H. Galley and W. M. Cornelius
took a trip by rail last week to Fuller
ton and a half day's journey beyond by
buggy, losing their way for a while on
the steep hills, in the deep gulches, and
among the tall weeds, but making it fin
ally just in time to catch the train at
Fullerton on their return. The country
is carrying an immense crop and is very
fair to see.
The defect of American education
is not that it imparts its benefits to too
many people, but that it seeks to cram
too many branches of instruction into
the period which the great majority of
children are able to devote to their
schooling. The result is a superficial
instruction that is not remarkable when
called into requisition in practical life.

The Norfolk Journal, can't see how
the Salvation Army blocks up the street
any more than some fakir who sells
electric belts or headache medicine and
literally robs people of their money.
The only difference seems to be that the

of skinning people, while the Salvation
Army has no license to make it hot for
the devil on the streets of Norfolk.
The game of base ball here Thurs

have died during the time, and the
claims have been allowed under the
management of the fourth firm the en

In a late number of the Argus the
impression was endeavored to be con
veyed that Senator Allen, by writing a
letter to Baker Post G. A. Kf of this
city, had so encouraged the old veterans
in regard to pensions that they had con
cluded to preserve their organization,
instead of disbanding, also to turn the
matter of the letter to political, account,
wresting it entirely from the evident
purpose of the senator himself, who
may well ask to be delivered from his
fool friends.
Thursday evening Mr. King, brother

Alarm far Test
Tuesday evening last week Qhief Bert
Galley, after consulting with other city
authorities in the matter, ordered the
fire alarm given for the purpose of evi
dencing to State Fire Insurance Inspec
tor Hartmann the strength of our pro
tection against fire, in order that the
rate of insurance may be lowered in the
city a very desirable consideration,
surely, to business men, who psy a
pretty heavy percentage on the value of
their buildings and stock, for insurance
against loss by fire.
The inspector was desirous of seeing
actual work, and expressed a wish to
have the old hose of the department
tested by a 70-pound pressure.
At 7:15 the alarm waa given both by
whistle and bell, and Hose Co. No. 1
made a run of four blocks, laid 750 feet
of hose and got water in four and a half
minutes, all told; Co. No. 2, a run of two
and a half blocks, 600 feet of hose, five
minutes; the W. Y. Bissell Co. four and
half blocks, 400 feet of hose, five snd a
fourth minutes; Pioneer Hook & Ladder
Co. made the run of four and a half
blocks in four minutes Inspector Hart
man noting these facts.
In all there were 1,750 feet of hose
laid, the old hose was tested at a pres
sure of 110 pounds, water was thrown in
fine shape and the inspector was evi
dently well pleased with the exhibit
Chief Galley and his force deserve the
hearty thanks of those who pay fire in
surance for this demonstration of the
city's ability to fight fire, and thus
strengthening the argument for a low
ering of the rates.'

Ellis Brown and Dennis Sullivan
returned Friday from their two weeks'
trip to Hot Springs, Herman, Hayward,
Rapid City, Deadwood, Lead City, etc.
At Long Pine they met Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Rowe, and at Rapid City, Frank
Cannon. The Black Hills country seems
to be very rich with gold, but mining is
not carried on very extensively, seem
ingly because of the controlling syndi
cates that are biding the time when
small holders will be frozen out. It is
predicted that then the Black Hills will
prove to be wonderfully productive in
gold. A visit to the famous Wind cave
was one of the incidents of the trip. It
is 12 miles from Hot Springs. You first
descend a shaft of 400 feet There have
been explored 97 miles of cave, and new
explorations are made every winter.
There are now 2,500 different rooms, the
longest being ten to twelve miles in
length. There is always a breeze either
inward or outward, no matter what the
weather outside may be. The cave is
supposed to be an extinct geyser, and
the mountain is called a sponge moun
tain. Henry T. Spoerry believes that
when crowds of people are to throng
along any streets of the city, the officials
ought to see to it that those streets are
well sprinkled so as to avoid the annoy
ance and inconvenience of the dust.
Such days as Saturday and Sunday
were too hot to be compelled to swelter
and suffocate behind closed windows and
doors, in order that the clouds of dust
might be kept out of the houses. Why
the taxpayers should put up $170.00 per
month for the pay of policemen, and
then be subjected to such treatment, he
does not know. There was not a sprink
ler run on Seventh street during all of
last week, and yet the policemen allowed
men to drive teams for pay on Sunday
contrary to the law of God and man.
If Mr. Spoerry had his way, evidently
there would be some attempt, at least,
at the enforcement of Sunday laws.
The county treasurers here and
there are publishing their semi-annual
statements of collections and disburse
ments of public money. The half-year
closes with June 30, 1897. To be sure it
is now a month after time better late
than never. Obeying the requirements
of law is the only safe practice for offi
cials. Publicity in all that concerns
the interest of the public, is the best
safeguard for all concerned. The
thoughtful tax-payer of Platte who has
no special axe to grind will feel like
strongly commending the official, who
is not only desirous of doing his full
duty under the law, but who actually
does do it
Lawrence Lee, son of C. H. Lee
formerly of Silver Creek, met his death
Tuesday of last week while bathing in
the river at Norfolk. Two of his younger
brothers were with him at the time, and
they say he started to swim down
stream, but immediately went under.
Four hours afterwards the body was re
covered, when a careful examination de
veloped the fact that his death was due
to heart failure. The remains were taken
to Silver Creek for interment The
young man was a graduate of Doane
college at Crete, and was about to enter
upon the atudy of law. His mother,
when a young lady, was a teacher in our
public schools Miss May Lawrence.
A movement originating with the
farmers of New York state -seeks to se
cure loans on farmB at reduced rate of
interest from that now obtainable, and
on more satisfactory terms. The pres
ent method in vogue is to take two
mortgages, a first for the amount loaned,
and bearing, say 6 per cent interest; the
second to cover fees and expenses of the
loan broker, etc. The first mortgage is
negotiated sold to eastern capitalists
or investor, and sometimes, when large,
finding its way to the capitalists of Eu
rope. As we understand it, the farmers
of New York purpose to become their
own brokers.
Henry T. Spoerry, guardian for the
minor children of Fredoline Luchsin
ger, evidenced his usual energy and
promptness in matters of trust, in se
curing to the orphans nnder his charge
the benefit of the pension law. The
four get the $8 a month their father re
ceived, and, in addition, each one is to
have $2 a month until they are 16 years
old; one continuing to Jan. 1, 1898; one
to May 5, 1890, and two to Dec 5, 1893.
There were no attorney fees on this

Gold Ib Nebraska.
Just as we went to pres3 last week we
received word from the gold-bearing
gravel beds 17 miles west of Milford. J.
STDillenbeck had provided himself with
a small smelter. He shipped some of
his bullion to a firm in St. Louis, and
received the following answer: "Please
find enclosed statement of your ship
ment of . twenty-three pounds of
bullion to us, and also of the last 25.5
pounds, which we trust will be entirely
satisfactory. This shows the ore to run
from $8 per ton up, which gives suffi
cient value to pay to treat the ore. You
will please find enclosed statement
showing a balance due you of 315.86, for
which you will please find check en
closed. According to your statement in
sending your last bullion, you ran
through about 4000 pounds. If this be
true, it shows your ore to be worth
$15.75 per ton. In treating your ores in
the small smelters, there is a loss of at
least 10 per cent, so that you can add
about 10 per cent to the value of the
ores, as given by us, and you will have
the value of the ores as nearly as can be
given. We see no reason why your ores
cannot be treated on a large scale and
with profit." Next, J. B. Jeffers says he
talked with a man from Pleasantdale
who says that Dillenback is a reliable
farmer, has sunk a shaft 20 feet to the
pay gravel and that he began work in
earnest Monday of this week. He esti
mates that under some of the single
acres of his farm there are $1,000,000 in
gold.

Last sammer an Otoe county farmer
held an invoice of his situation and
found that all he had with which to
provide winter supplies, clothing, food,
etc., for his large family, and to show
for his summer's work was 4,000 bushels
of corn, says the Nebraska Farmer. Ten
to twelve cents per bushel would not do
for him, nor let him out. He went up
to the South Omaha stock yards and
presented his case so plainly that he was
E smutted to drive to his home 101
ead of steers. These he cared for until
the last of January when bis 4,000 bush
els of corn was gone. The steers look
ing fat and sleek were shipped to Chi
cago and a good price paid for them.
After paying first cost at Omaha, inter
est, and all other expenses, this man
found that he had realized on bis 4,000
bushels of corn 52 1-8 cents net per
bushel, besides having on hand a car
load of fat hogs and a lot of the richest
kind of fertilizers to distribute over bis
farm.
It becomes the farmer, however, to be
very cautious as to what kind of con
tract he makes with the stock yard's
loaning company for the use of money
and the sale of the fatted cattle. The
farmer should help himself in all ways
and watch out for No. 1, as against all
other numbers.
The Picsic.
The picnic Saturday and Sunday, we
are informed, was conducted in accord
ance with the published program, the
chief amusement being dancing.
Of the prizes offered by J. P. McFann,
manager, the Swiss American band was
awarded the first prize, $20; the Farmer
Boys' of Shell Creek second, 815; the
Meridian third, $10.
There was a good deal of gratification
expressed by listeners, not only over the
work done and improvement made by
the bends, under the leadership of Mr.
McFann, but also of the Young Men's
orchestra, under the instruction of Mr.
Gores.

The Two Aratfes.
As a non-partisan, occasional visitor of
the services on the streets and in the
halls, by the Volunteers of America and
the Salvation Army, I think this method
of worship is in perfect harmony with
American laws and the spirit of our in
stitutions. When this country was freed from the
rule of the English a hundred twenty
years ago, the qusetion was agitated
which organization should be recognized
as the state church. The question was
settled under President Jefferson, and
was settled right. No particular church
was adopted, but all are to enjoy freedom
of worship.
The Salvation Army is an outgrowth of
the church, and the Volunteers are an
outgrowth of the Salvation Army.
Church history is full of dissent, pro
test and withdrawal. Moses parted from
his Egyptian, guardian mother and went
to herding sheep. He was promoted to
the position of first leader of the Jewish
race. Christ parted from the church of
the Pharisees and Scribes, and became
the great leader of all the churches and
mediator for mankind. Paul parted
from the apostolic organization, after
having a quarrel with Peter, and became
the great apostle of the Gentiles. Luther
parted from the Catholic church and his
followers consider him to be the greatest
reformer of the Sixteenth century. Wes
ley parted from the High church of En
gland and deserves the title "Father of
Methodism." So the Volunteers of Am
erica, after parting from the Mother or
ganization, may at some future day over
shadow the greatness and usefulness of
its mother, the Salvation urmy. "There
is room at the top." This old saying may
be applied here as well as anywhere.
Jeans Christ not only preached in the
markets of the cities and villages, in the
wilderness and on the mounts, but he also
looked after the sick, and here is where
the Volunteers would find a large field
for valuable labor, by adopting deacon
work. The people would highly appre
ciate and reward Buch work, and the sen
timent would grow so that we would not
only hear the shouting on the streets,
"God bless you," when a penny is drop
ped into the hat for a song, but we would
also hear the voice of the people "God
bless the Volnnteersr

Schools Ib the SaaiBier Time.
Would it not be a good thing if a large
proportion of the children between six
and eighteen, especially in the cities,
were in school instead of on the street
during the summer? If school work is
not made too hard, is there any reason
other than custom for pupils suspending
their work for one-fourth of the year?
Even if the above is not admitted, would
it not be an advantage to pupils to be
able to attend at any time of the year
which is most convenient? Would not
the adoption of the quarter instead of the
year as the unit in grading also be of
great advantage not only to irregular
pupils, but to exceptionally quick and
exceptionally slow children, who now
have to advance or fall behind a whole
year at a time? Prof. Kirkpatrick, in
American Monthly Review of Reviews

Herman Herring is one of the success
ful fishermen. Saturday evening he was
trying his luck again, and on bis return
Sunday morning he left a half a bnrlap
sack full of fish where ye scribe got to
presB his teeth into them to his satis
faction. The old school house was moved from
its foundation last week, and placed
partly in the Btreet, where it is occupied
by James Pearsall, the contractor for
the building of the new house, the foun
dation of which is now laid, and the
material on the ground for the erection
of the new building.
One day last week, says James Pear
sall, I saw standing in a pond of water
to their sides, not far from the school
house, some milch cows surrounded by
a dock of young ducks that were catch
ing and eating Hies from the bodies of
the cows, feasting, as it were, and the
cows chewing their cuds but not moving
a limb to scare away the Hies.
Fred Stenger proposes to plant 80
acres of winter wheat this fall. In 1894
Mr. Stenger rented land to three of his
neighbors in 30-acre lots, and for an in
ducement to the farmers, offered a new
hat as a premium to the renter who
would get the best crop of wheat. Mr.
Currie, Mr. Griffin and Drinnin were the
competitors, when Joe Drinnin raked in
the honor with an average of 7 plus
bushels to the acre.
