About a year ago 37 head of cattle were missed from theAUerton ranch and the overseers have been on the alert ever since, being certain that the cattle had been stolen although it was reported that they had strayed away.

Those prosecuting the case claim to have suffi cient evidence to convict Clark and several more who were implicated with him in the deal. Albion News.

T. Judy of Kearney to be accepted on inspection, who afterwards came and pronounced him satisfactory in every respect All the others were accepted and paid for on day of arrival. Many more could have been sold, Mr. Davies informs us, and we do not doubt that as farmers get ready they will invest in thoroughbreds or high grades. The declamation contest to deter mine who should represent the Colum bus High school at Wayne on the 28th inst was held at the opera house Thurs day night, resulting in the selection of Miss Tona Zinnecker from the dramatic, her averngo being the highest of all.

Several copies of the Sheldon edition of the Topeka Daily Capital were sub scribed for in Columbus, and we have been privileged to read them. We have no doubt that such a paper could have a patronage sufficient to sustain it, if It would undertake to make itself a neces sity to the christian people of the nation. The venture has been watched with con siderable interest, and there is no doubt but its financial success will have an influence upon the body of publishers in the United States. As for the enuncia tion of any new principle by the Preacher editor, there was none that we noticed. All human troubles are ascribed to human selfishness, and a special advo cacy has been made for prohibition, against usury, war, intemperance and avarice.

Vocal recital at the Congregational church, Wednesday evening, March 28, given by Miss Ethel Galley, who is well known, and Mr. John Martin of Lincoln, Nebraska. The Peru Pointer said of Mr. Martin's singing last March, when he took the tenor part in Cowen's beau tiful cantata, "The Rose Maiden," which was given by the musical department of the State Normal: "Mr. Martin is the tenor soloist of the First Congregational choir in Lincoln. He has a voice of unusual sweetness and sympathy, and he uses it with genuine musical feeling and good taste. He seemed in the best of voice on Wednesday evening and was the favorite with the audience, if favorite there was. The difficult recitatives of the cantata he gave as only the trained and experienced singer can. In solo and duet he was wholly admirable. At no time in the evening, perhaps, was the audience more deeply moved than in his closing phrases of "For from the Sum mer Blossom." Normal audiences will long remember Mr. Martin with his gen ial ways and splendid voice. That he may visit us again is the wish of all." Admission 35 cents. For benefit of Con gregational organ fond.

The usual preliminaries were gone through 'with, then Jndge Hensley offer ed some resolutions endorsing the plat form of 1896; Jefferson and Jackson; denouncing the "present mad and dan gerous stride toward imperialism, fraught with all the perils of militarism and of the power of insatiable money pluto cracy," and closing with the following resolution, which is about as rank and nauseous as it could well be: "That in this hourof the nation's great peril we look alone to that greatest of statesmen and acknowledged champion of the great common people William J. Bryan, the greatest man of this or any other age to guide this nation safely through the impending storm and bring back once more the grand old ship of state to that harbor of peace and domes tic tranquility vouchsafed by Washing ton and sustained by Jefferson and Madison."
