T. II. Saunders was in the city

unpleasant affair with the Rey.

Rev. A. Heinrich, and son of
Upper Shell Creek, were in the city
Monday. He reports a new-comer
by the name of Jones, looking for a
location iu that vicinity, who, if
suited, will remain. Some thresh
ing has been done in the neighbor
hood, the yield very light, caused, it
is believed, by the dry weather in
the early part of the season.
Our nurseryman, Geo. F. "War
ren, is still ahead, his peaches ripen
on the 4th of July. The one ho
brought us was perfectly ripe and
eaten by the 13th, and some of the
fruit ripened later this year on ac
count of being "bunched" too much.
Harvard Sentinel.
We acknowledge that Mr. J. R.
Kinnan, of Polk county, is beaten
ou early peaches, by the above state
ment. It is stated that Geo. L. Brown,
Esq., of David City, has entered the
ministry as a Methodist. Mr.
Brown will be remembered by many
of our Platte Co. readers as the gen
tleman who " figured" for the A. &
N. proposition in the late contest.
If he " ciphers" as well in the vine
yard as he did in the field, he will
do excellent service. Mr. Brown
possesses a lively imagination ; uses
a sure, logical method ; drives
straight to his object, and is as full of
solid facts as an egg is of meat.

between the A. & N's. and Inde
pendents resulted as given below :

Frank Cain umpired the game to
the satisfaction of both nines, being
the best umpire of the season. The
A. & N's. bad not practiced since
before harvest, and their hands were
tender from binding grain. They
hope iu a few weeks to give the In
dependents a closer call. Our boys
arc improving every game they piny
and go to Madison next Friday for
a game.
In the items from North Bend,
published in the Schuyler Stm, men
tion is made of Rev. Harriger, who
was formerly a citizen of Columbus,
and who it is stated has departed
from the faith of John "Wesley and
the Bible, and has proposed to lec
ture against the Bible, claiming that
it i9 contradictory and a mass of
mistakes. Among other things he
snys if there is a hell it is in the
Methodist church. In his reply to
the charge of being an infidel and a
lunatic, he pointedly denies both
but the writer modestly declines to
express his opinion on that branch
of the subject.
G. "W. Stevens certainly deserves
the thanks of this community for
providing them a pleasant place of
resort during the hot days of sum
mer. His grounds are a few min
utes, drive from the city, and are
pleasantly located on the banks of
Spring lake. Among the properties
of the place are " Lady of the Lake,"
three good, strong swings, a number
of tables, and benches under the
broad branches of forest trees, a
croquet set, &c, &c. These, though
not costly, have not been provided
for nothing, and we are glad to learn
that the public appreciation is such
that Mr. Stevens is getting back
sorao of the outlay he has made. He
purposes continuing his improve
ments with the revenue derived
from the use of the place by asso
ciations, parties and families, to the
end that Columbus may have a very
pleasant place of resort, and the
proprietor a reasonable remunera
tion for his trouble aud expense.
The Nebraska Wcsleyan Uni
versity has been incorporated and
permanently located at our neigh
boring town Osceola, Polk co., Neb.

Nkho, Aug. II, 1879.
The. funeral services of "Old
Mother Loseke," wife of Jno. Henry
Loseke, took place at the German
Lutheran church, of which she. was
a lively member, Monday, the 11th
of August. A large concourse of
friends and acquaintances were in
attendance to do homage to the
memory of one who was respected
by all who knew her. Her age was
G9 years, 2 months and 27 days. She
leaves a husband and four children
to lament her loss. She, with her
husband aud four children, immi
grated to this country from Ger
many, in the year 1858, and settled
in May of that year. Her four chil
dren live on well improved farms
surrounding her home, and all are
loved and respected as good neigh
bors and citizens. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by the Rev.
Ernst Frese. pastor of the German
Lutheran church of this place.

We call attention to Mr. Goer's
card elsewhere published in to-day's
Jouknal. He has been here but a
few months, but like every other in
telligent man who has taken iu the
situation of affairs he sees the para
mount importance to Columbus of
cultivating a business acquaintance
with the Loup. Let the matter be
taken in hand by some of our busi
ness men and a meeting called to
discuss the proposition of Mr. Gecr.
The survey will certainly not cost
much, and may result iu very great

In the 21 regular observations
made during the week ending 8 p.
m., Aug. 10th, 9 calms and 12 light
variable winds were noted. Ou the
average about three-fifths of the
sky's surface were covered with
clouds. A rain storm occurred Mon
day uight, when eight-tenths of an
inch of water fell at Columbus. A
slight display of aurora borealis
occurred at 10 p. in. Saturday.

The -competition between the
U. P. and B. & M. railroad compan
ies has just commenced in central
Nebraska, and appears to be run
ning wild at the start, if one should
judge by former rates charged on
freights. Recently rates have been
reduced between Omaha and Kear
ney to five cents per hundred
weight, and a corresponding reduc
tion on stock along the line varying
from $10 to $30 per car.
Attention Kummer Gnards
There will be a special meeting at
our hall on Thursday evening, for
tho purpose of being measured for
uniform. Every man come.
J. N. Lawson, Capt.
Columbus Ulilitia Company.
The following article has been
prepared by a gentleman friendly to
the organization of the militia :
Doubtless mauy of our citizens
already know about, and are inter
ested in the formation of the com
pany of State militia recently or
ganized in town, and known as the
"Kummer Guards." For the infor
mation of all we will state that the
company has been fully organized
and officers commissioned as fol
lows : John N. Lawson, captain ;
R. II. Henry, first lieutenant, and
John "W. Early, second lieutenant,
and orders forwarded for uniforms.
Arms will be provided by the State
as soon as the company is uniform
ed. The uniforming is a condition
precedent to obtaining arms, the
Governor having determined to
withdraw arms previously issued to
ununiformed companies, and to issue
them only to those having a uni
form. All volunteer organizations
of militia or firemen, and- kindred
associations arc indisputably a pub
lic benefit; and it is the duty of the
public to encourage and assist them
in every possible way. This is
doubly true, where the men are uu
paid, as in our city. They give a
portion of their time each week, or
as often as may bo necessary, for the
purposes of drill, public duty, or
protection, being enlisted and sworn
to obey the call of the Governor to
assist in suppressing riots, insurrec
tions, and armed incursions within
our State, for the period of three
years. A well armed, uniformed.
and drilled militia company is,
moreover, a great pride to any city,
and seems to call public attention
toward it. Many of the towns in
our State have become fully alive to
the importance of maintaining mili
tia organizations in their midst, and
have subscribed liberally, to assist
them iu procuring uniforms and
necessary equipments. Omaha is
raisiug the sum of $3,600, to uniform
and equip two companies. Sutton
is uniforming onrf'company. Hast
ings one. Wood River one ; besides
other towns whose names escape us.
The majority of our company will
pay for their own uniforms; but
some of the men arc not able to do
so, and thev have therefore appoint
ed a committee consisting of Messrs.
Jno. "W. Early, C. A. Speice, D. D.
AV'adsworth, Gus. Lockuer and T. C.
Ryan to visit our citizens, and solicit
subscriptions to aid them in pur
chasing uniforms and equipments.
It is hoped and believed that the
people of Columbus will not be slow
in showing in a substantial way,
their appreciation of the efforts of
these militiamen to establish a com
pany that shall bo a credit to the
town. It should not be said that
other folks arc more generous-hearted
and liberal-minded than the peo
ple of our own prospering town.
"You Bet."
Mannerisms are not agreeable, and
those of language are about as pecu
liar as any other. Many men and
women who constantly use a partic
ular word or p!.ra.o are not con
scious of the fart, and therefore the
habit, in them, would be difficult to
overcome. About the first step in
any reform U "to sec oursilves as
ithers ee us;" at least we have the
assurance of Robby Burns that 'twill
"from moiiy a blunder free us, en'
foolish notion." "We once knew a
lawyer who stereotyped the phrase
"I apprehend that," and with that
"start" he seemed to readily collect
his thoughts. In a sermon, deliver
ed in the heat of a long summer day,
we counted the word "felicity" 250
times, and then didn't begin until
the fact of rcpitition was distressing
ly apparent. That sermon was a
written one, by a clergyman held iu
high regard for his good sense, and
who occupied the same pulpit for
tweuty-five years ; ''felicity" was his
chief word, but there were a score
of others used in the same manner,
though not to a like extent. Excla
mations, such as "Gracious me,"
"Good gracious," "I want to know,"
"You don't say so," "I 6ay," &c, arc
by no means uncommon, and slang
phrases such as"Wipe off your chin,"
"Pull down your vest," "Cheese it,"
&t, do hourly duty on the street.
But there are other mannerisms
which are much moreannoying,and,
at short range, much lcea amusing
than these, as for instance: a lady,
when perplexed, twirls a tuft of hair
on the top of her head ; a gentleman
who chews tobacco allows the juice,
while he is talking, to run out at the
corners of his mouth ; au other, who
don't use tobacco, keeps up a contin
ual chewing on his finger nails; still
an other, while talking to you, will
put his face right up into yours, and
becloud you with the effluvia which
exhales from decaying teeth or a
diseased stomach. Those who do
these things are generally good peo
ple, conscious of no wrong, and
would be the last ones to give of
fence, but they, like all of us, need
to ponder the prayer of Burns,
"Oh, wad onie power the giftie gie us,
To see oursilves as Ithers see us.
'Twould from jnony a blunder free up,
An' foolish notion."

Ed. Journal:' If the business men
of Columbus and parties interested
in the supposed water power on the
Loup river in or near Columbus will
cause a prelimiuary survey of site
showing the fall from given points

I will undertake to get parties to
invest capital in its improvement, if
there can be suffiebMit power secur

CRE3TON.
Dedication of the First Church.
August 2d, 1S79.
Mr. Editor : I wish you aud all
interested in Creston could have
been here last Sunday upon the oc
casion of the dedication of tho first
church. It was a great day for
us, marking a new era in our com
munity. Five years ago when this
precinct began to be settled,
we could not have imagined that
in so short a time such a good house
of worship would be secured, still
it is not surprising when we take
into conside ration the character
of tho settlers, nearly all of them
church-goers before they left their
former homes, and it was their in
dividual aud collective determina
tion to maintain the worship of God
in the new settlement; for this pur
poso they met every Lord's day
cither iu dwellings or school-houses,
holding Sunday school aud other
religious services, thus, no doubt,
stamping this as a law-abiding,
Christian community, as the first
years determine the character of
settlements as well as individuals.
The Pros. Board of Church Erec
tion has aided in its building, but all
the people are free to worship iu it,
irrespective of denomination, as all
have willingly helped by contribu
tions of labor or money. The house
is of wood, 30x20, painted white;
the inside is very neat and tasty, the
wood work is grained in a highly
artistic manner, oak and maple;
there is a slightly raised platform
with a reading desk. The entrance
is very stylish and churchhj, having
large, double doors with transom
above; the doors open into a vesti
bule 0 ft. square, from which double
swinging doors admit into the room :
it is lighted iu the daytime by six
large windows, and at night by drop
and pulpit lights; it is seated with
comfortable chairs, making altogeth
er a pleasant church home.
The exercises were very profitable
and interesting, consisting of ser
mon by Rev. Mr. Little of Omaha;
financial statement; a formal setting
apart of the church to divine wor
ship by the people of Creston ; Ded
icatory prayer by Father McCand
lish.all interspersed by good singing.
In the afternoon most excellent short
speeches were made by Revs. Little,
3icuanulish, Anson, Wilson, the re
tiring pastor, and Kimball, the one
just entering upon the field. The
house was well filled, several large
loads of people coming from Madi
son and Humphrey. Sky and air
lent their charm to the occasion, and
altogether it was a day long to be
remembered in Creston. x. n.
