The Lincoln Journal says that
delegates to the State convention at
this place should take their beds and

score. Columbus proposes to pro
vide good victuals and good beds

haven't always had at Lincoln.

ture begins promptly at eight o'clock

Monitress Lodge No. Knights
and Ladies of Honor, was instituted

John Wiggins ; V. Prot. Mrs. II. P.
Coolidge; P. Prot., G. W. Clother;
Fin. and R. Sec'y, A. A. Smith;
Treas., Mrs. John Wiggins; Chap
lain, 'Mrs. Emma Wake ; Guide,Mrs.
Jennio Small ; Guard., Mrs. Lizzie
Shannon ; Sentinel, A. M. Jennings.
It is a good order, and this lodge
starts out under favorable auspices.
Quite a number of the boys have
changed their "roosting" places of
late. John Jeukinson now drives
"Jim" Brindley's express, aud War
ren Kellogg takes his place on Phil.
Cain's wagon ; George Jenkinson
goes to North's ranche on the Dis
mal, and Charley Iluber occupies
his place behind the little sorrels;
Fred. Matthews has donned all his
good clothes and is walking the
streets with a gold-headed cane, and
"Dutch Frank" predominates over

Tattersall.
Hon. Loander Gerrard, as proxy
for A. M. Post, Esq., State Central
Committeeman for tho 14th district,
attended -tho meeting of the com
mittee at Lincoln last Wednesday,
and evidently did good work for
this locality in securing for Colum
bus the State convention, to be held
on the 19th of May, for which he is
entitled to the thanks of our citi
zens. An effort made to have the
State ticket nominated at tho same
time failed of accomplishment, as it
ought to have done for several very
strong and sufficient reasons.
Mr. John George showed us a
paper the other day published at
Cadiz, O., 40 years ago, by W. It.
Allison. It contained a cut of the
Log Cabin erected in that town dur
ing the memorable political cam
paign of "Tippecanoe and Tyler,
too," and by reference to the names
brought to mind a host of the active
business men of that day, who have
since passed to their final rest. Danl.

- Tho following brief note ex
plains itself sufficiently to pass mus
ter, and congratulations are in order:
Rawlins, April 4, 1880.
Editor Journal, Sir : Born to the
wife of John Oraelia, at Rawlins,
April 2d, twinBj bo'th eight pounds
and boys ; mother and babies doing
well. T. P. Fitzpatrick.
Some people abuse the U. P.
railroad company for being such a
powerful corporation controling
every interest within its reach, but
just about this time we cannot sec
things in that light; when it can't
or won't control enough coal to run
good fires in a city like Columbus,
there is very little gained by talking
about its great power aud influence.

The Omaha Bee shows a com
mendable spirit of enterprise by ad
ding to its already newsy columns
increased telegraphic news, which
will include full reports of the Na
tional Associated Press and all the
telegraphic news aud market reports
of the Western Associated Press.
The Bee's local news in tho morn
ing edition will be complete up to
the hour of 6 a. m.
A gentleman tells us that at the
meeting in the M. E. Church last
Sunday evening there wn9 not a
breath of ventilation, in a room
comparatively small, and containing
about one hundred persons. There
is no question of doubt but that
there is altogether too little atten
tion paid to ventilation of public as
well as private buildings. Tho trnth
is that pure air is more essential to
health than good food.
Mrs. John Strasser, on Saturday
last, received $2,000 from the Grand
Lodge Knights of nonor. During
his life, Mr. Strasser, wo beliove,
paid about $25 in assessments for
this benefit. The life insurance
plans now in vogue with near
ly all secret benevolent orders seem
to be excellent auxiliaries to their
general work thus carrying bene
fits beyond the graves of their mem
bers, to their families and friends.
The first number of tho Platts
moutb Courant, published by
Wentworth & Crites, former pro
prietors of the Democrat of this
city, was received at this office last
Saturday. As already indicated,
we tako pleasure in an oxchange,
especially on account of those terse
aud inststructive articles to the
youthful politician of the present
day, prepared by tho senior, in ex
position of democratic principles
away back in the days of Hamilton,
Jefferson, &c.
James W. Dickerson and Elijah
P. Draper had a suit the other day
before Byron Millett, Esq., the first,
by tho way, that Byron has heard
since his illness. The suit was
brought by Dickerson to recover for
violation of a contract mailo to
thresh the grain of Mr. Draper. On
the day agreed upon he was on
hnnds, on time, aud proffered to do
the work, but some one else had
been engaged and was at work.
Judgment in favor of Dickerson,
$15.65 damages.
The government wituessos in
the case of the U. S. Government
against Wm. Burgess, late U. S.
Ag't for the Pawnees, have been
notified not to appear at the trial set
at Topeka, Kans. The suit, we un
derstand, will bo formally with
drawn, there being not even ajwima
facie case against Mr. Burgess. The
Major has been pestered a good deal
by this performance, and we sup
pose it has beeu a source of very
considerable expense to him. We
are pleased to know that it is ended
at last.
We have never been favorable
to eucouraglng anything like class
distinctions, such as native and for
eign, old-settler and new-settler, &c.
We believe that political and .civil
rights are equal, and that one man
is just as good as another when he
behaves as well. This paragraph is
suggested bya note received signed
"Old Settler." The gentleman re
ferred to by him was not responsi
ble for the name given the district,
(blame that on the editor of the
Journal), if any one should bo
censured.
We clip these two items from
the Valparaiso Avalanche :
Jonathan Grant paid $150 for
one year's subscription to our paper
on Tuesday.
Isn't the Columbus Journal dis
posed to be a little avaricious for
wanting the republican as well as
the democratic state convention at
the above place?
The $150 is evidently an erre , and
so is it that we are avariciot for
wanting both conventions. We ad
vocated for both of them. The
Democratic was held hero, and the
other will be. The former were
very well nleased with their enter
tainment, and so will the latter be. '
City Council.
This body as ncwly.con6tituted,
met last Monday evening. Mayor
Becker delivered a very sensible
message which we givo in full :
Gentlemen of the Council:
1 have la ncd from tie
Clerk's books that the general fond
levy lor 1879 is exhausted, and that
bills amouutiug to from three to five
hundred dollars are dne in excess of
said levy, and would recommend
that if possible you devise some
plan to supply the necessary means
to enable us to meet our current ex
pences on a cash baBi9, and take the
liberty to call your attention to the
fact that on 10th and 11th streets tho
tract of land formerly known as
Columbia Square recedes from the
lino of those streets twenty feet, and
perhaps the property owners at those
points would bo willing to pay n
fair consideration for the twenty
feet necessary to bring them into
lino with the streets, and would
recommend that steps be taken to
negotiate such transfers if you deem
it advisable.
Tho protection afforded by our
city against fire, in my judgment is
entirely insufficient; outside of the
range of wells now provided the
only protection we have is what the
Hook & Ladder apparatus affords,
which is very good, but by no means
sufficient, and I would recommend
that you investigate the chemical or
Babcock principle of protection
against fire, believing that to be
more economical than to supply the
whole city with cisterns or welli.
I would also suggest that the
proper officers of the IT. P. R. R.
and the L. & N. W. R. R. Co's. bo
solicited by you to arrange their
water tanks (al the expense of the
city if demanded,) so that water can
be supplied for our engino, in caso
of fire in their localities.
I would also call your attention to
the fact that for many years there
have been deep aud dangerous holes
at points where the TJ. P. R. R. main
track crosses Washington Avenue
and L street, both being important
crossings in our city over said R. R.,
and that you request the proper
officers of the R. R. Co. to fill up
those holes and arrange the cross
ings so that at least two teams can
cross at the same time ; and to fill up
the ditches the full width of the
streets.
I could refer you to many other
matters requiring your attention,
but until our treasury is replenished
will not urge them farther than de
mand requires, and I hope you will
not incur any expense for ornaments
until absolute wants of the city aro
supplied.
Very respectfully submitted for
your consideration.
J. P. Becker, Mayor.
