A leading populist was heard to re mark on the train coming from Hum phrey Saturday evening, that ho didn't see why so many pops had gone to the convention simply to endorse two demo crats for office.

Quite a storm of wind Friday morn ing at four with-a goodly supply of rain following. No great damage done that we hear of. A number of limbs of trees about town were broken off mainly cottonwood, soft maple and apple trees.

Brnmhober jani tor Second ward; will 'paper and paint the First ward school rooms and repair the sidewalks. Have ordered warrant drawn' in payment of site for new school house, $3,000. ' - The'Central City Nonpariel has this to say of the accident which was de tailed in last'week's Journal: "Tues day morning while the west-bound local freight was switching at the U. P. stock yards east of town Brakeman Pete Mc Caffrey, of Columbus, attempted to nee his left foot in moving an obstinate coupling pin' on one of the cars. The train moved just as his foot was be tween the bumpers and crashed his foot horribly. He was brought to town and the company's surgeon. Dr. E. A. Ben ton, dressed the foot and sent the in jured man into Omaha on No. 6 and in care of Dr. Joe. An attempt will be made toaave tie foot, but, whether it bedoaeisaotasyetcertaia." Walter Heary; at Bellwood' 4att week thoaght he could board the train while passing, but for some reason couldn't hold on, was thrown quite a distance, and fell,, wrencbiag- his back somewhat. It is 'not thoaght there is any serious injury. . The city council are endeavoring to put a stop to hauling dead animal 4!aouthof town It has been an almost . immemorial castom to damp all the re fuse between the river and the city, un til now the sanitary condition must be looked after. The democratic convention held at Humphrey was held in a room where there was a banner on which was written in large letters 'the word "protection. They seem to be taking their medicine with a good grace, finding it everywhere, and it certainly is doing' them good.

Sacrider, of the vicinity, of Monroe, this county. They will be at home, Kewa nee, Illinois after August 8. The Jour: naIi joins their host of friends in good wishes for their welfare. The Old Settlers will hold their forty-first annual picnic in Maenner- chor hall this city Saturday, August 27, JO a. ox, to 10 P:.i. The program will be published next week. These occas ions should be made good use of by everybody, who is invited to be present. Are you lacking In strength and en ergy. Are you nervous, despondent. Ir ritable, bilious, constipated 'and gen erally run down in health? If soyour liver is torpid, and a few doses of Her bine will cure you. Herbine has no equal as a health restorer. .Dr. A Heintz and Pollock & Co. The Journal1 sanctum was bright ened a few minutes Thursday by the presence of Matthew Iverson, his .son just coming into manhood, and a babe inarms. Mr. Iverson expressed himself as well pleased with the state of the country, and the situation of affairs in general. The populist convention at Hum phrey selected delegates to the various conventions, endorsed Judge Albert for district judge, and nominated O.-S. Moran for representative and Wm. O'Brien for County attorney. The democrats selected delegates to the vari ous conventions and adopted a set of resolutions offered by G. W. Phillips. Street car bandits on Thursday night at twelve held up a Walnut street car at the southern terminus of the -line in Omaha, and got $6.00 from the con ductor. When conductor Huttou was told to hold up his hands, he held np in one of them nine silver dollars, and this amount escaped the attention' of the robbers. m If your child has thin, pale cheeks, uncertain appetite and unrestful sleep, it has worms, and curing with strong medicines only makes conditions worse, by irritating lis delicate stom ach. White's Cream Vermifuge is mild but certain in effect, and is a superior tonic as well as a prositive worm de stroyer. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock ft Co. Bicycle riding on the sidewalks is not popular with the Fremont city council. An ordinance was presented forbidding bicyclists to ride on any of the public sidewalks, the fine to be from one to twenty-five dollars, and received six votes to only one against it. The mayor gave notice that he would veto it and would aubmit his reasons at the next meeting. Monday week Mr. and Mrs. Ehme Wallman of Gage county, after dinner went to a neighbor's to spend the after noon, leaving five children at home. About 8 o'clock they saw from where they were that there was a fire on their place and hurriedly started home, only to find on reaching there that their home was then almost destroyed by fire. Running wildly about the place was the oldest of the.five children left at home an 11-year-old boy the only one who had escaped the fire. He was too ex cited to tell how it happened. How many just such cases there have been in Nebraska! Miss Eula Rickly, Maud and Myrtle Parker, Pearl Mosgrove, Miss Florence Wilson of Nebraska City, Miss Emma Cornells, Miss Mary' Henry, the Misses Taylor and Jesse Becher, Will Lehman, Guy Fox, Fred Williams, Irve 8peiee, Geo. Whaley, Roy Cornelius, J. G. Cox, Bey Martyn, Chas. Segelke with Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Stillman and Mrs. Chestnut wood, are camping on the basks of the Loup river, near Genoa. Their com missary is in good hands, and, barring rain, they should have a good time, but their record at camping is like the Methodist picnics, most sure to presage rain. The rain of Friday morning (thirty seven hundredths of an inch) seems 'to, have been about the same at Stanton, .Ashland, David City, Fremont, Schuyler, Blair, West Point, Neligh, etc. At Be atrice, Lon Reed lost several stacks of wheat which were strack by lightning, and a barn belonging to J: W. Smith was burned down, with a considerable quantity of hay, grain and farm imple ments. Loss $1,000; insurance $500. Farmers from the country reported at David City that corn was badly damaged by the wind, the corn lying flat with brace roots broken or pulled from, the ground. . By a circular, under date of July 25, from the Omaha Printing Co., we learn that after August 1, they make a radical change in their business of furnishing ready-prints, accepting orders from in dividual publishers rather than from an association." Their first year just ended, waa for the Nebraska Reform Press Business Association, not exclus ively, but mainly. They certainly have lowered the prices and, there is no question but theirservice has been good. They now make an advance in their business and expect to "deal alike with populist, democratic and republican papers, and to depend for patronage upon the merit of the papers they send out They also say: "We have ap pointed Mr. Harry L. Tostevio, who has had large experience in the ready-print basineas and who is well and popularly known among the pabhahera in this7 sec tion, to succeed Mr. Warwick Saunders, aa manager of this branch of our basi neas, to talu effect o the irst of August next" er9$.e-ditnr. .

Mr. Lloyd comes later along, after visiting friends east, and they will make this their home. She likes Nebraska best of all, although she has many good things to say of the country where she has lived the last five years, since she left Columbua Mr. Lackey Devany gave Journal headquarters a very pleasant call Friday. He lived in Omaha in 1866. There was was one hotel there, the Herndon, and, for a wonder, one saloon. There were few houses, even on Farnam street. He tells the incident about the eccentric George Francis Train stopping at tne Herndon, and, while at dinner, being bothered by the sunlight, he asked the negro waiter to stand before the window to obstruct the light When he refused, Train called the landlord, and desired him to command the negro, but he too refused, and Train then declared he would erect a hotel right across the way within the next thirty daya Land near Omaha in those times could be bought at $5an acre. . Frank Wolf, a farmer living near Norfolk, on Saturday week received in juries froin.which he died Tuesday, of last week, says the Norfolk Journal. He was cutting, oats with a binder when something went wrong at the rear end of the machine, and he got out to fix 'it. The horses started up, and Mr. 'Wolf ran around to. the left of. the team in front of the sickle to get hold of a.mule which seemed badly scared: Although he caught the mule's bridle, he was un able to atop, him, and was dragged a considerable distance when his hold slipped, he fell in front of 'the machine where he waa rolled alonga distance of 30 feet, the machine finally passing over him. The man's left leg was broken in two places, his left ankle dislocated aa also his right shoulder. His entire body below the arms was completely para lyzed as the result of an. injury to his spinal cord. The American Monthly Review of Reviews for August reviews the Santi ago campaign by land and sea from start to finish. Winson Churchill, who wrote so acceptably on Admiral Dewey for tne June review, describes in 'this number 'the. wonderful battle with Cervera's fleet, and his article as illustra ted in part from Hemmet'e remarkable photographs of the Spanish ships taken the day after the fight John A. Church, formerly of the Army and Navy Journal contributes a full account of the Santi ago land fighting, and his article alio is illustrated 'from 'new photographs. Park Benjamin writes on the work cut ont for the Eastern squadron under Commodore Watson. Altogether, the Review again shows its ability to keep well abreast of all important .'military and naval movements, and to exhibit a clean pair.of heels to all its competitors in KXPTJBUCAN COUNTY CONVKNTIOX. Tae Uraati Old Party Keareaeatoal. la Fall .Ferce, Delag tiset Work. ., At the republican county convention at Humphrey on Saturday there was a good representation from every town ship in the county except two and the different wards of the city of Columbus had their entire delegates present ex cept one from Third 'ward, which is a very good aho wing. While there were three different eon-' TtmUooa being held in the little city of Humphrey at one and the same .time,, tne republican crowd waa the largest of all, and a very harmoniously conducted meeting it was, which -augurs well for the campaign in the faU..

Conrad Stein, who lives half way be tween SEelby and Osceola, was in the city 'Thursday following a clew to .his 10-year-old son Arthur, who left home the Friday 'morning before. .'He was at Wange'a Saturday afternoon, and stop ped at Dexters about nine miles south of here, where he inquired how far it was to the city of Columbus, and which direction, saying that he had an uncle living here. . The anxious father had traced him in this direction, coming across those who had seen such a lad, but could find no clew this side the Platte river. Since placing the 'foregoing in type, the following telegram appears in the Omaha Bee of. Friday' under date of Thursday at Papillion: "A boy about 10 years old was found by the section men three miles east of town this morning, frightfully mangled by the cars.

A Trip to Meiree. . t Editor Journal: In making a drive from Columbua to Genoa one. can see some most beautiful country, and, through the. early sum mer months 'when there ia plenty of moisture in the ground, everything r grows rank and green; -but when we have had several weeks of dry, hot weather, everything pots on a different hue, or in other words for the lack of moisture all kinds of vegetation wait for rain. If the wait is too long the verdict ia the fall is: No corn, or1, early po tatoes are fair, but late potatoes nix; and so the decision is down the line of milteM, late grass and all kinds of crops, but the people of Monroe are feeling jubilant .over the chance they have now usingjwater from the irrigation ditch of the Canal company. I saw on Thursday the .effect of bay ing water at hand to use when the crops of different kinds need water. In the matter of sugar beets, which 'almost everybody claims will stand the drouth as well as if not better than most crops, water turned on at the right time works wonders.. At one place just east of Monroe there are two fields, of beets on either side of the road;' one has. been watered at different timea and promises' at least eighteen tona to the acre, while the other piece, across the road on the same kind, of land,- not having been watered, looks to be not half so good, or six to eight tons per acre; so, on that kind of crop at say four dollars per ton, one can readily see what water used at, the 'right time wilL do. While I am sorry to chronicle .the fact.that there are many fields of corn between Columbus and Monroe that are. nearly ruined by. dry weather and "are needing rain bow badly, I can also say that corn fields along the ditch that have been watered look fresh and green, and promise at least fifty bushels per acre, and some perhaps will make seventy-five bushels of good sound corn. W. W. Mannington, just north- of Monroe, has a field of twenty-five acres of especially nice corn which it might pay the neighbors to note. Corn, even last year, which was not near so dry as this, is reported to yield much more un der the ditch in the Hendryx neighbor hood than corn not irrigated. A lover of fruit or small berries should make" a trip to the farm of Hendryx & Adams, and see the thrifty young trees and also the rank straw-berry vines which are very young and still were bearing, this summer. People at Monroe who were fighting the Canal company a year or so ago, are now rustling with each other for water. It may be' the same here next year. Those who don't wish to see, can be fear fully.blind. j;. At the Fremt. In Camp Near Santiago, July 8, 1898. Dear Father and Mother: I am sorry I could not write sooner, but dur ing the last few days wo have been en gaged in a little skirmish with the Spaniards, and time was very valuable. We drove' them back'into the city, 'and it is expected that the city will be sur rendered very soon. I was not injured. Chas. Wilson. Cuba, July 11. Dear Father and Mother: Since writing you lest we had an engagement with the Spaniards lasting ' about twenty-four hours, commencing at noon on the 10th inst Today the city of Santiago was surrendered, with twenty thousand troops. There will be no more fighting in this part of tho island. I am well and safe and hope yon will not worry on my account Letter paper and evelopes cannot tie had, so I am compelled to use postals. Charles Wilson. The above was received here Monday morning, post marked New York, July 30. Aratoa Pfelfer Killed. Wednesday night of last week at about 9:30, while Mr. Pfeifer waB returning home from Columbus, the incoming B. & M. passenger' train struck his wagon, a piece of the hay rack striking the engineer in the face. Sheriff Byrnes held an inquest with E. O. Rector, G. A. Schroeder, J. L. Paschal, A. R. Miller, J. Jtf. Honahan and D. J. Chestnutwood as jury. The body was found lying on the weet side of the track horribly bruised: the right I leg broken in several places;, the left leg broken and. the hip bone dislocated; both arms broken, also his back and ribs. Death is thought to have been in stantaneous. The fact that the body was found on the west side of the track and the wagon and hay rack on the other side, led the jury to believe that Mr. Pfeifer had no ticed his danger and was trying to get out at the hind end of the wagon when the accident occurred. The jury rendered a verdict in accord-, ance'with the. facts, and further found' "from the. evidence obtained that the railroad employes are in no way respon sible for his death.' "Mr. Pfeifer was forty years old and leaves a wife and four children, who have the heartfelt sympathy of the com munity in their affliction. At the convention of the, United States League of Local Loan aad Build ing associations held at Omaha last week, L. J-Wolcott of Albion, Michigan, had this, among other, things, to say of "Woman's Work:" "The women have been an important factor in 'the success ful loans made by associations, and many comforts have they deprived themselves of to meet the payments." To develop the associations we must en list the help of women. Make them di rectors and appoint them on committees and this' will bring hundreds of borrow ers and will seek out the proud wife who longs for a. home and3 be instru mental in getting her interested. This will be civilizing and strengthening to good citizenship. No one can reach the wage-earner better than the woman, who would impress him with the im portance of providing for a home of his own. This league should take steps at once to associate in its work the women, recognize their workjand their capabili ties, and its growth 'will be more rapid and will be the crowning achievement of laJa orfaaisation.'

BECHER, JAEGGI-& CO., Tkirtetmtla St., COLUMBUS, NEBRASKA. Aa to Sidewalks. Quite a number of brick sidewalks and. yard walks have been laid in the city, and so far are giving most excellent satisfaction. The Roman brick seem, all things considered, to be the best. At-the National Bank, the opera house and Dr. Heintz .residence, these brick certainly present a fine appearance. The-best way to solve any-problem that consists of doing, is to do tho right thing. Wo note something out of the usual line, down at Seward; we don't know just how it can thus be done, but the Reporter says: "The inducement that the city officials have offered to property owners, in lay ing their sidewalks if they will furnish the material, has caused a large number of thom to put down brick walks around their property: u the work continues it wont lie long until the board walk iB a thing of tho past. The Journal would like to raise a warning voice to the young men of this country against their looking toward a government position for life. Do not, at the beginning of a public career, at least willfully shut yourself ont and an way from those who do their own thinking, and direct their own ways. Of course, all'aro more or less influenced by public considerations, but there is a certain strength in individuality, work ing by and through natural forces, that is not attained by mere mechanism of any kind, and the best workers are at last found among tho ranks of tlie best thinkers, and in all lines there is no ex ception, What we aro warning against is the sad fact that humanity i too prone to be satisfied with working along in a rut instead of getting ont of it, and making a road on which the ruts will !e reduced to the minimum, and travel bo nearer what it should. Itfferer ia Bankraptcy. . Judge Munger has named Lyman R. Latham of this city as a referee in bank ruptcy for tho counties Platte, Merrick, Nance, Boone, Colfax and Bntler. For the state, so far, there are nine referees. The.Bee says that the referees aro ap pointed by Judge Munger for a period of two years, but are subject to removal in case the judge is not satisfied .with their work. A bond 'of 82,500 is re quired, and as soon as that is furnished they will bo ready to enter upon their work. Judge Munger says that tha present allotment of referees is -in a way experimental and that he may find it necessary to group the counties' differ ently after he finds how heavy the work will be.
