One of the recent strong lessons of warning comes from diseased chickens, quite a large number of a gathering here being afflicted, some of them very seriously for a number of hours, until the evil effects of the poison were coun teracted.

As noted in last week's Journal, the price of hay has advanced. It is likely to go still higher before cold weather settles down upon us, the rea son being the greatly added number of cattle and sheep to be brought here from the west the coming winter for feeding. As in former seasons, it is well enough to save all the rough feed, and also utilize the corn fodder, thus making as much money from the hay as possible. A crazy man who about midnight of last Wednesday appeared at Henry C Bean's south of the river, asking admis sion, claiming that two men were fol lowing him, imagining that he had something to do with the Durant mur der in California.

Howells Journal Elmer Baltz, a 3 year old boy living near Fremont, was out all night in one of the thunder and lightning storms lately, having wandered away from home. When found he was at the border of a field of sugar cane nearly a mile from the house and sunk shoulder deep in the mnd of a slender stream. With him was his faithful companion, a Scotch collie shepherd dog, holding on to the child by a mouthful of apron and growling a smothered but savage growL Herald. In nothing else as in the words we habitually use in the common talk of dai ly life do we show so plainly our degree of refinement, our culture or the lack of it, and the plane on which our thoughts move. It is therefore worth our while, do you not see, to take some pains with our conversation, not in such a way as to make us seem stiff and pedantic, but to recognize the fact that here, as in other departments of lite and learning, it is training that. tells in results. Septem ber Ladies' Home Journal. Roy Smith of Omaha who assisted in the Boetteher benefit concert Friday evening is a Nebraska gentleman who gives promise of making the state fa mous. He was a fellow student with Paderewski in Vienna, when that king of the piano was known more by his yellow hair than by his wonderful gen ius.

Coolidge, assisted in the concert Mr. Wheeler has sung here a number of times and the people are always delighted to hear him. E. Corbin, the U. P. park gardener, returned Saturday from Chicago, where he attended the G. A. R. reunion. He says the Tuesday parade took four hours to pass a given point. Every state and territory and even Alaska was repre sented by delegates in the procession. Forty bands marched in the Illinois linos. Chicago was visited last week by more people than at any time in its his tory, with the exception of Chicago day at the World's fair. Of the Nebraska soldiers who marched, 224 out of the 225 wore the McKinley button. Who says the old soldier has gone back on his party? Some one camped beside of Peter Ericson's private lake some time ago and when Peter went to clean ont the lake the other day he fonnd that they had managed to gather in all his five-year old bass, also a good many of his others. This makes over 2000 pounds of fish that have been stolen from him in the six months and he is lying for the next thief who will find it interesting in the courts. The foregoing, from the Greeley Inde pendent, shows how a man's very valua ble property may be filched from him, by unprincipled men who have no re gard for the rights of other people. The conference year is drawing to a close and as a result of the work for the past year, Rev. Yost, pastor of the Meth odist church, will report to his confer ence about as follows: Repairs on prop erty $150. Salary paid in fnll all benevolences collected in full. Church papers increased in circulation from 15 to 60. Fifty-five baptisms and 74 acces sions to the church. This will be the best report ever given of the Columbus Methodist church. Rev. Yost says it is the most successful year of his ministry. Conference will be held at Norfolk, com mencing Sept 19, and continuing one week. Bishop Merrill will preside. Henry Schutte, a prominent citizen of Wilson precinct, Colfax county, died Saturday forenoon last, we are informed, of stomach and heart trouble.

Whitney, a resident here in 1870, now of Wayne, Kansas, is visiting former places of residence. He was a soldier during the Rebellion, and since 1890 has been getting a pension of $12 a month. He is now 75 years of age, and seems to be- enjoying 'life as well as the youngest of men. The last work he did at his trade was some years ago in Saun ders county, when he built a church. There 'is something remarkable in his service as a soldier, although he was ac tively engaged in many battles and skirmishes during four years, he never received a scratch. Since living here, he was for seven years at the Soldiers' Home, Grand Island. The North Platte Tribune says: The Union Pacific has placed an order for new equipment that astonishes rail road men who have been watching or ders placed by that, road in the past About a year ago the road bought forty new locomotives' for heavy freight work. These were delivered to the road and are now in service. Following this or der the road placed another for forty lo comotives, and these are being deliver ed now at the rate of one per week. Now the road has placed an order for twenty new passenger engines, 300 steel frame box cars and 300 steel frame coal cars are included in the new order which may yet be extended to take in several hundred stock cars and other rolling stock. The twenty passenger engines, which incidentally come in the same order with several new freight en gines for the Oregon Short Line, are of the Baldwin compound type each weigh ing 176,000 pounds.

Monday afternoon at about 4 o'clock, while John Plumb was returning with his team and wagon, from the elevator to the soales at Way & Fairchild's, a B. & M. train backing west through the alley north of the elevator, struck one of the hind wheels of his wagon, breaking all the spokes, shoving the wagon to one side, upsetting it, and throwing Mr. Plumb about ten feet away to the north of the crossing, falling on his shoulders, rendering him unconscious for an hour or so. No bones were broken, but he was considerably bruised on back of neck and shoulders. The train was long; no man was sent ahead of the backing train; Mr. Plumb is exceeding ly hard of hearing, and so it happened that a Becond more time for crossing would have' probably saved him any in jury whatever, and a delay of a second would probably have cost him his life and that of his team. The horses, after the accident stood still, and gave no trouble. After con sciousness returned Mr. Plumb was taken to his home east of the city. He could tell at that time that something out of the usual had happened, but he was yet more or less dazed by the fall. The Old Settler' Picnic. Tuesday last at the opera house this city, for dinner and for the speaking fol lowing there were quite a large number of the old settlers and members of their families, goodly number taking their dinner in the hall. At 2 o'clock, the president, Mrs. W. W. Mannington, called the meeting to order, and delivered a happy brief ad dress of welcome. After invocation by Rev. Joel Warner of Creston, Mayor Louis Held, on behalf of the citizens, gave the assembled crowd a hearty welcome to the city, say ing that while he was not one of the old settlers, he was pretty close to them. He felt that it was a great pleasure to meet them. A. Lnth read the minutes of the last meeting in October, 1899, after which officers were elected, as follows, for the ensuing year: J. H. Galley, president; M K. Turner, First vice president; C. O. Moore, Second vice president; John M. Kelley, Third vice president; Mrs. Chas. Brindley, secretary; P. H. Kelley, treas urer. H. J. HUDSON. Mr. Hudson spoke briefly touching upon his trip in 1854 down the Platte valley, from Kearney to Omaha; in 1856, coming to make a home; in 1857, the trials and struggles of the days forty three years ago no one then could have begun to imagine, in anticipation what a country this was to be in 1900. Sure ly Platte county people of today may well be proud of those who laid the foundations of one of the best counties in one of the best states a grand place to live in. J. E. NORTH. Mr. North spoke of having come to Nebraska forty-four years ago last May, and of the many joys and sorrows that had been the lot of the old settlers. Those who were first here took up land along the streams and near the timber, very few anticipating that the table lands would be productive. There was little then to break the monotony of the landscape, except the trees along the margins of the streams; the whole coun try from the Missouri river to the sum mit of the Rocky mountains on the west, and from the Kansas lino on the south to the British possessions on the north, constituted the Nebraska of those days, 'embracing 351,588 square miles of territory, in fact the country was very "big on area, and small on pop ulation.'' Mr. North drew a vivid pic- tare of what the Platte valley might become within the life of the child now .-A-DfcTOT LAST ONE THIS SEASON. . .

Ono phase of the early life he referred to, and that was the tolerance of opinion there was. People of all shades of opinion, religious and politi cal, were welcomed, in fact there was no qnestion asked, but all treated heartily. a. w. GALLEY. Mr. Galley spoke of the sparce settle ment of the early days, when everybody between Omaha and Kearney were neighbors, and then referred to inci dents of his earlier life in England, just before concluding to come to this coun try; then of the voyage from Liverpool to New Orleans, which then took ten weeks; then of his experience with driv ing an ox team for the first time; his crossing the plains, three months; his winter's work in '52-'3, burning charcoal, living on bread and water; lastly of the early experience of going to mill at Pa pillion. The jump from the common work of those days to these is almost incredible. W. A. It'ALLISTEB. Will, said that from the time when he was eleven years old with his father, coming with the rest of the family in two wagons, in the year '54, tbe changes in Platte county alone have been simply marvelous. Nebraska raises now 225, 000,000 bushels of corn in a year, more than all the United States raised before '51; and we can go from here to Manila and back twice over, in less time than formerly between here and New York City. Tbe next fifty years, he thought, wonld show still greater ratio of im provement than in the past. our c. bb;:um. Mr. Barnum spoke very briefly, telling of his birth in Vermont, April 25, 1825; of his travel here by way of St. Louis in 1844, and of the wonderful improve ments that had taken place since, clos ing with a feeling reference to the old, young people, who are soon to take the place of the older ones in all the affairs of life and government, their ability to ask questions being far beyond that of their elders to satisfy by answer.

Comparisons are made with condi tions four years ago to show what a big difference there is. At the close of business on August 29, 1896, the total deposits in the Bank of Monroe were $21,519.50. At the close of business on August 29, 1900, the total deposits of that institution were $55,250.08, or more than two and one-half times as much as in 1896. As this money belongs to tho farmers and business men of this com munity it makes a splendid showing and is ample proof of prosperous times. Monroe Republican. Land far Sale.
