"A literary society was organ
lied Friday evening by the pupils of
Prof. Crsmer's school. Twenty
five names were enrolled; "Vollie"
Weaver was elected president, and
Lille Rsgatz secretary. Such So
cieties, when properly conducted,
are among the best of schools.
--One hundred beautiful paintings

! effects on the lakes of Killarney,

Groi'o and three allegorical pictures
ireland as she was i'm her glory !;
ireland as she is, captive bound in
chains; and Ireland as we hope to
see her.
The tax on dogs goes into the
school-fund, and for this county
ought to amount to considerable
sum. Can some of our officials tell
us the state of dogdom in this county
how many there are, and how
much they add to the school-fund
One of our friends says that there
are more actual dogs than dogs that
are taxed.
Every farmer thinks he ought
to have the privilege of saying who
shall pasture on his land, but now
and then you will find a man who
would like to have the exclusive
benefit" of any land lying around
loose, as it were. Every man wants
| his own, and fortunate is the COM
munity when all are disposed to
give eacn MS own.
"A boy about seventeen years
old was arrested here Monday morn
ing by officers Huber and Wake on
charge of stealing $55 from a man
on Cedar river. The money was
recovered, which is probably the
reason that we could not learn the
names and other particulars. The
telegram was received Sunday night.
We again advise scamps of every
grade to steer for Columbus if they
wish to be caught.
There is no piece of machinery
that the farmer buys that he can
think SO well of as good wind
mill, and none that pays better in
vestment. Among all the mills sold,
the Halliday stands in the front
rank. w. III. Lawrence, opposite
the poet office, sells this mill, and he
will give you satisfaction in any
work he contracts to do. in his line
of business, mills, pumps, tubing,
&c. Give him call.
On Thursday last Charles Bader,
considerably the worse for liquor,
started from Columbus for his home
i'm Shell Creek precinct. He drove
pretty lively pair of mules, and he
passed several teams on his way
home. When within about two
miles of home one of the springs to
his wagon seat broke, and he was
precipitated 10 the ground, the blood
gushing out of his nose, ears and
eyes. He lay there all night, and,
when found he was frozen stark. In
the darkness of the night several
teams had passed him, but his wife
was the first to find him, which she
did at about s o'clock on Friday
morning.
We are informed that Colo
RADIO dealer has sold quite number
of scabby sheep in the western part
of the State. If the present laws of
Nebraska are not adequate to rem
edy this evil $50 far as law can be
adequate) there ought to be addi-
tional legislation, because there is
no industry known to our people
that will begin to compare with that
of sheep husbandry when once under
way, and the infected fiOcks of the
west must not be allowed to over
run us, and destroy this industry.
Only those can know what the NAL
ady is and what costly nuisance it
is, who have had experience with it
in large flocks of sheep.
AS shelters are not all yet built
for the winter, and as there are some

matters as they would like to be,
we give the following as very
common method: uprights should
be good, stout posts, six inches in
diameter for sheep, hogs and calves
and at least 4x6 for cattle. For the
former, the roof at the lowest part,
should be three feet high, and for
cattle seven feet from the ground
to the roof. Eighteen inches or two
feet is not too deep to plant the
posts, which should always be up
right, because thus they have the
greatest sustaining power. In
