Shadeland Onward, the famous trot
ting horse, owned by Gould k Miller of
Fullerton, died at Marengo, Iowa, last
week. The Fullerton News says that
the animal was valued at $20,000 and
was insured for $5,000, and that no ad
vertisement the town has ever had has
been bo great as that given by "Shade
land Onward.'' Bell Acton, one of his

John Freeman has left with us copies
of the Galveston News and the Galves
ton Tribune, both of them able represen
tatives of the interests of the great
South. Galveston, during the year 1896,
has done wonders for herself, for Texas,
and, we can fondly hope, for all this
western country, in "the shipping of her
bar." The dredgeboat Comstock during
the year took out 715305 oubic yards of
sand. Three months more, and the im
mense jetties will be finished. Six regu
lar lines of steamers have been put on
between Galveston and -foreign ports.
Foreign exports for the last 'four months
of 1896 were $3800,705. Columbus is
deeply interested in Galveston. -?
Mason Basil has left with us a finely
cured specimen of alfalfa grown on his
lots in this dty, two lots, 132 feet square,
producing one good ton of hay cured in
July, and maturing a crop of seed, which
was left standing on the ground. The
seed was sown the last week in April
last at the rate of a bushel to the acre.
The plat was not pastured. He thinks
that the best method of curing alfalfa is
to cut it in the morning, let it lay in
winrow a very short time, then put it in
cocks, afterwards combining into larger
ones, and hauling into the barn as soon
as out of the sweat There is "scarcely
an eighty in the country bnt what there
would be an acre or so that is finely
adapted to alfalfa.
Koenigstein's drug store at Norfolk
was practically destroyed by fire on
Monday night of last week the origin a
complete mystery. The News compli
ments the fire department in the highest
terms of praise for their prompt and
efficient work during the severe storm,
in saving thousands of dollars worth of
property from destruction. Incidentally
it remarks that the force applied to the
water was so strong as to require four
and six men to handle a nozzle, and then
they were awayed back and forth by the
hose. The claim of the News is that the
ordinary pressure furnished by the Nor
folk works is 100 pounds to the square
inch, while Omaha and other towns get
only 40 to 70. Why is that?
Among the latest announcements in
the way of inventions is a milking
machine, operating like hand-milking,
taking the four udders at once, at the
rate of ninety squeezes a minute. The
milk is conveyed to a pail without com
ing in contact with the air. Two persons
can readily operate ten machines. A
companion invention is a butter maker
which takes the fresh milk from the cow,
separates the cream and makes the but
ter come in about a minute after the
milk has been sterilized by heat The
butter will keep for a longer time. Both
machines come from Sweden. If they
are really what they purport to be, and
do not cost too much, they are just what
this portion of Uncle Sam's domain needs.
Secretary W. B. Akers of the state
board of irrigation has dismissed the
protest of receivers of the Union Pacific
Bailway company against the allowance
of the application of H. E. Babooek on
behalf of the Nebraska Central Irriga
tion company. The applicant sought to
w the bed of Shell creek in this and
Colfax counties for carrying water ap
propriated from the Loup, and divert it
from the creek by means of a dam. The
U. P. representatives claimed that the
proposed dam would cause water to
overflow the valley and thus damage
their tracks and right of way. The sec
retary says he cannot pass upon the
need of irrigation, but in his opinion a
dam can be maintained, and as to the
question of damages, that ought to go
to the courts.

One who knew him intimately for
thirty-five years, says that he never knew
of a wrong thing done by him, and this
can 'readily be believed by all who
enjoyed his acquaintance.
In the limit of his sphere, he filled the
measure of a useful life, and gave to the
world, the best legacy a departing spirit
can bestow, the example of an earthly
life devoted to the lore of home, friends
and country; just and fair in all his
dealings, a righteous man.

The Albion Blade approvingly quotes
The Journal's artideon bad habits in
general and how to get rid of them, and
the cigarette habit in particular, and
adds that "perhaps nowhere is this ter
rible evil more marked than in Albion.
The malignant growth of the cigarette
habit among little boys has been a
source of constant pain." The main
thing with young people, we think, is to
get a fair start, and, boys, don't be dis
couraged. If you honestly mean to do
right, keep that intention and don't let
go of it A good piece of wholesome
advice told with the reason why, stayed
by the writer through a twelve years'
struggle against the tobacco habit, with
varying successes and failures, until a
final victory resulted against the habit
The ordinary' house takes a considera
ble time in the building and can be torn
down ia a short time, bnt the house of
"bad habit" is very easy to erect, but
very difficult to tear town. If you start
to travel on a straight line from here to
New York city, and begin the journey
by deflecting one degree from the true
direction and keep in that line, you will
never get there at all. So with a habit
If you know you are going the wrong
way, the very first thing to do is, to get
right and then go right It can be done
against the cigarette habit, the liquor
habit, the opium habit the chloral habit
or any other bad habit or practice.
"Where there is a will there is a way,"
and where there is n longing to do bet
ter, there is a will to accompany the
longing. Remember that order is Heav
en's first law, and we can only rule our
own spirits by conforming our wills to
the rule of right thinking and right
conduct
If man is not plaoed here on earth,
in the midst of trials, troubles, tempta
tions, sickness, pain and death, to test
the spirit which animates him and to
further bis progress as a spiritual being,
we fail to see why he is here at all. It
does us good toreoordadeed that recog
nizee the call to mercy. The following
is from the Clark's Leader: "Mrs.
Montgomery, and three children, reached
town Saturday night, on their way, in a
mover's wsgon, from Iowa to Lexington,
this state, where they have relatives.
They were without money. Mrs. Mont
gomery was ill too ill to move, in fact
The team was unhitched behind West's
livery barn, and the storm came on that
night That poor woman and her chil
dren staid in the wagen, cold and stormy
as it was, and she almost dying, till late
the next morning, when they were dis
covered by Mr. Dibble, and he and oth
ers brought them into West's hotel.
Monday night a paper was drculated,
and .the darks people showed their gen
erosity by subscribing more than enough
to take the woman and two of her chil
dren to their destination on the train.
The oldest boy is to follow with the team
and wagon."
A farmer near Sibley, Iowa, succeed
ed in saving 250 bogs by a systematic
use of aconite, and he believes it the
only sure preventive of the disease
that is killing off the hogs, as be tried
nearly everything else. The diocaso is
not cholera, he chums, but a kind of
fever which kills the hogs if not stopped,
and is easily communicated from one
hog to another. He uses a quart of
aconite every five days for 250 hogs,
mixing the stuff with a little water, then
sprinkling over about ten bushels of
oats'spread out and shoreuag them over,
then puts the oats in troughs so each
hog caa get some. He thinks this n sure
preventive and n good, sure cure.

The oaramoaisa ware commenced by

H.Jeakias turned the camp aaauaaad
over to Iaatal lfcaf Ossaar B. B. KsUogg
of Bellwood, who proceeded at ones to
install the osaoere who had been duly
sleeted for the year 1897.
Aaaoag all the oafesrs who were given
the oath by Brother Kellogg none seem
ed to bear the honors more seready,
aoaa had a brighter smile than that
which ratted apoa the face of Capteia
aleot, J. B. Tsahady, whose looks aad
actions are proofs that the camp's wd
f are for the next year will be looked
after in aa able maaaer. At the con
clusion of the installing ceremonies of
the 8. of Vs a prompt adjournment waa
taken ia order to give the G. A. B. mem
bers a chaace to show the boys how
installation should be done ia apple pie
order. OoBuade&L.BoaMterhsdbeea
duly elected aa iastaHisg omoer for

Owing to aiekaass aad other causes
there waa a assail aambar of post mem
bers present However, Commander J.
H. Galley and Senior Vioe, Rector, were
daly installed when preparatioea were
aiade for supper. Everybody had
brought of the good things to eat and in
abundance. A large boiler of coffee had
been prepared ia the ante room which
was up to regulations and would easily
pass muster in say such gathering from
California to Maine. Next came the
bugle call for beans, beans, good baked
beans. We had them. Sandwiches,
pickles, pies, cakes, eta, and after all
had eaten a number of baskets were
filled to send to those members who
were unable to attend. Supper over,
martid masio was aext in order which
aoon worked some of the post members
into a fading which prompted them to
go through the manud of arms. While
the boys were playing a piece Comrade
Rossiter picked up a frying pan which
looked aa though it might have seen
service in 1812; he stopped up to the
drum corps and raised the skillet ss
though to strike. A fierce look (by the
way I think he has picked this up at
Lincoln) came over his face, but the
band played on. The boys are onto
Dick.
It waa about 11 o'clock before the
company broke up and prepared to leave
for their homes. Quito a number of
boys were over from Bellwood and all
expressed themsdves as having had a
pleasant time, and Idt an invitation for
the members here to attend a camp-fire
to be held at Bdlwood Camp No. 10.
