Last week Judge Geer was thro
Madison, into Pierce county. He
says he spoke to quite a number of
men iu Madison and Norfolk con
cerning the new route connecting
them directly with ColumlTus, and
all expressed themselves as pleased
with" tho prospoci and though the
road would be mutually beneficial
to Columbus and all the towns along
the line. They never could depend
upon making connection with the
main line at Jackson, aud that was
no good place to lay over. Mr. Geer
says that Norfolk is improving rap
idly. Since last May four large
business brick buildings- have been
erected, which are a great credit to
the town. They are really hand
some buildings. There is a rush at
present for residence acre lots on
the hill west of the U. P. depot.
When you talk to a Norfolk citizeu
about the low town - site being
against the growth of the place he
will tell you that Chicago started iu
the same. way.

Where In He?
A week ago Monday, J. G. (Geo.)
Engel left his family, who reside
about five miles and a half northeast
of this city on the brow of tho bluff-,
He is a man fifty years of age, has
been married thirty years, and has a
family of six children, four of them
now at home with their mother, and
all nearly distracted with grief and
anxiety concerning the whereabouts
of the husband and father. There is
uo reason whatever for supposing
that Mr. Engel has committed sui
cide, or has been foully dealt with,
he had no money with him, uot even
a change of clothing. The better
opinion is that he is away some
where at work. If these lines should
meet his eye he may be assured that
his friends at home are exceedingly
anxious for his return.
The Columbus Ferry.
We went down to the Hammond
Ferry Saturday aud found the Cap
tain, Mr. Ames and Frank Owen
busy as nailers. Without auy ex
perience as water crafts-men, these
men have succeeded in establishing
a good ferry, aud deserve the thanks
of this community for the persistent
and undaunted determination with
which they have overcome difficulty
alter difficulty. The boat is not a
largo one, but sufficient to carry a
learn and wagon. Tho machinery
by which the stream itself is made
"to row the boat across the ferry"
consists of two pulleys fixed a set
distance apart, with guy ropes to
each end of the boat; by shortening
or lengthening theso ropes, the
current itself is made to push the
boat across the stream. $1 is char
ged for a round trip, and some days
they have made as many as forty
four trips.

Among the clearest things in
literature aro the paragraphs of Sir
Isaac Newton upon time and space,
the latter being that in which all
things aro contained, tho former, a
measured portion of duration. One
of the grandest triumphs of modern
art is the manufacture of time pieces,
so perfect that they scarcely admit
of "variableness or shadow of turn
ing," when properly cared for.
Modern art has come nearer exact
nature than former calculation did,
and this accuracy is well represented
at the establishment of Heitkemper
& Bro. on 11th street, where you can
obtain time pieces of all kinds,
grades, styles and prices, from the
lady's tiny, handsome watch, to the
tall family clock, that will go again,
long after the old man has died.
They have also the finest stock of
rings, chains, charms, and ladies' and
gentlemen's jewelry of any descrip
tion. It will repay you to call and
see their haudsome store aud beauti
ful goods, even if you don't buy.
One of tho superb things in their
store is a large, haudsome, regulator
with mercury pendulum, the master
piece of the clock-maker's art.

Pursuant to public call, a meeting
was held at the Town Hall Monday
evening, May ICth ; G. W. Clother
was called to the chair and Wm. A.
McAllister made secretary.
The object of the meeting as stated
by David Anderson was to organize
au arrangement for an excursion ou
tho O., N. & B. H. R. R. soon after
the branch road from Columbus to
Lost Creek shall have been com
pleted, when, on motion, the follow
ing committee of arrangements was
appointed by the chair, to confer
with the R. R. Company in regard
to transportation, and make other
needful arrangements: James E.
North, M. K. Turner, D. Anderson,
G. A. Schroeder and E. D. Sheehan.
Also, that a finance committee be
appointed to procure all needful
funds : G. W. Clother, E. Pohl and
S. C. Smith.
Moved that the secretary furnish

with a copy of our proceedings;

James Salmon in a communica
tion calls attention to the offal that
is dumped on the prairie north of
town. The same state of affairs
prevails in other quarters of the
city, and it is very mild to say that
it should cease at once. Pure air,
pure water and sound living are
the three requisites to human wel
fare and prosperity, and, although
our Nebraska atmosphere is of the
purest and, owing' to its constant
agitation like the ocean, least liable
to hold impurities, yet it is doing
violence to require too much of it,
aud that, too, right under our noses.
We know the instance Mr. Salmon
speaks of because we pass through
it twice a day, and are compelled to
breathe of its nastiness. Mr. Sal
mon's residence is close by, and on
a wet, hot day, with an east wjnd,
it must be almost unbearable to his
family. Justice has been defined as
the constant aud perpetual disposi
tion, to. render every man his due;
justice certainly requires every man
to so exercise his rights as notto
interfere with the rights of others,
and certainly no man has a right to
endanger the lives or health of his
fellow-citizens.

Editor Joukxal : Wo sometimes
wouder whether the growing crop
of wheat will realize to the farmers
sufficient money to squaro up for the
immense amount of farm machinery
tbht'has bern bought this spring.
The amount sold by agents thus far
has been large and still the plauters
aud cultivators are going and soon
it will be the different kinds of har
vesting machinery, and three-fourths
of all these costly articles will be
exposed to wind aud weather when
not in use; and tho articles that now
look so nice will have to bo replac
ed, almost before thoy are paid for;
but so it goes, far too largely iu this
part of Nebraska.
Our city appears to have a "boom"
(excuse the word), of some kind.
Side-walks and crossings have been
built; two law funis advertize their
ability to settle all the difficulties,
right or wrong, that sometimes
afflict crabbed and ill-natured hu
manity. Three loau offices say they
can accommodate the needy, aud
two real estate firms tell the land
seeker they have plenty of Nebraska
land, the very best, cheap too, and
in quantities to suit the purchaser.
Wo have a little mud here, and
we would be more thankful if wo
could have a great deal more of it,
and a good deal oftener; thou we
might talk about clover, red-top, 1
blue-grass and timothy, and shorten
a good deal the winter's feeding.
We were pleased to see your com
mendation, in a recent issue, of the
neatness with which J. C. Paxton
words his advertisements,and would
say that J. C. P. is fully as neat and
good a merchant as the judicious
buyer would look for, after readiug
his neatly worded advertisement.
We would also say to your many
readers that our large orchard suf
fered no harm during the past severe
winter; but after a careful examina
tion we find every tree in fine order,
and many of them show a good sup
ply of prospective bloom ; we have
spent a good deal of labor iu the
orchard, and wo confidently expect
full pay in a reasonable time, as
Dame Nature always rewards intel
ligent ellbrt, especially in Pomona's
realm. But, Mr. Turner, our mouth
begins to wafer for the beauties that
we now begiu to watch and wait for.

In spite of the late spring, the
farmers are all in good spirits, the
crops are growing nicely and there
is every prospect of a bountiful
harvest.
In some places the last year's corn
is not all husked, as the early and
hard winter prevented the farmers
from getting into their fields, and
all arn now anxious to get their
seeding done.
Miss Aunio Martin has gone east
to live; she is missed very much,
especially by tho circle of young
folks. She has taught the school in
district IS for the past two terms,
and was liked as a teacher very
much, both by parents and pupils.
We are favored now with church
at Newman's Grove, every two
weeks the TJuifed Brethren, and
every two weeks, Methodi9t. Many
of us have quite a distauce to go, but
nevertheless there is always a good
attendance. We are sorry to say
that some of our young men still
enjoy chewing aud spitting tobacco
during services, which makes it
rather unpleasant for those sitting
near them. I am sure thoy would
not like to be called ungcntlcmanly,
but how can they bo called gen
tlemen ?

An evil of the worst kind exists
on the outskirts of our city, which
sadly needs the attention of the city
fathers. Load after load of manure
is daily dumped within tho space of
one hundred yards of tho city limits,
and, as if that was not eno ugh, insult
is added to injury in the shape of
dead dogs and hogs being left on the
prairie to decay and poison the at
mosphere which we breathe. I
would liko to suggest a remedy,
which could be easily enforced. Let
all persons be subjected to a fine, if
found depositing manure within half
a mile of the city limits. As to the
dead dogs and hogs, a spado and a
little muscular exercise for the space
of ten minutes would effectually
remedy that evil and probably be
the means of preventing sickness.
