First National Bank. 40-tf From present indications there will be no lack of fon at the -city election. The temperance folks pro pose to show their band, and it begins to look as though nothing short of three tickets would satisfy the dif ferent factions. - - - The legislature has provided for the taking of the state census on or before the 1st of June, 1885. It will cover about the same ground as the national census, embracing all matters of interest relating to the growth and material prosperity of the state. Albert Luth recently lost two valuable cows killed by the cars. It would seem as though it would pay the railroad companies, in saving from such accidents, to fence their lines, especially where they traversed a section of country thickly settled and well supplied with stock. Nominations for the city officers are now in order, and we wish to remark that in our opinion the nomi nation of men whose names will be a guarantee that our municipal affairs will be wisely administered for the best interests of the entire communi ty will receive the support of the majority of our citizens. The numerous tramp indicates the approach of spring. He goes forth over all the land, and Bince winter quarters in some nice, warm jail is no longer the sweet desire of his heart, he begs openly aB usual, but does his stealing by stealth, dodging rather than coveting the company of the wary "cop." A new millinery and notion es tablishment is about to be opened on 11th street, at Stump's old stand by "W. W. Damron of this city, late well known and popular salesman in Kra mer's dry goods house. Mr. Damron is a young man of first-class business attainments and will no doubt meet with the success he deserves. A correspondent who disclaims the distinction of being a weather prophet, hot who, nevertheless, makes observations of the weather a careful study, gives it as his opinion "that every change of the moon from now to the middle of May will be more or less cold, rainy or changeable, with high winds interspersed." The action of the .city conncil looking to substantial side-walk im provements in different parts of the city is a commendable one. .Good, side-walks are a blessing to the citi zens of a town as well as being a very noticeable recommendation of thrift to the eyes of all visitors. It is an improvement which pays every time. The different district attorneys of the state will hold their present offices until after the election next fall, when, by act of the late legisla ture, the office is abolished. The law now provides for the election of a county attorney, and also of a regis ter of deeds, bnt there appears to be some donbt about the constitutionality of the latter act A meeting of .the voters .of the city "who favor a strict enforcement, of the law by the officers of the city ; who favor the cause of humanity aad intend to encourage reform; who are opposed to honses of prostitution; who are opposed to saloons and offi cials in the interest of such institu tions," is aaaoanced by poster for this eveaiag at the office of Joha Hammond.

Baak. -1 We lean of a fatal acoideat which happeaed aear Postville, this county, ea Saturday, the 14th iastaat, by which the wife of Mr. D. H. Davis lost her life. 'She had saonated a horse to ride to oae.of the aeighbors, when the horsabecaae aaaiaaageable aad threw her off, causiag lajaries from which she died oathe following Moaday. .. . The solid freezing up of the poads and lakes seems to have played havoc with the fish, killing taesa by. hun dreds. Mr. Gay C-Barnum tells of having seen after the recent thaw at a certain spot across the Loop thous ands of dead fish carcasses washed up on the beak, aad as he expresses it, "at the least calculatloa nine thousaad bushels of dead frogs." C W. Waldron, of the RoaUon WaldroB lead agency, returned last week from Ceraing, Iowa, having completed for "his firm the negotia tion of an extensive real estate trans action by which about 3,000 acres of Cheyenne connty lands go into possession of-some Iowa parties who wish to engage extensively ia the business of stock raising. Mrs. Jane Craven of Kansal'was in this city Friday soliciting con tributions to help her rebuild her dwelling in Ottawa county, that was destroyed by the cyclone of Jane 1883. Some of her family were in jured, and all left homeless, her hus band being disabled for life. These facts' were vouched for oa the sub scription paper by S. D. Houston, Sen., who, she said, was a land agent The Journal job department is prepared to furnish, on short notice, all kinds cf commercial. work, snch as letter heads,' note heads, bill heads, statements, circulars, envel opes, cards, dodgers, posters, Ac; visiting cards; lawyers' briefs; pamphlets; catalogues; sale bills, &c. Satisfaction guaranteed. Orders by mail promptly attended to. Ad dress, M. K. Turner & Co., Colum bus', Nebr. tf Mrs. A. Luth and Mrs. P. H. Finihgcher, with their children, met with quite an incident the other day. On the road between this and Schuy ler there is a bridge, and, at the time we speak of, the water was high and the mules missed the bridge, going into quite a depth of water, giving all the occupants of the wagon a thorough 'soak. The party were dried out at Mr.Erb's and will long re member their escape from drowning. The alarm of fire which was sounded about 9 o'clock last Friday night caused considerable anxious apprehension until it became ap parent that it was in a portion of the city which would not endanger the entire town the extreme southwest suburbs on the bottom. The fire was in what is known as the old Freston building which was burned down, being well, under headway before discovered. The building was unoc cupied and is supposed to have been set on fire by tramps. Mrs. G. W. Anderson modestly disclaims tho distinction of being a lecturess; nevertheless, those who bad the pleasure of listening to her sensible discourse to fathers, mothers, young men and young Women, boys and girls in fact each and every re sponsible momber of the home circle came in somewhere for words of in struction and good advise will award her the credit of placing before her hearers some plain, homely truths in a very pleasing manner. Her lecture should have been much better attended. The late legislature made a num ber of amendments to the school laws. One of the important provis ions is that the connty superintendent shall divide a district on .petition of one-half of the legal voters of each district affected. Formerly a petition of two-thirds was required. Another important provision is. the changing of the school year, which will how commence on the first-Monday in July. The annual meeting will be held on the first Monday in April as heretofore, bat the officers elect do not assume their duties until the be ginning of the school -year, the pres ent officers holding over until that time. ' A good honse greeted the open ing performance of "A Mountain Pink" yesterday afternoon. The popular local favorite, Laura E. Dainty, had a warm reception, and was several times called before the curtain during the progress of the play. She acts the part of Sincerity Weeks in a charming maaaer, and her Southern dialect is perfect. Miss JUie Moses plays two partsBelle Trafton and Samantha Weeks one a Sonthern belle and the other a moon shiner's wife, who smokes a pipe and is altogether unlovely and plays them both well. The part of Felix Bonnery, the outlaw, is well played by Mr. Langdon, and Mr. Henaegaa as Scip makes a very good aged darkey. Mr. Hynson does as well as conld be expected as Harold Wilmot, the conventional lover, and Mr. Denny does a good bit of character actiag ia the part of Jack Weeks. The play abounds ia strong sitaatieas, is handsomely atoanted, aad j edging by the-altdieace at the eveaiag per formance, bids fair U do a large iim. Chicago ffereld. There is probably ao state in the Uaioa which, for its years, can. show so much of a record for general farm ing and stock raising as Nebraska. The rich alluvial soil of Nebraska is admirably adapted to raising all the small grains, and this makes stock, raisiag not only a necessity, bnt won derfully profitable, as all oar fanners kaow theoretically and as all of them will know, practically, as the years, roll by. .We know of places east where it is considered a big thing to raise half a doaea heavy hogs oa a fans, aad ee it is for then, bat in Nebraska it Is ao common occurrence for small farmers to sell from forty to sixty aad more fat bogs from their herds each year. The following Is a neat sample of what is being done la Platte connty.. Messrs. Gerrard Zeigler bought $200 worth of hogs three years ago, this spring; from these, the first fall following they sold $250 worth, last' year $900, and this year a little over $1300 worth aad have left 125 pigs. This shows a little of what is being done in this line of fans enterprise. We may add to the strength of this item by giving the weights of the lot delivered here the other day to D. Anderson, dealer.. Eighty-three hogs weighed an avenge of 384 lbs. each ; 51 of the lot averaged 411 lbs; 25 averaged 457; and four of the heaviest averaged 565 lbs. each. Nebraska may well boast of her pro ductioas. Brandfs saloon on 12th st was the scene of a lively scrimmage last Fri-" day night between the proprietor and sevenl yonng men of the city engaged in the innocent and intellectual pass time of painting the town a deep red.' Mr. Brandt seemed to think the boys wen too drank to 'be agreeable company and insisted on their de parture, to which arrangement then was objection on their part. On what grounds the objection was based is not quite clear, bat possibly might have come from some sort of notion of the eternal fitness of things that if too drunk to be proper inmates of a saloon they stood a good chance of becoming still more obnoxious as occupants of the street and almost a certainty of not having proper atten tion from the police. At any rate there was a difference of opinion which was not settled until a little cotillion with clubs and billiard cues was indulged in, resulting in a broken head for the proprietor. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Anderson closed a series of temperance lectures at the skating rink last Friday even ing to a fair audience. They com menced their work here last Sunday in the interests of the prohibition cause with the understanding that their stay would be. regulated by the interest manifested by the community, and since their sojourn was prolonged to nearly one week, with a lecture every night, we must conclude that the encouragement they met was not entirely discouraging, though the audiences were generally small. As lecturers the Anderson's are all they claim to be, not pretending to par ticular brilliancy or magnetism, but certainly do seem to deserve the credit of being earnest, conscientious workers in the cause of temperance and good morals. In their short stay they made many friends among our citizens. The tramp nuisance has struck Nebraska at several points. The best cure for the malady will be found in the towns purchasing stone and set ting the vagrants to work out their fines and pay for their board. It is simply wonderful bow such a town becomes known to the fraternity, and no less marvelous the unanimity with which they shun the place and o by on the other side. The annoyance to citizens is outrageous, and the crimes that are likely to be committed by the horde of roving loafers, beggars and thieves may be prevented by towns that will make them work. Of all the things on top of the ground that which the tramp does not want to find is work for his hands, by which he might earn an honest living. Let Columbus buy some stones and try the experiment. The Council have authorized their committee Messrs. Lockner & Rickiy to improve the public squares, one near Mr. Speice's residence, the other where the Engine House is situated. The question now is with this com mittee, how much or how little to ex pend upon them. The square east is already planted to trees and seeded to grass, and is in fair condition, while the Engine House square is hardly useful, not to say ornamental in any particular. We believe the action of the Conncil will be almost universally approved, if this committee will do' its best to make the public square, in the heart of the city, a thing of beanty, until snch time, at least, as it may be demanded for business uses. The Journal does not wish to be liable to the charge of partiality in chronicling the principal events of the city, and will say in excuse for not having noticed that there was a raw at Wendell's saloon Saturday night- a week ago that the neglect was owing to the fact that a knowl edge of it did not come to the ears of our reporter ia time for mention last week. It appears to 'have been a regular monkey and parrot time of considerable dimensions, but was quite consistently confined to the precincts of the saloon. "So mote it be." Let the fighting be confined to the places where inspiration for such "hurting trouble" is dealt out. clilea'a Aralcm Salve.

Heater and his accom plished helpmeet, returned from their trip'J south last week. Mr. Heater says' he wouldn't live away down south if the entire country were given. He believes he will now be content to live a day in Nebraska or Kansas. Ed. Journal: In one of the last numbers of your valuable paper an advice was given under the heading "How to built up a town." "Talk about it," Write about it" was the instruction of your paper. With your permission we would endeavor to write something about our little towu of Duncan, which is beautifully located on the Union Pacific R. E, 100 miles west of Omaha ia the fer tile valley of the Platte river. Though we do not expect to see the said town grow 'to the size of New York or Chicago, but at least big enough to find a bottle of Perry Davis' Pain Killer for sale within its borders whet we are troubled with toothache or any other ache. A great mark of our town ho wever is the new elevator of Messrs. Jaeggi & Sehupbach- of Columbus,- the capacity of which is estimated at 10, 000 'bushels, constructed, and com pleted under the careful management of Mr. Nick Blaser, who hit all the nails-right on the head. The running of the institution is performed by the ebieftengineer, Chris. Meedel, who by the "way will buy all the grain and pay (he highest market price. Next comes the popular grain and bog-'husiness of our worthy friend Mr. t Crandall, who handles nearly twocarsa day, causing him to run with' a-speed of 114, 6 footsteps a minute. The general merchandise business of C. S. Webster's deserves special mention. He has a kind word for all his customers, and in connection with the post master, makes something, andwaits on a great number of cus tomers every day. Slow but sure. Then the dry goods and grocery establishment of Mr. Borowialc, who is a new businebs man and knows how to treat folks to satisfy them. He is now building a nico dwelling on Cleveland street Tho proprietorship of the Com mercial Hotel, is in the hands of Mr. Maler, who will please everybody in want of something in his line. The Commercial is the leading house of the-'city. Next comes the blacksmith and iron! works of Mr. Naylor, who if there was 998 blacksmiths in the state could-safely be counted for 2 to make a round thousand. Me. Schneider has also improved his extensive iron shops, turning in audi' out lots of plows and other thirtgs every day. The jewelry and watch business of Mr..cWeiBsenfluh recommends itself. The clerk in charge is always able to tell what time of day it is. S. -.'-A Itatlklaa; Skeleton. Mr. E. Springer, of Mechanicsburg, Pav writes: "I was afflicted .with lung fever and abscess on lungs, and reduced to a walking Skeleton.

Columbus, Nebr. ssTaBRTTtn. LUESCHE MUHLE LOSEKE LDESCHE On Thursday the 19th Inst., at the Lutheran church near Becker & Welch's mill, by Ber. C. Moessaer, Mr. Henry Luesebe to Miss Minnie Muhle; also Mr. Gerhard Loseke to Miss Minnie Luesche. The marriage ceremony was followed by an impressive sermon, after which the very large number of happy guests resorted to the residence of Mr. Henry Luesche, Sr., where they received a royal welcome at the hands ot Mrs. Luesche. The tables fairly groaned under the load' of good things. It was evident that Mr. and Mrs. Luesche had resolved to cele brate the marriage of two of their chil dren in the good old fashion of Father landand right well they succeeded, as ye reporter can testify. The two bride grooms Henry and Gerhard (the former the oldest son of Mr. H. Luesche and the latter a nephew of our townsman Mr. G. Schutte) are fair specimens of that sturdy, manly, honest and persevering yeomanry which is the bone and sinew of our country, that, on which our hopes for the political, social and moral good of the future are based. Their blushing brides while becoming mistresses of new firesides meet their husband's with lov ing heart) and willing hands; ready to take up life's burdens as well as to par take of its pleasures. False notions of life and its duties do not prevail among the sons and daughters of our Shell Creek pioneers. Young friends, you have chosen well. We present the best wishes of all who know you, and may God bless your union. 31. DIED.
