- His Honor J. E. North went around
the first of the week with his right eye
bandaged having had it struck by flying
real estate during the storm Saturday.
The Lincoln Journal struck it
pretty well in attributing the sand
clouds Saturday to Kansas dry weather
and the wind blowing strongly from
The Sunny Soata.
A. M. Jennings, who returned Satur
day week from the "sunny south," sub
mitted to the reporter's pump with the
following result Ho had gone as far
toward the equator as Fort Smith, Ark.,
which point he reached January 9th.
There was a white frost that morning,
and, although it had been colder a few
days before, the robins, red-birds, and in
fact all kinds of warm-season birds,
ipre "whoopin' it up," lively. This
seemed a little strange, as only a very
few days before, he had left here with
the thermometer groveling at 20 below
zero. Mr. Jennings thinks the south a
pretty good country for farm work,
where a man can raise what he uses, in
cluding the hogs which literally take
care of themselves, living on acorns and
running wild in the woods until near
butchering time and then being pam
pered a little for the knife. A man's
fuel in that country don't cost much
to begin with, he don't have very severe
weather to fight against, and besides,
good oak wood caq be got at $1.90 a
cord, and coal at $1.00 and $1.50 a ton.
When asked what kind of a country it
was for mechanics, his brief answer was,
"No good." The trouble seems to be
that there is little money in the country.
Among other odd things that Mr. J.
speaks of during his trip is a town in
Barton county, Mo., called Liberal,
which is four or five years old, with a
population of 1,000, has no officer and
has never had, except a recorder of
deeds, and has never had either a church
or a saloon.
The Old and the New.
The old council adjourned si tie die
last Saturday evening, the last act being
a motion by Councilman North that the
thanks of the retiring council be ten
dered to Mayor Carl Kramer for the able
and impartial manner in which he had
presided over the deliberations of the
council. This was the handsome thing
to do, and was but justice to Mayor
Kramer. The late council, including
Ragatz and Lockner and North, will
long be remembered by citizens of Co
lumbus, as holding the reins during a
very important epoch, and doing their
duty well.
The new council elected E. D. Fitz
patrick as their president, and the Jour
nal hoies that city affairs will have the
full and fair attention of council men
elect, and that the end of the year may
see Columbus in even better situation
than at present.

Probably Nebraska never saw a day

Last week, the well known barber,
Henry Woods, was adjudged insane, and
was taken to the insane asylum at Lin

his friends could indulge the hope that
his mental aberration was only tempo

ably the worst temporal misfortune that
could befall a reasoning creature, and
Mr. Woods and family have the heart
felt sympathy of all their acquaintances
After completing work on Martin
Meyer's dwelling-house, Nick Blaser ex
pects to take a trip to the old country,
to be gone until September, and he has
promised to write to the readers of the
Joubnaij his impressions of the old
world, after an absence of twenty years
in America. Mr. Blaser has been a very
faithful, hard-working man, in all these
years never idling his time awav. He
deserves not only this respite from
business, but many another, and his
many warm friends will wish him a
pleasant visit and a safe return.
At Van Alstine & Lingner's meat
market may be seen quite a curiosity,

dime museum, or sell out to some es
tablished institution of that kind.
Spencer Campbell, from whom the
chicken was purchased, when told about
the freak of nature, remarked, "If I had
known dat chicken had three legs you
couldn't hab bought him for one dollah;
no, sah!"

We succeeded last week in "running
down" Mr. Clark, but. did not find space
then to publish our interview, and can
only now give a very brief summary
of the full accouut of affairs that we had
from him.
They traveled nearly all the time thoy
were there, determined to see and to
know fully as much as possible in the
time of their sojourn. Notwithstanding
the reports of their early season, they
saw no grass that a cow could graze on
except in one little valley near the
ocean. The explanation of this was that
mis nau oeen one oi tneir dry years
no rain to speak of during the winter.
We notice that, although they claim to
be able to cut five crops of alfalfa a
year, (and this is their grass), alfalfa
was selling at $25 a ton. Condensed
milk is used a great deal, and it is
"measly stuff;" butter is worth 75 cents
sometimes reaching $1.50; the best Hour
costs S3 a cwt.; eggs are 30 cents to 60
cents a dozen.
Their water is not near so good as
ours, an oi it being warmer. Tlie pur
est and liest water they bad at Colton,
from an artesian well. Ice is almost an
unknown quantity there, being sold
about as drugs are here, in very small
quantities, and so high that very few
can afford the luxury.
CARLSBAD,
where Schutte, Wadsworth, Smith and
Richards are interested. Mr. Clark
thought one of the very nicest sites they
saw for a large city and a good health
resort. The peculiar turn of the coast
and the general conformation of the
surface of the country thereabouts,
makes a splendid view of the ocean and
inland, while valleys both north and
south operate as immense funnels,
through which the heavy mists and fogs,
universal everywhere else near the sea
level, are drawn aside from Carlsbad.
Beside the Columbus gentlemen named
above, who are more or less interested
in Carlsbad, is Mr. Frazier, the original
proprietor who, by the way, married the
widow of Bart. Hunt, formerly of this
city. An investment of $8,(M)0, they have
already sold $32,000 worth of lots, and
this not one-tenth of their purchase.

Anton Heitkemper, we learn, will

this city. Columbus is an excellent
distributing point for any wholesale
business, and home tradesmen should

here, but just give us a deck of fifty-two with a
liigh, low, jack, and the game on the sunny side
of a hay-stack with our children and small
brothers looking on and we can enjoy ourselves
all day Sunday. That's right. Train np a child
in the way he should go and he will not depart
from it.'"

Fred. Reimer, who has been on quite
an extended southern visit, returned to

health. The climate of the southern
states is very fine, but take it all in all,
Nebraska is good enough for him. His

yet, visiting her friepds.

Boone L'oauty's Last Tragedy.
St. Edward, April 8, 1887.
Ed. Journal: Whiskey has again got
in its work in this community, and the
result is one of our neighbors, Warren
Long, was laid away in his grave to-day,
and Ed. Carr, his whiskey-crazed as
sailant, will be tried for his life at the
next term of court to be held at Albion.
The following are the circumstances
connected with the tragedv. Our vil
lage election took place Tuesday last,
and as the day advanced, Carr began to
fill up with liquor and along toward
evening began to be abusive. Some
where about 9 or 10 o'clock Mr. J. C.
Vizzard. proprietor of the Fremont
House, who was attending the an
niversary party of our P. M, H. A.
Shaffer, being held at Hardy's Hall, was
informed that Carr and a companion
were trjing to get into the hotel to at
tack some one. Mr. Vizzard came down
and taking- in the situation at a glance
promptly knocked Carr down and threw
him off of the sidewalk. Carr im
mediately got up and said he would fix
Vizzard and asked one or two of the
bystanders to let him have a gun; being
refused and remonstrated with, seemed
only to increase his anger and he finallv
said he knew where he could find a gun
and started in the direction of his em
ployer's office; here, he secured Mr. Wei
ker's shot gun and returned and, his not
finding Mr. V. seemed to enrage him still
more. William Blecher told him to put
the gun away or he might shoot some
one and the answer came promptly,
"Shut your month or I will shoot you,"
at the same time raising the cocked gun
in a threatening manner. Mr. B., see
ing that he was in earnest and meant
mischief, quietly stepped to one side;
others were threatened in the same way;
finally, Mr. Long came up and seeing
Carr with the gun said in a quiet way,
"I am going home, and Ed., you had
better put that gun away and go home
too." Carr repeated the threat that he
had made to Blecher and others and
Long, apparently thinking he was not
in earnest, stopped with the evident in
tention of pleading still further, when
Carr raised the gun, fired, and Long
fell. He then lowered the muzzle of
the gun, looked at his victim a few
moments and walked off leisurely, oc
casionally looking over his shoulder to
see if he was being pursued. Long was
immediately carried into the hotel parlor
and in ten minutes he breathed his last.
The charge of shot had struck him
squarely on the chin in front, and had
become imbedded in his head, throat
and neck. Sheriff Daniels and Coroner
Clark were notified and about 4 o'clock
in the morning arrived at St. Edward,
The Bheriff found Carr in his bed at the
elevator office, and when requested to
get up, and surrender for the crime of
killing Long, he claimed he knew noth
ing about it, didn't remember 6eeing
Long, etc. The coroner's jury rendered
a verdict that Long came to his death
by being shot by Carr, and that the
murder was willful. Mr. Long leaves a
wife who is expected to become a mother
at any moment.
His brother of this neighborhood E.
D. and Winfield S. of Chariton, Iowa,
and his sister Mrs. Jos. Reynoldson of
Plum Creek were present at the last
sad rites, and to see his poor, aged father
and mother at his grave to-dav bowed
down with grief over the loss of their
first born was a spectacle of sadness that
caused many to Bhed tears. One result
of the sad affair is that many who have
been in favor of a licensed saloon in St.
Edward have come forward and said,
"No, this is enough; we will deal with
the cause hereafter instead of granting a
license. It is far easier to prevent crime
by stopping the cause than it is to deal
with it after the crime has been com
mitted.
The writer has never been a pro
hibitionist, honestly thinking that it
some way deprived a iierson of some of
his inalienable rights, but I now lielieve
that one of the most sacred rights we
have is the right to defend ourselves
against crime, and the germs of crime
that lurk in every drop of liquor that is
manufactured. This is a fact that will
be admitted by every intelligent person,
regardless oi their previous views on
license or prohibition. To say that lie
cause drug stores and .so-called tem
perance billiard halls will sell on the
sly and that it is better to have a licensed
saloon is all folly.
In some parts of the country rattle
snake oil sells at a good price. Suppose
a man in order to make money easy
withqut any very hard wprk waa to start
3 rattlesnake farm in town and tell na
the snakes were perfectly harmless if we
only kept out of their way, we would
wo
the
object of course, but just think or him
and his friends trying to get a license on
the plea that the license money would
help educate our children, and if the
snaKes KUleil any of our children
could indulge in law suit with"
snake-hatcher. I tell you there are
some things that money can't pay Tor.
It cau never pay for a murdered hus
band, a father, a son, a brother, and
ruined households. One murdered
father cannot be paid for with idl the
I money that has ever been made by the
saie or all tne liquor that has been sold
sinco the vile stuff has been manufac
tured. If it was your father, husband,
son or brother, wouldn't you think so,

Ed. Columbus Journal: The fol
lowing article has been furnished the
Democrat for publication. As he may
be delicate about inserting it, I furnish
you a' copy, supposing that you woidd
not like to see him deprived of the lmii-
efit of the article from such cause.
Respectfully,

"Ed. Columbus Democrat : By an
article in yours of the 8th inst., I find
that yon are much exercised over my re
marks with reference to your former
article entitled 'Prohibition in Kansas.'
In those remarks I took occasion to say
that possibly you might be correct from
your standpoint, though, after reading
the law of Kansas, I find that vou were
miHinformed in retjard to the facts.
lerhaps your conclusions in vonr last
article, regarding myself as" Trohib-
monisi, may be ifentlenmnlv n.l
courteous (from your standpoint), and
possibly there may be some compensa
tion for my being accused of running a
democratic annex in that (7jro hundred
dollars worth o.y;xtr' from vonr stand
point), and possibly you mav be misin
formed as to these facts. -1 believe pro
hibition is coming. I believe it to be
right .and best for our people, and that
it will not lie very much or long delaved
by either your article on prohibition in
Kansas or your compliments to mvself
. t'ruuiuuiuinsi. as l do not happen
to edit a paper and was not informed
that you could not lienrwithequuniinitv
the suggestion that you, like Gov. Mar
tin of Kansas and other great men
might change your mind upon a longer
acquaintance with the subject, or even
of the value or that space, if it icas the
best part of the paper. I hope you
will publish this as a full vindi
cation of yourself and a fair warn
ing that Prohibitionist is dead, haviii"
inadvertently come within range or a
