The Fair.
At this writing, Tuesday noon,
Sept. 8, the weather does not look
very favorable for a fair. Neverthe
less Secretary Routson has been busy
all forenoon making entries, and if
the sky should clear soon, the exhibi
tion may be a 'decided success. If the
sun shines out, tbe fair will be con
tinued to Saturday.
The beer garden is now defunct
and the matter assumes a different
aspect. Dr. Schwenk claims that he
was not interested in the garden, and
sues A. N. Yost, I. G. Westervelt and
C. S. Hayes, the sub-committee who
presented the request recently pub
lished in tbe News, for libel, alleging
damages to the extent of $10,000.

Every dead beat, (shows includ
ed), are sure to nip the printer, along
with other portions of the confiding
pnblic. It looks sometimes as though
the only possible way to do business
without lossis for "spot" cash, but
tbe man who should adopt that as an
inviolable role would do but little
business in this country.
At the Council meeting Saturday
evening, a nnmber of bills were allow
ed, and the Fire Committee, consist
ing of Lockner, Rickly and North
directed to make a canvass of citizens
to ascertain the probability of carry
ing any proposition for fire works.
A meeting of tbe Council takes place
next Saturday week for the special
purpose of discussing the situation of
the city as to protection against fire.
The circus advertised for Colum
bus was unfortunate, it seems, at
Sioux City. The Norfolk News says
that tbe troupe disbanded there, the
menagerie going into the hands of a
receiver at that place. "The suit
against tho show was brought by
Miles Orton, who claims that the bill
of sale he had given for the property
was not valid, being given to secure
a debt of $6,000, part of which has
been paid."
We print elsewhere the proceed
ings of the convention of Saturday
last at tbe Court House. It is tbe
first political convention in Platte
county this campaign, and opens the
ball. We learn that there were thir
teen persons present at the conven
tion, representing different portions
of the county. We are not informed
as to tbe strength of the prohibition
party in this county, but that it is
significant cannot be gainsaid, and the
resolutions as passed express the doc
trine in the strongest terms. Many
ardent democrats, as well as republi
cans, the country over, have for years
endeavored to separate the liquor
problem from party politics, and set
tle it upon the broad basis of the en
lightenment of the people. This, it
seems, does not satisfy this element,
and they purpose to organize a dis
tinctive political party on this one
issue. Of this we shall have occasion
to speak, at length, another time.
In a recent number of tbe Jour
nal was a paragraph concerning that
fearful nuisance on many farms in
eastern Nebraska and elsewhere, the
dreaded cuckle-burr. One of. our
farmer friends (so it seems by a note
directed to tbe writer of this), dis
claims any intention- on his part to
injure his neighbors ;. says be did not
know the characteristics of tbe weed
when it first appeared on his place;
declares he has been fighting it vigor
ously right along, and believes that
he deserves the sympathy rather than
the censure of his neighbors. We
think so too. Our friend seems alto
gether to have mistaken the intent of
the paragraph in question. It was,
by no 'means, intended to ap'ply to
any one individual man, because no
one man among the subscribers and
readers of thjs paper has a monopoly
of the cackle-burr. We know of sev
eral neighborhoods . pestered with
them, and, for all we know, may have
too many of then) on onr own farm.
If we have, the same remarks would
be as applicable to ourselves as any.
The members of the literary,
association had a very pleasant and
profitable meeting last Saturday even
ing at the high school room, not
withstanding the rain. After the
adoption of the constitution and
electlon'of officers, the program was
called, and those present responded
in excellent manner for a starting
exercise. Tbe question for discussion,
(which, by the way, is continued for
the next meeting) was one of interest,
at present, "Is it a sound political
maxim, to tbe victors oelong the
spoils?" and the disputants acquitted
themselves handsomely. The con
stitution provides that any person of
good moral character and not under
fourteen years of age may become a
naember, and all are ' cordially,
earnestly invited to become members.
The name of the. association ir Co
lumbus Lyceum, the next meeting
will be at the same place, but .on
Friday evening. Quite a number of
talented ladies and gentlemen have
signified their intention to join the
Lycenm, and at present, it bids fair
to become an institution of value.
The officers elect for the next four
weeks. are C. A. Speice, president;
M. E. Turner, vice-president ; C. A.

Wm. Wright met with a very
6evere accident a few days ago, while
walking hurr'edly in front or his
house. Suddenly he thought he re
ceived a blow on the back part of his
right leg about half way below the
knee; when he attempted to step, be
saw there was something wrong, and
upon examination, it was found that
the muscle of the leg was broken
loose, which will disable bim for some
time at least, but his doctor says by
being very careful he .will again re
cover the use of it.
Jerald, eldest son of Mrs. Elizabeth
Hoyt, died at the home of hi? mother
in St. Edward on the' 27th, with
diphtbera. He had been sick for
several days, but was thought to be
better. About 4 a. m. he asked his
mother for something to' eat, which
was given him ; then he called for a
drink which he took very eagerly,
and expired almost instantly. As the
house is small and the' disease con
tagions, it was thought best not to
keep the remains long, and he was
buried at 2 p. m. of tbe same day.
The mother and family have the deep
sympathy of all.
