John McMahon has secured a lucra tive position with the C. B. k Q. R. R. as t nicer of cars. We have no doubt John will make a good one, and wo are glad to note his good luck. A boy, giving his name as Geo. Smith and claiming Fremont as his home, was sentenced by Judge Speice to tho reform school at Kearney for seven years. His crime was theft. We notice by a late number of the Cheyenne Tribune that a small store house occupied by Marshall Smith 4 Co. was destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of S200. It contained coal and hay. We have received a copy of the premium list of the fair to be held at Schuyler September 21, 22, and 23. The work was done at the Herald office and reflects credit on that institution. The Chicago yeast powder is guar anteed to be as good as the best Give it a trial. If it is not as claimed the money will be refunded. Price 25 cents per pound can. John Heitkemper. Jaeggi & Schupbach say that if busi ness men on Eleventh street do not wish their lumber sheds in front of their houses, they will sell them. There is a syndicate talked of for their purchase. Jffiggi & Schupbach are erecting their incandescent light line of posts and wire, and will soon be ready for busi ness. Another mile-post in the progress of Colnmbus. H. J. Hudson received word Thurs day from the government that there was due him as postmaster in 1868 $124.38. An appropriation will be necessary be fore he can be paid. Oliver k Turrill go to Albion this week with their large stock of goods. They make a specialty of very low prices, and have been honorable dealers here. We expect to see them back hero again. A Georgia paper gives G. R. Nun nelly ("Antelope Dick") formerly of this place, great praise as an orator, speaking for temperance, and says he reaches a plane of eloquence rarely at tained. P. W. Hess has, we learn, been en gaged to take charge of the Indian school at Genoa. He has quite a repu tation in this county as a teacher, and will, no doubt, give satisfaction in his new position. O. F. Davis, an old settler of Omaha, widely known to the people of the state, died at Waukesha, Mich., June 4th. Ho was at one time land commissioner of the Union Pacific R. R. Co., and was an excellent man and citizen. At Wahoo the ladies are determined to rid the town of the houses of pros titution that are disgracing it The Wasp trusts they will be successful and that they will have the hearty co-operation of the city authorities. The broad smile that has encircled the good-natured face of our friend A. F. Morrison the past week is accounted for by the fact that his wife and chil dren have arrived in Columbus and will make this their future home. A suit is in contemplation to re cover back the property south of the new U. P. depot and on which is located lumber yards, etc., on the ground that the laud is not being used for legitimate railroad purposes, and for which it was deeded. Jas. H. Sherwood and wife, who for several years have resided in Bellwood, left Thursday for Columbus, where they intend hereafter to reside. Mr. and Mrs". Sherwood take with them the good wishes of a large number of friends. -Gazette. Rov. Dr. Tanner of Minn., visited Fullerton last week. His daughter, Mrs. H. Percrval, was one of the persons mysteriously murdered three years ago. He says that numerous clues have been run down, always resulting in disap pointment Wednesday IaBt was a good day for prairie dogs. The rain of Tuesday night gave the boys a supply of water, and thoy dug trenches to the holes of the dogs and began capturing them. The Distlehorst boys were the monopolists of tho day, catching sixteen. The premium list for the Platte County fair to be held Sept 27,28,29 and 30 is now ready for the printers, and tho Association gives notice to all parties desiring to offer spceial pre miums that they will be pleased to pub lish tho same. G. W. Phillips, secy. Some city papers are making a raid on street blackguards, who swear, use offensive language, etc. The Chicago Mail says "A few striking examples of speedy and severe punishment meted out to the wretches would have a most salu tary effect upon the foul-mouthed fellows." Messrs. Boettcher k Kersenbrock have leased the McMahon business property now occupied by them in their hardware business for two years and eight months, at the end of which, Mc Mahon says he will erect a three-story brick, forty-four feet front on his two business lots. J. N. Heater came home Thursday from a flying trip through Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. In the west half of Kansas, owing to the severe dry weather of the early season, he says that not one acre out of forty sown, will be harvested; in the eastern part of Kan sas, and on to St Louis, all crops look good. The soaking rains of last week lowered the dirt over the water mains iu many parts of the city, making it un safe to drive over them. There have probably been a dozen cases of accident, more or less dangerous, and if the city does not soon move in the matter there will doubtless be some suits against her for damages. The News remarked a short time ago that the Union Pacific road couldn't successfully buck a cattle trail. By way of verification of that assertion, we wish to state that an enterprising dairyman is "doing up" that road by hauling freight between Platte Center and Co lumbus for 13 cents a hundred while the railroad charges 50 cents a hundred. Norfolk News. Wednesday night last a tramp en tered the round house when the men were outside working, and Btole a coat belonging to Lewis Johnson, and his lunch also. The coat contained some letters and an account book, but the tramp made way with them. He was captured Thursday night by a couple of the boys that work in the coal chutes and taken to jail. The Journal job department is pre pared to furnish, on short notice, all kinds of commercial work such as letter heads, note heads, bill heads, statements, circulars, envelopes, cards, dodgers, pos ters, etc; visiting cards; lawyers' briefs; pamphlets; catalogues; sale bills, etc. Satisfaction guaranteed. Orders by mail promptly attended to. Address, M. K. Turner & Co., Columbus, Nebr. It is as absolutely impossible for a teacher to satisfy all as it is for an editor to do so, and, as a rule, the poor country pedagogue is used as a foot-ball for chronic kickers and fault finders. It is evident that Prof. Moncrief has given as little cause for just complaint as any principal employed by our school board since the days that Johnnie Gray run a circus in the Genoa school room. Leader. Let every man who has the slightest interest in Columbus talk and work con tinually for its welfare; every little helps; every good word tells; every im provement, little or big, counts; every enterprise adds; thus Columbus can soon become a city of 5,000 souls, and every foot of land within her borders be doubled in value, at least, and every farm within five miles enhanced in worth. A continuous, substantial at tention to these few truths will be worth thousands. ' PLATTE COUNTY SOLDIERS.

Yesterday morning at about 2 o'clock Dr. Martyn, thinking he heard some one raising a window to gain an entrance to his residence, arose and went to the window, whence he thought the noise came, but finding it all right, went back to bed thinking he had been dreaming. On rising in the morning he discovered that during the night some person or persons had entered the house, ransacked some clothing, but took nothing of value. On examining the tracks in the morning it was found that one wore miniature horse-shoes on the boot heels, the only clue to Iba burglars. The entrance was made from the south side of the dwelling, and it is a jjity the Dr. did not go in that direc tion upon first rising, and meet them wish a dose of cold lead. j Coancil Proceedings.

The Jodknal would like to see the railway in opera tion at tho earliest possible moment, be lieving that it will be a good thing for the city. Wo do not beliovo that, from the start, it will pay a handsome div idend to stock-holders; in timo it will doubtless do that, but, liko many other matters of public interest, it will liolp to place the city even with the times in which we live, and with our big mills, our waterworks, our electric lights, and, may hap, our natural gas, Columbus will be found "equal to tho lest and excelled by none." Columbus owes a good deal to the men in whose braius these projects originated, and who, if thoy keep right along, will be able to briug them to a successful issue. Jewell-3Iyent. The Richmond (III.)

The wedding took place at tho resi dence of tho bride's parents, in the presenco of a large and brilliant com pany, Rev. Harbaugh oiliciating. 'The bride was dressed in a hand some traveling suit of gray, and the groom appeared in a neat suit of black of conventional style. The bride, al ways a handsome lady of charming man ners and winning ways excelled in all these graces on her wedding day.

These copious rains have produced a marked change in crops of all kinds. During tho recent rain, lightning struck the granary of O. D. Butler, rip ping a board off tho side and scattering the shingles about the barn yard, but did no further damage. There was a meeting of the officers of Bismark Township for the purpose of equalizing taxes on the 4th. We were unable to find out what action the board took, but are sure that they did their work well. Died, Thursday, June 10th, of asthma, Mrs. Grundcr, aged 66 years. The de ceased was an old resident of this county and respected by all who knew her. The funeral took place from her home at 10 o'clock Friday morning. A large con course of mourners assembled, to follow the body to its last resting place, in Co lumbus cemetery. Charles. - The managers of the Lake and Park Association are men who are sure to make a success of their undertaking, if money and perseverance count for anything. The trouble so far has been a deficiency in the water supply, the hydraulic nun stationed at Stevens's lake apparently not doing tho work ex pected of it. The management have now decided to sink drive wells near their grounds in sufficient number to supply anyamount of water, which will be thrown into the lake by means of a steam engine. The necessary machinery has been ordered and is expected to ar rive here any day, when work will com mence in earnest. The Joubnal believes the management have struck tho right vein at last and hopes tho new arrange ment will meet the most sanguine ex pectations of the association. This en terprise completed will le a most excel lent thing for the city. M. S. Reid and Wm. Tyrrell return ed Thursday evening from a two weeks' trip by wagon into west Nebraska. They went as far as Callaway, 30 miles west of Broken Bow, and saw some sec tions of country that thoy thought very desirable. Matt, says that west of St Paul is as fine a stretch of country as he ever saw. Custer county which was only a few years ago, thought by many to be totally unfit for agriculture, has many fine farms. Land close to Broken Bow is held at 820 to 850 an acre. Hjuopntm of Ike Proceeding of (he Beard of ftapervteera. Columbus. June 7, 1887.
