When we shook bands Monday
morning with our old neighbor Jacob
Ernst, be begged of us to be gentle,
and showed fresh blisters that looked
as though he bad been pitching scores
of tons of bay in the last day or two,
but he explained that he had been
rescuing fence posts from a fire that,
had it occurred at night, might have
burned up his cribs, implement house,
work shop, barn, &c. The fire origi
nated from the smouldering remains
of a burnt straw stack that was sup
posed to be dead ashes, until a strong
wind Sunday at 1 p. m. demonstrated
differently.
In Stanton county, near the town
of Madison, there is a farm consisting
of thirty-six sections that is called the
Township farm. It has, in its time,
had quite a history, as the managers
from time to time, might relate. The
last Madison Chronicle adds this
scrap :
"We have it by grapevine telephone
that one of the ranchmen on the
Township has an income of twenty
seven thousand dollars a year, and
that his wife sports a two-hundred
dollar poodle dog. The lady of the
house brought three lady friends and
the servants with her to spend the
summer. She rides in a barouche
with a liveried coachman driving a
four-in-hand, goes bunting, rides to
hounds and raises tbe bucolic envy
of the surrounding neighborhood."
Three "vagrants" were taken up
Saturday, and fined fl.00 and costs,
smounting to about 3.90, all told.
Two and a half days grading on the
streets makes a good job of work. If
it becomes generally known that the
Columbus authorities will find work
for every man that has no visible
means of support, and yet is loitering
around the town the tramp nuisauce
will be somewhat abated here. What
ever any particular tramp may be,
there is no doubt but the tribe, as a
rule, are criminals, quasi-criminals, or
liable to become such on very slight
provocation, and the most summary
remedy known to the books is, in our
opinion, icork, avobk, WORK, and
that for the good of the city pestered

Ametker Fire.
Monday morning at about 1 :45 a
fire broke out in the rear of the Do
mestic Bakery, a one-story frame
building adjoining tbe Marshall
Smith brick on tbe west, owned by
G. W. Phillips, and occupied for the
last year by Wm. Ferguson, as a
bakery, restaurant and candy store.
A few of tbe contents were saved.
No other buildings were even
scorched, except the cornice of the
brick standing alongside, damaged
perhaps two hundred dollars or so.
A light breath of air from the south
carried cinders into Hugbs's lumber
yard, and over the dwelling houses
north, going as far as Mr. Hake's, but
resulting in no damage.
Mr. Ferguson had an insurance
with two companies, amounting to
IS00, while Mr. Phillips bad none
upon the building.
The origin of the fire is not known.
The last use of a light fire was for
making yeast. Mr. Ferguson's stock
on bands, including the fixtures is
variously estimated at eight hundred
to one thousand dollars.
The firemen, as always, did their
full duty. We may remark, however,
as heretofore, that tbe city needs
better appliances for fighting fire.
This is tbe third fire in a few weeks
on 13th street, two in this block and
one across tbe street.
A horse was stolen Tuesday night
of last week from D. D. Shaff, and a
saddle from L. D. Clark. Postal
cards were sent out broadcast, and
one of these on Saturday last fell into
the hands of Cyrus D. Buck, a sturdy
farmer living about eleven miles from
Cumminsville, Wheeler county. In a
few minute? afterwards a fellow rode
up for dinner, and Mr. Buck saw that
tbe man and horse were those wanted
and took them in charge. Sheriff
Kavanaugb was notified and went up
Sunday, returning Monday, accom
panied by Mr. Buck and his prisoner,
who was landed in jail. Mr. Buck
went away well pleased with his
treatment by Clark, Shaff and the
Sheriff. We suppose, however, that
for some time to come he will remem
ber hi tussle with tbe justice of the
peace, who wished to give the fellow
a hearing, and either "bind him over"
or let him go.

B. B. Business booming.
Born. April 23d, to Mrs.
John
Timothy, a daughter.
Tbe tree man seems to be most in
demand at tbe present time.
Mr. John Spellicy has purchased a
lot in the residence part of town and
is erecting a dwelling bouse thereon.
Mr. Spellicy sees, undoubtedly, that
there is money in the investment.
Hon. J. A. Kehoe has just returned
from a business trip to Red Willow
county. He says he intends to rest
and recuperate for a few days. John
is one of our most energetic business
men.
There was a dauce at Dr. William
Edwards place about four miles from
towu that wan attended by most of
our town folks. We were not
present, but from our knowledge of
the doctor we are satisfied that it was
a pleasaut affair.
We are pleased to see the prom
inent men of Platte Center taking an
interest in the general appearauce of
the place. John Macken, John A.,
ivehoe, Charles L,. Larng, David H.
Carrig and several other gentlemen
are planting trees, and making gar
den. The A. Henry building formerly
used as a post office, is having a new
store front and other alterations
We understand that Dr. Wm. Ed
wards is about to open a drug stor
at that stand. e will be elan t
welcome tne Doctor back to his old
stand.
We, notice that Mr. John Timothv
hat received some sample desks from
'the' National School Earnishing Com
pany of Chicago. "Mr. Timothy is
agent for this company in Platte
county. He very kindly showed
vour reporter the desk. It is called
the "Paragon," and has he says many
advantages over the desks of other
makes.
The dance given by Mr. David II.
Carrig of this place was a success in
the fullest sense. The hall wa6 full
of tair ladies and gallant men, and
although the admonitory twitching
ot old wounds forbade us join in
"tbe light fantastic," we felt like re
peating the words of the poem. "On
with the dauce let joy be unconfined,
&c." We noticed while there a gen
tleman who had evidently lost his
fair partner, for he was repeating in
a whisper as he anxiously scanned
the faces of the ladies present and
peeped into every nook, "Oh ! where,
Oh ! where has she gone."
We had a pleasant visit from Com
rade Geo. W. Kibbler, on Tuesday.
George travels in the interest of the
lirm of A. & M. Turner, of ColumbuB.
He informed us that business was
pretty good, and we think that if
there is any, George will get it. He
has just sold a Domestic Sewing
Machine to Miss Mazy Carrig of this
vicinity which gives perfect satis
faction. One of the members of the
firm, Miss M. Turner, was in town
on the same day looking after the in
terests of the bouse, but we regret
that we did not have the opportunity
of paying our respects. Those young
ladies believe that "if you take care
of your business your business will
take care of you."
