Some forty of Norfolk's citizens
camo down to celebrate with us,
mainly to witness the game of ball
between the Hastings Reds and the
Columbus nine. The game was well
worth witnessing, being a meeting of
the two best amateur clubs of tho
stato.
A delegation of citizens of Co
lumbus waited upon the county
supervisors Monday to ask them to
take action in regard to the Platte
river bridge, which is oat of order.
The supervisors were of the opinion
that the matter belonged to tho town
ship authorities.
The game of ball which was con
fidently expected to come off on
Monday las't between the home nine
and the Chicago Reserves was de
clared off, the management not ap
proving of the proposition of the
Reserves to guarantee them $75 as an
inducement to meet our boys.
Tho heavy rain storms of last
week wero preceded by very omin
ous looking clouds that suggested a
cyclone to the more timid observers ;
but they passed over with a drench
ing rain and a pretty stiff blow that
did no harm further than to demolish
shade trees in some parts of the city.

The street crossings of the city
generally will not admit of much
commendatory comment, but some
of them are particularly bad and iu
order to be safe need attention. Dr.
Schng tells us that his horse stepped
through a crossing on one of the prin

narrowly escaped serious injury.

The Hastings base ball club was
accompanied to this city by a number
of excursionists on the Fourth. It
was expected that a special excursion
train would come from Hastings on
that day in which event a large crowd
would have come to witness the game,
but it was impossible to make ar
rangements with the TJ. P. company
for cars and the club were obliged to
come and go by the regular trains.
J. B. Wells recently rotnrned
from a trip in which he explored
quite extensively the northwest fron
tier of this state. He speaks well of
the country west of) Valentine in the
White River Valley, particularly the
region of Rush Creek where the
Rickly boys and party are located.
Jack has secured real estate interest
in Brown county, near Ainswortb, at
which place we believe he has also
engaged in the lumber business, asso
ciated with F. E. Gillett, late of Co
lumbus. One day last week a large safe
was being moved into Echols &
Turner's shop to be re-painted. The
safe was in the door-way on skids
and resting on its side when Otto
Huer, a young man in tho employ of
Becher & Co., came along and com
menced working tho combination to
see if he could open it, sitting the
while in such a position that when
he chanced to. hit the combination
right the door (the hinges being on
the bottom side) swung out and
down upon his leg, mashing the ankle
badly. No bones were broken.
George Lehman, proprietor of
the Grand Pacific, is furnishing the
new apartments of his hotel with
some of the finest furniture in the
market. Ten new chamber suits
with wool mattresses and steel bed
springs were pot in last week aud as
many more will be needed in a very
few days. After inspecting- the dif
ferent stocks of furniture in Colum
bus, Mr. Lehman went to Omaha and
learning the outrageous prices there
immediately returned and bought his
entire bill of J. E. Munger; being
folly convinced that he could get
more goods'of Manger for $800 than
of any other dealer lm the state.
Last Thursday a little Polish boy,
between 8 and 9 years old, whose
parents live on the bottom, while in
swimming in the Loupe got into the
power of the strong current and was
drowned. He was accompanied by
a little boy about his own age, who
of course, was unable to rescue his
drowning companion. Such an
undertaking would tax the power of
a strong man and an expert swimmer.
The body of the drowned boy was
recovered. The fact that many boys
of the city arc in the habit of going
in bathing in the Loupe has caused
the Journal to call attention to the
danger in it to the little fellows un
attended by older persons ; and even
should they be so attended, an at
tempt to rescue a drowning boy may
only result in a doable tragedy, as
was recently tho case in a neighbor
ing town on the Loupe when a father
attempted to rescue a little son and
both were drowned. At most times
the Loupe is a turbid, treacherous
stream that is neither fit nor safe for
man or boy to swim in. Besides,
there is plenty of clean, living water
in the vicinity of the city. To the
boys, especially, wo say, keep away
from tho river.
A little scrimmage occurred on
11th street Saturday that was a good
deal nearer a breach of the peace
than was consistent with good order.
It does seem that on such occasions
policemen are uncommonly scarce,
although the force would seem to be
amply sufficient for a city of this size.
The presence of a wielder of the
locust would havo a salutary effect
evenifthero is no "pulling" to be
done, the necessity for which the
judgment of the officer in conformity
with his duty may decido. Of coarse
a policeman is not omnipresent, and
this little reminder would not be
mado were it not for tho fact that on
more than one occasion the very last
persons to seem to discover that
anything conflicting with good order
was transpiring were those whom
wo naturally expect to be promptly
on band in such emergencies.
An accident occurred during the
parade on the Fourth that for the
moment threatened disastrous re
sults. The seat npon which Capt.
Hammond the driver of the four
horses attached to the Hook and
Ladder truck was sitting, (a box
temporarily placed on top) upset,
pitching the captain on his head in
the road. In an instant the spirited
horses were freo and doing their
level best to inaugurate a panic in
the parade, but were caught before
doing any further damage than
breakiug the tongue to the truck.
Mr. Hammond was considerably
stunned and bruised, but uot ser
iously hurt, and was on haud to fill
the portion of tho program allotted
to him reading the declaration and
addressing the multitude.
As the result of an experiment
recently made by Mr. J. N. Taylor in
hatching with an incubator he now
has about eight)' fine, thrifty young
chickens from one hundred eggs. Mr.
T., who takes considerable interest
in fine poultry, says that his hatching
experiment has proven equally as
successful as he has ever been from
tho old process of "setting" the hens.
Among large poultry breeders the
incubator is fast superceding the
setting hen, and tho next thing in
order will bo the propagation of a
breed of chickens without tho setting
instinct, that will turn their whole
attention to laying eggs, leaving
science to manufacture tho chickens.
Troy Halo was successful here
tho other day in a little scheme to
down some of the Columbus Bports
who backed Nickell's flyer against an
ostensible emigrant nag passing
through tied behind a covered wagon,
and did not discover tho said nag was
Troy's property until after their
money had passed into his pockets
through the hands of his cappers. It
would seem that Halo's ability to
work a "stick" racket on the "boys"
and match a trained racer against a
pretty fast team horse is superior to
his judgment of fast horse flesh. It
is a common Baying iu race track
circles that it is safe to always bet
"ferninst" Troy's judgment.
The North Plutte Telegraph has
nothing particular to say for the skill
of the ball club there, but does seem
to feel a little proud of the diplomacy
of the club's weak-kneed backers.
It says :
"Greedy North Platte! to suck a
base ball club dry the first day and
then, the column-bussers having sent
for funds over night, refuse to bet on
the game next day !"
Their, discretion is commendable.
Luckjfould. hardly be expected to
prevail-against science twice con
secutively. In this section of the future great
est state of the Union the prospect for
an excellent crop of all kinds of small
grain was probably never better, and
corn is said to be making such rapid
growth that tho joints haven't time
to form. Can't vouch for the truth
fulness of that assertion bat do know
that the growth is something won
derful. The rye harvest will com
mence this week. Of this cereal a
considerable acreage is to cut.
Mike Moskel, a Polish laborer,
who has a wife living on the bottom
in this city, and who has recently
been working at Seward, was drown
ed at that place Saturday last while
bathing in the Blue liver. The body
was recovered aud buried at this
place Monday last.
The Journal is pleased to notice
that Geo. Smith, who was injured by
a stroke of the ball from the hands of
the pitcher in the recent game be
tween the Columbus and U. P. nines
at Omaha, is again able to be around.

THE FOURTH IH THE CITY.
Hew Iadeaeadeace Day was Oaaarr
ed ay Our Citizeas.
At an early hoar the booming of
cannon announced to the drowsy den
izens that tho Nation's Birthday was
about to dawn, and later its advent
was rendered exceedingly pleasant by
the inspiring strains of the band in
several of the old-time patriotic airs,
from the observatory of tho Court
House.
The early morning did not givo
promise of c favorable day, dark, low
ering clouds obscuring the sun and
the elements wearing a threatening
aspect until nearly noon, when the
clouds gave way to clear sky and
sunshine.
Considering that almost every ham
let in the county had its own celebra
tion, the multitude that congregated
at Columbus to help celebrate the
nation's greatest holiday was quite
complimentary to the efforts of the
fire department to offer an acceptable
program of attractions for the day.
The Mayor and city council, attorney
and clerk riding in a carriage in front
of the column of uniformed firemen,
headed by the band in their handsome
new suits was well calculated to give
a brilliant and yery attractive lead to
an interesting following of calithump
ians and other ludicrous indispensi
bles to the tale of a Fourth of July
parade, that it was intended should
be a marked feature, and it is but jus
tice to the committeo to say that they
were themselves disappointed, not
being able to get the assistance and
encouragement necessary to make
that part of tho program as complete
as was intended; however, what
there was of it was good. Friedhoff
& Co, Filzpatrick and Mrs. Drake
were represented very acceptably.
After the parade, tho throng gath
ered at the bowery in Frankfort
Square and listened to the reading of
the Declaration of Independence by
Capt. John Hammond, who also ad
dressed the multitude very appropri
ately, followed by an address by the
mayor of the city, J. M. Macfarland,
and an adjournment for dinner.
Of the. program after dinner we
have not space to speak in detail and
note its interesting features with re
sults of contests, etc., but want to say
that however attractive it might have
been with a proper place to present
it, that place is not a thoroughfare of
the city ; and further, we think all
who are interested in having the very
best timo and a celebration enjoyable
to the utmost would do well to re
member that to fiud a suitable place
for such celebration we must go out
of the precincts of the city.
The game of ball in the afternoon
was an interesting feature of the day
and the fire works in the evening
were really fine. On the whole the
day was a success throughout and uo
doubt all felt satisfied with its ob
servance. The ball iu the evening was largely
attended, there being hardly dancing
spaco sufficient to accommodate all
who wanted to participate and mingle
with the gallaixt firemen.
HASTINGS VS. COLUMBUS.
The Ball Game on the Fourth-Columbus
''Gets There."
The ball game between the Hast
ings "Reds" aud the Columbus nine
at Athletic Park grounds was an in
teresting and to many the most
pleasant feature of the doings of In
dependence Day in the city, aud was
witnessed by the largest crowd ever
gathered in the Park. The "Reds"
are a good team and this pencil opines
that whenever our boys meet them
they will need to be on their metal
aud in first-class shape for the game.
Up to tho fourth inning the game was
a beauty, resulting in goose eggs on
both sides of the score sheet. Hast
ings was the first to go to pieces on
errors, but was followed very closely
by a bad break on the part of Colum
bus, neither club entirely recovering
themselves, though the scoro will
show the game on the whole to have
been a good one and close enough to
make it intensely interesting.

INFORMATION -TO THE ALLIANCES OF
PLATTE COUNTV.
I am informed that there was some
discord at the last County Alliance
held at Platte Center, July 5th, con
cerning the report of the investiga
ting committee which was chosen at
tho County Alliance held at Hum
phrey, Feb. 2d, 1884, for the purpose
of investigating the action taken by
the Platte County Alliance Central
Committee in the last fall campaign ;
and as I could not be at the last
County Alliance held at Platte Cen
ter, July 5th, I wish for information
of the Alliances in said county to
make a correction in the secretary's
minutes concerning the report of the
investigating committee ; as I drafted
that report I know how it was
worded:
"Investigating committee's report
Feb. 2d, 1884: We, the authorized
investigating committee, do hereby
exonerate the Platte County Alliance
Ceutral Committee from all blame
whatsoever in the action taken by
them in the.last campaign.

glowing torms by nearly every lady
present. The sports in the afternoon,
led by the Calithumpian parade, was
highly cheered, and the program was
carried out to tho letter. The racing
was enjoyed by many aud a goodly
number of the boys made their ex
penses in winning prizes, and it was
notable for there being no row or
fight on that day ; we flatter ourselves

The evergreen millet, a new drouth
proof grass, is claimed to be equal if
not superior to alfalfa. Unlike the
ordinary millets, it is perennial. It
is propagated either by seeds or
roots, like the Bermuda grass, and
once put in will soon spread and
occupy the whole ground. Drouth
affects it very slightly if at all, in
consequence of some of its roots
penetrating deeply. It is not
generally known, but it is stated that
its strongest recommendations come
from California. It is claimed that
It may be cut from three to six times
a year, and makes from four to
eight tons to the acre of excellent hay
at each cutting. If the statements
are true regarding this grass it is
undoubtedly the very article that
Nebraska farmers should procure and
cultivate, as the timo will soon come
when it will be necessary to secure
the tame grasses for this state.
