Tho Columbus brethren are fortunate in having so good a man as pastor. Fremont Tribune. Will. B. Dale was at work last week on a very neat map of the city of Columbus, with all the additions, copied from the one recently gotten up by John Routson ; it is a creditable piece of work and will ornament the walls of the county clerk's office. Fairmont, Nebraska, is shortly to vote on a proposition to bond the vil lage in the 6um of $10,000 to provide a system of water works. A building association has also been organized in the place, and a large number of bus iness and dwelling houses are pro jected. A company to provide water works and electric light for Colum bus has been organized, the following-named gentlemen being the incor porators: Leander Gerrard, J. P. Becker, J. R. Meagher, John Stauffer and C. E. Morse. So we learn just as we close our columns. Fifteen years in the penitentiary is the penalty affixed by law for re moving mortgaged property out of the county where mortgaged, with out the consent of the owner; the same penalty for mortgaging property a second time aud concealing the fact that a first mortgage is alive. Charles Chamberlain, alias J. E. Aldrich, alias Chandler, who stole Mr. ShafFs horse, was sentenced yes terday at 11 :30 to state's prison for five years. The grand jury that pre sented the iudictment was empanelled at 10:15. This looks like business, and Judge Post's court deserves com mendation for duty well done.

Two of these lots are diagonally opposite the Con gregational church, the other two across the alley south of the first two. Tracks from both tho U. P. and A. & N. run along side, making it a very good location. The statutes of Nebraska draw the line at drunkenness; under them, a man (with his senses about him and not an habitual drunkard) has a right to drink intoxicating liquor, but he has no legal right to become intoxi cated if he does, he is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment. Mr. Small gives up his position with Storey Bros, to accept a more lucrativo one at the U. P depot on the 1st. He was for several years in the employ of the company at Colum bus, and one of the first acts of Agent Henderson on arriving here was to ask Mr. Snull's appointment to a position under hlm2VojbW; News. -?A letter received at this office from Sharpsville, Pa., referring us to No. 396 of the Police Gazette for a picture of one Edward Shell, whom Kittie A.

Turner & Co., Colum bus, Nebr. tf The David City Tribune gives particulars of a row at a wedding which resulted in an old man's skull being fractured in two places, so that he will probably die. Frank Zerma is his name, and he purchased his several kegs of beer at Schuyler. The blows were struck with a beer glass. Later information is that Mr. Zerma has since died from the effects of his injury. Some of the parties are in jail at David City. An Iowa farmer got angry the other day because bo many of his hogs were dying by cholera, and, concluding to waste no more corn on them, called the live ones together, cut up the dead ones, and began feeding the j:ar8jie?t(hHiving. He has not had a deatnfflTW draws no iuference, but quotes the old saying, "a hair of the hound is good for the wound." Perhaps it would bo more reasonable to say that a change of feed was needed. C. W. Falbitzer, of Niles, Ohio. renewing his subscription, writes: "I am getting so used to the Jourkal that I dou't want to miss a single copy." He adds other words of cheer, too private and confidential like for even the Journal readers to hear. We may say, however, that so long as newspaper proprietors are encourag ed to their duty by the appreciation of good men, as well as their own sense of right, newspapers will pretty closely represent the desires of the people. The Bishop of Nebraska visited Grace Parish of this city on Thurs day April 30th, '85. He was a guest of the Rector and of the Grand Pacific. The services consisted of the full order of evening prayer, sermon and confirmation of one candidate. The Bishop preached from the words, "Looking unto Jeos," Heb. 12:2. The sermon was effective, and the subject was presented in a very able as well as pleasing manner. The Rector, Rev. Dr. Goodale, read the lessons, the Bishop having taken the remaining parts of the service, con cluding with the benediction. There was a very appreciative congregation present, and the visitation has en couraged the parishioners who were present. Much good we trust will result from the earnest words and work of this worthy prelate. The prayers of the church in this diocese are ascending daily for the promo tion of vital religion and exemplary Christianity. B. On Monday .Jacob Lewis had removed a very large fatty tumor from his back. To the non-profes sional eye it was quite a curiosity. It was about the size of a five-cent loaf of bread (to speak accurately) and weighed four pounds. Such a fearful looking human excresence no man need banker after, to carry about with him, to lean up against when sitting down on a chair, or to lie down on when he wants to Bleep. Jacob had been carrying the thing for about twenty-four years, but lat terly it bad been growing so rapidly that he concluded to have it off, and, making use of Dr. Evans's profes sional skill, he now lives and moves without bis " pet." The triumphs of modern surgery are truly wonderful. If one of the ancient professionals who "fell to sleep" centuries gone, could have wakened up and seen that patient, under the control of an anaesthetic, unconscious, with the knife of the surgeon skillfully mean dering here and there, and, in a few moments removing the growth of years, and then see how the patient wakens and realizes what has been done with him and for him, the old practitioner would certainly think that he bad seen some god-doctor 1 doing duty. Tfce UsmI Occarreace-Axd the Qaestiom is Wkat Next V About nine o'clock .Sunday evening a shed used as a coal house, in the rear of G. Heitkeraper's jewelry store was noticed to be on fire, the blaze ascending seemingly fifteen feet above the Journal building, (a two-story structure) to those who saw it from a northerly direction. Alarm was thoroughly given, and in a few mo ments there was a large crowd of men gathered in the alley, and in a very short time thereafter, the flames were put out. The shed was about ten feet high not far from the alley, the roof pro jecting from the side of Oehlrich's flour-room, In the rear of the grocery. It was used for storing coal, kindling, and had in it also a barrel of coal oil. It had been recently cleaned, and contained nothing else. The coal oil was put in last week, and but two gallons had been taken out of it. The premises are shut off from the alley by a close board fence, the only openings being a gate-way, and a coal-hole, the latter 18x24 inches. The gate had been cloMd In the evening, and fastened on the inside. The evidences of incendiarism are pretty clear in this case, and it iB now generally believed that all the recent fires, that of the Freston building, then Condon and White, afterwards the Ulnk and warehouse, following still the Walter Phillips building aud now this attempt, have been the work of some scoundrel or crank, who, it caught, will not, probably, be allowed to pollute the air for any very great length of time. In the other cases, while the grounds for suspicion were strong there was no positive evidence, but in this, it is hardly possible to believe in anything but incendiarism. In clearing up the debris of the fire Monday straw was noticed, aud Mr. Heitkeraper's folks are very positive that they left no straw in the place ; the gate that was fastened was found opened about a foot, by one of Mr. H's. boys at the first appearauce of the fire ; a girl employe was out about five miuutes before the blaze flashed up and noticed nothing in the way of smoke or fire ; a short time after the alarm of fire was given, a man was seen by Mrs. Wm. Graves going be tween Dr. Evans's barn and the Graves Hotel, where there was a large and long pile of manure, with consid erable dry hay on top of it ; the man had in his hand what looked like a cigar but larger, and lit at one end, was stooping down and evidently trying to set fire to the pile, over which he was walking instead of going on a path at cither side. Mrs. Graves followed him up a little, until he hastened his steps and got away in in the darkness. Two citizens stand ing at Ernst's corner just before any alarm of fire was given at all, noticed a man run swiftly by from the south northward to the railroad track, and then eastward along the track. One of them remarked that the police must be after the man or he wouldn't be running so fast. Iu a moment i-Xter-wards the-iire was noticed. It seems high time now that some very effective measures be taken to protect the city, and that something be done immediately in the way of precaution against this persecution by fire. The blaze of Sunday evening did only about $25 damage to Oehlrich Bros., but it was in just such a loca tion as would be selected to take a very largeortion of the business houses of thetown, which would un doubtedly have been the case had the fire been set about midnight. Brother Graves of the Neligh Advocate, an active fireman for years, recognizes the difficulty of fighting fire with unequal facilities, and sug gests to the citizens of Neligh that they put up large cisterns, get a hand engine and a hook and ladder truck, purchase either a Babcock or Cham pion Fire Extinguisher, or what is better, build an immense reservoir on the bluff north of their town, keep it filled either from a system of wells near it, or by a Pangburn steam pump at the river. After a water supply is obtained, then it can be con ducted down through the streets in iron pipes, with hydrants located at each street corner. "In case of a fire attach hose to the hydrants, aud th pressure of the water will force a half dozen streams higher than any buildings that will ever be erected in Neligh. Wisner put in a similar sys tem of water works last year at an expense of less than $5,000." The Advocate proceeds to say that it would be the best investment the town could make because it wonld make them almost entirely safe from fires and would greatly lower the rates of insurance. A like principle applies to every town in the state. We were pleased to greet Mr. G. S. Truman in town on Friday. This iB his first outing since his narrow escape from death by fire previously mentioned. His facn has nearly re covered from the severe cooking, but not so the hands, as it will be many months before they can possibly beal. The thick dead skin must slough off entirely and then new skin grow on. This will take many painful days and nights to accomplish, but as Mr. T. is a man of general good health and as his system is not poisoned from the effects of any pernicious habits recov ery will as speedily follow in his case as it is possible to expect.

McClure of Holt county, passed through the city Saturday last with some fat cattle that ho was taking to market. Thomas Tomasin returned home Saturday last, more In Iqve with Nebraska than ever before. He thinks now there is no place equal to Nebraska. Nathan Jones (eon of Barclay Jones, deceased) was in town Satur day. He thinks of starting a harness shop here. Ho is a splendid work man in that line. Rev. Father Flood, who returned last week to Omaha from his visit here, has not been enjoying his usual health since bis return. While here he "caught a cold." E. B. Hall, Esq., was in town Fri day. Ho has been home from his trip to Maryland about two weeks. He says that in his old state, tho rich are getting richer, and the poor poorer, a!l the while. Thomas Dougherty, father of "Bill" and Frank, returned to the city Fri day last from Vermont. He says they had four months sleighing there this winter, and that teams were still cross ing the lake on the ice. Out here we are sprinkling the streets. J. E. Dinneen returned last Tues day night from Chicago, where he had been with some fat cattle. These journeys of Nebraska farmer gentle men to tho metropolis of the great, growing west, with the valuable sur plus products of their farms, are producing rich results upon the conn try once called the Great American Desert. J. S. Murdock returned Friday from the east, where he has been on a visit for several days. He was as far north as Vermont, and says that the weather there was cold excepting one day last week when the ther mometer reached 92, but it was the only warm day of the season. He gives a good many interesting facts concerning eastern matters among others that enterprising young men can not be "kept at home, the spirit of western enterprise has found them, and they will not rest until they have at least seen the west. It isn't always that there are even rumors of railroads, and newspapers, always alive to the interests of their communities, say what they can to keep things moving. If talk alone would build railroads there would doubtless be several Hues constructed this summer, iu Nebraska. We pub lish elsewhere a paragraph from one of our exchanges in regard to tho construction of a line from Fullerton to North Platte. It is rumored that this will bo done and that through trains will be run over the same, at a saving, in time, of an hour and tweuty minutes, or such a matter. We are not prepared to say whether there is really auy foundation for this rumor, but give it as we get it. Wo can sco how it might be a desirable line, in several respects, and believe it would be advantageous to Colum bus. It is generally understood that the Union Pacific are desirous uow to have all their ground in the city for their own use, and would like to have more than than they own now, and it is presumed that an extensive pas senger depot and other improvements arc contemplated. a"iijM.:it3 Say So. f-X!rrr W.

The bridsnnir 01 the White river at thiri place is now complete. The firm of Glover & Brower will engage in a general banking business in Cbadrou very soon under the title of Dawes County Bank. A gentleman in the upper Niobrara country has discovered what he thinks to be coal veins of paying quantity iu that region. He has sent specimens to Denver for analysis. The report has reached us coming from railroad men that the B. & M. has let an eightymilo grading con tract for an extension from Grand Island to the northwest. The railroad surveying party, undor tho leadership of Andrews, have been camped on the river opposite town this week. They have been fixing the final lines here, and will soon pull out on the survey to Ft. Fetterman. It is now given out that preparations are being made for letting a further grading contract to tho west of 85 miles work to be done this fall. The road would be then within about forty miles of Fetterman and nearly or quite into tbe coal fields. v A Walking Skeleton. "Mr.JjTSpringpr, 0f Mechauicsburg, Pa.
