KanEas City Evening Journal:
"The real show is to be seen in Josie
and Morris Sullivan, whose eccentric
6ongs, dances and comicalities are
irresistibly funny, and keep the au
dience in good humor from the open
ing to the close. Morris Sullivan is
immense, and must be seen to be
properly appreciated. We can cor
dially recommend this show as being
worthy of patronage to all who love
fun without vulgarity," Opera House
to-morrow night.
All who witnessed the entertain
ment given here a few years ago by
the Dan Morris Sullivan combination
will bear the Journal out in Baying
that they give the best entertainment
of the kind ever witnessed here. To
say nothing of the beautiful pano-'
ramie scenes of Ireland, the inimita
ble character sketches, songs and
dances by Dan and Josie Morris Sul
livan are well worth the price f
admission. They will appear at the
Opera House to-morrow night and
lso on Friday night.

Tuesday morning at about 2 o'clock
James Hughes's 6table was seen to be
on fire, cause not known, as nobody
was allowed to sleep there. This
stable was in the rear of the old Upton
House, known to many of our read
ers. It burned down, as did Ballou's
drug store, L. C. Smith's dry goods
and grocery store, Chase's bakery and
restaurant, Proke's meat market, and
Arnold's store. The stable contained
34 horses, all of which were burned
but two. Bryant'e new brick bank
was saved. We get the particulars
from Wra. Draper, Esq., of Schuyler,
who was in this city yesterday. This
loss will be severely felt by Schuyler
because it is the second heavy loss
during 1884.
Geo. Henggler has lost two head
of cattle recently by the common
complaint. He believes that, although
cattle may have free access to good
water they are apt to neglect taking
a drink until it is too late for them to
be benefitted by it, and suggests that,
besides the precautions generally
taken, the cattle should be driven to
water every day. With plenty of
water, he feels sure that the smut in
the corn does no injury; otherwise
that it acts like a poison.
The Good Templars have suc
ceeded in securing by their late efforts
in the line of a festival the sum of
$31.15, as a special fund for the fur
therance of the cause espoused by the
Order, for which they are thankful.
This amount is deposited in bank as a
nucleus, and persons disposed to aug
ment it can leave their contributions
with with J. S. Murdock, P. W. C. T.,
Miss Olia Ashbangh, W. F. S., or
Mrs. E. L. Morse, W. V. T., and the
same will be gratefully acknowledged
and faithfully applied to temperance
efforts. x. t.
Saml. Weddell's oldest boy, aged
five, accompanied him to mill Satur
day week, and, instead of staying in
the wagon, as his father expected him
to do, his curiosity to see machinery
(almost uncontrollable in every well
regulated boy) overcame him, and be
entered the mill with almost fatal
result. His arm was caught by the
cogs of a wheel, and, just as his head
was about to be mashed in the merci
less grind of the wheels, his father
caught him. The right arm was con
siderably mashed, chest bruised and
head slightly grazed.
The Nance County Journal re
ported one J. W. Henry, a photo
grapher of Cedar Rapids, as going
through Fullerton, accompanied by
another man's wife and his three
children, the husband appearing on
the ground later, to recover his chil
dren,&c.,wherenpon Mr. H.,the photo
grapher writes to the Journal to re
tract or he will sue for libel. If the
Journal keeps on it will be famous
beyond its average cotemporaries.
The newspaper that can afford to de
fend a libel Fuit occasionally is re
garded with envy by the profession.
It is presumed, of course, that papers
speak the truth for the good of their
readers.
Marshalltown (la.) Republican:
Sullivan's troupe was presented last
night to a fair house. The entertain
ment they give is one of the best
going, and any who expected to see
anything cheap or vulgar in it were
compelled last night to admit their
error. If all "dollar" entertainments
were as careful of the ears of listeners
as tho Sullivan's, as a rule, it would
be just aB well. Josie is a bright,
piquant creature, and knows how lit
tle comedy there iB in "high kicking."
Her acting was good throughout.
Dan was generally good. On the
whole, they gave a good, clean, amus
ing entertainment. At Opera House
to-morrow night.
Messrs. Jackson & Thurbcr are
here with a splendid thing in the
way of a wheel, which we believe
will revolutionize the business of
wheel-making. It is claimed that the
weight is borne entirely by the upper
spokes; the hub is of malleable iron,
and the spokes and tire of Bessemer
steel ; that the boxes, when worn out
can be replaced in five minutes at a
cost of 20 cents; that Bpokes, when
broken, can be replaced by any one at
a cost of 4 cents each, and without
going to shops. These gentlemen are
here for business, and can be found
at the Grand Pacific. Tho wheel can
be seen at the Foundry, Grand Pacific
or Routson & Waldron's.
Our north Nebraska exchanges
are warning their readers against a
swindler who is traveling through
the country purporting to sell the
right to a combined corn shelling and
feed grinding machine. His scheme
is to represent that he is not selling
the sample machine, but simply show
ing its good qualities. "Still he
would take orderB, but he must have
a certified statement of what the
farmer is worth before he would dis
pose of the right. In abont two
weeks afterwards the farmer learns
to his sorrow that he has signed a
note for $200. Look out for him."
We called attention several weeks
ago to the doings of one of these
chaps near Newman's Grove.
A woman with two children, one
in the arms and the other a little
toddler by her side, was in the city
Friday last looking for employment
as nurse or housekeeper. She stated
that she was from Grand Island, and
bad been compelled to flee from her
home on account of s brutal, drunken
husband, who had assailed and mal
treated her and then turned her out
of doors. The woman's appearance
was rather intelligent and prepossess
ing, and whether domestic infelicity
through whiskey or some other fell
agency was the cause of her leaving
her home to cast her lot among
strangers, her position alone and
friendless among strangers, looking
for employment to earn bread and
clothing for herself and little ones
was calculated to stir pity in the
heart of an Indian tobacco sign.

The many friends of Miss Rose
North will be pleased to learn that
she is rapidly recovering from her
recent illness.
Charlie Sloan, chief of the washee
washee men was in the city last Sat
urday and Sunday and called at the
Journal office.
Mr. W. H. Winship, of York state,
father to Chas. Winship and uncle to
Fred. Shaw of this city, arrived here
on a visit last week.
F. Scheck and Joseph Henggler
were at Cedar Rapids last Wednes
day. The completion of tho railroad
was duly celebrated.
Ed. Downs and wife started last
week for San Jose, California, where
they expect to make their future
home, on account of tho health of
Mr. D.
Rev. Father Flood of Omaha was
in town several days last week. He
has a host of friends in Platte county
who will always be glad to hear of
his welfare.
J. C. Tasker of Genoa was in the
city Friday last and was accompanied
home by his father and mother, late
fsom Massachusetts, who have been
visiting their son J. E. of this city.
G. B. Hardell returned yesterday
morning from Albion, where he was
visiting friends. He says Albion is
booming, and speaks especially of
their fine opera house and skating
rinks.
Mrs. E. V. Nichols, ?ee Miss Wes
cott, of Marseilles, III., accompanied
by her husband, is visiting her pa
rents near the city. After an absence
of two years Mr. and Mrs. Nichols
notice many changes by way of im
provements. Julius Hembd, accompanied by
Mrs. G. Leuschen and her two youug
est children, start today for Wiscon
sin, expecting to be absent uutil after
New Years. This is the first visit
back to the old place after an absence
of seven years.
We suppose that it is hardly
worth while auy more to recognize
the fact that Nebraska has any laws
against crime that the criminals are
bound to respect. We are told (and
we presume it is true) that the man
mentioned in the proceedings of the
last court as having been indicted for
keeping a gambling place, and having
been found guilty, fined $75 and
ordered committed until the fine
should be paid, has never been com
mitted, has not paid the fine, is at
large, and is still conducting his busi
ness at the same place. The Jour
nal, faithful to its duty, calls special
attention to this matter, not from any
disposition of personal enmity but
because gambling is a crime against
society, a crime destructive of busi
ness interests, a crime which breaks
up families, a crime which supports
and feed 8 criminals and those who
prey upon society ; it is not good for
the man who engages in it as a busi
ness ; it ib not good for the boys and
men who lose their tens, hundreds
and thousands of dollars (as we have
known in Columbus) it is good for
nobody. The citizens of Columbus
who have auy respect for themselves
or any regard for the material welfare
of the place must 6eo to it before long
that the laws against crime are en
forced, because men who would oth
erwise locate here are deterred from
doing so by this state of affairs. Co
lumbus must waken up in this and
other respects, or else fence herself in.
It will be remembered that a
short time ago the Denver express
narrowly escaped being wrecked
between Schuyler and North Bend
the engine being actually thrown
from the track. It appears that the
man Heldt, who gave the iu forma
tion of the supposed plot has since
been in the employ of the railroad
company to guard that particular
piece of road. There now seem to
be some new developments, in speak
ing of which the Schuyler Sun of the
27th inst. says :
"In the meantime detectives have
been hero looking the situation over,
and on last Friday Frank was sum
moned to report at headquarters in
Omaha for further instructions. Ar
riving there he was submitted to a
very searching interview, and when
he informed the officials that be
thought his services in the line as had
been rendered were worth to the
road about seven dollars a day, hand
cuffs were slapped onto him and he
was answered that "seven years in
the pen would be a more appropriate
compensation" and Frank Heldt
was taken into custody as the perpe
trator of the deed himself. He was
brought to Schuyler Monday, and
bearing began before Justice Mc
Clung, which investigation is in pro
gress as we go to press."

Was observed by the denizens of
ColumbuB iu accordance with the
various notions which exist in tho
minds of the people as to a fitting
manner in which to give expression
to the thanks which the great rulers
of our Nation and State, after the
time-honored custom originating with
our pilgrim fathers of New England,
request the people to observe as a day
of thanksgiving. Our good old fore
fathers originally designed the day as
a harvest festival, and acknowledged
the beautiful gifts of nature as provi
dential blessings. The modern
thanksgiving does not adhere strictly
to this sentiment, but in the matter of
the turkey, which then as now was
the particular feature of the feast, the
custom has been handed down from
generation to generation in an uu-
broken line of succession. And how
ever widely apart may be the views
upon other features of the day, we
can all agree that a turkey dinner
seems to be an essential adjunct to a
fitting observance of it.
The day was a beautiful one, al
most phenomenal for this season of
the year, reminding everyone that
there was common cause for feeling
thankful for the most beautiful fall
that has blessed this locality for
many a year.
The banks, the post-office and many
of the business houses of the city were
closed and the day pretty generally
observed as a National holiday.
Union services were held at the M.
E. church, where the religiously in
clined assembled to return thanks in
the manner which to them seemed
most proper.
Of the principal entertaining
features of the evening we may men
tion as particularly pleasant the ball
given at the Opera House by the
Order of Eastern Star, at which
some Bixty couples of the elite of
Columbus participated. Your re
porter does not speak from the ex
perience of participation as he was
suffering from indisposition (possibly
an overdose of the national fowl) and
forced to deny himself the pleasure
of even a look in upon the happy
scene, but report justifies us in saying
that it was one of the most pleasant
social affairs of the season.
The Thanksgiving ball at the skat
ing rink under the management of
the genial proprietor of that popular
place of public resort and amusement,
was also largely attended, and a
happy social time is the popular ver
dict we hear from tnose who attend
ed. The oyster supper given by tho
I. O. G. T's was a financial success
we are pleased to learn, and tbey are
awarded the credit of having de
lightfully catered to the palates of
their patrons.
The bard times seems to have
bred a sort of plagiarism epidemic
which "rustles" after pathetically
worded appeala to delinquent sub
scribers to relieve the mental stress
upon the publisher iucident to run
ning a newspaper without money.
The Rising Independent sorrowfully
chides the Fullerton Journal for ap
propriating without credit its "beau
tiful and touching request to our
readers who have a sort of financial
forgetfuluess," and the Schuyler Sun
quotes the chidings with the sympa
thetic remark, "some fellow over iu
your county served us the same way."
Tut, tut, boys; you shouldn't men
tion it. Anything that gives the
shadow of a promise of relieving a
distressed brother in these times
should be cheerfully donated for the
common weal of the fraternity.
However, we are sorry that you havo
not all got lists like the Journal iu
which every individual subscriber is
a star.
The Platte county Teachers As
sociation will hold its monthly meet
ing at the Lost Creek school house,
Friday evening, December iUb. It is
the aim of the association to hold
these meetings in different parts of
the county, to give all our members
and friends an opportunity to attend.
In this way we hope to promote the
cause of education. Come one and
all, listen to our papers, and take a
part in our discussions. These meet
ings are not only for the teachers,
but for all those interested in the
cause of education. Our program
will be as follows. Paper flow to
teach Geography, by Miss M. E. Mc
Gath. Select reading Mr. O'Brien.
Paper The importance of the study
of U. S. history in our public schools,
by Mr. Fred. Jewell. Declamation
By Miss Anna Bell Smith. Paper
Tho relation teachers should sustain
to each other, by L. J. Cramer.
Music.
To the chnrch and the people of
Columbus. Please remember that
the envelope system was put on foot
by the stewards of the M. . church,
to raise money for the support of
their pastor. Thus far it has gone
well. To remind the church and
people of their duty, and for their
convenience, boxes with envelopes in
them have been put up at the door
and in other convenient places in the
church, where you are earnestly in
vited to help yourself with an en
velope each Sabbath as you go in,
placing your gift or pay in the en
velope with your name and amount
on it. Back pay is earnestly hoped
for. Hoping and praying that this
enterprise will pxpve a success, we
remain your humble servants.

Corn Starch is the most delicious of
all preparations for Puddings, Cus
tards, Pies, &c. None equals it in
Purity and Whiteness. This starch
never varies; is made from selected
Corn ; a marvel of strength and whole
someness ; more economical than any
other, and is recommended by the
best Chemists as being free from
adulterations. Ask your grocer
for it.

Mr. Ed. North was to be seen on
streets this week and renewed his

greet him again. Mr. North is one
of our earliest acquaintances in this

It is Baid that dull times are not
known by the agents for the great
publishing house of George Stinson
& Co., of Portland, Maine. The
reason of this exceptional success is
found in the fact tiiat they always
give the public that which is keenly
appreciated and at prices that all can
afford. At present we understand,
their agents are doing wonderfully
well on several new lines. They need
many more agents iu all parts of the
country. Those who need profitable
work should apply at once. Women
do as well as men. Experience is
not necessary, for Messrs. Stinson fc
Co. undertake to show all who are
williug to work, not hard but earnest
ly, the path to large success. It
should bo remembered that an agent
can do a handsome business without
being away from home over night.
Another advantage it costs nothing
to give the business a trial, and an
agent can devote all his time, or only
his spare moments to it. Stinson &
Co. guarantee grand success to all
who engage and follow simple and
plain directions that they give. We
have not space to explain all here,
but full particulars will be sent free
to those who address the firm ; their
full address is given above.
LoMtOeek Item.
Corn is a good crop in this vicinity,
and is weighing out extremely well,
but owiug to the extremely low prices
there is very little being marketed.
Many cattle are dying from some
unknown cause. It is generally sup
posed to be from eating stalk?, but
post mortem examinations in many
cases prove the liver to be in bad con
dition, and it is fvared that it is some
thing more serious than usual.
Mr. Elias Jewell and sou Adulbert
started for Colorado Springs last
week, where they intend to spend a
few weeks, and go thenco to New
Mexico or Southern California. They
are traveling for the benefit of Adel
bert'a health, and their many friends
wish them success.

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg,
III., says : "Having received so much
benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it
my duty to let suffering humanity
know it. Have had a running sore
on my leg for eight years ; my doc
tors told me I would havo to have the
hone scraped or leg amputated. I
used, instead, three bottles of Electric
Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's
Arnica Salve, and my leg is now
sound and well."
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty
cents a bottle, and Bucklen's Arnica
Salve at 25c. per box by Dowty &
