The organization of humane socities
would not be out of the way in

teams be allowed, during bitter cold
weather, to be tied out in the wind,
without even a blanket to protect them,

D. Brnnken thinks that something
in the way of legislation is needed to

The high school rooms were dis

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

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

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.

"The progress of the world," the
editorial department of the Review of

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

date for the Liberty party for President,

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 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

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.

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. The
company from whom they were bought
should be made to pay all expenses in
curred by the recent jail delivery, and
then pay damages beside for the impo
sition. A Pew Point.
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. Grant The leader

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. Tilt beat
