At last accounts it had not been located. The school board met Monday after noon and again at night until about near midnight, adjourning to this Tues day morning, to examine and discuss plans and specifications for the new school building. Rev. DeGeller is teaching the public school in district No. 10, and is giving excellent satisfaction. The truth is that the preacher is always exercising the functions of the teacher, whether in the pulpit or elsewhere. Miss Alice Matthews left for Sarnia, Canada, Monday.

Ryan, LrfimiB A Wrhanhn In the hilly country a flaw miles north of Monroe the rain of last Tuesday evening washed out much of the corn that was planted. One man will have to replant about 50 acres. A good rule of action for a self-conscious being is to precede everything to be done by a recognition of the principle in which it is grounded. As, if you have no object in traveling, don't start. is your child puny, peeked and peev ish? Does it have convulsions? If so, it has worms. White's Cream Vermi fuge Is the only safe cure. Every bot tle is guaranteed to bring worms. 25c. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock ft Co. Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Newman and Mra. Watts will give a tea at the home of Mrs. Watts Wednesday afternoon from 3 to 6 for the benefit of the Ladies' Aid society of the Presbyterian church. All are cor dially invited. I know of no possible ground of re joicing so genuine as this, that one has learned his evils, that he has acknowl edged them as such, and that in the Di vine strength they are to be put away. C. H.

McKean; First Sergeant, Carl H. Hohen; Second Sergeant, Gus Viergntz. The 6torm of last Tuesday evening, of which we received only a reminder, with just a few hailstones, was very de structive in other parts of the state, and was attended with considerable loss of life in Iowa and Illinois. Thursday's dailies contained quite an extended ac count of it. Engine No. 740, Jack Dolan, en gineer, ran off the track yesterday morn ing while the train for Norfolk was being made up; the heavy rain of the early morning had made the road-bed very soft, and while they were on the Y after some empty cars, the whole track took a slide. That dark brown taste and horrid biaath you have in the morning Is caused by an inactive liver. Some med icines relieve for a while, others for a few days, but Herblne cures. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock ft Co. Aaron S. Yandercarr died Friday at his home in Butler county, and his re mains were buried Sunday, 10 o'clock, at Bellwood, a large number of friends at tending the funeral. He came from Branch county, Michigan, to Nebraska in 1869. His age was 80 years, 6 months and 20 days. Next Sunday, May 29, Baker Post G. A.

All veterans with their mothers, wives, sons and daughters, are heartily invited to attend the services. Rev. DeGeller preaches the sermon, in English. The Journal is prepared to furnish in the very latest styles, stationer's goods for balls, parties, entertainments, school exhibitions, concerts, graduating exercises, and the thousand other occa sions for which fine stationery and nice printing are in demand. We furnish ev erything in our line at reasonable prices, and strictly in line with the order, tf ' The Daily Argus made ita first ap pearance Monday morning. May 23. It is a four-column folio with expressed modest views as to the business out look, and may meet with the success it marks out. It doubtless will make its self interesting to its patrons and add another force to the many that are at work for the progress of the city and county, and as such The Journal wel comes its appearance. Mrs. John Keeler was in the city last Thursday. They have lived in the ex treme northwestern part of Lost Creek township for twenty-six years, and she said that she had never before seen crops looking so well at this time of year. Only a hail storm or some other violence of the elements can now prevent enormous yields for this season, she thinks. Mr. Keeler, who is well known here, is bed fast most of the time. The Inter-Ocean calls general atten tion to the fact that in Illinois this year candidates will not be allowed to have their names on the official ballot in more than one place. "Hitherto, under the Australian or official ballot law, the same could appear more than onoe on the ballot for the same oflee. It was as if a ship should be allowed by the com mon law of commerce to sail under two flags at the same time." In some parts of the town Tuesday morning sidewalks were floating, cellars were flooded, and altogether it waa one of the heaviest rains in a number of years. The residence of Mra. O'Brien in the northern part of the city was struck by lightning, and considerable damage done the building, but fortun ately no one was injured. The cellar un der Murdock's store was filled with water to the very floor and much damage dona the goods stored there. The Sioux City Journal of May 20 gives a rather sensational account of an attempted suicide on account of a lore affair, by a young lady named Miss Elizabeth Coughlan, formerly of this city. It describes her as a wgirl of about 20, blue-eyed, uncommon pretty, fair skinned, of a lithesome figure, with a wealth of brown hair that would grace the head of a priBoess, etc" She swal lowed carbolic acid; raandioa war ap plied, and it ia thought she will J. G. Routson, manager on the Mrs. Dr. Potts ranch, has successfully raised some of the dwarfed Cavendish bananas. The fruit was immense and the plant does not grow to exceed, six feet high. For a dwarf variety it is the one to raise. He has successfully treated scale with a spray of soapsuds passed through a coil of heated pipe, made so by a gasoline jet. National City, Cal., Record. There Is ao pain or discomfort when Tabler's Buckeye Pile Ointment 13 used. It relieves that itching Increased by scratching. It is prepared with sci entific accuracy and professional know'ledge, and Is the kind that cures blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles, with no pain or loss of time. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock ft Co. The brown thrush is the sweetest singer of all the native birds of Ne braska. We should judge from observa tions that he too is after the proverbial worm, as he is up and about very early in the morning. If he happens to waken you, just give him your attention and you will find that he imitates the song of a number of other birds in his warbles. You can easily detect the voice of the wren, the robin, the jay and others with whom we are not familiar by name. An aged German giving the name of Joseph Mayer, en route from Jefferson City, Ma, to West Point, this state, fell in a fit at the Lindell hotel Monday af ternoon. It was at first thought to be a case of sun stroke, but the physician who was called pronounced it epilepsy. Pa pers were found upon his person stating that he was subject to these attacks. He was taken to St Mary's hospital and will be sent on his way when he has re- covered. He has a sister living at West Point. John Sturgeon expects to go west again in a few days, having in view some business in sheep. He's got a good deal of sound horse sense in his head, and we are glad to see him putting it into prac tice. Some millionaire once said that the first thousand dollars was the hard est for him to make. Wo don't know just what amount John would substi tute for that word thousand, but we are satisfied that if he would fix that well in his mind he would be a wealthy man in a few years.

The subject of the address was: Success, and How to Achieve it. First, a purpose to succeed; second, honorable means to secure the purpose; third, in dustry or persistency in using the means. Ballard's Snow Liniment cures rheu matism, neuralgia, headache, sick headache, sore throat, cuts, sprains, bruises, old sores, corns and all pain and inflammation. The most pene trating liniment In the world. Try it. 50c. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock ft Co. Columbus' Co. K will be among the best soldiers in the army, those who are sent across the world to uphold the honor of the nation. The first troops will be commanded by General Otis, and will be used for the purpose of taking possession of Cavite, at Manila, and pro viding camp for those who follow. It is believed that the administration will continue pouring trpops into the Phil ippines until there ia force sufficient to control every island in the group. The other Columbus companies may have abundant opportunity yet for service before many months. The friends of the boys in the First Nebraska regiment will be glad to know that the Red Cross society is making ex traordinary preparations to meet the needs of the troops comprising the expe dition to the Philippine islands. The rainy season will begin there at about the time of the arrival of the American expedition. During June and through the summer until October heavy rains fall, the total precipitation fortheaver 113 days of the rainy season being about sixty-six inches. The mean temperature during this season is 80 degrees. The climate of the islands is thoroughly un derstood at San Francisco, and experi enced nurses and physicians and a thor oughly equipped hospital corps will go oat with the first transports. The gov ernment is organizing as fully for the health of the soldiers as for the fighting features of the campaign. Lincoln Journal. Wednesday, Jane 1, is the opening day of the Trans-MissisBippi Exposition at Omaha. President McKinley will touch the button in Washington to start tho machinery. The preliminary mes sage, by telephone, will be read by Gov. ernor Holcomb to ths assembled multi tude. In a school geography published in 1826 occurs this language concerning all this western country in which we now live:- uThis region is inhabited by wild beasts and still wilder men, and it will doubtless be centuries before it will be reached by civilization." The world does move. The Schuyler Sun remarking about the theft of cattle from the Oehlrich ranch, further says: "We aro told that this is not the first time that the man Steel has been at this kind of business. He once bought a car load of cattle of a Dodge county farmer, giving his check for them. After he started with them for Omaha the farmer found out that the check was worthless, took the pas senger train and headed the gentleman off before he had disposed of the cattle. So be has not been very successful in realizing anything on his ventures but he must be a nervy scamp to take such risks of serving a term in the peniten tial' and if he keeps on he will find his way there some day." Editor Gruenther of the Platte Cen ter Signal appreciates some good things, anyway: Last Friday evening this editor was treated to a ramble through one of the finest and most extensive fruit or chards in'TTatte county. The orchard was none other than the one owned by Mr. J. H. Kersenbrock, and surrounding his beautiful home in the southeastern part of Columbus. Tito entire orchard was one beautiful sea of blossoms, and underneath was nature's carpet of velvet bluegrass. Mr. Kersenbrock informed us that among his trees he has 22 varieties of cherries and 16 varieties of plums and prunes. Aside from the orchard, the place is artistically adorned with foliage and shrubbery beds. He also has a large vegetable and flower garden in connec tion with his place, in fact Mr. Kersen brock has a place of which any one might justly be proud especially in Ne braska.

One of the musical features of the Nashville Students Co. this season is their band of fourteen solo musicians with Prof, P. G. Lowery, the world's best colored cornetist. At their noon day concert a program of popular and high grade selections with a cornet solo. These concerts have become very popu lar and invariably attract much atten tion and favorable comment. Their orchestra discourses a pleasing program between the acts in the evening. They will appear at the opera house Wednes day night, May 25. Prices only 15, 25 and 35 cents. George B. Smith (eldest Bon of Samuel C. Smith, who resided in Platte county for years, and removed from here to California) died at San Diego Sunday week of stomach trouble. Besides his widow, he leaves a son about four years old. He was in his 39th year. Mr. Smith, in his early manhood bought a job printing office of Emerson J. Potts, afterwards selling the same to D. F. Davis, and the material is now a part of the Telegram property. He will lie kindly remembered by many of our citi zens, who sincerely sympathize with his sister, Mrs. J. G. Reeder, and other rela tives, in his departure to the world of spirits. A happy event which took place at the Holy Trinity church Wednesday evening was the marriage of Mr. Louis H. Sacrider and Miss Minnie Nieman, the ceremony being performed by Rev. D. C. Pattee and witnessed by only the relatives. Although of Platte county Mr. Sacrider has lived in Schuyler some time being employed at the Union Pa cific depot. About five months ago he quit and entered into a partnership with F. H. Kolm. He ia a young man of ex cellent habits, industrious and well thought of by all who know him. His bride is one of Schuyler's fairest and most lovable daughters, a charming lady of fine mind and disposition who is ad mired and highly regarded by her num berless acquaintances who have known her since childhood and who will take the greatest pleasure in adding their best wishes to those of the Sun, for the future welfare and happiness of the young couple. Those present from oth er places were the father and mother of the groom, two sisters, and F. A. Hop pacb, from Monroe, and Mrs. W. O. Bar thalmew of Stromebnrg. The young people go to housekeeping immediately in tnejoan jntlard residence. Schuy krSun. DEC0EATI0N DAY. MONDAY, MAY 30, 1898..

Sibbernsen and family left Mon day for a several months' visit with his parents and other relatives at Nyborg, Denmark. They will also take a trip through Germany and Switzerland be fore they return. Mr. Sibbernsen has not seen his parents since he left his home some thirteen years ago. We asked Mr. Sibbernsen if he thought he could have done 'so well had he tried some other country beside America when he left his home, and the answer came quickly "no, there is no other country on the face of the globe that offers tho opportunities to a sober, in dustrious man with ordinary talent, that America does, and no part of America can beat Nebraska in this regard." He also added that he had watched closely the development of Platte county since be had resided here; when he first went to work for the old firm of Becher & Co., he was soliciting insurance and could drive across lots almost anywhere; houses were far between and a large per cent of them made from sod; now the entire county is dotted with beauti ful farm residences, costing anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. He has great faith in the future of Platte county.
