Garlow of Butler county appears to be perfectly rational in every respect but one. and that is that he has allowed jealousy to preoccupy his mind, and upon that one thing he seems to dwell. Teams can be seen hitched to covered wagons going east in great num bers. We presume they are going back east to winter with their wife's folks and will all be back in the spring, to go to work with renewed vigor. James Keckenlively. who recently passed over to the Summer Land from David City, expressed this sentiment a few days before his death "This is the way we ought to do in this world.

Columbus, who has been with the Ch- ' ion Pacific railroad for a third of a ! century, visited Norfolk yesterday He remembers the time when Norfolk con- ained but one or two houses near the :reek.

In di5erent parts of the state Wed nesday there were visible at 1 o'clock m the afternoon two very bright sun dogs.

From a recent number of the Fre mont Herald we clip the following: Probably the longest and quickest bicy cle ride by a lady in one day in r.h?s sec tion of the country was taken by Mrs. Eva Getringer last Sunday.

Before the engineer could back his train of fifty cars onto the siding and the brakeman could turn the switch, on , , . ! . ., . ... . '. . ana tne crasn was temDie, so loua tnat it could be heard all over the city. The freight engine took fire at once causing an alarm to be turned m which brought out the entire fire department and a large crowd of people, some placing the number at two thousand. When the crash was over the two en gines looked like one long engine with , , . one sinoKe stacir. m tne center, so closelv were thev driven together. One the front end of the first mail coach Were two trampe. one of whom jumped and the other was instantly killed by the tender being telescoped into the mail coach. The boys worked heroically to extricate the unfortunate man and just before they got to him there was an explosion of gas, from the tender which sent them unt of the coach m a great hurry. The gas caught fire and for a time it seemed as if the car would burn, but a few pails of water put the fire out and they got the man out by jacking up the end of the tender He proved to be Lndwig Uplendorf of Essen, Germany, 44 years old and on his way to Denver. He had a small bundle and forty cents m money One of the mad clerks was hurt on the foot and returned to Omaha the same evening. The engine men on both engines saved themselves by jumping. Engineer i Decker put on his air and reversed his engine before he jumped. Passengers m the rear coaches were somewhat snaken up but no one injured. Sunday the Union Pacific wrecking train crew were at work picking up the pieces of the wreck. They came fully prepared and handled the large heavy trucks of the engine with ease. When thev looked over the tender they found her as innocent of running gear as a stone-boat, so they picked her up and loaded her onto a fiat car and hauled i speed shall not exceed twelve miles, and between F and Qumcy not more than six miles per hour. At six miles an hour it does not seem possible that such an accident could have happened. rrEiis. The body of Uplendorf was buried here Sunda; The loss to the Union Pacific by the wreck was figured as 31.750. The mail train was composed of four mail cars, two coaches and a sleeper. Ed.

The Water supply For quite a long while the water sup ply of the city has been short, the wells being inadequate to furnish what the pumps could raise. The people provided against this by authorizing the city council to enlarge the system of wells. It is hoped that the new arrangement will be completed this week. The wells, thirty-five in number, have been sunk, but the contractor has been delayed on account of the mams not ar riving. They were unloaded Monday morning, and if tnere is no mishap, we shall be able to announce in next week's Jochx.h. the successful completion of the improvements. In the meantime, however, the city cfiicials have been in hard lines to fur nish water to the full extent desired by everybody for everything, and yet retain a safe amount m the stand-pipe to fight fire. It has been an impossibility to do this, and let the lawn sprinklers run at I win. anu so tor several aays tne mmr have been turned ofi at a late hour so as to give opportunity to put a safe supply m the stand-nine One evening at nine tne depth of j waer in ine stana-pipe was amy s -" "--i ir when it should have been 5.1. The mains were shut on" and the supply was deepened to 471", feet by 11 o'clock. By the waterworks ordinance. Sec S, the right is reserved "to cut ofi the sup ply of water at any time, any permit granted to the contrary notwithstand ing." The city authorities not only have this right, but it is their dnty to exer cise it. when in their good judgment, it is deemed necessary for the welfare of the city Thce who were indignant Sunday night at the fire, because there was no water in the mams, might have been less i inclined to swear, had thev known that the instant water had been needed from j the nydrant: to quench the fire, it I would have been forthcoming.
