The following is a recipe given by an
experienced man against mosquitos, sand
flies and black fifes: smear upon the face
and exposed parts of the body a mixture
of olive or cottonseed oil and North Car

about the consistency of ordinary cream.
That mixture might properly be called
cream of tar-tar.
Judge Speice has coined an express
ion, or adopted a use of a word that may
sometime along with others arising dur
ing this war get into the dictionaries.
It is the use of the Spanish admiral's
name as a verb. When you have gone

thing, and not kept on till the finish, you
have simply "camaraed.''
At the meeting of stockholders of

F. P. Johnson called at Journal
headquarters Thursday, and was very

He thinks, naturally enough, that those
having charge have done exceedingly
well.
J. M. Curtis, the Omaha Bee's wide
awake correspondent for this city never1
fails to say a good word for Columbus as
opportunity offers, and he has this to say
of the reorganized band: "There is some
of the very best talent here, and fifteen
years ago this city had a band that was
second to none in the state. We have
had no regular band here for over teu
years.'
In the absence of Judges Albert and
Marshall of the district court, Judge T.

road on the Sixth principal meridian,
etc. The bond fixed for the plaintiff
was 500.
The Cedar Rapids Outlook of last
Friday says that Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Gibson have a very sick child with
cholera infantum, but there is still hope
of its recovery and that Francis, the
Jitlle son of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Perkins,
who had been dangerously ill with the
same complaint, has taken a turn .for the
better, and now seems to -be slowly re
covering. We talked with a number of farmers.
Saturday from different parts of the
county regarding the wheat crop. Opin
ions vary considerably. We found one
man who said his crop was not damaged
at all. Others put it a half to three
fourths as 'large a yield as last year.
There is no doubt that the yield per acre
will be less than last year by considera
ble. Blight of an unusual kind is gener
ally given as the cause. Osceola Record.
The city council some time ago de
termined on tearing down the old city
hall on Frankfort square, and using the
material in the erection of another
building. A committee is advertising
for bids and we suppose, it will not be
long until the rickety structure will be
removed, and the site it has been occur
pying seeded down to blue grass. The
committee also ask for bids for two steel
bell-towers to replace the wooden ones!
The Fremont Tribune says that at
the coroner's inquest over the body of
James Foley, who was drowned in the
Platte river near North Bend two weeks
ago, it was shown that the man struck
his head on the bottom of the stream.
He evidently thought the water was deep
when he prepared to dive in. His head
and face were badly braised. Hie corn
paBions would have helped him bntthey
thoagat he was fooling mnder the water.
Now that we are likely to have a
good many bananas by reason of our
increased and increasing territory, it
may be well enough to know, as Crich
toil Campbell says: "Baked bananas are
the ideal food for nervous people and
anaemics; also 'for brain workers. I
learned their great power to sustain
J mental effort, in India. I havo subsist
ed for years entirely on baked bananas,
and after adopting the diet they unfail
ingly build up and gain flesh.
One of Platte county's former citi
zens, Jcbn T. Mallalien, late superin
tendent of the Industrial school at
Kearney,- has been sued by the state,
suit being commenced by Attorney Gen
eral Smyth in the district court of
Buffalo county. His- bondsmen are in
cluded, the'sum asked of them being
4,458.38, with interest at 7 per cent
from February 1, 1897. This matter has
been before presented in The Journal.
The claim is that Mr. Mallalieu convert
ed this to his own nse.
Editor Swallow of Humphrey and
Editor Duffy, also of Humphrey, resi
dent at Columbus, had a brush Saturday
in this city over matters between the
Duffy Sons of Humphrey and Mr. Swal
low in the conduct of their respective
publications. Blow about was struck
for several rounds, but no serious dam
age was done by or to either combatant.'
The Journal enters a protest against
outside publishers lugging their troub
les into Columbus, which certainly has
newspaper entanglements enough of its
own.
J. Cleve Scott returned last Sunday
evening from bis .sojourn at Key West,
Florida, says .the Central City Nonpa
reil. He says it is too hot for him there,
and that the yellow fever is too anxious
to make a fellow's acquaintance. It
takes from two to three months for a
northerner to become acclimated to Key
West, and the chances are that at this
time of year he won't last the two
mouths out. Cleve says Nebraska will
be a very satisfactory residence place for
him for awhile now, while he cools off
from his Florida trip.
We have lately received from Sena
tor Thurston three public documents
which are just now valuable for refer
ence: The war revenue law of 1698, with
index, not a compend, but the law itself;
an act to establish a uniform system of
bankruptcy throughout the United
States, approved July 1, 1893: the mes
sage of President McKinley, transmit
ting the report of the naval court of
inquiry upon the destruction of the
United States battle ship Maine in Ha
vana harbor, February 15, 1898, together
with the testimony taken before the
court.
O. L. Baker has secured a five years'
lease of the Stevens lake and expects to
include the fine1 grove, etc., about a mile
from the west limits of tho city. He
has begun to prepare the grounds, and
will have swings, tables, boats, etc., in
abundance for the use of those who wish
a nice, convenient pleasure grounds.
With Mr. Baker's well-known ability in
this line, we may look to see this pleas
ure resort second to none in Nebraska
for quality 'if not in extent, and it is
large enough for the biggest crowd like
ly to be entertained in Columbus.
The silver republicans held a con
vention here Saturday and selected the
following delegates to the state conven
tion to meet at Lincoln, August 2: II. J.
Hudson, J. B. Geitzen, T. R. Clark, F.
H. Gerrard, R. B. Thompson, A. Emberg,
M. Bloedorn, John Schmocker, Thad.
Stevens and O. H. Graham. Thompson
was selected as float committeeman
from Platte county and Gerrard a com
mitteeman to confer with Colfax county
in regard to state senator. William
O'Brien (democrat) was nominated for
county attorney. O. S. Moran (demo
crat) was nominated for representative.
It is always gratifying to know that
Nebraska soldiers are behaving them
selves as they should. The Daily Times,
Chattanooga, gives this little word pic
ture of a scene utter pay-day: "Here
comes a group of gay New Yorkers, a la
Bowery flavor, sweeping everything be
fore them with their swaggering, I-own-the-earth,
you-keep-off-the-grass air.
Following them is a squad of quiet, un
ostentatious little fellows whose insignia
indicates that they belong to the Second
Nebraska; unlike those in front of them,
they are decorous, promptly give way
for ladies to pass, and are considerate
of the rights of othor pedestrians.
The candidate who is to be named
for state senator from this and "Platte
counties should come from this county,
but "so far we have heard of no one who
is asking for the nomination. It is im
portant that the republicans should
elect their candidate as well as the rep
resentative and the Sun sincerely hopes
that a strong man may be placed in
the field. A United States senator is to
be chosen by the state legislature this
winter to succeed Allen and he should lie
a republican. We are certain to elect
Dan Mc Leod and if the right man is
nominated stand a good show of getting
th'e senator also. So bring on your can-"
didates. Schuyler Sun.
Thomas, Cyrott of Norfolk hired a
faithful old horse at the livery stable and
drove the poor beast to death. A just
judge fined him S15, wluch with the
costs amounted to $23.55. If anybody
could tell the old steed that he-was actu
ally worth $28, he would rest easy in his
grave. So says an exchange. This story
concerning one of the very many horses
that have died through abuse, if properly
applied by every man who reads it; to his
own treatment'of dumb, animals, will be
worth a great deal more than any sum of
money mentioned because it will tend to
make men kinder and more considerate
not only of man's quiet helpers, but also
of bis fellow-men. The brutal-minded
man is sure to show his brutality.
There is no doubt but Senator Allen
is making strenuous efforts to succeed
himself. Of course he would like to
have state representatives and senators
elected that would be favorable to him
self, and his law partner, W. E. Reed of
Madison, has been around looking after
the preliminaries. Two years ago re
publicans elected F. P. Prince repre
sentative of Madison county, and it is
very doubtful if theipopulists this year
can elect a man. It is learned that a
former law partner of Senator Allen, T.
F. Memminger, is talked of. Our re
publican brethren across the border
would do well to nominate Prince, and
let the pair make a School-house canvas
of the county. This k a republican year.

Mrs. Anna Ragatz and son Arthur of
Prairie du Sac, Wise., who have been vis
iting the family of Henry Ragatz the
past five weeks, left for their home today
Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. H. Ragatz and
Miss Emma and Ed. accompanied them

Mrs. Hattie Englehart of Julesburg,
Colorado, arrived here last Saturday to
make an extended visit with old friends
and relatives in Columbus and neighbor
ing towns. Mrs. Englehart is a sister of
state representative, George Horat, and
a daughter of Andrew Horst, one of the

At the earnest solicitation of numer
ous citizens of Columbus, members of
the old cornet band have been parvailed
upon to reorganize, and. in pursuance of
this idea, a meeting was held last Wed
nesday .evening and a committee on con
stitution and by-laws appointed. An
other meeting is to be held this Wednes
day evening at which all cornetists of (he
city not connected with another organi
zation, are invited to be present and take
part. The band starts out with the
promise of eighteen pieces and will be un
der the direction of S. L-Bristol, an old
tiiue organizer and 'conductor of bands.
At the meeting this evening an organiza
tion will be effected and Mr. Bristol ex
pects the band to play right away. This
organization is not supposed to interfere
with any other in any manner, but is cal
culated to give strength to beginners and
thus bring them forward more rapidly,
and let the older ones step aside.
James C. Cowdery, father of ex-sec
retary of 6tate B. F. Cowdery, idied last
evening after an illness of six weeks. Mr.
Cowdery had lived in Lincoln for eight
years with his son. He was born at
Mecca, Ohio, and spent the greater part
of his life in his native state. He was
seventy-six years old. Although he bad
uot formed a large acquaintance during
his residence in. Lincoln, he had many
warm friends who grieve to hear of his
death. The funeral will be held Friday
at 5 p. m. at 334 South Thirteenth street
the residence of B. F. Cowdery, his -onl;
surviving child. We take the foregoing
from the Lincoln Journal of Thursday
last. Mr. .Cowdery lived here many
years before he moved to Lincoln, and
was held in high esteem by those who
were intimately acquainted with him.
Friends here sincerely mourn with the
bereaved son.

unlawful use of the public highways.

Couuty Judge T. D. Robison and a. V. Phil

fees earned Iu their respective olllces for the
second quarter of 1893, which was rend and or
dered tiled.
The following opinion wti submitted:
Columbus Xebr.. July 13. 13.H.
To the Honorable Hoard of l'lnite County.
Centlfineu I will Mibmlt the following :is
my opinion :w to wlic tilt r an Irrigation ditch
can be constructed over ami through a public
highway without having liot obtained per
mission to do so, -or w'ltnout giving onie for
mal notice.
Mention 39 of thercuiiipdMl statutes of li-'.T,
provides lir substance that where the parties
cannot agree, 'touching the compensation
anil damages." condemnation proceedings
may b had This Is the only reason why some
formal action inust'le taken by tfce fiarty serU
iugtotake another's luud lor irrigation pur
poses. But this rule does not apply wbeie no
compensation can lie claimed, because section
forty of said statutes provides that -any per
son who being desirous of construct! gtucli
ditch shall have the right of way over and
through any highway in any county in tins
state" for such pur oe "without any compel!
satiou therefor." As to whether such ditch
an be constructed upon and ulong a public,
hlph way. Is not so clear.
Section -10 of said statutes gives a party a
right to ootain a right of way ''over and
through any highway.'' I would construe the
won a right "through" in said section 40 to
mean "upon and along "
Section 58 of said statutes imposes obliga
tions on parties constructing Irrigation ditches
whkh provides "that any pervm constructing
any ditch or canal upon or across any highway
sball keep suih highway npeu for safe and
convenient travel, etc.
I wonld like to have some of the aboe mat
ters referred to the proper court for abdica
tion. Respectfully submitted.
William O'Rrikn.
Moved by Supervisor OIon that- the opinion
be spread upon the record and that the county
attorney be directed to institute the necessary
proceedings, enjoining the said irrigation
company from using the public highways of
the couuty or any of them, by digging ditches
t'.iereouaud conducting water therein, alone
and lengthways of said highway-. Motion
carried.
Supervisor Olson submitted the following
preamble and resolution;
Whereaw, The personal assessment of the
Bank of Creston lor the year 1S98. was omitted
from the assessment roll of Creston township
for said year, and
Whereas. The time and hour having arrived

To thft Board of Supervisors of Hatte county

(entleuieii: Pursuant to the verbal state

sitiouiu writing: -
Kiret. If the order to the county attorney.
relative to the institution of ft-suit, enjoining
our company from using the public Highways
of the county for pun oses of irrigation, is sus
pended. Jor the time being, it shaU be witn the
distinct understanding that this company will

. John G. Maher, on of Platte coun
ty's boys in the army was no eooner ex
onerated of a charge made ngainst him
because he would not loan his typewri
ter for the benefit of Captain Dapray,
General Grant's division adjutant, than
his friends, Captain Fisher of Chadron
and Captain Evans of Nprth Platte are
notified that charges are preferred
against them, the former being "guilty
of conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman, and of subverting military
discipline by associating socially and en
tertaining an enlisted man, Maher," and
against Captain Evans for alleged "re
lease of a military prisoner, Matter,
without authority." The reporters call
his the sequel of the Maher court-martial.
It is really said that Maher and
Fisher aro good old friends from the !
same town, and have talked together,
walked together and even slept ogether
(Just think of it, ye Nebraskans a pri
vate Glept with a captain!!) What are
we coming to.any way? If these carpet
soldiers really wnnt something to whet
their judicial teeth upon, they might
very readily find more suitable material
for their courts -martial than their
charges against Maher, and now Fisher
and Evans, with less scandal to them
selves and the service. Common .horse
sense alone is a much better equipment
than a set of shoulder-straps, alone.

The Norfolk News says that S..H. Ma-'
Clary has received from n friend in Hon- '. .
olulu, Hawaii, a copy of The Pacific, a
daily published at that place. This- '
copy is printed in red, white and blue "
and is issued in honor of the first Ma-'
nila expedition of soldiers from America. .
Previous to their arrival for 48 hours' a
lookout had constantly been kept from
both land and sea for the first sight of-.
the American ships. The first sight was '
had of the 'expedition by a lookout at.
sen. He immediately signalled the shore
of the approach of the expedition and
whistles were blown throughout the city :.
and guns fired. The people rushed-
down to the wharves in a body to greet .'
the United States vessels, while an en
terprising reporter steamed out in a
launch to secure a report of the trip,
etc. The occasion was. a great holiday
in the city and the soldiers were given a.
glorious welcome ns the first American . -bayonets
to advance across the Pacific."" "
to plant the stars ami stripes on foreign
soil. : -'"
A marked copy of the Manitoba'
Free Press, Winnipeg, has been sent tuv
in which the editor reads a lesson ofN
warning thus: "If it becomes u question -between
a friendly and reasonable inter
national arrangement on ono side, and
the greed and selfishness of British Co
lumbia sealers 011 the other, the latter '
need expect but little if any support
from the Canadian public and Canadian
newspapers. They have already given
all the trouble that either Canada or '
British patience will bear. This lets
daylight into a dispute that was likely
at one time to involve two great nations
in a contest of untold expense in treas- "
tiro and life. Rather than this we know
that many thoughtful Americans would
have hailed with gladness a sight of the
last seal, and now ths eame sentiment
comes from Canada, and places the ex:
act blame where, it surely belongB. v
Of course a horse is a reasoning;
creature, and some of them go so. far.
with their arguments as to strike when ' ,
things don't go just as they fancy they
ought. Baker Jt Wells' gray ice team
were out later than usual Saturday even
ing delivering ice and one of them be--came
restive and insisted upon going
home. The other was not so hungry, it. -seems,
but his mate caught him by the
top of bis neck and finally "got a move
on him." They turned the corners all
right. Otto Baker failed at the bead of
the horses but caught ou the tail end of!
the wagon and after giving them a'littlu -more
exercise with tightened reins, saw
the team straight forthe barn and. 6Up-
per. Otto has re-named the horses .
Schley and Cervera. the former because
of, his knowingness, the latter becaus
he had to give up, though unwillingly. . . '
t Among other things, the new revs- .
nue law places a tax of 2 cents upon the .
money orders issued by the postoffice de--
partment, and it was at first proposed, to
require an adhesive stamp to be affixexl.'
After a conference betweejt the postof-
ffiee and treasury officials, hovfever. jt
was decided that it is unnecessary to pur
ine public to all the rouble, and post-' .
masters have been instructed simply to .
add 2 cents to the fee. The poetolBce .
department will then make quarterly re- .,
turns to the treasury department of all .,
business transacted, and turn into the . .
treasury 2 cents for every postal order
issued. Last year more than $32,000,000 .
in postal orders were Issued, which, if .'
duplicated this year, will yield a revenue
of 83,500,000. Columbus will contribute,
her full share to the fund.
