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

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.

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

KepaMIcaa Meetings.
That of Wednesday evening of last
week at the Opera House was ad
dressed by Hon. E. K. Valentino, a
few remarks boing made by Wm.
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.
