Easton tells us that during a storm Tuesday of last week Walter Powell lost through fire by lightning, a corn crib and 250 bushels of corn. From that the fire spread to granary, barn, sheds, etc. The barn was insured for $75. The loss was $200. Neighbors turned out to help or the loss might have been much more. Saturday afternoon a rack of gas and pump pipe fell at Dussell's place, slightly injuring Chris. Abts and Harlie DusselL The probability is that if it had not been for a strong work bench in front of the rack, it would have proven a dead-fall to the man and boy. As it was. however, there was fortunately no serious injury to either. Miss Maud Naylor and Miss Taylor of Columbus were guests of Miss Bertha Jones on Monday last Mrs. Hudson came up from Columbus Monday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Winterbotham, and family Al Parker returned from his trip to the Pacific coast last week and resumed his position as assistant at the depot. Genoa Leader. Watts W. Burgess, years ago a resi dent of this city, has recently severed his connection with The Four Corners, a newspaper at Wheatland, Calit, and has taken up his residence in San Fran cisco, where he expects to engage either in newspaper or medicine business. Watts' old friends here will always be glad to hear of his prosperity. Fred Rickert, a car repairer for the TJ. P. company, accidentally shot him self through the right hand Saturday afternoon. He had been shooting at a target with his revolver and thought all the bullets were out, when on laying the weapon down it was discharged, the ball passing through the palm of his right hand, breaking the bone of the third finger. Dr. Okey, who left here about a month ago for Illinois and who has been quite sick ever 6ince, had an operation performed on him Sunday, and his re covery is now very doubtful Mrs. George Mack and children came up from Columbus Wednesday and will re side in the Considine house, recently vacated by Frank Hughes. Platte Cen ter SignaL R. S. Dickinson's spirited team at tached to a light spring wagon took a notion for a fly around Saturday, be tween the tracks and east of the Ele vator mill, bringing up, or down rather, in a big hole back of Lubker's, where they floundered in the water for some minutes before they were extricated. Mr. Dickinson wasn't in the wagon all the while, and we are glad to record that nobody was hurt. Yesterday morning as John Tan nahill drove into the alley in rear of Boettcher's hardware store, he was so used to his old horse taking his own way that he did not notice just where he was going and the first thing he knew, his delivery wagon had struck the corner and he and his boxes were lying on the ground. John got up smiling and un hurt, but he had to have some repairs made on the wagon. A telegram was received Saturday evening by George Barnum telling him of the sudden death, that afternoon at five, of his sister, Mrs. Sarah Lisco, at Fort Worth, Texas. Her husband, John Lisco, died in 1889. She leaves three children, Willie, Joseph and Mary, aged respectively, 16, 14 and nine years. Just a week before her death she left here, after a two weeks' visit among friends, remarking that she was enjoying un usual good health. John G. Pollock, Gus Speice and Leonard Hohl of Columbus spent Sun day in this vicinity, and somehow a very large number of fish got impoled on their walking sticks while they were here. The gentlemen felt very bad about the matter because it was Sun day, but they really couldnt help it. The next time they come to Fullerton on Sunday they are going to build wire fences around themselves to keep the fish away. Fullerton News. Mm. John Myers of Shell Creek had a painful, if not serious accident happen to her Saturday afternoon. While going home with her husband, at the edge of town the team became fright ened at something, and Mrs. Myers, thinking they were running away, jumped out, her dress catching in the wheel; she was thrown down and the hind wheel passed over her cheat, frac turing three ribs. She waa able to be aaored to her home Sunday. In an account of an eatertammeat given at the university by the elocution department the following is taken from the State Journal:. "The program, which was quite pleas ingly arranged, opened with a piano solo, "Spinning Wheel," by Schultze. played with riiintinwen by Miss Ethel Galley." Miss Phoebe Gerrard took part in a farce, "The Mouse Trap." Saturday last Wm. Speice under the impression that a person who had been into his place of business a little while, had taken his spectacles, as Mr. Speice had used them just before and could not find them just after he was in, but he afterwards, on Monday afternoon, found them on a shelf, where he remembered placing them, so soon as he saw them again. We all know that Mr. Speice would wrongfully harm no one, and he is mortified to think that he wrongfully accused an innocent person. The charging of 10 cents as an ad mission fee to graduating exercises (as is being ordered by some of the school boards of the state), is not popular with the public. The only reasons we notice are that this method practically shuts out a host of young childrea and redu ces the audience to the capacity of the halL Better, a good deal, suffer many inconveniences than to shut out the youngsters. The fact is that if there is to be a shutting-out process, let it ope rate against the aged instead of the young. The dailies of Thursday contained a telegram from Lead, South Dakota, an nouncing that the Hulst & Price lumber company had assigned to F. G. Rugg of Rapid. Theirs is the largest lumber company in the Hills, having yards in Lead, Deadwood, Rapid, Hot Springs and Edgemont. The assignment was a great surprise as the firm have always been conservative and successful. The assets are thought at this time to far exceed the liabilities. The business is running. Both members of the firm were former citizens of Columbus. One mile north of Milford, Sunday night, F. B. Jeffries, engineer on a B. & M. freight train, when turning a sharp curve, saw seventy feet ahead, on a cul vert bridge, three horses, but it being too late to back or stop he was com pelled to face the music, and the animals were ground into pieces, the train pul ling through. It was a dark night and half-past ten. Mr. Jeffries says that as western railroads have not yet found a way of looking around a sharp curve in the dark, farmers should be very careful about their stock getting on the track. There were thirteen cars in the train. It may be added that in emergencies of this kind it requires quick comprehen sion to know what is best to do, and then steady and wonderful nerve to face the danger, take the responsibility and risk the consequences. These are the men who make heroes. A leap year party was given at the home of Miss Lois Early Friday evening. May 15. Dancing and cards were the amusement of the evening and dainty refreshments were served at a late hour. It was not until the small hours that the girls took their escorts home, following were present: The Misses Mamie Glnck, Jessie Swartsley, Anna. Murphy, Seward, Maud Hatfield. Pohn Houtson.

Jennings at Fitzgerald, Ga., says that they arrived there on Wednesday after leaving Co lumbus, making close connections all the way through. There has been a great change in the colony since he left there. He has changed his allotment to 40 acres. All the colonists that have their land now will have a chance to put in some crops for winter use, as they plant their sweet and Irish potatoes in August. Oats (the earliest) are ready to cut; corn has commenced to tassel, and they have been having all kinds of garden truck" for some time. Mulber ries are ripe, and blackberries beginning to ripen. They have had it as hot as 92 and that but one day, along in the 80's is about what it is generally. It has been what the natives call dry, but Nebraska and Kansas people there don't look on it that way. The Columbus and St Edward colonists at Fitzgerald are all welL H. J. Hendryx of the vicinity of Monroe was in the city Saturday. He says that practically about eight miles of the Great Eastern irrigating canal are completed, there being only two gaps between the Beaver and Oconee on the Kennedy and on the Miller farm. There are six of the large graders at work turning over about a thousand yards a day, besides which there are twenty- five to thirty teams and scrapers. Mr. Hendryx paints a glowing picture of the country between Columbus and Genoa, after irrigation shows what our soil can really do under the most favorable cir cumstances. Under irrigation, the farms in the valley will be very much smaller; there will be orchards of apples, cherriee, plums and even peaches; there will be abundance of strawberries, rasp berries and other small fruit, besides vegetables, all in such quantities as only irrigation can produce. He has had some experience with irrigation in a comparatively small way and has raised as high as 400 bushels to the acre of potatoes; 1000 bushels to the acre of onions and other things in proportion. He thinks that'at least 45 bushels to the acre of wheat can be raised. Alfalfa fields form a considerable portion of the picture he paints, and he would have the business men of Columbus wake up to what is going on, and forecast what a town they may have here with all thin rich prairie cut up into gardens, or chards and fertile fields, and the valley inhabited by ten times the number of people as now, and producing thousands upon thousands of dollars' worth of sur plus commodities. If all were like minded with Mr. Hendryx the ditch would be a certainty in a very abort MEMORIAL DAY. EXERCISES UNDER AUSPICES OF KER POST No. 9, G. A. R. BA- Te he Hal at the Open aOtfc.1!

Mathias Koenig, Spencer Campbell, J. V. Stevenson, A. J. Whitaker. May 11, at Battle Creek, Michigan, Lores Clark" departed this life. He had been ailing for a long time, vainly seek ing health by a change of location and of treatment. Mr. Clark was born in Birkshire, V.. September 8, 1830, moved afterwards with his parents to Wiscon sin, in 1859 went to Colorado, and in 1S72 to Albion, this state, where be had made his residence ever since. In the early days of Boone county he practiced law and dealt in real estate. In 1872 he was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Rice of this city. Twice he was elected repre sentative of Boone county in 1874 and in 187G. In 1S79 he accepted an ap pointment in the revenue service. In 1884 he was a candidate for state treas urer, and was a delegate from the Third congressional district to the national republican convention at Minneapolis in 1888. Mr. Clark has always taken a lively interest m the business welfare of his town, county and state, and they will all feel the loss of an able, wide awake citizen. "Three years ago," says the Albion Argus. "Mr. Clark was strick en with cancer of the stomach. His funeral and burial was held Wednesday afternoon at Battle Creek, Mich., the condition of his body being such it was thought best not to ship him back to Albion, but sometime in the future, in all probability, his remains will be laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery, where loving hearts and hands can watch over his last resting place." Wm. Gerhold was in the city Mon day. He is considerable of a historian, likewise a politician in a general way. He believes that the conflict between the common people of all classes and all lines of business, on the one hand, and the gigantic syndicates, corporations and trusts, on the other hand, must end only in bloodshed, as the sources of po litical power are tampered with in every conceivable way to thwart the will of the people. Mr. Gerhold was referring Monday to a dismal prophecy by the historian, Macauley, in regard to our popular system of government, after the fertile lands are pretty thickly settled and the classes begin to clash against each other at close range. Gerhold in his boyhood helped drive cattle to mar ket at Philadelphia and Boston, from the Sciota valley. The farmer made some money feeding his cattle at home; the farmers along the route where the droves stopped, made some money; the dealer who purchased the cattle had a profit, and it was straight business right through. But now, he says, you go to South Omaha with your cattle, and stand humbly, hat in hand, before the combined outfit, not able to do anything except take what they are pleased to give you they dictate the prices of the cattle, hogs and sheep coming in, and of the dressed meat going out, so that, with the railroads and other corporations, they are getting pretty much all the profit there is in stock raising. Every day is adding to our list of subscribers, but there is yet plenty ol room for more. We give you now, The Jocksax, and the Lincoln Semi-weekly Journal, both, one year, when paid in advance, for S2.00. Subscription can begin at any time. Now is the time to subscribe.

Mrs. Walker returned to Denver the first of the week and Mrs. P. W. Hen rich remains during the week. Miss Emma Lawrence of Platte Cen ter, after visiting A. P. Riel's folks in this city, went to C. S. Easton's for a visit. Wm. Eimers, who had been spending some time at his Nebraska home m Humphrey, passed through the city Tuesday of last week to his California home. Mrs. C. H. Walker of Denver arrived in the city Friday on her way from Chi cago, where she had been in attendance as a delegate from Colorado to the Sil ver anniversary of Missions. She is vis iting Sup't Williams' family. City Coanril. At the meeting Friday evening all were present. The petitions in regard to the opening of street crossings on K, M and P, (Ne braska Avenue) streets were referred to City Attorney Hensley for his written opinion. There seems to be a determined, con certed effort to remove obstructions from these streets, or know the reason why it cannot be done, and find Just where the responsibility lies for the present situation of affairs. The bond of Walter W. Whitaker as street sprinkler was accepted and the mayor authorized to sign the contract on behalf of the city S775 a year. The same action as to A. Luth, sprink ling by the day.

Gray to fur nish rooms above the hardware store, for council chamber and firemen's hall, on a three years' lease for 3150 a year, seemed to meet the approval of nearly all members of the council, and the matter was referred to the committee in charge to make arrangements. The bond of John Burrell, city engi neer, $2,000, with Charles Wurdeman, J. L. Sturgeon and W.T. Allen as sureties, was approved. When the bond of Carl Schubert as water commissioner came up for con sideration, there was a question raised as to his eligibility to appointment be cause of not being freeholder. The mayor said he had spoken to the city attorney, who said it wasn't necessary to make another appointment. Galley re marked that it would seem if an ap pointment was not legal when it was made, that there would be doubt about proceeding further. The confirmation was reconsidered, Schubert appointed again and the appointment confirmed. He bad in the meantime become a free holder. The attorney was directed to draft an ordinance in regard to fire-escapes. The bill of Thompson Meter Co. for repair of TJ. P. meter was rejected, be cause there had been a guarantee.

BECHER, JMI & CO., Farm Loans, Real Estate And Insurance.. COLUMBUS, Howells Journal: Joseph Bogner had specimens of alfalfa at the post office yesterday that was at least fifteen inches high. He has about two acres that is that large and will do to cut for hay be fore long. Mr. Bogner has sown a bushel and 4 half of the seed again this year and it is expected that he will have the latter sown piece of alfalfa furnish as much feed next year as the one that is growing so finely this year. Central City Nonpareil: Eleven tramps that were in the city Monday afternoon and Tuesday forenoon bought twenty nine gallons of beer, a gallon at a time, or an average of more than two gallons and a half each. Probably these same tramps were begging something to eat from our citizens. It is such conduct as this that makes people refuse to furnish the hungry with something to eat.

Medi cal aid was sought and the boy is getting along nicely. Ulysses Dispatch: The cause of the cave-in of ground on the Jacob Way farm two miles north of Surprise, says the Herald, still remains a mystery. In talking with Everett Way, son of Jacob Way, who is assisting his father in try ing to discover the cause for this pecu liar hole in the ground, he says that his father and himself have gone down fif teen feet, that the earth is still loose and they can push a spade down out of sight. The general opinion is that a meteor fell at this spot and buried itself in the ground. It must have been a large one as the loose ground is four or five feet in diameter, end at the known depth of twenty feet no signs of the meteoric stone appear. Mr. Way and son are determined to continue their efforts to discover if possible the cause of this strange phenomenon. If it is a meteoric stone that has produced this hole, it must undoubtedly be a large one, and no doubt will prove a valuable find. Real Etate 1raa4rr.
