THE picture we give this week is that of a country residence twelve miles north of Columbus, and two miles north from
the German Baptist church on Shell creek. The farm with the residence now belongs to Anton Krafka, but the
house was built in 1892, by Joseph Schoen, who owned the farm at that time. Mr. Schoen left Germany some thirty-five
years ago, coming to Canada, then to Columbus about twenty-four years ago, buying and settling where he now lives. He
built the residence we reproduce, almost entirely himself, doing the carpenter work, plastering and painting. Mr. and Mrs.
Schoen live in the house, they having permission to make that their home as long as they wish.

In these days of scarcity of coal
resort is made to various devices to keep

accommodating all, though at greater
inconvenience to themselves.
A certain lady north of town is
reported to have about thirty little

in advance of the season. Tho incuba

Wo can say to eastern men having
small holdings of land that they might
better their situation by coming west,
looking over the country, selecting and
purchasing the farm that suits them
and disposing of their property in the
east. With cash you can get two or
three, often four or five times as much
land as you can buy east, and mostly of
better quality, more easily farmed, and
so on. It will pay you to investigate, at
least.
W. Hardy of Leigh is making a
week's visit with his 6on C. C. of this
city. Seven years ago while at work at
his business of well-cleaning, by a mis
hap he fell 85 feet into a well, "breaking
nearly every bone in his body," and lying
in hospital 235 days before he was able
to get out and around again. He is now
63 years old, and with violin and song,
visiting among friends, enjoys life better
than most people who have never fallen
85 feet into a well.
A newspaper whose columns overflow
with advertisements of business men,
says Talmage, the great preacher, has
more influence in attracting attention to
and building up a town than any other
agency that can be employed. People
go where there is business. Capital and
labor where there is an enterprising
community. No power on earth is so
strong to build up a town as a news
paper well patronized, and its power
should be appreciated.
Creameries all through Nebraska
seem to be doing very nicely. The
Schuyler Quill, speaking of their cream
ery, says: The business for January
amounted to the receipt of 18,000 pounds
of milk in excess of the December pur
chase. The total amount received in
January was 155,498 pounds with an
average test of 4-2, yielding 6,256.7
pounds butter fat and at the rate of 15
cents per pound netted'the seventy-six
patrons a total of $970.16.
In last week's Journal was recorded
the death of Ruth, younger daughter of

Snyder of Genoa and King of Grand
Island, the funeral taking place at St

George W. Brown of Cedar Rapids
was in the city Friday on his way to
Humphrey to visit his son Ellis G., the
Union Pacific agent at that place, who is
afflicted with the grip. George looks

Invitations are out for the marriage

Georgie, the 12-year-old son of Mr.

since he was two years old. His mother
will take him to Denver probably going
today, Wednesday, and it is hoped that
in that higher altitude he may find relief
No matter how Nebraska may
scourgo us with drouth, heat or cold, the
dear old commonwealth has a way some
how of coming around in a little while
wreathed in smiles of sweet innocence,
and then it is that we forget and forgive
all, again renewing our pledge of fealty
to a state from which few go away but
to speedily return. Wahoo Wasp.
James Pearsall, who has been at
work quite a while at Monroe and Genoa,

By the way, the word is all around that
a number of business and residence

prospect is good better than in many
years for increased business along all
lines.

E. W. Gunther and wife returned
last Friday from their trip to New
Orleans, Louisiana. They did not suc
ceed in escaping the cold weather even
there. It snowed end froze and no one
had heating stoves to keep it comfortable.
And besides the air is damp and one feels
just as cold there at freezing tempera
ture as they would here at a much lower
temperature. As a winter resort, Ne
braska is bard to beat. Albion News.
A blaze near the Monastery Monday
afternoon at 5:15 attracted sufficient
attention to sound the alarm of fire, and
in a very short time there were scores of
firemen and others on the ground.
Frank Gores' carpenter shop and stable
were found to be past saving, and Chief
Galley, recognizing the situation, while
getting the hose in readiness by coup
ling to a hydrant on Fourteenth street,
four blocks away, thought it not advisa
ble to turn on the water, when the fire
could be handled effectually with buck
ets, which was done, the boys staying
with it until there was not a particle of
danger. The shop contained all Mr.
Gores' carpenter tools which were a
complete loss. Mike Cassin rescued a
cow and calf from the stable. The or
igin of the fire is not. known, but thought
to have started in the hay mow. Total
loss. Insurance, $225.
The Omaha Bee of the fifth (the
day before the sale) had this to say con
cerning the lands in this and other
counties that were to bo offered March
6, at Omaha, under a foreclosure against
the Union Pacific company: Indications
are that there will be a good attendance
at the sale of the Union Pacific lands in
this city Monday. Mr. McAllister, land
commissioner of the road, says he has
received assurances from a number that
they will be here to make bids on indi
vidual tracts of the land. Many people
have had their eyes upon portions of
this property, and think that if they
make the highest bid for it they will be
come the purchaser, and this promises
to bring a large force of small bidders
to the sale. While, under the decree of
foreclosure and sale the special master
is required to offer the land in tracts
before offering it as a whole, unless the
amount of the bids for the separate
pieces foots up to more than the bid for
all the lands, the latter bid will prevail.
Therefore, it is not believed that any
portion of the land lees than the whole
will be sold, and the only bidder ex
pected at the sale for the land in its en
tirety is the representative of the Union
Pacific road.

to compound his prescriptions so that they

demands modern appointments and perfect
drugs; which are found to a marked degree
in our pharmacy. Even with this service

he was overpowered and compelled to
surrender, but not until one of Forest's

want to shoot me for? I have been

DIED.
Post Friday, March 3, at 9 o'clock a.
m., of typhoid pneumonia, Alberta, third
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Post, in
the twentieth year of her age.
Three weeks ago this evening (Tues
day) Alberta, with her most intimate
girl friends, entertained about fifteen of
their gentlemen friends to a Valentine
party at her home. She had evidently
not been strong for some time previous
and on Wednesday morning was taken
with grip which in a few days developed
into typhoid pneumonia. All that could
be done by medical skill and attentive
nursing was done for Alberts, but her
physical strength could not endure the
strain, and she passed beyond to her
final resting place on Friday morning
last.
During her illness, she seemed to
know she could never recover and re
quested many things in regard to the
services, asking that the Cecilian club,
of which she was a member, should ar
range the music.
Among her friends and acquaintances
Alberta was a general favorite, always
most thoughtful of those around her,
and with her quiet dignity she won the
affections of all her friends.
The funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. R. E. L.
Hayes reading the 30th chapter of Job.
using the 23d verse as a basis for his
remarks. Miss Ethel Galley, Miss Eu
lalia Rickly, Dr. Geer and Mr. C. G.
Hickok with Miss Elsie Morse sang
"Nearer, My God, to Thee," and "Abide
in Me," Miss Ethel Galley singing a
solo "Lead, Kindly Light," all the
songs being selections of Miss Alberta.
The floral offerings were most beauti
ful, hundreds of dozens of cut rosea
being sent by friends, mostly pink, her
favorite color.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. Bey
Martyn of Humphrey, H. A. Clark of
Omaha, Carl Johnson, Ed. Fitzpatrick,
Bert Stillman and Will Lehman.
The remains were laid to rest in a bed
of flowers, placed by her friends.
The family have heartfelt sympathy
from all their friends ia their irrepara
ble loss.
