DROWNED.
JACOB KUMMER, AGED-SEVENTEEN,
TAKES HIS LAST ENJOYMENT
IN THE RIVER SUNDAY.
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.

A very large crowd were present at
St. Francis Academy Monday afternoon
to listen to the commencement exercises
of the school. The teachers attending
the county institute were out in large
numbers and together with the many
friends and relatives of the children of
the school the room was crowded to its
utmost capacity. 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. The business of the
Wild West in the state has been light

high-water mark. Every one seems to
think we will do big business in Canada.
The Woodmen of the World held the
services for the unveiling of the monu

Kavanangh. captain. J. N. Kilian read
the ritual and C. J. Garlow delivered an
excellent address. After the ceremonies
at the cemetery, the members of the
lodge together with their friends ad
journed to the K. of P. hall, where re
freshments were served. Sovereign
Commander Root of Omaha, who is the
founder of the Woodmen of the World,
was present and made a speech, as did

Thursday night last in the vicinity of
J. J. 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.

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.

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.
