we feel as though that soul should have
a roso or two strewn along his path.

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.

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.

the originators of the plot, in behalf of
the Eastern Star lodge and other friends
of the couple. Several valuable pres

the occasion and a grand time reported.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bushel of David City

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,

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,

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

"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."

The following lines come to our table
with a request to publish. The mother's

lost from their home here one of tho
brightest children that ever blest a

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.

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.

UJEMP SEED TO LOIN !
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.

Many Years Ago.
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.

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. Nash,
