The Jui'k.nal lias neglected to mention the birth to Mrs. George Bieder of Albion, of a son, about three weeks since. The happy pa- rents are lo be congratulated. Louis Kramer returned to the I city Monday from Crete. He expects to remain here now for awhile. M. Kramer, from Chicago, is also ex pected on a visit of several days. Two young ladies of this city actually refrained from talking one afternoon last week, lor fifteen min utes without any very serious con sequences following the silence. We believe it. is the intention of our base ball club to play at Cen tral City at thp Tournament during the Soldiers' re-union, and of course they'll come out first beat, they're bouud to take the cake. The David City Republican of last week said among other things in its State news column that a sta ll tie and one end of the Opera Uoubc in Columbus had burned. Chief "Buckr.-kot-ty," where were you ? - Fremont is to have a creamery.

One who has not seen the Kum mer Guards on drill for some time would be surprised to see with what rapidity they are nearjng profection. Their new uniform, for appearance, and their precision in drill will give them the prize at the soldiers' re union at Central City next month. While Mrs. G. G. Bowman was returning from the pic-nic at Ste vens's Lake, Tuesday night of last week, she was violently thrown from the buggy, and considerably bruised. No dangerous injuries, her triends will be glad to learn. A long train of cars handsome ly decorated with flags and bunt ing, containing Sir Knights Tem plar from the Pacific Coast, passed through this city Sunday noon. They were on their way to attend the triennial Conclave at Chicago this week. Several men watched Johu God frey the other day, running fast to catch the train. To see a long, lean, lank fellow skipping along at a 2 :40 gait is not surprising, but when you ' see a fat, chubby, 250 or 300 pound man rolly-bollyiug along at a two minute gait, it is exceedingly rare. John got there. A man by the name of Ed. Smith was arrested in Nance county one day last week, by SherifT Spiel man, ou a charge of obtaining goods under false pretences from William Smith of this place. He had a hear ing before Judge Bowman, and was held to appear at the next term of the District' Court. Failing lo give a $500 bond he was sent to jail. It is aid that th Platte river bridge is not in very good order to be sure it is passable, but it is not finished, by any means. It is very important to the business interests of a town that the roads leading thereto should be iu the best of order. Even yet we have customers from a distance of 20 miles south of u&, who do their heavy trading here. The two companion brick busi ness houses erected by J. H. Milch ell on the south, and Messrs. Whit raoyer, Gertard & Post on the north, are fast approaching completion, and will be fine structures. We es pecially iiko the inside arrangements of the law 'oflice, being very conven ient for general office, consaltatiou room aud library, the latter very nicely lighted from above. . "Messrs. A. Hen rich & .Son of Bloomingdale Stock Farm, this county, have recently made exten sive purchases of thoroughbred short horn cattlo for their larm on Shell creek, a movement which will result, as it has everywhere else, in great improvement lo the cattle of the neighborhood," so says the National Livestock Journal for this month, the best authority on stock matters. Alice, daughter of Wm. Butler, ex-Commissioner of Butler Co., and aged IS years, committed ioicide by drowning iu the Platte river on Tuesday of last week. It seems that the members of her family were bitterly opposed to her proposed marriage with a Mr. Hard man (said to be a worthy young man), and that, goaded to desperation, in a fit of temporary insanity, she sought relief in death. A slight shower of rain in this vicinity Sunday night. Tbe rains of Sunday afternoon seemed to fol low the course of the streams. On Saturday a rise of the water in wells wa reported by several persons, which is regarded as an indubitable proof that falling weather is at hand. If "all signs do not fail" we may expect more rain. The trees, the grass and all animal life certainly feel grateful tor what they have received. Several days ago Sheriff Spiel man received a postal card from Sheriff Anderson of Oquawka, III., descriptive of several men who broke jail at that place July 23d, and made their escape. Saturday last officer Wake arrested two men fully answering tbe description given in the postal, of J. M. Ball and a man named Peasley. A reward of $50 each will be due our officials, or some of them, for apprehending tbeBe men. Chief of Police McMahon and special Nunnelly, as well at Dep't Wake are entitled to part of the credit of capturing Hall & Peasley, the escaped convicts from III. Mc Mahon and Nunnelly had them un der surveillance, but not seeing the "call" for them until the morning after their appearance here, they made no arrest. After reading the description received by the sheriff, they knew that they were the men needed, and then the search began, ending in Wake's capturing them at the Loup bridge. Messrs. Anderson & Coan, the new bankers, are getting their room in shape, aud are ready for business. Their room will be entirely free from obstructions by the first of next week. They have provided themselves with on of the Detroit Co's fire-proof sales, with burglar proof chest, guarded by the Cele brated Yale Time Lock, and the entire "box'' looks like a safe depos itory for surplus funds. These gentlemen have como to locate per manently in tbe city, aud they sol icit a share of public patronage John Wiggius recently took a trip, touching at Genoa, St. Edwards, Albion, Neoraa and Fullerton and also Norfolk, lie gives a good account of all these towns. At Norfolk be saw several Columbus men at work. Tbe Mill Company are building a two-story brick, 40x12$; Albion is booming; St. Edwards is doing a good business, and is surrounded by an excellent country ; Fullerton is a big town for its age, having 2 hotels, 2 hardware stores, 6 general stores, 1 drug store, 3 liveries, c. Reynolds and Bui- tara, iormeriy oi uoiumuus are flourishing. Rex" Inquires How comes it that our police force can arrest, pass sentence and punish those whom they consider as guilty of any offences"? On last Sunday evening the police arrested some six or seven persons, and notwithstand ing the excessive heat shut them up in box car 3t36 there to swelter, nuffer and famish uutil let out by the police or auy other person whose sympathy would overcome the dread of interfering with the work of the Chief of police. Can and will this black hole of Calcutta busines? be carried ou in our midst in violation of law, order aud humanity? Bkx. There used to be a theory that "the king" could do uo wrong. This necessarily presupposed that the king's thinking was done iu straight lines. Our Rex seems to be a littje out of his reckoning, ac cording to the account given by the the police. Ou Sunday night there were seven men put off a west bound freight train at this point, aud by the officers were put into a box car. It seems to have been a customary proceeding to use a. car, being convenient, and saviug the expense consequent upon confine ment in jail. Our officers generally have a dozen or more postal cards aud letters in their pockets contain ing descriptions of escaped convict or unconvicted scoundrels, &c, aud it has been their custom, when they catch these roving, night gentry to keep them safe till morning, when, if they don't correspond with any descriptions on the "watch list" they are let go. In tbe case spoken of two of the men corked up in box car 3636 were extremely anxious to get out, a great deal more so thau the ordinary tramp, who has uot vet developed into the full-fledged criminal, gen erally manifests on such occasions. An officer assures us thai these two were the companions iu escape of the two mentioned elsewhere from a jail iu Illinois, and that by the maudliu sympathy of some mau the car was opened, and they escaped. As to the "black hole of Calcutta" iu the shape of bo-car 3636, two of the migratory brigade assured us that they were not severely uncom fortable therein; didn't suffer for lack of fresh air or on account of excessive heat; and at II o'clock ou Monday they surely couldn't, either of them, have successfully palmed himself oil' as a victim of abuse at the hands of a policeman. We believe that uo concentrated fiflort has ever been made by our citizens to securer settlement upon uncultivated lands in the immediate vicinity of the city. This ought to be done, and can be if every man will make the effort. We believe that if the proper stepB are taken the number of farms within a radius of ton miles can be doubled iu the next two years. The welfare of a com munity, as of an individual, depends directly upon the development of native resources, and the proper use of whatever facilities for bettering our condition, nature or the combi nation of circumstances may have placed within our reach. With the best of natural advantages und the most favorable circumstances, suc cess rests mainly upou the energy and ability displayed in pushing affairs after plans aud projects are fully concerted. If there are ob structions let them be pushed out of the way, driven ont or circumvent ed. Nothing can withstand a man or a community with right and the natural forces working in their favor. Capt. H. S. Lovejoy of the Nio brara Land Office was In the city several days last week on business. From him we learned a number of facts as to affairs in his section of the 8tate. Fort Niobrara is situa ted 156 miles from Oakdale, and all supplies for the same are received bv rail at Oakdale, and transported to the Fort by trains of mules and oxen, which makes considerable ex tra business for tbe burg. Oakdale baa doubled in the number of houses and in population since November last. Antelope county has within her limits 90,000 acres of lands be longing to the B. & M. R. R. Co that are not in the market. This is unfortunate for the county and its advancement, as these are among the moat productive lands within her borders, and ought to ba util ized. J. T. McLean, a respectable and quiet citizen of Looking Glaus pre cinct, this county, claims that he was badly insulted and treated by two members of the city police Saturday morning at about 4 o'clock. He was bailed on the street by said police and asked where he was from and where he was going. His reply was I'm from home and its none of your business where I'm going. There upon one of tbe police presented a pistol at his person and wanted to know if he knew who he was. Mr. McLean came in during the cool of the night aud was on bis road to Omaha on legitimate business. He didn't tell his business, and was not arrested. -- Grand Excursion to lMncelM aail At:kleB.

Mr. Editor: This is not Metz the great fortress taken by the Ger mans from the French in the late war, but it's the Metz taken by a few sturdy Gcrmaus from this prai rie and turned into nice farms situa ted in our own county of Platte. Karsen Peterson, our postmaster here, was presented with a baby by his wife it is either a girl or else a boy I don't kuow which but 1 am sure it is either one or the other. Mr. Kamiuski is going to leave Nebraska again lor the second time, but Nebraska is not to blame this time it is. somethiug else. We re joice with Peterson and sorrow with Kamiuski. Some think we shall lose our post-office here since Platte Centre is so near, but what should our bachelor friends do it they have to go so far for their love letters. Mr. Martin Bloedorn's blacksmith shop is pretty well patronized. Martin, like his father and like his brother William, is a first -class blacksmith an evil which seems to run iu the family. We have no doubt he will, if he keeps at it, build up a good business there, and his brother William at Platte Centre having lately been presented with a little son by his wife, can well afford to lose a fevt customers his shop befog too crowded anyhow. This Is harvest time, Mr. Editor, and people have not much time to talk politics, but what they do talk is all Garfield, and it is a sure fact that our hard-working farmers of all parties have but little faith in Hancock with his Mate right ten dencies the southern war debt hanging like a dark cloud over our heads hard-working farmers have taxes enough to pay anyhow. Shell Creek Valley from its head to its mouth will go for Garfield, depend on itl I see iu your valuable journal that there are at least three democratic candidates for county commissioner iu this valley fruitful Shell Creek valley.more fruitful in office-hunters this year than in wheat 1 Let them run, Mr. Editor; at the end of the race they will all have a glorious defeat, and whatever they had of a good name will be gone and done for. What a pity that such noble men, offering their services in such an unselfish manner, should be so ungratefully defeated and defamed by tho people 1 But that's the way it goes. I am glad those candidates are all above us jn this valley so we won't have to share the disgrace of their defeat. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I offer for Garfield, three cheers 1 - Our Rinlns: Letter. Editor Journal: On Wednes day evening, Rising's large hall was filled to more thau its seating capac ity with Garfield recruitB of both gendi rs. The clnb here is a live one, and J. C. Roberts, Esq., of David City made the speech of the evening. The music and singing by the glee club was excellent, and richiy enjoyed by the large audience of intelligent ladies and gentlemen. The ekib meets every alternate Wednesday evening and at its next meeting will be addressed by Mr. Wilgus and Mr. Stafford of David City. Butler couuty will' be heavy for the Republican ticket this fall, as far as the Presidential nominee is concerned, at all events. Col. A. Roberts of Rising City is prominently and favorably mention ed for State senator. The Colonel would make a good senator, and most assuredly on no question could he be either bought or sold. No pressure could be possibly brought to bear on him, that would move him one hair's breadth from known duty, and the will of bis constituents, and no one so far mentioned for the oflice in this county, can begin to poll the vote that will attach itself to the Col., if be securer the nomi nation. The State is in need of just such men at Lincoln, to do its ser vice, and we more than wish that senatorial chair may be warmed up with Col. Roberts, as its bouored ocenpaut. It Is dry enough here ro be called an extreme dry, yea dryest time tbe oldest resident can possibly remember, and vegetation of all kinds is suffering, and that severely. Mr. Editor, that U the least we can say in praise of the weather, and rest assured it is also the best we can say, too. Tbe immense pros pective corn yield is becoming smaller, and still no rain.
