Kennedy of Audubon, Iowa, arrived in the city Saturday to take position on the Journal force. He is a son of B. F. Kennedy, well known to many of our Ohio readers, and reminds us of our mu tual grand-father, one of the earth's noble men, gone to the Land of the Leal Dr. Moses -Kennedys Tho attention of the readers of the Journal is called to the adver tisement of Messrs.

A peep at a recent job of theirs on the;old 'JouBNAXi-sanctain will show the taste .they have in their arts. The simple fact that the Wilber force Grand Concert Company has secured the services of L.

Sentinel contains the following reference to one of onr young men who has recently entered pn "business here for himself: We learn that Mr. Charles,, E. -Pollock has entered into business at Columbus, Nebraska. Success to him ; Charles is a fine fellow and we can cheerfully say he is a good ono for both integrity and. finance, as he is a son or one of our most 'wealthy .... . . . . . j 1MU1I1C0, UCH1UCH JS HIUUIUUUB caetiOBs in all his undertakings. and City CraMCll. ' There are several reasons why the Journal purposes devoting more space, the coming year than hereto fore, to tho acs of the city conncil. First, it promises to be a very ex ceptional year in the history of the city. Waterworks bonds have been voted and tbe subject is to be acted upon; railroad interests are to be looked after; improvements will probably be more in demand; the city has been somewhat straightened heretofore for funds, and probably some measure will be devised to secure money enough to provide for the general welfare of the city what touches the purse will interest all of us ; besides all which we have made such arrangements that we can de vote more space to local matters, even to the exclusion of everything else and if voters are not supplied with the complete particulars of their city affairs it will only be because they fail to read the Journal. We must premise our year's work by saying that the summary of pro ceedings will be our own compila tion from the records in the clerk's hands. The council elect met Saturday evening, April 10th, and was called to order by the new Mayor, Carl Kra mer. Present, conncilmen, Lockner and Ragatz, whose terms of office have not expired, and Schwarz, Hughes and Whitmoyer, members elect for the 1st, 2d and 3d wards, re spectively. The mayor's appointment of John M. Macfarland as city attorney was confirmed, on motion of Whitmoyer. On motion of Lockner, M. Whit moyer was elected president of the council. The mayor then announced the fol lowing committees for the ensuing year: Judiciary Whitmoyer, North and Ragatz. Finance North, Whitmoyer and Ragatz. Fire Lockner, Schwarz and Whit moyer. Public Properly Hughes, Schwarz and Lockner. Police Schwarz, Hughes, Ragatz. Claims Ragatz, Hughes, North. Printing Ragatz, North, LocSncr. Flection and Privileges Whit moyer, North, Hughes. Streets, Grades, Sidewalks and Bridges Lockner, Hughes, Schwarz. The council then in committee of tho whole, proceeded to consider ap plications and bonds for saloon li cence and druggists permits. Licenses were ordered as follows : Patrick Hays, M. J. Leonard, Geo. Waguer, Wm. Buchor, Geo. Wandel, Paul Hoppen, P. J. Schmitz, Jos. Hengler, J. P. Abts & Son, Whitaker & Ryan, W. T. Walker, R. Brandt & Bro., W. A. Scbrocder, V. A. Mackcn, saloon license To A. Heintz and C. B. Stillman, druggist's license. The petition and bond of C. E. Pollock & Co. for druggist's permit was referred to city attorney. On motion of Lockner, street over seer's report for '85 was referred to committeo on streets and grades. Tho ordinanco respecting license tax on certain occupations and busi ness was, on motion of Ragatz, laid on the table. An amendmeut moved by Whitmoyer to refer same to Judi ciary committee was lost. The or dinance to reorganize tho Columbus Fire Drpartment was, on motion of Ragatz, referred to committee on Firo to report at next meeting. Official bond of J. C. Cowdery presented and approved. On motion tho Columbus Journ al was declared tho official city paper. On motion of Whitmoyer; Conn cil adjourned to meet April 17th 7 :30 p. m., sharp. Mr. George Barnhart and Major Birney, the latter now of Crete, Neb., being in the city one evening last week made a most pleasant call on A. C. Turner of the Journal force. Mr. Birney was born and raised in Har rison county, Ohio, near the county seat, the old home of Journal family, and being possessed of a good con versational talent the early M. E. circuit riders, tbe lawyers, politicians, doctors and old citizens, and the memory of early events, together with Matthew Simpson, John A. Bingham, E. M. Stanton, and others, since famous in tho world's history, were discussed, which made it one of the most pleasant evenings our senior has spent in Nebraska. Call again, gentlemen, it does us good to meet old friends, whether in the familiar faces, or reproduced from fond memory's picture of tbe long-ago. - Stepping into Hartman's Store on eleventh street, opposit the Den ver House, you will find everything neat, clean and tidy, under the care of Miss Anna Becher, who is very cour teous alBO in waiting upon customers, who are increasing in such numbers that Mr. Hartman will soon find it necessary again, as before, to secure larger quarters. Hero is the largest and best assortment of books of gen eral literature histories, biograph ies, fiction, standard works also a full line of the cheaper editions, pa per covers, stationery of every grade aud description, albums of all prices artists'-materials, school supplies in abundance, cabinet organs at reason able prices and a thousand and ninety-nine other articles both useful aud ornamental.

Those in need of either of theso articles, and who expect to purchase during tho coming year aro hereby requested to send a letter to tho ad dress of A. & M. Turner, Columbus, Nebr., stating tbe fact. Tho letter will be placed on file and if a pur chase is mado within a year from its date, a deduction of $2 from the reg ular price of a Bewing machine will be made, $5 on an organ and $10 on a piano, and the goods delivered. This deduction we can well afford to make becauao we will savo moro than this in traveling expenses. All articles sold fully guaranteed. A. & M. Tubnrr, Columbus, Neb. Wo think it is pretty generally conceded now that it becomes tho city council to go slow in expending the bonds voted for waterworks. To be sure we need protection against fire, and need it badly, and, bo far we are individually concerned, we believe in having the best attainable methods, but wo also recognize the fact that there is a general disposi tion to look upon $25,000 just at present, as too much. Would it not be better to await the developments of the next two or three weeks at least, and then act when thoro ca be some unanimity? This looks to the Journal to be the wiser policy, es pecially as it need not, necessarily, delay work to be done this season. Buy tho Whitehill sewing ma chine at A. & M. Turner's. It is guaranteed to give satisfaction in every particular. It is one of the very best machines sold, is haudaome, durable, strongly-built ; is easy run ning, is very easily managed, and makes a neat stitch. You will Bave ra oney by examining the Whitehill before purchasing. Give yonr orders to G. W. Kibler, traveling talesman. Cvmmtj SHperlateBdeat'oKeprt rr Febraary.

Breaking has recommenced in this vicinity. John Luchsingcr sold his fat steers last week. Don't know tho price. Rudolph C. Muelor shot a swan on the 5th which weighed sixteen lbs. O. D. Butler has enlarged his cow stable and also erected a shed for hay. Louis Nouubnrg lost five head of cattle from somo unknown disease last week. This weather, though not on the whole pleasant, is far more enjoyablo than tho snow of a few weeks past. Georgo Uodcl went to Chicago on the 31st with his fat steere. Mr. 11. intends to niako farming pay. If Hie weather is not exceedingly unfavorable the slough bridgo south of Matthis's bridge will be ready for crossing on the 10th. Ducks aro scarce iu this vicinity now; some person who has plenty (that he cannot control himself) had better ship a car-load to Bismark. Five or six immenso herds of cattle went by ou their way to Columbus ou the od, which shows what indus trious, thriving farmers wo have here. Quite a number of people who live iu other counties and states, inscribed their names on the railing of Shell Creek bridge, when they visited Bis mark. Their names still remain, aud they will be remembered in the years to como. Wo heard of somo one shooting a duck last weok; we wonder how he managed to get it, whether ho lured it into a fly catcher and suddenly closed tbe lid, or so paralyzed it by talking politics that he was enabled to shoot it, wo do not know ; but as we havo frequently made efforts in that direction without avail, we would be much obliged to him if ho would send us tho plan. Just to illustrate the pluck of the hunters of Bismark, I will narrate the following incident : Oue of our nim rods was out hunting with somo of bis frionds last week, and suddenly found himself out of shot; scoing a flock of ducks approaching ho com menced putting in powder, and on being asked by one of his friends what ho was going to do for shot, re plied, "I still have a nail in my pocket." It is needless to say that ho got some ducks. Such inventivo gen ius deserves success. Tho district aud town meetings were held at the Bismark school house, April 5th and 6th. Tho for mer resulted in the re-election of Jacob Schwauk for treasurer; also that there should be seven months school, the ensuing year, the summer term, two months which is to com mence the third Monday in April, and the winter term of fivo months shall begin tho first Monday in No vember. The latter was dovoted to discussing bridge building and the financial condition of tho Township. ClIAKLES. Shell Creek Items. Mr. George Glass lost one of his children by death. It was about three years old. Dr. W. L. Armstrong intends to donate his farm for an orphans home and movo to California. Tho only child of Mr. Hugh Ed wards is very sick; also Mr. Iti vet's son Charley ia very ill ; and Mrs. M. Farrcl is suflcriug from a very sore finger. Tho 6now is almost gone; tho prairie larks are singing, the far mers rejoicing, tho despondent ones taking courage, the trees ar.o begin ning to bud, bluo-grass is growing, and everything Bcems to sing, "Get out Jack-Frost, till January eighty seven !" The annual school meeting of dis trict 31 was a pretty lively one. Mr. K. Lewis was re-elected treasurer. The board was ordered to have two months summer and fivo months winter school, and 10 mills of taxes wero levied. Tho school house had a brick foundation built under it and is bciug painted, giving it a solid and inviting appearance, and Frank is makiug a good and neat job of it. The nunual township meeting of Joliet township was but thinly at tended. Its foremost officer also was prominent for his absence. A. Hen rich was elected chairman. A good deal of dissatisfaction was oxpressed on account of law suits the town has been involved in. A few by-laws were adopted intended to prevent carelcsB expenditure of public money. 4 mills of taxes were voted for gen eral fund. X. Y. Z.
