We learn through reliable authority
of one man in Nebraska who last year
realized $90 an acre from his alfalfa crop
by having an extra yield and by receiv
ing an extra price for the hay and seed.
It is a possibility these days for a man
to buy 160 acres of land on time, seed it
to alfalfa, move to town, send his chil
dren to school, carefully harvest and
look after his crop of hay and seed, live
well and after ten years find himself the
father of an educated family of children
and the Bole owner of the land which he
purchased with double its value. Cedar

Lightning struck the residence of
William Ragatz on Fourteenth street
Friday morning about 5 o'clock, starting
at the northwest corner near the foun

into the ground at the southwest corner,
tearing off boards and breaking out
bricks in the foundation. Mr. and Mrs.
Ragatz were slightly stunned by the
shock. The family dog was lying near

J. B. Carne, of Lincoln, state super
intendent of the anti-saloon league is in

union meeting of the Methodist, Baptist,
Congregational and Presbyterian
churches in the Methodist church Sun
day evening in the interest of the league,
telling of its objects and aims. Monday
evening he gave a lecture in the Con
gregational church his subject being "A

is to see that the Slocum law is obeyed.
The largest real estate deal ever con
summated in the county, or perhaps the
state, has recently been closed. It was
the holdings of Samuel Allerton between
here and Cedar Rapids consisting of
about 10,000 acres. It was bought by a
syndicate represented by Mr. McKillip
of Humphrey. When this land is subdi
vided into small holdings, as it is pro
posed to do, it will be a great benefit to
the county. It will greatly increase the
population and taxable property, and
benefit the trade of all the towns in the
south half of the county. Albion News.
The Columbus Edict, as previously
announced, made its appearance Satur
day last, Messrs. Ewing & Walker pro
prietors. It is a six-column quarto in
size, four pages of which are printed in
Columbus, republican in politics and
starts out with a fair share of advertising
patronage. A cartoon on the first page
by Victor Schober shows commendable
work for that young artist. As the new
paper "favors any measure tending to
develop Columbus and Platte county,"
The Journal welcomes it as a co-laborer
and has none but best wishes for its
success.

George Gould was tried before the
county judge at David City Monday on
a charge of being accessory before the
fact of issuing a large amount of forged
paper whereby the Bellwood bank was
wrecked last January. Judge Skiles
said: The fact of his having told de
positors of the bank that it was sound
and safe was aiding and abetting A. H.
Gould in the crooked work. No fair
minded man can come to anyconclusion
other than that all of the Goulds were
implicated in the issuance of forged
notes and mortgages." Gould will
answer to the district court.
On Monday afternoon the Union
Pacific brought from the west the
famous Ninth Infantry, U. S. A., return
ing from the Philippines. The train was
composed of two sections of a large num
ber of coaches each. The regiment has
seen hard service both in China and the
islands, and to a Journal reporter the
men looked like they were trained down
equal to any amount of work. The reg
iment are enroute to Fort Madison, New
York. Just a few years ago they passed
through here on their way west high
spirited, full of frolic and quite inex
perienced, but on their return were well
behaved and a quiet lot of soldiers.
During the past week the following
divorce cases were filed in the district
court: Ella Herring va Herman Her
ring; Eyda M. Legg vs. Wm. J. Legg;
Anna Livingston vs. Leo Livingston.
Judge Grimison held a short term of
court last Tuesday and Wednesday. In
the divorce case of Isis Lewis vs. George
Lewis, in which she asked for temporary
alimony,-the judge ordered defendant to
pay $50 down and $20 each month until
the case is settled. An unusual case in
court was the request of E. M. Carlson
to quiet the title to 40 acres of his farm
of which he has held possession for sev
eral years. The judge granted his
request.
John Umland, the Union Pacific
machinist at this place, had orders from
headquarters of the union at Omaha to
go out on a strike at 10 o'clock Monday
morning. The same order was given to
all machinists, their helpers, and the
boiler makers all along the line. Mr.
Umland is the only machinist here and
he and his helper, Mike Kukula, both
quit their work as ordered. The latter
is not a member of the union but will
receive the benefits of that organization
by complying with their orders. Mr.
Umland came here about six months
ago, taking the place of Mr. Ruffner.
He has a family, and his wages have
been from $100 to $120 a month, with
eight hours for a day's work.
The Madison Chronicle devoted a
half column to the High school orchestra
concert given in that city hut Tuesday.
We are unable to quote in full but we
clip the following: "Tuesday evening's
concert given by the Columbus High
school orchestra, under directorship of
Prof. E. A. Garlichs, was all that was
expected and more. It was a genuine
musical treat from the first number to
the finish. The hearty applause and
many recalls was evidence that the audi
ence appreciated the work of the splen
did band of young musicians. The affair
was a success in every particular and all
who attended the concert will hope to
have the pleasure of hearing this splen
did aggregation of musicians again.
Not one of the young people from
Columbus who took part in the program
have been under instructions over three
years, which speaks volumes for Mr. Gar
lichs as an instructor."

J. C. Echols received a letter Mon
day from Senator Millard stating that
the location of the postoffice had been
settled in favor of the Echols site, but as
yet Mr. Echols has had no official
announcement from government head
quarters. A description of the possible
new location will be interesting to our
readers however. The building is the
east half of the double store structure
being erected south of Frankfort park.
Elliott & Speice have the west room and
the Echols building is the east half, with
a stairway leading to the second story
between the two. Elliott & Speice will
occupy the front of their down stair
room for their office, while twenty feet
off the rear will be connected with the
Echols room by a large opening for the
use of the postoffice force. The size of
the two buildings will be 44x60 feet, with
north front. Upstairs there will be four
suites of rooms for office use, two rooms
in each suite. The building will be
steam-heated throughout, and will have
a dark red pressed brick front with gray
stone trimmings. C. J. Scott has the
contract for the erection of the buildings
which will cost $7,000. James Pearsall
made the architectural designs. Should
the government accept, the Echols room
the lease will be given for five years,
beginning with October 1st.

Miles Ryan, a car repairer, was kill
ed Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock at
Beauford, Wyoming, a station about
twenty miles from Cheyenne, where he
and his helper, John Stewart, were chain
ing up two gravel cars. While at work
under the cars a train backed into them,
Stewart losing both lower limbs and his
left arm, and the wheels passing over
Ryan's left limb and entire length of
body. Stewart lived a few hours after
the accident but Ryan died in less than
a half hour. The railroad time keeper
asked Mr. Ryan if he were hurt and he
answered, "I am so sick; send for my
wife and children." A few minutes later
lie passed away. The accident seems to
have been caused out of gross careless
ness as Mr. Ryan had placed the custo
mary flag as a warning that they were
repairing the car. Miles Ryan was born
in county Limerick, Ireland, May, 1865.
Coming direct from Ireland to Colum
bus thirteen years ago, he engaged to
work for the Union Pacific in whose
employ he has been ever since. He was
married October 1st, 1891, to Mis9 Nellie
Keating who, with his four children,
survive him. The children are Joseph
aged 9 years; Rowenaaged 7; Helen aged
4 and Claire aged 2. He also leaves two
brothers, Stephen and Joseph and one
sister, Mrs. Pat Caffrey all living here,
and his aged mother who lives in Ireland.
The body was brought to his home here
Saturday morning, funeral services being
held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in the
Catholic church. Father Seraphim con
ducting the service, and also holding a
solemn requiem mass at 7:30 Monday
morning. Sunday afternoon the Modern
Woodmen lodge, of which he was a
member, attended the funeral in a body.
The Hibernian society of which he was
a former member also attended the ser
vices at the church. The pall-bearers
were G. W. Phillips, Jerry Carrig, James
Haney, M. Coetello, Thomas Wade and
L. H. Leavy. Mr. Ryan had been trans
ferred to Cheyenne about a year ago and
not knowing that he would be located
there permanently had left his family in
this city. A few weeks ago he wrote
home that he desired to see his family,
and asked them to come out to visit and
arrangements were being made to have
them with him in July, with a possibility
of their remaining there to make their
home, but death came suddenly, thus
changing plans for the future.
