Honahan. 34-2 We notify each subscriber, every week, of just how his account stands for subscription. If you wish the paper sent you no later than the date printed opposite your name, please drop us a postal card so stating. tf The Boston Ideal Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. drew a small audience to the Opera House Thursday evening. The performance of the company was hardly up to the standard that is de manded in the rendition of this some what overdone special theatrical business. Don't forget the phantom mask ball at the Opera House New Year's eve. With the coming in of the new year at midnight the ladies will as sume the management in accordance with leap year privileges, and a tableau "The Old and New Year" be presented. We believe the Miller Children concert announced for Monday even ing at Maennerchor Hall did not take place for the reason that no audience greeted them. Columbus has had a surfit of amusements lately, which may acconnt for the lack of interest on this occasion. Prof. Seager is being raked over the coals by Denver papers ; it seems that an operetta engineered by him for the avowed purpose of benefiting the home for the friendless, is paying him individually a more handsome sum than some of the music people thing he ought to have. J. W. Taylor, whose farm is in that fertile region where Bellwood is situated, raised the past season 2700 bushels of corn of excellent quality on 45 acres, and 1264 bushels of oats on 19 acres. We judge that good farming, as well as good soil, had something to do with the result. Judge Dundy, in a right-of-way caee from Cass county has held that the assessment of damages was com pleted when the commissioners met and viewed the property, and that appeals from their awards must be made within 60 days from such meet ing, and not from date of filing report. If you want anything in the way of fine goods for Christmas or New Year's presents, go to Dowty & Kel ly's. We have the finest line of Hol iday goods ever offered to the Colum bus trade, consisting of Dressing Cases, Shaving Sets, Albums, Picture Frames, Jewel Cases, Odor Cases, Mirrors, Vases, &c. When yon see a man passing along the street with a very circum spect air, avoiding the jostlings and hand shakes of his jolly friends, and taking "roundings" on the street cor ners instead of turning them squarely, don't be too hasty in concluding that he is "stack up." He may be troubled with the rheumatism. 120 loads of lumber a week, or 20 loads a day, comes to the Cedar Rap ids Lumber Yard, and iB then dis tributed at the same rate. Who says our town is not building up ? If pe pie come in and buildings go up, for one year, at the rate they are- doing now, we will have 3,000 people in twelv momths. Cedar Mqpids Era. i Miss Roso Rickly received a hap py surprise last Friday afternoon by the preconcerted gathering at her home of' some thirty of her little scholars who bad combined to present their teacher with some handsome Christmas offerings. A very hand some photograph album was one of the gifts and is much prised by the recipient. w Many farmers experienced con siderable loss in not getting a good stand, and no little extra work and annoyance by not having proper seed corn last spring. It would be well to profit by this experience and prepare in ample time to avoid its repetition by thoroughly testing all corn to be used for seed, and nsing only that that is perfect. The Jouekal goes to press ahead of time this week. We cannot refrain from stating that on yesterday (Tues day), two marriages were to take place: G. O. Burns and Miss Daisie Swortsley; Charles H. Gillan and Hiss Rebecca H. Elliott. The Jour nal unites its congratulations with those of the many friends of the happy couples. At Omaha h prostitute named Georgia Sinclair was arrested, charg ed with enticing two young girls into her infamous place, by promises of money and jewels, and inducing them to adopt her mode of life, and yet there are those pretending intelli gence who claim that houses of pros titution are a protection to the young girls of a commnnity. The execution authorities of Lin coln seem to regard it as a part of their duty, occasionally, to have the inmates and frequenters of bawdy bouses brought before the police judge and fined. They imagine, per haps vainly, that it iB one of their special functions to at least aid in the execution of the laws, and yet even Lincoln is not a model city. One of onr former citizens has got his name in the Omaha papers. At a recent cake-walk, a cake was awarded to the supposed most grace fully promenading couple. The Bee says that by those who are no doubt competent to judge it is claimed that in all fairness the cake should have been awarded to Colonel Frank Sims, an attache of the Paxton hotel. Business so far during the fall and winter has been something of a dis appointment to oar business men, but it seems reasonable to predict that the latter part of the season may make up in part, at lea9t, for the present dull ness. There is an abundance of pro duce to market and when prices will justify farmers in selling it or when it shall appear no longer politic to hold it, money will begin to move, aud big business no doubt follow. Iowa must agaiu look to her neighbors for her next year's seed corn, and letters of inquiry are already coming to Nebraska wanting to know the state of our corn crop with refer ence to 6eed purposes. We believe the eastern part of this state is not as fortunate in this respect as the west ern and southern portions, but no doubt we can supply the home de mand and again give our sister Iowa a lift out of her difficulty. Hichael Murphy, who lived near Linwood, Butler county, suicided last week by taking concentrated lye. From all accounts the man mast have been somewhat demented, as he has before attempted to take his life. On Tuesday of last week he and bis boy drove to Linwood where he purchas ed a can of lye. On the road home he drove the boy from the wagon by throwing a hatchet at him. The boy got into the wagon again, when the father jumped out and abandoned the team, the boy driving home. When found afterwards it was ascertained that he had eaten a portion of the lye. He opposed all efforts made to relieve him and seemed determined to des troy himself. He was an old settler. Schuyler Sun. Teacker's Assoolaiioa. Following is the program for the meeting to be held in Columbus at the High' School Building, Friday evening, Jan. 11th, 1884. Subjects for papers: Mrs. H. Ballon, "Pri mary Language Training;" Miss Emma Bauer, "How to teach Bota ny ;" Miss Hary Coalter, "Schools and Teachers of the South;" Hr. Shaff, "The Ideal Teacher." Let every teacher in the county try to be pres ent, and also the public at large is invited to attend. Come, patrons, and learn the qualifications and prin ciples of the teachers you are employ ing to train your children ; it is your duty. C. J. Gablow,) H. Bbuggeb, Ex. Com. Edna Siiback,) There iB an organization of regu lators in northern Nebraska, determ ined to make an end of the horse thieving which has been practiced in those parts for a long time. The reg ulators are using Hr. Lamonreux's house, on the Niobrara below Pad dock (about 25 miles north of O'Neill) as a prison and court house. When "suppect8"are captured they are taken to this place, put into the "pen," taken separately into the "grist mill" and thoroughly examined. If the regulators fail to find any evidence of gnilt, the suspects are dismissed, oth erwise they are turned over to the properly-constituted authorities. The CNeltl Frontier, from which we con dense, reports twelve suspects re leased, and six found "guilty," re cently. John Hoyt, who escaped the regulators a week ago, is lying at Creighton with a bullet wound in the leg, and another in the elbow. A dealer at O'Neill received an order from Boone county, on the 19th, for two cofflinB for men who died very suddenly. From all of which it may be inferred, as a general principle, that when communities get roused against criminals it would be safe for the criminals to change their methods or their abodes. Our readers may uot only be in intorested, but may derive some use ful information from the following correspondence relative to the seed corn question, which appeared recent ly in the Omaha Republican: Mb. Thekon Nye, Sir: Knowing that the farmers of Dodge county have had some experience with bad seed corn I thought you might possibly be j good authority on that question. I find that very little corn in this vicin ity is safe to select from for seed, and as I have some which I picked for seed I would like to keep it for that purpose bat am afraid of it from the fact that some of it is mouldy. I made a good open scaffold in the ridge of the barn and put abont twenty bushels away there thinking I would have a march on some of my neigh bors next spring in a lot of good seed corn. A few days ago I went to ex amine it and found a good deal of it as I said, mouldy. I have examined the germs of the mouldy corn and also the germs of that which is not mouldy. The latter look white and healthy although some of them appear a little milky as though not fully ripe or seasoned, as 6ome farmers say. Now can yon or anybody of the read ers of the liepublican from experi ence tell me whether it would be safe to plant that part of the corn which is not actually mouldy? If it is good seed, it is worth more to me than ten times the same amount of market corn. One more question I want to ask. Is it a sure test to sprout corn in the house when the earth which it is planted in and the temperature and light of the room are all as they should be. Please oblige, A Reader. Your corn that is not damaged can not help but be good seed corn. Any undamaged corn which was picked from the field since it was full in the milk and dried before freezing, will grow. The great trouble with seed corn is in its being frozen when full of water which destroys the germ. We have picked corn for seed just as it commenced to glaze, or harden, when it would shrink so, that it would not more than half cover the cob, and when shelled, would not weigh more than oats, and it grew fully a9 well as matured corn, and we thought made a stronger growth. There is no dan ger of seed corn if it is fully dried, before hard freezing. Seed corn should not be stored over hay that has not fully gone through the sweat, neither should it be stored above threshed grain in the same condition. We have known it to be spoiled by such storage. We are uuablo to imag ine any reason why your bright corn is not first-class for seed. We consider the test of sprouting corn in the house, a sure test, if it is kept in about the temperature that we would expect corn to grow in out of doors. It should not bo kept around the stove, which would often sprout corn that would not grow in the earth under unfavorable circumstances. Neither should it be allowed to get too cold, as we might in that way ruin the best of seed. It requires nothing more than good judgment, to test corn in the house. We would advise all farmers who have not already Raved their seod corn, to do so without delay, aud to put it in some place where it can dry as rapidly as possible. Unless this is attended to at once, we may expect far more trouble next spring than last. It certainly seems strange that farm ers cannot learn to save their seed in season, as we have never had a corn crop in Nebraska, that had not fur nished thousands of bushels of good seed if it had only been selected aud cared for in time.

Called to order by the president, Wm. Dean. S. J. Wheeler elected secretary pro tern. The debate appointed was called for, but as one of the chief disputants was absent a motion was made to table the question. A lively discussion followed in which Olsou, Kibbler, Fulford and Wheeler took part. Mo tion carried. A subject for debate was then agreed upon : Resolved that of the two parties, the democratic is to be preferred to the republican Wheeler affirming, Olson denying. Decided in fay or of affirmative. Messrs. Freeman and Bruen took part in debate, also Olson, Kibbler and others. Subject for next debato: Resolved that a protective tariff is an injury to the commonwealth. Kib bler, Olson and Scudder to affirm; Wheeler, Fnlford and Dean, to deny. S. J. Wheeler, Sec'y. liOat Creek thecals. Farmers of this vicinity are mostly through husking and consequently feel jubilant. L. H. Jewell is completing an addi tion to his houRe, which adds greatly to its external appearance, and makes it a very desirable dwelling. Mr. J. E. Moncrief is adding great ly to the looks and convenience of his farm by siding his house, building copious cattle sheds, and putting a nnmber one wind-mill over his new well which is 160 feet deep with a bead of 20 feet of water. HaMpltrey. The Hisses Ottis are home from school during the holidays. Dr. Hampton will put up a building in a few days to nse as an office. Ground has been broken for the new school building near the Catholic church. We have a thin covering of snow and the people are enjoying a little sleighing. H. C. Bloedorn is lying dangerous ly ill of long fever. Martin has the sympathy of many friends who hope bis speedy recovery. There is a load talk and a long talk of procuring the services of Prof. Geer to start a singing school. We hope there will be success in that talk. There are a number of cases of diphtheria north and west of here; J. P. Reteroth has lost five children, and Hr. Dernel has lost three. There are no cases just in this immediate neighborhood. Humphrey is to have a millinery store soon, Hr. John Harek having purchased a building lot' of F. H. Cookingham, and will proceed if the weather will allow to build imme diately for his daughters to start that branch of trade. Last Wednesday evening, notwith standing the severe cold, there was a large company of people gathered at the residence of L. C. Ulry to have a good time and partake of an oyster supper given for the benefit of Rev. Wright, the Baptist preacher who has been preaching at intervals here dur ing the summer. Your correspond ent was agreeably surprised in finding the large and commodious house of Hr. Ulry so well filled with people, and oysters, yes, and cake. Well, the people stayed until about twelve o'clock, aud 4then they did not get away with all the goodies. Our judgment would say that it was a financial success, although I have not heard the amount of cash. C. The School. From Tuesday till Friday noon of last week was occupied by examina tions in the varions departments, the pupils showing good work done dur ing the past term. The written work, one of the best features of school exercises, was more than usually interesting, and proved very gratifying to those who value accuracy and ueatness. There is no doubt but these records will be more valued as their benefit is developed by use. It was a pleasure to teachers and pupils to see so many parents and frieuds of education in attendance, and it might be hoped that the next similar occasiou will witness an at tendance of 100 per cent, of the parents.
