mon sewing needle. It is supposed that
the child swallowed the needle some
time in the past and it thus worked
itself to the surface.
A friend of agriculture suggests
that if our state university would take
boys there and train them as specialists
in taking charge of dairies; of ranches
devoted to raising live stock, also to the
management of the ordinary farm, the
state institution would be doing a much
needed service, and show the young men
that the farmer should be as learned as
any man in those lines which involve
the business he follows.
Patrick Murray predicts a winter in
which we are to have five feet depth of
snow on the level all over the country.
Mr. Murray has had considerable expe
rience of the weather in Nebraska, but
what reason he has for forecasting mat
ters to this depth, we are not able to
say. Certainly, much snow the coming
winter would be good for crops next
season, and perhaps the wish is father to
the thought with Mr. Murray.
It is highly proper that the people
take more interest in the conduct of city
and county matters, and there seems a
little awakening all around in this di
rection. Every man is interested, be
cause whether he is a property owner or
not, his liberties and frequently his life
are at stake, in one way or another.

year and didn't know what they were,
now has thousands of them. Those who

tive of agriculture. Don't allow one of
them to live.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Mickael Hogan Instantly Killed Bjr
tke Discharge of a Skot Gob.
Our citizens were shocked Friday
evening to hear that Michael Hogan,
living a few miles northwest of the city,
had accidentally shot and killed himself.
The particulars are as follows:
About half-past 5 o'clock Friday af
ternoon Mr. Hogan started from tho
house to take a lunch to the men in the
field, and carried a shot gun with him to
shoot rabbits. In climbing through a
wire fence .his clothing caught and the
gun in some way was discharged, the
shot entering his chest and passing
through his heart, burning the flesh and
clothes on his left side. He was found
dead in this condition by his sons at 6
o'clock, his coat sleeve and pants caught
in the wire.
Mr. Hogan was 58 years old; he came
to Columbus in 1869 and has been one
of Platte county's best citizens for all
these years.
He leaves a wife and eight children.
These are: M. J., Stephen, P. H. and T.
C, Mrs. John Sullivan, Mrs. M. Burke
and Misses Sarah and Agnes. All live
here except Mrs. Burke, who is a resi
dent of Omaha.
The remains were buried Sunday at
Shell creek Catholic cemetery near
Gleason's, a large number of sorrowing
friends of tho family attending the
funeral.
Base Bull.
Columbus and David City ball teams
crossed bats here Friday, and all in at
tendance expected, at the end of tho
first inning, to see a first-class game and
a good score, but were doomed to be
disappointed, for in the first half of the
second, King David stuck his toes into
mother earth and when his half of tho
inning was over they had a pile of runs
higher than "Rudy" Miller's head, and
virtually winning the game. The Da
vid City boys got "onto" Coffee and
batted him hard, making ten runs in tho
inning. David City's third basemau,
while after a foul, ran over two kids
sitting on tho ground and rolled them
over several times but missed the foul.
Most of the crowd made up their minds
after the third inning that David City
had too much color for Columbus. Ed
die, the great, pitched a goo'd ball,
striking out sixteen men. Batteries,
David City, Reinhart and Maupin; Co
lumbus, Coffee, Hoare and Lacey. Fol
lowing is the score by innings:
David City 0 10 3 3 0 2 2 4 0-24
Columbus 0 0 3 0 0 0 2 3 0 8
OLAKKR VS. COLUMBUS.
Sunday's game at the park was well
attended, but about half the crowd were
looking on from the outside. We were
not present but are informed that the
game was interesting from tho fact that
Chirks canio down with the intention of
shutting our boys out, in which they
reckoned without their host, and but
for an error or two on the part of one or
two of our boys they would have come
within one of being shut out themselves,
as one ruu was all they earned. Kleff
ner, the new pitcher for Columbus, did
put a twist on the balls that Clarks was
unable to find. Some of tho Clarks
batters wero great on foul balls, making
it dangerous to bo anywhere near the
diamond; ycung Schonlau got a hot
foul on tho foot which knocked him
down, and a reporter got off the fence
mighty quick. Batteries Clarks, Hug
gins and Shank; Columbus Kleffner
and Lacey. Umpire, Ed. Hoare. Score
by innings:
Clarks 0 0 0 10 0 0 135
Columbus 11430001 x 10
tuite a Blaze.
At 1 o'clock Friday morning the fire
men were called out to a fire discovered
to be in the barn of Charles Snodgrass,
just west of the Creamery. Before the
firemen could get there, the flames had
gained such headway that it was impos
sible to save anything.
Two horses and a cow were burned.
One of the horses was an imported
stallion worth 81,800 and insured for
8500. The horse was fastened in the
stable with two chains aud as the fire
broke out in the front part of tho barn
the horse broke the chains and backed
to the rear of the barn but before boards
could bo taken off, he dropped dead. It
is thought tramps set the fire, as some
one was seen running from the barn
when the lire was discovered.
A petition signed by fifty-four free
holders was filed with tho county clerk
Monday praying for a special election
for the purpose of bonding the township
to raise money to build the irrigation
canal. We think all freeholders should
be willing to vote a reasonable amount
of bonds at tho present time in order to
give our idle- men employment this fall.
If this is not done we may have a good
number of deserving poor on our hands
this winter who will have to be cared for
and won't have any canal either. More
than that we want the water which runs
to waste down the Loupe on our lands
which will make fat pocketbooks, fat
bank accounts, fat hogs, horses, cattle
and every thing is bound to prosper.
One of Mr. Palmer's boys had his
foot badly cut in a stalk cutting ma
chine or sled last Monday. whil at
work near Boone. A great big gener
ous slice was shaved off the bottom of
the foot about three quarters of an inch
from the bottom and extended some six
or eight inches towards the toes. Dr.
Lewis was called and sewed the pieces
together but is of the opinion that
young Palmer will have to wait a very
long time before he can indulge in the
highland fling with any comfort. Al

Two companies of state militia
passed through here Monday en route
home from the Lincoln encampment,
one company from North Platte and one
from Central City. The boys had large
smiles on their faces, to think they were
leaving Lincoln, where, they say, they
were misused, being kept out at Bur
lington Beach on the hot sand, with no
shade for a week, on hard tack and
coffee. They say "They won't go there
any more."

Wo Sweep the World.
It is an old saying that a "new broom
sweeps clean" but when we say "we
sweep the world" we mean that among
all the railways of the world none stands
higher in the estimation of the public, in
all especial points, than the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. It is the
only line west of Chicago which runs
electric-lighted, steam-heated and vesti
buled trains between Chicago, St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and between Chicago
and Omaha. Try it. F. A. Nash,

Omaha, Neb.
Father KyaaV Will.
The contest at Omaha over the will of
Rev. James M. Ryan has been reported
in the Omaha World-Herald. Thomas
Coffee, a nephew, testified that a week
after tho making of the will, December
25, 1891, Father Ryan was induced to
give up $24,000, by the bishop, for char
itable purposes, and within a month had
deeded over a house and lot. He said
Father Ryan feared he would be excom
municated if he did not do this.
Mrs. Lynch testified she expected her
little boy would be left something. Mrs.
Lamb told her, at the time it was done,
that Father Ryan was going to sign
away his property. Witness volunteered
she thought it a put up job. She had
conversations with Father Ryan four
teen months prior to his death. He said
he became sick and made his will, not
knowing what he was doing. It was
also testified to that Father Ryan com
plained, while in the hospital that ho
was cooped up and wanted to get out;
that his money had all been taken away
and none cared what became of him.
Miss Sarah C. Bryan, a niecoof Father
Ryan, was called to the stand. She
said she had kept house for Father
Ryan at Columbus. When in Chicago
he told her that he would leave her a
house and lot in consideration of her
services; that he had been forced by tho
bishop to make the will and wanted her
to see a lawyer to ascertain if they could
not write to the bishop and have tho
privilege of rescinding the will.
Tho proponents began their case with
tho testimony of Mrs. Mary Lamb. She
took care of her brother "a long time.
She had never spoken to him about his
property in any way except once when
she told him what Mrs. Coffee had said
about her inducing him to leave her his
property. Father Ryan denied ever
having been told so. After the bishop's
second visit ho expressed himself woll
satisfied with the disposition of his
property, as the bishop had promised
him 850 a month. This was paid him as
long as he lived.
Since the foregoing was put in type,
other testimony has been published.
Mrs. Lamb and her daughter denied
that assistance was rendered Father
Ryan, by guiding his hand, when ho ex
ecuted the deed to his property. The
claim of Thomas Coffee that when he
entered tho room, after tho will was
executed, that Father Ryan took hold
of his hand, and assured Coffee that he
had been remembered, was controverted
by both witnesses. Dr. Coffman testi
fied to having noticed no signs of deli
rium from pain on the day the will was
executed.
On Thursday last County Judge Bax
ter passed upon the case, holding that
the document was legal and entitled to
probate, it not having been obtained by
undue influence. Notice of appeal was
at once given by the attorneys for tho
contestants, and the matter will go to
the district court.
Father Ryan had been a priest of the
Catholic church for upwards of forty
years, and during that time he had ac
cumulated property worth something
like 840,000. It was discovered at his
death that, excepting 88,000 worth of
property left to his sister, Mrs. Lamb,
had been by will disposed of to the
church. As soon as the will was filed
for probate, some nieces and nephews
instituted a contest, alleging that tho
disposition of the property to the church
was secured by undue influence exerted
by the bishop and others in authority.
