Tonight, Tuesday, they will play "A Mother's Peril," a beautiful drama in f our acts. High-class specialties will be. introduced by the company. We have already noted the fact that the school exhibit at the Exposition is in the gallery of the manufacture's boHding. A goodly number of people interested in education are not seeing this part of the exhibit, which certainly is .worth the trouble of going to see. It will pay to hunt it op. Quite a hail storm here Monday afternoon, making it pretty lively for a few minutes for those who were out in the storm. We saw no hail larger than a hickory nut. The hail, which covered the ground, was followed" by a copious shower of rain which made the streets muddy aad left puddles of water stand ing here and there. The funeral of C. A. Woosley was from the residence Thursday morning at 930, Bev. Mickel preaching the sermon, after which the body was laid to rest in the Columbus cemetery. The pall bear ers were members from the Columbus bar': A. M. Post, J. M. Gondring, W. N. Hensley, W. M. Cornelius, Chas. Willis and C. J. Garlow. The Black Stars of this city and the Clear Creek nine played a game of base ball at the Clear Creek mills Sunday, resulting in favor of the home team by a score of 17 to 8. After the game was finished, Mr. Coxen, manager of the mill, showed the players where his musk melon patch was and the crowd made short work of slot of delicious melons. Albert Mason, son of W. -M. Mason, and H. Lamb, son of George Lamb, were in the city Monday, on their way to Fremont, to attend the Normal school. The young men are bright, am bitious and strong, and are just the kind of material out of which the model American citizen is formed, and from the number of which Uncle Samuel gets his helpers in time of peace or war. It is an exceedingly easy thing to sit in the shade and make comments and criticisms upon passers-by, upon public officials, and everything and everybody in general, but it occurs to us that the doing of even a very small portion of the world's actual work once in a long while at least, would be of more benefit all around. The well known motto of the boss fisherman is very applicable in such a case, of course paraphrased to suit the circumstances "Either fish, cut bait, or go ashore." Generally, the public schools here abouts fesajan the work of the school year eaMonday. of this week. Many of the ahildren in the city take up new lines of study, which, if they could get an outline of before entering upon the particulars in the book work, would aid them very much in their Btudy. Wil man, one of the great writers on such subjects, says that "to think is to con dition." To think rightly is to get to the root ideas of a subject, and from these go upward and outward. Col. J. R. Meagher, who has for a quarter of a century been in the employ of the Union Pacific railroad company at this place, and for several years be fore that in the west, has been super seded by Charles E. Joy, of St. Paul, Nebraska, who has been with the com pany eight years. Mi Joy comes very highly recommended ss a railroad man. Mr. Meagher has been n faithful, hard worker for his company, late and early and through all sorts and lands of trouble and vexation, and we hope will soon find occupation more remunerative than the position he has been occupying for so meny years. An extra freight on the Norfolk branch of the Union Pacific struck a buggy Monday morning about twenty miles from this city, instantly killing both horses, smashing the vehicle, injur ing Mrs. Mary Lohaus, sixty years old, she suffering two cuts on the face and the fracture of the right clavicle. Joe Schulea, nine years old, two scalp wounds and frontal bone broken. Mrs. Schulea, the boy's mother, was unhurt. Dr. Bear of Norfolk was brought down on the train and Dr. Evans of this city telegraphed for and went up overland. It seems as though there is no blame at tached to the train men. The rattle-snake seems, to be loiter ing.aroand in Nebraska, not so numer ous ss in former years, but enough to call for looking out for him. The fol lowing paragraph appears in last week's Howalls Journal: "Last Sunday after noon, while in the pasture east of town after the family cow, Eddie Popelar was bit on the foot by a rattle-snake. He came to town as fast ss he could and was taken to Dr. Buxick's office and cared for. His foot and leg are badly swollen and very painful at times, but all danger is past and in a short time he will have fully recovered from the ef ects of the bate. The Nebraska Farmer ventures the opinion that winter wheat seediag in this latitade should be done by the middle, of September. It says farther: There is only one method of seeding which enn be recognised by the farmer who does everything in. the best way.

Apgar and family of Woodrille township passed through the city Monday on their way to Cincin nati, Ohio, to visit a few weeks.

The publisher of Thk Columbus Journal, M. K. Turner, has been doing service in Nebraska editorial harness twenty-eight years. Platte county's first paper has seen great changes in that section of Nebraska, and, what is important in connection with this men tion, has had much to do in the develop ing process. Ths Journal is not a spasmodic worker not a blower hot and a blower cold but pursues constantly the even tenor of its way and gets there in a satisfactory manner fifty-two times in a year to the edification of a large and appreciative family of readers. Printers Auxiliary. The Union Stock Yard Co. of Oma ha is beginning to make arrangements again for loaning money at a high rate of interest, and also getting all the prof it in eight, on the feeding of cattle and hogs. So far as the ordinary fanner is concerned there is no money for him in feeding cattle unless he can get them at what might be called a very low price, and even then, the most level-headed ones think there is more money in sell ing the corn and hay, than in taking risks in buying cattle, on credit, and at high figures. The lesson of last year to all who purchased is, Go slow. Keep out of debt. Feed what you raise. Care for your grain until you can get a good fair price. Charles Mapes and Stella Craig were married at tne residence oi tne bride's father in Rogers precinct on Wednesday evening, the ceremony be ing performed by Rev. H. C. Myers of this city. A large crowd of friends were present. Refreshments were served and a merry time enjoyed by all present, who departed with the best of wishes for the future happiness and success of the couple. Mr. Mapes and 'his bride are well and widely known, he having lived here for years and she all her life. They are most estimable young people and deserving of the good wishes of alL Prof. James Scott, formerly City Suptof the Columbus schools, was in the city yesterday; what his mission was we did not learn. Schuyler Sun. Among those who attended from here the Wild West show at Grand Island Friday were: Guy C Barnam, Bert Galley, O. L. Baker, J. A. Turner, & G. Patterson, Wm. Hagel, Andy Con nor, Harry Nichols, Robert McCray and Fred Weber. There were sixteen thous and people present at the afternoon performance, and the show was great, as usual. An-accident happened, how ever, which marred the enjoyment of the show to many who attended; that was, in the artillery act, when the horses, palling -the cannon at a break sack speed, ia making a turn, the carriage ran on one wheel for several rods, over- taraed, oae of the artillery man csagbt under the gun and taa asaisBsfsrihg a crashed chest, Ave ribs broken, and internal injaries which re sulted ia his death a few hours aftsr- wasd.

Fktsxs Habxxt: We have been here tea days and it has rained every day aad almost every night We are diggiag iatreachments now aad moving oar battery. The insurg ents ere fighting night sad day but there are aot vary maay getting hurt. Taasiasargents shot five of their men for dessrtioa, and they ware spies for the Spanish. They shot them, and then cat their throats. That's the way they do in this man's country. Oermany brought a cargo of sheep in' here the other night for the Spanish. Dewey went over to inspect the boat, and wo have been eating mutton ever since.' Germany can fetch all the mutton she wants to. We can eat it for her. We are camped two miles from Ma nila, aad in a peanut patch. There is a stray bullet flies over here, but that don't make any difference. I -was out on picket the other night and the bullets showed me a gay time for awhile. My post about 250 yards from the Spanish fort. A cannon ball struck the roof of a house a little ways from me and took the whole roof off. Barley, I wish you were here to see this country. Instead of horses for work, they use water buffalo.' The only kind of horses they have here are ponies about the size of a grass-hopper. Well, Harley, we were on the water thirty-two days. There was one of the Nebraska boys that died oa the water, aad thare'were two more from Colorado, and one officer. It's a wonder that we all didn't croak. There were 1081 men on onr boat Camp Dxwbt, July 7, 23, 1898. Deak Folks at Homb: I will start another diary letter. We are on picket duty today. I am with the Co. Com mander, Lieu. Jens. Part of the boys are the reserve, the remainder on picket It is a little exciting to hear the ballets fly, with once in awhile a cannon shot The natives all smoke, even the chil dren ss young as three years old, the women too, and such a stinking stench I can hardly bear it July 7, 24. Nothing exciting today. The boys are not allowed to go out of the sound of the' trumpet Tomorrow I am going with a detail of carpenters to build a bridge, out about a mile this side of Manila, and close to the Spanish lines. July 25. Well, we are back, having finished the bridge. I tell you it is an artistic piece of work, made principally out of bam boo. It was constructed to run the artillery over, which will be tonight While we were at work the bullets would fly over and whistle all around us. A shell burst in a tree about 100 yards from us and blowed the top off, pieces going over us. When we came home we went straight down to the beach, within half a mile of Manila, just to see if they would shoot at us. We saw the Spanish tribunal, hospitals, old forts, all in the hands of the insurgents. We saw the old Span ish fort where the insurgents massacred the Spanish. July 26. We have nothing much to do today, as the boys are turned loose today and will he after this, except during drill hours. General Merritt got in today, and the rest of the expedition will be in tonight, and we will go into battle Sun day, unless orders are countermanded, but I hope not The Nebraska regiment are going to be the artillery support and I suppose some of us are going to get killed. We are expecting to have trouble with the natives after we take Manila. July 28. As I have a chance to send a letter, I will finish this. Of course you have not received my last one yet, and I have not recieved any since we left Honolulu. I was helping to build a pier out in the bay yesterday all day, and got wet all over. I wish I could know the news that yoa know this morning, about the war. When Gen. Merritt arrived he fetched some San Francisco papers, dated June 29. They were nearly a month old, but we grasped them like exiles, and con sumed news which was stale, but which was news to us. I hardly know what to write or how to write, only we are tired of the tropics and are all crazy to get home. We have heard that peace negotations are in progress, and all hope that peace will come. But Dewey is in a hurry to capture Manila, before such news reaches him, and so is pushing everything as fast as he can. I understand that the Nebraska regi ments are to be the artillery support so we are going to be in a pretty hot place. .Everything smells rotten; so much dead undergrowth, the whole country being nothing but a mat of timber. You can go for miles and miles, and nothing but bambee, cocoanut, banana trees sad some sweet locust 1 The people are old at fifteen and twenty. l Well, I must close, as there is nothing to write about The native horses are Shetland ponies, and they have great big carts with heavy tops all they can pull They do all their farming and freighting with water buf falo. They have dogs, cats and mon keysyou can buy monkey for $1.00. I have made up my mind that I don't waat to live here, nor anywhere else but in Nebraska or the United States. I am well and hearty, and think the weather will not affect me very much. I am homesick though, but-that is noth ing exceptional, for we are all afflicted with that Dewey captured a German ship loaded with mutton, going to Manila for the Spanish soldiers, and gave the mutton to us. He .took a couple shots at the ship, one going jast in front of the cap tain, knocking him down, and taking off part of the pilot house. He also cap tured from the. Spanish fleet (when he had the battle) one million sentoruss Mexican dollars. We are having a good time, although the Nebraska regiment gets the worst of' everything. I mean in the way of picket duty. If there are any risky places to go, Gen. Green sends after Ne braska beys because ha knows they wUl go, sad- go where ao other -men wilL Ths other daycwhaa ha wanted maa to go eat to baild that bridge under Span ish fire, he coald.aot get any oae to go bat Nebraska boys, so thirty of as went out aad built it Chas.

Camp Wicoff, L. L, Sep. 2, '98. Dxar Fathkk and Mother: Your letter and papers received several days ago with much pleasure.

Hoping that yoa are both well, I am' Your son, Chas. D. Wilson. Dratk of J. G. Phillip. From the Lincoln Journal of Septem ber 2, we take the following paragraphs concerning one known to many Journal readers as an exemplary young man, a devoted son to his widowed mother, and a loyal brother: John Gilmore Phillips did at his home, 1645 M. at 4:30 a. m. yesterday, of consumption. He had long been a sufferer from the disease, but was able to be up until about a month ago. John G. Phillipps was one of the most widely known young men in the city. He had lived here practically all his life, having been but one year of age when the family moved here from Cadiz, O., in 1871. He attended the public schools of the city and graduated from the high school in the class of "87. During his school life he carried the State Journal for several years, but on graduation from the high school secured a position in the city ticket office of the B. fc M. road, in which office he remained until about six months ago. His long term of service for the company met its re ward in his appointment to the position of assistant city passenger and ticket agent, which he held when he gave up active duties. Early last spring he started for the south and spent five months in New Mexico in the hope of bettering his health which had begun to fail rapidly. But he returned home feeling no better for the trip, and in fact had less strength left than when he started. From that time on he became gradually but stead ily worse until the end came this morn ing. Not until yesterday did he refer in any way to his illness, though he seemed to know how serious it was when he returned home. Before he left the Burlington office all those who had occasion to transact business with him found him constantly cheerful and still as careful in his attention to their needs as ever. Mr. Phillips will not only be missed in the office where his daily work was, but the young people of the First Pres byterian church will be without one who has until lately been a necessary part of their effectiveness. In the church itself and in the young people's society he held a prominent place and found the greatest satisfaction in furthering the ends of both organizations. The funeral will be held from the home Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, with interment at Wyuka in the same lot where deceased's father and sister Lucy are buried. Relatives from out of the city are expected to arrive by that time and employes of the general offices of the Burlington at Omaha will prob ably attend. JaalaK-Zianecker. Miss Lydia, daughter of Bev. and Mrs. Jacob Zinnecker, was married Wednes day afternoon at her parents' home, to Mr. Isaac Janing of Osceola, Rev. Miek el officiating, assisted by Rev. Henry Zinnecker, of Marquette, brother of the bride. Mr. Louie Zinnecker and Miss Timm, brother of the bride and cousin of the groom, and Mr. Timm and Miss Maggie Zinnecker, cousin of the groom and sis ter of the bride, acted as groomsmen and brides-maids. Miss Martha Turner played Mendels sohn's wedding march and throughout the ceremony played "Pure as Snow." The bride was attired in a beautiful muslain de soir costume and wore bride's roses. After the ceremony, sumptuous dinner was served, which did ample credit to the bride's mother. Miss Zinnecker has lived with the family in our city for several years and has made many friends; through her act ive work in the Methodist church, she has made herself invaluable. For some time past Miss Zinnecker has lived al most as a daughter with Mr. and Mrs. Haight, who, with her many friends, will be glad- to wish her many blessings. The groom is worthy the bride he has selected. He is nicely situated on a farm near Osceola, where they go to house-keeping immediately. The house was well filled with rela tives and friends of the bride and groom, and a great many valuable and useful presents were given as remembrances of the happy occasion. ssrlale.
