, and just as he did so, Mr. Burglar deliberately stepped to a table upon which was a lighted lamp and coolly blew it out la the darkness they stood, "not a leaf stirred," Mr. Doty with revolver in hand and Mr. Burglar supposed to be possessed of a like weapon. No duel, however oc curred, for the would-be thief left through the open window, and, after due deliberation, Mr. Doty returned to his bed, for which we are sorry, and the reader is deprived of a much more sen sational item. "Misa Tottie Hood, who hns been such an industrious student for the past three years at the Hastings college, re turned to Schuyler Monday after the close of her school. Miss Hood ban made remarkable progress in herstudies especially in mathematics, for which she has a natural talent, and her Schuyler acquaintances are pleased to know she has done so well." So says the Schuy ler Sun, and The Journal will add that Miss Tcttie's Columbus acquaintances are glad to hear of her continuing suc cess as a student Her young childhood while she was a resident of this city gave great promise of future usefulness. The engineer of the local depart ment of this paper is going to Schuyler on the glorious Fourth. Come, join us in having a good time in that rural re treat to the city of Columbus! We will cover our head with a ten cent straw tile and wrap our sweltering frame in a linen duster and celebrate as they did in years gone by cider and gingerbread for two. When we" return home with our new hat caved in and our nose paint ed red, the "editorial editor" will call us up and inquire friskily, "Where did you spend the Fourth, young man?" And in all our dignity, we will reply: "At Schuyler, sir; and we are glad of it." John Jenkinson, father of Richard Jenkinson of this city, died near Albion, June 20th, and was buried next day, Rev. W. M. Worley preaching the funeral sermon, in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives. John Jenkinson was born in Durham county, Ireland, October 30, 1819; moved to Canada in 1843; was married to Mary A. Morton the same year and settled in New York state. In 1865 he moved to Illinois, where he resided until 1874, when he moved to Platte county, Nebr. In 1893, Mr. Jenkinson located four miles from Albion, where he has since resided, a much respected citizen. Frank Thompson Btarted from Al bion at 6 o'clock p. m. for Chicago and in twelve days from that time at the same hour he arrived at the hotel En deavor in Chicago, having rode all the way on his bicycle. He 'was accompa nied by a Fullerton man and they laid over in Omaha twenty-four hours and encountered a great deal of bad road? and bad weather on the way. Had the roads and weather been reasonably good they would probably have made the trip in ten days without much fatigue, Al bion Argus. The man with the "bankrupt" stock of boots and shoes who has been holding forth for a week or two "on Eleventh street, Wednesday packed up his old traps and moved. In the days when that fellow's stock of goods were in date, the word bankrupt was not known. Some of them ante-date the times of wooden shoes, and the fellow does not know the use of printers' ink. He "car ried the banner" here as long as he could hold out, and has now gone to Albion to try and hoodwink the good people of that town. Married, on the evening of June 20, by Judge Henaley, W. W. Novall and Miss Ellen O'Hagen. This notice would have appeared sooner but for the fact that we have not been able to put our finger on Bill since it occurred, he having been rushing around like the wild man from Borneo. "Turkey" Hagel says the prospective responsibilities of a matri monial life have set a wheel to revolving in his head. We wish the newly mar ried couple a long and happy journey through life. Another good citizen has been added to the fastly increasing population of Columbus. Mr. Robert Wiley has re moved from Monroe here, having pur chased Judge Brindley's fine residence. Mr. Wiley will after a several months' visit through the east, remodel this fine property to his liking, become an every day citizen of Columbus and manipulate his idle dollars in a manner becoming a man of his excellent financial ability. The Omaha World Herald of last Wednesday contained a sensational item relating to a Columbus young lady, Miss Maud Tiffany, having suddenly disap peared with a married man. The report has been sifted down by friends and found to be wholly untrue. Miss Tiffany is in Omaha with friends, her parents have known where she was all the time and the article was manufactured out ct whole cloth. The four days' races began yester day at Sioux City. There were an nounced one hundred and seventy-three entries in all, and the interest will doubtless keep up until the close, at which time it is confidently expected that a swifter pacing gait than 2:15 will be struck by at least one of the twelve entered, nearly all of them having shown It very fast miles in work outs. We take occasion to remind that unsophisticated individual who is doing the scavenger work for this city that he had better wait until the people have their suppers before he goes to work. Between the hours of 12 and 6, a. m. is the lawful time for doing such work. And then if his wagon was a little more compactly built he would get to the river, with more of a "load." A barn-storming company of inex perienced theatre people arrived in town Tuesday evening and attempted to play "On Hand" at the opera house, but as they had neglected to advertise, their entertainment to any extent, there were but sixteen people "on hand" to see see. them, so they took their hats in hand, got on a hand car and left town. Death ef Blaashe Elstos. It is a very sad dnty we have to per form in recording the death of little Blanche Elston, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Elston. In this beautiful month of June, with flowers and trees abudding, this little loved one was seized by dreaded diphtheria, which in five short days quenched out her cheer ful and bewitching life, leaving a path way behind strewn with sorrow and sad ness. It is consoling to her friends and playmates to be assured that the wither ing, of her life is only temporary, and that with the rising of the morning sun she will again bloom in a fairer land than this where flowers do not wither and the sun never sets in sadness. Blanche Ellston died Wednesday morn ing at 10:15, aged 10 years and 11 months, and was buried Saturday, owing to the contagious character of the disease but few of the young relatives and friends following the remains to theirtlast rest ing place. r Thore is no death; the start) go down To rise upon a fairer fIiore, And bright in heaven's jeweled crown They shine forevermore. There is no death; an angel form Walka acroaa this earth with silent tread, And bears our dear loved ones away. And then we call them dead. But ever near us, though unseen, Tho angel forn do tread, For all God's universe is life. There are no dead. A Trae Fish Story. Mr.Tt. W. Young, living a short dis tance north of this city, has a bright and promising son named Ray. There is nothing remarkable about that. But Ray went fishing one day recently in Lost creek, and while quietly sitting meditating whether there was any pros pect of his ever becoming president of the United States, bob went his cork under the water and out came a strug gling fish. Here begins the fish story. Upon taking the fish from his hook Ray discovered for and aft in their respective and proper places four as nice little arms and legs, with as finely developed and well shaped hands and fingers- as ever graced the body of any child you ever saw. The hands on the forepart of the fish had but four fingers, while those on the hind part had five fingers with the joints and nails as plainly visible as those upon a human being's hand. And after his critical examination had ended and his amazement subsided somewhat, Ray baited his hook and threw it into the water again. , To his delight bob went the cork under the water a second time and over the brush went his line, and as if to confirm him that his former catch was not a vision, there was an exact counterpart of the former phe nomena, and the boy carefully housed the two in a can of water and started for home, laying planBforthe immediate groundwork of a museum. Mr. Young has carefully preserved the pairjof twins in alcohol, and any one thinking this merely a fish story can call at his home and examine them, and well it will repay any one to do so. Our friend C. K. Davies of Gardner was in the city Friday. Mr. D. had a visitor-at his place one day last week. After a pleasant conversation on the topics of the times; his visitor proceeded to business, which was to introduce the latest improved lightning rod in exist ence. After an extended eulogy on the merits of the rod, Mr. Davies entered into a contract with Cole Bros., repre sented by an agent, for a lightning rod, a goodly portion of the regular price thrown off because it would be a good advertisement for the company, etc., etc. In a few days two men put in an appear ance to fulfill the contract previously made. Mr. Davies discovered several discrepancies between the agreement made and that now shown, and had good reasons for suspecting that he was about to be wronged in the matter, un less he demanded his rights immediately. He called for the original contract, which was produced, and after it was in his possession, the party of the second part demanded its return, whereupon a fracas which promised to end in blood shed arose. The lightning rod men spoke about guns and insisted on the return of the contract, and Mr. Davies and his hired help produced pitchforks and refused to surrender. After con siderable skirmishing on both sides without injury to anybody, the lightning rod venders departed threatening to bring the law down on Davies' head with great force. Thus endeth the first chapter of this bloodless battle. City Council. A special meeting was held Friday night to consider the extension of water mains. All the council were present near the opening. Councilman Gray re tired before the resolutions were voted upon. The substance of what was done was embodied in two resolutions, the first rescinding the contract with reference to laying the extension of the water main on Fifteenth street on account of the finances of the city not warranting the outlay; the second authorizing the mayor to sign a contract with Dussell'& Son for making 850 feet of six-inch con nection on Q street, between Eleventh and Thirteenth, at tho price named in bid of said Dussell & Son reduced, as the same appears on file with the city clerk, with an addition of $25 for extra work in passing under the railroad tracks.
