Mack enzie. Clint Gray last week put his house in telephone communication with the store. He has two long-distance phones of the St. Louis pattern, and can "hello'" to his wife at any time. The Humphrey schools were closed Monday on account of diphtheria. Five cases and one death are reported. Miss Lizzie Sheehen returned to her home to await further developments. We learn that Wm. Meays, sr. and jr., have leased 400 acres of school land in Phelps county and will shortly re move. Ernest Meays has the matter of moving under consideration. -Make a list of things needed during the week, and on Saturday, or any day you do your shopping, call at von Ber gen Bros, and see if they haven't just what you want at a fair living price, tf Jim Frazier met Mr. Ed. Moncrief (formerly county superintendent of public instruction in this county), at Grand Island the other day. He is teaching a country school in Hall county. H. J. Hendryx of Monroe had about thirty acres to corn the past season, under irrigation, and raised 89 bushels and 40 pounds to the acre; he also had 27 acres to celery, using water once every two weeks.

In one case, the would-be robber was chased away; in another, S5 was got by the robbers, and there were three of them. We cannot trace the rumors down to definiteness. One of onr business men carried a notice for a registered letter around in his pocket several days, thinking it was a notice to pay box renL If he is like the ordinary mortal it didn't take him long to find the stamp window after he dis covered his error. The Turner ranch on the Island, for rent on reasonable terms. Apply to J. Meeker, Clo ther House. Assistant Secretary of War Meikle john passed through the city Saturday, east, after a visit to his old home at Fullerton, where the citizens gave him a grand reception. He had been on a tour of inspection of the military posts of the western country. It is now contended by good au thority, what many have claimed for a long time, that the so-called hog cholera is misnamed, and that the disease should be designated typhoid pneumonia. Agents of C M. & St. Paul company have successfully treated 350 head. Four prisoners recently escaped out of what is called the Butler county jail at David City. An investigation revealed that the bolts which had held the fasten ings to the cage door in place bad been driven ont with a punch, the heel of an old shoe being used to deaden the sound. Prosperity is surely here in some shape, or there wouldn't be so many en tertainments, and so well attended. Whea the big show bills were being posted Monday for the Uncle Tom en tertainment next Monday evening, a prominent populist says: "That settles it, prosperity is soraly hare." Bert Wheeler, (son of Major Wheeler of Omaha, nephew of Mrs. H. P. Cool idge of this city), has accepted the clerk ship of the committee on public build ings and grounds of the lower house of congress. He is an expert shorthand reporter. The Turner ranch on the Island, for rent on reasonable terms. Apply to J. Meeker, Clo ther House. It is said that Helen Gould, who is worth about $25,000,000, has entered the law school of Columbia university for the purpose of knowing law enough to protect her property interests without the aid of attorneys, who, she says, are some times expensive and not always scrupu lously faithful. The union Thanksgiving services were held at the Baptist church. Owing to illness, Rev. Hayes was unable to preach the sermon as announced. Rev. Mickel spoke upon the temporal bless ings we enjoy; Rev. Rogers, the spiritual blessings, and Rev. Pulis, the progress of christain sentiment in the earth. The Union Pacific railroad company is among those asking an extension of time in which to equip its freight cars with automatic couplers and power on train brakes, and the inter-state com merce commission has set Dec. 1, 1897, as a date forbearing; the federal law re quires equipment by Jan. 1, 1898. The Platte Center Signal says: "Judge Niemoeller continues to take his regular baths in Shell creek these days. Last Sunday some of his garments were swept into the water by a gust of wind while the judge was enjoying his bath, and when he reached Platte Center his approach made more noise than a freight train." Mr. Stonesifer and the cook at the Vienna restaurant got into an alterca tion the other day and in the police court Mr. Stonesifer plead guilty to dis turbing the peace, and contributed $3 to the school fund; the other man didn't plead guilty and will hare a hearing later along. Our6chool board has developed a pretty good scheme to make each mem Iter fulfil his duty. At a recent meeting of the board it was voted that one mem ber of the board visit the schools each week during the year, the same as last year. If a member fails he is to furnish an oyster supper to the other members of the board and the teachers. Leigh World. Rev. O. A. Elliott, formerly of this city, but now for several years pastor of the Third Presbyterian church of Lin coln, has resigned that position, and next Sunday will preach his initial ser mon as pastor of the Second Presbyte rian church of Beatrice. The Lincoln Journal speaks very highly of Rev. and Mrs. Elliott, and says his resignation can be regarded as little less than a calamity to the congregation. At a special meeting of the city council D. N. Miner was awarded the contract for furnishing materials and canstructing certain sidewalks. By a vote of the council any one can put down a permanent cinder or gravel walk, in lieu of the usual board walk. The bills of policemen at the late election were allowed, but those of the judges and clerks were rejected, because it is thought the county ought to pay them. Rev. Pniis' first sermon of the series of six to young people was delivered last Sunday evening to an exceedingly attentive audience, the theme being, "The Young Man." What he is, what he may be, what he ought to be, were the groups of his discourse, in which were classified the truths and the sug gestions of the theme. It was a sermon such as every young man could profit by. The subject for next Sunday even ing is "The Ideal Girl." Mrs. C. J. Garlow, of Columbus, and Miss Minnie Morgan, of West Virginia, visited with Mrs. J. D. Bowers and fam ily on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday evening a few friends were in vited in to meet the ladies and spend the evening. Mrs. Garlow is very popu lar socially and is besides a very accom plished pianist and songstress and a de lightful evening was spent which was thoroughly enjoyed by all fortunate enough to be present. Schuyler Quill. Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Jaeggi started for their home in Switzerland yesterday, but will stop on their way at St. Louis, Cincinnati, Washington and New York. Mr. and Mrs. A. Jaeggi accompanied them to Omaha. During their stay here the different families of the Becher, Jaeggi & Co. firm entertained them to a firm dinner. Last Wednesday Mr. and Mrs. H. Hockenberger gave a dinner, and Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. L. Jaeggi entertained the gentlemen and their wives. Last week The Journal mentioned the burning of Thomas Dack's beautiful residence in Lost creek township. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is supposed to have caught by sparks from the kitchen stove falling into a basket of cobs left near. The house was valued at 310,000, with an insurance of $5,000 on the building and $500 on the furniture. The house was built in 1891, and furn ished throughout with modern conveni ences. Several valuable paintings were among the losses. The practice of cutting up the corn fields for fodder has many excellent fea tures to commend it. From down in Kansas we hear of a case of corn stalk disease even this early in the season. The fact is, too, that a great many such cases, io our certain knowledge, never get into the papers, so that it may be readily seen that this trouble is much more common and widely extended than a great many people believe. So far the only known means of securing immunity from the corn stalk disease is by absolutely with holding cattle from the stalk fields. With this well established truth in mind, it should stand farmers in hand to con sider well whether in the future they should not lay their plans for a different order of things in the winter feed yards. The corn stalk disease would appear to be one of Nature's peculiar devices for forcing farmers to do for themselves what other and sufficient reasons would sug gest that they do, but which they do not do. At a later date we shall take occa sion to discuss this point more folly. Nebraska Fanner. itraiaam. L Gluck was in Omaha Friday and Saturday. G. F. Rose of Chirks was in the city Saturday. Judge and Mrs. Kilian went to Oma ha Monday. Miss Lucy Martyn came home to spend Thanksgiving. Fred Williams came np from Lincoln to spend Thanksgiving. Miss Ethel Galley came op from Lin coln to visit at home several days. Mrs.A.C. Ballon returned Saturday from a few days' visit in Schuyler. Ed. Hoare and daughter were trans acting business in the city Monday. Miss Laura Ward's father and sister of David City, spent Thanksgiving in the city. Mr. and Mrs. John Horst of Madison were here visiting relatives several days last week. Mr. and Mrs. Whaley and two children of Clarks spent Thursday with Rev. Mickel and family. Miss Esther Johnson returned last week from California, where she has been for several months. Mrs. L. W. Tubbs of Emerson, Isu, was here several days last week, visiting her sister, Mrs. H. P. Coolidge. Mrs. L. W. Tubbs of Emerson, Iowa. sister of Mrs. H. P. Coolidge, returned to her home Tuesday after visiting one week. Cora and Margerie Price of Rapid City, S. D., are making their home for the winter with their grandparents. Rev. and Mrs. S. Goodale. Miss Amy Galley of Creighton came up from Lincoln to spand Thanksgiving with relatives, returning with Miss Ethel Galley to their studies at the university Monday morning. The musical department of the Wo man's club have scored one great suc cess, they have brought one of the greatest living lady pianists here and with great success. The piano recital last Saturday evening by Miss Neally Stevens was one of the greatest events in musical circles. Columbus people too have been privileged. Miss Stevens is one among many lady pianists, her strength of body is perfectly equal to her strength of mind, and she interprets her music, pleasing the most untrained ear. Her execution is wonderfully void of any "mannerism" and gives the im pression to her listeners of one who is thoroughly in love with her art. The vocal solos by Miss Bowman of Omaha were heartily encored which were cheer fully responded to. Mr. Bond played on his cornet a selection from his own composition, which was unfortunately shortened by his not being able to adjust bis instrument to the key of the piano. The ladies feel encouraged, as they well might, having a large appreciative au dience. Rev. Dr. Samuel Goodale returned Friday from a banquet Wednesday even ing last at Chicago of the Psi Upsilon Alumni Association of the northwest. The fraternity was fonuded at Union College, Schenectady, New York, Nov- 24, 1833, with seven charter members. Besides Dr. Goodale (who is now 83 years old) there are three other surviv ing members of the first society. From the time he left his home in this city until he returned he was the guest of the Chicago society numbering some 300 members; each of the plates at the ban quet cost $3, the room provided for him was $6 a day, and he was the guest of honor for the banquet, making the first speech, with far less trepidation doubt less than in his younger years. The fraternity is established in twenty-two of the principal eastern and western colleges, and The Journal expresses the hope that the venerable doctor may long live to bean example to the young er generations as they come forward into careers of usefulness. School Board. A special meeting of the board was called for Monday, at the usual place and hour to consider the resignation of L. H. Leavy, principal of the First ward school, and for the election of his suc cessor. Mr. Leavy's resignation was tendered, to take effect December C. This was accepted by the board, the full number being present, and M. M. Rothleitner elected to succeed him as principal, two ballots being taken first, informal, and on the second, Mr. Roth leitner receiving 4 votes to 2 for Shaft. The applicants were: M. M. Roth leitner, P. E. McCoy and Aug. Wagner of this city; W. M. Finnegan of Harvard; H. D. Sbaff of Kearney; M. I. Church of Humphrey; George F. Rose of Clarks; Charles S. Scranton of Wayne; J. G. Hanpt and Anna Graham of Dakota City; Edward Lundburg of Wakefield; Mrs. M. S. Porter, Silver Creek, W. S. Taylor, Hopkins, W. H. Tedrow of Rns sel, Ia, and W. C. Moyer of Nevada, la. Osceola officials had a fight theotber. day with four tramps who resisted arrest. One was armed with a long piece of iron, another with a knife, and another with a crutch. One of the officers (all of whom were unarmed) got a severe knife wound in the arm and had his scalp laid open by a blow with the cratch, while another had a tooth knocked out. The Record says they are a hard set of toughs from all appearances, too lazy to work, and adds, what is applicable to all other towns, as well as Osceola: "If the town would make a business of putting every one of this gentry who strikes here on the streets to work and feed them on bread and water we would not be trou bled so much. There is no excuse for an able-bodied man in Nebraska being out of work and roaming around the country eleeping in brick yards." Thanksgiving day dawned bright and clear but soon after sunrise a dark and ominous looking cloud began to ap pear in the southeast, and before night there was some snow in the air; however on the whole it was not a cold day for turkey and chicken fixtures. The banks were all closed and business generally suspended, while everybody enjoyed their turkey dinners. Friday, Saturday and Sunday were cold and the top notch was reached Monday morning with the thermometer at 12 below zero. Fine job work done at Thz Journai. Tke Ceatest. P. H. Bender and E. Pohl have, by their attorneys, McAllister & Cornelius, and Woosley & Stires, instituted contest proceedings contesting the election of J. C. Byrnes as eheriff, and G. W. Phil lips as clerk. Judge Kilian has not filed any papers, in contest, and the time-limit for doing , so has passed. The main points in the complaints al lege that the contestants were really elected, and that there were numerous discrepancies in the different townships and wards of the county, making, if dnly proved, change enough in the count to change the result as given by a canvass of the returns. In a contest, it is understood, of course, by our readers, that the ballots themselves are inspected, being the foundation fact of the returns. But, back of the ballots, and the al leged wrongful counting of them for one candidate or the other, is the allegation of fraud in securing the deposit of the ballots, in other words, the "buying of voters;" the "bribing of voters;" the undne influencing of voters," etc., and this is really the important part of the whole matter. Everybody who knows anything at all about electioneering campaigns knows full well that there is scarcely ever a canvass conducted on purely patriotic lines, and it is high time that at least the more flagrant outrages against gov ernment by the free will of the people, be recognized as deadly attacks on our free ' institutions, and the perpetrators be put upon the same plane as those who poison food or drinking water, no matter to what party they may belong. The idea that skillful, unscrupulous, party manipulators for the spoils of office only, should be permitted, unchal lenged, to manipulate and corrupt, or unlawfully influence the two or three hundred voters- who usually constitute the balance of power in Nebraska counties, is repugnant to every sense of right and decency. We do not for a moment think that Platte county ia an exception to any general rule. People here are a good average, to say the least. But, until the recent publication of the findings of the canvassing board, the general public had no notion that there was such a multitude of irregularities in the con duct of the election in Platte county. The right to contest is given by our laws, and only those who are likely to have their meanness or their criminality exposed to public view need be particu larly concerned. The Argus uses a good deal of space to oppose the contest proceedings against Byrnes and Phillips, and takes occasion to abuse the attorneys in the case for the contestants. They are all reputable men, and doubtless what the man who writes such trash for the Argus has to say of them while in the clear line of duty as attorneys, will fall as harmless upon them as water on a duck's back. The contests, if conducted to cover all the frauds there may be found, as well as to right the honest mistakes made in the count, will be worth all it will cost the contestants and others, and more than all that to the future well-being of the countv.

The committee held a meeting this morning and decided to stand pat on the proposition already made the east ern people, which was 350,000 and site for a 500-ton factory. Butler County Press: George Zahler of Reading township arrived home from Rock Springs, Wyo., Monday evening, where he was called on account of the murder of his son-in-law, Charles A. Snyder. Mr. Zahler found the murderer out nnder 81,000 bail. He tried to have the fellow locked up, but the best be could do was to have the bail raised to $2,000. While Mr. Zahler was at Rock Springs a woman was murdered and the same justice who admitted Snyder's murderer to bail was going to allow the murderer of the woman to give bail, but popular indignation was so great that he finally committed the fellow to jail. Mr. Zahler does not entertain a very flattering opinion of Wyoming justice. Cedar Rapids Outlook: The Allerton ranch since last June has shipped in about 300 head of cattle to feed and has shipped out to market since last January about the same number. The cattle feeding business is taking on enormous proportions in Nebraska these days. There is probably no place on earth where it pays better to feed cattle than in Nebraska.
