A email hail utnriu Saturday morning. No damage so far aa we can learn. The lightning was very vivid, and the peal upon peal of thunder terrific for a few minutes. And now cornea tho harvest of the runner. Crops have been most excell ent, dealers generally will le disposed to lay in a large supply of good?, and wc see no special reason why the runner should not rejoice with the rest of man kind. Joseph Strother of Deadwood, through the kindness of J. O. Shannon of this place, sends us a small sheet of birch bark, as thin us ordinary letter paper, as soft as velvet and very easy to write up on with pen and ink. Most people who have looked at it are incredulous . At nine o'clock yesterday morning a dense, black cloud overspread the sky, making it so dark that we were compel led to light our lamps to see to write this paragraph and set it in type This lasted a few moments, when iho heavens opened and poured down a tremendous shower of rain O. P. Iteeil, who is farming at the foot of the bluffs, north of tho city, left with us Monday Hume of the finest speci mens of corn wo have seen this year. One of the ears, (twenty rows) is from seed planted April 27, and is ripe to hardness.

KAVANAUGH Four of the candidates who made the race for nominations at the August pri mary spent more than the regulation $5 for filing fee, in their effort to land the nomination. August Wagner, who was the successful democratic candidate for the nomination for county attorney spent $01.35 for printing and other ex penses, this sum including his filing fee, while his opponent, W. N. Hensley paid but $15 for announcements in the newspapers and $5 for a filing fee. It. G.Regan, democratic candidate for float representative from the Twenty-fifth district expended S5G.50 for expenses in securing the nomination, $5 of which was for the filing fee. Chas. Schueth, the democratic nominee for the legisla ture from the Twenty-fourth district spent $5 for having an announcement printed, and $T for a filing fee, making a total of ten. .The four supervisors file statements to the effect that their only expense was their filing fee, and a simi lar statement was filed by I. L. Albert and Edwin Iloare, democratic and re publican nominees respectively, for the sennte from the Twelfth district, and Frank Schram, the successful republi can candidate for the nomination for the legislature for the Twenty-fifth district only expended S3 for a filing fee. Taken in all the expenses of the various candi dates were rjite modest this year, and the filing fees received do not go very far toward defraying the expense of the primary. Columbus was represented in the en durance test conducted by the Omaha Motor club, which passed through this city last Friday. The noon control was at the Got the rg garage, and the ma chines were given a supply of gasoline and oil, and checked in an out, each ma chine being allowed an hour for noon. Mr. Gottberg reports a satisfactory and pleasant trip, which extended from Omaha to Shenandoah, la., and from there to Kearney, returning to Omaha. A former Oolumbus man, F. T. Walker, accompanied by his son Francis, also drove a car in the race, his being a Chalmers. Mr. Gottberg drove one of his Ford cars, and says that the ten miles of bad road between Shenandoah and Lincoln gave him an opportunity to pass many of the cars that had started ahead of him. While the oiUcial score has not yet been announced, Mr. Gott berg is confident that he made a good record. Chas. Kozial of Tarnov came very near eettinir" into serious trouble in that i village last Thursday. From the com plaint filed it would seem that he en deavored to use a sledge hammer on John Mostek, a resident of that village, threatening to do Mostek serious injury. The complaint was filed by S. M, Slefan oviczf and Kozial was brought before Police Judge O'Brien Tuesday. Ho plead guilty to the charge and was assessed a fine of $10 and costs. It seems this is an old grudge between the two men and is not the first time they have had trouble, but none as serious as this. Kozial paid his fine nnd was allowed to return, but he was warned not to repeat the offense. John Olur. who is now at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, writes home to his par ents in this city telling of many thrilling incidents connected with the rorest tires in that locality, and saying that those who have never seen one of these fierce fires can comprehend the situation. The' are simply beyond describing. During one day John traveled thirty-five miles on foot to keep out of the fire, and the same day a woman with little child in arms, in lleeing to escape the fire fell into an old well, and both were drowned. Government agents secured all available men they could get to fight the fire, John being one of them, and the expe rience of those few days will make a lasting impression on the young lad.

An enterprising citizen of the city desires the Journal to suggest that waste paper boxes be placed at conven ient places along the sidewalks, where refuse can be placed instead of throwing it into the street Most of the larger towns in Nebraska have them, and sore ly Columbus does not want to be behind the procession in the matter of clean liness.
