Saturday night we had one of the

if we can get the quantity to suit, we
ought to be satisfied.

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.

SaaiUy'a Storm.
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

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. .

Mra.Keueya maiden name was Beson.
She was raised among the Quakers or

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. Ca numerous agents

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

town will today spout forth aboat the
beauties of civilization, brotherly love
andJriendship that have been produced

slur on the christian religion, it only

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.

Selfishness brings evil and invents the

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

There is no power that will separate

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.
