The presentation of "Above the

show that it was well appreciated and
is entitled to be chronicled a success.

Road supervisor Morse who has
had in charge the laying down of the
old flooring, and putting on of the
railing of the old parts of the Loupe
and Platte bridges, is entitled to
credit for the promptness with which
it has been done, he having paid the
cash necessary to secure sufficient
belp'Jbr the work for which he will
take the orders of the county. He
informs us that the railing on the
Loupe bridge has been left incom
plete as to bracing, etc., for the pur
pose of getting the Platte bridge in
crossable shape as soon as possible,
but will receive hi? attention again,
aad'will be made as substantial as the
old material will permit.
At the Platte bridge the other
day, was witnessed" aa axhlbkioa'of
perseverance and detenaunatioa :a
the part af a Poliah" rwamaa, that
would pat to shame auay of thai
sterner sex. It appears 'that the
womaa had moved to taia aide of the
river before the, goiag ant of 4he
bridge, aad had upoa the others side
some domestic animals, which needed
attention. Going to the bridge and
finding it still not ready for crossing,
she began, preparations for wading
the river. The men at work at the
bridge divining her intentions, at
tempted to dissuade her from the un
dertaking, but she would not listen,
and throwing off her outer garments,
plunged into the surging river and
successfully battled the current until
the opposite shore was reached, not
withstanding the fact that the water
at the deepest point came up to her
neck. It is little short of a miracle
that she was not swept from her feet
and drowned. Almost as astonish
ing is the fact that any female human
being could endure such a bath in a
temperature almost at freezing point.
Leap Year aaa Mother Ila.
ard.
The second leap year ball of the
season was given at Mssnnerchor Hall
last Wednesday evening. We believe
it was the original intention of the
committee having the matter in
charge to make it strictly a Mother
Hubbard affair, that is to request that
the ladies attend costumed in the
flowing, free and easy garment a
sort of cross between a night gown
and a morning wrapper which is
finding some favor with fashion's vo
taries, and styled a Mother Hubbard
dress; but for some reason the ma
jority of the ladies do uot seem to
have taken kindly to the notion, and
in respect to making the ball an ex
clusive Mother Hubbard affair, it was
not a complete success. However,
it was a success in point of being a
decidedly pleasant social occasion in
which all seemed to enjoy themselves
to the fullest extent, and the ladies in
Mother Hubbards looked almost as
charming as usual. Once more we
are constraiued to say that in affairs
of this kind the ladies take the cake.
The following were in attendance :
Miss Anna Rasmussen, A. Anderson ;
Miss Lillian Smith, J. C. Martin ; Miss

The Jourxal is glad to notice and
encoursge that business enterprise
which tends to build up and advance
the general interests of the city and
county wbile directing itself to the
spec! lie object of a fair return for the
capital invested. Home manufactures
of every kind, and especially those
that work up into merchantable arti
cles the products of the country are a
benefit both to the city and county in
a general way, and every good citi
zen should feel it his duty to lend
such enterprises all proper and reas
onable encouragement, that they may
be placed on a footing of stability and
enabled to help themselves at the
same time that they are contributing
to the public welfare and future pros
perity of the city and county. Co
lumbus already has a fair showing iu
this class of business, probably better
than many towns in the Btate which
outrank her in the matter of popula
tion and in other local business inter
ests, and to the end that in the future
still more and larger enterprises may
be induced to locate here, it behooves
every business man of the city to lend
encouragement and help to all snch
undertakings. Capital seeking in
vestment will guage the amount of
encouragement it will be liable to re
ceive by the enterprise and public
spirit exhibited in the management of
the local business interests of a city
whether or not all things tend to the
general development and prosperity
of the city, or whether a short-sighted
policy of agitating local differences
with strictly selfish motives, liable to
impede the general growth and pros
perity, is the moving spirit of the
place.
Of permanent establishments of
the character mentioned we can
point to our two pork packing estab
lishments, a creamery, a foundry, a
furniture manufactory, two establish
ments for the packing and shipping
of butter and eggs, and among the
recent departures of this kind is L.
Kramer's establishment for the man
ufacture of men's clothing, the fact
that the concern now employs thirteen
hands entitleing it to the credit of
being classed with the business that is
giviug impetus to our local prosperity
at least. Then, lastly, a broom fac
tory has just been started which we
are assured will be managed with a
view to making it meet extensively
the demands of Buch an institution.
If so managed it should be a source
of wealth to its projectors and a good
thing for Columbus and Platte county.
