D. F. Davis returned last Tuesday
evening from his trip south. He is not

here than it is there.

a contest at base ball between Ellis

which were the home runs by Jones and
Siseon, the two base hits by Lohr, also
the safe hitting by Nelson. The Jones
nine are ready to play any amateur kid
team in the state.
Mrs. O. A. Turk, (daughter of Mrs.

Turk had many friends here and around
Silver Creek who will sympathize with

Columbus people who heard Major
Ben Butterworth speak here during the
campaign last fall formed a very favora
ble opinion of him and will not be sur
prised to hear of improvements in the
affairs of the office to which President
McKinley called him, commissioner of

practice before the patent office eight
attorneys for corrupt practices, and he
has ordered John Wedderburn & Co. of
Washington to show why they should
not be debarred for deceiving their
clients.
A Bpecial train of twenty-two cars
of fat cattle owned by Bancroft and
McGeehee, ranchmen near Madison,
passed through Monday morning for the
Chicago market East of Madison, on
what was formerly known as the Town
ship Farm of thirty-six sections owned
by Walter Craig and Ephraim Clark,
(Harrison county, Ohio, men well known
to many Journal readers) there are
now a number of large ranches with fine
buildings, large acreage under high cul
tivation, with special facilities for rais
ing and fatting cattle and hogs, and
quite a good deal of bnmneas comes to
Madison in the way of selling supplies
for these farms.
The Whitmoyer Rifles went into
camp near Gottechalk's from Saturday
evening to Sunday noon. We under
stand several stragglers from camp were
ordered under arrest and put into tue
guardhouse for a short time. Really,
the soldier's life, faithfully and con
scientiously lived, is about as effective
discipline as young lads get, after the
mother's gentle lessons are a voice of
of the past.
Johnnie, the 7-year-old son of John
Obegglen, while swimming in the Loup
river south of town last Sunday with
other boys, cut his right knee badly on
a piece of glass or other material, from
which he will be laid up for several
weeks. This ought to bo a warning to
other boys to be careful where they
swim in the river as in many places the
river bed is full of old tin, broken glass
and iron which might give some serious
wounds.
Just because Rev. Hayes at the
commencement exercises prayed that
the Lord would ''bless all the instru
mentalities used in furtherance of edu
cation," one of his auditors says that he
prayed for the saloons, Itecause they pay
a license that goes to the support of the
schools. It might be answered on the
other hand that the object of tho law is
to limit the number of saloons and to
have them help provide means of edu
cating tho youth as to the evil effects of
iutoxicauts and narcotics.
There will bo a band carnival and

Wo learn that Editor Gruenther of
Platto Center is talked of as a candidate
for sheriff. So is John Byrne3. So is
R. Y. Lisco. So is Mr. Wilson of Platte
Center,- among republicans. It is plain
to be seen that the populists, if they
fueo with tho democrats, will do so on
the plea of free silver, but really,
of course, to givo them a lighting chance
to secure tho offices. Wo think, how
ever, that every day the desire of fusion
on tho part of the great body of Platte
county democrats, grows perceptibly
less.
Tho Ilea's Duncan correspondent
give3 the following concerning tho storm
at that place last Friday:
"Over six inches of water fell in half
an hour. Grain and corn on low lands
adjacent to the hills were washed down
by the flood and covered with sand.
Grain and corn are badly blown down
aud a narrow strip, of which Duncan
wa3 ino center, was uamy pounuea oy
hail. Farmers will come out all right,
however, as it was getting very dry and
crops would soon have dried up with
out rain, and as it is what is left has
plenty of moisture, sis it continued to
rain steadily all night. Several small
buildings were turned upside down by
the wind, which was very violent for a
short time."
The great international questions of
the hour, and American questions of a
political or economic character, are dis
cussed in the editorial department of
the American Monthly Review of Re
views for July. The project of Hawaiian
annexation claims precedence in the re
view of current topics, entitled "The
Progress of the World." The editor
also comments on. the present status of
tho Cuban question, on the situation in
Spanish politics, and on our trade rela
tions with the South American repub
lics. This department deals, too, with
tho problems resulting from the Turco
Grecian war and other grave complica
tions in tho Orient. Tn domestic mat
ters, the proposed currency commission
and the labor conditions of tho country
receivo special attention.
Oh, yes, Dimply because a man holds
a position at Lincoln does not disqualify
him from taking part in political atTajro
in tho county of his former residence.
The country is wide, there is room for n
good many different kinds of people,
and when it comes to working for the
public, wo must allow individuals to ex
ercise the ordinary rights. Tho partic
ular thing that is objectionable io that
thero aro so many men who assume to
dictate political action, and nso any
official prestige they may have to fur
ther their own individual ends. When
this is done, to tho public hurt, others
have a right to call a halt. So long as
there is no injury to public interests,
there is not so much concern by the
public, but they know tho facts and
keep up a thinking all tho while.
With an article headed "American
Patriotic Societies" in the Juno Trans
Mississippian, a monthly magazine pub
lished in Omaha, there i3 a very good
portrait of Rev. Goodale. We copy the
following the paper in reference to him:
"It is interesting to note that the Ne
braska society has two members whose
fathers rendered actual service in the
cause of independence He graduated
from Union college in New York slate
in 183G. He was one of the founders of
Psi Upsilon, a select college fraternity.
He came to Nebraska in 186G as Profes
sor "of Natural Science at Brownell
Hall, Omaha. He is a member of the
Nebraska Society of tho Sons of the
American Revolution whose father en
listed four times and first entered ser
vice as a fifer at the ago of fifteen."
All tax-payers of the city are inter
ested in the ordinance recently passed
by the city council appropriating money
to defray the necossary expenses and lia
bilities of the city for the current fiscal
year. The total sum is SIS, 1G0.33. The
items above a thousand dollars are:
policemen $2,100; protection against fire
Sl,200; sprinkling streets, $1,200; light
ing same, $1,400: grading aud repairing
streets, etc., 1.800; waterworks, fuel, re
pairs and running expenses, $1,050.08.
The interest charge is: on $37,500 water
bonds, 2,52o; on $30,000 Lonpe river
bridge bonds, $1,800; on $8,000 Platte
river bridge bonds, $480. The Journal
has always favored public improvements
when needed and justified by the condi
tion of the finances, but insists that the
guiding principle in the expenditure of
public funds is "get the worth of your
money." It will be seen that the total
sum here mentioned is about six dollars
each for every man, woman and child in
the city, and while it may all be used, it
would be well to keep a close watch at
every approach to the treasury, and save
as much of it as is consistent with the
public welfare.

Gondring.
To Gondring was referred the treas
urer's bond to examine as to form, and
if in his opinion correct, to turn over to
committee on finance.
Galley suggested that it was a good
plan, each year to select one of the
buildings for making special improve
ments needed, so that the burden would
not fall in any one year. LaBt year, it
was the Third ward building, and this
year, it might be the First. It would
be well for the committee on buildings
to examine closely the building and
suggest necessary repairs.
It was thought best that the Text-
oook committee examine books on
hands, and order the needed additions
in bulk.
Adjourned to Jnly 22.
Last Wednesday we had occasion to
visit Madison on business, and found
that burg enjoying their share of the
prosperity that is evidently meaning to
stay. The crops between here and there
are among the best wo have ever seen.
There aro not many portions of tho
glole where nature is making a liner
showing just now, and Nebraskans may
well feel grateful because their lines
have fallen to them in pleasant places.
The evidences of returning prosperity
aro to be seen on every hand. No one
person is makiug any great improve
ment, but nearly every one is doing
something to add to the value of their
property, and this brings work to me
chanics, and business to the dealers. A
call at the offices of the Star and Chron
icle, showed that our newspaper friends
are having their share of prosperity.
We hear a pretty good story illus
trative of a phase of "business' that has
been altogether too common in some
parts of the country. A dealer had been
shipping eggs to a commission merchant
east, but he thought he had not been
treated fairly, and so he set his wits
working to evolve a scheme whereby to
sit down on the "hogs." He shipped
some eggs and followed the shipment in
to the house, followed it close enough
to get there at the Bame time. They
didn't know him. He wanted to buy a
lot' of eggB and did bny, getting his own
shipment, along with others. He went
home and in a few days received their
statement of the sale of his eggs at 9
cents a dozen. He had paid 12. He
confronted them with a statement of
this steal of 25 per cent of the sale, and
they were anxious at once to correct the
"mistake."
A few days ago a gentleman re
marked "I am more and more convinced
every day of my life that we are becom
ing a nation of growlers." Indeed there
is more truth than posliB the saying,
for we growl at the wSsMer if it is too
hot and we growl if it is too cold; we
growl if it is wet and we growl if it is
dry. We complain of our preachers
aud we grumble at our school teachers.
We curse our law makers if they enact
certain measures and we denounce them
if they don't. We complain of poor
business and we fret when we are
rushed. We denounce the newspapers
when they print all the bad news about
ns and we bring railing accusations
against them' when they don't print
something sensational about somebody
else and so on through the whole cate
gory. The world, however, wonld be
mnch better, individuals and families
happier and there would often times be
sunshine where there is now shadow if
we would all atop this nonsensical
growling. Ex.

DIED.
Chatfield Saturday morning, July
10th, at 8:30, Clarence, son of Mr. and
Mrs. P. J. Chatfield.
Services were held at the residence
east of the city at 1 o'clock Sunday last,
Rev. Mickel of the Methodist church
preaching the sermon. The body was
then taken to its final resting place for
burial the Bell wood cemetery. The
manner of the young lad's death was
such as to elicit the sympathy of all for
the stricken parents. Clarence had
been used to walking after the cows and
driving them up in the evening, but ou
Thursday evening last, he had been
helping drive some horses to Albert
Stenger's, with the expectation of going
with tho men the next day taking the
hord south to pasture, and being on
horseback, thought ho would go and
bring up the cows, and so remarked to
his younger brother Oliver, who opened
the gate for him and told him he would
stay there till he came back. Directly,
Oliver noticed the riderless horse com
ing towards the gate, and ran down to
where Clarence lay, then noticing for
the first time that something was wrong.
The father was notified, and taking the
lad in his arms, in Harry Clark's buggy
he was taken home to tho place for
merly owned by Mr. Finney. Drs. Ev
ans, Martyn & Geer were called in and
dressed the wounds the left shoulder
and elbow and breast being considera
bly mashed. The fatal wound, however,
was a severe fracture of the back part of
the skull on the left side, being cracked
to the base. His mother asked him if
he wished a drink and he answered
"yes." If so, to put his arms around
her neck and lift himself up, but be
could not tell how the accident happen
ed, and this was all he said. It is
thought that the horse in chasing Hies
must have thrown the boy off on one
side, leaving his foot in the stirrup, and
then tramped him. Had the horse been
shod, the boy wonld doubtless have
been much more bruised than ho was.
The physicians had no hopes of him
from the first, and the crisis, owing to
tho boy's strong constitution, was de
layed thirty-six hours. Clarence was
born August 12, 1882. He was a lad of
many excellent qualities, and will be
sincerely mourned by all his acquaint
ance. To lus ramily, only Divine help
and consolation can be of service in
their timo of mourning. Surely, Life
must be the great fact of the universe.
If so, it necessarily must be that what
wo call death is transition from one
state of existence to another. Let us
believe that our loved ones, who have
disappeared from our mortal sight here,
are in that world where there is no
sickness, pain, sin or death.
There is no death! The ot.tr ko down
To riae upon some fairer shore:
And bright in heaven V jeweled cron
They whine forevermore.
And ever near us, though unseen.
The dear immortal sipiritti tread;
For all the boundless univerae
In life there are no dead.

We find the following item afloat.
Wo don't know anything further than
these conditions. There may be an op
portunity for some of our ladies here
abouts: "Mrs. Hattie N. Bemis of Arabia, Neb.,
owns a large tract of land in northwest
ern Nebraska, which she says she intends
to give to twelve deserving widows of
northwestern farmers. In return she
will require them to cultivate it without
male assistance. She says that she will
start them out with all the machinery
they need, a sufficient number of cattle,
horses, swine and poultry to serve as a
nest egg, and money to last them until
the first harvest can bo disposed of.
She admits that the climate is dry, but
she proposes to instruct her wards in
the operation of the Campbell system of
soil culture, by which method experi
ments have proved that the rainfall of
the section is sufficient to insure boun
tiful crops. The nearest the women will
be allowed to come to dealing with men
is to sell their crops to them. If Mrs.
Bemis should learn that a farm hand of
the male persuasion has been employed
about the premises the farm will revert
to her. Any member of the community
who marries will also forfeit her share
in the property."
Cattle fur Sale.
J. L. Sturgeon fc 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 Bure to sat
isfy yon in a few days at farthest.
They are in the business for good, and
will make business mutually satisfactory.

Monday, a man and dog entered our
sanctum the dog Hopping down under
the table, glad of a rest. The man threw
his pack from his back and handed us a
card reading "Lucien Dufay, Globe trot
ter, Paris, France, representing Le Jour
nal." He is 31 years old and looks good
for his walk uround the globe. He is a
journalist and has a tine medical educa
tion. Ho left the Journal office Jan. 11
and is to be back there in time to partic
ipate in the dedication exercises of the
exposition halls in 1900. He was to leave
without any money, and earn enough on
the route to take him through. He start
ed clad in a suit made of newspapers.
He has had n varied experience, but says
he is enjoying his outing. He averages 35
miles a day. If he gets back on time he
gets forty thousand dollars.

A reference to the time tables will in
dicate tho route to be chosen, and, by
asking any principal agent west of the
Missouri river for a ticket over the
Chicago, Council Bluffs & Omaha Short
Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee A St.
Paul Railway, you will bo cheerfully
furnished with the proper passport via
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
