who preaches his last sermons to the
church as their pastor, on next Sabbath.

develop merit, and meritorious work
wins all the battles that ought to be
fought and won in the struggles against
imperfect conditions.
We were shown a picture this week
of Bert and Arthur Arnold who bad a
largo "Jew fish" siting on a pole, the
pole resting on their shoulders and the
fish nearly dragging the ground. Al.
Arnold and some others whom we did
not know were also shown in the picture.
The fish still had the hook in his gill,

The following is a copy of a bulletin
received here at 9 o'clock" Tuesday morn
ing: "Senate resolution won both
houses. Both houses passed the Cuban
bill at an early hour this morning, re
cognition of the republic stricken out,
and the United States disclaiming any
intention of acquiring Cuba. Senate 42

president at once and will go to the

him without doubt"
Mrs. Chris Lutjens, living about
twelve miles north of the city in Shell
Creek township, died Satnrday after
noon aged about 70 years. Some two
years ago she was stricken with paraly
sis, and since that time her health has
been very poorly, she being confined to
her bed most of the time. Saturday she
suffered a second stroke, which, though
light, resulted fatally in a few hours,
her system being too weak to withstand
it. She leaves, beside the husband, a
grown up family, nearly all of whom re
side in this county. The funeral was
held Tuesday.
The Knollin Live Stock Co. shipped
out the last of the sheep they had been

abandon this point, and will have a man
looking after their interests here and
expect to commence to fill the yards
again about the first of September, and
will do as large a business next year as
they did last The improvements they
have made are all permanent and they
intend to keep this place as one of their
feeding points.
Charlie Pearsall came out from
Omaha early Friday morning on the
Denver special, made some hurried ar
rangements, and left at 9 o'clock again
for Omaha, from where he was going on
to Washington, D. C, representing the
U. S. marshal for this district (Nebraska
and South Dakota) in the department of
justice. He will spend some ten days at
the canitol, and will no doubt be there
during a very exciting time. Owing to
other matters of importance, the mar
shal could not attend to this business,
and Mr. Pearsall was selected from a
number of deputies as the man for this
work.
Israel Gluck is the kind of a man to
have around. He bought the McAllis
ter business lot third door east of The
Journal office the other day, and started
to work right away clearing the ground
for a new brick house. The lumber in
the old building probably cost seven
hundred dollars originally, and might
have been turned to good advantage by
Mr. Gluck in a new building, but he lets
somebody else have a bargain we be
lieve disposing of it for 40. A one
story brick, 20x75 goes up on the lot
Mr. Gottschalk says he will unite in a
brick wall if he can lease a building for
five years.
Mrs. Sauer received a letter from
her son Max, Friday, who is in Chicago,
stating that he had enlisted in the ser
vice of the United States navy for two
years. Max will be remembered by the
Columbus people as a good smart lad,
and worked at the electric light plant
here a few years ago. While there he
gained some knowledge of the business,
and for the last few years has been
working on the dynamos and light de
partment of one of the large lake steam
ers plying between Buffalo and Dnluth.
We did not learn in what department he
had enlisted, but he said in his letter
that he would write again soon. We
will try and keep our readers posted on
the movements of this Cotamtms boy.
The Barliagtoa passenger train dae

Toe Journal seldom makes mis
takes, but it made one last week. First,
a compositor who has set column after
column week after week for years, with
seldom a greater mistake than a single
letter turned, got the style of a business
firm Ernst k Easton instead of Schwarz
k Easton. It passed the proof-reader
sleek and clean and was not noticed by
him until after the edition was nearly
all folded. 8chwarz k Easton is the
style of the firm, and there is no doubt
about the name they carry -or the hand
some manner in which they treat their
customers.
D. C. Owen was in the city Satur
day. Hedont seem to have lost any
sleep over the furniture that was sent
him last week. The man who played
the scurvy trick on business men of
Omaha as detailed in last week's Jour
nal, had worked for him during the
winter, and he had never before noticed
anything crooked in his transactions.
The furniture, 366.45 worth, is still at
Duncan, the dealer giving $190 out of
his own pocket for the privilege of sell
ing the billot goods and taking a forged
check. It seems that the man, who
when he worked at Owen's gave his
name as Edward A. Cassady, was not
asked to identify himself.

About the most repulsive looking
wretch we have seen lately, was a
drunken chimney sweep who was in
town Thursday and Friday. As though
his dninken condition and slovenly ap
pearance was not enough, the fellow was
afflicted with a hair lip or some other
impediment in his speech, and when he
would try to talk it would almost give
one the horrors. He was very insulting
and abusive, but his greasy soot-besmeared
clothes were his protection,
nobody wanting to be near him. He
was ordered out of a number of places,
and finally "shook the town." He is the
same fellow that caused the accidental
shooting at Humphrey last week, where
by a good man had his arm shattered
with a bullet. It might have cost him
his life.
In coming around the corner, I met
upon the walk, a group of men a talking
war, and I paused to hear the talk.
Each one in accents fierce and loud ex
pressed his sentiments and views and
quickly told what he would do if he but
had McKinley's shoes. They said they'd
take thearruy and they'd land on Cuba's
shore;' they'd kill every cussed Spaniard
till .the Isle run red with gore; they'd
take the navy with them, too; 'twould
help to lift the loads, and they wouldn't
leave a Spaniard 'tween Cape Verde and
Hampton Roads. They'd capture Moro
Castle and throw it in the sea, nor
would they cease their labors till poor
Cuba should be free. We listened to
this strange advice of what these men
would do, we thought it sounded very
nice and frankly told them so. We
thought that war should be declared,
'twas juBt the proper caper; for war,
like many other things, looks very good
on paper.
Columbus Camp No. 299, Modern
Woodmen of America, held a banquet
and ball at Maenuerchorhall last Satur
day evening to celebrate the Eleventh
anniversary of their charter in this city.
The camp was organized April 16, 18S7,
and started out with 12 members, but it
has flourished like a green bay tree,
until now they have 103 names enrolled
upon the roster. The spacious rooms of
the hall were crowded to the limit with
members and their families and invited
guests, and by the time the Columbus
orchestra rendered their first selection,
standing room was at a premium. L. H.
Loavy, Carl Kramer and J.N. Kilian
each made short addresses setting forth
the cardinal principles of Woodcraft,
the Columbus orchestra and the Maen
nerchor each rendered several selections,
and there was also a short literary pro
gram. The banquet followed this, after
which the hall was cleared and all who
wished joined in the "mazy" dance un
til midnight. Taken altogether a very
pleasant evening was enjoyed by those
who attended.
Lieut Stillman's east window at the
store has a decided warlike appearance
with.,the guns, sabers and munitions of
war. The doctor with a little help has
a picture in the arrangement of the guns
and shells, with one or two pictures
which bear on the prospect of war with
Spain. He has McKinley's picture at
the left with motto, "Keep off the grass
with honor." In the center of the win
dow is a stack of modern guns, hung
upon which are two or three cartridge
belts; under the guns is a box of shells,
which is the most catchy thing in the
window, as they are labeled: "Uncle
Sam's Pills." They are for the modern
breech-loading guns, with a large load
of powder and the bullets are not sup
posed to be sugar-coated. They are of
the kind of pills the doctor would pre
scribe for a Spaniard, and fired from a
carbine such as Uncle Sam arms his
boys with, they would kill or cure in
short order. To the right of the guns is
a picture of the battle-ship Maine, as it
is supposed to have looked at the in
stant of the explosion, and a patriot's
heart is stirred at the scene. At the
right corner of the window there sets a
carbine which H. P. Coolidge carried
through the '61-65 trouble, near which
is a box of shells issued to Henry in '63.
These, with a few fragments of shells,
bayonet and bullets picked up by E. D.
Fitzpatrick, our present mayor, at
Shiloh 33 years after the great battle of
April 6 and 7, 1862, comprise the show in
the window, which has attracted large
crowds for ten days.

Coaaty Supervisor.
The board began their April session
Monday afternoon at 2, and it is sup
posed that at least three or four days
may be occupied with the business to
come before them.
Besides the ordinary, stated matters
which the board have always with them,
they will probably this time have an
extra interesting question with the Un
ion Pacific Railway company a matter
of roads in which both county and com
pany are concerned.
It seems that, west of the Loup, there
are county roads along the right-of-way
of the railroad company, and the latter
are making objection, and seeking, we
believe, to have the roads vacated, or at
the least removed further 'than 50 feet
from the center of the main track.
It is the intention of the company to
make a continuous fence along their
lino in this part of Nebraska, and hence
they are strenuous on their right-of-way,
which they claim the county has no
right of domain over.
The question will be an interesting
one to the legal fraternity in the study,
and also to the general public who may
have occasion to travel that way. For
our part we are never gladly desirous of
driving a team closely parallel to a rail
road track, and we could heartily wish
there were no such roads.
Joe Tiiffany returned Sunday after
noon from his trip to Jamestown, Calif.,
bringing with him Charles Huber. A
number of the old timers here were at
the depot to meet him, and while they
recognized Charley, they were all much
surprised at his emaciated condition.
Joe made the trip without incident, ex
cept in coming over the Rocky moun
tains, the sudden change in altitude
seemed to affect the patient's lungs con
siderably. As an incident to show bow
some people will inake friends, and to
prove that there is the milk of kindness
in the human breast, all the male pas
sengers of the Pullman in which Mr.
Tiffany made the trip of over 2,000 miles,
lent him every assistance possible; all
shook hands with him upon his leaving
the car here, and complimented him
upon the manner in which he had taken
care of his charge In speaking with
one of them who had come clear through,
the reporter was told that Mr. Tiffany
was a man in a thousand; that he never
neglected his patient on the entire
trip, and how he withstood his long
vigil was what they could not under
stand.
Bernard Caffrey, aged 65 years, died
this Tuesday morning at his home in
this city. He had been complaining for
some time, and suffered from a compli
cation of diseases. He had lived here
for nearly thirty years and was among
some of the pioneer employes of the
Union Pacific, but had not been in the
service the past fifteen years, having
met with an accident which incapacita
ted him for any further duty. He serv
ed in the war of the rebellion. He leaves
a wife and six children, four of whom
reside in this city, a son and daughter
living in Sidney, Neb. We were unable
to learn what arrangements have been
made for the funeral.
