Beg pardon if this item of news briugs
up unpleasant recollections here
abouts. Young couples when out sleigh
riding should not allow themselves
to become so utterly oblivious to pre
sent surroundings as to leave the
road and drive slap into a ditch big
enough to bury the whole party. A
little incident which happened in the
southern suburbs of the city Sunday
evening last and which turned a
merry sleighing party into a forlorn
promenade, causes these suggestions
by the pencil.

A business letter from our old
friend Eben Pierce, who was a merch
ant here in 1870-1, but for some years
a resident of Tacoma, Washington
Ty., states that everything is moving
along satisfactorily there. He talks
of gaB works completed, and a force
laying water mains. The population
of the city is upwards of 6,000. Eben
thinks their city the liveliest in the
northwest.
Conductor Kelly, that used to be,
late superintendent of tho Kansas
Central railroad was in the city

In that event some old-timers and

From Doctor Evans, who was
called to attend the case, we learn that
the little child of Michael Sheedy was
terribly burned, by accident, at the
bands of its mother one day last week;
Tbe mother was engaged in pouring
some boiling water from one vessel
into another when tbe child stumbled
over the vessel receiving the boiling
liquid. Tbe lower limbs and abdo4
men were very badly scalded, but the
little patient is doing nicely and will
recover.
One of onr subscribers has sug
gested to ns to call a meeting of citi
zens who desire legislation, to confer
with members of the legislature. We
do not like to take the responsibility
of making such a call, but would sug
gest that any one who has an amend
ment that he would like to see made,
write to representatives Irwin Kehoe
and Sutherland, or Senator McAllis
ter, at Lincoln, any of whom would
be yery thankful to receive sugges
tions of value from their constituents.
Some unknown friend has our
thanks for copies of the New Orleans
Times-Democrat and Daily Picayune,
containing lengthy accounts of the
great exposition doings, sights and
and incidents as viewed by reporters
on the grounds. It appears that at
the time these reports were written
the propriety of keeping the grounds
open on Sunday was causing consid
erable local agitation. The papers
mentioned were published on Mon
day, Jan. 12th, and estimated that
from 50,000 to 75,000 people visited!
the exposition grounds the day be
fore. This would seem to indicate
that the plan is not unpopular with
visitors, at least.
Zero weather here when one fete
used to it is as much enjoyed by
Northwesters as the rose scented sir
of winter farther south is enjoyed by
them. It is in the cold weather belt
that one finds the rosy cheeked lads
and lasses, full of life and vigor and
snap, and this infused in our business
is one of the secrets of western push
and enterprise. Farmers of Nebraska
I could not be persuaded to trade their

This Is Tory nicely said and Is, no
doubt, quite trae ; bat the fellow who
is compelled to tarn ont of bed before
daylight and run all over the homse in
bare feet for another match, while
cold -shivers threaten to uncouple

It is generally thought that the
legislature will make an appropria
tion for the erection of an additional
asylum for the insane. We learn that
there are already two bills introduced,
one for locating the structure at
Grand Island, the other at Norfolk.
The enterprising business men of
Columbus are alive to tho importance
of securing such an institution at this
point and measures have been taken
to see that our advantages are prop
erly set forth to members at Lincoln.
This will be done by Messrs. L. Ger
rard, J. E. North and A. M. Post, a
committee appointed at a meeting
on Saturday, who will go to Lincoln
this week. An executive committee
was appointed, consisting of Carl
Kramer, B. R. Cowdery and D. D.
Wadsworth. Every citizen or friend
of ColumbuB who can bave an influ
ence upon the result should work for
the good of the city, and work at
once.
The following item which is taken
from the Gordon Press will enlighten
many of the friends and acquaint
ances of the youug man mentioned
upon a certain happy and important
event in his life which the article
does not directly relate to that is
that he has gone and got married :
"Last Friday was the anniversary
of the birthday of Charles Rickly, and
Mrs. Rickly, in conjunction with a
number of Charley's associates, made
it the occasion of a happy surpriseto
him. A confederate of Mrs. Rickly
led Charles away about the middle of
the afternoon and kept him busy
until about 7 o'clock, when he was
sent for, and came home to find about
fifteen of the young men of tbe town
awaiting to ask him to join them in
celebration of his birthday. Mrs.
Rickly prepared a fine supper, which
was duly appreciated and praised by
all, and tbe evening passed pleasantly
in social conversation and the ex
pression of mutual well wishes."
An individual with communistic
ideas about the rights of property, tbe
same probably being intensified by an
over load of "tangle foot," stepped
into one of our dry goods stores tbe
other day and boldly appropriating to
himself a nice, warm cap and throw
ing aside bis old hat went about his
business. Tbe principal business in
hand just then seems to have been to
get drunk, as he walked directly from
the store to a saloon. On being fol
lowed and restitution of tbe cap de
manded he seemed quite indignant
that he was denied tbe right to pos
sess himself of that for which he was
suffering. If not a professional crook
(and the circumstances scarcely war
rant the conclusion) he was probably
a little off his mental balance, as the
state of intoxication the fellow was in
would not account for such an ex
centricity. Tbe case of the State vs. H. C.
Niblock, against whom complaint was
made several weeks ago by J. W.
Early, on a charge of defrauding him
while his partner in the insurance
business here, came up for prelimi
nary hearing and occupied Friday and
Saturday of last week in Judge Ham
mond's court, resulting in the dis
charge of the accused. The attorneys
in the case were Bowman & Walker
and Macfarland & Cowdery for the
prosecution, and Jas. G. Reeder and
Cornelius & Sullivan for the defense.
The Bestrice Express gives the
following as J. S. Bently's method of
enring his hogs of the cholera. Fif
teen years ago he loBt all the hogs he
had ; he made a special study of the
disease by dissection, and found it
dne to the presence of worms in great
numbers in the intestines, and finally
hit upon the remedy, which proves
with him a specific : one teaspoonful
castor oil, one teaspoonful of spirits
of turpentine and six drops of car
bolic acid catch the hog and pour
the dose down his throat

Mb. Editor: Will you please give
me a little space in your excellent
and widely read journal.
I observe that there is still a good
deal of incredulity and prejudice
among farmers and small stockmen
rogarding blooded and high-priced
animals. Many a man when he hears
that a Mr. Culbertson imported a
nine-year-old cow "The Grove 3d"
at a cost of $4,100, or that the famous
"Lord Wilton" was sold when eleven
years old for $19,3111 eay, many a
mau when he hears or reads such a
statement, sneers at it as a made-up
story deserving no credit. It seems
to your writer that such a statement
is no more incredible than that a man
paid $1 for a ponnd of seed potatoes,
when he can buy a whole bushel for
25 cts. He will tell you, potatoes
and potatoes differ. While he pays
at the rate of 25 r.ts. a bushel for hid
table, he pays at the rate of $C0 for
planting. If your correspondent un
derstands figures, a man paying say
seven thousand two hundred dollars
for a cow for breeding purpose?,
while he could buy ono for beef or
milk for $30 or $40, does not pay any
more in proportion than the one pay
ing $1 a ponnd for the potatoes.
But if any of your readers doubt
statements like the above, they forget
that if untrue, their writers wonld
soon be challenged to prove them.
Permit me to illustrate this by the
following from the National Live
Stock Journal for November last:
THE CHALLENGE CUP OF GREAT BRI
TAIN. In looking over the October nnmber
of the National Live Stock Journal
I observe a statement to the effect
that the imported Clydesdale stallion,
Baron Keir, owned by Singmaster
Bro s , of Keota, Iowa, is the only
animal in America that ever won the
challenge cup, open to Great Britain ;
now as I take a great interest in
Clydesdale stock, and being as I
think, tolerably well posted on the
price recotds of all the most noted
horses, I wonld like to be informed
when and where tbe above named
horse gained a challenge cup in Great
Britain.
He may bave gained such an honor
unknown to me, and if so, I will be
glad to learn tbe place and tbe date.
A Scotch Reader.
Now, Mr. Editor, Singmaster Bros,
will have to come forward and prove
the truth of their statement or stand
convicted of an untruth, convicted by
a man away off in Scotland. The
intelligent readers of the Journal
will see by this that in an age and in
a country of newspapers, truth is re
quired of every man, and liars will
soon be branded as such. This in the
stoc bnBiness as well as in any
other.
Tbe time when people nsed to think
that anything in tbe stock line was
good enough is past and gone never
to return.

BCETTCHER,

ford," is the motto now-a-days, and
most so in Platte county, we arc glad
to observe. Let a man go as far as
his purse will permit him in the line
of graded and thoroughbred breed
ing stock. Tho best seeds, the best
brecdiug stock that I can afford,
should be every farmer's and every
stockman's motto!
Of conrae it would be foolish for a
man of small means to invest all in
one or two animals however good;
but a farmer owning only a dozen
cows for instance will do well to ob
tain a good thoroughbred male, or at
least a good grade, and two or three
neighbors may club together and get
one as good as they are able to buy.
Poor breeding etock is poor policy
and worse economy. The best is none
too good. Stockman-.
"tO lIogK."
"I am going into hogp," has been
the ultimatum of many a farmer, after
deliberating with Sally, Sarah or
Katy, as the name of tho old lady
happened to be. But don't you think
Mr. Editor, that the hog business is
being overdone a little? A fellow
away off in Michigan, if I recollect
aright, has 6hot off something at the
western farmers liko the following:
"Tho western farmer wants more
land. What for? To raise more
corn. What for? To feed more hogs.
What for? To buy moro land. What
for ? To raise more corn. What for ?
To feed more hogs. What for? To
buy more land," etc., etc. But many
a man is getting tired of this eternal
round and round. He wants less
land to raise less corn, to feed less
hog(, etc., and the great abundance of
this year's hog crop and the low
prices of the porkers will tend to
equalize matters a little and give us
less hogs and more money for them.

One fatal step and alone
Without a sign or token.
By death's relentless dart
The thread oflife was broken.
No relatives were near
To watch by his djlng bcil,
But other friends assembled there
And cared for him instead.
Though hearts are bruised to-day.
Crushed by a weight of sorrow;
To perish is but to gain
A happier life to-morrow.
Death has entered many homes
His shadow rests upon the wall.
He's standing now at the door
He demands the lives of all.
