Platte county has a population of 12,590, and the state 740,045. Remember that the best Fair to be held in Nebraska this year will take place at Columbus, Sept. 8, 9, 10 and 11. The railroad commissioners were to start from Omaha yesterday on an inspecting tour of the Union Pacific and branches. We bad quite a discussion in our sanctum Monday morning between two gentlemen of the city on the prohibition question. John Htiber has been engaged by the managers of the State Fair to assist in their exhibition. John has found his risbt place. John Timothy, Esq.,- dealer in school books, stationery, etc., at Platte Center is the authorized agent of the Journal at that place. 5-tf Saturday, Sept. 5th, John Brow ner will have a sale of horseo, cattle hogs, &c. at hi residence near this city. See advertisement. We are not one of those who ad vocate the drawing of strict party .lines in county or township elections. Humphrey Independent. Charles Schroeder put np a trac tion engine last week near Humph rey. It will not only do threshing, but also haul the machine over the country. Lost. Either at the Fair Grounds r between that and Columbus, a necklace belonging to Zora Morse, with Zura engraved on the clasp. Mrs. C. E. Morse. 4 We hear that one day last week while John Shannahan was mowing, his little daughter, unknown to him, was in the grass, and the mower cut off one of her feet. Clarks Messenger says that Ed ward, Bon of J. N. Dodd, had the little "finger of the left band blown off the other day by the accidental discharge of a gun. No services at the Presbyterian church next Sabbath, because of the improvements being made npon the building. It is. hoped that the house any be in readiness' for service Sun day week. John Huber has 14 grape vines, second years growth, of the Concord variety, got from Wm. Walton of Genoa. -John claims that these vines will this' year produce at least four bushels of grapes. . Ten bushels of Colfax connty apples were brought to Chase's' store last week from the farm of Mr. Cbas. Thrush. This is but another good pointer to frait growers of this conn Jtj.SchuyUr Sun. Come to the fair. We learn that the section hands will bo taken off the roads between this place, Norfolk, Albion and Cedar Ilapids, and that a construction train will do tbe business, tue section bosses being retained. You will find it to your advan tage not to buy a sewing machine uutil you have canvassed tbe merits of tbe light-running Domestic, 6old here by A. & M. Turner, only, G. W. Kibler, traveling salesman. 2 It is becoming quite fashionable for a dozen or twenty ladies to hire carriages, and, in a body, visit a neighboring town a good idea, all around; our neighbors are not only just they of our own household, town, country or even state. We are indebted to M. Barrow for a copy of tbe Deteret Netcs pub lished at Salt Lake, Utah. It gives us quite an insight into tbe state of feel ing there among tbe Latter Day Saints, with reference to what they regard as persecutions. In the contest between home steaders and the great stock ranch- mien for the occupancy and use of the public lands, the homesteaders are just now uppermost, with a likelihood of so continuing. The menless lands are yearning for the landless men. Mr. and Mrs. John Huber brought home with them from their recent eastern trip a flag bottomed chair, which in early days belonged to Mrs. Uuber's great-grand-mother, and its age is set down at 90 years. It will be on exhibition at the County Fair. There are a good many reports coming in regarding a new disease thai is causing the loss of a good many hogs in various parts of the count'. It is claimed that blood gushes from their noses and ears, when they soon die.Butler County Press. Twenty-six tubs of butter, as signed to the Creamery Company by Roberts & Jones, lessees, have been shipped to Denver, and when tbe proceeds are returned they will be divided pro rata among the farmers to whom R. & J. were indebted for cream. The farmers of Colfax county are rapidly marketing their salable hogs, fearing the approach of the hdg dis ease. Numbers of them have loBt heavily. While the disease is not universal in Colfax county, it is cer tainly very widespread and will be a seriouB drawback to stock raising. A correspondent in the Farm, Field and Stockman, gives this meth od of treatiog black leg: "Put one half pint of salt into a quart bottle, fill with water, shake well, and give about half at the first dose; in about an hour give the remaiuder, and one hour later repeat,. Tbe following day the operation should be repeated." Work is actively progressing on the J?gi & Scbupbach mill building. Tbe grounds have been cleared of rubbish and leveled, and work will now be pushed. The B. k, M. track north of the mill has been elevated two feet, and the entire track raised two feet and re-graded, which will make it reasonably free from mud during wet weather. The Edwin Clifford Dramatic Co. have engaged the Opera House Fair week, and will give our people some splendid entertainments. Tbe Clifford Co. is one of the very best that ever visited Columbus. Everything is conspiring to make a first-class holi day time during the Platte Co. Fair, and now, if the weather will be fair, it will doubtless be a grand success. M. J. Clark's public sale ou upper Shell Creek que day last week was well attended. John Huber, the auc tioneer, informs us that two year old steers sold for $35.50, cows averaged 932, and one lot of yearlings sold for 935 and the balance of the lot for 925,! yearling heifers for 924, calves 912.25, hogs as good as 94 50, shoats 93 a bead and suckling pigs 91-75 a head. An exchange fittingly remarks: "Let your boys fix op colts and take them to the fairs this fall. It will cultivate a taste in them 'for taking good care of horses, will stimulate emulation, and develop their judg ment in regard to horses. It is a good way to show the public that you have the best colts in tbe coun try, or to see who. has better. Give the boys a chance." E. A. Gerrard, as member of the state central committee for Platte county, has issued a call for a county mass convention to be held Saturday , Sept. 5tb, at the Court House, in this city, 1 p. m.-, directed to the temper ance people of Platte county who mean business, for the purpose of electing delegates to a state conven tion, and for tbe nomination of a counsFiieket WSiavJoPRXAL job department is prepareamfurnisb, on short notice, all kinds of commercial work, such as letter heads, note heads, bill heads, statements, circulars, envel opes, cards, dodgers, posters, &c; visiting, cards; lawyers' briefs; pamphlets; catalogues; sale bills, c. Satisfaction guaranteed. Orders by mail promptly attended to. Ad dress, M. K. Turner & Co., Colum bus, Nebr. tf- We are informed that there are places in this connty where cockle burrs are growing in great abundance. The farmer who permits this know ingly does not deserve, nach praise from his neighbors for neighborly good deeds. This pest is, hard to root nt after it gets a good 'start, and no an should resf'easy so long as he has any or them on hir place. It would, sees, that, owing to the fact that seeds wilt scatter, fast, -there ought to be a state law compelling iwsmjwuuj aui u raw aiure nuoie or two acres ef weed every year. Brother MacMnrphy of tbe Schuyler Sun, referring to some one's remark that a thousand years from now the only names remembered in American history will be Washing ton, Lincoln and Grant, says : "Can't say as to that, don't expect to be editing a paper then, but surely Tom Hendricks ought to last thousand years, at least" a little &. The Boone County Argus of the 21st says: "About a month ago a dog on the Whiting Bros, ranch, went mad and bit several hogs and dogs before it was killed. One dog has since been attacked with hydropho bia, and last Saturday one of the hogs bitten went mad and tried to bite everything around it, and showed un mistakable signs of hydrophobia, and was promptly killed." We are requested to announce that a meeting will be held in the High School room of tbe second ward school building, Saturday even ing next at 7 :30, for tbe purpose of organizing a literary society. All gentlemen and ladies, "old, middle aged or young, who feel an interest in such an organization, are earnestly requested to be present and help "start the ball rolling." The enterprising and progressive farmer and stock raiser, Gerhard Loseke, has recently purchased of C. H. Sheldon of Richland stock farm, the promising young short-horn, Arabella's Duke of Richland, price 9200. Mr. L. has been heading his herd with a short-horn, bred by Mc Clintock of Ky., and after seeing results, has no disposition to go back to scrubs or grades again. The Fullerton Journal says: "Mr. Means' bid for the Loup bridge was 97.23 per foot, which brings the cost of the bridge within tbe. sum voted by the precincts. Tbe struct ure will be 950 feet long and 14 feet wide, combination, 70-foot spans, with two turn-outs. Work will be com menced at an early day, and the bridge completed within ninety days from time of commencement." Sam. Mains left at the Madison Chronicle office the other day a bunch of timothy which was raised on prai rie sod and measured fifty-five inches in length. The editor says, "it has been fully demonstrated in this coun- f try that as good tame grass can be raised here as in the far-famed grass region of Kentucky, and we hope to see our farmers engage in this indus try more and more each year." Monday laBt, while sitting near bis door reading, a number of shot were showered about, one of them bitting A..F. Clark a glancing stroke on the forehead and slightly drawing blood ; another hit his little daughter on the foot, but did no serious injury. Tbe shot came from the gun of a lad who was firing at a snipe. Discharg ing firearms is so dangerous that it is forbidden within the city limits. We LOtice in the Genoa Enter prise that Miss Maggie Hcimbach is visiting old acquaintances there ; that James Pearsall put in the lowest bid for building the Methodist church; that W. E. Walton has moved into his new dwelling; that Hon. Horace R. Chase of Peoria, 111., lately ap pointed Sup't, of the Indian Indus trial School, has made Genoa a visit, and made a favorable impression upon tbe citizens. The following apportionment of the pupils of the city has been made by tbe teachers' committee of the board : Those of the first ward, to attend tbe first ward school ; those of the 2d and 3d wards eouth of 12th street, to attend the second ward school ; the remainder of tbe pupils, tbe third ward school. This would seem to be a very fair apportionment, for the best good of all concerned. The only exceptions necessary will probably be as to grades. The officers of tbe Columbus Lodge No. 148, 1. O. O.

Rice, J. S. Mur dock. A good attendance is desired next Friday (Aug. 28th.) Secretary Routspn has spread the fact far and wide that Senator Van Wyck is to speak to the immense crowd on tbe Fair Grounds, Thurs day, Sept. 10th, and all are expectant The ablest Senator Nebraska ever had, a man who, almost alone in the United States Senate, has fought for tbe people and achieved great vic tories for them, he tells what he thinks, whether it tallies with your notions or not ; those who hear him will be well repaid for the time and expense. An intellectual treat is at all times agreeable, and, if properly used, the most profitable of'all our enjoyments. John W. Sissle informs us that on August 17tb, the U. P. R. R. Co. put up a fence along their line to complete his field, and he says it is a good job. We believe that this is the first visible effect ef tbe workings of tbe railroad commission, Mr. Sissle having endeavored for a very long time .to get the Company to do what the law required. It was only a few days since that he placed his grievance with tbe commissioners, and they unanimously requested the Company to comply with tbe law. Whatever may be thought of the commission law, we believe in the "power" that gets things done. "For fbmi of goveraneat let fooli contest, West's sett aaadalsfcrsa is biU" Laaalea at tiraaa blaaa. Last week at Grand Island occurred third annual tournament of the Ne braska State Firemen's Association, which was a grand success in every particular. Our boys report having bad a glorious time at the hands of I ill A 7aAmA ! ikf m a JU luc U!U1SU BUU viinicuo ui unuiu I island, ine city was handsomely I decorated, bands were playing, tbe streets were filled with red and blue shirts, and thousands of people from all parts of the state were present to witness tbe exciting exercises. The "W. T. Biseell Hose Team" of this place, which took a prominent part in tbe races, consisted of the fol lowing persons: Wm. Dougherty, foreman, Geo. Spooner, J. C. Martin, W. B. Backus, F. Dougherty, Joe. Martin, H. Hockenberger, Julius Phillips, Don. Benson, F. Fngard, Frank Turner, Cbas. Coan, Chas. Taylor, Bob. Hemphill, Cap. Techudy Frank Preiss and Fred. Shaw. This is a comparatively new or ganization, and for the practice and experience they have bad, they did nobly, very agreeably surprising their many friends here. The Hook and Ladder Co. of Col umbus which were present and took place in the parade of Wednesday, consisted of the following persons: Jas. Pearsall, Chief of the Columbus Fire Department, Otto Huer, Fred. Mullen. Bert. Arnold, Cbas. Pearsall, Earl Pearsall, J. L. Jones, Ernest Mullen and Jesse Becher. It is stated that there were more firemen in line than at any previous meeting in the state. In tbe 46 class hose race our boys carried off the third prize, 940, time 43 2-5 seconds. In the green race they carried off the first honors, receiving 980, time 46 seconds. In the state championship hose race they made a splendid run of which the Grand Island Independent says: "Columbus No. 1, next in order, were not dilatory in getting ready, pre paring, starting, or getting there, or making the coupling, but unfortu nately tbey. too, met with an acci dentnot turning tbe coupling home by one-half turn of the nozzle. The expressions of regret were universal, as by this error, they were ruled out." The judges announced that they had made the run in 39 seconds, a run of 200 yards and laying 300 feet of hose. Upon the arrival here of the train that brought tbe boys home, they were met by the cornet band and many citizens and escorted to their hall on 13th street, where refresh ments had been provided for them. Brother Casper of the David City Press is not altogether satisfied with what he is pleased to call "Columbus interference" in their postoffice affairs, and gives Dr. Miller and his "railroad crowd" fair warning that while they may have the ear of the administra tion to the extent of working tbe post office at David City, "tbey cau't run the politics of Butler county through their influence." The Press closes its lecture with tbe following : "The success of the party this fall will not depend on who has the postoffice; nor, Miller, Boyd, North or Higgins, but on those meu in the party who value principle more than spoils," &c, &c. We think our brother across the Platte is needlessly harsh upon the democ.atic brethren here, and at Omaha. If anybody is to be Grand Almoner for Nebraska of tbe current administration (which happens to be of the mugwumpian,bourbonic order), why should it not be .that man of Oregon fame, Dr. M. L. George, tbe fierce editor of the Omaha Herald, and if he is to have an assistant almoner for central Nebraska, why certainly no man more fit can be found than James E. North, with perhaps Higgins as an advisory board. We think we have noticed all along a good deal of nervous uneasiness, a sort of restless apxiety, a kind of greedy foretaste (o to speak) on the part of the brethren all aronnd, that makes them impatient of anything in the way of delay, furious at what they call dictating interference that which seems to outsiders as tbe mere neces sary precautions of a good almoner. We hope tbe brethren will dwell to gether in more unity of spirit. PKOGKAM OF RACES Platte Ceaaty Fair, to V Held la C laathas, Scat. 8, 9, 10 ana 11, 86. FIRST DAY. 2:40 Class Purse 1200.

From present indications Platte Co. will have the very best Fair during her entire history. The management have introduced several special fea tures well calculated to call attention to the fact that everything fruitful of I a good exhibit is in readiness. Platte county never had better crops, better horses, better cattle or hogs, .better vegetables and better workmanship in all directions, and if a fair sample of these can be brought in, the outside world will be able to see what we can do when we once set ourselves at it Daughters of Platte, each of you bake a loaf of bread or make a roll of butter for the Fair; paint a picture or print a poem ; select some of the best chickens, ducks or geese of the flock, and have them brought in ; fill Floral Hall-so full that they will have to double its capacity to hold all that comes. Boys of Platte, get up a little earlier than usual, give a little extra atten tion to tbe premium cow and calf, mare and colt, curry them off good, rub them down sleek, and you bring them to the Fair. You may get the first premium or the second. If you do neither, you will doubtless have gained what will be far more valuable to you, a little insight into the differ ent breeds of animals, the particular points of difference, and the excelling qualities of each. A good philosopher has said that the right sort of men (that means boys, too), learn more by their honest failures than by their sucseeses. He probably means that when we enter tain an object for which we plan and labor, and do not fully succeed in getting all we expected, we have learned to profit by the honest mis takes we have made, and will not make so many the next time. It Is one thing to think we know, quite another, sometimes, to have a realiz ing sense of our shortcomings. Go into tbe corn field and select a dozen of tbe finest ears you can find, and if you have a variety uot known to most of your neighbors, select some of that, so that others may profit by your experience. This is the guid ing motive of the intellectual life. What makes your condition better, let it be known, to tbe end that others may be benefited. Thus the country is developed rapidly, farms become well tilled, granaries get well filled, schools flourish, the youth advance in luieuigence, ana everyDoay, even makes more money. Intellectual stimulus is what you need, and you have it, now and always, in the thought of bettering, not only your own condition but that of others. Don't allow any false notions of any body to draw you aside. The farm is the foundation upon which every other industry is built. You conduct it and yourself rightly, and you can be as independent as any in the land. Learn all you may, if you be wise and industrious, the work of the farm will give you full employment, pure enjoyment and ample recompense. You have seen, by your reading, that during the last forty years, the great world exhibits have been made, growing, as a natural result, out of the acknowledged benefits of just such county exhibits as we will have here. They give opportunity for see ing many things together, thus saving much time. So much is now done by machinery that every farmer ought to understand tbe general principles of mechanics and their application. Here you ought to find all the latest improvements in plows, barrows, seeders, planters, binders, mowers, threshers, and the thousand and one things used upon the farm. Here you can, in a very short time, at uo expense to speak of, examine all these and discuss their merits and demerits. No knowledge is worth, in dollars and cents, more than this is on the farm. Parents, encourage yourselves and children to make this one particular fair a grand, unlimited success in every way which you can imagine, and the Journal's assurance for it you will not regret that you made it a good holiday time for the family. Ed. Journal: Your correspond ent "Tax Payer" asks a very pertinent question, and one which will apply to more Townships than one, but has he ever gone to the root of the matter. When the annual Town meetings were called lor the purpose of enab ling the Towns to settle up their affairs for the past and to vote tbo levy for the expenditures of the com ing year, how many of the tax-payers were present to take part in the pro ceedings? I presume tho answer will be that not one-tenth part of them were so present. It must be evident, then, that if we have not done our part to put the right kind of men iuto office and to place proper restraints around them, under the laws, we are virtually responsible for their official misconduct, nor docs it stop here, for every Township has the right to select a committee of its citizens to conduct a prosecution in tbe courts of all its officers (on their official bonds), for malfeasance in office, and when they neglect or refuse to give an ex planation of their acts this seems to be tbe proper course, but let us re member "an ounce of preventative is better than a pound of cure," and if tbiough our own neglect we are caught napping in tbe future let us bear our burden without complaint.

Mrs. John Elliott started Saturday for a two weeks' visit at Beatrice with the families of Mr. Elliott's brother at that place. John looks as lonesome as is becoming in a man of his age and experience. G. C. Lauck has made a pre-emption entry and timber-claim, one in south western Nebraska, the other in north western Kansas. That country, he says, is being taken up very rapidly, and is excellent soil. He went to Lincoln Saturday morning, intend ing shortly to go out to bis new location. A. L. Bixby of tbe Fullerton Jour nal stopped in the city yesterday ou his way home from Minnesota, where he bad been visiting. Like all other Nebraskans who have been away, he would not exchange land in Nebraska for any be has seen. Iowa looked as though you could float a boat over a good portion of the state. W. Y.

Recent letters from Stark county, UK, state that tbe grasshoppers have damaged the small grain and new meadows pretty badly, and are now at work ou tbe corn. During the thunder storm last Wed nesday evening a colt in Mr. Shel don's pasture and belonging to P. S.

Remember and ask your grocer for Lily Corn Starch. John R. Thompson brought us this week a sample of corn raised ou his Powder Creek farm by Orson Smith, which measured 13 feet high. The ears are or mammoth siae and stand so far op on tbe stalk that if the whole field is like that brought us it will be necessary to husk it on horseback. Good enough for a storm swept censtry.
