Mr. Drinnin says that Friday last
they had a splendid mirage viewed from
his place on the bluffs northeast of the
city. David City was pictured as in a
mirror, the objects being inverted of
course, the houses plainly distinct, and
the stand-pipe, elevator and court house
as prominent as in the original. Mr.
Drinnin says they have often seen Platte
Center in mirage.
M. Wolford had letters last week
from his son and daughter at Olds,
Alberta, Canada. There had just fallen
snow to the depth of 18 inches, since
which they had begun to feed their stock
before that they had found their own
living on the grass. The weather is now
pleasant, although they had six or eight
days in December when the thermometer
was 30 below zero.

Wednesday afternoon about three,
while Fritz and Webster's troup were

John Tannahill says if he was to
construct a windmill again for irrigation
purposes, he would make a better and
also a cheaper one, and he would have 2,
4-inch cylinders, and 2, 6-inch ones. On
his 8-acre orchard he has now let on a
volume of water from his reservoir equal
to 50x100 feet and 22 feet 8 inches deep.
He says there are cracks enough in the
soil to readily take in all this amount of
water.
The Sun notes the death, Monday
of last week, of Daniel van Houeen, one
of the pioneer settlers of Colfax county.
He was well and favorably known
throughout the county and few could
number more friends than Uncle Dan
who always had a cheery word for every
one. He was a kind and indulgent
father, a tender and loving husband, a
warm friend and as true and loyal a
citizen as ever lived.
There appears to be a southern fever
raging all over this section of Nebraska,
and numerous people are pulling out for
Texas, Arkansas and other states south.
We make the guess that many of them
will either return to Nebraska or wish
themselves back here before two years
have passed away. This moving fever
appears to break out at certain periods,
and it usually affects a great many
before it has completed its ran. David

The Boone county papers are telling
tbe.worthy poor how to get the relief
they may need, from the committee as
organized under the new law. Quite a
number are being provided with neces
saries. While, there are always some
who will impose npon good nature,
those who are in actual need are
as much bound in duty to receive, as
the public is to provide freely give,
freely receive, and Nebraska and Ne
braska people will be all right.
The editor of the Monroe Looking
Glass, Platte county, has been charged
with insanity by reason of certain arti
cles, published in his paper, and judging
from 6ome things it looks as though there
should be two or three more insane edi
tors let loose in Platte county. The
above clipping from the Schuyler Sun
shows how rumor changes the truth. It
was not the editor of the Looking Glass
that was formally charged with insanity,
but a correspondent of that paper.
Gray wolves are somewhat numerous
in Colfax and Butler counties, and the
David City News, which always has a
weather eye out for the rising genera
tion, advises the boys when they go to
see their girls not to remain too late as
they may meet one of these animals on
the road home. Advice against unreas
onable hours is all right, but it seems to
The Joubnatj that all manner of wolves
should be met by a force sufficiently
prepared to conquer them in case of
necessity.
Invitations are out for the marriage
today noon of Miss H. Delila Davis,
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H.
Davis, to Mr. Ira E. Gates, at the home
of the bride's parents in the eastern part
of the city. Both are well known in this
city, the bride as one who has always
lived here and the groom as one of our
most successful farmers. The ceremony
will bo witnessed by only a few intimate
friends of the family, and the couple
will take a short bridal trip east before
keeping house. -f
Tho Register of Spearfish, JSJf)., of
Feb. 2, in a notice of a charity enter
tainment given in their city by the
"Normal Legion of Logic," speaks of
one of our Columbus boys, who is stu
dying at the Spearfish Normal school
this winter, as follows: "Bert Coolidge's
bass solo was magnificent, and the au
dience applauded vigorously. Mr. Cool
idge has a rich bass voice of wonderful
volnrao and with special training and
careful culture would unquestionably
place its possessor in a front rank as a
singer."
Sup't Rothleitner has received a
number of circulars in regard to Ne

at Denver, July 9-12. A very large
crowd is expected, and in some Nebras
ka towns the entire teaching corps are
planning to go in a body., Railroads
have made a rate of one fare for the
round trip, plus $2, the membership fee
of the association, tickets good to return
any time up to Sept. 1. Hotel prices
reasonable, but the circular does not
state how much.
The Philharmonic society made, in
their two concerts last week, $56.75.
The house was well filled both evenings.
Monday evening the society presented
Prof. Loeb with $10 as an appreciative
offering in recognition of his untiring
efforts for the society. Miss Maud
Rightmeyer was given a life membership
ticket to the society for having sold over
half a hundred tickets for the concerts.
Dr. Voss proposed the ticket should be
given dnring the life of the Bociety, not
for the life of Miss Rightmeyer. In
about two weens the society will give a
reception in the hall for a few invited
gnests.

Rev. Andus tied the nuptial knot, and
at 10 o'clock a supper was served.
About fifty friends and relatives were

Humphrey Democrat.
There is a bill before the legislature
providing for the exemption from taxa
tion for ten years of forty acres of land
if the occupant of the same construct a
dam across a ravine or draw so as to
catch the rainfall and retain it The
pond must be at least an acre in area
when the water is high enongh to over
flow the dam, and it must not be on any
running stream out me water caugni.
must be from the rainfall. The dam
across the ravine or draw must be not
less than twenty feet thick at the bottom
and ten feet at the top. It is a good
bill, evidently, and if it pass, Platte
county farmers can make good use of its
provisions, because we have the draws
and ravines in abundance, and where

Cray Barnum says he wouldn't like
to live in the south he don't like to
work now any more, himself, but he
does like to Bee others at work. The
liveliest place he saw while gone was St
Louis. Through Missouri and Texas
they are having an unusual amount of
snow and rain. In some places the na
tives would be Bhivering as if they were
nearly froze to death, while he would
scarcely notice the cold. He felt better
and better the nearer he got home, and
for all-round living wouldn't exchange
his Nebraska possessions for any of
them.
The Maennerchor folks had a splen
did time at their masquerade ball last
Wednesday evening, some thirty couple
being present, the music being rendered
by the Columbus orchestra. One of the
unusual features of the evening was the
improvised minstrel troupe, composed of
five men personating the old-fashioned,
plantation negroes, and they did it to
perfection, so we hear, and we cannot
doubt it, because the man who told us
has seen the darkeys of the olden time
on the plantations in Louisiana, Ala
bama and Georgia, and could himself
imitate their dancing, and gyrations,
facial contortions, etc.
Genial W. F. Beckett, traveling
salesman for Harpham Bros., (who, by
the way, by honest and fair dealing with
their customers, are building up an im
mense trade throughout the west in
leather, saddlery and saddlery hardware,
829 tttjBSR. O street, Lincoln, Nebr) wis
doing business in Columbus Thursday
list, just returning from an extended
trip through Kansas, and says while
business is still quiet, he sees signs of
improvement. In these days of gloom
it is a pleasure to meet such men as W.
F., who is sure to always look at the
silver lining of the clouds, and where he
can't make a good sale it is no use for
any other mortal to try.
L. Christoffersen was compelled, by
reason of slim collections, to make an
assignment last week in favor of credi
tors. The stock was mortgaged to the
State Bank, who advertise in today's
Joubnatj a sale of the goods, etc., to sat
isfy their claim. Assignment of accounts
due were made for the benefit of other
creditors, and these are with Messrs.
Tomlin & Newman for collection. Such
times as we are having bear down the
hardest upon dealers like Mr. Christoff
ersen in the necessaries of life, and who
trusted their goods to customers who
are now nnable to meet their obligations.
One dollar here, and five dollars yonder
does not seem mush to the single indi
vidual, but hundreds of such bills unmet,
make the road of the dealer a very rocky
one to travel.
Several months ago John Vizzard,
one of the special detectives of the Un
ion Pacific, was in Kearney, and while
walking along the street recognized
George Davis, the slayer of the city mar
shal at Missouri Valley, Iowa. He
notified tho local police and Davis was
arrested and was taken to Missouri
Valley and a few days ago was sentenced
to seventeen years in the penitentiary.
There was a reward of $500 offered for
the capture of Davis, and for awhile it
looked as though tho Kearney officer
was going to get it all. Mr. Vizzard
was over in Des Moines a few days ago
and convinced the authorities that he
Was really the" manwho had" captured
Davis.' His claims were recognized and
he was given the reward, but he only
took half, giving tho other to the Kear
ney officer. Omaha World-Herald.
At the last meeting of the Aid com
mittee, some discussion was indulged in
concerning the bond question and the
amount that ought to be named in the
petition to the county board asking for
submission. A vote was finally taken
and the amount fixed at $35,000. The
committee then adjourned to next Sat
urday at 1 o'clock. Reports from differ
ent parts of the county brought out the
fact that at least four hundred families
were in need of immediate help and that
unless help was received danger of freez
ing and starving stared them in the face.
C. R. Clark, chairman of the board of
county commissioners stated that in his
opinion all tho funds of the county which
could be used for the purpose of aiding
the sufferers would be exhausted by the
next meeting, which will be Feb. 25th.
This will make the matter still more
serious as the county has been carrying
a larire number who will be thrown upon
their own resources. Osceola Record.
Tho Soldiers' relief commission met
at the conrt house last week for the
transaction of business. The sum ap
propriated by the county for this pur
pose is $760 for use during the fiscal
year ending June next. Of this sum
there is now available about $200 for the
remainder of the fiscal year. The county
is divided into three district?, one of
which is in the immediate charge of R

tells us that there are fewer on the local

Some very worthy and very needy people
are loath to apply for assistance, but
they should consider that it is for just
such as they that this fund is provided.
A share of it justly belongs to them; in
years past whenever they have paid
taxes they have contributed to this fund,
and if they are now really in need they
are doing the good people of the county
an injustice if they do not make that
need known to the proper authority.
Representative Becher has introduc
ed a bill which is now before the judi
ciary committee of the houBe, providing
that county treasurers may have a seal
of office, and authorizing them to affix a
seal to certain instruments. The occa
sion for the bill arises on this state of
facts: "When lands are sold for taxes
the purchaser is given a certificate by
the county treasurer which shows what
amount was paid, the date of sale, de
scription of the land and other particu
lars of the transaction. If the original
owner does not redeem in a certain time
the holder of the tax-sale certificate is
entitled to a deed to the property, and
the law says that this deed shall be exe
cuted on demand by the county treas
urer, who shall affix his seal to the docu
ment. Now as the law makers have
never provided that the county treasurer
shall have a seal, and the supreme court
has held that these tax deeds are not
good unless his seal, which he has not,
is attached, there are a lot of tax deeds
of doubtful validity afloat in the state.
The present act will remedy this by sup
plying the seal which has heretofore been
lAf t out of the eaninmnnt of th eonntv
1 treasurer."

Dr. H. J. Arnold has brought suit in
district court against E. A. Gerrard of
the Monroe Looking Glass, fixing the
amount of damage claimed at $5,000, for
wickedly intending to injure him by the
publication, Feb. 14 of the following
"false, scandalous and defamatory"
article:
"H. J. Arnold (meaning plaintiff) is the
physician of the board." "Arnold (mean
ing plaintiff) has just had an attack of
delirium tremens during which he was
attended by two reputable physicians.
It is to be publicly supposed that Arnold
had so far recovered from the insanity of
his delirium that he was competent to sit
on the commission. That may be ques
tionable as Arnold blowed bis decision
around town for at least ten days before
the trial."

Mrs. M. Stonesifer was called to
Humboldt the 8th by the death of her
only sister, Mrs. Anna Watzko, who
died on the 7th, after an illness of four
days. From the Humboldt Enterprise
we condense the following summary:
"Mrs. Watzke was left an orphan at the
age of 16, with the care of a brother and
sister. She battled almost single-handed
against the world and won a noble vic
tory. She felt the need of an education
and struggled hard for school honors
whioh she won. When she came to
America she readily adapted herself to
the changed conditions and was consid
ered and ranked as an educated and re
fined lady by all who knew her. Like
so many good women she was active and
earnest in churoh work, and at all times
of want and distress her hands and
purse were always ready to minister."
Mrs. Stonesifer has the sympathy of her
friends here not only because she has
host a Bi8ter who was to her a mother,
but also her only woman relative. Mrs.
Stonesifer writes to a friend here that
she will remain in Humboldt to care for
the two motherless children who were
left.
The Schuyler Sun's Octavia corres
pondent advises his fellow-farmers to
irrigate, by common well and wind-mill,
at least an acre of ground, and suggests
that every community put ten times as
much work as now upon the roads. "Oar
road laws are very unjust; it is not right
nor fair to compel the day laborer to
work the same on the roads as property,
owners. The rich farmer who is over
fifty years old does nothing on the roads,
but his poor hired hands have to do the
work for him ont of their own pockets.
Why let our poor among us go begging?
Why make paupers and then have poor
roads? Why not give our poor (and we
have plenty of them) a chance to make
better roads for us? If the people just
thought so they could give our renters,
and others a chance to keep body and
soul together by working on the roads,
the money would not be lost. All the
cry is for the poor out west, but I want
to say that we want to do more for onr
poor right at home, why trouble our
selves about the poor in the east or
west when we set our foot down on our
own poor right at home."
Young man, dost thou go abroad at
night and rush the growler and peram
bulate the streets at an unreasonable
hour? Dost thou whoop 'em up with
the boys and finger for snbstance of
jackpots and buck thy sheckles against
the slippery tiger? Art thou a guzzler
of beer and a player of cards for stakes?
Dost thou suck the pernicious cigaroot
and hast thou lost thy grip on the ways
that are rigid and wisdom which is good
in the world? Verily, I say unto you;
if so, thou art in a bad row of stumps,
and thy name is pants with a big P. Thy
heels will fly up ere long and thou will
find thyself floating in soup. Keep thy
lips from the mouth of the jug that con
tains the intoxicating juice, and as the
new year begins, begin with it, steer
widely of the aces, and in the ripening
years of thy life thy pocket book will be
full of collateral of the earth, while those
who mind not these commandments will
be partaking of the lunch that is free.

Those who attended the Episcopal
church Sunday evening with tho expect
ation of hearing a sensational sermon on
"Moral Insanity," the subject announced
for the evening, were disappointed. The
church was crowded, some being com
pelled to stand, and the discourse was
well prepared. The main points, as we
gather from, listeners were that Jesus,
Paul and other prophets had been called
mentally insane by those who were them
selves morally insane. Tho speaker be
lieved in prophets in this as well as in
past ages, and that they would leave
their impress upon the world either
while living or afterward. Ho spoke at
length of the moral insanity of careless
officials and of people who favor saloons
and general vice, and of the grace of
God as the remedy for moral insanity.
The general opinion was that it was a
fine sermon.
Comrade J. R. Meagher was in at
tendance at the encampment at Hast
ings, taking a sojourn from Tuesday to
Saturday. While there a letter, to the
care of the encampment, was placed in
the hands of the presiding officer, who
read aloud to the assembled 800 com
rades the direction:
"To CoL J. R. Meagher,
A man without fear.
Never found in the rear.
Bat always in front like a steer."
The main joke was that the audience,
including Meagher, thought the presid
ing officer had improvised the lines, when
the truth was that the inscription had
been sent from Columbus W. H. Lewis,
author. Adams of Superior was elected
commander; Culver of Milford, senior
vice and Earhardt of Stanton, junior
jYice.

Mother, I see you with your nursery light.
LrfWlinji your babies i

To their sweet rest:
Christ, the Good Shepherd, carries mine tonight.
And that is best.
I cannot halo team when I boo them twine
Their fingers in yours, and their bright curls
shine
On your warm breast.
Bat the Saviour' is purer than yours or mine
lie can love best.
Yon tremble each hour because your arms
Aro weak: your heart is wrnng with alarms
And sore oppressed;
My darlings are safe, ont of reach of harms.
And that is best.
Yon know over yours may hanir even now
Pain and disease, whoto fulfilling slow
Naught can arrret;
Mine in God's mirden run to and fro.
And that is best.
Yon must dread for yours the crime that soars.
Dark guilt unwashed by repentant tears
And nnconfessed;
Mino enters spotless on eternal years.
Oh! how much the best!
lint grief is selfish, and I cannot sea
Always why I should so stricken be.
More than tho rest;
Bat I know that, as well as for them, for me
Ood did the best.

Fred Lnckoy is anticipating a trip
through central and southwestern Mis
souri with a view to bettering his condi
tion. He says Nebraska soil is all right
if you could keep it in the fields, but
when it gets right up and enters his
ears, and his living and sleeping rooms,
he draws the line there. Mr. L. has a
good farm and is making money, but of
course every farmer around here is worse
off than when they commenced spring
work a year ago.
Henry Kruger has finally sold his
farm, and is now in the oast, with a view
to buying. Tho sale was consummated
Tuesday of last week, and Mr. K. took
the afternoon train at Columbus for
Douglas county, III. We learn that the
farm consisted of lw acres and nau a
comparatively now $1,000 house. Tho
price paid was about $36 per acre, and
John Dishnor, jr., was the purchaser.
Wo are sorry to lose Mr. and Mrs.
Kruger and hope they will conclude,
after a visit in Illinois, to como back
and buy a farm near here. The above
is the only sale of real estate that we
have learned of in this vicinity since tho
advent of the new year, notwithstanding
a great deal of real estate has changed
hands on Feb. G and on Snnday, Feb. 17,
but tho two latter deals wero negotiated
through the medium of Old Boreas, and
was without consideration.
