Those who have used both
whole and ground feed for stock in

much for grinding. It takes much
less ground feed to supply an ani
mal's wauts, there is no waste and
the manure is much better.
S. O. Raymond visited Kansas
City and Atchison last week. He
says that below Ulysses the crops
looked in excellent condition. In

of business.

After a series of wild wind and
rain storms a preacher felt Ir duty
bound to raise a petition invoking
the Divine power not to send any
more devastating winds and rain
jtorrents, but to let the waters come
gently, drizzle-drozzle, drizzle-droz-:le,
that they might penetrate into
be soil and do good to the crops.
S appropriate at any time, such a
payer would not have been ont of
1 dace Saturday afternoon.
The Ariou Quartette Club assist
ed by the Macnnerchor will give a

The fourth of July this year is
on Sunday. It h understood gen
erally that the celebration will be
made on the third. By the way,
what is Columbus to have in the
shape of a recognition of the day?
Is Columbus to rest satisfied with
beiug the centre of the State politi
cal movements this year?
Mrs. Mary Belisle intended to
make an explanatory statement in
regard to the doings of certain po
licemen, but she prefers to wait un
til after the meeting of the City
Council, who have the whole matter
under advisement. She claims that
gross and outrageous misrepresen
tations have been made concerning
her.
Monday we saw two little chil
dren alone in a wagon standing on
the street. To be sure the horse
attached to the vehicle looked like a
gentle animal, but being untied he
might have been frightened and run
off withMho two unprotected little
fellows, &c, &c. There are a great
many things that might happen, but
men should hold themselves to
account for accidents, tho result of
unreasonable or criminal careless
ness. Wo are informed that of late
several instances have occurred of
iusults, more or less flagrant, to
ladies of tho city. This is merely
one of the results attendant upon the
introduction of bawdy houses. The
ladies who havo been insulted aro
now prepared to defend themselyes
which they will certainly do upon
the very next provocation. It is
uothing but justice to Columbus to
say that thope engaged in this busi
ness were strangers.
We believe it would pay farm
ers to hold their wool till fall. It
always gets low about shearing
time. There is really no good mar
ket anywhere in tho west, and com
mission merchants in the east, as a
rule, will not receive wool for sale
without reserving tho right to sell,
according to their own judgment.
This, when it is considered that
their commission is so much per
pound and is not. increased on a
higher price, is, jMvwm facie, evi
dence of an intention to defraud, if
a favorable opportunity offers.
The Sioux City & Nebraska
R. R. Co. have failed to got bonds
in Cedar county, aud will not build
beyond Ponca this year. They are
widening the track, making it the
standard gauge to Ponca. They
expect to be iu running order by
the first of July. It is a fixed fact
that they will not build in this di
rection this year. Thoy aro pushing
to completion tho line from Sioux
City to Omaha. They aro also sur
veying towards Norfolk, and it
looks as though they contemplated
a far-western route into Colorado.
David Anderson returned on
Sunday from Chicago. While there
he attended the great Grant and
Blaine mass meetings held on Mon
day evening, where assembled over
20,000 people to listen to the grand
eat orators of the country, Conkling,
General Logan, Fred. Douglass and
others. He also was present at the
Veterans' convention, held in Ha
verly's theatre building, whore Gen.
Woodford of New York presided,
and where General Phil. Sheridan
seemed to be the idol of the occas
ion. Mr. A. obtained a complimen
tary ticket from Major Furay to
admit him to this convention. He
also visited tho Woman's Rights
convention, held in Farwell Hall,
presided over by Susan B. Anthony.
He listened to some very fine ora
tions delivered by PhebeM. Cousins
and Mrs. Spencer; he also took in
Barnum's great show and McVick
ers' theatre. He was present in the
National Convention, at its opening
on Tuesday and beheld the grandest
sight ever witnessed in America.
Having been present at tho first
national republican convention held
in tho city of Philadelphia in 185G,
and at the national convention that
nominated Fillmore and Donaldson
in tho same city, yet those gatherings
are as pigmies compared with the
preseut assembly now meeting in
Chicago. Over 10,000 people all
seated comfortably within the walls
of the handsomest and best arranged
public building ever occupied by
any assembly in this country, where
were assembled scores of the roost
brilliant orators and finest states
men of the nation, and on the out
side of the building were 10,000
anxious and excited persons who
could not gain admittance at all.
He was in the all-night session of
Friday and Saturday, when Emery
Storrs, who defended the Illinois
regulars, and set the house ablaze,
by his eloquent allusions to the
grand old hero, which burst of ap
plause lasted continuously 27 min
utes by the watch. Mr. A. could
write a volume of the exciting and
interesting scenes witnessed there
during his stay of five days, his po
sition was close to the speaker's
stand, where could be observed all
the notables, and where could be
distinctly heard every word uttered
by the chair and membera of the
convention. He was well pleased
with the personal appearance of
young Prince Leopold, as he entered
the convention accompanied by the
venerable Marshall Jewell. The
Grant wing he represents as contain
ing the brain8,and parliamentary ex
perience of the convention, but
thinks at this writing they lack the
votes to nominate.
The Storm.
Saturday last at about half past
two p. m., this region of couulry
was visited by a storm of rain, ac
companied by very fierce wiuds.
Not, indeed, like the cyclones that
have visited some other portions of
the country this season, but a very
vigorous exhibition of the strength
and push there is in moving air.
The wind was from the prevailing
direction, northwest, and blew with
great violence for several hours.
We hear of no human lives lost, and
very few animals. Below, we give
some
IKCIDF.XT3 OF THE STORM.
The windmill at the U. P. depot
was blown down, and is a wreck.
Four men are now engaged, night
and day, pumping water into the
tank. It is supposed that the com
pany will go to work now and put
up a first-class mill and tank. The
tower of the old mill, the mast,
rather, we are informed, was con
demned six months ago.
A portion of tho roof over Mar
shall Smith's brick building, occu
pied below by Friodhoff & Co., and
above by the Knights of Honor, was
torn off, leaving only a strip on the
south side. We are told that this
was caused by defective carpenter
work on the cornice. The loss is
estimated at $150.
G.W.Phillips had two lights broke
out of the front of his store.
Wm. Shilz's sign got away, and
was finally sawed off.
Chas. Schroeder's wind mill went
down.
D. A. Lord's wind mill was torn
from tho tower, and scattered over
the prairie.
Boards from the lumber yards
flew promiscuously.
Telegraph communication east
was stopped between this point and
Schuylor.
Large two-story brick buildings
trembled under the strong pressure
of the storm, which was at times so
groat that it was difficult for a man
to stand up. Turning round a cor
ner to windward was no small
matter.
Numerous chimneys blown down.
A small tent in the bottom occu
pied by a family, sojourning, was
blown over.
Numerous trees, mostly worm-
eateu cottonwood, were broken off
at tho weak points.
Jacob Ernst, jr., narrowly escaped
probable death from falling timber
at liiB father's house. One hundred
and forty-five trees wero broken off
in Mr. Ernst's groves, and three or
four panels of picket fence was
blown down.
Thos. Flynn's corral was so de
moralized that his cattle got out, and
had to be watched all night and
hunted for the next day.
Hoidelbergcr's awning was caught
amidship, veered to ono side, and
hammered at the windows until
several of them broke.
The rain dashed in wherever there
was an opening toward the north
or northwest.
Weather Report.
Review of the weather at Genoa,
for the month of May, 1880 :
Mean temperature of mo., deg's. . .65.56
Mean do of same mo. last vear 61.02
Highest do on the 2tth deg's 90
Lowest do on the 1st deg's 40
Ordinarily clear days 15
"Very cloudy days 9
High winds days 10
Calm days 5
Rain or snow fell days 5
Inches of rainfall 0.83
Prevailing winds from S. and S.W.
Slight hail on the 23d, from t to
1 in. in diameter.
Solar halos on the 5th and 9th.
The month has been remarkable
for tho almost constant prevalence
of southerly winds. On 22 out of
31 days the wind blew from that
direction, and at times with great
force; add to this the fact that the
rainfall ia nearly 2 in. less than the
minimum, and 5 in. below the max
imum of the same mouth for the
past 4 years, and we need not be
surprised that vegetation has suffer
ed for tho waut of sufficient moist
ure, when wo consider that the
winds, heated to a high tempera
ture, havo passed over a long stretch
of country from Texas north, in all
of which tho rainfall has boen so
very light as to be considered next
to nothing, so that when they reach
ed this section they absorbed the
moisture with the avidity of a hot
iron.

Recently while David Mackie

Robert Curren, the auger struck a
brush heap or something of the
kind at the distance of 55 feet below
the Burface. Fragments of limbs

Breeders of stock in Platto county
will be interested to kuow that A.
Heinrich & Sous of the Springdale
Stock Farm on Shell creek, in this
county, are starting in an enterprise
that we belicyc is the first of the
kind for Platte county, viz., the
breediug of thoroughbred short
horn cattle. As already noted in
the Jodrxal, they recently pur
chased seven head of thoroughbreds,
which with one already on hands,
Baron Oxford, gives thom an ex
cellent beginning for their com
mendable enterprise. On Thursday
last, in company with our neighbor
farmer, J. H. Reed, we visited the
Springdale farm, to see this acces
sion to the good herds of Platte
county. The list comprises two
three years old, Angelina 2d and
Golden Maid: one two years old,
Lady Gertrude ; three yearlings,
Lady Catherine, Topsy and Queon
Esther. By the side of Angelina is
Sir Lawrence, ono month old. They
aro all certainly very fine looking
animals, and the Messrs. Heinrich
deserve commendation for their en
terprise in starting an industry that
is destined to make or help to make
a grand revolution in stock-raising
in old Platto. No one any longer
disputes tho propriety of purchasing
thoroughbred males for use among
common herds and flocks, knowing
that it costs no more to raise good
stock than poor, and that the prices
obtainable are always much better,
and sales always sure. Lot two men
take a hundred cows each, and one
use a thoroughbred bull, the other a
scrub, and the difference in the out
come in three years will bo very
considerable, so much so, indeed,
that the latter will be ashamed of
himself. Common calves arc worth
throe to six dollars, half-bloods from
fifteon to twenty-five.
But thoroughbreds are a still bet
ter property. Being "completely"
bred, or bred from tho best blood
through a long term of years, cer
tain general characteristics aro fixed
and transmitted to the progeny, and
it is this stability and "fixed pur
pose" that give the thoroughbreds
their superlative advantage over
"scrubs," and their high superiority
ovor grades, so that it is not an un
common thing that a thoroughbred
cow should be sold for tona of thou
sands of dollars.
Having his stock for Rale we did
not consider it pertinent to ask Mr.
Heinrich the cost of them, but he
told us that he was asked $400, $500
and $750 each for cows no bettor
than these of hia.
Temperance.

By Order Com.
McCormick of the Oakdalo Pen
and Plow, in a lengthy article on
some questions raised in the Jour
nal, says :
Mr. Hullhorst objects strongly to
the sacerdotal robes at the altar.
That is too lame a step for a Protest
ant of his ability. Christ never
protested against the robes of the
Jewish Rabbins at the altar. At tho
altar a priest should wear hia robes
to invest his person and office with
all possible solemnity and impreaa
iveness. Among hia people a min
ister distributing words of cheer or
reproof or warning he ia an Evange
list, and he can wear the garb of a
worker. While on earth Christ did
the most of bis work as an Evange

Shall It Re ?
Mr. Editor: Shall Columbua
celebrate our National Birthday? or
shall it be left to other localities to
do the honors ? With our brighten
ed prospects by recent showers, we
have reason to rejoice and be glad,
and let us have a grand old-faBhion-ed
Barbecue on the 5th day of July.
There aro a great many of our old
patrons who would visit their old
stamping ground, and with the L.&
N. W. R. R. completed to our city,
both old and young would have an
opportunity for a social re-union,
such as we UBed to have in our pio
neer life. I do hope a meeting will
bo promptly called and appropriate
committees appointed to get up a
celebration worthy our facilities and
advantages. Dot.
For the Journal.
Wool.
I notice in tho Jourxal, sales of
wool in Columbua. Who ia it makea
purchases of this kind, and why do
they not advertise and lot the peo
ple know what they are doing? But
of this I can assure them that unless
Columbus buyers are more liberal
than they have heretofore been, far
mers will ship their wool, for with
competing lines of railroad it would
pay them to do so. "A word to the
wise," etc. t.
