Some of our older readers will re
member Hub Pepper, formerly of Batler
county. The David City Newa says:
"Hub Pepper came in from Colorado

lively out there. Hub ia rejoicing over
the tact that the precinct in which he
lives at Manitou gave thirty-one major
ity for McKinley. The republicans of
the precinct had a large banner costing
them $27 painted, with all their names
noon it which will be sent to McKinley.
He says men talked politics ont there

Last Wednesday's Lincoln Journal
had the following: "State Engineer
Akers will go to Columbus today to hear
testimony in the case of the Great East
ern Canal company. This company has
planned to turn their ditch into Shell
creek in Platte county and use the creek
for a ditch for a distance of about twenty
miles, extending into Colfax county. The
irrigation law provides for the use of
natural streams in this wsy, but settlers
living along the creek have filed a pro
test on the ground that the increased
flow of water in the creek is spt to drown
them out,"
Every rightful occupation has its
just compensation to the industrious
worker in the shape of well-earned
money; it has also its own peculiar ser
vice of welfare to the community; but
beyond both these it exerts a reactive
influence for good upon the life and
character of every faithful toiler. It
has the power of developing every fac
ulty of the mind, every fine-moral quali
ty. Energy, courage, fortitude, patience,
perseverance, calmness, disinteredness,
magnanimity, fidelity, may all be un
folded, expanded and strengthened
through onr daily ordinary labor. Ex.
The following from the Schuyler
Herald will be of interest to onr readers
who are acquainted with the young
woman mentioned or with the wrong
perpetrated against her in a strange land:
"Etta Mueller, commonly known to
the public as Emma Miller, whose unfor
tunate condition made her a guest of the
county, growing out of her acquaintance
with an old reprobate, Bernard Zitting,
her uncle, was provided by the county
commissioners with transportation to her
home in Germany, and started for her
destination Tuesday afternoon. This
ends a chapter in an unfortunate life.
This case cost the county about five
hundred dollars. As Miss Mueller
resided in Platte county at the time she
was taken sick, it is believed that Platte
county will bear part of this expense."
Rev. A. J.Canfield, one of Chicago's
most popular preachers, and of the fash
ionable St. Paul's Universalist chnrch,
is converting it into a poor man's tem
ple. He advertises on billboards in the
poorer parts of the city, that everybody
is welcomed at St. Paul's. It is said
that the church is always crowded with
the poorest as well as the most fashion
able people of the city. It is the object
of the preacher and his assistants to feed
the hungry, clothe the naked, console
the sorrowful, lift the burden of isola
tion from every man and bring him into
universal brotherhood. So runs the ac
count of Rev. Canfield's work, and it is
certainly in the line marked out by the
Founder of Christianity.
The telephone is a good thing, and
wo all appreciate its benefits, but this
fact should not give a telephone corpora
tion license to desecrate the public high
ways without properly paying the people
for the use of the roads. We believe the
legislature should fix by law the charges
which can be collected by a telephone
company, and that such a corporation
should bo made pay a rental for the use
of the pnblic highways, which are often
obstructed by poles being placed in such
position as to render impossible a proper
grading of the roads. We would not
favor any radical legislation against the
telephone companies. All we ask is that
they be compelled by law to do the fair
thing by the public Papillion Times.
The worst calamity that has ever
happened in Polk county for some time
was the recent burning of the Osceola
creamery. It was at noon and there
were but two of the employes in the
building. It is said that the fire caught
from the smoke stack, cinders from it
dropping on the roof. All that was
saved was the engine house, engine and
some butter and egga The plant was
worth $10,000, and there was an insur
ance on the building and machinery of
$3,000. It will be a great loss to merch
ants and employee, for there was paid
out in the town and county $150 a day,
and a great many of the farmers say they
don't know what they would have done
to live were it not for their check for
cream that came in the middle of every
month. Besides, it throws out of em
ployment quite a number of people living
in Osceola. Word has been received
from Congressman Hainer that the
creamery will be rebuilt, and work will
be begun on it soon.
One night last week, while the craze
for hunting rabbits was at its height,
says the Howells Journal, a couple of
men in town put up a job on some of our
sportsmen. There are many rabbits that
for safe retreats go to the lumber yards
and some of our noted hunters find it
much easier to go there on moonlit
nights and shoot rather than to walkout
in the day to find them, as the rabbits
come out of their hiding places at night
for food. The two men that put up the
job secured a cast iron rabbit at the
hardware store and pieced it in plain
sight. Then they went up town and told
the hunters of the rabbits to be found
there in the yards. After several had
tried their gun on the iron rabbit, the
laugh was turned on the jokers by a
couple of sportsmen carrying away the
rabbit. The rabbit has a value in cold
cash and probably if it ia not turned'
over someone will pay it. Bnt it was
lots of fun for the boys and they were
amply repaid by the disgust and chagrin
expressed by the hunters who tried to
kill a cast iron rabbit. It is reported
that onr vigilant night watch tried to
kill the rabbit with his club, bnt that
can hardly be possible. The one that
carried off the rabbit claims to have
it I
DASTARDLY DEED.
ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER
NEAR SILVER CREEK SUNDAY
EVENING LAST.
Decelerate Nefeaker Beys Sheet aa Age
Mas, Attack his Wife aai Beh Their
From Judge Hudson who returned
from Silver Creek Monday we learn the
following:
On Sunday night about 7 o'clock, two
young men, named Scheinfelt, 17 and 15
years of age, went to the farm house of
Owen Hutohings, about one mile north
east of Silver Creek, and attempted to
murder Owen Hntchtnga and his wife
Emma.
Mr.-Hutohings waa around the barn
doing his chores, and when he sat down
to milk his cows, the oldest brother Otto
discharged a loaded shotgun from the
loft, the contents lodging in the back of
Hutching' head, at the base of the
brain. He remained unconscious for
two or three hours.
From their subsequent conduct, it
would seem the boys thought Owen
Hntchings was killed. They went to
the house and asked Mrs. Hutohings if
they might come in and get warmed.
While sitting in front of the stove
Mrs. Hutohings' suspicions became
aroused by their talk and actions, when
she observed one of them had a revol
ver in his hands. She seized it and got
possession of it, when one of them struck
two or three blows at her. Finding her
plucky and determined, they went out
on the porch to get their gun, when she
closed the door, locking it, and taking
her two children up stairs and locking
the doors after her.
The villians then broke out a window
and with a crowbar tried to break open
one of the inner doors, through which
they knew she had passed. She heard
them say, with a horrid oath, "she has
got away from us." She became satis
fied it was their intention to kill her.
They ransacked the lower part of the
house, taking about twenty dollars.
The two men were arrested at their
home about two miles from the farm of
Owen Hntchings, and are now in jail at
Silver Creek.
We learn in addition that the older
boy worked for Mr. Hntchings about a
year ago, and was then thought to be sn
honorable and harmless boy; no trouble
or disagreement between the two fam
ilies could have been alleged as reason
for the attack, because there had been
none, robbery alone evidently being the
object Neither of the boys is credited
with much intellect.
At last accounts the physician in
charge thought Mr. Hntchings could
live but a short time as his body was
seemingly paralyzed.
From the Humphrey Democrat we
learn that the bate Cornelius D. Murphy
(whose death on November 20 was men
tioned in last week's Jocrkal), was born
in the upper peninsula of Michigan, in
the little town of Copper Harbor, Feb
ruary 26, 1856; removed at an early age
with his parents to Central Mine, where
he attended school until he was sixteen
years old. His business career began
at the age of seventeen with a clerkship
in a general store at Atlantic Mine. In
I878-9, he attended the Detroit Busi
ness College. In the spring of 83 he
came to Humphrey, and afterward en
tered into partnership with Thomas
Ottis and son T. K. in the general mer
chandise and banking business. Later,
the merchandise was disposed of and
the banking business continued by him
self and T. K. Ottis. His last illness
was the culmination of an attack of la
grippe in April, 1895, when he was con
fined to bis bed for two weeks. He re
covered partially and returned to busi
ness, but soon suffered a relapse. As
soon as able to leave his home he sought
renewed health and vigor at the Hot
Springs, S. D., and in ranch life in
Wyoming. He returned home in Oc
tober, apparently much improved, but
suffered another acute attack, and it
was with no little difficulty that he
was removed to a warmer climate. He
spent the winter in Tucson, Arizona,
in company with his sister, Miss Nora,
and his uncle, Mr. D. M. O'Sullivan.
For a time he seemed to take a new
grasp on life, but after his home com
ing in May he failed gradually, and it
soon became evident to himself and to
his friends that the sands of his life
were nearly run. Besides his loving
wife and little son Cyril Eugene, aged 3
years 8 months, he is survived by bis
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Murphy,
of Ypsilanti, Michigan, and two sisters,
one of whom, Miss Nora, has been his
constant companion and a devoted and
untiring nurse during his entire illness.
The funeral was held at 10 o'clock Mon
day at St Francis church, where a large
concourse of sorrowing friends joined
the family and relatives in doing the last
homage to the dead. Solemn requiem
mass was celebrated, Rev. Father An
gelus officiating, assisted by Rev. Fathers
Edmond and Rambert After this cer
emony Rev. Father Angelas gave a short
ealogy on the life of the deceased, and
the casket, laden with floral tributes,
was borne to the cemetery and all
therein contained consigned to mother
earth.
Dun's Review says that wheat has
risen over 6 cts. for the week, without
material' change in foreign advices,
which have been on the whole less stim
ulating. Western receipts are falling
behind last year's, and for four weeks
past have been only 19,0128t bushels
against 27,902,512 last year, while the
Atlantic exports, flour included, have
been 6270,981 bushels in the same week
against 665,018 last year, and are not
large enough to create excitement But
13 cargoes have left Tacoma in 'Novem
ber, and 30 have left San Francisco,
with 12 more loading and 40 engaged.
The milling demand in the Atlantic
States is also large, and at four Western
cities the output of flonr in five weeks
has been 2,65315 barrels against 2,613,
300 in the same weeks last year. Corn
has sympathized with wheat only a
little and is coming forward freely. The
most important factor in the wheat
market is that the visible supplies do
not gain aa much as has been expected.

Gbitfzn Saturday, November 28, at
4 o'clock a. m, of heart failure, Miss
Mary R, eldest daughter of Mr.-and
Mrs. Patrick & Griffen, aged about
twenty-foar years.
The deceased was one of the trusted
teachers of the Columbus school district,
having taught acceptably the suburban
school for a number of months. She
made a brave struggle for life, but finally
submitted to the inevitable, and breath
ed her last without apparent struggle or
pain, Saturday morning. She taught
several days last week, bnt on Wednes
day asked the school board to provide a
substitute teacher for a month. Her
life, though comparatively brief, was yet
a life full of usefulness, and animated
by the spirit of love and truth. It was
a noble struggle, and heroically did she
sustain herself. To the father and
mother and other members of the family,
the stroke is very severe, as she was a
most loving daughter and an affection
ate sister.

respect, the sohool board attending in a
body, accompanied by Sup't Williams.
The remains were laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery.
SesMl Board.
A special meeting of the school board
was held Friday afternoon last at the
office of L Gluck at 4 o'clock, President
Galley in the chair and all members and
Sup't Williams present
The president stated the object of the
meeting to be the consideration of a
proposition in regard to music text
books; the employment of a substitute
teacher on the application of Miss
Griffen of the suburban school for a
substitute teacher for a month begin
ning November 30, and for any other
business properly coming before the
board.
Sup't Williams then made a statement
in detail in regard to the exchange of
old music instruction books and charts
for new ones, presenting the views of the
Music Director, Mrs. Page, and the rea
sons for the change, setting forth the
desirability of the exchange, among
others that the books on hand had been
in use more man nve years, tnat many
new books would have to be purchased,
even if the present series was retained,
necessitating quite an outlay; that most
of the songs were so familiar to the ear
of the pupils that it interfered with the
proper learning and mastering of a song
from the beginning; that a series pro
viding for oniform advancement in the
theory and art of music was essential to
right improvement.
As a result of the consideration of the
proposition the board by a unanimous
vote, authorized the superintendent to
place an order for $80Worth of books
and charts at the prices specified, the
same to be liquidated by a school war
rant payable on or before two years
after date.
There were two applicants for posi
tions as substitute teacher, Jessie B.
Becher, a graduate of our High school
and of the State university, holding the
degrees of B. S. and M. A., and of two
years experience as teacher. The other
applicant, but only for the position nn
der consideration, was Frances Turner,
a graduate of the Columbus High school.
On motion of Lehman, seconded by
Turner, the board proceeded to ballot,
Turner asking to be excused from
voting. Becher was elected by a vote
of four to one.
The janitor of the Third ward build
ing was directed to fumigate the build
ing on Saturday.
A bill of Speice k Co. for coal, amount
