' 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. temple, from freely. which the blood flowed '- 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 24: Prive Otto Kastenberger, Company Private Charles Schwartz, Company Private Martin O. Legg, Company Corporal Francis Hansen, Company typhoid fever. Private Maynard H. D. L. Sayres, Company L 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 of right Bnt, how to get right? It is largely an individual matter. Every aaan should be a well-ordered KOTsmment within himself, the passions biding the rule of reason self -discip-lim.

Ignorance to be the factors Letter frost Lieutenant Palis. 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 , ., ....u A bmc yuu us au well vou tuab ever- - thing is coming out nicely.

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.
