The query is what they were, and
where they were being taken. Is it
possible that in thfn country there are
syndicates of Chinamen who are engaged
in trafficing in human beings? Some of
these men left the car to get a drink of
water, and the boas got after them with
a good-sized stick he had, whacking
them sharp blows, and driving them

occupied by Mr. Gerrard. the lower by
Mr. Smith. Two gentlemen had a ques

but it was soon settled when they got

Mr. Corbin of Grand Island called at
JoxrosAii headquarters Monday when in
town. He was in attendance at the re
union last week and says it was prob
ably the best ever held in the state,
there being 2JJ00 veterans who register
ed, and. doubtless there were many who
did not register. There were 1-tO Ne
braekans from New York state alone,
and Mr. Corbin met his Capt. Rogers, of
B. 1st N. Y- Light Artillery, whom he
had not seen since they were mustered
out at Elmira. 34 years ago. They re
counted their last firing at Gettysburg,
where-they put in four charges of can
nister, the enemy being close to the
muzzles of the gun.
It is nearly time for companies of
farmers to go on their annual journey
for a supply of winter apples. We un

Saunders county. It makes a very

lads; going together, camping out, pick
ing the apples, helping make cider,
seeing the country, making new ac
quaintances, discussing farm topics (if
not politics and religion;, and having a
profitable time generally the end in
view being a good lot of winter apples
with a very reasonable outlay of money.
Plenty of fruit is wholesome.

The band concerts during the summer
have certainly been enjoyable to every
body who could hear, the old scarcely
leas than the young, and the community
can doubtless find a way to continue
the services of the band at stated times
during the whiter. Already, several
suggestions have been made, either oae
of which, carried into affect, will be
good for the community as well as- the
band, Jast as an incentive to the study
and practice of music, the work of the
band the past season has been worth to
this community a thousand times what
it has coat in money. It is as plain as a
pikestaff that there can be no genius
without first appreciation. We have in
Columbus abundant appreciation of
maatc Now- let as have persistent ap
plication. Sell season tickets far stated
band concerts.
