We are in receipt of an anony mous commnnication containing three, one-cent stamps, which the writer can have by calling at this office. M. D. Thurston of this city was elected Vice President of the State Dental Association, at its meeting last week. The State Dental Society met at Lincoln May 22d. We notice that Mr. Thurston of this city was to pre sent "Some thoughts on sponge gold as a filling." A cyclone cloud was seen hang ing in air northeast of Columbus Thursday evening, but if any damage was done by it, it must have been in some other county. The body of I. J. Summers, a car penter of Kearney, was found in his yard Sunday morning, with a bullet hole through bis head. Supposed to have been murdered for money.

Meyer orders his Journal from Columbus post-office, 15 miles away, instead of at BoheetX of a mile away on an air line, but 2) miles on the public highway, and he is not the only one. We were told Saturday that the new school board had not yet met. There are some things that we hear considerable talk over that need atten tion if one-tenth of what is aaid has any foundation in fact. P. W. Henrich is very much pleased with Denver and surround ings, and thinks he shall probably remain some time. Business of all kinds, he says, is good, and everybody seems to be doing well. If you want a suit for a boy or a mau, and you want a nice nobby arti cle, and you want it to give you satis faction, and the price to be very reas onable, you must go to Kramer's New York Cheap Cash Store. The Nebraska Sunday School Assembly is to be held at Crete June 25lh to July 3d. A circular has been issued setting forth the facts in re gard to transportation, accommoda tion, expenses, recreation, supplies, music, &c. We give a full and corrected list of the soldiers whose graves are to bo decorated to-day: Edward Ar nold, Solomon Edwards, B. Hunt, R. B. Mclntyre, E. D. Sheehan, James Jones, W. H. Thomas, Geo.

Call and see his stock, for yon will be sure to see something you need. The Journal goes to press Tues day evenings, and therefore we can have no account of the concert given by the Maennerchor. Their enter tainments have always been first-claBs, and there is every reason to believe that this one will be the best of all. James Galbraith of Albion met with quite a serious accident about a week ago, a young colt kicking him just above the left eye, knocking him senseless to the ground. The Argus says that, coming out after several days, he presented a decidedly pugil istic appearance. A number of contributions amounting to over $100 have been made to the fund which is to be ten dered to Frank Mead to reimburse him somewhat from his recent loss by fire. Frank will no doubt feel good over the fact that all his neighbors think well of him. Abont the liveliest couple of pol iticians in this country are Hon. Guy C. Barnum and his son-in-law G. W. Barnbart, the former a rock-rooted Jacksonian democrat, and the latter one of the stauncbest republicans that Btand like the granite bills against the democratic billows. F. M. Cookingham is our author ized agent at Humphrey for soliciting subscription, advertising and job work. Business entrusted to him will receive the same attention as if done direct with us. Call on him, give him your home work and your home news, use him well, and he will grow apace. tf M. K. Turner & Co. We have been requested to again state that members of the different alliances in the county would like to see the proceedings of each meeting published, also the time and place, set for the next meeting, so that the peo ple may know what the alliance are doing. The Lincoln Journal remarks that the supreme court hare decided that the bonds issued by Butler county to the Lincoln & Northwestern R. R. Co., amounting to something like $25,000, ought not be paid by the tax payers. We have not seen the grounds of the decision anywhere stated. David E. Smith, a young boy who formerly lived at Blair, stole a horse near Wayne, Neb., on the 21st was captured at Platte Center in the even ing, returned on the morning of the 22d, was indicted, plead guilty, and was sentenced by Judge Barnes to three years in the penitentiary. Im mediately before his arrest he sold the horse, worth $150, for $2. A prairie schooner passed through our streets Friday on the cover of which was painted in nice black let ters "Dakota or bust." As it was not headed northward, the amended device on the outer walls was readily accounted for, "In Dakota we bust ed," very strict economy being prac ticed by utilizing all the old device that could be worked into the new. We asked no questions. In a decision rendered last week in the supreme court, in the case of Traver v. Merrick county, opinion by Maxwell, J., Cobb, J. dissenting, the following was held : "A water grist mill erected for pnblic use, the rates of toll to be determined by the county commissioners, and being subject to regulation by the legislature, is a work of internal improvement within the meaning of the act of 1869, and bonds voted to aid in its constrnction are valid." There are a good many misappre hensions in regard to assessment of taxes, and among these is the notion that it is a part of the business of the owner to assess the value of his prop erty. If the matter is examined into (and we refer to it because some of our exchanges have wrongly viewed it) it will be found that the oath sub scribed by the owner is in regard to listing the property, and not as to its valuation the assessor is elected to assess the property. The Nebraska Farmer, looking over Uncle Samuel's large cornfield, comes to the conclusion that the crop of 'S3 is by no means a certainty, and advises those who have a supply suf ficient to run them over to keep it. " We do not mean," continues the Farmer, to say that the 1883 crop is to be a failure ; on the contrary we think the prospect fair for an average crop, yet there are indications for a very light crop, and it is always best to be prepared for an emergency." A. A. Smith and family leave the city next week, for Atlantic, Iowa, where Mr. Smith goes into the drug business with N. G. Bonesteel, also formerly of this place. Both are ex cellent business men, and Mr. Smith has been recognized everywhere he has been in the business the last twenty-two years ns a first-class drug gist, having thorough knowledge of medicines, and being very conscien tious and painstakingi The Journal commends the firm to the good graces of the people of Atlantic. At the recent term of the district court for Butler county John Arnold was found guilty of setting out prairie fire, and was fined $10 and costs, and committed to jail 30 days, the least punishment allowed by statute. The Ulysses Dispatch says : "Judge Post made a very favorable impression during his first term in this county. The lawyers all agree that he is a very able lawyer and an upright man. Besides this, everybody can see that he is a courteous and careful gentle man, and a general hope is expressed that be will be the judge of this dis trict for many years." If reports are true, an Aurora real estate firm was taken in by Isham as badly as was the Platte Valley Bank. It appears the sharper was after two sections of land laying in the bluffs just across the Platte from this city and had signified his inten tion to buy them. The said firm wanted to make a stake, so it bought the 1280 acres at $3.50 per acre In tending to dispose of it to Isham at $5.00. The Hon. Mr. Isham waB sud denly called away and now the Auro ra firm has $4,480 tied up in bluff land which it is liable to hold for a while. Central City Nonpareil. There is no end to the list of cas ualties by cyclones this spring. The recent whirl at Valparaiso is set forth thus by the Ulysses Dispatch: "Eight buildings were demolished, including two school houses. Mrs. Lattan had an arm and leg broken. Her infant was seriously hurt on the head by a flying timber. The damage is esti mated at $5,000. The tornado was about 150 feet wide, and extended about eight miles. Among the pecu liar freaks played may be mentioned that of a horse being carried forty feet into the air, and a mowing ma chine taken up and mashed into a hundred pieces." As the communication concerning Creston alliance gives, in substance, what was published in the Journal last week iu the shape of news, we do not insert that part of it. The writer remarks that "the enthusiasm of the members of the Creston Alliance is as great as it was a year ago, the statements to the contrary notwith standing. The war is still waged againBt monopoly and corruption, overwhelming enemies, to be sure, but foes to the public welfare which must yield at length to the power of right and honesty, if we do net swerve from the path of duty or give up in the heat of the conflict."

Becher, Secretary. School Itesaa. The monthly review passed off in a satisfactory manner, in the main. Teachers and pupils begin to look hopefully forward to the end of the term. After a trying year's work, they have earned and deserve a rest. Projects for vacation are in order. We hear rumors of trips to the Rocky mountains and the coast. It is in contemplation to change entirely the method of business In struction the coming year. The re sults of teaching mere forms are meager and unsatisfactory. It is pro posed to open actual business rela tions between the High School and the higher rooms in the other build ings, using "commercial money," and basing the transactions upon the market reports of the daily papers. A few weeks spent in tbiB way, it is hoped, will improve this "branch of the service." Mr. Carl Kramer takes an active and intelligent interest in the schools as shown by his presence at the teach ers meetings and in the school rooms. He pronounces himself gratified at the work. Col. Chase, mayor of Omaha, is of a very sanguine temperament, as is well known. At a reception of a company of eastern editors recently, the Mayor dilated at considerable length upon the interests, past and prospective, of the great city, to which address Mr. L. G. Halleck, of Win sted, Conn., responded. Tbo Repub lican says: "It was evident that be thought the mayor's prediction as to the population of Omaha being 200, 000 in ten years was a little too lofty, for ho told a rather appropriate story. He said the mayor's figures bad re minded him of the story about the organist at the prayer-meeting who played the accompaniment to 'My soul be on your guard, ten thousaud foes arise.' He broke down at 'arise,' and the singing stopped almost as suddeuly. A broker, in the rear part of the congregation, thinking 'ten thousand foes' was a little too high, sang out, 'Start her at five thousand.' " The train that came down from Norfolk Wednesday morning last might have been a wreck on the way if blind luck had not been in its favor. After the train had arrived, and some switching bad been done by it, and while the boys were doing their work, a car jumped the rails and ran a few feet, bumping along on the ties. When the cause of the accident was looked for, it was found that the flange of one of the wheels was lacking abont one-fourth of its circumference, and the missing part could not be found in the yard or anywhere close by. We are told that a passenger on the train remarked that there was slight bumping sensation when the train was near Platte Center, but there is no telling, as yet, just where the flange left the train. It was truly a fortu nate accident. Two Alliance communications reached us too late for publication last woek. The Grand Prairie Alliance at their next meeting will debate whether farmers should take the lead in politics, D. L. Bruen, affirm ing, and J. S. Freeman offering argu ments in the negative. Speeches were made by Messrs. Goodsom, Red enbaugb, Hoffman, Freeman, Bruen aud others on different subjects in regard to the burdens heaped upon the people. The next meeting takes place at the Redenbaugh school house, June 11th, at 8 p. m. The farmers of Grand Prairie and of Shell Creek pre cinct are very cordially invited to be present. The minutes come to us over the signatures of Peter Streter, president, and D. L. Bruen, secretary. Among the late reported cases in the supreme court we notice : Deitrich vs. L. & N. W. Railroad. Error from Platte county. Reversed. Opinion by Maxwell, J. Where a railroad company has con demned certain real estate as the property of A, it cannot on appeal from the award of damages prove that he is not the owner without pleading such want of title. Gottschalk v.The Lincoln & North western Railroad Company. Error from Platte county. Affirmed. O pinion by Lake, Ch. J. Railroad eminent domain in junction. The fact that proceedings to condemn land to the use of a rail road, were taken and prosecuted by direction of the lessee of the road, but in the name of the lessor, held not a sufficient ground for the enjoining them at the suit of the owner. sapartauat! Although beef is higher than when the cow jumped over the moon the Grand Pacific will take a few more day boarders at the reduced rate of $450 per week ; transient rates strictly 12.00 per day. Meal tickets, $5.00 twenty -one meals. Geo. Lehman, Prop'r. Saaday School Assoclatiea. State Secretary's Office,! Kearney, Nebraska, May 10th, 1883. The annual convention of the Ne braska Sunday School Association will be held at Columbus, June 12, 13, and 14, commencing on Tuesday even ing, and closing Thursday evening. Columbus says "come," and it is mak ing every effort to insure success. Each school and county association is entitled to two delegates. The rail roads make the usual reduction of one and one-fourth fare for the round trip. The Sioux City and Pacific road will return persons who have paid full fare going, at one-fourth fare upon pre sentation at their office in Fremont of a certificate of attendance at the con vention. The Union Pacific and the Burlington & Missouri River roads will sell excursion tickets good for the round trip at one and one-fourth faro upon presentation at the station of starting of a certificate obtained from the corresponding secretary of the association before leaving home, which certificate entitles the holder to such excursion ticket at the reduced rate. Be sure to obtain these certifi cates prior to starting from home by applying to the corresponding secre tary H. B. Gilbe'rt, at Kearney, Nob., stating the route by which you reach Columbus. B. F. Jacobs of Chicago, chairman of the executive committee of the In ternational Sunday School Associa tion, is expected to be with us, and together with leading Sunday school workers of our own state will mako the convention oue of deep interest and profit to the Sunday school peo ple present. Bring Gospel Hymns combined, together with bible9, pen cils and uote paper. H. B. Gilbert, State Sec'y. Haaaparey. Mr. Newell South went to Omaha on Friday last to buy his new stock of hardware ; he expects in a few days to be able to supply his customers. The postoffice is having a general general overhauling; postmaster has moved his family out and fixing up for to accommodate the new bank with room. Mr. John Hewry is doing the car penter work on the uew buildings of South and Steffes, also we are sorry to say he lost by death bis little daugh ter on Friday last. Death, like time and tide, wait for no man. With pleasure we relate that Mrs. Herman Tieskotter presented her hus band, with a girl baby. Mr. Tieskot ter is delighted and says he received it about dinner time Friday ; he talks of building an addition to his hotel. Miss Emma Graham supplies our neighborhood with splendid music; we are glad that some one takes time (as it were) by the forelock, as we be lieve that good music and good sing ing go a great way towards culture and refinement. C. The above, from our regular corre spondent, ought to have been pub lished last week but it got side tracked. En. Journal. Mr. Conrad Arlt, our wagon maker, is lying at the point of death this (27th) eve. He has been sick for only two days. Rev. Pangbon ban moved to our place, consequently we bad services at the school house Sunday last; hope soon to be able to chronicle the build ing of a church here. Mr. T. D. Robinson has laid out four blocks of town lots, and we un derstand that some lots have been sold and that people will soon build. Who says we are not a thriving town ? New buildings seem to be the order of the day here at present. Mr. New ell South has his hardware store nearly enclosed. Mr. T. K. Ottis is building himself a dwelling. Mr. Steffi's is working on his buildings. M. C. Bloedorn is building a ware house. Carpenters are very scarce in view of the amount of work to be accomplished. Quite a lively runaway Sunday evening. A team of mules belonging to Mr. Tbos. Ottis and driven by Mr. Murphy on the way home from St. Mary's church became frightened by the uplifting of an umbrella, and ran as only mules can run, broke loose from the wagon, and the tongue drop ped, caught in the ground, and piled the Ottis family, clerk and all, in one heap. Fortunately no one was seri ously hurt: Mr. Murpby and D. Ottis are badly bruised. A sad accident happened at or near the depot Saturday morning. F. W. Tates was engaged shelling corn for Bartlette, one of the grain dealers here and in oiling the sheller he be came entangled by the tumbling rod which threw him and. broke his leg near the ankle. He was removed to his sister's, Mrs. F. H. Baker; medical aid summoned and the broken limb duly set. Mr. Tates is doing as well as could be expected and has the sym pathy of many friends, who know him to be a hard working, industrious man. Sparks froat CretUea. Rev. A. J. Wright will again preach here noxt Sunday. John and Lewis White of Schuyler have lately been the guests of L. G. White, a cousin, of Granville.

Each Alliance is requested to send a full delegation, as there will be business of importance to be attended to. 5-2 J. S. FaKiMAN, Sec'y. FOR BAEGAIN8 UST-w STOVES, HARDWARE & TINWARE, GO C. T. BAELOWS, Festrille Ileau. Shell creek has been filled to its banks several times, without, howev er, doing any special damage. Our old neighbor John Elliott is here, about again, and still has his old pleasant smile for every one. The scarcity of laborers has been sorely felt in this neighborhood, but there are more inquiries for work now again. If D. L. Bruen brags about his lambs, neighbor Henrich has some reason to brag about pigs, having 54 from five mammies. Neighbor Henrich got hurt a little ; and an old comrade of his by the name of Rheumatism coming on a visit at the same time, made it pretty bard for the old gentleman. But he can be seen about again. The people are busy planting corn the cold and wet weather has de layed that work to a degree. Some are breaking prairie, thus bringing more land under the plow, while oth ers are converting some of their culti vated lands into pastures. Mr. Peter Plant has assigned some of his school land on section 1G to a Bohemian gentleman, adding one more nationality to our number, so we haye Americans, Welsh, German, French, Swedish, Danish and Bohe mian in our precinct, and perhaps atill others. Like a painter by mixing different colors and applying them artfully to his canvas until a beauti ful painting greets the eye, so will allwise Providence develop out of this mixture a new nation. May it show all the virtues of the different peoples composing it, and none of their vices. More next time. X. Colfax Coaaty. From the Sun. In his sermon next Suuday evening, Rev. Rhone proposes to discourse on the subject of "Clowns, circus women and the spectators." Mr. N. W. Wells contemplates starting upon hia European tour about the 19th of June.
