Dr. D. A. Lewis, well known to many
of onr readers as a prominent citizen and
retired physician of onr neighboring
town of Albion, died at hia home Friday
morning of paralysis, aged 51 years. He
came to Albion in 1872, and continued in
the practice of hia profession and drag
business until two years sgo. He was a
delegate to the national republican con
vention that nominated Garfield. It ia
said of him that no one waa ever too
poor for him to attend, and no weather
too asvere for him to decline a call.
Monroe has organized an agricul
tural society. The Republican says of
the first meeting: "Alfalfa was the only
topic on the program that was brought
up for discussion. Isaiah Lightnsr and
O. J. Wagner gave some of their expe
riences m seeding alfalfa. Diecingwae
better than deep plowing in preparing
the eeed bed. The young seedlings are
very tender and must have a well pul
verized but compacted soil in which to
start. Cover lightly with a harrow. Mr.
Lightner had failed in getting a perman
ent stand in wet ground."
The last attraction of the season,
concluding the winter's entertainments
under the auspices of the Columbus
High school, took place at the North
opera house Thursday evening last when
Gen. Z. T. Sweeney of Indiana delivered
hia famous lecture "The Golden Age."
Notwithstanding the inclement weather,
a large and very appreciative audience
greeted the speaker, and all whom we
heard express themselves say it waa de
cidedly the best entertainment of the
course, and a return engagement at any
time would doubtless draw a still larger
audience.
From the Norfolk News of last Wed
nesday, we gather the following concern
ing the Teachers' association for this
week's sessions, there: Local musicians
under the direction of Mrs. Beels, the
Columbus High School orchestra and the
department of music of the Wayne nor
mal school will provide the music. Miss
Jessie Maw, Lindsay, will lead in the
discussion of the educational value of
music. Miss Elizabeth Sbeehan, Co
lumbus, is to give her views on primary
reading the first four months. "The
test, its value and method of grading it,"
is the theme of W. N. Kern's address on

Last fall a contest was arranged be
tween the orders of the A. O. U. W., of
New York and Nebraska, to ascertain
which would, at the end of three months,
have secured the largest number of new
membera. The figures are now at hand
which show that the Bug Eaters won
easily over her big rival In December,
New York aeenred 415, Nebraska 468; in
January, New York 219, Nebraska 568;
in February, New York 476, Nebraska
1,216, making totals of New York 1,110,
Nebraska 252. The record of the order
of this state, in securing new members,
of February, exceeds that of the order
for anyone month since its organization.
Columbia lodge 268 of this city took a
lively interest in the contest and added
some forty names to its membership
during that time, the most of which,
however, were received too late to be
counted in the contest. Nebraska comes
ont ahead, all the same, by 1.142. Hor-
