Leach who was visiting friendB at Shenandoah, la., during the holidays, returned home last week to greet her numerous Ne braska friends. Hake up a list of all the news papers and magazines you want for the next year, take it to At & M. Tur ner's and they will give you hand tome redaction in ratea. Wo learn that Barney Beverstock, formerly with L. Kramer of thi3 city, was recently married at Shelby, Ohio. His many friends here tender beir congratulations. L. H. Warner hag become the owner and publisher of the Cedar Ripids Era, having purchased the property from the stock company which founded it. The commissioners of Boone county have made the Cedar Rapids 'Era the official organ of that county, ignoring the two papers published at Albion, the county seat Mr. C. Chinn, of St. Paul, Neb., 1ms purchased Mr. Kelly's interest in D.wty & Kelly's drug store, and here after the business will he managed under the firm name of Dowty & Chinn. Last Saturday was a beautiful winter day and our streets took on their wonted appearance of bustle and business, after the short season of quiet caused by the cold wave just passed. A member of the legal fraternity here suggests the purchase of a large l-i w library, by members of the bar say an initiation lee ot zo, with a payment of $10 yearly. Not a bad :-ingestion. Geo. N. Hall of David City was recently assaulted while going home irom bis place of business at midnight ai:d robbed of $30. It is supposed that murder was the prime object of the assault. Those who have occasion to travel ou railroads will find it to their ad vantage to call upon Mr. Clark, agent for the B. & M. He has tickets to all points, and asks you to come and learn prices. The Women's Christian Temper auce Union of Fremont have a read ing room and a circulating library both good institutions that every intelligent, self-respecting community ought to have. Monday evening Ed. North was twenty-two years old, and the event was duly celebrated by a number of hiB young friends, who partook of a bountiful supper at the residence of Hon. J. E. North. The Journal says that during the last twenty months, the U. P. eating house at Fremont received $25,000, most of which was paid out in the city. Its removal is quite a loss to the business of Fremont. Josie Wells was thrown from his horse, Saturday morning, the horte slipping aud falling npon the lad, fracturing some of the bones of the right foot. The young soldier bore his sufferings very bravely. We notify each subscriber, every week, of ju6t how his account stands for subscription. If you wish the paper sent you uo later than the date printed opposite -your name, please drop us a postal card so stating. tf A. L. Bixby, editor of the Nance County Journal, was in the city Thursday of last week. He made this office a very pleasant call, and left on the evening train for Denver, where he will spend a week or two with friends. Ed. Smith, the manager of the Star Clothing House, has some cheer ing words in this paper, directed to the good people who may want some thing in the line of clothing. Prices tell, and if you call on Edward you will not regret it. Henry Gass received last week a car load of bureaus and bedsteads, and is selling the same at low prices. If you want anything in his line of business, call and get prices, and note the quality of bis goods. It will pay you to buy of him. 37-2 The Nebraska Woman's Suffrage Association will hold a mass conven tion at York Jan. 18th, and on the evening of the 17tb. Reduced rates on the railroads may be obtained by applying to Mrs. M. B. Bond, Lincoln, so writes Mrs. C. B. Colby. According to the Times, the busi ness men of York have organized for the purpose of buyiug corn, paying the highest market price, not to make money directly out of the corn, but to give farmers a market and to hold the trade tributary to the town. D. L. Bruen and John Freeman, delegates from Platte county, started yesterday for the anti-monopoly con vention at Kearney. Both of them are capable of laying down the politi cal gospel from their point of view, and of commanding attention. Echols & Turner have removed their place of business to Olive street, and can be found at the rooms lately occupied by Lubker, Kracse & Co., as ware rooms. Their work as paint ers and paper hangers is first-class in every respect. Give them a call. 2 Mr. Geo. W. Slocking, a Saunders county sheep raiser, was in the city one day last week and called at the Journal office. He was en route to Fullerton, Nance county, with a view to engaging in business in that town, and possibly investing in a tract of land in the vicinity. F. Meyer and A. Alles, who have been residents of Nebraska for three or four years, started yesterday for Alabama, which they expect to make their future home. There is a colony of Germans located in Northern Ala bama, with which these gentlemen expect to cast their lot. The official who does not intend to enforce laws that may be obnox ious to his own feelings, can nearly always plead the apathy of public opinion, which, however, ought not entirely soothe the conscience of him who has taken a solemn oath to exe cute the laws pertaining to his office. Owners of hogs will do well to look to their feed and care now. Hog cholera is reported in various points in the state. Nebraska had her bitter experience of this disease years ago, and if, as many suppose, it was caused mainly by the monoto nous feed of corn, it will befell to 1 vary the feed a little. An old subscriber, remitting mon ey for more than a year in advance, writes : "We still like the Journal ; wife grumbled a little when Judge A. C. laid down the scissors and gave up manipulating the outsides, still I notice that out of fourteen papers that find their way to onr boose, she sorts out the Jouenal." The infant child of Brother Hens loy of the Democrat was very serious ly ill last week. So critical was the little fellow's condition on Wednes day evening that the attending physi cian could not give the anxious par ents any encouragement to hope their child would live. At this writing, however, he is rapidly recovering. A Fable. Once upon a time a preacher, in a very lengthy sermon, undertook to demonstrate the general proposition that man is mortal. He labored assiduously, and at the end of the discourse there was not an intelli gent man in the congregation who would have disputed the truth of the proposition, any more than he would have done before. A liquor dealer at O'Neill has sought the protection of law against several men who shot through his windows, lamps, etc., by having them arrested for drunkenness. Every class of citizens needs the protection the law gives against those who in vade the legal rights of others, aud hence all right-minded people should be in favor of enforcing the laws of the land. Wm. J. Wynand, of Walker pre cinct, was in the city Saturday, and by a little incidental conversation he disclosed to us the fact that he is working into the tame grasses, having succeeded in getting a fine stand of 10 acres of timothy, from which he has taken two good crops, and he in tends soon to put in another lot. He cultivated his first lot on wheat stub ble and had good success. Last Saturday, as an east-bound U. P. freight pulled out from the depot, a gentleman who had a car load of fat cattle billed for through shipment without delay, side-tracked aud waiting at this point, might have been heard in no very measured terms expressing his disapproval of the conductor who for some reason failed to take the cattle, departing with his train only about half loaded. At Judge Gaslin's last term of court in Buffalo county, a man who had forged a note for fifteen dollars was given fifteen years' bard labor iu the penitentiary. It was a pretty heavy sentence, but, as tho judge ex plained, be knew the man and gave him fourteen years on general princi ples. Hastings Journal. The judge probably went upon the theory that the man had acted up to the full measure of bi& ability to negotiate. The Swedes who moved to Ne braska from Illinois and settled in communities together, have generally (so far as we have observed) entered largely into the raising of broom corn, and they make it pay. The Wahoo Tribune Bays: "LaBt week Mr. Frank Peterson sold eight and a half tons of broom corn at $90 per ton. This was raised on thirty-five acres of ground, making a return of nearly $22 per acre from the ground cultivated." Levi Jenkins of Madison county arrived here Monday on his way home from a visit to old friends in Illinois and Iowa. Before this trip, in all the years since he has lived in Nebraska, he has not been further away from homo than Lincoln. Like the visits east of all Nebraskans that we hear tell of, Mr. Jenkins enjoyed himself first-rate and was treated splendidly, but he is more than ever assured that Nebraska is the place to have a farm. Our contemporary, the Sun, has changed bands, Mr. McMurphy, late of Plattsmoutb, this state, succeeding Messrs. Cady & West. Since the latter gentlemen assumed control of the Sun they have made it a paper second to none in the etate as a county newspaper, and as we understand Mr. McMurphy is an experienced news paper man, we predict for the readers of the Sun a first-class paper in the future, ab it has been in the past. Schttyler Herald. The ColumbuB correspondent of the Norfolk Journal, whoever he may be, has, we are told, been saying some "unprctty" things concerning our board of supervisors. The board, so far, seem to be getting In some very good work, and this Jouenal rather surmises that if they keep looking after affairs right along as sharply as they have started out (and they are the kind of men to do so) the tax payers of old Platte will have no reason to grumble. It is understood that the B. & M. road will not get into Grand Island without a contest with the U. P. There will probably be a brief contest after it gets in, and then business will be come monotonous and uninteresting again to the general public. Numer ous roads don't always make compe tition in prices, and unless a town is so large aB not to take much account of an additional railroad or two, it would seem that for all ordinary pur poses one road is sufficient. Mayor Whitcomb of Seward en forces the law in regard to liquor dealers, aud Instrncts his subordinates as to their duty in suppressing all in famous practices. The Seward mayor has, therefore, no bawdy-houses in his jurisdiction. Recently a 6trumpet visited the place, was arrested (with her male companions) and the Blade, after giving all names and particulars, says : "We believe it is right to pub lish the names of anybody who will get down low enough to be caught in such company nnder such circum stances. Parents having young girls ought to know who it is that is guilty of such shameful conduct, so they can guard against them." Under date of Jan. 4th, Joseph Gardner writes U9 from Walker, la., that he was snowed in at that place, that the snow was a foot deep on the level, and that from 7 a. m. to 5 p. m. the train had made only 60 miles and stuck in a snow bank for the night ; the passenger train of the day before was in a like condition 50 miles ahead. At 9:40 a. m. of the 5tb, the ther mometer marked 37 degrees below. This incident in Mr. Gardener's trip shows that the cold wave swept Iowa also. An interesting law question late ly came up at Hastings. Notes were secured by chattel mortgage. Under the "insecure" clause common in such instruments, the mortgagee took pos session and sold tho goods bofore the notes became due, and now brings suit for a balance yet due. The Jour nal remarks that the present practice of foreclosing chattel mortgages is rather arbitrary, and suggests that the proper method would be some thing like the foreclosure of real es tate mortgages. A special meeting of the school board was appointed for Monday evening at Speice & North's office ; a meeting of the Cemetery Association superseded tbem. The latter held tbeir annual meeting, electing their officers for the next year same as last. The treasurer reported a bal ance on bands of $507.94. Tho fenc ing of the cemetery grounds was left to the executive committee, Messrs. Ernst and North. There seems to be a difference of opiniou as to whether the fence should be of iron or wood. We believe there is an exhibition to be given in Columbus this evening, the nature and character of which does not commend it very strongly to a respectable, intelligent commu nity. Some sluggers from Omaha will exhibit their skill in the "knock- ing-on." science. Physical power, when rightly directed, is a great blessing, the value of which cannot be overestimated, and causes deserved admiration for its possessor, but when prostituted to exhibitions that appeal only to the brutal feelings, it Is con temptible. The Central City Nonpareil, in a little discourse upon the treatment of newspapers by "hosts of little-souled, narrow-contracted people," who ex pect the local newspaper to be "a sort of public convenience at its own ex pense." The fraternity proper will subscribe to the closing sentiment: "A newspaper is not a beggar, and should be willing to stand on a foot ing with other business, but when it comes to asking it to give about half its resources, and then attempt to beat it down on the other half, the strength of liberality is a little on the extreme." Uncle Morton, a grain man of Chicago, tells a very short story con cerning an Irish friend of his, a mem ber of the Board of Trade, who had bought largely of hog product, and was pondering over the amount of his losses on a falling market. "What is the matter, John, you look very sober about something ?" "I was thinking," said John. "Well, what were you thinking of that makes you look so sober? asked Morton. "I was just thinking," said John, "that the hog is a contrary animal while be is alive, and uo less so after he is dead." The following from the Lincoln Journal will be of interest to Ohio soldiers living iu this part of the state : "At the last re-union of the G. A. R., held at Hastings, the Ohio soldiers met and perfected an organization, and instructed Col. E. P. Roggen, their secretary, to take immediate steps towards preparing a list of Ohio soldiers. The colonel has labored faithfully ou what has seemed to be an endless task, and tho work is now nearing completion, and when finish ed will comprise 1,400 names, repre senting all but two or three Ohio regiments. Wc understand rosters will be mailed to each comrade whose name appears thereon." At this time wheu snide shows are fairly flooding the state, aud have nearly exhausted the patience of a much suffering public, it is refreshing to be able to announce the coming of an entertainment with an establish ed reputation one that travels on its merits and does not ask to be taken "on trial." Such is the popular Sam Lucas Colored Comic Opera Com pany, billed for next Wednesday evening at the Opera House. They will appear in the new operetta, en titled "The Dude," in three acts writ ten expressly for this organization, in which they have appeared with uni versal satisfaction in their tour of the principal towns of the state. There is no use in mincing mat ters or piling up words to no good end. If a law is good, enforce it ; if a law is bad, enforce it still, so that it will the sooner be repealed and out of the way. The executive or judicial officer, sworn to enforce or interpret the laws, who fails to do so, to the best of his knowledge and ability, in other words, the men who do not in tend to do their duty, should receive all the blame that comes from the violation of law, because a little lax ity in the official begetB considerable license in the criminal. When the law can be violated with impunity, it simply means that the criminal class or tbeir sympathisers are in power. We are indebted to Mr. Wm. H. Weeks, one of Grand Island's typo graphical orotnernoou, for a very pleasant call Monday morning. He tells us that he has graduated from publishing a daily paper, a thing we were not at all surprised to hear. It seems to us that it would take a pretty good sized national bank to ruu a daily any where in Nebraska outside of Omaha and Lincoln, and even there, only the enterprise and vim of the business men makes it possible. We may say, however, that we have been surprised that Hastings so handsome ly supports her daily paper, which is by all odds the best representative she has to make her known to the ontside world. The committee appointed to so licit subscriptions for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the re union have, so far, met with com mendable success, and feel encour aged over the prospect. Our citizens need not be backward in imisting upon the meritorious claims of Co lumbus as against any other place in the state. To be brief, it is centrally located with complete railroad facili ties in every direction; a splendid place for encampment, with shade, shelter and most excellent water; a commodious and nice opera house, where the visiting comrades can be entertained with music and drama; nearly a score of churches where the church militant can meet ; fine roads for drives into tho country in every direction, besides which we have a people who in all things will deal fairly and justly with the hosts that will gather at the re-union. Tke PlaMter's Wife Will be presented Friday evening, Jan. 18th, at the Opera House by the Edwin Clifford Dramatic Compauy. The troupe is a favorite one, and they will doubtless have a good house. The Sioux City Journal remarks con cerning a recent rendering of the play at that place : Miss Stanley's support was good throughout, and especially on the part of Mr. Clifford, who at times pleased the audience with some vory effective acting. Haven in his char acter of Simeon Cincoe, fairly set the bouse wild, and has established his reputation as a first-class comedian. He is immensely funny, and to miss seeing and hearing him is to miss a good thing. Lanagan and Miss Haven are also deserving of especial mention for the very pleasant way in which they carried through their parts, and if Burton could only un bend a trifle, and be a villian with a little more sang froid in his composi tion, he would be a little more ac ceptable." Alllaace Itfeetlag. January 12, 1884. The Grand Prairie and Shell Creek alliances met at the Redenbaugh school-house, the president D. L. Bruen, in the chair. Minutes of the last meeting read and approved. On motion, the alliances were con solidated. This alliance hereafter will be known by the name of Banner alliance. The following officers were duly elected for the next six months : J. W. Mullen, president, David Streeter, vice president, D. L. Brueu, secretary, H. S. Redenbaugh, treas urer. The following delegates were duly elected to attend the state alliance, which will be held at Kearney, Neb., Jan. lGth, 17th: D. L. Bruen, J. S. Freeman, J. W. Mullen, H. S. Reden baugh. We were glad to see Mr. Potts of Columbus present. Several speeches were made on miscellaneous subjects. It appears that the alliance in Ne braska is gaining strength rapidly. Stick to it, brother farmers, right will come. Meeting adjourned to meet February 9th, 1884, at 7 o'clock p. m. Everybody iuvited to be present. D. L. Bruen, Sec'y. Haaapkrey. Dr. Hampton has his office nearly finished. Busiuess is quiet for the beginning of the new year. T. Woods moved to town last week from Leigh, Nebraska. B. R. Cowdery was in town Thurs day night last on business. How many, from force of habit, have been writing January, 1883, during the mouth? Is your cellar proof against Frost? Jack bos been prying around town to get iuto cellars. I suppose to get out of the cold. G. W. Clark received a nice lot of job printing from the Journal office last week, with which be expresses himself well pleased. F. M. Cookingham is puttiug up a building 16x20 to use as an office, also book and notion store; Wm. Abbott is doing the carpenter work. An effort is bring made to have a singing school here. Prof. Geer iB to instruct the class ; meets every Wed nesday eve. We hope that this will be a success. C. The Supervisor. Editor Journal : I wish to say a few words through your columns in reply to an article published in the Norfolk Journal, on Township Or ganization, but the writer failed to say much on that subject. The drift of his conversation was directed to the actions of the board of supervisors ; he would have the dear people of Platte county to know they had sent a set of numbskulls to represent their interests, and further an outsider must infer from the tenor of talk, they act green, look green, and work green. This would be the natural conclusion, and the only task they would be com petent for would be feeding cattle. I will bet the writer a gourd seed he cannot tell by the looks of a toad how far be can jump. Then remember this that no man's tiny fingers were made to scratch out people's eyes. No ; not even with pen and ink. Some men are wise in tbeir own conceit, so wise they imagine all others fools. This imaginary wisdom of theirs leads tbem to believe tbey are proph ets, capable of prophesying and fore telling future events. I would sug gest to the anti-man, as long as he lives in a gloss house not to throw stones, aud to remember wc have read about prophets, ghosts, bugbears, &c, aud still got the first one to see.
