fifty dollars. Mr. Dursch sold the cream
to the Stevenson creamery in Platte

as the result of an accident which was
due to neglect on the part of the switch
tender, and also on the part of the rail
road company, for not taking extra pre
cautions in using a switch which waa

tender, testified that if tbe train had not
been ahead of time the accident would
not have occurred. Krause lived about
twenty minutes after he was rescued.

A subscriber asks us "Is it an indi
cation that Columbus is becoming city
fied when we -have so many social and
public gatherings so often, or is it well,
why is it?" We should say we are grow
ing in number and social ideas. Friday
evening the Presbyterians held services
at their church, the Congregationalists
had a parlor sociable at Dr. Goer's, the
Methodists had a "tea" at their church,
the whist club held their regular meet
ing and no doubt there were other
gatherings we did not hear about. Sat
urday evening there were two dances
going on, both having large crowds.
All these places had fairly large crowds
present. In thinking over how many
churches are supported with an average
of at least one hundred members each,
not -including the Catholic, which has
very many more. Then there are a great
many citizens who are not members of
any church, but who attend the different
society events, altogether nuddng suffi
cient number for several events at the
same time.

Humphrey has always been fortunate
as to fires, having had no serious one
that we remember. Two weeks ago Wm.
Bipp's residence was burned down, and
now this one. The appliances for fight
ing the fire were a chemical engine and
buckets. Our information is that the
waterworks will now go forward to com

tbe very good program they furnished.
Bev. Rogers aa pianist. Main a. Boge ,
Paul Hagel, Howard Geer and E. von
Bergen as quartett singe and Paul
Hagel as elocutionist all did themselves
proud. Mr. Hagel deserves special men

first gentlemen elocutionists Colamhus
has had, but beeaaaa be ia a very good
speaker; he rendered three pieces in
response to encores.
Dr. Rioea third article in his aeries

There are many ways of advertising
the central objects being first, to
attract the attention of possible buyers;
second to bold their attention until they
buy. Of course true advertising does
not end here, because the benefit should
very properly be mutual, and, if so, it is
likely to continue, and it is this contin
ued business that is the real object in
view. After the newspaper advertising.
(wnicn reacnes tnousands of readers, and
may be read at the same moment) comes
the attractive show window, to one of
which we are especially moved to direct
your attention. We refer to that of E.
D. Fitzpatrick, at the White Front Dry
Goods Store on Thirteenth street Some
thing in motion always attracts atten
tion, and here it is in several shapes. It
is a mill scene; a reservoir of water turns
the wheel; ducks swim around and
around in the reservoir; railroad trains
appear in eight, and disappear from view
around the bend; miniature trees are
growing in the mill plat, piles of corded
wood here and there add to the realistic
appearance of the surroundings. One
man declared that hie kids were most of
the day Sunday looking at the scene,
and all who pass must neceaaarily cast a
glance. Follow tbe crowd to Fitz's.

A few weeka ago "Broncho Jack,"
the cowboy preacher, held forth in this
city, preaching on the streets and on the
platforms of some of the churches of the
city. A woman,suppoeedtobehiswife,
aaaiated at some of them meetings; also
a cowboy companion. A pet wolf waa
likewise one of the combination that
went from here. Sheriff Kraader of
Dodge county recently received a letter
from p. J. Skinner of Los A"gl , Cali
fornia, stating that the cowboy preacher,
whose real name ie J. J. Mnlcahy, waa in
that city laat July and while there hia
daughter became infatuated with the
preacher, and when he left she went alao,
and has since ben with him. The Fre
mont Tribune specking of tke letter
says: -The preacher, Mr. Skinner says,
haa been coaxinr his dsa-rhtar far-fear
and farther away from home until it is
feared that the last of her has been seen

C. X. Jenkins, steward, sends us a
copy of the fifth biennial report of tbe
superintendent of tbe Norfolk hospital
for the insane. The present superin
tendent is G. F. Keiper. The record for
the two years ending November 30, 1896.
shows the number recovered 129; im
proved 4, unimproved 3; home on parole
6, in a total of 219. In the alleqed
causes or insanity we notice: alcohol 7
(and all males), delusions 4, disappointed
love 3, epilepsy 15, financial reverses 34,
heredity 45. injury to head 6. masturba
tion 22, paresis 6, persecution 6, religion
13, sunstroke 4, typhoid fever 2. The
ages of the male inmates vary from 10 to
75 years, the largest number (21) being
25 to 30 years old, 18 of these being
single. The females are from 10 to 85
years of age, and those between 40 and
45 prevail in number (17) of whom 15
were married. In the total 221, there
were 90 foreign born, 38 of whom were
from Germany, 14 from Sweden, 10 from
Ireland. As to counties, Madison heads
the list with 18; Platte 15: Waahinffton
14. The superintendent asks an appro
priation of $25,000 for additional build
ing. The superintendent remarks that
the "life histories of many of these men
and women have been those of heroes
and heroines, bravely struggling to fight
iue Dames oi ine ior tneir .amines and
homes, succumbing only to cruel and
adverse circumstances beyond their con
trol." As to restraint the doctor says:
"In exceptional cases mild restraint,
carefully supervised, is used, but the
general treatment is nourishing food,
kindness, employment as far as is com
patible with the condition and comfort
of the patient, conjoined with medical
treatment as symptoms indicate. Music,
dancing and reading are adjuncts to this
end. Our weekly dance, with its music
from our excellent orchestra, is one of
especial enjoyment to the patients,
eagerly looked for, participated in with
excellent behavior, and there can be no
doubt of its beneficial results. We vary
the employment as much as we can. It
is not compulsory, but we seek to induce
it by kindness, persuasion, and to the
extent deemed best for the health and
comfort of the patients. The results
have been gratifying and valuable. The
mail patients assist in ward work, laun
dry, kitchen, outside and farm work.
seventy acres of land having been well
cultivated through their efforts in assist
ing oar farmer; the female patients in
ward work, laundry, kitchen, and in
sewing arid mending for the patients,"
Among all those who fall in the battle of
life, there are none who deserve more of
our thoughtful care and very tenderest
regard than those who are insane. There
is hope that the penetrating Renins of
investigation will find the hidden cause
of so much that is wrong, and soon there
after be able to apply the remedy, so
that every one who site in mental dark
ness of whatever degree, may be "clothed
and in his right mind."

to move bar oat into the bay, and aeons

ing aad again loose-tin? the ropes that
are still attached to the steamer. Strict
orders are given in loud tones aad im
plkatry obeyed; great care is taken to
keep her from running against the stoae
walla on either side. Finally she is in
free water, steams away a little distance,
inen stops and tnrowsner anchor. Some
more passengers come over on a littla
steamer which carries tons of mail,
which is carried up on deck by our sail
ors. The last bag of mail is finally
brought up and off we are for Queens
town, which we reach early in the morn
ing. A little vessel is run aloneside of
'ours, quite a few passengers and some
more mail are taken aboard and now we
start on our journey across the briny
deep.
Our tickets are taken up. we are given
our places and numbers at the table in
the large dining room, and we are shown
to our cabins which are very neatly kept
and well ventilated.
The hours for meals are 8:30 for break
fast, 12:30 for dinner, 5:30 for tea, and
and 9 o'clock for supper.
The list of passengers is made up of
Swedes, Norwegians, Germans, Cana
dians, Americans and even a eentleman
from Paris and his wife have found their
way into this conglomeration of people
from different countries.
The English steamers are not famed
for providing their passengers with fine
victuals, and if the Umbria makes an
exception, it certainly is not by making
better provision than usnaL
Here we are, eating dinner, and to
look at the sober faces of a lanre number
of passengers, one would imagine that
they are reflecting on the painful neces
sity of providing their bodies with the
sustenance of life. On the bill of fare is
seen: (Vol au Tent of Stewed Kidneys;)
and that being quite a suggestive name,
recalling memories of a delicious dish
that bears that name in Alsace, I ven
ture to order some. The waiter brings
on a plate spread all over it some
chopped up kidneys, and the vol au
vent is represented by a small round
piece of dough, the size of a dollar, baked
in an oven. O, heavens, what a delu
sion, what a base deception! Is it pos
sible that the honest English people in
adopting the French expression are only
using it to deceive the uninitiated, or
have they done, like the French, who
when they borrowed from the Germans
the word, Boss, whicfr rather means a
good horse, adopted it in their own lan
guage to describe a broken down jade?
But the less said about the miserable
cooking on this ship the better; at any
rate we survived it and for that we ought
to be thankful.
A little ways from us across the table
sat a red haired woman with coarse fea
tures and mannish ways, and seeing her
so near us with more or less aversion, we
painfully realize the contrast between
this crowd and the pleasant people we
met on the French 6teamer La Bretagne.
There was Mademoiselle J. B. who, with
her mother and sister, had made a visit
to some friends in New York city; rather
petite, with dark eyes, the blackest of
black hair, ease and grace in her bear
ing; such was the young lady who in
pouring out tbe sparkling wine, mingled
with it her bright witticisms. Naturally
frank and outspoken, she criticized
America and her inhabitants with great
freedom ; and, though severe at times, per
haps even unjust, she was so evidently
sincere that no one could feel offended
at her remarks. She was withal a
charming traveling companion and a
general favorite amongst the passengers.
And although she looked at everything
in France with the eyes of a mother who
looks at her family, she was willing to
admit that the Americans were the
equals, perhaps the superiors of her own
countrymen in push, energy and enter
prise, but claimed that they somewhat
lacked the refined manners, the delicacy
and gallantry of the well-bred French
man. And then there was M'selle E. B.,
the young lady brought up and educa
ted in a convent; somewhat delicate in
health, very modest in demeanor, the
embodiment of refinement and civility;
the lively and energetic mother who
told us how she raised her boys: (j si
eleve men file a la cravache et ils m'en
sont tons reconnaissants.) I did not
spare the rod in bringing up my boys,
and they all thank me for it; one is a
lawyer, one a doctor and the other one a
priest. The genial German professor,
who had traveled around the world,
spoke French like a Parisian, and showed
so much fatherly interest in a young
lady from Vienna, who spoke the fash
ionable language equally well, and called
the gray haired gentleman papa, which
pleased him very much. Then there
was the old captain from St. Pierre near
Nova Scotia; he showed by his embon
point that he believed in good living and
was always ready for a good joke, but
got highly indignant when just outside
tbe port of Havre, the captain of our
ship on account of the high sea refused
to let the mail steamer run alongside of
us and take us ashore, and made us wait
for high tide; he asked the sailors to
lower one of the life-boats and he would
convince everybody that it
