Stella M., wife of John C. Baker, one of tho famous singing family of Bakers, died recently at Antioch, 111. There were five members of the com pany, and they began their public career in 1844. Many older readers of Tiie Journal remember them well. Lawrence Bruner, in a lengthy com munication in the Lincoln Journal, makes a very strong plea for protection of the birds, on the score of their useful ness in checking the undue increase of insects, devouring small rodents, and de stroying the seeds of noxious weeds. Mr. Gietzen, father of J. B. Gietzen of Columbus and Henry Gietzen of Humphrey, died Wednesday night at the home of his son Henry. He was quite aged and had been ailing for some time. The funeral will probably be held to morrow (Friday). Humphrey Democrat This Wednesday evening, the Hook & Ladder Company have their annual mask ball.

Our neighbor county Madison owes in registered county warrants $18,089; had a balance on had July 1, 1898 of $67,833.99, and on December 31, 1898, SC6.215.47, and of this, $23,472 is railroad bond fund and $14,542 district school fund. From tho county judge fines to the amount of $65 were received; inter est from banks on county money depos ited with them, $693.55. The Journal enters an objection to the literary theft that is so common these times. Among the latest noticed is a paragraph in regard to Mrs. Stowe, written by that princess of correspond ents. Lilian Whiting, going the country over in the patent sides of the news papers without credit either to the Chicago Inter Ocean, or the able writer who has furnished so many excellent articles for that paper. sjmmmmmmmK Tuuuuuuiuuiuw; LfACOB GUTER was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, November 19, 1288. 31 Came to America in 1852, and to Columbus in 1856, when tho Town Com gfclj pany came out. They were Vincent Kummer, captain; Charles Turner, surveyor; John C. Wolfel, carpenter; Fred. Gottschalk, Jacob Lewis, Jacob Outer, Carl Reinke, Henry Lusche, Michael Smith, Adam Denk and John Held, privates. He was twico in the west, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, prospecting for gold, finally settling on land east of this city where he now resides. In 1865 he was married to Miss Rosa Egger. They have had five children, viz: Jacob Guter, William Guter, Emma (Mrs. Pittman), August Guter, Mary (Mrs. Chantre), all living except William. Plenty of snow in the Rocky moun tain region has always been regarded as a sure indication of a spring and summer favorable to the farmers in the lowlands, the melting of the snow in the heights as the season advances, surcharging the atmosphere with moisture. Wo can, then, confidently expect very favorable weather for crops. The farmer's problem is thus very neatly stated by an experienced tiller of the soil: The object of the farmer should be to raise, from a given extent of land, the largest quantity of the most valuable produce at the least cost, in the shortest period of time, and with least permanent injury to the soil. If you can better that, let us hear from you. Henry Hewitt says that in his neigh borhood there have been quite a number of losses of cattle from the disease called blackleg, some farmers losing 8 or 10 a week, sometimes 3 or 4 a day. He has helped vaccinate during the winter 200 head, and the remedy, very easily ap plied, is very effectual, not a single animal being lost, when three days elapsed between vaccination and ex posure. Tho Cecilian club entertained the musical department of the woman's club Friday afternoon at the home of L. Gerrard. Tho guessing the portraits of great musicians took up most of the afternoon, Mrs. McAllister winning the first prize, a musical booklet, while Mrs. Heintz received the second prize, a bust statuette of Listz. Refreshments were served and all declared they had spent a most enjoyable afternoon. David Thomas of Postville was in the city Monday on his return from Omaha, where he had been on the market Saturday last with a car load of fat hogs, getting the top of the market for that day, $3.57J, of the seventy cars there that day only six car loads bringing so high a price. Mr. Thomas stopped over at Fremont to visit his son, T. D., who is attending the Normal there. He also saw Ed. Hoare, who has his office there. Last Wednesday, about 2:30, while being waited upon at Friedhofs store. Mrs. Louis Asche fell backwards, and expired in a few moments. In the midst of a sentence while she was speaking, she fell. Her home was about twelve miles northeast of the city, near the Colfax county line. She leaves six children, besides her husband to mourn her loss. The funeral took place Satur day, burial at the Loseke church cem etery. ' Those we have heard speak of Rev. Butler's lecture, the fourth entertain ment of the High school course, say it was very good. From what we can learn, his theme, boiled down, might be para phrased by a modified quotation from Shakspeare: AU the world's a hotel. And all the men and women are but guests. The hotel, however, being on the Euro pean plan you order what you wish, and get what yon order. C. J. Garlow as one of the head camp officials and J. H. Johannes -as a delegate from Columbian camp No. 35, Woodmen of the World, attended the Head camp of District A, at Topeka, Kansas, last week.

Will was taken very sick last fall; has had three abscesses of the liver and trouble with his lungs, and now comes back a pretty sick boy to be taken care of at home. The John F. Stowe Uncle Tom's Cabin that is to appear at the opera house, Feb. 28, is, without doubt, the largest and best on the road. They carry forty people, an, immense quantity of special scenery, many new and novel features, including tho thrilling and in spiring American military spectacle, during which a reproduced the blow ing up of the battle-ship "Maine." A grand cake walk. The animated song sheet. Two quartettes. Magnificent scenery. Wonderful mechanical effects. Acting dogs, etc. All under the per sonal direction of Mr. John F. Stowe, a nephew of the celebrated authoress, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. It The Omaha World-Herald's Year Book and Quarterly Review for 1899 is on our table, and is one of the very best of its kind that we have seen a verit able cyclopedia of statistics and history, price 25 cents. To give the index alone would take several columns of The Jour nal and there are many, very meny things in it that cannot be found in most cyclopedias. "If you have important business projects in hand, keep them to yourself, or, at most, limit the knowledge of them to tho few trusty friends on whose dis cretion you can rely, and whose advice and assistance you may need. There are few successful business men who do not make this an inflexible rule in their operations. It. saves them infinite trouble, and is one of the secrets of their success." The Declamation contest of the Columbus High school will take place March 10, at the opera house. Admis sion, adults 25 cents, school children 10 cents. Children who furnish music will be admitted f reo of charge. The purpose of this contest is to select some one to represent us in the North Nebraska Declamatory Association, which meets at Norfolk April 5th, the proceeds to defray expenses, and, if there be a sur plus, to place in the piano fund. The public are cordially invited to attend the contest. W. J. Williams, Sup't Fred. Stenger's sale last Wednesday was a very decided success, in every way, amounting to $5,000 in round numbers, with only $310 of notes taken, the remainder being spot cash. The estima tion of tho number present runs as high as a thousand people. Two-year-old heifers brought as high as $40; sucking calves, $16, and horses sold well. Many who were in attendance did not buy because they thought the prices high, but when people are in condition to take advantage of the discount rate for cash, what they give is a fair indication of actual values. There is a false report ont in regard to the case of G. W. Hulst against E. M. Sparhawk. It seems that G. W., once upon a time, not on a Sunday, whilo on his way to tho Haney place, did somo hunting on the public highway through Mr. Sparhawk's farm, and E. M. had him before a court in Butler county for trespass, the suit going in favor of Hulst Tho latter brought suit here against Sparhawk alleging malicious prosecu tion, asking damages in the sum of $500. The jury awarded .him $10 damage. The costs of suit here amounted to $37.38, and not to $100, as has been re ported. No appeal. The suggestion that the Burlington may have a hand in the recent purchase of the old roadbed between Norfolk and Yankton, and may have in contempla tion an extension from Columbus or Schuyler to South Dakotais particu larly grateful to the people of Lincoln. II such a road is built it will give this city exactly the same mileage to northern Nebraska, via the new line, as Omaha, whereas a new line to the north from the metropolis would put us at a considera ble disadvantage. The Burlington has struck out boldly into northern and northwestern Nebraska in the past and there seems to be no good reason why it cannot extend a feeder toward the north now, and enjoy some of the prosperity that exists in the northeastern corner of the itate. Lincoln Journal TIE MOKES' GRAND Mask - Ball TASK FLACK THIS Wiiusiay Eiiiiig. Big Time! Lots of Fun. In the Omaha Bee of Thursday, February 6, is a long list of lands and lots in Platte as well as other counties of the state that are for sale under a mortgage foreclosure against the Union Pacific railroad, the sale to be at Omaha, Douglas county, Monday, March 6, at 10 o'clock. There has been considerable anxiety on the part of land and lot own ers taking title under the Union Pacific company, and several attorneys have passed over the line making offers of compromise in cases where there is a shadow of a claim. Those interested might be benefitted by seeing the list. This is our only reason for calling atten tion to the notice in the Bee. An ardent gold standard man has this to relate. There were two brothers, twins, who greatly resembled each other, so that even their most intimate acquain tances had difficulty sometimes in dis tinguishing between them. One of these was sheriff of a county, and during the term of his office, his twin brother went crazy, and it became his duty to convey him to the asylum. On arrival, the authorities were in a quandray, and sent a message of inquiry to the county authorities, to this effect: '"There are two men here that look exactly alike; one of them is continually talking about building a direct line of railroad to the moon, the other is continually talking about 16 to 1. Which one do we keep?" Considerable excitement prevails about five miles southeast of Rising City. A few days ago a horse of ex-Representative Dave Hamilton was seized with fits of coughing, at the same time frothing at tho mouth and appearing in great misery. The next morning tho horso was found dead. Soon afterwards another horse was takon the same way and died in a day or two. Then a neigh bor's cow had the same symptoms as the horses and soon died. Soon it was found that a dog of Mrs. A. Lomo had hydro phobia. It is supposed that the dog had bitten the cow and the horses and inoc ulated them, thus causing their death. No person has been bitten by a dog, so far as known, but all dogs found away from home are being shot. Bellwood Gazette. I. Gluck tells us that Mr. Newman, his son-in-law, had quite an experience lately in Chicago. He is a. grocer, and in the regular course of business one day, a negro came and placed an order for twenty-five dollars' worth of grocer ies to be delivered at a certain hotel, naming it. Mr. Newman, coming in while the order was being filled, thought there was something peculiar about it, to say the least, and so went along with the delivery man, but just as they drove in with the groceries at one end of the hotel alley policemen camo in at the other end and nabbed three negroes that thoy had been on the track of for some time as "crooks," one of them be ing the negro that had ordered the gro ceries. Mr. Newman and the police bad not communicated with each other. Many Seward people mourn tho loss of their entire crop of house plants and flowers. Many have also lost all the canned fruits and vegetables thoy had storred away in their cellars. The long continued and intense cold penetrated many of the best cellars in town, and for the first time everything in them was frozen. Many people in moderate cir cumstances will feel the loss of their fruit and vegetables, as they were a good part of their living Wo hear a good deal of complaint the past few days about fruit trees being injured by the extreme cold weather. The branches and bodies of many trees have bnrsted open from the hard freezing, somo trees having long splits in them from this cause. Tho long continued extreme cold froze the sap, resulting in the burst ing of the wood. Such a thing has never been known here before, and the pros pect for fruit this year is certainly not very flattering. Seward Blade. S. E. Marty of this city has received word that his nephew, Fred Marty, aged 28 years, who, with his wife Agnes, and baby Edwin, fifteen months old, perished in the destruction by fire February 14, of Arlington flats, corner Forty-first and Grand boulevard, Chicago. All hope of finding them has been given up. Twenty families occupied the building, which had long been considered u fire trap. There was only ono exit and no fire escape, and it was a wonder that nearly all tho occupants did not perish. One woman said she met a man in a hall-way, bearing a female form in his arms, and who was evidently in a dazed condition, and it is supposed that this was Mr. Marty. Shortly afterwards there were several explosions, shaking the building, precipitating the roof through the floora below, and all into the basement. Watches belonging to the unfortunate man and wife, were found, but no traces of their bodies Mr. Marty visited his nephew here several years ago. In the habeas corpus proceedings of Frank Fryson, who is charged with be ing a fugitive from justice, Judge Baker of Omaha announced a doctrine from the bench, radically different from that or Judge Scott in the Claus Hubbard case. The Bee says: "Judge Scott de clared that a policeman has no authority to arrest without a warrant, and that the party arrested has a right to defend his liberty, even to the extreme of shoot ing the officer. Judge Baker holds that a policeman has full authority to arrest without any warrant where the suspicion is a reasonable one. He uses the il lustration of an incendiary fire just started from which a man is seen run ning away. The police officer arrests him, naturally suspecting the man of having fired the building, bnt it turns out that the person arrested was simply running after a doctor and had no con nection with the fire whatever. The po liceman, Judge Baker says, was justified in making the arrest under the circum stances. However, the court concedes that where the party arrested is inno cent the arrest is made at the police officer's peril when not fortified with a warrant'' iaVBBaV JENRY RAGATZ t CO., GROCERIES, CROCKERY, GLASSWARE, LAMPS, ETC.
