E. A. Gerrard has invented a
post-hole or socket that promises to
be a good thing. It is to be made of,
j cast iron, with flanges where it enters
' the ground ; the socket, into which a

is to be about a foot in depth. This
iron post-socket can be driven into

Monday, April 16th, the ninth
anniversary of the birthday of Euiilla,
daughter of Will T. Rickly, was duly
celebrated by a number of her little
friends, who assembled and had a

On Monday Madame Devault,

The new order at the A. & N. is
that on Monday, April 23d, a paseen-1
ger train was put on between Colum
bus and Lincoln, leaving this place at
8 : 20 in the morning aad returning nt
5:35 in 'the evening. The freight
train leaves here at 4 a. m. The prob
ability is that this arrangement will
be permanent, and it will certainly be
very acceptable to the traveling pub
lic who may have occasion to make
the trip.
A friend at Kalamazoo, Madison
county, NeU, writes that the country
in that vicinity is improving very
fact since last fall by the erection of
many new hooses and a goodly num
ber of Darns and wind mills until
things put n the appearance of an
old country around here. There is as
nice a piece of twenty acres of timo
thy on the Jenkins farm as any one
would wish to see anywhere. It was
sown last spring and plenty of good
seed put on the ground.
A fall house greeted Remenyi and
his three assistants Monday evening,
and the audience were not slow in
showing their appreciation of the
great artiit's talent. While listening
to some of his plaintive strains, one is
tempted to think that, after all, the
violin is the only mnsical instrument
worth mentioning. Remenyi certain
ly draws a master bow over the in
strument, and has the ability, common
with genius in all lines, of holding an
audience as by a spell nntil he is done
with his work.
The American Agriculturist for
May has a suggestion that if horses,
cattle and sheep could have salt for
them to lick or nibble at, as they de
sire, while in stable,, yard or pasture,
they would escape various di sanies
and be more thrifty and asefnl than
when deprived af it, or eves given
irregularly. The rock salt that comes
in large lumps, aad may be bought at
low rates by the tea, is excellent for
live stock. Boxes for this salt may
be arranged by the sides of the man
gers and in the pasture.
A Butte City paper gives an ac
count of 250 men, women and chil
dren arriving there recently from
Missouri. Before starting the men
-had been aesared that there was
abundance of work to be had at $3.50
to 5 per day for any kind of labor.
A smooth, plausible talker had be
guiled these folks in Missouri, aad
many of them had borrowed money
to get away, rney Know of no ,
earthly motive the man could have t
had except as the employe of rail-'
roads, that wanted to get fare for
their travel.
"I would like to know, says a
patron of the public schools who is
himself opposed to dancing, whether
the school board have a right to give
the use of the building to a party of
dancers. He suggests that school j
houses in the country are generally I
used for church meetings, social gath- j
erings of various kinds, debating
clubs, literary and musical clubs, etc,
but thinks the line ought to be drawn
somewhere and proposes that it be on
the dancing. We respectfully refer
the subject to Sunt. Moncrief with a
request to report at his earliest con
venience. The American Agriculturist for
May has the first word in favor of the
crow, that we ever remember seeing
in print. In Northern gardens, the
white-grub is, on the whole, the most
injurious insect, when we consider
the great variety of plants it attacks,
ranging from grass to nursery tree,
and its work being beneath the sur
face, is-uot suspected until the injury
is done. The crow has a keenness of
sense that allows him to detect the
unseen presence of the white-grab,
and a fondness for a fat morsel that
induces him to capture it. Don't kill
the crows.
On Tuesday of last week a Polan
der by the name of Chris. Gamba,who
was a renter of a few acres of land aad
a small house on G. G. Bowman'r
farm east of the city, committed sui
cide by hanging himself with a rope.
A child had been born to one of the
neighbors, and, as is caatomary among
the Polanders, there was great rejoic
ing, the joy in the case of the now
deceased Gamba, taking the direction
of distilled "happiness." He became
crazed with liquor, and, in the absence
of his wife at Richland a few hours,
he committed the deed that carried
his spirit hence. She found him hang
ing dead, and cut the rope. No other
cause than the above is known for the
man's craziness, which was evidenced
in various ways before he hanged
himself.
Buffalo Bill went west Saturday
night. He is expected to return to
day to look after his show which is to
open the season at Omaha on the 13th
of May. It is to be an oat-door en
tertainment exclusively, intended to
give eastern people a correct picture
of life in the far west, a sort of his
torical' drama, snowing the Indians
with their squaws, tepees, dogs, po
nies. There will be Indian dances,
sports and sham battles; shooting
contests, buffalo hunts, etc. It is said
that twenty Texan cow boys and
twenty Mexican vaqneros will ac
company the show, aad give exhibi
tions of their skill in the riding of
ponies and the handling of cattle.
We predict for the combination great
success. The show concerns a very
interesting subject, it is novel, and
the reputation of the men having it ia
charge assures the pablic of a good
entertainment. Hon. W. F. Cody,
Hon. Frank North, Dr. W. F. Carver,
Capt. Bogardus and Oklahoma Payne,
are mentioned as among the special
ists, each noted in his line. Omaha
will have a big crowd if the weather
nmppens to fine.
The David City Press publishes
the market reports with the follow
ing paragraph: "These prices are
subject to change at the dictation of
the railroads. The report is for oue
day only." The Press deals in gen
eralities. Can it not condescend to
give some particulars? Folks out
side of David City have a little curi
osity to know just how this thing is
done, why it is done, and which rail
road is doiag it. The intelligent
world learns by the experience of
others, and we beg of the Prest, in
the interest of the general public, to
let a little more light shine hither-
ward.
If newspaper proprietors every
where weald act upon the principle
that the rental of newspaper space is
a easiness as mach as the rental of
land, there would be a difference in
the way the public regard them. So
tar as the JocnsAL is concerned, we
want ao man's patronage on the
theory of 'not that it does me any
good, bat I want to help along the
paper." Ton wouldn't buy your gro
ceries, yoar dry-goods, your provi
sions "jest to help along the business
man," but for your own benefit. No
self-respecting newspaper proprietor
will be found "begging" for "aid," but,
on the contrary, working in all hon
orable ways for business interests
upon its merits, and then it will quit
this incessant and sickening begging
that now seems so common as to be
all but universal.
Crestos, April 19th, 1383.
Ma. Editor: In the Journal of
April 11th I notice an article signed
"For the Bight" where the writer
wishes some information in regard to
the Alliance and its objects. Now,
Mr. Editor, as tbe constitution and
platform in full would be quite a
lengthy article and put you to con
siderable trouble and expense to pub
lish it, I do not like to ask you to do
it, bnt will in as few words as possible,
state its main objects.
The Alliance is to work for laws
compelling railroad companies to rate
their charges on the cost aad risk of
service, with a fair profit added in
stead of the new theory advanced by
them what the traffic will bear;
efficient laws against the crime of
bribery and for the protection of the
parity of the ballot ; a pnblic service
foaaded on capacity, and integrity;
more favorable agricultural legisla
tion ; equitable taxation ; equal rights
in transportation ; cheaper and better
administration of the laws ; more res
pect for the true wants of the people
and a more thorough representation
in the halls of state legislatures and
congress. These are its main objects
as short as I can make them, and if
the writer of the article referred to
wishes the constitution and platform
in fall, he can get it by sending his
address to Niels Olson,
Creston P. O., Platte Co.. Neb.

cattle en route from Kansas to Dako

Mr. Thomas O'Neil lost last Satur
day by fire, his stable, nearly 100
bushels of oats, harness, etc. Cause,
supposed to have been sparks from
stove pipe from the house. Mrs.
O'Neil, assisted by R. Bauman, saved
the team.
Wedneeday evening of last week
there came a. man from the train and
stopped at P. Stefee hotel, with a
leather bottle cohtaiaing numbered
balls ; he opened up a game ; some
were losers, some gainers, as usual.
The next morning, however, brought
the fun as deputy sheriff Newman
was in town on some business, and
tbe great bottle shaker was informed
that the deputy was looking him up.
He determined to leave town as soon
as possible ; hired a conveyance to
Madison, but through your corres
pondent's love of tun and help of
Sherwood he was induced to start a
foot to meet the wagon out of the
county limits. C.
Corn is to be found in some fields
yet.
Mrs. S. J. Wheeler has been quite
sick of late.
E. E. Mo ran will again attend

Mr. Wolford, who resides in Ohio,
has been visiting here at his son's.
Mr. lverson has purchased a wind
mill, which he will soon have erected

T. J. Cosby, C. D. Cosby and C.
Spaur and families, all bf Granville,
nave gone to Dakota.
Miss Maria J. Miles; we have been
informed, has contracted to teach tbe
Center Creston school.
Mr. Eltzrotb, who has lately arriv
ed, has erected a neat dwelling on bis
farm north of Mr. Matsea's.
Some of our teachers are becoming
alarmed at the result of the examina
tion lately held at Humphrey. We
have heard that oaly two oat of the
six applicants received certiicaUe.
A large prairie In in Granville
Sunday, which passed over fire lines,
roads, etc, as though they were placed
there for to increase its speed, came
very nearly burning the buildings of
Mr. Palmer, and also would have
burned Mr. White's, and Mr. Rowe's
had it not been for a strip of breaking
that checked its fury, and thus gave
as opportunity fcr fighting the mon
ster. A man who will ignite the
grass such a windy day ought to be
taken into custody by the law, and
taught a lesson which reason, so far,
has failed to teach them.
The spring term of our school began
Monday with an attendance of twenty
pupils, and with a fair prospect of in
creasing that number to thirty, as
quite a number who intend to go have
not yet come. It certainly would be
doing an injustice to the district board
to close without noting the Improve
ments they have made during the
winter. The first one that is likely to
attract one's attention is tbe beautiful
white coat that tbe building, with
green window-blinds, wears. After
we cross tbe threshold some maps,
and some charts, entitled Home Sweet
Home, The GloriourWest, and Noah's
Ark stare us in the face from the
opposite walls. Next we will be apt
to see that some varnish has been ap
plied to tho desks, aad wood-work,
which is painted in imitation of ash.
Then if we peer into the left hand
corner of the room we will there see
stationed a wash-stand, with basin,
soap and towel, which implores the
dirty-fingered urchin to wash and
postpone the painting of that white
page for another day. And if our
curiosity will prompt us to unlock a
square box that is situated in another
corner, we will behold a fine repre
sentation or model of the globe. The
people of Creston appreciate the
work which has been done, and, we
dare say, after a Webster's Unabridg
ed Dictionary has been procured, and
a coal shed built, this will be one of
the best furnished school houses in
the county, outside of Columbus. Too
much cannot be said in favor of mak
ing the school room attractive, and we
sincerely hope that other districts
with unpainted houses and mapless
walls will follow the example of the
Creston board. But do not condemn
your teacher, or become alarmed, if
he should fail to possess a magnetic
charm sufficiently strong to entice
your Tommy and Susie into an SxlO
hut, (miscalled school house) without
a proper seat, and not a pleasant sight
within the whole room.
