A subscriber wishes to know the j
law of Nebraska concerning fencing, j
so far as the same refers to railroad
companies. "When they own lands
away from their tracks they would be
subject to the same law as individ
uals ; there is a law requiring them to
place a fence along the line of their
road.
A Columbus denizen who was up
rather late Tuesday night of last
week was considerably alarmed at
the appearance of a heavy cloud,
funnel-shaped, which came from the
southwest and passed over the city in
a northeasterly direction. He don't
even want to see that kind of a cloud '
again.
Cedar Rapids folks held a rail
road meeting the other day. Messrs.
Hadley, Freeland, Brown, Harris and
Leslie were appointed a committee

be completed this fall in time to move
the crops.

cut with a self binder 215 acres of
grain. The last day's work was
eleven acres and only thrie bundles
missed. The entire outlay on machine
for the 215 acres, except oil and twine
was only one dollar. This record
certainly shows careful and proper
handling of the machine.
John L. Means of Grand Island
on Wednesday last secured the con
tract for building three bridges in
Boone county. There seemed to be
an nnusual number of bidders on
hand, a "drove" of them, one spectator
remarked, from all parts of the coun
try, but John figured close and secur
ed the work, some 380 feet of bridges
to cost about $2500.
Mr. O. T. Roen, cashier of the
First National Bank of Columbos,was
looking over our village last Thurs
day for a lot on which to locate a

over. "Who will be our first bank-
i ers ? Cedar Rapids Era.
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.
Thursday last F. "W. Ott made a
trip into thenortheastern part of the
county. He is rather enthusiastic
over the improvements on farms in
that section and along the way, and
particularly instances the fine, new
dwelling house of Henry Wurdeman
as one of the very best and most hand
some structures in the whole country.
The lightning Saturday night
struck Hon. L. Gerrard's dwelling
close to the ground, disturbing some
of the timbers but doing no injury to
any of the household. The same
night, the electric fluid found a path
down a lightning rod on James Pear
sail's house until it came to an im
perfect joint, when it jumped to the
ground.
M. V. Moudy, Esq., of Genoa
added considerable to bis repute as a
lawyer in the defense of Dr. Landon
at Lincoln last week, and Mr. Philpot
of the Lancaster county bar will not
soon forget the description of himself
given by the gentleman ; from Genoa,
a description much relished by the
audience, and mere especially by the
attorneys.
The following gentlemen were
selected Saturday last to represent
the republicans of Columbus precinct
in the county convention next Satur
day: Leander Gerrard, John W.
Early, M. K. Turner, J. M. Macfar
land, Samuel Cory, "Wm. Cornelius,
John Routson, G. "W. Clother, "W. A.
McAllister, Emil Pohl, Henry Ragatz,
John Hammond.
G."W."Westcott, living north of the
city, lost three good brood sows Sat
urday night last, struck by lightning.
They were lying close togather in a
corner of a field enclosed by a barbed
wire fence. Some farmers are taking !
the precaution of occasionally along
the fence placing a wire upright, hav
ing the lower end enter the ground,
thus making a miniature lightning rod.
L. S. Kimball, who for the past
three years has been in Idaho and
Montana, returned last Thursday. He
went away with the notion that if he
found a better place than Nebraska
he might stay and test it. "We under
stand from him that he has now re
turned to stay. Nebraska has appar
ently as much outcome as any other
state in the Union, and her present j
status is not snch that it will suffer
very greatly by comparison with any.
"Whenever men go fishing they
should know the little idiosyncracies
of their companions, as for instance
that some men, after they see their
companions well settled at work,
(contemplating with pleasurable emo
tions the prospective forthcoming of
the finny tribe like true disciples of
Isaak "Walton) unthinkingly they go
away to another place half a mile off,
and carry with them all the bait.
Under such circumstances language
is inadequate.
Before Seward's base ball organi
zation again challenges a neighboring
club to compete with them on the
diamond they should be prepared to
meet their competitors in a manly
manner to the end of the series of
games arranged for, and not plead the
baby act or ignominiously "craw
fish" after the second game. The
Keystones have just cause to feel that
they have been mistreated, all their
overtures for the final game having
been rejected or treated with silent
contempt.
Pelig "Winslow and wife of Illi
nois arrived in the city about ten days
ago. Mr. "W. is brother and partner
in business of Henry M., who has
been located here for some little time.
Mr. "W. H. Grinnell and daughter are
also here. They were Mr. "Winslow's
nearest neighbors in Illinois. They
were accompanied 'here by George
Davis, who has secured a Nebraska
farm. Our growins state has receiv
ed a goodly number of accessions from
Illinois this year, and we don't hear
of any of them who are regretting
their move. There is room and neigh
borly welcome for all who may come.
The commercial traveler is a fixed
institution in the business life of the
country, and it would probably not be
out of the way to say that the first
class hotels could scarcely survive,
lacking their patronage. It is won
derful the number of these gentlemen
that visit Columbus, representing dif
ferent business centers, but mainly
Chicago and Omaha. Yon will see
sometimes a dozen men a day repre
senting Chicago, and perhaps two or
three a year that hail from St. Louis,
showing that Chicago takes the lead
here, and from what we can learn,
this is but a sample of all this western
country.
It has been extensively advertised
that the tax for 1SS3 would become
due October 1st of the same year and
delinquent January 1st of the year
following. This appears to be a mis
taken idea. The law making this j
change does not take effect until
October and the repealing clause ex- I
pressly provides that the repeal of the
old law shall not, in any manner,
affect the collection of any taxes
"heretofore levied or assessed." In
asmuch as the tax for 1SS3 was both
levied and assessed previous to the
taking effect of this law, it is evident
that it does not come within its pro
visions. Hence the tax for 1SS3 will
not become delinquent until May 1st,
1884. Schvulcr Sun.
H. Whitehead and family have
returned from England where they
have been on a visit the past three
months. They were accompanied on
( their return by Mr. "Ws sister, Mrs.
Parker. He says that the crops in
England are rather light and the har
vest late. Trade of all kinds seems
pretty good, but he says that wages
are low, farm hands getting three
dollars a week, out of which they
board themselves. Another gentle
man recently from England remarked
to us the other day that the laboring
men of the island were coming to
consider the problem of their life and
are beginning to conclude that it is
about time to quit supporting a royal
family, and adopt republican simplic
ity. American ideas are revolution
izing sentiment in the old world, and
those who come here scarcely ever
think of removing to England to live.

here on a visit.
Mr. Johannes had a severe attack
of hemorrhage, but is again about.
Old Mr. Bloedorn has planted trees
along either side of the road and they
are pretty much all growing.
Mr. John Edwards has moved his
dwelling, stables, etc. up to the north

Several cases of dysentery have oc
curred, one of which resulted in
death. It was that of a little child
the only one of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph

the little coffin. The funeral exer
cises were conducted by Rev. A.
Henrich.
A little further down the creek a
young visitor has made his or her
appearance in the house of Mr. Christ

him or herself in pants or petticoat, I
can only speak in very general terms,
assuring the readers of the Jocexal
that it is either a bov or a girl.

Teachers' lastitate.
The Institute, under the able man
agement of Supt. J. E. Moncrief, is
proving a decided success.
The teachers all exhibit an enthusi
' tbe thu U MUtan Seeu,
uu. me) uuu.juuteuiy win so iortu
from their work better prepared to
cope with the difficulties arising in
the school room. The absurd idea,
that the Institute is a "money-making
scheme", deserves the reprehension of
every intelligent man and woman.
How can it be a money-making
scheme ? All the tuition required is
your attendance. Every tfaefcer that
ever attended an Institute knows that
the only way to correct the imperfect
methods the methods our great
grandfathers and their second cousins
used is to attend these Institutes;
not only to see the normal methods
used, but to introduce them into the
several schools of the county.
"We believe that our county super-.
intendent is doing a noble work, and !
hope he may long continue in office,
for we feel confident that Platte
county's educators will not have to
take a back seat, or allow failure to be
branded on their record so long as
they are under the fostering care of
our worthy superintendent.
Last Thursday Mr. Cumming made
an excellent address wherein he clear
ly showed the necessity of a teacher's
possessing that virtue of all virtues,
morality, and the great responsibility
resting upon every teacher.

horse, he says worth $150. It is quite
a bad loss to John.
S. E. Morgan has lost several head

and that it is quite a prevalent disease.
Our school house is as nice a school
room as can be found in country
towns. Much credit is due the direc
tors for the interest manifested in
keeping a good school and building.
Rev. Mr. Wilson came to town with
Martin Postle driving a nice team of

people and friends of the newly mar
ried pair had been invited to a grand
ball to take place at Herman Teiskot
ters, a brother-in-law of the bride, in
honor of the occasion. Evening bro't
the party back, and at an early hour
the company commenced coming and
kept it up until the large house wa? i
completely filled. While beer, cake (
and dancing was more free than j
water, all apparently fell into their j
own element, the lover of dancing
tripped the fantastic toe, the hunsry
i
ate, and it is needless to say when they
were dry they drank, as morning
showed numerous empty beer kegs in
that vicinity. Every thing passed off
pleasantly, and all were well pleased
with the manner in which they were
entertained.
