Two or three years ago, Judge Speiee's folks bought a balloon, a large, paper toy specimen, but didn't' strike the proper way of inflating and manag ing until the last Foarth, when they de termined to have it go.

About one minute before the fire alarm Sunday night, there was quite an excitement at Mr. Cushing's residence. In Grandma North's room a lamp ex ploded. No one was in the room at the time. Mrs. Cashing heard the explosion, and a roaring, but supposed it was a train. Investigation, however, soon de veloped what and where the trouble was, the room was found ablaze, and the flames were soon extinguished.

Bisson left with us Saturday a very fine specimen of oats from a 25-acre piece. This head is Id inches in length, and adorns the center table at The JocasAZ. ofice. Like other farmers in this section of Nebraska, Mr. Bisson has had no. trouble this year with potato bogs. And he tells us a somewhat cur--loos thing' about the oats. There was in it s great deal of mustard, which promised to give trouble, bat there ap peared aa insect that enrnmil to take the sap from the mustard seed before it matured, and afterwards birds in mul titudes that fed on the insects.

The fire originated in a different' part of the house. from where any had been lately kindled, and there seems oo reasonable way to account for its origin except as' the work of an incendiary. Jonn u. Becher met with an aeci- Kt on the night of. the Fourth that will be to him 'a reminder of' the occasion long to be remembered. He has a toy cannon, the gift of his father when John was a boy, and which he has used ever since, on occasion, and which makes a good-sized fuss for a little gun. 'He had charged it as usual, taking the fuse of a fire cracker for use at the touch-hole. But this time, for some reason or other, the powder discharged itself at the touch-bole, and with such force as to strike Mr. Becher in the eyes and forehead. The accident happened about 10 o'clock. Occasionally since powder has been extracted at different times,-some from the pupil of the right eye. We write this on Friday.

But altogether the best way to keep out of some kinds of trouble is, not to get into them. Michael Parr, a Union Pacific engi neer, who was accompanied home from here some two weeks ago by friends, was locked up Sunday at Omaha, charged with insanity. The Bee says: "Mr. Parr is an old resident of this city and one ot the best known railroad engineers in the service. His health has failed recently, and for two months past his reason has been impaired.

D. What does- the Schuyler Herald mean by saying that one of our newspa per men has been "working" Schuyler ites? Its reference is to "Warwick Saunders, proprietor of the Argus, gov ernment inspector of oils, and promoter of irrigation lands." Was it in the last capacity that he was "working the Schuylerites? The Jocbxal cannot allow this slighting reference to one of our esteemed contemporaries to pass without rebuke. Stand up, Mr. Herald, and give us your reason for thus slan dering one of our citizens.

Turner's motion to hold the meetings of the school board the coming year at the ofifce of the Superintendent, in the High school building was amended by substituting the office of L Gluck en Eleventh street, member Gluck donat ing the use of the same, free, to the board. The motion as amended waa adopted.

In 1885, age creeping on, he came to Co lumbus, and bis' home has since been with Mrs. Shepard. He was a member of the Congregational church of our dty. Since early boyhood he has been a faithful worker for Christ and the church, a prominent and loved member. and worker in various official positions in the church .'and Sunday school. Through all the suffering of the last few years of his life, his sweet and quiet Christian spirit has been manifested as' he -has patiently waited, with never a word of complaint, the call to leave the earthly house and go to the eternal life and rest in the presence of the Lord. Four children survive him and with a large circle otrelatives and friends, will ever cherish hie blessed memory. H. ' -IsGmcAsI."

At a mass meeting of the dtizens of Monroe township held July 5, 1895, H. J. Hendryx -was called to preside, and George S. Truman appointed to act aa secretary, the object of the' meeting being stated to be to take such action as will insure the prompt removal of the Russian thistle from our community. The following preamble and resolu tions were read, and after a free discus sion and interchange of thought, were unanimously adopted: Whereas, A much dreaded pest known as the Russian thistle, has made its ap pearance'in our midst and- Whereas, This nuisance has become a menace and detriment to the agricul tural interests in many sections of our state, therefore Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the existing laws for the destruction of -the above named nui sance shall be vigorously enforced' in Monroe township and its adjoining lo; calities without delay, and for this purpose should have the concerted efforts of each and every individual for the mutual benefit of .alL Resolved, That we discourage the pur chase of Iate-maturiag grain for seed especially flax and millet that have been grown . in the northwest, where said thistle has become so numerous. Resolved, That all who are willing to donate help in the way of labor to re move this, nuisance report to,the chair man, who shall keep a record of the same and furnish help to such as need, upon application, and: it is further Resolved, That we will individually give a day's work to assist the overseers in clearing infested lands when called on by them for that purpose. Resolved, That a copy of these- pro ceedings be furnished to the county papers for information and with the view that the people in general may realize the necessity of prompt and con certed action in the work of extermina tion before it may become a hopeless task. The meeting then adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. H. J. Hexdbtx, Ch'n. Geo. S. Tbttxax, Sec'y. Weather Kcaort. Review of the weather near Genoa for the month of June, 1895.

The first party was at the home of Frank Faulkner. Everything passed off beautifully except for one little matter which the t)0"V8 overlooked; every man of them forgot to engage and take a lady to the party. When the gay company was assembled it was found that fifteen gallantgentle men had gathered and one lone lady had managed to arrive. The lady does not dance. Again we congratulate our gallant young men on their peculiar success in entertaining and escorting the young ladies! Mrs. Antonio. Mastny living five-, miles south west of Clarksoc was found dead, Friday about 4 p. m. rfn the floor in an upstairs room in herhome. Her husband John Mastny was away at Clarkson and-ehe had sent her children away to a neigu- bor's'It was on the return of the cniklrea tnat tnev discoverea tueir other dead. A mysterious circum stance connected with the deceased is the finding of a letter written in Bohe mian pasted on the inside of the up stairs door. The verdict of the coron er's jury was that she came to her death by poison- supposed to have been ad ministered bv her own hands. Osceola Record: Theo. Beebe took his pacing horse, Harry Holton, to Red Oak, Iowa, to the meeting of fast horses. Harry went into the 2:20 pacing race and took first place making a record of 2 J6J. This was one of the large racing events of the year. All the great fast horses were there in all, over fifteen hundred fast horses were in attendance. When this is taken into consideration it will be seen that Harry's victory was something of an event Some of the boys were trying to usher in the glo rious Fourth a day ahead of schedule time yesterday by shooting fire crackers and filling a paper shotgun shell with powder and firing it off,' down on the creek. The usual results followed. The shell exploded at the wrong time and Willie Cole was the unlucky victim. His face and eyes are badly burned, his right eye dangerously. David City News: Last week we made mention of burglars breaking into the store cf Hurd & Ladd Bros, at Rising, on Saturday evening before. They sent out to the different towns a description of two men who were seen in Rising during the day, and now they are board ing at our county hotel, the jail, having been picked up by the dty marshal at North Bend. We suggested last week that a good jail would not be a bad thing for Butler county to bcild, but from the way in which prisoners are falling into the hands of Sheriff Derby, we begin to think that a small peniten tiary would not come amiss. As. ordi-. nary jail will soon become too small. Leigh World: Elliot Niccolls was in jured while riding a horse last week and is on the sick list this week with mala rial troubles. The horse he was riding when he was hurt fell with him and broke, its leg. The horse was shot Real Estate Traasrer.
