Doc. Bixby, writing every day in his
den at the Lincoln Journal, seems to
feel just as bad over the result of the

can be depended upon to give it a brutal
majority.

There will probably be some contest
here next spring between the Emerson
people and D. M. Ferry & Co., in secur
ing contracts with farmers for raising
garden seeds of various kinds, an indus
try which has proved quite profitable to
many. It is said that the soil of Nebras
ka and Kansas, the lacustrine formation,
is especially adapted for the growth of
excellent seeds, and that there are no
better grown anywhere.
It is reported that a 50-inch vein of
coal has been discovered on the farm of
C. H. Goodfellow a mile west of Jackson,
this state. The vein was struck at a
depth of 91 feet while digging a well.
Those versed in the mineral claim it is a
fair quality of bituminous coal. The
fact the state pays $1,000 bounty for the
discovery of coal in paying quantities
furnishes an incentive for further inves
tigation of the find. Norfolk News.
The musical and elocutionary enter
tainment by the Scandinavian quartette

While blowing out a chimney with
powder last Saturday Otis Mason met
with a mishap that for a time promised
to deprive him of his eyesight. One
charge had exploded, but thinking
another necessary, and it being slow to
act, he removed the flue stop and at that
instant it ignited and flashed up, strik
ing him square in the face. He cannot
use his eyes for some time and will have
to grow a new set of eyelashes. Clarks

A large snow bank near Oconee
created surprise on Tuesday, it was at
the tlume on the irrigation ditch where
it crosses Lost creek. We suppose the
snow and small hail filled the ditch and
ran over. C. W. Zeigler says it bailed
considerable at the ranch and Henry
Clayburn says the streak of hail touched
his place. We brought home a chunk
and exhibited it as a republican prospect
from Lost creek. It looked cold. Mon

The ladies of the Baptist church
had an "experience' social at the resi
dence of Prof. Williams Friday evening.
Each was expected to earn a dollar for
the church, and tell of their way in
gaming the money. Some got the
dollar by baking bread, a few by wash
ing clothes, and many other ways. One
lady said she wanted to shave her hus
band, but he said he would prefer giving
five dollars to the church rather than
risk his life for ten cents.
Prof. Kern and a buggy load of
young ladies who accompanied him to
Columbus Saturday, to witness the foot
ball game between our school boys and
those of that city, got stuck in the Platte
river on their way home. The horses
jerked the tongue out of the boggy,
which left them in a bad fix, but Jesse
Keller happened to arrive on the scene
on his wheel and he rode back to Colum
bus and secured another buggy to bring
them home. In the meantime they had
plenty of time to get a good look at the
beautiful scenery along the banks of the
Platte, but it made them late in getting
home. David City News,
Supt Williams gave a abort lecture
Friday to pupils of the High school upon
the "current event" of the astronomical
world, the so-called "shooting stars,"
that was highly entertaining and in
structive to them. Those who come
regularly into the study of astronomy
through the preparatory courses in
geometry and algebra, can never quite
forget the beauties and the glories of
the knowledge, for which all other
knowledge of physical things seems to
have been made.
The unusual good things of school
life are certainly worth mention that
they may be appreciated by others.
Appreciation always leads to action,
soon or later. And here is an item from
the Fullerton Post regarding their High
school: UA new choir has been organ
ized consisting not only of the organ and
singers, but also two cornets, a bass
horn and a violin. It is a 'howling suc
cess' and we will be delighted to sing
for visitors if they should choose to
come during the morning exercises."
Rev. J. Zimmerman of Lincoln was
in the city a portion of last week repre
senting the Tabitha Home, an institu
tion for the care of orphan children, not
alone such as can in a short time find
suitable permanent homes with desirable
families, but such as cannot readily find
help elsewhere the very sickly ones,
the very weak, and those who are
marred. Mr. Zimmerman has visited
the city before, and has had good suc
cess in his work. He preached Sunday
morning at the German Reformed
erch, and at the Presbyterian church
in the evening.
Rev. Zimmerman collected in the
city for the Tabitha Orphan Home at
Lincoln nearly $50 in money besides a
large bundle of clothes for the little ones
of the home. Special thanks, Mr. Zim
merman says, are due to Pastor Nea
mearker of the German Evangelical Pro
testant congregation, for the interest he
took in securing a considerable portion
of the sum received. Doubtless Mr.
Neumearker was influenced by his special
knowledge of the Home, its work and its
trials. Mr. Zimmerman started for his
home at Lincoln Monday, well pleased
with his sojourn at Columbus.
"We are unable to predict the exact
hour at which the November meteoric
showers will begin," says Prof. William
A. Harkness of the United States obser
vatory. "Although these meteoroids
revolve around the sun in a definite orbit,
the point of that orbit's intersection with
the orbit of the earth moves forward at
the rate of a degree and a half a year,
thus throwing the advent of the meteors
a few hours later at each succeeding falL
For example, the fall of 1S33 occurred on
the night of November 13th; the fall of
1899 will take place on the evening of
November 14th and probably will be of
several hours duration."
Paul Roen, the second son of Mr.
and Mrs. O. T. Roen, was seriously hurt
Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock at the
farm of John Browner northeast of town.
He and Willie Hockenberger were riding
horses in the pasture. Paul had tied
the halter of his horse around his waist
and in falling off he was dragged along
the ground for some distance. When
picked up his clothes were torn, his
shoes worn into shreds, his face dread
fully bruised and a part of the scalp
about four inches square cut clear off
his head. He is now at home resting as
well as could be expected, in a semi
conscious state.
We are in receipt of Vol. 1, Nos. 2
and 3, of the Gunnison (Utah) Gazette,
published by Camp & Co., which, we
take it, means the latest of Joe Camp's
newspaper ventures. We never heard of
a man who has started more newspapers
than Mr. Camp has, and he is not an old
man either. He usually made money by
starting and then selling out before long
at a profit, so that sometimes it has been
a query whether he was not an agent for
the Western Newspaper Union. Mr.
Camp is a practical printer, however, has

John L. Sturgeon puts in a plea for
broad-tired wagon wheels. He recently
invested, after being convinced of their
superiority, and finds them even better
than he had supposed, and says that if
all farmers used nothing bnt the 4- inch
tires on their wagons which carry heavy
loads, the roads themselves would be
better; there would be much less ex
pense than now for keeping them in
order, and there would be less hard
work for the teams. It is his belief,
from trying both kinds of tires, under
otherwise like circumstances that the
same team which tug hard at 2300
pounds, could easily haul 4000 pounds.
There are now in this section quite a
number of wide-tired wagons, and so far
as we remember they give good satis
faction. Applications for the location of
Farmers' Institutes should be addressed
to E. A. Burnett. Superintendent Farm
ers' Institute, Lincoln, Neb. Under the
provisions of law these institutes are free
to the people, who pay only the expense
of hall, programs and local entertain
ment of speakers, all provided for before
the opening day of the institute. The
objects are to encourage better farming,
more intelligent methods, a livelier inter
est in life, and the building of happier
homes and broader, nobler lives." Only
a limited number of institutes can be
held, and it is the purpose of the super
intendent to locate these at an early date
so that sufficient time can be given to
the advertising and preliminary arrange
ments to insure the success of the
meetings."
W. F. Wentworth, one of the lead
ing impersonators of this country, will
appear in Columbus on Monday night,
Nov. 20. He is booked to render several
of the finest scenes from "Hamlet," and
will also give Howell's '-Sleeping Car."
The two plays make up one of the most
attractive programs ever presented in
this city. Mr. Wentworth has a national
reputation, having appeared before large
audiences in the leading cities both east
and west. On Thursday evening, Nov.
23, the closing entertainment of the
course will be given by the Rev. Dr.
Reilly of Omaha "The Emerald Isle," a
stereopticon of great merit and much
interest to all lovers of old Ireland.
Tickets for the two entertainments, 70
cents; either one alone, 50 cents. Seats

Wednesday night sometime Otto
Men' meat market on Eleventh street
was broken into at a rear window, by
loosening a screen, and prying up the
lower sash by the use of a pump point
that was near by. Next to the window
inside was the desk; papers in the pigeon
holes had been handled, but it seems
that the burglars were after money only,
as nothing else but a cleaver was missing,
and that was found leaning up against
Plata's pump store. All the money they
got was a dollar from the cash register
which had been left open, as had the
safe, and neither was damaged. Otto is
thankful for such small favors, but it is
the same sort of thankfulness that the
boy had when he fell and broke his arm,
pleased that it wasn't his neck.
A prisoner charged with the crime
of burglary claimed he had been hypno
tized, and was unconscious. The name
of the judge is not given who told him
in answer to that plea, when he sen
tenced him to five years' penal servitude,
that he could, if he choose, send for the
hypnotist and have himself made un
conscious for the entire term of his im
prisonment. "The same power," said
the judge, "which enabled you to com
mit burglary and not know it, ought
also enable you to suffer imprisonment
with hard labor and not be aware of it.
At any rate this ia the best I can do for
you." All the same, the power of hyp
notizing should not be allowed to be ex
ercised by any persons of evil intent.
For anybody, at any time, should, as
much as possible, be in full possession
of all their reasoning faculties.
Mrs. B. T. Page left last week for
Omaha, where she will make her future
home. For many years Mrs. Page has
been the principal teacher in piano
music of this city and has given instruc
tions that were equal to any procured in
the larger cities. Her advanced pupils
have the same technique that is taught
by the best schools in the country.
Through the energy of Mrs. Page, music
was introduced into the public schools
of the city. When she started the work,
few pupils or teachers could read music
Now the children in nearly all grades
can sing readily by note, and many of
the teachers are surprised to find they
know more of music than they ever
imagined they could know. The advance
that music has made is particularly
noticeable in the readiness with which
school children learn new music. Work
ers in Sunday schools, where drilling far
special services is frequent, have often
spoken of the change being something
remarkable. Mrs. Page's friends wish
her much success in her new field of
labor.
E. J. Wolter had rather a queer ex
perience with the electric lights in bis
store a few evenings ago. A twine string
was hanging near one of the incandes
cent lamps in his window, and Mr. Wol
ter reached up with his pocket knife to
cut off the string. In some manner the
blade of the knife came in contact with
the metal of the lamp and the result was
to so increase the current that every
globe in the room was melted out and
the blade of the knife almost melted off,
while a common brass pin, which came
from no one knows where, was finely
soldered into the knife blade. When
Mr. Wolter recovered sufficiently to
think, he found himself in total dark
ness. The mystery of the affair is where
the pin came from. Light Commissioner
Church pat in new lamps next day and
repaired the damage to the wires. Mr.
Wolter has the knife with the pin sol
dered in the blade on exhibition as a
memento of his experience. The next
time he cuts a string near an electric
light k wiU break it-Schuykr QuilL

were visited and w are informed that

After a couple of lively selections at Mr.

inside where their eyes fell upon two
long tables capable of seating twenty
live persons, literally loaded down with
an elegant variety of eatables prepared
in such a manner as to tempt the appe
