We arc now ready to take your measure lor a first class suit of clothes, or an overcoat. Star Clothing House. It pays to trade at Kramer's. Rev. A. Ilenrich and wife, of Platte Center, were in the city Thurs day attending the fair, and made us a pleasant call. U.G. Garrett, editor of the North Bend Flail, was in the city Thursday last and made tho Journal a pleas ant social call. The late rains were very seasona ble in respect to fall plowing, the ground now being in fine coudition for the work. M. B. Hoxie is in St. Louis under medical treatment and we are pleased to learn is being benefited. Grand Island Times. Phil. Walker, S. A. McCone, Char ley Ball and a host of other Butler couuty denizens were in attendance at N the fair last week. Lippitt, Leak & Co. are manufac turers of California Buck Gloves, and are not ashamed to brand their own uaiiie on every pair. 21-2 Herbert Hood, we learn from the Schuyler Sun, still continues to be very sick, being confined to his bed in a very weak condition. At the late term of the district court held iu this city, John M. Mar tyn, late of Pennsylvania, was admit ted to the Platte county bar. E. Pohl went down into Colfax couuty Sunday and returned Monday with his wife and family, who haye been on a visit in that section. Nobby now hats at Kramer's. "Is money or manhood to rule?" asks an exchange. The question is politely referred to our political glad iators in training for the fall cam paign. A first-class girl to do general .house work can find a good situation in the family of J. W. Early, near the Court House. Wages demanded will be no object. 1 Judge A. M. Post made a splen did start for judge in this district, having received every vote in the convention not a dissenting voice from any quarter. George Camp was in the city Saturday, returning from a visit to his brother Joe at North Bend, whom he reports married to one of the belles of that place Mr. Cady, of the Schuyler Swi, and Mr. Millard of the Central City Nonpareil, were in the city last week, and being social men of the craft, made us a plcasaut call. The German Lutheran church hold a conference at the Loseke church, northeast of Bismark, com mencing to-day. Sixty ministers are expected to be in attendance. Fred. Coan, a former Columbus printer boy, passed through tho city on Saturday last with a detachment of the 5th TJ. S. cavalry, destined for Ft. McKinney. He enlisted as a musician. Dr. McAllister, dentist, will be y- in Columbus the fore part of the first r week in October to do first-class den tal work. The Doctor's work is too well known to need further comment. Ed. Moncreif, County School Su perintendent, will hold a meeting for the examination of teachers, at the Court House in this City, Saturday, Sept. 29th, '83, commencing promptly at 9 o'clock a. m. Jersey jackets at Kramer's. A. C. Hosiuer, of Clinton, 111., a practical printer was in the city Fri day. Ho is prospecting in Nebraska with a view of making a permanent location. He goes to Albion to view the newspaper field. The sobriety of printers is pheno menal considering bow often they have to set 'est up. Ex. And their health is also remarkable, when we consider the dead matter that surrounds them. The snpply of tenement houses in the city is entirely inadequate to the demand. A few thousand dol lars put into this class of buildings in Columbus- would undoubtedly bring a good return on the investment. Judge A. M. Post held a term of the District Court for this county last week, which adjourned on Monday. Myron H. Wheeler the new court reporter for this district, was present discharging the duties of his office. Major Frank North returned home last week from his tour of the eastern states with Buffalo Bill's Wild West combination, bringing with him some sick Indians. The reds of the party have suffered severely from malarial fever. , We learn that a gentleman who has had experience in putting down artesian wells thinks Columbus a good point for an enterprise of that char acter, and will aoon .visit the city to consult with our representative men on the subject. The dance at Small & Walter's skating rink Saturday evening was well attended and a very pleasant time is reported. These dances are becoming quite popular with the young folks. Another one will be given next Friday night. The new postal notes do not meet with much favor with the business public. Being payable to bearer and time of payment limited to three months are the objectionable features. Many business houses have instructed their customers not to send them. F. A. Brainard has moved his city drug store opposite the Clother House to Genoa (first door east of the old hotel) and respectfully invites his old FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS Of W6St Platte county to call at his new stand for good bargains in his line. lp Cady of the Schuyler Sun is pret ty smart, we should remark, but it took him a long time to discover.tbat the word "remark" spelled back wards is tho name of ono of our busi ness men. We knew for certain, a long time ago, that it would spell Kramer. Rev. J. Q. A. Fleharty called at the Journal office on bis return from conference. He is sent back to labor among tho people of his old charge in this city. His relations with the peo ple of this charge have been very pleasant in the past, and doubtless will continue. Allen Vincent, of Butler couuty, has placed us under additional obli gations by leaving with us a pail of very nice plums; and while examin ing tho contents of the bucket, we found concealed among the plums a fine specimen of grapes both Ne braska grown. The enrollment in the public schools amounts to 325. The teachers have taken hold of their work with a will, and seem determined to accom plish good results. The utmost har mony prevails throughout, and better methods are being introduced in all the departments. Mr. John Steels, a former tele graph operator in this city, now sta tion agent at Rising City, was in town last week taking old friends by the hand while attending the fair. He is enjoying a sixty-day lay-off and will visit several eastern states before re suming his labors.. Charley Adams and Chas. Stitzer, two Columbus boys of former days, were among the base ball players that came down from Central City last week to play the Keystones. Both looked very natural. Adams remind ed tiB of olden times when the "Shoo- Fly's" wielded the willow so effect ively. The teachers of our city schools hold meetings for the discussion of methods of instruction, and other school topics, the first Friday after noon of each .month at 3:30 o'clock at the high school. The public are cor dially invited to attend these meet ings and see what our teachers are doing. Now is the time to look to your stoves, and set them up in season. In this connection we will remark that Pohl & Wermuth on 11th street have the nicest line of heaters in the market. The square and round "Splendids" are two daisies that will turn Arctic winter into the mildness of the tropics. 1 M. V. Moudy, of Genoa, while attending the State Fair, fell into a hole in the street at Omaha, which had been left unprotected by the city authorities, and broke three of bis ribs. He is now wearing a plaster jacket to keep bis ribs in place, and intends to bring suit against the city of Omaha for damages. 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 aB if done direct with as. 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. The Weeping Water base ball club after their victory at Columbus, beat the Wahoos on their own grounds by a score of 6 to 3, after seven innings had been played, and on Thursday last tackled the U. P.'s at Omaha. Although each of the nine innings was a gooBe egg)fofthem they held their opponent's score down o eight runs. Soldiers and Sailors, who served in the Union army during the late war of the rebellion from Ohio, and who now reside in Platte county, Neb., are earnestly requested to fur nish T. A. Potts of this city, with their names, company and regiment, to enable E. P. Roggen, the secretary of the Ohio Association in Nebraska, to complete his roster for publication of this: clasB'of soldiers and sailors. On Thursday afternoon last a match 'game of ball was played be tween the Central City and Keystone clubs at the latter's grounds in this city. Owing to the disagreeable weather there were few spectators present to witness the contest, which resulted in a victory for the home team by a score of 14 to 2. Following is the score by innings : 12345C789 KevBtone.... 11032160 14 Central City. 0000110002 Considerable agitation has been stirred up in political circles over the nomination of a thoroughbred demo crat for the office of district judge Of the Foutth judicial district by the anti-monopolists, and it has been a mooted question as to whether Judge Higgins would accept the nomination at the hands of the convention. The Democrat, of which he is one of the editors, says neither yea nor nay upon the subject, but we understand the Judge to say that he is not a candi date for the office at all, and therefore declines the nomination. Preaby terlam InstallatloH. Rev. John W. Little will be install ed aa pastor of the Presbyterian church in this city on Sabbath, Sept. 30tb, at 11 a. m. Rev. W. C. Kimball, of Madison, Neb., will preside, ask the constitutional questions and de liver a charge to the pastor. Rev. Joshua Riale of Papillion, Neb., will preach and deliver a .charge to the congregation. Rev. W. E. Kimball will preach in the evening at 7:30. Revs. Riale and Little will assist in the service. "What are our merchants going to do with all the goods they are re ceiving?" Is a question quite com monly asked these days on witnessing the bustle and tumult incident to storing away piles of merchandise. Why, sell them to customers in the county for cash before next spring thoBe of them who judiciously adver tise their wares so that the people may know where to go to purchase what they are in need of. No more stinting in the necessaries of life for Nebraska farmers. They are abund antly able to even enjoy most of the luxuries of life, and pay the cash for it on delivery. A Happy OcciihIob. The handsome residence of Mr. C. H. Walker, No. 700 Champa street, Denver, was the scene of a quiet wedding on Friday evening, Sept. 7th. Mr. J. S. Henrich of the young and prosperous firm of Merriam & Henrich, music dealers, was united in marriage to Miss Mary Steinbaugh of Columbus, Nebraska. Mr. Henrich is the brother of Mrs. C. H. Walker, at whoBe residence the ceremony was performed, the Rev. Mr. Westervelt officiating. The happy couple hare the best wishes of many friends. They were the recipients of a number of valuable presents. Notice. The County Alliance will meet at the Humphrey House, Humphrey, Saturday, Oct. 6th at 10 o'clock a. m. Each subordinate Allianco In the county is requested to send a full del egation, as there will be business of importance to be attended to. D. L. Bruen, Sec'y. Take JSotice. A special convention of the anti monopolists of Platte county will be held in connection with the county allianco at Humphrey, on Saturday, Oct. 6th, to fill vacancies for county officers, caused by resignations. N. Olson, Ch'n Cen. Com. A correspondent of the Drovers' Journal has this to say of Nebraska interests : "With its large corn crop, mild winters and pure bracing atmos phere, Nebraska should be the great feeding state of the Union. The crop of hogs will be the largest eyer shipped from the state, and they will be fully matured. In going over the country you no longer 6ee the long nosed, razor-backed hogs of a few years ago, but the plump Berkshire, the large round and sleek Poland China and the beautiful Chester Whites, though the latter are not sought after much, have taken their place. The slab-sided, raw boned cattle are passing away, and the beau tiful short-horn and white-faced Here fords are taking their place." The New "fliddem Haad." If Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth could have been in the new Opera House last evening, there would have been an auditor no more delighted than herself. The "Hidden Hand," her favorite novel, was brought out more clearly, and the characters she pictured were truer to her conception of them than ever seen in any other attempt made on the stage. Miss Hattie Irving, from the waif of Rag alley, and Capitola Black to Capitola Le Noir, the rich heiress, was a de cided success, and her every appear ance on the stage was met with applause. Billy Robinson's Wool was fine, and kept pace in darkey sayings with the wild caprices of Capitola. The support throughout was good, and the company made many friends. Leavenworth Times. The above criticism, from this well known paper, speaks for itself con cerning Whiteley's "Hidden Hand" Company, that appear at the Opera House on Tuesday evening, Oct. 2d. Secure your reserved seats in advance at Dowty & Kelly's. Perfect Titles To all property bought of Speice & North. 7 The Fair. The third annual fair of the Colum bus Driving Park and Fair Associa tion which opened on Tuesday of last week was undoubtedly the best in respect to a first-rate showing in the various departments that has yet been held in Platte county, 'and had the weather been favorable, the last two days would have witnessed crowds of people at the grounds to admire the exhibits and see the races; bat owing to the bad condition of 'the track on Thursday, caused by Wed nesday night's rain the races for the day were postponed to Friday, the storm of that day compelling the asso ciation to declare all entries for the day off 'and the entry money was refunded. Owing to the absence of the editor and consequent extra duty for the balance of the force, the Journal had no representative in attendance, and our report must necessarily be rather more incomplete than we would like to make it. The principal industries of the county, the raising of cattle, sheep and hogs, and the growing of all kinds of grains, particularly corn, were'represented by a showing that any country might well feel proud of and indicate a future for the state that will soon place Nebraska first among the bright lights in the galaxy of rich and prosperous states of the Union. On every hand we bear jhe splen did exhibit of cattle spoken of in glowing tesms. The showing was far beyond the expectations of any, and would do credit to a much older country. In this department there were about 100 entries, a good share of which were thoroughbred short horns and high grades. J. P. Becker's showing of 17 head of thoroughbred short horns and high bred grades, was a conspicuous and attractive feature In this department. A. M. Winslow's Sons and Sheldon & McDill did themselves great credit by their exhibit of fine pedigreed short-hornB. J. H. Meyer also made a good showing of short-horns and grades. Among other contributors who helped to make up what constituted a magnificent exhibit, were the follow ing: Messrs. Pleyte Bros., Getts & Burns, M. Postle, C. M. Taylor, J. E. C. E. Roberts and P. J. Lawrence, all of whom showed thoroughbred and high grade cattle. Coart Proceedlaajp.
