last Tuesday, and visited tho Jouit
kal office, where wc found the rep
resentative book and job printer of

looks natural to see Charles A. nt his
old post. Genoa Magnet.

i of the old rate, where it will proba-
uiy remain ior awnilc.
The bonds to aid in the con
struction of a railroad by way of St.
Edwards to Albion in Boone county
were carried last week by a vote
of twelve to one. Only fifty-one
votes cast against the boiuls in the

Denver and Dublin precincts did not
cast a single vote against, but went
solid for the bonds. The citizens of
Boone couuty are jubilant over the
result.
A pleasant party took place at
the residence of Edward Perkinson
Friday evening last, which was
largely attended by their many
friends on Shell Creek and this city.
Everybody seemed to enjoy them
selves. A sumptuous supper was
served aud then the merry dancers
tripped away the flying moments
until "the wee sma' hours ayant the
twal," when good night was said,
and the party broke up, which will
long be remembered by those who
were present.
A portion of the Cody theatri
cal troupe left the city on the cast

eators of Indian character; David

Thomas Flynii visited David
City tho first of the week io investi
gate for himself into their new way
of burning brick, etc. He tells us
that brick are being bold there at
the kiln for $7.00 a thousand, and iu
tho wall for ;?10.00. The brick are.
burned with grass for fuel, a sort of
furnace being made, and a blast
thrown into the kiln. Mr. Flynn
thinks the method (which is patent
ed) a success, and has purchased the
right for Platte county, provided it
proves satisfactory. Lime, which is
burned near Seward, is sold for 75
cents a bhl. at the kiln.
Messrs. Godfrey, Josselyn, Tyr
rel and Petersen were in a light
wagon Monday, returning from a
fish, enjoying themselves hugely,
coming home after a nice jaunt.
Godfrey was driving, of course with
the inevitable pipe in his mouth,
when nil of a sudden the moving of
a cow in a thicket of weeds near the
station house, frightened the horse,
who suddenly sprung to one side
overturning the wagon and spilling
the contents on the ground promis
cuously. No bones broken, but all
of them arc conscious now that some
part of their anatomy is heavy like.
Godfrey's first exclamation, when
ho got up, looked around, aud eaw
thatnobody was killed, was"Where's
my pipe?" one end of which was
sticking iu his mouth.
Mr. J. II. Paine, was iu the city
last Saturday. We learn that he
has been sent out from Washington
City in the interest of the Agricul
tural Department to obtain speci
mens of soil at different points be
tween Omaha and San Francisco,
which will be forwarded to the lab
oratory of the Department at Wash
ington for the purpose of ascertain
ing what grain, seeds &c, the
Department can best recommend for
the several localities. The speci
mens obtained by Mr. Paine for
Platte county were taken about
four miles north of this city. We
learn from Mr. Paine that Gen. La
Due, the commissioner, is making
every effort to place the Agricul
tural Department upon tho best
possible basis. The purchase and
distribution of seeds is made under
the cypress provisions of law-and
distributions mostly made to Agri
cultural societies and such individ
uals as will faithfully cultivate the
same and report results to the De

About 1 o'clock Saturday those
who were iu Kramer's store were
startled by the sudden giving away
and falling of tho fihelvcs on the
west side. The "racket" began at
the east end of the seveuty feet of
(shelving, but giving very little
warning for escape. The goods, of
course, were precipitated to the
counter and floor, scattered and
piled very promiscuously. A little
child, in tho arms of its mother,
was considerably frightened and
added its share of uoise to the gen
eral confusion. Fora moment only,
the busy force were quiet, and then
M. K. issued orders for having the
shelves "fixed" and the goods piled
up. No one was hurt, which is very
fortunate and surprising, consider
ing the suddenness of the loosening
from the wall, and the great weight
of the shelves aud goods.
Sheriff Spiclman was lately
charged with receiving a postal card
from North PlattP, giving informa
tion as to the wJ.eienbouts Of the
horse- stolen several weeks ago
from C E. Morse and Pat. Griffin,
and the thieves as well, without in
forming the parties concerned. Mr.
Spiclman says he ha3 never received
any such card, which we suppose is
sufficient to say iu the case. If Ben.
did not receive tho information he
cortainly could not bo held respon
sible for not conveying it to somo
oue else. It may be unfortunate for
him that Uncle Samuel's machinery
hasn't worked to perfection this
time, but assuredly it will not. be
laid to him as a fault.
For Kale.
House and lot in Columbus for
sale cheap. Inquire at the Journal
office, or of George Derry.
Wo knew that it would como
6omo time. Posing for position could
not last always. Tho Era dares tho
Democrat to throw down the gaunt
let, "if old Flop Tail or Mr. Crites
is plagued with any desire to enter
into a newspaper warfare," &c, &c.
Wc deprecate this calling of names,
which seem to bo only sound and
fury, signifying nothing. Can the
brethren no longer dwell iu unity?
Why such a sudden outbreak? Is U
possible that Henslcy has been mar
shalling his forces all this time, col
lecting his munitions of war, as it
were, and fortifving his bread
basket? While the tone of the Era's
challenge is rather doubtful, uncer
tain, unsteady like, it will not do
for the Democrat to presume upon
this being cowardice at all. The
Democrat must not suppose, because
its august preseucc has overawed
the Era for a few weeks, that that
slate of feeling will continue. The
Munition was new to the Era, and
for a time the captain of that vessel
didn't exactly know where he was,
hut he has taken his observations
now, knows his latitude and longi
tude, knows also the exact depth of
water below, has dashed the salt
spray from his eyes, as he says, aud,
in his own pure classic phrase, will
'pitch iu.'' Of course the Jouk.val
can only be a spectator, more or le?s
interested, but we beg of the bellig
erants au adheraucc to the modes of
warfare recognized among the civ
ilized nations of the earth. Please
stay within the allotted ring, and
don't strike below tho belt.

Heavy ISanZc Collcry.
Columbus, O., Aug. 2C.-At fif
teen minutes to 2 o'clock this after
noon, a respectable -looking man
walked into the Capital City hank,
called President S. S. Rickley's at
tention, and entered into conversa
tion a ooiu uic purctiase ot some
bonds. Iu a few minutes another
man came in and also engaged Rick
ley's attention concerning some oth
er business. The first man slipped
away, walked over to the water
cooler and Mr. Ricklcy supposed he
was only taking a drink. Rickley's
attention being drawn toward the
last man, he lost sight of the man at
the cooler. Presently ho saw him
leave the bank. Going into the
vault, Mr. Ricklcy discovered that
.$5,000 in currency aud ;J15,000 in
bonds were stolen. He was wild
with excitement aud returned from
the vault just in time to see the con
federates leave. The counter of the
bank-room is protected by wire
screens. The vault opens behind
the counter, and can be reached
only from behind. Great excite
ment prevailed for some time. The
following is a description of the lost
property: Currency, fi,8S0; $1,000
in ColiimbiiH city hall bonds, and
$11,000 in 4 per cent, bonds. The
hank only loses the currency. The
bonds are private deposits. The
bank offers $2,000 reward for the
arrest and conviction of the thieves.
The above is clipped from the
Chicago Times. President S. S.
Ricklcy is a brother of John Rickley
of this city.

THE WHITE SEWING MACHINE
Its Superior Advantages.
It is so simple in construction thai
little or no Instruction Is required to
become proficient in its use. A child
can use it. It has a sclf-ietting needle.
Its upper tension is easily controlled,
and after being once regulated, is auto
matic, requiring no change for any kind
of ordinary family work.
It is the lightest running machine
made, and In nearly noiseless feature
which no lady can ailord to overlook iu
the selection of a sewing machine.
It is adapted to any kind of rewiii,
from the lightest muslin and silk to the
heaviest woolen or cotton goods, and
guaranteed to execute any kind of work
ever wanted iu a family.
It ha the best treadle ever attached
to a sewing machine; it being no con
structed as to operate with perfect cas"b,
and without fatigue to the most delicate
lady.
Its working part? are case-hardenfcd
iron or steel, and so constructed that
the lost motion" in all the wearing
parts from long and constant use can Be
taken up by the simple turning of a
screw.
Its shuttle Is self-threading, made of
solid steel, and carries a larger bobbin
than almost any other family sewing
machine. The tension can be changed
without rcmovingit from the machine.
It has more room under the arm than
any other machine made, making It
very desirable for dress-makers, seam
stresses, tailors and others, who often
wish to carry the fabric under the arm
without crushing It.
It has a device by which the bobbins
cac be tilled without running the entire
machine, thereby relieving It from wear
for this purpose, as , also, relieving the
operator of the necessity of removing
the work or attachments, as ii the case
in nearly all other machines.
It has a double steel feed, or a feed on
both sides of the needle, which enable
the operator to carry the fabric through
cither side of the needle, as may be de
sired. This feature, combined with the
large space under the arm, is found In
no other machine, and is an advantage
which should not be overlooked.
The result of this combination is the
"WHITE" the easiest-selling, the
most durable, the cheapest, best and
largest family Sewing Machino In the
world. For Sale at Doland's Columbus
Drug Store.
