Last Thursday evening the fast
mail out of Omaha was loaded with del

convention; when the train reached
Fremont it was boarded by a lot of dem

asked the woman who sells saudwiches
on tho train if she was a democrat, and
she answered him by saying, ''Does my
breath smell like yours?" Great ap

was set to work on Ottie Baker because
of his support of Congressman Bryan at

the matter because it does him good to

The following paragraph concerning
one of our townsmen appeared in the
Omaha Bee of last Weduesday, the day
of the republican state convention: "Gus
G. Becher of Columbus, Nob., is in the
city. He is a candidate for state com
missioner of lands and buildings and is
backed by a strong state delegation.
Mr. Becher is one of the old settlers of
Platte county and is well known
throughout the state. He was county
treasurer for two terms and the conven
tion allowed him to name the delegates,
who came here unpledged. Ho is mak
ing a strong race for the place."
An article gathering together
'World-Wide Echoes of the Parliament
of Religions," by tho Rev. John Henry
Barrows, of Chicago, who was chairman
of the parliament, will appear in the
September Forum. The books, articles,
lectures and addresses that have been
published and delivered about the par
liament during the year since it was
held in almost every civilized language,
would fill many volumes. Perhaps no
previous meeting of men anywhere on
earth was ever 60 much discussed within
the first year that followed it. Dr.
Barrows sums up the results of this year
of "echoes."
On Friday there were quite a num
ber of thefts in the city: John Bnrrell,
at the waterworks, lost a new coat and
vest; C. A. Beardsley, a vest with a sil
ver watch, at his shop on Olive street,
his attention being called to the front
door, while a confederate did the steal
ing; at Gus. G. Becher's $35 in money
was stolen; the family jewelry was rum
maged over, but nothing noticeable
taken, supposed it was not taken be
cause marked, and could readily be
identified; at J. E. North's dwelling
house an entrance was made, and some
clothes taken, but as Ed's, pants were
too long-legged for the thieves, they
dropped them at Becher's. Notwith
standing the fact that eight'men broke
out of the city jail, the authorities think
they have three culprits that they can
send to the penitentiary.
The following paragraph would have
appeared in last week's Journal except
for the writer's sickness: George Scott
returned Monday from McFall, Mo.,
where he had been in attendance at the
funeral of his father, James A. Scott,
who died here August 14. Mrs. Scott
also accompanied the remains, and
stayed to visit a week. They arrived at
McFall on the evening of the 16th, and
at 10:30 on the morning of the 17th the
funeral took place, attended by about
two hundred of Mr. Scott's- old friends
and neighbors. Mrs. Delilah Hyde, Mr.
Scott's daughter, who arrived here the
day before his death, also accompanied
the remains to her home. Mr. Scott
was born in Edinburgh. Scotland, Jan.
10, 1823, came to America in 1842, set
tling in Maine; was in the Mexican war
in T-'S; was married in Des Moines in
1849, and moved to California in '52. In
1880 he married his second wife and in
'82 moved to Nebraska, where he lived
the rest of his days.

SAENGERFEST DAYS.
THEIR THIRD AND BEST FEST EVER
HELD IN THE STATE.
Tfco Saengerfest a Complete Saecess
M osically, Socially aaa
Fiaaaciallr.
Columbus presented all the appear
ances of a big Fourth of July Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Every business
house in town was profusely decorated
with flags and bunting, and where these
were lacking sunflowers, evergreens and
branches of trees were prominent.
The meeting of the Nebraska Saen
gerbund was the cause of all the dis
play. The Saengerbund had not met
before in five years, and last year when
Omaha did not care to undertake the
entertaining of so large a crowd as was
expected, our Maennerchor signified
their willingness to undertake the task
with pleasure, and they have been plan
ning and preparing for months for the
great event.
Friday noon the first degations came
down from Madison and Stanton. Then
Seward arrived, over the B. & M., and
later in the afternoon Lincoln, then
Grand Island and, about 6 o'clock, the
three Omaha singing societies and the
First Infantry band of that city. The
Schuyler Saengerbund came Saturday.
The Columbus band with reception
committees of the Maennerchor, met
each society at the depot and escorted
them to the Maennerchor hall, where
refreshments were immediately served.
Friday evening the reception concert
was given to a very appreciative au
dience. The opera house was decorated
with flags, flowers and tho pictures of
tho great composers; the stage had been
re-arranged, the fly curtains having been
taken out and an elevated stage built at
the rear to better accommodate the or
chestra and chorus of singers.
" After a selection by the orchestra, G.
W. Phillips, mayor, welcomed the visit
ors and proffered them the freedom of
tho city.
Miss Meta Pohl, daughter of Fest Di
rector Pohl, delivered the "Festgedicht,"
in a manner that did her great credit,
and brought forth rounds of applause.
D. Schupbach, president of the Saen
gerbund, then read the annual address,
which received close attention from the
large throng present.
The Omaha orchestra was one of the
great attractions, and gave the audience
all they expected. In an article in the
Omaha Bee recently they spoke of this
orchestra as being very fine, nearly all
the members being soloists on their
particular instruments.
The three Omaha societies were all
excellent and exhibited a wonderful
amount of talent and good training, but
the Columbus Maennerchor are little
inferior to them. Our citizens are en
thusiastic over the singing of the society
and feel that Director Pohl, who has
been their leader for many years, has
been an untiring worker. In the Co
lumbus chorus are about twenty-five
singers, the largest chorus of any repre
sented with the exception of Omaha.
Prof. Loeb, who has lately located in
this city from Chicago, gave a violin
selection, "Faust Fantasie De Concert,"
which showed him to be a master of his
instrument. He was accompanied by
Miss Meta Pohl at the piano.
After the concert, all members of the
Saengerbund went in a body and sere
naded Mayor Phillips at his residence.
Saturday people from the country
camo in, many members of the families
of the singers camo also, making at least
3,000 in all from abroad.
Saturday afternoon at about 2 o'clock
the parade started from the Maenner
chor hall. Dr. Gabler as a member of
the Columbus Maennerchor headed the
procession, riding on horseback; then
the city council in a carriage, the drum
corps following, leading the firemen,
who acted as an escort; the Omaha band
of twenty pieces followed leading the
visiting societies; then followed the Co
lumbus band and then the Columbus
Maennerchor, each ono of which wore
red caps and carried a big full grown
sun-flower stalk. The procession was
over four blocks in length and presented
a very fine appearance.
Saturday evening the grand concert
was given. All the previously named
societies were on the program, but the
particular numbers of the evening were
the grand choruses by all the singers,
about 150 in all, directed by E. Pohl.
Both pieces were difficult and the more
impressive with the orchestra accompa
niment. The different societies have
been practicing for several months on
these pieces.
The cello solo by Prof. Steckelberg of
Madison and the violin solo by Prof.
Leitner of Lincoln, were both of tho
highest grade music and held the au
dience spell-bound. Prof. Steckelberg
is a farmer living near Madison and a
former member of the famous Gilmore
band of New York city.
Several numbers were encored and
the Columbus singers received great
cheers. After the concert, the floor was
cleared of the chairs and dancing was
indulged in until a late hour.
Sunday excursion trains were run
from Lincoln and Omaha, both trains
bringing large crowds for the picnic.
The grounds at Gottschalk's grove north
of town had platforms for dancing, which
was kept up all afternoon and until an
early hour in the morning, the Omaha
orchestra furnishing the music.
NOTES.
The services of the Omaha orchestra
cost $400.
There were at least 4,000 people at the
picnic grounds on Sunday.
It could not have been a greater suc
cess anywhere else in the state.
All the bills are not yet in, but it is
thought that the Saengerbund will be a
little more than even.
The Saengerfest will be a great ad
vertisement for Columbus these hard
times. All the visitors enjoyed them
selves, and were treated as pleasantly as
they could possibly have been, and went
away glad that they had come.

Base Ball.
Saturday at the park there was a large
crowd to witness an interesting came
between the Sugar City nine of Grand
Island and the home team. The best
feature of the game was Coffey's home
run in the seventh inning, which
brought forth a yell from the grand
stand that made the old settlers think
there were about two thousand Pawnee
Indians camped on the Loup river and
were having a war dance. Scott's catch
to right field was also good. Aside
from a little kicking on the part of the
Grand Island boys, the game passed off
pleasantly; tho crowd, however, made
up their minds that the Grand Island
boys were no league team and all bets
were in favor of Columbus, after the
third inning. Batteries: Grand Island,
Hoffineister and Liuahan; Columbus,
Kleffner and Lacey. Umpire, Ostrom.
Score by innings:
Grand Island 2 3 0 0 2 0 0 0 07
Columbns 0 0 C 1 0 2 G 3 x 18
SUNDAY'S OAME.
Columbus and Grand Island crossed
bats at the park for their second game
before a large crowd, in fact the largest
attendance since the park was opened.
Some of our local sports were foolish
enough to bank their money on Grand
Island in the start while our boys were
rolling up their sleeves and spitting on
their hands and getting ready to do the
Sugar City's up as they did Saturday to
the tune of nearly three to one. The
fact of the matter was the team from
Grand Island, (this might be rendered
Great Island) had worn all the sugar
and molasses off their hands Saturday,
and just couldn't hold the sphere, and
as to batting, one would think by the
way they handled the stick that they
were very warm and needed fanning, as
most of them failed to reach first base.
They would retire to their seat with a

At the last meeting of the county
board of supervisors, Hon. Leander Ger
rard suggested a proposition for the
consideration of supervisors and tax
payers and to be discussed when the
board meets again. It is, in brief, the
construction of an irrigation and power
canal from the western boundary cf the
county to the eastern, at an estimated
cost of $200,000, bonds of the county in
aid of this improvement to draw interest
at the rate of 5 per cent, and to be pay
able thirty years from their date, first
mortgage bonds to be issued in favor of
the county, on the entire plant, work to
proceed at once and as fast as possible,
and to be done by the people in the
several townships of the county in pro
portion to their assessed valuation. The
people can help themselves in this way,
and to their own lasting advantage all
around, and now is the time to act.
Platte CoMtr Democrat.
Wednesday last the democracy of
Platte county met at Platte Center,
being called to order by Chairman Mo
ran, Obe Terwilleger being selected
temporary chairman and L. H. Leavy
and Pat Hayes, secretaries.
The committee on credentials made
due report regularly and the convention
was full-fledged, with Georgo Lehman
as permanent chairman.
Resolutions were adopted recognizing
the unprecedented drouth, resulting in
loss of labor and earnings, assuring the
people of heartfelt sympathy and condo
lence, and urging the supervisors to
take such steps as should seem due and
proper to relieve distress and suffering
among the poor.
Cleveland's administration was en
dorsed; congressman l5ryan was en

S. senator to succeed Manderson.
Judge Hensley being Platte county's
candidate for congressional honors, he
was allowed to select the following dele
gation: Joe Lachnit, D. C. Kavanaugh,
J. W. Lynch, J. E. Okay, D. C. Carrig,

County Attorney Gondring received
the nomination for county attorney,
there being no other candidate.
A candidate for representative of the
twenty-fourth district was next in order,
there being two candidates for the
honor. Dirk Becher and Parky Doody,
the first receiving 59 vote3, the second
32. On motion, this nomination was
made unanimous.
We understand that there was con
siderable friction between the Cleveland
and tho Bryan elements, but there was
not much of it appeared in the conven
tion. It would appear almost incredible
that the free silver democrats, so over
whelming in numbers as they were,
should consent to lie down and let the
Cleveland democrats walk over their
necks, and declare thencefrom whatever
principles they pleased, but if the
Clevelandites expected that kind of a
victory they were disappointed.
They did not get it, and they are not
feeling good over it.

Chicago, Aug. 24.
Ed. Journal: If you will please ex
cuse my scribbling, I will endeavor to
give you an idea of the condition of the
corn crop along the lino I travele d
Illinois seems to be in a favorable condi
tion, perhaps will have a half crop. How
ever, things look bad, even in Illinois.
You can see field after field cut tip i n
shock. Iowa looks as if it had ono great
fire and scorched every green blade in
existence, yet thero are some fields look
ing nice and green from a distance;
pastures are brown both in Iowa and
Illinois, tanners are cutting up corn
and hauling it into the pasture fields to
feed and keep stock alive. Our friends
here, who have just returned from In
diana report that state in about the
same condition; apple crop will be very
poor this fall, in this and near localities.
One thing I have learned since I have
been here, that some miscreant is giving
either by newspaper or correspondence
or by traveling a false report of our own
state, Nebraska. People actually stop
and look at us Nebraskans in amaze
ment, seeing us look so fresh and hearty,
expecting to seo us dried up and ready
to blow away with the rest of Nebraska.
To tell you of the report, few could not
describe it, it is simply awful. In ask
ing where they received tho information
they say they saw it in a newspaper sent
to them or friend or a letter; others say
they heard men explain it, in fact some
say that they have been informed that
the state was dried up and a great wind
was prevailing and blowing it away, and
people were starving by the score. This
mistake should be corrected.
Very respectfully,
J. C. Fillman.
