day last week, by his horso making

E. M. Sparhawk and wife re
cently visited friends in Howard
county. He called Monday and left
us a specimen of concrete made from
the Beebe lime. We consider it
better than that in the concrete

the main objection to the Beebe lime
is that it is too much like cement.

John Henry Loseke, well known
to many of our readers as one of the
oldest residents in Platte county,
father to the Loseke Bros., was in
the city Monday, and, in company
with his sou Herman, made his first
visit to the Journal office, taking a
look at the machinery used to get
up a newspaper. Mr. Loseke is sev
enty years old, but to us looks hale
and heart', and as though he had
never done a mean thing in his life.
Call again.
Wm. Routson was down to the
Platte river Friday, where tho A. &
N. bridge men have built their shan
ties; they were hauling piles Fri
day on to the riyer bed. By the cud
of the present week the new road
will be built to this side of the bluffs
south of the Platte, aud be but a
short way from the Platte. Various
conjectures are made iu relation to
the length of time required to build
the bridge, but good judges have
said that after tho rails are laid to the
river, four week's time will see it
completed.
Tho last Era has some comments
upon V. Kutnmcr for retaining as
deputy, so long a time, J. W. Early,
a Republican, and upon Early's ap
pointing Louis Weaver as deputy.
Mr. Kummer doubtless knew what
he was about when he selected Mr.
Early for deputy, aud entrusted to
him so much of his work for so many
years, and we rather guess that John
W. likewise understands his busi
ness. Louis is a young man of
ability, integrity and good habits,
and, wo believe, will honor himself
and tho office. Ho is not yet a voter,
but wo are informed that his sym
pathies aud thoughts arc in the
direction of republicanism. He
speaks German, is intelligent and
honest, presumably suits his chief,
and if the public shall be well served,
we see no reason why the Era sho'd
not be satisfied.
Our highly esteemed Bourbon
contemporary on 11th st. speaks of
the Journal as a "bankrupt institu
tion" by way of a "joke." Is it
getting the journalistic "jim-jams,"
or is the indulgence of such exceed
ing mirth a portion of its daily
bread? We have long been endeav
oring to bring our wayward Bour
bonic brethren to the high standard
of the JoniiNAL,and are yet not with
out a glimmering ray of hope, that
may come to appreciate its work and
they worth. When any citizen under
takes a difficult task, solely in the
interests of public morals and the
general welfare, he should have the
aid of his fellow-citizens, and the
hearty concurrence of those most to
be benefited. We know that this
community are with us in this mat
ter, and therefore we do not despair.
"To all affairs of importance there
arc three necessary concurrents
lime, industry, and faculties." The
first is an element of uncertain dur
ation in human affairs ; the possess
ion of the second can not be denied
to the Journal, but we ourselves
are, at limes, partially inclined to
to fear that, after all, we perhaps
have not just the faculties adapted
to the thorough reform of onrBour
bonic contemporary, which seems
troubled with such frightful dreams
and visions that it turns the sweet
milk of human kindness into sour
curds. In thunder tones, with most
earnest entreaty, the Journal im
plores its Bonrbou cotemporary to
stop in its mad career before it
plunges off into the abyss, for
" Whoshould terant with wanderinr feet.
i The dark, unbottomed, infinite abyss?"
A BIG DEAL IN CATTLE.
A 8S0.000 TransactloH. Pretty
Good for "Demi" Columbus.
On last Saturday, L. B. Shepherd,
1 ot Beli Creek, Nob., came to our
'uuad" city to purchase some cattlo
for the Chicago market. He pur
chased 500 head of corn-fed steers,
and 450 fat hogs of Baker & Gillett;
75 head of steers of Chas. Reinke ;
100 head of Becker & Welch, and 100
head of Tumor & Raymond. These
cattle have been well fed, aud of
course, are in a marketable condi
tion. We understand that the cost
of tho sheds, cattle and hogs and
feeding of Baker & Gillett, was only
$13,000 and they realized the neat
sum of $20,000 on the 500 head of
steers alone. While this seems like
a large per centago for these parties,
who have bought aud fed the cattle
for speculation, it would be a small
percentage to the farmer who raises
his own cattle, aud feeds them from
the products of labor on his farm.
This is an illustration of the money
made in cattle, and for every farmer
that goes into it gradually as circum
stances will admit, there is a great
and certain gain. These cattle are
to be shipped within a short time,
and we presume the speculators will
immediately fill up their corrals for
another deal.
rih Aid Meeting;.
Pursuant to call, and after somo
excellent music by the Columbus
Band, quite a number of citizens as
sembled at the Opera House Satur
day evening, and discussed at con
siderable length the sufferings and
and oppressions of the people of
Ireland. J. E. North was elected
president of the meeting; John
Staufler, secretary, and J. P. Becker,
treasurer. The president stated the
object of the meeting in a brief
opening 9pecch, which was followed
by some excellent discourses by the
following gentlemen: J. J. Sulli
van, Jndgo Higgins, W. N. Hcnslcy,
Nelson Millott, Rev. Sherman, John
Rickly, A. W. Crites, M. II. O'Brien
aud others. The discussion led to
the political view of the situation,
which was soon checked. It was
suggested that if free transportation
could be had, more could be done
here by shipping grain than in any
other way, but the president urged
that that might ultimately be the
result here, but that they needed
money for immediate relief. Tho
following ladies were appointed in
each ward to collect fuuds for that
purpose: 1st ward, Mrs. Peter
Meyer, Mrs. Ed. Clark, Miss Louisa
Rickly ; 2d ward, Mrs. Wm. Lamb,
Mrs. T. C. Ryan, Miss Ada Millett;
3d ward, Mrs. A. W. Crites, Mrs.G.
W. Clother, Mrs. G. G. Bowman.
The following gentlemen were ap
pointed to act in conjunction with
them: South side of tho track, F.
Brodfeuhrer, E. D. Sheehan ; north
side, John Hammond, D. C. Kavan
augh. The result of the meeting
was $48.10 cash.

Dear Journal: If not too late,
I would like to add a few words to
the many wise ones that have been
said upon the important subject of
establishing manufactures in your
city. Coming from one of the cen
tres of production, I cannot but feel
that nothing adds more to the male
rial wealth of a city than such en
terprises. More than a hundred years the
city in which I was born, (I was not
in it all the time.) plodded along as
a pleasant suburb of New York city,
doing a little business among its own
residents aud tho farmers aronnd ;
suddenly its residents were aroused
to the importance of the manufact
uring interests; inducements were
offered in the shape of land grants
and other privileges, and a few fac
tories were opened with small be
ginnings; gradually the stream
turned toward them, until when a
few years ago an Industrial Exhibi
tion was held composed entirely of
her own productions filling an im
mense rink, it was found that there
was not an article in general use that
was not made within her limits; her
population bad increased from 10,000
to 150,000; thousands of operatives
filled its streets and churches, and
spent their money among its busy
merchants. If such was the result
in this case why will not history re
peat itself iu your city ? In deciding
upon what branch of business it is
best to first introduce, it seems to
rac consideration should be had to
the availability of the raw material,
the ease with which it can be pro
cured would of course cheapen its
production ; the flax straw piles
which are burned every year would
break the hearts of a company of
rope makers. I am sure there are
hundreds of pounds of rags burned
every year iu Platte county for the
want of an available market; not
many sounds would delight the
housekeeper's heart more than that
of the liu-pcddlar's bell for whose
ware they could exchange rags and
other scraps; then of course a glu
cose factory could find an abundance
of material. n. n.
Mr. D. Clark, who has recently
moved into Creston precinct, from
Iowa, is proving himself a valuable
acquisition to society; he not only
brought bia money, but has added
largely to the census. He brought
three nice liltfe girls with him, and
a few weeks ago his wife presented
him with a fine pair of rosy daugh
ters, the first twins born in the pre
cinct; he met with an accident last
week which it is to be hoped will
not be serious enough to prevent his
enjoying the society of the young
ladies, especially duriug the long
Winter nights.
