The program for the Fourth at
Humphrey was not received at this
office until Tuesday morning, too late
for publication this week. A com
munication from Platte Center, anon
ymous, goes into the waste basket.
We hear that G. W.Barnbart of
Duncan has left that place to engage
wholly in the cattle business, in which
he already had a large interest. Suc
cess to him. He is one of the clever
est men on top of the green earth.
Platte county's state apportion
ment of the school money is $4,207.85
as against H.866.6C of last year. The
amount collected from licenses and
fines was $1,173.87. Columbus alone
derives $4,000 a year from liquor
license.
Rain almost every night last
week. Some one has made the re
mark about Nebraska that it is the
paradise of the workman, because it
rains mostly nights and Suadkys. We
have had several exceptions to the
rule this year.
If, in the year taken together,
there is a certain amount of moisture
only, as the old role goes, then we
shall have a dry fall or not much snow
next winter. We don't see many
men these days, however, who ven
ture predictions of the weather.
Mr. and Mrs. Levi Jenkins met
with quite a serious accident on their
way home from here laBt week. Their
buggy was run into by a wagon con
taining a couple of druuk meu and
they were both thrown out and badly
hurt, but at last accounts were mend
ing. Dr. S. A. Bonesteel returned on
Thursday last from his European-trip
and will again resume practice in
ColumbuB and vicinity. He has added
to his store of medical and surgical
knowledge a considerable insight into
the latest practice of the best surgeons
of Europe.
The B. & M. R. R. Co., as usual,

The question for debate, July 2d,
8.. p. m. at the Redenbaugh school
house, by tho G. P. Farmers Alliance
will be, "Should farmers take the lead
in politics?" D. L. Bruen, affirmative,
J. S. Freeman, negative. Our corres

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.
S. O. Raymond, along with other
citizens south of the Platte, feels very
strongly the great need of a good
bridge across that stream and don't
hesitate to express his opinion that if
the matter had been attended to at
the proper time, a great deal of un
necessary expense would have been
saved, and the traveling public been
vouchsafed a good crossing over the
river.
W. B. Doddridge spent a day in
town last week on his return home
from Omaha where he had been in
consultation with other superintend
ents. The new time schedule will go
into effect about July 1st. A new
train will be put on between Omaha
and Grand Island and a fast train to
Denver. The time between Omaha
and San Francisco will be shortened
one day.
The Platte river is throwing a
pretty strong current to the north of
the bridge east of Barnum's, and some
think the channel will be permanently
changed to this quarter. If the Platte
bridge is to be made available for
future travel, it would seem that there
must be an addition made to the north
end, or else some sort of embankment
made to push tho current back to its
old place.
Mr. aud Mrs. A. B. Coffroth re
turned the last of the week from a
trip into the north country. They
saw the Santee Sioux aud the Ponca
in all their glory, and were much
pleased with the progress that is seen
on eyery hand. Our editorial brother
returns to his office duties with the
hide of his face tanned to a delicate
blonde, and the tip of biB nose bear
ing in its delicate structure the evi
dence of incorporated sun-beat.
C. D. Tyler, of President, Platte
county, seeing Mr. Vanalstine's rec
ord, writes us that be has a cow of no
extra breed, a descendant of Texas
stock, that came in Feb. 15, '82, that
the family used a large quantity of
milk, and in July and August last and
a part of September, used all the but
ter and raised 24 pigs, had 33, sold the
calf and butter to the amount of $60
within 15 months. Now he has two
cows, a farrow heifer, and the old
cow comes in in August, and they
make U lbs. of butter a week, sup
plying two families with milk.
The crops in this region of coun
try look in good order. Corn is not
so far along as we have seen it some
other seasons, but there i6 generally
an excellent stand, and the hot, moist
weather is telling now upon its
growth. Small grain is making a
rank growth, and of course much of
its prosperity depends upon weather
of the near future, but at present
there is every reason to believe 'the
crop will be extra. The grass, the
prime product of our soil, is im splen
did trim, and the cattle is fenced
fields (which are more abuadant this
spring than ever before in Nebraska)
will thrive as oaaal.
Base Ball.
Thursday last a very interesting
game was played between the Blod
getts of Seward and the Keystones of
Columbus, at the Fair Grounds. A
goodly number of spectators took in
terest in the game, and nothing oc
curred to break the full enjoyment of
the occasion.
The score shows runs by the Key
stones on only two of the innings,
fourth and ninth ; by the Blodgetts on
the first, seventh, eighth and ninth;
before the last inning the Blodgetts
were one ahead. During the game,
all but one of the Keystones made a
run each, Landers two, while but
three of the Blodgetts made even one
run each, Galusha scoring three.
We give below the full showing of
the game. We understand that the
return game will be played at Sew
ard, perhaps this week :

A number of the parents and
members of the school board visited
the different school rooms Friday last
to inspect the written work of the
pupils during the last term. The
adoption of this method here is cer
tainly commendable for very many,
substantial reasons. From the pri
mary department, where, under the
loving care and assiduous labor of
Mrs. Ballon the gentle little ones are
led along the way of learning, to the
highest department, the work ou
paper, in black and white, shows for
itself, and marks, for the inspection of
pupil, teacher, parent and friend, the
onward steps taken no guess-work,
no may be, but it is thus and so. Lord
Bacon said long ago that writing
makes the exact man, and it remains
true. This written work, undertaken
every day, inculcates accuracy aud
facility of expression ; the formation
and constant practice of correct hab
its which will endure through life;
the knowledge of language by actual
use, rather than an abstract fact hav
ing no application to everyday work ;
the' correction of bad habits and slov
enly work; a strong desire to im
prove upon former efforts, besides all
which it keeps a complete record of
educational progress of every pupil,
which is an invaluable aid to teachers.
Supt. Cramer, and all the teachers in
all the departments under his super
vision deserve the thanks of pupils
and parents for the spirit in which
they have done their work. We no
ticed in the work of six and eight
years old boys and girls, a neatness of
penmanship and accuracy-of expres
sion, which would do honor to many
a man and woman five times that age.
We predict for this method a univer
sal adoption.
Dr. Fishblatt who is to make his
next professional visit to Columbus
Friday, July 6th, is endorsed by the
entire press. The following is from
the Lincoln Journal: "The celebrat
ed Dr. Fishblatt, of the Omaha Med
ical Dispensary, will be in Lincoln,
Saturday, April 28tb.. The doctor
has an immense practice in this state,
and is well known in every section of
it. He is well known to many of our
people, who will no doubt take ad
vantage of his visits here to call on
him. Many people have wrong im
pressions about Dr. Fishblatt, and
suppose him to be a quack doctor.
This is not so, in any sense. He is a
graduate of one of the most eminent
medical colleges in the United States,
and can show his diploma to any
doubting Thomas. To still further
dispose of the belief of some in his
unwortbinesB he publishes certificates
from men whose character cannot be
gainsnid, and who would not stoop to
bolster up a quack anywhere. In the
present number of the Journal can be
found testimonials from Addison Oli
ver of Onawa ; F. A. Sidles, Esq., of
Bennet; and Alex. MclntOBb, of
Schuyler. Mr. Oliver was at one
time member of congress from the
'big Ninth,' and is a gentleman who
commands the respect and confidence
of all the people in this neighborhood.
Mr. Sidles is a prominent druggist in
Bennet and land agent for the B. & M.
R. R. These testimonials are differ
ent from those usually published.
Generally they are dated from Smith
town, Georgia, or Jonesville, Arkan
sas, and signed John Smith or William
Jones, and dated 1862, and 1869. The
greatest argument in favor of Dr.
Fishblatt is that he publishes live
testimonials from live known people,
on late dates. If anyone wishes to
know whether Mr. Sidles wrote the
testimonial accredited to him, let
them drop a postal card to that gen
tleman, and they can find out to their
own satisfaction. If you are in need
of the services of a physician, give the
doctor a call.

Committee on arrangements con
vened at the Center Creston school
house, June 15, '83, with Neils Olson
in the chair. As two members of the
committee were absent, others were
elected instead ; and, after some gen
eral discussions, the business was dis
posed of as follows.
E. Eggleston wan appointed to
superintend the building of arbors,
one, which is to contain the table, 32
xlOO feet, and the other, with speak

ed. The committee that had been
ordered to procure a speaker and a
cornet band, reported that thoy had
not yet received a reply from the
parties written to; so they were in
structed to report at the next meeting.
After the secretary bad been instruct

Quite a sad accident occurred in
Humphrey precinct; a little girl of
James Brown was riding on the corn
planter while her father was drilling
beans. Somehow she caught her
small hand in the cog wheels of the
planter and completely mashed several
of her little fingers.
Last Thursday night a storm of rain
hail and wind moved several small
buildings from their foundations and
the large hotel trame of Jacob Steffes
new building was twisted on its pins
about eight inches ; several of his win
dows were broken by hail. The
stable owned by Mr. Clark was mov
ed nearly two feet with his team in
side, a narrow escape for the horses.
The people of Humphrey will not
be outdone, as they intend to celebrate
the glorious Fourth in a right royal
manner, Bpeaking by celebrated ora
tors, games, races such as sack race,
catching greased pig, horse race are
talked of. The people met Saturday
evening to consider, and a committee
was appointed to make necessary
arrangements. Nothing will be left
out to make a grand time. Fire
works, etc.
Mr. D. J. Drubert and wife with
your humble scribe, and wife visited
Creston Wednesday evening of last
week to a Sunday school convention.
Your correspondent was well pleased
with the country as well as the con
vention. The chief speakers were the
Revs. Gray and Little of Columbus ;
they presented the idea that there
should be a temperance lesson every
four weeks or thereabouts to teach the
children the abhorrence of intemper
ance. Our opinion is to so teach the
Bible to them that they will abhor
evil in all places.
