Reanion of Sbiloh VeteranB, Colum bu, Nebraska, April 9 and 10. Fan-American Exposition, Buffalo, New York, May 1 to November 1, 1901. Severe snow and wind storms in West Virginia Thursday. AguixaIiDO has taken the oath of alle giance to the United States government. Not a single case of yellow fever was reported in Havana April 1, the first time known to history. Mrs. Mabia Todd, widow of Ohio's war governor, died, aged 88 years, at Youngstown, Ohio. Ex-Sekator John M. Tiiurston- has been designated chairman of the St. Louis fair commission by the president. For the first time in the history of Russia, ministers have notified the czar that a law he promulgated could not be enforced. The New Mexico fruit crop will be a total failure, owing to the heavy snow storm, the thermometer dropping a dozen degrees. A Connecticut man is about to start a rattlesnake farm, expecting to make money out of the oil and the skins, each being worth at the rate of a dollar an ounce. Schlatter, the once famous divine healer, arrived in Sioux City Wednesday, taking up quarters at a hotel. He regis tered nnder the name of Dr. Charles McLean. Dr. Georoe McLaughlin, formerly of Tekamah and Omaha, dropped dead in New York Saturday of heart disease. His sisters lived with him in New York. He was 30 years of age. It seems to be conceded that the f unionists will have five members on the Supreme court commission and the republicans four. Appointments had not been made at Monday's meeting. Albert Eissleb of Oakdale thought he would kill a chicken with a revolver, but as it did not go off, he looked down the barrel to see what was the matter. It went off and he is now in the hospital. Andrew C. Freebueo, the farmer near Greaham who secured $7,000 from a David City bank some two years ago, on cattle he did not own, was recently arrested at Iola, Kansas, and is now in jail at York. "Until the people oome to their own in a co-operative commonwealth," is the wind-up of a lengthy editorial in the Cedar Rapids Outlook, touching the tendency of trusts to consolidate and grab everything in sight. . The Rambler copper mine near Lara mie, Wyoming, is reported as a bonanza, and it is said will soon be one of the richest producers of copper in the world. It has been located and re-located a dozen times in twenty years. No license won by fifteen majority at Cocad. The anti-saloon people gained the day at Central City. The temper ance ticket was elected at Lexington. License was triumphant at Tekamah; it has been three years since Tekamah had a saloon. The temperance ticket won at Stromsburg. The old cannon which Congressman Burkett secured for the veterans of Cass county, has arrived and will be mounted on the court house grounds at Platts mouth. It is hoped to have the old gun in place by April 9, the date npon which they will hold a campfire in memory of the anniversary of Gen. Lee's surrender. Gut Anderson of Waco, an industri ous young farmer, committed suicide last Sunday, wrapping barbed wire around himself, tying the wire to a post at a stack of straw, then setting fire to the straw, and cutting his throat Of course he must have been crazy, for there is no reason can be assigned for the act While the three little boys of John F. Schulze, living east of Lyons, were hav ing a good time exploding grain powder in empty glass bottles, one of the bottles exploded in the hands of Walter, des troying the sight of one eye, a piece of glass cutting the eyeball over the pupil. The lad was taken to the Methodist hos pital at Omaha for surgical treatment. Miss Emma Bohac was assaulted last Wednesday evening, near Howells, while oa her way home, two miles east of the Tillage. A man got off his horse and asked to carry her grip. She gave no answer, but walked on toward home. He afterwards turned his horse loose, and attempted to take her from the highway, but she fought him, and creamed for help. While she was yet struggling, a team was seen coming, at which he desisted, and she fled away from him. He was afterwards arrested and identified as the assailant of the yoaag lady. His name is James B. Drake. The Howells Journal says: "The law provides so penalty severe eaough for criminals of this kind.'' 8everal years ago stock growers of Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota organized and appointed inspectors to trace ap estrays, at the great markets. For the year ended March 31, 1901, the remit was for South Omaha alone: Total namber inspected, 330,081; estrays beloaging to cattlemen in Wyoming, 164, value, $6515.16; estrays belong ing to cattlemen in South Dakota, 2,126, Talae, $72,64035; estrays belonging to rattksnon m Nebraska, 519, value, $19,-. 90003; total number of estrays, 464; total value of estrays, $159,808.03. The cost of this inspection of cattle at South $4,73&8B,.A. saving to the of-Wyowing, South Dakota aad Nebraska of $155,072.10 during they XXXX90QQQOQQaeXXX90QQQQQ006X Admiral Barney has been authorized to accept five hun dred Filipinos for marine ser vice. LIQUID AIR. Doubtless the following, which we clip from the Norfolk News, will be of inter est to Journal readers who have not studied the matter at close range. It is a summary of the lecture before the North Nebraska Teachers' association at their last meeting: "Prof. Woodland was thoroughly at home with his subject and discoursed on the wonderful substance in elegant lan guage, yet so simple that a child could understand. He gave a history of its discovery, mode of manufacture and de scribed its chemical properties. He handled the material with impunity yet performed feats that had the appearance of being little less than legerdemain. The wonderful manner in which the extremes of heat and cold were produced in an ice tumbler without its being melted was one of the most marvellous experiments. An electric light carbon was burned in the tumbler and at the same time was used to stir cranberries which were frozen so solid that they crushed like glass beads. In this dem onstration there was a difference in tem peratures of several thousand degrees. Nails were driven with a hammer of mercury, frozen solid. A lighted ciga rette was immersed in the liquid, Hashed up like powder and disappeared 'show ing its usefulness in destroying garbage;' steel pens were welded; beef steak was 'cooked' until it rang like steel and was broken with a hammer like rock; whis key was frozen solid and pieces passed throuch the andionco. The liquid was Donred on a cake of ico and sizzed around on it like water poured on a red hot stove. The speaker informed the audience that he was turning loose a large quantity of Boston air, it having been converted into a liquid there, and that the people would have the pleasure of breathing the air of that aesthetic city during the evening. The evening was a veritable trip into the fairy land of science, dealing with temperatures hitherto unknown and the experiments above described were but a few of those performed. The possibili ties of the discovery are not known. The liquid is in its infancy and it may develop as wonderful results as electric ity or steam." First or last a contention is pretty sure to get recorded in court in some shape. A recent decision of the Iowa supreme court involves the idea that animals exercise reason. Mr. Graybill brought suit against the Chicago, Mil waukee k St Paul railway for killing stock at a crossing. The engineer had failed to warn the animals by whistling. The railway company contended that the warning required was intended only for human beings, but when the judge of the lower court gave instruction to the contrary, the jury returned a verdict accordingly and the case was taken to the supreme court, where the instruction was sustained, Justice Sherwin holding that animals have sufficient reasoning power to enable them to recognize the approach of danger and take measures to avoid it At the best, the business of railroading is extra-hazardous, and 'the utmost safeguards are none too many. As in all other cases, these utmost safe guards would be the cheapest in the end, saving money to the companies them selves that take the precautions against accident. Tnn Omaha High school exhibit at the Paris exposition was received in Omaha again last night and this morning it was opened in the rooms of Superintendent Pearse in the city hall, where it will be kept open for inspection. Since it left Paris it has been on exhibition for two months in Manchester, England, the authorities of which city paid the ex pense of its shipment from Paris to Man chester and maintained the exhibit there for the enlightenment of pedagogues of the merry old kingdom, who have evi dently begun to realize that they are not beyond learning something valuable in progressive school methods from Ameri can pupils. World-Herald. Bowling. Green, Kentucky was the scene of an exciting episode one night recently. Five young women of Potter college had planned to elope with five young men. The young men had assist ed four of the young ladies out of second-story windows to the ground, but while assisting the fifth one made so much noise that President Cabell was aroused, and seizing a shot gun, he began shooting at the young men, who return ed me ure. two young men were wounded, the president was unhurt The girls screamed but returned to their rooms, and the young men went away without them. J. Sterlino Morton is one of the incorporators of a crematory company, the others being citizens of Nebraska City, capital stock $10,000. The objects of the company are the maintenance of a crematory furnace and mortnary chapel and their usual adjuncts, the handling and cremating of human bodies and storing of ashes, and doing generally the business of a cremating or incinerating establishment We believe this the first organized in the state. For Tin Jocbsal. THAT MORNING TIME. BT WIS. XART BAIKD FINCH. Upon the com field's checkered floors Green columns mark the corridors. And voice of bird in song is heard From boughs of balm around as stirred. Her household song the brown thrash tells Down from the poplar's pinnacles. And fields that shine by paths of mine Do keen the notes that seem divine Tho' echoes ranrmnr of farewells. When I recall what thrills me yet Of com leaves lithe and drooping wet, gray doves moan in tender tone go like the loved who were my own Whoonce sat in those booghs and sang Sweet summer songs and gaily swung. Roamed every mom amid the com The aweetest Dirdlings ever born Whose notes dwell not my groves among. Perfume of wild rose saddens me My birds have left the threshold tree. And blae-beUs' sheen in low ravine Twixt pastore hills where grass is green Repeats the echo and the chime That made life's holiday sublime. Down in the dells her mournful bells The gray dove rings aad sadly tells Of my sweet guests that morning time. Boone, Colorado, March 24th, 1901, cssxxsoooooooooe SPRING TIME. Robins call robins in tops of trees; Doves follow doves with scarlet feet; Frolicking babies, sweeter than these. Crowd green corners where highways meet. Violets stir and arbatas wakes, Clartonia'a rosy bells unfold; Dandelion through the meadow makes A royal road with seals of gold. Helen Hunt Jackson. MraMMiNiuiiniiiiMyimjatttmg I Sooititnal jttral. 1 s i StWIIIIJIIIIIIallllllHIIlMIWalTlMlllawlllai Died, at St Mary's hospital in this city, Sunday morning, Miss Emma, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Blodgett, who reside near Duncan. About two weeks ago, she was taken sick at the depot in this city while on her way home from David City, removed to a hotel, and later to the hospital, where she died. Abscess of the liver is assign ed as the cause of her death. She also had been afflicted with grip. She was born in this county, January 13, 1870. The burial was at the cemetery near Duncan, Rev. II. T. Corey of this city conducting tho services at the family home. Miss Eva A. Walker has recently had published a piece of music "The Beklaw Waltz" which is worthy the attention of all who love the waltz time music. The piece is well connected throughout, with a beautiful melody, and is free from the usual amateur same ness and lack of purpose so character istic of much music now on the market. The waltz is creditable for any one, but when we consider that Miss Eva is but thirteen years old and that the music was really composed about a year ago, we think that Columbus should take great pride in her. Miss Eva is the daughter of Mrs. Jennie Condon Walker, and has made Columbus her home nearly all her life. The division of forestry of the U. S. department of agriculture has decided to make a thorough examination of con ditions in Nebraska this season. The valley of the Platte river from Platts mouth to Kearney, and the entire west half of the state will be the field of in vestigation. The time expected to be occupied is May 1 to July 1. It is ex pected that a wide strip of country will be investigated along with that referred to. There is no doubt but the growth of forest and other trees during the mem ory of men now living, has worked won ders for Nebraska, not alone as to the climatic conditions, but also as to fire wood, timber for building purposes and for fruit products. Let the good work go on, until all the waste places are reclaimed to the green boughs, the feathered songsters and the running brooks. An assault which may result fatally occurred six miles west of St Edward on the night of the 4th. Two ne;ghbors, farmers, Wilkinson and Wheeler, had trouble about some trine. Wilkinson, it is alleged, went to Wheeler's house in Wheeler's absence and abused the wife of tho latter. That night Wilkinson again called. Wheeler demanded an apology from Wilkinson for the insult to his wife. Hot words followed, during which Mrs. Wheeler came npon the scene with a buggy whip and struck Wilkinson across the face with it Wil kinson then took a club from his buggy and struck Mrs. Wheeler on the arm, and then turned upon Mr. Wheeler, inflicting a blow on the latter's head, which felled him to tho ground, unconscious. He then, it is charged, pounded Wheeler almost beyond recognition. Wilkinson is under arrest Wheeler is hovering between life and death. Probably the natural roads are no where else so good as in Nebraska, but even here, after a winter's use there are pretty sure to be spots that need look ing after, because it is true of a road what is true of a chain, it is only as strong as the weakest link. The load that goes to market is sized in strict accordance with the load that can be pulled through the toughest mud-hole, and if there is a choice between two or three market places of equal distance, the one that has the best roads, other things being equal, will get the business. Keep a good, central crown on the high ways, with full and free gutters at the siaes for carrying away the surplus water, and when the beaten track gets hardened, there will be little cause for complaint It has often occurred to us that a quiet word to the road overseer about some needed work would be a good neighborly way of helping every body. One night last fall the post office 6afe at Shelby was blown open by bur glars and the building set on fire, which destroyed about half of the town. The next morning Sheriff Ben arrested a strange man in our city on very suspi cious circumstances, but released the suspect about five hours later, as he could get no information from the Polk county authorities, although he phoned them a description of the man. Mr. Ren was called to the phone about midnight the following evening and requested to hold the prisoner at all hazards, but bis bird had flown. It seems that blood hounds had been procured and traced the burglar from 8helby to a livery barn in Bising City where the man whom Mr. Ben arrested had left his team that night From here the escaped bird was traced to Genoa, where he became so close pressed that he left his team and never called for it This convinced Mr. Ben that he was the guilty party and a sharp lookout has been kept by our sheriff since, as he was the only officer who had seen him. Sheriff Ben was rewarded the other day by finding this same man in jail in Columbus, where he is held on a charge of blowing open the post office safe at Humphrey. Sheriff Ben and Bert Hall fully identified him and the Polk county authorities notified who will take 'him as soon as he is released in Platte county. David City Banner. Schawl Vettf. Wm.

Chrystena Zinnecker, '00, is taking a vacation, her school being closed on account of smallpox in the district At the Teachers' meeting last Friday M. M. Rothleitner gave an able discus sion on geography teaching by means of the globe; Miss Watkins discoursed on the necessity of the map; and Miss Alice Luth had her geography class there to illustrate her method. The program was only half carried out it being so lengthy and the remainder of it was put over until next meeting. City Council. - The committee on streets and grades reported that Whitaker had used 0566 loads of water, at 400 gallons per load, 2,954,700 gallons at 8c per gallon, and that the two city wagons had used 1899 loads, 500 gallons per load, altogether making $312.3.1 worth of water, for which the committee recommended a warrant drawn on the general fund, to apply to credit of Waterworks fund maintaining account. The city will fumigate the pest house and pay $.10 for its use, or purchase the house for $150. A vote of thanks was unanimously tendered the retiring mayor, Louis Held, for his uniform fair and courteous treat ment, also to Conncilmen Gray, Lehman and Lutz. The new officers elect then took their places. Councilman Elliott was elected presi dent of the council. Mayor Rngatz then nnnounced his committees and appointments. The police are the same as under Held. City Attorney, W. M. Cornelius; Physician, C. D. Evans; Street Commissioner, Robert McCray; Water Commissioner, George Fairchild. On motion of Louis F. Phillipps, sup ported by Elliott Greisen and Niewoh ner, the city's advertising in a newspaper was let to the Telegram at ono-half legal rates. An amendment was offered by Galley and supported by Babcock direct ing the clerk to solicit bids from the several houses in the city to do the city's printing. There are about twelve applications for the position of city engineer and assistant.
