From the look of the U. P. train
yesterday morning as it passed
down, it seemed as though Nebras
ka had turnned loose to go to the
State Fair.
The sale of property belonging

vised. In the list are some valuable
tracts aud town lots.

Mrs. Page, with her pupils, as
sisted by the Mreunerchor, gave a

ment last Saturday evening at the

preciative audience.
There was a report current
Monday morning that the U. P. had
reduced the fare from this point to
Omaha and back, to $1.00 during the
fair, instead of $2.75. but there was
no truth in the report.
Those who care to be posted on
the cause and possible extent of the

which has made its appearance near
Lincoln, will find an interesting ar
ticle in the Omaha lice of the Sth.

They will reach froir. the Oehlrich
crossing to within ten feet of Speice
and North's office.
J. E. Moncrief took a now top
buggy home with him Saturday
night. A good man deserves to

when he is exposed so much as Ed.
will be in visitiug the Platte county
schools this winter.
Five of Chas. Diedrirk's paint
ings arc on exhibition at the State
Fair three portraits and two land
scapes. If Chas. progresses for a
few years to come at the same speed
he has for the past year, he will

The only motive that should
actuate newspaper rivals is emula
tion, "a desire of superiority, with
an cllbrt to attain it" "an attempt
to equal or excel others in that
which is praiseworthy, without the
desire of depressing others."
Charles Morse showed us a sam
ple of corn one day last week taken

Fancy needle work is taught to
tho girls at tho Catholic Fchool, aud
we are requested to state that there
is no need for parents to send their
children away to school, while such
a one as this is in our midst. The
Sisters are very faithful aad attentive
to duty.
Robert TJhlig and wife, and
Arnold Oehlrich returned from Eu
rope last week, all in good health
and spirits. Besides other things
brought with him, Robert has two
very ancient silver coins that would
be of considerable value to anti
quarians. Jacob Gregorius returned Friday
morning from Laramie, where he
has been sojourning. He goes back
and will be accompanied by his fam
ily. He purposes to retain his
pecuniary interest in Columbus,
however, and after a few years of
western life, to return.
Everything goes to show that
the State Fair at Omaha will be a
grand success, and the be6t ever
held in Nebraska. Certainly prep
arations have been ample, aud the
inducements held out by the railroad
companies in the way of cheap trav
el are not to be overlooked.
The Fremont Herald says that
the following telegram of enquiry
was received there last Tuesday:
"Has a tall woman, freckled face,
with baby and little girl, arrived
here within the last ten days?" We
saw a woman get off the cars at this
depot the other day, that would at
least partially fill that description.
E. B. Hall, Esq., was in the city
Monday. He tells us that the Mon
roe Congregational Church is nearly
finished. It is expected that the
dedication will take place during
the last week of Sept. The structure
is a good one costing $1300. The
cemetery will be enclosed soon.
The good citizens of that commun
ity deserve commendation for their
enterprise in those matters.
The Schuyler Herald will be
Democratic under the proprietorship
of Messrs. Zentmeyer & Ilolcomb,
the former of whom is the editor.
Mr. Z. has had experience as an
editor, and we have no doubt will
be as liberal-minded, generous and
good as a Democratic editor can
well be in a Republican state like
Nebraska.
Hon. G. W. Brown of Boone
county, and Wm. Brown, his father,
started from here yesterday morning
for Omaha, where George will take
in the State Fair. His father lias
been visitiug with him for some
months past, and thinkB very highly
of Nebraska soil and climate. He
return to his home in Harrison
county, Ohio.
The next month on the farms of
Nebraska should be the most active
and busy of all the year. If winter
comes upon us like it did a year ago,
there will not be a moment to loose
from finishing the haying, threshing,
putting up snug shelters for stock,
husking corn and fall plowiug, all,
some or either, just as may be the
necessities of each particular farm.
C. C. Berringer and wife of
Elgin, 111., arrived in the city Friday.
While his family visit here with
friends (Charles Wake's family), C.
C. goes to Colorado. He has been
at work ou watches at Elgin for
several years past, and has a situa
tion offered at Trinidad, where his
work will not be so confining. We
wish him health, wealth and long
lite.
The Journal job-room is in
debted to its old frieud Jas. Sandi
land (tamiliarly known as "Sandy")
for one of tho longest, neatest and
best job sticks, ever flourished by a
printer-arlist. This indespensible
piece of furniture is full cvideuce of
"Sandy's" ability as a joiner, his
knowledge as a printer, and his
good-will as a friend to " yc "Jour
nal shop. Many thanks.
We have received the premium
list of the seventh nuuual fair of the
Butler county Agricultural Society,
to be held at David City Sop. 21st
'2 '3. A good list of premiums are
offered. Among what might be
classed as the unusual things is for
fastest walking team, load to cor
respond to size of team ; $3 first
premium, $1.50 second. The pre.
niiums for speed will be published
separately.
On Sept. 12 13 14 15 and 10 the

Dr. Chase's Recipe Book should
he iu every household in the rouu
try, as it is replete with practical
information on every subject which
may arise in the house, ou the farm,
in the workshop, and the office. It
must meet with a ready sale. See
the advertisement iu another column
of our paper. Wo predict that who
ever is fortunate enough to secure
an agencv in this section for this
wonderful book, will surely make
money.
D. Anderson has returned from
Wisconsin with a hundred head of
yearlings and thirty calves. He says
that all along the road through cen
tral and northern Iowa and Illinois
and the larger part of Wisconsin the
corn crop is an average, and he don't
sec the reason for the huo and cry
about high prices for corn here. It
seems to be an almost universal be
lief among Nebraska farmers that
there is to be a big price for corn.
For one, we hope they may get it.
Rev. Mr. Bristol, pastor of the
M. E. church iu Columbus, had the
misfortune to lose a valuable horse
at Gcrmantowu last Thursday. He
and his wife had been visiting
friends in southeastern Nebraska,
and returning the horse was taken
sick at Woodlawn, dropped down in
the harness at Gcrmantowu, and
died in about fifteen minutes. Mr.
Bristol thinks the death was caused
by green corn, which had been giv
en it contrary to his orders. Seto

A five-inch snow last week at
Deadwood is indication that Winter
is lingering at no great distance
from us. No telling how soon your
haying may cease and your cattle
need shelter, and yet again, if we
have an open winter, it will be no
surprise to a good many Nebras
kaus. The Journal has found that
tho most reliable weather prophets
are thoso who tell about it after
wards, and the surest way to man
age is to be prepared for the aver
age worst.
At the last regular meeting of
the board of education the follow
ing resolution was adopted: lie
solved, That parents living east of
the following line, send their chil
dren to the brick school house in old
district number one and all west, to
old district number thirteen, unless
otherwise ordered by tho board :
Commencing on the north end of L
street, running south to the main
line of the U. P. R. R. ; thence weBt
to North street; thence south to
Ninth street; thence west to Olive
street; theucc south to the Loup
river. Also, that a tuition fee of
two dollars per mouth be charged
on-resident pupils.
J. C. Elliott's team ran off one
day last week, while the pump boys
were going over to the Island to put
up a wind-mill. They were using a
farmer's wagon, their own having
been seut forward with tho wind
mill. Some part of the wagon gave
way, scariug the horses, who took
a short run forward, turned rouud
and came back to the men who
caught them. No damage done,
and the only good the Journal gets
out of the item is a warning to all
to keep their vehicles in good repair.
Wm. Rowles, son of Thos. C,
an old-time Ohio friend of the
Journal proprietors, was in the
city last week on business connected
with the Norris estate. We learn
from William that his father has
purchased a farm near Topeka, Kb.,
and that he likes the western coun
try ; also that Barclay, an elder
brother, is a successful farmer near
Topeka, doing all his own work,
and receiving his reward therefor in
physical health and strength, also
some wealth, and considerable hap
piness. An accident occurred on the U.
P. Tuesday morning west of us, the
full particulars of which we have
uot been able to gather. A cattle
train was partially ditched, the en
gine lying upside down and six or
eight cars thrown from the track,
killing the cattle therein besides one
of the brakemeu on the train. It is
a surmise among the rumors that
discharged workmen had taken a
hand car aud placed it on the track
for the purpose of wrecking a train.
Punishment could scarcely be too
severo for a deed so cowardly and
ciuel.
Work ou the fair grounds is
progressing rapidly. The posts are
set for the- enclosure and the fence
boards are being put on. Wo have
uot been on the grounds, but are as
sured that they are secoud to none
in Nebraska outside of Omaha. The
Floral Hall is especially spoken of
as superior. Nothing is being
spared to make the fair a complete
success. As to the races, it is ex
pected that there will be a number
of good horses present, and in
quiries have been received by the
Sec'y from a number of meu abroad
as to premiums, prospects, etc.
"It is a waste of time aud words
to talk about who will succeed
Judge Maxwell in the supreme court.
He will succeed himself and he
ought to. He has labored faithfully
and brought forth good works. He
has steadily risen to a position where
ho commands the respect aud confi
dence alike of litigants and attorneys.
His re-election is duo to him and to
the people of this state whom he has
served for the last nine years. Vast
interests public aud private are con
cerned iu the make up of the su
preme court, aud just as little exper
imenting as possible should be
practiced in electiug its members."
Schuyler N'ews.
F. J. Brown, Eq , of the firm of
Brown & Hippach of Fullerton, was
in tho city yesterday on business.
He finds it very convenient to come
down in the morning, do almost a
day's work in trading and return
home the same evening. Mr. Brown
tells us that their first term of Dis
trict Court lasted about three hours.
Fullerton ie proud, as she has good
reason to be of the new university
there under the management of Rev.
Fleharty. It is always a credit to a
community that she favors intellec
tual benefits and educational insti
tutions, and we are glad to know
that the town of Fullerton appre
ciates the value of the one recently
located there.
We learn that W. A. Davis,
formerly of this county, now of
Nance, is a candidate for nomination
for Sheriff of that county before the
Republican convention. At the
election two years ago he received
220 out of the 290 votes cast, but in
some shape, in the county-seat con
test was, we believe, counted out.
Without undertaking to say what
was right or wrong iu that matter
(for we are not fully advised in the
premises) we beg leave to say that
our old friend Davis is a straight,
staunch Republican, an intelligent,
wide-awake man, and one who,
while he would do his whole duty,
iu any case, as a sheriff, would yet
have a heart to feel for those unfor
tunates whose property might have
to be sold under his hammer, aud
he would do the best possible for
their interests.
E. M. Squire of Madison coun
ty is talked of as a candidate for the
office of County School Sup't.
Where there can be no reason for
misconstruing our motive, we beg
leave of the good people of Madison
county who may read these lines, to
say a word in favor of an old friend.
Mr. Squire has been for the greater
part of bis life actively engaged in
educational work, and makes it a
point to keep fully up with the times
in the best methods of receiving and
imparting instruction, not adhering
to the old because it is old, neither
accepting the new, simply because
it is new. Mr. Squire was Sup't in
Madison county for two years, and,
so far as we know, gave universal
satisfaction not only as to the
quantity and the quality of his
work but also as to the cost of the
eame to the public whom he served.
Platte County Fair.
Bear in mind that the Platte
County Fair wilTbe held Oct. 4th
7th, during the time when the wea
ther, as a rule, is so delightfully
pleasaut in Nebraska.
Make arrangi inents to bring your
family, at least a portion of the time.
The good wife, your helpmeet,needs
to see the hosts of articles exhibited
at a fair, the fruits, the flowers, the
vegetables,' the needle work, and the
ten thousauds things of use and
beauty which attract the attention
of the ladies.
The children need a time of re
creation and sight-seeing and the
"old man," too, needs to have his
ideas shaken up a little, his social
qualities given an opportunity for
exercise, and his opinions exchanged
with bis fellow-farmers on matters
of great, value to him. Even iu a
pecuniaiy way it pays the farmer to
attend the fair. It tends to heigh
ten his ambition , to strengthen his
pride in and his love for his calling;
to increase bis knowledge of the
soil, the grains, the vegetables, the
profitable farm products of all kinds
including the domesticated animals
and fowls that bring gold to the
farmer's purse, which iu its turn
builds the house and furnishes it,
sends the children to school, buys
books and musical instruments and
in all ways (judiciously managed)
assists in running the machinery of
our life on this lively old planet of
ours, and makes existence more than
a duty, makes it an intellectual ex
ercise aud a delight.

It will be perceived that the month
just past has been considerably dry

and by a refereuce to my notes I
find that the amount of rainfall is
less than for August of the past six
years, the nearest approach to it
being in 1878-0 70 in.; yet the
crops have uot suffered to the extent
that might have been expected.
For September Winds blowing
from east to south or intermediate

rain, while winds blowing from
southwest to northwest or interme
diate points are likely to be follow
ed by fair weather.
ScTcntli Day AdventiMt.
As this sect will hold their annual
State camp meeting at Columbus
next week, the following brief sketch
of their faith and history, written by
one of their number may prove in
teresting to the readers of the
Journal.
As their name indicates, they be
lieve in the second coming of Christ
and that we may know when it is
near, (Matt. 24:33 and 1st Thes.,
5:4) but do not pretend to set the
time, as some others have done.
They observe the 7th day of the
week as the Sabbath, and this prac
tice marks them as a peculiar people
and separates them not only from
the world, but from the 1st day
churches. They teach that Christ is
a Divine Being and existed with the
Father before the creation of the
world and that his is "the only name
given under Heaven or among men
whereby any can be saved." They
hold that the dead are unconscious,
and that all the wicked will finally
be destroyed. In support of these
positions they adduce such texts as
Eccl. 9 : 5, 6. Mai., 4 : 1, and a num
ber of others in, both the old and the
new testaments.
Their history dates from about
1846, since which time they have
slowly but steadily increased in
numbers and influence. About 30
years ago, Elder James White com
menced the publication of the Ad
vent Jtevieio and Sabbath Jlerald,
paying for the first two or three
editious with money which he earn
ed by chopping cord wood at fifty
cents per day ; in a short time a pub
lication association was formed with
Elder White as President, and the
work has grown till now twelve
power presses are employed in this
country, and two Jn Europe. They
now publish three papers iu English
aud four in other languages, besides
millions of pages of tracts and books.
Through their tract societies and
missionary workers these publica
tions are seut to every part of the
world. They have organized con
ferences in nearly all the states and
several of the territories. The Ne
braska conference was organized
three years ago, and comprizes twenty-six
organized churches and sever
al new and unorgauized companies.
Their camp meetiugs are said to
be quiet and orderly, and the preach
ing for the most part plain and prac
tical. Their meetings at this place
will commence Sept. 21st and con
tinue to the 27th.

IN MKJ OKY OK MRS. SUSAN T. TRICE.
Wo shall mi'-i thee, dearest mother,
For we've laid thee in the dust;
When we see our loved ones dying
Oh! how hard to think it just.
As we watched thee calmly resting
"When the monster. Death, came by,
Then.it (seemed our. hearts wercdireak-
'Twas so hard to let thee die.
Thou art gone from care and sorrow
To the realms ofendless day;
As in silence we are mourning
Still our dear one seems to say,
"Husband, children, friends and others,
Do not grieve nor shed a teiir,
For with Jesus, blessed Saviour,
I am far more happy here.
Cease thy weeping and thy sorrow,
Do not think of me as dead,
For I'm gone to'IIim in heaven
Care and pain forever lied.
Tho' the grave seem dark and dreary,
'Tis but there my body rests,
For my spirit lives with" .Jesus,
AVI tli the ransomed ones aud blest."
Oh! how happy when we're thinking
Of the friends who've iconc before.
As we down life's stream are tloating,
They will meet us on the shore.
Oh! how joyous then the greeting
In that world of blls-, and love;
Cease thy sorrow and thy grfeving
For we all shall meet above.
Mother, dear and precious mother,
Thou art ifone trom all beneath,
Itut we know the time is coming
AVhen w, too, shall cease to breathe.
Then, Oh, then, the happy greeting
AVaiU u on the other shore,
Where we'll walk and talk with Jesus
Ever, and forever more. 20-w-l
