The listing of corn is in favor with
farmers this season, being a little late,
and thns one going over the land plants
the seed. Many farmers, in fact most of
them nowadays, favor the going over the
land with the lister plow alone, the pre
ceding fall, thus leaving a place to catch
and hold the snow; then in the spring
run the lister plow and drill between
the furrows of the fall plowing, thus
putting the corn in the fresh plowing,
and covering the weeds.
J. M Curtis is giving good service
as news correspondent for the dailies.
He gets all the important news here de
sired by the papers he represents and
sends it in as few words as possible two
of the requisites for a good writer. Cur
tis would make a first-class writer it he
had the opportunity to work 'without
too many restrictions. We have sug
gested to him several times that he
should seek a position on a daily, in a
special department. He works in a vein
of humor peculiarly his own and this
is an evidence of genius.
There are quite a number of the old
stock of musicians in Columbus, as the
numerous organizations evidence. The
latest society we have heard of is the
Junior Orchestra as they might be
styled, as they are all young men, ex
cept Frank Gores, the director, who
leads with the flute. The members are:
Adolph Gores and F. Fisher, 1st violin;
W. Weber, 2d violin; Herman Kereen
brock, clarionet; Tom Hannan, cornet;
George Clark, viola; Wm. Gores, bass
viol; Wash. Clark, trombone. A Jour
nal reporter heard them practice Wed
nesday night last and was agreeably
surprised at the proficiency the young
men show in their work.
A few years ago the coming of a
good musical company to onr city was a
great event and always filled the house
with a fine audience. Of late musical
entertainments have not been so freely
patronized here. Why? Simply be
cause the usual programs were too clas
sical and cold for the average auditor.
In the program to be given by the Schu
bert Symphony Club and Lady Quar
tette on Monday evening, May 3, we
have a musical entertainment that is
highly enjoyable from first to last. Our
readers will do well to remember that it
is. not often that we are offered such a
feast of musical good things as the
Schubert's program contains.
We call the attention of our readers
interested in such matters to the fact
that the National Educational meeting
for teachers will convene in Milwaukee
July 6, and remain in session until the
9th. The Blair Pilot susmets that, as
Nebraska has for years taken the front
rank in attendance at these meetings, it
is to be hoped that this year will bono
exception to the general rule. We sec
ond the hope, fall in with the suggestion
and now let .everybody who baa any
thought of going to the meeting, be sure
to attend and help secure the next meet
ing for Omaha. To facilitate matters,
teachers of Platte county (outside of
Columbus) could consult with Snpt
Bothleitner and Columbus teachers with
Snpt Williams. There is nothing- like

Lewi V. LaBarre Drowaed.
Many Journal readers in the north
part of Platte county especially, will re
member Mr. LaBarre. The older busi
ness men of this city have not forgotten
and will be sorry to hear of bis death.
We clip the following from the Hum
phrey Democrat:
Mr. LaBarre was a former resident of
this neighborhood, having lived four
miles northeast of Humphrey. The
family was well known and many old
settlers will remember them. They left
here about seventeen years ago. The
Portland Sunday Oregonian of April 11,
has the following account of the acci
dent: The body of Lewis C. LaBarre, a no
tice of whose death by drowning in the
Santiam river was recently announced
in a telegram from Gates, Ora, was re
covered two days afterward about a mile
below where the accident happened.
He was crossing the river in a small
boat, and as the waters were very high
and rapid, he was swept down stream a
short distance, lodging upon a rock in
midstream. His friends on shore en
deavored to aid him by throwing a rope
to him, but the rope was too short and
aid from that source was 'abandoned.
In a final effort to return to shore the
boat was upset just above the rapids,
carrying him under for some distance,
and, although he was an expert swim
mer, he came to the surface but once.
The distance from the scene of the acci
dent to the railroad or wagon road is 25
miles, accomplished only by means of
snow shoes and over a high divide,
making it impossible to remove the body
at the present time. It was therefore
buried on the bank of the river in a neat
coffin prepared by his friends.
Mr. LaBarre had been in Southern
Oregon for some time, where he was de
veloping some mining property. He left
a wife, two sons and four daughters.
Hemp Raising.
J. M. Curtis, the wide-awake corres
pondent of the Omaha Bee, lets no im
portant item of general interest get
away and we give him credit for the
following to bis paper of Wednesday:
"M Jerome, proprietor of the hemp
factory, has a torce or fourteen men
plowing and they are turning over a
large amount of ground each day. He
will put in over 1,000 acres of hemp this
season. He has still enough of last
year's hemp to keep the tow mill run
ning until the 1st of July. This indus
try is fast becoming an important factor
in Platte county, and Mr. Jerome who
has been engaged in the business' for
many years, says that the soil here is
peculiarly adapted to this article. It is
a fact that hemp will flourish like a green
bay tree on soil where other crops can
not do so well."
The Signal says that John Ooulis,
son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gonlis, sr.,was
driving a load of shelled corn to Platte
Center last Saturday, and when about
two miles from town he fell from the
wagon by accident and the rear wagon
wheel went over him, breaking his thigh
bone. Accompanying teams took him
to Platte Center immediately where Dr.
Hansen set the fractured limb and start
ed him to his home three miles north of
town. The boy is only 12 years of age,
but he exhibited a remarkable will pow

It pays to advertise. Recently, a
patron of The Journal- had a cow more
than he needed, and offered her for sale
through the medium of The Jodbkax.
It was but a short time until he had
sold the cow and at a good price, the
advertisement costing but a very small
per cent of the sale. He is a convert to
the principle of advertising, which is a
fruitful one in business if the entire
public are informed of your desire to
sell, that part of the public who are in
need of that article are more apt to learn
of your desire to sell than if you did not
tell the public. This telling is best done
through the newspaper. Men do not
light a candle, and then hide its light
under a bushel.

Tuesday evening of last week Prof. E.
N. Plank delivered his lecture on the
great English dramatist.
The lecture became of such absorbing
interest that we laid down our pencil
and listened "with all the ears that we
had" to what a philosopher had to say
of one of the great geniuses among men,
and the discourse was a rich treat to
those who had the pleasure of being
present.
He spoke in brief of the life of Shaks
peare, his family, his home at London,
his wife's home at Stratford, his methods
of work, the characteristic qualities of
his genius among which were the ex
tent of his information, his power to
trace a motive from its tender begin
nings to its full fruition (and this of all
the sentiments and all the powers of the
human soul).
He dwelt upon his literary equip
ment his stock of words, his compan
ionship of literary men, the beauty and
force of English speech, and quoted
from his works to show what a variety
of subjects his genius had illuminated
Opportunity, Mercy, Friendship, Adver
sity, Woman's Wit, Woman's Reason,
eta, etc, calling attention to some of the
bore latent suggestions embodied in the
wonderful lines.
He evidently believes as Pope's line
runs,
" Tia edacatioa forma the common find,"
(the italics are our own), but that the
routine schools of learning are not to be
designated or to be considered as schools
for the special training of geniuses, or
even, as we understand him, for the spe
cial encouragement of geniuses.
"Education" would have uniformity,
genius demands diversity; education
would have all conform to a convention
ality, genius demands that the individ
ual be himself.
Mr. Plank closed his lecture with
these words:
''Shakspeare was one of those trans
cendently great men who at long inter
vals appear on earth to show that man
is related to the gods. His life marks
an epoch in the progress of mankind.
We are all glad that he lived his own
great and good life. We are gladder
that he belonged to the sub-race of man
kind to which we belong, and lived
nearly the life which we live. We are
gladdest of all that he thought nearly
as we think, and wrote and spoke the
language which we write and speak, and,
though he is emphatically our Shaks
peare, belonging most cloeely to us
English-speaking people, yet he was not
born of any one age or for any one age
or for any one people, but for all times
and for all peoples everywhere, and
though his constant companions and
friends were the greatest and grandest
men that could ever have assembled
in the capital of any one country, yet he
was the greatest and the grandest of
them all; the tallest in the forest of
pine; the highest peak in a lofty and ex
tended mountain range, the greatest
and the brightest in the galaxy of suns."
A Little Careless.
Nebraska land has been moat of these
years so cheap that people have been a
little careless of titles and boundaries,
and possession even, but there is an
awakened interest, here and yonder, and
the public, at least, is not inclined to be
so lenient as it has heretofore been.
It would seem that after a town site
has been platted, the plat recorded, etc.,
that no one should acquire title merely
by using and continuing to use what
does not belong to him, and that town
and city officers have no right or shadow
of right, in utter violation of their oath
of office to allow obstructions to alleys
and streets to continue, contrary to law,
antagonizing common-sense, in spite of
protest and remonstrance on the part of
property-owners, until the violation has
been so lengthened out that the tres
passer is transmuted into the legal
owner.
The title to real estate is so important
a matter, especially when dedicated to
use as a public highway, that only the
people in their corporate capacity, by
direct action, should have the power to
convey title.
Valley, Nebraska, is having a contest
with one of her lady citizens (not with a
railroad company) in regard to the ob
struction of one of the Btreets of that
village, and the Enterprise contains this
suggestion as pertinent to the situation:
"If the village of Valley continues to
forfeit her rights to streets and alleys by
her obliging disposition to let people
occupy said streets and alleys in peacea
ble possession for a few years, the town
will soon have no streets and alleys. The
present village board should declare ev
ery street and alley in the corporation
open and thereby shut off any claim of
1 title by holding peaceable possession for
a period of ten years."
