J. L. Thayer, a recent resident of

The western Nebraska fair, to be

big fair in the state every year, and that
ought to be a fair worthy the greatness
of the state, and it ought to be held, as

George Henggler tells us that he
has seen quite a number of patches of
thistles, which some call the Canada
thistles. They are so full of thorns that
cattle can't touch them, and where they
are let go to seed, they become a great
nuisance to a neighborhood. He found
some on his own farm after his atten
tion was called to it, and destroyed
them by digging them out deep with the
corner of a spade. He suggests that
where they have assumed possession of
acre tracts of land, the mower be run
over them before they go to seed, and
then repeat the dose twice during the
season. He has not noticed any spread
of the pest into hay lands, but has seen
them only in the pastures, and concludes
that the tramping of the soil by the
cattle must be favorable to the growth
of the seed.
The State Journal says the follow
ing in regard to a Nebraska lady. "The

Miss Letta Horlocker, are now of New

Montague Marks, 23 Union Square, N.Y.
Joseph Frevert brought into The
Journal office Thursday a scroll, which,
when unrolled, measured 276 inches in
length, by 18 in width. On it was
drawn, with very considerable skill, a
pen and ink, and crayon sketch of the
Union Pacific Fast Mail train No. 2,
consisting of engine, tender and nine
coaches. The artist is a Fremont boy,
named Chris. Peterson, 16 years old, who
has taken a few drawing lessons. He
will undoubtedly make his mark as an
artist, as this large picture not only
evidences his skill, but also his perse
verance, in the use of it, which, after all,
is at least half the battle. A pretty good
story is told briefly, thus: A boy says,
"Father, I would rather chop down
trees in the woods with you than go to
school and study my arithmetic and
grammar." The father replies: "John,
how was it we got those trees down the
other day?" "Why, one stroke at a
time and just keeping at it" said John.
"Just so," the father told him, "one
letter at a time, and the syllable is
formed; one syllable at a time and the
word; one word at a time and the sen
tence; one sentence at a time, and the
book; one problem at a time, and keep
ing at it is all there is of education."
This way of looking at it was new to
John, bat it is the proper view.
Last Friday afternoon this vicinity
was visited by the worst storm we have
had this year, or perhaps for many years.
Bain began to fall about 1 o'clock and
by 2 great torrents were coming down
with such force that it was almost im
possible to see one block away, and gave
the appearance of a Nebraska blizzard.
About 2 o'clock hail stones fell for some
fifteen minutes and with smch" force and
rapidity that muoh damage waa done to
growing crops, fruit and other trees, be-
sides breaking hundreds of panes of
window glass.
The storm as it struck Columbus,
came from the southeast and just east
of the oity and also west, between us
and Duncan, the wind came from the
northwest At Msyes farm, two miles
east of town, the barn of Ernest Mayes
was twisted by the wind into kindling
wood and the residence waa moved
from its foundation.
The east-bound mail train was com
pelled to stop on this side of Duncan
and wait for the wind to subside and
most of the window lights on the north
side of the train were broken out by
the hail.
Out on Shell Creek the wind and hail
did considerable damage; F. Seefeld
living near the mill says the rye is
damaged considerably and the com was
knocked down but will not be serious.
On the bluffs just north of town the
hail was very light
A party of girls were on a fishing ex
cursion at Smith's mill on Shell Creek
and when the storm came up three of
the youbg" ladies were almost carried
into the creek. Miss Ruby Bickly saved
herself by holding onto a barb wire
fence; Miss Ellis fainted away under
the excitement and Miss Helen Jerome
was just saved by her brother reaching
her. The storm was almost a cyclone.
Among those who had window lights
broken are the following: Perry Losh
baugh, Ernest Dussell, Con. Hewitt, C.
A. Lindstrum, Mrs. Sheehan, Mr. Hein
aman, Presbyterian church, M. Weaver,
John Geisen, Bucher livery barn nearly
all the south windows, Schroeder's mill,
a great many lights broken; the sehool
bnildings in the three wards had about
seventy lights broken.
STORM NOTES.
It was a young cyclone at Lusche's
place on the bluffs.
At Albert Stenger's everything in the
way of crops was knocked' down.
One hundred and fifty dollars worth
of glass was knocked out at Marmoy &
Simmons' green house.
Bud Newman thought to go to the
cellar for safety, but found when he got
onto the stairs, that there was four feet
depth of water, and chanced the wind.
At Peter Smith's mill on Shell Creek,
there was quite a marked rise in the
water, bringing down on the flood all
manners of products, among other
things, a large oak tree and a large, dead
Hereford bull.
We interviewed John Tannahill
Saturday and in brief he tells the story
of the storm at his place on the east
edge of the city. The wind was from
all directions lights being broken out
on the south, on the north, and the big
gest hailstones coming at the last, as
big as door knobs and about the shape,
from the east. There were 1,000 lights
of glass broken in his green house.
Early apples an inch through were
knocked off the trees; cherries were
bruised the crop of fruit virtually de
stroyed; same with apricots; worse still,
the trees were in some instances very
badly damaged by the storm; of veg
etables, he will have nothing, until he
plant8 again. He had corn tasseling
out, getting ready to supply his cus
tomers with early roasting ears, but the
hail knocked it all. He never saw the
plowed ground packed so solid. After
the storm, for distances around he could
see hail making the landscape as white
as snow; at his place the hail was four
inches deep. His neighbor, Jacob
Lewis, thought the destruction was
great at his place, but he acknowledged
when he saw Tannahill's, that be had it
worse yet
School Board.
At the meeting of the school board
Wednesday at 2 o'clock, the monthly re
port of the superintendent was read and

Black clouds rolled by wind, and
stretching from the southeast 'to the
west point of the compass frightened a
good many people Satarday evening
about six o'clock and developed in a few
minutes into quite a storm of wind and
rain. It caagkt a number of people
away from home, and some of them, in
the effort to reach their usual place of
rendezvous, got thoroughly soaked.
There was but little hail with the rain
and no special damage anywhere near
here by the water except what was
added to the volume already supplied
by previous rains.
At Cedar Rapids the water rose ten
feet in two hours.
At Fullerton all the tracks in the
yards were washed out and the depot
was swung around across the main
track.
The Monroe wagon bridge went out
The creek at Barnum's, south of the
city, raised eight feet; the approaches
to the bridge were both awept away, and
in the road between the Loup and the
Platte bridges there are holes ten to
twelve feet deep, making it unsafe driv
ing in the dark.
The ovei flow of the Loup from the
heavy rains or cloud bursts in the west,
struck the tracks of the Union Pacific
here west of the coal chutes late Satur
day night, and swept out about two
hundred feet of the filling, but extra
work was done all night, bags of sand
placed where they would do the most
good, and thus considerable damage was
prevented.
Saturday night there was consider
able movement in the southern portion
of the city, (portions of which are more
or less subject to overflow in freshets of
this sort), there being a fear that the
river would be still higher as the night
wore along. Although the fear was jus
tified by reports from the west, they did
not realize, and there was no loss of
human life. Some stock were drowned,
and some gardens in the very lowest
places (where the floods always pour
along in such freshets), were washed
out. Hundreds of people were out Sun
day viewing the results of the freshet.
It was quite an annoying incident to
many families, but, all will be grateful
that the property loss was comparatively
slight, and that there was no loss of
precious human lives.
The chimney at Rightmire's residence,
about 30 feet high, blew over.
About eighty acres of sand was added
to the south side of Albert Stenger's
farm.
The smoke stack at the round house
was blown down. Tom Wilson got into
the fire-box of an engine, and Schroeder
and Bristol into the pit.
George A. Wells, W. Saunders, C.
A. Speice, Charles Wooster and L. Ger
rard, committee, have issued a call re
questing the free silver voters of this
congressional district to meet in this
city June 15, at 2 o'clock for "a full and
free consultation as to the most favora
ble plan to effect our object" a union of
all the free-silver forces for the election
of a congressman from this district.
They request a full attendance at the
conference without regard to former
political affiliations. According to their
figuring, the single gold-standard voters
in the Third district are five to six
thousand in the minority. In counting
noses, however, they lose sight of the
fact that, while there are all shades of
opinion on the silver problem, from the
man who advocates the free and unlim
ited coinage of all the world's product
of silver by the United States mints, at
the ratio of 16 to 1 of gold, without
waiting for any other nation to do the
same, to the man who believes that sil
ver should not be treated as primary
money at all there are a majority of
the voters of the district who feel very
sure that the entirely safe thing to do is
to elect a mau to congress who will rep
resent the views of this district on the
protection and reciprocity line, and
bring the general government under an
administrative control that will issue no
interest-bearing bonds in time of peace.
If the primary money of the country is
to be on a one-metal basis, we believe
that silver alone rather than gold alone,
would more nearly and more fully rep
resent the general interest, but we are
satisfied that the bi-metallists are more
nearly right; time out of mind gold and
silver have been used as primary money
and this double-use has proven a more
stable, Bteady currency, subject to less
fluctuation than any other. The great
body of voters in this district are
grounded in the belief that they will
make no blunder in supporting a good
MoKinley republican in this year 1896.
We need as much gold and silver as we
can buy (for it is a fact that we must
buy money just the same as we buy any
thing else we must have for use) but the
consideration of first importance now is,
in government affairs to see that our
income shall be greater (at the very least
equal to) our expenses, so that there
need be no shadow of excuse for increas
ing our interest-bearing debt by the
issuance of bonds to enrich money syn
dicates and increase the burden of the
people. All indications are that the
common people understand the issues
and that they will make no blunder.
They certainly cannot afford to blunder
now.

We add the following expressions of
opinion to those given in last week's
Journal:
Very expensive to keep it up. Think
more costly than Bteam power. Paul
Hagel.
If we can get water power for Colum
bus, and not cost too much, I say, all
right & good thing to have. Hugh
Hughes.
I am in favor of doing all we can to
have power in connection with the
canal. It will increase the value of
land, make Columbus a much larger
city and increase the volume of busi
ness in proportion. Carl Kramer.
There are no two sides; it admits of no
dispute. We need the water power if it
can be had. W. M. Cornelius.
To develop the immense water power
in the Loup river at Columbus would
mean a city of 15.000 or 20,000 inhabi
tants in the next five or ten years, with
a tin-bucket-brigade to amply keep it
up. J. N. Heater.
Mr. Herrick went to Norfolk last
evening to attend the State Undertakers'
ooavsatioa.

The Columbus militia company
mustered into the service of the great
state of Nebraska on last Wednesday
evening at their armory. Major Fechet
of the regular army called the roll and
made a short speech. Adjutant General
Barry administered the oath to the men
and gave them a short talk. Captain
Kilian introduced Gov. Holcomb who
delivered an appropriate speech. After
the ceremonies a banquet was held at
the Meridian, at which Captain Kilian
presided as toast master, announcing
the following toasts:
Welcome Mayor Speice.

nitaries went to Madison to inspect a
company there.

For 90 Days !
The J. A. Barber &
Co's stock to be closed
out in 90 days, at the
old stand, Thirteenth
street, Columbus. The
greatest opportunity ev
er offered to the people
ol this vicinity to buy
first-class Dry Goods at
less than the price of
trash.
Mr. Barber always
carried a high grade of
goods, much to his own
misfortune, but now
that the stock must be
closed out and we
bought it for about 50c
on the dollar, we are in
a position to sell goods
for about half what oth
er merchants have to
pay for them.
The store opens Wed
nesday, June 10. Come
early for the best al
ways go first.
