Mr. Reed, representing the Pioneer
Ry association of Omaha, was in the
city yesterday making arrangements for
a picnic of the association to be held in
Frankfort park, Saturday next. The
excursionists will be accompanied by a
band of music, and are out for a general
good time. Mr. Reed thinks there will
be at least 1,000 to leave Omaha. Our
citizens should give the visitors a royal
welcome and do all they can to make
their stay here pleasant.
A writer in the Platte Center Signal
says, speaking of the proposed canal
here, that he "is sure there would not
enough water get to Columbus to mn a
sewing machine." This expression is of
a piece with the remainder of the ar
ticle. On the authority of expert en
gineers we beg leave to say that the
proposed canal could, at the bluffs north
of Columbus furnish water enough in
which to comfortably drown all 6uch
writers in a very short space of time if
they dare to take the risk.
Mrs. Thomas Mylett of Lost Creek
township received very painful injuries
from an accident last Sunday while re

and the wagon partly tipped over; all
the occupants jumped out and in so
doing Mrs. Mylett fractured her left
limb, breaking both bones so that they
protruded through the flesh. She is
getting along as well as could be ex
pected.

down by. One of the "hobos" said
"Here go some local 'hobos,' let's have
some fun with them," and at once began
trouble. This was what our citizens
heard near midnight; four of the shots
were by the "hobos" and one by the
assisting citizen. Policeman Phillips
got a slight bruise in the face, and
landed five of the "hobos" in the.cooler.

PATRIOTIC PEOPLE.
THEY COME IN GREAT CROWDS TO
CELEBRATE IN THIS CITY.
rerytltiiig Contributes to the Pleasure of
the Occasion, and Patriotism Keceives a
Centle Boot that Will be Felt Through
out the Year.
Probably no finer, or more pleasant
day could have been selected, or manu
factured to order for the occasion just
warm enough, just cool enough, no
threatening storm, absolutely nothing in
the way, so far as the weather was con
cerned. The program, while not very elabo
rate, was enough for the occasion, and
the firemen, to whom, with a few other
citizens, we are all indebted for the work
that made the "doings" of the day not
only acceptable but delightful, the fire
men, we say, deserve great praise and if
thej' shall be money out of pocket when
the bills are rounded up, they certainly
ought to be re-imbnrsed.
Those good citizens whose early mprn
ing slumbers were disturbed by the
bombing sounds which reminded the
old soldier of Yicksburg, were the least
hilarious in feeling of any, so much has
the harmony of the nervous system to
do with outward expressions. It is no
less right than expedient, however, that
on the nation's great gala day the first
greeting in tho morning should be a
reminder that somebody lives to rejoice
that on the 4th of July, 1776, a nation of
freemen was actually born on the earth,
although it was only after years of
bloody war and still further years of
earnest thought that the best form of
government on earth was perfected and
began to be a growing wonder to the
world. Changing circumstances and
conditions have made necessary some
amendments, but the constitution which
our forefathers framed has been pre
served to us in all its essential features.
With the added years it more and more
seems to have been a work inspired, so
perfect has it proved.
Early in the day the city began to be
lively with people from the country, and
tho national colors in all shapes were
thrown to tho gentle breeze, making the
prettiest picture that ever can greet the
patriot's eye a flag, representing all
that we have achieved as a nation, and
representing the sovereign power of a
happy, prosperous and free people.
The trades parade took place with a
route as publishediu last week's Jouit
nal, and some of the displays were so
good that they would have been credit
able anywhere.
John Huber marshaled the forces
with his usual promptness and success.
The strains of the Columbus band
were welcome notes to a listening public
that has lately been longing for some
good music, and their work was heartily
enjoyed. No public occasion of t his sort
seems American without a- band "to
swell tho breeze."
Next came the city council, the fire
men, the S. of V. drum corps, trades
displays J. H. Galloy, J. B. Delsman,
A. Dussell & Son, Stires & Lamb. Bar
ber & Co., Herrick, Abts & Calto, Fried
hof & Co., Standard Oil.
J. G. Pollock called the assembled
people to order, and, after patriotic airs
by the band, Rev. Elliott returned
thanks to Almighty God for his good
ness, mercy and guiding providence to
us as a nation, after which G. W. Phil
lips, mayor, delivered a very appropriate
address of welcome, touching upon pa
triotic feelings natural to the occasion.
When he gave expression to the thought
that on the next Fourth of July our
friends would be welcomed to a double
celebration, that of the nation's natal
day and the completion of one of the
greatest works of internal improvement
the irrigation and power canal, the
sentiment was heartily cheered.
Rev. Rogers then read the immortal
document which never fails to arrest
the attention of patriotic Americans
when uttered in pure voice and proper
emphasis.
Messrs. Taylor, Whaley, Zinnecker
and Coolidge delighted the audience
with an effective rendering of the song
"All Hail, tho Red, White and Blue."
A. L. Bixby of Lincoln, formerly of
this city, and one of the greatest wits
our country has as yet produced, was
then introduced as the orator of the
day. He preluded his address by re
ferring to the time, sixteen years ago,
when he landed in Columbus with a pair
of bronchos, a carriage, his wife, and a
small amount of money, and said that
ho was thankful that he had his wife
still with him. He was thankful that
thero were so many thousands of happy
homes in tho state, and hoped yet to
acquire one for himself. I am not an
orator, he said, couldn't bo if I wanted
to, and I don't want to. I'll not keep
you waiting more than two hours. He
had written out his speech and he would
Lxead it, men read some more, xne
witty; among the sentiments peculiarly
applicable to the present situation was
that "in times of national distress the
true patriot will counsel obedience to
law. America is the last place on earth
where the anarchist is justified in plying
his hellish avocation. Let revolutions
come, if need be, but let them be peace
ful revolutions at the ballot box. A
government cannot retrograde whose
people can read and write, for those who
can read will think, and those who think
act, and Americans are a nation of
thinkers." As to injustice, he said it
existed and would always exist "until
the Christ principle is established in
business as well as church affairs, and
the golden rule comes homo to roost in
the hearts of all men."
Through the courtesy of the Tele
gram, we are allowed the use of their
type to give the poem read by Mr. Bixby
at the conclusion-of his address:
This is our country's natal morn.
This is the flag we love,
'Its folds upon the breezes bonie)
All other nags above.
Let not n single star be hid.
Each one a blessing briiiKs;
This fliig in band a man can bid
Defiance to the kings.
Behind it sixty million stand
As one united whole
Free men in freedom's holy land.
All working for a "pull."
Here the oppressed of every clime.
Have sought for liberty.
Where all the bells of heaven chime
The anthems of the free.
No tyrant hand may ever seek
To forge the cruel chain.
Or still the voice of those who speak
And never speak again.
Look at our colleges and schools
Whose belfrys kiss the sky.
Where those wno yesterday were tools
May know it all a id die.
Each man a sovereign in his might.
As measured by his vote;
He may this week fur one man light
And next week change his coat.
No humble meed of deference
To titled snobs v.e pay;
But honors give to good hard cense
In animated clay.
When freedom opened wide the gates.
And made this world a better world.
Right here in the United States
Her brightest banner was unfurled.
ADd be who first that emblem bore.
For whom today we shed our tears.
Got up on his hind legs and swore
That it should wave a thousand years.
Unnumbered thousands shed their blood.
To vindicate that grand decree.
And spread the onward rushing blood
Of full, round robust libeity.
Cod blei our land iu woe or weal
And b'.esa each women, child and man.
And teach us all this day to feel
As patriotic as we can.

Laughlin $2.
The greased pig race created consid
erable excitement, the first time was
declared "off," as the pig broke the
crowd on the Bide of the track and after
being chased by the chasers, got lodged
in Hughs's lumber yard; the second
race followed and Jack Kurt got the pig
for the prize and sold it for $3.
The potato race, prize 81, was won by

fwo miles, and was one of the most in
teresting parts of the day's program.
Rudolph Miller, Earl Peareall and F. H.
Lamb were the wheelers, sometimes one
being ahead and sometimes another.
The lead seemed to be between Pearsall
and Miller. On the "home stretch"
there was a Blight collision, Miller being
in the rear of Pearsall; the wheels some

Stires.
The tug of war was what attracted
the notice of the most people; a long
platform elevated about four feet had
been provided; a two-inch cable, also,
and ten Americans strung along on
one-half the rope to pull against ten
Irishmen nt the other end. The tug
lasted for twenty minutes, the muscles
of the contestants bulging up on their
bodies the judges pronouncing the
contest a tie.
The greased pole yet carries the Hag,
no one undertaking to climb it; for a
similar reason the hose and donkey
races did not take place.
A game of base ball between the Co
lumbus Cyclones and tho Punkin Ridg
ers, prize $10, resulted iu favor of the
latter, 5 to 'J. It was a tine game, the
very best playod here this soason, and
Ed. Early had the pleasuro of being the
impartial umpire.
The fireworks in tho evening, lasting
till 9 o'clock, were witnessed by a host
of people l he aged boys and girls
seeming to be as well pleased as the
little men and women.
The committee will have about 30 to
pass over into the treasury of the fire
department, along with everybody's
thanks.

Suburban Items.
Owing to going to press earlier than
usual last week the following items were
laid over:
Bert Lawrence was in Columbus a
few days last week visiting his mother,
Mrs. R. W. Young.
A surprise party was perpetrated on
Abbott Olney Tuesday of last week, the
occasion being his twenty-fourth birth
day. A very pleasant dancing party came
off at Walter Butler's last Friday even
ing, which a largo number of our young
peoplo attended, many of them coming
from Columbus.
Miss Alice Wise returned home last
week, having finished her term of school
at Ashland, since which time she has
been enjoying a second attack of mea
sles, having had the disease when about
two years old.
A skunk burrowed a hole under J. T.
Belford's hen house and in one night
killed about a hundred chickens. Mr.
Belford decided that such an appetite
was a little too expensive to support,
and set a trap and caught the marauder.
Last Saturday afternoon as Mr. and
Mrs. Backenhus were going home from
town, their team of colts took fright at
the raising of an umbrella and started
to run. When near Harry Reed's place
they capsized the buggy in the ditch,
dragging tho occupants under the cover
for some distance before releasing them.
The team ran as far as R. W. Young's,
when they jumped through the garden
fence, breaking the buggy tongue and
badly demoralizing the harness, when
they were caught by Miss Nellie and
cared for. Mrs. Backenhus was brought
to Mr. Young's house, where it was dis
covered that her nose was broken and
very badly cut. She was taken to town
and placed under the care of Dr. Evans
who so successfully administered to her
injuries that she was able to be removed
to her home about fifteen miles north
east of town the same evening.

Tho Herald says that C. J. Phelps
has just finished setting out two acres
of tobacco on his land in North Schuy
ler. We understand Mr. Fletcher and a
few others will also raiso smaller fields
of the weed. That this crop is destined
to be a genetal one in this particular
locality thero seems good reason to be
lieve, as tho experiments already made
prove that it can bo raised at a good
profit, which means, of course that good
tobacco can be grown in our soil.
