It is a noticeable fact that whenever The Journal deems a matter worth a lengthy write-up, the Telegram is sore to follow in its wake, evidently using The Journal's report as the ground work for its report. This is so common an occurrence as to be remarked by those who read both papers. Intelli gent, discriminating readers irive The 1 Jouxxax doe credit of course.

Cain of Leigh, was brought to the city Saturday night, coming on the cars by way of Humphrey. He was accompanied by his son, J. W., who re turned home Sunday. The doctor has been afflicted some nine weeks. He is at St Mary's hospital and under treatment by Drs. Martyn, Evans & Geer. W. A. Van Nice, the piano tuner, got into trouble of some kind at Humphrey and was followed to Albion by the mar shal. By representing himself as a K. of P. and thirty-second degree Mason he managed to borrow money enough to settle the Humphrey trouble. Van Nice did considerable work in his line at Albion for which he received cash, but quietly left Albion without paying the borrowed money or his hotel bill. Bran son of the Albion house at once swore out a warrant, and Van Nice was arrest ed at Cedar Rapids, brought to Albion, was tried and fined. So says a telegram in the Lincoln Journal. Mr. Van Nice is no doubt an expert piano tuner. His work in this city showed that The Dodge county supervisors have published a notice in which they say: "From and after May 1st, 1896, the county will not furnish assistance to any persons who are able to do work and maintain themselves and families, win ter or summer. And all aged, sick or infirm persons applying for aid will be committed to the poor houso and no other assistance be granted." At their last general meeting the Orpheus society presented their leader, Frank Gores, a bag full of silver coin, Frank Hagel making the presentation speech.

The north and south side kid nines played an interesting game of base ball last Saturday resulting in a victory for the north side boys by a score of 11 to 16. Captain Guy Fox will go to Genoa some time this week to make arrange ments for a game there between the north siders and the kid nine of that place. Genoa boys look out when you play our kid nine, as they are all perfect little gentleman, and they play ball from start to finish. The recital given at the Congrega tional church last evening by Mrs. Florence Halliday Brown, assisted by Miss Ida Martin, elocutionist, Miss Elsie Morse, pianist, and a quartette composed of Misses Emma Wake, Lulu Schroeder, Pearl Mosgrove and Zura Morse, was well attended, notwithstanding the in clement weather, and all present were well repaid, a splendid program being rendered. We have not space this morning to particularize, enough to say that all did excellently. Mrs. Jack Elston started Sunday for Butte, Montana, called thither by the death of her father, Phillip Good win, formerly of this place, who died Saturday last. Mr. Goodwin will be re membered by many of the older readers of The Journal, all of whom will bo grieved to hear of his death. He visited here about a year ago, and those who then saw him in such good health will be surprised to learn of his departure to tho land of spirits. On Friday Louis Phillips while re pairing a 38-calibre revolver, put a cart ridge in the chamber to see whether it would revolve properly, holding the hammer up with his thumb. His thumb, being oily, slipped, and the cart ridge was discharged into the calf of his left leg, since which time he has been at home, suffering more or less, until yes terday morning, when he was reported free from pain and getting along all right, although the ball has not been taken out. Friday the seventh state conven tion A. O. H. met in this city. The fol lowing were elected officers for the next two years: John Rush of Omaha, pres ident; T. J. Mahoney of Omaha, vice president; P. J. Murphy of Rogers, treasurer; Mr. O'Malley of Greeley Cen ter, secretary; John Nangle of Omaha, state secretary of insurance; Richard O'Keefe of Omaha, treasurer of insur ance. There were fifty delegates pres ent, and one of the chief objects of the session was the perfecting of the insur ance system of the order. The next bi-ennial convention will be held at Al liance, Box Butte count'. A year ago the county supervisors set apart a fund of $10,000 for the pur pose of expending for grain to be used as seed, and loaning to farmers, taking notes payable in December. $1,624.44 were not used and there was some grain left, which, converted into money, amounted to $65.50. Of all loaned out, $5,729.47 has been paid in, leaving only some $2,500 outstanding, which will in all probability be paid in this fall, making a much better showing than was by many thought possible a year ago. The plain people are all right. We are indebted to Deputy Becher of the treas urer's office for these figures. The teachers' meeting at Humphrey Saturday was well attended by both teachers and others. Several of the most prominent instructors of Madison and Platte counties were present Near ly every town in both counties were represented by their superintendents, together with other teachers.

At the last regular session of the grand lodge Ancient Order United Workmen a resolution was passed to which Grand Master Workman Tate refers in the fol lowing circular which he has iasned to the order. The resolution adopted was: "Recognizing the fact that the prin ciples and practices of the A. O. U. W. have only to be set before all home loving men to meet their hearty ap proval and co-operation; also that an annual religious service in inemorv of I our departed brethren is a most fitting nuguuiuu ui uui iiaiciuui iuiertL3 1U each other, therefore bo it "ResdPred, That this A. O. U. W. grand lodge set apart the first Sunday in May to be known as 'A. O. U. W. floral day' and to be observed each year by subor dinate lodges of this grand jurisdiction with appropriate services and the deco ration of the graves of their departed brethren." The grand master exhorts the various lodges to meet in their lodge rooms prior to the time of holding the relig ious services and repair in a body to the church, where such services are to be held; to go to tho graveyards after the religious services are concluded and strew the graves of the sleeping with flowers, and especially urges that the children of A. O. U. W. families be en couraged to take part in the exercises. "Let us make this day," concludes Grand Master Workman Tate, "as mem orable to our order as Memorial day is to that splendid organization, the G. A.R." There is no doubt but the A. O. U. W. is one of the very best of all the frater nal orders in existence, and its adoption of the beautiful and appropriate cere monies of Floral day marks an epoch in the order. The April meeting of the Farmers' club was entertained by Mrs. M. E. Lockbart The meeting was called to order by the president, minutes of pre vious meeting read and approved and some business attended to. The exer cises were then opened by instrumental duet, A. W. Clark on the violin accom panied by his son, Clarence, at the piano. Wm. Mayes, sr., opened the subject, "Best timo and method of sowing," a very timely topic. Mrs. H. B. Reed opened the poultry question, in which a lively interest was taken, especially by the ladies. Miss Wise gave several in strumental solos on the piano. Mrs. Earnest Mayes read a good essay on gardening, a good subject, and one in which, it is presumed she finds a new interest this spring. Mrs. George Gal ley, jr., gave current events. Mr. Clark and son Clarence then gave us more very enjoyable music. Exercises closed with some selections from gospel hymns, Mrs. Dr. Voss presiding at the piano. Visitors present were Mesdames Voss, Rainy and Grover. Next meeting to be held at Mr. A. W. Clark's next Friday, May 1st.

Minutes of provioaa meeting rend, corrected and approved. Boad petition of Benson, et al, ordered r tamed to petitioners for free right of way. The following resolution of the town board of Monroe township was presented, viz: At a meeting of the town board of Monroe township, held March Slat. IMS, the following resolution was ananimoasly adopted and the clerk was directed to furnish a copy to taa board of sopervisors: Resolved, That this township is abandantly able to famish its officers with such of the stat ute as are necessary for their guidance in pub lic business, bat we are not willing to pass by what we consider aa an encroachment on oar rights and privileges without a protest. The justice of the peace is aa much of county officer as the judges and the clerks of the county, and the statutes are more essential to him than (with their facilities for obtaining legal knowledge) to the supervisors; as we read the law and it has never been disputed heretofore, it ia made the duty of the county clerk under certain methods to furnish the statutes to the county officiate therein specified and if he has failed in his duty it is no reason why this should be visited upon tho people at large, but if he is innocent com mon justice requires that a more explicit ex planation should be given of the cause of fail ure than is contained in the resolution of the county board. Gko. S. Hutoax. Town Clerk. The foregoing resolution was read and re ferred to committee on claims. Mr. Langley, county commissioner of Colfax county.
