prietor of the Columbus Democrat,
having purchased the interest of his
lato partner, TV. N. Hensley. Mr.
Hensley will engage for the present
in the practice of law with James G.
Reeder.
A very hopeful sign of the times
for this part of the great footstool is
the fact that a number of parties from
thg east were in the city within the
past few days inquiring after real
estate, principally farm lands, with a
view to purchasing.
J. S. Freeman, David L. Bruen
and II. S. Redenbaugh went down
yesterday to Lincoln, to attend the
anti-monopoly convention in session
there this week. The farmer senti
ment on railroad legislation will be
well represented by them.

Carrig, M. Doody, Jas. Carrig and
John Burke one car each. They were
well pleased with their treatment by
Boyd.
Mr. J. B. McFarland, one of
Chicago's solid business men, was
in the city Monday. He has done a
good deal of commission business
with Columbus 6tock shippers, and is
just the kind of a man calculated to
thrive in the atmosphere of western
thrift and push.
At a meeting of the Fire De

fore Police Judge Hensley last Mon
day, we believe on complaint of
Herman Oehlnch, on a charge of
keeping a nuisance, said nuisance
consisting of a hog and sheep yard
In the southeastern part of the city.

A Polish jubilee on the bottom
Sunday night was turned into a gen
eral free-for-all fight as near as we
are able to judge from the accounts
we hear. An old gray-headed Po
lander badly used up in the melee,
and is lying at the hospital in a
critical condition, the most noticeable
result of his rough handling being a
broken nose. Not enough water in
the alcohol was probably one of the
prime causes of the unpleasantness.
Gus. G. Becher & Co. are selling
tickets to and from all points in
Europe at one-half regular rates.
Now is the time to purchase tickets.
Mr. Jaeggi, of the firm, having made
the trip to Europe several times, is
competent to give information to
those contemplating a visit to the old
country which will be valuable to
them in avoiding numerous perplex
ities as well as in making the journey
at the least possible cost. 40-tf
Tho sheriff of Colfax county was
in the city Tuesday night of last week
with the man Heldt, the would-be
train wrecker lately sentenced by
Judge Tiffany at Schuyler to ten
years' bard labor in the pen. The
prisoner was lodged in jail here over
night and the next morning was
taken by way of the B. & M. to Lin
coln. He had succeeded in escaping
from jail at Schuyler by digging
through the wall of his cell, but was
captured biding in a cellar.
Numerous complaints are being
made by the farmers of the county
about humbug insurance agents. For
ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain these traveling solicitors are
likely to take tho cake. Take no
risk? but go to your home agents.
There are agents at Humphrey,
Platte Center and Columbus and
there is no call for any risk of being
swindled. Gus. G. Becher & Co. will
attend to your wants in this line and
with them you are sure of a square
deal. 40-1
Abortions among
cows in this
locality are very numerous again this
spring. Writers in the scientific
journals of tho country seem united
in the opinion that cows having lost
their calves should be immediately
removed to themselves, the remains
of the abortion placed out of sight
and smell and in the lot or compart
ment where it occurred disinfectants
should be used. Where these pre
cautions are not taken it is claimed
that every cow of the herd is liable to
lose her calf.
Clark's Railway Digest and Hand
Book for the Employe is a neat
pamphlet of 52 pages by our towns
man, L. A. Clark; it is an unpreten
tious little work, but contains on its
pages a fund of information no where
else to be found in so small a compass
and at so little cost. The table of the
forty-seven railway companies of the
United States, each operating over
500 miles of road, and showing num
ber of employes, number of cars, en
gines, average monthly disbursements
&c, is itself worth the price of the
book.
A lot of tramps infested the city
Monday eyeuing who seemed to have
got a very favorable impression of
the Columbus jail as a place to quar
ter during the cold weather. They
were possessed of sufficient of the
"needful" to get about half drunk,
and openly boasted that about sixty
days in the cooler would suit them to
a dot. They were not gratified, but
succeeded in monopolizing the atten
tion of the police until threatened
with quarters for the night in a box
car under lock and key, when they
were soon conspicuous for their
absence.
We still hear of occasional losses
of Cattle. In the fall and beginning
of winter the deaths were attributed
to feeding on the dry corn stalks, and
it was generally thought that after
6now fall the trouble wonld cease. C.
E. Morse who has lately lost several
head, thinks if the theory that the
stalks is the cause of the mortality It
is strange that in many herds in his
neighborhood which have fed contin
ually in the stalk fields there should
be no deaths. This is undoubtedly
true in a great many instances, and
we are inclined to think that a plenti
ful supply of wholesome water for
stock while feeding upon dry proven
der is something more vitally neces
sary to a healthy condition than many
farmers seem to imagine.
Wednesday last a man and little
girl, apparently strangers, were notic
ed upon the street, the little one
always an object of pity from sympa
thetic hearts, as she was exposed to'
the extreme cold,- and dragged from
saloon to saloon while the man was
engaged in the preliminaries of get
ting beastly drank. It seems that the
man, who was the. father of the child,
had lived at Humphrey, and that In
temperance had rendered him a com
plete vagabond and canted him to
neglect to" provide for his offspring ;
and he the only natural protector the
child had at that place, the good citi
zens made op a parse to purchase a
ticket to Minneapolis, Minn., where
other relative reside. Besides f the
ticket,. it appean a few dollars had
been given the wretched man to pur
chase something to vat daring the
journey. At this city he got off the
train and before night had poured the
money down his throat and was in an
almost helpless state of intoxication.
They were cared for over night by
Sheriff Kavanaugh, and to his kind
ness and more sensibly applied char
ity than that which placed money at
the wretched drunkard's disposal,
they were furnished with something
to eat on the way, which was entrust
ed to the care of the little girl. It is
possible that those who sold the man
liquor were not aware of all the cir
cumstances which demanded that they
refuse him the same. If they were
acquainted with the facts, no punish
ment which the law could impose
would meet the requirements of the
case.
Parents would do well to see
that their small children when com
pelled to go to and fro in the city un
attended avoid the crossing on Olive
street, else the utmost watchfulness
of the flagman may not avail to save
the little ones from accident. The
other day as three trains were pulling
up to the crossing two from the east
and one from the west, and while the
flagman was busy keeping back teams
which were crowding up, he noticed
a little child standing directly on the
track of the train coming down from
the west, the two trains going east
having passed botween and cut off all
possibility of direct aid from him.
He shouted to the conductor passing
nearest the little one and called his
attention to its danger just in the
nick of time for him to save it from
being run down by the engine. He
swung out and lifted it from its
perilous position with one hand
while holding to the train with the
other. The child was probably be
wildered and half paralyzed by the
proximity of so many trains.
We are in receipt of an anony
mous communication giving an ac
count of an imported boy who, it is
said, was maltreated in different ways
by rough usage and exposure to cold,
and finally died in an agony of fever,
without medical attention. Also a
girl who was hunted down by a dog
and nearly devoured. The person
writing these things evidently be
lieves them to be facts and depreca
tingly says, "if we bad any man of
any courage in this neighborhood
such brutes would be dealt with, but
as it is I suppose we will have to
stand what comes next." The world
has, here and there, cases of as abject
servitude as were ever seen under the
burning sun of the south in the
worst days of African slavery. The
task-masters did not all die in Egypt,
and America is not yet free from all
species of slavery.
Our government can no longer
be said to be an experiment. One
hundred years of successful existence
have established it as a permanent in
stitution. The magnificent condnct
of the people during the late election
proves their patriotism, and the wis
dom of our Constitution. Onr im
mense commercial interests also fur
nish convincing proof. We know of
no better illustration of the success
attending honorable and able business
methods than the firm of D. M. Ferry
& Co., Detroit, Mich., the leading
seedsmen of this country. From small
beginnings, thirty yearB ago, they
have built up their mammoth busi
ness by strict adherence to their ini
tial principle of furnishing only the
best seeds obtainable. They offer to
send their valuable "Annual" free to
all who expect to buy seeds or bulbs.

J. A. Tawney, Esq., a leading at

"After using it for more than three
years, I take great pleasure in stating
that I regard Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, as the best
remedy in the world for Coughs and
Colds. It has never failed to cure the
most severe colda I have had, and in
variably relieves the pain in the
chest."

There now seems to be a flatter
ing prospect that the canning business
started here last spring by Messrs.
Armstrong & Davis, is to become one
of our permanent institutions, enough
money having been subscribed by our
leading citizens and business men to
place it upon a secure business foot
ing. It will be under the manage
ment of D. S. Armstrong, an ener
getic and thorough-going business
man, an indefatigable worker and
eminently qualified in every way to
make the business a success.

Ed. Journal: Tho first step to
wards obtaining anything of value is
usually to find out just what you
want.
Now what do the people want in
the line of transportation? What
will satisfy ns, and settle the ques
tion definitely?
When we find an answer to this,
we may nope to approach the solu
tion of how to obtain what we want.
The only plan that I have heard
which promises a full and complete
settlement, is for the U. S. govern
ment to own and operate all the rail
roads at or about the actual average
cost. Is there any other settlement
proposed that would have a prospect
of permanence, or are there any suf
ficient reasons why we should not
adopt the plan that has been men
tioned i
I write this in hopes your readers
may let us know, through your col
umns, what the result of the thought
that has been expended on the sub
ject is, and that we may exchange
thoughts, examine the merits of any
scheme proposed, so as to arrive at
some conception of what, as a people,
we ought to work for. I think we
have wasted about enough energy
with Bcatter-guns, if we can find a
mark to aim at. A.
