The cleaning of back yards and alleys should be attended to, that the health of the community may not suffer. Even though the weather management have got things badly mixed, the hot days of Summer will find us some time duiing the season at least the precident for such an arrangemcut has been well estab lished. Any one wishing a farm wagon that cannot be surpassed by any make can get one of Win. Becker at a very low price.

"There is no place like home," thankfully reflects the unhappy ben edict when he remembers the house cleaning "rumpus" that is going on there. The law firm of McFarland & Cowdery is represented at the Cap ital this week to its utmost capacity; both members having gone there to take in the legislative sights. A substantial break-water to pre vent the cutting away of the foun dation at the north end of the Platte river wagon bridge has been com pleted under the supervision of commissioner Hudson.

His report will appear in the proceedings of the board. The cold wave prophecied by Vennor for this month appears split up some, and a warm day or two will sandwich between cold ones occasion ally, completely demoralizing the local chronicler. Such items as "The cold wave has passed" and "Beautiful weather, and now hurrah for sum mer," are numerous. The old gray horse "Jim," famil iar to everybody in Columbus, and whose history is well known to the old settlers of the city, has been shipped by rail to Grand Island, where arrangements have been made for the balance of the days of the faithful old animal to be spent in well-earned rest. For some years he has been in the care of Gus. G. Bech er. The arrangement speaks well for the humanity of those whom he has faithfully served until his age will nearly reach the average length of human life. A heavy rain storm visited Co lumbus and vicinity Friday after noon. The Union Pacific Paymaster Josslyn's train left Omaha the other day and made the run to this city, ninety-one miles, in exactly two hours and a half, including stops. Mrs. A. Anderson and daughter Nettie, of this city, were agreeably surprised one day last week by the delivery of a splendid $350 Emersou Piano, at their residence. After the fun of the surprise Mr. Anderson made the proper explanation. J. B. Wells started to Custer, Black Hills, Tuesday to look alter his mining interests which are located on French Creek. He does not go to stay this "trip," and if the fortune that "Jack" feels pretty sure of, is not ripe for developing, he will wait un til it is. Some of our good farmers claim that corn does best when it can sprout and grow steadily right along without any back-set, and that two or three days, more or less, in the time of planting, does not make much differ ence In the growth, provided that it is cultivated thoroughly and often after sprouting. The following land sales are re ported by S. C Smith, all but one of which are uew settlers : uw H, sec. 13, tp. 18, r. 3 w., to Peter J. Lawrence; all sec. 1, 1. 17, r. 2 w., Stebins & Co., Iowa ; farm of Frances H. Bauer in sec. 34, 1. 19, r. 3 w., to James Bryan of Plattsmoutb, Neb. ; Jacob Labius, s. Y Be i, sec. 27, 1. 19, r. 2 w. We have noticed in the last few 'days several fields of rye headed out nicely, and we are inclined to think that it is among the most profitable of crops for Nebraska farmers, because it matures early enough to avoid the weather that frequently affects our wheat crop injuriously, and because it forms an excellent late pasturage for stock. Rey. John Gray, pastor of the Congregational church at this place, was at David City last week, attend ing tnc urst session of tne uoiumbus Association of Congregational church es, commencing Tuesday last. We learn that much business of interest to the Association was transacted, the acceptance of the Gates cfcllege build ing at Neligh beiug au important item. The delegates and members were generously treated by the citi zens of David City. The following item is from the David City Republican, which paper recently "dropped" the advertisement of the parties mentioned until they could investigate certain rumors of their irresponsibility : "We wrote to the references furnished by Dr. S. A. Richmond & Co., St. Joseph, Mo., and have as yet received but one response and that was unsatisfactory. We have also written to 'Richmond & Co..' informing 'them' of the fact, bnt 'they' do not answer. We fear the 'doctor' has got his 'Nervine' on us." Gus. G. Becher & Co., can give you life insurance on the co-operative plan in the best associations of that kind in existence. They also repre sent the N.Y.Mutual Life with its $95, 000,000 assets the best in the world. "You pay your money and take your choice, "but always patronize home enterpriie when practicable, and listen to the representations of your home agent, whose business reputation would be jeopardized by deception, in preference to those of a stranger who has a "scheme" to propose to you. 4-3 Mrs. J. J. H. Reedy started yes terday morning on a visit to her parents, who reside in Richardson county, Neb. They are upwards of 70 years of age, and are quite infirm. Her father, Rev. J. McDougall has been for many years an active itiner ant in the United Brethren Church, and is now a superannuate. He has spent over 40 years in the ministry. His labors in the Republican valley have been very acceptable. That he may complete his four score years, is hardly probable. . We notice more than the usual number of tent catterpillars on the plum trees. They eat the ieaves and thus destroy the crop. The easiest way to get rid of them is to destroy the upt of eggs before they hatch; that is now too late, but the insects may readily be destroyed when they are in their tent, which is during the night, and up to about nine o'clock in the morning. Put gloves on, remove the tent from the tree and mash it under your feet. A full description of this insect together with the apple worm or cooling moth is given in the American Agriculturist for June, and is very interesting. Foaad. At Martin Heintz's stable, a 'com plete suit of clothes, nearly new, consisting of pants, coat and vest and an overcoat. The owner can have the same by proving property and paying all charges, including this advertisement. 4-3t Kellweod. Editor Journal: I thought the north might like to hear from the south side of the Platte. We are very busy planting corn yet. The wheat crop will be very small aronnd here. A big acreage of oats, which look splendid. Wheat also has a fine start and looks well. We are in hopes of big crops all around and good prices. A marriage in Bellwood the other day Mr. Frank Gerome, to Miss Eda Curtis. Bellwood is growing rapidly. Steve Curtis, late from Mich., has bonght two lots and built a frame house. Elisha Smith and Mr. Perry, with their families, just from Michigan, have located near Bellwood. These gentlemen chartered a car and brought their teams with them. Bellwood has six grocery stores, two hotels, one drug store, one hard- I nolo diuic, inu uwwid, auu inw butchers. Joshua Winn. Rev. John Gray will preach a sermon to the young folks, next Sun day evening, at the Congregational church. The following hints on advertis ing are taken from an exchange and embody some very good ideas on that subject : "If you can arouse curiosit) by an advertisement it is a great poim gained. The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity in the world ... A heavj advertisement once is more than quad rupled in value by a Miiall card, pub lished for a few mouths, utter giving your address ... A simple card may profitably stand years without change, but a sensational advertisement sho'd be changed as often as you can get the printer to do it A newspaper worth advertising in once is worth making a contract with To make a niau realize au idea as you realize it is what is necessary to make him un derstand his needs. Advertisements should aim to place a matter so clearly before the public that they see it as clearly as the advertiser does." Viewed from a distance, the "Far West" has many attractions for the young Nebraskan as well as the more delicately reared young gent of the eastern states. And in the Spring of the year when a nomadic prospensity Beems to take possession of mankind generally, and the daily labor of ordinary avocations seems as monot onous drudgery, and bright visions ot riches easily acquired in the gold fields loom up iu the mental horizon, and the walking is good, he strikes out. But in the light of a Summer experience at getting rich in a hurry where every man seems to live for the same object to make money he is apt to dubiously view the prospect of a winter spent in that country, and to "long for the flesh pots" of home. In this connection it may be said that Jno. West, barber, for some time with Henry Woods, has left Denver (so a private letter says) for the San Juan country in Southern Colorado, aud expects to return to Columbus this Fall. The following pertinent remarks are made by the. Norfolk Journal and will apply to many towns in Nebras ka where better papers are published tbau the support they receive will justify: "Did it ever occur to the people of Norfolk that they are get ting two better papers than they pay for? Such is the caso nevertheless. There are men doing business here whose support to both institutions does not amount in the aggregate to $5 a year, and still it would make them awful mad if the editor should neglect or forget to meution their re ceipt of new goods, the marriage of their daughter, or the death of one of their family. The paper is nothing but 'a little country sheet' anyway, without ability or enterprise. He can get along without advertising, and the paper can get aloug without his support. Yes, enterprising neighbors will see that it don't die,, and he will 'sponge' his share of what little bene fit the town derives from it. Of the trade hiB neighbor spends his money to bring to town, he will receive his proportion of benefit, just the same. Such men as these, of course, are val uable acquisitions to a town. The first of last week it was ru mored that W. H. lleidelberger, than whom it was generally believed there was no more solid merchant in the city bad made an assignment in favor of his creditors. The facts which developed themselves later, as we learn them, are substantially as follows : Joseph Schaffher, of Chicago, purchased the goods for the benefit of creditors in that city, whose claims amounted to about $2,300, and pos session was given on the 13th day of May. Later, judgments were con fessed in favor of M. Hellman & Co., of Omaba, amounting to $1,477 99, and executions placed in the bauds of the sheriff who levied on the goods and took them from Schaflner and now holds them under said writs. Schaffher is about to institute suit in the U. S. circuit court at Omaba to replevin the goods, or against the sheriff on his official bond. The goods would probably invoice in the neighborhood of $2,000, and Bince they have become a bone of conten tion between the creditors, the law yers will receive a benefit, and are about the only interested persons who appear to have a very clear outlook to get much out of the affair.

The fire-fiend has been 'making great havoc iu this settlement during the last 30 days, causing more damage here than at any time duriug the life time of the oldest inhabitant. The first one ran through W. B. William's trees about ruining them, bis buildings being only just saved by the neighbors; then it swept through G. H. Kribler's timber claim, destroying a fine grove of six years' growth. Miss Kibler had a narrow escape (her clothes catching fire) try ing to save the stables. A few days after another fire was started, which came within a few feet of the fine groves of neighbors Ander man and Khight, containing over thirty acres, which were only saved by the most heroic exertions. While I am writing a fire is raging on sec tion 28, having 6wept torough W. N. McCandlish's forty acres of trees. The school house of district No. 45 was barely saved by the atrenuous ef forts of Mr?. Lacy Mrs. B. Belknap, and Miss Cora Jackson with F. W. Anderman for captain. When will these dreadful fires cease? Mr. Hoffman's oldest child was buried to-day. Died from malignant diphtheria; the baby of the family has the same disease. The funeral was largely attended. A. Police Coart. A woman known about town as "Madam Dee" was taken before the court and fined $10 and costs for keeping a house of prostitution. Two inmates were fined each $5 and costs. Complaint was made against I. Gluck aud P. W. Schmitz Saturday by Frank Owens for gambling. The gambling as charged consisted in playing at a game of chance with knives, the true inwardness of the, affair being that P. W. was willing to bet on his ability as a "high kicker" and found a tsker in Mr. G., "staked" tho money, kicked at a knife stuck up at a certaiu elevation aud lost. The complaining witness had not come into court at the time of this writing, Tuesday. Reul Estate Transfer. Reported for tho Journal for the week ending last Saturday, by Gus. G. Becher & Co. : Wra.

Iieceaa CohbcII. The seventeenth annual council, of Nebraska diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church held a very inter esting session in Omaha, beginning May 17th, 1882. Bishop Clarkson pre sided, aud, as usual, with perfect sat isfaction to all members. Grace parish, of Columbus, was represented by J. R. Smith and J. J. H. Reedy. Important moasures are before the council, and the uext session is looked forward to with considerable anxiety on account of measures that will affect the representation of the laity in the couucil. Good feeling prevailed, and the va rious addresses delivered were of special value, among which were the annual address of the bishop ; the re port of cathedral chapter; the report of the committee on Christian educa tion ; the missionary address of Rev. F. C. Eldred, of Norfolk, The members of the council were generously entertained during the ses sion, and were well pleased with their vi-it. R. Creates.

Mrs. Scudder, Mrs. Anderman and Miss Nellie Jack son read sketches of "WomanB' life in India and Siam" which were listened to with interest. Mr. Kim ball and Dr. Scudder made telling remarks. A generous collection was taken in aid of the object.
