' At Avoca, Iowa, there was a severe
twister Sunday evening which demol
ished two boDBes in the outskirts of the
town.
Charles A. Hanxa, a former citizen
' of Lincoln, Nebr., for the last two years
. cashier in the Chicago post-office, has
resigned his position there to accept an
' appointment in the Treasury depart-
. aaent in Washington city.
It seems that the immediate cause of
. Gen. Oglesby's death was a fall, his head
. stricking the sharp edge of a piece of
furniture. The remote cause was vertigo,
' 'which caused the fall. The blow made
a sharp dent in the right side of the
of crime, and true edaoation, including
right discipline, is the potent remedy
against them.
C0WCERHIW6 TMElOLDIERS,
It is now given out from the war de
partment that the First Nebraska may
be expected to start for home from the
Philippines about the 5th of May.
The volunteer soldiers now in the
Philippines will commence coming home
early in May, according to the present
program. The vessels now on the way
to Manila with regulars for "home, sweet
home." No soldiers ever went out in
defence of the flag who were more joy
fully welcomed home than will be the
noble young men of the volunteer army
now in the Orient when they return to
their native land. No better soldiers
ever faced a foe than the First Nebraska
and other volunteers of the western
states. Seward Blade.

'- Two shocks of earth-quake were gen
eral in all the coast counties of the
' central portion of California Sunday.
At 1224 Sunday afternoon there was an
'abrupt and deep shock at Loconia, New
, .Hampshire. In all these instances no
great damage is reported. Of course
people were frightened, at the jarring
of the houses and the rattling of dishes
and other movable objeta.
The cyclone catastrophe at Eirksville,
Missouri, last Thursday evening seems
to grow in proportions as more is heard.
Sunday the number of persons reported
as dead from the effects of the storm,
were thirty-three. Sunday last there
were fifteen thousand visitors, coming
from hundreds of miles to view the
ruins. Twenty-five thousand dollars
. will be needed during the next two
weeks to prevent suffering.
Two violent earthquake shocks have
.been felt at Fort Bragg, CaL, the first
occurring at 10:10 a. m. and the other 10
minutes later, April 20. They were of
about three seconds duration each.
Heavy rumbling sounds preceded each
shock. Two light shocks had occurred
daily during the preceding week be
tween 5 and 6 a. m., the vibrations gen
erally being from southwest to northeast
The Filipino representatives of Gen.
Luna, came into the American lines
last Friday and asked for a cessation of
hostilities in order to allow time for the
summoning' of the Filipino congress,
which body would decide whether the
people wanted peace. General Otis re
plied that he did not recognize the ex
istence of a Filipino government. He
also said that if Aguinaldo could make
war without the congress, he could stop
it without reference to that' body.
Under date of April 30, the following
additional casualties were reported
from Manila: Died from wounds re
ceived in action, First Nebraska, April

We are not crediting the reports that
American soldiers in the Philippines
were ordered to "take no prisoners."
The fighting is quite a bit different from
what it used to be. In one of the late
engagements the First Nebraska, it is
said, 'reserved its fire," until the 3,000
Filipinos were charging them, and then
they put them to rout in no time. But
when the enemy charged they were 2,000
yards away more than a mile and an
eighth, and it is not very much wonder
that many prisoners are not taken under
such circumstances. A man strong
enough to march and carry a gun, would
, naturally make a pretty good sprint
if he had 2,000 yards the start of the
man who was after him.
It has for a long time seemed to us
that there was something wrong in the
way of conducting the Nebraska experi
ment station. The Nebraska Farmer of
April 27, in a lengthy editorial speaks of
this matter at length, closing thus:
"The plain unvarnished fact is this:
The Nebraska Experiment Station is
robbed to pay salaries for professors in
the Nebraska State University, in di
rect violation of the United States law
creating the fund; and the Nebraska
School of Agriculture, with the excep
tion of the winter short course in agri
culture, is a false pretense for getting
$24,000 of United States funds for the
University. Both the Experiment Sta
tion and the School of Agriculture are
dowered by the United States govern
ment for the farmers of Nebraska, and
we cannot but ask, How long will the
farmers endure to be robbed of this
their especial educational resource?
No state in the Union has so many un
solved agricultural problems as Ne
braska. None, therefore, needs so much
the benefit of experimentation and edu
cation. But the Governing Board of
the Nebraska Experiment Station have
turned their faces backward."
Howtefttligkt.
Much discussion has followed the
fearful instances of violation of law
lately in the state of Georgia. If all
that has been said and written shall be
followed by a better life, it will be a
. hopeful indication of strength of char-
acter sufident for the future welfare ot
that part of the republic, but the situ
ation is sneb that patriots may well
. tremble in view of what may possibly
. happen. It is the close contact of a
powder-bouse and- n match-factory; the
dry prairie grass, the fire brand and the
-' strong breeze.
There k one thing sure, there will be
trouble until the supremacy of law is
- acknowledged and enforced.
Those who are good enough to ac-
. knowledge the supremacy of the law,
, will be wise enough to obey it volan-
-tarily, but they are not always disposed
to enforce the law upon those who
" would violate it This is always the
disagreeable part, but everywhere a
necessary thing to do. Govern-
it is not always, by any means, with
, the consent of the governed.
"Ho rogae e'er fait the halter draw
With SBodopiakmoC the law."
No right-minded man favors mob rule,
and the community which tolerates and
encourages it is far from being a model

Bnt, how to get right?
It is largely an individual matter.

Danfcstie Island, S. C.
April 16, 189a
Mr Dear Fatheb and Motheb: On
the evening of the 6th, we received orders
to be at the transport at the San Jose
wharf the next morning at 10 o'clock.
So we packed all night, for we had had
orders to prepare for a northern port
and the preparation for a southern port
was necessarily somewhat different.
Few of us went to bed for any great
while, and when reveille sounded at 5 a.
m., of the 7th, everything was done ex
cept faking down the tents and loading.
By 8 o'clock we were on the road to
Havana, the wagon train of 127 wagons
preceding us.
There had been no rain tor nearly a
month, and the roads were deep with
dust a white limestone dust as fine as
flower so we took the road north to
the coast and along the shore through
El Vedodo, hoping to avoid the worst of
it But, if the military road was worse
than this, it was certainly something
terrible. The fine dust rose in clouds,
settled all over us and filled eyes, nose
and hair with the fine white powder.
But themen were as well prepared as
could be for it They were in canvas
trousers and shirtsleeves, and light
marching order knapsacks having gone
with the wagons. We officers were less
comfortable, the colonel having ordered
blue trousers and blouses, as he has al
ways done, no matter how warm the
weather.
El Carmelo was the first village we
went through. This is interesting, for
the pontoon bridge is across the mouth
of the Almeudores river, and on old
Spanish fort about three hundred years
old. The only entrance is by a flight of
stone steps that set out about ten feet
from the main structure and communi
cate with it by a draw bridge. I have
pictures of it. Like so many of the
Cuban villages El Carmelo and El
Vedodo are so closely joined that it is
hard to determine the dividing line.
EIYedado is the residence suburb of
Havana, and there are many beautiful
residences. The Hotel Trocha is there,
where General Brooke has his headquar
ters. It is about 5 miles from the city
and a steam tram furnishes communi
cation. A line of water batteries begins
here, which extends along the shore to
the city, all of them are modern works,
and have modern guns in them. Five
of them are merely numbered but the
two principal ones, Santa Clara Battery
and Bevia Battery, are works of con
siderable importance. All these batter
ies have been renovated and are now oc
cupied by the Second Artillery. On
the west edge of the city and just in
sight of the Vedodo road, is Principe
Castle. It is on a hill, overlooking the
whole city and the valley to the west
an enormous defence that would have
been hard to take. It has been com
pleted for a hundred years and it took
another hundred to build it' The walls
are of solid masonry forty feet thick and
every inch of the moat is covered by
embrasures in the outer wall, which has
a rifle gallery running its entire length.
I was fortunate in seeing this fort very
thoroughly, for one of the University
boys in the second engineers had charge
of cleaning it and he took me through.
Bat I have gotten a long way from the
Vedodo road.
As- we went through the narrow
streets, the people were thick at the
doors and windows. We were in a
column of twos in order to take advant
age of the shade, if not to prevent block
ing of the streets, for a column of fours
would fill most of them, so the regiment
was pretty well strung. We went to
La Punta Battery, at the head of the
Bodo, then down the Prado this is a
boulevard. I do not know why
were brought so far around, there
no one we wished to parade before and
the men were tired, hot and dirty. We
could have saved three miles by going
through the city, but instead we went
clear around by way of the wharves.
We went through Oreilly street, one of
the main business streets, which is
about twelve feet wide. At last we
reached "Muello San Jose," where the
'Thomas" lay. We were tired, and had
marched about twelve miles through a
smothering dust and a good hot sun in
about three hours and a halt The
wagon train had been there sometime
and part of the baggage was already
unloaded. Officers called soon, and or
ders were read for us to go to Dry
Tortugas for fumigation and detention,
thenSanannah. Up to this time we had
not known where we were bound for. At4
o'clock we went on board and found the
"Thomas," a very desirable transport,
infnitely better then the "Michigan"---
now the "Kilpatrick." Everything
sweet and clean and the men had plenty
of room. The Thomas is a large boat, n
little over 400 feet long.
We left the wharf about 430 with the
decks crowded, everyone wanted to have
the last look at the harbor. One at a
time, all the government tugs saluted
us, five of them lay near us and the sa
lute is three long whistles, which is
answered by the boat saluted, then one
short whistle which' is also answered.
If possible, our departure from Havana
Harbor was more impressive than our
entrance. Many of the wharves were
crowded with people who shouted
"adioe" and "Viva Americans." Our
band was stationed forward and played
"Home, Sweet Home" and "Should Old
Acquaintance be Forgot," "I wish I
were in Dixie." It seemed as though we
couldn't cheer enough for the senti
ments they expressed. We psrnicid the
wreck of the Maine and every heed was
bared. Then we came abreast of the
Hospital Ship Missouri, which saluted
us as did the Burnside a minute later.
The decks of the Missouri were crowded
with sick men in pajamas, but how they
did cheer, and I dare say they never
wished more strongly for anything than
that they were with us. It was mighty
touching to hear their good-byes and
we wished then that they might be with
us too, but they were in luck not to be,
for they reached God's country three
days before we did and are now at
Newport News and out of quarantine.
The gunboat Resolute and the trans
port Burnside saluted us next The
Burnside has the $3,000,000 on board
which is to be paid to the Cuban army.
By this time we had come to the narrow
part of the harbor and a crowd of the
8th infantry were on the military wall
near the custom house. A little further,
just opposite cabanas fortress, we saw
another crowd of the boys in blue at the
artillery barracks. As we came opposite
them, we heard a cheer and then a
sound that we hadn't thought of for
months. It was the "u-u-u-n-i" of the
University. Ayr and Sergeant, two of
the boys in the Second Engineers were
Baying good-bye to u. We got the
University boys together and sent it
back to them. I presume it is the only
time the yell has ever been given in Ha
vana Harbor. It was only a minute
after that we passed between Morro and
La Punta and soon we were out in deep
water. We were glad to leave Cuba,
not that we had suffered there, for we
have never been more free from any
thing like suffering, but the inactivity
and uncertainty were very unsatisfac
tory. Our three months in Cuba have
been very pleasant ones, the weather
nas generally oeen aeiigntrui, only a
few days -have been intensely hot We
were disappointed in not seeing more of
the country, but we saw that about
Havana very thoroughly. We failed to
see any of the great Buffering that we
had read ot But I'll tell you about the
country some other time. When sup
per had been served, it was dark and
when we went on deck in the morning,
we were approaching Fort Jefferson on
Dry Tortugas. The Tortugas are the
westermost of the Florida keys, and are
about fifty miles west ot Key West
Fort Jefferson was planned by Jeffer
son Davis when he was secretary of war
under Buchanan. It is on Dry Tor
tugas and covers nearly the whole is
land. It is a formidable looking de
fense and a few guns look over its para
pets. But it is absolutely useless, and
always was, so far as being a fort is con
cernedit makes an ideal prison. It
defends nothing, is the key to nothing,
and retreat from it is impossible. It
has been abondoned as a fort for nearly
twenty years. We went around north
of the Fort and anchored; soon a tug
came out and brought a lighter along
side. Some of the seamen went down
the steps and watching the lighter as it
rose on a wave, jumped for it It was
evident that it would be impossible to
unload a whole regiment and its bag
gage in such manner, so the colonel
cabled to Washington. The next day,
Sunday, the wind was a' bit fresher and
the waves a bit higher and the lighter
was less steady. So we lay at anchor
and did nothing. We had orders only
for Dry Tortugas, so we stayed right
there. We spent the day doing nothing
frantically; one day at anchor had been
bearable, but the second was very try
ing. We did get some amusement by
watching the sharks, they would come
close astern and gulp down biscuits and
orange peel, but they were too wary to
attack the baited hooks we had out
On the morning of the 10th, orders
came for us to go to Savannah, and
about noon we got under way. The
trip was without incident, arriving at
Tybee Island in the morning of the 12th,
and found three regiments ahead of us
at the fumigation plant So again we
lay at anchor off Fort Pulaakie, at the
mouth of the Savannah river, while the
6th Mo., 49th Ll, and 3rd Ky were put
through the boiler. The two first left
Havana after we did. On the 14th we
were taken off in barges to the disinfec
ting plant Our baggage went some
where eke, we may get it again some
time, taking only our hand baggage.
Everything we had wee steamed and
some things rained, then we were
again loaded on barges and towed
through numerous bayous and channels,
to this forsaken spot It was nearly
dark when we started from the steam
plant and our scow had a vague uncer
tain way ot proceeding, it stuck in the
mud four or five times, and it was about
ten o'clock when we got here. We
stumbled through the brush and swamp
for about a mile until someone said
these were our tents and we tumbled
into the first one that came handy.
We are to be detained here five days,
but no one knew it and nanny of the
officers have no blankets; fortunately I
have mine, and the nights are very
chilly. This morning we found that we
had been led in n circle and that our
camp was about two hundred yards
from the wharf. The tents were al
ready pitched for us, and pitched is a
good word. We have always prided
ourselves on our neat camp, but this
was a grand exception. We have every
sort of tent known to army service and
no two in line. We are in an old swamp
that was once need for sweet potato
growing the ridges ere two lest high.
It is the most forsaken spot soldiers
ever camped on I believe, but we will
have only three days store of it and
then go down the river to Savannah,
where we spent no pleasant n tune lest
fall I havent had n letter from any-
for two weeks, bnt I

A young woman named Sohultz,
living in the Siebach neighborhood
about six miles west of the city, acci
dentally shot herself Saturday morning
while handling a revolver which was
supposed to be not loaded. The ball
entered under the right eye, inflicting a
serious wound. She was brought to St
Mary's hospital, this city, but the result
of the wound cannot yet be determined.
Death ef Mies Letiss WeUnuui.
I Miss Louisa Wellman, oldest daughter
1 ot Mrs. Paul Hoppen, died Tuesday
afternoon of last week, after a short ill
ness, resulting in inflammation of the
bowels. She had not been feeling
strong for some time, but only a few
days before her death was considered
dangerously ill. The funeral was held
Thursday afternoon, short services be
ing held in the home before going to
the German Lutheran church, the
Maennerehor singing, "It is God's Will."
In the absence of Rev. Mieasler, Rev.
Frarier of the Lost Creek church offici
ating. One chair in the choir was draped in
mourning, Miss Wellman having been a
member for some time. The funeral
was one of the largest in the oity for
sometime. The Maennerehor sang at
the grave, "Under the Trees, at Best"
and the body was lowered to its last
resting place in the presenoe of a large
concourse ot Borrowing friends who
sincerely sympathize with the bereaved
family.
Miss Wellman was born in this city
Feb. 6, 1872; she was a faithful, dutiful
daughter, always cheerful in disposition,
and will be sadly missed from her home
and among her friends.
Last Wednesday quite a cyclone
struck near St Edward, Boone county,
a half mile couth, doing an immense
amount of damage, demolishing the
buildings on ten farms near the village.
Mrs. W. A. MoCutcheon, the only per
son killed, was a slater of Mrs. Rev.
Bush, known to many Joubxal readers
here., All the members of the fsmily
but her had got safely into the cave, but
she tarried to get a lamp, knowing that
it wouia oe aarn in tne cave, and was
caught by the cyclone, and died about
four hours afterwards from the effects
of the injuries received. Those who es
caped think they owe their lives to the
fact that they could reach the caves.
The usual 'strange features of the cy
clone were present with this one. Wagon
wheels were torn all apart; trees were
twisted and pulled up, roots and all;
chickens were not only defeathered, but
skinned; one man had $70 in paper bills,
scattered with his houses, but, strange
to say, found one of the $10 bills. The
storm was plainly in view for quite a
while before it struck. The Cedar
Rapids Outlook says the path of the
storm narrowly escaped Belgrade on the
east
A recent copy of the Schuyler Quill
shows considerable solicitude in regard
to "the apparent spreading of an epi
demic of some kind and from which so
many have died during the past week."
The Quill further says: "There appears
to be a difference of opinion as to the
contagious nature of the disease, and in
fact as to the disease itself. The advice
of the physicians will be taken in the
matter, but as they are not agreed it
will be hard to come to any conclusion.
Dr. Long says his cases are oerebro
spinal meningitis or what is commonly
called spotted fever and although it is
not as contagious as other diseases and
is not carried in the clothing or caught
by contact with it', it is epidemic and
may break out at points near by or re
mote to its last appearance. Dr. Sixta
is of the opinion that his patients have
suffered from ptomaine poisoning and
that it is not contagious, but is rather
the result of injudicious eating. What
ever the trouble may be it will be wise
for the board of education to use due
vigilance in the matter, and that is what
they have called a meeting for. If the
closing of the school will save a single
life the school will be closed. That is
the verdict of the individual members of
the board."
three business fronts, each 22 feet ia
width, one west, the other east of the
present structure; the addition will oc
cupy the west lot, the driveway and
scales being put on the east aide. The
office will be enlarged to at least double
its present size, and other changes made
to conform to the new order of things.
Work will be begun at once, and the
building probably completed within the
next sixty days. This firm has forged
forward vnd upward on solid, business
lines, and their history is one of indus
try, fair dealing, thrift and enterprise
Their lines qf business run with every
point of the compass, and there is no
better distributing center in the state
than this city of Columbus. We can
well remember when the young firm
started out several years ago, that many
wondered what they were going to do
with such a large building, etc., etc.
Then the "hard times" period struck
everybody, but notwithstanding dis
couragements they have been "hewing
to the line," while pleasing their custo
mers and increasing their business.
Probably the chief, corner-stone princi
ple of business is that of supply and
demand, and it is in conformity with
thia that"the demand for a doubled ca
pacity for storing goods is so soon to be
supplied by this prosperous firm.

Passengers going east for business, will
