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 Tribune- HfmMMnMiwiiimimiHMHHiuiiiraifA CimiHiiiimiuuiiiiiiiiHiuiiiiiniiiuuiu 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.

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 High School TETEi: 1'.

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. Pupils from the classes of '87, 'S3, "91, '9;j, '91, '95, '9fi, W, TO, 1, 1900, 1901, were in attendance. Tho meeting was opened with a selec tion by tho High school orchestra, after which tho nomination for officers for the ensuing year wero in order. Peter P. Duffy was elected president; Mies Lois L. Early secretary, and Fred. A. Saffron treasurer. Gu3. Becher, jr., presided at tho meet ing and Mat. Post was chosen secretary, pro tern. Gus.

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? InHemoriam. RESOLUTIONS.

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.

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. J.
