School district No. 3 is some
what famous for novelties, the latest
of which Is that if a young man
holds enmity agaiiiBt another, he
should not, therefore, refuse to
swing hia enemy's pnrtner in the
dance. This may be considered as
definitely settled In that district, and
we commend it as good law for
universal application.
The City Meat Market, kept on
Nebraska Avenue by Will T. Rickly,
has been thoroughly overhauled,
and is a credit to the city. John
George says that the ice-box (which
is a large one) is as good as any

periment, a piece of beef was kept
fresh and sweet for two weeks, dur
ing our recent warm spell.
A report has been in circulation
here several days that Chas. A.
SteveuEon, a well-known printer

Judge Geer has been in Pierce

Pierce look the best ho has seen
them this year. The Elkhorn Val
ley R. R. Co. are grading north of

Mrs. Seeley aud Col. Brown have
donated grounds for depot.
The IT. P. and B. & M. trains,
which start from Omaha about the
samo time, arrived here the other
day pretty nearly together. We are
informed that the TJ. P. train whist
led and stopped, bat being heavier
than the B. & M., couldn't start up
so quick aa they, and so the B. fc M.
made the crossing ahead of the U.
P., amid the oaths and yells of the
latter boyi, who, it seems, were en
titled to the track.
R. H. Henry & Bro. came in
from the western part of the State
Sunday morning, Intending to go
back again this week. B, H. says
that cattle that didn't wander during
the winter are now in good condi
tion. Owing to the very dry weath
er, there is no grass on the Platte
beyond Plum Creek, but in the
canyons along the Loup pasture is
good, and the stock look well. The
South Platte is dry, being absorbed
la Colorado for Irrigation.
The Rod Front Drug Store has
the lead in wall papers, trimmed
tree, aud window shades aud rollers
of every kind : best assortment in

II. T. Spoerry was in town yes
terday and had considerable com
plaint to make against the Co. Com
missioners in reference to their ac
tion in regard to the finances of
Dist. 21, and thinks when the County
Commissioners bave any business
to transact with other officials it
should be done through the County
Clerk. . H. T. Spokrrv.
The collections in the County
Treasurer's office during May, have
been unprecedented, amounting a
few days ago to $37,000, and reck
oned by Mr. Early to foot for the
month something like $40,000. $16,
000 of this is from the B. & M. R. R.
Co., for back taxes, and $9,000 of It
from the V. P. as current taxes due.
This is not a bad showing for a
single month.
The marriage of Miss Bertha
Loeb, daughter of Moses Loeb, Esq.,
of this city, and Mr. Carl Kramer of
Columbus, Neb., formerly of the
firm of Kramer Bros., this city,
occurred yesterday afternoon at the
residence of the bride's parents, No.
455, Fulton street. The Rev. Dr.
Felsenthal performed tho ceremony
in the presence of a small company
of intimate friends aod relatives.
The bride and groom left for a short
trip through tho eastern cities, after
which they will take up their resi
dence in Columbus, Neb. Chicago
Tribune, May 2,7th.
One of our dealers made $40
pretty smoothly the other day. A
farmer came in with a thousand
pounds of wool. Buyer No. 1 was
on hands, and made his offer, which
was accepted. Buyer No. 2 stepped
up before the wool was weighed,
and offered 25 cts. a pound, and tho
wool was weighed over to him and
paid for. Buyer No. 1 passod $210
over to the farmer, and kept $40 for
his own work iu weighing, figuring,
&c. Little regard or care has he for
the injunction, "Iu tho sweat of thy
face shalt thou earn thy bread."
Some other man's sweat will answer
his purpose just as well.
Wo are in receipt of a pro
gramme of Baruum's great Museum,
Mcnagerio and Circus, which is o
be here. We can only mention that
from the grand entree to the finale,
when Lazel is fired from the month
of a cannon to tho topmost height
of the pavilion, it Is exceedingly in
teresting. The native Lulus and
Queen Mab, the Indiana Midget, the
acrobats, the bareback riders, the
ground and lofty tumblers, with
one who turn? a double somersault
over tho backs of seven elephant,
the leaping horse, the performing
oxen &c, are some of the novelties
under the pavilion that will ac
commodate 11,000.
Alf. Burnett and his Novelty
Company appeared before a good
audience in this city Monday even
ing, and judging from the effects
produced by his eloquent and al
most perfect delineation of charac
ter, his hearers were highly pleased
with the evening's entertainment.
Burnett, with all his humor, found
his match in Mips Helen Nash in
the domestic trouble between Mr.
and Mrs. Candle, and while it las
ted, It was difficult to tell which
"diamond" cut the most. James
W. Sharpley, the blind minstrel,
performed his part spleudldly, and
brought out more and better music
ont of his accordeon than we ever
thought was in that instrument.
A little house at the east end of
11th street, near the Cemetery was
broken into Saturday night. The
owner was not at home at the timo.
It is supposed that certain parties
who knew he had received money,
and thought he kept it in his trunk,
did the deed. At least the trunk
and other supposed hiding places
were ransacked thoroughly, but
nothing taken, so far as known. If
this is the kind of business that is
next to be played here, the sooner
Columbus citizens generally prepare
themselves with good fire-arras and
use them on burglars the better. He
who undertakes this business under
takes to kill bis victim if necessary
to save hie owu life, and so is en
titled to no milk aud water treat
ment. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Iowa, favored our citizens
with three very able temperance
lectures Saturday and Sunday last,
to quite large and appreciative au
diences. In the first &bo very clearly
showed that, placing the question on
a merely financial basis, the liquor
traffic does not pay the community
or state. In the second she told
church members the proper position
they shonld take in this great moral
reform. In the third, she ably
argued that the state should prohibit
the sale of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage. She did not argue this
from a religious standpoint, but on
a lower plane, as a mere police reg
ulation it is best to so prohibit.
Her lectures abounded in convinc
ing logic, chaste language, plain
illustrations and were characterized
by such a spirit as would draw
rather than repel. She aimed to
convince and persuade, without the
least indication of a desire to offend.
Her lectures will long be remem
bered by those who were fortunate
i enough to hear them,
Rarnum uiul IHn Great Shoir.
Everybody seems to bo on the
lookout for Bttruum, and when the
great show comes it will be crowded.
The BoMon 1'ost says :
The crowds in attendance at the
performances of Baruum's Circus
are somethiug tremendous, even in
the annals of circuadom. The large
tent ia well filled iu the afternoon,
and at the evening performance
every seat is ocenpied ; extra chairs
are placed in the aiena, and scores
of men nnd boys camp on the saw
dust. There were nearly tweho
thousand people present Inst even
ing, nnd half an hour before the
performance the ticket wagon was
closed on account of inability to
accommodate the hundreds who
wero still begging for admission. It
is etui mated that nearly as mauy
people were turned away as were
admitted. The audience was made
up of a fino class of people, and the
performance was greeted with the
enthusiastic applause that its un
questioned excellence merited.
From the grand entree to the final
act of Zazel, everything is of the
highest degree of excellence iu its
particular lino, and never fails to
give uubouuded satisfaction. The
tour de force of the performance is
the thrilling act of Zazel, whose
aerial dive is second in its skill and
sensational effect only to her moro
wonderful act in boiug shot from
a cannon.
Baruum's greatest show on earth
will visit Columbus positively on
Saturday afternoon only, July 31st.

Dear Journal: It is to bo ro
gretted that your "Reader" did not
express his opinions of Nebraska
weather and the Journal's conceal
ment of the state of affairs several
weeks earlier that you might have
uttered your truthful prophecy in
time to help the early gardons and
strawberries and" 'forward tho small"
grains ; if he has been a "Constant
Reader" of the general news of the
country and in fact of the world he
must know that the drouth is by no
means confined to this state, and
while some are suffering from wind
and water, others are groaning for
the want of it, certain it is that no
other soil can stand so much dry
weather as this.
Tho early part of tho season was
dry, but for threo weeks past we
have had local weekly showers that
have beeu very welcome, but the
general heavy rains of Saturday did
great good, giving promise if all is
well of good harvests aud plenty of
hay. There are many hundred
acres in this precinct planted to corn
and it never looked finer at this
season, many of tho farmers are
already using the corn plow, there
seems to be a tplrit of quiet cheer
fulness among the people which is a
proof of their faith in tho future.
Mr. Kerr who has been with Mr.
S. Wheeler some mouths past, met
with a singular and painful accident
last week, ho was moving a harrow
from a wagon, it slipped from its
position, he lost his hold upon it and
fell backwards, falling upon tho
teeth and driving one or moro into
his body, at first it was feared that
one had penetrated the lungs, but
this proved not to be tiie case, he is
doing well aud if inflammation does
not set in will probably recover.
The Methodists will hold their
quarterly meeting in the Presbyte
rian church of this place on June
5th and 6th.
W. N. McCandlish has moved Into

DEATHS.
CAIN Wednesday, May 2t;th, at 3
A. m., Mary A., wife of Philip Cain, of
this city, aged 'J3 years.
Tho deceased was first attacked with
pleurisy, about a week before her death,
and thou with erysipelas; the best of
medical aid was provided, aud all that
her fond husband and friends could pos
sibly do was done, but death came and
relieved hor from pain.
Those who had the pleasure of hor
acquaintance, speak iu the highest terms
of her as a christian lady, and our com
munity has certainly sustained a hoavy
loss iu her death.
Her remains, followed by a very large
concourse of orrowing frieuds and ac
quaintances, wore placed, temporarily,
in the Columbus cemetery.
