'The teachers of the Summer' Nor
mal gave the pupils who bad been at
tending, together with many "of their
friends, a picnic last Thursday, at
Stevens' grove. At noon a dinner was
enjoyed by about; 'ISO pootaVInTthe
afternoon a game of base ball was
played, the teachers against the "Pump
kin Ridge" nine, resulting in a victory
for the teachers. A vote of thanks was
unanimously tendered to the faculty of
the Normal for the pleasure given, and
the interest taken for the pupils during
the past six weeks. - There were 93 per
sons enrolled, and, considering the hard
times, the teachers feel wonderfully en
couraged. The Deere folks have brought out a
plow that promises to revolutionize the
work on the farm. It. was tested re
cently at -Council Bluffs, and here is
what is said by the Bee: "The test was
made in a little stubble field north of
Twenty-fifth street. The spectators saw
two ordinary .horses pulling a small
compact machine that was cutting a
Wide swath in the black dirt and pulver
izing it to the depth of nearly three
times that reached by the old plows.' A
concave steel disc, about the size of a
bicycle wheel, was rolling along and
throwing out the dirt like. a ditching
machine, while back of it a steel tongue
was tearing up the earth fonrteen inches
below the surface. There was no shear,
mouldboard. or cutter, but the rolling
disc moving freely and set at an angle,
was doing the work, cutting a furrow
twenty inches wide and fourteen deep, a
feat that could only be accomplished in
the old way by two teams and a sub-soil
plow, making a saving in draught of 60
per cent. Thero. is no friction. The
rolling disc seems to cut the earth and
pry it out of the furrow, pulverizing it
most thoroughly. . The test was highly
satisfactory to Mr. Wells and those per
sonally interested, and made the old
farmers that had been attracted -open
their eyes in unfeigned astonishment."
At the meeting of the horticulturists
at Madison Wednesday last, constitu
tion and by-laws were adopted, and the
name agreed upon is Northeastern Ne
braska .Horticultural Society. The at
tendance was good, and a number of
now members taken in. Twenty plates
of fruit were on exhibit at the meeting,
and it was determined to make an ex
hibit of fruit at the Madison county
fair, and take it from there to the state
fair. Another meeting of the society is
to be held at Madison, September 11, in'

when the subject was tree agents. The
only thing said in favor of the tree agent
who goes over the country taking orders
auu wen ouys ms biock wnere ne can
get it the cheapest, was that many far
mers would not hare invested at-all un
less it had been for the persistency of
the agent. One man said that not one
thousandth part of the fruit trees he
bought of agents had grown; and yet it
paid him. Latterly he had bought of
nurserymen and had had good success
with his trees. A Stanton coanty man
exhibited a gooseberry one inch in

. The music-loving people of Columbus
enjoyed a rare treat in the concert given
laat Tuesday evening for the benefit of
St Mary's hospital. Mr. J. T. Cox waa
the leader in arranging so choice a pro
gram. We have not space to give the
full program but all the numbers were
thoroughly -enjoyed by the large au
dience in attendance. -
Prof. Joseph Gahm, the great pianist
of Omaha, gave a number of selections,
among the beet being those from Chopin.
Prof. Gahm was a pupil of Liszt and in
many ways shows the training of that
wonderful pianist
Mr. Joseph Barton, also of Omaha and
one of the best basso. soloists of that
city, enraptured the audience by his
pure deep .tones, and wonderful pene
trating voice.
Miss Adelaide Kalkmatf, of St Louis
ha a fine voice that has received the
best of training in Chicago and she is
now considered one of the very best
singers of that city. Miss Kalkman
goes to Berlin this fall to study further.
Her rendering of "For All Eternity" was
superb, and for an encore she sangi
"Home, Sweet Home" in. a charming
manner. .
Miss M. LouOrmsby of Central City,
a pupil of the Boston Conservatory, was
enohored after .singing "I Have Some
thing Sweet to Tell You," and "There,
Little Girl, Don't Cry." Miss Ormsby
has a sweet voice, fnll of expression.
The Columbus musicians assisting

' Geergia Letter.
High Ponrr, July 28, 1895.
Ed. JocBXAi.: Very little sunshine,
with too much rain and cloudy weather,
have retarded the farmer in his work
and allowed the grass to make consider
able headway, however crops are grow
ing and everything is in very good con
dition; corn is very promising and the
outlook for the crop was probably never
better! All the 'first-planted corn has
been laid by in good condition, but
much of the late planting on the bottom
lands is very poor owing' to the water
standing on the ground. Owing -to the
wet weather, too, watermelons are not
doing so well; sweet potatoes are fine
and promise a large yield. Earjy Irish
potatoes and onions.have been harvest-'
ed, which yielded fairly well. Potatoes
are only worth 35c per bushel and onions
only 40 to 50c per bushel. All garden
truck is in first-class condition, cabbage
are rotting ia the patches, there are so
many they are' not worth gathering.
Fruit trees are breaking with their loads
of rapidly-ripening fruit There is so
much it 'is not worth" hauling off,' and
there are just loads of apples lying on
the ground rotting. The markets are so
glutted with fruit and vegetables that
farmers prefer to feed' it to their stock
than to take it to the city at the pre
vailing prices.
There is a good deal of poor land in
Georgia, but on the poor land people
manage to make a good living, and have
pkaty. We are .planting beans now on
the ground where the onions were, and
the second crop of Irish potatoes. It
looks as if the people planted all the
yearronnd. They were planting before
I came here and are still planting.
When one crop goes out they plant an
other in its place. This is sure a land
of plenty. Yours respectfully,
R Compton.
DEATH OP J. S. M'COKMICK.
One ef Oaaha'a Early Merehaatiaad Freigh
ter te 1he Went.
Josiah S. McCbrmick, one of the pio
neers of Omaha, died at his rooms, at
Fifteenth and Farnam streets, yester
day afternoon. Mr. McCormick came to
Omaha in 1856, and with his brother,
John McCormick; engaged in the whole
sale grocery business.. Selling .out a
couple of years later, he engaged in the
freighting business between Omaha and
Salt Lake, continuing until the com-
Sletion of the Union Pacific railroad,
'rom 1872 until 1875 he was post and
Indian trader at Fort Laramie, and from
1876 until 1878 he operated a freight
line into the Black Hills. In 1879 Mr.
McCormick returned to this city, and
after that time he dealt in real estate.
For some months his health had been
very poor. Three weeks ago he went
up to Lake Osakis, Minn., returning ten
days ago. A few days after his return
he contracted a severe cold, which ter
minated in congestion of the lungs and
brain, causing his death.
He leaves a son, Harry McCormick,
and a daughter, Mrs. Arthur Remington,
both of whom reside in the city. The
deceased was a member of the Elks, and
that organization will probably have
charge of the funeral.
The above is from the Omaha Bee of
the 4th. Mr. McCormick, familiarly
known as "Dick," was born at Cadiz,
Harrison .county, Ohio, and was, as a
youth, well known" to many readers of
The Journal. The writer remembers
reciting out of the First reader to Miss
188
Lucinda Croseen, assistant teacher
Samuel McCormick, father of "Dick,
who had then as a boy the same traits
of character
that afterwards
-
dtatiu-
-guished him as a man. Impulsive and
frank, he never deserted his friends and
never flinched before his enemies. .

A New Way of Treaties Jurors.
Judge Caldwell of- the United States
circuit court for the Eighth circuit,
who will be remembered for his attitude
last year in respect to railroads and
their employees, has been making
another very sensible deliverance.
In a case at Cheyenne, when a bailiff
was being sworn to take charge of the
jury and to keep them together without
meat or drin'c, water excepted, until
they shou'u agree upon a verdict, the
judge interposed and refused to permit
the clerk to administer the oath. He
said that- jurors performed quite as im
portant functions as judges and should
be treated with the same consideration;
that in order to perform their duties in
telligently they should be afforded every
facility for deliberation under condi
tions of mind and body that will evoke
their best judgment; that starving,
freezing, deprivation of sleep and denial
of all comforts is not the best mode of
doing this and that the old methods of
treating jurors was cruel, barbarous
and inhuman.
He then went on to say to the jury
that they might retire to their room and
if they could not agree before supper
they might adjourn and return to their
deliberations after they had eaten and
so continue to adjourn for meals and
sleep until they had agreed upon a ver
dict or' were discharged by the eourt.
It has taken ' several centuries for
judges to arrive at this conclusion, but
now that it has been pointed out other
judges will perhaps follow the prece
dent At all events it will take jurors out of
the category of criminals.' Chicago
