Tl M 3sBfI 1111? - -i--tvJL-r rrtrf PMh ftr You Are a Practical Man. well taken, believe we ought to get together and do business. We as sume that you want fence, and being the manner of man above de ?"ribeil, it is afe to ay that you have passed the barbed wire era and wan: the best woven wire fence you can procure. You want a fence that will be an oriMClt to Tfc r v"Ceu- f the arM tnat wiU successfully tmr all stek That lott want, -jthont injury to either animals or fence: one that will not sag or bag between the posts: one that will do f ret cla service for a long term of years, and not be filled witb broken lateral wires when the frosts of January contract it, or look like a carpet nwr festooning the currant bushes in the hot days of July and Ausrust: a fence that will conform perfectly to the surface of the ground, without cutting or lapping when you want to take it over a hill or down into a gully; one in which the up right wires are heavy enough to give some support to the mesh, and put on the tence in such a way that a good share of the life of the wire is not irone before the ever get to do service in tne field; with the upriffhTt wires heavy enough and close enoiek together so that a pur can neither crowd through the mesh nor kink up the wire and roll under. You want a fence that is complete in the roll, readv to stretch and staple full width as soon as posts are set. The Lamb Fence is the "best looker ever put on posts, and there is nothing you can get from an equal expenditure which will ?o improve the" appearance of the place, or; add so much to its value. It is hish enough neither horses nor cattle can reach over it when teed is short and. crops look tempting on the other side, and it l- close enough in mesh so that neither pigs nor sheep can spread the wires and crowd through. Beware the man who cheapens fence by wide spacing of uprights. A 200 lb. man can go through any four-inch space between laterals, where the uprights are thirty inches apart, before such a fence has been in service one year, and a hog or calf ha equal intelligence in that matter. The Material. To make a fence stand up and preserve its shape, you must have it elastic; to make it elastic you most have it of hard steel wire almost sprins steel; thai is what yon get in the LAMB. Galvanizing is the best protection that can be had for wire; the coating should be uniform, even and smooth. You cannot get better galvanizing than you find in the LAMB fence. The Construction. Your good sense tells you that if yoa put Xo. 11 laterals in a fence, and uprights of No. " 14 ot No. 12, your uprights will give out long before the laterals. When you get the LAMB you wifl find that all the wire in it, uprights, locks and all, is of a substantial size, and hard steel at that. Another very important point is in the Way the naright W put on. You are a practical man, and you know that it is onlv a question of the number of times that you bend any piece of metal back and forth before you break it. If you want to break a piece of wire you pass the ends and draw it to a kink. Now that is just what vou do when you wrap one wire around as small a circumference as another wire, "and the larger the wire you use to make the wrap, the more von break the coating and the fibre and weaken the wire at the joint. ' In the LAMB you get a straight, henry npright in one piece, not weakened by any wrap or kink, and that has not losf Half its life by being worked before it get lata the fence. But the practical and sensible men on the sum have need of something that is durable, that is enlcient, that h a time and money saver, that is simple, strong and onoily handled, aad they find it in the LAMB fence.

The Journal failed to mention the marriage of Miss Kate Kohler, well known in Columbus, to Mr. Abe Fred line, a dentist of Boise, Idaho. The marriage took place in Denver April 6, and was kept secret until a few days ago. Mr. Fredline was a Columbus resident about one year ago and has a number of acquaintances here. The couple will make their home in Boise. A fire, supposed to bs incendiary, destroyed the blacksmith- shop at Rochon owned by Mike Kempovic ten miles south of Columbus, t Thursday night about one o'clock, burning two horses that were in the barn.

Dr. George Haslam and Otto Pohl made the run from Omaha to Fremont yesterday in the tatter's automobile, cov ering the distance of thirty-nine miles in two hours and fifteen minutes. This is believed to be record time for Fremont automobilists. The journey was made over rough roads, the worst piece of which was between Arlington and the Schneider grade. The gentlemen missed the road twice and had to retrace their way some distance each time. Had it not been for this they would have arrived here fifteen minutes sooner. Fremont Tribune. Mr. Carl T. McKinnie, a relative of the 1 Turners, who is here from Colorado Springs on a few weeks visit and who has mining interests there, is secretary-treasurer of the Citizens Alliance in El Paso county, and vice president of the state organization of the Citizens AlHance, an organization created to combat the labor unions. Mr. McKinnie was a member of the constitutional committee at the organization of the Citizens' Industrial Association of America of which D. M. Parry is president. He has promised the Journal an article explaining the labor situation in Colorado and the functions of the organization of which he is an officer. Mr. C. M. Gruenther, clerk of the dis trict court, who returned from his Col orado trip last Monday, has given us an account of his trip and of the conditions existing in the strike ridden state. Bus iness in Denver and the mining towns, ssys Mr. Gruenther, is stagnated, inves tors being unwilling to invest a cent for the development of new enterprises un til the strike situation is cleared up. He says that about 20,000 miners are idle and that in the camps which are under military rule, especially at Telluride and Auray, the situation is critical. His impression is that while most of the business men are against the miners because they feel that the miners' position is wrong, yet the action of the bill in calling out the militia has caused a reaction of senti ment in favor of the miners. Mr. Gruenther says also that when he came through drouth-stricken eastern Colo rado, Sunday, a heavy rain was falling. Mr. David Thomas who came to make his home in Columbus two weeks ago, affords an illustration of what Platte county soil combined with brains will do for a man. Mr. Thomas owns several thousand acres of land and his bank account was large enough to enable him to pay 525,000 for another ranch a short time ago, all made on a Platte county farm. The following, reprinted from the Platte Center Signal, shows the esteem in which Mr. Thomas was held by his neighbors: "A farewell party was given last Friday evening to Mr. and Mrs. David Thomas at their home in Pb6tville. Con sidering the very cold night there was s very large number of their friends came to bid them good-by before their depart ure for their new home in Columbus. Mr. Owen Jones presented Mr. and Mis. Thomas with an elegant rocking chair, purchased with contributions from friends, and be made a few sympathetic remarks, saying in part: We desire to bear testimony to your worth as neigh bors, and eitiTeaa. Yoa have been suc cessful in this world; yon can live the remainder of your days in comfort and ease, as this preseat we teader you indi cates our wish.' In responding Mr. Thomas said that he was very glad to meet his friends, and would treasure the gift as the nvpressios of good will. He said: 'Wherever I may be I will think of Postville, she place where I have always lived since coming to the state of Nebraska many years ago.' The presen tation was fallowed by Mrs. H. T. Phil lips playing on the piano and all joining in singing songs. The ladies had pre pared for the occasion with oysters, sand wiches, cake aad coffee.
