The semi-annual meeting of the
Nebraska state superintendent and
principals association was held here
Friday evening and Saturday morning.
About fifty educators were present and
represented the educational portion of
our state in a very creditable manner.
j. T. Morey Of Kearney as presiding
officer, and Mrs. f. II. Bowen of Lincoln
as secretary should receive much credit
for their work. We would like to give
the account in detail as all were very
interesting and instructive, but lacking
the space, we are compelled to be brief.
Friday evening at the Congregational
church, "Graduation Exercises" and
"Needs of Normal Training" and RE
port from National Educational Associa-
ton" were the subjects for discussion,
all handled ably by the "pedagogues."
Saturday morning the association met in
the Thurston hotel parlor. SHOULD a
Superintendent or Principal confne his
to the High SCHOOL," and "Is
Spelling becoming a Lost Art?" were the
themes in hand. Discussion of the last
named subject was led by H. r. Corbett
of York, in a masterful way. The next
meeting will be held in the fall at Lin

After thirty-five years of continuous
and successful farming in Nebraska, Mr..
Murray, who lives about four miles west
of Columbus, is about to retire. Well,
what of it. Nothing, only that he has
easily made 100000 out of Nebraska
soil in that length of time. It has been
said that when Mr.. Murray came to
Platte county he had a shotgun and a
box of matches. He traded tho gun for
100 acres of land, and the matches con-
tanned enough birthstone to keep sheol
poppin' ever since. Be this true OF not,
Pat Murray is the most successful
farmer in Platte or any other county in
the state.1Humphrey Democrat.

The following paragraph from the
Lincoln Journal will be of interest to
the friends here of Nh. Becher:
Labor Commissioner Erion took
possession of his Office yesterday and
began preparations for a siege of hard
labor. Mn. Packard of st. Paul, Neb.,
will occupy the position of clerk in the
department. Mr.. Becher will be re-
tanned for a few days until the new oc-
cupants become accustomed to the
workings of the Office"

A safe must be a very good one
these days to be proof against burglars,
and if it is not that, it might best be left
accessible to them, and some business
men who have had their safes blown up,
and don't wish the experience duplicated
on them, put up some such sign prom
inently on their safe: Not Locked.
''This safe contains 10 money, no valu-
ables-only account books and private
papers," The truth is a sum of money
is safer almost anywhere else than in
the ordinary safe.

The Farmers club met at Mn. L. E.
Stewards April o. The discussion on
characterization OF Lawns was entered
into with considerable zest by most Of
the members present, and appropriately
closed with an essay on the Culture Of
Flowers, by Miss Nellie Young. The
Cultivation of Corn, led by A. w. Clark,
was discussed quite freely, but no new
theories advanced. R w. Young, when
telling US about the different kinds of
Bees, gave some interesting points. The
difference between the queen and her
workers is caused by the food that is
carried to her. Some call it royal jelly.
She has a sting but uses it very seldom.
1t was a surprise to some of us to learn
that after all, the most important use OF
the bee singer is not the singing. but
that it is really an exquisitively con-
trived little trowel, with which the bee
finishes off and caps the cells, when they
are full of honey, and that during this
final finishing stage Of the honey making,
the bees inject a minute portion of an
acid into the honey, which is in reality the
poison of the sting. This fOrmic acid is
said to give to the honey its peculiar
flavor, and also imparts to it keeping
qualities. Next meeting to be held at

Mrs. Jenness Miller, who has gained
some notoriety in her way, in an inter-
view the other day, had this to say Of
her sex, which truly is very severe
more SO than the ordinary satirists are !:
"Don't you know" said the fair dress
reform enthusiast, ''that a woman can
be better reached through her looks
than through her intelligence? Don't
you know that the average woman in
society cares more for her appearance
than for her souls salvation? Why, I
have known hundreds of women who
would rather commit suicide than be-
come passee. I know this, for I have
made woman a study"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Columbus Gentlemen Visit the Lively Little
City In West Nebraska.

Columbus Gentlemen Visit the L,vcly Little
City in West Nebraska
Tuesday evening of last week the
spirit Of progress carried q delegation OF
gentlemen westward to Dawson county
and introduced them to q very youthful,
and, az yet, very small city Of the plains,
brought to its present proud position by
the use Of brains, energy, and money
judicially invested. Later along, We
could hope that the same spirit of pro-
gress may be heard to say "Gothenburg,
allow me to introduce you to Colum-
bus"
The delegation arrived in the evening
and after supper visited lake Helen
which is the reservoir OF the canal, and
situated on the edge of the town-and
viewed the scene by moonlight.
Wednesday forenoon the party were
taken in carriages to the lake and several
miles into the country, and were shown
the manufacturing plants erected and
under way.
A brief description of the canal is that
it taps the Platte river, and winds in a
somewhat tortuOus course along the
face Of the bluffs for twelve miles, where
it ends in a reservoir of 143 acres (named
lake Helen.) EJust such lake could DO
formed straight north from the Union
Pacific freight depot in this city, where
the natural lay of the ground would
make it a comparatively easy place to
construct the south wall Of the lake..
The depth of the canal is 8 feet; width,
80 feet; fall, l foot to the mile; fall Of
river, rs feet to the mile; fall at the
wheel, 531H feet; capacity Of canal, $500
The fall Of the water at
tho power-house, into a turbine wheel
about as big as a good sized tub, gives
the power which is conveyed all over
the little city, wherever needed, for all
purposes for which power can be used,
and right here is where the modern way
comes in, because this conveying is done
by means of electricity-quick, inexpen-
sive and very convenient. As is le-
in the Gothenburg circular, set
Ting forth their advantages, "a saw-mill
right in a coal mine could not
have as cheap power as a mill
even five miles from a reliable water
power. This is due to inventions and
in electricity made within
the last five years."
The accounts given by all who have
Gothenburg and Kearney, too, |
agree in saying that nothing can excel
the canal-power scheme to place the
along these gently-sloping plains
in the front place as manufacturing |
,~enters, and the situation of Columbus
not excelled, if equaled, anywhere else
Nebraska.
We shall take occasion another time
to give additional items learned from the |
which visited GOthenburg, |
and to be learned by a special reporter
which The JOURNAL will send out. Co |
MUST HAVE this power, to !
keep pace with the procession, and she
will get it by the active cooperation of
her citizens who a be made to see it's
great benefits.
