The Omaha Bee's illustrated
supplement this year shows hard
labor to produce such a neat and
praiseworthy production. We hope
the editor will in due time receive
his reward from somewhere.

into business there, and will be
found by the general public to be an
accommodating and fair-minded
man.
The Omaha Bee reports a pro
fessional detective as saying that
there is abundance of proof to show
that the "taking off" of Watson B.
Smith was "a brutal and diabolical
murder."
As a matter of course the Jour
nal follows after old Columbus cit
izens who retain a prospective inter
est in the city. J. Gregorius, now
of Laramie, Wy., is among the lat
est on the list.
L. Stracke was fiued before the
Police Court, Thursday last, $1 and
costs, for allowing gambling in the
Central Honse. The testimony
showed that the party were playing
cards for the cigars.
One of our Columbus citizens
is advertised in the Madison Chron
icle as an absconding debtor, so to
speak, of that paper. On the con
trary, the Journal believes him to
be a very honest man.
David Anderson'' is busily en

They have located six miles from
Pawnee City. We wish the Captain
and his family a good and prosper

The Journal is indebted to its
old friend J. W. Martin for a copy
of the Black Hills Pioneer, New
Year edition Bixteen pages. It
gives an insight into affairs at and
near Deadwood, which can be ob
tained In no other way.
Joseph Schnltz committed sui
cide the other -day at Schuyler,
shooting himself. He seemed to be
somewhat "out of his head." Ho
was found "dead iu his fruit store,
two or three days, it is supposed,
after the fatal deed was committed.
The Fremont Tribune publishes,
with approving remarks, one of the
articles on creameries, now appear
ing in the Journal over the signa
ture, "A. H." We recommend their
preservation by those who may pos
sibly become pecuniarily interested
in the subject.
We have heretofore neglected to
notice the Omaha Bee's aunual re
view, a nicely illustrated number,
clearly and beautifully setting forth
the growing city of Omaha, as she
wil.l appear in the history of 1881.
The enterprise of the Bee is certain
ly commendable.
There are many places iu this
and other counties of Nebraska
where fish-culture could be carried
on very profitably by those who will
make a study of it. Fish are so
prolific, that the business of raising
them is taking a promiueut place in
the thoughts of speculative farmers.
On Thursday last John Godfrey
and Charles Hudson had a narrow
escape from severe injury. Their
ice-team ran away, scaring at a dog,
and throwing them ont of the wag
on. John had his face mashed con
siderably, and both were hurt in the
back. They are out again, and hope
to get along all right.
J. G. Routbon haB asked the City
Council for $1200 as damages to his
property by reason of the Council-)
granting right of way on 12th street,
to the O. N. & B. H. road. The L.
& N. W. ordinance for right of way
purposes contaiued a proviso that
the Company should be responsible
for ali damages resulting to property.
At the annual meeting of the
Genoa Cemetery Association of
Plattu county, held Jan. 14th, 1882,
the following were elected officers
for the ensuing year : Jonas Head
man, Prest., Geo. S. Truman, Sec'y.,
Joseph WebBter, Treas. Additional
trustees, Nils Miller, Frederick Pe
terson. L. Anderson and William
B. Coffin.
We are informed that our friend
Frank Gillette is engaged somewhat
in the missionary business, having
undertaken the task of reforming the
I-civil service of the city in other
words that he accuses the chief of
-police Carl Brandt with receiving
hush money, or words to that effect.
It is to be Been what progress Frank
will make in his missionary cause.
Jaa. Bell, Et.q., of David City
was in town on business Friday last.
He looks the same genial gentlemau
that we met eleven years ago, and
seems by his looks not a day older.
During all these years, however, he
has been busy and thriving, up and
doing. If all young Irishmen
wonld settle the problem of life as
be has done, there would be no room
for murmur.
Our neighboring towns are
taking the necessary steps to prevent
the spread of the small-pox among
their citizens. Will it be that the
authorities of the city of Columbus
will slumber en until an actual case
of the disease appears ? We recom
mend to every family the precaution
any way, to see to it that all mem
bers of their families who have not
been, be at once vaccinated.
Many thought we were to have
a blizzard Sunday night, and were
agreeably disappointed Monday
morning. The Journal is probably
correct in believing that Nebraska
has seen her last blizzard, based on
the fact that, they require a dry
atmosphere with snow as fine as
flour. With our increasing moisture
it would seem that very fine snow is
an impossibility.
It is a good thing to insure any
thing destructible by fire. Now
here was an accident happening io
some of George Henggler's clothing
that might easily happen to anyone,
viz, get too near the fire, or the fire
get too hot, and so a catastrophe. In
this caee, fortunately nothing but
clothing was burned, and now Gus.
G. Becher & Co., the "boss" insur
ance men, step right up and settle
the little damage, $50 or so, with
which the clothing can be replaced.
Insure everything. 1
Wednesday night last H.TJaap
pelbaum claims he was robbed of a
pocket-book containing about $05 in
money and a certificate of deposit
on a Lincoln bank for $3,485 ; that
the same were taken from under his
pillow, while sleeping at the Central
House, kept by L. Stracke. He had
George Clark and Maud Clark ar
rested on suspicion, aud the premi
ses being searched, all was found
except the money At a preliminary
hearing before Police Judge G. G.
Bowman, they were held to answer
at the next terra of the District
Court in a bond of $150.
Hon. J. E. North, the president
of Platte county's Agricultural So
ciety, goes to Lincoln this week, to
attend the meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture, of which be is
a member. We notice by our ex
changes that there will probably be
a lively contest for the secretaryship
of the Board, ex-governor Furnas,
D. II. Wheeler, and Charles Walker
being candidates. We think that
Platte county's choice would be D.
H. Wheeler, as he is very favorably
known to many of our citizens. In
all the long years of his service, as
secretary there is nothing spoken
against him that we remember. ex
cept the threshing-machine chromo,
and how little he had to do with that
is not generally known. We second
Dan's election.
As will be seen in another place,
our young friend, J. B. Delsman,
has become the sole owner of the
goods aud good-will of the late firm
of Delsman & Co. J. B. has flour
ished here admirably in bis business,
since be set foot upon our soil years
ago, aud by liberal and upright
dealing has not only built up a large
and increasing trade, but accumulat
ed also hosts of friends. Both of
these things are indispensable to the
business man, to assure his success.
It will be seen by his notice else
where that Mr. Delsman returns his
hearty thanks to customers for their
past favors, and hopes to deserve a
coutinuHnce of the same by well,
in short, selling them the beat of
goods at the lowest possible prices
good goods cheap. 1
It is said that some of the gen
erals of olden time, notably Cyrus
and Cai3ar, we believe, knew all
their soldiers, and could call them
by name, and that it was customary
with the shepherds of old to call the
individual members of their flocks
by their names, but such cases of
memory are not justifiable in these
days, and the faculty should not be
put to tasks of this sort. We are
moved to these remarks by the fact
that one of our subscribers wrote
us recently to change his address,
without giving the name of the post
office to which his Journal had
been going. We don't write the
names every week as we used to do,
and so when you want your address
changed, send us the old one, as well
as the new. V
The Great West, published at
Denver, greatly to our surprise, ap
pears on our table again. We were
glad to greet its familiar face, as we
bad been induced to believe that its
editor was financially dead, and the
Great West had gone down with
him. No such things bad happened.
Pouieroy is two bricks. He had Bold
an interest, and was then sick six
weeks, got up from his sick bed,
bought back the interest, and now
appears again The Great West full
of life and vigor, no symptoms of
disease or death about It. His arti
cle "Saturday Night," is alone worth
the subscription price of the Great
West. For his indomitable industry
we always admired Pomeroy, how
ever much we have differed with him
in political matters. Long may he
live and flourish. The Great West
will always be a welcome visitor at
this office.
An effort will be made to secure
the next annual reunion of the G. A.
R. at this place. Not less than eight
thousand persons is estimated as the
average attendance at Lincoln last
year. The number has increased
every year since the first reunion,
set on foot by Capt. John Hammond
of this place, and held at Warren's
Grove, Butler county. We don't
know how much of a contribution
it will take to secure the next re
union for Columbus, but we do
know that those having charge of
the matter will not be able to find in
the state a better place, in every res
pect, as to the conveniences and
comforts of camp, as well as access
by railroad or other conveyance. A
delegation from Baker Post ought to
go next week fully armed and equip
ped with the needful guaranties to
secure the next reunion.
The dry -goods peddlers are
abroad iu the land. We don't know
what particular scheme they have on
baud this time, but several years
ago, numbers of our citizens were
"taken in" badly by some of these
gentry. The better way is to buy
what goods you want of the regular
dealers, those who are here to stay
and listen to your after grievances,
if you have any. Under no circum
stances should you sign any paper
for these traveling chaps.
Chas. Reinke has left with us
what appears to be the heart of the
horn of a buffalo, taken out of a
well recently dug on his farm in the
Shell veekvalley, at V depth of
twenty-six (feet from Sthe surface.
Mr. Reinke tells us that on"the farm
of his neighbor, Mr. Swarz, nearly
the entire skeleton of a buffalo, was
found at about the same depth. Not
far from these farms,on Franz Heng
gler's place, several years ago, were
found the remains of a mastodon,- a
huge land animal, allied to the ele
phant, but now an extinct species
altogether, and these remains were
taken out at a depth of six feet only
from the surface. We know of sev
eral instances in this and Colfax
county of bits of trees being taken
out at a depth of twenty-five feet.
Will some scientific brother step
forward and give us a theory of the
formation of the soil under us?
M. Hollerin has some good ideas
on raising stock. Provide them
warm shelter, and keep them in
good condition all the time, so that
if extra bad weather comes, or you
wish, at any time, to sell, you will be
ready. If cattle are poor and have
no shelter or insufficient shelter, a
heavy percentage is sure to be lost
by death during stormy weather,
and these losses in Platte county
have been sufficiently numerous to
pay for the erection of brick barns,
roofed with Blate, at moderate pri
ces, and the farmers here are no
more careless than elsewhere. It
must never be forgotten by those
whose interests are mainly bound
up with the weather, that, although
Nebraska has more fine days in the
year than probably any other coun
try, yet those other few days are
sometimes b-a-d, and, when protect
ingagainst the weather, cannot safely
be counted out. For losses in the
storm of the middle of April 73,
and in the long series of deep snows
of last winter, there is more than
ordinary excuse, but if all of us who
are on farms would resolve not to
own any living creature that cannot
be properly housed and cared for,
our farms would bo all the more
profitable.
A Cincinnati firm has plastered
the newspapers of the country with
large advertisements of what they
claim to be a most wonderfnl com
pound for the preservation of any
thing and everything of a perishable
nature. Tho credulous might easily
have been led to bulievo that the
philosopher's stone bad been found,
the elixir of the gods, or the spring
of perennial youth, from the won
derful properties set forth, of this
wonderful compound. If one-tenth
of what has been claimed for it was
true, this proprietary save-all would
soon be in universal demand, and
command a fabulous price. Num
bers of enterprising people, no
doubt, have invested some money in
this marvellous stuff, but it is pretty
safe to say that, if great hopes have
been built upon it, they will be
dashed. We hear of one of our cit
izens who invested a small sum,
thinking that, possibly, there might
be a degree of truth in the wonder
ful claims put forth. He tells us,
however, that it is "no good," having
tried it on eggs, potatoes, corn cobs,
etc., and gives the result of his ex
perience for the benefit of that por
tion of this general public who have
not yet invested in this latest Yan
kee notion.
Why?
Mr. Editor : As one of the tax
payers, who, when all is said, have
to pay the bills for prosecuting
criminals, keeping up the courts,
the prisons, &c, I want to know
how long it will take to stop gamb
ling In our midst if Police Judge,
G. G. Bowman, fines those brought
before him aud convicted of that
crime $1 50 apiece, and costs, aud for
allowing gambling in a hotel $l,and
costs? This will not pay axle
grease for running the machinery
while engaged in imposing the fines.
If there is any good reason for bo
small a fine I am sure there are more
in the commnnity than myself who
would like to know what it is. If
crime has a private 'excuse for its
existence, the administration of jus
tice should haye a public justifica
tion. Expense.
If "Expense" or any other man
will, attend the trials, and place him
self in the position of the Judge, so
to speak, he will probably find out
how it is himself. It is no easy
thing for a magistrate to make testi
mony. We are assured that in the
cases referred to, there was testi
mony to show that in one instance
they were playing for the drinks,
and in the other for the cigars, a
time-honored custom in this coun
try. Now, while a great many per
sons labor under the belief that this
sort of play is not gambling, our
Police Judge, as a lawyer, believes
that it is, and consequently fined
the accused. The Journa thinks it
is safe to say that a case of gambling
for money stakes made out would
secure a fine commensurate with the
crime.

Dr. B. J. Kendall & Co., Gents : I
have a very fine mare that has had a
bone spavin for a long time. I tried
every thing man could devise to cure
it, but all in vain, and was about to

mended Kendall's Spavin Cure,
which I tried with grand results,

The Hereford.
"Facts aro stubborn things," says
A. H. and I am not disposed to dis
pute this but to add to their signifi
cance; the writer has a cow, a half
blood Hereford, that will go dry in
four months from calviug, if the calf
is taken off and the mother brought
to the pail, while on the other hand
if the calf Is allowed to run with hor
(and the past season she nursed two
calves and good ones at that), she
will continue in profit for more than
nine months. It may be said that
this is an exceptional case, but I am
informed that this is not unusual
with Hcrefords. If the object of
farmers is milk, then I would en
courage the breeding of deep milkerB
as well as those which shall continue
long iu profit, and both these points
can be attained by a proper study of
Gueuon's system of milk mirrors,

JPlalc Eye.
Pink Eye is an old disease under
a new name, being identical in its
character and symptoms with that of
Influenza, and of these it assumes a
great variety, prominent among
them, an indisposition to eat or to
move about, the head droops as
though too heavy, the eyes become
surcharged with blood which has
probably given the' name to the dis
ease, and one or both the bind legs
become swollen, and there is running
at the eyes. The following dose
should be administered early, as it
helps to clear out the digestive cavi
ity of all morbid material : Sulphur,
five drachms, Cream of Tartar, two
drachms, Salt one oz. ; mix with
flax seed tea for drench. As most
persons have not the means of
weighing out these proportions I
would state that a teaspoon level full
is near enough to a drachm for all
common purposes, and as 6alt has a
good effect on this disease, the pa
tient should be allowed all be will
eat. The best drink for the patient
is flax seed tea, with cream of tartar,
a teaspoon full to a quart of the for
mer, though occasional drinkB of
water with the chill taken off, a quart
or two at a time, will not be objec
tionable. If the kidneys should be
affected, oue ounce of spirits of nitre,
diluted with water, will be benefi
cial. The disease will generally run
its course in 4 or 5 days, and the
patient duriug this time should be
kept in a comfortable stable and out
of any drafts; when the appetite
begius to return, soft feed is consid
ered preferable, and a little ginger,
and gentian mixed with it, will help
to give tone to the stomach. The
foregoing brief notes have been
taken from tho prescriptions of a
noted veterinary, and I have tested
them successfully with my own
stock. T.
The Creamery Hew te get the
Pr offbeat f It ?
There can be no doubt, Mr. Editor,
that even those farmers who will
not, or cannot contract to let the
Creamery Co. have milk or cream
that even those will be benefited by
it. It is a sure fact that more cows
will be milked within the radius
of the Creamery than ever before;
hence, more calves will be raised
(milking cows can be bred oftener
than nursing ones), that is one thing
of general benefit.
The second and more important
one is that the Creamery is going to
raise the price of butter. How can
that be possible ? someone may ask,
it will produce a greater supply
but not a greater demand? Yes, it
will produce both. Its product will
seek a market elsewhere, and it will
find it, because creamery butter com
mands the highest price anywhere.
Shipping all its produce to distant
places, it gives the small producer a
chance for a good home market.
The writer of this saw at once,
when this project was entered upon,
what good there was to como from
it for the surrounding country, and
how the enterprising men composing
the Company doservo the good will
aud hearty co-operation of the com
munity, and they need that. They
want, wo understand, at once, the
milk or cream of 300 or 400 cows,
for which they will pay such a price
and furnish such facilities for raising
cream and for collecting it that
every intelligent man and woman
will see, they "mean business," and
they intend to "live and let live."
Farmers in different neighbor
hoods, therefore, should take steps
immediately to find out how many
cows they could contract for, so as
to make it pay for the Company to
send a cream collector around in
such regions. Lot the people meet
and discuss the matter among them
selves, pro and con. This is an en
terprise which need not fear the
light, on the contrary the more it is
discussed the better it is for ail con
cerned. If the writer of this is correctly
informed, the process of raising
cream by means of the milk cans
which the Company will furnish, ex
ceeds anything else in this line, i. e.,
it will raise better and more cream
by far, than the old method. Add
to this the fact that they will pay as
much for the amount of cream re
quired for a pound of butter as we
could not often get for that article
itself, and all that without troubling
our overburdened farmer wives with
collecting cream and churning but
ter, and it would seem to the writer
that every farmer who can make it
possible, should join the army of
cream-furnishers. A. H.
