It is still the " chief business of
an editor to keep lies out of his
paper." This remark need not be
taken to heart by the editor of the
Democrat unless be knows that he
is meant by it. We don't mean him,
particularly. We speak in general
terms, and leave the spirit of truth
and the average conscience of the
editor to malce the application.
The Fremont and Schuyler pa
pers contain graphic accounts of the
doings of one Quails Bruton, cattle
dealer. It seems that he has been
married to too many women and
thus has got into trouble. He had a
hearing bpfore Judge Russell of
Schuvler the other day, and is un
der $3,000 bonds for appearance at
the next term of the district court.
There is no doubt that Colum
bus is one of the best places in the
world to start a newspaper. Expe
rience has proved that it is, too, a
very successful point for the "sur
vival " of the fittest, and the depart
ure of the superfluous ones. The
Jouknal has always believed, and
will continue to act upon that belief,
that what ought to continue lo exist,
will continue to exist.
On Saturday last, upon invita
tion, about forty of Clinlton Smiths
little friends assembled at his par
ents' home on 15th street, where
they celebrated in a lively manner
bis seventh birth-day anniversary.
Mr and Mrs. Smith went to consid
erable labor in fitting up out-door
grounds for the comfort of the little
folks, which they evidently appre
ciated. Supper was served at sjx
o'clock, and "oh, what goodies!"
And how they were enjoyed. May
the little folks all live to enjoy mauy
happy returns of Clinton's birth-day.

Died. On Tuesday, July 22, 1S79,
after three weeks illness, of Liver
Complaint, Mr. Frederick Meedel,
aged 70 years, father of Chris. Mee
del, of Butler precinct, this county.
The deceased had resided in Nebras
ka fourteen years, and was known
and respected by a large circle of
friends. Pe.ice to his memory.
A match game of base ball was
played on the grounds 60iith of the
cityon yesterday afternoon between
the "Bat Smashers" of Madison and
the "Independents" of this city, re
sulting in a score of 17 to 19. in favor
of the home team. Good feeling
prevailed throughout the game, and
the decisions of the umpire, Mr. A.
J. Thatch, were fair and impartial,
and II. P. Coolidge kept the score
" straight."
The M. E. Sunday school pic-nir,
as previously announced, took place
Saturday last at Stevens's grove
west of thp city. Some three hun
dred persons were in attendance,
who enjoyed themselves during the
day by engaging in innocent games,
boat-riding, swinging, efr. Col.
Stevens has recently added new
features to his grounds, and it is now
claimed to be the "boss" plane in the
couuty to spend a pleasant day.
The Joukxat. takes great credit
to itself for educating the Era to a
certain degree of decency in the
conduct of a newspaper. Of course,
with better material to start with,
we could have done more; but wo
object now to taking an other pupil
of the Bourbon family. However,
if it shall seem to be npcessarv. in
the interests of the general public,
and more especially of the. Colum
bus public, we will even undertake
that.
The last number of the Demo
crat, published by Went worth &
Son, formerly of Racine, Wisconsin,
contained a-column of matter, less
or more, with particular reference to
the Journal and its proprietors,
which is grossly personal, unpro
voked, unwarranted, malicious and
false. We characterize the printed
matter precisely as it deserves, and
leave to the brace of Bourbon papers
the congenial work of calling
"names."
There arc thousands of dollars
for the man or company that will
control the waters of the Loup for
mill and manufacturing purposes.
It can and will he done in the near
future. Enterprising men of cap
ital will not long permit the waters
of this stream that was never known
to dry, to run lo waste. Races made
of hard timber will control the
water and a sufficient fall can be ob
tained in a short distance to run
mills of usual power.
J. W. Sanderson for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct was
arraigned before Judge McAllister
on Monday last. Ho pleaded as an
extenuating circumstance that he
look the liquor to drown the misery
of a felon on one of Iris fincrnrs. Tha
Judges sympathy may have been
arouspd, but the glaring fact that the
man was drunk made it necessary to
call on him for a em-ill donation of
$1 for the school fund, and a trifle to
pay the officers for their trouble.
Whenever a man brags of the
costly coat he has on, you may be
sure thai it is done only to attract
inquiry from the rags it covers. So
when a newspaper firm boasls of
their vastly superior facilities and
the amount of their taxable properly,
you may be sure that there is some
thing they are trying to hide. Brag
may be a good dog, but Hold-fast is
a better, and right-minded people
always prefer a moderate tone at
least when one is speakingof him
self. Mr. Welch, who resides near
Oscpola, Polk Co, informs us that
while Queen Esther was being per
formed in Myers Hall on the even
ing of the lGth in Oscrola, the floor
of the hall gHve'away and precipi
tated the entire audience consisting
of about two hundred persons to
the ground floor. Our informant
went down with the crowd.
Several persons were badlv bruised
and injured but none killed. He
heard that one lady had her ankle
dislocated.
A man living in the cistern pari
of the city, Marion Harper by name,
and who has become notorious with
the city officers and police court for
disreputable conduct, was on Salur
daj the 12th insl., by Judge McAl
lister, fined $5 and costs for brutal
treatment of his wife. Upon his
promise that he would leave the city
and not again molest his wife and
family, whom he has ceased to sup
port, he was allowed lo work out his
fine in the harvest field and escape
being jailed.
The Democrat says : "two weeks
or more before we had issued a pa
per" the proprietors of the Journal
began "to heap their scurrilous
abuse upon us through the columns
of their paper, charging us with be
ing the organ of the TJ. P." Readers
of the Journal know that wc never,
on the worst cases of provocation,
heap scurrilous abuse uprn any one.
Prior to the issue of the Platte Val
ley Democrat all that was said of it
or its proprietors by the Journal
was as follows: "The Messrs.
Weutworth recently of Wisconsin
are located in Gluck's building, one
door east of his store, and are about
to begin the publication of a Demo
cratic paper." Is this "heaping
scurrilous abuse"?
James McDonald, Monday night
in endeavoring to enlighten his fel
low citizens upon the subject "Sal
vation is Free," doubtless discovered
the fact that to appreciate a good
thing when you hear it or think it is
one thing, and to present it so that
others will appreciate it also, is an
otherand a somewhat different thing.
James has a considerable amount of
native force and good sense, but he
needs considerable practice before
he can swim in the theological gulf
alongside with mm who have de
voted all their lives to that business.
Nevertheless, mankind are always
looking for and expecting the genius
who, out of his native ability and
through a divine inspiration, will bo
able to solve some of their spiritual
problems.

T. C. Bauer and wife, formerly of

rado, Kansas, arrived in the city last
Tuesday with the intention, we are
informed, of making Columbus their
future home. Josie Wells, son of
J. B. Wells, of this city, whose homo
is with this family, came with them.
Wc regret to learn (hat our friend
Mr. J. C. Paxton, of Rising City,
was prostrated by sunstroke one day
last week. Mr. P. had not been well
for sometime which in part accounts
for his misfortune. Reports of the
circumstance which have reached us
are meagre, but we learn that lie is
slowly recovering. David City Re
publican. N. F. Benson of Kansas, arrived
in the citj- Saturday on a visit to
friends. He is a brother-in-law to
Mrs. Jane North, and hadn't seen
any of his nephews for 25 years.
He speaks very highly of Kansas
and Nebraska, as compared with his
old homes in New York and Ohio,
and says that the influx of immigra
tion to his part of the country this
year has been simply immense.
The last Osceola Record con
tains full particulars of the accident
at Myer's Hall. Elsewhere wc give
some particulars. We subjoin the
following from the Record:
" At Ihe first crash brave men rush
ed to the rescue, aud heroically
worked in extricating tho unfortu
nate ones from the debris. The
crowd was fun" on sand in their haste
to find loved ones, trampled those
not akin. Fortunately no body was
killed and no bones broken. All
who went down were more or less
bruised. Tho following as far as
hoard from sustained the most in
jury: Mrs. W. F. Louger, Miss.
Kneer, Mr. & Mrs. C. Humphrey,
Mrs. Dr. Waller, Mrs. Dr. Logan)
Mrs. Maxwell, J. Palmer, II. G.
Thurman and Miss. Katie Kuukel."
He had been keeping a sharp
look-out for them for some time and
had about come to the conclusion
that he would never capture them,
when one day last week while walk
ing in the garden he happened lo
gaze up into one of his trees and r
thero, perched upon a limb nestled
together were the little treasures.
With the aid of a slip-noose of a
fish-line attached to a long pole they
were brought down and caged.
That's the manner in which Al.
Arnold came by those young mocking-birds.
Twine Hinder.
Ten years ago a school teacher of
St. Louis took up the idea that a
self-binder was a thing of much im
portance to the farming community,
and at that time went to work, in
leisure hours, to devise a machine.
After ten years of patient labor he
was rewarded by bringing out what
is called Fassett's twine-binder.
This machine was tried in the field
of Mrs. Margaret Cleary on Shell
creek, Saturday last, and gave satis
faction to all who saw it work.

Rain, like everything else, is very
good in its season, but as we look at
the reaping machiues aud harvesters
standing idle this rainy morning we
think that it was all the same to
"old Probabilities" or the "clerk of
the weather," two weeks earlier or
later would have answered every
purpose in this locality.
In the last Journal your Cotton
wood correspondent bays, "we all
went over to St. Edward, but were
sorely disappointed." What was the
trouble, "Cottonwood?" Couldn't
you catch the greased pig? or on
the supposition that your are an old
' bach.," did she go off with the
other fellow? Anyhow, we hope
the disappointment won't trauslorm
you into a funeral.

Lust Sunday a large congregation
assembled at the new Baptist church
to hear the first sermon preached in
that building. Elder A. J. Wright,
officiated on that occasiou, aud who
has earned for himself the reputa
tion of being u very forcible and
eloquent preacher, alter a few ap
propriate remarks, reminded his
hearers of the necessity of practic
ing, as well as professing Christiani
ty. The Elder has an earnest aud
practical way of dealing with pro
fessors, non-professors aud skeptics,
though it may not always agree
with the views ot the last named
never offends.
So that transparent humbug, the
TJ. P. injunction, has been "dissolv
ed." Now if tho people could only
arrange it somehow to snub a few
of those so-called railroad magnates
who are eternally interfering with
our local afl'airs by arbitrary legal
proceedings and every other op
pressive scheme that heartless ty
rants only can invent, it would be a
god fcend for the people at large.

The Platte river, for one or two
hundred miles west of Noith Platte,
is almost entirely dried up. Cattle
owners may have to move their
stock unless the elements intervene
to turnish nature's liquid, within a
short time.
Throughout northwestern Colora
do and some parts of Wyoming the
earth's surface is devoid of the nu
tricious green grasses, she was wont
to bear. The whole country seems
dried up, and the vast herds" of cat

tion. Such a drought around Chey
enne was never before known.
On Sunday last tho second cow

There seems to be as great an
influx of people to Denver as in the
earlier days of '59 and 'GO. Many

Editor Journal: Press of farm
work lias compelled me to neglect
sending you my correspondence
from tin's county as otten as 1 would
wt6li, this summer. I commence
harvesting lo-morrow, and necessa
rily you will not hear from me uutil
my hurry is over.
The small grain in west Butler
will be of gooif quality, and, we
think, of au average yield ; corn bids
fair to be an extra crop ; farmers are
cheerful, but hard work and plenty
of it has generally taken off all sur
plus flesh, and they resemble some
what the lean kine of Pharoah, the
aged. But nowhere are f.trmers
more contented than here, for they
realize and enjoy the fact that they
live in the very garden of Nebraska.
Rising City now has a good hard
ware store and it is enjoyiug a good
trade. We need u harness-shop and
it a good harness-maker would pay
us a visit we think he would be
convinced that the location would
be profitable for him. Our branch
stores have departed to other scenes
ol fame, but our permanent houses
of business enjoy a good trade.
No more from me, Mr. Editor,
until my grain is gathered and the
merry click of the sickle ceaes.
July 11th, 1879. Why Not?
..
St. JSermird.
Editor Journal: We are having
some wet weather this week which
makes harvesting a little slow. Cut
ting wheat here commenced on the
12th, aud since that time is being
6teiidily pushed forward. The crops
arc lighter than last year, but of
better quality. Rye and barley have
been severally harvested A good
many have hay up in stack. Corn
is nearly all out in tassel aud some
pieces in silk.
Nearly every second farmer here
abouts has got him a new harvester,
or combined reaper this season, and
all seem to fiud plenty of employ
ment. S. E. Morgan ha3 a header
aud has also ordered a new thresh
ing.machine. So the lookout seemB
prosperous.
Our neighbor David E. Jones has
an old turkey gobbler and nothing
would do him but to set, so David
filled a nest with hen's eggs, said
gobbler took possession, and in due
time brought forth a fine brood of
young chickens, in which he seems
to take a great deal of pride. He is
indeed very motherly looking.

nesday night and probably mistook
the residence of a stranger for that
of an acquaintance in the same quar
ter. When first noticed he was
trying to get in at a window. An
officer was called up (3 a. m.,) but
out of consideration for the man's
family, he was not put into the
"lock-up." If there had been a pis
tol at hand, the probabilities are
that there would have boon an end
made right there, of drunkenness
and mistakes, so far as that one in
dividual was concerned. x. r.
