A chemist, acting on the suggestion
that a frost bite is like a burn, has pre
pared meats for food by subjecting them
to CO degrees of frost and sealing them
in airtight tin cans. The result is said
to be that the meat is practically cooked

eaten with very little further prepara
tion. The Nebraska Farmer recommends
taking a keg of water to the field in the
wagon, and tapping it between meals for
the horses: planning for a good day's
fun as soon as the rush is over work
goes better when there is a stopping
place ahead; using fish oil on the cow's
back, shoulders, head and legs against
the cow flies.

S.P. Drinnin reports commencing
cutting winter wheat yesterday morn
ing, and thinks the field of 90 acres, 60
of which is owned by the Drinnins, and
30 by Mr. Bockman, is the best he has
seen in Platte county, and will yield at
least thirty bushels to the acre. Barley
is hardly worth catting a fly is work
ing on it cutting off the head. The
prospect for oats is most excellent. Of
spring wheat he has his doubts, and
corn generally is weedy, owing to the
wet weather of the early season.

Madison had quite k wind storm
Tuesday night of last week. The Re
porter says: The storm only lasted
about half an hour, during whieh time
the Catholic church was blown off of its
foundation and the brick foundation
shattered. The south end of the build
ing was moved about three feet and the
north end fifteen inches. The awaing
on the Opera House Pharmacy and the
Madison Cash Store were torn to pieces,
some of the iron rods being twisted.
Many branches were broken from the
large cottonwood trees below the Prince
house, and everywhere about town. In
the south end of town a number of trees
were uprooted bv the wind.
Dr. Lull recently vaccinated 245
head of cattle for S. S. Hadley to pre
vent the spread of the well known cattle
disease, -black leg." He performs the
operation by injecting Pasteur's Black
Leg Vaccine, which he prepares, into
the shoulder of each animal. So far Mr.
Lull says the process has met with the
desired effect and the disease has been
checked. This inaugurates a new line
in the practice of the veterinary surgeon
which will probably increase Mr. Lull's
popularity and usefulness in the com
munity. He also vaccinates against
glanders and tetanus, and says that the
same method has been successfully ap
plied for the prevention of hog cholera.
Cedar Rapids Outlook.
SKkool Board.
The school board have decided on a
location for the new school building
block Thirteen (the entire block) in
Becher Place addition, lying immediate
ly east of the residence of Leander Ger
rard. on the opposite side of the street.
By a vote of four to two (Gondring
and Scott voting in the negative) it was
agreed to tender Becher, Becher, Jaeggi
jt Co $3,000 for the block.
The tender has been accepted and we
suppose work of building will now go
forward.
The committee on buildings and
grounds were directed to inquire about
sewer connections for the new building.
The levy of taxes decided upon is 11
mills for the general fund and 3 for
interest fond, making 14. the same as
last year for general purposes alone,
and there is some surplus on hand.
The board organized for the ensuing
year by the election of J. H. Galley,
president; George Scott, vice president;
Henry Hockenberger, secretary.

Everything in nature seemed to con
spire with the sentiment of the people
for an enjoyable day, and finer weather
could not have been selected.
The regular, old-fashioned, noisy be
ginning of the day was in remembrance,
and in the small hoars of the morning
perambulating celebrators roased deni
zens from their slumbers.
People from the surrounding country
began to come, into the city after early
breakfast, and kept coming until noon.
The martial music by the S. of V.
drum corps, the band music by the
American-Swiss and Shell Creek bands
helped greatly to enliven all the pro
ceedings of the day.
The patriotic songs of the Orpheus
were enjoyed by the crowd, and the
splendid address of welcome by Colum
bus' War Mayor, E. D. Fitzpatrick; the
finely-delivered Declaration of Inde
pendence as memorized and declaimed
by that princess of little speakers, Pau
line Elias, and the splendid oration of
Judge Albert were appreciated at their
worth by the listeners.
The parade, consisting of the mar
shals of the day, city officials, firemen,
boys' brigade, the bicycle contingent.
Uncle Sam, Cuba, the Maine, Iffland's
big wagon load, and a miscellaneous
assortment of Calithampians. formed
one of the attractive features of the day.
The Bowery dance by the Columbus
Orpheus drew a crowded house after
noon and evening, and indeed till 1
o'clock-Tuesday morning.
Tie"pteasnre gardens or the city were
all occupied during the day and even
ing. The fireworks of the evening were
witnessed and enjoyed by thousands of
spectators.
While the first ascension of the bal
loon was not a success, the second was
pronounced O. K., although one of the
dogs was severely hurt in the fall, the
parachute failing to work as it should.
Great credit is due to the committees
and the marshals for the day's success,
and only those who have engaged in
such affairs have any appreciation of the
amount of work that is done, to say
nothing of the worry endured.

Under the letter heading of the Cath
olic Truth Society, Camp Merritt, San
Francisco, date June 27, 1998, F. C. Tur
ner writes as follows to the folks at
hbme, the letter being received here
Friday last:
-After leaving Columbus we went by
special train to Hastings over the B.
5L, and the special, of three cars, went
over the Rock Island from there to
Cheyenne, arriving at 7:05 the next
morning. Our cars were attached to the
Fast Mail and came clear through to
Oakland on same train, and I tell you
we made excellent time the entire trip.
At Benecia oar train went on the larg
est ferry-boat in the world, and" we took
a mile's ride on the Sacramento river to
Port Costa, where we again took to the
rails. At Oakland Pier all trains stop,
where we again took the boat and were
landed safe in San Fran, on schedule
time, and marched six miles to Camp
Merritt.
At Rock Springs, Wyo., we were or
dered out to drill, supposing the train
was going to stop there twenty minutes
for supper. We lined up, but before we
began to maneuver the train started to
pull out (and you know the Fast Mail
don't stop and wait for anybody) and we
ran to catch on, which we did, but it is
a wonder to me half the company didn't
get left, but all got aboard.
We came through without an acci
dent, or sickness. Have just come from
drill, and our boys make a better ap
pearance than some mwipsninn irhn hare
been drilling much longer?
We are recruits for the First Neb. Vol.
Infantry and none of us know to what
companies we will be assigned.
Three transports of soldiers leave to
day for Manila. We met them on the
same street yesterday as they were go
ing to board the ships, they coming
down the street and we marching np to
Camp Merritt. It was a grand sight to
see them, and thousands of people lined
both sides of the street as far as you
could see. Talk about patriotism, the
cobble-stones in the street seemed to
tremble while the cheering lasted!
Mrs. Kilian and two sons accompanied
the captain on the trip as far as Ogden,
Utah, where they got off the train to re
turn home.
At Wadsworth, Nev., I met AL Gris
wold, son-in-law of Banker A. Anderson,
of Columbus. He is an old Columbus
boy and was looking fine and also told
me his family was in good health.
Our boys are in excellent health and
spirits, and talk about fun, we have it
on tap all the time and have more of it
than any of them.
We have not been equipped with uni
forms and guns yet, but expect to before
long.
We may stay here until about the 10th
of July, on account of not getting out
on today's expedition; or we may go at
any time. You cannot get any informa
tion at all regarding army movements.
There is not a sick man in our com
pany, and all have their appetites with
them and 'cuss the cook for not being
more liberal with his rations, bnt it
don't do any good. Since onto army
rations, I never felt so good in all my
life. Up at 5:45, roll call, breakfast,
drill, drill, dinner; drill, drill, drill, snp
per, and an hour's lounging around,
then to bed, on sand for a mattress, a
grand, sound sleep and up again in the
morning all feeling in the best of trim.
Our officers, from Capt. Kilian down,
are perfect gentlemen, and I could not
ask for better treatment from anybody.
These people of the Catholic Truth
Society are nice and obliging. While
writing this there are at least 300 others
doing the same, they furnish every
thing free.
Do not worry about me. as I am here
for a good and just cause, and am going
to see the end if there is such a thing
possible. Love to all.
Frank.
Camp Mkrrttt, July 29.
Ed. Journal: Arrived in camp Sun
day, the 26th; marched about five miles
to camp. We are camped in a kind of
desert. The recrnits are all in the best
of spirits.
The transports sailed the 23th with
about 5,000 troops. Don't know when
we will leave for Manila. Probably not
before the 9th or 10th of July.
The Wyoming battery from Cheyenne
arrived the 29th. The Minnesota left
on the transports. They were going
down as we marched to camp. The
streets were thronged with people.
We were given our dinner by the la
dies of the Red Cross society.
It was very hot crossing the desert
about 600 miles, very nearly across the
state of Nevada. Yonrs,

DROWNED IN THE PLATTE.
Timothy A. Foley Meet Itu Fate at North
Bend.
Timothy A. Foley was drowned in the
Platte at North Bend Saturday after
noon. Foley, accompanied by three
friends, went to the river to bathe. Fo
ley stripped first and dove from the
bank, a distance of seven feet, striking
on his head. We was stunned and came
up once, then went down again. His
body was found half an hour later 300
yards below where he went in. The
coroner's inquest found a verdict of ac
cidental drowning. Foley worked at
