large amount done to be the abso
lute rule.
Many persons in this vicinity,
believe that the B. & M. will con
struct a road from Seward through
Butler county to Columbus. A re
cent survey of the route brings tip at
the U. P. track in the eastprn pnrt
of this city.
Quito a hail storm visited por
tions of Lost creek lust Thursday
night during the rain storm. The
hail did some damage. One farmer
lost all his melons, the hail stones
dotting them with holes as if shot
with bullets.
Three Columbus gentlemen went
ducking the other day, but came
back suddenly and without any
birds. It was not difficult for any
one within nostril range to divine
the reason why. The kunk is a
peculiar kind of a bird.
Allie Rickly writes to his father
from Lincoln.underdate or the 13th :
I came down here to-day with one
of the bossps to see about getting
another contract. Our next jump
will be next week, between David
City and the Platte river.
Columbus clergyman are mak
ing use of the condition of Colum

friend, " they fail to connect."

Beaver, they will hurry to Battle
Creek and Oakdale.
A Polander, whose name has
escaped h, run against a section of
gas pipe Monday afternoon and was
knocked senseless for a few min
utes. The pipe projected from the
rear end of a wagon in front of
Kramer's, store, and the man was
running at full speed.
The remaining prisoners in the
jail Saturday night, tried to smoke
out the Band, by filling the stovo
under the escape-hole. The Band
retaliated by stopipngthe hole, thus
giving the " birds" smoke enough to
keep the mosquitoes quiet for the
night. Cook snowed like an old
war-horse.
Those going to the Som of Tem
perance picnic at Stevens's grove
next Friday are requested to he at
the hall over M. Smith's store,at nine
o'clock, where the procession will
be formed. Free transportation has
been provided for all. Come, every
body, w'th well filled baskets, and
enjoy yourselves.
Those of our eastern friends
who are subscribers to the Journal
for the purpose of ascertaining the
weather here, can rely upon the re
ports of our two observers as pub
lished in the columns of this paper.
They are both careful, pains-taking,
and thoroughly trust-worthy in their
observations and reports.
Mr. Q. B. Skinner and family
one of the oldest settlers of Platte
county, bnt of late years a prominent
and successful business man of Cen
tral City, has been visiting during
lat week with the family of David
Anderson. Mr. Skinner and Mr.
Anderson lived neighbors 18 years
ago, about 7 miles east of Columbus.
Barclay Jones of Monroe has
been awarded three mail-routes
Columbus to St. Bernard; Genoa
to St. Paul ; Albion to Central City.
Besides this, he has been appointed
government miller for the Santee
Sioux Agency. This will require
Barclay to spread himself out pret
ty extensively or draft some sub
stitutes. The G. A. R. purpose having a
reunion at Warren's Grove, Butler
connty, Oct. 7th-10th. The camp
fires will be lighted, aud side pork
and hard tack, with songs, &c will
be the order of the occasion. For
particulars inquire of Capt. John
Hammond, C. M. O. Col. "Woods
was in the city last week making
arrangements.
"Wednesday night of last week
at Rossiter Bros', farm on the Loup,
lightning struck the stable killing
two head of cattle, one of them a
valuable Durham, and setting the
stable on fire, which was promptly
put out almost as soon as discovered.
Mother Rossiter, who was recover
ing from an attack of typhoid fever,
was severely shocked by the lightning.
Ai L. Brooks, returned last Week
from quite an cxtensivo trip through
portions of southern Nebraska, and
northern Kansas. He passed over
a great portion of Decatur county,
Kansas, and Xuckols county, Neb.
He likes the latter county better than
any other on his trip ; land can be
bought there for $2.50 peracrc, with
plenty of limber, and water can be
obtained at a depth of 20 to 50 feet.
Mr. A. B. M. Ennis, of Lost
creek, was in the city Saturday and
left at tho Journal office a very
nice sample of new sweet potatoes
planted the 10th of June. Ho says
the wheat crop in that vicinity will
not yield so much as was expected
in the early part of the season, ou
account of the dry weather. He
believes winter wheat will do well
in this State and intends to sow
some this fall.
The Independents of Columbus
had a very enjoyable time at Madi
son Friday and Saturday lust. On
Friday they played a game with tho
Bat Smashers, resulting in 24 to 19
in favor of Columbus. In a game
Saturday morning Madison came
out ahead, 40 to 1G. Friday evening
was spent in a social way at the
Town Hall, with piano-music, &c.
The Columbus nine speak glowingly
of the handsome manner iu which
they were treated bv Madison.
V
Messrs. Jas. Lynch and Uat.
Hays have opened a grocery store
on the corner of Olive and 13th Sts.,
where their many friends and ac
quaintances will find them with a
fine assortment of family groceries,
canned and fresh fruits, teas, tobac
cos, wooden ware, etc. They arc
both well known in this commu
nity as fair-minded, honorable men,
and the public who use goods in
their line will find it profitable to
giye them a call.
The Journal has a large list
of readers iu Boone county ; for.
this reason we give place io a com
munication from there this week on
their R. R. proposition. Of course
it is their own affair, and the col
umns of the Journal have been
open for arguments, pro and con.
So far as our correspondent's as
sertion in regard to Columbus mer
chants is concerned, we are not able
to see with his spectacles, and $40,
000 to be disputed in Boone for
grading looks to us like a rather
large sum.
Last Thursday, when some of
our town folks were returning from
the S. S. pic-nic at Warren's Grove
they were placed in a momentary
dilemma on the Platte bridge, by
the foolish action of some drunk
men in charge of a team, who were
furiously driving over the bridge.
One team was on the turn-out and
the other not far behind when the
drunken men drove on the bridge.
Luckily the horses were all well
behaved animals, and by dint of
much hallowing and considerable
activity on the part of the sober men
of the crowd, accident and trouble
was prevented. One can very
readily imagine the importance of
being sober while driving a team
on a bridge.
A rather unusual unit was heard
by his honor, Justice Millett, list
Thursday evening. Action for re
straining a young lady by tho name
of Graham of her liberty, was
brought by her father, John Gra
ham, against Mr. and Mrs. Neil
Cartwright. The evidence showed
that on Sunday week Miss Graham
(.who is 22 y is, old), was out riding
with one Albert Tage, when Cart
wright and wife drove up, and Miss
Graham (sister of Mrs. Cartwright)
of her own accord went with them,
and left Tage. Of course, theyoung
lady being of age and having de
clared that sho was with the de
fendants of her own accord, the
justice could uot do otherwise than
discharge them.
The Teacher Institute will con
tinue in session till the last of next
week. Actual school-work is being
done, and no time wasted in frivol
ties that too often occupy the atten
tion of a promiscuous association of
teachers. Tho usual programme was
varied on Saturday by a pic-nic at
Stevens's lake,where of course some
thing was to be learned in the very
practical science of navigation ; also
the theory of projectiles, &c. "We
are not informed as to who gave
instructions on these subjects, but
we suggest the propriety of impart
ing instruction enough boforehand
to enable novitiates to sit down in a
boat with easo and promptitude. It
is expected that Prof. Collier of the
University will deliver a lecture
some time during the session. Mr.
Barrett is undoubtedly doing good
work for the schools of the county.
For a jjeicapaper that is not an
organ of the U. P. R. R. Co. (as it
professes not to be), the Democratia
just a little singular. All along it
has published what might reasona
bly be called nothing with reference
to the new railroad heading towards
Columbus, and in its lost issue it has
not one single word to say concern
ing tho progress of that road, but
"gathers" a paragraph of i'etns in
regard to the U. P. extension from
Jacksou. "Whenever we commeut
upon tho short-comings of our co
temporaries it is simply because we
wish to hold them np to a just sense
of their responsibility as journalists
and a lively appreciation of the fact
that the reading public believe iu
justice and impartiality in the gath
ering and disseminating ot news, as
well as in fair-dealing in other res
pects. "Wo must iusist that the
netogpaper which docs not give facta
that are public aud patent, and of
interest to its readers, is not right in
its motives or in its line of conduct.
We hope to see the Democrat im
prove in this respect, as it has done
in sorae others we could mention.

Just re-examine those resolu
tions of the Democratic Central
Committee. Don't they look a little
singular? The Committee seem to
be dictating to the party what they
shall do? It is presumable that the
Democrat refers to this when it
speaks of "some high bull-dozing,'
which it proposes at a more suitable
aud convenient season to sit down
upon. Which side of the contest
the Democrat purposes to take is not
vouchsafed to a fearfully anxious, if
meager, Democratic constituency.
But to the resolutions. The county
officers are to be nominated viva
voce. The motive, of course, is not
to save time, but so that a fellow can
tell whether his meu "stick" to him
or "go back" on him. The silent
ballot is the enemy of political trick
sters, the Nemesis of demagogues,
and the especial object of hatred to
bull-dozers. Then, it is "recom
mended" that the delegates do not
pledge themselves to any candidate.
ThiH is pretty gauzy, to say the least,
but it is only "recommended" and
sticklers can say they were not
"bound" by it. But the last resolu
tion must have brought the blush to
several laces present unless they
had tho imperturbability of a gov
ernment mule. What candidate
heretofore has been a traitor, so to
speak, has given aid or assistance to
the opposite party ? Did it occur in
the last campaign, or the last but
one? Who are the "traitors"? This
committee authorizes itself or its
successor to strike from the ticket
all aiders and abettors of the enemy.
Doubtless some such resolution Is
advisable, perhaps necessary to good
party discipline. We already know
of one probable Democratic candi
date who has promised his support
to a prospective Republican candi
date. Tie-up's of this kind are usu
ally disgracefnl to both parties, nnd
we are not inclined to wonder that
the uppermost part of the party re
solves against the practice. Is this
what the Democrat calls "high bull
dozing"? tinutave Ilcllborn
Opposite the Clotber House is in
receipt of a splendid stock of new
goods, and is prepared to suit you
to a nicety. The young gentleman
who ia self-respecting, and wishes
to make a good impression upon
his sweetheart will not fail to secure
a superb suit from this first-class
tailor. The gentleman of business
who wishes to appear neat, trim,
tidy and agreeable to his customers
will call and see how nice he can be
made to appear in a new suit from
Hellborn's fashion-emporium. What
is the use in going shabbily dressed
when you can get such a good cheap
suit at Hellborn's ? Don't you know
that more than half life's battle is
successfully fought when you make
a good appearance ? The reason of
this is because a man, "clad and in
his right mind," is ready to battle
with the world. Cleanliness, it is
said, Is next to godliness ; neatness
in apparel is next to cleanliness, and
may therefore be ranked third in
the order of good things to mortals.
Remember the place on Nebraska
Avenue.
The Convent School.
The Convent School, (conducted
by the Sisters of St. Francis,) will
resume its scholastic course on
Monday, .September 1st, cordially
inviting ail its former patrons to at
tend again. It will be a select school
henceforth, affording the pupils,
whose attainments in the common
branches are passably good, the
advantage of a higher course. At
present there will be three principal
classifications, viz: the third, em
bracing only the common branches ;
the secoud or intermediate, includ
ing besides tho common, one or
more of the higher branches; the
first, embracing the higher studies
ODly. German will be taught ia
each division, special attention being
paid to the German Grammar In the
first. Tuition for the 3d division
will be $1 a month ; for the 2d, $2 a
month ; for the 1st, $3 a month all
in advance.
The Democratic campaign which
opened In this county last Wednes
day promises to be a pretty lively
affair. Elsewhere wo condense the
proceedings of their Central Com.,
as found in the Era of Saturday
last. There is considerable com
ment here on the apportionment for
Columbus precinct. The Era has it
2 delegates, but wo are informed
that the committee reported Colum
bus as entitled to 6 delegates. We
are further informed that according
to the basis of apportionment, Co
lumbus precinct would be entitled
to 9 delegates. If this be true, then
the County Convention can rectify
the matter, and mete out equal and
exact justice to all concerned, in ac
cordance with time-honored maxims
of the party provided always that
the "other fellows" don't capture
the convention. As it looks to an
interested spectator on the outside,
there will be not two wings of a
Democratic party in this campaign,
but two parties, more intensely bit
ter against each other than they will
be against their common opponent.
The spectnclc of the Kilkenny cats
was probably uot a "circumstance"
to what this will be. Owing, doubt
less, to the present imperfect state
of mankind, the actions of politi
cians and office-seekers are not
characterized wholly by a disinter
ested public spirit which prefers the
weal of the good people at large to
the particular interests of Jehoni
dab Jingle, Esq., individually, and
so, very few saints will be found
mingling with the hosts that be will
marshalled for the fray at the Court
House on the 20th day of September,
at 1 o'clock, a. 111., "to nominate a
full ticket of county officials.".
