On Friday last Judge McAllis
ter gave his decision in the case be
tweeu Bullard & Smith, late partners
in the grocery business. The point
decided may be interesting to many
of our readers. Bullard claimed a
balance due him, for money loaned
&c, of some $25, and his claim,
we believe, was undisputed; but
Smith plead that ho was a minor,
and therefore not liable for the debt.
The court sustained his plea. This
course was taken by Smith because,
as is claimed, Mr. Bullard had " got
away with him" in their partnership
transactions.

'Vick's Floral Guide. Of the
mauy Guides and Seed and Plant
Catalogues sent out by our Seeds
men and nurserymen, and that are
doing so much to inform the peo
ple and beautify and enrich our
country, none are so beautiful, none
so instructive as Vick's Floral Guide.
Its paper is the choicest, its illustra
tions handsome, and given by the
hundred, while its Colored Plate is
a gem. This work, although costing
but five cents, is handsome enough
for a Gift Book, or a place on the
parlor table. Published by James
Vink, Rochester, N. Y.
We second tho motion of the
JSra that Franklin square bo either
enclosed and made a public park, or
el6e sold as business lots. It ought
not longer continue an eye sore to
the community, and it may be a
question worthy of consideration by
citizen voters whether it should not
be sold and the proceeds applied to
the payment of the city indebted
ness. The question has been already
mooted, but the writer hereof, not
being a votor feels that his duty has
been discharged after due attention
called. The columns of the Journal
are open to discussion.
There are many expressions in
favor of the passage of a good town
ship law. The only argument we
hear against it is that it makes
greater expense, that tho great ma
jority of precincts are sparsely set
tled, and that in many of them there
couldn't be found a sufficient num
ber of Intelligent men to fill the
offices. Tho Journal would be
glad to sec a good towuship law
passed, because there are many mat
ters of merely local interest that
can be best attended to by the pre
cinct board rather than the County
Commissioners. The maxim that
ho who would be well served must
serve himself, applies with equal
force to communities.
Rumors were rife here Saturday
of trouble iu Boone county over the
B. & M. R. R. land taxes. The last
Argus gives the facts in the case,
which will probably put at rest the
various rumors. We quote as fol
lows : "Dcpt. U. S. MarshaljTown
send, was iu town Tuesday. He
came up to serve papers on our
county officers, in the case before
the U. S. Court, wherein Loran
Clark, et al of the county, are seek
ing to set aside the decree relative
to the back taxes on the B. & M R.
R. lands in this county. The amount
involved iu the case is about $80,000.
We shall give this measure a more
extended notice before long."
Our railroad officials ought to
use an oil can at least once a month
on the axle of the good old wind
mill that winds away so faithfully
by day and by night to pump the
water, that makes the steam, that
moves the levcr,that turns the wheel,
etc., and stop this incessant squeak
ing that grates upon tho car like
upon the tooth of a dull saw, or the
gentle salutations of a loon; one
would think, upon waking up at
night, that he had been transmitted
into a land of dismal swamps with
only the shrieks of wild demons and
the hoots of owls to greet the ear.
"A word to the wise is sufficient,"
heuco "An Observer" closes this
short article.
Tho following from the Era, wc
most heartily endorse:
Major Frank North has been com
missioned by the Governor of the
State, Captain of Co. D, 2d Regi
ment Nebraska Mounted Infantry.
No more competent man could have
been selected than Major North, as
he knows every foot ot the country
in Western Nebraska, where the
services of him aud his men will be
needed during their enlistment.
But the main advantage to be gained
by this appointment is the experi
ence and skill the Major has acquired
as au Indian fighter. His knowl
edge of the country and familiarity
with the Indian mode of warfare
and in fact his every habit of life,
leaves uo doubt of the efficient ser
vices he will render to the state, es
pecially the western portion where
the trouble exists at present, and
which promises to become more se
rious with the coming of Spring.
The ball given by tho Columbu3
Cornet band at the Opera House on
Friday evening last passed off pleas
antly, and was apparently more than
usually enjoyable to the lovers of
the terpsichorean art. The music
was Eplcndid, the order good, and
all things favorable for devotion,
with zest and relish to an evening of
innocent amusement. Thero has
been a larger attendance upon sim
ilar occasions, but it is doubtful if any
event of the kind during tho season
has been the source of more enjoy
ment to all participants than was the
Band ball. Financially, it was not a
briiliant success, but as something
more than expenses accrued as the
receipts, the debtfor the instruments
is somewhat smaller, and the boys
congratulate themselves and are
duly thankful.
SCHUYLER'S BENEFIT.
"Nix" Makes the Trip with the Maen-
nerohor and Band, and Gives His
Views of what He Sees.
Editor Journal: According to
an announcement made iu your last
issue, the Mscunerchor siuging so
ciety and Brass Band of this place
visited our neighboring town Schuy
ler ou Saturday last, for the purpose
of giving a concert and ball, and
having n general good time; aud, as
it is the Journal's wont to keep a
"correct and accurate account of the
proceedings" of the community in
which it circulates, I beg for a small
space in its columns to give a brief
outline of the day's doings.
Tho U. P. R. R. Co. were obliging
enough to give the party, special
rates for the trip, which afforded
much more pleasure than travel by
wagon, especially at this season of
the year.
As the train neared Richland it
was made manifest in more ways
than one that we had a sick man
aboard, and he was free to admit the
cause of his ailment. He is a newly-married
man and this was his
first trip from home since that hap
py event. He called it "home-sickness."
This young benedict renides
in the eastern suburbs of the city,
and from last accounts wcarc pleas
ed to note that he is all right again.
Upon the arrival of the train at
Schuyler tho Macnncrclior, consist
ing of 18 singers under the leader
ship of Emil Poh!, headed by the
Brass Band, of 13 members, formed
into line and marched through the
streets to the Upton and Fogg
houses, where they partook of sump
tuous dinners. The members of the
Band "put up" at the first-named
hotel, and we are willing to make a
6mall wager that the proprietor of
that house won't forget it, cither;
for be it known that that baud has
one member who has gained for
himself considerable notoriety as
regards his "carrying capacity" for
edibles. After doing justice to a
good, square meal, that baud man,
in response to the waiter's query,
"Cranberry, mince, apple, cream,
custard, or pumpkin pie?" respond
ed, "Well, I'll thank you for a piece
of each kind."
At about 4 o'clock the Band came
out and again paraded the streets,
specially favoring the newspaper
aud hotel folks with their best
selections.
Since last I visited Schuyler,which
is some three years ago, there have
been many and substantial public
and private improvements. The
new Opera House is certainly a"
credit to tho town, and the manager
must have understood what was
needed, for everything in connection
with the staging, such as scenery,ctc,
is iu perfect trim. The new Fire
Engine house and the engine therein'
kept are also good things that some
towns larger than Schuyler would
do well to pattern after. Besides
their chemical engine, of the Cham
pion manufacture, they have a hand-
engine that looks ns if it migh
most effectual service if put to
Everything about the engine house
is kept clean and in perfect order,
which is a good indication that the
firemen take a deep interest in their
duties. With two engine companies.

Should this be the case,
firemen will be well prepared to
.Sc
light the hery clement, as the city
council have contracted for fire
wells in different parts of the town,
which are now being curbed up.
During the afternoon it began toJ
6now, and it was leared that it would

zard," and thus cause but few tor

it was a "slow" snow, which allow
ed a good audience to greet the Co
lumbus singers, who, judjrins from J
the storms of applause that greeted?
them niter each appearance, were
duly appreciated by them. After
the concert, nearly the entire audi
ence remained aud participated in
the ball, which lasted till near mid
night, when the Schuylerites dis
persed to their several homes, and
the Columbus party "made tracks"
lor the depot in order to get aboard
the train that leaves that place at N
midnight. After an hour's ride we
arrived home, all agreeing to having
bad a good time. Nix.

trade on that basis pass them by.

I have secured the right of sell
ing the Brilliant and Diamond oil
stove in Platto and Colfax counties.
I will keep these stoves at my mil-
liuery storo in this city, and invite
all to come and examine them. No
pipes are needed, coal oil is used for
fuel, and there is a great saving of
fuel, as all will be convinced by ex
amining this stove. This is the
stove for sick rooms, for chambers,
for the kitchen and for small offices.
All I ask is, come and see the stove.

There is uo medicine prescribed
by physicians, or sold by Druggists,
that carries such evidence of its suc
cess and superior virtue as Bos
chee's German Svrup for severe
Coughs, Colds settled ou the breast,
Consumption, or any disease of the
Throat and Lungs. A proof of that
fact is that any person alllicted,
can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents
and try its superior effect before
buying the regular size at 75 cents.
It has lately been introduced in this
country from Germany, and its
wonderful cures are astonishing
everyone that uses it. Three doses
will relieve any case. Try it. Sold

The Liver is the imperial organ of
the whole human system, ns it con
trols the life, health and happiness
of man. When it is disturbed iu its
pioper action, all kinds of ailments
arc the natural result. The diges
tion of food, tho movements of the
heart and blood, the action of the
brain aud nervous system, are ail
immediately connected with the
workings of the Liver. It has been
successfully proved that Green's
August Flower is unequalled iu
curing all persons afilicted with
Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint, and
all the numerous symptoms that
result from au unhealthy condition of
the Liver and Stomach. Sample

Mr. Editor, Bear Sir: I had
occasion, a few days ago, to call at
the store-rooms of our friend Wm.
Becker. Tho old maxim, "Honesty
the best policy," is well illustruted
in his uniform business prosperity.
His success in the grocery and gen
eral produce line has encouraged
him to purchase a large stock of
farming implement?, which he now
offers for sale. We particularize
only the following:
The celebrated Canton Clipper
plow, manufactured especially for
this trade by Parlin & Orendorf,
Canton, Ills., warranted to scour iu
the most difficult Nebraska soil.
The old standard Moline plow and
cultivator, which is so well known
to every farmer, as to need no spe
cial recommendation. The Illinois
combined riding and walking culti
vator, a well known and very useful
implement, as it enables a boy easily
to do the work of a man.
The Gorham Seeder, which is
claimed to excel all others in ease
of draft aud convenience of hand
ling. He also has seeding attach
ments for the cultivators, which
enables a farmer to secure a seeder
and cultivator combined, at nbout
half the cost of a single seeder, and
it is warranted to give entire satis
faction. The best known and most highly
appreciated line of reaping and
mowing mnchines in the market,
viz: the Buckeye, manufactured by
Aultmau, Miller & Co., Akron, O.
He is making a specialty of the
Sulky plow trade, and challenges
competition in that line. In tact,
he is firmly convinced that he has
the' best line of machinery in this
market, including wagous and
threshers.
Mr. Becker has secured the ser
vices of Mr. II. P. Bower, a well
known gentleman, who has been
prominently connected with the ma
chine trade at this place for the last
two years, and has had upwards of
ten years' experience in this business.
I am a friend of tbe farmers, and
as such would advise them to call
on Mr. Becker for any article in his
line, knowing that it will be to their
interest. Yours truly,
Farmers' Friend.
