Messrs. Hoover Jc Stevens, whose
place of business is the Henry Stevens
farm this side of Genoa, have sent us by
Mr. Babcock, two boxes of the finest
strawberries we have ever seen, and cer
tainly they were very delicious to the
taste. They have seven acres devoted
to strawberries, three of them now bear
ing, having been set out last year. A
moderate estimate, from what has al
ready been produced is that these three
acres will give during this season 7,000
quarts to the acre. From the patch,
twenty berries have been selected,
which filled an ordinary strawberry box.
Certainly this is doing well, even with
irrigation, which they had. The straw
berry is calculated to be 96 per cent
water, and they had abundance of the
precious fluid.
The Woman's club held the last gen
eral meeting of the year at the home of
the president, Mrs. Dr Baker Saturday
June 2d, when officers for the ensuing
year were elected: Mrs. J. B. Gietzen
president, Mrs. C. Kramer 1st and Mrs.
J. G. Reeder 2nd vice president, Miss
Martha Turner recording secretary, Mrs.
Dr. Voss corresponding secretary, Mrs.
W. J. Williams treasurer, and Mrs. J. G.
Reeder delegate to the next federation of
clubs. After the election of officers Mrs.
Baker served dainty refreshments, and
Miss Florence Kramer pleased the com
pany with a recitation. Mrs. Baker then
gave each lady a clothes pin, two sheets
of paper, pink and green, the club colors,
and each lady was requested to dress a
doll, which was done in artistic style.
This meeting finishes the year's work of
the club, one of the most successful in
it's history; although there have not been
so many members the work has been car
ried out with interest in every depart
ment. Sister M Josephs, for twenty-one
years at the head of the Catholic school
here, has been appointed Sister Provin
tialofall the St. Francis institutions,
schools and hospitals, of the United
States. She received the official an
nouncement from the Mother house in
Germany last week. Her new duties
begin in a few weeks, when she will go
to Lafayette, InA, the Mother house of
America. The Sister Provintial will
be over about five hundred sisters and
is expected to visit each iaatitutioaonce
every year. Sister Josepha joined the
sisterhood twenty-eight years ago in
Germany (Sister Agnes, the music
teacher here, joining the sisterhood at
the same time.) Eighteen years ago,
both these sisters were sent to Colum
bus to start the St. Francis school,
which has steadily increased ever since.
Sister Josepha is a qaiet, modest woman,
an ideal of what the Catholic Sisters
should be, and the children who have
passed under her smpervision have a
j wonderful respect for her, and it has
been said she seldom makes a mistake.
The honor bestowed oa. her is a great
one from the church and while the pa
pils are almost heart broken over her
departure, they are glad to know of her

Xz-TreajTirsT Lynch aad Bondsmen (
Sued.
Last week County Attorney O'Brien
filed a petition in the district court
Platte county vs. James W. Lynch and
his bondsmen, praying judgment for a
balance of 313,279.45 and interest there
on from Jan. 9, 1S96, at the rate of ten
per cent, and costs of suit. It will be
remembered by Joubxai: readers that J.
W. Lynch was county treasurer for two
terms preceding Hans Elliott; that a
shortage was fonnd, after an examina
tion by experts, of $30,5125; that por
tions of this sum were paid at various
times by the bondsmen, leaving yet dne
$13,278.45.
Amongother allegations in the lengthy
document is one the substance of which
is that to the bondsmen was turned over
by Mr. Lynch "a great amount of real
estate, money, notes, bonds and other
securities for the purpose of hav
ing the same applied in the payment of
the said 313,278.45, the amount due on
the bonds;" that this was not done,
hence the suit brought under direction
of the county board of supervisors.
Of course there will be more to say
concerning this important interest of
Platte county.
Bemoral of Mill.
In 1878 Messrs. Glade k. Schaupp
erected a flouring mill on Clear creek in
Polk county, that was regarded as one
of the strongest and heaviest frame
buildings in central Nebraska.
R. B. Kummer became one of the own
ers of the property in 1880, and since
1886 has been sole owner.
Conceiving the idea that he could find
a better location for custom, and greater
profit in a change, he goes as a result to
Red Cloud, this state; will convert his
mill into an up-to-date steam mill, with i
the latest-improved sifter system.
With a force of four men for a week
and two men for three weeks, he has
succeeded in taking down the mill and
getting it ready for shipment to Red
Cloud, where it will be erected right
away.
Red Cloud is the county seat of Web
ster county, has a population of about
3,000, has no flouring mill, and has
offered Mr. Kummer the best of induce
ments to locate, and we believe that be
will give them good satisfaction in all
his dealings with them.
With all his acquaintances here, wei
wish him the success he deserves.

Gentry's Dosr and Pony Show.
Prof. Gentry's Dog and Pony Show
which will exhibit in Columbus, Thurs
day, June 21. afternoon and evening, is
perhaps one of the most wonderful of
its kind in the United States. The in
telligence of these ponies and dogs is
truly wonderful, and it is all done by
kindness. Every animal answers prompt
ly to his nnme, and does everything he
is told to do except talk. Professor
Gentry has 124 dogs, 57 ponies, 25
monkeys, and 2 small performing ele
phants 42 inches and 45 inches high.
The ponies are all Shetland except
"Eureka" and "Dotty Dimple," which
are East India "horses," the only two of
the kind in the country. The dogs
comprise every species from the Rus
sian poodle to the Indian curr, but they
are smart. The backward somersault,
the lame dogs, the clown dogs, the leap
ing of the troupe of grey-hounds, and
above all, the tnck of "Omaha" and
"Major" and the remarkable acting of
"Colonel" are very line. The pony drill
is superb, as is all the mischief making
of "The Tough."
They have had quite an exciting
time at Omaha with the school board.
A recent copy of the World-Herald says:
The charge against Sears is that of ac
cepting money to influence his vote on
contracts for supplies for the school
houses m the city. The case was worked
up by Detectives Buckmmster and Chin
iquy, who represented that they were
agents for school supplies. At the in
vestigation before a citizens' committee
and at the preliminary examination these
men testified that Sears accepted money
from them, agreeing to vote for con
tracts which they contended that they
were seeking to secure from the board
and which contracts it was represented.
were about to be awarded. George H.
Hess, who is charged with the commis
sion of a similar crime, is in attendance
upon the court and occupies a front seat,

They will receive prompt and careful
