He drove upon the bridge just as a gorge formed below. The water set back in a great wave and nearly shut him off. His horse succeeded in breast ing the water and getting through with nothing more than a wetting. Last week Messrs. Sheldon tt Welch sold 10,000 bushels of corn in two and a half days, at 50 cts. a bushel, giving their purchasers ten months' time to pay the same. It was quite an accommodation to the vicinity of Monroe, where sold, and nono were allowed to purchase more than what thev needed for seed. The demand for the seed was very brisk for a little while. The Valley Enterprise thinks they have in that section excellent corn enough to. seed the whole state this season. It is certainly desirable that seed corn bo Nebraska grown, rather than seed even from Iowa, Kansas and Missouri, which has at times been planted and the first year made only a great growth of stalks. Nebraska-grown corn is what is wanted for seed. A news item on the second page gives some particulars of the institution of a suit against Grand Master Work man Tate. From inqniry of members of tho order, it seems that each lodge was asked to pass upon whether a grand (or state) lodge should bo held this year, if not, then tho money to be used for the benefit of needy brethren, and this has been done to tho extent of some $8,000.

Joe Krause of Genoa was in town Thursday, tracing np a farmer by the name of Bauman, who had been living north of Genoa. The family suddenly packed up their possessions and started by wagons for Oklahoma leaving sev eral debts behind. Joe had assisted the family by giving them coal and grain, which they aold and pocketed tho cash. They were overhauled and brought back to town Friday morning and paid Mr. Krause what they owed him. Somebody who didn't give his name sent a letter to the board of supervisors of Cuming county last week inclosing sixty dollars, which he said was paid him six yeara ago through nn error. The letter was written in German, and the money was turned over to the gen eral fund. If all the men in all the counties of Nebraska who are carrying the people's money would turn it thus into the treasuries, Nebraska could fur nish seed and feed without any great trouble. Brad. Slaughter is a prominent citi zen of Fnllerton, and it seems there is some difference of opinion as to who is owing tho other, U. S. Marshal Slaugh ter or tho United States. Uncle Samuel has instituted a suit to recover between $4,000 and $5,000 fees claimed due the government, and Slaughter says the government now owes him $7,000, nnd that unless he can get a satisfactory statement of account from the treasury department, ho shall begin suit at an early day Henry Dearcnp living on the farm of Andy Matins north ot town died Mon day at 10 o'clock p. m. Mr. Dearcup was in town Friday, and the same even ing ho was driving chickens in his yard and in stumbling, fell on an upturned stick hitting him in the stomach. Hav ing his bands in his pockets he was unable to protect himself in the fall, from the effects of which he died. Mr. Dearcup leaves a wife and several chil dren. Louis Schroiber of this city is a brother of Mrs. Dearcup. The Cedar Rapids Commercial says that people who have left Nebraska to find a better country are gradually re turning, and quite a number of new comers aro locating in the state. George Keekors, who has been down in Oklaho ma, has returned, and says that in 3000 miles of travel he found no place that 6iiited his complexion like Boone coun ty. He has rented the farm known as the Wright homestead, and will be in the procession, when fortune smiles again on Nebraska farmers. At the meeting of the county super visors the other day, when the matter of aid was under consideration, Moore asked that his name bo passed until he could consult with the county attorney as to the legality of the measure. Speice suggested that he would know just as much about it afterwards as he did now, and to an inquiry as to the legality of the measure, he answered that there was no authority of law, whatever, for it. Certainly, those who are desirous of seeding down land again this season should be assisted, where they are not themselves able to do so, and The Journal 6ees no better way than that proposed, if carried out right (and we suppose it will be), but it is a responsi bility for individual members of the board that is asking considerable of them. Let us hope that all will be well provided for, and that Platte county will raise the most bountiful crops in all I her history. KepaMieaa City CeareatioB. Thursday March 14, at the republican convention held at city hall there was a large attendance. Meeting was called to order by Mr. Spoerry. Temporary organization: J. N. Kilian, chairman; 0. V. Evans, secretary. The following resolutions were intro duced by J. D. Stires: Whereas, The republican party in its natural purity, has for thirty-five years stood as a synonym of law and order to which the masses never appealed in vain for justice, and Whereas, We are appealed to today to redeem-our city from misrule, that we may attain to that respectability to which we are entitled, and Whereas, The republican party will be held responsible for tho acts of this meet ing, and Whereas, Where there is a difference of opinion, majorities are more liable to be right and should control, and Whereas, Our united strength is nec essary to effect success, we should agreo to stand by and faithfully support the nominees of this convention. Otherwise we shall be divided into factions too weak to accomplish anything, nnd onr party name remain only as a monument of onr own imbecility, the laughingstock of our opponents and an obstruction to those who would more worthily meet the demands of the people. Therefore be it Resolved. That we the representatives of tho republican party of Columbus in mass convention assembled in pursuance of general notice published for the pur pose of nominating a city ticket acree to support the nominees of this convention. Be it further Resolved, That any one participating in this TOnventiclHliBll regard himself as bouad-by.this resolution. i M tefc a .feasewhat heated discussion J. G Reeder amended the resolutions to excludo all members present who had taken part in the '"citizens caucus, and S. C. Gray amended the amendment to allow ail recognized republicans to vote, which was carried, and Reeder's amend ment lost. Resolutions were adopted. Ticket nominated by acclamation: Mayor, W. A. McAllister; treasurer, H. Ragatz; clerk, Clarence Sheldon; city engineer, A. G. Arnold; councilmen, first ward, J. H. Galley; second, Hugh Hughes; third, M. Whitmoyer; for mem bers of school board to fill vacancy, E. Pohl; long term John Wiggins. Moved and carried that central com mittee be empowered to fill all vacancies. Clone Call. v Whatever may be said of Mrs. Hattie Wright, she is very evidently not afraid to use a gun. Wednesday night a man made his appearance at her place and she says that he was the same who was here two years ago, stole some goods at Galley's store, offered to sell them to Mrs. Micek in the bottom, who consulted Mrs. Wright m- regard to the purchase of them; sent for policemen in the mean time, and the thief got away, not mak ing his appearance here until Wednes day last, when he threatened to kill Mrs. Wright, and proceeded to put his threat into execution. The pistol he used was doubtless a 32-caliber, which he purchased of John Eusden. He fired four shots and Mrs. Wright two, one of hers taking effect in the arm. Even after that arm dropped, it is said he kept on shooting, using the unhit arm plucky, determined to show Mrs. Wright that she must not interfere with his line of business theft, at her peril. Thursday he was arraigned before Police Judge Hudson and fined $25 and costs; no money being forthcoming, and his wouud needing attention, ho was sent to the hospital for attention. William E. Carter died March 11, at Madison, aged 85 years, 10 months and 18 days. The Chronicle says that his light went out gently and peacefully and he passed away like a little child going to sleep. His mind was richly stored with the knowledge of men and events of the early history of the coun try and he kept himself well posted on the current topics of the day np to the time of his death. His father fonght under General Harrison at the famous Indian battle of Tippecanoe, which de feated Tecumseh's brother, the prophet, in 1811. He was a young man nt the time Gen. Andrew Jackson was elected president, but was a supporter of John Quincy Adams. He voted for old Gen eral Harrison and every whig and re publican president from that time down. He was personally acquainted with Benjamin Harrison and often referred to him as "that lioy Bonny." He was tho father of nino children, eight of whom are living. To readers of The Joorxal we make no apology for printing the following from the Central City Nonpareil. When you make so good a record, we shall wish to record it: "Saturday Mrs. Donoway, an old lady who resides south of the court house, celebrated her 90th birthday. To assist in the celebration fourteen old ladies whose ages ranged from 53 to 90 met at Mrs. Donoway's and spent a pleasant af ternoon. A splendid dinner was served which was eaten with a relish. Mrs. Donoway's daughter, a lady 55 years of age, was one of the guests. Few people are allowed the privilege of residing 90 years in this world of turmoil and strife. Jefferson was president at the time of Mrs. Donoway's birth; Napoloon, the greatest general the world has ever seen, was in his prime, and had never dreamed of Waterloo, and Lincoln, Grant and Sherman were yet unborn. May the old lady roach the century mark." Two more Indians who escaped from the Genoa school passed through here on Sunday, stopping over night nt the farm house of A. P. Smith, two miles southwest of town. On Tuesday author ities from the school were here on a hunt for them, but at this writing they have not been reported as apprehended. This makes ten Indians who have passed through here the past four months who have escaped from the Genoa school Scarlet fever of a very light form has been in the families of John Beagan, Daniel Macken and John Considine the past week, but none of the children who contracted the disease have been consid ered dangerously ill. Each of the fami lies have been quarantined, and it is be lieved that tho disease will not spread any farther. Platte Center Signal. A. Wannfried of the Western News paper Union, on the 1st of April will quit the road and the company he has been working for, so many years. We learn that he has been elected to a posi tion with an extensive mining company, and certainly the printers of this region will lose a fast friend in Mr. Wannfried. Donbtiess ne will maKe more money than he baa been used to here, but it strikes us that he will be like a fish out of water until he gets accustomed to the new business. Anyhow, here's success to an old newspaper man's friend, in his new vesture. DIBD. BAB-nm Sunday, March 17, at 250 p.- m., after an illness of nine days, of pneumonia, Miranda J., wife of Guy C. Barnum. Miranda J. Fuller was born in Sara toga county, New York, September 20, 1824. December 24, 1845, at Nauvoo, Illinois, was married to Guy C. Barnum. She leaves her aged husband and their children: , Guy C, of Idaho; George E.; Mrs. W. B. Doddridge of St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. G. W. Barnhart, Tyler, Texas; Mrs. J. W. Lisco, Fort Worth, Texas. Mrs. Barnum accompanied her hus band lately on a visit south, and had not enjoyed such good health in a long time as on her return, but, on all human af fairs "change" is written, and in a few short days one whom we have been ac customed to greet for years is silent in death. Such need no human praise. ljoving, (aitnuii wire: rontt and pa tient mother! In the hearts of sorrowing husband and children, mourning because their beloved is no more here, is the best mon ument of her worth; solid, enduring, heartfelt. "There is no death; an angel form Walks across this earth with silent tread And bean our dear loved ones away. And then we call them dead. But ever near us though nnseen. The angel forms do tread. For all God's nniverse is life. There is no dead." O'Bkikk. Agnes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. -. Wen.- O'Brien, aged (5 years, 9 inooths and, 3 days, Saturday morning at 11:30. Death was the result of a relapso from scarlet fever. She was greatly beloved by all who knew her sweet disposition, and her death has caused a vacancy which never can be filled. The funeral took place Sunday after noon at 4 o'clock from St. Bonaventura church. The pall bearers were Misses Abbie Keating, Mae Cnshing, Jennie Fitz patrick and Gertrude Wells. City Coancll. Council met Monday evening in ad journed session, all present. After some slight corrections of tho minutes of previous meetings they were approved. Councilman Oehlrioh's resignation dated Feb. 28, "95, and to take effect March 1, 5, was read, and on motion of Gray there was a unanimous request for its withdrawal. Mr. Oehlrich seemod fully determined to carry out his pur pose, but it seems that the law requires a vacancy to exist thirty days before -1 election in order to be filled at election, and for fear that some important interest of the city might be pnt in jeopardy, Mr. Oehlrich consented to further serve. The committee on police were empow ered to arrange for suitable rooms in which to hold sessions of registration board and election for Third ward, and afterwards determined upon Mardock's room. The city hall was selected for election day and the council chamber for board of registration. The committee on waterworks, to whom had been referred the communica tion of Engineer Burrell asking privilege of placing a room for sleeping purposes reported that as their time was about to expire it would be best to leave this to the action of the new committee. Report adopted. The bill of M. K. Turner & Co. for $12.50 for printing was allowed, with the deduction of balance due on occupation tax; bill of A. Boettcher for 75 cents; bill of A. Heintz for electric lights for February $116.65, was allowed with a deduction of $8.15 for 163 honrs less than regulation service, leaving a bal ance due of $108.50; bill of C. A. Speice & Co., $30.15 for coal supplied to needy people, was allowed, and warrant or dered on tho special license fund for support of the poor. Tho usual reports of committees on official reports were made and adopted and the same ordored placed on file. Tho rules were suspended and an or dinance prepared by the board of health, providing for the proper care of cess pools, vaults, etc., passed. Tho provi sions of the ordinanco are completed, and if carried out will certainly pro mote the general health of the city. The same action was takon with the nowoccupation tax ordinance reported by the committee, after discussions on some of tho items, tho ordinance being passed by a unanimous vote. Gray moved that option dealers bo charged $100 instead of $35, seconded by Mnrdock. Welch amended, seconded by Wells, to mako it $50 and the amendment was adopted. The charge per day for retailing fruit, vegetables or other merchandise from a car was placed at $2 by unanimous vote. Adjourned. C. L. S. C.

Wednesday evening last thero were about 150 citizens gathered at Fitzpat rick's hall for the purposoof nominating a ticket to bo supported at the coming election, by those who aro dissatisfied wi.h the present administration of Mayor Phillips. C. A. Brindiey acted as chairman and J. L. Paschal of the Argus as secretary. The writer hereof was not present to h6ar what J. N. Kilian had to say, but as near as we can learn, he declared himself in favor of tho movement among the first who spoke, but suggested that it might bo well to defer nominations until after the republicans and demo crats had put their tickets in the field. This, however, did not suit tho major ity preseflt, whose sentiments Avero ex pressed by Rev. Bross, viz: that the friends of good government had met for the purpose of placing in nomination a citizens', non-partisan ticket, men who would enforce existing laws and ordi nances of the city in tho interest of good government and the welfare of the busi ness interests of tho city. Ho thought there was no more nocessity for thoso hero to wait than for tho others to endorse the nominations hero made. Something was said also about who was entitled to vote, but the opinion seemed to prevail that those who should vote there wonld not bo entitled to vote at either of the other caucuses. This seemed to dampen tho ardor of some of those present, but there were some fifty voted for the nominations that were made. The ballot-box was placed in front, and the names taken of thoso who voted. Nominations were declared in order, and W. K. Lay placed before tho meet ing tho name of Olof Johnson as a can didate for mayor, supporting his candi dacy in a lengthy speech, as in every respect and in tho highest senso an American citizen; a conservative man who as mayor would conscientiously enforce tho law. Ho said it was not right to call a mayor conservative if he permits tho violation of law to please the lawless element. Such a mayor, like the present, is venturesome rather than conservative. J. S. Freeman nominated W. R. Notes- teiu, and the balloting resulted in John son 48; Notestein 14. The ticket was completed with treas urer, Daniel Schrara; clerk, C. E. Early; members of school board, Henry Hock enberger, R. H. Henry. J. C. Swartsley; councilman, First ward, H. T. Spoerry; Second, L. W. Weaver; Third, S. C. Gray. We have not learned whether the men mentioned intend to remain on the ticket or not, but are assured that Mr. Johnson fully considered tho matter and will make tho race the best ho knows how. The scarcity of corn in Nebraska this winter, observes the Norfolk News, has been tho means of introducing a new kind of feed for stock. Several weeks ago W. H. Butterfield shipped in a quantity of cotton seed meal and com menced feeding it to his stock. Then F. J. Hale sent for a carload, and Owen Bros, have secured two carloads. The new feed costs $17 per ton laid down in Norfolk, which makes it as cheap as corn at 15 cents per bushel. Tho cattle eat the meal with as much relish as they do corn, and appear to fatten just as fast. Clean old newspapers for sale at this 1 office.

The following from tho Omaha Bee of March 13 will be of interest to local readers, who were very well acquainted with Fathor Ryan during hia long resi dence here: A contest over the will of the late Fathor James M. Ryan is io p- -gross before a jury in Judge Keysor's court room. Tho will contains a bequest of $8,000 to Mary Lamb, a si6ter of the deceased, the balance of the estate to go to Bishop Richard Scannell. On August 16, 1894, Judge Baxter ad mitted the instrument to probate, but Lizzie Lynch and Maggie Robrs, nieces of tho late clergyman, allege that Father Ryan whon he made this will was not of sound mind and that nnduo influence was brought to bear upon him. The testimony yesterday went to show that nt tho timo tho will was signed Father Ryan was in feeble condition, aud that, while ho was a highly educated man, he merely put his mark to the instrument, instead of writing his name. World-Herald, March 18: The will of Father James M. Ryan has been broken. The jury empanelod beforo Judge Key sor tojuecido whethor or not be made it as his voluntary act and was in n fit con dition to draw up tho instrument ex ecuted December 25, 1891, brought in n verdict answering both questions in the negative, after listening for a week to testimony and arguments. This verdict was returned under seal yesterday after noon at 3 o'clock. Father Ryan was ono of tho beet known clergymen of the Catholic church in this section. He had charges at Co lumbus and Omaha for years back. When he was taken sick in 1891, at tho house of his sister, Mrs. Mary Lamb, in Omaha, he made the will in question, leaving her $8,000. The residue of his estate went to tho Omaha bishop "to bo used as ho should deem of greatest ad vantage to the Catholic church," in ac cordance with a provision of the canon law requiring a priest to romembor the church in his bequests. Relatives contested, alleging undue iniiuonco and imbecility. The success ful contestants are: P. J. Ryan, Agnes Ryan, Florence Ryan, Arthur Thomas, minors; Sarah Ryan, James Fallow, Maggie Roberts, P. J. and M. B. Coffoy and Lizzie Lynch. A SET OF HARNESS FREE. Call at L. W. Weaver's harness storo and see tho set of harness he will giro away May 1 to the lucky man. I will give to every purchaser of a Bet of har ness a ticket entitling him to a chance in a drawing of ono of my very best hand made harness worth S25. This gives every man that buys a set of harness of L. W. Weaver a chance to get two set for tho price of one. I wish to say for my harness that they are the very best; all made in my shop by workmen of thirty years' experience in the trade, and only the very best oak leather is used. I ask every one that contemplates buying to call and examine them, and if they find they are not as good or better than any made in Columbus I don't ask ycu to buy. Every sot is guaranteed and any breakages in a reasonable length of time are repaired free of charge. My prices are cheaper than ever known before. All hand made, nmge from $20 to $25 per set. The drawing will bo conducted in any way the ticket holders may see fit, and we shall see that it is done strict ly fair in every way. Should I sell but ten set of harness between now and May 1, tho drawing will take place just the same. This offer surely ought to bo a great inducement for you to buy your harness of me, if the price and quality is as good as elsewhere, and both of which we guarantee. Buy your harness of Weaver, for you may be the lucky man. It costs you nothing extra, and may make you a set of harness. L. W. Wjuvxb, 6-mch-4 Thirteeoth St,
