Kibler, traveling salesman. 2 Tho Journal family acknowl edges the receipt of a 6ack of flour from the Elevator Roller Mills. It makes most excellent flour. Those who would not bo pleased, delighted with this flour arc certainly hard to satisfy. As tho Journal has before re marked, Nebraska weather is always an interesting subject of conversation, and there is no reasonable excuse for lack of information in regard to it, by tho humblest member of tho hnman family. Judge Post put in several weeks work lately in the Elkhorn Valley. Holt county supplied as many appli cations for divorce as all the seven counties of his own district. Holt is a large county in every respect, and things there are done in a wholesale manner. Those who want bargains in sta tionery, fancy goods, books, school supplies, albums, toys, etc., etc., should call immediately at A. & M. Turner's, as they are closing out, at cost, these lines of their goods, and in fact everything, except only organs and sewing machines. tf The North Bend .Flail says that M. S. Cotterell and family arc now in Washington, D. C., aud, after seeing the great political lights of the coun try, will spend the remainder of the winter in Florida. Mr. C. is known to very many of the old settlers in the Platte valley, and is highly regarded by all of them. Rev. Hood showed us a letter from his father the other day, which was a marvel of handwriting, consid ering tho writer's age. The writer was 94 years old Christmas', and his wife, Mr. Hood's mother, was 89 years old New Years day. The old couple keep hale and hearty, and it is hoped that they will enjoy life many years to come. Schuyler Herald. Aarou Holrnan, of Fairviow, claims to have an infalliblo remedy for hog cholera, and. since it is so simple it is worthy a fair ttial. He says he pours a half-pint of strong ralum water down his hogs as soon as he discovers one afflicted with the cholera, and he has saved every one by this cheap and 6imple remedy. Papillion Times. C. E. Rickly writes under date of the 6th from Rushville that they have had the finest weather this fall, up to the time of writing, that he ever ex perienced in Nebraska, but at 12 o'clock that day, there was a slight change. Rushville is still the county seat and still "booms." He likes that country better every time he goes east and returns. O. S. Mulligan, a farmer liviug iu Wilson precinct, lost a valuable mare a short time 6ince, and was unable to determine from what cause until a few days after he heard his children talk about having broken a bottle some days previous in the oat bin, when he concluded that the beast must have swallowed some of the broken glass. Glass in the stomach of anything bnt a fowl will kill n quick and sure aB poison. Schuyler Herald. The ladies aid society of the M. E. church of Columbus, will five a lunch-box sociable next Wednesday evening, Jan. 20th, at the church, commencing at 7 o'clock. By order of committee. News was received here yester day aorainf that the sheriff of Col fax county bad been killed tkat morning by om af tit inmates of the prison to whom tkva riff wm taking hie breakfast. The nriioner was an insane man, returned from the asylum at Lincoln as laourable. The sheriff, Mr. Degeman, had bnt juet entered on his term of ofiee. Jaeggi & Schnpbach wish to in form the pnblie that their Elevator Roller Mills are now in full opera tion, and that they are ready to ex change the best brands of flour, etc, for wheat. They also call special at tention to their feed mill, whioh will turn out the beat qoalitiei of ground feed in exchange for corn or oats. Give us a trial and we shall satisfy you. 36-at At the meeting Monday even ing, Wm. Schils was elected foreman of the Engine Co., Fred. Frischholt, assistant, Louis Esslenger, 2d assist ant, Chas. Taylor, foreman of the hose, John G. Becher, assistant, C. G. Hickok, secretary, D. Dowty, treas urer, T. MeTeggart janitor. Henry Hockenberger was selected as dele gate to the State Firemen's Conven tion, to be held at Seward, Jan. 19th. A few of the cattle on the Lewis ran '. are going mad ; it is presumed that they were bitten by a mad dog 6ome time in the summer or fall aud that they are now feeling the effects of the bites. Three of them have been shot already and a few more are showing symptoms of an attack of the same kind. Mr. Lewis is taking all precaution possible that it may spread no farther. Gmoa Enterprise. Mr. Aaron Cne, whose accident we mentioned last week, was taken to the Sister's Hospital where he has been very well cared for. He will probably loose the ends of some of his fingers but he is getting along as well as possible. The Journal is a firm believer in good hospitals, well supplied with appliances for taking care of the sick and disabled, and well condncted. No private home can be so well prepared. J. C. Seely went to Humphrey Wednesday, by way of Fremont. He commenced locating right of way for the Scribnor branch from the west end and comes this way. He was out in the western part of Dodge, Tuesday, taking deeds to the land on which it is proposed to build the road, and paying the cash therefor. A. H. Briggs, notary public, accom panied him to acknowledge the deeds. Scribner News. The Journal job department is prepared to furnish, 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 k Co., Colum bus, Nebr. tf At a regular meeting of Mystic Council No. 130, Royal Arcanum, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year : H. J. Hudson, regent ; J. H. Galley, vice regent; Gus. G. Becher, orator ; H. J. Hudson, collec tor ; W. A. McAllister, secretary and treasurer ; C. H. H. Dietrichs, guide ; John W. Early, sentry ; John Stauffer, warden. Irwin J. Slattery, who died last summer at Chadron, was a mem ber of Mystic Council, and whose widow promptly received $3,000 through the Supreme Council at Bos ton, that sum being the amount of her husband's policy. Business men have always con sidered it a wrong that itinerant deal ers or pedlers should bo granted a permit to sell their wares in front of their places of business. There are several good reasons why they should object, but the Supreme Conrt puts the legal phase of it in this language : "No town or city has a right to give a man a licenso or permit to sell any wares or merchandise in the street or on the sidewalk in front of the prop erty of another person. The street in front of a man's place of business is held to be an appurtenance to the lot on which his store is erected and be longs to him and his business as against all others, except only to tra wl thereon." On Monday evening last, as Mr. Jacob Ernst was stepping from the sidewalk at Wagner's barn towards his buggy, he slipped and fell, not being aware of a gutter near the side walk. His left shoulder hurt him severely after the fall, but he entered the buggy and drove home, three miles, holding the lines in his left hand. Arriving at home, and finding no relief, he sent for Dr. Evans who arrived about two hours after the accident occurred ; he found the left shoulder dislocated, and replaced it. If Mr. Ernst is not seen on our streets for a few days, it will not be strange. His many friends will be glad bis accident was no worse. rhe Fremont Herald, in giving some account of former blizzards, re fers to that of 1856, "when there were only two buildings on the townsite which were occupied, and, as the party living ia a log house standing where the Congregational church now stands, were attempting to move to a new structure across the street south, Mr. L. Gerrard, at present a banker of Columbus, in attempting to trans fer a boiler filled with dishes, was blown into the air, dishes and all, and probably saved from perishing by being accidentally blown into the hatchway leading to the dag-out, which was the second residence, standing where the marble works now stand." 1 News for Colasaaas! Mark the time and don't buy till you see! A large clothing house doing business in Omaha, having too many overcoats and winter goods of every description to carry over, will open their entire surplus stock in Columbus in the Marshall Smith block, in the old postoffice on Satur day, January 16th, and will sell for ten days only, at prices never before heard of ia tho vicinity. Note the following. Men's short sack over coats, worth 3 for $1.75, men's long overcoats, worth $a for $2, men's black dress overcoats, worth $7 for $3.75, men's fanoy black, storm king over coats, worth $8.50 for $5, men's heavy casslmere overcoats, worth $13 for $8, men's astrakhan collar and cuff storm kings, worth $20 for $12, men's fine all-wool worsted dress overcoats, worth $18 for $11.50, men's cassimere, cheviott and worsted suits at $5, $7.50, $10, $12 and $15, worth nearly double that price, men's British hose, 3 pair for 25c, men's white and gray undershirts and drawers 15c, yarn mittens worth 50c for 25c, wool socks worth 35c for 20c, all-wool blue flan nel oversbirls at 95c, $1 and $1.25, for the very best.

An inspection of our stock and prices will convince you of the truth of our advertisement. Come and lay in a year's supply. We will make it pay you. 1 C. L. Wilson, Manager. HI las Bllsuile Dlsaaer. This young lady, after a lethargy which bound her so that she could not show decisively to those who were about that she was conscious of anything that was going on, began to come to her normal condition last Sunday week, and is now on a very fair way to entire recovery. It was throe o'clock in the after: noon; she was very nervous, her fingers twitching a great deal, when suddenly her eyes opened, and she commenced to speak. She very soon convinced the fam ily that she had been able to hear what had been said in her presence during her peculiar lethargy, by tel ling them some things she could not otherwise have known. She was almost paralysed in legs and hands, and says that in her opinion their condition is owing to the electricity applied during her illness. Her lethargy continued through 69 days with a wakening of only a very few miuutes on the ninth day, and the case, taken altogether, is among the most remarkable on record. We believe that it would be well for the young lady, if she and the family should not be disturbed by visitors. Of course thore is a very natural curiosity concerning the ill ness, the young lady's thoughts dur ing the strange experience, her awakening, &c, but this curiosity should not bo allowed to interfere at all with the young lady's welfare, comfort and recovery. Tho family have cortainly been greatly discom moded by the troops of visitors, many of them entire strangers and idly curious, and they ought now not be disturbed. This we say ourselves, and not from any suggestion of the Dishner family. ateml Estate Xraasrers. Reported for the Journal for the week ending last Saturday, by Gus. G. Becher & Co : John M.

Cox was in St. Edward Saturday. - Mrs. Sarah Parker spent the holi days on the Looking Glass. The Methodists of this place com memorated the birth f;Christ and the birth of a New Tear Friday eve. The largest gatherings ever assem bled in this vicinity were those con ducted successively on Christmas and New Tear's night at the Lutheran and Methodist church. These two large buildings were seated to their utmost capacity, and standing room was at a premium. The exercises were of an excellent literary nature and ren dered in a manner creditable to those who participated, and of great benefit to those who were desirous of obtain ing more information about the day we commemorate in honor of our Saviour. Special mention should bo made of the siuging, which was the most important feature of the enter tainments; tho chorus are deserving of the highest praiso and the excel lent music rendered will long be re membered by those present. The success of those features aro largely due to the earnest cfiorts of tho Revs. Swanson and Cbarnquist. Tho trees were loaded with numerous and val uable presents which wero distributed at tho close of the meetings, making glad tho hearts of the little ones and closing an epoch long to be remem bered by those present. Maynard. Llacela. January 2, 1886. Mb. Editob: Possibly a few notes from one of your subscribers, will not be thrown aside by you. Tbos. Keene, in Hamlet, played here to a full houso Thursday even iuj. Those who never had the privi lege of seeing Keene play Hamlet, enjoyed a treat. Quito a number from Wahoo came down to see him. I have now been in Lincoln six wocks and can say it is a lively place in winter for any ono who enjoys a good time. Just now it is a little dull, but before the holidays it was lively indeed. A person in search of amusemonts did not have to look far; if fancy suited him ho could just drop around to the Metropolitan rink and enjoy himself. Skating to tho splen did music of a cornet band, or if ho tired of that ho could go around to tho T. M. C. A. rooms where bo could pass an hour away very easily, or 15 cents would pass him into the Art Loau rooms, which havo been open to the public for over a week ; there you can see all the curiosities imaginable. There you will seo busts of men from old sculptors also a water pitcher which was brought over on the May flower, also a Buffalo lariat which was picked up after tho battle fought by Gen. Custer with tho Indians, also some fino paintings and crayon work done by Lincoln artists ; it is worth a person's time to go thore and study all tho articles on exhibition. The proceeds go towards helping the young men to fix up their rooms. R. A. Kunkel. lilNmark 1'reciact. Emil Carr left for Iowa last week. Tilton Hill ha3ono hundred bushels of seed corn for sale. Otto Mueler had a very fine Christ mas and Now Tear's tree. Wm. H. Swartsley and Walter W. Butler, visited the Bismark Academy on the 29th. L. II. Leavy had a spelling school at tho Bismark Academy last Thurs day evening. It was very well at tended ; there were also some miscel laneous exercises, which were as fol lows Opening hymn, by the schol ars ; select reading, Walter W. Butler, Edwin Butler and Bertha Hodel; essays by L. H. Leavy, William H. Swartsley, Ella Swartsley and Martha Craun ; declamations by Charles D. Wilson, John W. C. Crauu, Mary E. Craun, Otto Heidcn, Alvin Butler, Martin Dreher and George Swarts ley ; stump-s peecheB by J. C. Swarts ley and Thomas M. Wilson; intermis sion, spelling, and then closing hymn by the scholars. Everything was in order, and everyone enjoyed them selves. Spelling schools aro an ex cellent thing, and should be encour aged by all who tako an interest iu the education of the young people.

The unusually mild weather dur ing the latter half of tho month caused a sudden breaking up of the ice (6 to 8 inches in thickness) in the Loupe and Platte rivers and the con sequence was that a portion of each of tbo wagon and railroad bridges at Columbus was carried away. Itest 1st the World. Ottumwa Lily Corn Starch ha6 been brought to the highest attainable quality by employing tho best skill and scientific aid that money can fur nish. It is the most strengthening and health-giving food now before the public, and is especially recommend ed for children and invalids. Every package guaranteed strictly pure. Remember and ask your grocer for Lily Corn Starch. WERMUTH -DEALERS IX- Heavy and Shelf Hardware, Stoves and Tinware, Pumps, Guns and Ammunition. The Celebrated Moline Wagon Sold Here. Shell Creek Itesaa. A little lawsuit was up before jus tice Henrich the other day. It was tho old way: MKaty did!" "Katy didn't I" The case was adjourned for sixty days to enable defendant to ob tain testimony from a distance. Mr. H. S. Elliott had another mis hap. Mrs. Elliott and child and Miss Macy Elliott coming home from moeting were thrown out of the bog gy and Miss E. was considerably hurt. The driver held to bis lines manfully, but the ponies, being scared by some boys coming up hollowing from be hind ran away, upset the rig and threw all out. Had two young snow storms since Now Tears, pretty severe ones too. Don't know what they would have amounted to if full-grown. January is beginning pretty hard, but "hard masters don't rule long," is an old saw. Hope it holds good in this case. The German make February say : "Bruder Januar, war ich wie du, Ich lioss verfrieren das Kalbinder Kuh." But we will hope for better things. Stock of all kinds has dono well so far in this great country on Shell Creek, no sickness, no hog cholora, no loss that we know of. Bloomingdale stock farm has done splendid lately. Tbo proprietor sold about 100 pigs mostly for breeding purposes. There is also a good inquiry for bull calves, the got of the celebrated premium shorthorn bull, Robin Adair, 53,600. Tho owner regrets to part with this extra fino and sure animal, but will have to sell him to avoid inbreeding. As the Journal has always been an advocate of good stock, I will add an item or two from a paper from tho old home of good shorthorns in Ken tucky. "Mr. Anderson of Mount Sterling and Mr. Andrews of Youngs town, Ohio, purchased from the Bow Park herd, Canada, tho famous cow, Dutchess of Kent, for f5,000." "Tho best bunch of cattle ever received in Louisville, 26 head, came from Jeffer son county. They weighed 46,495 pounds, an average of 1,786 pounds a head. These magnificent bullocks show what shorthorn blood can do." A heifer from Bloomingdale stock farm beat that, she weighed 1820 poonds. People of education and refinement have long beon sick of slang worda and phrases of many young roostors and geese, calling themselves young ladies and genilomen. Are they ashamed of the English language a language spoken by more than a hundred millions of people? Do they mean to improve upon it? If Noah Webster or others as able as he had attempted such a thing, one might pardon the attempt. But our strip lings? Is it nicer to bark like a dog "vow I" than to say plainly "Yes sir?" "Yes madam 1" "No sir I" "No mad am!" But this barking is becoming so fashionable among our young peo ple that one has to asi again and again : "Do yon mean yes or no ?" One of the constables of this town was threatened to be shot because he had to serve an execution on a man. So the story ruus. The writer don't want to make an elephant out of a gnat, but as tho constable in Massa chusetts said to a fellow about to strike him, "Take care, if you strike me, you strike the state of Massachu setts, bo the fellow in this case ought to understand that if ho resists or threatens an officer while, or for doing his official duty, he resists and threatens the state of Nebraska. "Let justice be done," let the law be up held, "if the heavens should fall." Fellows like the above should at least bo put under bond to keep the peace, if not mado so secure, that no dog could bite them. Experiments of all kinds are tbo order of the day in this progressive age. The gentle breezes we had from the north and northwest for a few days baking noses and ears and cheeks of people a though they had been boiled, reminded the writer of a lec ture by a former governor of Mon tana, which ho read a few years ago. That gentleman tried to prove from the nature of things and from Instan ces recordod in the histories of wars that by a cannonade the currents of air could be changed. Just think of it, Mr. Editor, what an attainment it would be, it such an old-fashioned northwesterner could be tamed down and trained to blow gently up from Florida, bringing fresh roso leaves instead of piles of snow! Would not that bo worthy of the sweat of noble men and also worth a few thousand pounds of gunpowder? What next ? The Germans throughout tho coun ty feel proud of their enterprising countrymen, Messrs. Jaeggi & Schup bach and the Schroeders, who put up the roller mills iu Columbus and are planning other improvements. An other enterprise would no doubt suc ceed and pay well in Columbus. I mean a woolen mill. The writer has spoken to one and another gentleman about this. Wool has been sold here as low aq 12 cts. per pound, while yarn sells at 75 cts. Hero are 500 per cent. Manufactured into woolen goods it brings a great deal more. Some fear that we have not wool enough to keep such a thing going. Messrs. Barker, Henry, Lord and others have thousands of sheep and many moro would be raised if thore wan a demand for wool. Besides the wool from Colorado and other west ern states and territories could be had here much lower than in Naw York, Boston or even Chicago. Let Colum bus go on and b:come still more a manufacturing town and one factory will help the other and all will help the city and the city will help the railroads and the country all around. She has made rapid progress in this respect within the last few years, and with the State Capitol in prospect, if not that of tbo nation, ehe may well be on a boom. X. Y.
