THE Chicago papers and grain dealers
have all along boon decryiog tho river route
for grain to New Orleans, declaring that the
grain conveyed in barges and then transfer
red to ships would sweat and be damaged.
People at all familiar with the Mississippi
river trade have known all the time that this
was not true, bu! M experiment recently
made has settled tho point decisively. A lot
of wheat was shipped from Minnesota to
Glasgow, Scotland, going down the Missis-
sippi in bsrges. A cablegram received few
dayss announces its arrivsl at Glasgow in
good condition. Not only is the river route
better one for wheat aud other grain, bu,
is quicker by several days and cheaper by a
very handsome margin.

that such an action as he proposed would be

There can be no better evidence than these

Nearly Fatal.

A fight occurred last Wednesday
afternoon southeast of Duncan, this
county, that proved very nearly fatal
10 one of the men engaged. We
very much dislike TO record such
matters, but complete local history
of the county would be out Of the
question by their omission.
Peter Klanschi aud M. OHcrne
are farmers living near each other
southeast of Duncan, and near the
Platte river. Between them lies a
tract of land belonging to a non-
resident, over which the cattle of
both pass to get water at the river.
Klanschi, as we are informed, claim
ed that he had rented this land, and
forbade others from crossing over it !;
they claimed he had no more right
TO ii than anybody else, and so felt
free to do as they have done.
The affair of Wednesday Last was
the third of a series between the
same men in the last two weeks,
Klanschi having twice run O'Herne,
with a large knife in hand, one time
when O'Herne was riding a stubborn
mule that he couldn't compel TO go
fast, and when he was afraid that
Klanschi, any moment, would plunge
his knife into him. He, however,
escaped unhurt both times.
The last time, klsnschi appeared
at the line with a gun and spade,
having sent word previously by a
boy $50 we are credibly informed)
that if O'Herne drove his stock down
there he would shoot him.
When O'Herne did go down, he
says that klanschi pointed his gun
at him. After this there is nothing
positive except the condition of the
men after the afl'ray. O'Herne is
unscratched, and Klanschi was fear
fully pounded, particularly on the
head and face. DIR. Hoehen, the
surgeon who dressed his wounds,
says that there are fourteen holes in
his head and face, and that his lungs
are badly affected; one of his ears
has two cuts in it; his eyes were
fearfully bunged mp, and for several
days he could neither speak nor STE.
The DR.. tells us that he is now con-
siderably better.
Complaint was entered before
Justice Millett of this place, by
Charles Wake, April 9th, against
O'Herne, charging assault and bat
terry, and the case set for hearing
May 18th at 81 a. m, it being sup
posed that Klanschi would not sa>e
able to appear as a witness before
that time.

School Matters.

The school Board elected under
the new law met Monday evening,
at the Office of Speice & North, and
organized by electing c. A. Speice,
President, Marshall Smith, Vice
President and VIM. Burgess, Sec'y.
Those to serve fer the long and
short terms were selected by lot, as
follows: Long term, M. Smith, j.
q. Higgins, A. M. Post; short term,
w. A. McAllister, G. A. Speice,
VIM. Burgess.
Messrs. Smith and Higg ins were
appointed a committee to confer
with the old school Boards, and
ascertain the condition of the finan-
ces, and report at the next meeting.
Some discussion was had as to
what, pupils should attend the diff
erent schools, but it was concluded
best to allow the pupils to attend as
they had been, refunding any money
paid for tuition for the current term
by any city pupil.
Messrs. Higgins and Smith were
appointed q committee on supplies
and repairs.
Miss Louise Bauer, who has taught
the north school of the district, and
given general satisfaction, as was
evidenced by testimonials from pat
rons of the school during the winter,
was .continued as teacher for two
months, at s31 month.
1t was ordered that the roof on
brick school house be painted.
Leave of absence was given to

asked for by them.

CrestOn.

DEAR JOURNAL: CrestOn, like al !
the rest of the world, has thawed
ont, but unlike large portion of it,
unvisited by disasters from floods;
being far above high water mark
we were beyond any cause of appre-
hension, but not above sympathizing
with the sufferers.
The benign influence Of Sol has
gradually loosened the hold of old
Winter, and farmers are taking ad-
vantage of the pleasant weather to
get small grain in the ground; many
acres have been sown within a few
days. The grass and trees show
signs of life, and the singing of
birds is heard in the land.
We were well pleased to see your
editorial upon the mass huDabug; we
were sorry to see it printed in a
paper so much respected as yours
without word of disapproval. 1t
should be considered a serious Of
fence for any person to utter such a
so called prophecy for the sake of
notoriety. There are no doubt many
weak minds who will be sadly har-
rassed and distressed by it.
The delegates from this place to
the Presbytery came home with
glowing accounts of the good time
enjoyed in your pleasant city; they
received so much benefit and hospi-
tality that the next time zoe aciU all
come.

Speaking roughly, the line of
the new route of railroad between
Columbus and Lost Creek, may be
designated as follows: take the map
of the county, lay down a ruler so
that one end will rest on a point in
the city 100 rods north of the S. f.
corner of section "a, and the other
end 50 rods west from the n. f.
corner of 9, and draw a straight line
thus through "a, IL, IA, II, 10; and
then a line due west from there
south of the section lines, through 9,
s, Z, Il, III to Lost Greek will fairly
represent the route. with of course
a curve instead of the angle.
