Mike Uptou, who was thrown
from his horse at Platte Center
Thursday week, has suffered con
siderably, aud for awhile, through
coucussion of the braiu it is sup
posed, loat the use of his right arm.
lie is now pretty nearly all riht.
Don't forget that Henry Luers
is now running the black-smith and
wagon shop at the Foundry, south
of the A. & N. Depot, where he may
be found by all his old customers,
doing as good work as ever. Look
out for his advertisement next

The celebrated horse St. Julien,
who astonished the world by trot
ting a mile in 2:12j at the Grant
reception In San Francisco, Oct. 79,
passed down the road last week in
charge of O. A. Hlckok, one of his
owners, on his way to Chicago to
take part iu the June races.
A couple of young men from
Butler county got into trouble the
other day in Columbus, and fell into
the hands of the officers. Refusing
to pay their fine, they were brought
out Saturday ou the streets, attached
to ball and chain. This was the first
exhibition of the kind in Columbus.
The Omoha Bee claims that full
returns have been received from all
tho counties of the State except
Platte which tho Bee concedes to
Blaine there will be 2G3 delegates
classed as anti-Grant. Of theso 223
are pronounced Blaine men and 40
for Washburn, Edmunds and Sher
man. Mr. J. P. Maple, of Richland
precinct, picked up a few days since,
along the banks of the Platte river,
a nugget of gold which E. L. Davis
found to weigh 1 penny-woight and
2 grains. Probably this lump has
been dropped by the overland gold
hunters in the early days. Schuy
ler Sun.
The North Bend Independent
makes inquiry of us as to how Co
lumbus is fixed on saloons for the
benefit of delegates to the conven
tion, wo presume. For his edifica
tion we may say that a man can be
as temperate here as anywhere, and
he can, likewiso, find as many differ
ent kinds of drinks as would satisfy
tho ordinary toper.
The entertainment given Mon
day eveuing by Oakes Bros, was the
best of the kind evor given in Co
lumbus. The stago was furnished
as a parlor, by tho troupe, and all
conducted thomselveB as polished
members of good society. The spe
cial comicalities of Mr. Hodgdou
were original, and very enjoyable
in fact the entortainment throughout
was instructive, entertaining, or
highly amusing.
A general complaint comes from
citizens on tho mail-route between
Columbus and Grand Prairie post
office, that they fail to receive their
mail matter with any regularity. So
far as the Journal office is concern
ed we speuk Irora personal knowl
edge, that few chances exist for
making mistakes, as every sub
scriber's name is printed on his
paper aud every package is directed
in the same way.
Chas. Schroeder returned
Thursday from a business visit to
St. Joseph. He wob very much
pleased with the appearance of the
place, and speaks enthusiastically of
its fine business blocks, and spleudid
private residences. Citizens say
that trade has not been so lively for
a great many years as it has beeu
this season. Mr. Schroeder is doing
foundry work for a firm there
which sends its goods Into every
nook of the United States.
We like to see a local newspaper
occasionally that takes a lively In
terest in the material welfare of its
section, and advocates enterprises
that are practicable and within
reach. The public-spirited citizen
is continually encouraging others
not only by his example in engag
ing in a paying business, but by
good words to others about to em
bark. Small business jealousies
never did and never will build up a
town. Ve notice several of our
Nebraska exchanges that are work
ing this lead, and are living to some
good purpose in their communities.
Anderson was around last week
trying to get subscribers to a street
sprinkling fund. He didn't succeed
to any great extent. It would seem
as though some plan might be hit
npon that would prove beneficial.
One gentleman suggests elevated
tanks filled by windmills. It would
not be out of place to see what, say
a dozen mills and tanks would cost,
with pipe sufficient to conduct the
water where needed, not only for
sprinkling the streets bntalso in case
of fire. If the city is not prepared
for this, firms in the business por
tions of the city might club together
and put up water-works of a very
effective kiud.
Hon. Guy C Barnum has had
fifty tame ducks killed for him this
spring by hunters. If this continues
he will be compelled to prohibit
hunters from coming upon his place
altogether. , Those who know him
are well aware that he is not inclin
ed to be repressive, but it happens
frequently that forbearance ceases to
be a virtue, and those who forbear
the longest are the toughest to deal
with when roused. To j:ap the
climax, some fellow, in shooting at
a tame duck, probably, killed a hog
in Mr. Barnnm's corral about a week
ago. He would much prefer to
butcher bis own bogs, and is just
about making up his mind to make
diligent search for and deal roughly
with those who disturb the domestic
animals on his premises.

Of course readers of tho Jour
nal have not failed to see the ad
vertisement of Dr. Connaughton,
which has appeared tho last two
weeks. Tho Dr. 1b making a tour of
the State, and this is what is said of
him by tho Republican at Omaha,
where he filled an ongagemeut re
cently :
"During his stay in Omaha he has
had an immense practice, which has
been daily increasiug, so that now
his office is crowded from morning
until lato at night by people anxious
to avail themselves of his successful
treatment. Some of the very best
people of Omaha and vicinity can
testify to his ability and success as a
physiciau in their own cases aud
they will loug remember his visit to
Omaha, as he has doue them a vaBt
amount of good. Persons that have
suffered from disease for years have
either been permanently cured by
him or greatly relieved. He could
stay hero six months longer, and the
rush of patients would bo as great
every day of that period, as they
have been for the past two weeks."
Albert Rose, Esq., was in the
city Friday to ship his wool cast.
He had 55 fiooceB, weighing some
thing over 6 pounds apiece. It is a
pity but Platte county had a home
market for her wool. The commis
sion business gives every needod
opportunity for tho commission of
fraud on tho consignor, and we are
assured that, so far as wool is con
cerned, the opportunity has not been
allowed to pass by the commission
merchants without being duly culti
vated for all there was iu it. The
wool growers of Nebraska would do
well to lay thoir heads together, and
work up the home manufacture of
our product, which would help them
in a thousand ways, and be much
more satisfactory thau at present.
Farmer I-ook Hero !
Wet or dry, you can raise the
pure White Douraor Egyptian Rice
Corn. I raised from twenty to
sixty bushels per acre in the drouth
of 1879. It is bettor feed for horses
and hogs than corn, and Is a much
surer crop. See analyses, State re
port for December, 1879. It need
not be planted before July 1st, and
will fully mature in eighty or ninety
days. I will send a trial package
for fifty cents, or enough to' plant
one acre for $1, by mail, postage paid
with full instructions. Address,

For the dear ones of thy band,

Gone from suffering to the Happy Land.

Keeps thy darlings safe from pain;
He will listen to thy sad heart's moan,
He will give thee peaoe again.

P. Walter Connaughton, M. D. Sir:
Gratitude prompts me to write you &
few lines, informing you of my wlfe'n
great improvement under your treat

can do a good day's work. She is better
than she has been for 20 years. I have
paid out a good deal of money to quack
doctors, and nostrums of the day, to no
benefit; and she has never received any
benefit until she commenced your treat
ment, and if any person doubt It let
them call at my residence or write, and
I will prove my assertion. I saw ono
of my neighbors last night; sho is in the
first stage.-, of consumption. I am going
to take my wife and see them, and try
to prevail on them to go and sec you.
Yours with much respect,"
