A great many inquiries have recently been made by parties who desire to pur chase lands on the Pawnee reservation, when the sale will take place, and in what way it will be eo'.d. We are in possession of very little reliable informa tion upon the subject. It appears that the Secretary of the Interior has the control of the matter nnd is authorized to advertise and cause these lands to be sold at earns not lesB thnn the appraised value in any crbbT We do not fnrtber know the terms of the sale, whether for cash in hand or on deferred pay ments. We are not advised whether the sale will be conducted at public auction or private bids at the appraised valoe. Just now n large number of persona are seeking homes in Nebraska, and are muking anxious inquiry about the reservation lands. The fire northeast of town Monday night was a fearful looking night until the rain Bet in and quieted it down. The wind was high and the Jinnies pushed their way rapidly. At the foot of the bluffs, east of J. II. Keed'a it de stroyed two small stacks of hay for Pat Griffin, and sweeping westward it took in one small stack and three large ones (in all, probably one hundred and fifty tonBofhay). belonging to Mr. Reed. These last had been plowed around, a double line of fire guards, and those at them watching and Ghting the Ore were congratulating themselves on having saved them, when nil at once, and as quick as a man could turn his hand, the wind veered to the west and whirling the Haines backward climbed the stacks and consumed them. We learn that the same tire burned seven stacks for Mr. 8tenger and about four tons in cock for Mr. Reagan, four stacks for Mr. Crites, and Dan Sbedee lost a lot of corn, and it was only by the hardest work that his house and wheat stacks were saved.

Last Thursday there was a shooting affray foutbwest of Platte Center that might have ended fatally. The affair occured on the Mylet farm and the participants were J. W . Mylet and John Dalton. During the forenoon there had been a dispute over the division of the farm products, the Dal tons being rent ers on the Mylet farm. According to the version given the Journal, the My Iete, J. W. and his father, went to the place to make arrangements regarding the division of the crops and the first trouble started over some potatoes. This was for the time apparently settled but later there waB a dispute over the millet, which led to the shooting. This they could not agree on and the youn ger Dalton struck Mylet in the face, when he shot the aggressor in the ohin with a 22 calibre revolver. Dalton kept on coming at Mylet, when he received a second bullet, this taking effect in the side, but striking a rib and glancing. After the shooting Mylet came to Platte Center and gave himself up and later was taken to Columbus by Deputy Sheriff Burke. The wounded man was brought to the hospital in this city, but it is understood that since he has been able to return home. So far no com plaint has been filed againBt Mylet, and at present it looks as though none would be, as the wounded, man will be all right in a few days. Henry Inman, father of Emmett In mnn of this city, died at the hospital Friday morning, aged 05 years. Mr. Inman was born in Peru, 111., Novem ber 2, 1845, and in 18C8, he moved to Council Bluffs, la. In 1879 he located in Omaha and for twenty years was an employe of the Willow Springs distillery. Later he was employed by the school board, nntil poor health prevented him from continuing his work. Mr. Inman came to thia city with his son, who is conductor on the Spalding freight, and made his home with him, except for the two months he was at Portland. Ore., and other points in the west for bis health, having been sick with stomuch trouble, which caused his death. Since his return from the west his condition, instead of improving, became worse, and he was taken to the hospital for treatment. Seven children, five sons and two danghters, survive him, Wm. Inman of SL Louie, Emmett Inman of Columbus, Uny Inman of Emerson, Neb., Frank Inman of Lusk, Wyo., Walter Inman of Omnba, Mrs. J. J. Nelson of Omaha and Mabel Inman of Emerson. Funeral services were held Saturday from the home of Emmett Inman, Seventeenth and Speice streets, and were conducted by Rev. Ray of the Methodist church, nnd burial was in the Columbus cemetery. Monday evening the school board de cided to equip the high school building with a safety fire escape, of the same pattern as the one demonstrated at the Second ward building a short time ago. The other buildings will be provided with these escapes later. This year the teachers arc only asking for n leave of one day with pay so they can attend the stale teachers1 meeting. In former years this meeting has been held in Oc tober and the teachers given a two days leave with pay, but the date this year has been changed to Thanksgiving week, and as there is no school on Thursday and Friday of that week, the additional day will give them three days to attend the meeting. Hereafter the high school tnition for non-resident pupils will be $3 per month, the same as is paid by the district under the high nchool law. Formerly it was S2 per month and the scholar whose tnition was not paid by the district received it for less than other wise. Miss Clara Reeder was elected instructor of the physical science de partment. Elmer Guiles, living in the Okay neighborhood, northwest of Monroe, met with an accident last Thursday morning that resulted in his death a few hours later. He was working with a threshing crew and just as they were coming to the Guiles home place he was riding on the tongue of the separator. A sudden jolt threw him to the ground and be fell in front of the machine, and before it could be stopped ran partially over him, breaking his collar hune, and crushing him bo he died in the after noon. At first his injuries were not considered fatal, but it later developed that he bad been injured internally. Mr. Guiles, who was about forty-five years of age bad lived with his parents on the old home place for the last thirty years, and was unmarried. Funeral services were held Saturday at the Okay chnrch and burial was in the New Hope cemetery. John Kyle, from Loup township, was in the city Tuesday, and in speaking of the conditions during the last season said something occurred this year that bad not before in his forty years' resi dence in Platte county the west side of the old Barnum pasture became so dry this summer that it was impossible for cattle to find grass and they were compelled to eat the green leaves of the trees. Located as this pasture is, be tween the two rivers, and the distance to water being very little, it is surpris ing that these conditions existed. Miss Minnie Glur of the Journal force returned home Sunday evening after a month's holiday spent with relatives in Omaha and at other points in the eastern 1 1 part of the 6tate.

A sudden stop ot the freight train on which he was breaking, caused Frank Missick to be thrown against the car, and he sustained a broken nb. which will prevent him from working for some time. Joe Martes, who has been employed at the Union Pacific coal shed, sustain ed a fall last Friday, which resulted in two broken ribs for him. Just how the accident happened, no one seems to know, as he was alone when it occurred.

Wood Smith of Fnllerton has leased the Fiizpatrick building on Thirteenth street, and will open up a five and ten cent store, such as they have in the larger cities.

Frank Richter, a former Platte county boy, was in the oity last Saturday on his way to bis home in Winona, Washington, where his father, Andrew Richter, moved to from the Postville neighborhood eight years ago. Frank has been working in Omaha and vicinity for some time, but goes to Washington to remain aa he likes that locality very well. Frank Davis ot Oklahoma Oity was in the city a few days last week visiting relatives and shaking hands with old time friends. It has been twenty-one years since Frank left Nebraska, and during that time has wandered over most of the United States and Canada. In all his travels he tells us thst he has saw nothing that looked better to him than Nebraska does at present, and that Columbus has improved more than any small city he knew of. A meeting ot the Commercial club has been called for this (Wednesday) even ing to arrange for the opening of the new Platte river bridge, some time this month. It is the intention ot the pro moters to make this a big event for Columbus, and also a welcome to those on the south side ot the river who have been compelled to go elsewhere since early in the spring. A definite program will be decided on at the meeting and it is quite probable that the day will be one of the events of the year in this city. NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1910.

Clip this schedule and keep it in your pocket. Congregational Church. We sometimes hear men say. "I am as good as the church member.' The pro position reels on what goodness is. If goodness ia negative; if it is simply keeping ones self oleitn, pure, we might grant the claim. Christ's view-point of goodness is serrice. The best helper is the beet man. Patriotism bares its arms in country's cause; philanthropy seeks the needs; knowledge finds its ex pression in serviceable activity and Christ tells us that goodness is not wrapping ones talent in a napkin and keeping it clean and secure, but invest ing it in noble service. The church offers the largest opportunity for service of any organization today. Its Gj!d is unliantcd. Its opportunity outstrips its capacity because so large a per cent of men shrink from under the obligation and leave the burden on the few. We must contend that the active worker in the church is a belter man than the idler without. Next Sunday morning our pastor will speak from the subject: Praiseworthy Virtues. This theme will be discussed in the light of christian ethics. You cannot afford to miss this service. We shall be glsd to greet you. Route No. 4. Cbas.
