John Wise reports 6ome bright fires in the distance north of his place Saturday night. It is well now to secure against prairie fires. Dusty denizens were longing Saturday and Sunday for the street sprinkler, bat Monday morning the dust was all laid in good form. At Dennis Reagan's sale last week two-year-old steers brought $40, cows about $33, and hogs, weighing about two hundred pounds $11 a head. Mrs. Stamp makes a special busi ness of going east every season to select her millinery and notions, and to give her customers the benefit In low prices. The Rink will be open to ladies only, in the forenoons, for a week or two. To those wishing to learn, this is a good opportunity which will be appreciated by all. The next union temperance meet ing will be held at the M. E. Church on the second Sunday of November, at 7:30 p.m., by agreement of the pastors in charge of the movement. We want to sell a heating stove to every man, woman and child that is in need of one. and we make the price low enough to do it. And don't you forget it. Krause, Lubker & Co. Dr. L. J. Abbott and Mr. Marr of Fremont and W. A. McAllister of this city made republican speeches at Creston Saturday evening, aud re port says that the occasion was a very interesting one. G. W. Galley showed us a speci men of apples Saturday grown at his place east of the city, which were very luce, indeed. This year has demon strated that apples can be grown any where in this locality of Nebraska. Geo. Hulst, with Dr. Wilkinson aud Geo. Hoagland of Omaha, and C. Mathewson and L.

Smith and Young's new building as soon as the same is completed. The building now occu pied by them will then be occupied by the Columbus Broom Factory. It would be extreme cruelty to refer to the broad smiles of satisfac tion which illuminated the counte nances of democrats here for the few hours last week during which thdy were led to believe that Ohio had gone only 4,000, even so low as 1,000 for the republicans. Farmers who come to this mar ket should remember that Morrissey Bros. & Co. are in the grain business with facilities second to none. Lou. Weaver ib now connected with and has charge of the business. The office and scales are on the corner of 13th and N. streets. Report of M. E. S. S. for Sunday, Oct. 19, '84. Increase 3 ; number of members present not having bibles of their own, only 10; attendance of children at preaching improving. The Buds of Promise class will welcome the little folks ju9t beginning attend ance at Sunday school. One of our Lost Creek corres pondents writes us that I. Truelove is remodeling the old school into a nice little dwelling; that J. Kelly is doing the carpenter work on the church and new school house; that Mr. Mur dochs house is nearly completed, and will be one of the largest residences iu the county. Seo our proposition for the Jour nal aud the Weekly Chicago Trib une, until the issue after the pres idential election, for 75 cents. Present subscribers to our paper can obtain the Tribune free by paying a year in ad vance for the Journal. Wo hear4ily wish all our subscribers would avail themselves of this liberal offer, tf The Child's Hospital, founded by the late Bishop Clarkson, is now under the management of Mrs. Clark son. The church people here are in terested in the work of that institu tion. Rev. Canon Goodale will an swer inquiries as to its needs, and give methods of aiding the hospital in its labor of charity. The city should be informed of its objects. Rev. C. C. Wilson, pastor of the M. E. church at Cedar Rapids, Neb., is on a vacation tour to Pittsburg, Pa. He passed through this city Monday. The membership at C. R. has increas ed since conference from 3 to 31. Mr. W. reports increasing interest in the church work. The building in which they worship has a capacity of 200. A number of probationers are not included in the above. The Joubxal. has a grievance against G. "W. Barnhart because he is an old and esteemed friend of oars (though a young man) and is a very clever gentleman, but failed to report to these headquarters the advent of an heir. The Journal desires to give the news, and would mention this fact without the date, but for the desire to always be accurate. The birth occurred about four weeks ago. Rev. Father Ryan reports a good attendance on the part of the secular priests of the R. C. Church at the as sociation in .Omaha. Every 6uch priest in complying with the condi tions pays $10 yearly, and reaps the benefits assured him by the fund thus raised. There are about 100 entitled to membership in the see of Nebras ka. Old-age aud disability are thus provided for in the way of mainte nance by fraternal aid. Call at Condon & McKenzie's for wool hose, and examine them before buying elsewhere. There will be no preaching ser vice at the Congregational church next Sabbath. The pastor attending the State Association of the Cong'l churches of Nebraska, convening on Wednesday of this week at Norfolk. The S. S. will meet as usual at 11 :45 a. m. The following changes in time have been adopted at the Cong'l church : a. m. service at 10 :30 ; Sun day school service at 11:45; p. m. service at 7 :30. Elsewhere will be found an ad vertisement of the New York Ranche in Colfax county. It is a very val uable piece of property. It would repay our farmer readers generally to take a day attending the sale, to buy any of the stock or implements they need, or to see how neatly and conveniently everything has been ar ranged. It is just snch a place as every Nebraska farmer ought to have. Mr. Luch was in the city Satur day. We suppose that his sole reason for selling is the fact that he has be come disabled for doing hard work. As we go to press Tuesday after noons, we cannot give an account of the political meeting addressed by Gen. A. H. Connor and Hon. Geo. W. E. Dorsey, candidate for congress. Doubtless the' General reviews, in his own admirable way, the history of the two great parties, contrasting the honest purposes of the one with the treasonable record of the other; the grand achievements of the one, with the shuffling, halting promises of the other; while Mr. Dorsey, in a plain, business way, sets forth the princi ples and practices of the republican party as touching upon the material interests of the country and its future prosperity. We understand that the Democ racy are making arrangements for meetings and speeches in every school house in the county. No use, gentle men, you have lost your grip. The republican party, by its policy indi cated in the homestead, pre-emption and timber claim laws, its excellent administration, its solid money sys tem, and its determination to do right by all persons under the protection of the flag, are winning to its support every day from the more intelligent of the democratic party, and those who have folly made up their mind that they will favor the policy of pro tection of American interests, and the development of our own resources by fostering manufactures at our very doors where we can find a ready, home market for our products. II. II. Eyman of Genoa was in town Thursday. He told us that a man had been apprehended Borne where in Iowa, said to answer the description of Furnival, the supposed murderer of Nance county, but prov ed not to be him. He gives one of the current theories of the case as follows : That Furnival and his com panion quarrelled, and in the fight Furnival killed him ; a neighbor com ing toward the house, would naturally inquire concerning the matter, and he was shot also, probably witnessed by Mrs. Percival, whose death followed, her husband being also murdered at the first opportunity and before knowing anything of what had hap pened iu the neighborhood. While there is a disposition iu Nance county Lto lynch the murderer, whoever he may be, there is a desire, also, to find the motive for such wholesale mur der. If the above theory is not cor rect, it is difficult to conjecture what may be. A Journal reporter had an op portunity last week of witnessing at work the New Era Grader recently purchased by Lost Creek township. Tho machine is in the hands of L. II. Jewell and Geo. Maynard who fur nish the teams to run it and do the grading by the yard at a price which they estimate will pay them fairly for their time. Ten horses are employed which walk the machine along with comparative ease and with absolute certainty of meeting no obstacle of soil that will prevent its cutting a furrow and depositing it without waste just where it is wanted. At present the machine and its energetic operators are making their good work show on about three miles of road on the township line east and west adja cent to Mr. Jewell's farm. Your re porter predicts that Lost Creekers will have cause to feel perfectly satis fied with their investment ; and the beauty of the matter lies in the fact that it will afford good roads com paratively cheap, a public improve ment which the present generation cannot afford to do without, and for which their posterity will bless them. It suggests itself to ask whether it was a thousand dollars,more or less, that was raised here by the Democ racy of this Columbus aud 6ent off to the other Columbus to help carry the late election in Ohio. The national democratic committee in a circular sent out sometime since gave the party friends to understand that they would keep a sort of roll of honor of the names of those who should con tribute to the result, and in case of success, these would be substantially remembered. It is natural enough to suppose that in case of Cleveland's election, this ColumbuB ought to be entitled to a one thousand dollar office for some one of the generous hearted who helped contribute the aforesaid thousand, less or more. By the way, may we be allowed to in quire in what particular portion of the Buckeye state the thousand dol lars was distributed? From all ap pearances it don't seem to have had much effect in lessening republican votes. It might not be considered altogether out of place for us to (sug gest the propriety of raising an addi tional thousand or two for the No vember election in Ohio. Our demo cratic friends, in the light of their recent experience, might not think it a good investment, but they should never weary in well doing, that is to My, hardly ever. Peraeaal. J. W. Early has returned from his eastern trip. Ed. Polly and wife of Seward have been visiting friends in the city. Jas. H. Threw, of Lincoln, was in the city last week attending court. Geo. Camp, who is engaged iu teaching at Duncan, was in the city Saturday. Mrs. Hattie Dixon and her two children, also Mrs. Irwin and her daughter Jennie, of Illinois, are vis iting with J. R. Smith's folks. Senator Van Wyck came this way Saturday evening, on his road home from the sooth Platte country, where he has been campaigning with his usual vim. O. H. Davis, son of W. D., recently returned from Wyoming, after a month's sojourn. He doesn't thick so much of that country as he does of Texas, in which state he spent three months during the last summer. Float Coayeatleaa. Columbus, Oct, 18, '84. The Republican senatorial and float representative convention of Platte and Colfax counties was held at the Court House, Columbus, Platte Co., Neb., October 18tb, 1884. J. D. Miles was elected chairman and E. Pohl, secretary. On motion, the chair appointed John Wiggins aud E. T. Hodsdon as committee on credentials. Said com mittee reported the following named persons entitled to seats in the con vention, to wit : Platto county C. S. Webster, Geo. Mahood, Herman Pieper by E. Pohl as proxy, John Wiggins, W. H. Ham ilton, John Blomqvist, F. W. Tate. Colfax county Jac Langby, Jos. Galbraith by Lapache proxy, S. P. Dutten by Hodsdon proxy, John La pache, J. C. Yangildar, J. D. Miles, Geo. Erb. On motion of E. T. Hodsdon, Wm. A. McAllister was nominated by ac clamation as candidate for senator. On motion of E. T. Hodsdon, W. J. Sutherland was nominated as candi date for representative and his nomi nation made unanimous. On motion, E. T. Hodsdon and E. Pohl were elected as central commit tee for both counties. On motion, convention adjourned. E. PoiJL, Sec'y. A. Hearty Welcome. Over cloven years ago tho famous Alleghanian Vocalists and Bell Ringers mado the bestcentrc of our population and intelligence ring in their praise. Their entertainments were so attractive, entertaining and pleasing, that the name of the Alle ghians was sufficient to draw a crowded house anywhere. When they left the country for a tour in the old world they had the best wishes of all for their continued prosperity and safe return. And now after a successful tour of many years they have returned to our midst and all give them a hearty welcome. They arc to appear at the Onera House hore on Friday evening next, Oct. 24th. They deserve a bumper house. We clip the following from the Detroit Free Press of Feb. 28, 1884: The Alleghanians.vocalists and Swiss bell ringers, gave a very pleasing en tertainment at the Grand Opera HouBe last night before a goodly sized audience, containing a large sprinkling of children. There are seven talented people in the troupe, aud their bell-ringing is alternated with songs, ducts and glees of an at tractive and enlivening nature. Tho whole is well worth listening to, and at the modest price of admission (fifty cents) ought to be patronized. There is i goodly infusion of the comic element in the performance, the buffo songs of Mr. Field, and tho comic duels of two of the ladies causing great amusement. The cat duet was inimitable. During the evening the "Virginia Rosebud" and RueBell's descriptive song of "The Ship on Fire," were given by the chorus, with fine dramatic effect. All were delighted with the familiar old airs skillfully produced from the bells. lluiapkrey. Rev. Gearhart preached his first sermon Sunday last to a large audi ence. The Methodists have again resumed work on their church building; the ceremony of laying the corner stone will be held on Thursday Oct. 23d. Blaine for president and good prices for produce will be the making of a rich country in this vicinity, as the produce is already in the hands of the farmers. The sociable given by tho A. O. U. W. on Thursday evening last was a decided success. Much credit is due the ladies in preparing the magnifi cent supper. Mr. P. II. O'Rourk arrived in town Saturday last after an absence of about six month". Your correspond ent has been unable to ascertain whether he intends staying or not. Mr. Wm. Allstadt made a stirring speech and many goods points were made in favor of the Republican party; tho one hundred and sixty acreB of land given to the farmers, the full treasury and the good govern ment generally, are among the many reasons why Blafne and Logan should be placed at the head to carry out the noble principles of the Republicau party. Alliaace Meeting. The County Alliance will meet at Humphrey, Tuesday, Oct. 28th, at 1 o'clock p. m. All subordinate Alli ances are requested to send a full set of delegates as there will be import ant business to transact.

Allstadt of North Platte and Hon. W. A. McAllister of this city. Mr. Valentine has been speaking in various portions of the state, and is doing excellent work for the national ticket. His audience here (which filled the Opera House) was exceed ingly well pleased with the plain, candid and fair manner in which he presented the republican gospel. It was just such a speech as should be listened to In every school house in Nebraska by every voter for presi dent, vice-president and congressman. The meeting in front of the Clother House Friday evening was a very large and enthusiastic one, and at tended by a number of prominent democrats or tne connty. A new feature of the preliminaries was a company of cavalry in the parade. The long line of footmen in their uni form, and bearing torches, followed by fifty on horses, also bearing torch es, made a fine appearance. Staid citizens may talk as they please about the propriety of campaign parapher nalia, but earnestness in a good cause can be evinced in very many laudable ways besides secret prayer for suc cess. After parading the streets, the pro cession brought up at the Clother House, the speakers addressing the audience from the vantage of a store box. Mr. Gundry of Omaha gave the prelude in a few earnest, well chosen words that pnt the audience in trim for the address of the evening by Hon. John M. Thurston of Omaha, who held the large audience for two hours under the shower of his wit, humor, logic and pathos. No ac count of Thurston's speeches could do him justice, because none could reproduce his wonderful voice, and the peculiar spirit of humor that runs as a thread of gold all through the warp of his speech. His audience was an appreciative one, responding quickly and heartily to the sentiments he uttered, aud wishing that he would talk on, although he endeavored to stop several times. John may expect large audiences whenever he comes to Columbus to talk. DISTRICT COURT. Imdlotatemta by the Oramd Jury, aad Cum DiipMed Of.
