The Quill says the work originally done on Schuyler's water system was poor, and besides all the rest of it, are the wooden water pipes, which have begun to burst. The Quill declares the city works a failure. The Ladies' auxiliary of the Congre gational church will serve ice-cream and cake in the Park next Friday evening, July 9th, from 5 until 10 o'clock.

While Martin Costello, his wife aud three children were out riding, the horse backed against a watering trough and broke a spoke out of the phaeton, but very fortunately quieting down before doing any more damage. The Campbell system of farming, which has been tried several places in Nebraska this season is proving to be very successful. The farms under this system are reported as in much better condition than the farms adjoining them. The high water in the Platte last week was caused by heavy rains in the western part of the state and in the mountains. At Callaway there was a cloud burst. The ordinarily sluggish old stream has not Wen so high for quite a while. Miss Mamie Sheehan is taking a month's vacation from her duties at the county judge's office. Miss Lillie Bel ford is taking Miss Sheehan's place in the office. Misses Lizzie and Mamie Sheehan are expecting to spend their vacation in St. Paul. There were probably five thousand people at the Farmers' picnic McAllis ter grove Monday. Alfie Heintz of this city with his pony won one of the prizes and the young babe of Mr. and Mrs. Sco field the second prize as a handsome babe, against a host of competitors. At Reiser's grove on the Fourth a large crowd of people were present and the day every way enjoyable. There were three bands in attendance, the Am erican Swiss, the Farmer Boys and the Monroe band. The proceeds of the day's business clear of all expenses was $75. Fred Stenger on Thnnday left with us a sample of winter wheat that is somewhat remarkable for the number of kernels reproduced from a single grain, being thirty stalks,- thirty-five kernels average to each stalk. He estimates his field will yield him 35 bushels- to the acre. A straw-burning engine -is one of the modern featnres of a threshing ma chine. .Everything is done by the ma chine, the band-cutting, the feeding, the stacking, and only a few loads of straw per day will keep the machine moving. Farmers who have much work to do should demand the latest "appliances. You ought to be thankful that yon don't live in the sand hills. Frank Wilt sen, a wealthy ranchman, while on his way from his ranch to Alliance, stopped at Smith's ranch to water his team wl en a pack of half a dozen stag hounds, kept by Smith for protection of his stock against gray wolves, attacked him, and almost tore his arms and legs to shreds. He will probably die. An anecdote is told of a little girl who was greatly concerned because her brother had set traps to catch birds. Questioned as to what she had done, she replied: "I prayed that the traps might not catch the birds." "Anything else?" ''Yes," she said, "I then prayed that God would prevent the birds get ting into the traps; after that, I thought it best to go and kick the traps to pieces." The Eastern Star lodge installed their officers for the ensuing yearattheir hall last Friday evening. Miss Ida Mea gher is now matron; J. D. Stirea, patron; Mrs. Beardsley, associate matron; Mrs. Coolidge, secretary; Mrs. M. H. Watts, treasurer. They are preparing for a pic nic to lie held some day next week at McAllister grove, where they will meet the Schuyler Eastern Star lodge and have a grand good time. A watch has been placed over the loose lumber at the Loup bridge. This is right. It is a big expense, such a bridge is in the beginning, a very big expense, and now the repairs on it will cost some 3,000 and the people who have no respect for the rights of the public should be compelled to respect those rights, not only by not being al lowed to steal the lumber, but also by not allowing them to violate the law as to fast driving. Died, Tuesday, June 29th, Alden, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Babcock, aged 18 months. He was sick only alout twenty-four hours, and suff ered from a complication of cholera infantum and convulsions. The Mon roe Looking Glass says the funeral was from the church at 3 o'clock Thursday, July 1, Rev. Hinman of Genoa officiat ing. The remains were placed in the Friends' cemetery north of Genoa. The pall bearers were Master Roy Thurston, Lee Gerrard, Neil Hollingshead and Thomas Godfrey. The game of base ball on the Fourth between the Shelby and Columbus nines was accounted the best of the season here. The home nine were very good, but not strong enough for the visitors. About three hundred witnessed the game, which was played at the fair grounds. The score was: Shelby. ...0 10 3 0 0 12 0-7 Columbus. 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1-2 It will be seen that in five innings Shel by scored no runs; in two she scored but one; in one she scored two runs, and in one three, so that take off the runs earned in the fourth and eighth innings and they would have been equal. Prac tice some, and try them again. The Christian Endeavor convention in San Francisco is drawing a large crowd of excursionists from all parts of the country. In four days the U. P. carried through Columbus 39 extra trains with a total of 323 coaches. The coaches average about 60 people to a car, which, together with the regular trains, would count up about 21,060 people going over the U. P. alone. In making a low estimate of the trains run from different roads into Denver, Mr. Meagher eays in running trains out of that place a half hour apart it would take five days to get all out. The diff erent roads are expecting to carry large excursions to Milwaukee to the teach ers' convention. The editor's farm team pulled away from their fastenings Monday morning in the alley of the city residence and started up Tenth street, going to the Pa cific house and around to Eleventh street tearing down east, endangering several vehicles and people on the route. At one time it looked as though the horses were going to go astride of the telephone pole opposite Boettcher's but they didn't. Then again just iu front of the ware house of Ernst & Swartz there was a buggy with a woman and young child occupying it, all having a narrow escape, a wheel, however, of the runaway carri age striking the buggy and lifting it about a foot, but doing no damage. The runaway team kept on down Eleventh street, turned at the livery, and were stopped at the scales of Way &. Hocken lierger, where they were just saved from running into a team of Emil Held's. August Schack and Ed. Elston have the thanks of the folks for the return of the team to the "place of beginning." Notice has been issued that a silver conference will be held in this city Fri day, July 10, at 2 o'clock "for the pur pose of recommending candidates for the various offices, whose names are to be presented to the nominating conven tions of the democratic and people's in dependent parties at their regular con ventions. It is recommended that a mass meeting of all silver, men, regard less of politics, be held in each precinct in Platte county, Wednesday, July 14, at 2 o'clock for the purpose of electing delegates to said conference." In the call the democrats of the county are apportioned 92 delegates, the populists 70, and the silver republicans 20. This is the natural outcome of the result of last Friday's meetings of the central committees, (democrat and populists). The latter were willing enough to join forces, and appointed a committee with that in view, but the democrats gave decided vote against it. It is claimed 6ince the meeting, that Kavanangh will not be able to manipulate the conven tion as he did the committee meeting, and that there will be a fusion of forces. For our part, we do not believe there will be. It is almost' an imDoasibilitv I for elements so various to unite. 1 Smtnal JHeRttfif. ? g UIMIinillMllWWtMMimiUIBWHUItlwg J. N. Heater is in the city.

The following from Saturday's Omaha Bee will be interesting to the many friends and old neighbors of James E. North: J. E. North, for the past four years collector of internal revenue for the dis trict of Nebraska, had his term of office formally closed last evening in a very pleasant manner. The employes of the office prepared a banquet at the Dellone hotel in bis honor, and nearly all the people connected with the service in this district were present. In addition to that they presented Mr. North with an elegant upholstered easy chair as a token of their esteem. Those present were: J. E. North; his chief deputy and son, E. W. North; his daughter. Miss May North; Fred Race, P. O'Malley, W. S. Becher, Dan Lee, Miss Joy Higgins and Miss S. Hill of the office force; F. H. Murnell of Grand Island, E. P. Mumford of Beatrice, F. H. Galbraith of Albion, W. B. Eastham of Broken Bow, G. C. Kerkow of Fremont, A. Matthews of Omaha, and M. E. Cog ley of Flandreau, S. D., deputy collec tors; W. E. Magney, Louie Heimrod, G. L. Rebbausen, N. A. Miller and M. H. Madden, gangers; G. H. Rhodes, C. M. DeBolt and T. K. Bradley, storekeepers. After disposing of an elaborate menu, Mr. Matthews, acting as toastmaster, proposed a series of toasts, which were taken as follows: "Our Deputy Collec tors," by Mr. Mumford; "Our Office Force," by Mrs. Race; "Our Gangers," by Mr. Magney; "The Storekeepers," by Mr. Rose; "Our Honored Guest," by Mr. Galbraith, who presented the chair; and the response by Mr. North. The ad dresses abounded in expressions of good feeling toward the collector, and his re sponse was sincere in its expression of appreciation of the regard in which he was held by those who had been asso ciated with him during the past four years. A letter was read from Mr. J. E. Houtz, who is to succeed Mr. North, expressing regret that he was unable to participate in the banquet. The formal program having been completed, others volun teered to speak a few words of compli ment to the collector, and to wish him long life and prosperity. It was nearly midnight when the pleasant party was broken up. Weatker Resort. Review of the weather near Genoa for the month of June, 1897.

" Minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted. The claims of Adtilph Lners for $49.96; Joseph Flynn $5; Friedhof & Co. $1.06; John Nelson 91, were allowed and war rants ordered drawn. Hockenberger, Galley and Becher of the finance committee, made the fol lowing report: "The undersigned finance committee would report that they have examined and checked up the accounts of Frank Wurdeman, school treasurer, from June 15, 1896, to July 1, 1897, and found all accounts correct and vouchers on hand for which be claimed credits, and we took up and receipted to him for all of said vouchers. We find the following balances in the different funds: Teachers' fund overdrawn S 38 09 General fund on hand. . .139 47 Text book fund on hand. 36 04 Library fund on hand ... 6 63 8183 01 We also checked up and compared the secretary's books with the treasur er's account and found them to agree, and the following amounts outstanding on warrants not cashed: general fund 8385.93; text book fund 874.15. Also due to Dodd, Mead & Co. the sum of 870 on encyclopedias, for which no order has as yet been drawn." The report' of the committee was or dered placed on file. George E.

Afterwards, in due form and by bal lot, the following were selected as per manent officials for the ensuing year: J. H. Galley, president; I. Gluck, vice president; J. G. Becher, secretary.

When, several weeks ago, The Journal expressed its opinion with reasons therefor, that the wave of pros perity, or at leaet one of the small ones had arrived and was distributing its life-giving vigor so far as it could reach, there were certain of the objectors who took us to task over the matter, accusing us wrongfully of stretching the truth for political effect. We believe in using the truth, and not in abusing it. In all events, in all emergencies, in all situa tions, it is the truth that makes free; it is the truth that counts. We need not patronize the truth. It will be here doing business long after yon are laid away. We knew that a little wave of prosperity had come to us and we were duly thankful for it. We said so. And we hoped it would come to everybody. We could see signs of it here and there. We 6aid so, and we were right. We don't need anybody to convince us that we were right in our declaration, but there are those who will not believe any but their own kind of people, and for their benefit we quote the following from the World-Herald of Omaha: "Things that were as if dead have sprung into life. Business that was de clining has begun to experience a re vival. Houses that were empty have been filled. Buildings that were dilap idated have been put in repair. Streets that were quiet have become tilled with life. Trade that was dull has been aroused to activity. Citizens who were depressed have become hopeful. The future that was gloomv has become bright." Cattle for Sale. J. L. Sturgeon & Son received a nice bunch of 200 head of cattle, Saturday, which they have for sale at their ranch near the city. If you wish good cattle see them at once. If they don't have on hand what will please you, they can be sure to sat isfy you in a few days at farthest. They are in the business for good, and will make business mutually satisfactory. The Chautauqua assembly to be held at Crete, Neb., will be full of attrac tion this year; the program is replete with talent of a high order in every de partment. Write for particulars to Geo. W.
