It seems exceedingly strange that any man having a spark of intel ligence should be guilty of doing such a thing. The law is very em phatic against this dirty and very dangerous practice, and for the good of everybody and safety to human life, every man who pollutes the streams of water should be dealt with according to law.

Meade we learn par ticulars of the accident to John and Frank Parch at Platte Center, known as the brick makers. They were un loading corn from a wagon in Kehoe's elevator, when the team took fright at something and ran about four hun dred feet, knocking both dowu. It seems that John had hold of the nigh horse by the bridle and Frank had hold of the reins, and when the horses started they tried to get away but could not, and when the boys fell the wheels passed over Frank's right thigh causing an oblique fracture of the femur; the other side of the wagon passed over John's breast, fracturing four ribs, under right arm. The Doctor says the boys are mend ing nicely. Thursday last Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Martz started from town to walk to the Union Pacific bridge over the Loup, on their way home. Some short distance this side the bridge, the eastbound passenger train appear ed in sight, and Mr. Martz, cautioning his wife to get far enough away from the track so that the train would not draw her into its current, both step ped off the track. The engine passed by them, but Mr. Martz, it is said, while endeavoring to keep his hat from being blown off his head, leaned too much toward the train aad was struck by one of the coaches, en the right side and on the heed, his right arm being broken in three places, his neck being broken (probably by the sudden blow upen the side) this mo tion throwing his head against the car, and being thrown violently to the ground, his left arm extended, the left shoulder was dislocated. He did not return to consciousness, and breathed his last in a very few min utes. Mr. Martz had many traits of good character; he was industrious and honest, and of a gentle and very genial disposition, fie leaves a foad wife aad six children to mourn the loss of a loving husband and iadal- geat father.

Some of the Platte Centerites are down on a hotel keeper there who is said to have refused a room to a man wounded by an accident. There is rumor afloat that a stroug man with a number of grown-up sons and daughters talks of shortly throw ing himself on the county, but some are in favor of giving such men a free ticket to the work house. Mr. II. McKabe weat to Chicago with a lot of hogs but is said to have lost time and money by the operation. Would have made .money by selling them here. Such things have, how ever, happened to honest men before. The contemplated move for a farm ers institute for Platte and enj fining counties to be held in Columbus this winter is a good one, and should re ceive the hearty co-operation of all farmers. "United we stand, divided we fall r Another saloon has been opened in Platte Center. Is there not some con nection between saloons, pauperism, accidents, wife-beating, cruelty and some other lovely things? Your writer doee not belong to the order of good templars either, nevertheless ht. cannot rejoice over a new saloon. It is in the air that a highly respect ed lady on Shell Creek and some children were driven out in the night by a drunken husband, and that after taking refuge in another house they were threatened to be burned out. Some neighbors are resolved to let another occurrence of that sort not go unpunished. Before the readers of the Journal get to sec this Christmas with its different entertainments, oyster sup pers, exhibitions, Christmas trees ar ranged by "Tom, Dick and Harry" and their cousins in the moon will all be over, and whatever there wag in them of innocent enjoyment and of good done will leave sweet recollec tions which even noisy and boisterous New Year will not obliterate. As for New Year the writer ex tends happy greeting and genial good wishes for real happiness to the whole force of the Journal office from the venerable and honorable Judge A. C.

Peter Greieo has put up a corn crib to hold hia large yield of corn. . The weather has been remarkably mild with the exception of a few days this fall. Mr. and Mrs. Merril left for Illinois hut week, which they expect to make their future home. Bebert Heidea left for Detroit aa the 22d, accompanied by his cousin Bernheart Heiden, who has been vis iting here the last few months. Bobert does not expect to return until spring. This country has increased a great deal in population, within the last few years, and land is becoming very deer; lve years ago, it sold fer from four to fear aad a half dollars an acre, while at the present date it is selling at from twenty to twenty-Ire.

Davies on Christ mas night was well attended. Business is lively in Duncan at present. Midnight mass in Catholic church Thursday night. The Christmas tree at the Duncan school house was well patronized, and not a few got nice presents. Apples, candy, cakes and many other good things were distributed among the people present, and all went home feeling that it was good to be there. The community was not a little surprised last Wednesday morning to find part of the Loup bridge gone. There were legions of teams wending their way towards Columbus to lay in supplies for Christmas presents, etc. But Johnny's tin horn came out at the little end, end Mary and Susan's doll were swept down the tragic Loup. Mr. Martz, an old resident of Butler, who was killed on last Thurs day by the eastern bound express, was buried in the Duncan cemetery Siturday afternoon. He was fol lowed to his last resting place by a large number of friends, who all joined in expressing their heart-felt sympathy for the bereaved family.

Last spring Thomas Johnson sowed about 2 acres of prairie to sorghum seed and plowed it under. It grew enormous.
