. A Case Lincoln Would Hot Take.
All clients knew that with "Old Abo"
ns their lawj'cr, they would win their
case if it was fair; if not, that it was a
wasto of timo to take it to him. After
listening some timo one day to a would
bo client's statement, with his oyes on
tho ceiling, ho swung suddenly round in
his chair and exclaimed:
"Well, you have a pretty good case in
technical law, but a pretty bad one in
" equity nnd justice. Yon'll have to get
some other fellow to win this case for
you. I couldn't do it. AH tho time,
while standing talking to that jury, I'd
be thinking 'Lincoln, You're a liar,' and
I believo I should forget myself and say
it out loud." Success.
Nebraska The Garden Spot.
Nebraska is certainly fast coining the
garden spot of tho universe. The flow
ore, the trees and the birds are more
beautiful thau they ever were before,
while the fields of waving grain speak
loudly of prosperity and the farmer, like
the merchant, wears a smile of satisfac
tion, peace and contentment And well
might the Nebraskan feel glad amid
such surroundings. Who would not,
with tho crop prospects as promising
and bright as they are? Take the statis
tics of Nebraska for last year and they
show a surplus production of cattle,
hogs and their products to the amount
of $117,621,751, whilo tho surplus of
poultry, eggs and butter amounted to
$7,458,579. This explains that smile of
contentment and why Nebraska is the
garden spot of the universe. Hastings

The Baccalaureate sermon Sunday
evening at the Congregational church
by tho pastor, Rev. Munro, was a model
in every respect, and listened to by a
very attentive audience, from start to
finish, almost every sentence being fit
foundation for a lengthy discourse.
Although the house was crowded, yon
pught to have been there. The first sen
tences were: "God's laws' are eternal.
They have always been. They are his
ways of doing things, which do not
change." The music program was fit
companion to the sermon, the choir being
composed of Mrs. Boeder, Mrs. Geer,
Mrs. Gleaaop and Miss Galley; Mr. Geer
and Mr. Hickok. '-Lift thine Eyes," a
trio, was followed by a 6olo by Mrs.
Boeder, whose excellently-trained voice
' had not lately been heard by the audi
ence, in the solo, "Great Spirit, hear my
- Prayer." Besides a hymn by the entire
choir, there was a quartette, "Abide with
jfe," as arranged by Macy, in which the
voices of the ladies blended with remark
able sweetness sod power, having a very
jnsliseaUs effect upoa the audience. It

Class of 1901.
Friday evening the opera house was
the scene of the graduation ot nine
beautiful young ladies and one popular
young man, who on this occasion was the
envy of every masculino heart in tho
large audience.
The hall was very prettily decorated in
the class colors, yellow, pink and blue,
the stage resembling a fairy bower.
Palms and exotics wero tastily arranged
upon it and a canopy built in front mado
it look much larger. In the class colors,
across the front was tho class motto,
4Auf Wiederschen." (till we meet
again) and class of 1901.
Who can describe the beauties of
Platte county's young ladies clothed in
purest white? We feel that the task is
oeyond us. As for the happy young
man, well every ono knows that Peter
would grace any position in which he
might be placed.
Whilo the High school orchestra
played the opening selection tho class,
followod by Prof. I. II. Britell and the
members of tho school board took their
places on the stage.
After tho invocation by Rev. Chas. A.
Weed. Miss Isabella Lisco delivered the
first oration. Her subject, ''Ideal Edu
cation of tho Amorican Girl," showed
much study on the part of the young
lady, and was skillfully handled. She
mentioned tho many branches in which
the education of tho American girl
could bo directed, and tho advantages of
each, referring in particular to the in
creased interest manifested in cooking
schools and other manual training in
stitutions. Miss Bucher's description of tho "Pio
neer" showed much caro in preparation,
and was rendered in a masterly manner.
She described the westward path of that
hardy class of men, the perils thoy en
countered and tho benefits tho present
generation are' enjoying as tho fruits
of their endeavors.
Miss Blanche Niewohner in "Ameri
can Women" showed tho advantages of
our fair sex over tho ladies of other
lands, tho opportunities sho has for ad
vancement, her independence, courage.
and nobility of character. Sho men
tioned the folly of some few (fortunately
very few) of our fair onos who seek to
oxchango wealth for a foreign title and
enter into a marriago which has sel
dom proved happy.
Miss Delia Newman gave a description
of that well-known figure in our history,
Abraham Lincoln. She pictured in a
very interesting manner, his kindness of
character, his struggle for au education.
his oratorical ability and his tragic and
untimely death. While such gentle and
appreciative orators as Miss Newman
delineate tho character of our great
men of the nation forgetting their good
deeds.
The piano solo by Miss Marjorio Wil
liams, Godard's Second Mazurky, was a
pretty diversion from tho rest of tho
program. It was easily seen that Miss
Williams' interpolation and rendition
wore fine. It was with a feeling of re
gret that the audience heard the last
note struck and saw her leavo the piano.
Miss Edna Beardsley was the unfortu
nate member of the class in being unable
to finish her part of the program, through
an attack of coughing. All could see,
however, that her subject, "Trifles," had
been carefully prepared, and, but for her
misfortune, would have been excellently
given.
Miss Bosina Stauffer's oration, "Evolu
tion," was the most scientific on the
program, and marked her a scholar in
the highest sense of the word. She gave
the theories of the greatest scientists
concerning the evolution of the planetary
systems and the animal kingdom. Those
in the audience of a scientific turn of
mind were greatly interested in the
skillful way in which she treated her
theme, and even those not so learned
could appreciate the great amount of
study and research required to accumu
late the facts as she had done.
Had the unfortunate Mary, Queen of
Scots, in the days of her trials so long
ago', been blessed with as loyal defenders
as Miss Petite Martyn, no doubt the
history of that unfortunate queen would
have been very different. While Miss
Martyn did not endeavor to show the
subject of her oration as faultless she
created a feeling of sympathy for her as
a queen, and showed that in many cases
she had been more sinned against than
sinning.
To Peter Daffy was granted as class
seer, a peep into the future of the ten
members of his class. He mentioned in
his humorous way as an introduction to
bis prophecy the struggles of the class
during their years in school and depicted
forts to acquire the art of pencil sharp

ening. He painted a cheery picture of
tho future for each, which it is hoped
will be fully realized. He spoke of the
city thirty years hence, when the audi
torium, built during the reign of Henry
Ragatz, and tho time when Israel Gluck
convinced the Union Pacific that its
freight depot f honld bo placed near the
cemetery and Murry street opened.
Peter's friends both in and out of tho
class think that instead of editing a
back-woods newspaper, as he predicted,
ho will rank with Bill Nye, Mark Twain
and other great American humorists.
Tho valedictorian, Miss Florence Kra
mer, was the last of the graduates to
occupy the platform. She spoke feel
ingly of the happy school days now over
for them; of the love and respect they
felt for their teachers and for each other;
of their gratitude to the school board
and citizens, who had made possible the
high standard of excellence reached by
the graduates of the Columbus High
school. The valedictory was brilliant
and ended all too soon to please the
listeners to tho little orator of the class
of 1901.
In a few woll-choson remarks, Prof. I.
H. Britell, acting superintendent, pre
sented the diplomas, and ten graduates
were launched upon the sea of life, to
struggle with thoso gone before with tho
hope of success as a guiding star and
well-trained minus and bright intellects
as tho motivo power to drive them on to
victory.
After the final music by tho orchestra,
presents in great numbers wero sent to
the stage as tho many armfulls carried
up by tho tishors will testify and the
stago was eoon filled with the many
friends of the class congratulating them
upon the success of their endoavors in
which The JodicxaTj heartily joins and
so closed tho most onjoyablo evening of
tho year to many of our citizens.
Alumni Beception.
Saturday evening at the Uigh school
hall was held tho annual meeting of tho
Columbus High School Alumni.
The main hall, which was beautifully
decorated and lighted, was used as a
reeoption hall and a committee consist
ing of Miss Mat. Post, Tena Zinnecker,
Madge dishing and Vera Kramer met
all tho arrivals at the doors and gave
each a hearty welcome.

Death of Frank Turner.
Wednesday morning last. May 29th,
at 5:10, after a lingering illness, Frank
Calvert Turner departed this life, the
funeral taking placo from the residence
of his brother-in-law, William Terrell,
the brief service of scripture lessons nnd
prayer being conducted by Rev. G. W.
Corey, at . o'clock Friday afternoon,
May 31st. The pall-bearers were: Ed.
Rossiter, August Schaack, John Wig
gins, G. W. Phillips. C. A. Brindley and
R. L. Rossiter, members of tho order of
A. O. U. W., of which he had been a
member, and, followed by a conconrseof
friends, among them, going as organiza
tions, being: the Spanish-American War
Vetorans, Firemen, A. O. U. W., to the
Columbus cemetery, the mortal remains
were lowered, "earth to earth, dust to
dust, ashes to ashes, awaiting tho res
urrection." Frauk Calvert Turner was the young
est son nnd child of Allen C. Turner,
and was born at Cadiz, Ohio, September
24, 18Gd. Ho came to Nebraska in 1871
with tho family, two of whom had pre
ceded. Very early in life he was called to ex
perience tho loss of as gentle, kind, just
and pationt a mother as ever blessed a
home, she departing to tho spirit world
when Frank was about five years old.
Tho young lad was nicknamed
"Judge," presumably bocause his yonth
fnl character suggested to some of his
men acquaintances (of whom ho had
many), tho nature traits of his father,
and the name was an appropriate one.
At times duriug his youth ho began to
learn the printer's trade in The JouunaIi
oftico.
When tho years came that tho dispo
sition to see tho world was strong with
in, tho knowledge acquired served him
well, and in city offices whero equip
ment was more complete ho came to
know himsolf better and to observotho
things of lifo after a different fashion
His travel in tho western part of the
United States whero ho mot many old
friends; worked at his trade; served in
ono place as doputy city marshal; visited-,
was probably one of the most im
portant periods of his life, furnishing
him food for reflection. His inner lifo
was that of tho genius iu this that what
he knew he gathered mainly from actual
contact with tho nature, of things at first
hand. If ho was to do anything, ho
must understand it for himself and
thoroughly. Ho would be sure, if he
could, and in his specialty, that of
printer, he certainly was excellent. But
there aro degrees of excellence, and the
printing office is no exception.
Human lifo itself is a journey, and
naturally the desire is to press forward;
more and more, wo all learn that Love
rules, and Wisdom guides the way,
through knowledge to duty. The world
nized by us as shadow of tho real, which
is far within.
When the Philippine Insurrection
arose in the far-off horizon, after the
Spanish-American war had aroused this
land, Frank regarded it his duty to
enlist in the service of his country. He
kept his own council, becamo a member i
of Co. K, First Nebraska Volunteers,
enlisting for two years or during the war,
and went from here with the "Recruits"
June 24, 1898. His discharge, received
at The Presidio, San Francisco, Califor
nia, August 23, 1899, shows that in his
military record he had been a member of
the Sixth expeditionary forces in the
Philippine Insurrection, from February
4, 1899, until the capture of San Fer
nando, May G, 1899; wounds, none; ser
vices, honest and faithful."
Ho served, by request, as a member of
the Regimental band, but when the call
came to arms he laid down the drnm,
and when inquired as to the reason, he
simply answered that he had enlisted to
fight. He was with his regiment, which
became famous under the effective lead
ership of Colonel Stotsenberg, in tho
engagements at McLoud's Hill and
Block House No. 7, February 4 and 5,
respectively; the Capture of the Water
works the next day; Maraquina Road,
February 17; Santolan, February 20;
Santolan Biver, February 22; Marquina
Road, March C; San Francisco del Monte,
March 25; at Polo, Marilao and Gui
guinta, March 2G,27 and 29, respectively;
in tho trenches between Guiguinto and
Malolos, and at Malolos the next two
days; at Quinga, Quinga River and
Calumpit, April 23, 24 and 25 respect
ively; and at Santo Thomas May 4.
Returning home, he resumed work at
The JoubxaIi office, and nobly struggled
to retrain the strength which had bean sn
I severely taxed, but at last he quit work
MAKJOEIE WILLTAAIS,
iu tho early spring, and after a time went
to the home of Mr. nnd Mrs. William
Terrell.
He had the best of medical advice und
attention during the various stages of
his illness, nud the care of relatives and
the solicitude of friends were unceasing
during all tho latter illness.
His sisters living are: Mrs. Prisciila
Ueorge of Perry, Iowa; Mrs. Bettie Jen
kins and Mrs. Mary Terrell of this city;
brothers M. K., J. A. aud G. W. Turner
of this city.
Tho beautiful sentiments of the poet
Longfellow in his "Psalm of Life" are
true for us all:
"Life Ureal! Lifo U earnest!
Ami the i;rr.o is not iU goal;
Dust thou art, t duxt returner!.
Was not written of the pool."
Death of Mrs. Oottschalk.
Another of Platto county's pioneer
settlers has gone to the majority.
Mrs. Fred Gottschalk died Friday,
May 31, at 10:45, a. m., after an illness
the closing weeks of which were passed
at St. Mary's hospital.
Mrs. Margaratha Gottschalk was born
in Bavaria, December 28, 1820. She
came to Chicago, Illinois, in 1854, and
to Columbus in 1858, since which time
she has made this her home. Juno 5,
1858, sho married Adam Dank, who died
in 1800. August 20, 1801, she married
Fred Gottschalk nud to them were born
threo children, one son and daughter
dying in youth, tho other son being L.
F. Gottschalk, who with the husband,
survives her.
Tho funeral services were held at the
Gorman Ind. Protestant church, Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, by the pastor.
Rev. Neumarker, who spoke in German.
Tho services were impressive and a
large number of symathizing friends
wero present.
The pall-bearers wore: Fred Brod
fuehrer, Louis Phillipps, George Berney,
Nieh Blaser, L. Jaoggi and Gus G.
Becher.
Mrs. Gottschalk came to this country
in tho pioneer days when privations and
hardships meant moro thnn the younger
generations can appreciate. She had
the peculiar strength of character to
withstand any troubles that might arise,
and always come out victorious on the
sido of right. Fow of tho older people
in the county, but know that she had
tho mental ability and the courage to
maintain right against any assailant.
Sho was porfectly fearless, where a ques
tion of right and wrong was concerned.
Mrs. Gottschalk had no desire for public
prominence, and her whole life was de
voted untiringly to homo interests and
homo ties.
Arter tho sovenly-fivo years of her
earthly career, and for the last time on
earth, her friends Sunday afternoon,
viowed her countenance, it seemed
touched as if with tha poet, the depart
ing soul wero eaying:
Hark! they whisper: angels say,
"Sister spirit, come awa J"
Whnt is this absorbs me quite
Steals my senses, thuts my sight,
Drowns my epirit, draws my breath?
Tell me, my soul, can this be death?

Osteopathy, the Drnglets Science.
It is a means of curing diseases, with
out the use of drugs or the knife, by
using the hands to remove any pressure
on the nerves, arteries and veins, so that
the' circulation of the fluids and gases of
the body will be restored to a normal
condition. It is based on a knowledge
of the anatomy, physiology and chem
istry of the human body. Osteopathy
cures all curable diseases.
The suspensory treatment cures curva
tures and all abnormalities of the spine,
when all other methods fail. This device
is something new, and we would be glad
to have those who have spinal troubles
call and investigate.this new treatment.
Consultation and examination free.

Why Not Go to California?
Here's a suggestion for a holiday trip.
Buy a round-trip ticket to San Fran
cisco at the reduced rates which will bo
in effect on account of the Epworth
League meeting in that city in July go
west by way of Denver nud Salt Lake
City, past all the glorious mountain
scenery of Colorado and Utah - spend a
few weeks in California come home via
Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and
Billings, Mont.
If you have time, stop off nnd see Yel
lowstone Park. A month is stifiieient for
tho entire trip. In that time you will
6ee more than most people Ho in u life
time. And the expense is almost unbelieva
bly small.
Writo for a copy of the Burlington's
Epworth League folder, which tells all
about it gives you just the information
yon need about rates, routes, through
cars, scenery, stop-overs, etc.
