The commission of postmaster at

would deduct 50 cents an acre on the

Deputy Becher of the county treas
urer's office informs The Jotjbxai. that
delinquent taxes are being paid up
pretty rapidly. That is well. It is un
derstood that the resolution passed by
the county board, in regard to the col

personal taxes, means business, and
must be carried out by the collectors,
whether agreeable or otherwise.
The Nebraska Central Irrigation
company have purchased the well-known

samples of apples grown under irrigation

weighing as high as fifteen ounces.
The Wesleyan Quartette gave a very
interesting program at the opera house
Monday evening, to a well-filled house.
Every number on the program was
encored and responded to with pleasing
selections. L W. Kenagy, the reader,
gave one of Biley's poemn and for an
encore recited Bixby's "Come into the
Woodshed, my Honey." which the audi
ence received with applause. The whist
ling solo by G. J. Ireland was excellent.
The doctors have advised the Tele
gram editor to keep absolutely quiet for
some weeks and indulge in nothing of an
excitable nature. If any of the news

must also keep quiet, they will doubtless

the spirited manner in which the office
ghost will answer their articles. It is
best not to presume too much either on
Mr. Parks following the advise of his
doctors.
It does seem a little strange that in
the sewer ordinance, as published, the

supposes that the projectors will know
better when they complete their plant
what th& rates should be and will then
fix them so as to be just and reasonable

There is an effort being made to
saddle the calling of a grand jury upon
County Attorney O'Brien. It is not
generally understood otherwise than
that, if the judge thinks advisable or
necessary, he can call a grand jury. We
believe there is nothing in our laws
which prevents any citizen, cognizant of
a crime, of making complaint and having
prosecution made, without waiting the
call of a grand jury. We believe that
Mr. O'Brien is inclined to do the right
as he sees it.
J. E. Kellogg, an old resident of
Bellwood, Butler county, and whose
form used to be a familiar figure on the
streets of Columbus, in the years before
the name Bellwood was thought of, died
recently of the effects of a paralytic
stroke. As the Gazette says: "He was
a man who loved and trusted his friends,
and was in torn loved by them because
he was a very amiable, sincere man;
quiet in his ways, and generous. He was
one of Butler county's pioneers, and has
had strong influence among his neigh
bors and friends."
There were fifty present at roll call
Saturday evening when the Sons of Vet
erans commemorated the anniversary of
Lincoln's birthday. A program had been
arranged by a committee which included
prayer by Rev. MickeL speaking by com
rades Galley, Spoerry, Rossiter, Funk
and Miner. All talked about oar mar
tyred president. The program was clos
ed by Miss Mae King, who recited Lin
coln's favorite poem, "Why Should the
Spirit of Mortal be Proud?" in an able
and very pleasing manner, bringing forth
considerable applause. Sapper being
announced at 10:15 by brother John Tan
nahill, the committee of Sons who were
to serve as waiters began to harry beck

in the good things to est, of which there
was plenty and to spare. However,

Columbus is to have a permanent
brass band, it seems. An organization
has been instituted with E. von Bergen
as president and Gay Fox as secretary.
Eighteen young men have signified their
intention to join, and they require only
three instruments in addition to those
already owned by the membership. Com
mittees have been appointed and it is
intended to perfect the organization at
once. The next meeting is to be held at
Firemen's hall, Friday evening of this
week. Good enough. Now give them
all reasonable, substantial encourage
ment. The Journal hears of a farmer who
bought cattle on a contract to get so
much a ponnd for what he should add
to their weight. It so happened that he
fed all the corn and all the hay he had
raised daring the last season, besides
that fed to his home live stock. The
cattle increased but a hundred pounds
each and he was called upon to put up
$19 to pay out the freight bill to market
at South Omaha. The cattle then went
as feeders to another person, nnder a
contract suited to the varying circum
stances but loaded, doubtless, like dice
for falling in one direction only. There
are very few of them that are going to
get current market prices for grain and
hay fed this winter, on contract.

Last week L Glnck released $5,000
of chattel mortgages, the obligations
having been paid. He has had thous
ands of dollars tendered him by banks
for use in sub-letting, but he refuses to
accept, because people are paying their
old debts instead of contracting more,
until they can see their way clear out of
the timber that has been more or less
crowded with underbrush the last few
years. The inclination, nay, the firm
determination now is. with many at
least, to get out of debt and keep out,
Some of a more speculative disposition
are thinking of making no new debts
except as a very last resort. The old
Quaker's advice to his son John is
very applicable to the present sitnation:
"John, you are just starting out for
yourself, and I wish to give you a piece
of advice, which is. in brief. Pay as you
go." "But what it I can't pav?" "Don't
go."

Nearly all the rooms in the city
schools celebrated Lincoln's birthday
Friday, by a special program befitting
the occasion. And, by the way, you
don't know what you miss in not visiting
the schools more. The programs given
by any of the rooms are, considering all
things, as interesting as any literary club
could get up. The value of music being
taught in the schools is shown here to
excellent advantage, the younger chil
dren learning new songs with astonish
ing rapidity. The infant rooms always
expect some extra treat in the way of
work on Friday afternoons, and last
Friday Mrs. Erindley had all the boys
bring their pocket knives and a piece of
soft pine wood to do some wood carving.
A spade was chosen as the subject for
the artistic skill and if you don't believe
children six years old have powers of
observation just look at some of those
spades.
Some things can happen just as well

commission merchants of South Omaha
are hereby advised by this scribe to

kinds of living animals that are the sub

cated by the following letter, advance
from the live stock department, and
institute a packing-house system the
country over for little game and farm
poultry, and do for that branch what the
big packers have been doing for sheep,
hogs and cattle. It will pay big from
the beginning. The letter is addressed
to Charles H. Vanalstine, who is working
for the above-named firm. He don't
send as the letter, that comes by The
Journal's grapevine line; we omit the
writer's name. He is a Nebraska lad,
doubtless, and knows that the nucleus
to wealth is the knowledge of what be
can supply that the public will buy and
pay him well for:

John Byrnes, the new county sheriff,
and Miss Lena Gietzen. Two little
pages, Jerome Fitzpatrick and Arthur
Bates, led the wedding party up the

ring on a satin pillow. The bride fol
lowed, leaning on the arm of her father.
The bridesmaid. Miss Anna Gietzen
coming after, alone. At the altar they
weremetby the groom and his best
maayMr. Will Browner, who came from

formed the ceremony, Sister Agnes

wore a beautiful dress of white silk
under chiffon and carried bride roses
while Miss Anna Gietzen wore pink silk
under white organdy. After the cere
mony, a wedding breakfast was served
by the bride's mother, to relatives only.
The ladies musical, of which Miss
Gietzen is a member, attended the wed
ding in a body. A great many beanti

Passengers going east for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago as the
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives in the
eastern states always desire to "take in
Chicago en route. All clashes of passen
gers will find that the "Short Line" of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way, Tia Omaha and Council Bluffs,
affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in a manner that will be
sore to give the utmost satisfaction.
A reference to the time tables will in
dicate the 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 & St.
Paul Railway, yon will be cheerfully
famished with the proper passport via
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in
Chicago in ample time to connect with
the express trains of all the great through
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
For additional particulars, time tables,

Osceola Record: Anthrax, or black
leg as it is commonly known, enema to
be epidemic in the state. Not oalyin
this locality but from a good many other
places reports come of cattle dying from
this dread disease. Out of a herd of 160
J. H. Mickey has lost two, and J. I.

wisely concluded to have their herds

David City Press: Sheriff Ben was
called over in the bluffs Sunday night
about midnight to look after a gang of
tramps who had taken possession of a
school house and refused to get- out.
Tho bums had been holding a revelry
there for several nights and had terro
rized the neighborhood. They were big,
burly fellows, but. after sizing up Sheriff
Ben, made no resistance. As no one
would appear against them, the sheriff
did not deem it advisable to lock them
up, and thereby cause unnecessary ex

Fremont Tribune: A man named
John Lee, living north of this city,
brought in a beaver today that he trap
ped by the Elkhorn. It is one of the
largest beavers seen in this section of
the country for some time, measuring
about four feet from tip to tip. The
animal was very poor when caught bnt
it weighed about fifty pounds. It is safe
to say that it would tip the scales at
eighty pounds if it had been in good
condition. It was evidently an old
timer, and had lost a fore foot, probably
the result of previous acquaintance with
traps. Lee also brought in a big otter
the other day, trapping it at about the
same place.
Genoa Leader: Prof. Lord tendered
his resignation to the school board the
last of the week, but the parents of the
coming graduates subscribed 85 per
month and the board raised his salary $5
per month in consideration of which he
consented to remain the balance of the
year Our Genoa gold miners have
been exhibiting some rich looking speci
mens of quartz, this week, which is
claimed was taken from their Colorado
gold mice. The Leader hopes they have
struck it rich out there, but have been
skeptical in regard to gold mine invest
ments ever since 82 when a piece of
yellow looking quartz induced some
friends of ours to invest several thousand
dollars in gold mine stock. It ia still
invested.
