It will be necessary for fanners
who desire to sow fresh pore seed
wheat to make arrangements to that
effect soon. We are informed that
one of our enterprising dealers in

things in time.

The wolf hunters are anticipat
ing an exciting time to-morrow
(Thursday) afternoon. A wolf is to
be let loose at Clother's corral, north
of the city, and of course "all the
king's horses and all the king's men"
including the hounds, will be let
loose also. The hunters of Platte
Centre, with their sew bound, have
been invited to be present, and par
ticipate in the exercUes.
At noon, on Wednesday of last
week, the residence of Hon. Charles
A. Speice was endangered by a fire
in the old dwelling house, now used
as a kitchen. The chimney consists
of a pipe resting on a sheet-iron sad
dle on the roof, and the stove pipe,
by some means had got ont of its
fastening above, causing the roof to
take fire. Fortunately one of the
little children discovered it, and
giving the alarm, Milton put it out
in short order.
Dr. T. H. Mitchell has conclud
ed to change bis location, having ac
cepted a lucrative situation as sur
geon for the U P. Railroad Co., with
a location at Ogden. The Doctor
has made many friends since he came
to Columbus, who will sincerely re
gret to part with him, and he has a
reputation as a physician and skill
ful surgeon which any man in his
profession might feel proud of. His
household goods and cream ponies
were carred on Saturday.
Saye a prominent horseman, in
giving his opinion of Vanderbilt's
mare, Maud S., whose great feat at
Chicago put her at the head (and
dubbed her "Queen of the Turf.")
"In my opinion the time is not far

Kendall's Spavin Cure, as it limbers

Frank Vanderschneck created
quite a sensation in town Monday
morning by reporting that, in com
ing across the Loup he had encoun
tered a gap in the bridge, and, his
horses scaring, he had compelled
them to jump over the gap, and then
the whole bridgn (new part) had
gone out behind him. He told this
story on his first arrival in town
Monday morning ; a trusty reporter
of the Journal- ascertained that two
or three planks were missing, but
that the bridge was all right.
As some of our citizens are slow
to pay taxes assessed upon their
dogs, they may find some consola
tion in the fact that the Supreme
Court of Indiana decided on the 20 tb
that dogs are not recognized in law
as property, and therefore cannot be
stolen. A man was charged with
stealing his neighbor's dog, and the
court bold that they are not taxed as
property of value, but for the pur
pose of discouraging the propaga
tion of the species. It may be well
to remember this decision when any
of these home cases go to the Ne
braska Supreme Court.
In a certain school district in
Platte county the intelligent, enter
prising folks who organized a liter
ary society have been disturbed sev
eral times. The following item from
the Lincoln Journal is commended
to their attention: "The prompt
action of the school board in district
No. 58, near Waverly, in arresting
and bringing to justice the young
man, who, with bis associates, went
about disturbing meetings and break
ing up school literary societies, is
what might be called refreshing.
The example of this board should be
followed in every district where
disturbance of this kind ocean."
One can hear all kinds of ru
mors on railroad matters, and among
the latest is that the U. P. are going
to complete arrangements (whether
by purchase or lease is not said) to
increase their traffic and travel by
drawing from the northeast and the
Bouth and southeast towards Co
lumbus. This would, of course, in
clude the lease or purchase of the
line between Norfolk and Sioux
City, and the extension from here
of a lice to some point In Polk
county, on the line of their Repub
lican Valley road,
David Anderson has been on a
trip to Missouri to purchase cattle.
He informs us that along the Wa
bash tor 200 miles as much corn, hay
and straw can not be seen as one
will observe in a five miles ride over
the U. P. in Nebraska. Mr. A.
traveled through Missouri from
Hannibal to St. Joseph in 1859, and
don't think that country has im
proved much since then. Having
traversed many states during the
last year, he feels confident our state
is better fixed, taking a stock rais
ing and agricultural view of the sit
uation, than any he has been in.
The provident farmer now
looketh after the plows and seeders,
and the harness whereby the good
hones that have been well cared for
during the winter pull the same, to
see that everything is in good order
and ready for business, while the
good housewife gathereth together
her store of garden and vegetable
seeds, sorteth them over, considering
what she must add thereto to make
the assortment of the same com
plete. The grass is looking upward,
the power of the sun is coming upon
the soil and filling it with warmth,
and it is meet that those who mean
to till the same should be active and
wideawake.
The soldiers and others had a
big camp fire in Schuyler on the
evening of the 22d, under the aus
pices of Sheridan post, No. 34, Grand
Army of the Republic. Addresses
were made by Capt. Hammond, ot
this city, T. S. Clarkson, Judge
Russell, Capt. Woods and Paul Vau
dervaort. The glee club furnished
the music. Col. E. B. Temple, the
manager of the Union Spy drama,
delivered a recitation, which re
ceived great applause. A magnifi
cent banquet was served to hundreds.
The ladies of Schuyler bad charge of
the supper and they did themselves
credit in that department. All pres
ent reported a splendid time.
During the last week, Elder
Maxfield officiated in the laying ot
two corner stones for the erection of
Methodist churches. At Papillion
he was assisted by the Rev. Dr. Mil
ler. There will be erected here a
building to cost at least $2,000. At
Scribner, Rev. J. L. St. Claire of
West Point assisted in the ceremo
nies. The structure at this place
will probably cost over $1,500. The
Elder states that in places where the
people desire to build, and are not
able to raise more than $1,000 or
$1,200, a donation can be depended
on to complete the edifice, providing
$250 will finish the house for occu
pancy. This amount will come from
the church erection fund.
Our citizens have very little faith
as a general rule, in weather proph
ets, but it is useless to attempt to
evade or dispute the recent predic
tions of Vennor, or the ground-hog
signs, as not being applicable to Ne
braska. It is very noticeable that a
large amount of prejudice exists in
other portions of the country against
the very innocent ground-hog, po
much so, that even some of the wise
legislators of Ohio have introduced
a bill to exterminate this animal in
the counties of Jefferson aud Harri
son in that state. It will not accom
plish the least bit of good, gentle
men. Your law will be powerless
to reach the sign of the ground-bog,
and our citizens will cling to it in
opposition to ell your statutory pro
visions, enacted by wise legislators.
Charley Morse expects to send
some teams west to work on the
railroad. It seems from the present
outlook that there will be consider
able demand for laborers and teams
the coming season, and we venture
the prediction that never, in all the
history of the western country, was
there such improvement as will be
Been on every hand the coming
year, in settlements upon the farm
ing lands, in prospecting for mineral
wealth, and the construction of new
lines of railroad. Let the good
work go on men of means and men
of muscle, stand side by side, mak
ing money together, living and
working in harmony, each an indis
pensable help to the other, and we
shall have the grandest country on
the face of the earth.
The Schuyler newspapers, of
course, cannot be blamed for defend
ing the interests of their town against
the aggressive policy of the business
men of rival communities to the
west, east or south of them. This is
very commendable on their part, and
should be set down as a virtue wor
thy of all praise and imitation on the
part of other newspapers. Keep it
up, brethren. You are traveling the
road to the journalistic Jordon, so
to speak, and you will have your due
reward. In the meantime, it cannot
be expected that a newspaper, even
an enterprising one, is able to get a
firm hold of all the facts. We give
this one that we have from a very
reliable source, D. Anderson, on
Thursday last, bought a car load of
fat hogs in Schuyler, from men who
had been feeding them for the mar
ket 'Of course, dealers will sell
where they can get the best prices
and why shouldn't they ?
Washington Fulton was in the
city Saturday, and paid the Joubxal
office a very pleasant visit. He
agrees with a recent statement of
the Journal that so Boon as the soil
and season are ready, grain aud
vegetables should be planted at
once, but be is opposed to putting
in wheat, for instance, unless there
is soil enough to cover and hold it
in place. He has known several
fields so put in. which had to be
gone over again, because there was
not sufficient soil covering the seed
to protect it from the birds and the
winds. By the way, Mr. Fulton has
been a subscriber to the Journal
during its existence of now uearly
twelve years, and in all that time
has received every number issued,
but one, and that, he says, he knows
was not our fault.
From the remarks of the. editor
of the Democrat, touching the in
terest manifested by parents in their
children, he has an exceedingly poor
opinion of them. He says "it would
seem as though calves and colts
were of much more value than chil
dren, and that it was more import
ant that calves be ready for market
than that the children should be
fitted for usefulness." The editor
makes a very common mistake,when
be assumes that the only effective
way of judging a school and the
work of a teacher is to visit it, more
or les9 frequently. The work of the
true teacher appears in the added
shrewdness, the better culture and
the more considerate conduct of the
child, and these things the parents
are quick to discern, and the parents
of Columbus are as ready in appre
ciating these things as the cultured
editor of the Democrat is. The
teacher's work ia very justly and
accurately estimated in the pupil.

os. Gross and J. P. Barnes of
Madison were in the city Monday.
The last time J. P. was here he came
down hungry, and dripping through
the rain, from Lost Creek. Of course,
this time, he comes on the cars, and
appreciates the fact that Columbus
did well in getting the branch roads
to center here. Jos. gave the Jour
nal office a very pleasant visit, and
among other items of interesting
news, told us that one of their farm
neighbors, about a mile and a half
from the north line of Platte county,
and two miles from the railroad
track, while digging a well, bad got
down to the depth of sixty feet, be
fore the late storm, and had struck
good solid slate, going into it about
six inches, since which time he has
not heard what the developments
are. Old coal miners pronounce the
indications good for coal. Nebras
ka will all rejoice if a good, paying
vein is struck. Then, too, the land
owners along the bluffs of Shell
creek, the Cedar and other streams
of this region may go to prospecting
with some hope of striking the black
diamonds. The site of the well re
ferred to is on Mr. Westheim's farm
on Sec. 34, T. 21, R. 1 west, and is
on the face of a bluff of a small
valley opening into the valley of
Tracy creek.
Feaeleae.
A packed house greeted our home
talent last Saturday evening at the
Opera House to witness the per
formance of Penelope, and My
Neighbor's Wife. To say that all
were well pleased, would not begin
to express it ; it was pronounced by
all to be the best amateur perform
ance ever given in Columbus.
Penelope is a very neat and interest
ing extravaganza, in one act, and
was presented in a manner highly
commendable to Mr. Parr, the mana
ger. Mrs. Bowman, in the title role,
was fine, and indeed we are inclined
to believe that a great many profes
fessional serio-comic singers might
tako a few lessons from our Penel
ope. Miss Rose North, as the
"Missus," was very pretty and
graceful and her singing especially
fine. Mr. ParsonB, as Chalks, the
milk man, was good, and his "make
up" immense. Mr. Bowman, as
Pitcher in the police, was well se
lected for the part. Mr. Parr, as
Tosser in the grenadier, sung and
acted as UBual, excellently well.
Miss Mamie Mullen, as pianist,
played with good taste, her accom
paniment never being too loud for
the voice.
The characters in My Neighbor's
Wife were well taken by Miss
Hudson, Miss Mullen, Mrs. Cof
froth and Messrs Parnons, Coffroth
and Phillips. Space forbids special
mention, but all were good.
It i6 hoped that our citizens may
have the pleasure of hearing the
performance again soon. There
have been several requests for an
encore.
On Saturday last there was con
siderable anxiety caused by the re
port that a family of emigrants had
taken possession of a vacant dwell
ing house in the eastern part of the
city, and that one of their number, a
woman, was afflicted with the small
pox. The authorities were immedi
ately advised of the facts in the case,
aud a red flag was put upon the
building as a warning. On Monday
morning, the physician, Dr. Hoehen,
pronounced it a clear case of meas
les, and so the anxiety was abated.
Considering the effectiveness of
vaccination, and the precautions that
people take against the spread of
small-pox, it is really less to be
dreaded than the malignant types of
dlptheria or scarlet and typhoid
fever.
It would not be at all strange were
the small-pox to make its appear
ance at any town along the great
route of travel, but with city author
ities on the alert to thoroughly inso
late the first cases, and take every
precaution against the spread of the
disease, there would be little occas
ion for alarm.
False reports should never be cir
culated, and, so far as the Journal
is concerned, the truth, with all the
exactness we can muster, will be
given in all such cases. It is a mis
taken idea of policy, more hurtful
than is easily imagined, that with
holds the facts, however ugly they
may be, and puts forth the lie, how
ever finely it may be clad.
No one, as yet, need fear the small
pox at Columbus.

Fraa Ta TIai.
Editor of The Times: The veter
inary department in your valuable
paper is always read by me with
great interest and I value the in
formation received from it a hun
dred fold more than the small
amount paid for the paper. One
year ago you published a letter from
Dr. John Bates, relating the wonder
success he bad bad in curing spavins
and splints with Kendall's Spavin
Cure, and bis allusion to using It
now in his practice for several hu
man ailments on account of the suc
cess he has always had with it. The
above statements from so prominent
a physician gave me great faith in
its efficacy, and as I had been afflict
ed for years with rheumatism and
hip-joint lameness so bad that I
could hardly walk at times, I pro
cured a bottle and as it has complete
ly cured me I wish to proclaim it to
all the world as the most wonderful
discovery ever made for the benefit
of afflicted men as well as for the poor
horse, for which it was first used.
As this remedy must be of incalcu
lable value to the world, I write this
letter to express my thankfulness to
you for ever mentioning it in your
columns and to ask another favor in
behalf of my fellow men who are
afflicted in body, that you continue
to make known to the world, the
great value of Kendall's Spavin Cure
for both man as well as beast.
Respectfully youra,
Arnold Parker.
