Columbus is improving somewhat in morals, notwithstanding the pres ence yet of some professionally lewd women.

(No reference to Columbus last year.) James Cushing's dray team ran away one day last week and in tear ing along the railroad track the wagon became attached to a car in such a manner as to present the novel sight of a railroad car joining the rout of a runaway. Mr. John McCormick, of Omaha, was stricken about 8 o'clock Saturday night, with apoplexy. At 1 o'clock Sunday morning, Mr. McCormick was still unconscious. Dr. Somers who was called to the patient thought he could not recover. The Sun learned on Monday that the railroad surveyors to the number of fourteen, with three teams, were camped at Leigh. They are making a surrey for the Sioux City & Pacific, and are running a route from Scribner to Humphrey striking through the northwest part of Colfax I county. Sun. One of the parties interested tells us that a new bridge northwest of town is a model to go by, and cer tainly thin country is in need of models in that direction, because, once in a while, it is demonstrated clearly enough that we need to have good bridges. A. & M. Turner, news-dealers, take this method of acknowledging the receipt of a copy of Peck's Bos9 Book, the latest out, by Geo. W. Feck, tbenow world famous editor of Peck's Sfkn. The book is certainly a racy one, and will keep up the repu tation of the author. 1 M. Brugger has resigned hia po sition in the city schools to accept a position in the. Columbus State Bank. His resignation so near the end of the term is no donbt an inconvenience to the board, if not detrimental to the interests of the school, over which he has had charge, and in which he has given such good satisfaction. Henry Clayburn is being quite .successful with hiB hog business. Last year he had eleven' litters with a total of fifty-six pigs ; this year, seventeen litters and ninety-one pigs. Recently he sold fifteen of last year's pigs, now thirteen months old, averaging 286 lbs., at $4.30, and has twenty-five yet for sale that now average 275 lbs. Saturday last, while a herd of cattle belonging to emigrants was crossing on the Loup bridge, they were scared by a dog and "bunched" on one span breaking it down and letting the herd into the river. No lives lost. The bridge was im mediately repaired, and is fully capable of sustaining the ordinary pressure. Another large meeting was held at the Congregational church Mon day evening to listen to arguments on the temperance question. Capt. John Hammond, we are told, made an able, interesting speech ; Rev. Z. C. Rush gave the Bible readings bearing upon the subject, and Rev. Fleharty spoke upon the necossity of prohibition. The Journal, haying added a number of new fonts of type of the latest patterns, is better than ever equipped to furnish all sorts of com mercial printing such as envelopes, letter heads, note heads, bill heads, statements, business cards, labels, programmes.weddiug stationery, pos ters, dodgers, lawyer's briefs, sale bills, etc., etc. tf Tho Elba Sun, Howard Co., by A. B. Lewis, is the latest Nebraska newspaper vonture. The editor knows what he is doing when he says, "Help ub and you will help yourselves. Let not your support be of the milk-and-water, lukewarm sort, but let it be hearty, earnest, generous, such as you expect the Sun to givo Elba and Howard county." Wm. Bushell has the contract for the brick work of the new Catholic church at the Monastery, and expects to complete it in about four weeks. The main body of the building iB 48x45 feet, and so arranged that an addition can readily be made to the length of it. The vestibule is 31x26 feet, and joins the Monastery. When this building is completed, the frarao building hitherto used as a church will be sold. Jos-Webster of Monroe was in the city Friday and called at the Jouknal office. He reports a bright ontlook in that locality for a good corn crop, and 6ays that where seed was properly and seasonably selected from last year's crop, there is no trouble from re-planting. His own seed was selected while yet in the milk and before it had been touched by frost, and he has a splendid stand from the first planting. The fearful stench of Tuesday night, last week, came from tho Packing House. Denizens looked around in tho morning to see what could possibly cause such a perfect odor, in the immediate vicinity of their residences. Once in a long while it is necessary to render some offensive materia, and Columbus ought to be as patient as possible con sidering the great advantages of the Packing House to the city. We give the following paragraph for the benefit of our police force. Columbus is not in a mood to receive such accessions to her population as referred to : "One honse of ill-repute in the central portion of the North Side, has been closed and the pro prietress has gone to Columbus. These low dens are becoming a little too numerous in this town and a portion of them disorderly as well, and it is high time that a check is put upon them." Grand Island Inde pendent. At the meeting of the school board Monday evening, Jno. Wiggins was elected secretary pro tern.; the action of the board in employing Chas. Brindley, Esq., to take Mr. Brugger's place as teacher, was ap proved; an examining committee consisting of the committee on teachers and the Superintendent was agreed upon ; a special meeting of the board will take place on the 6th inst., to consider the petition of citizens to bond the district for $12,000 to build anew school-house. Men of little brains with a taste for strong drink may derive comfort from the result of recent experiments which a French temperance society has been making on the alcoholization of pigs, from which it was fonnd that alcohol had no particular injurious effect upon this animal. This fact, it was concluded, wa9 owing to the smallness of a pig's brain; and the difference of the effect of alcohol on persons is attributed to the difference in the size of the brain the larger the brain the more dangerous the effect of intoxication. Consequently, men of low intellectual endowments might indulge their love for the ardent with small danger from de- 1 lerium tremens. Tho following from the Cedar Rapids Era relates to former resi dents of Platte county, who have many friends in this city : "Last Sunday as Will Gibson and his mother were driving one of Dave Calender's teams home from a ride, the team got the start of him coming down the hill south of J. D. Stire's house, and crossing a ditch or rut, the hind end of the carriage tnrned over the front wheels, throwing both out over the dashboard ; Mrs. Gibson was bruised up a good deal, but no serious harm came to either. The team be ing loosed from the buggy, ran over to J. S. Robinson's place where one was thrown and they were caught. The buggy was badly demoralized, but the team was not much hurt, and Will thinks his next ride will be on a stone-boat with oxen." The Blair Republican calls at tention to the fact that fathers of families frequent low dives in that place, thus bringing disgrace upon their families. If the Republican will strenuously advocate the en forcement of the laws, it will not only become unpopular and dis graceful for married men but also single men to frequent low dives; there is an exceedingly strong sense of decency in Nebraska communities when you come to apply the test, and there is absolutely no reason under heaven why Nebraska need have so many dens of infamy. Execute the laws. A few days since, after the Platte river bridge had become impassable a couple of Seward county emigrants to Holt county, on discovering that they could not cross, went to Bell wood and hired transportation for themselves and team to Columbus of the railroad company. One of the men told the writer that he did not object to paying the price of trans portation, but thought he had a right to complain because of being left several rods from an available place to land his property and having to spend two or three hours of hard labor in "heeling" the car to position with a crowbar. Lost Creek Item. L. II. Jewell starts for Texas this week where he meets his father who is engaged selling machinery in that state. Our little village presents a nice appearance. The Union hotel was treated with a fresh coat of paint and also the residence of F. H. Gerrard. A Bon of Mr. Luth's, who lives near this place, was bit by a rattlesnake Saturday. By applying soda the swelling was kept down until whisky was procured which I suppose is the only suro remedy. W. The central committee of Platte connty alliance met at Humphrey, May 24th 1884. Called to order by N. Olson. N. Olson was elected chairman, F. M. Redenbaugh secre tary. Speeches were made by Olson, Kibler, Redenbaugh and others to forward the interest of the alliance. All of the central committee that was absent was excused, and Olson was authorized to appoint others in their place. Adjourned to meet at Platte Center, July 5tb, '84, at two o'clock p. m. F. M. Redenbaugh, sec'y. We regret to state that we hear of much rc-plaiiting of corn, owing to pooF seed and this too in most instances where it. was thought the proper precautions had been taken to procure good seed. It seems most farmers relied on '82 corn for seed, which, as it turns out, has not come good this wet cold season, except under the most favorable conditions. This is a drawback very much to be lamented, now that fine growing weather is hero in dead earnest. Schuyler Sun. One Chaace 1b a Lifetime.

Bauer left the city Thursday last for Columbus, Ohio, to participate in the seventy-fifth birth day anniversary of Grandma Becker, mother of J. P. and William, and spend several weeks in visiting at their old home. Owing to rheuma tism, from which William Becker has been suffering, he was obliged to forego the pleasure of joining the party, as he had anticipated. L. H. Jewell started to Texas Monday morning. Lute's father, Elias Jewell, for some time a resident of this county, is engaged in the farm implement business down there and wants his son's assistance during the busy season of harvest which is just' coming on.

C. A. Newmak, 2-tf Connty Treasurer. The corner stono of the Lutheran church on Elk creek wa9 to have been laid Monday last; we have not heard any particulars, but suppose the cere mony took place in tho presence of a large number of people, as the event had been looked forward to for some time with considerable interest. ladies, Atteatlea!

Character la Edaeatlea. The prosperity of a country de pends, not on the abundance of its revenues, nor on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the beauty of its public buildings ; but it consists in the number of its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlighten ment, and character; here are to be found its true interests, its chief strength, its real power. Martin Lu-' ther. We shall never learn to respect our real calling and destity, unless we have taught ourselves to consider everything as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart. Walter Scott.- A beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful face, and a beautiful soul is better than a beautiful form; it gives higher pleasure than statues or pictures, it is the finest of the fine arts. .Emerson. For a settler in a new country, one good, believing man is worth a hun dred, nay worth a thousand men without character. John Brown. "Life is never problematical to & youth whose education culminates in the noblest virtues. He wins in the race. The trumpet-call of duty rallies him for every emergency; and her call is superior to intellect, greater than genius, loftier than fame, higher than art, and more inspiring than pleasure, because it commands them all. Duty! There is no grander watchword for human life; it is charged with conscience; it is ani mated with courage. The dutiful, conscientious man is brave; unprin cipled men and women are cowards. They are the last persons to stand in the breach for the right." Lowell sings, They are slaves who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse. Rather tban in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think. They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three. Tkachkb. Weather Keport.

Frost with ice on the 1st Lunar halo on the 4th. Very foggy on the 31st. The month has been noted for the heavy fall of rain on the 5th, and the consequent flooding of the eastern part of Platte county, thereby imped ing railroad travel for several dayB. The severity of the storm was local in its effects, and appeared to proceed from what might be denominated as a cloud burst, as two distinct storm clouds were seen in the distance ap proaching each other and finally mingled into one, and as they were both doubtless filled to saturation pre viously, the effect which followed was but the necessary result of com pressing two such bodies into the same space.

Day for Triaate te tka Natiaa'a Dead Appropriately Oaaerved. The Memorial Day services in honor of the dead soldiers and sailors in Columbus cemetery under the auspices of Baker Post No. 9, G.A.R., were largely attended by citizens from the city and vicinity. Accord ing to program, at half-past one the soldiers congregated at Knights of Pythias Hall and headed by the Co lumbus Cornet Band, firemen and the children of the west end school, marched to the Opera House and filed in, followed by the children of the east end and high schools, who joined them here, the members of the Post and visiting members from Humphrey Post occupying the stage, the school children taking up the front seats. Every nich of the re maining space in parquet and gallery even to the steps was soon filled by interested spectators. The stage was beautifully decorated with flags and lovely floral tributes to the dead, the central attraction being the usual cenotaph to tho. mem ory of the unknown dead. The program of exercises was both interesting and impressive, the chil dren of the different schools, in songs and declamations, adding very mate rially to the interest of the occasion. W. A. McAllister and Rev. Rice ad dressed .the audience in short and appropriate speeches, John Hammond closing with a few happy remarks to the children. After the services the march was taken up to the cemetery and the beautiful and touching service of floral tribute and honor to the dead performed. SLeat Creelr.
