John Early's terra cotta hat was sent him as a present by Mr. Niemol ler of Platte Center, as a match for his mustache. John poses now as a bru nettethe Niemoller hat, is, we think, a shade too dark for John's com plexion. On Monday of last week Frank Mead who lives a half mile south of the Loup railroad bridge, lost by fire his stable, team of horses, granary with about 300 bushels of corn, &c. ; by great exertion he saved about one third of his corn. His loss is esti mated at $500; no insurance. Last week A. Haas made up a train of eleven cars of fat cattle here, that he had purchased of Becker & Welch, C. E. Morse, Ed. Graham and Abner Turner. In four weeks Mr. Hass had shipped 33 cars. Five years ago there were only twelve cars shipped from this station during the season. Mrs. Paynter of the Occidental Hotel at Omaha, some months ago while returning from this city to Omaha with her children, who had been on a visit, was badly injured on a U. P. train and confined to her bed for a long time ; last week she brought suit against the company for $30,000 damages. T. Keating, an honest, hard-working farmer, complains against general fate that while himself and the preacher, after 25 or 30 shots apiece, can only get one lone single brant or snipe, other fellows can come from town, and without any particular effort, get ducks aad geese by the wholesale. H. Guilee of Woodvills war in town Saturday aad gave as a pleasant call. He says that there are six dwelling houses aad two barns being erected in their precinct this spring; that N. French has sold his farm ; that the farmers are in a flourishing con dition, their small grain mostly in, aad attention turned to corn aad flax. After fanners have had several years experience with creamery ways, they will see the great profit there is In taking the calf away from the cow as soon as possible. What are called stack cows (those left to raise their young by their side) do not make the best milch cows unless, iadeed, in an exceptional case where one cow is allowed to raise two calves. Munger has received a car load and a half of furniture, including the nicest ever brought to Columbas. If yon want anythiag in that line call upon him. "Handsome, splendid" is the exclamation of the ladies. Pic tores, picture frames, parlor setts, book cases, writing desks, bnreans, tables, chairs of all kinds aad the thousand articles of beauty aad use that tend to make home a comfortable aa4 happy plaeeef abed.

Slssle of Ohio; Peter Smith to Pat Killen, 200 acres in 35, 18, 2w ; Hanney Bros, to Backenhus, 80 acres. Mrs. 8. C. Cooley will preach next Sunday morning, 11 o'clock, at the Congregational church; in the evening there will be a union meeting at the same place, and Mrs. Cooley will deliver a sermon on the subject of temperance. Some of onr readers will remember her as the lady who made a few remarks on a kindred subject at the last state teachers' asso ciation. She is a worker in the Christian Temperance Union. E. Huebner of Humphrey was in the city Monday. He lost on Friday last by prairie fire, a stable, and some piles of manure hauled out on his farm, and if some neighbors had not come to the rescue, his dwelling might have burned also. Himself and wife were away from home, and aa employe was at work ia a field when the fire swept op. It is impos sible to be too careful about fire, and, in a closely settled community, espe cially, the legal notice should be given. The new city fathers have been inducted into office. Mayor Macfar land announced his appointment of committees we give the chairmen; streets and grades, Smith; finance, Rickly; public property, Becher; police, Hays ; judiciary, North ; fire, North ; claims, Ragatz; sidewalks and bridges, Smith; privileges and elec tions, Ragatz; printing, Rickly. Councilman Rickly was elected pres ident for the ensuing year; J. J. Sul livan was appoiated City Attorney ; M. E. Clother, chief of police and C. .Brindley, Sr., overseer. M. R. Crouse, Esq., of New Mar tinsville, West Va is stopping a few days with his friend and acquaintance James Cresap, and gave the Journal a pleasant call last Saturday. He has projected a trip northward Into Dakota and westward, spying out the land, with intent to give to the people of West Virginia, facts, figures and pen pictures of this western country. They, like other people east, are be ginning to find out a great many ad vantages that a farmer here has over him who uses a side-bill plow, and works around amoag stones, stomps and roots. The Journal takes sincere pli nro io announcing to its readers that the celebrated Remenyi will be in this city Monday, April 23d, and, as sisted by H. Louise Warner, soprano, Mr. Edmond De Celle, tenor, and Mr. Adolph Bauer, pianist, will give one of his never-to-be-forgotten en tertainments. The press everywhere speaks in the highest praise of Rem enyi. The N. Y. Herald eays: "He is master of his instrument. It glows, and burns, and flames under his mas ter hand." The N. Y. Telegram: "One of the few in whom the sacred fire has been lighted, and in whom it has reached the fullness of its blaze." The London Times: "He is absolute ly unsurpassable." Remenyi is the most famous living violinist. A Bnddea Call. Charles Asher, son-in-law of Joseph Gardner, who lived four miles east of Silver Creek, while burning some old grass on one of his fields, Monday, fell down near the fire. Geo. Jones, who was working near by, saw him fall, and as soon as he could tie his team, and get to Mr. Asher, did so, but found him dead ; his pants legs were afire, and while the boy dragged the man along to get him out of the fire, the stubble caught fire after him, making matters worse ; the boy then tried to whip out the fire with a sack, but notwithstanding bis greatest efforts all the clothing of the man, ex cept a piece of the shirt collar and boots, was burned off him, and his body fearfully scorched. The boy's hands were badly blistered. Mr. Asher bad for the last three years been subject to fainting- spells caused by heart disease, aod had, on Monday forenoon, been prostrated by one of these. Whether he had been suddenly struck down by the disease, or whether the Inhalation of flame had killed him is not known, probably the former. Mr. Asher was 50 years old, and leaves a wife and four children, be sides four step-children to mourn his departure. is Platte Canter. Last Friday morning onr commu nity was excited over the report that burglars bad been at work at Platte Center the night before and secured a thousand dollars the amount de creased, as the rumor was traced down, and $185 was ascertained to be the sum extracted by the thieves. We get the following particulars from Sheriff Kavanaugh. A three-eighths inch hole was drill ed into the safe at the office of North k Bra, powder inserted, the door blown off; the cash box taken out, carried off a few rods, opened, and thrown aside near Kehoe's elevator. Nothing was stolen except the money. The drill had beea taken from Bloe dorn's blacksmith shop. A brace ia the office where the safe was had evi deatly beea nted. A team of horses bad been let loose, aad a pair of bri dles taken, doabtless to create the impression that the barglars had rode off. The impression is, from the man ner in which the job was executed, that it was the work of non-professionals, and that the burglar or bar glars are yet ia Platte Center. An arrest was asade Friday, era stranger who had been ia. the town a few weeks, bot there being aothiag in the natare of proof against him, he was net detained. Written for the Journal. HER STORY. BY "MAKULA." Well, it isn't much of a story, But I thought it over to-day As I listened to that sermen: A powerful sermon you say? I thought so, but maybe I'm partial. You're a stranger, sir, and don't know That the preacher you heard this morning Is my boy, my oldest, my Joe. Twas a dark, dreary night in November, Tho' inside 'twas all warm and bright, And the children bad played by the fire, Till I tucked them up snugly for the night; And William dozed over his paper. The warmth made him sleepy, he said, So he wound up the clock slow and reg'lar And started off early for bed.. I had worked hard all day and was tired, But didn't feel ready to go, So I thought I would finish my mending, And keep up the fire for Joe. I mended, and listened, and waited, With a prayer in my heart for ay child, or joe waa so Kina ana good-neartea, But the neighbors said he was wild. I mended, and listened, and waited; The clock ticked the hours away And spitefully rung out reminders Of the time and now late Joe did stay; Only fire minutes till midnight! My heart with fear almost stood still, I urew back t e window curtain And placed the lamp on the eill. utside, it was dark as a pocket The light shone out full and clear, For I thought, if he only sees it, He will know I'm waiting here. Then I made some nice fresh coffee And got the bread ready to toast And some of Joe's favorite cookies And some bits that were left from the roast. You may think it is strange I remember Such trifles through all these long years, But it comes to me now so clearly, That night and my anxious fears. My Joe was uneasy and restless, Quick-tempered and passionate too And what in the heat of the moment Might he reckless, defiantly do! I watched, and listened, and waited, Till at last, on jny eager ear, Fell the welcome sound of footsteps So slowly drawing near. At the gate they halted a minute, My heart felt like a stone; For what if the worst had happened My boy could'nt come home alone. I seemed so long as I waited, And everything seemed to spin, When the door swung hastily open And Joe and three others came Is. There was pretty Fred Howard.an orphan. And George, from the houi c on the hill, And the Deacon's boy, smart, clever Charlie. They came in, all sober and still. Well, I tried to act easy and natural, And got Fred to toasting the bread And gave them a cup of hot coffee, The best in the world, Charlie said. But Joe said he did'nt feel hungry, I knew he bad something to say; So when they had finished their supper 1 started to clear it away. He said: "I was down at the Syren, 'Twas where I'd no business to be; But nothing can alter or change It, I played with that scoundrel, Bill Lee. We played fair and square, I was winning Bill suddenly rose to his feet, And hissed out the words so Insulting, No wonder you're lucky you cheat.' I couldn't stand that and I knocked him ; For a minute I felt like Cain, But soon the confounded coward Was up on his pegs again, But he had bad one lesson, So' he didn't wait fore more, But sneaked along shamefacedly And sidled out the door. Then all at once I remembered How long I had been away, And thought perhaps you were waiting, As you otten do when I stay: So I found the bors and we started And as we came up by the mill The blessed light from your window Shone out o'er the long dark hill. It seemed as if there was one more chance To do what I knew was right. And I resolved right then and there To trv with all my might." He stopped, his voice all choked with tears. Poor Fred was sobbing outright, While Charlie and George looked pale and calm As if ready for fight. Well, I never was much at speeching. But I kissed them with thankful tears, And said a few words, though broken, To One who always hears. I tried to comfort and soothe them, Then sent them off to bed, And at last on my own soft pillow I lay my weary head. Next morning I remember 1 felt so sick and weak, Not able to rise or moye about Too tired to think or speak; But'twas worth a hundred anxious nights Or a hundred years of woe To think that now in God's good way I bad helped those boys and Joe. There was many a hard fought battle And many a victory won As the noble work was carried on, Which they that night begun. Well, it is'nt much of a story. But, yes, you may write it down For some bright boy may read it As he starts to go down town. And if he will only remember The ones who watch and wait. Who watch and wait and pray and weep, When he stays away too late! Beperf of the sHaaaarlc School. School at this place closed on the 12tb, but only for a short time, as a spring and summer term will begin on the 23d, by the same teacher who has taught the two preceding terms. Number of months taught, five, 100 days. Number of pupils enrolled during the term, thirty-two. Greatest number of days attended by any pu pil was ninety-two by Charles Wilson, average attendance, seventeen. Those whose deportment was ten doringtbe whole term were Charles Wilson, Laura Butler, Daisy Swortsel, Maud Moore and Lizzie Sholz. The school closed with declama tions from all the pupils, essays by Misses Laura Butler, subject "Work and Play," and Sybel Butler, subject "The last day of School," which was a very touching piece. Song by Alice and Ella Swortsley, title "Birdie's Ball," also song by the school, title "Adieu." Quite a number of persons were present to listen to the closing exer cises, among whom were Misses Annie George, Mary Turner, Anna Turner, Belle Swortsley, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Weiss hand, Messrs. C. W. Getts, Andrew Matthis, John Swortsley and John Saafeld. Remarks were made by Messrs. Matthis, Getts and Swortsley. Presents were distributed to all the pupils, suited to their age and wants. The next term will open with some new improvements on the house and a new unabridged dictionary. This is what every school house ought to own. Mr. Editor I want to say some thing of education through yoor pa per at some future time if yoo will allow me a small space for that par pose. C. J. Gablow, Teacher. N.-B. I forgot to state ia the for mer part of my report that I received some very nice presents from Misses Ella and Daisy Swortsley, Lanra and Sybil Butler. Hnntnnrey. Last Saturday was a dismal day with its rain and mod. Mr. Jacob Fisher will adorn his place this week with a wind mill. Farmers are scarce in town, due to the spriug weather and lateness in getting in crops. Daniel Waghn and bride are stop ping at the Granville House ; they did not miss the serenade, thanks to Capt. Lambert. Among the late arrivals are Mr. Wm. Eimers and Mr. T. K. Ottis, who have been away for nearly two weeks to Chicago on busiaess. We also chronicle the arrival of Mr. Murphy, coasin of T. K. Ottis. who is going in busiaess with him. The new Arm will read Ottis & Murphy. There is to be a brick yard in the outskirts of the town; the parties have bought lead of T. D. Robinson and are going right to work, we un derstand. Colfax Coanty. From the Schuyler Sun. A sow belonging to Andrew Erb, Shell Creek precinct, gave -birth Sun day night to a litter of pigs one of which had two separate and distinct snouts or noses. General opinion estimates the area being sown to wheat this spring in Colfax county is less than in any sea son for the past five years. Most of the farmers aim to sow no more than will supply them with breadstuff. We hear it said that Henry Schutte, of Shell Creek precinct, has lost dur ing the past two weeks twelve year lings from a disease supposed to be blackleg; which disease has also ex tended to the herds of 6ome of his neighbors. Frequent cases of the pinkeye are reported among the horses through out the country. Nathan Moore lost a valuable animal by the disease. If the complaint becomes prevalent it will prove seriously detrimental to the season's farming operations. W. J. Belnay and J. A. Phillips, ot Platte county, took out from Schuyler Saturday morning two milk wagons and two loads of cans to be distribut ed among the farmers in the vicinity of Platte Center, all to be used in the interest of the Schuyler creamery. Mrs. David English, ot Richland precinct, it is feared, will become totally insane. Indeed, her case has been reported to the commission but no action has been taken as yet. It is said she eings, dances and prays, and that her derangement seemingly is a pleasurable one. Peat OSMce.
