AN ACCOUNT of the recent lire in oof store, which smoked the greater
U part of our stock, we have decided to close out everything cleftnv
We will not put a dollar's worth of the old stock into the new store, when
it is repaired and ready for use.
We had just received our new Spring stock of ready-made Suits,
Skirts, Jackets, Wrappers, Hosiery, Muslin Underwear, Dress Goods, Per
cales, Laces, Allovers, Linings, Trimmings, Table Linen, Towels, Handker
chiefs, Ribbons, Gloves, Muslin, Prints and in fact, all the new things in
our line. We had a very large assortment of the best to be found. Some
were burned up, others smoked and soiled, but thousands of dollars'
worth were in boxes, or covered up and were not touched by either fire
or water, yet the reputation of fine goods is damaged by being in a store
that has burned out, and all must be sold at any price it will bring, every
article in the store will be sacrificed.
We cant quote prices, because of the different conditions the goods
are in, but you will find everything is a bargain. Come before the sizes
are broken, and get your pick.
Of course, readers of The Journal
will be sure to read the advertisement of
J. H. Galley. This store on Eleventh
street has been for years noted for carry
ing good goods at fair prices; courteous
treatment of customers, and absolute
truthfulness as to the quality of goods
for sale. These are a few of the prom
inent reasons why they do such a large
business, and retain their customers.
They do business on the principle of
mutual benefit.

member of school board, the present
incumbent, Henry Hockenberger, was
named, who, with Henry Lubker, nom

There were quite a number of dem
ocrats at the republican city convention,
who, while they said nothing out loud,
seemed inwardly to really enjoy the
occasion. Captain Hockenberger waa
perfectly fair as presiding officer; every
man who spoke to issues before the con
vention was allowed perfect freedom in
the expression both of his feelings and
his opinions; a ticket composed of men
of experience, talent and tact waa nomi
nated, and why shouldn't the visiting
democracy have been well pleased at the
prospect of having auch good men to
look after the interests of the city during
the coming term?

Saturday laat, on the arrival of the
passenger train from Albion at the depot
here, the community waa shocked by the
news that just a few minutes before, Mr.
nnil Wn .TnaiaK HlMi'nrlanr) hail inatanf.
I ly lost their lives, being struck dead and
most fearfully mangled, at the third
crossing west of the Fish pond, on the
Union Pacific branch just beyond the
city limits.
The public wagon road at this point
runs north and south, and makes with
the railroad track an angle of about
forty-five degrees. Besides the fireman
and the aged couple in their buggy, there
were two little children of Mr. Stabb who
saw the accident at close range George
McFarland, son of the sged couple, from
his farm, seeing the train, the buggy, the
cloud of dust and the stopping of the
train, was nearly beside himself with
apprehension ss to what had happened.
The train was stopped at a little east
of the next crossing, the bodies taken
from the engine's pilot where they were
lying side by side, placed in the baggage
car, and from there taken in charge by
Mr. Gass, the undertaker, and prepared
for burial at bis establishment.
The buggy was torn to pieces, and was
disengaged from the staid old horse, that
immediately started back for home, and
was met a abort distance from the wreck
by George MoFarland.
Coroner Metz drove down from Hum
phrey Sunday morning, summoned a
jury consisting of Ed. Bossiter, August
Dietrichs, Fred. Curtis, J. E. Kaufmann,
Horace Ward and Ed. Hoare, who met
at the court house, and heard testimony.
George R McFarland testified, (besides
as related above) that he found on the
body of his mother, a watch that had
stopped at 1:15. He thought the train
was a little late, but was not sure of that.
Both father and mother were hard of
hearing.
Engineer F. R Wambaugh, mainly in
answer to questions, stated that the
engineer's place is at the right side of
the cab. There were no trees to obstruct
the view. The train left Oconee square
on time and they were running on time.
It waa very near to the crossing before
he knew anything of the buggy, the
fireman, on the left aide of the cab cal
ling his attention, the fireman being the
only one who could see the buggy. Two
long and two abort whistles were given,
and the sand used, but were too near
the crossing to prevent the accident.
The east-bound train can from this
point be seen at least four miles,
half way to Oconee.
Fireman William Moran testified aa to
the usual aignals given at both the cross
ings; to seeing the buggy and its occu
panta from his place in the cab of the
engine; to calling the attention of the
engineer to his own impression that the
folks were going to keep on the north
side of the railroad; to Mr. McFarland'a
pulling on the lines and striking the
horse with them, which did not change
his gait; to the engine striking between
the wheels of the buggy, the man and
woman alightly turning to look at the
engine.
Conductor Hugh Compton knew that
something waa wrong when the alarms
were given and the train stopped. He
saw both bodies as they lay on the pilot
with some parte of the buggy. The train
waa running on time at the usual rate of
speed. In answer to a question by
George McFarland, as to how long it
took to stop the train when running at
its usual rate of speed, he said about the
distance of five or six telegraph poles,
and he guessed they were about ninety
feet apart. The train stopped right on
the next crossing.
The engineer, being recalled, said that
thirty miles an hour, is forty-four feet in
a second; he judged that the two cross
ings were eighty to one hundred yards
apart. There were four cars in the train.
They stopped in less than a quarter of a
mile.
Brakeman A. E. McKenna didn't know
much about the accident. The train was
running at the usual rate; he knew by
the whistles that something was wrong,
and saw the horse running away from
the train.
After viewing the bodies in the upper
room of Undertaker Gass' establishment,
the jury returned to the court house and
rendered a verdict in substance that the
"death was accidental, and not due to
any negligence on the part of the train
crew.

We could readily believe that neither
Mr. nor Mrs. McFarland had an enemy
on earth. Their affection for each other
and for their friends was singularly
strong. On this side the seemingly very
thin veil which separates the visible
from the invisible, their last minutes on
tfc earth war together and the proba
bility is that death came so quickly that
they were not conscious of its usual
accompaniments of pain, anguish and
despair.
J. C. Flaxel, who lives between this
and Bellwood, was in the city Friday,
calling at Journal headquarters. Speak
ing of the difference in yield of spring
and winter wheat in his neighborhood,
he says that George Allen last year
threshed forty bushels to the acre of
winter wheat, while he got but twenty
two of spring wheat; Henry Whitney
got forty-two bushels to the acre of
winter wheat. One farmer last yesr had
fonr thousand bushels of wheat. It is
little wonder that with such crops, the
kind of land that produces then sella
readily for Ifty doUara aa acre.
