copies has been published, and the
little book distributed all over the
Union in the interest of the G. A.
K. re-union at Grand Island.
S. C. Smith and J. E. North were
found by us in close consultation the
other day. We would advise all who
have any notion of buying land in
Platte county to do it at once, as there
is no doubt but the increasing demand
combined with the good 'prospects
wili send prices up.
The appearance of the city would
be greatly improved and a good work
perfonWcd by cutting down the weeds
which disfigure so many places with
in the limits; besides, the impression
on strangers visiting us must be any
thing but favorable with regard to the
thrift of our citizens.
The game of ball between the
"Wahoos" and "Keystones," which
was looked forward to with consider
able interest by admirers of the sport,
and which was to have come off
Thursday last, was not played, the
Wahoos having sent a telegram that
they could not come.
Although no mention is made of
spring calves in the premium list of
the Fair Association of Platte county,
they will be entitled to a premium
according to their merits. It was the
intention of the association to have
them classed under the head of cattle,
but omitted in making out tho list.
Bring on your calves.
The Ulysses Disjmtch says that
David City "is shaken with a scan,
may., and all because Pickett the
phrenologist had been giving women,
who were foolish enough to go and
hear him, private lectures." The pro
fessor visited Columbus, but the pros
pect for "suckers" was not very good
and "Like the Arabs, &c."
Only two weeks to prepare for
the county fair, farmers. Let every
person do what they can to make the
showing a good one and the fair the
best in the state. The premiums of
fered by the association are liberal
and cover everything of merit. Par
ticularly, let the agricultural showing
be a credit to the state and county.
More than the usual amount of
hay is being put up this year in Platte
and adjoining counties, and in better
shape the stacks being larger and
higher, contrivances of various sorts
being used for elevating. The natur
al meadows are going to be more and
more valuable as time goes on, and
they should be enriched by top-
dressing.
The rush of harvest work is over
in theso parts, and a goodly number
of farmers on the streets Saturday
added to the bustle and business of
the day. They all look happy and
contented, and, witha good croptofi
sir. an grain narvestea anu'vrune nros
.i .
pect for the largest crop of corn the
state has ever produced they cer
tainly have reason to appear so,
Nickoll & Gatwald, of this place,
have started a branch butcher shop at
Genoa, Nance county, and Walter
Gatwald went up Friday to take
charge, Walter is a pleasant and
agreeable young man, full of business
and will, no doubt, run a first class
shop. Later : The new venture was
sold to a party at Genoa and Walter
returned to Columbus Monday.
Threshing and fall plowing is the
next work in order with farmers. In
conversation with an Intelligent and
successful farmer the other day he
said that fall plowing paid largely;
that he bad tested the matter by crop
ping corn from ground plowed at this
season of the year along side of spring
plowing, and the yield was in favor
of the fall plowing by a large per
cemage.
The Beedle and Prindle Pleasure
Party gave an entertainment at the
Opera House, Tuesday evening. They
came here as strangers to these parts,
but in the future they will always be
welcomed with crowded houses. The
troupe is composed of flrst-clasB ar
tists all through, and nothing low or
vulgar so often encountered in enter
tainments of that class. Pcindle is
immense, a good show by himself.

Shell Creek Item.
Mr. Editor: Our ever welcome
weekly visitor, the Columbus Jour
nal, has been belated now for several
weeks, and we wouid ask our P. M's.
through whose hands it passes, What's
the matter? kind o' drowsy these
warm days ?
Harvesting and stacking is pretty
nearly done in this neighborhood, and
of what little threshing has been done
we hear the most favorable reports.
If Uncle John Bull keeps fighting in
Egypt, and maybe get into a little
unpleasantness in India, and in "ould
Ireland," we may. like the man a few
years ago, expect war, because he had
14 bushels of wheat to sell and want
ed the price to go up.
Mr. Davis, who recently married
our widowed neighbor, Mrs. John
Williams, is very sick with dysentery.
Mrs. Davis and some of the children
were also sick, but are convalescent.
Miss Rebecca Elliott has again been
engaged by the school board of dis
trict 31 as teacher for the coming
term. She has taught this and other
schools before, and has everywhere
given good satisfaction. Besides the
Elliott family being heavy tax payers
in that district the board considered
it but their duty, other things being
equal, to give her the preference. We
are confident that she will keep a
good school.
Mr. Henrich had for about a week
an old friend and co-laborer on a visit,
Prof. H. M. Scuaffer from Rochester,
N. Y., who was well pleased with the
country, and will no doubt talk and
WJifl wpiL-oi
Some apprehension was felt in re
gard to the corn crop, that cereal
being rather late, but in the present
warm weather kpon ears can hoar and
sharp eyes can see the ears grow from
day to day, and if for only a couple of
weeks we arc saved from frost we
will have an immense corn crop
more than ever before.
Dr. Armstrong has raised his house
and put a concrete basement under it
"Parkhill," as he calls ha home looks
very fine now. The ')oc" intends to
sell bis farm, keeping only 10 acres as
a pleasant country residence, and he
will then devote himself entirely to
his practice. Yours,
Knows No More.
The West Point Republican is re
sponsible for the following; Andrew
Peterson gives us an item this week
which is illustrative of the queer
freaks Nature is continually playing.
A lamb was recently dropped on his
farm that was not a lamb at all, hav
ing hair like a dog and the face of a
monkey, with oue enormous eye in
the middle of its head. It was white
with several brown spots on it, aud
was considerably larger than an aver
ago Iamb. The monstrosity did not
live.

Ed. Journal: I see by the Jour
nal of tho 2Gtb, where P. McCormack
had occasion to speak of my trip to
the grazing lands of the groat uorth
weEt. Ot course I could uot pass
through the thriviug town of Oak
dale u ithout paying my kind regards
to Mac, ouce one of my old Colum
bus friends. I also had the pleasure
of meeting that sturdy theologian, I.
N. Taylor, at a woman's suffrage
meeting, which happened to be in full
blast the evening I stopped in town.
The question was ably handled on
both sides, particularly by Prof. Bond
and old Jerry Combs, if I mistake not
of plastering and bricklaying noto
riety. I thought as I viewed
him, with his lofty granger appear
ance, as he dealt some heavy hits at
the Prof., who was on the woraau'a
side, that he would grace the ros
trum better than a scoffold. How
ever, I learned before I left town that
if the subject was left to the women
of Antelope this fall, they would vote
it down. I have uot much to say on
the question myself, but poetically
speaking of womau, she was not
taken out of his head to reign, or tri
umph over man ; no, nor taken out of
his feet to be trampled upon ; but she
was taken out of his side, his partner
and equal to be. Still, since they are
united in one, the man is the top of
the tree. Woman's greatest gifts are
her children. Their welfare should
be her greatest and uoblest ambition,
and her greatest contentment in their
midst. Where is the picture Jo lovely
to behold as man's true companion iu
her proper sphere, surrounded In her
domestic comforts with those precious
gems presented to her by God alone?
Lest I try your patience I will leave
the suffrage question and travel on.
Neligh is a beautiful situated little
burg. On my way 1 otossed Clear
Water aud Cache creeks, both fine
streams; passed McClure's ranch;
traveled through 2,000 acres of
meadow ; lit upon my old friend John
M. Alderson, of Humphrey, Platte
Co.; saw Charley Schram iu O'Neil;
he and John Fritz, of Madison, runs
a store. O'Neil is handsomly situated
on the north side of the main Elkhorn.
I saw some of the best graded bulls
at McClure's rauche, in Holt countv,
perhaps that is in the State. McClure
milks 125 cows, and churns every day
by horse power. He superintends the
making of all the butter himself and
manufactures nothing but the pure
"gilt-edge." For this purpose he has
to lay in a large supply of ice every
winter. At one ranche I saw 1.G00
head of nice cattle nothing surpris
ing in that country, but would cause
the old women to put their hand Qver
their eyes if thoy saw such a "bunch"
on Shell Creek. For hay, frogs and
water that couutry can't be beat, but
for the staff oMife, corn and bogs, I
saw nothing in my travels to compare
with old Platte county.

For the Journal.
Mr. Editor: Tho coming election
in Nebraska will be the most import
ant to the interests of the state of any
previous election ever held. Hereto
fore the state has bad but one repre
sentative in congress, this year three
representatives to congress are to be
elected- from the state also one Unit
ed States senator by the coming legis
lature senators and representatives
to the legislature, as well as state
ticket, including governor. No re
publican should fail to consider the
importance of the contest, and permit
that fact to influence his conduct
throughout the campaign. It is true,
it is the political right of any republi
can, to be a candidate for office, but
when he submits his claim for office
under the rules and usages of the
party in nominating candidates, he
should most cheerfully submit, and
still continue to perform his whole
duty to his political friends. Under
the system for nominating candi
dates, usually some bitter feeling
is engendered between friends and
various candidates. I never could see
any necessity for such a result. Can
didates, as well as their friends,
should always act frankly and can
didly with each other and do and say
nothing against each other that they
would not be willing to face and
answer for at any time in the future.
It is not true that there is no such
thing as honesty in politics.
In every county and precinct of the
state, honest and capable republicans
can be found to represent their local
ity in the respective conventions to
be held to place in nomination the
numerous republican candidates. In
the primarjoais the place to make a
eoocRialri anu my a Toou foundation
for the county conventions, as they
have to bear a good share of the re
sponsibility for tho character of the
candidates nominated. Republicans
who may be selected to perform this
duty should in every instance, keep
an eye upon the character and qualifi
cations of all candidates. For all of
the offices the people demand ability
and honesty ; but for congressmen
and senator, republicans expect men
will be nominated who possess ener
gy, integrity and mental-ability of
such an order as to command the res
pect and oonfldenoe of both his con-'
stitueuts and congressional associates.
This work well done, keeping the
numerous issues separate and distinct,
so the people can vote on each as they
may wiBh or desire, and the trouble
will be hair over, and the final result
will be a g.rio repubHcan Ticory
iu the State.
A Republican.
State Supt. W. W. W. Jones, in
making the tour of counties in the
state, visiting teachers' institutes in
session, was enabled to stay over at
Columbus one night, (Monday,) aud
gave a very interesting and instruct
ive lecture at the Congregational
church. A more appreciative audi
ence could not have greeted Mr. Jones
but undoubtedly had there been time
for a raoru extended notice a larger
one would have welcomed him.
On Friday la-t Robert Fvans, of
Burt county, was in the city on the
track of a Iitsc thief with a number
of alieses, but whose right name is
Frank Colby, and whose homo it has
been ascertained is at Aurora, Hamil
ton comity. O-i the 10th inst., the
man hpplkd ai Mr. Evans' farm for
work and was offered a job, but ob
jected to the wages offered. He stayed
over night and the following morning
went to the railroad station near by
and purchased a ticket for some point
in Knox county, got off at the first
station on the road, where he left a
valise and coat to be sjent to Arthur
Maxwell, when the ageut should be
notified to what point to send it. The
same night one of Mr. Evans' best
horses was missing and the thief
tracked to the sand hills where the
horse was found dead, having been
ridden so hard that it dropped, and
the man who rode it identified by Mr.
Evans by the description of some
herders who had seen him as the per
son who had applied to him for work,
aud left the valise at the station.
From there he was tracked to Schuy
ler, his trailers then coming to Col
umbus and putting the case in the
hands of J. C. McMahon, and on
Monday Mac. received a telegram that
the valise left in Burt county had been
sent for to be forwarded to Lincoln,
and by this time the thief is probably
iu the clutches of the law.
