Hail as large as a quail's egg fell yes terday for Beveral minutes, rendering the streets glistening sheets of ice. Bnt little winil prevailed during the storm. Five families of emigrants from the province of Maren in Austria arrived in the city Monday. They expect to locate in Butler and I'olk counties, where they have friends. A Bplendid sample of rye was brought to the Journal olllce last Monday from the fields of Mrs. Brady, who resides a few miles northwest of this city, in the Loup valley. The rye measured live feet eight inches in height and in every way has a healthy appearance. David Anderson purchased over 100 head of ref uae stock this week, Biiuli aa old atagB, old cowe, etc. The stock will be driven to Sioux City and fattened for the Indian market. This was a favor able move for our farmers and stock raisers aa it afforded them an opportuni ty to dispose of all their objectionable and rough cattle at a fair price. A western farmer suggests the use of aod for feuce-s in Illinois', Iowa and other etatee where timber is scarce. lie writes aa follows in relation to the. matter: In Kngland and Ireland they have no fences. I have een them m this country oc casionally, but 1 think if our farmers knew their practical merits, we should see them oftener. Only dig two ditch es, three feet apart, three feet widrt and two feet deep. Throw the dirt from the ditches on the space between, beat it down until it has some hardness, and cive it enough slant to prevent caving, aud you have a fenco for a lifetime. In most cases here we need no turf or whim hushes as they do in the old country, for in a year the bank will be covered with a luxuriant growth of blackberry bushes answering every purpose. Even where limber is plenty, we can uiBke this fence cheaper than moat any other. Marriage Licenses. John J . Theiseu, Humphrey Helen G. Weber. Humphrey Horatio H. Adams, Columbus Fhylis M. Kinney.

KAVANAUGH The following from the Crete News tells of the musical success of a former Columbus girl, who will eoon return to this city with the family and make her home here: The junior recital given last Saturday evening by Miss Edith Waite, voice, Mies Dora NeumeUter and Mr. Richard Gray, piano, was one of the most pleasing concerts of the season. A large audience was in attendance and many expressions of pleasure and enjoy ment were heard on all sides. Miss Waite, pupil of Mrs. Luce, has developed very remarkably in the past year. Her voice is clear aud full und under perfect control at all times. Her selections were of a wide range and proved her equally versatile in all styles of vocal composition. Her singing waa a great surprise to many of her friends. Purity of tone, distinct enunciation and good expression made all her numbers very enjoyable. Mies Neumeiater proved herself a very talented pianist. Her numbers were all clearly executed, show ing careful training. She possesses an unusually musical and pretty touch and has a sure and Grin technique, She plays with the greatest case, entering into the spirit of each composition . Her playing throughout was greatly admired by all and a brilliant future is predicted for her. Mr. Gray showed himself to be a genuine musician. His playing is mast erly and forceful, showing a well balan ced mental equipment as well as a good technique. All of hia numbers were played with ease and precision and a general air of repose and confidence. Hearty applause greeted all bis selec tions. The concert closed with a dnet by Miss Nenmeister and Mr. Gray which was enjoyed by all. The entire concert was u pronounced success. At the ripe old age of eighty-two years Louis Phillipps, sr , passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Plath. Mr. Phillipps was born in Germany, October 27, 1828, and was 83 years 7 months and '. days old at the time of this death. At the age of twenty-eight he left his native land and came to America, settling in Knoxville, 111., where he took oat bis citizenship papers. From there be went to Macon Oity, Mo., where in 1853 he married Elizabeth Hoffman. In 18C1, when the country was still new, they came to Oolumbus and located on a homestead south of the river, while he worked at his trade of a shoemaker, and opened up the first shoe store in the city. Later he engaged in the grocery busi- noes, and during considerable of his I fifty years1 residence here was identified with the business interests of the city. Before coming to this country Mr. Phillipps served in the German army during the war of 1848. He leaves five grown children, Mrs. J . J. Dodds of Cambridge, J. C. Phillipps of Belgrade, Mrs. L. Plath, L. F. Phillipps, aud II. A. Phillipps of this city. Funeral servi ces were held Sunday afternoon at St. Bonnventuru's church, and he was buried beside his wife. Friday evening the city council hld a special meeting to consider the proposi tion of the Columbus Light, Heat and Power company to establish a maximum rate of fourteen cents per killowat, with a discount of ten per cent for prompt payment. The proposition had been re ferred to the committee, and the council turned down the proposition, preferring the present rates to the ones proposed by the light people. At the same meet ing the light company submitted anoth er proposition to the city for all night service, making a price for such service of 8100 per year for the arcs, in place of $70 under the present agreement, and 20 for all tiight incandescent lights, instead of $15, the price at presenL This war. referred to the committee, and will be taken up at a later meeting. Just what to do with the water that accumulates west of the Union Pacific depot after a rain, seems to be puzzling the engineering department of that road. Soon after the street had been paved and everything seemed lovely, there waa a heavy shower of rain and the pond on the paving resulted. An engineer and the paving man came out and a flection of the pavement wan torn up and relaid, and the supposition was that the pond would be no more, even if it did rain. But it did not work out that way. With the last heavy rain the pond returned, a little larger than before aud a few feet from the old location. Tuesday an engineer came out again and the pave ment taken up once more, and it now re mains to be seen whether the offending pond has disappeared for good. Jacob Tfichudin, living in the Gruetli neighborhood, across the river from Monroe, was injured by a vicious bull last Wednesday. Mr. Tschudin. with his sons, was preparing to ship a car of cattle and the animal, which had never shown a vicious disposition before, was with the herd. Withont any warning he attacked Mr. Techudin and knocked him down, and trampled him, bruising him considerably. Fortunately the sharp horns of the animal were not brought into play, or his attack might have re sulted differently. Mr. Techudin was not injured seriously, but he will feel the effects of the encounter for some time. The Shell Creek Cornet band are mak ing preparations to hold a Fourth of .Inly celebration at Joe Krause'e grove, five miles northeast of Platte Center.

Columbus will not celebrate the Four th this year, as was planned at first. The committee on soliciting funds did not meet with an enthusiastic response, and it became evident that Columbus business men were not in favor of having a celebration this year, and the commit tee finally concluded to call the celebia tion off. The Kearney-Columbus ball game will be the only attraction in the city that day. Last week Geo. Lehman completed arrangements to again secure control of the Thurston hotel, and took possession. For the last week he has been making preparations for opening the dining room, and will begin serving meals Wed nesday of this week.

Arrangements for Oolumbus races next week are practically completed.

The management and stock holders of the association are boosting harder than ever this year, to make the meet a success, notwithstanding the com paratively early date. Arrangements have been made for special trains on the branches the last day so that people who attend may return that same day. Some time ago the board of supervis ors of Platte county presented a bill to Butler county for their share of the amount expended in repairing the south end of the Platte bridge, the work being done last winter. A few days ago Chairman Scbwarz of the board received notice that the bill had been rejected by the Butler county board and that they did not propose to pay anything toward the btidge. Upon receipt of this County Attorney Hensley was instruct ed to bring suit against Butler county, and compel them to pay their propor- I tionate cost of the repairs. 8 ROOM HOUSE Good barn and five acres of lnad, 12 blocks from Post office.

Cummins, who was to have been check ed in as Union Pacific agent at Oconee, attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a razor.

The hotel peo ple thought he was dead and called Coroner Gass. Shortly after the arrival of the coroner it was discovered he was still alive and Dr. Bates of Monroe was called and later a company physician from this city. The wound, which was on the right side of the neck, is a bad one, but not necessarily fatal, and there are good prospects for his recovery. Cummins is a man about twenty-five years old aud bis home was in Ohio. So far the authorities have been unable to discover any motive for the deed . On The Diamond. Columbus has been playing ball dur ing the last week, the addition of the three new men materially strengthening the team. Thursday's game with Fremont went fourteen innings, Columbus succeeding in scoring in the last inning. A shower interfered in the twelfth, but the game was continued after that. Fremont was here for Friday's game and again Oolumbus defeated them, the score being 3 to G. Chittick's spectacu lar catch and double to Brown in the seventh prevented Fremont from scoring. Saturday and Sunday ColumbuB play ed two return games at Fremont, and lost both games to the home team. In the Saturday game the score was G to 3, and the Sunday game 2 to 1 Over 200 fans went to Fremont to see the Sunday game and it was quite exciting until the finish. With the bases full in the ninth Fremont changed pitchers and Malum for Columbus fanned. Monday'ti postponed game with Kear ney was easily won by Columbus. Agnew. the new catcher, batted a home run in the fiist bringing in three tuns, which gave Columbus a lead that the visitors could not overcome. Stafford was in the box for Columbus, hut he was relieved by Kissell in the last half of the eighth. Tuesday's game was the first with Itetl Cloud and it proved to be a slugging match for Columbus. They touched up tile visitors' three pitchers for eleven hits, which netted them eight runs, while Kissell held them down to five hits. For Columbus Tighe batted a borne run in the fifth and Agnew hit the ball four times out of five times up, two of them being two baggers .

Two new beds have been purobaaed for use in the dormitories, making twenty-six in all. The base ball boys, who use two beds to the room, left several rooms without beds, so that more were bought for new roomers. Secretary Putnam was in the city Sua day afternoon, returning to the boys" camp early Monday morning. He re ports that everything ia coming along fine. Although soaked to the akin the first day ont, the boy soon dried them selves, and lately they have been having some ideal weather. Several returned Saturday and Sunday, but the others are sticking it out, and declare they would stay all anmmer if allowed to do so. The camp is nicely located on Joba Blaser's farm, fifteen miles west of the city. Mr. Putnam attempted to get three men to go along as leaders, but waa unable to do so, and consequently be is now in sole charge of the camp. The amount of work he baa to do can only be understood by those who have attempted to take care of twenty hungry mischievous boys for a few days. Sever al have visited the boys during the last few days, and of course were given a roy al welcome. Mr. Putnam expects to bring them back to civilization Thurs day, and needless to say the town will wake up a little when they arrive.
