The Ulysses Dispatch is a populist
paper, and has this to say: -Gov. Poyn
ter has appointed Fred Jewell of the
Auditor's office as his private secretary,
and forthwith a howl goes up from the
pop camp. They think Jewell has had
enough, as he has had a fat job with the
Auditor. And why not pass tho plums
around? This thing of keeping a few
men at the public crib all the time is
the republican way of doing things and
will cause no end of trouble. Let the
whole outfit of appointees be turned out
and a new set put in. Pass the pie
around. There are hundreds of good,
worthy men, deserving and needy. Give
us a new deal." It is not our funeral,
of course, but Jewell is a good deal bet
ter than some of the rest of them.'

Ex-Superintendent Miller of the
Fremont public schools, called upon to
explain how it is that Fremont is said
not to fit its scholars as well as other
places of like size in the state, said the
report came from the fact that Fromont
did not arrange her courses of study ex
actly as the State University wished her
to do. It was simply a question of
which knew what is beet for the Fre
mont schools, and the superintendent
thought that the schools should be to
educate the students in the way the
most of them needed. The Fremont
high school is an accredited school with
the State University, and it moreover
carries on its branches as it thinks best,
always being anxious to get the best re
sults with the pupila So says the Trib
une. It seems that Fremont has learned
that it does not pay to conduct the lo
cal public schools with the sole purpose
of making them feeders for the State
University. A very small percentage of
high school pupils become university
students.

when near the Elkhorn depot were met
by a drove of cattle driven by Dave
Hale. The team became frightened and
started out at a brisk pace, turning the
corner at the Ripp property. As they
turned the corner, a hind wheel gave
way and the occupants were thrown
headlong to the ground. An old lady, a
sister of Mr. Steinhaus, received a frac
ture of the collar and shoulder bone,
Amiel Steinhaus landed on his head,
causing concussion of the brain, while
the rest of the family escaped with

We have known men to spend hours
in finding the proper way to measure
hay in the stack. If yon will clip this
item for your scrap-book, it may save
you both time and expense, whether you
sell or buy. We clip from the Albion
News: "There is always a great deal of
controversy over the correct way of
measuring hay in the stack and comput
ing the amount in tons. There are
almost as many different methods as
there are buyers and sellers and conse
quently a great deal of confusion ensues.
To obviate this some of the heavy hay
feeders have adopted the government
rule of measuring hay in stack, which is
probably the most reliable and correct
of any rule in use. It is as follows:
Subtract the width of the stack from
distance over Btack; divide the remain
der by two (2) which gives the height of
the stack in feet. Then multiply height
by width and multiply the product by
the length, which gives cubic feet in
stack. In a ton of hay that has been
stacked thirty days or over are 422 cubic
feet. In newly stacked hay the govern
ment measure is 512 cubic feet to the
ton."

Tho sunlight here gives the birds good
health and at the same time contributes
to the brilliancy of their plumage. The
conditions here are being taken advant
age of more and more by bird fanciers
and hen farmers. It would surprise any
man who has not looked into the sub
ject to find how much money is invested
in the business in this state, how many
fine fowls there aro here, and how much
money is brought into the state by the
sale of birds and eggs. Nebraska was
the natural homo of the wild fowl in
the old days. It is the home of the
tame fowl as well, and the people who
have learned how to handle them are
not often bothering themselves about
hard times. Lincoln Journal.
A special dispatch to the Omaha
'World-Herald, from Leigh, under date
of January 7, says: "A distressing and
what may prove to be a fatal shooting
occurred at the farm of Mr. Sommers,
two miles south of this place, this after
noon, of which Charles Moran, a 11-year-old
son of Representative O. S. Moran of
Platte county, was the victim. It
appears that young Moran and an older
brother were out hunting during the day
and had called at the farm of Mr. Som
mers, who is the grandfather of the boys.
Charles Moran was standing in the door
yard when his brother, who was coming
around the bouse with a shotgun in his
hands, slipped and fell. The gun which
he held was exploded, discharging a
chargo of birdsbot, which struck young
Moran in the right breast, inflicting a
very painful and dangerous wound. Dr.
J. H. Lowery of this place was at once
summoned to the place and dressed the
wound. He reports the boy this even
ing as resting as easy as could be
ezpected under the circumstances. The
doctor is inclined to think no shot have
penetrated the lungs, as there has been
no hemorrhage. Hon. O. S. Moran, the
boy's father, is a member of the present
legislature and is now at Lincoln."

Casper Kartbaus died at his home in
this city between 1 and 2 o'clock Thurs
day morning. His death was sudden, as
he had been ill and confined to the bouse
only since Thursday night. The imme
diate cause of his death was heart failure,
superinduced by influenza, and Bright's
disease, which had weakened his consti
tution. He had not been in good health
for some time past. Mr. Kartbaus was
but 35 years old and was a popular and
enterprising member of Humphrey bus
iness circles.

Wreck at Saael.
Monday morning at 4:45, fifteen miles
east of Sidney, train No. 3, fast passen
ger, drawn by engines No. 1804 and No.
1802, ran into train No. 2, drawn by en-
gine co. joub, me former west Donna,
the latter coming east, collided. The

ton, Ia, instantly crushed to death; Dell
Banner, engineer, internally hurt, ribs
broken; died at 4:30 p. m.; Miss Myrtle
Armstrong, Paxton, Neb., charred body

charred body taken from the wreck.
The list of injured is eight persons,
all doing well, some with scalp wounds,
bruised or broken limbs, etc.
Four cars were completely burned and
the three engines piled up together re
sembling an old scrap-iron pile.
The dead bodies were taken to Sidney
on a special train, and an improvised
hospital established in a sleeping car
at the wreck. The damage to the equip
ment is very heavy.
The Old Soldier.
The members of Baker Post No. 9, and
Union Camp 134 and their friends to the
number of about seventy-five, met at
their hall Saturday night for installation
of officers. The Sons were the first to
install, which was dono by oflcer Bert J.
Galley, who first read his orders from
headquarters. After the installation,
Capt. John Tannahill made his appoint
ments as follows: First Sergeant, Bert
J. Galley; Quartermaster Sergeant, Ed.
H. Jenkins; Chaplain, H. B. Reed. The
captain then gave way to the G. A. R.
post, when their officers were installed
by installing officer John Tannahill. The
different officers who were sworn in were
presented at the altar by officer of the
day Rossiter in a very impressive man
ner, and he was not satisfied unless each
could do the "right about," according to
his idea, and many of them made a fine
appearance, showing that they had not
forgotten the days of '61-5.
When installation was over which was
at 1025, and supper was prepared with
steaming hot coffee and genuine pure
cream from Alexander's, all were ready
to partake. A committee of Sons who
had been detailed to wait upon tho
guests started to serve all. Comrade
Adams' big bass drum was loaded down
with plates heaped with good things to
eat, and carried into the middle of the
hall, when a squad of old soldiers kneeled
and sat around the mess as in the army
days, when Commander J. H. Galley
favored the crowd not with a blessing
but a comic song which brought down
the house, and from that time the fun
began. Supper lasted about three-quarters
of an hour, when the awkward squad
came out headed by the great actor,
Comrade Rossiter. Then there was
singing of army songs by the whole
audience, after which Colonel James R.
Meagher, "the only," brought out his
trained lieutenants and gave the laugh
ing farce entitled the "Sioux Horse
Dance," which brought forth great
applause, as be gave it so natural that
one could almost imagine himself in an
Indian camp on the plains. Everybody
enjoyed themselves till near midnight,
when all started reluctantly for home,
declaring it the most enjoyable meeting
they have held for five years. Steps are
being taken to reorganize the Woman's
Relief Corps, a number of names having
been signed for a new charter. We think
in a town the size of Columbus that we
ought to have a corps.
