Three deer were killed by a party of
hunters who went from thiB city last
week up the Loup.
The first month after the grass is kill
ed ia allowed to lie the very hardest of
the year on stork, ami therefore they
should now have extra care.
Fortunate is the man who has plent
of money to buy fuel for the winter, and
fortunate ia the woman whose husband
provides a dry place to kip it.
While crossing the Ioup bridge the

vident farmer (who is uetting to be a
more numerous individual every year),
will see to it that his stock have shelter
from the pelting storms ir winter A
good "stitch" in time may save from nine
to forty-nine. Ue who can should
have a tight board or shingle roof over
his sheds, the necessity for which has
been demonstrated over and over again
during the last two winters. The late

lived in this state a number of years
and was a resident of O'Neil, and was
deputy sheriff of Holt county at the time
of tho Barrett Scott trouble, and as an
officer had much to do with it. Mr.
O'Neil afterward went west where he
engaged in mining, and was only mod
erately successful. He has been in the
city a number of times and has a num
ber of acquaintances here. Funeral ser
vices were held Wednesday afternoon
from St. Bonavenlura's church, being
conducted by llev. Father Marcelinus
and burial was in the parish cemetery.
John ltiley, for forty years a resident
of Platte county, died Monday evening

parently well, but in a short time he
took sick and died. Mr. Riley was born
in England in March, 13&I. He came
to America and about 187o settled on a
farm near Platte Center. Here he lived
until he moved to Columbus, about six
years ago. Besides his wife he leaves
one son. Lin ltiley, of Hershey, Neb.,
and six daughters. Mrs. Mary Mislonka

Colorado, Mrs. Kate Coupons on Shell

lic cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Niewohner have
issued card announcing the marriage

Herman J. Kersenbrock in Omaha,
Wednesday, October 12. To intimate
friends the wedding was no surprise, as
it was known that it had been planned
for thiB fall. Mr. and Mrs. Kersenbrock
returned to this city Saturday evening,
and are receiving the congratulations of
their many friends. They have taken
rooms at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O.
S. Uaney, on Fourteenth street, wLere
they will lw at home. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Ki-n-enbrock are well known in this
city, the bride being the only daughter

groom is at present a traveling salesman
for an Omaha candy house, with head-J

Last Saturdny nf ternnon H. It. Lundy
of Silver Creek started for Columbus to
visit his dam-liter. Mrs. L. A. Gates,
and as the Denver train, No. 10, stopped
at Silver Creek that day, he boarded it.
The next seen of him was when the
switch engine crew found him lying un
conscious, just south of the coal chute,
and had him taken to a physician's office.
Just how the accident happened, no one
knows, as Mr. Lundy ia still unconsci
ous at the home of his daughter, al
though two traveling men are reported
to have seen him fall from the tram.
Mr. Lundy ia well known in this cityt
having been in business here twenty
years ago. He is now fS years of age,
and this makes his accident nil the more
serious.
Tuesday morning about 2:'i0 two barns
at Sixth and North streets, burned to
the ground. When the tire was dis
covered it had gained enough headway
so that the firemen conld do nothing but
protect the adjoining property. The
tire orginntcd in the larger barn, which
belonged to Paul Kobns, and contained
stall room for twenty head of horses.
The smaller barn, which was close to it
belonged to Paul Konsenski, and caught
tire from the other building. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but it is probable
that either the alfalfa in the Inrger barn
or a bolt of lightning during the storm
preceding tho lire, was responsible for it
Both of the buildings were insured.
D. T. Kelby, the deaf mute who as
suited Conductor Mnpps of the Norfolk
passenger when he attempted to prevent
him from stealing a ride Tuesday of last
week, was brought to this city by De
puty Sheriff Burke last Tuesday even
ing, and Wednesday afternoon given a
hearing before Police Judge O'Brien.
Kelby did not plead guilty and the crew
of the passenger train were witnesses
against him. The testimony showed
that he was attempting to steal a ride
and the judge concluded that fifteen
days in the county jail and the costs
would be about what he had coming, bo
he will board out his sentence.
Last week Postoffice Inspector Lind
land was in the city looking over the

ing for an additional carrier working
five hours a day. This will give quite a

is received by Postmaster Kramer.

Congregational Church.
It is often said: "one is not responsi
ble for the lack of christian interest, that
one does not control his desires or affec
tions, and that the obristian life is a
service or love, not law." The state
ment seems sound until applied to the
common things of life . The lack of love
for knowledge does not excuse ignorance;
the want of love for law observance does
not atone for lawlessness. It is when we
apply this excuse to the fundamental
thing of manhood it breaks down. One
takes the initiative in life as the result of
impressions. If one were to pnt himself
in the best possible position to receive
impressions and then wonld live accord
ing to his best light and come to the end
of life without being an ardeut christian
be might argue he was not responsible
for his lack of christian interest. Until
then this excuse will not stand the test
of practical application. Here is the
worth of a church in the community.
In worship one puts himself in the
most favorable attitude to receive im
pressions for christian living.
The Congregational people invite you
to worship with them next Sunday morn
ing and evening. In the morning, 11

Last spring L. F. Pbillipps concluded
to try an experiment with Angora goats,
placing them on Buck island for the
purpose of cleaning off the growth of
underbrush. He boogot 147 of the goats
and turned them loose on the island;
and the result of his experiment has
been very satisfactory. Dnring the sum
mer he lost but one of the animals, and
the remainder have done exceedingly
well, and are in fine condition for winter
Mr. Pbillipps says that the goats did
not clear up the underbrush as well
he anticipated, owing to the fact that
there were not enough of them, and he
expects to sooner or later replace them
with sheep. During the summer he
was bothered very little by the dogs,
and not at ail by coyotes, and the latter
will not attack a goat unless very hun
gry. When be puts sheep on the island
he will be compelled to afford more pro
tection to them as the dogs and coyotes
may cause him considerable loss. His
henl of goats is in fine condition for
market and he may conclude to turn
them off soon. His experience with the
goats in this locality will be of benefit
to many, as he has demonstrated that
they can be very profitably handled in
this section of Nebraska.
Since the publication by Edgar Ho
ward in the Telegram of the charges
against Hitchcock in connection with
the Hartley defalcation, each day has
brought forth additional and conclusive
evidence that they are well founded.
An the democratio state headquarters
are in this city, quite naturally there
would he more interest taken here than
elsewhere, and all are awaiting further
developments in the case. Mr. Howard's
attitude in the matter has brought ont
much adverse criticism from democrats,
but he is persistent in his effort to com
pel Hitchcock to withdrawn from the
race for United States senator. The
Lincoln Journal has the following com
ment on Mr. Howard's position. This
bolt of Edgar Howard is unusual. Ho
ward has followed bis party's lesd when
it required swallowing mighty bitter
medicine to do so. When Governor
Holcomb was forced on democracy as a
candidate for supreme judge by the po-pnl-.sts
and free silver republicans Ed
gar Howard rebelled before the nomina
tion was made, but be swung into line
later. In the convention that named
Holcomb for supreme judge, held in
Omaha. Mr. Howard made a hard fight
on the lloor to defeat such action.
When the nomination had been accom
plished while the convention was in an
uproar and while Mr. Howard himself
was the center of a group of his party
leaders, protesting against the wisdom
of such an act, a reporter asked. "Mr.
Howard, yon have fought Governor Hol
comb in the convention and he has been
nominated; will you oppose bis election?"
Mr. Howard turned half around in that
slow, measured way in which he moves
and talks, turned a withering gaze on
his questioner and replied: 'Young
man, I am a democrat; where my party
leads I follow."
