The Madison Chronicle says there
is another gang of grocery peddlers

Maurice Mayer vs. Harriet Wright

Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Hudson went to
Silver'Creek Saturday, to visit with the
family of their son, Horace. The judge
returned 'Monday. Mrs. H. will remain
two weeks. He says that the thermom
eter was 101 in the shade Saturday un
der the trees; that the bridge there has
been completed and business is better
than usual in consequence; thatayounjr
man named Morey overworked himself
in the water and in consequence died
Monday morning after a brief illness;
that Mr. and Mrs. Wanke, old-time
residents, go to Europe for a several
months' visit; that he talked with some
of the Colorado men eastward bound,
and they felt very thankful for the treat
ment they had met with at Grand Is
land, having been furnished with bread,
meat and coffee, enough for present
needs and some to carry with them;
they simply had nothing left at home
and with starvation plainly in sight they
struck out.
The alliance picnic at Platte Center
Saturday was hardly what was antici
pated by the committee, the crowdbeing
very small, owing to the farmers being
in the midst .of their harvest Plank
seats and a platform were erected in the
grove north of town for the occasion.
Fred. Jewell presided over the meeting.
Judge Grimison of Schuyler first made
a short speech, followed by Senator
Allen. Mr. Allen is a good orator, a
deep thinker, a scholarly gentleman and
holds his listeners' attention through
out his speech. Of course his subject
was the leading one of the times, the
money question, and handled after the
usual fashion of the populists' theories.
About two hundred and fifty men
hunting work passed through the city
Sunday on a freight train. They are
mechanics, miners, printers and other
artizans out of employment and out of
money. They were fed at Grand Island,
and will be received everywhere, where
there is work. It is trials of this sort
that test the character, not only of those
who are in need, but likewise of those
who have the means to supply that need.
Let the rule be all along the line to help
these men who are doing their best to
help themselves.
Years ago John Lisco (son-in-law of
G. C. Barnum) insured his life in the
Bankers' Life association for $2,000, then
died, and the association refused to pay
the policy on the ground that Lisco mis
represented the state of his health; that
he never paid all his premiums, and that
he did or did not do several other things
that he should or should not have done.
But Mrs. Lisco sued the association and
secured a judgment of $2,341.77. The
association thinks this is wrong, and
has filed a petition in error in the su
preme court.
All that is written or printed should
be good for instruction or something
else, and we suppose the following is
under tho rule: The claims committee
of the Lincoln city council has rejected
all claims for damages based on the
Hood of June 3, alleging that it was
"unprecedented, could not have been
anticipated, and was an act of God; that
the sewers aided the passage of surface
water to the extent of their capacity,
and that the city had no control of the
rain." The council coincided with the
committee.
The able editor of the Cedar Rapids
Republican has evolved from his inner
consciousness a scheme to make useful
the 4,000,000 acres of land in the Band
hills, and people them with a population
of 125,000. He would have the govern
ment give, say $1,000 and 360 acres of
land to each settler, under necessary re
strictions and safeguards, of course,
160 acres to be planted to trees and cul
tivated. The project is set forth in
glowing terms, and is well worthy of
consideration.
Last week we printed the note pur
porting to have been written and signed
by Fannie Post, stating that she had
been captured and was held as a prisoner
by tramps on an island near Schuyler,
the note having been found in a bottle

was written on the back of a receipt,
part of which was torn, but read as fol

Pete Albaugh went with the crowd
Sunday to Lincoln, the first time he was
out of town by railroad in twenty-one
years. He was afraid something extra
ordinary might happen to him on the
occasion, but it didnt. There were
about three thousand people on the B.
& M. trains into the capital city; the
day was spent by the crowd at Bur
lington Beach, boat-riding, bathing, etc
Albert Becker fractured a bone of
his right arm Saturday, while exercising
on the trapeze. He was cared for by
Dr. Evans and is getting along all right.
The little fellow was out playing and
said his arm didn't hurt him so much
when playing as when sitting around in
the house. It wouldn't be the Becker
nature to be non-active unless there was
absolute necessity in the case.
Judge Post says that really the only
new things at the World's fair are some
of the electrical exhibits; Mr. Kummer
says the Germans have the best of for
eign exhibits; Mr. Friedhof says that
Nebraska has a splendid showing in ag
ricultural hall, and everybody says that
California displays her products to great
advantage.
One of our citizens, a cautious, care
ful and observant business man, took a
trip into the country recently and gives
it as his opinion that the corn crop will
not be so large as many are calculating
that it will be. Those who are making
time drafts on this year's corn crop will
do well to go slow.
George McFarland started for Chi
cago last Wednesday night. George has
aj genius for machinery, and if he don't
find in the great city a situation that
will hit his inclinations we miss our
guess. Columbus has several bright

ness in Chicago.
