The children and grand-children
of Mr. and Mrs. Hudson, about thirty
in all, on Sunday afternoon gave them
a great surprise on the occasion of the
birthday of Mrs. Hndson, she being
59 years of age, by taking advantage
of their absence at church in prepar

grand repast and several valuable
birthday presents.
It was rather laughable the other
morning to see a store-keeper come
out of his place with a sprinkler, step
up to the pump in front of Wermuth

draw of water, only to find that the
pump was only a vain "show," and
had no well attached.
Mr. G. W. Hulst, of Columbus,
returned Monday from a deer hunt,
which he has been enjoying in com

Omaha, and C. P. Mathewson, of
Norfolk. The company have been
making Gordon their headquarters,
driving out from there with teams in
whichever direction they preferred.
During the three weeks they were
there they killed eighteen deer and
one elk, which Mr. Hulst says is not
as good lock as they have had pre
vious seasons. la conversation with
Commissioner May, Mr. Hulst de
veloped a familiarity with the fish

The Journal has noted, time and
again, that the canning companies
are doing good work for themselves
as well as for the communities where
they have been started. In Nebras
ka, wherever these institutions have
had anything like a fair outset, they
have been richly-paying investments.
At Beatrice the company have pnt np
this season 475,000 cans of vegetables,
tomatoes, corn, string beans, peas,
squash and pumpkins. More than
that, every can has been sold, and the
demand greater than the supply.
During September 150 hands were
employed, and the wholesale value of
the canned goods was $40,000. There?
is no danger of overdoing this busi
ness in Nebraska, and Columbus is as
good a point as any in the state for
this branch of industry.
W. C. Packard, of the Sterling
Colorado News, was in the city the
first of the week. He says that the
country from Denver Junction to
Sterling is having quite a boom. The
railroad lands that far west have all
been sold and the government land is
being taken very rapidly. Fine
crops were raised this year on the
table-lands. A large number of
David City people have located near
Sterling. Sterling is a railroad divi
sion town and the center of a fine
farm and stock country. Good gov
ernment land may yet be secured
within ten miles of the town. It is
expected that the Unldridge branch
of the Burlington railroad will be
buil' up the Frenchman creek touch
ing Sterling on the way to Cheyenne,
Wyoming.
A man who wouldn't give his
name was arrested Monday by Po
liceman Nickels for stealing a lap
robe from the back of a horse at
Ernst & Schwarz's store. He was
very obstreperous, and hesitated con
siderably until the " come-alonga "
were placed upon him, when he
managed to do a little better. He
swore ho could whip the policeman,
and finally threatened to kill him.
At Bncher's corner, he made a motion
to draw a weapon, which proved to
be an old, but a very sharp, razor.
The policeman was no ways mollified
by the appearance of the weapon, but
took his man off to jail, where he had
time to reflect upon the changes that
crooked men are liable to, especially
in towns where the police do their
duty.
John D. Davis, of Butler pre
cinct, this county, met with a ser
iouB casualty on Thursday last, by the
burning of his dwelling house and its
entire contents about 12 o'clock of
that day. Mr. Davis had come to
Columbus and Mrs. Davis was at the
time visiting a neighbor. There had
been no fire kept running after break
fast waB over, and how the fire orig
inated is not known. It is supposed
it was 6et on fire in the absence of the
family. His loss will exceed $500.
Mr. Hudson as postmaster has
stepped down, and W. N. Hensley,
formerly editor of the Democrat, has
taken possession of the office. Mr.
Hudson has made an exceedingly ac
commodating and capable post-master.
None could reasonably expect
better service than he has given. Ed.
North, we learn, will be deputy post
master under Hensley, and the office
will soon be moved to the new brick
building sooth of Oehlrich's store.

R. R. Co. will shortly put on their
road a new stock car, which Will give
a stall for each animal, wherein he
can stand or lie down at will, and in
which he can be fed and watered.
This wilf prove in every way a good
thing, saving shrinkage on cattle,
adding to their comfort, and neces
sitating no unloading in a thousand
mile run.
Even the congregations will be
compelled t6 call upon the police for
protection from insolent disturbance
by boodlnm boys. Two dozen listen
ers were disturbed Sunday evening
at the Methodist chnrch by urchins,

completely disgusted, forcibly re
minded the worst of the disturbers
that it was time to quit.

Wilson, Colfax County, Neb., )
November 3d, 1885. $
A remedy is found at last for the
prevention of hog cholera, and a cure
in its first stages. I have purchased
of R. A. Wilson, the patentee, the
right of territory of Colfax, Plal9
and Madison counties, and am now
prepared to furnish recipes for tho
medicine, an application to me, for
the sum of five dollars I will send by
mail to applicants. I will say to you,
my fellow farmers, this is no humbug,
but it baa been tried by our ablest
and best farmers in the state and
given the best satisfaction. Don't
wait and say it is a humbug, until
your hogs aro all sick or dead, but
send at once and get the receipt;
there are only two ingredients neces
sary to purchase in the drug store,
the rest you have on every farm. I
have paid a large sum of money for
the right, and I know there is no
farmer but is willing to risk five
dollars to destroy the ravages of hog
cholera. Our lives and our prosper
ity and the lives of our families de
pend on it. The pressing necessity
demands that I advertise this at once
as it is the only means of reaching all
farmers. I am a farmer myself and
have the interest of others at heart.
Address as below.

He is a square man to deal with.

When will the end of improvements
come? is a question which is often
asked, but which none can answer.
Judging from appearances I should
say the end of improvement will not
come until the end of the world, as
Mr. McGill is erecting a horse barn,
Frederick Miller, a large dwelling
house, and Jacob Schwank, treasurer
of district No. 10, has erected a horse
barn, enlarged his cellar, walled it up
with stone and put a rock fo undation
under his house.
That terrible scourge of hogs, hog
cholera, is still raging in some parts.
I learn that Mr. Luckeye has lost fifty
bead. Mr. McGill says that to put
tar around the hog pen so that they
will rub against it and get it on thorn,
so that they will smell nothing but
tar, that they will net catch the dis
ease. Otto Mueller has followed out
the above instructions and none of
hi6 hogs are sick yet, but if the hogs
catch tho disease, this remedy is of no
avail. I advise all farmers to try it,
as a preventive.

My friend Truman again comes out
in your last issue with more couuty
records and tries to prove that my
statement of the unpaid warrants of
$40,000 is untrue, that I made a mis
statement, etc. Now, let us see about
this matter. He exhibits a great deal
of ignorance, or else wants to bide the
facts. Ho says he finds by the pub
lished statement of the county clerk,
January 1st, 1885 :
Jan. 1, '85, The am't of warrants
outstanding including interest$23,4S6.63
Since tnnt time issued on the
levy of $r, 18,663.02
$42,155.55
Oct. '85, The Co Treasurer has
redeemed warrants $17,143.44
B alance outstanding $25,012.11
Then he gives the
RKSOURCES.
Jan. 1, '85, Taxes due and de
linquent $ 40,610.38
" Taxes of '84, due but
uncollected 50,419.17
To which he says should be ad
ded the taxes of '85, now due, 50,000.00
This you see makes $141,029.55, for
which warrants are drawn and un
paid, for it is impossible to pay before
you have the money. Then there is
unpaid, making a total of $166,041.66.
Now, if his figures are correct, then
for the 6ake of our children, our
wives and our homes, let us call a
meeting of the whole people and stop
this overwhelming tide of indebted
edness and destruction. Is it possi
ble! I can hardly write these words
from sheer nervousness, in contem
plating these figures.
My friend goes on and asks me in
all innocence if the county board did
draw on the same levy twice. He is
alarmed at his own figures and wants
to show some cause for tbiB state of
thing". When ignorance is blise, etc.
He is town clerk ; does he think it
possible to draw twice on the same
levy when his warrant must show on
its face, the amount of the levy and
the amount drawn? Some one has
been giving him taffy, and now he
wants to divide it with his people.
He has utterly failed to show one re
deeming quality of town organization,
but has concealed facts and pandered
to the prejudices of the people, and
after be has secured town organiza
tion by the methods employed and

Needs f tae Caaty.
Ed. Journal: If the financial
affairs of our county are run on the
suicidal policy talked of in your last
issue in several communications,
therein contained and which bear the
impress of .truth, then 6urely the
people of Platte county should awake
from their lethargy and carelessness
at once and do something to change
this condition of affairs. It is cer
tainly high time for the people to
wake up and see that the financial
condition of the county is improved.
The short-sighted policy that has
been pursued by the county has been
well demonstrated the past two
weeks and the county expenses very
materially augmented by the foolish
policy of cutting good valid claims,
claims that any one should know
could and would be successfully
fought in the courts. This refers to
road damages, and others wholly paid
that showed gross frauds on their
face. Let any man look over the
various claims (who has one bit of an
idea of valid claims of the county)
and notice the inconsistency prac
ticed by the county board, and .be
surely will be astonished. Not that
there are no men composing that
board that do not see and understand
this business, but tho fact Is that their
opinions and ability are overriden by
the majority that do not see the final
results of their actions. It is 6aid
that in a multitude of council there
is wisdom. So there is when that
council is conducted in au honest
desire to do good, and stripped of
selfishness and personal bigotry. No
man can be a faithful public officer
whose sole ambition is to gain wealth
and political power, because in that
case it must be purchased to the det
riment of his constituents. Any man
who will look over the liabilities and
expenditures of the county will be
astonished at the result if ho has one
spark of freedom and independence
iu his composition. The Lard times
and low prices of produce now ex
isting, and therefore scarcity of
money and the indebtedness of the
average farmer, point to tho fact that
the delinquency of taxes for the pre
sent levy now due will be greater
than for several years, and no busi
ness or county can be run long on a
bad and decreasing credit. All these
things are calculated to increase and
multiply the financial troubles in
store tortus. The above is not written
for any selfish or political purpose
other than a general good for the
whole people, although it may come
trom a bumble source. I ask in the
name of sincerity hope and truth
that the people will stop and look at
the facts for themselves, and then act
in accordance with their honest con
victions. If the condition of our pub
lic affairs is not sufficient to startle
the most careless, if he will look at
them, then there is no hope and the
cautious man is driven to the last
resort, viz: of shaping his personal
affairs to meet the crisis.
