It seems that the post-office robbers that on a Sunday evening recently en tered the Genoa post-office, caught the postmaster, tied his hands behind his back, twisted an apron and tied it over his mouth, then robbed the place of some $430, some of which belonged to the postmaster individually.

Ib the head-end collision of a pas senger and a freight train near Chadron Monday, in which many loaded cars were wrecked, Howard A. Rowe, mail clerk, well known in this and Colfax county, who was lying on a cot in his car, had a narrow escape. The tank of the engine cut off an entire side of the car opposite where he was lying and deluged him with water, but he escaped uninjured. J. H. Galley has a new stove at his store one of the kind that takes in cold air near the floor, heats it in a series of upright tubes inclosed in a jacket sur rounding the fire box, and rushes it out heated at the top, when the fire blazes inside. The 6tove is constructed on the principle that the heated air rises to the ceiling and spreads to the walls, and, cooling, descends to the floor, and thence is drawn to the pipes by the heated cur rents rising in tho tubes. A correspondent asks the Musical Herald, "Why could not one practice on a dumb violin, as well as on a dumb piano?" The answer struck us all in a heap and is so good that we must share it with Journal readers. "We are unan imous and several votes to spare in favor of your proposition. Ob! what possi bilities float in upon our anticipatedly rested brain as we contemplate your in spired suggestion. Dumb pianos, dumb violins, dumb cornets, dumb organs, dumb drums, dumb husky voices, dumb chest-tones up in the top of the head, dumb everything to be used in technical practice! If there is any chance of this we shall proceed to tear out of our book the much felt hymn I would not live alway.' Life will take on new charms and even old age bloom as youth, provided the dumb stop doesn't suddenly get out of order and decline to work." In a California town the question is being raised, which has been somewhat mooted elsewhere, as to whether the city owns and has a right to control the trees along the sidewalk, or whether they belong to the owner of the adjacent lands. "A long line of palms on Blaine street," says, the Riverside News, "has just been ruined, so far as beauty is concerned, for all winter, by cutting the leaves off to line with the adjoining ditch. Our street teees are the most prominent element in the beauty of Riverside, and it is unsafe to leave their care to those who see no use for the palms but to grow fronds to cover hay stacks or stop water-cutting, nor for the pepper and eucalyptus but to help out the winter's woodpile. The Trustees fonnd a way to stop unnecessary mutila tion of the street trees by corporations. They will have to turn their attention now to individuals who insist that the trees belong to them to do with as they please." From Leigh there comes to all the boys a suggestion well worth remem bering, and profiting by on occasions of frolic. When sport, whose essential characteristic is good will, descends to any of the degrees of ill-will, it becomes more or less dangerous to all that we value, whether life or character. The World says: Several boys were at the Nye & Schneider lumber yards where Walter Nowers, a youth of some 15 or 16 years, who was in the crowd, was accidentally shot by Ed. Fisher, another of the crowd. Ed. had just appeared on the" scene and Walter with the other bovs were hiding behind one of the lumber sheds. Ed. thought to scare them and pulled up his gun and fired around the corner of the building where the boy6 were. Walter was standing within a few feet of the gun's muzzle and re ceived the charge, which was only pow der and a wad, in the face. The wad struck him on the nose and glanced and struck the right eye. The boy went at once to Allen's drug store and Dr. Cain was summoned to his assistance. The injury was found to be quite a severe one and inflicted intense pain upon the lad. He was confined to his bed several days and required close attention. The eye appeared to be crushed at first and it was thought the sight was destroyed. Dr. Cain tells us, however, that there is little doubt but what the eye can be saved. intHmniiiHUffraiiHiii Strsonal Jnention.

David City Press: Last Saturday, C. W. Derby, sheriff of Butler county, by his attorneys, Sheesley ..v. Aldrich, com menced two libel suits in the district court, asking damages to eacii cose of $."000. Ono is against Matt Bosch of Savannah township. The petition in the case, stripped of legal verbiage, charges that on or about October 24, 1897, Besch uttered and circulated a re port that Sheriff Derby arrested parties who tiro guilty of stealing hogs of Besch and that the sheriff settled with the thieves for a money consideration and let them go. The other case is against C. P. Knutzen, dealer in general mer chandise at Bellwood. Mr. Knutzen is charged with circulating a report on or about October 2J), 1897, to the effect that the only interest Sheriff Derby had in looking into the Frank Houser matter was in order to "pull Houser's leg." Theso matters all grow out of the cam paign just closed. While we know nothing about the merits of the cases we will suggest that if every man who lied during the campaign should bo sued it would take up the time in the district court for several years to try tho cases. Tub election of Judge Sullivan to the supreme bench leaves a vacancy in the Sixth judicial district that the governor must fill by appointment, and he will find no lack of timber from which to select.

There are others, but one of the "big four" will probably be chosen unless the governor sees fit to smile upon a demo crat, in which party there are but two lawyers likely to bo considered. One is W. N. Hensley of Columbus; the other E. J. Fhelps of Schuyler. From thi- array of U-kh1 "fat'A Must Silas rluoea faoixl bn.
