John Harrigan's team ran off
Friday last from the slaughter house
coming up town at a lively rate, col
liding with Petersen & Robison's
wagon, thus carrying the meat con
test even among the dumb things of
creation, which certainly cannot be
allowed.
J. E. Post of the A. & N. mail
service spent a portion of last week
in the city. He speaks very highly
of the country traversed by that

looks forward with pleasure to the
time when the road shall be corn
completed to this city.
V. H. Dyer, Esq., of the Davis
Sewing Machine Co., was in the city
several days last week on business
for his company. We think from
his style and the merits of his ma
chine that he will make affairs liYely
hereabouts. Look out for an adver
tisement in a few days.
Farmers, who are thinking of
investing in a riding plow, should
examine McBride's sulky attach
ment, on exhibition at A. W. Law
rence's, before purchasing. It is a
splendid thing, can be -attached to
any plow and costs comparatively
little. Don'tfailtoseeit. . .
One of Phil. Cain's horses got
away with him the other day and
skipped out with his skeleton wa
gon, taking the forward wheels in
a solo race of considerable distance.
We believe that horses should be
broke to harness when very young.
Those who have never kept a
scrap-book don't know its value.
Sometimes you will have preserved
one article that may alone chance
to be worth two or three times the
cost of your book. Try it. You
can begin with several items in to
day's Journal.
When the Journal states that
a man will send for his wife when
he gets his bouse built, does it
necessarily mean that be has already
got the wife, any more than that he
has already built his house or is
going to build it soou? We ack
nowledge that the phraseology ad
mits of a question.
It is said that a man giviug his
name as J. J. Patterson and who has
been living at Usccola tor some
time, died recently of lung and heart
disease. One who ought to know,
seeing his picture, says that Patter
son was the veritable Frank James,
one of the notorious James brothers,
and it is proposed to have his body
exhumed.
Ed: Polly of.seward is making
a shbrt visit to Columbus. He speaks
of large improvements in Seward
consequent upon the construction
of a competing line of railway, the
L. & N. W. Hard coal that form
erly co9t $13 is now sold for $10 a
ton, and this is but ono of the nu
merous reductions in price, made
possible by cheaper freight rates.
We want it distinctly under
stood that the Journal is written
as a historical record to be read not
only by the present dwellers in the
land, but referred to by future gen
erations as a faithful record of local
events. For this reason we desire
tho co-operation of our patrons aud
friends in every neighborhood to
furnish us facts suitable for pub
lication. Geo. Lehman this morniur
opens the Grand Pacific Hotel, his
own property, lately known as the
Pruyn House. The house is now
and now oquipped throughout with
new furniture. George is very
widely and favorably known as a
landlord, is energetic, and admira
bly adapted to the business, in
which he has had considerable ex
perience. -An effort will be made by some
of our prominent Democrats to se
cure the State convention here.
There is no reason why we shouldn't
have both political conventions this
year. Columbus is readily acces
sible from every section of the
State, by rail ; is centrally located ;
has ample hotel accommodations,
good Opera House, and will do the
boys "proud." Let us have both
conventions.
Reuben Butler, Esq., formerly
of Schuyler, Neb., now ,of New
Lexington, O., gave us a call Satur
day. Having legal business in
western Iowa he concluded to drop
in upon his old friends and acquaint
ances In Colfax, Platte aud Butler
counties. He'ialooking in splen
did health. Of course he has a lar
ger law practice where he is, and is
doubtless making a great deal moro
money than he would if here, but
be evidently has not lost a fondness
acquired for the sunny days in Ne
braska, and the invigorating breezes
of western life and weather..
Just as we go to press we re
ceive tho painful intelligence of
Mate Upton's insanity and arrest.
About 9 o'clock deputy sheriff Wil
son was called to the house on tho
information that Mate was driving
the family and friends into the
Btreot. On arriving at the house
this was found to be true and as the
deputy sheriff .entered he, too, was
attacked. With tho assistance of
three or four mcu Mate was secured,
placed in a wagon and conducted to
the county jail where he now is.
Mate has had some mental difficulty
before, but never of a dangerous
character. The present trouble is
said to be tho outgrowth of relig
ious excitement. Schuyler Sun.
A paragraph in the last Genoa
Leader is well calculated to mislead
eastern folks, not posted on our
climate, who may read it. The
weather reports, as they appear in
the Journal month after month
during the year, give a better view
of our climate than an inconsiderate
paragraph written in haste. Ne
braska has no "parched and baked
half-acre," and the impression con
veyed by such a phrase is a delusion
and a snare. ' Now, Bro. Burgess, if
you will give us a chapter upon the
beauties of Nebraska climate, and
especially the rain in its season, we
will forgive you this little indiscre
tion, which, however, we could not
less pass without some little com
ment. If all counties in the older states
would do their duty as well as Rock
Island county, 111., in sending good
people to the newer lands, Nebraska
would have a rich benefit. On last
Thursday came to locate in Platte
county, J. R. Smith, H. S. Latbrop,
Thos. Wilson, friends and neighbors
in Illinois, who, with their families
are registered temporarily at the
Hammond House. They brought
with them their household goods,
three car loads, besides for Mr.
Smith seven horses, Mr. Lathrop 5
horses and Mr.TVilson a cow and 2
horses. They are intelligent gentle
men, and will, with their families,
be an acquisition in the communities
where they settle. Would that a
hundred thousand such would come
to Nebraska this season.
A Trip to Madison.
In company with a frieud, on
Wednesday morniug last, we started
out on a trip to Madison, the air was
cool and cloudy, but on reaching the
Bluffs north of Columbus, the rifts
in the clouds presented to view large
patches of blue aud sunshine, gild
ing the Loup and the Platte with a
sheen and beauty that no artist,
however skilled with brush, could
portray, or pen describe. We may
gaze with wondering awe upon the
gorgeous sunset as it spreads out its
mantle of gold and red, but there is
an indescribable hush and grandeur
that thrills the soul, as we behold the
sunrise, shimmering tho hill tops,
and chasing the mists and darkness
from the vallies, in strange contrast
with the shadows and gloom that
enshrouded the sinking Monarch of
tho Heavens of the evening before.
Such was our reverie (and much
more) from which we were aroused
by our companion, as we neared the
Shell creek crossing on a new, sub
stantial bridge at Gleason's. Pleas
ant were the echos of our horses
feet as they clattered on tho bill, as
we rise to the plateau, that reveals
with its curling smoke, tho fow
buildings that at proscnt constitute
tho mayoralty of Dick, our inimita
ble Dick Rossiter of banjo famo and
"quit your fooling dar." Dick and
his associates may see the day when
Platte Centre will expand to more
than a name. Wo now emerge to a
beautiful stretch of prairie, with
roads as hard as the sholl roads of
the east. On wo spoed with hun
dreds of acres on either side, seeded
with wheat, or plowed ready for the
husbandman's skill. Wo think the
change of name from Stearns to
Grand Prairie was an appropriate
one, no other term could so well fill
the bill ; grand ! is the exclamation
that involuntarily escapes unbidden
from the lips of every beholder;
thrift and progress are tho character
istics of every farm from tho Shell
creek valley to Tracy creek. From
this point on to Madison, tho coun
try is rough and broken, but sus
ceptible of cultivation. Suddenly
we find ourselves confronted with a
bustling little village lying nestled
on the Union creek valley. Several
substantial stores and warehouses
are in course of erection, the most
prominent, has been built and stock
ed with five car loads of all kinds of
merchandise by Gross Bros, of Co
lumbus, who intend to do business
at both places. The depot is a neat
structure, and favorably located,
about one-half mile west of the town.
We were much amused at the quiz
zical manner we wero interrogated
about the trade of Columbus, and the
sympathetic (t)oar that was extend
ed at our recital of growth and in
creased business and life; whatever
may be our future, our present is
bright with promise, and if wo lose
our prestige it will be by suicide,
and not by murder. Madison is
prettily located and has some prom
ising business men and citizens that
must look well to her surroundings
or she may need to weep for depart
ed glory. Railroads are not the
only boom that small interior towns
require. Wo saw a good stock of
lumber near the depot, and found a
gentlemanly attendant thore, but on
our return to Columbus we met some
Madison county teams, hauling out
goods and small jags of lumber. If
our notes by the way furnish your
readers as much pleasure as did our
opportunity to gather them we are
satisfied. Dot.
Our Klmlngr abetter.
Editor Journal: Our city at tho
present time bids fair for a large in
crease in buildings and population
during the year. A large building
will soon be finished (built by a
stock company) the lower room to
be used for business purposes, and
the hall above to bo fitted and fur
nished for the use of secret societies,
and will be the best finished busi
ness house in the city. Tho Metho
dists have the brick and sand on the
ground for the commencement of
their church building; it will be a
large fine structure and cost, as es
timated, not far from $3,500. Verity,
an old settler of Summit precinct, is
building a very nice house in town.
Nearly all shipments from here
now is corn ; and this part of the
"Nebraska desert" has plenty of that
and still many are busy husking
preparatory to spring seeding.
Our wagon maker has just finished
a handsome 'bus for parties in Osce
ola, Polk Co., which will be an
ornamental addition to the vehicles
that traverse the streets of Polk
county's favorite city.
We have still room here for good
settlers, the best of land at fair
prices, a good market for all prod
ucts raJised; aud immigrants would
do well to give western Butler a
good look-over, as we are satisfied
it would pay them well. There is
also plenty of room and splendid
prospects for other branches of busi
in our city. Why Not ?

Ed. Journal: The Genoa Lead
er is mistaken. Commissioner Wise
did not loose his pants and Watts
need not got alarmed about it. If
the Commissioner lived in Genoa
where the full dress of the natives
consists of a string around the fin
ger, if would not have made so much
difference if he had lost his pants.

Near Keatskatoo3 P. O. Saturday,
Feb. 7. Inquire of John Hammer,
of Monroe orecinct: address Genoa
IP. O.
lr. J. S. Christison.
The Journal is under tho pain
ful necessity of recording a bad
deed of one -who ought to have
known better. Dr. J. S. Christison,
formerly of this place, later of Al
bion and Genoa, haying a team of
horses, and, we believe, a buggy,
which were mortgaged for the pur
chase money, went off in company
with one Robert Crozier, and has
not been arrested. Constable H. P.
Baker pursued the fugitives to a
point near Grand Island, where the
trail was lost. It is supposed that
the pair have gone into southern
Nebraska, sold the buggy, aud are
endeavoring to make their escape
on horseback. The parties in inter
est are determined to catch Christi
son and enforce on him the full
penalty of the law in such cases, in
cluding imprisonment iu the peni
tentiary. It wasat one time report
ed here that he had been shot by an
officer while attempting to arrest
him, but this seems without founda
tion. We get these facts mainly
from the Genoa Leader.

Very high winds occurred on the
nights of the 10th, 16th, 26th and
27th, the last accompanied by snow
and low range of temperature, being
on the whole a moderate "blizzard."
The Reporter desires to call atten
tion to tho following facts from the
report of the chief signal officer for
the month of January, 1880, (just
received) in support ot his previous
ly expressed opinion as to the de
sirability of the Loupe valley as a
residence on account of its freedom
from violent storms, etc. It appears
from this report that of 18 trans
continental storms during that
month the centers of 5 passed south
of the Platte, 7 passed through Pem
bina and Manitoba and 13 passed
north of Nebraska.
Although many have been dis
posed to consider our winter a very
dry one, yet from tho same report
it appears that moro moisture was
deposited in our valley during Jan
uary, than at any other point of ob
servation of the Missouri.
