Files of The Journal, August 19, 1874.
We are sorry to learn that Charles
Peareall, a email lad, had his arm broken
by the accidental falling of a window
eash across his arm, on Sabbath last.
For the past week thousands of bushels
of wheat have changed hands in the
Columbus markets. The dealers paid
daring the week as high as 74 cents a
bushel.
Tt io rather strange that L. H. Butch
er's forty acres of garden, in which be is
raising cucumbers for running bis pickle
factory at Lincoln, not a vine or cucum
ber was eaten by the grasshoppers.
The young trees that were stripped of
'all their foliage by the grasshoppers are
ugaiu sending forth a new stock of leaves;
especially were we pleased to notice the
new leaves coming forward so rapidly on
the young apple trees, which fact in
spires the hope that they may still live
, to bear fruit, sometime.
Oscar Soholdstorm, a swede, called at
the Journal office yesterday and stated
that he was met by a large buck Indian
on Monday last, between Silver Creek
and Jackson on the U. P. R R. track
took from him his coat and provisions.
He stated that he was afraid to resist, be
cause he thought if be did the Indian
would kill him. The reader has the
etnry as told to us and must form his
own conclusions. We have no reason to
doubt the man's word.

Sunday evening the second Redpath
Chautauqua closed a successful ten
day's engagement in this city. The
talent on the closing day, Father Daly,
the Helen May Butler band and Opie
Reid, was exceptionally good, although
the entire program this year was much
better than last. As the two first chau
tauquas did not pay expenses, it was a
question as to whether they would be
continued in this city or not, but the
Redpath people are very anxious to con
tinue Columbus in their circuit, and
with the aid of a goodly number of those
interested in having them come in 1910
there is every prospect that the Chautau
qua will be a permanent institution for
this city. This year it will require the
sale of 700 season tickets to cover the ex
pense of the nextseason, and the citizens
showed their willingness to support it
by subscribing for over 400 before the
present engagement was completed.
With this much of a start, there is no
doubt bnt that the remainder of the
tickets will be sold, and the Chautauqua
assured. Next year another location
will be necessary, and there are a num
ber of desirable and convenient places
that can be secured, where there will be
plenty of shade, and of easy access.
A call for the police Sunday evening
about 9:30 revealed the fact that a young
woman had attempted to throw herself
and child under the wheels of train No.
2, the Overland Limited. It seems that
family trouble is at the bottom of the
affair The woman's name is Mrs. Jokes
and she lives on East Twelfth street, her
husband being a bricklayer. There had
been considerable trouble between the
two during the afternoon and it finally
culminated in Mrs. Jokes getting in front
of the train juBt after it started to pull
out. The train was stopped and she,
with her child, was taken from the track,
but she again succeeded in getting in
front of the engine, which was Btopped,
and this time she was held until the
train had gotten out of the yard. She
then threatened to throw herself under
the next train that came along, and some
trouble at the home a few minutes later
was responsible for the police call
Officer Mark Burke responded to the
call, but when he arrived at the home
everything was quiet Mrs. Jokes, with
her two children, left for the home of
her parents in Cortland, Nebraska, where
she resided before her marriage.
Du-ssel & Son are planning to build a
home for the plumbing and heating busi
ness one that will he a credit to the i
city. They have purchased forty-four
feet east of the Commercial National
Bank and will put up a modern building
44x80, two stories and basement. The
building will be built with a view of
having it exactly fill their needs, and in
securing this location they have been
looking ahead, for with the growth of the
city trackage will, in the near future, be
a great advantage to the handling of
their business, and this location gives
them excellent trackage, as their proper
ty extends to the present side track
which is accessible from both railroads.
The architect is preparing the plans and
as soon us they are completed, the firm
will submit them to the contractors for
bids, so the building will be completed
when they are ready to vacate their pres
ent quarters, which will be about the
first of next April. Mr. Levine, who pur
chased the building they now occupy,
intends to put in a modern brick store
building during the year 1910.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Sept
ember 4, Sand G, Columbus will enter
tain the Bundes Ereiger Fest, the an
nual meeting of the veterans of the Ger
man army in this country. Between two
and three thousand visitors will be pres
ent. During the day the exercises will
be in Kbpetzky park, in the east part of
the city, and both halls the Maennerchor
and Orpheus, will be used, the former
being headquarters for the three days.
Prominent speakers, among who will be
Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, will make
addressee, and all the officers of the
order will be present. Represen
tatives from several states will be pres
ent, as this jurisdiction includes Iowa.
Kansas and Nebraska. The local brauch
of the order are working hard to make
the affair a success, and tbey say it will
be the largest brongbt to Columbus for
some time.
While the south and eastern portion
of the county has been hot and dry for
the last week or ten days, the north
western portion has had plenty of mois
ture at least Jerry Carrig and Fred
Plath, who were delivering ballots last
Thursday, thought so. They started
from Columbus in an auto and when
they reached Lindsay their machine was
covered with mud, as almost a two inch
rain had fallen in that locality that day.
The rain was very heavy until about two
miles west of Monroe, and extended
clear to the northwest portion of the
county. They returned by way of Hum
phrey and found iry roads, with one ex
ception, nntil they reached this city.
For a number of years they have deliv
ered the ballots and traveled over the
same route, and they say crops never
looked as promising as this year.

Tuesday morning the Omaha Auto
mobile reliability contest for motor cars
passed through this city, this place being
scheduled as their noon stop. The pilot
car with Captain Bucliau, arrived at 9:30
having left Omaha at 5 a m., and was
supplied with gasoline at the Columbus
Automobile company's garage. This
run is from Omsha to Hasting for the
first day, Wednesday, and from Hastings
to Omaha for tbe second day's run.
Thursday. The run is the largest one
ever undertaken by tbe Omaha motorists
ard passes through one of the prettiest
sections of the state. - Between 150 and
200 people are with the tour, and there
were quite a number of ladies in the
tour. Between this city and Omaha the

ance of those in the cars would indicate.

being filled with gasoline, they left for
Central City, the next stop.
Tuesday was primary day, and the dem
ocrats were the ones who bad the

of bis opponents, Ed Roesiter andT. S.
Jaworski. And this year with the ex
ception of sheriff, those nominated
practically have a certificate of election,
as sheriff is the only office that the re
publicans have a candidate for. The
vote all over tbe county was exception
ally light, and especially the republican
vote only fifteen votes being cast for
their candidates in the Fourth ward, the
strongest republican ward in the city.

townships will not change the result.

Creamery Agents Fined for Making
False Tests.
State Food Commissioner Maine has
had two creamery agents fined for mak
ing false tests. Mrs. Hans Range of
Cairo pleaded guilty in the county court
of Hall county before Judge Mullen and
was fined for ber offense. She was agent
for the Farmers' Co-operative Creamery
and Supply company of Omaha By her
false teat the Omaha company paid for
more cream than it actually received
The money paid belonged to the cream
ery company and the Omaha company is
supposed to be responsible for the acts of
its agenta If this is true there is more
in the case than a violation of the pure
food law, which makes it unlawful for
anyone to make a false test of cream.
Her acts resulted in the Omaha com
pany pajiug more for cream than it pays
at other stations in the state, freight
rates being considered; and the company
may be prosecuted under the anti-discrimination
law which makes it unlaw
ful for any person or corporation to pay
more for a product at one town than it
pays at another town, freight rates being
considered.
Thus far the prosecutions have been
only against agents of creamery compan
ies and only two have been prosecuted.
If prosecutions are now conducted
against the creamery companies that
permit their agents to discriminate un
fairly, it is believed tbe unfair discrimi
nation complained of would soon cease.
Creamery companies permit their agents
to make false tests, pay the extra cost
for cream they do not actually receive in
the purchase, in order to keep some com
petitor from getting the cream This
practice is believed to come clearly under
tbe state anti-discrimination law and
prosecutions of creamery companies are
awaited.
Mra Runge's test of.cream, bought of
Jessen Bros, was 24 per cent. Inspector
Vogel of the state food commissioner's
office, tested the same cream and made
it 19 per cent. State Chemist Redfern
made a test of the same cream showing
19 5 per cent. Mra Runge's teet of
cream bought from a farmer named
Bnrry showed 25 per cent. Mr. Vogel's
test of tbe same cream showed 21 j and
the test of Mr. Redfern showed 21-25.
