. .A few years ago even Columbus
shipped but little grain ; now there
are a score of towns within 40 miles
that do a considerable busiuess in
that line. Tho Home News says
that On Wedneeday last eight car
loads of grain were shipped from
Osceola.
The Transcript, of Feb. 11th,
published at Golden Colo., says : A
little daughter was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Prank P. Burgess on Monday
morning last. Frauk is down at To
peka now, but will doubtless rush
home to see what kind of a "take"
he has got this time.
nenry Woods, proprietor of the
Chicago Barber Shop, is running in
full force again. "Fatty" has finally
procured the services of an old
friend of his from Chicago, Mr. P. J.
Neff, lato of the Gratid Pacific Bhop.
Give him a trial and then you will
know how it is yourself. "Next I"
Wo neglected last week to men
tion the fact that Wm II. Hamilton;
Deputy Sheriff" of Boone County,
was in the city in pursuit of a man
who had got possession of a team
of horses and wagon and skipped
out in the directiou of this city. Wo
did not 'learn, either of tho capture
of the man or team.
. I We .received several communi
cations last week, and one again
this, touching the question raised in
a communication to tho Journal by
Missla" Wescdtt in regard to aid
for the Irish, arid aid for the negroes
of Karisali We have .not found
space for, their publication, but will
make room for them next week.
Thomas Hall givos the follow
ing answer o the weH problem,:
The first well is G4 feet deep, the
second 25G feet, tho difference of
course, 192 feet. A. B. M. Ennis
gives the same result. "Zero". of
Platte Centre says that the difference
is 193 feet. Who shall decide the
depths of theso wells, when doctors
so differ?
W. N. McCandlish has left us
.several" spe'eimbns of broom, corn,
'grown "by one of his neighbors, W.
J. Belknap. There ia a singular
freak of 'nature connected with -all
these splBens, 8d, Universal that it
may be5cnttlea tob.e called a law,
and that.rsUhat they are all curled,
and'MK Belknap says that this is
n.njiewally , tho4 case with, broom
corn planted in an alkali spot.
Phil. Cain received from Powell
Bros, of Pennsylvania last week tho
three'year old filly "Estell," aud a
Uetter'brcd otio cau -not be found in
the Wost. We expect to see Phil,
before long with his blue cap pulled
down over hist left "car, just more
than putting on style, and making
all the boys drive in -the dust. We
will just give you a "pointer" Phil,
and that is, keep clear of M. K. with
"Queeny" or you may have to tako
a back seat.

Qaitc a number of bur citizens
were at the new railroad bridge on
last Sunday. There are now engag
ed on the work two pile-drivers,
ana tue tract; ia an completed as
they go. Of late the state of the
river has been rather against the
builders, but tbey have completed
about one-third of the entire struct
ure, and it is thought that the road
will be completed into Columbus by
the first of April. The bridge
crosses the river at Haney's or
KovtM Island. .. v
Rev- Shcrmau has lately been

Joe Gross returned from Chica
go Wednesday last.- He. reports
trade there as tip-top, Te whole
saling is the best- ft ak been in
.fifteen years, prices afl liave an up
ward tendency, and merchants say
there is no trouble to sell readily.
Joe saw the electric light, and goes
into ecstacie8 in speaking of it.
Take a large room lighted by gas,
and in a remote corner strike a
match and let it blaze, and that, Joe
says, represents .the gas, compared
with thef new light. E. J. Baker,
who accompanied Joe. to Chicago,
went on to Ohio. '
Joliu Strasscr.
Our cilizeus were startled Mon
day morning by a telegram that
John Strasscr of Jackson had acci
dentally killed himself. The coro
ner, A. Heintz, was summoned, and
from him we get most of tho follow
ing facts. Strasscr recently moved
from the town to his farm, about a
half mile west of Jackson. The
building formerly used as a post
office at Jackson, was moved to tho
farm and used as a sort of store-room
for miscellaneous articles, and in
this he had a breech-loading, double
barrqlled 'shot gun. Mr. Strasser
had fed his stock and cat his break
fast'. After breakfast and at about
8 o'clock, he told his wife that he
would take his gun and go to the
bluffs wolf hunting. In a few min
utes afterwards a loud report was
heard and Mrs. Strasser, not seeing
any one in sight, but supposing that
a wolf had been shot, went around
tho house, her neice going in an
other direction. They mot, the child
saying "Uucle is dead," and so it
was. The body was found lying on
the floor, and the brains about ten
feet faff, a3 though they had-been
taken out of the skull by' a Burgeon,
and placed there; fragments wero
scattered all around. It appears as
though the contents of both barrels
had gono into the skull near the
right ear, and it is supposed that tho
accident wa3 caused by his catching
tho gun near the muzzle, pulling it
out from its resting place, behind
the door, accidentally striking the
hammers against a small box.
The Coroner's, jury, consisting of
J. VShelder, Peter X. Martz, Ja'cob
Gerbcr,B. A. Byrne, Geo. L.Diefon
bach and H. Mahler, rendered a
verdict of death by accidental
shooting.
Tho deceased was a native of tho
canton of Berne, Switzerland, and
was about forty years of age ; he had
been in America 14 years, in Ne
braska 11, coming hero from Key
West, Florida, where ho had been in
the service of tho government.
His body was lowered to its final
resting place yesterday at 3 o'clock
by his brethren of the Knights of
Honor, in their simple and touching
ceremonial. Peace to his memory.
There is a little honse near the
corner of Nob. Ave. and 13th St.,
occupied of late by some parties, not
"indigenous" to this 6oil, which was
tho scene of quite an incident last
Friday night. The transaction, il
seems, was witnessed by several of
our citizens. About nine o'clock
the door of tho place was opened
and a man thrust out, the thruster
saying to n female within, "if you
like him better than you do me, go
with him." The man that the wo
mrtn seemed to "like better" soon
returned with a piece of gas pipe
from in front of Coolidge's hard
ware store, and struck down his
assailant of a few minutes before
hitting him a very heavy blow on
the shoulder, and so on, and so forth.
The matter came iuto court next
day before Justice Bailey on the
complaint of one Doc. C. L. dem
ons, a veterinary surgeon, agaiust
one Louis Gray, a lightuing rod pod
Ieivfor assault with intent to kill.
A "change of venue ,was taken to
James Russell, and the trial was' sot
for yesterday at 10 a. m.
Elsewhere we call attention to
Arbor Day, an institution that has
been of untold value to Nebraska
in encouraging the culture of forost
and fruit trees. J, Sterling Morton,
of Nebraska City, and ari 'old
citizen of .the State who has always
taken a lively interest in everything
pertaining! to' Iho dcvelopemont of J
i i r' "' l l . t' I
us nuiunii rusuurcuH, uus huh 10 say
to Dr. Miller of the Omaha Herald :
"Please call attention to Arbor Day,
the 3d Wednesday in April, 1880,
and exhort to a now energy in trco
planting all over Nobraska. With
plain black walnut lumber at $50
per M, already a blind man can sec
that twenty-five years henco, tho
bushel of to-day of walnuts may
have grown iuto a, bushel of silver
dollars. Then "Nebraska can be a
lumber shipping State; more, hwill
5e,'if the -present' is improved by
zealous tree-planting."
Parks have been called tho
breathing-places 'of cities, the lungs,
as-it wore While our gentle zeph
yrs, and our wide, streets preclude
the. tfbtion. oj( smothering we ""think
it would bo , nirel! for our public,
spirited citizens to unite with the R.
R. Co. and enclose, and beautify the
grounds north of tho track and be
tween Olivo and Quincy streets.
Tho Companyhave planned some
sort Jof adornment, we believe, 'the
setting out of evergreens, &c, and
will probably put up an additional
wind, mil and water tank on that
side, "this season, and if the whole
place "could bo made a thing" of
beauty, a pleasure, a delight to the
eye of every traveler and citizen, it
would be a vast improvement over
the present appearance.
--
Officials in charge of money or
valuables can not be too cautious or
careful, as for instance f The Stan
ton,. Register says -The 'pjMt-office
atiWisaeriwas robbed of six; 'hun
dred dollars on. ast Friday .evening.
uepuiy Annn went to supper, leav
ing the safe open. The thief left a
note in the office slating that he was
much obliged.4 It don't" cost any
thing to be polite, and it makes bus
iness slip along more smoothly.
Our. lCHver Letter.
February Sth, 18S0.
Editor Journal: I promised
some of my friends to let them hear
from me through your columns, but
I hardly know how to begin or
where to end. This is truly a live
western town, and mnch to bo ad
mired for its substantial buildings,
and the business enterprise of its
inhabitants. The leading business
portion is built of brick and stoue,
and in many places stone pavements
greet the eye of tho stranger, much
to his astonishment, when he con
siders whero he is, and what kind of
a country he passes over to get here.
I note in my rambles over this
city a very rapid and also very sub
stantial growth, showing conclu
sively that tho surrounding country
must be rich, which it no donbt is,
both in mineral and agricultural
products. Farming is carried on
more extensively than I had sup
posed, and tho prices of grain far
exceed that of your locality, aud the
quality of wheat Is much' better than
any I ever saw in any of the eastern
states.
I crossed the Platte river bridge
here to-day and it seemed so insig
nificant in comparison with that
opposite Columbus that I- measured
it as near as I could by stepping
across it, and as near as I could
judge it is less than ninety yards In
length, and the rivor carries at this
time- but little more water than Shell
creek does at Glcason's.
I have only been tho length of one
of the principal streets and I note
to-day nineteen buildings under
construction aud thirty - five that
have been finished within the last
six weeks.
"Wages aro good and very few men
idle. Carpenters' wages are from
$2.75 to $3.00 per day; laborers
from $1.75 to $2.00, yet they aro
continually changiug, going to the
mountain towns in search of more
wealth.
Tho prices of provisions aro but
very little higher hero than they are
with you, with but very few excep
tions. Rents aro exceedingly , high
in most cases, yet laborers can got
very fair board and lodging at $5.00
to $5.50 per week, and from that on
up to $15.00 and $20.00. 'More again.
Respectfully,
B. E. Rogers.
