The folks at our house were aroused
rather early one morning last week by

house was wakened up, told what had
been heard,' and urged pretty strongly
to investigate, which he did with a light,
but found nothing in. the shape of a man
walking over loose lumber, as had been
supposed. Later along, a little after
daylight, an old man with a large handle
of pieces of pine boards, came down the
street from the north, walking bare-foot.
his back bowed by the weight of his
load. Neither of us said k word, and he
went his way south, but we 'couldn't
dispossess ourselves of the notion that
he. had been oat foraging nd had got
what woald have cost him at least a dol
lar at a lasmaar yard.

On Wednesday' evening last aboat 5
o'clock, four girls went wading in the
Platte river, south of this city, aad get
ting into a hole beyoad their death,
three of them were drowned. The other
one, says that she saved herself by
touching bottom and jam ping "ap to
catch a breath of air, aad thas doing
until she got oat of the deep -place, she
came to a sandbar about a half aula
from where the casualty occurred, went
home and gave, the alarm.
Mike Welch -and Robert Lisoo, at
about 8:30 and a mite below where the
girls met 'their death, found on a sand
bar the bodies of Lizzie and Hulda
Klaus; a few minutes afterwards Mr.
Lisoo and Mr. Sparhawk found the body
of Mary Klaus, about a mile and a half
.below the scene of the" disaster. .
Lizzie Klaus, aged 13, was the' daugh
ter of Charles Klaus of this city; Mary
and Hulda, were respectively aged 11
and 7 years, and were daughters of
Gottlieb Klaus, who lives, just south of
the Platte river bridge.
The 'funeral took place' Thursday
afternoon at five from the German Re
formed church, Rev. De Cellar preach
ing a sermon at the church, in German,
and making a brief address in English
at the grave, taking his text in Psalms
Ixix, 2, 3 and 14 "I sink in deep, mire,
where there is no standing; I am come
into deep waters, where 'the floods over
flow me. I. am weary of my crying:
my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while
kl wait for my God. Deliver me -out of
the mire, and let me not sink: Ivt me be
delivered from them that hate'me, and
out of the deep waters." The church
was crowded to overflowing during the
services, and the -bodies of the three
children, (the oldest, being niece, to the
two sisters) were laid side by side in the
same grave.
This is what the Falls City Journal
says about it:
"Night dress parties have been sprung
on the unsuspecting.' Fremont is the
first town in Nebraska-to follow the fad,
.They are. conducted in thia way. Tho
hostess invites as many ladies as she
wishes. Gentlemen may be invited if
she should desire, to take part in the
first half-of the evening's entertainment.
Dancing, cards and other amusements
are indulged in until 11 o'clock, when
the ladies bid the gentlemen good night.
Then the fun begins. The hostess has
provided cots nnd beds enough for
guest's, the ladies, and the guests have
brought with them their bight dresses.
A change of costume is at once maie
and then well you know what twenty
five to fifty girls will do when put to bed
in the same room." Maybe before morn
ing they will organize. serenading par
ties. In fact they are licensed to do
everything but sleep."
But we notice by the Fremont papers
that some, at least, of the older people
of the community, object to these par
ties carrying on to such an extent that
they disturb their- neighbors and keep
them from sleeping, until G o'clock in
the morning.
J. C. Fillman writes to the editor of
The Journal from Excelsior Springs,
Missouri, under date of July .28, that on
leaving this city on the 27tb, his atten
tion was immediately turned toward the
prospects of the corn crop. There is no
end to the small grain, and hay -in the
valley, however the corn is patiently
waiting-.its promised rain; some .fields
around Fremont have waited too long; ,
corn elsewhere looks well. Pastures
look very poor. East of North Bend
five miles, tho folks' said they had had
rain which made the corn crop of 95 a
sure thing there. At Council Bluffs a
street car ride over town showed noth
ing astir except the electric-, cars. By
inquiry, it was learned that western
Iowa is very dry and eastern Iowa very
wet. Along the river down to St. Joe
the crops are looking fine. At this
place they got into a genuine rain, none
of your gentlo Nebraska showers, but a
pour down of four inches from 5-30 to
8:10 a. m. and still raining.
Bixby, the inveterate joker of the
.Lincoln Journal, had this to say of one
of oar .citizens who happened in the
Capital city last week:
"Attorney W..M. Cornelias of Colum
bus was in the city yesterday in the
interest of an -irrigation company, and
put in" a few spare moments describing
the scope of the oats crop in Platte
county. Mr. Cornelius came to Colum
bus in the early .seventies, and has made
a reputation as the only lawyer north of
the river who hasn't aspired to go to
congress or get on the school board and
make trouble. He is one of the' hap
piest men in the state) and last year,
when the. fields were as bare as the top
of his head he has grown no hair for
twenty years he encouraged the far
mers by telling them they ought to be
thankful that the mortgages were not
consumed with the crop."
We offer Mr.. Cornelius the. use of our
columns to get even.
John Eisenman laid upon our table
Friday some fine specimens of potatoes
Early Ohio and June Eating, both
splendid looking varieties. He tells us
that he planted his potatoes on loose
soil, a foot apart just tramping them in
so they could root, and then, putting
straw all over the patch, lefc them
without, any further care whatever, by
hand or hoe or plow. Thus the ground
is absolutely free from weeds; the soil
keeps moist under the straw; there is no
work in cultivating; and you can raise
as many potatoes on" one acre by this
method as on two by the .common way.
John thinks that every farmer should
have about five acres to rye so as to
have a plenty of good straw for his patch
of potatoes.
- A newspaper man cannot always
track a report down and get all the
truth, but we can give it as a rumor
that last week some one was caught in a
field of oats near the city after night;
and began loading, his wagon, when be
was stopped by two charges of small
shot from a double-barrelled shot-gun,
in the-hands of a man who was on the
look-out'for a thief, having missed oats
before this. It is also rumored that the
man shot (who didn't, stop when he was

- Kaae Ball.
. Friday's game between Columbus and
Beulah was somewhat of a disappoint
ment to the "fans" who .went out to the
park and sat through two hours and a
half of a hot, sultry afternoon.
The boys from Beulah wore all kinds
of suits and some of them looked oddly"
enough. The boy's in the Columbus
nine played as though they had an easy
task and the score proves that they were
correct. Altogether it was an unevent
ful game. The score by innings:
Columbus ...203632 20220
Beulah......; 1'2 0 0 2 3 0 0 19
PLATTE CENTER VS. COLUMBUP.
Saturday- afternoon the Platte Center
base ball club' played the Columbus
boys at the new ball park. The Platte
Center team played good ball and up to
the sixth inning were ahead; but after
that tho home boys'-batted hard and
won the game.
It was a most remarkable game in.two
particulars. First, Columbus played an
errorless game and second, all .the put'
outs are credited to the infield, the third
baseman being .the only man who had
no chances. Backus' timely batting and
excellent fielding were the features of
the game. Coffee, Corbett, Holmes and
Kleffner played strong ball for Colum
bus, while Perkinson, Clother, Hays' and
McGee did good work for the visitors.
Finnecy is getting in good- form and
made three clean hits.

At Detroit, July 23, Charlie Morse's

speed. The dispatches of that day read
'as follows:
"A much -larger crowd was present at.
the Grosse Point track this afternoon
than on the opening day, and the bet
ting was much more spirited. The at
traction was the rich Merchants' and
Manufacturers' stake of $8,000. Cor
poral sold favorite in the auctions until
after the second heat, when Don L. was
made favorite, although the talent were
a little shy in view of the gelding's er
ratic performance at Lansing last week.
When he lost the third heat to Iron Bar
the crowd dropped him like a piece of
hot iron and plunged on Corporal at
even money- against the field. The
judges were hot satisfied with the man
ner in which The Corporal was acting
and took Chandler down and put Geers
behind the big gelding in the third heat.
Iron Bar won the beat in a driving
finish, with. Falkland, Don L., El Rami
and The Corporal well pp. Geers got
The Corporal in shape in the fourth heat
and he had no trouble winning out.

. Fremont Herald: Judge Holmes waa
in Lincoln yesterday.. While going
down O street he was stopped by a po
liceman and questioned. It transpired
that the officers were looking for a con
fidence man known as "Skinny Bill,"
and the judge of Fremont's police court
was stopped on suspicion;
North Bend Republican: . Herman
Yebrs,-always first, threshed and mar
keted his wheat this week. A sample of
the grain waa left at this office. It was
red wheat, weight 63 lis per bushel, and
the yield waa 403 bushels from 11 acres.
Mr. Yehrs received a satisfactory price,
had -a satisfactory yield, a satisfactory
quality of graia, and in fact, bis success,
in farming is always satisfactory' to him
self. He fertilizes bis soil, plows deep,
rises early, works late, and' never grum
bles at Providence or the railroads. He
is a farmer and not a legislator.
Hooper Sentinel: The 15 year old sou
of J. B. West, of the Maple Creek neigh
borhood waa the victim of a peculiar
accident last Saturday afternoon. In
company with a number of other boys
he had been playing ball. On his way
home he stopped on a small bridge and
proceeded .to pick a sliver from his hand
with his knife. A companion seeing
him standing near the rail, and not no
ticing the knife, ran against him and
the knife striking the rail penetrated
the.left breast between the ribs cutting
an artery and injuring the nerve. Had'
it not been for the blade striking, a rib
in its course it wonld have cut a large
artery. Dr. Wiener, the attending phy
sician, thinks he will- come out all right
if no unforseen complications set. .in, al
though he is quite, weak from loss of
blood.
Madison Reporter: John Johnson, a
farm hand in the employ of Tom Alder
son, southeast 'of town, was brought to
town Friday suffering from a rattle
snake bite. He was taken to tho office
of Dr. Long and in a couple of days was
all right. It is reported that rattle
snakes are more plentiful this year, than
usual. '
Albion News: From. all sections of our
county come reports of an unusually
satisfactory harvest of small grain. A
number of farmers have, already thresh
ed their barley and the yield is said to
be as high as 100 bushels per acre. That
.may be an exaggerated report, but from
GO to' 70 bushels .an acre is a common
thing. This is very gratifying when we
consider that 40 bushels is a large yield.
It is too early for a certain estimate on
wheat and .oats, but the yield on those
crops will be in keeping with the barley
yield and farabove the average.
