on the comer of Olivo and 13th St.,
east 6ide, the lot formerly occupied
by the residence of Hugh Comptou,
deceased. The building will be
frame, 22x50.
On yesterday evening Father
Ambrose and a friend while return
ing to this city from St. Bernard
met with quite a serious accident.
The horses they were driving some
how became entangled in the lines
which caused them to run away,
upsetting the buggy, aud it is re
ported that Father Ambrose was
very seriously injured.
David Andcrson,of this city,bad
two valuable hogs killed last Sun
day at his stock yards by lightning.
It is fortunate for him that the
lightning did not come down where
his stock was crowded close togeth
er. A rushing job that was when
Anderson arrived from the west at
3 o'clock Tuesday morniug last,
hustled around and bought 30 head
of half-blood yearling bulls, aud
shipped them to Laramie the same
day.
The society cf Friends held a
meeting at Monroe school-house on

wife, representative Friends from

of our townsmen attended the
meeting.
A. II. Simpson, Esq., will re

posed to be one of the best preach

Sept. 7th, aud will officiate at St.
John's church in this city. People
of all denominations and of no de
nomination arc invited to attend.
T. C. Ryan has a pet on his right
arm , about four inches below the
shoulder, and he has his hair cropped
very short ; in fact, he is ready to
fight any man who slaps him on that
sore spot, as every one of his friends
seems instinctively inclined to do.
Wc note these facts in the interest
of peace.
We glanced in at the dwelling
house just being finished by James
Pearsall, for A. Henry. For its size
it is the most convenient aud roomy
of any house we kuow. Wc have
not space to describe it at length, but
those who want to build a model
house should look it all over. The
carpenter work is excellent.
"A demonstration of the truth
fulness of the g03pcl story" will
form the subject of the Rev. It.
Christison's lecture at the Presby
terian church next Sabbath evening.
Tnc professional and business men
of the city, all with ' brains," and
those affected with " Ingcrsolism" or
" scepticism" arc especially invited
to attend.
Jos. fiross is of the opinion that
the disease which attacked cattle
last fall was largely due to an imper
fect supply of pure water or to a
perfect supply of impure water.
Water, he says, should be fresh and
pure, aud not supplied, cither from
Mcgmant t-loughs or from large
troughs, left standing partly filled
with water long exposed to the air.
Byron Millet?, Esq., returned
from Lincoln last Sunday, where he
had been attending the session of
the supreme court. A friend at our
side suggests that it is interesting
to sec a lawyer on his trip overland
to the capital, draw his boots aud
socks, turn civil engineer, and
plunge into the little streamy to hunt
up the chuck holes and quicksand to
save his team from being injured
or stuck.
The Hospital committee arc to
have a meeting next Friday evening,
seven o'clock, in the Bank building.
The Sisters of Charity have been 'at
work soliciting for several months
past, and have raised a modest sum
of money to begin with, and it is to
be hoped that the good work will
proceed without delay. We have
always understood that these hospit"
als were conducted on strictly hud
mauitariau and charitable nrinciplos,
open to the world's afilieted, of
whatever nationality or creed, and
as such should receive a helping
hand from every man who loves his
fellow.
W. II. II. Llewellyn, the lost
detective who had been in pursuit of
the notorious horse thief Doc. Mid-
dlctou, and who was believed to
have been killed in the recent meet-
ingof the two parties on the Xio
brara, comes out with only a slight
wound, lie arrived at Fort Ilarts
uffou the 23d, and says Hazcn was
killed, and I expect Lykcns, from
Cheyenne, was also killed or badly
wounded, as I could see nothing of
him after the fight ended. He
thinks Doc. Middleton was badly
wounded as he saw him running
down through the brush "with his
hand to his side. The horse of Doc.
run past me. Black George, a Tex
an, was killed, aud another outlaw,
whoscnamc I do not know."
Hazcn was not killed but danger
ously wounded in two places, one
ball, it is believed, passing through
one of his lungs. He passed this
city last Friday on his way to
Omaha. Dr. Siggins, of this city,
went on tho train as far as Xorth
Bend closely watching his condition
and dressing his wounds.
Llewellyn says a detail of twenty
men was to start from the Fort ou
the 23d to ascertain the fate of his
comrades.
Rev. W. B. Slaughter, D. D.,
died at his home in West Omaha, at
G o'clock, p. m., on the 2Gth iust., of
inflammation of the bowels. His
dangerous condition was not known
to many, and after an illness of
eleven days his spirit returned to
God who gave it. He has resided in
Xebraska for the past fifteen years,
and has been a diligent worker
in the Methodist Episcopal Church
for about thirty years, ever esteem
ed a christian pastor, an intelligent
man, a good speaker, and a writer of
no ordinary ability. The church
knew his worth aud conferred upon
him many important trusts; that of
Presiding Elder of the Omaha dis
trict was ouc which he held at the
time of hi? death. All over this dis
trict the news of his death will be
sad tidings to his christian friends,
but if they follow his teachiugs and
example, aud prove faithful to the
end, they will realize what he be
lieved, a joyous and glorious re
union in the spirit land.

How is that for early? Thcc arc
from the celebrated Alexander stock
originating from a neglected, seed
ling tree in an old, deserted garden
in 111., in 1S72, from which the
owner and a nursery man cleared
.$10,000 in two years.
It is tho Jodisxais habit, first
to look up the local news; second,
the general news ; then, if we have
space still loft and are in a hurry and
can not find any more delightful
theme, wc look after our numerous
city cotemporarics of the Bourbon
faith. We notice that the last Dem
ocrat, published by Wcntworth &
Son, late of Raciue, Wisconsin, con
tains what purports to be paid space
in their pure, classical Bourbon pa
per, with the following legend print
ed thereon in not very "loud" type:
"This space is paid for at advertising
rates by a Democrat, as he says, to
sustain and encourage the only gen
uine Democratic paper ever publish
ed in Columbus." The other Bour
bon sheet, now for many years under
the immediate tutelage of the Jour
nal, makes no reply or objection of
any kind, except, it may possibly be,
the following, which we find in its
columns: "A man who is naturally
mean can't help but edit a mean
newspaper," which is expressing all
there is really to say, and in a mau
ner wholly free from persoual abuse.
We are glad to know that the Era,
seeing in the Democrat as in a looking-glass,
its own worst traits en
larged, is beginning to recognize,
appreciate aud apply the thousand
lessons that it has received in the
past eight years at the hand of the
Jourxal. We are not now without
a faint ray of hope that wc may yet
succeed in making even the Demo
crat a decent ana modcratelv truth--
ful paper, in well, say about thirty
years, with the aid of the Era. This,
of course, is intended to apply only
to the general, social tone of the
paper, and not to tho discussion of
political principles, for the truly
Bourbon paper has nothing that
might bo called "principles." and
nothing that might be called "dis
cussion." Next Saturday there can be
gained by every faithful Catholic,
after having received the sacraments,
a plenary indulgence, as often as
they visit the Franciscan church.
Masses will be said from G o'clock
in the morning. At 10 o'clock a. m.
solemn high mass.

the: seiv paper.
Its Bellicose, Boastful and Jealous
Disposition Rebuked.
A Dispassionate Spectator has a
Few Words to Say.
Editor Jourxal: When it was
announced a few weeks ago that
Columbus was to be augmented by
a new Democratic newspaper, with
a huge outfit of presses, types and
ponderous material, renovated or re
constructed for this locality, I was
neither elated nor troubled by the
news. If this institution with all its
paraphernalia and its adjuncts had
outgrown old associations, here was
ample room in our prairie country.
I saw but little enthusiasm however,
and but few inquiries as to whether
it were coming by rail, by coach or
lumber cart, nor did we hear of any
loud demonstrations of joy on its
arrival, as we did of the A. & X.
railroad after the bonds were voted.
If it was an individual enterprise, or
a business experiment in an honora
ble calling, it was to be welcomed
like all others calculated to add to
the wealth, the enterprise or the in
telligence of the community. If it
was to bo a teacher of morals and
good breeding, or an exponent of
public sentiment, its success woulfr
materially depend upon its merits;
if it was demanded by the wants of
a political party, or by any ring or
clique therein, let them shoulder the
burden, the responsibility and the
result. Such, I doubt not, was the
conclusion of nearly all Republicans
in this city and county, and if I mis
take not, of a good portion of the
Democratic household. New life is
often inspired by competition, and
big fish, when lank and hungry,
sometimes dive into a deep pool and
eat up the little ones. Nothing
could be said then agaiust free, fair
and open competition. The Era
had never yielded an inch from the
unadulterated faith, nor a hair from
tho standard plumb-line of the party
or its mandates; its editorials were
olten written with considerable
ability aud it truckled to all the
party required with the most grace
ful submission, as it seemed to be a
combination of bread and butter and
nstinct, and hence when the oracles
of the party took snuu", the Era al
ways sneezed. If the editor was
either too lazy, or too careless in his
business habits, he should not be
blamed for his nature, and his early
training, and these trivial affairs did
not affect his constancy or his devo
tion; he was a good, joking, jovial
democrat, of unquestioned origin
and of standard weight, measure and
qualification, and oven though his
press was not as big as a dutch barn,
his paper was natisfying all the ab
solute needs of the party.
Well, in due time tho outfit arriv
ed and after a little flourish of
trumpets and some profuse promises
the Platte Valley Democrat was
ushered into existence. As a busi
ness experiment, so longas it should
maintain an honorable bearing, I
kuow of no individual or business
firm who did not express kind re
gards and good wishes for its suc
cess. As Republicans; wc care
nothing for its general attacks upon
the Republican parly or its leaders.
We expect to sec criticism of all the
distinctive Republican measures,
both in the state and general govern
ment; wc expect to see the acts of
public men assailed, their motives
called in question, and all the pro
gressive ideas of freedom openly
discarded or denounced all these
things wc are accustomed to, and as
a general rule a democratic paper or
its editor that cannot pull down the
Republican platform (on paper) tear
its ensign into tatters and do all the
dirty work of a partizan vassal under
the mask of patriotism, is not con
sidered worthy of his calling, or is
not properly qualified to discharge
the duties of his position. All this
tendency in our democratic bantling,
even before the moon had completed
a single revolution so as to enlighten
its comprehension, presented no new
nor alarming features, because we
arc accustomed to it, and arc im
pervious to all fulsome and -toreo-
typed assaults. In one thing how
evor many of us havo been disap
pointed, or rather our hopes havo
not been realized. From one who
claimed long fellowship in the edi
torial fraternity, we had reason to
expect decency and fair treatment to
his town associates, but instead of
this wc find a bellicose, boastful, and
jealous disposition, mingled with tho
most foul and unwarranted personal
abuse and misrepresentation of the
Jourxal, enough to disgrace a street
rough or a carpet bagger from the
land of Hottentots. In this I know
that tho editor of the Jourxal is
fully competent to defend aud take
care of himself, in his own way, but
on behalf of outraged decency and
on behalf of many representative
citizens whom I have heard freely
express their views, I protest against
the unbridled license (not liberty) of
tho press, either from a lack of judg
ment or a lack of sense, aud if such
people must cast out foul words aud
low-lived epithets, let them keep to
their own level and retire from res
pectable journalism. Tho Jourxal
has been dignified in its bearing and
even charitable in its indignant re
torts to defamation and slander. It
is too well known and established to
be frightened by threats or led estray
by braggarts, and it has too much
respect for itself and its readers in
tho family circle, aside from its sense
of justice and its own best interests,
to be enticed into the slough of vi
tuperation. Its history thu3 far
shows that it is not likely to be
driven from its moorings by invidi
ous reflections or personal abuse,
which can only recoil upon and in
jure their author. Such a course
persisted in by the Democrat will
not only strengthen tho Jourxal,
but will soon make the E-a, in com
parison with itself, quite a respecta
ble newspaper.
I havo no controversy with the
Democrat man, but I am addressing
the readers of the Jourxal in rela
tion to our duties in the premises,
believing we are not wholly clear if
wc permit our community to be dis
graced, simply stand aloof, conclude
it is no matter of yours, and allow
such petty scandal, low wit and de
grading personalities to go unrc
buked. A Citizen.
