J. N. Taylor was at Albion last
week on business. He brought back

Fred. Coan, whilo cleaning a

last had the fingers of his right hand

at 'first that amputation would be

of them at least may be saved.
Anti-prohibitionists believe that
there will be an effort made to so
cure the passage of a prohibitory
law by the legislature; some of the
other party claim that they will en
deavor to secure the submission of
the question to a vote of the people
iu the form of an amendment to the
constitution.
At the anti-prohibitory meeting
Monday evening, J. E. North pre
sided, and a committee consisting of
C. A. Spcicc, Ii. H. Henry, J. P.
Becker, J. G. Higgins aud G. V.
Hines was appointed to prepare a
remonstrance against the prohibitory
movement, to be presented ala meet
ing next Saturday evening.
The fire in our neighboring
town, DaviirCity on the morning of
the 3d inst., did considerable dam
age, consuming nearly .$7,000 worth
of property. It is thought the fire
originated from the stove in the
hack part of the furniture store
building. Peebles, Pepper, Itell and
Leonard were also losers by the fire.
The literary correspondent who
wants pay for a contribution should
prepare manuscript reasonably good
iu orthography at least free from
such glaring inaccuracies as "coin
Only," "inelial," "alow," &c An
editor's time is worth something,
and no one ought to interlerc with
his prerogative of spelling at ran
dom. At Fremont the city authorities
interested themselves iu preventing
the spread of that fearful disease,
scarlet fever, aud now after three
weeks, it is said to be nearly stamp
ed out. It is a very contagious dis
ease, may be carried in the clothes,
many physicians fear it more than
they do small-pox. Parents should
take every precaution to save their
little ones.
John McMahou recently did a
piece of nice detective work. S. D.
Finch, alias J. O. Grout, absconded
from Aldcn, la., with about $1200 ot
somebody ele's money, and, it was
supposed, came to Nebraska. John
had a postal card giving particulars,
and was on the lookout; fiually, he
had a slight clue, and by a little in
quiry and some personal inspection
he found his man under a different
name on a homestead west of Oak
dale. He was playing honest gran
ger. Of course John put him ou the
right road, and he will probably go
where he belongs-outside the pales
of civilized society, and within the
walls ot a penitentiary.
Geo. Itanium says that the Col
orado Central, from near Julesburg
to near Evans, runs through a good
country right along the Platte river.
Wild game of all kinds is abundant,
and iu warm weather the dreams of
the citizens are enlivened by the
movements of the rattle snake iu
their beds. Geo. thinks our country
here is much ahead of Colorado for
the stock raiser. Just now there
arc a considerable number of sheep
and cattle dying there- because of
the snow and extreme cold and hick
of protection aud feed. It is expect
ed that the It. & M. will push their
Republican Valley road westward
next season.
A Inng;trou. Aii'miiicc.
A gentleman who lives ou Shell
Creel; tells us that there arc numer
ous instances within his knowledge
of men throwing the carcasses of
animals into Shell Creek and this,
too, of those that have died of dis
ease such as black leg and hog chol
era. If Shell creek was a stream
used only for agricultural and man
ufacturing purposes, this practice
would not be especially injurious,
but, on nearly all farms along its
margin, the cattle, horses, hogs aud
sheep are accustomed to get their
daily supply ol water, and it is very
important that that supply should he
kept as pure a well-nieining, intel
ligent and decent people can keep
it.
From time immemorial the pol
lution of the waters has been regard
ed as one ol the meanest aud most
reprehensible of crimes, and if there
are any men in this county who Irive
no respect for the rights of their
neighbors, and ihe welfare of the
community iu this regard, they
ought to be made to feel the full
force of the penalty which the law
attaches to their conduct.
A (iSoimI 'riling.
John Harris has invented a ma
chine for rope-making that promises
to be a grand success. S. T. Hill is
preparing a neat model to show the
beauty of the invention. It takes
the strands, twists aud stretches
them, and winds the rope on a spool
ready for the market. The machine,
for use, will :ot about 2fi5. and its
capacity is estimated by Mr. Harris
at a ton a day, $200 worth of rope, at
wholesale rates. He estimates Ihe
entire cost of building and other
machinery necessary to carry on the.
business would he $3,000. and is de
sirous of forming a company here.
There is a wonderful amount of
rope used iu Ibis country. There is
also a large quantity of flax straw
that is now going to waste, that
could be utilized. The culture of
flax is already profitable for the seed
alone, and it an enterprise of this
kind could be put ou foot here, we
would not only have better ropes
than we now have, but the growth ol
flax would become a money making
business. Mr. Harris is a practical
rope maker of many years experi
ence, is evidently an honest man, aud
we hope he may succeed iu securing
stockholders enough to make his
project a success.

The organization of this society
was completed last Friday evening
at a meeting of the lawyers at the
otfice of W. S. Geer, Enq. .
The object of this organization is
to maintain among its members a
high klaudard of professional integ
rity among the members of the bar
generally; to encourage a thorough
and liberal education, Ihe acquisi
tion of a law library, and the due
administration of Justice to all
classes of society without distinc
tion. Certainly no higher or more ex
alted purpose could be desired. The
law of professional deportment and
etiquette was declared to be the rule
of action of every member. AVe are
satisfied that the Columbus I:ir As
sociation is second to none iu central
Nebraska, aud that it may justly lay
claim to legal talent aud ability
equal to any county bar association
in the State. The charier members
arc as follows: Chas. A. Speice, M.
Whitmoyer, W. S. (Jeer, Lcander
Gerrard, A. M. Po?t, John G. Hig
gins, George G. Itowmau, M. K.
Turner, Ityrou Millett, Messrs. Cor
nelius & Sullivan, Stephen McAllis
ter and II. G. Carew.
The first annual meeting will be
held ou the second Tuesday of next
month at the law otfice of Messrs.
Whitmoyer, Gerrard & Post. Mr.
Speice was elected temporary Pres
ident and Geo. G. Bowman tempo
rary Secretary aud Treasurer.

As intimations of what our Slatr
needs in legislation can do no harm.
I would suggest that one of our
greatest needs at the present time is
railroad legislation. While we be
lieve in strict justice, "and will not
grumble if more is conceded to
them,'' we do not certainly believe
it proper that the industries of Ne
braska should bear the euonnors
and cruel rates on freight and travel,
at the present time levied.
As railroads increase iu the differ
ent counties and bonds arc cheer
fully voted, iu anticipation of com
peting lines, so do tho rates on our
railroads increase, and those who so
emphatically dreamed of cheapci
rales, by competing lines, waked up
to find them pooled.
Freight rates are higher now in
this county than ever, and we believe
they also are iu Platte, and it seems
to us thai if the people of Nebraska
do not soon wake up lo the emer
gency of the case, and by legislation
compel a stoppage of the cruel ex
tortion as practiced by our railroads
they had better quit fanning, and
let the Slate again become "the
desert," as of old.
No industry can possibly bear,
and assuredly farming cannot, the
rates taken by these public carriers
And, Mr. Turner, we do sincere!)
hope that you and your co-laborers
in the coming legislature at Lincoln,
will receive such loads of petitions,
from every school -district ; and
without respect to parlies that will
compel a respectful hearing, and the
framing of a constitutional and just
law on tills matter, just to the peo
ple of Nebraska, and also just to the
railroads.
Improvements are still being
made al Kising City, but our pres
ent communication is loo long to
particularize. Our paper (the Inde
pendent) is well liked, and we be
lieve Mr. Verity, Ihe editor, will be
pecuniarily appreciated in W.st

En. Journal: A communication
appeared iu your paper some weeks
ago, describing to some extent this
busy little burg; since that time,
quite a number ot additions have
been made, among them a large
store hy Messrs. Ripp & Fuelis, a
brick blacksmith shop, and a bar
room and hail by Louis Schroeder.
'Lou)" being a fiddler, himself, the
"light laulastic" will he swung now
for all that's out.
We are informed that our friend,
Nels Peterson, Esq., sold 200 busli
of wheat to Hipp, tho dealer, at 80
cl., or the rise ol the market. A
good contract.
The literary society which has
been conducted so successfully al
the Mc Alpine school-house for the
past three winters is about to begin
its labors again. We wish them a
pleasant time.
The Catholic church, erected
chiefly by the Polaudcrs iu this
vicinity, is approaching completion.
It will cost .$300.
Some of our citizens attended the
panorama aud dance given at the
Fields house at Platte Centre, by
Messrs. Maughau and Leisenring,
on Thanksgiving evening, and re
port a splendid lime.
The school indistrict.il closed on
the 23d. In the afternoon some of
the patrons and friends visited the
school to listen to the " patriots"
perform, and after tho presentation
of reward cards and so on, the
friends and pupils went to their re
spective horneo,all agreeing that the
afternoou was most pleasantly spent
and voting a repetition of the same.

Editor Journal: In your issue
of December 1st, under the heading
"Railroad Oppression," yon repub
lish a communication signed "Citi
zen," taken from the Butler County
Press, which I think goes right to
the mark.
If the legislature this winter shall
fail to relieve the people from this
oppression, I venture the predic
tion that, the one which will assem
ble in 18S3 will he not quite so solid
republican as the present one.
I desire to call atteulion to the
fact that a convention of farmers and
shippers has been called to meet at
Lincoln January 5th, 1881, for the
purpose of organizing the "Nebraska
State Farmers' Alliance," and for
the further purpose of impressing on
the legislators the necessity for im
mediate relief from railroad oppres
sion. All Granges, Farmers Clubs,
Farmers' Alliances and kindred as
sociations are invited to send dele
gates. Platte county has several Granges
and Farmers' Clubs. Do they pro
pose to ho represented? I hope so.
Platte county ought to be represent
ed. It certainly has had its share
of radiuad oppression.

open it aud ascend one flight of
stairs, you enter the sanctum
sanctuary of Tiik Coi.umuus
Joi-un'ai. Every day a hundred
men, more or less, come iuto the
New York Store, asking, "Where
is the Joi'knai. oflice? Tho boys in
tore are kept pretty busy now and

Just as sure as shooting the man
