Andre Seggessen, while engaged
in a Swiss national game at William
Bucher's place on 11th street had the
misfortune to break his leg. The

wrestle, and a fall with the limb
twisted was the cause of the accident.

The old gray horse that took
first money in the free-for-all trotting
race at the county fair would be
entitled to first premium and
medal besides were he competing
for the privilege to be called the
homeliest looking horse in the state.
Many an old farm plug would
appear like a thoroughbred in com
parison. Dr. E. L. Siggins came down
from the west Saturday laBt, and will
"hang out his shingle" again
in Columbus. He exhibits a fine
specimen of anthracite coal taken out
of the mountains in the Gonison coun
try, and thinks he has a good thing
in an interest with a company that
have purchased lands that abound in
large coal veins.
The Democrat begins to think
that Hammond and Hall means heaven
and bell for the democracy, but is not
specific in saying which is heaven and
which is hell. A little more particu
larity will not be out of order. We
suggest that both John and E. B. are
capable of both exhorting the democ
racy to good deeds, and condemning
them for their wickedness.
The American Agriculturist has
a grand offer for September, 1882,
only, to every new subscriber for

A young man from the east on bis
way home from a visit to the moun
tains fell into bad company in the city
Saturday night and was lured by a
couple of men to the bottom, where
he says an attempt was made to rob
him, the chain being jerked from his
watch in the scuffle to get it, and him
self roughly bandied, though he hung
on to his watch and money and got
away.
George Matthews was the victim
of a sneak thief's deviltry a few nights
since. He retired at night with his
clothes deposited upon a sofa near the
open window, and in the morning
they were picked up near the front
gate minus a fine silver watch, a birth
day present from bis father and fifty
cents in specie, which, fortunately,
was all the money tbe clothes con
tained. C. C. Miller of Rawlius, Wy.,
was in the city Monday shaking
hands with old acquaintances. Him
self and brother Alonzo are engaged
in tbe stock business, have nearly 2,
000 bead, and C. C is on his return

posed of fonr car loads. They expect

loads. All their old acquaintances

tbe Miller Bros.

church of Nebraska will hold a Har
vest Home festival at their church in
i he city Sunday next. Special service

visit he has baen to New Mexico. He
thinks that a good country for sorat
purposes, stock raising and mining
being the first in Importance. He has
gone east to visit his children. E. J.
will be interested In the Columbus
grain market this winter, though his
home will be in Colorado.
Sunday last, while J. P. Abts and
sons were at church a fire broke oat
at his stable, supposed to be caused by
somebody throwing a lighted cigar
upon the manure pile. But for the
timely assistance of neighbors and
especially of Messrs. Thurston and
Kunzeman, Mr.Abts's property would
have beec destroyed, and he desires
to express his sincerest thanks for
their help.
The entertainment given by
Lindsay's Comedy Concert Company
at tbe Opera House Friday evening
drew a small house ; and it is just as
well so, for they were not up to the
standard of first class entertainments
in some particulars, though little
Mabel Witherell in her musical
pecaltles aad songs, Edward Nicker
son in his cornet solo, and Clarence
Fry in violia solo were three excel
lent features.
We are informed that W. E. Wal
ton, of this county, intends disposing
of his entire Elm Springs herd of
tboroogbbred short-bora and grade
cattle early in October, which will be
sold at public auction. Those wish
ing to Improve their stock will do
well to keep track of this sale, and
look out for the advertisements and
posters that will soon appear. He
intends exhibiting samples of his
stock at the coming fair. 18-2
"J. W." in a communication to the
Journal this week cites "Skimmer,"
tbe Democrat's correspondent, for
authority upon the duties of woman,
to St. Paul's epistle to tho Ephesians,
5th chapter, 22d, 23d and 24th verses,
and first epistle to Timothy 2d chapter
from 11th to 15th verse. "J. W."
claims the weight of authority on bis
side and thinks "Skimmer's" "feet
have never been blistered traveling on
the hard and thorny road to Dam
ascus.1
Last week a man employed about
Scott's livery stable and known by the
name of "Rany" Haar, was discovered
to have been appropriating property
that did not belong to him. J. C.
McMahon was working a clue which
he thought would lead to the detection
of the thief who stole George Matth
ew's watch, but which fastened the
theft of Henry Eessler's watch upon
the man Haar. Kessler was also em
ployed about the stable, and the theft
wa9 made from his trunk in the office.
Haar was suspected of other thefts,
aud given a limited time to leave town.
The B. & M. excursion train Fri
day brought a number of people from
Seward, David City and intermediate
points, to see the sights at the last
day of our county fair and witness
tbe trials of speed. That tbe free-for-all
trotting race with entries of
some of the noted horses of the state
was not finished that day for want of
daylight was undoubtedly a disap
pointment to many. Only four heats
had been trotted at six o'clock and it
was decided that the conclusion of
the race would have to be postponed
until the following morning.
Mr. Samuel Curtis, lately visiting
Al. Arnold of this city presented him
with a nice little present that he is
very proud of, being sportsman
enough to thoroughly appreciate. The
present consists of a pair of silver
pocket scales, drawing eight pounds
and shutting up in compact form not
larger than a small pen knife. For
fisherman, to determine tbe weight of
a good catch, its a daisy little lnstru
ment Al. gave his friend a taste of
fishing sport in these parts, the twain
landing in a short time some 24 bass
and a number of pickerel from the
lake near Steven's.

A special correspondent of the
Glasgow Herald, in a letter to that
sheet, under date of 29th June, makes
deprecatory mention of our friend D.
A. Lord in stating that he drew tbe
long bow in reference to sheep rais
iug and wool-growing in this region.
The Scotch correspondent, whose li
quor was probably better than his
judgment, should be told that Mr.
Lord is one of the most careful of
men, and that all his statements made
to this man, if he could gather them
together in the connection tbev were
delivered to him, would be found to
be exactly and strictly in accordance
with the facts of the case. The large
loss of sheep that this correspondent
refers to was of some purchased in
Denver, and lost in tbe drive during
a very severe storm of rain and sleet.
When Mr. Lord purchased the sheep
they were in poor condition and he
expected to lose a considerable num
ber of them. Owing to their condi
tion, the price paid was little above
that of a good pelt, and the purchaser
was not a loser in reality (even on
this flock) but, on tbe contrary, made
money out of them. The Scotch
correspondent seems to have forgot
ten that an American can have more
than one flock of sheep at a time, and
that general remarks on sheep culture
in this country, are very correctly
based upon geueral, and not upon
special and peculiar instances. It is
not uncommon, for instance, to have
a flock Increase 80 per cent. One of
Mr. Lord's flocks of ewes, 600 in
number, reproduced last spring 585
Iambs, and such a rate of increase is
not uncommon. If our Scotch news
paper friend will come over here
again, and agree to set naught down
in malice, we know he will tell a dif
ferent story of Mr. Lord's report
concerning sheep-culMfe in Nebras
ka. Tbe same correspoudent "draws
a very long bow" when he cries down
the land in our neighboring Nance
county, and at the same time praisos
up Missouri and Kansas. The huge
crops on the cultivated tracts, and the
immense growth of grass on the
virgin soil, speak volumes of praise
for Nebraska, which no amount of
misrepresentation and downright
falsehood can get rid of, and need
only be referred to by way of illus
trating bow mean and untruthful a
man can be, either on general lack of
principle, or because be is paid for
manufacturing opinion for some man
who has lands for sale elsewhere.
The Fair.
The attendance at tbe fair was good,
reaching as high as 1500 on Thursday,
over 1,000 tickets being sold that day.
The weather was fine, and every thing
favorable to a good exhibition. Tbe
display showed that tbe county is
able to compete in this line, so far as
superior quality of products is con
cerned, with any in the State. A large
number of diplomas will be Issued,
but at tbe present a list can not be
secured. The special premiums offer
ed by the business men of the city
will be published in our noxt. The
receipts were about $1400, and tbe
cash premiums awarded $1200, or
over. The improvements on the
grounds thiB year cost about $1,000.

Among tbe farming community
threshing and haying Is the order of
the day. Farmers who have throsbed
say that all kinds of small grain is
yielding well, and corn as we all are
aware of looks very promising in
deed. Our grain buyers have commenced
buying and are paying very good
prices.
Our town physician, Dr. Ed
wards has repaired to rural life and is
erecting a large and substantial brick
strncture.
One of onr merchants boasts of
having shot 23 prairie chickens in part
of a day, and did not keep a single
one, who can beat that?
Dr. W. N. Powell of Missouri is
we are pleased to learn about to lo
cate among us. We wish him suc
cess. We hear of a great many improve
ments to be made this fall in the town
of Platte Centre, in respect to mer
chants, enlarging their business
capacity and so on.
Quite a number of our citizens are
speaking of visiting the State fair at
Omaha this fall.
John Timothy will teach the school
of the Dist. just northeast of Platte
Center this winter. He has followed
the occupation of instructor for some
time in this neighborhood and has
given general satisfaction.
The dwelling of Patrick Morrisey
burnt down last week, but is luckily
insured.
It appears tbe Alliance excitement
is all over as but little is spoken
thereof lately.
Nearly all our country cousins,
(school inarms,) have been attending
the teachers Institute which makes
quite a scarcity of them for the time
being, in the country. So says
Old Timer.
