The census enumerator does not get much pay for his work, and can illy afford to spend much time about it, and so it will be a convenience to yourself if you are prepared before he comes to answer all his questions. Take down the family bible, brush off the dust, and look over the family record therein kept, and if incomplete now would be a good tune to make it what it oaght to be. One of the things not always here tofore repaired by the census authorities is whether or not your place is mort gaged.

A telegram received at Omaha Fri day night announced the death of S. H. H. Clark, former president of the Union Pacific railroad company, at Aahville, N. C, where Mr. Clark had been for his health several months. The funeral will take place at Omaha, which he had for years regarded as bis home. All who knew Mr. Clark loved the man, and ev ery man in the Union Pacific service was his loyal supporter in affairs of the great corporation. People along the line of the road ever recognized the fact that so far as Mr. Clark was individually con concerned, he always did his best for the. good of the country tributary to the road, for which he will always be held in grateful remembrance. Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock Valentine Strampeck, a Pole living two miles north of Duncan, was found in the southern part of the city on the river road, lying under his wagon which was loaded with flour, a wheel over his chest and he in an unconscious state, his team standing quietly. It seems impos sible to find how he came to be there, but it is supposed his horses had been unmanagable and he fell out. He was not intoxicated, as was at first reported. He was a temperate man and refused that afternoon to drink with friends. He was taken to the hospital but gained consciousness only a short time before bis death Monday evening at 6. Mr. Strampeck leaves a wife and nine chil dren to mourn his loss. The Columbus High school alumni association gave a reception Saturday evening in the new High school building.

W. J. Williams was awarded the prize for the beet work, a medallion caste of Lincoln. Miss Sheldon was also given a prize, a framed picture of one of the Stewart children, for the most art games won during the year; this was the gift of Mrs. A. J. Baker, the Wo man's dnb leader. The ladies found their places around the dining room by hunting their likeness from subjects of pictures written on hand-painted cards in shape of a painter's palette. Green and pink (the club colors) ices were served in shape of the palette, with one strawberry to represent the thumb hole. After leech the ladies retarned home to meet again next fall, when they will re- their art studies.

Thomas Dischner has had built around his dwelling a beautiful picket fence, and caused same to be painted white, which is very attractive. F. N. Prout of Beatrice who has been nominated on the republican ticket for attorney general, is an old friend of the writer and we ware brought up nearly together in the town of Toulon, Stark county, I1L A reminiscence of long ago might interest some one at this time. During the year 1871 Frank was study ing law and following the painter's trade enough to make comfortable his aged parents, with whom he lived at that time in Toulon. The writer followed plastering aad brick-laying at the same place, and was tryiBg to paint mornings and evenings,- a wagon which he used in his business, when Frank came to him on the 29th of August, 1871, and said, UI am fixing np a room to suit mother. I have been lathing today, have not made good progress, and look at this finger. I wish you would come and finish my work. I will paint your wagon for you, and will settle satisfactorily to you," and he did. Frank commenced where we left off and we commenced where Frank left off and there were two pieces of work finished to the satisfaction of all concerned. Blackstone was put on the shelf until my wagon glistened so as to be envied by all rivals. No doubt he has kept right along doing good honest work. PWtfilk We have had good rains in this neigh borhood, and as usual in the right time. David Thomas shipped four cars of fat cattle to Omaha this week.
