"It is said that the recent freight
wrecks at Columbus were due to the
work of brass thieves, as it was after
wards learned that castings from nearly
a dozen cars in the train had been
stolen. The cars run the same as usual
for a little while, but they soon get 'hot
boxes,' and if not attended to at once
the axles break down, wrecking the cars
and sometimes the whole train. The
man who would do that kind of busi
ness would wreck a train because he had
a grudge against the brakeman." The
above is from a late number of the Fre
mont Herald, and shows how matters
get wrong sometimes in the telling. In
the last Journal the collision referred
to was explained. The brass thieving
occurred at Oconee, and there were soma
twenty-five or thirty cars involved, aa
as ws can laarn.

The pupils of the new High school
are about ready for their new piano.
Several instruments will be placed in
the building for inspection and trial, by
dealers here, and a choice made by a
committee appointed for the purpose.
The piano will be an invaluable addi
tion to the literary exercises, and enjoy
ment for the school. Friday afternoon

school.
A new boiler weighing a little over
ten tons and having a capacity of a hun
dred horse power has been placed in the
electric light plant on the north side of
the 60-horse-power boiler, thus making
a pretty effective combination for Engi
neer Douglas to manipulate in furnish
ing light to the city. Louis Schroeder,
with his house-moving facilities, was
called upon to take the boiler from the
car to the plant.
We suppose from what we hear that
ten young men of Creston left Saturday
last for Omaha, to enlist in company H,
39th U. S. Volunteers, with the expec

ris, Will Jackson, Bert Nash, Will Fred
ericks, Dick Ladwig, Joe Scheler, Willis
Heitsman, John Johnson and George
Nash. They will go with the good
wishes of all their friends for an honora
ble career and safe return.
Twenty years ago, when we came to
Nebraska, says Editor Ladd in his Al
bion News, J. R. Meagher, who is now
agent here for the U. P., was acting in
the same capacity at Columbus, and
"held us up" for a liberal contribution
for freight on our printing outfit. Abe
Smith was the next man to lighten our
pocket book for hauling our outfit from
Columbus to Albion. He had the repu
tation of hauling the biggest loads of
anyone teaming between Columbus and
Albion.
Thomas Wilson, the aged veteran,
had a pretty close call, seemingly, Sun
day morning last, at the North street
crossing of the main Union Pacific
track, the corner of the foot board of
the switch engine striking him on the
right leg just below the knee, throwing
him out from the track, fortunately, and
not towards it, otherwise he would
doubtless have lost bis life. Aside from
some bruises, the aged soldier takes up
the battle of life with his usual phil
osophical courage.
C. M. Gruenther, whom the fusion
forces nominated for clerk of the district
court, has this to say in his paper, the
Platte Center Signal, of his republican
opponent, Gas G. Becher: "Mr. Becher
has been a successful candidate three
different times, twice for county treas
urer and once for the legislature. He is
well acquainted in all parts of Platte
county and his record as a business man
and public official is clean and above
reproach. He is a shrewd political
worker and a great rustler. We wel
come him in the coming contest as the
strongest and worthiest opponent whom
the republican party eould have pitted

A Harrow Escape.
Mr. Brown, the engineer for Robert
Church's threshing-machine, came into
the city Thursday evening last, after
having been at work daring the day at
George Galley's, and at 7 o'clock, after
the horse had been put away at Plath's '
barn on Eleventh street, opposito Bu
cher's saloon, J. L. Brnnken, who tends t
II 1 .1. t. - . L. t
inere, says ne puiieu tue Diiggy miu iu 1
western stable towards the north end,
and in the "midway."'
At half past 10, he went by the buggy
and noticed nothing whatever nnusnal.
At twenty-five minntes to 2 o'clock
Thomas Gentleman, the night policeman '
passing by, saw a blaze, and wakened
Brnnken, when they found the bnggy
spoken of completely burned as to the
box and contents, the top. etc. but
leaving the wheels intact. The blaze
had not reached quite to the ceiling. In
the baggy-box were a grip, quilt, lap
robe. Taking all the circumstances together j
and it is pretty hard to account for the
fire, except as by incendiary and dis
covered by Gentleman immediately after
it was set.
The only other explanation we hear 13
that a stub of cigar or cigarette bad
dropped into the quilt, and had smoul
dered there until the change of the
wind from the north fanned it into a
blaze.
Whatever the cause, it is a great won
der that the entire woodwork of the
buggy was not destroyed, and the barn
itself set on fire.
The republicans of Boone county
have nominated George W. Brown of
Cedar Rapids as their candidate for
sheriff. George is a native of Ohio, a
tried and true soldier of the republic
daring the struggle of I86I-0, a lawyer
of ability, and possessed of just such
qualities as are needed in a sheriff
thorough knowledge of the duties of the
office; the ability to quickly grasp the
salient features of a situation, and act
decisively. Mr. Brown came to Nebras
ka in 186, made his home for a few years
on a section of land which he owned
near this city, and afterwards moved to
the Cedar valley, becoming one of the
pioneer settlers of Boone county. He is
very able and a very capable man, and
will make Boone county an excellent
sheriff.

Several years ago the elephant

Philadelphia by the late Adam Fore
pangh. He is not allowed any freedom,
having been in chains for more than ten
years, while his mate is allowed to bathe

from trying other five cent
