The people's favorite Florence Herbert and company will present the great Langtry comedy of "An Une qual Match" Friday night at the Opera House. C. H. Averill of this city is doing a thriving business as the Nebraska representative of Kraemer & Co. of Rcadiug,Pa., manufacturers of woolen and cotton goods. The advantages in dealing at Kra mer's aro these : All goods are mark ed iu plain figures, one price for everybody, the largest stock, the low est prices aud the latest styles. D. L. Brueu sold some Partridge Cochins last summer to Peter Slretter, and this year Peter sold seven of them for nine dollars. Who says raising poultry don't pay in Nebraska. Remember that the Columbus Drug Store is the Old Reliable, where you get just what you want, nothing substituted. Prescription work a specialty. Dowty, Weaver, & Co. Elsewhere we publish the sub stance of amendments to the school laws, as to who may vote, length of time school shall be taught (very im portant), election of members for city boards, etc. Wm. Routson was working at one of the sprinklers the other day, getting it ready for service. Just think of it, dusty roads and streets here, and snow, slush and mud in nearly all the states east of us! Hon. W. A. McAllister tells us that the bill introduced by Senator Brown of Douglas county, making an appropriation of $10,000 for the pur chase of machinery for prospecting for coal, etc., did not become a law. Louis Peterson was found dead in the public road near Lost Creek Friday week. He wa9 returning home from Columbus, and it is supposed that he fell from his wagon, breaking his ceck when he struck the ground. A Polander, whose name we did not learn, living near Dr. Edwards's, on Sunday last lost his stable, two horses, cow and calf, and a hog, all the stock he had. A spark from the house chimney lit upon the roof of the stable. Those farmers contemplating the' erection of barns for cattle, should see J. H. Meyer's if they are in doubt as to how they want their barns made. In his he has convenient divisions for housing the large stock separate from the calves, and also places for storing hay, and a passage-way for wagon and team. Win. Matson in discussing the question of seed corn says that he has not found trouble in Nebraska with seed as compared with Illinois, and that the germ has to be very poor here not to grow. In his immediate neighborhood there was a good show er of rain when the corn was filling that made it plump, full and good. The written work of the public schools will be arranged in order in the several rooms Friday next. The rooms will open to patrons and others feeling an interest in the matter, from 2 to 4 o'clock p. m. This iB a some what new feature in school work, and it is hoped that parents and others will call at the rooms aud examine the work at the time named. Mr. Musgrave tells ns that of grains of corn which he took from ears selected as he generally has for seed, it all grew well. He will try an experiment on a larger scale. He believes, however, that his corn of last year's growth is thoroughly good for seed. Like all other good farmers, he believes in having no reasonable doubt about a matter of so much im portance. Dan Reagan, for assaulting Frank Paproski at Platte Center, was found guilty by a jury and fined $5.00 by Justice Shaffer. The costs and fine amounted to $70. A citizen of that neighborhood thinks the fine of $5 00 is very little, considering that the as sault was unprovoked and outrageous, Paproski being beat about the face, aud kicked in the ribs, so that he has not been able to work until Monday. Wiggins (not our John) claimB that his storm prophecy has been lit erally fulfilled, and believes hundreds of thousands of lives have been des troyed on the shores of the Bay of Bengal by tidal wave on the 10th, a small edition of which, he claims, 6truck this continent. He claims he iB able to foretell 6torms, heat, cold, and high tides. Wiggins will be in big demand about the Fourth of July. John Heitkemper has removed his grocery to the corner of 11th and Madison streets. Thanking bis nu merous customers for their patronage, he desires to call their attention to the fact that in his new, commodious establishment he will be better able to serve them, and would be glad to have them call. To all others, he de sires to say, call and be convinced that he will sell the best of groceries for the lowest jiving profits. Notwithstanding that occasion ally we have a coo! breeze from the north, it is the general opinion that we are to have an early spring, and therefore it is well for farmers to get implements in order for the spring work; see that plows, seeders, har rows, etc. are in good repair ; mend the harness, and give the horses that are to do the work extra care and attention that they maybe In excel lent trim. Joseph Curren, who nsed to be in Columbus very often in the olden times, paid onr burg a visit one day last week and of course called on the Journal office. From Mr. Curren's conversation we would infer that Polk county is not behind the rest of Nebraska in her material welfare, and a little ahead of the general average in prospects political. Things are not altogether as they used to be, accord ing to Joseph. A social party was given by Mrs. H. C. Mowrey in honor of Miss Mc Gee, of Massachusetts, a cousin of Mrs. Mowrey, at her residence near the court house. Invitations were ac cepted by about twenty-five of her frieuds. The evening was enjoyed very much, the time being spent so cially and ending with a first-class supper. The several entertainments given by this lady during the winter are evideuces of a superior talent in the art of entertaining. We beliove we have not hereto fore mado a note of the fact that it is reported that coal oil has been discov ered on the water drawn from a well in Salem, Richardson county. We are getting a little excited over these con tinuous reports of coal indications, and appearances of oil, and must ex press the desire, which we have in common with Nebraskans generally, that work be hurried up and investi gations go deeper into the bowels of the earth, to the end that faith may be swallowed up of knowledge. R. W. Gregg of Genoa was in town Thursday and called at the Journal office on business. In con versation with him we learned that there are two companies at Genoa, prospecting for coal, one of them on Mr. Gregg's farm, east of the Beaver, the other about half a mile from Genoa and west of the Beaver. The latter are down 100 feet. At 20 feet they struck a soft, white limestone, to which they have sunk a shaft about eight feet square. From that down they have been going through slate and soapstone. They have strong faith that there is coal below them at no great distance. Iu company with Hon. Guy Bar num the other day we made the rounds of the corn cribs in town, and examined some of the best ears we could find, and out of some sixty we found but one that we thought would grow. Those who have not carefully looked at their corn will be very much surprised to find so many of the germs of last - year's growth absolutely worthless. Nebraska corn of '82 looks well and is good for feed, excellent, but the germs are mostly destroyed. We had the opportunity of examining the germs under Dr. Schug's very powerful miscroscope, and they pre sent the appearance of having been frozen aud thawed a mushy look. Those of ub who have had any expe rience whatever in re-planting, on account of poor seed, know very well that it is the worst kind of -an invest ment. At last we can have the electric light where it can do the most good. That is to say we can put it now on our desks, on our tables, on our mantel-pieces, anywhere in fact where a clear, bright, 6afe lighter is wanted. The portable electric lighter, patented in 1879 and again in 1882, is now be fore us, and we look at it with sur prise and happiness. Surprise, be cause it is evident how great a pro gress we have made in the science of electricity ; happinesB, because it gives a clearer, belter, more movable light than any we have ever enjoyed. Here is a lamp, so called, occupying only the space of five square inches, which can be carried anywhere, and is be sides an ornament. By simply press ing npon the knob to the full extent of the spring (which connects with the battery) an electric current is pro duced by which the spiral of platinum is heated to incandescence and the light is instantaneous. The material lasts about two months and can then be renewed at a small cost through any chemist. It will not belong be fore everybody will have a portable electric lighter. The price, 5, is so low that it cannot fail to become pop ular at once. The principal office is at 22 Water street, Boston, where all applications for this most novel lamp should be sent. New York Heal Es tateChronicle. Dec. 16, 1882. 1 flatter ! Cteaeral. Clear Creek, Polk Co., Neb.,) March 8tb, 1S83. Editor Journal : I will drop you a few lines from Clear Creek to keep me out of mischief for a few minutes, as I believe that I am possessed with some evil spirit and think that I might as well work a little of it off in writing a few lines to the Journal. I took a trip to Belwood last week ; on my way down I went by the great Butler county coal mines, but I failed to see any coal, so I made up my mind that we would have to resort to some other method for cheap fuel. I do not see what has become of that retort business that was in opera tion a year or so ago in Columbns, that was going to burn up all the surplus water in Nebraska in connec tion with a tew barrels of Pennsylva nia naptba; water has been quite plentiful this spring and the Colum bus Retort Co. are letting it all go to waste by having their water and oil burner laid np on the shelf to dry. Bellwood is a lively little town, and there seems to be an immense busi ness done there in the coru trade for there are scores of cribs filled to the tops with thousands of bushels of corn. Phil. Walker, who used to be one. of the. brass button force in Co Inmbus, cuts quite a lively figure in the grain trade at Bellwood. I was up to Osceola this week ; found the roads in quite good condi tion, and in some places perfectly dry. I saw dozens of farmers husking corn as I drove along; stock of all kinds look well in this locality. I attribute this to the good judgment of Polk county farmers in not being afraid to feed a few bushels of 30-cent coru to their stock. In my opinion there is only one way to raise first-class stock, and that is to give them first-class care. People in this part of Nebraska are a little slow in getting started in a good breed of cattle and hogs. They put it off from year to year. I sup pose they think tnat they will be more able after a while, but they are losing precious time. It is better to keep a less number and better quali ty. It would pay some of our scrub stock raisers to go on the Big Island and have a little talk with Shep Ray mond in regard to good cattle. He can give them a few lessons that will be beneficial to them be has a few very nice specimens of the short-horn breed on Mr. Abner Turner's ranche, and it seems to do the fat man good to show his neighbors the difference between good and poor stock. Now we will give you a little chin music on the bridge question. It is the general inquiry on this side of the Platte, when you meet a man since the bridge has been taken out, "Well, where are you going to go, now, to get to market, you cannot get to Co lumbus ?" And the answer is, "Well, we can go to Bellwood or to Osceola or to Duacan." It is surprising to the natives to think that the amount of enterprise that Columbus and Platte county have credit of will put off building a good substantial draw bridge that will laud a customer safe and sound in Columbus 365 days in a year. I should think that the Colum bus business men would havo the peace and quiet of their midnight slumbers disturbed by dreams of hearing tho creaks aud rattles of that old rattle-trap of a temporary bridge that has to be pulled out every few days and laid up on the bank to dry. I should tbiuk that they could see hundreds of loads of grain drive up to the bank of the river where the bridge ought to be and turn for Bell wood, there to dispose of their load and give the Bellwood merchant the many silver dollars that Columbus is losing while their bridge is piled up to rest. As the old saying is, "Speak well of a bridge that carries you safe over," but what will you say of a bridgo that has beeu all carried over to the other side? Hoping that I shall have better judgment than to wear tho soles off from my shoes in counting the ties from tho railroad bridge to Columbus, I remain yours with respect, Geo. E. Barnum.
