The Black Stars of this city and the

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

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

There is only one method of seeding

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

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.

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

The native horses are Shetland ponies,
and they have great big carts with heavy
tops all they can pull They do all their

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

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

Dxar Fathkk and Mother: Your
letter and papers received several days
ago with much pleasure. I am glad in
deed to learn that you are both well, and
hope to be able to visit you soon. It
may require some time before the peace
negotiations are completed, and I am
able to obtain my discharge, but I will
attempt to accomplish this as soon as
possible. The present indications point
toan early abandonment of this camp
and I am of the opinion that the troops
will be ordered back to their forts.
The president is expected here tomor

Hodel is quite ill and has been sent to

Hoping that yoa are both well, I am'
Your son,

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.

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.

A wild beast resembling a mountain

times near the house on the Ed Eppler
farm near Hadar. Recently it chased
one of the Eppler children which was
compelled to climb a windmill tower for
safety. A similar but smaller varmint
was seen in that vicinity last spring, and
its presence occasions some alarm in
