Lamb Woven Wire Fencing.

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

night about one o'clock, burning two
horses that were in the barn. One of

ning and was valued at over $100.
Horses tracks were plainly seen about

Dr. George Haslam and Otto Pohl
made the run from Omaha to Fremont
yesterday in the tatter's automobile, cov

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

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
