A toknado did considerable damage
early Tuesday morning of last week near
Larchwood, Iowa. Edward Ugland's
house was wrecked and he and his chil
dren were carried some distance and
landed in a wheat field, bruised, but
otherwise uninjured. The other mem
bers of his family were unhurt Near
Lester, some distance east, a boy was
killed and several people were badly
injured. Many buildings and much farm
property were destroyed.
In his timely information to the pub
lic in regard to his attitude towards a
third term. President McKinley, as he
invariably does, has given evidence of
his strong love of country; his desire to
serve his fellow-citizens faithfully to the
best of bis ability, and to divest the con
sideration of grave public questions, and
the solution of national problems from
eventhe suspicion of a personal bias so
far a he is concerned. It was what was
to be expected of him.
Axdbew Roskwateb of Omaha has
plaas for two new power plants and has
fled applications for an appropriation of
water to run them, with the secretary of
irrigation. The Omaha plant, as it is
called, is to be situated in Sarpy county
Bear a large bend in the Platte river.
The Fremont plant will cost $3,200,000.
The dam $1,000,000, the canal $1,000,000,
the machinery $1,000,000 and the build
ings $200,000. The water is to be taken
from the south side of the Platte river
wast of the town of Sogers. The reser
voir and works of the Fremont plant will
be placed on Otoe creek five miles south
of Fremont. The power will be suffi
cient to Omaha, Fremont, Lincoln and
other cities it desired. It is not expect
ed that both plants will be built. East

The History f English Literature.
The book is divided Into ten chapters,
each representing an age. Beginning
with the first piece of English literature,
through the periods of the twentieth
century:
The first age represents the growtn
and change of literature, "From 449, A.
D., to the Norman conquest, 1066."
The second; "From the Norman con
onaaL 1066. to Chaucer's death, 1400."
The third: "From
a uTC.. PlnnAAPf(l flAfittl-
VUuUWa ww
1400. to the accession
of Elizabeth,
1558."
The fourth; "The literature of the age
of Elizabeth."
The fifth; "The Puritan Age."
The sixth; "The age of the restora
tion, 16G0-1700."
The seventh; "The first forty years of
the eighteenth century, 1700-1740."
The eighth; "The second forty years
of the eighteenth century, 1740 1780." .
The ninth; "The age of romanticism,
1780-1837."
Tenth; "The Victorian age, 1837."
The book gives special attention to
Wycliff, Chaucer, Tyndale, Sidney,
Bacon, Spencer, Shakespere, Jonson,
Milton, Dryden, Bunyan, Swift, Addi
son, Pope, Goldsmith, DeFoe, Richard
son, Fielding, Gibbon, Burke, Samuel
Johnson, Cowper, Burns, Scott, Jane
Austen, Wordsworth, Macauley, Carlyle,
Ruskin, Arnold, DeQuincy, Dickens,
Thackeray.George Eliot, Browning and
Tennyson. There is a good half tone
nurture, a short biography and a brief
review of the principal works of each of
the preceding writers.
Anyone who is interested in a literary
or historical course, should read "The
History of English Literature," not only
to learn the effect of different works on
the age, but to become interested in the
biographies of those writers and to
learn the circumstances through which
they lived.
At the close of each chapter is a sum
mary, required readings, and works for
consultation and further study of the
foregoing chapter.
The author of the book shows a close
study of literary and historical works in
his description of the literature of
others.
The History of English Literature
should be placed in the course of all
higher institutions of learning, and
should be read by all persons interested
in writers.
The book contains a "literary map"
showing-by dot and name the residence
location of the various literary celebri
ties, thus at a glance making familiar to
the eye, the home nests of some of the
earth's best song-birds.
In the writing of this book by Reuben
Post Halleck, M. A. (Yale), as "a concise
and interesting text-book of the history
and development of English literature;"
the auther has furnished to the general
public, as well as to schools, colleges and
universities, a book which has no equal
all things considered.
The publishers, the American Book
Company, have done their part admir
ably in placing the jewels of thought in
so handsome a setting. In every parti
cular of the book-maker's art, this edi
tion is a model.
William Jackson of Wabash, Indiana,
railroad engineer, in a moment's time,
condensed the practical wisdom of his
calling into an act that doubtless saved
a score of lives. Through no fault of his,
his engine was within 300 feet of another
coming towards him. He knew that a
collision was inevitable, but he did his
duty, stuck to his post, and, although
the great engines were twisted and
wrecked, only a few passengers were
hurt, none of them seriously. So runs
the account of the collision on the Big
Four near Jonesborough, Ind., recently,
and "Bill" Jackson was voted a hero by
the passengers, who greeted each other
in fervent hand-shakes after the danger.
The big, grimy man, doubtless, in the
crisis, was conscious of no unusual feel
ing except that the sense of duty was
quickened and intensified by the fact
that the lives of others besides his own,
his wife and babe, were in dire peril
Among the high words in the language
of men is "duty," and it properly sym
bolizes all that is known of good and
truth, concentrated in the successive
acts that make up the common, every
day occurrences of life, and "Bill" Jack
son, the big, grimy engineer of Wabash,
is one of the tens of thousands who are
doing duty every day of their lives,
faithfulness with them being as natural
as to breathe.
Mayob Tom Johnson of Cleveland,
Ohio, surely has some of the elements of
a good executive officer, and including
the courage of his convictions. He ap
plied to a judge of court for a writ of
mandamus compelling some eight or
nine county auditors sitting as a rail
road tax assessment board, to call in
railway officials to testify as to the true
value of their properties. Johnson de
clares that thus far they have been as
sessed at from 12 to 18 per cent of their
value, while the smaller property owners
in Cleveland have been taxed at the
rate of 60 per cent or more; he averred
in his petition that the "auditors were
corruptly influenced by favors to them
by the railroad companies to influence
their decision, and avoid the making of
true and correct appraisements. If it
shall be as it now seems, the corporations
will find a foeman worthy of their steel,
and the city of Cleveland a courageous
friend of the people. Time is a character-tester.

Before patronizing any traveling
fakir ask yourself the following list of
questions: Did he sit up with yon
when you were sick? When your barn
burned did his name appear on the list
of your neighbors who brought you a
new wagon? Was he one of the pall
bearers when -death came to your home?
Did he carry you on his back when yon
were out of work so long five years ago?
Does he pay taxes to support the
schools of the town? Will he work for
our own town early and late against
every other town on the face of the
earth? If he will not respond to all
these requirements he certainly is not
entitled to as much consideration as our
local business men, for they help you in
these particulars and more. Norfolk
News.
The Albion News suggests a rest
room for country patrons, and says that
the merchants of a town might unite and
provide and maintain such a room. The
Norfolk News says: "It would be a
great convenience and comfort for out-of-town
shoppers to have such a room at
their disposal and the extent of the con
veniences might only be limited by the
funds at the disposal of the promoters.
An attendant to care for children might
be in line with other suggestions. The
men can ordinarily take care of them
selves, but women and children are some
times at very much of a disadvantage
when they have no intimate acquain
tances in town or no place to stay except
at the stores," The Woman's club of
Columbus has been interested in a move
ment similar to the above and may some
day carry it out "
A conference was held in Omaha last
week of representatives of all the cream
ery companies operating in Nebraska
north of the Platte river, whereby a new
corporation may decide to open in Omaha
a creamery with a capacity of 3,000,000
pounds of butter per year, of an estimat
ed value of $600,000. Informal eleotion
of officers were made at which J. J.King
of West Point was elected president and
F. N. Stevenson of this city was elected
manager. The proposed plans are that
each of the constituent companies will
have one member on the board of direc
tors. The cream would all be shipped
to Omaha where it would be churned,
but collecting and skimming stations
would be established throughout the
state. The Omaha creamery would be
erected at a cost of $20,000 exclusive of
buildings. The intention is not to
advance the price of milk or butter but
to reduce the cost of production of the
same. Paul Hagel and F. N. Stevenson
were in attendance at the meeting but
do not look on the plans now made as
definite.
One of our subscribers who is espe
cially interested in the country road
question, because he has a good many to
travel over, has handed us a copy of the
Burlington (Iowa) Hawk-Eye which con
tains a lengthy article about country
roads, of which we quote parts: "The
Hawk-Eye is pleased to record the fact
that a great deal of road work has been
done this spring and is now being done,
instead of putting it off until autumn,
when the rains and the approach of freez
ing weather make good work impossible.
County and local road supervisors
report that the rural mail service is help
ing wonderfully to increase public interest-in
road work. A much larger amount
of volunteer work is obtainable than
formerly. Another factor is the force of
example. It is a very narrow minded
man who will stay at home and refuse a
helping hand when nearly all his neigh
bore are rallying to secure good roads.
Scattered here and there through
the county are negligent road super
visors. They need prodding. For what
were they elected? None of them would
employ a hand on his farm if the man
neglected the work as the road super
visor of that class neglects his official
work. Just now. the road super
visor is one of the most valuable officials
in the whole republic" In connection
with this article it might be well to tell
of the excellent road the supervisors are

Haafea Hhuelf I
About 6 o'clock Saturday morning one j
of the inmates of the county poor farm j
five miles north of Columbus, discovered
the body of Rudolph Guttwald, another
inmate, hanging from the limb of a tree
in the rear of the house. The overaeer,
Mr. James, was immediately notified and
he in turn notified the coroner.
Rudolph Guttwald was born in Ger
many about 57 years ago and has been
a county charge for a year and a half.
For several months he has been despond
ent and has often threatened to take his
life, so of ten in fact that little attention
was paid to him.
Some time between 2 and 4 a. m. Sat
urday he was heard to leave his room and
it i9 thought that he hung himself at
that time.
Very little is known of his antecedents
but he had told the overseer that his
wife had deserted him in Pennsylvania
a number of years ago. taking with her
their two children, a boy and girl. He
also said he had a sister living in either
Buffalo or Custer ennnty, who had turn
ed him out without money or friends
after he had worked for her husband
several months.
He had evidently made careful prep
aration for his death for he had put on
clean underclothing and a white shirt,
while in his pocket was a prayer book
and on his wrist was wound a crucifix
and beads.
Coroner Metz came down from Hum
phrey Saturday noon and empanneled'a

Wednesday evening Prof. Davisson,
who is at the head of the Agricultural
department of the State University, lec
tured on "Ideal Education." He was
listened to with great interest through
out Prof. E. E. Blackraan, who is employed
by the State Historical society in gath
ering literature and relics for the state,
lectured on the literature of the Indians.
He told several legends that are typical
of their life and habits. Prof. Blackman
is anticipating a trip to our vicinity in
about two months with Prof. Brewer, of
Minnesota, who has a world-wide repu
tation as the scientist who discovered
the source of the Mississippi, the Mis
souri and Yellowstono Park. The two
will make a trip across the state in the
interest of the history of the 6ame.
Thursday evening Sup't Leavy invited
the teachers and their friends to his
home where a lawn party was enjoyed in
sports and conversation. Refreshments
were served to all present and the super
intendent was entirely taken by surprise
when he was presented with a handsome
gold-headed cane, a gift from the
teachers.
There will be a prize of about $75
given at the next State teachers associa
tion for the best speller. At each of the
county institutes a list of 100 words have
been given as an examination, the best
speller from each county to contest at
the State association. Miss Mable Por-
terfield of Fullerton, a teacher in Cres
ton, was the successful contestant in our
county, spelling 96 of the 100 words.
Prof. John Foley of Creston was elect
ed president of the association and Miss
Mary Cronin of Platte Center secretary.
The meetings for the coming winter will
be held in Creston, Lindsay and Platte 4

settlers of Platte Center, having come
here in March, 1883. He was the first

He also kept a furniture store here for a

men, whose example was worthy of
emulation, and one whose place is most
difficult to fill. Be it

resolutions be left with the county
superintendent and a copy of the same

Why lot 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 be
in effect on account of the Epworth
League meeting in that city in July go
west by way of Denver and 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 and see Yel
lowstone Park. A month is sufficient for
the entire trip. In that time you will
see more than most people do in a life
time. And the expense is almost unbelieva
bly small.
Write for a copy of the Burlington's
Epworth League folder, which tells all
about it gives you just the information
you need about rates, routes, through
cars, scenery, stop-overs, etc.
