Miss Alice Turner has been elected to the position of teacher of the gram mar department of the Cedar Rapids schools for the coming year. Mr. Parks, of the Platte Center Globe, was in the city Thursday, seeing about the "conditions precedent" to the political meeting next Saturday. The time for redemption of lots 3 and 4, block 234 city of Columbus, from tax sale, will expire Dec. 18, 1893. They were taxed in the name of M. Smith. Will. Murdock is here from Cali fornia to spend the summer. He says that business in the land of sunshine and flowers is a little slow just now. Tuesday of last week was Odd Fel lows' day at the Fremont Chatauqua. Past Grand Master H. J. Hudson repre sented the fraternity from this place. Messrs. Flynn & Schaffer had ex cellent success July Fourth with their dance and social at Stevens's grove, and will, during the season, provide others. Mrs. Mary Stonesifer is rapidly re covering, under Dr. Evans's treatment, from a very severe illness. She speaks in strong praise of the Doctor's ability. Lon Demilt arrived in the city yes terday, direct from Denver. He says that business in the west is "slow." Mr. D. was a resident of Genoa five years ago. A number of very nice rains lately have put the soil in excellent shape, and we hear no more grumbling about dry weather. It hasn't, however, turned the other way, as yet. Nick Blasser recently repaired two bridges in Grand Prairie township, one at Rothleitner'a, the other at Hellbusch's. He also constructed a bridge over Shell Creek for John Cramer.

He wants to put in 160 acres this fall. E. A. Miller, of Polk county, has left with us a sample of his winter wheat. The berry is large and plump. Being absent when he called, we did not get his methods and estimate of yield. J. C. Fillman went to Utica yester day morning to attend the funeral of a little nephew, the son of Mrs. Lembach, who has visited here a number of times. Mrs. Fillman has been there the past week. R Kummer returned Thursday from the World's fair, Mr. Berney following him Friday. Both were very much de lighted with what they saw and ex perienced, even the weather was pleas antly cool. Frank Crandall has returned to the city from Omaha, and accepted a posi tion at Delsman's store. His family will follow him shortly. They have a host of friends here, who are glad to see them back again. Daniel Hashberger, one of the old est citizens of Colfax county, having come there thirty-six years ago, has re moved to Gitchell, Mich., to live. A goodly portion of Schuyler is located on land which he homesteaded. A. Haight starts this week for a four or five months' trip, going to Helena and then to Fort Peck. The captain enjoys himself very much on these an nual outing trips, and his many friends will wish him a safe journey. Wm. Ripp of Humphrey was in the city Saturday. His visits here have been few and far between for years. His many friends will be pleased to learn that Time has dealt very kindly by him, and that he looks in excellent health. The game of "Apollo," a musical game played with cards, and the inven tion of Mrs. J. W. Evans, of this city, is one of the most novel of modern games, and will doubtless soon become pop ular. It is a practical idea. Fremont Herald. Deputy Sheriff Bake of Fullerton, who was shot while defending his pris oner Debaney, had a surgical operation performed on him Thursday. The bul let was removed from the back part of his head, and it is hoped that he may escape blood poisoning. The ladies of the M. E. church realized about $20 from the sale of ice cream and cake at the park Wednesday evening last. The old saying that a Methodist picnic always brings rain was verified on this occasion, as a delightful shower fell that evening. "Men are only boys grown tall. Hearts don't change much after all," "and this is true of women, too, only more so," remarks an exchange. "A woman can go on enjoying her daugh ter's dolls and her son's fireworks, and can talk baby talk and catch the measles right along until she's 50." E. D. Fitzpatrick will shortly add dry goods to his other lines of business this will surely give him his hands full, but he is very capable and enter prising, and with the help he has in his own family will doubtless make a suc cess of his new business, as he has of his old. H. C. Hensel, editor of the Journal at Cozad, called on these headquarters while tarrying in the city one day last week. He tells us that James Ware, a former resident of this vicinity is now marshal of their town, and that his old est daughter, Daisie, is a successful school teacher. David Tatum of Chicago, 111., min ister of the gospel in the Friends' church, will address the people, in a union meet ing of all the churches of the city, at the Presbyterian church next Sunday evening. His theme will be: "The Home and Saloon, and How to Save the Boys." All are invited. It is the intention of Messrs. Flynn & Schaffer to provide occasional seasons of amusement at Stevens's lake, during the summer. The entire success of the exercises on the Fourth is an assurance that these occasions will be all that can bo desired in the way of innocent and pleasurable pastime. A bolt of lightning struck the dry grass in a place down in Kansas setting it afire; the rain came down in torrents immediately after, but the grass was so dry that the rain couldn't keep up with the fire. If Frank Clark had been there, he might have "swiped" out the blaze with that balloon of his. The cyclone which struck Chris. Miller's place several days ago (an ac count of which was given in last week's Journal) did other damage beside. At John Novotny's on Maple creek, it tore down a wind mill, smashed wagons, and broke down outbuildings; Fred Schley's barn was torn all to pieces. A number of Y. M. C. A. members took a carriage ride Sunday evening over to Bell's school house, south of the river to hold services. They were Messrs. Heineman, Buzza, Brodfuehrer, Zinnecker, von Bergen and Adkins. The association intend holding services ev ery other Sunday in Oconee. It is said that the trend of opinion among railroad organizations is to re move restrictions concerning the dis cussion of politics, so that hereafter there is likely to be more of politics in the lodge rooms of labor organizations, at least a canvassing of the merits of in dividual candidates for office. The Btate committee of Odd Fellows consisting of Grand Master Weir, Past Masters Hudson, Hoagland, Loorais and others, have made arrangements so that all members with their families may at tend the World's fair on Odd Fellows' day, Sep. 25, and have special rates. The start will be from Omaha, Sep. 20. The advertisement of Newman & Schaad will be found in today's Jour nal. These gentlemen are well known to most of our local readers, and will be found reliable and trustworthy by all who may have occasion to transact busi ness with them. Give them a call when considering anything in their line. Schuyler people are somewhat excit ed over the finding of a bottle floating in the river and containing a note signed by Fannie Post saying that she had been captured by tramps and was held pris oner on an island near Schuyler, which was described. Searching parties have been at work but no trace of the girl has been found. We are constrained to express an unusual amount of thankfulness to our contemporaries, first the Argus and now recently the Telegram, for their com mendatory remarks concerning the steadfast and unwavering purpose of The Journal to tell the truth, That is one of our objects in life, so to speak, and, as James Parton was wont to re mark, "tho chief business of an editor is to keep lies out of his paper," we must have had remarkable success in .that line to meet with so cordial, generous and unstinted praise from even rivals in the publishing business. Punishment and reward consist in "what yon are rather than where you are," a truth which we modestly commend to the serious study of the worthy gentlemen who are so solicitous for our welfare. J. S. Freeman was out at his farm Wednesday on Grand Prairie; the forty acres of winter wheat had been cut, and it is supposed will yield twenty bushels or more to the acre. One place in the field, a little lower than the rest, and where snow lodged during the winter, will yield about forty bushels to the acre. John thinks that the force-feed drill is the machine to use for planting, and suggests that it be run east and west, where the land lays favorably for it, and left without subsequent drag ging. Thus the little ridges would be favorable for catching the snow and de taining it. E. M. Thomas of Butterfly, Stanton county, was in the city Thursday on his return from South Omaha, where he had taken a car load of cattle for which he got $4.80. Wood, Bancroft & Co. went down with three ear loads of cattle, and Thomas McCurdy with one of hogs. They loaded their stock at Madison, driving thither about twelve miles to get to the Union Pacific. In May Mr. Thomas shipped some cattle to Chicago from Leigh, making the run in thirty hours, and getting $5.20. Mr. Thomas tells us that John and Frank Anson are now living in his neighborhood. Brad. Slaughter writes from Chi cago to the Fullerton News, as to how to go to the fair: "Don't take a trunk, pack everything in a collar box or a grip sack. Leave the full dress suit (if you have one) at home, this applies to the women as well as the men. Remember that you are going sightseeing not to exhibit your clothing. Wear only plain garments that will not catch dust, or if it does catch it won't show it short dresses and the oldest, broadest, easiest thick soled shoes you have." On Eleventh street Friday was illus trated the beauty of teaching horses to stop at the word "Ho." True, in this case, the team were not going at a very lively rate, but they were going and were a block away before the driver saw them, but they stopped promptly at the word of command. We have known the rule applied with success to a team in full gallop, and it is well worth the while of drivers of horses to practice this method of an old and thorough horseman. A reception was given in the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. Friday evening, in honor of the new secretary, Mr. Adkins. Many friends of the association were present who recognize in their work one of the best of christian agencies-. Mr. Adkins is an enthusiastic worker and will no doubt be all to the association that they expect. Mr. Miller of Grand Island was present and gave an interest ing talk. A short program and refresh ments were enjoyed and the gathering dispersed. George W. Clark and lady returned from Chicago and the World's Fair Sun day Miss Lizzie Sheehan was in town Monday evening on her way to Colum bus from Lindsay Thos. Ottis's new residence will soon be completed and will be a credit to that portion of the town where it is located Dr.W. M. Condon left for the east Sunday, to be absent about four weeks. Before returning he will visit the high show. Humphrey Democrat. A very interesting game of base ball was played here Sunday between two picked-up nines of Columbus and Platte Center. The game passed off agreeably except that young Griffin was hit in the eye by a bat which slipped out of the hand of a striker. A specta tor says that Columbus should organize a nine. The score stood as below: Columbus 5 2 114 12 2 018 Platte Center.. ..00011110 15 A good rain Wednesday night last delighted the folks of this immediate neighborhood, but it was a caution to hear the numerous remarks made: "It was pretty good, but not enough of it by a good deal;" "it ought to have come sooner;" "it just laid the dust a little, and didn't go any depth;" "it won't do much good unless we have a good deal more of it." However, all hearts were truly thankfnl. Miss Anna Turner, who has labored faithfully and successfully the past three years as a teacher at this school, severed her connection with us and returned to her home in Columbus last Monday. During her stay with us, Miss Turner made many warm friends among em ployes and pupils, who regret her depart ure and wish her all the good which may fall to mortal here. Genoa Pipe of Peace. A petition has been signed by all or nearly all the property owners in the neighborhood of the Reed school for a separation from the city. The move seems to be mutually agreeable all around, the main consideration, of course, being an equitable division of the property of the school district, also the indebtedness, which it is presumed can be very readily made. Peter Plant came down from Grand Island Monday, and is shaking hands with old friends. The Journal ac knowledges a very pleasant call from him and Comrade Spoerry Monday af ternoon. The program for the re-union has been published and Baker Post No. 9 will have ten tents, as usual, and their location is on the main street and op posite headquarters. The present indications are that we will have as good a corn crop as we ever had in this part of the state, and a greatly increased acreage. In spots, the oats and spring wheat have suffered by the dry weather we have had, but there will be an abundance for our needs, and the showers we are now getting will be 1 the making of the com. THE LAW UPHELD. Tk Crowd ef Ljachera who Parpos- d Execatimg the Law TJpoa Dehaaey Foilad in Their Attempt. Sheriff KaTamaach and His Poue at the Ceanty Stronghold-Two Sams af the M ardered Wmui Arrested. For several days past the general talk around town has been Debaney, the wife murderer. Saturday noon, Sheriff Kavanaugh heard that an attempt would be made that night to lynch his pris oner, the rumors being that men from Fullerton, Genoa, Humphrey and sur rounding country were to be here. The sheriff was determined to do all in his power to protect the man in his charge, and deputized some thirty men to serve as guards'. About 12 o'clock two "scouts" of the force saw five men prowling around the coal house in rear of the jail, and ar rested them; three were immediately released upon finding who they were; the other two were found afterwards to be John and Andrew Sochoe, sons of Mrs. Debaney by her first husband. They were kept in the cage in jail, next to their step-father, until Sunday afternoon, when they were released. The capturing of the spies evidently had a dampening effect on tho crowd waiting around on the outskirts of the yard, and when they found how thor oughly the sheriff was prepared for a crowd of even several hundred lynchers, they made no more trouble, but scat tered to their home9. During these moments, Debaney was wild with terror, crouching in a corner of the cell and white with fear of an im pending death. He begged the officers to protect him. While there is no sympathy for tho murderer, and every one thinks ho should suffer for his fiendish deed, yet the man has no reasonable chance of being cleared by the law, and law abiding citizens hope the stain of lynch rule will not blot our fair record. After the Bons were put in the cell, they used all the language at their com mand to add terror to the already un nerved man within their hearing but not within their reach. One day last week Debaney was ques tioned concerning his crime and he said: "The trouble between myself and wife was that she was trying for a long time to get me to deed my farm to her and I would not do it, so she left me four or five times, and stayed away from mo three or four weeks at a time. I went after her this last time, asked her if Bhe would go home with me?" and she said "Will you deed the farm to me if I go with you?" and I said "No." Then I asked her again and again, and she said "No! No! No!" and then I shot her. The man worked himself into a frenzy while talking, gesticulated wildly with his arms while his countenance pictured him living over the act at the time of the crime. It seems that Mrs. Debaney, at the time of her marriage with him, owned a farm and deeded it over to him. This is probably the property she was de termined to regain. Debaney owns two farms and about $15,000 besides. Up to yesterday noon the man had not eaten anything for two days, owing to his scare Saturday night, and was al most exhausted by weakness, hardly able to stand up. The Fremont Herald of July 11, has this account of a matter interesting to many of our readers: "In Justice Huff's court yesterday morning another name was added to the list of culprits who are serving time in the penitentiary for their part in the theft of hogs from the Bay State cattle company, which was going on on quite an extensive scale about the first of April last. The party last apprehended is Rolla Skillen, brother of James Skillen, one of the four who plead guilty to stealing hogs at different times from the company. Evidence of his part in the hog stealing was brought about by a falling out among the four who have been incar cerated in the pen since about the first of May last. Skillen, it appears, has been holding his head pretty high, the boys say, since he got a soft job at labor within the prison walls. This had finally become unendurable and the bal ance "peached" on the brother, who had thought himself safe from suspicion, and living in Nemaha county. The young man at first denied his identity and claimed the sheriff had gotten after the wrong man, but Jim told him the story of the hog transactions from be ginning to end, where they had been sold, etc., and Skillen wilted. Sheriff Milliken started out Saturday after his man whom he found at Auburn and placed under arrest. At the hearing in court Skillen plead guilty to grand lar ceny, and he was remanded to jail to await sentence when district court con venes. His companions got one year each." Mr. Roy Palmer and Miss Frances Tiffany were married at the Presby terian parsonage by Rev. O. A. Elliott, Wednesday last. The groom has been an employee at C. A. Lindstr urn's tailor shop for about a year past and in that time has made many warm friends who recognize in him the abilities requisite for a successful business man. Miss Tiffany has lived here from childhood and has friends among all her acquain tances, who feel sure she will prove a model home-maker. The Journal wishes them a happy future. Miss Laura Buhler of, Saratoga, Wyo., is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Wm. Hagel. She is on her way home from attending school in Omaha. Miss Gustie Kropf of Schuyler has been visiting her friend, Miss Lulu Schroeder the past week, and in honor of the two young ladies a sur prise party was given at Wm. Hagel's residence on Ninth street Monday night. The premises were captured by a hun dred people, and with music, dancing and refreshments the hilarity was un bounded until 1 o'clock. For Sale.
