We print elsewhere in today's Jour
nal an article on alfalfa from a corres
pondent at Beaver City, this state. Since
a brief sojourn of the writer, in Colorado
a few years ago and seeing and hearing
what this wonderful forage plant was
doing for that country, we have not'bad
a particle of doubt of the great benefits
to be derived by Nebraska; from it,
wherever it could be found to grow. We
have seen nothing to change-fhat opin
ion, but this industry is like any other
the way must be learned to make it
profitable. Irrigation wherever at all
practicable, snbsoiling and alfalfa are
three strings to the Nebraska farmers'
fiddle that will help make fine music
when the proper bow is drawn.

An eminent physician has declared
his deliberate belief that at least fifty
per cent of those who are supposed to
die of disease are really carried away by
fear. The eminent physician, however,
does not give any antidote for fear. The
only authority we remember is the
Word, which says: "Perfect love casteth
out fear." How to have or acquire that
is a question which all good people in
all ages have been at work to solve.
Word comes from Clovelaad, Ohio,
to a friend in tho city that Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Lawrence lost their babe on the
morning of the 31st of January. She
was born Dec. 19, '93, and had suffered
fearfully the last two weeks, first with
pneumonia, then with bronchitis. She
was pronounced dead three different
times, but lived two days afterwards.
The funeral was held Saturday. The
father closes his letter by saying "My
heart is too sore to Trnte anything fur
ther." Tuesday evening of last week the
residence property of Mrs. Hattie Wright
northwest of the city was noticed to be
on fire about nine o'clock, soon followed
by an explosion, and a shooting up of
flames from the central portion of the
building. At the same time Mr. Ran
dall, living near, saw a man leaving the
premises. Although neighbors turned
out, it was impossible to save the build
ing from destruction, which was soon
complete. Loss $2,000 on the building;
probably $200 on the furniture. Insur
ance $1,000.
Friday evening the council met in
regular session, all present The police
ordinance heretofore mentioned in The
Journal waB passed. A health ordi

Galley, read and referred to committee

for another twist, in consideration of a
message from the mayor on the subject.
The monthly budget of salary billB were
allowed and others referred to appro
priate committees, after which the coun
cil adjourned to meet Feb. 15.
The people of Nebraska, all around,
are acquiring a considerable fund of in
formation, along with their experience of
financial losses from the extravagance
and peculations of officials. The Seward
Reporter says: "The district court on
yesterday was occupied with the case of
the over-payment of $736.47 to August
Rieckmann. as county clerk's fees. After
hearing the evidence Judge Bates decid
ed that Rieckmann was not entitled to
the money, and ordered that ho pay the
amount into the hands of the county
treasurer. The men who were on Mr.
Rieckmann's bond will probably be
called upon to pay the amount."
The Inter Ocean says that when a
man starts out to smell bad things, see
wicked sights, and learn dark deeds, he
can generally smell, see and hear. And
the Inter Ocean has given expression to
a general principle applicable to all
men. The converse is likewise true, and
reminds of the story of a man and wife,
walking along the river bank at Omaha,
where the odor of cedar lumber, and the
multifarious other perfumes of that
locality were commingled "What an
awful smell," said the man. "How nice
the cedar lumber!" said the woman.
"But just smell the other things" re
joined the husband. "I prefer not to"
said the wife.
Mr. Frank E. Burnham, our genial

M. J. Thompson of St. Edward was
in the city Saturday on his way home
from western Nebraska, where he had
been on business. He thinks that in the
not very distant future, the larger por
tion of the Lodge Pole country will be
under irrigation. As to his own expe
rience with irrigating a few acres last
year, ho was so well satisfied with it that
he purposes doing more the coming
season;, in fact, he will now as soon as
he ftnSonveniently flood his land with
water,, trwsf-getting the soil in proper
trim for planting. He will take a differ
ent plan with potatoes than the one of
last season, and-thinks he will have still
better tubers, if less tops, by not using
so much water, during the growing
season. One item of his experience is
well worth noting: after irrigating some
corn, they broke down before completing
all the field, the day before the hot
Thursday. The corn that had just been
watered stood the dry wind without the
slighest injury didn't suffer a bit, and
Mr. Thompson is satisfied that with
irrigation in use wherever practicable,
the hot winds would cease to be injuri
ous, tftioir force being so modified by the
increased moisture as to be scarcely
noticeable.
A Friend has sent us a series of res
olutions adopted at the Woman's Meet
ing during the sessions of the Illinois
Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society
of Friends last year, and intended to call
the attention of editors to the bad effects
of publishing details of criminal assaults,
with the names of those assaulted, espe
cially where young and helpless girls are
implicated. The Journal believes that
this is a matter well worth considering,
but, carried to the logical limit fairest
or foulest of word-painting, which is
most effective for humanity? it brings to
mind all the old arguments along with
the legend of the crazy woman going
through the streets of Bagdad, a torch
in one hand, a pitcher of water in the
other! and proclaiming: "With this
torch I would burn up heaven and with
this water I would drown out hell, that
God might be worshiped for himself
alone." The newspaper is not responsi
ble for the fact only for its manner of
reporting the fact, and for the evident
purpose of any comments it may make.
The main trouble is that with too many
people it is not a question of refraining
from evil because it is sin. but for fear
some one'will find it out and tell of it.
J t -t?
Tuesday of last week aB we were
turning out The Journal from the press
room, the sanctum of the establishment
was being honored by a visit from Revs.
Worley and St. Clair, formerly Metho
dist ministers of this city. The former
had been to Edgar to assist his brother
in a series of meetings, and was on his
way home to Albion. A miller at Edgar
told him he would consign to him 2800
lbs. of flour, if he would agree to see that
it got distributed to any old soldiers or
others who might be in need of it. Mr.
St Clair had been at Lincoln for three
days. Both gentlemen have the same
heartiness of manner as of old, and are
battling with the evils of the world with
the same strength and singleness of pur
pose as they evinced when here.
Coming up Eleventh street the other
day with a level-headed citizen, he drop
ped to one Bide, but looking up and
noticing that he was about entering
Marty's 'moat-market he turned back
and walked on again, remarking that he
"wasn't yet so crazy as to try to buy
cigars at a meat shop," but he hadn't
walked any further than the time it took
to pronounce this opinion on himself,
than he turned back to the meat-market
with the ejaculation that he knew that
"he had to order meat for supper." "Not
so crazy ss he thought he might seem to
be," was the opinion pronounced on him.
The power of mind is being recognized
I more and mors each day,
Gretolaaeaea's Death.
In last week's Journal we printed the
telegram to the Bee announcing the
death of J. HGrotelusohsn of Wilson
precinct Colfax county, the Saturday
night before. From the Leigh World
we learn that the account was sub
stantially correct
GroteluBchen and his companion Fred.
Muble had attsaded a meeting of the
Woodman, of "the World until 5, and in
stead of going hops, tarried in town
until 8 or a little -aftarJBoth drank
considerable liquor becoming partially
intoxicated, and just before starting
home drank two whiskeys, each. When
Muhle got home his wife heard the team
come in.7 She went out and found her
husband lying, in the bottom of the
wagon in a drunken stupor. She took
him in, put him to bed and then put
away the team. About half-past 5 Sun
day morning Muhle woke up and asked
after Groteluschen. Becoming alarmed
he went to G's place and told the boys
the. facts as far as he Knew them. Henry
smd-tHarmam started out with Muhle
aaton5Mke dead body near F. C. Ar
nold's place. He had a large bruise on
his right temple, evidently where he
struck when he fell from the wagon, a
small cut on his left temple, and a
bruise on the baok of his head. Both
feet were frozen half way to the knees,
both hands were frozen half way up to
the elbows; both ears, the nose and one
cheek were also frozen. Some attend
ing circumstances and marks in the
road where he had crawled through .the
snow indicated that the dead man had?
made a heroic struggle for preservation
and died within a stone's throw of where
help was to be had. From where he fell
out of the wagon to where the dead body
lay was thirty rods, and within ten rods
of Arnold's house. About 12 o'clock
Arnold's dogs raised a disturbance, and
kept it np so that about 1, Arnold got
up and fired a revolver, thinking there
were wolves around, and that would
scare them away. The dogs ceased their
noise about 2. The inference is that the
unfortunate man became conscious
about 12 o'clock; that he endeavored to
walk but could not; the hands were
frozen before he regained consciousness;
at times he would get out of the track
into the snow, and then work back again;
the time occupied was probably the two
hours the dogs were noisy. The body
when found was lying nearly flat on his
back, and was minus cap, overcoat and
mittens.
The verdict of the jury was that
Groteluschen came to his death acci
dentally, and that death was caused by
wounds received by falling from a
buggy, exposure to the cold, and
freezing. Mr. Groteluschen came to
Colfax county direct from Germany
twenty-one years ago last June; he had
a family of nine children; his wife died
in '87 and he lost one son in 3. There
are three boys and five girls surviving
him, all but one at home. He was a
kind and indulgent father to his chil
dren, who deeply mourn his death. The
World adds: "As a friend and neigh
bor, all who knew bim thought well of
him. He was not much addicted to
drinking excessivoly, and did so very
seldom."
An Hoar at School.
School days are the most interesting
part of all our life. Who does not look
back to them with many fond recollec
tions and a longing that their expe
riences might be repeated! And the
most interesting are the very first years
of school.
The writer recently visited two pri
mary rooms in our city schools and we
saw more "lost motion" in that crowd of
about one hundred little folks than
all the machinery in the city of Colum
bus could furnish.
The American school room is surely
an index to the character of our people
all energy. On Friday afternoon it is
tho custom to have literary exercises.
This is part of the best work done in the
schools, the training of children to be
come accustomed to speaking in public
or to be ablo to express their thoughts
clearly, without embarrassment This
is not easy to do oven by the little ones.
One little fellow walked up to the plat
form with all the confidence of a general
preassured of victory, but just as he
opened his lips the piece evidently left
him; he shrugged one shoulder, put one
fist in his pocket, but all to no good, he
couldn't remember a word. Another
young orator started out with the usual
promptitude and suddenly remembered
he had not made his bow, and so began
it all over.
Mother Goose's rhymes are evidently
favorites and a goodly number were
sprinkled through the program. One
boy tried to make excuses from appear
ing, whereupon a little friend spoke up,
"Oh, teacher, his piece is awful funny!"
Another debutant begged off on account
of his piece being "too short, only three
words," which transpired to be some
thing like this:
"I had a little pony.
His name was Jack.
I put him in the stable.
And he jumped through the crack."
Nearly all spoke with a clear voice
that could be easily heard all over the
large room and a very commendable
feature; nearly all had their pieces well
learned, not more than seven or eight
having to be prompted.
Those taking part in the exercises we
refer to were pupils of Mrs. Brindley's
and Miss Watkins' departments.

Grandma Wheeler.
The Malvern (Iowa) Leader, with a
mention of the death, on Jan. 25, of Mrs.
Phoebe Wheeler, aged 81 years and 3
months, publishes a sketch of her life, a
summary of which we make for our
readers, who were acquainted with
Mother Wheeler. She was mother of
Mrs. H. P. Coolidge of this city. Sho
was born near Syraouse, N. Y.; married
July 16, 1831; shortly after which they
removed to Prairie Round, Michigan,
settling on a tract of land, erecting a
small cabin, which was their modest
home until, through industry and econ
omy, they improved their dwelling and
their farm and made it a beautiful home
and farm where they lived for nearly two
score years. In 1864 they removed to
Glenwood, Iowa, where Mr. Wheeler
died, Sept 10, 1885. Since that Mrs.
Wheeler has lived with her children. She
was the mother of 14 children, 10 of
whom are living, 9of them being present
at her last illness, the remaining son not
receiving the news of his mother's sick
ness, was not present. Short services
were held at the homo of her daughter,
Mrs. W. J. Smith near Malvern, while
the funeral services proper were held in
the First Congregational church at
Glenwood, conducted by Rev. H. B.
Burgess, Rector of St Luko church of
Plattsmoutb, Nebr. The altar was cov
ered with a number of beautiful floral
offerings, among them an anchor, a cross,
wreathes, etc. The remarks of the Rec
tor, based upon the three most tender
words of our language, "Home, Mother,
Heaven," were most comforting as ho
recalled the beautiful character of the
deceased in her relation, both to her
home on earth and in heaven, ine re
mains were accompanied to the cemetery
by 35of her children and grand children,
and quite a number of immediate friends,
and the body laid to rest by the side of
her husband. A noble woman, she leaves
as a sacred memory for her children, a
life full of generous deeds and thought
ful care for all around her.

One morning last week we saw neigh
bor Tschudy thawing out his pnmp with
a huge bonfire, and the thought never
entered our head to lend a helping hand,
or even sympathize with him, but was
content to look on and grin. The next
morning, however, we had work of our
own to perform, for during tho night our
pump froze up and we wore busy build
ing bonfires in the cold air until after
noon, after which we felt like going to
neighbor T. and apologizing.
Mrs. Leusche, a farmer living on Shell
creek, 10 miles northeast of the city,
seems to have her share of troubles and
accidents. Saturday one of her teams
was in Columbus, driven by ono of the
farm help, who remained in tho city until
after dark, when the team got away from
him in 6ome manner, and was making
for home lively, with the wagon loaded
with lumber, furniture, dry goods, etc.,
and when near tho bluff northeast of
town, the wagon began to deliver out its
contents, and for about a milo the road
was strewn with wreckage. The team
went as far as Henry Leuscho's, where it
was cared for and taken home. Henry
assisted in gathering up tho wreckage
early Sunday morning.

Many Years Ago.
Twenty-four years ago, this week, the
following were among things referred to
in TnE Joubxai.:
Jacob Ernst offers for sale a black
smith shop with a full set of tools; also
a dwelling house on an adjoining lot on
Seventh street.
In and around Chicago thoy have bad
a recent snow storm, with sleet, hail,
wind and rain, doing damage estimated
at three to five million dollars.
A resolution of impeachment of Gov.
Butler is a special order of tho day in
tho honso of representatives at Lincoln.
Conroy has vamoosed.
A Liucoln Journal of recent dato says
that the momber of the senate from
Platto county (L. Gerrard) is determined
to havo the capital of tho state removed
to George Francis Train's town.
Wm. Trine was in town procuring
lumber for a brjdgo across Union creek
on tho Meridian, at the Township farm
(southeast corner of Stanton county.)
Tho official census of Nebraska just
published, gives the population by
counties, for 1870. We quote these:
Platto 1,905; Polk 136; Butler 1,292;
Colfux 1,420; Stanton 641; Madison
1,136; Douglas 19,997; Lancaster 7,074;
Dodge 4,205; unorganized territory west
of Madison county 181.
Eben Pierce advertises a closing out
sale of crockery, glassware, etc.
V. Kummer advertises for rent a store
room and dwelling on the corner of
Seventh street, opposite the American
house. This last, now a part of the
Grand Pacific, was located where Jos.
Berney has his dwelling.
A party having returned from a trip
up the Loup valley as far west as the
fork of the main Loup with the North
branch, eomo seventy miles west of Co
lumbus, The Journal gives a descrip
tion of the country as they found it, tho
closing paragraph being: "The Reser
vation (now comprising Nance county),
and the land west of it as far as the
party went is spoken of as equaling the
best in Nebraska."
Tho capitulation of Paris has been
signed. Tho terms are tho surrender of
the garrison and tho summoning of a
National assembly. The capitulation
involves peace, tho session of Alsace and
German Lorraine and part of the fleet;
a money indemnity to be guaranteed by
tho municipalities, a portion of the Ger
man army to return home, and the war
to cease. It is necessary that some ter
ritory be retained to securo tho fulfill
ment of the compact. The mobiles are
to bo sent home, and the German army
is
to enter Pans. The emperor will
immediately return to Berlin.
Thus was briefly recorded twenty-four

tional events of modern times. Ger

the republic, has shown most wonderful
recuperative powers, since that day of
capitulation.
Wo cannot refrain from remarking
that in tho current publications of a
period is contained the best history a
pen picture of tho times and the events

can catch something of the animating

and an interesting study because in
