little children congregated at the hos

An unusual interest seems to bo
taken all around this year in school
matters. At Cedar Rapids, a great many

threo was appointed, at a fee of $2.50 a

together, returniug in November. Their
many friends here wish them an enjoy
able sojourn and a safe return home.
A case was up Thursdav before
Judge Hudson growing out of a little
difficulty between Conrod Baumgart
ner's herder boy and Chester Albro, the
charge being against young Albro for
assault. The decision was "no causa of
action," and the costs, amounting to
$4.8j, were taxed up to Baumgartner.
It was evidently money out all around,
as they got out of the corn field to come
into court.
The Journal seems to havo been
doiug most of the gathering of local
news in the city for some time past, not
only for the benefit of its own readers
but also for the benefit of some of the
other papers of the city, which, without
credit, have been using our work as their
own. Of course The Journal is not
copyrighted, but some recognition, or
other acknowledgement of our work is
certainly due from these contem
poraries. C. R. Coulter, A. T. Reynolds and
Chas. Locke of Toledo, Ohio, arrived in
the city Saturday on bicycles. They aro
on their way to San Francisco, claiming
to average sixty-seven miles a day, riding
thirty-pound wheels and carrying forty
five pounds of baggage. W. C. Whitall
and G. G. Blyrngs also came in; they
are from Minneapolis, bound for Los
Angeles, and are averaging forty miles
a day. This exercise seems very favor
able to health.

For a short time Wednesday even
ing Schuyler and vicinity was threatened
with a destructive wind storm. The
wind came from the southwest, and
filled the air with dust and rubbish, but
beyond the breaking of a few limbs from
the trees and upsetting a few 6mall out
houses little damage was done. E.
Klein's barn on his beet farm in north
Schuyler, was rolled over until it stood
on the roof among the growing saccha
rine plants. As it was empty there was
nothing hurt but the beets. Herald.
The case of Holly Thew at North
Bend is one of those occurrences calcu
lated to call attention of the public to
the manner in which school affairs are
conducted. While experimenting in the
high school laboratory of that place, an
explosion occurred, from which, we are
informed, he has become totally bund.
At the school meeting the other day a
committee of six was appointed to in
vestigate the matter thoroughly. At
torney Strong gave the opinion that the
school district was responsible for
damages.
D. L. Bruen of Grand Prairie was in
tho city Friday. As ever, he is a great
friend of tho creamery as an institution,
and of ours he says it is the best enter
prise ever started in the county. In his
neighborhood alone, farmers have had a
regular monthly income from sales of
cream, of $20 to $70 right along, which
has been to them ono of their largest
sources of revenue and profit. The man
who strikes a blow at the dairy interest
hits Bruen where he lives. Butter and
eggs are two among the most important
elements of our national wealth.
C. J. Watson, living about eleven
miles southwest of Columbus, in Polk
county, had on Friday noon 200 acres of
corn standing about two feet high. It
looked strong and good. In the evening
it was subjected to tho pelting of a
myriad of hailstones, large and small,
followed by a good big rain. W. H.
Lewis had specimen stalks from the
field Saturday, and when he was told
that the corn would likely bo all right,
probably wasn't hurt, etc., he was in
clined to question the veracity of tho
"relators" and insist that, if that was
the fact, we had better have more such
hailstorms.
The tendency of the times is toward
specialty lines of work in all industries,
and in this, certainly, rightly managed,
is more profit than in general work, be
cause special preparation and fitness
give increased custom and this builds
up business, making profits still greater,
and again adding to facilities to make
the specialty more effective. In Tenn
essee there 'are two men who on a farm
of 700 acres make a specialty of raising
potatoes. They grow two crops an
nually, get about 125,000 bushels, em
ploy a groat many negroes, make their
own barrels, and clear some good money.
We believe that specialty farming would
pay well in Nebraska.
T. Morris of Crestou was in tho
city Friday. He had been up at Peter
son's, west of Platte Center, to holp
straighten out a corner in dispute, and,
although he differs from County Sur
veyor Rossiter, he thinks he is right.
Mr. Morris returned soveral weeks since
from Wyoming. Ho says that country
has bright possibilities before it when
railroad communication becomes more
general; it has a wealth of natural re
sources outside of agriculture, which of
course depends upon irrigation. Oil in
some places is dipped up like water and
used for lubricating engines. The
places which depend on mining havo a
precarious existence at best, and just
now are languishing.
The county institute is now closed
and the teachers dispersed to their sev
eral homes. The attendance was some
thing over one hundred and the teachers
generally expressed themselves very
enthusiastically over their instructors.
A number of the teachers were in favor
of continuing a few weeks to have sum
mer school, but the condition of the
funds would not justify the superin
tendent in this expense. Prof. O'Connor
of West Point and Prof. A. E. Parsons
of Creston, Iowa, have made many
friends who will be glad to welcome
them back again any time. Thursday
and Friday were examination days and
now the teachers will be out seeking
fall terms of school.
Wo go to press a little earlier this
week, mailing The Journals on Tues
day so that all the forco working on the
paper can fully enjoy the whole of the
Fourth without a thought of ordinary
business. This day, above any in the
whole calendar, (if any difference is to
be mado of days), should lie held sacred
to patriotic memories. With all tho
faults of varying administrations, our
form of government, our constitution,
is the best yet devised by men, and the
people of this country, with all tho fa
cilities which they have for informing
themselves, and with their well-known
energy for righting matters when a crisis
arrives, will continue to demonstrate
their ability for self-government, and
tho management of every interest en
trusted to them, no matter what ob
stacles may bo presented.
Peter Schmitt now has a mill on
Shell Creek, run by water power, with a
capacity of fifty barrels of Hour a day,
that is a delight to see, and doubtless
will prove to him an excellent invest
ment, though ho has put into it a very
considerable sum of money, somo $9,500
in the way of improvements over the
original purchase, which itself was a
considerable sum. And still he goes on
improving, Frank Clark and George
Andrews having the contract for a new
flume, which is to be completed in ten
days; in the meantime the mill will not
bo running. Tho additions to the mill
make it, in every respect, equipped for
first-class work tho flour product is the
very best. Mr. Schmitt has a little
sample of irrigation two acres planted
to potatoes, upon which he has been
piping water from the creek. He ex
pects, ono of these times, to put in a
California pump, and irrigate his little
farm of forty acres. He has no doubt he
can do this very readily.
It is almost incredible that there
could be so much change in people as
the following would indicate. Wm.
Lawrence and Alice DeMoss, known to
quite a large circle of Journal readers,
seemed all the world to each other when
they were here, years ago. A nicer
young lady you would scarcely ever see,
and Lawrence seemed all right. A
special telegram to the Inter Ocean from
Cleveland, under date of June 18, says:
"William H. Lawrence, one of the pub
lishers of the Ohio Farmer, and a man
prominent in social and business circles,
has been sued by his wife for alimony.
Mrs. Lawrence accuses her husband of
the grossest kind of cruelty, alleging
that he has assaulted her on an average
of forty or fifty times a year, blackened
her eyes on Christmas Day, bruised her
head against a register, and otherwise
made her life a burden. Once, 6he says,
he chased her through the house to
throw her from an upper window, but
she escaped by running down the back
stairs. Last Thursday, Mrs. Lawrence
asserts, she was out driving with her
husband, and because she would not
hold the horse in front of a saloon while
he went in and took a drink he swore at
her so terribly that she left the vehicle.
He followed her in the buggy, swearing
at and abusing her, and at Erie street
deliberately tried to run over her. On
Murison street he jumped out of the
buggy and began to drag her along the
street, thus attracting a crowd. As a re
sult of this they separated. Lawrence

Sup't R. J. Porter of Culbertson
was in the city Monday and gave this
office a pleasant call. He will bo re
membered as teacher in our high school
several years ago. During his brief stay
here he made a number of friends among
our best citizens. From here he went
to Creighton, and has been at Culbert
son tho past two years. Ho says that
Dundy, Chase and Hitchcock county
are in sad plight this season on account
of the dry weather. "The past two years
they had splendid crops, but this season,
so far, has been so very dry that tho
crops amount to comparatively nothing.
People have been disposing of their
horses, cattle and hogs, in anticipation
of a scarcity of feed, ono woman recently
selling eighteen good cattle for $100.
In his visit to Denver recently Dr.
Voss had quite an experience in going
up and down a railroad where the grade
at times was 200 feet to the mile. We
traveled over that same road, on the
"loup;" above Georgetown looking out
ward from the circling track, it seemed
as though our car was hanging in mid
air without any support whatever. Tho
doctor tells us that he sat on the plat
form while making that particular part
of the journey, and didn't get light
headed either. Alfalfa is, he says, one
of the greatest productions of eastern
Colorado, western Kansas and Nebraska.
At Dodge City, Kansas, a man has alfalfa
that he gets three to five tons on the
acre, and although they have had no
rain this season, the alfalfa looks very
fine, and the roots go down ten feet.

School meeting wa9 held on Tuesday of this
week; as atraal. the affaire of the district were

We understand a wee new comer has lately ar
rived at the home of Mr. E. C. Morrow. We did
not learn whether it was a boy or frirl.
The recent rains haye greatly revived all vege
tation and also the spirits of our people, so
much so that they feel like celebrating tho
Fourth in good old-fashioned style.
A lively runaway took place one morning last
week., Mr. Sam Gertsch's hired hand was haul
ing milk to the separator and undertook to run
a race with another team, when bis wagon upset,
spilling the milk over the ground and damaging
the wagon to some extent. Fortunately no

A SAD CASE INDEED.

Man Takes Hid
James Cook walked from Creston
Wednesday of last week to his brother
Frank's in Bismark township, his
brother taking him back by conveyance,
but noticing that he didn't seem quite
right.
On Friday he came down again, but
his brother and Mrs. Cook were absent
from home, nobody being there but the
children.
James asked Louis Dickey (step son
of Frank Cook), for a pistol; he told him
they didn't have any.
Cook then caught sight of a shot-gun,
and took it down from its place.
He went out into the hog yard; the
lad, being suspicious that all was not
right, followed at a short distance, but
the fatal shot was fired almost as soon
as the yard was reached, and the man
dropped dead, tho shot taking effect in
ms oreast.
The unfortunate man was about
twenty-seven years of age, and it seems
that a young lady, to whom he had
given an engagement ring, had returned
the same to him. A letter directed to
her with this ring enclosed is said to
have been found after tho suicide.
These particulars wo get from Emil
Held, a neighbor, who says that Coroner
Heintz was at the premises, and he
thought had held aD inquest. Dr.
Heintz has been absent from the city
most of the time and wo have not been
able to learn further, but- doubtless the
facts are as stated.
Death of Coadactor Charles Hoffman.
At Omaha Saturday morning of heart
failure, Charles Hoffman, aged about 32
years.
The deceased has for many years been
a passenger conductor on the Albion
branch of the Union Pacific road, and
was well known all along the lines as an
accommodating, energetic man.
He had been complaining a few days
of not feeling well and on Thursday
went down to Omaha, where his family
reside, and Saturday morning he died
suddenly as above stated. The remains
were taken to Albion Sunday, a special
train being provided from Columbus to
Albion by the IT. P. Ry Co., consisting
of two coaches and one baggage car, for
all friends of the family of the deceased.
The casket was opened here for friends
to take a last look upon the mortal re
mains of him who has passed to the
spirit world.
Mr. Hoffman leaves a wife and two
little girls besides his aged parents to
mourn his loss. The funeral services
were held at Albion Monday afternoon,
tho Masonic orders of Columbus, Genoa
and Albion taking charge.

STATE SUPERINTENDENT.
Who Will Next be Honored by the People
of Nebraska.
Tho above question will bo answered
by the republicans meeting in conven
tion at Omaha, August 22. In tho past
the republican party.has been particular
ly fortunate in the high character of tho
men it has selected to fill this position,
and never has it possessed as great a
number of efficient, capable mon to select
from, as it has now. Tho latter state
ment being true, it would scarcely bo
prudent politics to continuo the occu
pant for a period exceeding four years.
Among tho new men in the field, active,
capable and scholarly, tho name of no
one stands out more prominently than
that of Charles S. Conoy, of Stanton
county. Mr. Conoy is ono of tho most
energetic, scholarlv and enthusiastic
educators in tho state. This statement
is borne out bv tho high character of
the work of the schools of Stanton
county, and by tho educational zeal of
his teachers, patrons and pupils. Mr.
Coney is widely and popularly known
among the teachers of the slate, aud to
them particularly would his selection be
a source of satisfaction.
In the selection then of Charles S.
Coney for tho officoof superintendent of
public instruction, the convention will
have made a choice creditable aliko to
the cause of education, the party and
the state.
Let the next superintendent bo Charles
S. Coney of Stanton county.
