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

for the work.
M. B. Hoxie is in St. Louis under

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 :

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,

the constitutional questions and de
liver a charge to the pastor. Rev.
Joshua Riale of Papillion, Neb., will

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.

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.

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.
