Ton will find very few who can write it correctly the first attempt Saturday evening as John Pollock, Dave Chestnutwood and Charles Pear- sail were coming home from a fishing expedition, near Hughs' office the old horse concluded he would scare at a switch engine, turned suddenly round and it is not known whether Pollock and Chestnutwood jumped out or were thrown out but they were surely out Pearsall was thrown out on his stomach and dragged for about fifteen feet, but he held on, and succeeded in stopping the horse.

Aldrich met with quite a loss yesterday morning, his trotting mare Belle Wells, holding a record of 2:17, which he had sent over to Red Oak, la., for track training, dying. He knew tbe mare was not well, and Tuesday sent Dr. Sprague over from here to look after her, but yesterday morning received a telegram from him that the mare was dead. She was considered one of the best of her record on the western race tracks, and as Mr. Aldrich held no in surance policy upon her the loss is quite a heavy one. Had she lived she would no doubt have made a more brilliant record for herself this season than that of last year. David City News. We clip the following dispatch from St Edward to the State Journal under date of April 17: "Last night about 9 o'clock Mrs. Dr. Britell fell on the street and died in about twenty minutes. She was taken to Dr. Flory'a office when first discovered, but nothing oould be done to save her life. Dr. Britell waa fishing at the time, but although a mes senger waa sent for him, he did not arrive till too late to find her alive. Her eons, Harry Britell of Columbus and Ora Britell, at the state university at Lin coln, were telegraphed for. She leaves besides the above eons, one son, E. C Davis, a business man of this city." Mr. and Mrs. Britell went up Saturday morning from here. The daily papers at Omaha, Chicago and various parts of the country have been reporting, during several weeks now, n sight of lights in the sky, which they give forth as carried by an air ship. Various descriptions have beau given of these floating air vessels, but there has never been anything positive enough to hang a belief on. The nearest that we have happened to see ia that the directors of the Trans-Mississippi ex position have had a letter from a man giving his name aa A. C Clinton, who aaya that he is the inventor of an air ship; that he has made it a success, end that he will exhibit it at the exposition if he is given space. He also promised them a personal call at an early date. Margery McGaffin, a young lady about 20 years old and daughter of Editor McGaffin of the Independent, let a pin which she had in her mouth slip down her throat last Friday evening. It lodged in her throat, and of course was very distressing. Dre. Cummins and Marsh worked for several hours trying to remove it, about two hours of which time the young lady waa under the in fluence of chloroform, but -they were unable to remove the pin, although they could feel it The pin finally psasad in to the stomach, and it is hoped no se rious results will follow. She was in great distress all day Saturday, and fainted several times Saturday evening, but Sunday morning ahe waa able to be up and dressed, and has been improving ever since. It ia a wonder more such accidenta do not occur from the habit woman have of making pin eusauonsof their AKi.f.J-SMS''A lest as the ber et Wm. Seeker's saloon was upon a ; he heard a at a door in the rear of the bar (where there is n flight of stain, leading into the upper atoryX end, on opening it, rewanunattheheedoftheetairs-not being able to get farther in. There were several men in the saloon at the time, or Mr. Becher aad his bar tender may have had n serious teasel of it. The man caught at the head of the stain endeavored to play drunk, but didn't get a chance to escape, and waa pretty esverely punished for hia efforts. 'The confederate on the outside, at first endeavored to hold the door open for the escape of hia partner. Failing in this he picked up some brickbats and heavy bottles aad bombarded one of the east windows, with the evident purpose of doing up Becher. Chase was made after him and he waa finally caught by Gua Plath. Tbe police were called, and the two men taken to jail, where they gave their names aa Arthur Aahebrook and John Leonard. ,K Thursday afternoon they had a hear ing before Magistrate Fuller on a charge of assault with intent to commit great-bodily harm, and were ordered to give bond in $900 for their appearance at district court, in default of which they were pleoed in jail. The witnesses that testified against them were Wm. Buoher, .Arthur Pohl, Gus Plath and They haveatBce been arraigned; J. D. Stires, snd-W.M Cornelius appointed attorneys for their defence, and it ia understood they will have their trial at an early day. Mrs. Isabel Davidson, wife of the law yer that obtained a divoroe under false 'pretenses, and afterwards married Miss Dietrich of this city, has been heard from. She is at Springfield, Illinois, and makes this statement: "On October 5 of last year my hus band left our home at Quincy in the morning, saying that he had to go to ruyson, twelve mues from Cuincy, to try a law case, and that he would return that afternoon. He took all the money in the house, and that is the last I have seen 'of him. On January 19 I reoeived a letter from him, dated at Chicago, in which he said that be didn't care where he went, and that he never expected to see me again. That was the last I heard from him. I was not notified of any divoroe proceedings being brought against me in Nebraska, though my hus band must have known that I was either in this city or Quinoy, and the first in timation Lhad of a divoroe case against me was reading the article in the papers. I notice in the Quincy Herald (which had been shown Mrs. Davidson by a re porter) that my husband's father says that" he did not know of my whereabouts. That statement is not so, for I wrote him a few weeks ago from this city, asking him if he knew of the where abouts of my husband, and he never answered the letter. He must have re ceived it, for I marked on the envelope a request thst the letter be returned to me if not delivered within ten days. My father-in-law has charge of all of my poooeonions. Every charge made by my Husband against me in his bill or di voroet, is false. There never was any serious trouble between me and my hus band1,' and he treated me well during the time' in which we lived together, the only1 complaint that I have to make being that he failed to support me." Two of F. J.Tesek's boys and one of MraVJanacek's boys of Schuyler, aged 12 and 13 years, were the ones guilty of the attempted derailing of a Union Pa cifio train last week east of Schuyler, mention of which was made in last week's Journal. Inquiry in the neigh borhood in which the boys had been on Saturday disclosed that the John Craig school house had been forcibly entered and a lot of pencils and pens stolen, and other misdemeanors committed. The evidence seemed to implicate the boys, and at 9 o'clock Monday night Marshal Fulmer arrested one and Sheriff Kroeger the other, and they then confessed to having broken into the school house and also to having placed upon the railroad track a heavy stone, which was struck by the Overland limited at 6 o'clock. The boys said the train jumped about a foot high when it struck the rock. Not satisfied with this and, as they stated it, wanting to "see the train turn over in the ditch," they placed the three thirty six jnch angle irons upon the rails, together with eleven bolts about three feet long, which they removed from a railroad bridge near by. The boys are not known to have been previously en gaged in any similar work, although the Pesek boy has been looked upon as a daring leader and prolific suggeeter of schemes for dangerous kinds of fun among the small boys. Young Janecek seems to have been led into the mis chief, but neither seems to have had anything in mind beyond seeing the train roll into the ditob. They have been in school, having been quite reg ular and fairly studious. The boys are now out on bonds pending a hearing in the county court Wallace's . Farmer, always on the lookout for suggestions of practical ben efit, says of the soggy corn, that it ia now-ueeioaB to shell it, as, if shelled, it must1' be sold for what anybody has a tbind'to give. It is folly, therefore, to shell it; it is scarcely less foolish to let it remain as it is. If once dried, it will keep indefinitely. It will not' be the beat of corn, but ita food value will be greater on the farm than anywhere else. Where the cribs are full, build on a sixteen foot extension, it will cost much less than the loss of the oorn, then move the corn from one end to the other till it is dry. A good band will move from 1,000 to 1,500 bushels of corn in a day, and that day's work will be better ex pended as a rule than in growing a new crop. Let us take care of what we have, even if much of it ia poor truck and get it dried once so it will keep indefinitely and there ia no doubt but that we shall find use for it 'We feel sure that tbe farmer who baa oorn of which he is in any doubt will regret it if he does not at once examine it and if it ia in bad con dition adopt this suggestion.
