She was bathing in company with a number of girls, got beyond her depth and went down. , A party of young folks were enter tained at John Tannahill's Saturday night, the occasion being Miss Minnie's birthday anniversary. All enjoyed themselves until a late hour. Rev. F.

If the date is past, you are respectfully re quested to renew your subscription. See rates elsewhere. Starting with Oct. 15th, 1834, The Columbus Journal subscription rates are $1.50 a year, if paid in advance, otherwise $2.00 a year. Settlements up to that date must be made on the basis of the former rate. All premiums now advertised hold good. Mrs. Sam'l Sickly of Carbon, Wyo., brought with her a handsome skin of a wild cat cautured by Sam, which she presented to Mrs. F. V. Reimer. O. H. Archer who lives in Carbon, and well known here, for many years one of The JovRXAi. force, is in very poor health. -Some man tried to get into Mrs. Mnllen's residence Tuesday night of last week, getting so far as to take the upper hinge off the back screen-door, but the noise roused the inmates of the house, and the dog also became active but the man got away. Another time he may not escape injury. Saturday night we had one of the most business-like and useful rains we have ever seen. It came in abun dance, without great noise and bluster and pretty nearly straight down. Even so careful a man as J. C. Fillman was caught between bis store and the Pres byterian church and got a good soaking. G. P. Burket has been elected su perintendent of the Schuyler schools at a salary of 51,100. There were fifty ap-. plicants. They employ one janitor for the round year, giving $5 a month for Julv and August. The district indebt edness is $25,000 and the fourteen teach ers received an average of S422.80 for the last year's work. I. Gluck has left witn-us specimens, of apples raised at his residence prem ises in the city, which are very fine. In a few years we look to see our great state raise fruit enough for her own-use at least. We know already that the fla vor of our fruit cannot be excelled; now if we can get the quantity to suit, we ought to be satisfied. Supervisor Lisco tells us that the contract for bridge and grading on the line between Columbus and Lost Creek townships, in the Omelia neighborhood, was let to W. H. Randall, price of bridge $18; rate of grading, 6 cents a cubic yard. The highest bid on the bridge was $70, and on the grading 20 cents. There are about eight rods of grading. John Wiggins left with us Thursday a sample of corn from Julius Rudat's place, between Columbus and Duncan. This stalk was 9 feet 2 inches in length when brought in, and, as we.,have had excellent corn weather ever since, its equal fellows .in the field must now be five inches taller, as an inch every twenty-four hours is the usual growth in good corn time. The Argus has .reduced its hoaae print considerably by .way of retrench ment. The Argus acts sensibly. We all p'ublish too' large papers for the pat ronage we get. So says the, Telegram, and the 'all,r of course, is meant to in clude the Biene and The Jocrxal. The. Si fact is indisputable, bat it is earpriaiag what vitality the newspapers of Nebras ka have avidanead through the atriafamt aMaofthelaatraax. har BY..

Columbus folks were not aware until Monday morning that a severe storm had struck a limited portion of the country northeast of us, although heavy clouds were visible here at C o'clock Sunday evening. One man who ventured to get on the platform of a wind mill and take a view, noticed that the destructive clond was the usual funnel-shape, dipping down to earth and rising again and swaying, its path being narrow. Ed. Newman says that at his place, ten miles north of the city, the wind and hail were severe, large trees bending to the ground and the oats being threshed from the stalks. The corn was bent over at an angle of about 45 degrees, but of course will straighten up again. At Nick Adamy's trees were blown down. Jack Lockwood's wind mill was blown down, as were those of three of his neighbors. At Grady's the twister point passed through the house yard and moved his corn crib. We understand that the edge of the storm reached as far west as George Henggler's; that the width of the main storm was a half-mile, its direction be ing southeast. Land Commissioner Russell is doing some good work in the conduct of his office. He holds that any appraisement of school lands showing fraud on its face can be rejected by the board. It seems that in some instances land ap praised at'$7or $8 an acre has been bought, and then it is said the buyer has immediately sold out to private pur chasers for $25 or $30 an acre. At least a dozen appraisements have been re jected and another appraisement com mittee appointed by the present board. Officials who work in the interests of the general public will find that their efforts will be appreciated by those who are most concerned. Albert Hall on Reich Bros' land five miles east' of the city has 100 acres sown to oats, 70 of which are bearingup and just now filling up some of the longest heads we have ever seen. Differ ent estimates are put upon the field varying all the way from 60 to 100 bushels to the- acre. A sample hand full of stalks left with us show heads meas uring from 18 to 26 inches. Mr. Hall thinks the field over would average 12 inches. It is just such 'facts as these that are showing to the world what Ne braska can do in ordinary times. The creditors of Phil Stimmel have to acough up" some of the money-which came into their possession about a year ago by virtue of an execution which they secured on Stimmells stock- of goods, which brought $11,000 at sheriffs sale fecently. A number of farmers of Richland precinct, Colfax -county, sold aeed a year or two ago. to Stunmel'B'.firm and it was supposed would loss all Jthey sent to them, bat now it seems they will get their moaey.; E. a.

At 8D a. nu, Saturday morning nix teen coaches laden with members of the Union Pacific Pioneers' association with their families and friends, left Omaha bound 'for Columbus, to 'enjoy them selves for their second annual picaic in Lthiacity. It is said there was no limit to tha fan and hilarity on board of the train ae it bowled along up the valley. Mayor Phillips, and a large number of citizens met the excursionista at the depot1 at .noon, and, with music by the Columbus Cornet band and Soon of Veterans drum corps the guests were escorted to the park, 'Frankfort square. After dinner, the excursionists re assembled at' the park. Mayor Phillips made the speech of welcome, his theme being the good feeling between the citi zens of Columbus and the Pioneers, as generated on their first visit here, atod by our interests in common with them selves in the prosperity of the great railroad line, which means so much to all of us. In looking over the growing fields of grain on their way hither they could readily see that the utmost capac ity of the Union Pacific would be taxed this year to carry the grain to market. In closing the Mayor said: "Remember ing your last visit to this city, I feel perfectly safe and warranted in turning our city oyer to you today. On behalf of our people I extend you hearty wel come and feel sure that the treatment you will receive at our hands today will be our warrant.that one year hence you will again return to honor us with your presence." (Cheers and applause). President Lillie of the association re sponded with much emo'tion to the mayor's remarks, assuring him that his touching and .eloquent words found a responsive chord in every heart of those who had come to visit the city and they, serve to'cement the bonds of an endur ing friendship between the association and the people of Columbus. He said he had not the language at his command to make suitable reply, but would leave to the musicians the pleasing dnty to fitly express their feel ings. The spirit of prophecy inspired him to forecast the time when eminent statesmen would come to Columbus at the recurring picnics to confer with the Pioneers, and the governors of many states besides the newly-elected con gressmen from the state of Hawaii, should stop here, on their way to Wash ington. "Yes. citizens of. Columbus, your will "become famous through our meet ings, and taay your grass never wither and your dowers never fade." The speech was followed by music, and the remainder of the afternoon was devoted to sports, games and dancing. The association was accompanied by the Seventh ward military band of sev enteen pieces, which rendered choice music at intervals during the day. At 7 the excursionists gave, farewell to Columbus, arriving in Omaha at 10. Columbus hopes that there may be many returns of the day. The Russia Thistle. The act of the legialature, now in force, to provide for the destruction of this nuisance, to prevent its spread, and" to provide for the collection of expenses' incurred thereby and to fix penalties foe the violation of the law, is- now being put into active force by the authorities. Section 2, reads: 'Any person or per sons, company or corporations, owning or occupying any land within the state whether said laud be within the limits of any village or city or elsewhere, or having the control of any such land.who shall knowingly permit or suffer any 'Russian Thistle' to grow or remain thereon after the expiration of the date named in the notice as provided for in section 3 of this act, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and of main-' taining a public nuisance, and on con viction thereof before any court having jurisdiction shall be punished by a fine of not less than ten dollars or more than one hundred dollars and costs of prose cution, and the finding of such thistle or thistles standing and growing on any such land after the date named in the notice shall be prima facie evidence that the person or corporation owning or oc cupying the same or having control thereof knew of and permitted the same to grow and remain thereon." If the pest is not destroyed by Aug. 15, the road overseer must destroy the same and have the expense entered against the land to be collected as other taxes. . School Board.

A man giving his name 'as John 0"Neil stopped at the hospital here three days, leaving Saturday night of tha 6th, aad staying around town until Wednesday, when he started on foot for Platte Cen ter where he said he had friends. He was overtaken by an old man, who waa also seeking work and the two camped out for the night, in the old bub's wagon, about one mile north of Mike Hogan's plaoe.. About 1 o'clock the elder man was awakened, by 0"Neil, who said.be guessed bewoald kill hjmanlf. which frightened the other and he ran .to a near neighbor,, bajk on- retmrainijr 0Neil was found hanging by the seek with a sursingle attached to the plow, which was in the wagoa.

The faaeral took place Monday after noon, Bar.

Kkxxxt Jaly 10, at 10 a. bl, at the the residence of her son, Patrick Henry Kelley, near Oconee, Mrs. Charity Kel ley, in the 87th year of her age, being 86 on her last birthday. March 17. Mra.Keueya maiden name was Beson. She was raised among the Quakers or 'Friends, bat for some years past has .been a member of the "Presbyterian church.'-, . . In 1857 she removed from. Ohio to Ne braska living near Florence. In' 1861 they removed to this section, locating southwest of where Monroe now stands. About two years ago she began-'to be afflicted by cancer, and waa confined to her bed several months. She leaves four sons and one daugh ter: John M., Patrick H., Jesse, Bish. B., and Mrs. Anna Young besides grand and great-grand children. Funeral services were held Thursday at the Presbyterian church in Oconee, and the body brought to Columbus and laid to rest in the cemetery here. Grand-mother Kelley has. been long and very favorably known to rewj many of our Nebraska readers. Of a most e kindly, -generous and 'liberal disposition, she waa at home wherever she came, and made her way immediately tp the hearts of all her acquaintances, whether young or old. She had remarkable strength of mind, and rare good judgment. Her life had been 'one full of interesting incidents, and nothing could be more delightful than to listen to her narration of some of these, happening in her childhood days . in the Quaker neighborhood of Jefferson county, Ohio. Her long life has been one of useful ness: to others, lived in the true spirit of Christianity, and the world has been bettered by her being in it. -.Platte Coaaty vs. Joka Staaftr. Mb. Editor: Oar independent friends, the Argus,, had quite a learned expose in a late issue by our learned friend, L L. Albert, in re, of the Platte county-John Stauffer settlement While I have no interest whatever in the matter,, no special interest in Mr. Stauffer, more than in any- other worthy citizen, one part of Mr. Albert's remarks seamed ir relevant, if not irreverent I haven't the article at hand just now, and so write from memory, but in his citation of a transaction between "Brown and Smith" as illustrative of above matter, it looked as if the learned gentle man waa. straining. As I can find no such case having been passed on, aa the Brown-Smith case, I might claim, as the gold bugs do about Coin's Financial School, that there ia no sense in it "be cause no such school was ever held in Chicago," but granting that I have missed the "Brown-Smith" deal, it seems inapplicable to the Stauffer case. P. C. (Platte county) employed J. S. (John Stauffer) to do certain work, perform certain duties, and made him get certain of his friends and neighbors to give bond that he (J. S.) would faithfully perform said duties and properly account for everything of value, belonging to Platte county, that came into his possession. But 3'. S. was not permitted to settle with P. C. direct, on his own sicom or unstcorii statement and settlement, for P. C. employed C. C. (county commis sioners) to -make settlement with J. S., requiring C. C. to give bond, too, tor what and to whom? Why, presumably to protect P. C, from loss in all business they transacted for "him." One of the acts of C. C. for -P. C, while in his em ploy, was to settle with J. S. The law gives C. C. full and free access to all of J. S's books, papers, accounts, records, etc. After a" full, free and thorough (we must presume) examination of J. S. and his accounts C. C. settle with him in full foe and on account of P. C. and submit their settlement to P. C. and P. C. aceejits (am I right?) and J. S. supposes he is done and" through with it and takes up his daily private 'life and affairs. Some months, or years later, P. C. en gages a brilliant individual, one of the modern-man type (or "coming" man, they call 'em) who finds out or thinks he does (which is all the same to your "coming man") that his employer, P. C, has been robbed, defrauded and pil ferred!!! and so he starts in to recover for P. C. Does he go after C. C, who was P. C's agent authorized to settle- with and-release J. S.? It would seem to us common mortals that that is what he ought to have done, but no, he takes the "legal" (God bleas that word "legal" as used in the west) tack and goes after J. S- who has settled in full and has P. Ca receipt and release. Well, after months of worry, tease and threats they endeavor to persuade J. S., who has be come old, worn and broken, that he was a villain, a rascal and a fraud and did do" P. C. out of money he (P. C.) ought to have had. J. S. does not know how be did it, he had no such intentions or desires, but amarty," by haggling and juggliag of figures and words, has proved it and so it mast be so, so he (J. 8.) is willing to do all that is left to him to do, to make restitution of what he has (un consciously) "robbed!" (Ob, my, bow that does Bound) P. C." of and he pays hack what.""smarty cai'mahad ben stolen, robbed and purloined. But poor J. Sl'bow broken' in spirits, and .injured ia pocket health and reputation, wants this to be final, finale and full, so be asks another of P.

I .will see that he .isn't de frauded'again by that ecam'p, J. &. and so he looks np some inoffensive lad and persuades him to ''bring 'an- action" (ah, what solace in an 'action f it does some times bring; relief, Mr. Editor, 'tis true) and employ what they say" is. the shrewdest and sleekest arm of attorneys in town" to fight the case. This is more of a parallel case, Mr. Editor, than the one cited by cur -friend' Albert, aad yet a dozen or more churches in oar little town will today spout forth aboat the beauties of civilization, brotherly love andJriendship that have been produced by and are now existent in the world as a result of their preaching and teaching of .the christian religion.

Japan keeps her eye on Russia, while Columbus township keeps her eye on Russia n thistles. Clint'SteVenson who lives a mile east of the county line, has the best mule colt we have seen this spring. Mr. Tschudy, 5U mile- south of the school house is the first to stack grain; finished stacking his rye last Thursday. Rev. Elliott of Columbus, will preach at the school house next Sabbath at 3 p. m.; it would be pleasing to all to see a full house at that hour. The hum of the threshing machine was heard last Friday, east of the school house, and in the evening we learned that George Eogel threshed his new barley, and it yielded about 60 bushels per acre. It is said that Joe Drinnin, on the Fourth of July was watching a colony of bees that he was expecting to swarm on that day, and when he emerged from the house to hang out a pair of overalls, which he had been washing, he was just 1 in time to. say 'Good-bye busy bees." The bees had decamped. On Sunday, the 7th inst, about 3 o'clock p. m., and while a sermon on the ten commandments was being preached at the school house, a base ball game was in progress about one mile east during which a young man from Schuy ler, whose name we did not learn, came in collision with soother young man, who was making a home run,-in such a manner, as to break a leg of the former below the knee; he was tenderly cared for by those present, and taken to Schuyler, while his limb was very pain ful and swelling fast. R. SaggtstioR far "Seeker." A good life is the end of all religious effort - Truth ia God's remedy for error of every sort. Humility, like darkness, reveal the heavenly lights. Selfishness brings evil and invents the false to defend and hide it. A loving heart incloses within itself an unfailing and eternal Eden. Is not light grander than fire? It is the same element in a state of purity. Learning teaches how to carry things in suspense 'without prejudice till you resolve. It is only the finite that has wrought and suffered; The infinite lies stretched in smiling repose. Is it not of more vital importance to be open to all truth than to hold with dog matic tenacity to what little we happen to have? . The spiritual man is he who loves truth for its own sake; whose mind is always open to truth, from whatever quarter it may come. The ten commandments are the ten beacon lights that signal the ten danger ous places where humanity might be shipwrecked. The Lord has given us a doctrine of good and truth that enables us to face our evils and falses squarely. He gives us the assurance that we will conquer if we, go forth in his strength. Every dutyr even the least duty, in volves the whole principle of obedience. The commonest life may be full of per fection. The duties of home are a disci pline for the ministries of heaven. There is no power that will separate you from your confirmed character, here or hereafter. Religion makes-this em phatic; love forms the character; as the quality of your love is, so is the quality of your character. Let but the public mind once become corrupt, and all attempts to secure prop erty, liberty or life, by mere force of laws written on parchment, will be as vain as to put up printed notices in an orchard to keep off canker-worms. tiffthtts.

Schuyler Quill: The land assessment of Colfax county is not ont of propor tion to other assessments, but it .is out of proportion to that of other counties. hence it would be a good thing for our commissioners to send a man down to Lincoln when the state board of equal ization meets and have our state enroll ment reduced. Counties wherein land is as valuable as in Colfax the assess ment is about half as much, hence we must pay double our state taxes unless the reduction is secured, which will not be unless asked for. David City News: Mack Ball appears to have become a regular seeker after dollars: Last Thursday he and his band hired out to the citizens of Rising to play for the edification of the people who were there to celebrate, for which they received $20. Now Mack and the boys do not only make a success of blowing a horn, but they can play ball just a little bit too, and they went into the game-there to win the $6 put up as prize for the best club. Of course they' got that too. Then Mack had the au dacity to put up his baby in the baby show and the fond mothers and doting papas of Rising stood no show against Mack's youngster, and there was $1.50 more. Schuyler Sun: George Mentzer in forms the Sun that he will go on a visit this fall to his old home at Frankstown, Pennsylvania, and while there will teach in the same district in which he taught fourteen years ago The reporter has noticed one thing about the land that was planted to beets in this vicinity last year. And that is that it leaves the ground in very poor condition for any other crop and when beets have been grown the year previous it needs a great deal of manuring to produce one next season. Fanners who plant beets this year would do well to remember this. If they do not manure heavily after a beet crop they may look for a failure of anything else. To Chicago aad the Eat.
