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

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.
