The Wells Fargo Express office will be removed from the B. & M. depot to Dowty & Chinn's drag store, David Dowty having been appointed agent. One of our citizens says that he is more concerned abont the loose cattle in town that commit depredations than he is about the futnre welfare of the soul. Dr. Wilson has removed his office to 12th St., over S. C. Smith's land office. His residence now is the Spielman property north of the B. & M. depot. O. C.

' The only safe way is to deal With men yon thoroughly know to be fair. We have heard of several farmers who have been badly bit lately by not following this rule. Roads in' the bottom are declared by all travelers to be very muddy, of course that means very for Nebraska, and we haven't seen any mud that is more than six inches deep. The German Military Band billed to appear at the Opera House Satur day evening last failed to materialize, the supposed cause being the late washouts which have delayed trains. Yesterday the citizen's committeo consisting of Carl Kramer, Jno. Wig gins and D. Schupbacb, let the con tract to O. L. Baker for building the Loupe bridge at $969 if done by April 25th. Monday Geo. Derry was putting the finishing touches to the inside painting on the building to be occu pied by Theo. Friedhof (next door south) as a clothing department to his store. Charles C.

At Small's skating rink, Monday evening, prizes were given for the most graceful Bkating,.the first, a watch charm, being voted to Miss Phoebe Phillips, the Becond, a napkin ring, to Miss Mary Tschudy. We notify each subscriber, every week, of just how his account stands for subscription. If yon wish the paper sent yon no later than -the date printed opposite your naoplease drop us a postal cardso staUftg; tf The tree planting sejj':ijdraw ing near. Let every profcfcrtp owner of the city resolve that Jher season shall not pass without seme, improve ment of this kind. Our "city is de plorably behind hand in this respect. Major North is very busy just now arranging for the Wild West Show which will open in St Louis the first week in May. They expect to go to England in September, hav ing already made engagements there. Eleventh street is just now the muddiest thoroughfare in the city. The street needs draining and grad ing badly, which shonld be attended to as soon as possible. In the mean time, the mud is being mitigated by loads of hay. Now that spring time has come, and the house is being overhauled, you will find, perhaps, that yon need some article of foraitare, forboth use and ornament, in which case J. E. Munger would be pleased to show you his well-selected stock. 47 I often hear of people looking around for good teas and coffees. If yon will come to my store and give me a chance, I think I can suit yon on either good tea or coffee; I think I carry a greater variety than tay other tore in tows. Wa. Becker. 43-3v F. H.LeDac, a former resident of Columbus for a short time, bat for the last twelve years a hardware merchant at Oakdale,died at the lat ter place on the 10th.. His remains were taken to Charleston, South Car olina, for burial. We are in receipt of No. 3 of The Shining Way. published at David City by Geo. L. Brown, at 50 cents a year. It contains a great many good things, even for those that do not be lieve in senctification or holiness, as a human experience. We are informed that the Base Ball Clnb here have concluded to wait till later in the season before making another effort to secure the organization of a state league, so far, very few responses having been re ceived to the circular sent ont. The pile driver with a large force of men were doing everything possi ble to repair the washout between Fremont and Valley Saturday. Son day evening trains were running west again over the road and it is presumed that repairs have been completed. E. D. FitzpaUick has returned from his trip east He went as far as Cleveland, Ohio, bis old home," and enjoyed his visit very much. While he notices seme improvements going on in the east he says they are nothing to compare with what the west is doing. The washout on the U. P. between Fremont and Valley proved more ex tensive on Saturday than was at first supposed. Friday and Saturday the overland and Denver trains left Omaha by the B. & M. by way of Lin coln and run to Kearney where they took their own line. I would say to my customers and others that I am prepared to furnish you the White Lilly flour, manufac tured at Becker & Welch's mill, which is the best flour made from spring wheat and sold in this market. I would like the good bread bakers to try it Wm. Becker. 43-3m We understand that there is a movement being made here toward organizing a local circle of the Chau tauquau Literary School, "which aims to promote habits of reading and study in connection with the routine of daily life." We shall have more to say of this hereafter. There is no donbt of the benefits to be derived 4rom the organization. John Huber was at St. Edwards last Friday and in the evening was the invited guest of the dancing club of that place at a select hop given at Hardy Hall. Abont thirty-five couple were in attendance. From the enthu siastic manner in which John speaks of the enchanting music and the gen eral good time, it is safe to conclude that the St Edwards people know how to treat their visitors. January 20, 1883, Frank Giliett bought of Col. Stevens a cow and her young calf, also another calf, costing him altogether $35. The increase has been such that, if he had not sold, he wonld now have 2 cows, 1 yearling and 2 calveB, all in less than fifteen months, from $35 and cost of keeping. Frank thinks if the same percentage could be held good right along, any mau could get rich raising cattle. Those of our readers who see this paragraph are assured that if they want government land in Nebraska, with anything like an assortment to select from, they had better look after it pretty soon. From all indications, not only the numbers that have al ready made their appearance, but also those on their way thither, Nebraska will receive more accessions to her popnlation this year than in any pre vious year of her history. Krause, Lubker & Co. have an extensive advertisement in to-day's Journal, which speaks for itself. These gentlemen have built up a big business at their place near the B. & 31. depot on 13th street, but having the facilities, they purpose still fur ther enlarging their borders, in a business sense. Look over their ad vertisement, and if you are wanting anything in their line, be sure tbey will satisfy you both in goods, iu prices, and in treatment The Domestic sewing machine, sold by A. & M. Turner, at their book and music store on Nebraska Avenue, also by G. W. Kibbler, traveling salesman, is one of the best sewing machines ever manufactured. Those who have bought them and used them are universally well pleased with their work. Perfectly easy to understand, readily managed, easy running, abso lutely uothing necessary (for years often) for repairs, they are very desi rable. If you want a machine don't tail to examine before buying. A meeting of citizens was held at the Town Hall this city Thursday evening to take some action to re place the Loop bridge washed away. John Hammond was appointed chair man and C. A. Newman, secretary. D. Anderson moved that John Wig gins, Carl Kramer and D. Schupbacb be appointed a committee to solicit funds and replace the bridge, which motion was carried and the commit tee appointed. It was estimated that it would take at least $1200. The committee have had reasonable suc cess in securing subscriptions. There is no donbt bnt oil cake is an excellent thing for stock, but peo ple generally have had no idea that its fattening properties- were so good as the following paragraph, clipped from the Nebraska Farmw, wonld indicate : "A bnnch of fourteen steers (grade) were fed for. market, begin ning November 5". Their weight was 17,476 pounds. These steers were sold in Chicago, January 25, and this is the result: Scck yard weight, 22,210 pounds; add for shrinkage during shipment, 50 pounds each, 700 pouads; total, 22,910 pounds. An increase ia 80 days of 5,434 ponnds, or an average gain of 367 ponnds per head. Daring this time 8,500 pounds ef oil cake were used, and was fed with corn and bay. No each result coild have been obtained without the at ef graved ail cake. A Challenge. Walker b Wells, attorneys of Columbus, have issued a challenge to the members of the But ler county bar to play a match game of base ball as soon as the wcathor will permit. They offer to pay all ex penses of the Butler county club, and propose to put the following nine in the field : Walker, c, Wells, p., Judge Post, s. s., Judge Higgins, 1st b., J. C Martin, 2d b., James Reeder, 3d b., Judge 1. 1, Col. Whitmoyer, c. f., M. K. Turner, r. f. The following members of the Butler county bar are requested to take off their coats, and practice to fill the following posi tions: Backus, c, Hon. J. C Rob erts, p., Hon. Horace Garfield, s. s., E. R. Dean, 1st b., W. H. Westover, 2d b., W. H. Fuller, 3d b., J. Robt Williams, 1. f., R. M. Sibbett, c. f., G. E. Waldo, r. f., Judge Perkins, sub stitute, and S. Ciingman to carry water. Matt Miller will umpire, Jesse Evans guard the bats, and Mc Loud and Wolfenbarger act as scor ers. Dean and Westover being the only truly great anti-monopolists in the gang, it is requested, out of res pect for their tender conscience, that the pitcher favor them with easy balls, so they will not bat them over on R. R. land. Ulysses Dispatch. Explsusatery. Creston, March 25, 1884. Editor Journal, Dear Sir: I no tice in the Journal of 19th inBt. a request by a couple of geutlemen to me to publish the correct minutes of the last county alliance. What do they mean? If you do not think the report is correct the minutes are at my house, open for your inspection. If you do not like the way they read I am not to blame for the committee's doings. Any inteution of theirs, "good or bad," I am not responsible for. No use in adding insult to in jury. Secretary. firaad Opealajc or Millinery deed. Notions, ladies suits and spring wraps. Having recently returned from the eastern markets with a new and complete line of the above goods, we invite the people and our friends to come and examine our stock of the very finest PARIS PATTERNS as well as all other new shapes of hats from the cheapest to the finest for ladies, misses and children, also ele gant line of neckwear and complete line of notions as well as fine ladies suits and wraps. March 28th and 29th, 1884. Mrs. Stump. Meeting: ef the Co. Committee. The republican county central com mittee is hereby called to meet at the Journal office, Columbus, Monday, March 31st, 1884, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of calling a county convention to elect delegates to the congressional district convention at Norfolk, April 29th, 1884, and to the state convention at Lincoln, May lBt, 1884, and to transact such other busi ness as may properly come before it. A full attendance of the committee is earnestly requested. M. K. Turner, Cbairmau, Platte county republican central committee. llamphrey. Some horses will baik. F. H. Baker's family have moved on the farm lately purchased by them a little ways from town. D. J. Drebert and wife baye been paying their friends at West Point a visit during' the past week. The Catholic school building is being rapidly put up and promises to be an ornament to Humphrey. Rev. Mr. Tucker preached au able sermon Sunday afternoon from the text, "Be not weary in well doing." By a meeting held Saturday even ing of the trustees we learn that the town is to have sidewalks. Thanks. We learn from Rev. M. Tucker that the church building will be put up without much delay, that there haB been douated by the church at large the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars, and have loaned our good people here the sum of three hundred dollars; now the only thing remain ing for us to do is to put our shoulder to the wheel, and the collector will call on those subscribed to pay the first of April and business will pro ceed at once. May God speed the work through willing hands here. In looking over the hash served up and delivered by the Democrat of last week wc would like to ask is it not a little old ? While "Auut Juru sha" and "Mystic." served theirs up badly and it looks somewhat falsely, for Miss Clark was not married at Humphrey at all; also Mr. Baker's chief business will be the harness business in town as usual, and the seasoning was poor in deputy post master item, and a little too much put in the Trout item, and as for "Mystic" or Miss Tick of Platte Cen tre we have one dealer here who says he can, for chalk or cash, by a show of book account prove that he alone has shipped more grain from the village of Humphrey (which by the way is on the same brauch as Platte Centre) than all the dealers combined at P. C. Show up or shut up. C. School ateport Dint. No. . Report for the month ending March 20tb, 1884.

Mary Reinke, Annie Aortas, Ross Rickert, Agnes Runge, Emma Runge, Anthony Hengler, David Lusche, Adolph Rickert, Rudolph Rickert aud Wm. Lusche. The above roll of honor comprises the pupils that were present every day. As a teacher my greatest desire is to be in the midst of a school of work ers. And I hereby take the pleasure (judging from the progress made and the interest that is manifested in the work) iu saying we have been suc cessful in having such. I hereby offer my sincere thanks to citizens for their kind co-operation during the term. But the sad part of my report is, yet twenty days more and then Time in his inexorable flight will bring our school to a close well we need a rest. Haoress D. Shaff, Teacher. Oar School. The winter term of our schools closed on Friday last ; we have one week's vacation, thus giving the teachers an opportunity of attending the State Teacher's Association at Lincoln this week, of which many will avail themselves. Examinations in all the grades were held on Thursday aud Friday. These examinations are made to bear di rectly upon the character of the work, and have but little reference to "grading" and "classification upon a basis of per cents" terms which we hope to render entirely obsolete in our schools. They are but relics, with several other forms of educational barbarisms which have grown up and gone to seed under the graded sys tem, of a vast and complicated "ma chine," which contemplates the indi vidual pupil only as so much matter to be worked over. It is a mistake to suppose that educational work is a mere regime of processes and "meth ods" to be gone through with as per catalogue. The individual pupil gives the teacher his methods, and the wants of that pupil outline his work. A proper individual relationship be tween teacher and pupil is the siim mun bonum in school work. In other words school work must be carried on by teachers and not by operatives. The general character of the work shows a decided improvement over that of a year ago. The power of expression in pupils of the same grade is a case in point. The plan of using the language instead of teaching technical grammar is bringing out good results where faithfully tried, and its ultimate success is no longer problematical. A marked improvement in the mat ter of penmanship in most of the grades is also a very encouraging fea ture of our school work. Our pres ent plan brings this much neglected branch into proper relationship with other branches, aud results corres pond with our expectations. X. Real Estate Transfer.
