When monsters in human form

Sod houses are disappearing all
over Nebraska, and good frame, brick
or concrete houses taking their place.
It will be only a few years when the
sod house will be something of a
curiosity. The Journal is still of
the opinion that those contemplating
the erection of buildings should in
vestigate the merits of concrete,where
gravel and sand can be had in abund
ance. A notice of the quarterly confer
ence of the Re-organized church of
Latter-day Saints, was handed in too
late for publication last week. One
service was held last Saturday after

meeting-house on 10th street. Some
of our people do not seem to know
that this church is not iu any way af
filiated with the organization under
the teachings of Young, Taylor and
others, and that the tenets of that
body are opposed by their church on
the grounds that they are a perver
sion of the true gospel of Christ.

During a drouth, the people came to

This is a pretty good showing for
a young town, but Nebraska is grow
ing briskly every where, aud the older
cities must put on a little more stir,
inject a little more energy into busi
ness, strike out into wholesaling and
manufacturing, if they want to keep
ahead of the curreut. We clip from
the Madison Chronicle: " For the
month ending to-day, there has been
shipped from this station 25 cars of
corn, 15 cars of oats, 3 cars of wheat, 1
car of potatoes. 13 cars of hogs, and 1
of brick; total, 51 cars. The ticket
sales amounted to over $700."

The Kendalls.
A full house greeted the Kendalls
Monday evening, aud their rendition
of Guy Manneriug was a rare pleas
ure to the lovers of Sir Walter Scott's
romance. The play is written to give
particular prominence to the charac
ters, Meg Merrilies, Dominie Samp
son, Guy and Julia Mannering, Henry
and Lucy Bertram. Mr. Kendall, as
Meg Merrilies, left nothing to be de
sired as an interpretation of the weird
character ; Henry Russell as Dominie,
was simply "prodigious." The other
parts were all well sustained, and the
large audience were well pleased.
The Kendalls have always been great
favorites with Columbus people.
Thanksgiving day was more
closely observed than usual in Colum
bus. Some of the business houses
were closed during a portion of the
day. Uniou services were held by
the churches, Rev. Wilson preaching
the sermon from the text "O give
thanks unto the Lord, call upon his
name, make known his deeds among
the people." The chief subjects
touched were, the object of meeting
together; thanksgiving to God not a
modern idea, as far back as history
carries us the people gave lhanks to
God for food, raiment, and deliver
ance from enemies. We have great
reason to be thankful for the blessing
of the past year. God has blessed U3
in our religious capacity as Christians,
the Father of love and mercy has
watched over the great work in our
country, the church has flourished in
all parts of America. He has giveu
us bountiful crops, and prospered
every branch of human industry, He
has protected us from the ravages of
foreigu enemies, and kindly preserved
us lrom civil discord.

Farmers are busily engaged in
husking corn, except a few who have
finished.
Cattle are in fine condition for the
time of year, and the object of most of
iur farmers seems to be to improve
the quality and increase the quautiSv,
which of course is very wise.
One of our herd boys is having
some trouble of late. A boy who i
herding for Messrs. Gene aud Burns
has been assaulted several times re
cently by a family of Polauders. Yes
terday about 1 o'clock p. ra. he was
seen going home at the rate of "2:40"
and when he arrived he rushed into
the house almost exhausted, aud his
looks were evidence of foul plav. His
?tory told is this: "A Polander boy of
about twelve summers came to him
with a shot-gun on his shoulder, tar
ried a short time, using very obscene
language, then going away a short
distance turned and fired ou him,
sending a volley of shot all around
him,'f but fortunately none hit him.
If this be trne, the law should take
hold of him and teach him to find
some other target than this
poor, inoffensive herd boy.
Thanksgiving passed off very quiet
ly with us.
A young Mr. Brown and Miss Louie
Reed were visiting at Mr. Getts'.
Miss Reed is quite an intelligent
young lady. Also Miss Swartzley of
Columbus was the guest of Miss Laura
Butler ou Thanksgiving, and visited
our school the following day.

The little congregation which had
gathered at the school-house Sunday
dispersed, somewhat disappointed, at
the announcement of Mr. Calder's
inability to be present.
Mr. Jos. Stuart, we understand, is
thinking some ot making Dakota his
future home. Mr. Stuart has proved,
in all bis dealings and intercourses, to
be a gentleman, and we regret to have
him bid farewell to us so soon. But,
if the Dakotabs succeed in capturing
him, we will congratulate them on
their success, as they will find him to
be a genuine good citizen, in favor of
every movement that is calculated to
advance society.
Mr. Robt. McKeown, another of
Pleasant Valley's progressive men,

Mr. Editor : Many thanks to Dr.
Lease for the diagnosis of the calf aud
hog disease, and to you for publishing
it. The Journal thus renders servi
ces to farmers nt.'d stockmen which
are worth many times the subscription
price ot the pnpp r, and by thus mak
ing it a helper you will no doubt meet
with appreciation in the waVjOf new
subscribers until the Jourval be
comes an indispeusible visitor iu
thousands of homes.
Y'our short notice of the Sabbath
-chooj concerto! Platte Center,though
those interested feel grateful for even
that, is haadly sufficient for the occa
sion, aa quire an assembly was pres
ent and a considerable uumber, old
aud young, participated. It was held
iu Wm. Bloedorn's new store bnild
iug, and the room,"of "considerable
size, was well . filled. We noticed
whole families from Lost Creek, Shell
Creek, Granville, Postville and from
the neighborhood of Platte Center.
Rev. A. Heurich couducted the servi
ces, and Rev. A. J. Wright led iu the
devotional exercises. Quite a num
ber of the teachers aud scholars of the
three schools iuvited contributed to
make the occasion interesting. Good
siugiug accompauied by Mrs. Bloe
dorn's organ, declamations, dialogues,
readings and short addresses made
the time fly. Not to be lengthy we
will onh mention a few particulars.
Misses Price, daughter of the Platte
Center miller, sang finely "Strike,
strike for the Victory !" Misses
Steuhens rendered "I gave my lite for
thee," and Miss Armstrong sang a
beautiful solo, "Scatter seeds of kind
ness!' but a little fellow by the name
of Arthy Williams "brought down the
heuse."
A collection of something over 5
was taken at the close. Thus euded
the first concert of these three schools,
aud it was so good that many say, as
the musicians : "Da Capo.'" (repeat).
It was suggested by Mrs. Nickersou,
superintendent of Platte Center Sab
bath school, aud the sequel shows
that her idea was a good oue.

Communicated.
lemocrutic Record.
The following is submitted as a re
ply.to much that has ot late been said
by democratic newspapers and cor
respondents upon the record of differ
ent political parties. I cam'i 'ly
beli eve that u well informed demo
crat will deny its entire truthfulness,
or that a worse record could be writ
ten of any other party.
A record of the writhing slave and tor
turing rack,
The guarding hound and bloody lash,
The pantina steed and swearing train.
When the chase was won with human
game.
Such 6ft the fate of true Caucasian brave,
Though to the manor born, if bred a slave,
With anus unclad and feet unshod.
And blood was left upon the iod.
And onward bent with feebler bounds,
Aud onward came the racing hound-.
Adown the jrleu 'uetth waving vines
A death shout rose to the morning pines.
The tun went dov n on his blood aud clay.
Where the black-winged vultures round
their irey.
The word went round aud all believed
That death and democrats one slave had
freed.
Such the good old time before the war.
When they held power, the hound and
lash was law,
And the slaves rtyins; to this free land.
They hounded to death at the South's
demand.
A ti.ue there-was, from me no harshness
could arise
Against the meanest thing that crawls
beneath the skies,
I've learned to hate democracy what'eer
their claim may be.
And deal them nlow" for blow, when they
strike against the tree.
Long they ruled with vulture and hound,
In meanness now thev are more profound,
They bred rebellion that cursed our clime.
Ami cursed the defenders of our shrine.
They hate the free, their recoril is a
shame.
I've bent my bow: such traitors are my
game. "
That cvpherinj; old fraud of Gramcrcv
Park,
And the shot-gun fraud of the sunny
South,
With seat state and vote stealing and
cypher conspiring.
With bloody shirt, red shirt, and ku-klux
disgiii'sin.
Their crime-cursed creed, disgraced in
all its arts.
Has left the mark of Cain upon their
hearts.
