Blnm, the manager of the Star Clothing House, has arrived, and the institution will be opened in a tew davs. The Kramers prop'ose ! that this shall be a first-class estab lishment in every respect. 1 The concert given by the Maen- nerchor and others to Mrs. Page was j excellent in every respect, was well attended and netted a handsome sum jor the faithful teacher, whose pride in her pupils is perfectly excusable. Mr. Coffroth has returned from Dakota. Pierre, which he seems to have taken a fancy to, is a rattling, bustling city of 2500 with immense prospects in the near future. Heal estate has gone up, almost ont of sight. The JYieiM gives an account of an invention by two men at Norfolk, which promises to be a very excellent thing in railroading, viz, an automatic brake that can be attached to any car, passenger or freight, worked by the engineer or any brakeman, and costs only a small figure. Those who have fsnced pastures are finding that the weeds are becom- ' ing more abundant, year by year, and that it will be necessary to seed to 1 tame grasses of some sort. It seems j that the prairie grass does not thrive well on continuous close cropping. Jaeggi & Schupbach have been making extensive improvements on their elevator, and are prepared to handle grain in good shape. The shoveling process will be done away with, aud the rats will find in the new stone basement a more difficult en trance. 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 i apace. tf M. K. Tueneb & Co. C. S.

In a tew days, as a result, the farmer is notified by a broker that his note for $ will be duo . This is the latest device that is being practiced in Nebraska. Lincoln has been indulging in a sensation of late. It seems that not long since a Swede girl from Genoa, J landed in the citv and took up abode I at the residence of one Mrs. Parmlee, i a birth and a death, aud then an inves-' ligation, coroner's jury; and the sad j story is complete : we hope the proper authorities will mske it extremely "" iui . "" "" " c ""!"' cated in this affair. Dorchester Star. Wm. E. Walton was in the citv 1 lr, solicit peonage to this eakinir. 15-2 Keaiieb. on business Monday. He passed last j a very enjoyable affair. The bounti winter east, and is more than ever j fQl refreshments were partaken of well pleased with Nebraska, notwith- i h a good relish, the happy couple standing the fact that he enjoyed his j receiving the many hearty good wish visit very much. Mr. W. is engaging j es of taeir friends, in addition to the in the nursery business, and we pre-' large number of useful and valuable diet for him great success, and under I presents, which were fully apprecia his .ales we have no doubt Platte ! ted and tneir donors will long be county will begin to be a fruit region, because those who buy of Mr. Walton will be supplied with excellent stock. The weather in Nebraska for the present yeai has been most remarka ble in its odd freaks of hail in certain places, and an unusual amount of rain generally, supplying every part of the state witn seasonable showers. No other state in the Union has produced such splendid grass and pasturage as is to be met with in Nebraska, al ready producing as fat cattle as if they had been fed on chopped feed. If you don't believe it, come and see them. The County Democratic Central j Committee have selected the follow- I ins delegates to attend the state dem- l ocratic convention at Omaha, aept. !29: J. E. North, J. G. Higgins, Thos. Ottis, L. B. Leach, Peter Noonan, John Browner, John Rickly, Charles Reinke, Martin Postle, R., L. Rossiter, and G. C. Barnum. The interests of the democracy of old Platte should not suffer in the hands of these gen tlemen. They will compare favorably with any portion of the state. A little daughter of Fritz Seur of Stearns Prairie had the large bone of her left leg broke last week by falling ! from a wind-mill tower, about eigh teen feet. Dr. Hoehen, who tended her, says she was only 2l years old, and had somehow climbed up tbe ladder, the lower round of which had been purposely knocked off. Parents of Nebraska children wonld do well to remember that the climate here or something else is very favorable to mental development, and so make the necessary allowance. It seems that, after all, the exten sion of the U. P. road from Genoa will touch Fullerton. A meeting was held Tuesday evening of last week, at which the proposition of the U. P. was read and very generally approved. They ask of Fullerton precinct 417,000 in 20 year bonds at 7 per cent interest, 40 acres of land for depot grounds and the right of way through the con gressional township 3 miles. It is understood, says the Journal, that Randall Fuller has offered to donate the ground s, and a committee has been 1 appointed to secure the right of way. Mr. Ii. P. Taylor, passenger con ductor on the Union Pacific between Omaha and Grand Island, was on Sunday night bitten by a spider on the right side of the upper lip, the poisonous effects of which he felt almost immediately. He made but one run after receiving the bite, and then he was compelled to take his bed at the 'Grand Pacific, Omaha. He kept growing worse, in spite of all that could be done to Btay the progress of the poison, and at half past five o'clock Friday morning he died. Hastings Journal. Abner Turner, while retaining a moneyed interest, will no longer be one of the working officials of the Columbus State Bank. Obliging and faithful, "Ab." has gained a very en viable reputation during all the time the institution has been in existence, and those who have done business there will be sorry to hear of this move, which he makes for his health. Mr. J. O. Tasker, well known to many of our citizens, has secured an interest in the Bank and will take the place of cashier. He is well-versed in the business, and customers of the insti tution will find him prompt and faithful. It is an utter impossibility to sat isfy everybody. And now comes McCormick of the Oakdale Pen and Plow and says to Judge Higgins, anent his first editorial shot, that his "range is too high, his tale is too long." And in a very paternal man ner enjoins upon our neighbor, "be brief and pointed, Judge." Mac seems to feel the interest of an old citizen in Columbus affairs and being an editor, too, the Journal supposes his friendly disposition will be duly appreciated, the more especially since the -gospel he preaches is the one he had most need to practice in the first of his own editorial work. It would appear that the Seward base ball club is fighting very shy of the final game with the Keystones. The first game of the series being played at this place, and the return game at Seward, according to estab lished customs regulating amateur games of base ball, when necessary to play the third game to decide the con test, Columbus or some intermediate point would be selected. The Key stones have now good enclosed grounds near the city and are prepar ed to give the Sewards a lively tuBsle for the test game, and are anxious to meet them. With this object in view thn rnanan-nmnnf nf tha f nrctnnn ;- bUb .........Mt'.A.h... W t 4 AU T 9fcWUb3 4 3 willing to do all that fairness could demand to arrange a game. The Seward Reporter says that "the death of a young woman under suspicious circumstances at Lincoln caused an wvestigation, which devel oped the fact that an institution ex ists in that citv where victims of seaucers are tafcen for treatment. If tbe-v escaPe alive are luck?' as ; tne woman wno runs tne place cares only for the money she receives. The law should be enforced to its full ex tent against the guilty parties." Every organized community owes it as a duty to its youth to protect them from every species of wrong, and there is nothing calculated to send them swift- 1" to perdition like the sinks of evil that are becoming so common. A verF Pleasant company of neighbors and friends gathered at the nome ot jut. ana lrs. j. 1. iteea Monday evening, Aug. 13th, to wit ness tbe marriage of their daughter Miss Louie H., to Mr. Angelo C. Pickett, by Rev. Rush, which proved remembered by the recipients. They left at once for their new home, now nearly completed, where we trust they may be spared to each other, to enjoy many happy years. D. Anderson of this city, who has had considerable business dealing in stock, was one of the bidders for fnwnifltinr t iaTl hnon e e rxr AattlA frw , 4 , 4. T ,. the government, at the Crow Indian Agency, Montana. We understand that the contract was let to Strange Bros, of Sioux City at $30,000, while Mr. Anderson's bid was $25,000, he complying with all tbe conditions i prescribed by the commissioner of Indian affairs, sueh as agreeing to furnish first-class cattle of good grades, depositing fiou (nve per , cent, of the amount of the bid) &c. Mr. Anderson says he could have furnished the cattle at the Agency in 30 day6, and made plenty of money at it, and it looks to him, as it does to us, in view of these facts, as though there was something wrong some where. Mr. A. ought not stop until he finds where it is the officials placed the extra 5,000. There have been some newspaper comments throughout the State on a decision rendered by Judge A. M. Post not long since at Central City. There has been a misapprehension of the decision in certain quarters. We undertake to say that the exact law in any given case will be as accurately set forth by Judge Post as by any other on the district benches. We understand that the following citation from one of Chief Justice Marshall's decisions covers the chief point in the case mentioned: "It has been long settled upon general principles that after the expiration or repeal of a law no penalty can be enforced nor pun ishment inflicted for violations of the law committed while it was in force, unless some special provision be made for that purpose by statute." The in dictment was for obtaining moaey under false pretenses; the new re pealing act of Feb. 28, 83, went into effect Jnne 1, '83 ; the offense was com- 1 mittad July 4, '82. The Game Friaay. Many of our readers are superannu ated ball players, having had a thumb broken, a finger knocked out of plumb, or a nose demoralized, and so concluded to enjoy the game by proxy, or as spectators, or, safer still, as a reader of results. For this class of our patrons especially we take a peculiar interest in the national game. We have not a full report of the very interesting game played here J Friday between the Keystones of this city and the Wahoos. We give the score herewith from which it may be deduced that, if this is a fair sample of the work of the two clubs, Colum bus is ahead. Waboo was white washed six times Keystones three. Counting out the fifth inning, (which was exceptional, owing to the pecu liar influence of the umpire) and the score shows an averaze play largely in favor of the Keystones. The game was played at the new grounds of the club and was witness ed by upwards of 500 people. The Wahoos came in a special train, and were accompanied by a splendid cornet band under the leadership of Bert King, and by a number of ladies and gentlemen of Wahoo a very pleasant party, who were met at the depot by the Columbus band. We mention some of the more striking incidents of the contest: Loeb, in the last inning, after one man had been put out, secured a sec ond, by jumping about four feet to take a throwed ball which he took in good shape putting his man out at 1st base. Backus at second base showed good generalship during the game. There was no single error on the Keystone side by the catchers, Hall and Weaver. Withnall made a splendid hit, send ing the ball into left field, which was taken in in good shape by Thomas. Hammock and Lenders made some two-base bits that brought out cheers from the crowd. Mahoney made a splendid, running, fly-catch in center. Wake's balls were placed so very neatly that but very few were knock ed out ot the diamond. Volley Weaver made an excellent fly catch in right field, running and falling, but getting & vise grip on the ball. THE SCOBE. KJCY9TONKS. K. O. WAHOOs. R. O.

All ex-cavalrymen who expect to be in attendance at tbe reunion at Hastings, are urgently requested to meet at the Grand Army hall in Co lumbus, Saturday evening next, Aug. 25th, 7:30 o'clock. Turn out, boys, and let ns again see one of those long lines of mounted men that were so familiar to our eyes twenty years ago, and once more let ns go upon the cu. :x The State Fair. The coming State Fair will give most of our State people an opportu nity to note the prosperity and prog ress of Omaha. Its new banks, church es, and hotels, its newly paved streets and its electric lights will be matters of great interest to the outsider. During the week of the State Fair railroad fares will be reduced and everything will be conducted on the cheap plan. As a consequence, many 'will take advantage of the time to make purchases in the metropolis, and to attend to other duties that can only be performed in the city. Dr. A. S. Fishblatt will remain in Omaha during the fair. A large num ber of patients have signified their intention of attending the exposition, and will receive the doctor's atten tion here instead of at their homes, where he has been in the habit of treating them. Thus it will be a busy week for him, for, in addition to many old patients, it must be expected that he will be visited by hundreds of new J ones. His fame is well assured. His constant and judicious advertising in the newspapers has secured him an acquaintance as large as the great west, and stories of his miraculous cures have spread with wonderful rapidity. The man who receives lasting benefit from his treatment is not so ungrateful as to hide the doc tor's light under a bushel he assists it to shine, in order that others may see it, aud take advantage of the op portunity. He tells his neighbors, and the letters which he writes to his physician are filled with sincere and honest gratitude, which is the best advertisement in the world. Of these thousands of letters received, Dr. Fishblatt is able to publish only an extract now and then. Dr. Fishblatt makes the treatment of chronic diseases a specialty, and we would advise all to consult him that suffer from nasal catarrh, that offen sive and most prevalent of diseases, throat and lung diseases that often are forerunners of consumption, con vulsions or epilepsy, nervous trouble, caused by youthful folly or excesses, loss of manhood, female troubles in all their ramifications, kidney and liver diseases, or all diseases arising from former improper treatment. By consulting Dr. Fishblatt all will find him a genial, whole-souled gen tleman and a careful, conscientious physician, worthy of implicit confi dence. 1 For the Journal. Health yiotc. Symmetry of form may not have so much to do with health as with beau ty, but obliquity is an abnormitv. An obliquity of features sometimes ' suggests an obliquity of character. ' Who cau look upon the oblique facial expression of a certain repulican-democratic-anything-for-office gov ernor, without feeling that the exter nal form is the truthful tell-tale index of the inward soul? seen faces with the Who has not nose flattened over to one side as if made of wax, where this irregularity seems like a just reward for irregularity of dispo sition? Cultivate regularity of dis position, of character, of thought, of speech, of action and of form. Next we have in our ideal "an in telligent countenance and an open, honest look.'' This also has more reference to healtbfulness of soul than of body, but then we mean to use the term health in this wider sense, be cause the human being is a unit, and cannot be taken apart like a chest of drawers without violence and un truthfulness. The clear light of Rea son must beam forth from the face; meet, and notice how few compara tively have the sun of reason burning brightly and clearly; so many that show clouds and fog, and don't neg lect to study Ego, from this stand point, in the looking-glass. Of all uses of the mirror this is one ot the noblest. But to this intelligence must be added honesty. Wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Without this dovelike harmlessness, intelligence degenerates into mere "sharpness," or foxlike trickiness. With all his keen practice, Shylock could not be called truly wise, as the result shows; he lacked the dove feature, and all that was left, was the snake in the grass. Notable examples of the ser pent without the dove are Napoleon and Tweed, and they found it very unhealthy. Shining instances of a happy combination of both we have in Garfield and Gladstone. If either one must predominate, let it be the dove and not the snake. Seal Eittate TraaiferN. Reported for the Journal for the week ending last Saturday, by Gus G.
