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

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

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"

&.
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.

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.

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.

Platte Caauaty Fair.
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.
