Far from being an argument that

leading toward them are utterly vile,
loathsome, full of evil, and devoid of
any spark of good, or any redeeming
feature.
A SHOCKING
A Youag Womaa Cemea to ker Beatb
Under Skamefully Distressing
Circumstances.
The absorbing subject of interest
last week was the death of Miss Nel
lie Quackenbush, a young lady whose
home is in this connty, and whose age
at the time of her death was 22 years.
Rumor had circulated a score of diff
erent versions of every incident lead
ing to her tragic death, but we give,
in the following summary, a condens
ed view of the facts as brought out
from witnesses before the inquest
which waB begun on Friday before
coroner Heintz and jurors A. J. Ar
nold, J. H. Galley, W. 6. Dale, Geo.
Wandel, Chas. Schroeder and William
Schroeder, who ended their investi
gations Monday, the State being rep
resented in the first of the hearing by
Messrs. Bowman & Walker, and in
the l&6t by District Attorney Wm.
Marshall.
On Sundaj', the 14th of September,
about 5 :30 p. m., the deceased left her
home in company with Geo. Matthews
and Frank Smith, ostensibly for the
purpose of going to her sister's home
in Columbus, and to attend the fair
which was to bo held during the
week, such being the representations
of the young men as to their object in
wishing the young lady to accompany
them to the city. To this arrange
ment the mother of tho girl gavo her
consent with tho understanding that
her daughter was to bo taken to tho
homo of her Bister, Mrs. W. S. Wells
of this city.
On Tuesday evening following bc
twoen 9 and 10 o'clock the girl ap
peared at the house of her sister,
and on being questioned by her
stated that she came to Columbus on
Sunday, and in answer to tho ques
tion as to who brought her from
home, sa'd it was Mr. Smith, and bb
to why she did not come to her
sister's house before, stated that she
couldn't. As to whore -the girl was
during tho time between Sunday and
Tuesday oyenings, witness Wilson
Rico testifies that on Monday night
she was in Matthows's room over
Friedhoff's store, where she pre
sumably was during all of tho time.
The same witness testified that about
Tuesday noon ho heard Geo. and
Frank flking about gettiug some
thing to eat, and Frank said she
didn't want anything, and Georgo
said she must havo something. Ono
othor fact may bear on this portion
of the case. Thos. Wake, clerk at
Dowty & Chinn's, testified that ho
sold Frank Smith a one ounce bottle
of laudanum, Sunday evouing, at
7 :30 p. m.
Her condition on the night she pre
sented herself at the house of her sis
ter, is testified to by both Mr. aud
Mrs. Wells as being that of a person
who seemed under the influence of
liquor or some other stimulant. After
retiring she became delirious and fre
quently moaned and muttered, dying
about seven o'clock the following
morning.
The fathor and sister both testify
that the young woman bad a weak
mind, thought to be the result of an
injury received when about 8 or 10
years of age, typhoid pneumonia fol
lowing, since which she bad evinced
her weakness of mind in her conver
sation and actions.
The post-mortem examination, very
ably made by Doctors C. D. Evans
and E. Hoehcn, in the presence of
Drs. F. J. Scbug and C. B. Stillman,
showed, as of special bearing, "a con
tusion on tho upper third part of the
skull, caused by a blunt or flat sub
stance," and recent, very excessive
vencry, the parts being much bruised
and discolored.
The verdict was given, scaled, to
the coroner who does not disclose to
the public what it is, the plain infer
ence being that it is unfavorable to
men supposed to be implicated.
The North Nebraska M. E. con
ference, at its recent session at Blair,
decided to take the necessary steps to
locate, organize and establish a con
ference seminary within the bounds
of this annual conference. We don't
know of any better town than Colum
bus within the central bounds of the
conference in which to locate and
build up a seminary of learning. It
n ay be well for our citizens to take
some action in the premises, and find
out what amount of funds can be
raised here to aid in its location and
erection. Wo only guess that it will
require from $20,000 to $25,000 to se
cure its location.
S. S. Matlock took tho first pre
mium on watermelons at the county
fair. Mr. Matlock left that splendid
melon at the Journal office, and be
fore a proper understanding could be
had tho melon fell into the hands of
printers, and the last wc saw of its
large remains was only rind and seeds.
We are ready to compromise the
question of damages with Mr. Mat
lock. It is the only way out of the
trouble that we know of. It may not
be out of place, however, to say that
the judgment of the awarding com
mittee was re-affirmed.
We were told Saturday that it
was currently reported that the
newspapers of Columbus had been
bought up to say nothing of the
tragic death last week. The Jour
nal goes to press regularly every
week on Tuesday evenings, and was
not advised of matters until after
going t i press last week. So far as
the Democrat is concerned, issued
Saturday mornings, it published the
fact of the death, and will doubtless
follow with the other facts, as they
are ascertained.
Cnnty Fair.
Articles placed on exhibition at
our fair were very good, but the
samples of crops and vegetables were
beyond question excellent The
number of stock as well as other ex
hibits was not so great as at former
fairs, but the fair this year would
have been a success in all directions
had it not been for the rains and
disagreeable weather.

They not only aro engaged in an
extensive business, but arc laying a
good foundation for a successful
career in the field as it widens before
them. They have a good assortment
of stoves, heaters, cooking utensils,
tools aud agricultural implements,
cutlery &c. ; all arranged in an at

seconded by quickened footsteps.
JEWELRY AND SILVER WARE DISPLAYS.
The safety of an entire passenger
train is often imperiled by the un
faithfulness of a watch repairer. Such
is tho importance of strict care being
exercised in the matter oi watch and
clock adjustment. We believe how
ever that Columbus has no jeweler
that would stoop to deceit iu this
matter ; but that their work is above
suspicion of trickery.
G. IIEITKEMl'ER .1 URO.

MR. A. .1. ARNOLD
Is an old-i;me settler in this region,
having spent about 28 year? here. Of

been said, because of their superior
workmanship. This gentleman has a
large circle of friends who look to
him as their "watch doctor," and from
him they obtain the latest and most
elegant designs in jewelry. His prop
erty interests are large, and his pub
lic enterprise cannot be called in
question. His boys are trained in
business ways, and with tho inheri
tance of their father's good uame, they
will be prepared to battle for homes,
comfort and compet ncy. A pioneer

privations of frontier life, and stauds
ready to hand out the beat of goods in
his line at lowest living prices. He
deals in hunting and fishing outfits,
and can give big inducements to par
ties about to engage in either venture.
MESSRS. ERNST, SCHWARZ A CO.
Come to the front with a good display
of stoves, ranges, aud their own make
cooking utensils. They are energetic
and an increasing trade is evidence of '
confidence and will lead to perman
ency. They own city property and
are doing a considerable towards
building up the city. Their imple
ment sales have been large, and hav
ing been engaged several years in
this class of business, their fair deal
iughas returned them good customers
mr me present and future years.
Wagons and buggies, plows and har
rows, wire and builders hardware,
have been their leading specialties.
Tin and copper ware are largely in
demand, and this establishment have
their share of the public patronage,
and we bespeak for them a continu

MESSRS. DOUGHERTY BROS.,
the young men who recently engaged
in blacksmithing and wagon making
on 13th street, in this city, bad at the
fair a specimen of their workmanship.
The senior member of the firm has
had fourteen years experience, the
junior seven, and their skill in the
line of horseshoeing, wagon and bug
gy repairing, general blacksmithing
and whatever pertains to ordinary
iron work and machino repairs, is
such that their patronage is large and
increasing. The specimen at the fair
was a butcher's wagon, built for How

um, it is constructed to sustain
a ton. Honorable competition is
the life of trade and mechanical suc
cess ; and in this firm wo see that in
dustry and attention to business have
made them popular with those who
have patronized them. Remcmbor
them whon in need of anything in
their line, and haying found the char
acter of their work, you will have no
occasion to change.
FURNITURE AC.
New enterprises when earnestly
entered upon are tokens of a revived
activity, and tho city may well be
proud of the fact that good uphol
stered goods of Columbus manufac
ture will soon be the principal supply
on tho market. At tho present fair
MR. HENRY GASS
haB displayed several fine pieces of
furniture, such as arc desirable in
farmer's houses, and the plainer city
residences. Tho chorry chamber
Buite elicited many favorable remarks,
and tho easy chair was almost con
stantly occupied. Tho sofa of his own
make, was substantial, commending
itself to careful housewives as being
ornamental as well as useful. Mr.
Gass is also engaged in the man
ufacture of book-cases, safes, cots,
bureaus, tables, stands, coilius, cas
kets &c. His trade is extensive aud
increasing.
THE COLUMBUS CANNERY
have demonstrated that tho soil and
climate of this county will produce
tho finest quality of tomatoes, corn
&c, for canning, aud preservation.
Messrs. Armstrong & Davis havo
begun this enterprise, and with their
united skill have succeeded beyond
their expectations. Mr. Armstrong
is the originator of the Armstrong
Perfection Tomato, for which the fol
lowing points of superiority aro
maintained : 1st, solidity, 2d, sweet
ness, 3d, smoothness, 4th, perfectness
in form. Messrs. A. & D. have also
on exhibition some specimens of
Acmo and Hathaway Excelsior to
matoes. Their extra white sugar
corn has several points of merit: 1st,
its sweetness is not surpassed, 2d, its
whiteness is not equalled, 3d, the
clearness is excellent. The methods
employed assure the retention of the
best qualities of fruits and vegetables
iu their matured condition, in fresh
ness, flavor, and sweetness. Improved
appliauccs, together with ten years
past experience in the canning ot
eastern and western products, makes
it absolutely certain that in point of
ability uo establishment in the west
can lay greater claims. The country
tributary to this city by means of
railroad and other facilities, will
make large and increasing demands
on the cannery, and with the pros
pect of a market for immense quan
tities of tomatoes, corn, beans,
squashes, melons, sweet potatoes,
&c, the producers will no doubt
make next year's business many times
greater. The city will feel tho in
fluence of such an enterprise, as when
fully in operation, about 100 persons
will be regularly employed by the
firm. Letters of inquiry promptly
answered, and information freely
given. Address them at Columbus.

Each spring is of independent action ;
thus giving opportunity of using
springs of different strengths and
height, and making a comfortable sur
face. 2d. The spring connection
brings the springs in which the mat
rcss rests to their proper position.
3d. Thoy are the only spring in the

equal weights, giving comfort and
ease. The Star bed spring was award
