Heitkemper & Bro. have lowered the price on their entire stock of watches, so that every man with a little money can buy a good watch. Call and see them. They will wait on you with pleasure. 1 One evening last week, -at the residence of Hon. L.

The lawn was brilliantly illuminated with Chinese lanterns. Lightning struck a wire fence at Mr. Hull's, near town, one night last week, killing a mare belonging to Mr. Gray and paralyzing a steer and a hog. It has been suggested that wire iences be provided with miniature lightning rods in the shape of wire placed perpendicularly and running a little ways into the ground. George Lehman has further im proved his hotel by tho addition of a commodious kitchen, and this week will have the new addition lately completed to the main part complete ly furnished; and still George isn't happy because he hasn't room enough, and will immediately, begin the work of another story to tho main building.

No doubt the boys will come back covered with laurels. WE WIIJL CELEBRATE. Pxwyaratieas far a Rits; Cmlmkrmm tiam im Cdwhu. Arrangements have been completed in such a manner as to leave no doubt that the coming Fourth will be ap propriately celebrated in this city. The fire department have the matter in charge and have selected Frankfort Square as the site for a large and well-seated arbor where the multi tude may listen to the reading of the Declaration of Independence and the thrilling oratory of prominent speak ers. The various committees are work ing industriously on the different parts of the attractive program which they announce in a large poster. Mu sic for the day will be furnished by the Columbus Cornet Band who will head the grand parade in their hand some new uniforms. One of the amusing features of the day will be the "Calithumpians" and the business house representations in the parade, which we are assured is to be immense. This feature is un der the special supervision of old hands at the business. The Hastings base ball club promises to come to Columbus on the Fourth with an excursion of three coaches well filled with ad mirers of the National game. In the evening there will be a grand display of fireworks which the com mittee announces will be the largest ever witnessed in Central Nebraska ; the festive occasion to close with a ball at the Opera House, where all so disposed may trip the "light fantas tic" to their heart's content Everybody, from all over the coun try are invited to come and celebrate with us. Hampkrey. r Very quiet in town. Farmers are busy iu corn. G. W. Kibler talks of coming to town. Our first paper will be issued Fri day of this week. Everything is beiug done to make tho celebration a success on the 4th. We have no lesB than three horse jockeys camping aud trading near town. At the meeting of the A. O. U. W. it was decided to hold the next regu lar meeting Monday eve, after the Fourth of July. As announced, the presiding elder of the Methodist church held quar terly meeting here Saturday and Sun day, and we believe that our people will be profited by the eloquence and sound teaching of the presiding elder. C. Bae Ball at Central City. Plum Creek, June 23, 1884. Editor Journal, Dear Sir: The Columbus club played the first game of their trip at Central City on Mon day, Martin and Hurst were the bat tery. The Columbus club only placed eight men in the field and in the fourth inning Hurst, the catcher, was disabled, having his thumb split by a foul tip. The game was played out by Columbus with seven men, result ing 18 to 6 in favqr of Columbus. The features of the game were the heavy batting of the Columbus team and the playing of 1st base by Tom my Wake. Clias. Wake joined the boys at Plum Creek and will pitch the remainder of the games. The nine is greatly crippled by the loss of Hurst and Dougherty. Truly yours, J. C. Martin. Opsra lloase, One Nlflrkl Oaly, Friday, Jaae 27. Mr. Charles A. Gardner, the Ger man dialect comedian, with a very good company supporting him, ap peared at the Grand Opera House laBt evening in a comedy-drama, en titled "Karl." Mr. Gardner played the part of Karl Stein with a good deal of humor, aud his songs and dances were received with uproarious applause. He has a good dialect, is exceedingly funny when ho sets out to be as funny as be can, and com mands encores with surprising facili ty. He belongs to the Emmet school and is an excellent representative of it Evening Jlepublic, Buffalo, 2V. T. The B. & M. freight going south Monday afternoon met with an acci dent near the bridge which threw the engine and one car from the track. The accident delayed the regular pas senger in the evening, the busses and teams bringing up the passengers to the city. A temporary track was laid around the wreck and the pas senger train ran out as usual Tuesday morning. No one injured. The Cornet Band appeared ou the streets Friday evening in their new uniforms, drawing a throng of interested spectators around them to listen to the excellent music and ad mire the splondid appearance of the boys in their new clothes. We be lieve the general verdict is that the baud haB made a good selection and have just a little the "slickest" uni form of any band in the state. The Loop and Platte rivers 6bould be shunned by boys and even men who are not experienced swim mersas places to go bathing. The other day I. J. Slattery's son came near drowning while bathing with other youngsters in the Loup. He was saved by the presence of mind aud prompt action of Ted Novell, one of bis companions, who with his clothes still on, sprang to his rescue. - Chris. From, accompanied by bis wife, started to Butler county Mon day last in response to a telegram that his mother was dead. They took the B. & M. afternoon freight which was derailed near the bridge, and were obliged to walk across the bridge to Bellwood and go by team from that point. A party of about forty'partook of dinner at Jos. Gardner's Sunday week in honor of his daughter's marriage with Wm Ferguson. Platte Center Items. Republicans are happy aud demo crats are wondering why it is thusly. Platte Centre is booming and no mistake. Blaine and Logan above par. O yes ! Wm. F. Edwards will soon have his cosy residence done and then and then. Mr. Gus Williams in making prep arations for building a residence and livery and sale stable. Crops look fine and farmers are in good spirits and anticipate a pocket full of "rocks" this fall. David Mayloy looks like a major general when on his charger. Dave says that he will vote for John A. Logan. Well, well, the ice-cold lemonade days are here and you ought to see the boys taking the fair ones to the soda founts. Republicans are all getting new hats and democrats are looking around for some one to slaughter. I wonder if Sammy J. will consent to run? "Ted." says that the republicans should have nominated some man that had stability. "Ted." should have gone to the convention and put in bis little speech. I feel sorry for "Ted," but it is thusly it's Blaine all the same and he will "get there, Eli." Our fellow townsman, Mr. J. A. Kehoe, has boen on a visit to his friends in Canada, and I presume that John had something to say in getting Blaine nominated, because if Sammy J. had to be slaughtered he wanted it done by a respectable man and statesman like the "Plumed Knight," of Maine. We want more insurance agents. I'll bet the cigars that Platte Centre can produce more insurance agents of any town in the state, but there is room for one more. But we do want a bank a bauk that won't "bust." We also want three or four lawyers, same number of physicians of diver sified Bchools, and we want a good restaurant and any one who will come now will do a good business. Our Wm. Bloedoru is moviug along lively and from the way wind-mills and machines for harvesting are go ing out would indicate that those chaps who are traveling through the country selling machinery are not damaging him in the way of trade. Everybody knows Billy and know that he is a good mechanic and will make hiB work good. I would say to farmers who are interested in their own welfare and the prosperity of Platte Centre, If you wish your land to increase in value and want a good market at home, patronize borne first, for by your influence and trade you make the town. It is a fact the mer chant and tbe mechanic depend upon the farmer and when yon fail down goes all others ; and if we expect to be prosperous aud be happy in life we must build up our home trade. We have tbe best farming country in Platte county, or, iu fact, in the state and why should we be behind in all undertakings of public good? Logan the Chief. The promptuess with which tbe Seward papers chime in to the sup port of each other iu matters per taining to the general welfare of the commuuity is good to witness, and indicates that the management of these journals is in the bauds of men who appreciate what is due from them to their patrous. How much more sensible and proper this course than that of many editors who eter nally parade under the guise of journalism their spiteful jealousy and the worst features of their na ture, which leads them to oppose every movement of a contemporary, no matter what interests are at stake. An Editor' Tribute. Tberou P. Keator, editor of Ft. Wayne, Iud., Guzetle, writes: "For the past five years have always used Dr. King's New Discovery, for coughs of most severe character, as well aa for those of a milder type.

Editor Journal : From Beebe to this place is a distance of thirty-three miles ; we found the country some what similar to farther north but more sandy (but will be specific on this point in a future letter.) Little Rock, the state capitol, is built on the high hills on the west side of the Arkansas river, and claims a popula tion white and colored, of some thirty thousand. It Is a pretty city, and can truly claim the high honor of being called the city of roses; its man ufacturing industries are still in their infancy, while its central location, its facilities for conveying the man ufactured product to market sur rounded as it is, by its varied forest growth of superb timber, and the many minerals buried in the ground near her borders, will in the near future give the city a growth large and plenteous in a prosperous future: as tbe sturdy hand of toil and the magnetic power of capital, join bauds on the high and healthy hills on which this city of roses and beautiful flowers stands. But, dear Journal, enough of this city, of a probable magnificent future, with its gather ings of law-makers, fine and super fine, and with me (as in a dream) after gazing to satiety at the pure white blooms of a magnificent mag nolia ascend to the second floor of a large brick building, whose outside walls from foundation to turret are covered with a magnificent growth of the evergreen English Ivy, and enter a room in the land department of the St. Louis I. M. & S. T. T. where are collected the varied products of a state little known to many of your readers, and for some moments we can but gaze in admiration at a col lection so vast and grand, that for the time being we are almost lost in doubt aa we think of what we have so often read of a state whose main resources were, chills and fever, and a peculiar kiud of whisky, with all its peculiar results. Of grasses, we examined one hun dred and fifty varieties including the clovers and tame grasses, which do exceedingly well on all the elevated lands over which we have traveled ; skeins of fine silk, and tbe cocoon in its crude state, side by side : cotton as gathered and by tbe new process manufactured into yarn, thereby sav ing the waste and expense of the ginning-mill. Wool as grown in this and many other counties, with its home manufactured products of yarns and other goods, by factories located in several counties, and shorn from the native and also the pure Cotswold, Southdown and other breeds of world wide fame. In minerals, ores, stone, kaolin, &c, the collection showed how vast was the crude products buried in the bills and mountaius. The specimens of wheat, oats, rye, millet, corn, cane in stalk, ear, and grain were large in variety and line in quality ; and with ears in one variety almost eight inches in length. Stalks of corn and Sorghum sixteen feet in length, peas and pulse of varieties large in number, growth aud quality. Of woods we carefully examined seventy-five var ieties, including tbe different oaks, two varieties of pine, hickory, maple, walnut, beach, birch, gum, cherry, poplar, and a sectiou of grapevine over fifteen inches in diameter. Tbe national weed, from Cuba and Bur ley dowu to the more common var ieties; were also fine in quality, color, aud size of leaf. Nuts in large varieties, and berries from the wild, wild woods were side by side ; with the largest and most superb collec tion of fruits we have ever seen ; only think, dear Journal, of peaches weighing ten and one-half ounces, apples twenty-one ounces and meas uring over fifteen inches in circum ference, and pears of the Duchess variety fully as large in size aud weight. No wonder that tbe growth of fruits is becoming of such magnitude in this state, when we see such a col lection of apples, pears, plums, peaches, grapes, strawberries, &c, that would command the attention and respect of any horticulturist, no matter how high may be his attain ments, or large his experience. We are interrupted so much, look ing around and inspecting nearly all the time, but will as often as possible forward to the Journal what we see and learn. John Boans. Lout Creek Items. "Hurrah for Ben Butler!" at least so Sam says. Our folks are all going to Platte Center the Fourth, don't forget to come or you'll miss it Coru is looking exceedingly well and farmers feel certain of a crop this seasou, but small grain will not be a full crop unless we have rain soon. It is reported that tbe three best fields of corn in Lost Creek are owned by J. It Smith, Geo . Scbeidel, and Fred. Jewell, each of them having from 40 to 50 acres which now averages ovor two feet high. Crops looking well. Mrs. F. H. Gerrard has gone to Fairmont, on a visit to her parents. Mr. Murdock has just completed a barn that looks as though it might stand both wind and weather. We all miss tbe genial smile of Jas. Weatherbee, who has gone to Ken tucky, and hope that he has not forsaken us for good. Farmers that have shelled corn in bulk should see that it is well aired. Mr. Webster lost considerable by beating in the granary, under a good roof. W. JIrl Wanted. One who can give satisfactory ref erences can find steady employment, by inquiring at the Journal office.

Mr. Geo. V. Willing, of Manches ter, Mich., writes : "My wife has been almost helpless for five years, so help less that she could not turn over in bed alone. She used two Bottles of Electric Bitters, aud is so much im proved, that she is ablo now to do her own work." Electric Bitters will do all that is claimed for them.

I feel confident th3t I have the best and cheapest machine at present in the market. On Thurs day last the first binder delivered at this city this season was sold to C. A. Morse, at whose farm a test will be made in a field of rye as aon as the same will do to cat, to which I re spectfully invite all interested, and hereby extend a special invitation to my implement dealer friends to be on hand with their binders for a trial of merit. If there is a machine that will beat mine the Piano I shall .be pleased to know it, but will wager $100 that it will cut more acres and miss lesa bundles than any machine in the market here. , Tbe Piano machine is the old, time-tried Marsh Haryester, with tbe Applepee Binder. il-m.
