Our old friend Joe Camp has started
another newspaper. We do not know
the number of Joe's ventures, hut it is
said that he has brought more papers
into existence than any other man on
earth. This new one comes from Gol
conda, Nevada, and is called the Bustler.
Very appropriate name, for it Ots Joe
like a bathing suit. Mention the name
of Joe Camp to a group of old timers
and you can start a flow of yarns longer
than from here to where be now resides.
Joe was born in Georgia, but no one
ever held him responsible for that. In
his younger days his first ambition was
to own a "coon" dog, and of course no
one blamed him for that, because he
came from a "coon" country. If memory
serves us right he had more dogs than
there were coons in all Nebraska. Then
the chicken fever struck him Gghting
chickens yon may be sure. And rust
ling around Joe soon had the price, and
off to "good old Georgia" he sends for
the"lightingest"lot of chickens most any
one ever saw. And those chickens made
Joe a reputation, for not long after that
"Bud" Newman secured him as foreman
of his large poultry ranch on the banks
of what is now the black ice house
slough. Those were glorious days for
Joe. But "Bud" had an idea that eggs
were not coming his way fast enough,
and an inspiration coming to him sud
denly one dark night, that whole poul
try farm disappeared as though swept
away by flood. Since then Joe has
rustled as a printer, and those who know
him will be pleased to hear of any good
luck that may come his way.
Last Thursday forenoon, Mr. Clayton
Stafford of Elmont, California, and Miss
Louise Marie Marty were united in
marriage at the home of the bride's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Marty, on east
Eleventh Btrect, Rev. R. Neumarkcr of
the German Reformed church officiating.
Besides the family, Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Thomas of Duncan were the only invited
guests. After the ceremony a wedding
dinner was perved, and the bride and
groom left for Omaha on an nfternoon
train. They passed through this city
Friday enroute to California, where Mr.
Stafford conducts a fruit farm at Elmont.
On the evening before the wedding Mr.
and Mrs. Marty received a few friends to
introduce Mr. Stafford. The bride is
the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Marty and enjoys a wide circle of friends
in this city, where she has grown to
womanhood. Mr. Stafford ia a stranger
here, having met bis bride during her
stay iu EI Paso, Texas, last winter, their
acquaintance culminating in the wed
ding. About 2 o'clock last Friday afternoon,
Ben Goon, colored, who with his wife
has been stopping nt the home of Mark
Lnwrey, in the southwest part of the
city, attempted to kill Mrs. Goon by
cutting her throat with a razor. He
succeeded in inflicting an ugly wound,
and supposing he had killed her, took a
dose of carbolic acid and died in a short
time. The Goons came here from Nor
folk, where his folks reside, and have
been in the city for some time. It is
supposed that trouble between the two
was the cauee for the deed, although
evidence in this line was lacking at the
inquest. Mrs Goon's injuries will not
prove fatal and she ia now recovering
from the effects of the attack. Saturday
morning Coroner Gass held an inquest
over Goon and the jury returned a ver
dict in accordance with the facts above.
His relatives from Norfolk came down
and bad the body sent to that place for
burial, returning with it on the Saturday
evening train.
Arthur M. Jennings, a former resident
of this city, died at Fitzgerald, Georgia,
Sunday a week ago. The only particu

George Bloedorn, who had his leg am
putated at the Mayo hospital in Ro
chester, Minn., September 3, ib getting
along nicely and stood the operation
very well. .Hia father, Martin Bloedorn,
who was with him at the time of the
operation, said that his vitality in with
standing the shock was surprising, even
to the surgeons, who thought be was too
weak to undergo the ordeal. Mr. Bloe
dorn says that the pain George suffered
from the limb before amputation was as
great as that of the operation. Mm.
Bloedorn, who is with him now, will
take care of him until his return home.
This week he was removed from the
hospital and secured more suitable
quarters during his convalescence.

Union Pacific have at last completed the
improvements on their water service at
this place. Last week the new cranes
were installed, but when the twelve inch
pipes were laid there was some of it
defective, and when the pressure of the
return water was turned on several leaks
were in evidence. The increased pres
sure by the elevating of the tank seven
feet made the difference, and not until
three breaks had been repaired did the
remaining pipes hold the pressure.
Under the new system not over two
minutes are required to fill the tank of
an engine, while formerly it required
from eight to ten minutes, and some
times longer.

Satarday saw the wiadap of the base
ball season for the state league, and Co-
lumbae landed in second place, with
Kearney third and Grand Jslaad fourth.
Fremont cinched the pennant a week
ago, and the fight among the three high
teams was for second place.
At the meeting of the directors of the
state league, held in Fremont last Wed
nesday, four protested games, three won
by Columbus from Fremont, and one
won by Fremont front Oolnmbue, were
thrown ont. Those credited to Colum-
were protested on the ground that this
team was carrying too many players at
the time they were played, but Manager
Corbett says this is an error, as at no
time did he have more than thirteen
men on his team, and has ample proof
of this. The game credited to Fremont
and played here was protested on the
ground that the visiting team returned
a player to the game after he had been
taken out. Regarding the games credit
ed to Columbus, the local management
expect to take this np at the next meet
ing of the board of directors, to be held
in Hastings Wednesday of this week,
and try and retain credit for them.
Whether or not the board gives these
games to Columbus, it will not affect
their position, as they are in second
place anyway.
For the windup of the season, Colum
bus, after taking two games from Se
ward, also took the last two played on
the home grounds, from Fremont
Grand Island, who had been making a
desperate effort to hold second place,
used every means to win from Colum
bus in the two last games of the season,
played at Grand Island, bnt they lost
the first one, last Jriday, and this gave
Columbus second place In the second
game, on Saturday, Boewell was substi
tuted for Flemiog as umpire, and to this
the home boys Isy their defeat, as after
the first third of the game they saw that
they were getting the worst of it.
During the season just closed, Colum
bus has more than exceeded the expec
tations of the fans in their patronage of
tbe national game, and should the state
league play next season, whioh it un
doubtedly will. Columbus will be rep
resented. Sunday, Humphrey was to play here.
but for some reason they seat word the
could not come, and the Shelby team
came over and played an exhibition
game.
Monday evening tbe ball team was
given a benefit dance at the Orpheus
hall, whioh was. largely attended.

"I can be a christian without- attend
ing church," is a standing proposition
with a certain class of men. Without
doubt there is much truth in the state
ment, just as a man can be a citizen
without exercising the right of franchise
or enjoy the benefits of a commnnity
without sharing its burdens It is not
all a question of individual benefit or
convenience but primarily a qurstion of
community. The church dm-s not
stand for a few men and women but for
the good of the community. Even the
man who professes no love for the
church would hardly deein to do without
the influence of organized christian
effort. A few men and women in everv
church bear the burden of the work.
they gather and disburse the momn ,
have the oversight of the property, bear
the burden of the Sabbath services, they
teach in the Sabbath school and give
their help at funerals. My fellow man,
do you do yonr duty to your community
and to your God and. to your family when
you leave yonr children in the Snnday
school to be cared for and taught by
others while yon shrug your shoulders
and say: "I can be a christian without
going to church?" A more honest and
manly question would be, can the church
do without me? Can I help in making
this commnnity better? Think of this
frankly and answer it manfully and
come next Sunday to the Congregational
church and worship with us. Tbe pas
tor has a message for yon. In tbe morn
ing, 11 o'clock, tbe subject will be Life's
Greatest Asset. Of the evening, 8 o'clock,
subject will be "Does it Pay to Be a
Christian?"
