It has been noted that J. H. Edmis
ton, populist state oil inspector, pur

sheep industry will thrive under the
protective policy. When Nebraska farms
are properly fenced, nearly all will sup
port some sheep, if only as weed-exterminators.
At Clarks they are having an old

returning home, by carriage after the eve
ning services. They report a great meet
ing in progress. It lasts till next Mon
day. Last Saturday Charles Mentzer was
out in his hayfield getting a load of hay.
After the load was on, suddenly flames
started in the hay and soon the wagou
and its load were enveloped in fire. The
team and the wagon tongue were all that
was saved. Mr. Mentzer came into the
city on Monday and purchased another
wagou, as the burned one he had borrow
ed from a neighbor. Just how the fire
started he does not know, nor can he
guess. Schuyler Quill.

Observant teachers have always
noticed the good effects on their pupils
of abundant aud vigorous exercise on
the play ground. Dr. Khron, professor
of physiology of the university of Illin
ois at Champlain, in a recent lecture ex
plained the merits of gymnastics from a
physical point of view. Physical train
ing recommends itself, he said, for the
development of will power, which man
ifests itself by closer attention and
greater strength of memory.

The Chicory company of Schuyler

Europe for the purpose of purchasing
the machinery for a sugar-beet plant for
Srhuyler, and thus our near neighbor is
forging along in the race for business
and permanent prosperity. The sugar
beets and the chicory beets will prove a
much better investment for a town than
in "dead beets." Nebraska soil has
proved itself to be well adapted to the
chicory and sugar varieties.
Already science has sounded matter
far beyond the limits of sense. Hydro
gen is a form of matter, and yet we pour
it through an iron bar as we pour water
through a heap of sand. The cosmic eth
er is matter,and yet it fills our eolid worlds
as if fills the inter-stellar spaces. It is
millions of times more solid than lead,
and trillions of times more elastic than
steel. We move through this adaman
tine something as if it were not. It moves
through us as if we were not. It is a
universe within a universe. Our great
mathemetician, after an excursion into
this realm of ether, supposes that twelve
additional senses would hardly suffice to
place us in conscious relations with the
universe of matter around and within.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gass were taken
by surprise Tuesday evening of last
week. Henry has been one of the sing
ers of the Maennerchor all these years,
but -on Tuesday night, when they came
for him about 9, he tried to beg off,
saying that he was tired and sleepy, and
just about ready to retire. But that
wouldn't do, they had some singing to
do and he must come along and so he
went Mrs. Gass was found at her
daughter's, Mrs. Merz. When they got
to Maennerchor hall, there was a house
full of people, and, it at once dawned
upon Mr. and Mrs. Gass that they were
to be the guests of honor for the even
ing, the twenty-fifth anniversary of their
wedding-day, the first of the kind cel
ebrated by any members of the Maen
nerchor. The ladies of the society bad
provided a fine lunch, to which ample
justice was done. Rev. De Geller made
a very appropriate address to the happy
couple, then there was music and danc
ing until about 2 o'clock, and many of
those present were reminded of like
I occasions in the fatherland. Presents
were numerous.

Presumably, one of the main reasons
why the city council does not have so
many in the audience as the churches
do, is because their exercises are pro
longed far into the night not so late as
the revelers (2 o'clock in the morning),
but too late for the ordinary tax-payer
to sit up aud listen- to, amid the torrent
of words and the smoke of battle (actual,
as well as metaphorical, many times).
At the regular meeting last Friday
evening, Councilman Echols presided in
the absence of Mayor Speice, and, after
the reading of the minutes gave oppor
tunity for citizens present to state their
business with the council.
O. C. Shannon had presented a bill
for preparing a list of I. Gluck's real
estate mortgages, $5, which, it seems,
had been ordered by the council sitting
as a board of equalization.
Mr. Gluck had filed a remonstrance
against the allowance of this bill for the
alleged reason that the making out said
list was done without an order of the
council, the records not showing that
such list had been ordered.
The remonstrance was signed, "I.
Gluck, one of the tax-payers of the city
of Columbus."
Councilman Held said it was his rec
ollection that the board agreed on the
mayor getting some one to make out the
list.
We rather expected that both Mr.
Gluck and Mr. Shannon would quit
pulling at their pipes long enough to
give us their views on the subject in
hand, but only Mr. Gluck spoke, when
the time came. His speech was short,
but full of fire. He claimed that the
acts of the mayor, as against himself,
from beginning to end, were persecu
tion. He with others had been cited to
appear before the board of equalization
on the 8th of June. An examination
was had and all were excused. But this
did not satisfy this greatest of Platte
county tax-eaters, G. B. Speice, for
reasons best known to himself
alone, he continues his persecu
tion; through greed, spite and
malice, he takes the matter before
the board of supervisors. They knock
it out. Mr. Speice is not yet satisfied.
He orders Pohl to make an abstract of
the proceedings had beforo the board.
There is no record to show that the
council ordered this. The persecution
continues because G. B. Speice. the
greatest tax-eater and tax-shirker of the
county is not yet satisfied. Mr. Gluck
said that Shannon had earned his
money all well enough, but he didn't see
why tho city should pay him, when
there was no record to show that the
mayor had been authorized to have the
work done.
But Lehman moved the allowance of
the bill, Held seconded it aud the
council adopted the motion.
St. Francis Academy.
The Journal book printing depart
ment has just finished a large number of
neat catalogues for this institution of
learning, and a few of the salient facts
of its history will be interesting to many
Journal readers.
The institution was founded in 1SS2,
and is now under the general supervis
ion of Very Reverend Father Marcelli
nus. Sister Josepha has been in charge
of the school from the beginning, and
Sister Agnes has been the principal of
the music department -also from the
beginning of the school.
They have been wonderfully success
ful, and especially so in the management
of the youth, who have boarded nt the
institution.
This success has been evidenced by
the increased number of pupils, aud the
erection of additions to the original
building until it now has 17,500 square
feet of flooring.
In all matters there is a subordination
of self on the part of teachers to the
object of the institution, which is de
clared to be "to afford parents an oppor
tunity of securing for their children a
practical Christian education at terms
so low as to be available to all."
The Sixteenth Scholastic year opens
September 1, 1897.
One of the important jobs ahead of
the farmer at this time is that of pre
paring for and putting in the crop of
winter wheat. It has been evolved from
a multitude of experiences that the best
time to break ground for this crop is
just as soon as it can be done after the
harvesting season is past. It has also
been demonstrated that a good harrow
ing once a week from that time to seed
ing time early in September serves to
subjugate all weed growth as well as to
compact the top soil until capillary
attraction is again fully established be
tween the 6oiI and subsoil. Being bro
ken early the ground becomes a solid
and model seed bed by seeding time.
Of course this being the day of improved
machinery it is to be supposed that the
farmer will avail himself of every advan
tage offered. Neb. Farmer.
To the above we may add that in this
locality experience has proved that the
force-feed drill is the best implement
for putting the seed into the soil it can
be placed a good depth; the immediate
soil above is packed close to the seed
grain by the wheel that follows the tube;
not a single grain need be "thrown to
the birds." And one of the very best
things in regard to the drill is that its
proper and economical use requires that
the seed bed be in perfect condition
what it ought to be anyhow. The more
extensive use of the drill will be thou
sands of dollars in the pockets of Ne
braska farmers. We know of one drill
that at a low rate of rental to those in
the neighborhood who need it, has thus
paid for itself more than once to its
owner.
Saturday night week Creston had a
fire scare, an attempt having been made
to burn the residence property of J. C.
Cookns, occupied by T. E. Stevene. The
blaze was discovered and the fire sub
dued before much damage was done.
Loss $23. It is thought that if the fire
bad not been discovered until fifteen
minutes later, at least half the business
houses of the place would have been
burned down. Suspicion seemed to
point to two men giving their names as
Chambers and Luches, claiming to re
side at Stanton. They were arrested by
Sheriff Kavanaugh at Stanton. So we
gather from the Leigh World.

N. D. Wilsou of Platte Center was
in the city Sjiturday, and gave The
Journal sanctum a call. He informs
us that he is still in the race for sheriff,
subject to the action of the republican
convention. Mr. Wilson is not one of
those men who make their living by
politics; he believes in every man ex
pressing his will at the primaries, and in
a convention nominating the man whom
they consider not only competent, but
best available for the interests of the
party he is for the time being to repre
sent. The Journal does not make a
practice of advocating the claims of men
for party nominations; we are interested
first in the grand principles of the re
publican party, and, secondly, that the
men who are put forward as etandard
bearers in the advocacy of our princi
ples shall themselves be thoroughly
imbued with the spirit of our free insti
tutions, and in full and hearty accord
with the wishes and designs of the rank
and file of the party, and men whom tho
party cannot only vote for, but willingly,
heartily and enthusiastically look up to
and work for as honest, able and repre
sentative republicans.

Nebraska Finances.
All of Nebraska's moneyed men (and
there are a number of them) are sur
prised at the amount of indebtedness
that is being liquidated. Come to think
back over it, they need not be surprised.
Fix it so that there would be absolute
security for deposits no danger at all
but that money placed with the banks
would be sure to bo there when de
manded by depositors and tho surprise
would be still greater.
During the panicky times, we knew of
a bank in a small Nebraska town that
for quite a number of days had to wit
ness a withdrawal of 31,000 a day of its
deposits simply because, of course, the
owners of the money did not wish to
risk its further use by the bank. They
regarded it safer at home under their
inkividual care. This money had all
been in hiding from then until it was
pretty evident that McKinley would be
nomiuated; then more came into view
when his election was assured, and it
has been increasing in volume over since.
Now, a goodly number of people nro
acting upon the principle that the best
use for money is to pay debts..
Probably Nebraska was never in bet
ter standing in the business world than
she is at this hour, notwithstanding her
adverse experience with Mosher, Bart
ley, Moore and Holcomb, and notwith
standing the fact that counties, here and
there, havo suffered loss by reason of tho
shortcomings of officials.
This has been a prosperous year with
Nebraska, aud mainly so because her
people are determined to do the fair
thing. Of course the state administra
tion is not what it ought to be, is far
from what it might have been, had
proper counsels been heeded, but we
shall pull through all right.
Nebraska securities are gilt-edged.
Nebraska farm lands are in demand.
Nebraska business enterprises are be
ing organized, fostered, enlarged and
conducted on progressive lines of hope,
with substantial encouragement.
The money that was withdrawn in
great quantities two years ago from the
banks for lack of confidence in the gen
eral situation, is being put hack because
of confidence (not in Governor Holcomb
and his crew), but in the general hitna
tion under McKinley, tho protective
tariff and the Good Providence in gen
eral, which "helps them that help them
selves." Keal Ustate 1 ransfer.
