Elder Hudson is not alone draw ing Brother Hensley's salary, but Uostetter is a "biger man" than J. G. Higgins, hence these long edito rials in the Democrat. Pure air, good water, wholesome living, and a conscience void of offence, are necessary to health. HigginB is too angry against Cleve land to enjoy good health. Larry Rossiter was in town Mon day. He thinks there is sure to be trouble growing out of affairs in Utah. Prominent Mormons are being . convicted of bigamy and sentenced to the penitentiary. Thos. Ward of Omaha and A. Scott of this place gave us a very pleasant call Thursday. Mr. Ward is looking up a locatidn to start in the knitting business, and thinks favora bly of Columbus. It seems to be settled that each county having a population of 1500 or more is. by law, entitled to elect a register of deeds this fali. How many candidates are there for this position iu Platte county ? Alex. Campbell, a blacksmith of Cedar Rapids, Boone county, is sup posed to have killed himself.

A farmer tells us he knows that concentrated lye mixed with the slops given to hogs is a good preven tive against the so-called hog cholera. If it is a sure thing, we would sug gest the propriety of ueing it, but not too strong. The Junior band has bad several preliminary meetings. Geo. Smith is president, CbaB. Coan, treasurer, and ChaB. Pearsall, secretary. Ten is the present number of the association, which is to be a solid one. Tho Cor net Band will give instructions free.

Satisfaction guaranteed. Orders by mail promptly attended to. Ad dress, M. K. Turner & Co., Colum bus, Nebr. tf The Democrat is more than usually concerned this week about the post-office. It seems to have been agreed upon among the Dem ocratic leaders here that W. N. HenBley, lately one of the proprietors of the Democrat, was to have the post mastership. Is it possible that this "bird in the bush" had anything to do with the dissolution of partnership between Higgins & Hensley, and that Hen6ley now wants the "bird iu hand?" Mr. Hudson is giving most excellent satisfaction as a postmaster. A young woman who gave her name as Star Fountain committed suicide at the Clother House the first of last week, by taking laudanum. She was about eighteen years old, represented that she had no friends in the world, bad lived near Omaha but had lately lost her mother. At the poet office, in inquiring for letters, she gave a different name. .Papers found on her person might lead to the supposition that her real name was Lizzie Briely. The verdict of the coroner's jury was in accordance with these facts. PentnaL W. A. Clark has returned from St. Louis. C J. Garlow has returned from his eastern trip.

Small of Norfolk ar rived in the city- Friday last on a visit to friends here. Carl McKinnie, of St. Joseph, Mo., went to Kalamazoo Monday to visit his uncle E. D. Jenkins. Miss Lottie Metz has returned from school at New York City, and is with her sister, Mrs. Henry Hockenberger. Louis Kramer and family have re moved to Columbus, and are occupy ing the late residence of L. Gerrard. C. M. Waldron returned last week from Iowa where he had been on a mixed visit of pleasure and business. Ed. Smith, of Kramer's store, started Saturday evening last for his old home, Chicago, where he will visit for two or three weeks. Miss Anna Luth on Friday last closed a very successful three months term of school in the Monroe district and returned to her home in this city. Rev. J. Q. A. Flebarty passed through this city yesterday on his way to St. Edwards, where the M. E. District Conference was to conyene last evening. C. G. Hickok, Mrs. Pickett and Fred.

A squib in the Schuyler Herald is to the effect that a successful far mer living near the western line of Coltax remarked recently that Schuy ler was a better place to trade than Columbus, and that he had induced many of his neighbors who were in the habit of going to Columbus, to come to Schuyler, and that a trial convinces them he is right. We have no wish to detract a particle from Schuyler dealer;, but it stands to reason, in the very nature of things, that there is a linch-piu loose some where in this matter. Columbus has three railroads by which she can re ceive goods from the east, and there fore has an advantage in freights, to begin with; she has more dealers, giving consumers a lively competi tion which always cheapens goods ; besides, Columbus has more custo mers, and consequently merchants and dealers can turn the nimble dollar oftener in the year and can afford to sell cheaper at each turn than where there are not so many turns. We say, with all due deference to Schuy ler and her enterprising business men, that Columbus has discounted, can and will discount them on prices. We suggest, however, that it will cot be out of place for Columbus dealers to look after the fringes of their busi ness garment, the borders of the land, and more especially that place where the shekels go east to Schuyler and west to ColumbuB. PUBLIC CATTLE SALE. Cat this Oat Cat It Oat. 70 head of fashionably-bred, short horn cattle, Bates topped on Booth foundations, 53 being cowe bred to Mazurka Bull, will be sold at Lincoln, August 6tb, at 1 p. m.

MuiB; Independence, Mo., Auctioneers. Haaaaarey. We bavo two church buildings, three preachers and two good schools. One enterprise is particularly need ed now, that is a steam flouring mill. Crops are, according to oldest set tlers, never as good and people gen erally are happy. Supervisors Terwilliger of Gran ville, Braun of Humphrey, and Schnre of Burrows, were in town Satorday last. About people we will say we have no idle men here. Business of all kinds is good ; we hear no one com plain but the doctors about quiet times and we are glad to hear them talk it. Politics ( ?) well, we have nothing but one post office to quarrel over anyhow and we will probably soon place our side of our chance with Judge Higgins as he is not afraid but will raise h elp if necessary. Some time if any of you want to start any business in a live town will invite you here. Columbus as well as Madison are trying the branch office business, but I tell you, boys, if you want to thrive come wholly and put your shoulder to the wheel and help to build up substantial business houses. Quite a serious accident happened on the base ball gronnd Saturday afternoon. There was beiug played a match game and in the first inning Charles Hinman was struck with the ball in the side near the left lung and heart. He was taken to the office of Dr. F. H. Geer in an unconscious state, who applied restoratives and after about two hours was restored. At last accouuts, however, he was doing as well as could be expected. To the readers of the Journal it has been some time since yon have been burdened or blessed, as you please to call it, with a letter from Humphrey; will make no apology, but will inform you we are neither dead or Bleeping, but are filled with progress and business. Since our last letter we have seen added to our bus iness the new store of Clark & Tate well stocked with first-class grocer ies ; one shoe store ; Dr. Geer has put up a building on main street. One- half is used by himself and one-half by the collecting firm of Cookinghara & Bender; a barber shop; a restau rant, where you can get meals at all hours. We also have competition in the hog and cattle business Mr. Hen ry Lemmer is buying; a jewelrj tore has also been added, also a photo grapher, Mr. Willie Eimers presid ing; a tailor shop to be opened this week ; the elevator here is to be en larged and fitted up to be ready to gather in the largest harvest of grain that thi6 part of Platte county ever harvested. Aug. Lockner ha9 been fitting up two buildings for a man by the name ot Lee from Schuyler; he will open up a saloon in a few days. Mr. Newell South is having a -large store room built, Louis Scbroederis doing the carpenter work. C. D. Murphy has bis office nearly finished and among our residences that have been put up ibis summer will mention only a few of them. Mr. Wm. Eimers has built a very expensive dwelling ; M. C. Bloedorn, Philip Bender, Louis Schroeder, Henry Eimers, Ira Brig gle, Mr. Zimmerman, J. I. Robison and others. In fact, readers, you will see we have nearly twice as large a town as we bad last year. C. Platte Crater Iteaaa. Brick to the right of us, brick to the left of us rally's aud thunders. The building occupied by Messrs. Ualleu & Bryne is getting a brick foundation. - George N. Hopkins, Esq., our wor thy townsman, we regret to say, is laid up temporarily with a severe cold. Daniel Regan, son of John Regan, has been seriously ill since the 16th. caused by injuries received on the Fourth of July. Rumor says that the new building in course of erection by A. Henry will be occupied by the firm of Carrig & Lynch as the store now used by them is not large enough for their in creasing business. A. Henry has had the building (uow occupied as a drug store) moved nearer the creek and the fonndation of a large store laid ; the brick-layers are now at work ou it. It is to be a double store 31x65. A serious accident occurred on our streets Tuesday evening of last week. I. O. Smith, who lives about a mile out of town, was thrown down while trying to hold bis team and run over by the wagon. Dr. Mead of this place was promptly in attendance ; at last accounts the injured man was im proving slowly. Our sanctum was honored on' Thursday of last week by the presence of our old friend Mr. O' Poole, who lives near Humphrey. The gentle man feels highly elated at the pros pect of the farmers this year. He also related an incideut that trans pired in Humphrey a few days ago that reflects but little credit on one of the parties, a Mr. Lemmar, a business man of that place. It seems that be staked his horse against another one belonging to our informant on the relative weight of the animals ; having lost the horse, Mr. Lemmar gave it into the charge of the winner who tied the horse ootBide while be "set them up" for the crowd. The loser, thinking that bis opportunity had arrived and not being troubled by the code of honor, elipped off with the horse and refused to give it up al though he was called on by all that was high and holy to do so. Com ment on the above is unnecessary, still we would advise those who deal with Lemmar not to "set them up." T. 9Iaree Ite: Miss Lilly Pugsley of Genoa is visiting friends in this neighborhood. The school at Okay, taught by Miss Eva Morgan, closed last week, with an exhibition creditable to both teacher and pupils. That good looking bachelor, Mr. Sipple, so often mentioned in the Democrat, is spending the summer with Mr. Hyat. N. B. This infor mation is for the benefit of the ladies. We understand that Isaiah Leightner has turned his back upon our nation's pets, and henceforth will devote his time to private business. Mr. Light ner owns one or the finest farms in the county, which he has been im proving during the past year, with beautiful and commodious buildings. Wc notice that advantage is being taken of the act increasing the weight of first-class mail matter after July 1st, for on the 11th a boy weighing eight pounds arrived at President post-office, and, as it was clearly a violation of the law to pass male matter of such weight, it was de tained and is there yet, pending an appeal ta the post-office inspector. "Turn the rascals out." T. DX. Pales tlae. It is very hot and dry, and vegeta tion 1s suffering for rain. CProf.JZ. C. Rush will preach at the school-house on the 26th of July in stead of the 20th, as stated in the Journal of this week. Mr. P. G. Jones and Mr. Andrew Larson are having wells bored on their places, and Mr. Joseph Baker will have one bored next week. Married, at the Danish Lutheran church, July 12, by Rev. K. Bradholt of Marquette, Neb., Mr. Marten Christensen to Miss Anna Metta Jensen. Messrs. Robert and Will Gillespie are having a new house built 16x24 and a corn crib 14x20. The lumber was shipped from near Galena, 111. Mr. Nels Berlin is doing the work. Mr. Cornelius Koch has moved into bis new house, thereby leaving another deserted abode a sod house will soon be as great a curiosity to Nebraskans as it is now to eastern people. Dank. orresponfrence. In this department the people talk, and not the editor. Each writer must hold himself ready to defend his principles and his statements of facts. "In the mul titude of counsel there is wisdom." Ed. Journal. idoat QaerieM far the Board of AapervlHorfi. On the 9th of June, the board of supervisors resolved that the road ovorseer (of Columbus township, sup posed) be instructed to open the Col umbus and Genoa road on the line as originally located, and in the course of the day the board, on motion, re considered this action and resolved that all proceedings be withdrawn. Will they please inform us what now light bad dawned upon them that they should thus virtually connive at the violation of law. More than six weeks have elapsed since the first meeting of the board and a second meeting has been held, and yet we have not seen all the published proceedings of the first meeting. If the public is to be bene fitted by such publication, and the board is not responsible for the fail ure, why is it thus; unpalatable news homeopathically administered may be slower in its effects than to know the worst from the start, yet in the latter case we are better able to apply the remedy. I regret to be obliged thus to crit icize the action of the board, but we are told that "Open enemies are better than secret friends," and If township organization has any friends in the board why do they not prove by their works that their faith iu it is a Jiving reality? Erratum. In the second question of my la-it I am made to say locate for vacate but the principle involved is the same in either case. A Citizen.
