If one delegate had changed hi vote Saturday "Hill" Gcrhold would have been nominated for County Commissioner of Platte county. II. J. Hudson has opened out in bin new business place on 12th street. "We are pleased to note that his business is steadily increasing. ThcPhow wanted two columns of advertising in this issue. Al though in need of money wc couldn't nffnrd to sell them that amount of spare. .las. T. Force, of Shell creek, wc learn, sowed three bushels of win ter wheat from which he cut ami threshed, this harvest, 50 bushels of good wheat. M. Smith leaves us a curiosity Jn theshapeof two potatoes,through both of which a very singular kind of grass has growu aud out of which It has sprouted. Hard-money Democrats came home from Lincoln with "a flea in their car." "Where, oh where, was Doctor Miller! Did that conven tion sit down on hitn? A. X. Burgess on last Monday bought out the interest of his part ner, C. E. Chapin, in the furniture business. The style of the firm is not altered by the change. On last Friday night a learn fell through the bridge on the cast end of 13th street. Considerable com plaint has reached us in regard to the condition of that bridge. Last Friday night James Mc Donald's barber 6hop was broken into by burglars and considerable property in the shape of razors and 4 coat belonging to one of the bar bers stolen. Pick-pockets were quite numer ous at the State Fair. Mr. "Woods of Colfax county lost $16, besides valuable notes aud papers through the manipulations of the light-fin gered gentry. ''Boston Davis" (Columbus's fa vorite), won the four-year-old race at the State Fair, which made all the "boys" so happy that they ran up aud down the track singing the well-known ballad "O, Yes!" Henry Gass' business house, which has for several years stood opposite the Court House, has been removed to 11th street, one door cast of Rickly's Meat Market, and will be occupied by Samuel Gass. R. H. Henry, the present Co. Commissioner from Dist. No. 1, re ceived a re-nomination from his Democratic brethren on Saturday last, by a vote of nine to "Wm. Ger hold's eight. It is a little strange to us that upon men so unequal the convention should be so nearly equal. Michael Killoren had good luck with his first crop of wheat in Ne braska, having turned out 24 bushels to the acre. He sowed the Tea variety. Burr Bobbins' 6how Monday Oct. 7th, 1S7S, contains the best per formers and the most living animals now traveling in this or any other country. A new post-office has been established on the Pawnee Reserva tion called Cedar River, and O. E. Stearns has received the appoint ment as post-master. John "Wise, Esq., found on the road betwecu hi? residence and Co lumbus a leather trace or tug. The owner will find the article at tho Jouiixal. office where he can prove property and take it away. Ground has beeu broken for the new Prcsbyterain church, which is to be of brick, and 24x48 feet. It is expected that the building will be completed in ninety days. Marshall Smith has the contract at $1850. It seemed impossible for either Sprerry or Gerhold to receive tho nomination of Commissioner, but time will tell whether they have the disposition or the power to defeat the nominees of the Democratic con vention. In the Democratic convention last Saturday our editorial brother Henslcy received just five votes in all the county, aud they were from Columbus precinct. It is said that Judge Higgins's powerful aid secur ed the nomination of Crites. "Wc have heard it very broadly asserted that Henslcy was traded ofl for GerholJ at the convention last Saturday. As wc hold that it is tho chief business of an edilcr to keep lies out of his paper, we don't say that this is true, but wc believe it is. Mr. J. M. Alderson sold last week a fat hog to David Anderson, of this city, which weighed 700 lbs. This hog was of the Chester "White breed, aud was only two years old. Mr. Anderson thinks this porker hard t beat, taking into account his age and weight. "Will Gcrhold run indepen dent?" was one of the leading ques tions Saturday. "We acknowledge to some little interest in knowing jut how many votes ho would re ceive in Platte county. Is any well- informeud Democratic politician able to enlighten us? The Ei'a's Boy up a Slump seems considerably worried con cerning a Mr. Uriah Heap, "one bald-headed, town -i-chenier, wily aud slimy." We don't know any body of that name, but he must be "a awful being" to frighten a fat "big boy" up a stump. Better crawl down and scratch gravel." Next Friday, Oct. 4th, the Franciscans will celebrate the feast of the founder of the order, St. Francis of Assisium. The lirt mass will be at half past fire a. in., the second at 7, the third at S, and at 10 o'clock solemn high mass witli deacon aud sub-dcacou. In the afternoon at '.) o'clock, vespers aud benediction. Jacggi & Schnpbach, successors to A. Henry, lumber dealers, are doing a heavy business in the lum ber trade, judging from the amount of lumber that daily leaves their yard, which is immediately replaced b large daily invoices. They are selling at bed-rock prices for cash. If you want lumber it will pay you to trade with them. S. L. Barrett, who received the nomination for State Superintend ent of Schools on the Democraclic ticket, doesn't purpose loosing any time or money over the campaign. He probably thinks that ten thous and is a pretty considerable major ity to overcome, and in such an opinion he would be eminently cor rect. "Whatever prospect a Demo cratic nominee may have in Platte countv, 1.' has but little show in the Sfatc. Last Sunday a drove of four hundred feeding steers driven from "Wyoming Territory, passed through Columbus for Iowa, where they will be fatteucd this winter. These cattle are owned by Mr. Templcton, of Jefferson count', Iowa, who pur chased them in the west for two cents a pound. "We learn that our cattle man, Mr. David Anderson sold to Mr. Templcton a nice lot of feeders that will average 1200 lbs. to the steer, at good figures and purchased from Mr. Tcmplcton's herd a nice lot of two-year-olds. Consternation was carried into a household on 13th street on Monday by a musk-rat that invaded the premises and boldly entered the house, occupied only by the female members of the family. Possession was easily gaiued one combined scream and whisk of skirts, aud his ratship was in quiet possession of one apartment of that house, where he was found by the bold rescuer who hastily accompauicd the one lady who had the presence of mind to run and "call a man," and instant ly dispatched, releasing from their self-imprisonment the ladies under lock and key in au adjoining apart ment. One little incident shows the prcdomiuent characteristic of the mistress of that household. "While the club that was to deal death to the marauder was poised for the blow, the arm was stayed by the cry, "Oh, don't kill it cm the car pet!" But that rat chose to play the role of carpet kuight, aud met his fliiiicrnr. nml fnimil liis iloifti in tlm parlor. The "Man up a Tree" in the Era last week lost his balance and fell into the mud. Sad, sad, but he needn't blame farmers for it. Al though we do nearly all our farming by proxy, it grieves even us and yet amuses us, too, to sec the air of su perior wisdom aud shrewdness assumed by this Man up a Stump, and the patronizing pat upon the shoulder which he administers to the farmer, while at the same time he calls him "a slave, his wife a drudge, and his children mere automatons." One of our Democratic friends rather upbraided us last week for occupying so much of our valuable space for the benefit of his party. The only excuse wc have, but it is a good one, is ihat wc take a lively interest in the welfare of our neigh bors. Wc could not bear to sec them waste their time in holding twice as many caucuses and conven tions as were customary and neces sary, without interfering with a mild and altogether friendly nega tive ; but our counsel was not fol lowed, and hence our preserved candidate, Hensley, was converted into pickle, at the suggestion of all the country precincts. The Nursery for October is a delight in every respect, stories, poetry and pictures. The editor says to his little readers "Our Oc tober number will, wo think, find some eager readers among the chil dren. The pictures, too, arc well suited to their tastes. 'The Chow der Party' is drawn from life. 'How it Rains' shows two piteous little faces. The account of 'Turtle catching' will be found interesting. 'Looking out for Number One' car ries a good moral against selfishness. 'The Hornet's Nest' by Marian Douglas is worth the whole year's subscription." New subscribers for '79 whose names and money arc scut the publisher before November next will receive the last three numbers of 78 free. $1.G0 a .year, single copy, 15 cts. John L. Sliorey, 30 Bromfield street, Boston, Mass. At the Democratic Convention, held at the Court House in this city last Saturday, A. "W. Crites, Esq., was nominated for representative by a vote of 12 to 5 over W. N. Hensley, editor of the Columbus Era. R. II. Henry, present County Commis sioner, was rc-nominatcd. The in formal ballot resulted as follows: Win. Gerhold, 5; R. II. Henry, 9; W. N. Henslcv. 1 : II. T. Sixerrv. 1. On the formal ballot R. II, Henry received 9 votes aud Win. Gcrhold 8. The six delegates elected to the Float convention were as follows: C. A. Speice, S. L. Barrett, G. A. Scliorteder, John Eusilcn, J. G. Iliguins, Guy Bariiutn. -The dele gates to the 14th Scnaloriul District convention were as follows: II. T. Spu'iry, W. N. Hensley, J. E. North, M. Mahcr, E. D. Shcehan and John Uickly. The Woman's Christian Tem perance Union held a meeting at the Congregational church last Sabbath evening, which was largely attended and much interest manifested in the proceedings. Mrs. C. S. Reed, president of the Temperance Union in P'atte county, gave a detailed and interesting account of the pro ceedings of the State convention, which was recently held at Fremont and which she attended as a dele gate from this county. Rev. Chris tison and Rev. Sherman delivered short aud appropriate remarks on the occasion, aud Mrs. Sherman read a very interesting selection. The president also announced that the annual meeting of the "Woman's Christian Temperance Uniou would be held in the Methodist church next Saturday at 3 o'clock i m. As ' - - 7 . the officers and committees for the year will be elected at this meeting, it is very desirable that all the mem bers should be in attendance. N. Millctt is enthusiastic over the State Fair. lie has attended a great many fairs, and he says that the display of machinery he never saw equalled. The fine cattle were excellent, Daniels of Sarpy county taking the best prizes. The Aldcr ney and Jersey cows and hulls were as good as he ever saw. Sheep, both fiue-woolcd aud coarse, were good, and the hogs were splendid. A novel species attracted considera ble attention the Red Jersey, a pig the color of a new-burnt brick. Mr. Millctt is very enthusiastic in praise of Nebraska fruit, characterizing it as the handsomest and best he ever saw, anywhere. Language, he says, can not describe it as it appeared to him; apples, a vast variety, and pears, grapes and plums. He saw nml admired the stove that has been invented for burning hay, straw, etc., aud thinks it a success. He de scribes it as something like the common stove except that there are two places for the reception of tubes about seven inches in diameter pushed in from the back part, open at the front end and closed by a cap at the rear; to the inside of this cap is attached a strong spring, which, constantly pushing on the hay stuffed into the tube, continually feeds the flame at the other end. These tubes contain about three pounds each of hay, and dozens of them can be quickly filled and kept for use. Mr. M. denounces in very strong terms the numerous gamb ling devices that were allowed within the inclosure, as the only objectionable feature of the Fair, and a disgrace to the management wmeu snoulu uever be repeated. J Pcwonal. "Willie Snyder of Colfax county is in the city. Loucy Kramer was down from Silver Creek Sunday. George Lehman returned home from the east Sunday last. D. A. Lord returned Thursday from Michigan with a thousand sheep. Charley Rickly went to Omaha this morning, where he expects to remain some time. "W. B.

Clark, the former of Cadiz, Ohio, and the latter from Burt county, this State, arrived in this city last Saturday, and will spend some time with their friends in this place. Charles A., returned from his trip to the Cedar valley on Monday. He reports the threshers doing their duty, aud the small grain crop will amply repay the husbandmen for their hard labor. He returned by the Loup and Platte valleys and says tho corn crop in these valleys is very good and will prove a boon to our stock raisers. --Herman Gross arrived home from Milwaukee Mondav morninjr with a lot of line sheep, and two line stallion colts, one an own broth er to "Boston Davis" and tho other nn own brother to "Saucy Cuss." The Gross Bros, have now four very tine tiottin-r colts, all under Billv Keller's hands, whose reputation as a horseman is already established. E. C. Johnson of South Bend, Ind , arrived in the city Thursday last. Mr. Johnson lived hero five years ago and was engaged in bus iness with John Hubcr.

Mr. J. says that times are better in Indi ana than they were a year ago. Mr. Johnson started for his home yes terday morning. Letter List.

"We insert the following very fa vorable notice, from the Kcosauque Vindicator, of the abovo named show, which is to exhibit in Colum bus, October 7th : Everyone will join with us in saying it is the best show ever in Kcosauque. The street procession at 10 a. in. rivals k grandeur and brilliancy any show wo have had for the past ten years. The procession of nearly a mile long with waving Hags and uniqtio banners, splendid trappings, gold eiieruteil chariots, radiantly colored dens, silver mounted harness, hundreds of plumed horses, knights in armor, ladies richly costumed in queenly robes, automation gymnasts, minstrels aud other resplen dent sights. It is a square institution from the top of the ceiitcrpole down to the ticket wagon. 3Ir. Robbing has been in the business a lifetime, and no man can point to a dishonorable act that he has committed. He has made money and Imcsted it. His circus and menagerie Is his pride. He would not have a poor performance at any pi ice. lie would not employ a dishonest man nbotit his concern at all. He will not have a .drunkard about him. His party is com posed of as line gentlemen as can be found about any business hotic in Iowa. Hjs circus might pitch its tent in a nun's front' yard or on formal school grounds, or the public park, and not a word be said that would offend any one, and when it went away not a cent's worth of damage would be done. His company i like a well drilled army, that obeys orders. Wc believe that Purr Itobbins' show is the best on the road. We have not seen the establishment noticed by the press, or heard it spoken of by person's who have witnessed its exhibitions except in terms of commen dation. Unquestionably it is in every way worthy of patronage. LOCAL NOTICES. Advertisement- under this head live cents a line each insertion. Shirts at 2.") cents at L. Kramer's. Go to M. II.
