Our rejoinder to J. E. North's communication has been crowded over to next week, also our regular Humphrey letter and other local matter. Messrs. Lindsay & Trekell have erected for the accommodation of their business a commodiouB ware house on N street, adjacent to the U. P. switch. Hope there is no lack of faith expressed in merely remarking that it begins to look as if the "seed time and harvest" are liable to crowd each other a little. Charley and Al. Rickly are "mak ing arrangements to emigrate to the White Itiver country, and expect to make the trip by team, starting about the first of May. J. G.

A number of scholars left the school, so says the Herald. The Creaton (la.) Gazette says that in two days one hundred and eighty cars of emigrants and their property passed through that town bonnd for Nebraska.

A., and had not seen these cousins for about 30 years. Dr. P. Dougherty, late of Chicago, has located in the city for the practice of his profession and has an office with Dr. Wilson two doors east of postoffice. His card appears in an other place in the Jourxal. W. R. Compton's horse ran away with him one day last week, breaking his buggy, and injuring the horse somewhat, but doing no further dam age. Will has an enlarged notion of the strength of a horse now. The work on the Loup bridge awarded to Baker & Mead was promptly and satisfactorily completed and was accepted ten days ahead of the time named in the contract. The bridge is now in good shape. In dried fruits you can find the best line at John Heitkemper's, such as cherries, raspberries, currants, Cal ifornia prunes, plums, apricots, fancy dried peaches, apples, huckleberries, etc. Please call and examine.

White and John Haney took eleven cars of fat cattle to Chi cago last week. The market was rather weak. Those who sold in Jan. and Feb. hit the best prices. Friday, the 4tb, Mrs. Speilman who has been teaching in the Knm mer district in Polk county cloeed her school. Mrs. Speilman was well liked by both parents and pupils and gave entire satisfaction to the school board. The late "spell of weather" which has visited this part of the foot-stool will carry the old-timer in memory back to the days of blizzards in April and the general uncivilized deport ment of the weather of the early days. Adolph Berger, has furnished our citizens with excellent home-made brooms for the past twelve years while residing in Polk county. He has now concluded to move to Colum bus aud open a factory at Gross Bros, old stand on 13th street. W. T. Rickly, who lately moved to Fcllerton where he has opened a meat market, was in the city Satur day. Sorry to notice that Will is suffering from a lame arm caused from a blow of the windlass while engaged in hoisting a beef. The Fremont Tribune makes the following comment on the result of our city election: "The republicans of Columbus (in a strongly democrat ic county) elected their mayor by a handsome majority. Enthusiasm is I manifesting itself along the line." 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 any other tore is tows. Wn. Becker. 43-3n The masquerade ball at the Opera House Monday night under the man agement of E. W. Ott was quite large ly attended, although the evening was anything but propitious. We have not space for details. The program was carried out to the satisfaction of all. J. W. Love, of Fremont, places the Graff lands just east of Columbus on the market at prices that are low. These are fine lands and many of our citizens have waited a long time for a chance to buy them. See his adver tisements with numbers and prices elsewhere. x The contract for repairing the Platte bridge has been let to Baker & Mead, and they say they will have the same ready for travel by Saturday next. The contract was let by the bridge committee, the supervisor of the town declining to assume the re sponsibility. J. Gardner, of Butler precinct, shipped not long ago 530 bushels of corn raised on his farm to Y. W. Johnson, of Waucoma, Iowa, about which Johnson says : "I'm well pleas ed with the corn and want more of it ; it is the best that has been shipped to this county." At a meeting of the Columbus Athletic Association on Tuesday evening last week the following offi cers were elected: President, John Wiggins; treasurer, David Dowty; secretary, Chas. Mockby ; J.W.Early, Carl Kramer, O. L. Baker and Geo. Spooner directors. I would say to my customers and others that I am prepared to furnish yon 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 Chas. Atkins, who has been the gentlemanly operator at the telephone exchange in this city for some time, went to Lincoln yesterday, where he has accepted the position of inspector for the same company. Charley is a first-class young man, and will make hosts of friends wherever he goes. V. A. Macken's new 6aloon on Eleventh street is very tastefully fit ted up, shines like a new dollar so to speak, aud Mac. and his gentlemanly assistant hold themselves in readiness to greet their customers and wait on them at their new quarters. As a caterer in liquid delights Mac. is an artist, and his house is always order ly. 51-1 George Davis, a boy about 10 years old, left home about three weeks since in company with two other boys. It is supposed the boys went west. He had on dark clothes, cap, red flannel shirt and boots. Any word of his whereabouts sent to his widowed mother Mary Davis of this city, will relieve her mind of great anxiety and distress. We are reliably informed that the heaviest stock holders of the C. B. & Q. R. R. have lately purchased U. P. stock enough to give them a controll ing interest in their road also. This would seem to explain why this road has been opposed to cutiing rates and a railroad war, and is probably the reason of the C. B. & Q. having decid ed to enter the tripartie pool. Grim winter shows a decided in clination to kick against the incroach ments of gentle spring, which is hav ing a hard time to assert itself in a becoming manner. The atmosphere has been too cold for rain and rather warm for snow and a sort of com promise between the two has made very unpleasant and unseasonable weather since the advent of April. Parents of boys about the city should investigate the fact to know if their boys carry and use "sling shots." The other day no less than nine panes of glass were broken out of the church of the Latter Day Saints and many other windows about the city are being broken in the same way. It is probable that parents may be held responsible for damage done in this way. Messrs. Condon & McKenzie have purchased the grocery stock of Pat Hays and will continue the business at the old stand. Mr. McKenzie is a young man lately from Montreal, Canada, who comes among us to stay and cast his lot with the business in terests of Columbus. Dan Condon is known to be a power in whatever be undertakes. No doubt the new firm will prosper. The David City Tribune says the bar of that place have bad no official notice of a challenge to play a game of base ball with the lawyers of Columbus. That settles it. If a chal lenge must be framed and notice given that will leave no technical grounds for an "I object," the rules governing the great national game will have to be revised if the Colum bus and David City lawyers ever come together. A man by the name of Dingman was shot and dangerously wounded at Seward the other day by constable Leiter of that place. Leiter was in the act of serving a warrant on Ding man who he claims resisted arrest and assaulted him by seizing bim by the throat with both hands, when he drew his gun and fired, the ball entering Dingman's side. Leiter gave himself up and is now under bond awaiting the resnlt of Dingman's injuries. If you want anything in the way of painting, paper hanging or decor ating, leave orders at Geo. N. Derry's paint shop, where you will find the best and largest stock of wall paper and window shades in town. For reference a3 to quality of work in quire of J. W. Early, Louis Weaver or Dowty & Chinn, where he put up ceilings in first-class style ; these were put up alone by Mr. Derry, and as to his reliability, everyone knows that he means what be says, every time. , Give bim a call. Henry Rickert was in the city Saturday and called at the Journal office.

Sent postpaid to anyone sending at once .the names of fifteen married ladies and 30 cents in postal note, or 18 two cent stamps. Address ROCHESTER rUBLISHIXG CO., 32, 33 & 33 1-2, Osburn Block, Rochester, N. Y. The following sentiment uttered by a leading daily paper of the east in commenting on the Cincinnati riot is applicable to every community with regard to all wrongs, moral, political or social : Public opinion is made by the men who go to the polls, who go to the primary meetings, who express their views on the questions of the day in speech or writing. If those whose advice is best worth having, abstain from exercising the influence that justly belongs to them, dull men or bad men, or men with private ends to serve, or private crotchets to air, will take helm; but if the vessel runs aground the incompetent man at the wheel deserves less blame, on the whole, than the captain who abandons the post. An accident occurred in this city one day last week that should be an impressive waruing against the care less disposition of loaded firearms. P. W. Albaugh's two little boys, aged about 4 and 7 years, were left by the mother at a neighbors' house to stay until her return from an errand up town. Going into the house the little fellows found no one At borne, but did find a loaded revolver lying on a table, which the oldest one picked up and began handling. In some man ner the piece was discharged into the body of the younger boy, who hap pened to stand in range, the ball, which was a 32-calbre, entering above and in front of the right hip and pass ing entirely through the lower part of the abdomen, made its exit on the left side. Fortunately the wound in flicted, though very painful is not considered dangerous and at this writing the child is in a fair way to soon recover Shell Creek Item. Mr. David Thomas, after a linger ing illness since last fall, is seen about again. School in district 31 has closed. The teacher, Miss Lizzie A. Hills, had come among us as a stranger, is es teemed highly and beloved by par ents and children. The district meeting was pretty well attended. In regard to the time and amount of school for the ensuing year, some lively discussion took place, but at last a resolution was almost unanimously adopted. It was to this effect, viz: Resolved, That we will have seven months school, viz: from May 1st to July 1st, and from November 1st to April 1st. Taxes levied 10 mills. Number of children 49. Mr. H. S. Elliott was unanimously elected as moderator. Loat Creek. April 14th, 1SS4. Editor Journal : As promised, I will send you a few items from this place. Our little town is improving in a way quite gratifying to all. A new blacksmith shop has been built, and through the energy of Rev. Little a new Presbyterian church will be erected this summer ; also a motion was carried at the recent school meet ing to build a large new school house for the accommodation ot the many scholars of the district. Miss Moncrief. a cousin of our county superintendent, has engaged to teach our summer school. Willard Chapin has sold his farm to Mr. Murdock from Kentucky, who has arrived with a large stock of horses. Willard goes to Fullerton. We wish him well. Chas.
