In the society column of last Snn-

tion. It was stated that Mr. Hensley
and an Omaha boy were close comes-
rants for first place in the class which
graduate nest June
First or even second rank iu a West
Point class, is an honor that should
inspire pride not only in the heart of
a mother and lather but it is an honor
of which Columbus and Nebraska may
well feel proud.
The ftderal military academv at
tracts to us dcors the cream of our
country's youth both intellectually
and physically. The standard of
schoolarship and the physical require
ments are such many of the boys aro
unatde to etidnte the tet and they
drop out in the first years of the
course It is a mark of honor, there
lore, to graduate lowest in a class
trom West Point
All credit is due every boy who has
thr moral conrace to pursue tc the
end a course in any of onr institu

ial credit it, due to the boy who is
able to finish with first honors in the
most exacting school in America.

A .Rainy Picnic
Monday's Daily i
The picnic which the Sophomores
planned for the Seniors at McPher
son's Lake last Saturday got rained
on to an alarming extent. The crowd,
consisting of forty-two yonng people,
loaded on two large hayracks, started
for the ene of their prospective fes
tivities early in the morning. The
Ky was almost clear, consequently
few parasols were in evidence. Before
the nierrv crowd were three miles
from Oojumbus, they were sorry they
had nor consulted the weather man.
The rain fell in torrents and it did
all the things ro the starched gowns
that water can do. In fact the ap
pearance of some of the girls was so
transformed that it appealed to the
artistic taste of Miss Smith, the art
teacher. who made gome sketches from
lilt- that are saicPto be very interest
ing. The ram drove the crowd into the
nearest farm house which happened
ro be on rhe Galley farm whero a new
hous had been bnilr recentlv. For a
rime prorection was songhr under
some sheds, bur the rain continuing,
rhe young folks were invited to the
house, where they remained for about
four hoars. How the forty-two high
school people, added to a family of
ren children weie ablo to occupy
three extra cbairs and eat dinner and
then come home and report it the
grcaresr picnic ever, is more than we
can x;laiu.
Some of the boys walked home on
the lailroml track and the waco.
with their water soaked brudeua.pull
! ed in about five o'clock.
Principal Brittell, Mrs. Chas. Dack
ard Miss Marion Smith very ably and
acceprably chaperoned the crowd.
Laid Out With an Air Tube
( Monday's Daily i
An air tube used for the purpose of
connecting cars after conrjllnrr has
I been made was the weapon with
I which a fellow train man put another
man out of business this morning jnst
before leaving with their train for the
usual run. Denny Sullivan was the
fellow who wielded the tnbe to such
telling effect and Davis, a fireman re -ceived
the blow over the head and
now he is in bed under the care of a
physician. Snllivan is a brakeman
and went out as usual with his train
to Grand Island. It seems that there
was an old grudge of long standiag
and after a few uncomplimentary re
marks passed between them this
morning the collision occcrcd as above
stated.

Sense
Old Horace Greely said a good many
things besides "Go west, young man,"
and most of them are good yet. The
following is told by the magazine Suc
cess: An acquaintance once met Horace
Greely one day and said: "Mr. Greely
I've stopped yonr paper. "
' ' Have you V 'said the editor ; ' ' well,
tnat'N too bad. "and he went his way.
The next morningMr. Greely met his
subscriber again and'said, "I thought
you had stopped the Tribune:
"So I did."
' ' Then them must be some mistake. ' '
said Mr. Greely, "for 1 jnst left the
office and the presses were running,
the clerks were as busy as ever, the
compositors were hard at work and
the business was going on the same as
yesterday and the day before."
"Oh!" ejaculated the subscriber,"l
didn't mean that I had stopped the
paper; I stopped only my copy of it,
because I didn't like your editorials."
Z "Pshaw!" retorted Mr. Greely.
"If wasn't worth taking up my
time to tell me such a trifle as that.
Mr dear sir, if you expect to con
trole the utterance of the Tribune by
the purchase of one copy a day, or if
you think to find any newspaper or
magazine worth reading that will
never express convictions at right
angles with yonr own, yon are doomed
to disappointment.'
Eecord Breaking Storm
i Monday's- D:iil i
The rain which fell Saturday and
part of the night was the heaviest ex
perienced here for years. Washouts
on the railroads are reported from all
sections east and west. On the main
line the through trains have been run
ning any old time, some being as late
as forty hours. WeBt from here almosr
to Grand Island the track in many
places is under water and several
breaks in the grade caused calling in
to service many track men and the
piledriver crew.
East from here and near Schuyler
the country is a solid sheet of water
and at Fremont the entire low lands
and "a great portion of the city is a
running stream of water.
Trains on the Norfolk and Spalding
branches were tied up from Saturday
evening until a late hour last night.
The Norfolk passenger which was due
out at S o'clock Saturday evening did
not leave the station until late Sun
day afternoon.
Over a hundred workmen and train
men were busy all day yesterday and
late into the night repairing tracks
and washouts near Monroe on the Al
bion line and between Humphrey and
Madison on the Norfolk line. They
report the water to be highest since
the building of the branches twenty
years ago.
At nine o'clock this morning an
other break was rejorted two miles
west ofDnncan and three trains bound
west and two for the east arc side
tracked waiting to cross after nee
cessary repairs can be made.
At Silver Creek and Clarks the citi
zens are compelled to use boats to
get to and from their residen
ces. The Loup is the highest it
has been for fifteen years and Shell
Creek is out of its banks and rushing
over the cultivated lands in many
places two feet deep, and it is said to
be the highest it has been for forty
vears.
Editor Pratt fays that Humphrey
and Platte Center are both flooded, the
water being above the floor in many
houses.
Columbus has got its share of the
flood and in the north west part of
the city cellars are filled, sidewalks
floated" nway and smaller boatbuild
ings washed from their foundations
The country jnst north of Columbus
is a sea and the fanners find it diffi
cult to do chores and care for stock.
Representative Bender who was in
Fremont at about soon aays that the
whole city i6 flooded and that as his
train left, the tracks on the Elkhorn
road were being washed out.
The B.&M. track near the bridge
south of Columbus was washed out,
delaying this morning's pa monger an
hour.
The irrigation ditch north of town
is a roaring river and lands around it
are swept by the flood.
Many places along the Meridian
road has been washed eatirely out and
the water has been pouring into town
from the north to such an extent that
west Columbus is aothiag but a lake.
The stockyards wast of the coal
chute are floatiBg in water and the
U. P. "Y" has two large holes wash
ed from under the nils.

COLUMBINES.
The fool newspapers are trying to
make fun of the emancipated female
just because the presiding officer at a
recent convention 6aid,"Thf lady in
the purple plaia is out of order. The
lady in the yellow 6ilk has the floor."
It strikes us that this is a very Eensi
ible and efiertive way to designate
the dear critters. It would hardly do
to refer to "the lady from Philadel
pnia," "the lady from Podnnk,''etc,
because with all the members clamor
iug for the door there might be sev
eral ladies from Philadelphia. Nor
would it be in accord with the spirit
of tht occasion to designate a mem
ber as Mrs. So-and-so. since that very
act would be an unpleasant reminder
of the deposed tyrant, Mr So-and-so,
who is either out on a spree as a cure
for loneliness or at home washing
dishes, as the esse may be. It would
belie the very name of emancipation
to veil the identity of this sovereign
female under tb- name of that com
mon toiler. As well micht the chair
man of u Mag convention address a
' memhr a "the male complement of
Ar.r.ni;..o wit... I'lol.l-inr, ' ... -
thine of the sort. But in the matter
of feminine raiment there would be
no doubles and consequently no am
biguity. Such a method of designa
tion would require nice disci imina
tion on the part of the presiding offi
cer and wonld open up numerous pit
falis into which she might stumble.
Ent we are convinced that it is the
only really satisfactory method.

The Doctor Walker Case.
The case of the Stato ncaiust Dr. D
G. Walker of Lindsay for practicing
medicine without a license was heard
in district court Monday atfernoon
and decided iu favor of the defendant.
Judge Reeder instructed the jury to
find that the State Board which" at
tempted to revoke Dr. Walker's licen
se had no authority for 6uch attempt
ed revocation and that since theState
Board lacked that nuthoritv under the
law, Dr. Walker's licensee had never
been revoked The jury was areed
upon in a very few minutes and the
whole case disposed of in about two
hours. The merits of the case which
involve the charge of attempting to
commit criminal abortion, were not
entered upon the whole decision
resting upon the jurisdiction of the
State Board to revotce n license on the
charge in this case. This is a signal
victory for Dr. Walker. Whether the
case will br carried to the higher
courts has not yet been ascertained.
The prominence which has been
given in Platte and adjoining counties
to what has been known as the"Urod-boll-Walker"
fight, warrants a brief
review of the trouble aud litigation
which has been spread out over two
years and which, possibly, is still un
settled. It is not necessat3- to revert at
length to the beginning of the litiga
tion soon after a heated municipal el
ection at Lindsav in which Dr D G.
Walker, though opposed by E. A.
Brodball. was elected to the village
council of which he becnine chairman
It was about this time that Dr.
Munk of Newman Grove called Dr.
Walker in consultation in the case of
Mrs. Dennis Daly, noon whom it was
alleged afterward before the State
Medical Board, that an abortion was
performed by the two doctors.
The doctors, on th other hand,
maintained that the operation was
performed to save tho htt of the wo
man, and with the full consent of the
husband of Mrs. Daly. Several other
similar charges were made to all of
which there was a similar answer
from the doctors. One charge of rape
was also made ncainst Doctors Walker
and Munk, on complaint of E A.
B rod boll. The case was tried at Mad
ison and the court pronounced the
doctors not guilty.
Then the same charge', were filed
with the State Medical lioanl ami
after a hearing, the professional li
censes of both doctors were revoked.
Jndge Post, counsel for the doctors,
filed a petition in error to the district
court of Lancaster county settinc up
that the orders of the State Board
revoking the licenses were void.
The complainants' attorney inndo a
motion to strike ont the petition on
the ground that the findings of the
State Board were not reviewable in
a district court. Thi:- motion was
sustained, leaving the Board's revoca
tion order iu apparent effect
Then the doctors returned home and
upon the advice of Judge Post com in
ued their practice as lefore lr was
this practice that led to the criminal
action brought against Dr Walker
which has just been decided m favor
of the latter Judge Post'c telling
argument in this last case wa- his
calling attention to th fact that the
complaint alleged simply nn"atten:nt"
to commit an abortion, ann that the
StateMedical Board is given authority
by law to act, only in cases where
there is n "completed" abortion al
leged For professional reasons bt
known to himself. Judge Post did nor
argue this point in the district court
of Lancaster county Now mat Dr
Walker stands acquitted, Jndge Post
expresses himself as reasonably certain
that the law of lt0:; creating the Med
ical Board is unconstitutional on sev
eral grounds Ami he believes that
the decision of the district court m
Lancaster county, which hold- that
the legality of tho State Board't, act
ion is not reviewable by the courts,
will be reversed in theSuprenie courts
whPre the case is to be appealed. Now
that Dr Walker ha won hi? cases on
technical grounds, he expresses him
self as determined to have th- charges
tried on their merits and to that end
he will doubtless becin damage pro
ceedings against I. .-. B rod boll and
other complaining witne?es
Dr Munk was simp:v an interestea
witness at Dr. Walkf trial. Had
the case gone against alker he be
lieves that similar action would have
been brought against hi?.
As to the merits of t ither side of
this litigation, the Journal ha? never
taken a position ditor:..Hv We have
Bimply stated the fact- and issues as
they have came from the courts and
