AnoBNEr General Smyth has com

An official report received by the Ger

The state of Wisconsin has made
agriculture one of the prescribed studies

cate. Hoard's Dairyman.
There is considerable talk with some
of our exchanges in regard to clean col
lege sport. One of the very first essen
tials toward this end is the utter aboli
tion of hazing, and any senseless and
brutal practices that may be in vogue.
So long as these continue it is hardly
worth while to speak of clean sport.
There seems to be a great scramble
for Dave Campbell's place as supreme

We believe the office should come to

cratic county. Fremont Herald (Dem.)
Another of those brutal, senseless
outrages called hazing has resulted in
the death of a lad named Peter Y. Ber

A. G. Keih, formerly a deputy United
States marshal in Nebraska, has been
indicted for collecting "hush" money

resulted in the dismissal of other depu

been returned against them.
In the Review of Reviews for Decem
ber Dr. Albert Shaw writes on "The
School City A Method of Pupil Self
Government." This is a system now in
operation in many public schools
throughout the country by which train

citizenship. Dr. Shaw sets forth the
working principles on which the system
is based and gives many interesting facts
ef actual experience in the schools
which have developed these principles in
practice. The article is illustrated.
"Is trying to understand child-life,
sake two mental pictures," advises Bar
betta Brown in the December Ladies'
Home Journal. "In one, draw in the
child as a block of marble, with mother,
grandmother, teacher working away
doggedly, relentlessly; chiseling, ham
wring, pounding it into what they are
pleased to consider its proper shape. In
the other, draw the child as a plant, with
roots firmly set in the soil of circum
stance, with peculiar tendencies of its
own toward growth, naturally, gladly
outward and upward to what
it to be its blossoming. Then
tall aae which picture appeals to you as
lore early approaching truth. I have
faith eaoagh in human understanding to
believe that none will choose the first,
bat all the last, to hang in-their gallery
of irtriak How much simpler the beau
tiful growing process than the harsh
cUseliag process! All that we who love
the child have to do is carefully to keep
a ed condition its environment; to
see that it gets its Beaded awoabine; to
'stady aaoat carefally its natural growth
aatf Boarish that, and perhaps gently and
leriagly to prase it now and thea."

The Fighting First Nebraska regiment
is to be reorganized as the First regi
ment of the Nebraska national guard,
the place it held before going into the
United States service after the Spanish
American war broke out. The regiment
made a celebrated name under Colonel
Stotsenburg in the Philippines and now
that the members have returned home
and got settled again they will be given
an opportunity of serving the state.
Adjutant General Barry issued the first
order looking toward reorganization yes
terday. He authorized Captain Charles
A. Tickers, who was mustered into the
service as captain of company F, Madi
son, to recruit the old company, Captain
Charles W. Jens of Columbus returned
home in command of company F, and
Fred Gegner who was mustered into the
service as first lieutenant of company F,
returned home as captain of company !.
It is the intention of the state military
department to secure a first-class equip
ment for the regiment and to reorganize
all the companies as rapidly as possible.
The last legislature appropriated enough
money to support two regiments.
General Barry announces in his order
that in accepting resruits for company
F, preference will be given first to the
members of the company honorably dis
charged from the United States service;
second, honorably discharged soldiers of
other organizations will be accepted
without further examination; third, hon
orably discharged soldiers of the Nebras
ka national guard, and others, who will

The famous Warwick farm of 515
acres, in Warwick township, Chester
county, Pennsylvania, has been sold for
$12,000. On this property the old War
wick furnace, probably the first to make
iron in the United States, was put into
blast about the year 1730, and here many
of the cannon used by the patriot army
in the revolution were cast In the
meadows pieces of ordnance lie buried,
having been thus secreted to prevent
them from falling into the hands of the
British after the battle of Brandywine,
in 1777, when General Washington and
his army were retreating northward
through Chester county, leaving the
furnace exposed to the mercy of the
enemy.
Notice has been served by the de
feated justice of the peace in a Saline
county precinct, that he will contest the
election of his successful rival on the
grounds of the latter having treated dur
ing the campaign. The law is new and
all are interested in knowing how good
it is and it might just as well be settled
over the office of a justice of the peace
as any other office. The result will be
watched with interest. Seward Re
porter. Attorney General Grioos has in
structed District Attorney Summers to
look into the matter of the report on
field deputies filed against them by In
spector Finch and to report upon the
same if found true at a later date. Gen
eral Griggs says he would be compelled
to install office deputies in the Omaha
office and do away with field deputies.

Several members of the school board
visited our schools last Friday.
The program of the Ninth grade, which
was to be rendered next Friday will be
postponed until the following Friday.
Charles Bloedorn went to his home at
Platte Center Friday evening, and visited
with his parents until Monday morning.
Nothing pleases the schools more than
the thought that the school board
cooperates with them in securing holi
days. Prof. Hilsabeck, formerly principal of
the Platte Center High school, visited
the High school Monday, and listened to
several recitations of the grades.
The Tenth grade are endeavoring to
have Mr. Wentworth appear before the
Columbus people on December 15. The
proceeds of this lecture will be used in
buying indispensable articles for the
physics room.
The Gnstava Quartet, accompanied by
Miss Elisner, the reader and impersona
tor, will appear at the opera house Sat
urday evening, Dec. 2. Every person
who wiehes to see the best entertainments
that visit Columbus, should secure a
season ticket. Tickets are for sale by
the members of Junior and Senior grades
and Pollock's drug store.
If the main team of Columbus had
gone to Fremont, it would have been an
easy victory for them; but as it was some
of their best players stayed at home,
their substitutes being weaker players.
The best of their substitutes were Stock
and Chase, one of the Fremont High
school and the other a Normal substi
tute, who played center rush and left
end. The Normal team may play our
team at Columbus before the season
closes.
In response to action by the Omaha
city authorities the Standard Oil com
pany has agreed to reconstruct its five
gallon cans. Inspection disclosed a
shortage of four ounces to each five
gallons, which carried oat generally
throughout the United States, has
brought in a nice little profit to Bro.
Bockafeller. It will not be necessary
to construct new cans, as the bottoms
which are set into the base a distance
of over an inch, can be lowered suffi
ciently to meet the standard. There
are tricks in all trades but ours. It is
hoped the reform will not seriously
cripple the good Brother who is reach
ing out, in one way and another, to con
trol the earth. It will next be necessary
to look into the strawberry boxes, where
the bottoms are about an inch from the
top. Fremont Herald.

Only a few fields of corn not yet
finished.
Helped eat a watermelon Sunday at
Home Farm; and it was pretty good, but
not so fine as when fresh. The melon
was kept since early in September in a
bin, and covered with shelled corn.
Last week was a disagreeable one to
corn buskers; one hilf inch of rainfall
Monday morning and then foggy, cloudy
and wet all the week until Saturday,
when the sun shone again, but it makes

We are glad to learn that George Car
ter, who has farmed the Adamy place
near the Reed school bouse the past year,
has been retained for another year.
George is a hard working man and hon

cannot do without.
Saturday we met a farmer coming out
qf Columbus with a brand new reaper
and binder loaded on his wagon, and on
being asked what-be was going to make
of the machine, said. "Cut winter wheat,"
Don't know whether he is a subscriber
to The Journal or not.
Last Friday morning, Henry Bach
man, who has worked the past summer
for his brother Jacob on the Rhode farm,
started in a new covered wagon, over
land, for Oklahoma, where he has a farm
of 80 acres, and where he expects to
make his future home. Wm. Moore
started with Henry for the same place,
and expects to invest in land before
returning.
Learning that Frank Dischner had
decided to attend the Fremont Normal
school this winter, the young folks of
this neighborhood planned and executed
a surprise for him at his brother Tom's
residence last Friday evening. Frank
had been husking corn all day and was
just getting ready for retiring when the
crowd came in. As soon as the object of
the visitors was made known, Frank was
not long in changing his plans for the
evening and joined them in their merry
making. Games and plays wero played,
and oysters and crackers were ate, until
about 1 o'clock a. m. We understand
that Frank starts to school next Monday
a good idea.
The recent election at the Town hall
was so quiet and orderly as to reflect
credit on the voters of Columbus town
ship; so quiet was it being conducted
that a person might think religious ser
vices were being held inside, but about
midday, the board's attention was called
to the barking of a dog under the floor
of the hall, after a time the barking of
the dog became more furious, then all
was quiet for a moment, when whew!
one person remarked, that the room was
blue, another said he could keep it up
with two laths. There was some little
commotion inside for a time, until the
acting officer got the dog out from under
the house, and then stopped the breach
in the wall, leaving the fighting vermin
in possession of the inside, and the dog
on the outside, after which there was no
more annoyance from that source.
Second Bomber of the High School
Lecture Coarse.
The Gustave Male Quartet has been
secured for the fifth entertainment on
the High school lecture course, and will
be here, on Saturday evening, Dec 2.
This number has been secured to fill
the date for November, given to Col.
Copeland, who on account of other en
gagements, had to have his date post
poned until March.
Rather than loose Col. Copeland, who
is considered "king of the platform" it
was decided to change the date.
The Quartet comes highly recom
mended and it was only on account of
an off night that we secured them. Ac
companying them, is Miss Elisner, a
graduate of Chicago school of oratory,
who will render several selections. All
holders of season tickets are entitled to
this lecture without extra charge.
Season tickets for the remaining four,
all high-class entertainments, may be
secured for 75c of the secretary.

There is no comparison between former
editions, and this splendid Almanac for
1900, now ready. Printed in beautiful
colors, on much finer paper, its 196 pages
are packed with invaluable information
on storms, astronomy and meteorology.
It is illustrated with nearly 200 finest
half tones and other engravings. This
superb book would sell anywhere for
fifty cents, but it costs omxt 25c a copy,
and every subscriber to Rev. Irs R.
Hicks' now famous paper, Word and
Works, at $1.00 a year; receives this ele
gant Almanac a a premium. Word and
Works ia a recognised leader among the
best family and scientific journals, while
nothing of its kind can compare with
the Hicks Almanac. One dollar a year
is a nominal price for auch unique and
useful publications. Professor Hicks
has justly, and of necessity, withdrawn
his storm and weather forecasts from all
free almanacs, having generously given
his time and labor free for nearly twenty
years. Word and Works Pub. Co., 2201

We had not before heard of the incident
related in regard to a Columbus boy:
"A youag man, a resident of Dea Moines,
was killed at the state university at

Saturday morning. When some one of
the boys here are taken home to their

was hurriedly brought to town to be

The following special from Hebron
to the Omaha Bee, ahows a general state
of feeling that is apt to make a some
what similar appnrmue almost any
where: "Last Thurtd:iy the Adams ex
press company and the United States
Express company withdrew their office
from the B. St M. and Chicago, Rock
Island k Pacific depots, respectively, add
quit the town. This action was the cul
mination of a controversy between the
express companies and the city council.
Until a little over a year ago the express
companies had been paying but $10 a
year occupation tax, but at that time a
readjustment of the levies had .been
made whereby $20 a .year was asked.
The express people immediately stopped
free delivery. The council tried to per
suade them to replace the deliveries.
Failing in this, an occupation tax of $50
was imposed and the companies quit
the city."

It is a remarkable and Instructive
fact that the career of four of the
most renowned characters that ever
lived closed with a violent or mournful
death.
Alexander, after looking down from
the dizzy heights of his ambition upon
a conquered world and weeping that
there were no more to conquer, died
of intoxication In a scene of debauch,
or, as some suppose, by poison mingled
In his wine.
Hannibal, whose name carried ter
ror to the heart of Rome Itself, after
having crossed the Alps and put to
flight the armies of the mistress of
the world, was driven from his coun
try and died at last of poison adminis
tered by his own hands in a foreign
land, unlamented and unwept
Caesar, the conqueror of 800 cities,
and his temples bound with chaplets
dipped in the blood of a million of bis
foes, was miserably assassinated by
those he considered his nearest friends.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeyed, after filling the earth
with the terror of his name, closed bis
days in lonely banishment upon a bar
ren rock in the midst of the Atlantic
ocean.
Such the four men who may be con
sidered representatives of all whom
the world calls great, and such their
end intoxication, or poison, suicide,
murdered by friends, lonely exile!

When I was In Alx-les-Bains last
summer, I saw a stout German woman
sitting at another table eating from an
enormous pile of plates, I thought at
first she was carving or doing' some
thing of that kind, but as the meal
progressed and the pile became no less
I made Inquiry and found ont that she
was extremely nearsighted, and the
pile of plates exactly 19 In number
was necessary to raise her food to a
point where it would come within her
range of vision. She was no less a
personage than the Duchess of Sles-
wick-Holsteln.
In Italy they do not use glass in the

aee'an old chap reading bis paper and
la another a young miss doing up her
hair. There are also other scenes of
even more intimate family character,
which I will leave to your Imagination.

It has often been, remarked that a

remark at the place aud time men

somewhat scanty hair of a dark au
burn shade, and a jolly, good humored
face and wholesome laugh that would
attract any girl. She was a pretty lit
tle dark thing, with a sort of clinging
manner, eminently prepossessing. She
was dressed in some soft stuff of dark
blue with white dots all over it, and
they appeared to 1k saying goodby.
So completely absorbed were tliey In

livious to the fact that they were being
watched. Indeed not one of the thou
sands of sightseers who passed them
failed to turn a'ud smile. They made a
striking picture.
He was just on the point, for the
twentieth time, of releasing her hand
when another thought struck him, and
he raised his hat, exposing his some
what thinly covered head, and bent so
low over the little band that the on
lookers evidently thought he was going
to kiss it. Whether he would have or
whether she would have let hlin will
never be decided, for a small boy, who
had been intently watching the whole
performance, exclaimed amid the
laughter of the crowd:
"Ah, why don't you marry the girl?"

Yawalaa? Ia Theater.
Have you ever observed at a theater
or concert that the people who are
most deeply Interested appear between
the acts to be quite weary of the whole
thing, yawning half a dosea times la
succession? The reason of this Is a
physiological one. When your atten?
tloa Is much absorbed In anything ex
citing or touching, you breathe la a
very shallow manner and take Into
your lungs only half enough air. Con
sequently, when your attention Is re
laxed, yon have to make up the de
ficiency. This you do by yawning,
which, after all, is only breathing a
very deep breath.
If you watch a man at a play and
observe that he Is greatly moved by
some Incident, you may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will slgb. and
a moment or two later yawn repeated
ly. Of course the yawning, so far
from being a sign of weariness. Is a
proof of the liveliest appreciation.
A Ballet la His Bratlau
A hospital physician pointed out an
orderly to a gentleman who was visit
ing the Institution recently aud said:
"That man has for five years carried
around a bullet In Ids brain. Five
years ago he became despondent be
cause of poverty, put a 32 caliber pis
tol behind bis left ear, pulled the trig
ger and fell apparently dead. The
ball made a small, round bole and re
mained lodged somewhere In his head.
A few hours after he was brought here
he regained consciousness, and. great
ly to our surprise, he made a rapid re
covery. The wound was never proted,
and no effort has been made to locate
the bullet. After he was able to walk
about we noticed that he was a trifle
Irrational not mad you know but
weakmlnded. A considerable portion
of his brain must without doubt be en
tirely destroyed. The human animal
Is certainly the hardest thing on earth
to kill." New York News.
A Mistake.
An old gentleman of 80 having taken
to the altar a young damsel of 15, the
clergyman said to him:
"The font Is at the other end of the
church."
"What do I want with the font?"
said the old gentleman.
"Oh. I beg your pardon." said the
clerical vit. "I thought you had
brought this child to !e christened."
