D. Thomas of Postville was in the
city Wednesday. He passed his Fourth
at Genoa and had an enjoyable day, of
course. He couldn't help contrasting
the condition of the Indians he saw
there with those he saw on the same
ground in 1872 a world-wide difference
in every respect. As to crops, Mr. T.
says that they are good in his vicinity.
He has one field of oats, 25 acres, that,
if nothing bad happens them from now
on, he thinks will turn out the finest of
any he ever raised. They had two good
soaking rains more than we have had
here this season.
George Welker, who has been work
ing for Charles Monson, south of town
for the past month; took it into his head
that Clarks was not large enough for
him and skipped taking with him Mr.
MonBon's pocket book containing eigh
teen dollars and some papers. Marshal
Cochran followed him as far as Colum
bus and there captured him. Welker
returned the pocket book and enough
money besides the amount stolen to pay
all the costs and was released. This
makes the second time this fellow has
been arrested within the past few months
for stealing, the time before this for
stealing a trunk at Columbus and bring
ing it to this place. A term in the pen
itentiary would perhaps teach such
fellows as him a lesson. Clarks Leader.
Often it is the unexpected that
takes place. This tnte remark received
an illustration on a brilliant scale the
Fourth of July at Fremont. Of course,
right-minded people must hold to the
principle that there is no effect without
a sufficient cause, and so it was in this
instance, but it was one of those things
dependent upon the momentary im
pulse of an individual, and which dem
onstrated to Frank Clark of this city,
what he tnought he fully knew before,
that there are "sometimes circumstances
in life over which we do not seem to
have control." At Fremont, Frank was
standing, with two other young men,
beside the balloon as it was beingfilled.
Just as the balloonist was ready to
ascend, a companion of Clark's gave him
a sl'ght pnsb, and, being lame, Clark
could not gather, himself, but landed in
the basket, and was suddenly taken up
into the air about two hundred feet. In
coming down, the combination struck
the side of a steeple, injuring the para
chute somewhat. Frank was sun
burned and very dark-colored in the
face before he started on his involun
tary voyage into the air, but those who
saw him do say that on his return his
face was as white as snow. He declares
that he never was so scared in all his
life, and that he wouldn't duplicate the
performance for all the money in the
world. It is said that Turkey" Hagel,
who anxiously watched Clark ascending
into the heavens, shed large tears and
groaned as though he had lost his
partner for sure. Clark was not in
jured except a slight scratch on the
hand.
Judge John G. Higgins of this city
was in Omaha the other day; the news
paper interviewer fell upon him and got
several opinions "handed down," among
them, that the republicans would not
re-nominate Justice Maxwell; that the
independents will not nominate him,
and have not a conspicuous lawyer of
their own of sufficient strength to com
mand tho situation, and that thus there
is hope for a good democrat, and said
the Judge, "I would like to see the dem
ocrats nominate Judge John J. Sullivan
of Columbus. He is 38 years of age, and
as a law er and a district judge he has
made a splendid record. He has lived
in Nebraska for fourteen years. 'Would
the fact that Justice Post's home is in
Columbus operate against the nomina
tion of Judge Sullivan?' Not where
Judge Sullivan is known, replied Judge
Higgins. This is no time for geograph
ical politics. Judge Sullivan is not a
candidate, but if the democrats nomi
nate him I believe they will elect him."
Judge Sullivan may well entertain an
ambition for the bench, but we are not
yet ready to believe that he can succeed
as against Justice Maxwell. Since put
ting the above in type we have seen
Judge Sullivan and he requests us to
say for him that he is not in any sense
a candidate for the position, anti would
not accept a nomination, if tendered
him.
W. H. Hess of Carlsbad, Calif., was
in the city Saturday. He and Mrs.
Hess are homeward bound from a trip
east, and are visiting friends in the vi
cinity of Duncan and Gardner. Mr.
Hess is wonderfully well pleased with
California, and says that they raise all
the cereals, all the vegetables that are
produced elsewhere, nearly all the var
ieties of fruits that aro raised any
where, besides having coal, iron, gold,
great forests, etc., a veritable little world
in itself, not only as to extent of country,
but also as to volume and variety of
natural resources. Ho speaks of the es
tablishment by Cudahy of a packing
house at Los Angoles, and says that he
proffered to contract to pay five cents a
pound for hogs for the next five years.
Jacob Libbey, a former resident of this
county, is making money, raising hogs
on alfalfa, corn and barley. A poor
man, Mr. H. says, has as good a chance
in California as anywhere else, but he
must be industrious and energetic.
School teachers get from S60 to $75 a
month teaching country schools nine
to fifteen and twenty pupils, but they
must be well informed in order to secure
a certificate, having to pass a severe ex
amination in a great number of branches,
the test branches, however, being read
ing, writing, arithmetic and grammar,
in which their percentage must be at
least eighty-five per cent. A normal
diploma, however, goes anywhere.
Thursday a man giving his name as
Leslie was arrested on a charge of steal
ing two hypodermic syringes from Doc
tor Clark's office. He had been, there
several times to see the Doctor for treat
ment, had no money, and wanted the
Doctor to send him to the hospital for a
week or so; said he had a job of type
writing to do in the city so soon as he
could get able to work. The Doctor had
no suspicion of the fellow's being a bad
citizen until after Mr. Van Es inquired
of him if he had missed any of his syrin
ges, tolling him that he had bought one
of a man who claimed to have found it
in Sioux City. Even then Dr. Clark did
not suspect this man of stealing his syr
inges, but a second time Mr. Van Es
spoke to him about the matter Dr. Clark
took a search and found two syringes
missing, identifying the one that Leslie
had sold Van Es as one of them. Leslie
didn't dispute anything, but said he had
no recollection of taking the syringes.
Justice O'Brien sentenced him to fifteen
days in jail. Leslie claims to be a won
derful traveler, working for the N. Y.
Herald, the Chicago Times, &c.f going
four times around the world, and accom
plishing other famous and unusual feats.
Referring to the Indian band and
its work in the celebration of the Fourth
at Genoa, the Leader says: "The street
concert which they gave in the evening
cannot be termed otherwise than grand.
Few bands in Nebraska can compete
with our Indian band in its proficiency,
and every citizen of Genoa should take
pride in it and give it substantial en
couragement, and if it attends the
World's Fair this fall will advertise
Genoa and Nebraska more than any
other feature the state has got at the
fair, Buffalo Bill's Wild West not ex
cepted." We must add that that is
saying a good deal for the band, but as a
part of the combination is perhaps not
too much. The object of the govern
ment in sending this and other Indian
schools to the fair is to show jnst how
the Indians are educated, the methods
of instructing them, and to this end the
schools are put in working order on the
fair grounds, that any who desire, may
satisfy themselves of the fact that the
Quaker policy is justified bj the bete.
A FIEND INCARNATE.
Sappoftiig He Had Marde red Hi Wife, He
Declares He Will Kill Himself
by Drowning.
The most frightful, fiendish murder
that has been committed in this part of
the country for a long time was perpe
trated by Andrew Deboney, a Poldander
living three miles south of Genoa. De
boney and his wife have had trouble for
some time past; she finally a few weeks
ago filed a petition for a divorce and di
vision of their property, which Is con
siderable. On the afternoon of the4th,
Deboney went to Genoa, purchased a
revolver, then went to the home of Mr.
Barracks, a neighbor, where he found his
wife. He emptied his weapon, three
balls taking effect, one in her head near
the brain, one in the left breast, and one
in the shoulder. After he had done this,
he proceeded to stamp and jump upon
her like a wild beast.
He then went home, bade tho children
good bye, and went to the river where
he said he would drown himself.
Mrs. Deboney was taken to Genoa and
brought Wednesday to Columbus and
placed in the Sisters' hospital, where
6he nowis, under the care of Dr. Evans.
Thursday the doctor removed a bone
from the left temple that was partly
imbedded in the brain, and Friday she
lingered in a semi-conscious state, but
as she was in a delicate condition at the
time of the assault, there is not much
hope for her recovery.
The man has a bad temper and threat
ened-to kill his wife before, and she evi
dently was afraid of him as sho had him
put under bonds of $300 to keep the
peace.
Several years ago the family lived
north of Columbus, on Grand Prairie,
and have lived there and near Genoa
nineteen years. Both man aud wife have
been married before and have -children
by their first marriage.
LATER.
After Deboney was put under bonds
to keep the peace, Mrs. Deboney went
to a neighbor's to live. On tho Fourth
Deboney went over to whero his wife
was stopping, the rest of the family
being at a picnic. - -
The only reason assigned or conjec
tured for the crime, says the Fullerton
Post, is that the day before, while ho
was away, his wife went to their home
and removed a greater portion of their
furniture.
At 1 o'clock Sunday morning, Mrs.
Deboney gave birth to a child which
lived five miuutes. At 11 o'clock a. m.,
same day, death relieved her from her
earthly troubles and the intense suffer
ing of her last days. Tho remains were
taken to Tarnov Monday for burial.
On Thursday Deboney was captured
south of the Loup river and taken to
Fullerton for safe keeping. Yesterday
he was brought to this city, and it is hop
ed that the law will be duly observed in
his case.
One of our citizens, E. O. Rector, a
former resident of Kansas, recently
wrote to an acquaintance there that,
owing to the unusually dry season peo
ple here were calculating on getting only
about half a crop of small grain, but
that, he informed his correspondent,was
better than a Kansas full crop. This
reminds of what a Denver paper said
the other day to the restless citizens of
Colorado who are crying out against tho
condition of things in the silver state:
"There is no coal in Nebraska. Thero is
also'no iron, lead, copper, silver or gold,
and no oil, yet tho people of Nebraska
think that life is worth living and they
believe that their state has a great fu
ture before it." Mother Earth is the
first depository of all our wealth, but
Dame Nature seems to hold to the prin
ciple that the steady-going people, those
who are capable of taking a good, whole
some gait and keeping it, are, after all,
the most prosperous and the nearest to
the right way. Civilization means di
versified industry, of course, agricul
ture, manufactures, commerce, mining,
but the greatest of all as the foundation
for right living of individuals and com
munities is agriculture, properly con
ducted, and in all the lands under the
sun we do not believe there is any to
excel Nebraska for mixed farming and
stock raising.
M. H. Barber, president of tho visit
ing and examining board of the state
soldiers' home at Grand Island, is out
in a lengthy article denouncing the
Zentmeyer administration for economy
falsely so called. Mr. Barber, in one
paragraph set forth a truth that will
well bear repeating: "The home is not a
penitentiary or a reformatory institu
tion and the intent of the soldiers' and
sailors' home was the expression of a
feeling of patriotism and gratitude for
the services of the old veteran who had
lost his health or limb perhaps, and not
tho least of all an opportunity to pro
vide a home for himself and loved ones;
because of his own patriotism and love
of country. In this respect it is differ
ent from the other state institutions,
and its management should be different.
Instead of being run for the purpose of
making political capital it should be
run wholly in the interest of and for tho
comfort of the indigent soldier or Bailor."
