cific Avenue.
The Omaha Presbytery held a

nected with the present club.
St. Anthony's church (Catholic)
on Elm Creek, Bnrrows precinct, was
blown down during a storm that vis
ited that section Friday night, the
same storm demolishing John Grei
sen's and Greisen Bros, wind mills.
Owing to the threatening con
dition of the weather Friday night,
the Methodist ice-cream festival was
not largely attended, and was con
tinued to Saturday night. A good
social time was the order of both
evenings.
We learn that a basket pic-nic
will be held at Warren's grove, Bell
wood, Bntler connty, July 4th. Ora
tions, band and vocal music will be a
part of the programme of the day. A
good time generally is anticipated.
All are invited.
The arder of the dog-killing busi
ness by the police appears to have been
expended the first two days, and the
crack of the death-dealing pistol is no
longer heard. Ammunition may have
have run short. Plenty of uncollared
dogs still in the city.
On June 20th, at Lincoln, Miss
Jessie Mason, daughter of Judge Ma
son, was married to Frederick Harris,
banker, of Ord, Neb. The groom is a
brother of Geo. B. Harris, of the C,
B. & Q. railway. It was a fashiona
ble event and there was a large at
tendance. It is pretty safe to say that Jacob
Knapp, of Madison county, was the
happiest man in the city Friday
evening. Dr. Wheeler relieved him
of a tape worm that we are informed
measured 365 feet, and any one view
ing the bulky coil of the worm would
hardly doubt it
John Walker called at the Joub
.al headquarters Thursday last, and
reports crops in bis section of conatry
(upper Shell Creek) looking fine with
the exception of corn, and thinks that
will be all right with a few wfba of
favorable weather. He has 160 acres
of corn planted, that looks well, con
sidering the season.
By resolution the city council
have instructed the Chief of Police
not to shoot any more dogs oh the
streets, but he most catch them and
kill and destroy them is seme back
Uey, without giving owners farther
notice. Nothing very nice or easy
about that doty. Go to practicing
with the lariat, Brandt
Our Rising City correspondence,
giving particulars of the Tornado and
hail storm that visited that vicinity
Saturday night is crowded oat, hav
ing reached as a little late. Great
damage was done to crops and build
ings, but no lives lost.
A social ball under the auspices
of the Keystone base ball clnb will
be given on the evening of July 4th
at the Opera House. A good time
may be expected for ail those who
may attend. Tickets can be procured
at Dowty, Weaver & Co's drug store.
Becher & Co. can insure you
against almost any earthly calamity.
Against destruction of your crops,
buildings, etc., by the elements, they
can make you, in a financial way, ab
solutely safe. Tornado, and wind
insurance will strip calamity of
this nature of part of its terrors at
least. 9 It
The Columbus Creamery last
week established five new routes for
gathering in the cream. The route
now at Bellwood has been extended
some distance east and west from
that place and has become one among
the best routes for the company.
The routes already established extend
from six to twelve miles.
Although the distance to my
store may be inconvenient to some,
yet it may pay you to call and exam
ine my goods, as my goods are equiv
alent to any in. the market I keep
constantly on hand California fruits,
canned and dried ; also the best of
teas, coffees, sugars, syrups, etc.

The Schuyler Sun thinks "The
Columbus base ball clnb had better
retire on the laurels won in their con
test with the U. P. nine of Omaha."
"Some folks" would feel that way,
but our boys are not of that kind of
stuff. Their courage is good, and it is
just possible they may be again heard
from in a tilt with the U. P's.
We are requested by J. H. Watts
to notify all Sunday schools in the
vicinity of the Wattsville school
honse that they are invite! to meet
with the Wattsville Sunday school in
the Nicholson grove and participate
in a Sunday school pic-nit in connec
tion with the Fourth of July celebra
tion. Each family is requested to
bring a well-filled basket.
Thirty-one to fifteen is the way
the tallies footed up at the end of a
game between the Seward and Mil
ford base ball clubs the other day.
The Seward boys wire beaten, but
the Milford club conU not have been
anything to brag of n the ball play.
The Reporter thinks (be Seward clnb
needs practice. Yes, and a good deal
of it, judging by thst record.
Yesterday daring the severe
storm, a large tree fn the east yard of
D. Andersons residence was struck
by lightning, scattering limbs, bar,
and stones all over the premises. The
family were all more or less paral
yzed for several minutes. The Co
lumbus Packing house had also a
close call, as lightning struck the
earth within forty feet of yards and
buildings.
It has been rumored that the
Summer races would be postponed
on account of the small-pox cases at
the Sisters' Hospital. There is noth
ing in it, and no cause for such a
report, and no reason why such a
postponement should be made, as the
best of sanitary measures have been
adopted and there has been no spread
of the disease not even in the hospi
tal where quarantined.
The Ladies' Archery Club of this
city did a very handsome thing last
Friday. A pic-nic was arranged and
the geacfemen friends invited were
called 'for by the ladies in carriages
and driven to Stevens' grove where
a fewionrs were spent most pleas
antly, concluding with a magnificent
feast in the way of a basket supper
A participant says he never enjoyed
himself better nor feasted more
royally.
A stmnge phenomenon was wit
nessed yesterday morning about ten
o'clock by many citizens. The son
was entirely obscured by clouds and
a cool wind blowing from the south
east, save at intervals, when a hot air
whose heat could be plainly felt on
the face and hands, would last for
several minutes, and what appeared
to be a radiation of heat jnst above
the earth's surface was plainly visi
ble in many places.
The very frequent rains lately,
contrary to general expectation are
bringing the vegetable klngom for
ward very nicely. As Nebraska soil
bis heretofore thoroughly approved
itself in withstanding the ravages of
drouth, so now it is doing the same
with an apparently large surplus of
rain ; our soil is sufficiently porous to
allow evaporation from the inexhaus
tible reservoir below, in the driest of
times, as well as of drainage from the
surface in wet seasons.
A delegation of the representative
business men of Schuyler were in the
city Friday, and called at the Jour
nal office. Their object was, we be
lieve, to obtain from the Columbus
Packing Co. and by personal inspec
tion of their buildings; etc., informa
tion that might be nsefal in the con
templated establishment of a packing
company in that place. They showed
good judgment in coming to Colum
bus for "pointers." A. E. Cady of
the Sun was one of the party.
Oar citizens have every reason to
congratulate themselves that there
has been no spread of asmall-pox in
the city. All necessary sanitary
measures have been adopted since the
quarantine was established, and there
have been no new caaes since that
time. It is now nearly ive weeks
since the first case and abont seven
teen days since the taking down of
the last case. Two of tho original
five cases are well and two convales
cing, and the last case only soffariag
from the ravages made apon the ays
tem by the disease.
For the benefit of persons wish
ing to attend the Summer Races of
the Columbus Driving Park and Fair
Association, reduced rates have been
secured on the U. P. One fair will
be charged for round trip tickets on
stations of this road, good from the
3d to the 5th of July. Albion and
Norfolk trains will be held until 6 p.
m. on the 3d and 4th.
To Denver, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo and return, for $38. The TJ.
P. management have made this short
rate ticket to suit those who wish to
spend the summer "among the snow
capped peaks of the grandest of
American Mountains." The trains
pass in plain sight of the following
peaks : Long, James', Gray's, Pike's
and Spanish, and through eight of
the principal cities of Colorado. We
have not further space this week to
speak of this matter, but will give
The north-western part of the
county appears particularly unfor
tunate with regard to hail and
wind storms. That vicinity was
again visited by a damaging storm
Thursday morning, which took in a
strip of country about a mile wide,
destroying crops and doing great
damage in its course, which was
south-easterly. St. Bernard escaped
this time, as the storm passed west of
that place, bnt we learn that the
Catholic church at St. Mary was badly
damaged.
Our information is that gambling
goes on all the same as before arrests
made. The dominant idea seems to
be that the wrong consists in being
found out, and not in the commission
of the crime. Notwithstanding the
fact that the habit of gambling is a
sure method of unfitting a man for
regular, steady business, men will
be fascinated to their ruin. The com
munity, the public owe it to the
youth among them, and tho inexperi
enced and weak miuded to help them
defend themselves against this vice,
which has worked so mnch injury
among us.
The sixteenth annual State fair of
Nebraska will be held at Omaha,
commencing Monday, September 11,
and closing Saturday, September 16,
1882. The secretary will open bis
office in Omaha Monday, Sept. 4th.
No entries will be received after 5
o'clock p. m. of the first day of the
fair. Entries can be made at any
time until the 4th, by application to
the secretary at Plattsmouth. The
board has decided that the names of
all exhibitors shall be placed on the
cards attached to the articles on exhi
bition. J. E. North, of this city, has
been appointed by the board, super
intendent of the department of swine.
E. A. Gerrard is building a very
substantial horse stable on bis prem
ises in the western part of the city.
The frame is much as the ordinary,
strong, but not containing so many
timbers. On both sides lath are
nailed on, as for plastering, and the
space filled with a mixture of lime,
sand and gravel. The open spaces
between the lath makes the mixture
set and dry readily. Mr. G. told us
that the material for the walls of the
stable, (28x50 feet), had cost, includ
ing lime and lumber, and excluding
hauling, 165. The utility and great
cheapness of concrete houses will one
day be acknowledged, where sand and
gravel can be readily procured.
S. C Smith is a live worker in
the real estate business. During the
last week he has sold 300 acres,
about half being R. R. lands, in Platte
county, alone. To L. C. Spencer, of
Iowa, 80 acres, near Humphrey ; to
John Reilly, of Leadville, Col.80
acres, near Benton ; to S. B. Waldon
and C. H. Sheldon, of Ills., 600 acres,

160 acres, 19,-18,-3w., for a short horn
cattle ranche. The land in section 33
will be fenced and stocked this year.
This was a cash transaction, amount
ing to over $12,000. Also 1600 acres
R. R. land to residents of this county.
To Charles W. Tabbitzer and Abram
C. Southerd, of Niles, Ohio, 200 acres
5,-17,-2 w., and Mrs. Dunlap's farm to
Pat Fagen of Leadville, Col., 160
acres for $1200.
Dr. Wheeler will be at his office
on Olive street for some time yet, but
those in need of his services should
lose no time in consulting him, as
disease in the system, especially long
standing,chronic!caies which are the
doctor's specialty cannot be eradica
ted in a few days. If you have any
thing the matter with you, consult
the doctor ; you will not be a cent out
of pocket for consultation or exami
nation if you do not conclude to take
treatment If your case is curable
he will warrant you a cure, and if not
he will candidly tell yon so. If you
suspect that some part of your system
is becoming a prey to disease, do not
delay until the matter is a certainty
to your mind, for by that time it may
have a firm hold on you ; besides, the
tearing down process is verv raoid
and the building up of the system
slow and tedious, even when the most
skilled physician has the work in
charge. 9
A bold attempt at horse stealing
was made in this city last Friday
night About 11:30 o'clock, Wm.
Moffett.who resides in the north-western
part of the city, and neighbor to
J. M. McFarland, had arisen from
bed to drive a cow out of bis yard,
when he discovered a couple of meu
on horses already in posiesiiou of
B. R. Cowdery's horse, which bad
been lariated in the vicinity. About
this time both men alighted from the
horses they were riding, and made
separately toward a couple of horses
belonging to J. M. McFarlaud and
Moffett's pony which were on picket
ropes in the vicinity of Moffett's res
idence. They were bailed by Moffett,
who thought the thing was beginning
to look serious, and who started to
give the alarm to McFarland; hot as
soon as hailed, the thieves ran to their
horses and, mounting, made off with
the one horse in their possession. He
was soon abandoned, and was met a
short distance from where the thieves
mounted, returning to his grazing
grounds.

question I cannot follow all the points
of disagreement raised by the Rev. F.
Pierce in your columus of the 21st
inst., but will touch a few.
First, I did capitalize "nlone,"uotto
misquote but to call atteutiou to the
word in order that the reader might
puuae and reject that part of the prop
osition. It teas a little hard on the
proposition for on that word the
whole structure rested. Without it
he might as well have said : Woman
is up stairs ; up stairs is higher than
down stairs. If womau comes down
she will not be so high up. Conse
quently she should not vote. The
logic is invincible, but whence the
conclusion?
Second. Government is control.
Slaves are controlled by Bro. Pierce's
rawhide. Freemen make a compact ;
when consent is given, moral obliga
tion comes in. Being a moral agent
possessed of self, controlling self,
forcing self, if required, to sacrifice
something else and maintain man
hood by fulfilling the compact. I
have many times forced myself to
submit to give up to do something in
obedience to the moral control of a
promise or an admitted right. This
can hardly be called governing by
physical force. Who ever saw the
man who forced himself to do some
thing for fear he should physically
kick himself out of the door and
across the street? That would be
self-government by physical force.
Third. Law is a compromise, an
admitted line of justice and equality
between law abiding, self-governing
people and with the penalty a rod for
physical self-preservation against the
rebel, let him be rogue small or great.
Under our system of government we
recognize the voter as a ruler, a king
amongst men, governed by moral ob
ligation imposed by consent. After
one hundred years we still maintain
this to be the true principle of gov
ernment. Realizing moral responsi
bility gives the man self-respect gives
the man self-respect. Power as a
ruler makes him a king. Womau has
stood by all these years, has helped
in every way open to her, to
make us kings worthy to rnle a great
nation. By her self-respect, her self
control, her high moral attainments,
proving herself worthy to be the
equal of kings.
Fellow Nebraskans, crown her
queen, place her by the side of our
kings, put the scepter in her hand and
right royally shall she share the
honor. To-day we rule man by moral
obligation, woman (shame that it is
so) by physical force, we say to
womau, obey or be punished. Who
could, or even did, give less recogni
tion to a slave? And yet, there are
men who say "do not pull woman
down, do not degrade her."
Respectfully,
. A. Gerrard.
