The legally authorized copies of the

truth is that the state could, at a very
reasonable expenditure of money with
the newspapers, furnish such infor

From Brainard items in David City
Banner: Last Friday David Robar pur
chased a "pickle keg," which formerly
contained alcohol. Shortly after his
arrival home his little seven-year-old son
and two-year-old daughter were playing
around the keg when the little boy
placed a lighted match to the bung hole
of the keg and an immediate explosion
followed. The little girl was quite
badly injured. Mr. Robar brought the
child to town at once and Dr. Matron
dressed the child's wounds, her lower
lip and chin being quite badly torn by
the flying fragments of the keg.
The school board at Lyons resigned

penses of the exercises would not be
forthcoming from the public money.
The boys concluded to charge an admis

patronizing the entertainment very ex
tensively, which, being considered some
thing of an endorsement of tho boys'
doings, the board resigned in a body.
Sheriff Byrnes returned Saturday
evening from Cheyenne, Wyoming, hav

weeks sgo Saturday, Sheriff Byrnes was
within fifteen minutes of getting him at
a saloon in Grand Island. He was ar
rested the following Saturday at Gothen
burg, but just as Mr. Byrnes was about
to start to get him, he received word
that Worst had escaped from jail the
same night at 11 30. The jail at Cheyen
ne, however, was a good one and held
him tight He says that be was arrested
four different times, because of Byrnes
following up clues on him. The sheriff

Man's life is full of crosses and
temptations. He comes into the world
without his consent and goes out of it

The rule of contrariness is one of the
important features of the trip. When
he is little the grown girls kiss him. If
he raises a large family be is called
mustard, but if he raises a small check
he is a thief and a fraud and shunned
like a Chinaman with the seven year
itch. If he is poor he is a bad manager;
if he is rich he is dishonest; if he is in
polities it is for pie; if he is oat of poli
tics you cant tell where to place him
and be is no good to his country; if he
does an act of charity it is for policy; if
he won't give for charity he ia a stingy
earn and lives only for himself; it he
dies young there is a great future ahead
of him; if be lives to old sge he has
missed his calling. He is inducted into
this world by a doctor and to the next
world by the same process. Verity the

At the Lancaster county teachers
institute, Mrs. Greenlee, the instructor,
in response as to why drawing should
be taught, received from the teachers in
the drawing class the following remarks:
The children get hold of everything bet
ter when they know how to draw. My
pupils are never absent on the days that
we draw. It is a great help in teaching
the nature work. The child may have
natural ability in this line, learning to
draw will develop his talent Learning
to draw objects correctly opens sn en
tirely new field of enjoyment It may
be made of great value in governing a
school You can understand pictures
better if you know how to draw. Draw
ing enables one to make permanent
and lasting the scenes and objects by
which they are surrounded. Drawing
is a benefit to morality. The ability to
see and represent correctly will tend to
the habit of correct statements.
Col. Fred M. Woods, the great live
stock auctioneer of Lincoln, furnishes
the foundation of a column article in
the last Nebraska Farmer, together with
a full page picture of the genial sales
man. He is, by the way, a wonderfully
well posted man on cattle. He combats
the notion that a combinafion animal
(beef and milk) is impossible, saying
that he has seen lots of cattle, and
among all the beef breeds some of the
most typical beef animals were wonder
ful milk and butter producers. "That
sort of a cow, together with her neces
sary twin, the old sow, aided by lieuten
ants alfalfa and the sugar beet, and the
ever reliable buffalo grass, is fast mak
ing our beloved state of Nebraska rich
and powerful. Mr. Farmer, your three
beet farm friends are the cow, sow and
hen. They put into your pockets last
year $16,00,000. They are like razors,
"to do good work they must have good
care."
By a law passed at the last legis
lature and taking effect July 1, female
clerks in this state are prohibited from
working more than ten hours each day,
or sixty hours per week. A fine of not
lees than $20, nor more than $50, is im
posed upon each violation of the law,
and it is made the duty of the deputy
labor commissioner to see that the pro
visions of the law are properly carried
out Violation of law has become such
a common thing, that this is the first
talk; then that the constitutionality of
the law will be tested. A number of
large firms in Omaha have expressed
themselves in favor of discharging all
females in their employ. It is said that
Hayden Bros., who employ more female
clerks than any other store in the west,
have originated a plan which they claim
will be effective, and solve the problem
perfectly. Mr. Hayden proposes to
have one-half his force show up four
hours late on the morning of the day on
which he wishes to keep his store open
during the evening. He claims to be
able to work with this half force well
enough to operate his store for that
length of time. The practical working
of the law will probably result in some
such method as this last, rather than in
a more radical measure.
Sunday morning John Stupfel drove
Fred Stenger's team to the meat market
on Olive street tying one of the horses
to a hitching post, while he went into
the market for a piece of beef, leaving
Mr. Stenger's two young sons in the
buggy. The horses took fright at a
passing wagon, broke away from the
post and made a swift race south on
Olive street, turning east at Mike
Welsh's, bringing up near the residence
of Charles A. Speice, where one of the
horses fell, and both were disengaged
from the buggy. Those who saw the
team running down Olive were most
fearful that the little boys would be
killed. They were holding on grimly to
the top and were not hurt John Stup
fel was the most anxious man in town
until he found the boys not hurt and
brought them home, where they arrived
about tho same time as the news of the
runaway. It was reported that the
team had not been tied, but this is a
mistake. Only one of the two, however,
was. tied, and the hitching strap was
broken. It certainly was a most fortu
nate ending of what threatened to be a
.very sad happening.
A W. Ladd of the Albion Weekly
News, after his return from the west in
California, Utah, Colorado, etc., sets
forth in nearly a column his views. We
select two paragraphs as sumning up:
"We saw some of the most beautiful
homes and surroundings in California
we ever saw anywhere, and would like
to live there if we were a millionaire.
Situated as we are, we did not see any
place to which we are desirous of going.
We saw a good many who have left Ne
braska, and many of them are satisfied
with the change, and yet, they nearly
all say that if anyone is comfortably lo
cated in Nebraska and is making a liv
ing they had better stay. While they
are free from some of the draw-backs of
Nebraska, they have others which we
know not of." And again: "But when
you come down to solid prosperity
among the msaann, the people of Ne
braska are just as well situated as any.
As a whole, we believe our people are
more prosperous, and have the means of
enjoying life to just as high a degree as
any people west of the Missouri river.
It is very interesting to visit other sec
tions where methods of making a living
are so different and conditions and sur
roandings are novel, but to us, at least,
it had the only effect of making us more
and better satisfied with our adopted
state. Nebraska is good enough for as.''

We find the following in the last
David City News, and give it for what
it is worth: A delegation of Bell wood
business men went down to Lincoln last
week to interview the B. & M. officials
and see if the road could not give them
relief in some way from the "pool ele
vators' thore. The business men there
figure that they should have more trade
than they now get and the reason they
do not get it is because the farmers
come here, to Octavia and Columbus to
sell their grain and other products,
therefore the business men miss getting
their trade for groceries and dry goods.
They lay it all to the elevators there be
ing in a "pool."
Joseph Gardner, whom we mention
ed in last week's Journal as returning
Saturday week, had been absent some
nine years at Crowley, Louisiana. He
is a man now nearly 86 years old, and
does not appear much changed from the
times when he lived st Gardner, Nebr.,
where he settled in 1862. He met with
an accident at Crowley, being run over
by a wagon weighted down with a cord
of wood, by which he suffered a double
fracture of his right leg, at the ankle
and above the knee. He says that the
country where he has been is no hotter
in summer time than here, but last win
ter they had snow 2t inches deep, the
second snow of the kind known there in
thirty years. For several years past
that region has needed to be supplied
by water from the lakes to irrigate for
crops. At Crowley, there are a number
of settlers from the neighborhood of
Platte Center, this county.
A telegram received Monday, July
3d, informed us of the death, that morn
ing at 9, of Mrs. Lucinda Kennedy, wife
of M. B. Kennedy of the vicinity of Craig,
Nebraska, and that the funeral would be
July 5 at 10 o'clock. She had been an
invalid for many years, and with her
painful ailment, rheumatism, had an ex
perience which falls to the lot of com
paratively few people. Patient, gentle,
loving through all the long years of her
affliction, she endeared herself to scores
of people who became acquainted with
her, demonstrating from the invalid
chair that christian fortitude which was
the beaaty and the glory of her charac
ter. To the sorrowing husband, daught
er and sons goes the heartfelt sympa
thy of all the friends here. None but
the kindliest of memories cluster around
her grave. Earth was certainly better
by her having gladdened it for a term
with her presence, and we can well be
lieve that for auoh as she there is

The Skagway Alaskan of June 17
gives particulars of a fatal casualty to
George Sanger, one of the workmen for
the Platte Valley Gold Mining company.
While with other workmen walking
along the bank of the McKinley river,
about their work, a boulder described as
"the size of a bucket," becoming de
tatched from the mountain, came tum
bling down a height of 600 feet striking
Mr. Sanger on the back of his head,
crushing the skull. Being near the
water's edge, the blow knocked him in
to the river. Like the other men, be
bore a pack. The body showing no
signs of life, made its second appearance
after sinking, but the swiftness of the
current and the nearness of the rapids,
made it an impossibility to recover the
body. The unfortunate man was 35
years old, and from Massachusetts. We
believe this is the. first casualty to Co
lumbus' Mining company.
