Saroui's sirens are superb snides,
so says the most modest man we
could find, who confessed that he
was present Monday evening. A
show that advertises uot to admit
boys under 12 years of age, ought to
be suppressed.
There are little patches of blue
grass we know of here that with
stood the severe dry weather of the
past two years. We suggest that if
farmers could supplant the wild by
the blue grass, that this would be the
paradise for stock.
The last patient, a woman, sent
from this county to the asylum at
Lincoln, returned homo Friday,
restored to reason again. The super
intendent of the asylum is doing a
good work, if we are to judge by
what he accomplishes.
All the timbers of that portion
of the Loup and Platte bridges
which went out with the flood, have
been found ; one of the spans was
five miles down stream ; three spans
of the U. P. Jackson Loup bridge
were found near the mouth of the
Loup.
Messrs. Morse & Cain, who are
the owners of two very excellent
horses, have had some large bills
struck at this office. The picture of
"Black Knight," as he appears there
on, is trne to life, and be is, without
doubt, one of the best horses of his
kiud in the State.
"Husband, where have you been,
and what kept you out so late to
night?'' no doubt was asked seventy
five times or more on Monday night
by good wives of the city, and the
answer we opine was similar to this
one: "At a special meeting of our
''lodge,' my dear!"
We learn that Eben Pierce, for
merly a merchant of this place, now
of Washington Territory, is "getting
rich," to quote our informant's
words. We are glad to hear of
Eben's good fortune, but believe he
would have made more had he re
mained in Columbus.
The old settler is ahead yet.
Pap Clother tells of a man in Ne
braska City who says he is almost
ashamed to 6ay it for fear he wou't
be believed, but that it is true, all
the 6ame, that in 1844 the water of
the Missouri was ten feet higher
than it is now. Next.
The best work on the roads ib
done while the soil is reasonably
moist. This is especially the best
time in the city, not alone because
of the compactness of the roads, but
because it causes the least dust. By
all means, if work is to be done on
the 6treels, let it be now or soon.
A letter came back to a Colum
bus correspondent tho other day from
St. Louis, simply because tho writer
had failed to sign his name. Too
much care cannot bo exercised in
this respect. The address of tho
writer should be given in full, to
avoid delay and vexation.
C. Lushbaugh of Fullertou was
in town Friday.and called at Journ
al headquarters on business. He
had all his small grain sown. In
coming to Columbus he was com
pelled to go to St. Edwards to find
a crossing for the Beaver. That
stream was haviug a boom of its
own.
We have received the first num
ber of the Western Woman's Jour
nal, to be published monthly at Lin
coln by E. M. Correll, price $1.25
a year. It iB an admirable magizine,
in all respects, and every voter in
Nebraska should become familiar
with its pages before he votes against
impartial suffrage.
Chas. Rudat came down from
Norfolk Thursday, walking from
that place to Madisou. Sunday
week the Elkhoru river rose, and in
the streets of Norfolk was six feel
deep. The Elkhorn Valley road
from Neligh to Norfolk, thirty miles,
was washed out, and about one
mile of the Niobrara road this side
of Norfolk.
W. W. Burgess, of the Genoa
Leader was in the city Friday last
shaking hands with his many
friends. We are glad to see that the
community where his paper is pub
lished appreciate his efforts to give
them au excelleut local paper. Genoa
and the region round about are des
tined to make their mark in the his
tory of the State.
A good many dealers in Nebras
ka who have handled hay this long
and hard winter have made a nice
thing out of their investments, es
pecially those living near the large
towns and cities. Hay went up
gradually as the demand for the
article increased, starting at $3, and
going to $10, $12, &c, and at Omaha
reaching $20 per ton.
A. W. Doland wishes to sell his
property In Columbus, aud will give
a good bargain. Good house and
lol 132x132, enclosed by good fence ;
a good barn, nearly new, all in good
repair. A good horse and buggy,
harness, robes, efc. Will sell them
at a big sacrifice, and give time if
desired. Apply to A. W. Doland
or to Becher & Price.
If farm machinery were sold "for
cash only the manufacturers would
make more money, because they
would dispense with all their collec
tion appliances and have uo bad
debts, and farmers would save more
because they would buy only what
was indispensable, and get it at
greatly reduced prices, perhaps oue
half the present quotations.
J. C. Pax ton of Butler county,
is a very neat advertiser. In the
Independent he says : "Iu order to
live, I sell goods. Iu order to sell
goods, I must have customers. In
order to have customers, I must sell
cheap. In order to sell cheap, I
must buy for cash. In order to buy
for cash, I must sell for cash. In
order to sell for cash, I must and
will make prices low."
On the outside of to-day's Jour
nal we publish a very interesting
incident of the late flood on the Mis
souri river one of the many peri
lous situations and narrow escapes.
On the outside will also be found a
reply to the "awful" article of Prof.
Grimmer's, tho reading of which
will show how important it is that
belief on vital subjects should rest
upon very strong testimony.
We saw friend Barnum Satur
day for the first time in many weeks,
though he says he has been in town
several times since the flood. He
gave us a very graphic-description
of his laBt experience hauling hay
twenty-five miles and being upset
near home, at night, in a mndhole
about four feet deep. He wouldn't
lend you any of that hay to save
your life he prizeB it so highly.
We learn that our good friend,
Capt. Hammond, objects to our very
modest way of quoting his emphatic
words last week. Get it exactly
right or not at all. The Journal,
if anything, is truthful, but never
likes to even seem rough or harsh.
This is all the excuse we can render
for not quoting word for word in
this instance. The Journal pre
fers to leave some things to the im
agination of the reader.
Judge Geer goes to Lincoln this
week in attendance on the Supreme
Court. The Judge, though severely
afflicted with rheumatism, is a man
of wonderful industry, which quality
always makes itself felt in the law.
He has three suits on hand at the
present term: Behr vs. Willard;
Diedtrick vs. L. & N. W. R. R. ; and
the case of Palmer vs. Maxwell, in
which he is engaged with N. D.
Jackson, Esq., of Oakdale.
If some one who knows how to
baudle the machinery and will take
interest enough to make the invest
ment, we believe money -could be
made here by an establishment for
working up sugar cane. There
would be an abundance of it plant
ed if farmers knew that they could
have access to a mill. It can be
raised as easily as com, and at no
greater expense, and we are told
that it would pay a farmer to'haul it
ten miles to a mill. "
Woman' l?rebyferiiil Ulu
Nionary Society.
Our town was favored last week
, by a gathering of ladies representing
the " Woman's Presbyterial Mis
sionary Society" of Omaha Presby
tery. There are eighteen auxiliary
societies in this Presbytery ; they
meet regularly once a month, and
are orgauized for homo and foreign
mission work. The Presbvterian
ladies of the Slate of Nebraska Iihvj
pledged themselves to support two
missionary teachers, Miss Carrie A.
Farrand, who labors iu the Home
Mission field at Malade City, Idaho,
and Miss Agnes Carey, who works
among the heathen women in
Oroomiab, Persia.
The ladies of Omaha Presbyter)
have, during the past year, raised
$600 to prosecute their work.
Some of the reports from auxiliary
societies were particularly interest
ing, giving in detail the various
modes of work, the hindrances en
countered, etc., etc. The ladies of
Creston pledge sufficient, yearly, to
support a scholar in the girlf' school
at Laos, Siam, to be named "Cres
ton." During the afternoon session the
ladies of Columbus resolved to form
themselves iuto an auxiliary society
aud join the ranks of workers, who
extend in one unbroken chain from
the Atlantic to thePacific coast. Mrs.
McGinitie was chosen as president ;
Mrs. Bowman, vice president; Miss
White, secretary, aud Mrs. Marshall
Smith, treasurer.
The PreBbytery invited the ladies
to occupy the eveuiug in their exer
cises ; tho audience present was large
and appreciative. Program as fol
lows : Report of Creston auxiliary,
read by Mrs. F. N. McCandlish;
report of Young Ladies' Band ot
Omaha, by Miss Lida Wilson ; Gen
eral Presbyterial Reports by Mrs.
A. P. Nicholas, tho Presbyterial sec
retary ; a Sabbath school exeiciso
ou India, led by Mrs. P. L. Perrine.
We are glad to see the ladie enter
so heartily, so euthuiastically, upon
this work, as it is so emphatically
" woman's work for woman" and
none but women can have access to
the degraded occupants of the ze
nanas aud harems of heathen lands.
The status of womau iu any coun
try, defines its civilization ; hence the
women, the mothers of heathen
lands, must be reached before wc
can expect to find the countries
thetnBelY.es christianized.
A highly intelligent and cultivated
Hindoo gentleman (uot a christian,
however), recently asserted, at a lit
erary dinner iu Bombay, India, that
India could never approach tho high
type of civilization of' England until
her women occupied a higher plane.
This work of educating the wo
men in heathen lands, is what our
Jadies' missionary organizations of
the .United States are uow doing.
We wish them a hearty God speed.
Presbytery.
The Omaha PreBbytery met in the
Presbyterian Church at Columbus,
Tuesday evening, April 19.
Rev. Harvey Wilson, of Dakota
City, preached the opening sermon.
Rev. J. A. Hood, the last moderator
present, constituted Presbytery with
prayer. Bev. S. B. Neilsou, of Wa
terloo, was then elected moderator,
aud Rev. A. B. Byran, of Fremont,
temporary clerk.
This Tresbytory has for its terri
tory the counties of Nebraska north
of the Platte aud Loup, and east of
a liue startiug west of Nance coun
ty, aud running north through the
state.
The attendance was mostly from
thoso liviug on railroad points, ow
ing to tho loss of bridges, high water
and bad roads.
The evening of Wednesday was
given to the Women's Presbyterial
Missionary Society, and tho ladies
mado their meeting very interesting.
Thursday evening a large congre
gation attended the ordination ser
vices of Mr. Francis S. Blayney.
Rev. W. J. Harsha, of Omaha,
preached tho sermon. Rev. G. L.
Little, Synodical Missionary, made
the ordaining prayer, and Rev. W.
McCandlish, agent of the Bible So
ciety for Nebraska, gave the charge.
Rev. Mr. Blayney will preach to a
church recently organized in North
Omaha.
Reports from the different church
es aB to their prosperity were favor
able, except, that in country parish
es services had been interrupted by
the rough weather of the winter and
the floods of tho spring.
Two churches have been organ
ized recently, a German church in
Omaha, and the one in North Oma
ha already referred to.
The license of Mr. T. H. Tibbies,
of Omaha, was revoked.
The following were chosen Com
missioners to the General Assembly

meetB at Buffalo, N. Y., in May:
Ministers, Rov. W. J. Harsha of
Omaha and Rev. L. R. Wheeler of
Pouca; Elders, Judge Henry C.
Russel of Schuyler and Prof. H. S.
McGinitie of Columbus.
Presbytery adjourned Friday fore
noon, haviug previously passed a
vote of thanks to the Columbus con
gregation and the citizens generally,
for their hospitality and kindness.
J A. Hood, Stated Clerk.
Wanted.
The postmaster at Lindsay, this
county, writes that the Journals
which have been sent to C. M. Eeast
and Pat. Deegan are not called for ;
that East is no longer iu tho county,
etc. These gentlemen will oblige
us by letting us know their present
post-office, that they may receive

A SHpposcd 3Itiruer.
From one of our officials wo learn
the following particulars. About
two weeks ago Johu Kiphus, a Po
landcr living between Platte Center
and Humphrey, was missing. The
last seen of him, he bad passed ou
ahead of threo companions named
Briggs, Serosa and Gotez, all of
whom had been at Platte Center and
were returning home. They said
he, being pretty full of liquor, bad
probably fallen through the bridge
over Elm creek. The officer tells
ub that'two sons of the missing man,
aged 17 aud 22, drove their mother
from the dwelling-house, and them
selves took possession. Certain
other men, who were known not to
have any money before this affair,
had several dollars to spend, which
fact attracted suspicion to them.
Later (Tuesday morning), we hear
that the missing body was fouud
Monday eveuiug in the bed of Elm
creek, and that the actiug coroner
would hold an inquest immediately,
when we suppose the facts will be
adduced.
The sheep shearing festival has
become quite au institution at Bea
trice, and perhaps has done as much
as any one thing of its kiud could to
encourage sheep raising in that sec
tion of tho state. There are there
some very fine flocks of the wealth
produciug animal flocks that show
tho special knowledge of their mas
ters, aud the care and attention bes
towed. To succeed, a man should
have au aflection for, and a pride in
the welfare of, the animal under his
care, as well as give them his close
personal attention. With -a good
start iu stock of any kind in Ne
braska, aud tho care that a man of
ordinary ability gives to auything
he turns strict attention to, thero is
no doubt of success.
t'oiumlNNioHer' Meeting.
In pursuance of the call mado by
tho Clerk on tho 16th day of April,

H. R. R. Co. A $100 bond was pre
sented, securing the expenses of the

agreed to submit the proposition, as
appears elsewhere in to-day's Jour
nal. ..etter L.iMt.
