Wm. Bucher's saloon was the
scene of a narrow escape from fire
Saturday evening, caused by the
breaking of the hook suspending a
three-lamp chandelier from the ceil
ing, sending the burning lamps with

than the smashiug of the chandelier
and lamps was done.

It is said that the Mennonitee

readers furnish us a description ?

made for a grand good time.
A friend Suggests that farmers
take an old reaper, lit for nothing
else, or a good stroug' mower, and
cut down the weeds for fuel. Many
a farmer has enough on his place to
last him all winter, aud our friend
suggests that if only we had the
means of utilizing them properly in
large stoves or ranges, the fuel ques
tion would he solved.
Arnold's jewelry store on Ne
braska Avenue was undergoing a
regular house-cleaning ordeal Sat
urday, and with the bright new

ing Machine agent, J. L. Lewis has
changed his headquarters to this
building.
A convention of the Nebraska
doctors has been called to meet at

medical profession of the state.
The entertainment given by the

The end of the world to you and the
rest of us poor mortals, will certain
ly come iu due time. Don't fret and
worry. Old Mother Shipton might
have been a wipe old lady iu her
day, but she didn't know everything
about the magnificent workings of
our graud little world. Some peo
ple call her an ugly old hag, and
others doubt whether she ever ex
isted, and that the story of Mother
Shipton is a clean piece of fiction

from beginning to end.
'O-Mr. E. Klein, for Borne
clerk in the store of L. Kramer of
this place, went to Omaha Sunday
last, aud will on next Sunday, the
ICth inst., be united at the altar of

The happy couple will make a bridal
tour of some of the eastern states,
and returning make Omaha their
future home, where, we understand,
Mr. Klein will go into business.
The best wishes of the Journal will

G. W. Hulst and V. T. Price
have purchased the lumber and
grain interests of W. H. Hunneman
of this city, aud the business will
hereafter be conducted under the
firm name of Hulst & Price. Mr.
Hulst ia so welll known, from his
connection with the business inter
ests of Columbus from an early day,
as to render unnecessary any words
of commendation on the part of the
Journal. Mr. Price is a younger
man both iu years and in the city's
business history, but one who has
established an equally good reputa
tion for promptness and reliability
in all bis business transactions. The
city '8 business interests will not
suffer at the hads of these gentle
men. .John Huber, our jolly towns
man, during the extreme cold
weather one day last week started
to the barn with two pails of water
for his stock, and alter going to
wards the barn some distance, both
feet slipped from under him on the
ice, and in trying to save himself
from a hard fall, he threw hia arraB
up, still holding on to the pails, in
such a manner as to pour their en
tire contents all over him; either
from the shock or, his weight he
didn't get up right away, and when
he made the final effort be found his
clothing had frozen fast to the ice,
aud probably would have remained
there had not Mrs. Huber come to
his relief with a kettle of hot water
and thawed him out.
The "grind-stone case," as the
snit of Bronlette & Laughlin vs. D.
C. Kavanaugh, has been waggishly
dubbed by some of the legal frater
nity, bids fair to become of consid
erable interest. The suit is to test
the right of property to certain
rough slabs of marble which were
mortgaged to D. C. Kavanaugh in
consideration of his going on the
bail bond of Broulette at the time be
was arraigned for certain apparent
ly crooked actions in this place not
long since, and Who has since
"skipped oat." Mr. Laughlin, we
believe, claims to haye had aa inter
est in the said marble slabs, and that
it was without his consent and
knowledge that they were mort
gaged. The case was appealed from
Justice Bailey's court to the county
court, where it was in hearing last
week before a jury and was contin
ued to the February term.
Monday's west-bouud cxpicss
over the U. P. was ditclid near
Ogalalla. Nobody seriously hurt.
E. J. Baker and Norman Small were
on the train.
The colored man, Chaa. Tyloan,
that a short time ago was bound
over to the district court to answer
the charge of theft, an. account of
which was in the Journal at the
lime, died at the county jail Sunday
night. A coroner'a inquest was
called and a jury summoned to in
vestigate at 4 o'clock Tuesday after
noon too late for particulars this
week.
We are at liberty to announce
to the citizens of Columbus and vi-
'cinity that the cast for "The Octo
roon," which we announced last
week would soon be put apon the
boards by Mr. Geo. J. Anderson,
an old-time actor, supported by our
home talent, the Columbua Dramat
ic Society, has been made, and the
dates for the entertainment set for
Thursday and Friday, January 20
and 21. We find Mr. Anderson
spoken of by the presa where he has
appeared in thia play uudor similar
circumstances in the most compli
mentary manner both as an actor and
genial gentleman, and we predict
that the entertainment given will
really be a first-class one. Tickets
to all parts of the house, 50 cents;
children under 12, 25 ceuis. Re
served seat tickets can be had at the
Columbua Drug Store without extra
charge.
Notwithstanding the unfavora
bleneaa of the weather, which was
extremely cold, Mrs. Page's concert
drew a fair audience, who were
amply repaid for their attendance.
"Little Pieces by Little Hands," was
particularly pleasing, being the per
formance of the wee boys and girls
of the class, which as a whole passed
off iu a manner to reflect credit to
the little ones as well as their in
structor. The performance of the
older members of the class was ex
cellent, in some .instances we might
say brilliant, considering the age
and practice of the performei .-.
Miss Mamie Huuneman in cloning
this part of the programme, being
persistently euchored until she again
returned to the piano. The enter
tainment throughout was raptur
ously received and at the close Mrs.
Page returned her thanks for the
attendance, and to friends for kindly
assistance, in a few well chosen
words.
Au east-bouud freight train on
the U. P. when a short distance this
side of Clarksville, Friday evening,
between six and seven o'clock, en
countered a broken rail, was thrown
from the track and after bouncing
over the ties for some distance was
ditched, resulting iu the wreck of
several empty cars, but no loss of
life nor serious injury to train men
or passengers. Dr. Martyn, of this
city waB in the caboose at the time
of the disaster, and on the ditching
of the train was thrown diagonally
from the rear to the front comer of
the car, and escaped with only a few
alight bruises about the face and
person. It was certainly a very
narrow escape, and seems almost a
miracle that no lives were lost or
bones broken. The Dr. came down
on Saturday's express and brought
with him for treatment, a section
hand, Michael McMahoo, who had
a hand injured while engaged in
clearing away the wreck after the
accident. He lost the little finger
of the left hand, which had to be
amputated.
The City Prlntlat;.
Last spring, upon the accession of
the present city council, the Era of
thia place was constituted the offi
cial organ of that body. Since the
election iu November, the Era, as a
newspaper, has bad no existence
whatever, uot a number having been
printed and issued in that time.
The clamor of the respectable,
law-abiding citizens against the
gambling dens which have had un
controlled sway for some time, An
ally came to head in the enactment
of an ordinance to suppress the evil,
which was and is enticing into its
toils many of our youths, who are
not conscious of the life,whoae alph
abet they are just learning.
It ia necessary that every ordin
ance of general interest be publiahed
before it becomes effective. Of
course, the Council, having an offi
cial news paper, ordered it publish
ed in that paper, which at the time
had no existence whatever. There
was only one thing to do, under the
circumstances, to-wit publish iatbc
Journal, which was done.
On New Year's day, at a meeting
of the Council, the subject was
brought up, and, doubtless, recog
nizing the fact that the Era was not
in existence as a newspaper, the
Council, by a unanimous vote, de
clared the Journal the official pa
per. Presently, Mr. Uensley ap
peared, and, learning of the action
taken, stated that the publication of
the Era was about to be resumed,
whereupon the Council (by unani
mous vote again, as we are inform
ed) rescinded their action, and made
the Era the official organ.
Of course it will be an utter im
possibility for the City Fathers to
proclaim the existence of their lawB
throagh the month of a newspaper
corpse, bnt the propriety of selecting
such as official newspaper, having
no existence, and having shown no
signs of life for two months, may
well be doubted.
It would seem to the ordinary
citizen that when a yearly contract
has been made with a man to do
work, and he fails to show any
signs of life for two months, it
would be about time to let the con
tract to another man, notwithstand
ing any squeakings from the grave
of the defunct.
Mr. John Gleasen, of Strcator,
111., writes to the Journal offering
some suggestions on the coal ques
tion in this section. He is acquaint
ed with the lay of tho country, and
feels quite confident that a drill hole
sunk some where in the bed of
Lookiug Glass creek, near the bluffs"
where the" coal comes nearer the
surface would demonstrate the fact
that coal exists there and ia practic
ally accessible. The teat could be
made by a combination of individ
uals interested who would jointly
share in the expense. Mr. G. is in
the midst of the coal fields in the
section from which he. writes, and
should any person choose to com
municate with him they can get
information upon the expense of
drilling.
The liquor power of the state is
growing desperate. They realize
that the intelligence of the state is
against them and only hope to win
by corruption. They dnre not accept
King's challenge to debate the
question but boast they cau buy
votes. The following "private" let
ters have been sent to the saloon
keepers of the state:
Columbus, Neb., Dec. 16, '80.
Dear Sir: At a mass meeting of
the business men and voters, held at
the court house, on the evening of
December 11th, for the purpose of
devising ways and means to defeat
the prohibitory liquor law at the
coming session ot the State legisla
ture, we had the honor of being
delegated, with instructions to cor
respond with the leading brewers
and liquor dealers through the state,
for the purpose of securing the co
operation of those who are interest
ed in the defeat of a prohibitory
liquor law. Hoping that we may
receive your co-operation and aid,
We are very respectfully yours,

The Columbus Era is dead and it
is fitting that such letters should be

We find no fault with the Globe
for the expression of honest convic
tions, but we do object to seeiug the
Era punched while it is down. It
is not dead, but only taking one of
its periodical rests one that is some
what extended it is true ; but to back
us up in our assertion that the Era
is not dead we have the action of the

Editor Journal : The partial fail
ure of crops in this vicinity, causes
everything to move somewhat slow
ly this winter; but still we progress
although somewhat slowly, it may
be, but we think, surely.
C. P. Day, an old settler, and one
of our best farmers, has built a good
farm house one mile south of town.
The new livery aud feed stable in
connection with the Bellou hotel is
one ot the largest aud best in the
county.
Christmas Eve,"Santa Claus" load
ed his boat with presents for both
old- and young, and conscious of
performing a pleasing duty, brought
it into the Congregational church,
where an admiring audience gave
hia "mythical honor" a hearty greet
ing. Spells & Klosterraan, of David
City, have commenced to shell their
last crib of corn here, containing
about 8,000 bushels, and cobbs can
now be bought for a few days at
the astonishingly low price of fifteen
cents per hundred pounds. What a
boon it will be but not priceless, as
the R. R. does not yet furnish near
the amount of coal required by the
citizens and farmers, and corn is too
scarce to be burned this winter.
This section of country is flooded
with petitions to our legislature for
prohibition, and also legislation to
nrotect both consumer and producer
from the remorseless aud cruel greed
of the railroads in the exaction of
rates far too high; aud legislators
had better pay heed to the notes of
warning, for it seems that their con
stituents purpose to keep an eye
upon each and every one of them.
Success to both petitions. Why not ?
Delsman & Co. close up their es
tablishment here in a short time, but
we are sorry to lose Johnnie.

Letter from Metz.
Mr. Editor: The people north
east of us in Burrows precinct did
not have all the Christmas trees,
we bad one in the Bloedorn school
house, too. It was planted there
chiefly through the exertions of Mr.
Charles Kaminski, who collected the
funds aud with little help from oth
ers arrauged everything. Good mu
sic by him on his fiddle, aud by Mrs.
Wm. Bloedorn on the organ, as well
aa some good singing by a few
Welsh neighbors contributed to the
enjoyment of the occasion. The
boys attending school there rected
some good pieces. "The Chicago
Fire," a declamation by Mr.. J. S.
Henrich and two short addresses by
Rev. A. Henrich, one in Gernuu,
the other in English, were listened
to and well appreciated. Mr. Kam
inski, Sr., the excellent veterinary
surgeon from your city, plttyed
splendidly on the fiddle.
But tho last, but not least, part ot
the programme was the best. 1
mean the distribution of the pres
ents, with which the tree was load
ed. After that, every one present
received a little something and ev
erybody seemed to be well pleased
and undoubtedly thought " Da
Capo 1"
The threatening law suit between
Mr. Eugene Bacon and Mr. Martin
Bloedorn has been amicably settled.
By all means "let us have peace,"
even if the lawyers earn a little less.
P.W.
Card of Thank.
To the kind friends who so cheer
fally aided me in the Concert given
for my benefit, and especially to the
Columbus Mteunerchor, do I wish to
return ray heartfelt thanks. I shall
always remember with gratitude the
hearty co-operation and many acts
of kindness from the gentlemen of
this society, and of my patronB and
friends. It is ray desire to be ever
worthy of your esteem.

It Must lie Stopped.
About forty thousand head of
calves have been brought from east
ern dairy districts to Chicago with
in the past five months, and sold
from there to go to various sections
Colorado,Kunsas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri, etc. Where did
these calves come from ? It is said
that they were mainly from north
ern Ohio and western New Yorr,
but how do we know but that some
of them were from the pleuro-pneu-monia-infected
regions of New Jer
sey, eastern Pennsylvania, and Ma
ryland ? It is a disgrace to our
government that such a thing should
be possible iu view of the condition
of things iu the eastern dairy dis
tricts. It is like playing with matches
over a powder magazine, and if it
shall be permitted another season
we can scarcely even hope that our
western herds will escape infection.
Congress must at its next session
enable the western states to protect
themselves from this menace, etc.
The foregoing is from the Nation
al Live Stock Journal. It urges to
petition Congress, but before we
get proper laws and have them en
forced the terrible disease may have
killed off' our herds. A more effec
tive and quicker preventive would
be to stop buying cattle coming
from the east. h.
