The 60-foot wooden, bridge on the Union Pacific one and n half miles esst of Schuyler was so badly damaged by fire Friday last that it waa considered unsafe for the passsgeof trains, and thia condition continued for nine hours, traiaa going round in the meantime on available routes. Conductor Murphy was the first to notice the burning bridge. The supposition is that a spark from some passing train had found lodging and foal in the bridge. Peter Duty, graduate of the last year's High school, haa written a story for the lsst Beflector, "How our lecture was made .a success," which deserves more than n psssing thought. The story is simply the incidents around the form ing of the first lectare coarse and of the first entertainment in Columbue, and although no names are mentioned, those scqnsinted in the High echool easily recognise each person. The merit in the composition ie not ao much in the sub jeet sain how Mr. Duffy has handled it. To write an interesting story about the com mon occurrences of life ie the sign of genius, and Mr. Duffy haa made thia abort story interesting from first to last. Frank rates went down to Omaha Tuesday and purchased through an agent in that city 100 acres of land in Canada. Dr. Hewit has also purchased a couple of sections of land there and a whole lot of people around BeUwood now have the Canada fever. Some of the widows are even talking of emigrating. . . A great many farmers scattered around the country are now winning they had bred more horses a few years ago when the prices were low.

The Cadis, (Ohio,) Sentinel haa this to say of a subject that amy interest some Jovuxak readers: The eapreme eourt of Ohio recently handed down an opinion denying the right of anybody to erect telephone or light phones in front of a residence without the permission of owner. Thia ia exactly the reverse of the holding of the circuit court of thie circuit, aad exactly ia accord with the deeiaion of Jadge Muuafield in. each esses.

There is always opportunity for the exercise of a aian's genius. We had even supposed that the street-crossing west of Niewobner's on Olive street was in tended by the authorities to show those who pay the city'a bills what might be done at every crossing, for the price available in the treasury, but when we came to talk with Jacob Glur, commend ing his work for all the good apparent, viz: the deep foundation of .brick-bate, pounded down; the strong, thick layer of cement, which with proper time given to eat, will iaeresse iB solidity ss time goes by, we found that hie ideal mental picture of a crossing, costing leae per haps, considering all things, than the actual one under our feet, waa a long stride forward.

The word "butter" mesne one thing, aad "oleo" quite another. There ia a growing: tendency the world over to call thinga by their right names, and thus, the fewest number of confiding people will be injured from tales appearances.

S eaw Three Doors East of Columbus State Bank. -bb We quote the following from the Spokane (Washington) Beview, giving it in full because it gives interesting items concerning n former Nebraska boy, in whose welfare many Joxtbsxl readers are interested: "W. H. Burtt has declined the position of assistant postmaster ten dered him by Postmaster Hartson, and Byron Dieffenbach, the incumbent, will be retained indefinitely, probably thmnrhnnt Mr. Hartaon's term of office. 'Mr. Burtt decided to retain his position with the Washington Water Poer com pany,' said Postmaster Hartson yester day, and I have decided to retain Mr. Dieffenbach for an indefinite period.' It ia generally understood in postoffice circles that Mr. Dieffenbach's reappoint ment is a permanent one, and he waa the recipient of many congratulations. He is regarded aa an exceedingly competent man, and among those who are highly pleased are the postal inspectors. A great part of the detailed work of the office devolves upon the assistant post master. When Postmaster Temple's office waa checked np recently, prior to Mr. Hartaon's assuming charge, the accounts of the office, which were largely under Mr. Dieffenbach's supervision checked to the cent. The inspectors who checked up the office say that it was one of the best conducted in the United States, and that the credit ia due not only to Mr. Temple, but to Mr. Dieffen bach aa well. Mr. Dieffenbach waa appointed by Mr. Temple in October, 1899, to succeed J. F. Leghorn. Mr. Dieffenbach waa formerly in the railway mail service, and haa been familiar with postal Blatters nearly all his life." Thk Jocusai. thinks that Spencer's cartoon take-off representing the meet ing of the State Press sasociation at Lincoln Tueeday of last week shows artistic ability of a rare order. The length of the cartoon, eight inches, presents about one-third the night of the representative editor, whose hat bend haa on its front in plain view, the editorial "We" badge on the left breast " 'We Nebraska Press Association." We don't know of any just such a look ing editor, and we are confident that in the pegee of our scrap-book there is none such, in all particulars. He is not a dude; he ia careless of his dress, and wears a brood-brimmed hat,as if to say "you maycoasider me a Quaker or a cow-boy, just aa you will, but play the game fair, and I will stay with you; at the best or wont, this game of life which you and I are honestly striving to play to the beat of our ability, is intense ly interesting, and ia aa a school for us, out of the seeming wildneas of facta and fsnries, to think our way to tha general principles, which alone are, after all, of real worth." A aabordiaate place of the cartoon ia given to President Maapia with "Some thinga I got next to in the Bible," sad "Pomea I have writ." The originality, the personality of the artist appear in some other touches discernible that, aomewhet rasambliag copyright, it mat least courtesy to act reemara: apoa.
