Success to him.
This morning a man named
Clark, a passenger on board the east
bound emigrant train, when a short
distance past the whistling post east,
stepped from the train which was
running slowly and after reaching
the ground, appears to have thrown

known firm on Olive street, are
erecting a large new building on the
site of their old one osposite the
Tattersall. The new structure will
be 22x52 ft., two 6tories high, and
will be much more convenient than
the old one. "We are glad to note
this evidence of thrift and enter
prise. John Slrasser of Jackson was in
the city Monday. He detailed to us
his experience with the reporting
tramps, and it was rich, for a fact.
John has a practically philosophical
turn of mind that serves him well on
such occasions, and allows him to
extract from such circumstances
about all the fun and music there is
iu them.
Messrs. Smith &Tigner succeed
Dullard & Smith in the grocery,

success to him.
While a team was crossing the
railroad track Saturday they were
frightened at something mid became
unmanageable by the young lad who
was driving them, and were about to
gc! away from him, when the womon
by his side, who had hitherto re
mained quiet (contrary to the usual
custom) took hold of the lines, and
very soon had the horses under con
trol, we commend that woman
for bravcin and presence of mind.

Rev. Roc, who has been labor
ing for the past two weeks in the
revival meetings at the M.E. church
delivered two very instructive ser
mons on last Sabbath, with the ex
pectation of closing his labors iu the
evening. At the conclusion of the
evening service several persons
united with the church, and the con
gregation appeared anxious that he
should remain a while longer, and
by a unanimous holding up of hands
deteated his intention to leave.
Preaching, wo learn, will be contin
ued as uual in the evening at 7,
unless otherwise ordered.
"We have been taken to task by
some members of the Columbus
Dramatic Society with reporting
their performance at the Opera
House on Tuesday night last, as
being played to a "very fair" house.
The turn-out was not so large as we
had anticipated for our young folks,
who were devoting themselves to
the laudibie undertaking of self
improvement and of amusing and
instructing their fellow citizens, in
which they had been so successful
in their first appearance before the
public ; but taking into consideration
the hard times and the fact that
they had a larger house than has
been drawn by any traveling troupe,
it must be considered quite com
plimentarv, aud was so viewed
by the Club.
The stationery stores are fully
stocked with valentines. The human
form divine is burlesqued in every
conceivable manner. If a man's
nose is a shade longer than the
average,the highly-colored valentine
will of course represent it as long as
a fence rail ; if the eyes are natural
ly large, the unsaintly valentine
will show them as big as saucers,
and bulgitig out far enough to be
knocked off with a stick. We like
rather, the old fashion which pre
vailed in our boyhood days. Young
men received letters expressive of
the purest sentiments of affection,
written by the fair one's own hand,
without, however, a revelation of
her name; while the youug ladies
were overwhelmed with love mis
sives, expressing every shade of the
tender sentiment, together with
some drawing or other evidence of
art on the part of the unknown
lover.
The iHtcHBcrchor.
Monday eveniug's train brought
from Omaha Mr. Ii. Strasburg, pres
ident, II. Raven, leader, aud twenty
two members of the Omaha Man
nerchor, to take part in the exercises
of the Columbus Majuuerchor given
at the Opera House on Monday
evening. They were met at the
depot, and with the Cornet Baud
escorted to the rooms of the Majn
nerchor club opposite the Court
House, where a good time was had
in toasts aud speeches.
The leader of the Omaha club in
his speech stated that they were
pleased to meet their friends of Co
lumbus, and with them participate
In exercises which were ennobling
and elevating. Music hath its
charms, and since David sang to
Saul it has obtained generally that
music has much to do with sup
pressing evil. And here, said he, is
a matter of which I desire to 6pcak.
We are, or profess to be temperate.
"While we are not temperance men,
nor have we views in accord with
the movers of the bill in the present
legislature of Nebraska, still we are
temperate iu all things, and we be
lieve this right.
In the evening the Opera House
was filled with the music-loving cit
izens, aud the Columbus society, led
by Emil Pohl, rendered the music
set forth in the programme, exceed
ingly well, and demonstrated that
few societies anywhere have such a
collection of good voices. Their
rendering of "Come where my love
lies dreaming" was good and was
loudly applauded, affording the au
dience an opportunity of realizing
and enjoying the force and compass
of Mr. Gorcs's voice. The Omaha
club rendered several pieces in ad
mirable style. The entertainment
throughout was good, and of a
nature to do credit to the perform
ers aud leaders.

E. A. Gerrard, r. M.
iullin IS:tcIc.
Mr. Editor: Believing that the
plan I make use of to break a horse
of the bad habit of pulling back on
halter or bridle is more effectual iu
working a euro than any as yet
brought forward iu the Journal I
am induced to state iu what it con
sists. Take ajf-hi. rope long enough
to make a loop, passing it around
the horse's tail and extending on each
side of his back to the front of his
breast where both ends of the rope
are securely tied together; theu
pass a surcingle around the horse's
body to hold the rope in position.
You will then be ready to put on
the halter passing the strap through
a ring in the manger or a post, then
fasten the end of the strap securely
to the rope at the horse's breast, and
when he pulls on his halter the rope
extending over his body will tight
en aud pull on his tail and he will
suddeuly quit pulling back, aud it
works an effectual cure.

A New Firm.
C. E. Morse and Phil. Cain, both
well-known to most of our Nebras
ka readers, entered into partnership
last Saturday, and will hereafter
conduct the Tattersall as a livery,
feed and sale stable. Charley has
been engaged in the business here
for a number of years, and has, so
far as we know, given universal
satisfaction. He has always em
ployed only the most careful and
considerate help, and so the public
who have patronized him, have been
well served at all times. A new
building.'has just been completed and
attached to the old one, making the
entire structure SixGl !t. 84 fronting
on Olive. The new building will be
used exclusively for livery, and
has all the appointments of a first
class livery, including shelter for
buggies and carriages, harness
wardrobes, &c, &c. Largo addi
tions have been made to the livery
stock, in the line of buggies, horses,
&c, and the old reputation of the
Tattersall will be fully sustained by
the new firm.
Fruit Prospects.
Editor Journal : Your corre
spondent from Rising City asks
"through the Journal whether the
late severe cold weather has injured
any portion of the fruit prospects
for next season?" I have carefully
examined my "fruit prospects" aud
find all right at present, except lea
der varieties of red raspberries; the
Snyder blackberry looks as healthy
and vigorous as they were in the
fall. Apples, pears, cherries and
tame plums, I consider in a preca
rious condition. If the weather
should remain cool this month, the
fruit prospects are good, but if a
"very warm spell" should occur,
such as we sometimes get in Febru
ary in this latitude, then the weak
ened buds will prematurely swell,
and be apt to cast their fruit blos
soms, and a barren tree for this
spring be the result.
The query of "Why Not" can be
more definitely answered about the
1st of March. II. J. Hudson.

Halter Puller.
Ed. Journal : As a subscriber to
the Journal makes inquiry on this
subject, I give the following sug
gestions: Pass the halter-strap or
rope that you have to tie with,
through the ring or hole, or over a
pole, or whatever you have to tie
to, and tie the end around his fore
leg just above the kuec; this leaves
him in such a position that he can
not pull back without pulling up his
fore foot, aud when one foot is off
the ground, he can get no more pur
chase on the halter; but be sure to
tie in such a way that the halter
strap or rope can slip backward or
forward easily. This leaves your
horse perfectly safe, anywhere, day
or night. O. P. Reed.

Itluiiic flail Association.
The aunual meeting of tho above
named association was called to meet
on Saturday eveuing last at tho
Opera House. Tho president was
there ready to preside, the treasurer
to report the state of the finances,
aud the secretary to give an account
of his department, but as only ten
shares were represented, not being
a quorum, no business could be
transacted. It will not, therefore,
be out of order for the Journal to
give a statement in brief of the mat
ters of the association as they would
have been set forth to the stockhold
ers, if a quorum of them had been
present. The total receipts for the
year ending Saturday were $732.50;
the disbursements have been, for
sidewalk, $140; taxes, 2 years, $84;
janitor's services, $130; iusurauce,
$45; the mortgage debt of the asso
ciation has been reduced $225. The
remainder of the receipts was used
for fuel, lignts and orders not paid
the previous year. The present in
debtedness is $1200. The officers
deserve great credit for the manner
in which they have exercised their
trust, and the stockholders should at
least have been present to signify
their approval of the economic care
of the board of directors.
Jas. McDonald says that while
at Lincoln he talked with Dr. Math
ewson of the Asylum for the Insane,
in regard to the condition of Chag.
Ilamer, sent there from this county
some time since. The doctor says
that he is as well as he ever will be;
that he is harmless, takes the place
of a hired man, Mid is sent in charge
of a team anywhero in the city.
Platte county pays $4 a week and
h's ciothing to keep him at the asy
lum, while Mrs. Ilamer has offered
to keep him at homo at an expense
of $2 a week to the county. Mr.
IPs condition is such that he per
haps never will be able to manage
for himself, but if his keep will cost
the county less here than at Lincoln,
and his health would now be as good
here as there, tax-payers will not be
able to see the reasou why he is not
brought home.
County Supt. Barrett authorizes
us to say that the meeting, Saturday
week, at the school-house in district
No. 44, was authorized by himself
and not by the school board. A
petition had been circulated, and
signed by a majority of the voters of
the district, asking for a division,
which, the Sup't. having to make,
concluded to call a meeting of the
voters to confer with them, in order
to have the division as satisfactory
as possible The division that was
made, placing a part of the district
in No. 1, and removing the old
school-house to the centre of the new
district will save the issuing of new
bonds covering the same territory,
and was understood to give general
satisfaction.
The city council will bo asked
to grant a yearly license to the
Music Hall Association, instead of
taxing each troupe that comes along.
We believe this would be altogether
proper, for several good reasons,
among which are that the house is
not owned by one individual for
speculation, but by mauy whose
chief purpose was to provide a suit
able place for entertainments. The
Hall is a great convenience as well
as a credit to the city, and the
Council will uot be blamed if they
deal liberally with an association
which has not sought and which does
not seek a merely private aud indi
vidual gain.
Oxford Chief is the name of the
thoroughbred bull owned by J. E.
Tasker & Bro. They received his
pedigree the other day. He was
bred by John Dice, Wilton, Iowa.
He is only three removes from the
Duke of Airdric, one of the best
strains ever brought to this country.
The eastward-bound passenger
train last Friday was two hours late,
on account of the heavy snow storm
west. J. C. Henry, who was on the
train said that where he boarded it,
the snow was three feet deep.

The Liver is the imperial organ of
the whole human system, as it con
trols the life, health and happiness
of man. When it is disturbed in its
proper action, all kinds of ailments
are the natural result. The diges
tion of food, the movements of the
heart and blood, the action of the
brain aud nervous system, are all
immediately connected with the
workings of the Liver. It has been
successfully proved that Green's
August Flower is unequalled in
curing all persons afllicted with
Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint, aud
all the numerous symptoms that
result from an unhealthy condition of
the Liver and Stomach. Sample
bottles to try, 10 cents. Positively
sold in all town3 on the Western
Continent. Three doses will prove
that it if just what vou want. Sold
