Boys who are inclined to be fast
might learn several valuable lessons
from the career of the young men

Messrs. Speice & North have
sold lands recently to the following
named new settlers: Joseph and
Henry Schotkoski, Geo. Sinmowitz,
.foe. Mikierr, John Wolf, Jos. Leffe!
holz and Jakos Egger.
Men working in their ebirt
sleeves, at least that was the case last
week and Monday of this week. We
never think we are safe in making
an item concerning the weather
without noting the day.
At the sale of Mr. Ed. Haiz, near
Duncan, on Monday last, goods
brought a good price. John Huber,
the auctioueer, tells us that cows
brought all the way from $24 to $51,
borsos as much as $150, calves $18,
sheep $5.25.
"Sandy" was in town yesterday.
He says that a prairie fire Monday
threatened the destruction of Albion,
when all hands turned out to the
rescue, and 6aved the place. Not
withstanding, a great deal of hay
was burned.
We furnish the American Agri
culturist (in English or German), the
best farmers' monthly in the world,
together with the Columbus Jour
nal, one year, to any-address in the
United States or British Possessions,
for $3, cash in advance. The price
of the Agriculturist alone is $1.50.
Mr. Vining of the U. P. will
likely be "created" Traffic Manager,
embracing passenger as well as
freight departments, but without

Ed. Williams, formerly of this
county, writes from near Peters
burg, Ya., under date of Jan. 24 h,
that he is plowing for corn, peanuts
and cotton. He don't like negroes
for work, and wants his friend Bob.
Pinson, to send him a good Nebraska
workman.
The hay-press of Wilson, Bur
dick & Co. was put into operation in
the north part of the city on Mon
day. We are informed that they pay
$2.50 a ton for bright bay, and that
they realize for it 5.50 on the cars,
certainly, not much of a profit tor
their work.
Among rocent sales to new
settlers, made by S. C. Smith, are
the farm of Patrick HayB to Julia
A. Fredrick of 111. ; land in sec. 21,
town 19, 2 west to Thos. E. Evans
of la. ; in the same section, to Wm.
E. Jones of la. ; W, 8 WH, S. 25,

Chap. E. Morse raised on 140
acres, an average of 5C bushels oi
corn to the acre. Thirty acres of it
was planted on the 1st day of June,
owing to wet ground, and on thirty
more the stand was poor, owing to
defective seed ; fifteen acres averaged
eighty-three bushels to the acre.
A communication, too late for
this issue, calls attention to the law
iu regard to setting out prairie fires.
It will appear next week. In the
meantime it wilt be well for every
body to remember that it is against
the law to set out a fire without
complying with certain formalities.
A prarie fire northwest of the
city Monday night threatened de
struction to the greater portion of
the hay yet in the valley in that di
rection. Fortunately there were men
enough who worked dilligently,and
succeeded in stopping it at one of
the roads running north and 60Uth.
The Maennerchor give one of
their delightful musical entertain
ments uezt Saturday evening. This
society has done a great deal to ad
vance the art of music in Columbus,
and should be handsomely patroniz
ed on general principles, as well as
because they give the best of musical
entertainments.
O. H. Archer of the Journal
force, who has been for a long time
severely afflicted with rheumatism,
left for his home in Seward county,
Friday morning. His many friends
here will be pleased to hear of his
speedy recovery. The last few days
be wa9 here, he was compelled to
use a pair of caues.
JameB Kay and family are ex
pecting to spend several months
daring the summer at their old home
in England. The kind of weather
we have been enjdying in Nebraska
this winter will probably present
such a contrast with the fogs of Eng
land that James will fain cut his visit
shorter than he otherwise would.
Our little paragraph in regard
to seed wheat appears to be getting
in its work. Wc uotice several of
onr exchanges have called attention
to the same facts, and now the
Board of Trade of Omaha are in
teresting themselves in a very effect
ive and business-like way to secure
good seed wheat for Nebraska the
coming season.
John Wimberly informs us that
he raised last year, from seven acres
of land, 190'.j bushels of wheat an
average of twenty-eight bushels per
acre. The seed was of the kind
kuown as Blue Imperial wheat, the
same as sown by Joseph Palmer last
year, which yielded that gentleman
about twenty-five bushels per acre.
Farmers might do well to give this
wheat a trial. Ulysses Dispatch.'
Cox & Butterfield's genuine
negro minstrel troupe give au enter
tainment at the Opera House to
night. They are not galvanized
negroes, but will give the genuine
plantation songs, danceB, &c. Of
course they will have a full house.
There is something peculiarly touch
ing about the old slave songs that
uever fails to reach the heart of the
most stolid listener. Hear them.
We are informed that on Mon
day evening last, one of the aesthetic
cow-boys who greatly infest the
frontier towns west and northwest
of us, appeared in our streets, on the
traditional pony, clad in the tradi
tional buckskin, and wearing the
regulation, broad-brimmed, white
felt hat, and, seeing a nice, little,
innocent white dog, he pulled the
traditional revolver from his belt
and began firing upon him, missing
one of our respected citizens a few
inches only with one of the several
bullets discharged. This relic of
barbarism ought to be abated.
Owing to the open weather of the
winter, many are prognosticating
that we will have a cold, wet and
late spring, in which case it would
be good for farmers to raise wheat
The Journal has little faith in
weather prophets, but believes in
mixed farming and stock raising,
with good 6eeds and breeds. Doubt
less, there are men who can make
wheat raising pay nearly every year,
but their methods are not generally
known, or, if known, not generally
followed. Our experience is that
early varieties sowed very early
prosper the best ; but for surety we
would prefer to rely on corn and
oats, as te grain, on potatoes as to
vegetables, and on cattle and hogs
or eheep.
There will be a social, select
reading, oyster supper and perhaps
a lecture, at the new Monroe Con
gregational Church, the evening of
Feb. 22d, '82, the proceeds to go
toward furnishing seats for the
church. Supper and entertainment,
50 cents. AH are invited to be pres
ent, to enjoy themselves and help
"long a good cause. Tickets, at
Dowty, Weaver & Co's, Columbus,
Nebr.
The Journal finds by inquiry
that there was a division of senti
ment in the school board, on the
subjects mentioned by, our corres
pondent, most of them, however,
being in favor of the methods pur
sued. Of course, all public matters
are fit subjects of criticism or dis
cussion in the public journals, and
no official will object to having his
action reviewed and commented
upon. It is the people's business
that is being done, and the newspa
per is the medium of exchange of
opinion.
It Btauds to reason that dealers
in goods in Columbus can sell their
wares a great deal cheaper than can
be done at smaller towns located on
one line of railway, because we have
here competing lines, and greater
competition among dealers. It
strikes the Journal (and in this it
speaks for all concerned, as well as
itself), that many of these dealers
who do not now do so, would find it
greatly to their advantage to set
forth their business in the newspa
pers of Columbus, at least those of
them which circulate among the peo
ple who would make this their main
tradiug point.
The Oakdale Pen and Plow,
quoting our paragraph on remains
of animals found 25 feet beneath the
surface, says : -'A few months ago
a farmer brought into our office a
piece of a pine limb, apparently a
part of the branches of a whole pine
tree ; for, from the circumference of
his well he took out quite an armful
of such twigs and branches. This
was near the valley of the upper
Beaver, and near the Antelope and
Wheeler county line. As the Jour
nal intimates, this is a fit subject for
scientific men to investigate; and
Nebraskans finding such things in
their excavations would like to know
something more of the formation of
the soil they tread upon.'' -
Prompt and full answers to the
wheat circular issued from the Board
of Trade, Omaha, would greatly
facilitate the action of the Board iu
procuring the desired quantities and
kinds of seed. It is to be furnished
only to those who actually sow and
use it, and at actual cost to them.
The committee think that it can be
laid down at $1.60 to $1.75 a bushel.
We have no doubt but this move on
the part of business men of Omaha,
large)' interested in the welfare of
the farmers of the State, will result
in great good, because there are in
stances where seed was recently ob
tained pure with excellent crops
following, when other seed under
like conditions was almost a failure.
It was announced the other day
in Lincoln that a little girl had been
coolly murdered. Her name was
Gurtio Burgman. She died not
long since, and her remains were
hastily buried. On being exhumed
the other night and examined by
Dr. Shaw, he reported evidence of
the most cruel and inhuman treat
ment administered at the hands of
her adopted parents, Frederick and
Maggie Clawson. The body of the
child was covered with scars and
bruises, some of them inflicted but
a short lime before death. The
forehead, nose, check and temple
bruised ; cord matks were found on
the wrists, fingers and feet, the great
toes of both feet and one finger
were missing, and numerous ulcer
ated scars covered the limbs and
arms. The accused have been placed
under arrest.
Platte Baker, formerly of this
city, came down from Deuver Satur
day morning, having left Denver the
day previous. Platte ib now a con
ductor between Cheyenne and Den
ver, having served his time on a
narrow-guage road in the moun
tains. It is not generally' "known
that Platte narrowly escaped death
in a railroad accident lately, but
such is the fact. He was engineer
ing on a mountain narrow-guage.
when the braking apparatus failed
to do its duty, and let the train go
whirling down a steep decline, land
ing the whole caravan off to one
side. Platte had his shoulder dislo
cated, and his bead bruised some
what, but is himself again. He tells
us that his father, J. A. Baker, for
merly of this city, is in Golden, Col.,
ixteen miles from Denver, and is
deputy sheriff of Jefferson county.
Frank P. Burgess lives at the same
place.
Services were conducted Sunday
morning and evening by Rev. W. R.
Connelly, General State Missionary
of the Baptist churches. He deliv
ered two sermons, which were pro
nounced very able presentations of
the gospel. He labors iu behalf of
the Missionary fund of his -denomination.
It devolves upon him to
raise, by personal efforts, $2,300,.
among the churches of this Estate,
that with aid received from thevNew
York society he may continue the
ministrations of Missionary pastors,
both in this and other parts of the
State. His post-ontce address is

cause who desire to contribute to the
success of his undertakingB,reae

The Columbus Maennerchor will
give a concert at their Hall, on Sat
urday, Feb'y Uth. Tickets for the
same can be bought at Herman
Oehlrich's, G. G. Becher & Co., and
the Columbus Lumber cud Graiu Co.
We have beeu rt quested to
withhold the communication re
ferred to in our last on school mat
ters, and make a reference to the
subjects spoken of, merely, which
we proceed to do. The employment
of a superintendent alone (without
it being part of his duties to teach a
department) is a needless expense of
$900 a year; the change of text
books involved a useless, additional
outlay of $1500 to $1800; another
building was rented, when we could
have done without it, making an
additional expense.
At the annual meetiug of the
Loupe Valley Library Association,
held Jan. 28th, 1882, the following
officers were elected for the ensuing
year, viz: President, Jos. O. Tas
ker, Secretary, Geo. S. Truman,
Treasurer, Wm. E. Walton, Li
brarian, S. Auderson, additional
managers, Sarah Anderson, Ella
Walton. The number of volumes
in the Library is 255, and a com
mittee was appointed to make selec
tions for additions thereto ; with no
debt banging over it, but funds in
the treasury, the Association, though
not so large in number or so well
appreciated as we could desire, yet
feels that their efforts, in view of
the short time since their organiza
tion, have been very successful, and
can hold out a word of encourage
ment to other neighborhoods to go
and do likewise. In a place like
Columbus, if we would prevent our
young people from running into
vicious habits, we must make the
path of virtue more attractive ; not
the least important agency iu this
direction is a reading room and
library of judiciously 'selected lit
erature, which even as an invest
ment will pay a large per cent, in
the satisfaction of benefiting others,
while to the community at large the
benefits will be incalculable. Sec.

Porter Brigham is the name of
a lad, who has gained a little more
notoriety than usually falls to a boy
of his age, and grounded on facts
not at all creditable to himself.
We are informed that he formerly
lived in Columbus, bis step-father
working for Charles Matthews, and
his mother teaching music.
It seems that he was one of the
boys (the other, named Bryant) who
recently burglarized a store in Mad
sou, and, on account of his youth,
was sent to the State Reform School
at Kearney.
From that place he escaped, and
on the night of Jan. 31st, took a
horse from the stable of C. R. Stim
son near Kearney, which, after rid
ing a while, he turned loose.
Coming to Columbus, he was
here arrested, and placed in jail.
While he and his companion put
their wits together, and contrived a
way of escape for young Brigham,
Bryant considering that it would be
of no use for him to try to escape.
They were not placed in the iron
cage, which is considered perfectly
secure, when properly locked. Brig
ham used the pump handle to pry
off the iron bars at one of the win
dows on the north side of the build
ing, thus making a place of exit,
which through be escaped at about
twelve o'clock Thursday night last.
He immediately struck out afoot
for Madison ; at G. W. Westcott's,
about a mile and a half north of town
it occurred to him that he might as
well ride horseback, and so he en
tered Mr. Westcott's stable, taking
his best roadster, which he rode and
then turned loose, somewhere this
side of Madison.
Officers were sent in pursuit, and
the horse has been found and. the
boy captured.
Tfce Creamery Hew te Obfaia
Milk.
Mr. Editor: The writer of this
has long been convinced and has
often said, that farming in.Nebraska,
if it is to pay, musl have stock rais
ing connected with it. However
large or small the farm may be, let
only such produce be raised as can
be consumed on the farm, and be
converted into pork, beef, wool,
mill ton, eggs aud butter. And since
the new enterprises in Columbus,
viz, the packing house and the
creamery augur, and have already
produced a better home market, my
assertion above is the more true.
I have no doubt that a good num
ber of the farmers reading the Jour
nal will join the army of cream
furnishers. Their cows must be fed,
and that with a view to milk, too.
What to feed? and hence what to
raise? must be questions coming up
now. Roots, especially the mangel
wurzel and the rutabaga are very
good milk-producers. So is the car
rot, and this is especially desirable
as it gives color to the butter, and
they all succeed splendidly in Ne
braska. The writer has raised mau
gelwurzel of 3 to 4 inches in diame
ter and 15 to IS inches long, carrots
2 inches thick, and 12 to 15 inches
long. ' But there is one objection
all roots, to succeed well, require
considerable labor. This is not so
much the case with corn fodder of
all sorts. Sweet corn makes the
best green and dry fodder for milk
cows. If sowed broadcast, say two
bushels to the acre, it can be fed
green to milk cows, cut freab every
day, and sowed at different times a
good supply can be had throughout
the whole season. For winter feed
it can be cut before the stalks get too
bard and bound in sheaves and set
up in shocks in the field until thor
oughly cured. A still better way is
to build. silos and preserve it or oth
er green feed in the form of ensilage,
bnt this is for the common farmer
too costly. For winter feed Hunga
rian grass and Millet, especially the
latter, cannot be too highly rec
ommended. One of the foremost seed raisers in
America says of German Millet
(Panicum Germanicam): "This is
an improvement on Hungarian grass
if cot when the leaves are training.
Under some circumstances it will
yield half as much more to the acre.
On one occasion we cut thirteen tons
of dry, clean bay from three acres."
With a good and well-filled root
house, some stacks of good hay,
cornfodder or Millet hay, airy clean
and yet warm shelter for the cows,
the cream-furnisher is prepared for
the winter campaign. Let him keep
ground feed of corn, barley and oats
to feed with chopped roots, and if he
mixes a little bran, it will increase
the flow though not enrich the milk.
If the projected oil works in Colum
bus, spoken of in the Journal, get
to be established, one of the most
wholesome and milk-producing feeds
can be added to the list, viz, oilcake.

Platte Ceater.
Dear Journal: Thinking that a
few items from our little burg would
be acceptable once in a while, I ven
ture to contribute my mite to your
correspondent's column.
The weather has been so fine, and
prices for grain so good, that our
town is filled with smiling farmers
every day. We also have many vis
itors from your city during the week,
among the latter we were pleased to
meet Mr. F. N. Price, who was here
on Saturday last, working energeti
cally in the interest of the Columbus
Creamery. His mission through
this district will no doubt be success
ful, as he is a live man and talks
business from the start.
We have shooting matches here
every Saturday, and Master "Frank"
Eyeman of WattsviUe makes some
of the veterans open their eyes when
he breaks ten glass balls in succes
sion. He is quite cool, and not half
so vain of his skill as some who are
old enough to be his father.
The usual Suuday wolf hunt came
off yesterday but "nairy" wolf killed.
The Columbus boys did not come
out. The Platte Center boys say they
are sorry, and if they will come out
again their dogs will be safe, as our
boys will promise not to run over
them or pass them in the hunt.
A would-be prominent citizen of
our town has been trying to gain
cheap notoriety in Columbus by
circulating a story to the effect that
not long since at what he terms a
wake in this place there was carried
on a regular drunken brawl, and that
things occurred there, that would
throw the lowest slums in New York
in the shade. Some of the most
prominent citizens of Columbus
were present as watchers on that
occasion, and can testify that the
story is false, every word of it, and
could only originate in the mind of
a low, prejudiced mischief-maker,
who itt well known iu our communi
ty. More anon, Boreas.

Farmers are busily engaged in
preparing their corn ground for
plowing.
The Bisraark U. L. Society is mak
ing quite a display. The people
seem to be very much interested,
and the members are trying to make
it a success.
Mr. Nicholas Mathis of this place
was badly hurt a few days since by
a wagon load of hay running over
him.
Mrs. C. W. Getts and Mr. G. O.
Burns returned home from their
visit in Iowa last week. They were
accompanied by Mr. C. Wilson, their
cousin of Pennsylvania.
Messrs. Getts and Garlow, "the
late bachelors," were of course made
happy, and preparations were made
for a feast The "fatted calf" was
not killed, but a fat hog will be, in a
few days.
If all bachelors are like they were,
deliver us from ever being bache
lors. It fell to my lot to call on
them one evening, and what do you
suppose met my sight? There
stood Getts at the table with sleeves
rolled up,' trying to knead dough, or
what would have been if it had had
a chance. He growled and fussed
oyer it because it would not mix,
but to no good. There was too
much kerosene in it. At last it was
put into the oven, and the results
were impatiently awaited. They
come, and soon enough to. In the
meantime Garlow was getting sup
per. He found four potatoes which
he threw into the oven, and a basket
of eggs which were put into a kettle
of boiling water, but not until it bad
been well seasoned with butter and
salt.
Supper was at last announced.and
after being urged I sat down with
them. Well the potatoes were not
soft, nor neither were the eggs, for
they had boiled something less than
half an hour. The tea was nothing
more.tan sweetened water bnt it
was good. Since the return of Mrs.
Getts they have both been sick. A
change of cooking and clean dishes
did the mischief, for Getts shot his
dog because he refused to lick the
dishes any longer.
Yours Respectfolly,

eply to e."
Mr. Editor: Your correspond
ent, "G" seems in a friendly way to
aim at two things, viz: to show that
it is not so profitable in all cases to
milk cows, as to let the calves suck.
If his cow is such a good milker and
a still better nurse, of course I would
use her in the most profitable way.
Exceptions do not annul rules, on
the contrary they prove them. Asa
general thing, I maintain that more
money can be made by milking cows
than by having them nurse the
calves, especially since we are going
to have a good milk, cream and but
ter market.
"G" seems to be favorably disposed
toward the Hereford breed of cattle.
They certainly have their excellen
cies. As a beef breed they are com
ing up very nearly to the securely
established shorthorns. Their breed
ers assert that they excel the Dur
hams. But that has to be proved
yet. If some rich men feed up a few
choice animals at great cost and ob
tain a premium at a fat stock show,
it surely ought not to bias the judg
ment of sane men against the merits
of such an old and well established
breed as the shorthorns. But I will
not run the Herefords down. I
readily admit that they are good
beef cattle. When it comes to their
milking qualities, however, the
Hereford men in their eagerness to
praise them up as beef cattle have
done so at the cost of their milking
qualities. The writer of this has
seen a statement put into print by
Hereford men, and he is sorry that
he did not preserve it. It was to
this effect (I quote from memory),
viz : "Many of the shorthorn cows
on the western plains, being good
milkers get spoiled. They have
more milk than their calves can suck,
their bags get caked and thus they
become useless. Thi9 is not the case
with the Herefords ; they, as moder
ate milkers, are just the cattle for the
plains." This, Mr. Editor, is surely
"faint praise" as to the milking qual
ities of the Herefords, and it speaks
volumes in favor of the shorthorns
as milkers. It was my reason for
Inot enumerating the Herefords
among the good milkers. "GV cow
is an exception, aud there may be
more exceptions among that breed.
Let "G" tell us all he knows about
Guyon's milk-mirrors. A. H.
