Gm Deva ia Sigkt of His 1 Friauafe. From the strength of perfect health to the weakness and despair of disease or accident, or down into the silence and inactivity of death is sometimes but a space of a few minutes, and this it was with young Jacob Kummer, a lad some seventeen years old who lost his life Sunday afternoon, while in the Platte river, swimming some eighty rods west of the Bean school house. It seems that about 6 o'clock young Kummer and a number of other youn ger boys from 10 to 12 years old were at the river, and on Kummer purposing to go in where he did, the others tried to dissuade him from it, telling him the water was very deep there and danger ous. He didn't listen to them, however, but went in and went down head fore most. A suck was pushed in to him but it broke and did him no good. Effort was mads to recover the body from that time to noon on Monday, but without success until H. A. Phillips suc ceeded in finding it at about fifteen min utes to 12, and about a mile and a half down stream from where the unfortu nate lad had entered it. There is no question but the young man was drowned, and no one is to be blamed for it but himself. He lived at Citsar Ernst's. Since writing the foregoing, Mr. Ernst has called to tell us about the young man. There were three of the Rudat boys with him, Frank, Julius and one other. Mr. Ernst says that young Kum mer could not swim. He was an indus trious, well-behaved young man. No inquest was held, there being no question as to the manner of his death. The County institute.

A very large crowd were present at St. Francis Academy Monday afternoon to listen to the commencement exercises of the school.

The graduates from the literary course were Joan Langley, Misses Lena Bccchler.Maggie Cassin and Edna Keller. Misses Lulu Schroeder and Lora Becher graduated from the musical department. The exercises throughout were splendid and showed the careful training ana instruction the Sisters have given them throughout the course. St, Francis Academy has been steadily increasing in numbers every year and now has an attendance both from city and outside pupils of several hundred. During a time when business was practically at a standstill the St. Francis school was compelled to erect additions to their building in order to accommodate new pupils, and now it is classed among the very best educational institutions of the state. George Turner writes under date of June 16. Montpelier, Vermont (on the Onion river l that he had seen Jim Scott at Rutland Monday. He was looking ' well and wished to be remembered to all old friends at home. He and his broth er think Nebraska is all right and expect to return there sometime, may be this fall or next spring. He says crops up that way are away behind, and it looks as though they would not have much. Times are very dull in Termont, and money very close.

Eisenmann's, south of Monroe there was such a commotion in the ele ments that it might very fitly have been called a twister twisting a twist, and it was such a one as to be notable in the annals of that neighborhood for years and years to come. We get particulars from William J. Eisenmann, brother of J. J., whose place is about three miles west and one mile south of Nick Blaser's. There had been a premonitory small storm, but .the twister came along about half past nine o'clock in the evening, and it was not necessary for it to carry any credentials outside of what it brought into the neighborhood, to iden tify itself with. The ceiling and east wall of the main building were carried a hundred and fifty feet away, the sills, flooring, joists etc., forty rods, all the lath, north a half mile from where the house stood. There were baskets, milk pans, etc, scattered promiscuously in every direction. It was Mr. Eisenmann's dwelling-house that was struck by the storm, all but himself being at home at the time he was at Monroe. Of the four persons in the house when the storm struck, not one was seriously hurt, and of the five horses that were tied to a manger in the stable, not a one was hurt not a scratch. There was considerable lumber piled around them, and it took them about an hour to get the horses good and loose from the combination. The storm struck across Fred. Meed el's it hardly ever goes that way with out giving Fred, a reminder, at least, and this time it tore boards off his wind mill, and scattered some of his bee hives, and striking out straight for Monroe.

Wednesday there arrived in Norfolk on the Creighton train a lady S6 years of age, who was without a cent of money. Agent Matrau was informed of the bad plight that the old lady was m, and he took her home and kept her j over night, sending her to Columbus yesterday noon. Mr. Matrau was very glad he did this, as he found that the lady was in every way worthy of help. Her name is Mrs. Lizzie Kofman, and she is on her way from Helens. Montana, to her home in Pennsylvania. She had just buried her only daughter in Helena, and is now cmldless, her son having been drowned in the Johnstown flood. She has a good home in Pennsylvania and a small income upon which she lives. When she left Helena she pur chased what she supposed was a ticket to her home, but when she reached St Paul she found that she was as far as her ticket would take her. Having dis tant relatives living near Yankton, S. D., and Columbus, this state, she concluded to visit them while waiting for money to get home with, but her funds were wholly exhausted by the time sne reached Norfolk. She proved to be a very interesting visitor at the Matrau home. She has a bright mind and her reminiscences of war times and the bat tle of Gettysburg, near which place she lived, were like hearing from home to Mr. Matrau, who took part in the en gagement. She has not only reached an advanced age but is blind in one eye, hence would have experienced consider able difficulty in traveling alone under ordinary circumstances, but to be away from home among strangers and out of money, seemed too much of a hardship. She was fortunate in meeting the kind hearted Matrau. Norfolk News. As Other. See It. A postmaster has been appointed at Columbus in the person of Carl Kramer, who held the position during Harrison's administration. This is a sore disap pointment to the many friends of M. K. Turner, the veteran editor of The Colcmbcs Journal whom they con sidered was entitled to the position. For twenty-eight years he has been editing the leading republican and much of the time the only republican news paper in Platte county and has been a persistent worker for his party, but when he asks his reward it is not given to him. Such is the gratitude of political parties. Schuyler Herald. A Card.

To all Scotkers: I write thi for the benefit similar sufferers may derive rrom it, unsolicited ana oat or pare sympathy to those poor mortals who mav be afflicted with that dread dia cancer. In September of 1387 the d lupuserethemustoeus first made its ap pearance on my face and soon spread across the nose and over a greater part of the face, causing unsightly sorea. After nearly ten years of constant doc toring with many noted physicians and deriving- temporary benefit at times, my hospital, and in a short space of time 1 was able to leave the hospital a well woman. Mvface is now clear and shows but little sign of the dread disease. While in the hospital there were also removed from my body seven cancers, and that without the use of the knife. The medical fraternity scoff at the idea of cancers being removed without the knife. But I am a living proof that it can be and is done by Dr. Lieber. To all those poor mortals who have given up the battle against this dread disease, I say don't despair, but consult with the doctor. I make this statement out of pnre sympathy for similar sufferers, and will be glad to see or answer any in- qmnes in regard to my case. MRS. F. E.
