The chief qualification for a teacher is ability to govern, after that scholarship is essen tial, but secondary. The Nebraska Farmer believes thai the way to settle the corn ques tion is to raise less of it ; turn the corn fields info blue grass and white clover j pasture, and thus produce grass-fat pork and beef at a cost of to 2 cts. a pound instead of 3 to 5 cts. as with corn.

We have left just this space to pay that a company has been organ ized -with a capital of $36,000, whose business it will be to build houses in thc city, wherever they think it will pay them to do so. The first build ing to be erected will be begun im mediately on the site recently occu pied by the Marble Shop. On the morning of the Fourth, while Mr. Overhols was fording the Platte river with wagon and team and three loose' horses, one of the horses of the team stepped into a deep ho'e, and the other horses crowded round so that for a time it looked pretty dubious for the whole crowd. Three horses were drowned, and Mr. O. came near losing his little boy. Quite a novelty attracted atten tion Monday at Ragatz's store. A fish about five inches long, three pro jections for gills, a web fin all along the spine, four legs, the forward ones "with four: toes each, the hind ones, five toes each. This specimen of the finny tribe was caught in a pond near the Loup, and one of our fishermen pronounces it a species of the Ger man carp. The 'Fish Commission would doubtless boa good institution if con ducted properly. For some reason or other (may be the cases are excep tional), the fish sent here for planting in creeks and ponds, have not been up to the mark in one lot of a thousand ail but two were dead. Probably they ought to be kept at the hatchery until they are larger, aud in better trim tor shipment. Probably more hog pastures have been prepared in Nebraska this season than in all former years combined. The hog pays bis master well, if the master will take good caro of him. Good pasture, pure water, cleanly Bleeping quarters and some change of feed we believe will be found to pay big, more especially now, when this section of Nebraska is threatened with ''hog cholera," so-called. Our Hose Cart laddies went to North Bend to take part in the con test on the Fourth. They made their run of 300 yards in 44 seconds, but didn't lay the hose because a strap broke. Fremont made the run in 4Gj seconds, but their hose was short one foot. North Bend jogged over the track in 74 seconds winning the prize. One of the Columbus men, however, J. C. Martin, Esq., won a foot race, 100 yards in 11?4' seconds. The McCormick new "Light Steel Harvester and Binder" is mak ing all tho other companies very sick, aud they are trying to stop the big demand by crying "it's geared in front," "galls horses' necks" and all such stuff'. The ouly necks it has galled are the necks of the discour aged agents who don't handle the grand old McCormick. We give all "smart Aleck" agents notice herewith, that they will have to be "geared in front and behind too" if they get away with the McCormick. Wer tnuth & Bcettcher. 1 We don't know as it is proper for us to mention the matter, but it seems to us that, iu the opinion of the pow ers that be, there must have been a terrible dearth of material in northern Nebraska suitable for the lately ap pointed railway commission. West Point JfepubJican. Just why the Republican should thus speak of our townsman, Mr. Cowdery, we are uol able to imagine. We have no faith that the law under which the commissioners are acting will be of any very great benefit to the people of Nebraska, but we do believe that Mr. Cowdery will fill the functions of the office creditably to himself. This community was shocked Friday la6t by the report, through a letter to Postmaster Hudson, of the death of I. J. Slattery, formerly of this place. On the day of his death his family were near O'Neill on their way to greet him at their new home. The stricken family will have the heart-felt sympathy of all their friends and acquaintances here in their time of sore -affliction. Many of Mr. Slat tery's friends here were loth to credit the first report of his death because no word bad been received here from his tent-mate, or from his old townsmen, Mr. Bunton and Mr. Long shore, but tho Dawes Coanty Journal published at Chadron, the last issue of which was received here yesterday morning, shuts ont further hope that the report was somehow untrue. Mr. Slattery possessed many noble quali ties that endeared him to a large circle of acquaintances; who will cherish -bis memory ae that of one among men who was faithful to every trust reposed in him. PcnwiaL Y. T. Price, of Albion, epent the Fourth in Columbus. J. B. Ueintz of St Edwards spent the'Fourth in Colombus. W. B. Backus returned last week from his visit to Pennsylvania. E. Taylor of Abilene, Kans., has been on a visit to John W. Sissle, near this city. Mrs. Hulst and Miss Chase of Omaha are visiting with G. W. Hn'st's family. Dr. Runner has returned from a few days visit to his father, also a doctor, at Nebraska City. Geo. Y. Hines, an. old citizen of Columbus, now of Omaha, was in the city on the Fourth. Carl Wermuth of Omaha spent the Fourth in Columbus, shaking hands with his many friends here. A. B. Dewey, Esq., one of Chicago's wide-awake young business men, was in the city several days last week. Mr. Henry Plumb, of Illinois, is visiting with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Plumb, east of the city. C. M. O'Brien, a former Columbus boy, now traveling in the interest of J. J. Brown & Co., Omaha, was in the city on the Fourth. . Chas. E. Rickly, of Ruihville, Neb., arrived in town yesterday looking hale and hearty. He reports the northwest conntry as flourishing and settling up very rapidly. Sam. Wise, a former Columbus boy, now engineer on the Missouri Pacific R. R. with a run of 100 miles west from Atchison, was in town several days last week and visiting his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. John Wise of Sherman township. Mr. Drake of Creston returned Wednesday last from a trip to New York, accompanied from Chicago by Miss Ida Scudder. He made the trip between New York and Chicago in 27 hours. He says that on his road east through Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Canada he saw no growing crops equal to Nebraska. E. L. Morse returned Wednesday last from California, where he has been several months. He tells us that agricultural products will be about a half crop, while fruit is a good yield, but distance from market and heavy railroad freight rates make the price there nominal. California seems to be settling up rapidly but thousands of men are out of employment. MED. At Chadron, Nebr., June 29th, '85, aged 49 years, I. J. Slattery, of cholera morbus. The deceased was a builder by occupation and was born in the eastern states. He served four years in I he late war, was honorably dis charged, and settled 13 years ago at Columbus, Platte county, Nebr. He came to Chadron in the early Bpring of 1SS5 where he located a tree claim and a pre-emption, and sent for his family, consisting of a wife aud four children, who are now en-route for the White River valley unaware of the sad tidings awaiting them. Deceased was highly respected as a man of exemplary character, noble impulses, kind, generous aud temper ate. He was an affectionate husband and father. He was a high and honorable free and accepted Mason, and the last hours of his life were passed under their fostering care. He was buried on his claim, on the banks of the Dead-horse, with all the interest, care, and attention, that the craft could bestow upon a brother and fellow, amidst the rude scenes of the extreme frontier. Chadron Journal, July 2d. vi. r . nuisi, wnii ins Luuiucr nnu j niece were on the train Friday night last, wbeu it was wrecked at Mercer station. An empty stock car had been blown by the wind from a side track, and the passenger train struck it with such force as to knock it sixty feet away. The engine and a fruit car were ditched ou one side, and one mail, one express and two baggage cars on the other, the engine being smashed to pieces. There were twelve cars, in all, in the passenger train, and Mr. Hulet says the air brakes did excellent service, the train stopping in a distance its own length. A tramp who was stealing a ride on the front of a mail car was mashed to death, and the engineer, Jo. Hays, badly hurt. He is the engineer who was iu the accident several years ago, when the fish were spilled into the Elkhoru. Court ProceealagN. District Court convened Monday, Judge Post presiding.

J. Williams the pro prietor intends to run it in connectio'n with his machinery business. The work on the new Methodist church is progressing finely. We are glad to see that ; some one with energy enough to carry it through has taken the matter in hand. It has been a. "blot on the picture" tor some time. We are informed that Mrs. O'Brien living about two and a half miles from town, was taken suddenly ill last Friday. Dr. Mead of this place was in attendance and we are glad to learn that she is recovering rapidly. The cause before his honor, Geo. N.

We are told that our horses are the swiftest, our ball players the best, our men the bravest and our ladies the fairest in the county. Hurrah for Platte Center. We learn that a gentleman from Lincoln (we suppose that is where all the rich men come from) was here on the Fourth looking up a location for the banking business. Our in formant stated that the gentleman was very well satisfied with the pros pects of this place, and intended to locate immediately. It would be the one thing most needful just now, and next to that or in connection with it we should take steps to incorporate the village. Let some prominent man who has a wish for the future prosperity of the town set the ball rolling. His motives may be misin terpreted at first, but eventually he will be thanked for it, and bis good work appreciated. T. Crest Brevities. Fred.

He has run in to dry dock for repairs, but thluks he will be cruising about again in a few days. Creston is being honored this sum mer with visitors from the east. We are glad to see them especially those who have delighted in making fun of Nebraska in the past. They all ex press a great deal of surprise at the thrift and enterprise manifested by our citizeus, the forwardness of the crops, the beautiful scenery and in vigorating atmosphere. We are glad to have them come. We extend the right hand of friendship and bid them welcome to the land of grasshoppers and cyclones ( ?) II. Mammary f the ProceeuiaK of Me iMara at NapervlMar.
