O. P. Davis and other members of the advisory board of the Wes tern Mutual Benevolent Association of Beatrice, Neb., have joined in a circular denouncing the management of the association, and withdraw their former recommendation. Theo. Odenthal gave us a very pleasant call Monday. The accident which occurred to him about eight weeks since by which he had bis right leg broken near the ankir, has left him somewhat lame yet ; though the bones have knit, the sprain has not healed. A friend in the city is in receipt of a letter of late date from Elmer Smith at Carlsbad. Leander Ger rard and L. A. Clark had stopped with them on their way to San Diego, and expressed themselves as liking the country; Carlsbad is booming, and Elmer is earning $80 a month surveying. Michael Weaver, whose arrival was lately noted from Columbus, Nebraska, has purchase of F. Grundhoefer his plant on Seven teenth street, and settled down to business. We have known Mr. Weaver for year, and can testify that as a wheelwright, furniture re pairer, or general wood worker, he is first-class, and will give satisfaction in every laetance. National City (Cal.) Becord. Abner Turner returned Tuesday of last week from bis winter's so journ in the east, which he seems to have enjoyed very much. He thinks Philadelphia is about as pleasant a city as the country has; whilo at New York he saw Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, including the Columbia boys and the cdone exhibition; at Washington City, he shook hands with Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, saw the city and surroundings from the dome of the Capitol and heard the eloquence of statesmen in the Senate Chamber. Ab. takes a lively interest in public matters, and thinks that, while there is no danger of the United States getting into war with any European power just now, it is always well enough to be prepared for any sudden emergency that may arise. He believes in manifesting a spirit of independence and fearless ness in our dealings with other nations, and in showing them very emphatically that we are not to be trifled with. Saturday evening last shortly after dusk while on his way home, in the eastern part of the city, with a basket of provisions, James Hannan was accosted by a well-dressed, nice appearing young man near Gass's furniture store and asked to give up his money. Jim was badly scared, of course, and let his basket down so suddenly that the other fellow ran off the other way aB Jim took to his heels toward home, both running from each other, scared like the two armies at Bull Run. Jim, however, returned to the scene of battle in a few minutes, and found his basket O. K. These fellows that are playing the highwayman occasionally around town will meet the muzzle of a small shotgun one of these fine evenings if they are not tolerably careful. Stevenson Bros, have been doing a fair business at the Creamery all winter, and are in good readiness for the increased business they ex pect with the opening of spring. They have demonstrated the feasi bility of running a cteamery here in winter, and it is to be hoped that an other winter will find more farmers taking advantage of the situation. The number of routes for the coming summer will be double that of last year, and a corresponding increase of business is calculated upon. The Stevenson Bros, have the entire con fidence of the community ; their busiuess has been straighttorwafn and commendable in every particu lar. County Sup't of school?, Mr Tedrow, has instituted a system ot study tor the public schools of the county, and, as a stimulant to study, issues diplomas to those students who gain a certain proficiency. In pursuance of this plan, three diplo mas have already been issued, viz : to Anna and Gertie Phillips of Dist. 19, A. T. Carr, teacher, and to Henry Lunkey of Dist. 2, Wm. Swartsloy, teacher, these three having passed very creditable examinations. The Journal thinks this action of the Sup't very commendable, believing it will have a good effect upon the public schools of the county ; the Journal hopes to record the be stowal ot many more diplomas. The Harlan county Times pub lished at Alma has the following about the minstrels that will appear at the opera house, this city, one week from to-nigbt: "For the third time Halladay's minstrels held the boards at the Alma opera house last Saturday evening, and for the third time the house was filled to its ut most capacity. Everything on the bills was brought out as promised, and the audience was well entertained throughout the entire evening. Mr. Halladay has got the minstrel busi ness down fine, and he can count on a good house every time be comes to Alma." Will exhibit at Columbus, March 23d. Seyeral invited friends were present Monday evening at the ex ercises of a portion of Miss Belle Parsons' elocution class. The pro gram for the evening was recitations by Mrs. Backus, Wilk Speice, Eva Clark, Mrs. Brindley, Sam. McDon ald, Walter Henry and Martha Tur ner. The criticisms by the class and teacher were very interesting, and the exercises generally showed the splendid work Miss Parsons has been doing for her pupils. 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.

Turner & Co., Colum bus, Nebr. tf Quite a sensation was made last Wednesday morning by numerous reports circulated in regard to the body of a man having been found in the timber southwest of town on the banks of the Loup. All kinds of stories were immediately started,' of murder, lost and frozen, etc etc. The truth seems to be that in the long ago a map was boned here and his skeleton is" now laid bare. The platform surrounding the new U. P. depot is being laid, and the new structure will soon be opened for business. It is said that the old depot is to be moved to Olive street, south of the Hammond House, and west of the new depot, and be used exclusively for freight. This will make it advisable to open meorasKa Avenue across the track. Register Higgins of the Grand Island Land office recently dismissed a timber culture contest of Peter Cholacha against Wm. F. Dodge, holding with the defendant's at torney, W. M. Cornelius, that, al thoueb the breaking had been done after the year had expired, it was yet before the notice of contest bad been served, School Report Roll of Iloaor.

One door west of Kramer's, Shell Creek Items. There can bo seen a lot of good sized carp frozen to death in Mr. lieurich's pond. He hopes that some live ones are iou, too. The bridge :tcro?s Shell Creek near Mr. H Ii3wi? 5 ti!l down. We wish ths: f.n ur xiiprrvisors would have 10 travel liit way thirty-eleven times every day ! The Platte CVntcritea are wide awake, they hhvo built a bridge across Shell Creek near Regan's thug facilitating, shortening and in viting tmvel to their town. No wonder they are toeliug encouraged, seveial (en pound babies having come to them lately, and that with the near prospect of another railroad they are getting heels under their boots and feeling quite big. Let Columbus look out for her laurels. Mr. Ueurich's sale was well attend ed and some supplied themselves with good bulls yet a few are left. One gentleman, Mr. Arthur Smith, had a thoroughbred knocked down to hitu at a low price. When the mistake was discovered Mr. H. would not revoke the sale, and Mr. Smith voluntarily raised the price to u:uke it eveu with the price of smother thoroughbred sold. It is refreshing to tee such dealing. A. Heinemauu aud C. de Wall are goiug to take possession of the great west. They have taken land some where this side of the Rockies and left one of their party there. We understand that hi9 reports are not very encouraging. Men buying cheap lands "out we-it" are often badly 6old themselves. Low market0, high prices tor necessaiies, high trixe lor roads, bridges, etc. make it very doubt:ul, if the cheap lands thcte will uot be very dear alter all. Well impmved lands in a country supplied with good roads, bridges, .-chool-houses, churches, railroads, markets will prove the cheapest in the cud. A surveying patty has been camp ing near Mr. Burrows for some time. They are at work upon the new rail road from Schuyler up Shell Creek by way o' Platte Center. This new road will leave Columbus to the left, it seems. Where are her wide-awake business men? Are they sound aslesp? To let Schuyler come up Shell Creek just think of it, while the U. P. had already for years a road from Columbus to a Shell Creek point, Platte Center. But while ColumhiH is asleep--the natives ot Shell ('nek are wide awake and inli of oaii.''Hluus aiiioiiy thPiu-elVt- Who will be the lucky man?
