A telegram to the Omaha Bee last Thursday reported four burials in two days, with several serious cases of sickness. The city marshal at St. Edward has ordered all the slot machines taken from the different business places there, also the card tables, chairs and screens from the saloons. A man at Newman Grove shot a rifle, the ball going through the rat, which he aimed at, through a partition and into the foot of his brother, causing a very serious wound. Melvin, son of M. Brugger, was ac cidentally wounded recently by a shot in the leg from a target gun in the hands of an older brother. The wound was not at any time considered dangerous. C. J. Garlow was at Council Bluffs last week on business connected with the estate of the late William H. Ronan, the Union Pacific fireman killed in the wreck at Silver Creek last October. Schuyler purposes to enforce their curfew ordinance which forbids children under eighteen years of age from being on the street after nine o'clock unless accompanied by parents or guardian. We notice that the new officers of the Nebraska Central Irrigation com pany are? Pres H. E. Babcock; 1st Vice, Fitz Jaeggi; 2nd Vice, Leopold Jaeggi; Sec'y., L Sibber nsen; Treas A. Kendall.

Heintzand Pollock & Co. H. G. Cross begins today, travel ing as general agent for the Farmers' Mutual Hail Insurance Association, with a large territory extending north of the Platte river and from Merrick coun ty, to the Missouri. It seems that L N. Taylor in his pamphlet history of Platte county, pub lished in 1876, was mistaken in putting E. W. Toncray as the first sheriff of Platte county. It was Cyrus Tollman, and C. A. Speice was his depnty. The sunlight is the great vital force of all organized things." Therefore live much in the light and let it shine in every room of your dwelling. It is said that Josiah Quincey, who lived to the age of 91 years, took a sun-bath daily. Last Sunday evening there was a general meeting of the Orpheus, with election of officers for the coming year. President, F. A. Hagel; Vice Pres't., W. F. Schram; Sec'y, Will Gregorious; Treas., J. F. Berney; Stewart, Wm. Hagel. The Journal of Osteopathy, pub lished at Kirksville, Missouri, is at the head of the journals published in the interest of the new method of treating diseases and bodily ailments. We ac knowledge the receipt of the January number. Delegates to Beatrice speak very highly of the plant and work of the Dempster Manufacturing company there, who employ 200 to 225 men, and make windmills and pumps, besides operating a foundry. It is an institution worthy of the state. We understand that Rev. A. E. Koables is to give a free stereopticon entertainment at the Congregational church this (Wednesday) evening. Mr. Keables is assistant at the Child Saving Institute, Omaha, and doubtless a good entertainer. One more interesting incident of the naval engagement at Manila is ex ploded by the truth. The fighting on that celebrated morning was not stopped for broakfast, but because they were running short of ammunition for the five-inch guns. Professor Bruner of the State Uni versity recently gave a lecture in Omaha for the humane society of that city. He said he would not on any consideration shoot the quail; that they are very val uable to the farming community in pro tecting crops from destroying insects. The organization of humane socities would not be out of the way in every town in the country. Why should teams be allowed, during bitter cold weather, to be tied out in the wind, without even a blanket to protect them, and this for hours and hours at a time? At the last meeting of the Fire department the following officers were elected for the year 1899: President, Louis Held; vice president, W. J. Gre gorius; secretary, P. F. Luchsinger; treasurer, G. A. Plath; chief, Bert. J. Galley; assistant, E. D. Brink; janitor, Wm. Becker. A freak in the form of a little girl, not to exceed 12 years of age, with a full beard, was on the streets of Chadron Tuesday. The girl was evidently from the country, for she endeavored to keep in seclusion as much as possible and hide her face with her hands when on the street. Ex. It is well known that harness made by T. H. Rusch will last longer and give better satisfaction than any other make. He uses the best Oak Tanned leather and employs only experienced workmen. Give him a call at No. 319, 11th St opposite Lindell Hotel, before purchasing elsewhere. lOt. Henry Ziebach, living on a farm of Fred Stenger'a northeast of the city, died Thursday, leaving a wife and several small children to mourn his loss. His last sickness had been developed from a severe spell of grip. He was buried Saturday, Rev. DeGeller conduct ing services. Chaa. Flynn, a member of Co. K., of Columbus, who recently arrived from the Philippines, was in Albion this week visiting a brother and sister. At every opportunity a crowd gathers around him and get him to tell of the scenes and incidents of his sojourn among the Filipinos. News. Rev. Weed has been doing some ac tive missionary work in surrounding towns together with his regular work here. We learn that he has been instru mental in raising $1,000 for a new Epis copal church in Genoa and $200 in Fullerton for the same purpose, besides having the lots for both paid for. Misses Phoebe and Grace Gerrard entertained about twenty of their young lady friends Saturday afternoon. Part of the time was passed in guessing ad; vertisements, Miss Nellie Post gaining first prize, Miss Mary Henry second and Miss Anna Gietzen third. An elegant supper was served at six o'clock. D. Brnnken thinks that something in the way of legislation is needed to preserve the general public against the wiles of the bicyclists, who trundle along the road, and often rush past a young team without any previous warn ing whatever. If they were only re quired to ring a bell a few rods off, and alow up a little, it would be something. The high school rooms were dis missed this, Tuesday morning, on ac count of the furnace not working satis factorily. Every once in a while during the winter the furnace has been in poor condition, filling the rooms full of gas and smoke instead of hot air, and the school board now decided to dismiss school for a few days to repair the stove. The X ray has been applied to the head of inmates in an asylum for the in sane, and in two cases tumors have been located in the brains of the subjects of examination. It is believed that much good may result from this use of the in strument, and perhaps a great many victims of brain trouble be relieved from maladies heretofore regarded as incurable. Julius Mullonhoff, an honored citi zen who lived some three miles south of Leigh, died Sunday, Jan. 22, of paralysis. The funeral services were at Boheet church, Rev. Frank officiating. He was bom in Mane, Germany, March 17, 1838. He leaves a widow, three sons and three daughters. He had been a resident of Colfax couaty some ten years. Leigh World. Isaac Brock returned home from Manila one day last week. He has been sick the last three months, but is now improving. He brought with him sever al interesting things of Asiatic manu facture; he also has a very interesting collection of coins, mostly copper, some pieces fully as large as an American silver dollar. Roy Clark of Woodville township was in the city Friday, on his way home from Lincoln, where he had been for two weeks. By the way, the speaker of the house of representatives is a brother of Roy's, and lived with him three years in Platte county in the Ws, then attended the State University at Lincoln, was ad mitted to the bar there, and elected to the legislature. Roy thinks it doubtful if Hayward is elected. Beatrice, our neighbor city away down the Blue, is afflicted with an epi demic of measlee, mumps and scarlet fever, with no signs of abatement in a month past. During last week, there was an average of ten new cases re ported each day. Many parents have not been exempt and in several families all the members have been afflicted at once, in one family all three diseases named claiming victims at tho same time. Excitement ran wild in our city Wednesday morning, when the report of a case of email pox at the home of O. W. Stroud, was circulated. The patient is a nephew of Mr. Stroud, who recently came here on a visit from Nebraska City. The case is a very mild one so mild in fact as to be disputed as having any signs of small pox. The premises have been quarantined and every precaution taken to prevent spread of the disease. David City Press. "The progress of the world," the editorial department of the Review of Reviews, deals this month with the new problems of colonial administration now confronting the country, with the Sena torial campaigns in the different States, with the polygamy question, with the question of army beef in its bearings on the reorganization of the War Depart ment, with our recent industrial prog ress, protective tariffs, and the "trusts," and with the month's developments in foreigu politics. A STUEET IN PLATTE CENTEB. f0HE village of Platte Center is located in a beautiful rolling country, sur 11 rounded by rich farming land. Elm creek, a narrow stream with deep u banks runs directly through the town from northwest to southeast. The i bridge in the middle of the street, as shown in tho picture, is over this stream. Platte Center, as its name implies, is near the center of Platte county. As a grain market, the town has few equals for its size, this bringing a good sub stantial trade for the merchants. The Columbus & Norfolk line of the Union Pacific supply good shipping facilities. Frequently accidents occur in the household, which cause burns, cuts, sprains and bruises. For us in such cases BALLARD'S SNOW LINIMENT has for many years been the constant favorite remedy. Price 25 cts. and 50 eta Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock & Co. It seems sad that after a couple has been married for thirty years they should disagree and separate as is the case of our old time citizens, Mr. and Mrs. James Zollman of Shell Creek pre cinct. Mrs. Zollman asked for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty and it was granted her Monday by Judge Hollen back at a short term of court held here Monday. By the decree Mra Zollman is to receive $2,000 alimony, in lieu of any property dower. They have been married 31 years and have children, all grown and all married. Schuyler Sun. The case of Guy C. Barnum against the Commercial Bank is one of consider able interest. The county court had undertaken to appoint a guardian for Barnum (then alleged to be insane), not without protest that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter. The guar dian, however, was appointed, and pro ceeded to make collections, among them being $1,000 deposited at the Commer cial Bank. It was this sum that Mr. Barnum by this suit sought to recover, and the court holds with him that the order of the county court appointing the guardian is void. Representative Moran, of Platte county is at work on a bill contemplat ing the removal of the capitol to Colum bus. It is expected that the bill will meet with much favor by many of the members as it mnst be conceded by all that Lincoln is unsuited in every partic ular for the seat of government. What lends some significancy to the "above item going the rounds of the North Platto papers is that it originates with the Lincoln correspondent of the Fuller ton Post, probably representative Tan ner of this Float district, editor of the Post The case of O'Shea and McBride against Sheriff Kavanaugh has one feature that is of general interest In foreclosure proceedings, the sheriff had gone so far as to advertise the real estate for sale, but before the day of sale the judgment and costs were paid, but these latter included the sheriff's fee for the sale of the land, which this suit was designed to recover. The decision has now been twice made in Kavanaugh's favor, the court holding that be is entitled to fees on the amount of money received and disbursed by him, whether there was a sale or not Bert Galley tells us of a -visit by a delegation of the firemen, when they were at Beatrice, to the State institute for feeble-minded, over which Miss Abbie Keating presides at matron (who, by the way, is probably the youngest lady in the world who occupies such an important position). The institution is about three miles from Beatrice, very pleasantly sit uated on a hill and kept in the very best of order. The visitors were shown every courtesy by Miss Keating and they went from room to room, witnessing the exer cises in the different departments, and were surprised that the inmates of such an institution could be taught so many things. The calisthenic exercises were especially interesting. After this, they partook of a lunch with the officers and teachers of the institute, thus passing three very pleasant hours of their sojourn at Beatrice. We wish to return our heartfelt thanks to our friends and neighbors and also to the Modern Woodmen who were so kind to us through the sickness of our children, the death and burial of our darling little Willie. R. C. Boyd, S. J. Boyd, and Children. The post-office at Rising City was robbed Saturday morning last at 2 o'clock, the thieves getting $180 in stamps and $8 in cash. The safe was oiown open witn dynamite. The men disappeared through an alley and were seen by Dr. East and John Yordy. About a dollar's worth of stamps was found in the north part of town. Tools for assisting in the work were taken from Gainer's blacksmith shop. From the Monroe Looking Glass we gather that: B. a Thurston has been suffering from an access; Mrs. Ed. Gates who has been quite sick for two weeks, is recovering; Willet Hyatt has returned from Manila; C. E. Bentley, late candi date for the Liberty party for President, spoke to Monroe people, Jan. 31; a great deal of sickness in and around Oconee a complication of grip and measles; Jno. Hedlum recently returned from the army. Hagel k Stevenson have a creamery at Boheet, and quite a number of farm ers have been good customers of theirs in the years gone by, among these John Doersch. From tho Leigh World we get the following summary of what he sold to the creamery during the past I year: He milked on an average 23 cows, and never more than 25, and he sold $620.34 worth of cream. This is clear profit to Mr. Doersch, as the milk and calves more than paid all the expenses. The young fellow who was held in the county jail here thirty-five days for obtaining money on the pretense of being a horse buyer is in tho possession of the largest quantitv of gall any one man ever struck this community with. His time was out week before last and yon will be surprised to learn that after all the trouble he had over his bogus deals here, and his passing forged checks on the Columbus bank to Joseph Kudrna and Mrs;-" Janecek, he walked straight to Rogers and began the same kind of operations. Schuyler Quill. Children who are troubled with Worms are pale in the face, fretful by spells, restless in sleep, have blue rings around their eyes, bad dreams, variable appetite, and pick the nose. WHITE'S CREAM VERMIFUGE will kill and expel these parasites. Price 25 cents. ut. a. tieintz and Pollock & Co.- The Stromsburg Headlight gives an extended account of how John Deering, through sickness, had been unable to finish his corn husking; how 27 men, with 15 teams went to work early in the morning, and made a clean job of it be fore night. Those members of the lodge who did not attend the husking bee had to pay S1.25 each, and thus $40 was raised. "Mr. Deering had the misfor tune to fracture an arm last fall and has been unable to gather his corn, which now in a few hours was stored in his cribs through the assistance of his lodge brethren. The Woodman lodge by this act has shown the neighborly feeling that pervades the order and has given out an example worthy of emulation." Thursday afternoon the fire alarm was given at 3 o'clock and the depart ment turned out promptly to the corner of Seventh and Madison streets, at the residence of Jacob Trimppie. A number of his close neighbors, however, had gathered, and the fire was quenched by the bucket brigade, so that it was not necessary to attach the hose, and turn on the city water. The' fire was an impro vised "smoke-house" in which Mr. Trimp pie was smoking the pieces of two hogs. The box in which they were hanging above the fire, (which was below the surface of the ground some three feet) was burned, the outside of the meat con siderably scorched, and the small build ing north of it charred. The Ulysses Dispatch has this to say in regard to Mrs. Warren, who lately sang to an audience at Ulysses: "Mrs. Anna Warren, of Columbus, cun sing like a nightingale. She has a lovely voice, and the culture and training she has evidently had, some time and some where, gives her complete control of it She is modest in public, but neverthe less knows her power, and is therefore composed and perfectly at ease before an audience. If we could sing like her, we would throw our printing office into tho Blue river (providing we couldn't sell it to some good man to preach the gospel of reform,) and sing ourself around the world. Columbus ought to be, and doubtless is, proud of Mrs. Warren.' By a late Cadiz (Ohio) Republican we notice some recent happenings which are more than of local interest, especially to former residents of the little city among the hills of eastern Ohio, and iust now near an exciting oil field of widen ing proportions: Jacob Jarvis, the man who, almost time out of mind, has been Harrison county's surveyor, passed the eighty-fifth anniversary of his birthday last week with John A. Bingham, attor ney, congressman many terms, Judge advocate, U. S. minister to Japan twelve years, and who had the honor of seeing words of his own incorporated into the fundamental law of the country. The other event was the marriage, January 26, of Miss Emma B. Hearn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Hearn, to John S. Carnahan, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Carnahan, the young man being a super intendent of silver mines at Monterey, Mexico. The old friends here of all the parties mentioned, wish them joy of their lives, and congratulate them heartily. ftTOttftrtKteffe insssal Action. agp 9-49949444) Mrs. A. C. Ballon spent Sunday in Schuyler. Miss Pearl Mosgrove went to Lincoln Thursday. John Wiggins was an Omaha visitor Wednesday. Miss Sarah Fitzpatrick is visiting with her sister at Rogers. Mrs. Dr. Baker was a visitor to Lin coln Tuesday of last week. Mrs. James Pearsall went to Omaha Thursday to visit her son Charles. John Wiggins jr., of Fremont came up Saturday to visit bis parents a few days. Frank Fngard of Genoa was visiting over Sunday with his little son, at Frank Hagel's in this city. D. N. Miner started Wednesday last for Van Wert, Ohio, to visit his aged father, who is very ill. Mr. and Mrs. John Tannahill are both sick with the grip and their daughter Eloise with the measles. Mr. and Mrs. Conway of Omaha have been visiting several days with Mrs. Conways' mother, Mra. J. N. Taylor. Miss Alexander of New York left Thursday for her home, after several months' visit with her aunt, Mra Scofield. r MsBlMrPllillafiVI Colambns Opera House, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY - 21st. Death of A. J. Campbell. Andrew J. Campbell, well known to many Journal readers, died Saturday morning last at 9 o'clock of Bright's dis ease, at the residence of David Mowery. He had been ailing for some timo, but only on Wednesday evening preceding his death, did he succumb to tho inevi table. He had a sinking spell Thursday evening, and was even down town for a little while Friday evening. Mr. Camp bell came to Platte county, locating at Humphrey, in 1882, where he lived sev eral years, coming to Columbus with ex Sheriff Caldwell and working for him as deputy sheriff, afterwards holding the same position with ex-Sheriff Kavan augh. At the time of his death he held the office of constable, and we have always understood that he was faithful in the discharge of his duties as an official. Mr. Campbell was 42 years old and the only relative known of is a sister living at Waterford, New York. The funeral took place from Gass' undertak ing rooms at 2:30 Monday afternoon, W. N. Hensley making brief addresses there and at the gravo, and the body laid gently to rest, with the tenderest thoughts of the living for ono who had passed beyond the vail which separates between the seen and the now-unseen worlds. The fatherhood of God is com prehended in the brotherhood of man. That "Steel" Cage. There is no doubt whatever but that burglars, thieves, thugs and crooks in general are better versed now in the art of cracking safes and vaults and getting out of "steel" cages than their ilk of the same order of talent were a quarter of a century ago, but that is no reason why Platte county Bhould continue to use a cage that some declare is not even good soft iron, and can be cut with a common jack-knife. Let us hunt up the contractors, and see if, even at this late day, they will not exchange it for one of the best of steel. The Journal's suggestions heretofore made are seconded by the Telegram, as follows: The workmen who were engaged last week to repair the cells at the county jail made the important discovery that the cells are made from the commonest kind of iron and practically of little value in holding criminals. These cells were purchased by the county some twenty years ago and were supposed to be of a quality known as cold rolled steel. It has been found that they will not resist any ordinary edged tool.

Editor Journal: I have beem much interested in the recent biographical sketches published in The Journal, aud, as I am satisfied thoso sketches will find their way into many scrap-books, and be treasured as souvenirs of the Pioneers that are fast disappearing from our midst, it is of prime import that accuracy in the minor details is essential to the perpetuity of the events recorded, incident to the facts recorded in those sketches around which the memories of their descend en ts cluster with a devotion akin to sacred ness. In the sketch of John Browner, I find the following: "The vor6t case Mr. B. had during his term of sheriff was when a man by the name of Wilson shot a farmer, Mr. Gardner, in Butler county. Mr. Browner arrested Wilson and there being no jail or court bouse in which to put his prisoner, he watched over him all night in the Becker & Wolfel store where he was working." Your inform ant was mistaken. I was present at the shooting, heard the quarrel and its cause, was present at the corner's inquest, (took him to the house of Geo. W. Fulton, where he was chained to the floor by holes being augered and chains passed through and fastened around the joists in the cellar,) listened to the evidence and was present and witnessed the hanging. The murderer's name was Robert Wilson; the name of his victim Hansel B. Grant, of Polk county. The shooting took place on the south side of the present Union Pacific passenger depot, between the track and the Lumber yard, near the present site of Mr. C. A. Speice's office. Much ss I regretted the hanging of Wilson, be it said that the citizens did not "during the trial" take Wilson from the Court, but patiently waited till I had taken all the testimony, and an nounced that he must be taken to some place for safe keeping and held for the murder of Hansel B.

Much more migh be said, but I only desire to put into correct form John Browner's connection with this tragedy of our pioneer life, in defence of our law-abidingcitizens against the brutish, murderous instincts of out-laws. News came over the wire yesterday about noon that a store had been burg larized at Lindeay the night before of a lot of clothing, shoes, gloves, and money to the amount of 8300. Shortly after the news came a man went into the Elkhorn depot and tried to dispose of a new suit of clothes at a very low price. He also had gloves and shoes to sell, explaining the fact by saying that he was one of a party of peddlers who wished to go out of business. There are three of them, and pretty hard-looking customers, too, and word was immediately sent to Lind say describing them and their actions and word was received here to watch them until the arrival of the freight when officers and the merchant would be here to investigate. It was finally con cluded to place them under arrest so as to prevent any possible chance of their escaping, and two of them were put in the jail by Sheriff Patterson and Consta ble Hamilton. As we go to press it has been ascertained that the two men held came from Cedar Rapids theday before and bad staid at Mr. Drake's over night. They will be held until other towns are heard from as they are most decidedly suspicious characters. Albion News. Oa to Sioux City. The following, from the Sioux City Journal, explains itself, and will be gratifying to people in this region: Soon after the Northwestern becomes in fact the owner of the Sioux City and Pacific, the Union Pacific again will run its trains into Sioux City. Overamonth ago President Horace G. Burt, of the Union Pacific, who four years ago was the general manager for the Sioux City and Pacific and Elkhorn, took up this question of again running Union Pacific trains into Sioux City, and it is said the arrangements for doing so have been made and that the consummation of the contract awaits only the termination of the Sioux City and Pacific trouble. The Union Pacific began running trains into Sioux City in 1889 and con tinued to do a good business on the line until the contract with the Northwestern was annulled in February or March, 1894, by the receivers' of the Union Pa cific, who were lopping off expenses in every direction. The receivers found that in the contract which the Union Pacific had with the Omaha road and the Northwestern that good bargaining had not been done in behalf of the Un ion Pacific. The Union Pacific trains left the main line at Columbus and ran to Norfolk over their own tracks. From Norfolk to Sioux City the Omaha tracks were used. A passenger service was in operation between Sioux City and Lin coln, the Burlington tracks being used from Columbus to David City. The rental being paid to the Omaha for the use of its tracks was found to be exhor bitant. In Sioux City the terminal charges and depot rental were unfair. The wheelage basis of the depot was such that the Union Pacific paid much more than its fair share. The cost to the company of every Union Pacific car brought into Sioux City by those rentals was made to be about $2.50. The re ceivers stopped this by withdrawing the Tweatj-lTe years f experi ence in the business has taugkt us what to buy. We are constantly oa the lookout for bargains.
