Other states are changing their tune
on Nebraska. The songs they used to
sing had a very different sound. This
is what the St. Joseph Daily News said
the other day: Money is such a drug
on the market in the state of Nebraska
that the banks have decided to reduce
the rate of interest from 1 to 2 per cent.
It is said that the farmers are no longer
borrowers, but that many of them have
actually become lenders. This speaks
well for Nebraska.
A good many of our citizens mistook
the ringing of bells and blowing of

parade, masked, on the streets of the

Platte county teachers who heard
the speech of Rabbi Hirech at Lincoln,

tiquities to be discarded soonest is the
text-book as the central idea of instruction.

4ARL REINKE was born in Prussia, in 1828, coming to the United
States in 1854, and to Columbus as one of the very first settlers in 1856.
Mr. Reinke helped erect the first building in Columbus, which was called
the Company house, and which now stands just north of Korsen brock's
brewery. When Mr. Reinke found tho Shell creek valley he thought ho never saw
anywhero so grand a country, and he still thinks thero is no better anywhere. He
bought (by hard work, for thero was at that time no homestoad law yet), a farm of
463 acres about 6 miles north and 4 miles east of Columbus, where for many years
until he moved his family to Columbus in 1891, ho made his home. Henry Rickert
bought the old home several years ago. Mr. Reinke tells many interesting stories
of pioneer life; of tho long snow storms lasting several days at a time, when it was
dangerous to be out of doors at all. The last week of November, 1856, Mr. Reinke
says tho snow was four feet deep on the level; in ravines in many places the snow
was twenty feet deep. The storm had continued so long that everybody thought
tho world was near the end. In these early storms, wild animals such as elk
would often break through the snow, sinking to the body and then perish, unable
to help themselves. The only person who perished in these dreadful storms in this
neighborhood was John Kumpf, father of Mrs. Wm. Bucher, Mrs. Lusche and
Charles Kumpf. Mr. Kumpf lived near Mr. Reinke. In returning home from
Columbus one day he lost his way in the storm and was found first by Mr. Reinke,
frozen stiff. This was about the 30th of December, 1863. Mr. Reinke is a friend
of tho Indians, and thinks they havo been given a worso name than they deserve.
The only trouble ho ever had with them was in August, 1857. He and Henry
Lusche were on top of his house shingling the roof, when some Omaha Indians
came along and ordered them to give them food. They gavo them what they
thought sufficient, but they wanted more and finally Mr. Reinko put them out of
the houso bodily. This enraged one to shooting with his bow several arrows
through the window, but upon aiming a good gun at him the Indian with his com
panions left. Mr. Reinke was married to a most excellent woman, Margaret
Pilling, September 20, 1861. They have had six children born to them, four of
whom are living, Mrs. W. T. Ernst, Mrs. George Bradsbaw, Mrs. Walter Butler
and Mrs. Clint Stevenson. Mr. Reinke has a brother, Ferdinand Reinke, living at
Ewing, Nebraska, a half sister, Mrs. August Ronge, and another sister, Mra.
Labens, living near this city. Mr. Reinko is one of the directors of the Com
mercial bank.
Doctors Martyn, Evans and Geer
brought a specialist Dr. Alexander
Ferguson, here from Chicago last week
to consult in several particular cases.
Dr. Ferguson is a doctor in the post
graduate college of Chicago, a specialist
in surgery from Berlin. Among several
operations performed that of Miss Lena
Wuethrich was of great importance.
Miss Wuethrich, it will bo remembered,
fell from a tree last August, from which
she has suffered since. The operation
was to remove part of tho spinal column.
W. B. Backus, principal of the Chad
ron schools, says the Lincoln Journal,
has received an appointment from tho
commissioner of Indian affairs to pre
pare an Indian school exhibit and take
it to the Paris exposition. Mr. Backns
had a school on exhibition at the World's
Columbian exposition at Chicago, and
his Paris venture will be on the same
lines, but probably on a larger scale.
He expects to secure about sixty edu
cated Indians to take with him, and will
have twelve assistants, experts in the
matter of Indian schools.
Monday morning an accident occur
red at the residence of T. H. Williams
that might have been a serions matter if
the circumstances had been slightly
different A lad of fifteen had an air
gun, which he supposed was not loaded.
His younger sister told him there was no
use of his going hunting, and playfully
he put the gun near her cheek; the gun
was loaded, however, and the shot made
a wound in the cheek, penetrating to the
bone, but not doing serious damage.
The scare all around was a fearful strain
for awhile. Tho family are to be con
gratulated on the escape.
The following, which we find going
the rounds just now, is given as the gov
ernment formula for hog cholera, as
given in bulletin No. 157, of the Michi
gan Experiment Station: "One pound
each of sulphur, wood charcoal, sulphate
of soda and sulphide of antimony, and
two pounds each of salt, bicarbonate of
soda and byposulphate of soda. The
dose is a teaspoonfnl to each 200-pound
hog, given in a little water, shaken thor
oughly, with a small bottle." Put it into
your farm scrap book, and it may be the
means sometime of saving you a heap of
money.
Fred. Henggler of. the vicinity of
Bellwood writes The Joubkai. on busi
ness, and besides that, says that from
the accident which happened himvsome
time since, he is getting along very
nicely. He is able to walk around in the
house, but thinks it will be some time
before he can do any work. Corn husk

during the evening, and the many friends
who called spent a happy hour as a
remembrance to the old year.
Superintendent Leavy of the Platte
county schools says that in their depart
ment of tho State Teachers' association,
the following were among the topics dis
cussed: The laws should be observed in
regard to both moral and literary attain
ments; equipments for school work
should be provided a penny policy
should bo discouraged; the press should
be regarded by teachers and snperin
ents as one of the great aids in their
work; the normal schools and colleges
are to be regarded as among tho greatest
factors in the progress of the public
schools, because to them we look for cul
tured youth, especially prepared to
teach, and the more of these, the fewer
the incapables will be employed to try
to teach; every teacher should read at
least one good educational journal.
C. K. Davies of the vicinity of Silver
Creek was in the city Wednesday on

doing more or less in that line: Mc
Queenone mile west, where some 4,500
sheep are being fed; Moore &. Son, some
520 head of cattle and 2,000 sheep; Swift
& Ca, 1,100 head of cattle, all of them
with hogs, in addition to the other stock.
The prices of hay and grain are consider
ably strengthened because of nearness
to this feeding market, and from what
merchants and others say, farmers are
pulling out of debt in good shape. Of
three real estate mortgages cancelled
last week, one was not due for three
years, and drawing but 6 per cent in
terest, yet the farmer paid it all up, with
2 per cent additional for the privilege
of doing so. As for himself, Mr. Davies
lis satisfied with his investment in Duroo
V
insond ftoKion.

Dr. Chas. W. Little, the osteopathist
who practices his particular method of
cure at Lincoln, and who was arrested
recently, charged with practicing medi
cine without a certificate, was arraigned
Thursday and bound over to the dis
trict court. The Lincoln Journal says:
"The three witnesses for the prosecu
tion who wero subpoenaed merely to
prove that Dr. Little had given them
osteopathic treatment, were unanimous
in their testimony that osteopathy had
done splendid work in their cases which
before taking treatment had been chron
ic and unyielding. A fourth witness,
who bad been subpoenaed by the prose
cution expressed himself as anxious to
go upon tho stand and testify how the
treatment bad cured him, but he was
not called. Mr. Lane took occasion to
"roast" Detective Malone, who signed
the complaint because he was acting as
a scapegoat for some physicians, who,
the attorney declared, were the real
complainants. On taking the stand Dr.
Little proceeded to define osteopathy as
a method of treating by manipulation
based upon a very thorough knowledge
of anatomy and physiology, the design
of the osteopath being to restore the
structure as nearly as possible to a nor
mal position, take the strain off the
various nerve centers and give nature all
the chance possible to regain her bal
ance. No rubbing is done. Reputable
osteopathic schools demand a recorded
personal attendance of twenty months
and an educational qualification to
enter."

MAJESTIC
Superintendent Williams' paper,
read at tho Stato Teachers' association,
was listened to with marked attention.
Tho subject was What effect the indus
trial habits of pupils have upon their
intellectual advancement, and how far
parents are responsible for theso indus
trial habits. A healthful condition of
the mind naturally accompanies activity
of tho body, and a very strong desire to
engage in remunerative, useful labor of
sonio sort, and in tho doing of this como
the most valuable suggestions of mental
mothods. It is a well-known fact that,
as a rule, pupils who do work at home
havo the best standing in their classes; a
better appreciation of tho value of learn
ing; nnd animated with a greater desire
to succeed. Most parents oonld furnish
their children manual work, but somo
seem to have absolutely nothing to do,
from this fact probably the industrial
department of the public school has
risen to view, nnd is looked upon with
more or less favor. Tho large cities can
havo a special department there aro so
many pupils. Tho smallest town may,
as in Minden, this state, engage the ser
vices of a jnechanic at his shop one hour
a day to instruct a certain number of
pupils in somo of the details of his trade,
tho teacher accompanying them. In the
discussion of tho paper, one man said
that parents should eoo to it that the
timo of the pupils nt home is occupied
in somo useful way; it is not so much
quantity as quality of work.
The family of Judge J. W. Eller of
Omaha aro having quite nn experience.
A gasoline stove exploded and mem
bers of the family were burned severely.
The wholo family it is said aro Christian
Scientists, of that branch of the sect who
do not believe in using any physical
appliances whatever in the way of cure,
and so have called in none but Christian
Scienco healers, saying if their assistance
could not avail, it was not worth while
to call the ordinary physician. Mrs.
Eller died Tuesday of last week, Mr.
Eller is in a precarious condition, and
two other members of the family, it is
said, are suffering from frightful burns.
Ono of the healers mentioned is J. R.
Clarkson, until recently one of tho most
prominent lawyers of Omaha, and an
ex-member of the district bench. Ho
gavo up tho law to become a Christian
Science healer. Mr. Eller was a county
judge of Douglas county, and well-known
to many Journal readers as a promi
nent politician nnd attorney of Fillmore
county, who some years ago removed to
the metropolis. Incidents like those
.hero referred to are becoming so com
mon; there are so many hundreds of
people who through years of drug-taking
havo failed to find permanent cure for
their ailments, and who at least think
they havo found it in living according to
the principles laid down in Mrs. Eddy's
book, which is the recognized nuthority
of the sect; the adherents are so ardent
in their belief and so firmly grounded
that, with some of them, zeal outruns
knowledge. That they have a fast hold
upon certain important truths there
cannot well be any doubt, but the ordi
nary man, when he feels the pangs of
hunger, will seek satisfaction through
the ordinary bread; when these ordinary
pangs are mistaken for the hunger and
thirst after "righteousness," there will,
of course, be trouble to those who err in
trying to substitute the former forthe
"Bread of Life." The writer of this
believes that most troubles arise from
confounding things that have little or no
connection or even similarity. Most
current systems of thought have many
things to commend them, but none of
them are infallibly correct. Progress is
written on all the motive forces of the
world, and this because the creature
may always approach to, but never fully
comprehend the Creator. Hence man
kind can always improve upon all their
conditions, and in the meantime they
may certainly know whether they are on
tha right road.
