An old land mark was removed by
the burning of the building used by

It was the town's first school room, and

the talent of the locality during the
early '80s. Mr. Daesman kept the prop

months ago, when he sold it to Mr.
Herbes. The drug store building

site where it was burned. It was built
by Dr. Trout, who will be remembered

The past two weeks have been very
unfavorable for winter wheat, freezing
the ground at night and thawing out
again each day. It is to be hoped we
may have snow or rain before many
windy days, for the benefit of the plants.
Later. The snow came Sunday and the
wheat is safe. "Eureka!"
The J. H. Bead house on Long Look
Farm just northeast of the city was
being torn down last week by order of
the owner, Carl Rhode, and we are told
that it will be converted into a recepta
cle for ear corn. Thus the old land
marks are disappearing, one by one,. and
even those old stately cottonwood trees,
just north of the B. & M. depot, were
being cut down and removed' to make
room for speculators' huge corn cribs.
It almost grieves us to see those old
land marks destroyed, but when we
know tins to be a progressive age, we do
not find fault
Emil Leueche, oldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Lusche died last Satnrday
morning at 2 o'clock. He had been reg
ularly at school and was in his place on
Friday as usual. In the afternoon of
that day he was taken quite ill, but after
reaching the fresh air ne became better
and remained until the close of school.
After arriving home he became violently
ill and a physician was called, but aft
that could be done was unavailing, for
he died early the next morning. We
cannot learn at this writing' the direct
cause of the sudden demise. The re
mains were taken from the house Mon
day morning at 11, and conveyed to the
German Lutheran church on Shell
Creek, where the body was placed in the
graveyard near by.

We get regularly at The Journal
office "Our Home News," a little paper
published at Lincoln by the managers of
the Home for the Friendless. It gives
an idea or the work tnat is done at xne
Home, which certainly is one of the best
institutions of the state. Those who are
disposed to give anything in the way of
money, food or clothing will find here
their opportunity, and if you know of
children or aged ladies especially, who
are homeless or worse, The Home woujd
be a -good place for them. The institu
tion is surely doing grand, good work,
and the people of this great state should
know more concerning its capabilities
for good. It is solid, practical Chris
tianity. The masquerade ball of the Pioneer
Hook & Ladder Co. on Monday night
was one of the best in their long list of
successes. There were about seventy
maskers, and the fun kept up until three
o'clock in the morning, when the danc
ing ceased. The Twenty-third annual,
ball was also a success financially, prob
ably some $25 clear of all expenses.
Everybody present was 'delighted. The
Columbus orchestra of six pieces fur
nished the music, which is always in
dispensable, of course. Success in these
matters is due, not .only to the enthu
siasm of the membership, but to the
alacrity of sub-committees in respond
ing to the call of .the committee of arr
rangements, which in this case was
George J. HageL, George W. Banmgart
and Bert J. Galley. The street parade
in the afternoon, while not extensive,
certainly unique and attractive.
We notice by the Washington dis
patches that a pension has been granted
to Henry Browning. Henry was for
many years a resident of this county and
was considered one of our pioneers. He
saw several years of hard service during
the war and came out broken in health.
About ten daya ago he died at David
City. It seems too bad that he should
have been kept waiting all these years
for what was rightfully due him. The
amount that has been allowed him as
back pay will be a great aid to his family
who were left in very poor circumstances.
So says the Schuyler Herald, and such
cases there are in every county nearly,
deserving old soldiers "kept waiting all
these years" to see justice done them and
their families. Here and there among
the old boya you will come across one,
who with grim determination affirms thai
he will never apply for a pension so long
as he is able to gather together bread
and water enough to sustain life. This
great American nation should find a
more speedy way of determining whether
one of its faithful soldiers is entitled to
a pension, and, when he is entitled to it,
telling him of it without his having to
be kpt "waiting for years." If the leg
islators of the country are not alive to
"favors past, which are too easily forgot
ten," let them have consideration for
those which are tooome. The best good
of the country at large demands that Ha
noble defenders receive some sort of
though it be tardy.
partment and as the damp
air i
ns feel somewhat ehillv. we trv
toi
w the window to doss it bring it
up a mtle ways and then it sticks; a
sharp jerk, brings it up suddenly, and
baa,tnapansffisstopaeess. A railway
gawd steps up to the door and says
politely, eVtt trois francs, monaiear; the
burns protest, but not wishing to get
into a dispute in the presence of all
these people, the sixty cents are handed
out to him. The rain continues, an oc
oasional gust of wind drives in a few
drops through the broken pane; the
ladies appeal to the first railroad man in
sight explain the situation to him, tell
him that the broken pane has been paid
for, .and insist that it must be replaced
at once; he agrees to do so at once, if
possible, but .finds not time to have it
done; appealed to again by all the ladies,
to pacify them he agrees to put ns into
a first class compartment if he cannot
have the. pane replaced, and leaves us.
noua or tneir success so far, every rail
road man in sight is now appealed to,
even threats are made by our fair com
panions; and is it any wonder that one
of the men left alone, in despair, not
knowing what to say in reply to all these
feminine assaults, calk a few porters to
carry our satchels, and politely asks us
to step into a compartment de premiere.
And now imagine the exultation, the de
light of our companions -at having won
the-victory; showers of compliments and
felicitations deluge the party that has
been the cense of all this excitement
Mademoiselle J. B. leans over, and with
that abandon peculiar to the Frenoh
woman and impossible to the Enshsh or
American, whispers in scarcely audible
toM: -"Monsieur, je ne Tons pins."
But everything must boms to an end;
before we were aware of it, we arrived in
Park. - With mutually expressed regrets
at leaving each other and as the dear
ladies bid ns several times au revoir.we
felt sorry indeed to part with our friends
so soon.
But I am digressing and must return
to our Cunard steamer; more beautiful
weather than we had the first few days,
I have never seen on the ocean, but
Thursday afternoon the wind raised and
in a short time the seas ran quite high;
the steerage passengers sitting on bench
es along the engine rooms try to avoid
the water that comes rushing down from
the forecastle, but are soon forced to go
Deiow to Keep rrom being drenobed.
Towards night the storm increased in
force, ropes were tied across some of the
walks that were open to the cabin pas
sengers; the seas run higher and higher,
and the ocean that on leaving Queens
town'was as smooth as the waters of a
lake, k now nothing but a moving mass
of angry waves, that raising unevenly
form a succession of hilk and dales
apparently deep enough to engulf the
largest vessel that ever was afloat All
night the storm continues and reaches
its climax Friday afternoon. Sailors
were put on guard when the storm
commenced and are changed every few
hours; one sturdy Englishman k given
a post near the ladies' saloon and wears
a smile on hk face as he looks at the
turbulent waters while the water runs
down hk oil coat The immense vessel
rolk from side to side and bobs up and
down like a nutshell in a fast flowing
creek. Tons of water are thrown by the
wind on the forecastle of the ship, and
sometimes the lower deck k covered
with it to the depth of 6 or 6 inches;
the crests of the waves are changed into
spray that fills the air; the stern of the
vessel sinks almost to a level with the
surface of the sea, then suddenly rises
-mot m reet, tne propeller is lined out
of the water and suddenly descends
again; the terrible force of the 3,000
horse power engines which drive the
machinery, when all power of resistance
is suddenly removed and as quickly re
placed, makes the vessel tremble and
groan in its entire length. All day Fri
day,1 the same movement up and down,
the prow sometimes lower than the
waves that confront it as if defying any
further advance, -and the sudden iars
following each other in rapid succession,
make riding on the sea anything but
agreeable and are a terrible strain on
one's nervous system. A good many
passengers, are seasick, some are worn
out and have retired to their cabins.
The only place on deck where you can
stay without being drenched k behind
the ladies' saloon and there we stand to
get a little fresh air, holding on to
whatever we can grasp to keep from
slipping and losing our balance, as the
vessel rolk and pitches with increasing
force, and yet what a grand spectacle to
see the furious waves chase each other
like demons bent on each other's de
struction and in the midst of it all, our
gallant old vessel forging ahead only at
half speed, it k true, but steadily ad
vancing in spite of the terrible seas that
assail it from all sides. During the
night the wind subsides, the sea becomes
somewhat calmer and we enjoy a good
night's rest Saturday morning the sea
k somewhat rough yet, and we see a
small sailing vessel approach us;
her men lower a small skiff and four
sailors take charge of it Our engines
are stopped and the party starts in our
direction. How the little thing rides
the waves k a wonder to behold. When
on the crest of one it looks as if it must
plunge its prow into the water; but no,
it safely gets alongside of us. One of
the 'men boards our vessel and applies
for provisions, which are cheerfully
given by our commander. It seems the
poor sailors have been drifting on the
ocean for several days without anything
to eat With smiling faces and grateful
hearts they return to their boat and are
soon lost out of sight.
In a remarkably short time the ocean
becomes quiet and we move on at a
rapid rate. Sunday morning we reach
Sandy Hook, the sky k clear, the air is
sharp and cold, but the rising sun soon
warms the atmosphere and everybody
feds the stimulus of the pure air and
beautiful sunshine.
The ground k covered with snow and
the beautiful villas and residences that
line, the shores as you come into the
harbor make a good impression on all
the passengers and especially those to
whom thkk a first glimpse of the new
world. Happy and contented k every
one to be greeted by such a lovely day
on arriving into port
' Early in the morning we could see the
statue of Liberty holding out her torch
toward the eastern continent A little
haze seemed to envdop her head, and as
we looked at her from the deck of our
ship, what pleasant memories it recalled!
What a keen pleasure on reaching the
shores of our adopted country to be re
freshed with the sight of thk magnifi
cent work of art made by Bartholdi, a
native of Colmar! Not far from it k the
Brooklyn bridge, a structure the like of
which cannot be found in any other
country. On one side .the gigantic
structure, typical of the daring and en
terprising genius of the American, on
the other the matchless work of the
French artistl What bettor gift could
France have made to her older sktor re-
Eublic on the western continent? What
etter place could have been given it
than the one it occupies, on the edge of
Bedloe's kland, greeting as it were with
extended hand every fugitive from op
pression and tyranny to the realms of a
liberty -lovinsr nation? Some neonle
love to predict the decadence of France.
is u too muen to say tnat tnere must be
a noble spirit abroad in a country that
crippled by a terrible war, offers to a
friendly nation that has enjoyed the
blessings of freedom and self govern
ment thk token of its faith jn liberty as
the bask of future progress? And bow
gratefully it was accepted by its older
sister, and with the American genius for
showing-off everything to the best ad
vantage, given a prominent place in
the harbor of New York! Tee, there
still Uvea in sunny France the same
noble spirit that prompted Lafayette to
cross the ocean and risk hklifs for the
snkt of Wlpsng a courageous people in
tutioa of the United States? Are
quite sure tiat our president has patriot
ism enough to fully understand the
spirit of that document that waa framed
by ita gallant and patriotic authors to
benefit mankind and certainly never was
intended to be so auawnterpretsd as to
prevent a starving people from reoeiviag
tne supplies bestowed upon them by a
generous and charitable nation. And
of late he has been doing everything in
hk power to thwart the efforte of a
heroic people in their straggle to free
themselves from unjust taxation, tyranny
and oppression.
But let us rejoice, for hk'days of
Kwer are numbered, and when on the
i of next March a true patriot aad
able statesman again occupies the presi
dential chair, may we not hope that in
the future, as in the past our worthy
citizens will use their best endeavors to
protect and encourage the human race
in its struggle for justice and liberty,
unni in tne time to come, tne destiny
of mankind being fully realked, we
snail find comfort by every fireside and
happiness in every home?

Chang and Eng, the Siamese twins,
died Jan. 17. When Chang died. Eng
became so terribly shocked that ' he
raved wildly and afterwards lay ia a
deadly stupor and in two hoars was
dead, some think by loss of blood flow
ing into the corpse of hk brother their
bodies were joined by a band of flesh,
stretching from the end of one breast
bone to the same .place in the opposite
twin. They formed two dktinct beings,
but appeared most frequently to think,
act and move as one individual. They
were married to two sisters. Many of
the children were deaf mates.
TJ. S. Treasurer Spinner savB that the
country needs different amounts of cur
rency at different times in the year, and
suggests thk method whereby the cur
rency could be made self-adjuetiag:
Issue legal-tender bills, convertible in
bonds, bearing interest at 3.65 per cent
or one cent a day on $100. In thk case,
those having a surplus could invest in
these interest-bearing bonds, (which
ought to be issued of ss low a denom
ination as $25) and the same ceuld be
available in any emergency and at any
time. When the currency should be
needed it would always be forthcoming
on presentation of the bonds, and when
not ' needed, the conversion of it into
bonds bearing interest would be vir
tually the same as depositing it on in
terest with a bank that always pays its
depositors when called upon.
