WEDNESDAY. JULY 5. 189S.
Pbince Bismarck was reported dan
gerously ill last week.
While Gov. Crounse was in Chicago,
and Gov. Majors was fishing in northern
Minnesota, E. M. Corral, editor of the
Hebron Journal, became acting gov
ernor by virtue of his position as presi
- dent of tho senate.
At Valeeco, by private capital alone,
they have deepened the harbor from
four feet to eighteen feet, excelling the
government's work at Galveston where
hundreds upon hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been spent.
The president, under date of Jul 30,
issued his proclamation convening con
gress in extra session on August 7, "to
the end that the people may be reliered
through legislation from present and
impending danger and distress." He
gives it as his view of the matter that
"tho present perilous condition is large
ly the result of a financial policy which
the executive branch of the government
finds embodied in unwise laws, which
must be executed or repealed by con
gress." It is a little over 200 years since Be
becca Nurse was hanged at Salem, Mass.,
on account of her religious convictions,
and because she would not confess to
being a witch. The anniversary was ob
served in what-is now the town of Dan
vers. For a long time her tomb was
without a mark, her body having been
stolen by her sons from the gallows for
interment. Her later descendants have
just unveiled a memorial tablet, suitably
inscribed, in honor of the forty persons
who maintained the innocence of this
New England martyr before the court
which condemned her.
The Board of Public Lands and Build
ings is paring down expenses at several
state institutions. Tho Kearney refonn
school suffers most and it is a positive
shame that it should be crippled and
given a back set. An investigation of
its management by a legislative commit
tee showed it to be economically, hon
estly and wisely conducted by Superin
tendent Mallalieu, but the legislature
nevertheless cut down its appropriation
ridiculously low. The wages and num
ber of employes are reduced, the manual
training department thrown out and
the practical utility of the school other
wise injured. Can the state afford this
sort of treatment of such institutions?
The spasm of "economy" which seized
the last legislature was as harmful and
expensive as some previous lavish appro
priations were. Fremont Tribnne.
Coxckbninq the results of the race
Col. Cody is reported as Baying : "It
will show the world what the native
American horse is worth. European na
tions are watching the result of the race
with interest. It is a test of the hardi
ness of the broncho, and after the wond
erful result of 150 miles in twenty-four
hours, 1,010 miles in thirteen days and
sixteen hours, there will be a rush for
the American animal. European nations
will want American bred horses for their
cavalry. Of course on the entangle
ments of the riders and protests I am
not in a position to decide, but I do say
that the horses are in splendid condi
tion. I was not surprised at it either,
for it is just as I said a few days ago
the. cowboys know that the horse is their
' beet friend and that its best endeavors
can be brought out by kindness and
care."
"The list of Easter marriages among
people of wealth throughout the country
is far below the usual average in point
of numbers," says a New York society
journal. "Every woman knows that
marriage.is slowly but surely dying out
in ineoe united states. Tiie rich are
the first to feel its effects. Bachelors'
apartments aro multiplying everywhere.
The skyscraping hotels that aro ascend
ing in all of our cities are being built
for the uses of celibacy, not for married
life. The rush for admission into clnbs
is unprecedented. The women aro the
cause of the strained relations of the
sexes. They feel they can get along
without the men, and the men feel they
can get along without the women! The
American girl has set a standard of lux
ury to which the American man refuses
to follow her. If her father, says the
American man, will pay for her extrava
gances, let him. She will never find a
husband to do so. And marriage goes
on declining."
A. J. Wabkeb of Ohio, president of
the bimetallic league, gives it as his
opinion that "the closing of the mints of
Bombay and Calcutta is part of a
gigantic conspiracy to seize upon the
present opportunity to finally and for
ever fix a single gold standard, and to
extend it over ine world, xne imme
diate consequence will be that silver
will fall and gold will increase in value
faster than ever. Prices will fall every
where as gold rises. Every advantage
will inure to creditors and the creditor
nations. England has set out to subdue
the world, not with arms but with gold.
What is there to do but for the western
continent, under the lead of the United
States, to unite and act independently
and establish a financial system founded
pon equity and calculated to secure
stability in valueaand one which will
keep an even balance between the debt
or and the creditor, not one calculated
to Tob with impunity the debtor for the
beaeit of the creditor?"
Cleveland's Daty Plain.
The sixth annual convention of tho
state league of republican clubs met at
Saratoga, N. Y., on the 27th ult Secre
tary Hedges read letters of regret from
ex-President Harrison, ex-Vice President
Morton and Whitelaw Beid. Harrison
said: "I hope the meeting will be suc
cessful and I think I may add without
transgression of the proprieties that
there is nothing in the present business
situation to suggest any great gain to
the country as a result of the inaugura
tion of democratic politics."
In his letter Whitelaw Beid said:
"You find the country in an unfortunate
condition. Your duty is to do every
thing to help the president and congress
to relieve the situation and our party is
not unfaithful to that duty, but while
loyally co-operating to meet existing
dangers, we must not be charged with
creating them. The demand of the hour
now, as it has been since the 4th of last
March, is to end the uncertainty and to
let business men know where they stand.
Delay for six montliB or more argues in
its behalf extraordinary confidence in
the superior wisdom of the executive
meeting the crisis or extraordinary fear
of what a democratic congress might
do."
After the reading of tho secretary's
annual report the convention unani
mously adopted the report of the com
mittee on resolutions, reaffirming the
doctrines of the republican party and
touching on state matters.
At a mass meeting in the evening
about 3,000 people were present.
Charles Emory Smith of Philadelphia,
late minister to Bnssia, and Congress
man Boswell G. Horr made speeches,
after which the meeting adjourned.
A few days ago, says the Portland
Oregonian, in a poorhouse in Ohio, tiie
author of tho homestead law died at the
ago of 82 years. Thirty years ago he
was a very popular man in congress, and
was known as "Land Bill Allen." Sev
eral months ago ho went to -the poor-
Lhouse, and now ho has gone to the grave
yard. Whether bad luck, bad habits or
bad management brought him so low in
his old ago is not stated in tho brief dis
patch published. In fact, it does not
matter wiiich. The point ho made in
history was made in its own time, and
the result helped to hurry tho world on
its way. Many states havo come into
the Union sinco tho homestead bill be
came a law, and several were kept in the
Union which woro trying to get out
about that time; and, since facts in his
tory aro kept alive by preserving memor
ies of men, perhaps somo homesteaders
will think it worth while by-and-by to
erect a monument to "Land Bill Allen."
Ho got into tho poorhouse himself, but
ho was in his own time instrumental in
keeping a good many other people out
of it. Ho died without an acre, but
helped many another man to a good
farm of 160 acres. He pointed the way
to a plentiful and peaceful old age. and
in many a speech advocating his pet bill
drew a picture of comfort and content
ment; but somehow fate made a sort of
guideboard of him to point the way and
never go. And tho Oregonian might
easily havo pointed out scores of men
who havo done very much like "Land
Bill Allen" labored long and hard for
some scheme which promised to bring
riches and fame, but which enriched
others and gave them a great name.
The Fntnrc of American Agricnlture.
In the North American Renew the
Hon. Jeremiah Busk lifts up his voice in
prophecy concerning the future of
American farming. In his opinion, tho
changes in our methods of farming in
tho future will be brought about bv a
wide knowledge and application of scien
tific principles, ne says : "I do not
think it probable that farm implements
will be improved very much, although
doubtless on the larger farms means will
be devised to perform certain operations
by electricity or steam. Nor do I lay
any stress upon the possible revolution
in methods of farming anticipated by
those who think that the rainfall may be
controlled at will by explosives, a theory
which will, long before tho time of which
I write, have been itself thoroughly ex
ploded and given a place among the
curiosities of so-called scientific investi
gation, in company with its twin absurd
ity, the flying machine. There will be
some change in our methods, owing to a
differentiation of farming purposes
brought about by the demand for new
products, and by the necessity, in order
to make farming profitable, of providing
for the home demand all that our soil
and climate produce, and by the devot
ing of certain sections, and oven of cer
tain farms, to those products for which
they may be specially adapted. Such
specialization will be rendered more and
more easy as the cost, if not the difficul
ty, of transportation is reduced. Our
means of transportation havo been so
greatly increased during the past twen
ty-five years that it is very difficult to
imagine their being carried much fur
ther; but means will doubtless be found
by which the cost of carriage may be
greatly reduced, with corresponding fa
cility and ease in transportation."
It is, however, tho conditions of rural
life to which tho ex-secretary looks for
tho greatest changes in the future of ag
riculture in this country: "In the first
place, the averago size of our farms will
be considerably less than now. There
will be large farms, no doubt; but under
such a modernized Bystem of agricul
ture as will unquestionably prevail a
hundred years hence, what will be a
large farm then would not be regarded
as a particularly large farm at the pres
ent day. Moreover, for reasons which I
have already indicated, there will bo a
very much greater number of small
farms than now, not only in the neigh
borhood of cities, but in all those sec
tions where irrigation is practiced. The
result of this will be a greater concen
tration of population oven in rural dis
tricts, and hence far less isolation than
exists at present, and this isolation will
be still fuither diminished by good,
smooth, well-kept roads, bordered with
handsome shade trees, and available for
travel at all seasons. With such a dense
population as we shall then have, elec
tric motors will be established, without
a doubt, along many of the principal
roads, extending out several miles into
the country from every town or city of
any consequence. The telephone will bo
found in every farmhouse, and should
the present postmaster-general be priv
ileged to visit the scene of his early la
bors he will find his dream a reality, with
a rural mail delivery which will carry 1
mails daily to every farmhouse in the
land. The residents in the country will
vie in culture and education with the
corresponding classes in the cities, with
the disappearance of the many incon
veniences which now prejudice the
wealthy against country life, the busi
ness and professional men will look for
ward to the acquisition of wealth as a
means for securing a home in the coun
try, where they can end their days in
peace and comfort. No one questions
tho healthfulness of country life, and its
many advantages so far as physical well
being is concerned over the city, and
when the country home is equal in com
fort and culture to that of the city, no
argument will be needed to prove its
superiority to the latter.
"It would take more eloquence than I
have at my command to present to the
reader a picture of agricultural life a
hundred years from now as it exists in
my mind, but I trust I have said enough
to interest even those who are not
directly concerned with agriculture in
its future development, and to impress
upon them the importance of giving to
the agricultural interests due weight in
all plans or legislation looking to the
future prosperity of our great country."
Stromiharg Elevator Destroyed.
BelI-& McCune's elevator was discov
ered on fire at 2 o'clock Friday morning,
and despite the united efforts of the fire
department and citizens it was de
stroyed. The building was a frumo of
medium capacity and contained 25,000
bushels of corn. It was owned by Bell

of David City, the latter residing at
Stromsbnrg and operating the elevator.
It was partially insured.

City Council.
A special meeting called by the mayor
was held Friday evening, to consider the
petition of citizens, asking tho council
to submit to a vote, of the citizens, a
proposition for donating bonds of the
city in aid of the power "canal.
After calling to order the petition was
read as follows:
To tho Mayor anil City Council of tho City of
Columbus Gentlemen.
Tho undersigned, freeholders of.tha city of
Columbus, riatto county, Nebraska, respectively
petition your honorable body to call an election
to lw held ia said city for tho purpose of faub
mitting to tho elector thereof a proposition to
issuo coupon lionda of the said city to tha amount
of $0,000, to aid tho Columbus Canal and Power
company h corporation duly organized under
the laws of tho State of Nebraska) in the con
struction of a canal, including head gates, power
honeo and all necessary appliances for the trans
mission of electric power.
Said canal to receive its supply by tapping the
Loup river at a point near the southeatt corner

To place the matter before tho coun
cil, a3 Councilman Spoerry remarked,
he moved that the prayer of the petition
be granted and the city attorney in
structed to draw up the necessary
papers. The motion was seconded by
Newman, who suggosted that the bond
bo mado for twenty vears with a" ten-
twenty years wiln a
year option.
Councilman Galley desired to know of
the city attorney whether the city can
vote bonds for anything outside tho city
limits.
Attorney Whitmoyer said he had read
the open letter of the company, and
knew about the petition to be presented,
but ho was not prepared at present to
give an opinion. He thought, however,
that there were a number of things to
be considered before papers conld be
drawn the proposition must be definite,
as to conditions, to whom bonds paya
ble, etc
Councilman Gray said there was noth
ing specifying where this power is to be
distributed. It would bo better to put
it in shape before passage than to pass
upon it and then afterwards try to put
it in shape.
G. W. Phillips of the Power Co. said
that in drafting the petition they had in
mind only getting the matter before the
council, who, of course, were the proper
body to submit a proposition to the
citizens. They had not considered it
necessary to recite in the petition all the
details necessary to be placed in propo
sition. Councilman Welch thought that the
corporation having this in charge should
ontline what they propose to do, where
tho canal is to run, tho power to be
placed, how much of it, and so on.
Citizen, L. Gerrard said it seemed to
him that there should be a definite and
distinct proposition from the corpora
tion as to what was to be done and let
this be on the record as a part of the
contract in consideration of the issue of
the bonds. After formulating the prop
osition as it ought to be, then the people
can vote intelligibly. You want a defin
ite, square proposition, so that when the
people come to vote, they will know ex
actly what they are voting upon.' There
was one thing in the petition that it
would not be well to place in the propo
sition to be submitted, and that is that
the bonds be issued at a date prior to
the completion of the work. He had
known a number of instances where
bonds had been thus issued, been trans
ferred before conditions fulfilled, got
into the hands of innocent purchasers,
and the parties voting bonds wronged
in the matter. He didn't want to be
misunderstood. There is no reason why
the petition should contain every par
ticular.
Councilman Spoerry with the consent
of his second, withdrew his motion, and
moved that the matter be submitted to
the Power Co. for a more definite prop
osition. Pending this motion, there was con-1
eiderable talk and inquiry, Messrs. GaL '
go."
ley, Welch, Gray and Jaeggi taking part
in the discussions, after which a vote
was taken, all the council voting in the
affirmative.
A resolution offered by Gray was also
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the sense of the coun
cil is that we should give all reasonable
encouragement to the Columbus Canal
and Power Co. in aid of the construction
of the canal on the proposed route, to
the extentpf our authority.
On motion, the city attorney was re
quested to give his opinion in writing by
the next meeting as to the authority of
the city to vote bonds.
Council adjourned subject to the call
of the mayor. It was thought probable
that a proposition might be ready by
Monday evening, July 3d. As wo go to
press Monday noon, this week, can give
action taken only to that hour.
NOTES.
A petition is being circulated for an
election in Columbus township. The
matter will be presented through the
county board of supervisors, which
meets July 11th.
The members of the C. C. & P. Co.,
who have given the subject more con
siderationn than others, are enthusiasti
cally in favor of the canal power, and
naturally enough their pictures of the
future of Columbus are clear and bright.

A SPLENDID RECORD.
Clip it Oat and Paste it la Your Scrap Book
for Fatiire Reference.
While this is an advertisement for the
furtherance of Mr. C. M. Taylor's busi
ness, we deem it of sufficient importance
in a general way to put our seal or ap
proval upon his way of doing business,
so far as we havo ever heard of it. Ho
represents the Fairbury Nursery, which
does business on a fair basis, but aside
from that ha represents himself and not
only knows what he is doing, but he
gives you an equivalent for your money
and makes all his promises good.
One of the reasons why this country
is so backward in raising fruit i3 tho un
conscionable rascality of many of the
fellows who have travelled our prairies
selling worthless stock instead of good
live trees. The writer knows one man
who ordered in confidence, received in
doubt, planted with misgivings, waited
six years for the appearance of his ap
ples, and was so sorely disappointed
that every time he thinks of the scoun
drel who took his order he feels like
kicking himself all over the farm.
Wo will say for Mr. Taylor that you
need have no misgivings when you order
of him, and we say this not on his ac
count alone, but because we wish to see
this prairie country blossom as the rose,
and do so, quickly, so that we can all
have some benefit of it.
But let Mr. Taylor's customers speak
for him:
In the fall of 18!H I received twelve apple trees
and two cherry trees from C.M.Taylor. Tho
trees are doing as fine as they could do. This is
the second year the cherries have been growing,
sinco I planted them, aud I will say right here
that they have had a quart of cherries on each
tree this summer. Mr. Taylor told mo the trees
would have fruit on tho second jear, when 1
ordered them. Caspku Kautu us,
Humphrey, Nebr., dealer in Wines and Cigars.
Will say that 1 got fifty apple trees in tlie fall
of 1591 and thirty in the fall of 1892. I heeled in
trees in during winter, and planted :heai out
about April 1st. Tho trees are growing faulen-
didly. I have lost three trees out of tho eighty.
Mr. C. M. Taylor is the only agent 1 ever knew
who etajed in the same country for C or 7 years
and bold trees. From the amount of business ho
does in this country it is evident that he doe-
what he agrees to do, or ho would not hold his
trade. John Tcbsks,
Four miles west from Humphrey.
In the fill of 1391 I onlered of C. M. Taylor, of
Columbus, Nebr., the following trees: 12 moun
tain ash, 4 jHXirs. 12 apple, 6 plums, 4 cherries.
My trees are all nice and growing well. All I
lost out of the amount of trees ordered was 1
mountain ash. 1 am well pleased with the deal
ings I have had with Mr. Taylor.
Bhcn'o Zublibn, Humphrey, Nebr.
I have got trees from C. M. Taylor and have
been well pleased with the stock. Will recom
mend him to any one who wants nursery Mock.
Josr.ru He.ndf.h,
Four miles east from Humphrey, Nebr.
In the fall of 1692 1 received fifty apple trees of
C. M. Taylor, and out of the fifty they are all
growing but one or two, which havo been re
placed by Mr. Taylor. When I want any more
trees 1 will buy them from a man I know and
that will be C. M. Taylor of Columbus, Nebr.
Stephen Gebmax,
'lYt miles west from Humphrey.
Last fall 1 ordered from C. M. Taj lor of Co
lumbus, Nebr., the following trees: 15 cherry, 13
apple, 6 jiear, 8 crabs, 2 plums, 3 Russian apri
cots and 150 grape vines. All my stock is grow
ing finely excepting one or two cherries, which
will be replaced this fall by Mr. Taylor.
Wm. Foi.tz.
Three miles west from Humphrey, Nebr.
I taught trees from C. M.Taylor six years ago,
have got trees several times ainco from him, and
havo always been well pleased with my stock.
Mr. Taylor has done with mo as he agreed. 1
will recommend him to any one who is wishing
nursery stock John F. Schebf,
Four miles south of Humphrey, Nebr.
In the fall of 1892 I bought 1C0 apple trees of
Mr. C. M. Taylor, and will only lose 2 or 3 out
of the ISO. My trees were all straight, good
eized, with nice roots and are just what they
were recommended to be by Mr. Taylor. They
are planted just east of my house, 2i miles
southwest from Humphrey, Nebr.

1 have 50 apple trees 1 received from C. M.

Supervisors Pollard, Mylett and Ger
ber, the committee appointed to examine
into the safety from firo of the records
'of the county judge, will doubtless re
port at the next meeting of the board.
There are a goodly number of people in
the county who have never become rec
onciled to the removal of the county
judge's office out of the court house,
especially after the county had been put
to the expense of making an addition to
the court house with special reference
to providing an office there for the
county judge.
Since the foregoing was written, we
learn that the committee made their re
port, as follows :
"We find on investigation that the
records now in use in the above named
office are unprotected by any fire-proof,
and, whereas, in our opinion the loss of
said records, which would be the proba
ble result of the burning of said office
where now held, fully realizing that
such loss would be serious to the people
of our county, and inasmuch as said
county judge is now occupying an office
not provided for that purpose by the
county, therefore be it
Besolved, That it is the seuso of this
board that for the protection of said
records said County Judge Hensley be
and is hereby required to either remove
his office to the room provided by tho
county or at his expense remove the
cunty judge's safe to his present office."
The report was adopted.
As this action of tHe board is not in
accord with Judge Hensley's wishes, the
probability is that the request, perhaps
in a different form, may again come be
fore tho supervisors, with arguments
from the judge in favor of his views.

For she will on the Fourth, at picnic or show.
For town beaux set her cap.
Tho modiste's mouth tells never a word
Of a hidden love of books; .
She plies her needle, no murmur is beard.
And the new gowns hang from. the hooks;
Gowns of blue, of pink and white,
rinni of mauve and yellow.

Of their tones won

From a Saxon ancestry.

And deep aa the starry skies,

In the depths of Iwr starry eyes.
