Born, Saturday, January 26, to Mrs. Ellis G. Brown, a son. This was the first-born and Ellis was elated accord ingly. At last reports, mother and child were all right.

It is gratifying to see that some peo ple have nerve to push for their rights. A New York legislator has introduced a bill to do away with big hats at theatres. Kentucky is moving in the same direc tion. Columbus proposes a better way, the ladies here have started the fashion of taking off their large hats. The world do move. Tomatoes can now be grafted on potatoes and while the potato root continues to produce pota toes, the tomato grafted on the potato stalk keeps right on bearing tomatoes. If this thing continues, fried sauerkraut and cold slaw will be grown on the same cabbage stalk. Seward Blade. The L O. G. T., at their last meet ing, elected the following list of officers: C.

T., Mrs. Wolford; marshal, Gordon Cross; guard, Mr. Wolford; sentinel, John Geer. The Schuyler Quill has this to say of one of our citizens who took part re cently in a concert there: "The writer is no judge of classical music, hence will attempt no comment except to say that the violin playing of Mr. Loeb was prob ably as fine as was ever heard in Schuy ler and an entertainment in itself." C. N. Powers has been supplying Silver Creek with a fire apparatus, the pump of which is, in part, an invention of his own, and which has given good satisfaction four, 4-ktch cylinders at tached to a shaft turned by ordinary horse power. A stream of water was thrown 45 feet high, from a ?4-inch nozzle through 600 feet of 2J-inch hose. County Clerk Sillik turned over to the county on his settlement with the commissioners last week, "8301.90 excess of fees for 1894. This we consider ex ceedingly good inasmuch as the loaning business and real estate transfers have dwindled to almost nothing and con sequently abstracting and recording have proportionately diminished. Al bion Calliope. The town that is willing to furnish 240 acres of land suitable for camp, 75 tons of hay, 100' cords of wood, 1,500 tents, drinking water for 50,000 people, stock water for 2,000 teams, 40 tons of ice paid guards to protect property, distribute $350 worth of advertising matter, furnish 50 saddles for use of cavalry division, ammunition for a sham battle, and a liberal cash donation, will receive in return the location of the Seventeenth annual reunion of Nebraska soldiers and veterans. Columbus could furnish the water and the ice. The Commercial says that a car of coal and a quantity of provisions and clothing had been received at Cedar Rapids from the A. O. U. W. grand lodge for distribution among needy brethren of that order. The Workmen have done' several very .praiseworthy deeds this winter in Nebraska, and they seem to be" made of the true material. Thursday night last burglars en tered the saloon of Mr. Luchsinger on Eleventh street, and carried away about 850 worth of liquor and cigars, besides flooding the floor with cherry wine, emptying a keg of it. There is no clew to the thieves. The entrance was made through gates in the rear of the build ing, and prying open the back door. George McGoe, a 12-year-old boy living near Cedar Rapids, while out hunting rabbits the other day with some of the neighbor boys, was accidentally shot in the eye by an arrow from a bow, sent with such force as to destroy the sight of the eye and endanger his life. In such a case a boy might readily es timate that to him one sound eye was worth more than all the rabbits in the world. Grace Episcopal church, this city, will have its monthly musical service on Sunday evening next, February 3d, at 730.

The rector will deliver an address entitled "William Cowper and his Hymns," sev eral of which will be sung at this service. All are welcome. The Signal received a pleasant call Monday from Milton Bucklin, local edi tor of the Columbus Telegram. Mr. Bucklin delivered a sermon at the Bap tist church Sunday evening, and prom ises to deliver a lecture here at some future date. It is not often we meet a printer, preacher, editor and lecturer all wrapped up in one soul, and when we do, we feel as though that soul should have a roso or two strewn along his path. Platte Center Signal. Thomas Guthrie of this vicinity was a resident of Holt county five years ago, and is very well acquainted .with the men charged with the murder of Barrett Scott, except Mulhhan. They were all homesteaders, and murder would be the last thing that one could think of laying to their charge. Dell Akin, who swore ont the warrants, is a brother-in-law of Scott. Mr. Guthrie thinks if the truth becomes wholly known, others not now mentioned will be involved in the troubles. The next meeting of the Historical club will bo held at the residence of Mr. H. Hockenberger on this (Wednesday) evening, Jan. 30, at 7:30. The following is tne program: question dox, itev.

Brown; paper, Wolsey, Prof. Williams. From Phoenix, Arizona, comes to us a little book written by a former Colum bus editor, I. N. Taylor, its theme "The Woman Question according'tdMpses and Paul," in which he maintains the negative of the following question: "Does the Bible deny to women, as wo men, any of the Rights, or excuse them from any of the Duties, sacred or civiL which pertain to men?" The Judge is" as clear, forcible and smooth a writer as in former days when he gave us the his tory of Platte county. At the last regular meeting of the Columbus Fire Department Monday evening, the following officers were duly elected for the ensuing year: E. S. Pearsall, president; John Abts, vice president; Bert.

Kilian, Richard Jenkison, Frank Fugard, D. H. Smith and S. G. Saterlee, board of trustees. Quite an interesting meeting is repprted. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Brewer were wonderf nlly surprised last Tuesday even ing by about sixty friends coming in to help celebrate the twenty-fifth anniver sary of their married life, Mrs. F. W. Reimer and Mrs. Henry Reider being the originators of the plot, in behalf of the Eastern Star lodge and other friends of the couple. Several valuable pres ents were presented in remembrance of the occasion and a grand time reported. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bushel of David City and Mrs. Rogers of Texas, the lattec Mrs. Brewer's mother, were among the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Brewer were married in Council Bluffs and are the parents of two bright boys. Christian Endeavor Day will be ob served by the societies of the city in a union meeting at the Congregational church Sunday evening at 7:30, the so cieties of the German Reformed, Pres byterian and Congregational churches uniting. An interesting program will be rendered, including short histories of the local societies; German Reformed, Miss Anna Hoehen, Presbyterian, Miss Jessie Williams, Congregational, Miss Chattie Rice; vocal solos by Misses Eulallia Rickly and May Bouton. Songs by the German Reformed society and Junior Congregational society. A recitation by Ella Rasmussen and five minute ad dresses by tho pastors, Revs. De Geller, Elliott and Rogers. A cordial invita tion to attend the meeting is extended to all. We have been shown a column and a half article in the West Chester, Pa., News from Henry Wilcox, living there, ostensibly in Nebraska's defense, but really, it seems to us, in defense of Mr. Wilcox, himself, for some reason or other. The idea conveyed by the letter is that really there need be nobody suffering in any part of Nebraska, as they could get work in the mountains of Colorado, as he did years ago. Timesliave changed; work-is scarce and has been for quite a while. For every job there are several applicants, and in such case any one can see the consequence some are without work. Nebraska will be hurt moro by such would-be defenders as Mr. Wilcox than by those who are endeavoring by all fair means in their power to prevent suffering and loss of life. Cruel indiffer ence to wants we ourselves do not feel or never have felt may be answerable for life in this year '95 in Nebraska, FARMER FROZEN TO DEATH. Throws fresi a Wagoa While Intoxicated sad Died from Exposure. The Omaha-Daily Bee of Monday con tains the following from their Leigh correspondent, under date of Jan. 27th, so that the tragedy must have occurred Saturday night It adds one more to the fearful list of woes attributed direct ly Jo the drink habit, and contains a lesson for every man who allows an appe tite to usurp the place of reason: "This morning J. H. Grotetoeschen, a prominent and well-to-do Colfax county farmer who lived in Wilson precinct, is Ijjpa; dead at the home of F. C. Arnall, three miles south of Leigh. Last night Grotetoeschen and another farmer, Fred Muhle, had been drinking heavily, and when they started for home, about 730 p. m., were badly intoxicated. About three miles south of town their team evidently started to run. Grotetoeschen fell out and Muhle fell into the bed of the wagon. When the team got home Mrs. Muhle went out and found her husband, took him in and sobered him up. As soon as sober Muhle started out to hunthis companion, and found him about sunrise, lying by the road, near the Arnold place, frozen stiff. A medical examination proved him dead. The coronet was telegraphed for and an in quest will be held. The deceased was a widower, with eight children. He was a member of Tfce Woodmen of the World lodge at this place and his family will get 82,000 life insurance." " MargHerite." The following lines come to our table with a request to publish. The mother's heart Bpeaks to her neighbors, who have lost from their home here one of tho brightest children that ever blest a household for a few all-too-brief years. Says the writer: "We knew her ho well, as a near neighbor, and playmate of our children, and while thinking of her so frequently, these lines have come into my mind." Ed. Journal. Marguerite, we sadlv miss thee, Aa the hour epoetl away; Miss thy happy, childish voice. And thy merry, winsome song That filled the house with sunshine And thrilled with fond delight The hearts of loving parents, Who are desolato tonight. E'en now, I seem to hear thee. Joining in the merry glee Of the joyous band of playmates, Yoa never more shall see. Until among the angels. They shall meet thoe, face to face. As one by one, the Savior calls them To the shining realms of peace, Where death no more can enter. As it ever does below. To rob ns of our darlings. And fill our hearts with woe; So that life's not worth the living. Till we pause, and feel, and know. They're like roses just transplanted Into sunshino, out of snow. Where free from all the sorrow That awaited them below. They, fondly watch to welcome ns, v Just on tho other shore. M. January, 1335. Knights Templar. Gethsemane Commandery Knights Templar had a gala time Wednesday evening last, the ocoasion being the ini tiation of a member of the order of the Red Cross, which, we understand, is the first degree. The Knights here are thoroughly equipped for their work, having the finest paraphernalia of any commandery in the state. After the ceremonies the wives and daughters of the Knights were received in-the haU ofJ,h$ commandery ..and.mqre. than a hundred guests sat down to a fine banquet. Dr.'Evans proposed the toasts, which were happily responded to by Judd of Albion, Phelps of Schuyler, Apple of Omaha and Clark Gray of this city. This was followed by a musical pro gram consisting of an overture by the orchestra (Miss Gleason, pianist, and Messrs. Loeb and Schroeder, violinists), a vocal duet by Dr. and Mrs. Geer, a piano duet by Mesdames Geer and Gar low, a vocal solo by Mrs. Evans, recita tion by Mrs. Stires, vocal duet by Mr. and Mrs. Garlow, and a selection by the orchestra. A number of visitors were present from Omaha, Schuyler, Norfolk, Sioux City, Genoa, Cedar Rapids and Albion, and Columbus Knights added to their already splendid reputation for hos pitality. Let not those who have loved ones afflicted with diphtheria loose hope. A child three years old, at Indianapolis, whose case had been pronounced fatal, was given the dose of a full bottle, 1,000 units of the No. 2 anti-toxin serum, and in 48 hours was pronounced well. To each of the other six children in the family 150 units of the weakest serum, No. 3; was given as a prophylactic, and no case has developed among them, although they were constantly in the company of the first child the first two days before he came under treatment. We add again our suggestion that health authorities of cities should provide for keeping a supply of this remedy at hand, to be ready in case of emergency, both as a cure and a preventive. The nature of the disease and its fearful ravages, at times, would be the only justification needed for a reasonable expenditure. Prof. Loeb of this city assisted in a concert given at Schuyler the 17th, of which the papers make the following complimentary remarks: Mr. Patchen who is a talented musician and a skillful pianist procured the assistance of Mr. Loeb, violinist, of Columbus, who proved by his achievements to be a musician of considerable ability. Being accompa nied by Mr. Patchen with the piano he performed some very difficult selections, being encore several times. Sun Mr. Loeb pleased his audience better than any violin artist who has ever drawn a bow here. When a man holds a violin at arm's length and dives at it, and treads it and pounds it, the noise is worse than the last wail of a dying calf, but when an artist like Loeb takes hold and caresses it like his sweetheart it tells him all it knows: the music is divine. Herald. Wednesday afternoon last as C. W. Crow was working near the line shaft of his grist mill at Silver Creek, his scarf caught in the set screw of a pulley re volving at the rate of 175 revolutions a minute. Crow was fearfully mangled before the engine could be stopped. Both legs were broken, one foot torn off, and several ribs broken. He lived about two hours, and told the manner in which he was hurt He had traded his mill for land and was to give possession the next day after his death. He leaves a wife and three small children. He earned $2,000 insurance in the A. O. U. W. The body was taken to St Paul, Nebr, and buried by the lodge there. PERSONAL. Miss Ella Browner was in Platte Cen ter over Sunday. Wm.

Al this writing we are reminded that we do not live in the tropics, 23Jj south of the equator. A number of tho farmers had wheat and flour in the mill when it closed last Tuesday. Some had considerable wheat there. J. P. Steinmau, one of the gentlemen that has ronted Mrs.vErb'a farm for this season, was councilman in the Third ward of Schuyler. The Farmers' and Merchants' Eleva tor Co. showed, by their action last Saturday, that they are not to be duped, but are here to stay. There was no one present that wanted to sell their stock for 50 cents on the dollar. The Star literary did not meet last Friday evening, their regular meeting night, owing to the storm.

The loss of corn cob3 is felt here as much as the failure of corn; the absence of the former makes fuel quite an item. A mild form of sore eyes has been prevalent in the school for about two weeks, but has about run its course, and is now abating. M. Sheedy has been confined to the house for a few days, with lame back and shoulder, which was brought about by taking cold. "We find that a great many old horses and cattle are dying off this winter. It appears that after they have arrived away up in the 'teens, they are no longer proof against a drouth-cured winter. The honey bees have had but two cleansing flights since being put into winter quarters, the first being on Dec. 19, and the second on Jan. 20. The thermometer registered 5fia F. on the former date, and GO' on the latter. Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Johnson's little daughtei, Mary, about 3 years of age, has been very poorly in health of late, with something like brain fever, and of which it was a great sufferer about a year ago. R.

I want to contract with farmers within hauling distance of Columbus to grow about a thousand acres of hemp. Will furnish seed and take pay out of crop grown. Have two kinds of seed; small est variety will produce ten to fifteen bushelsof seed and ljj to 1J tons straw per acre; other moro straw and less seed. Hemp stands drouth better than any crop except alfalfa. Improves land almost as much as clover and can be grown twenty years in succession on same land. On good land plowed deep it made fair crop in 1894. For further information apply at my office at mill after 2 p. m. M. Jerome. Columbus, Jan. 24, 1895. 30-jan-3m C. L. S. C.

Twenty-four years ago, this week, the following were among things referred to in The Joubxai: The man who stole Dr. Hoehen's horso was arrested at North Bond. Representative H. J. Hudson gives notice of a bill for a general herd law. Senator Leander Gerrard offered a bill to legalize acts of Merrick county. In Douglas county six men were arrest ed for stealing wood from school lands. Judge Coolidge, father of H.P.,of this city, died at Glenwood, Iowa, January 13, aged 59 years. L N. Taylor, probate judge, advertises claims day for the estate of William Hoolihan, deceased. A subscriber finds wood ashes mixed with an equal quantity of salt wonder fully agreeable to cattle. A grand ball at Lost Creek school house, Feb. 2, for aiding the directors to complete tho building tickets, 2. Omaha celebrates the opening of the O. & N. W. railroad to De Soto, 20 miles from Omaha, tho last 16 miles built dur ing the winter. Aurora Island, one of the New Hebri des, 36 miles long and five wide, entirely disappeared and left no sign. It was one of the most fertile of tho group. Provisions in Paris, though, reported scarce and dear, had not reached famine prices. The city had been closely invest ed by the Prussians about four months. The following is a "hit" now as good as then: "Said a young fellow indignantly when called a boy don't you call me a boy; I've chewed tobacco this six years." A giant by tho name of F. Sheridan recently died at Hawick, England. Ho was 7 feet 8 inches in height, measured 58 inches around the chest, and weighed 22 stone avoirdupois, that is 303 pounds. Education is condition, not quantity. One is educated when his faculties have been trained to action, and are subject to his will; only learned when knowledge is stored up in the memory and tho books are committed. The seven wonders of the modern world a quarter of a century ago are put down as: the art of printing; optical in struments; gunpowder; 6team engine; labor-saving machinery; tho electric tel egraph; the photograph. The contest for U. S. senator was be tween Thayer, Saunders and Hitchcock, the last succeeding against the combined forces, the credit in the senate being given to Cunningham, Tucker and Ger rard. Hitchcock is set down as a plain, straight-forward man who never goes back on his friends. Allen Gerrard, in a communication, advocates a herd law for Platte county based on the principles that the farmers need protection to their crops; pay for damage done; that the business of stock raising should be encouraged the work of herding to be done by firo county herders, duly appointed and qualified. The editor, after a trip to Lincoln, says: "We can assure our readers that the members from Platte county (L. Gerrard in the senate, and H. J. Hudson in the house) are fulfilling the expecta tions of their many friends, in the ability which they have shown and the respect which they have commanded, even thus early in the session." The editor wishes to know when the capitalists and business men of Omaha will make an effort to start a beet-sugar factory in Nebraska. They haven't done it yet, but Nebraska soil has de monstrated its ability to raise the beets, and capital has made tha sugar already in very large quantities, and the" enter prise continues to increase and largen. The Jocrxal cannot discover where the economy is in shipping live hogs to Chicago and shipping them back in the shape of bacon, paying freight both ways. And the same Journal cannot yet discover the economy in such work. Wo can raise here raw material of many kinds which, manufactured here, could be disposed of to great advantage all around. A poem entitled "Nebraska, Dear Ne braska," reminds that its author, O. C. Dake of Fremont wrote some lines that deserved to be remembered. A number of his poems were published in book form in 1871. The one referred to above was written at Nantucket in June, 1869, and we reproduces tho first Gtanza: "Nebraska, dear Nebraska, Thy hills are far awav Thy hills are far away- Thy bowery vales where linsrers The lomr .enamored dnv. Bat sweet the scented west-wind. As flute notes o'er the sea. Ripple from yonder sunset Aid tella y Iwtrt J thee." COLUMBUS, NEBR. Madison. From tho Chronicle. A cow belonging to George Galpin, living near tho fair grounds, was bitten by the supposed mad dog about three or four weeKs ago and has boen kept tied and confined by herself over since. List Saturday night the cow went mad, frothing at the mouth and tearing around at a great rate. Marshal McAl lister was sent for and he Bhot the poor brute to put her out of her misery. We understand that another cow was bitten at the same time but she has so far showsno signs of hydrophobia. Peter Koberg, a young man living northeast of Madison, would make a mighty good risk for an accident insur ance company. Ho is the luckiest chap we know of. We actually believe he could fall into the creek without getting wet. Last Saturday afternoon he stepped from tho top to tho bottom of the Chroniclo stairs in one step and picked himself up with seraphic smile upon his countenance and nary a bruise. That night he boarded the passenger train, and when about a mile the other side of Warnerville, with the train bowling along at a 40-mile clip, Peter rolled off from a car platform into the ditch. He was soon missed, the train stopped and backod up, and Peter, was found lying in the ditch comfortably snoozing, and not in the least injured. Whether it was the "booze" Peto had been imbibing or his natural born luck that saved him from a horrible death, is hard to determine. Cedar Rapid. From the Republican. Tho alfalfa which wa3 sown last spring more than met expectations. It stands drouth grandly. Last year tested it fully. In many ewes the farmers pas tured it too much Inst fall and on this account it may not como out so well in tho spring, but the plant has been tried enough to show that it is a great suc cess for this country. Every farmer who can possibly get seed should sow at least a few acres next spring. There are some farmers who might by tho asking get seed to use next spring, from somo old friend in tho states where tho crops were good last year. There must be nofailuro in this matter of seed. Mr. Allerton, of Chicago, and other men of largo means and extensive interests in Boono county, will doubtless furnish a large amount of seed on such terms as will accommodate many. Look out for seed of all kinds and be ready when spring comes. There nre two sides to this question of advertising Nebraska's destitution. Just at present there is great need of help, but the probability is that before this time next year we will have enough to feed half a dozen states. Nebraska is no pauper, never was and never will be. All wo ask orwould bo willing to accept is a temporary lift. What we get from the outsido will be returned four-fold. In tho past we have Rent many a train load to relieve other states. We have even sent corn to Russia. As to our reputa tion tho people in the east are not fools. There is nothing to be gained by lieing. Let the truth be told. -t We Sweep the World. It is an old saying that a "new broom sweeps clean" but when we say "we sweep the world" we mean thut among all the railways of tho world none stands higher in tho estimation of the public, in all especial points, than tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. It is the only lino 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.
