Backus met with an accident Monday that he became cognizant of the next day bruise on his arm about as big as a handkerchief from the "kick" of his gun. "An entire now set of furniture for tho court house is what the people want," was the expression the other day of a farmer concerning the officers at the court house. - From Dr. Runner we learn that Mr. Fcnner's child at Humphrey was better last week, and that Mrs. Peters near Platte Center has been in a lethargy for nearly a week. -Prof. W.

A boy, getting out of a mud-puddle was philosopher enough to remark that most of tho troubles that mankind get into are not seen beforehand and many of them not heeded afterwards.

Series "B" of the Columbus Land Loan and Building association is about to lie opened and any one desiring to take stock or wanting information should call on the secretary, H. Hock enberger. Tho Supervisors' proceedings have occupied so much of our space lately that we were compelled to stop publish ing the essays of the High School graduating class, which wo will resume next week. At Marion Buchanan's (on Pat Hays's farm) is a splendid piece of corn being admirably attended by two boys, one with a cultivator the other with a hoe. Helpful children are an honor to their parents. "Cotton on a thousand hills and in a thousand valleys corn and wheat on a thousand plains; yet a million people go unclothed and hungry! My country men something must be wrong. Dr. John A. Brooks. Jacob Schram's dry-goods store was burglarized Thursday night, and some where between 8100 and $200 worth of goods stolen. No arrests. This house seems peculiarly subject to the depreda tions of tramps. To stockholders in series A of the Columbus Land, Loan & Building asso ciation, the directors would announce that at the regular weekly meeting Fri day night next, 8600 will be for sale to the highest bidder. Young men, (or old men) either at home or abroad, should not get so full (even on the Fourth of July) that they cannot tell whether the team they see is their own or another's, or whether they have any at all. H. T. Spoerry thinks if farmers would make it a rule to raise a greater variety of crops and also to spend less than they make each year, there would not be the anxiety there is about fore closure of mortgages. J. Scott of Alexis, Butler Co., has been notified of the allowance of his pension, 88.00 a month. He is one of the few veterans in this section of the state of the War with Mexico. John Elliott of this city is the only other one that we now remember. At a special meeting of the Board of Trade Thursday evening a committee was appointed to go to Omaha today to confer with U. P. officials on a matter of considerable interest to Columbus a new line of railroad which will give us another outline east and south. Miss Chambers, of Niobrara, who litis been visiting Miss Stella North of this city the past few days, returned to her home Saturday last, accompanied by Miss Stella. Miss Chambers formed many acquaintances while sojourning here who were sorry to see her leave. Wm. Bloodorn at Platte Center sells the Buckeye Self Binder, one of the very best machines made, and is having a rushing trade. On last Wednesday he sold five of these binders to farmers in the neighborhood, and his men were very busy all day putting the machines together. The address is admitted to have been one of the ablest ever delivered in Sherman on the subject of prohibition. It was listened to with the greatest at tention for two hours, the speaker often greeted with storms of applause. Mr. Brooks is truly without a peer as a lec turer in the cause to which he is devot ing his life. He has studied well the science of introducing amusing and side splitting incidents, always applied in his arguments. Sherman Democrat. Fitzpatrick's Foarth. Seeing that there was no concerted movement for celebrating the Fourth, E. D. Fitzpatrick, the enterprising news dealer, took it into his head to give the young folks a day, out of his own pocket; providing an excellent program, he had a host of them struck off at the Journal office and sent broadcast into the coun try. The festivities of the day began at 2 o'clock in the mornjng by the firing of salutes, which was kept up till daylight. Finer weather could not have been made to order than the morning and evening of the Fourth a little sultry about 2 o'clock. There was no accident or mishap that we heard of during the entire day and evening, for which Mr. Fitzpatrick and John Huber (who marshaled the day) may well congratulate themselves, for, at times, the boys were really high spirited. The prize for foot-ball was won by the West End crowd. The prize for the frog race and the sack race were both won by John Win kleman; the first foot-race was won by Geo. Salmon, the second by his brother Frank; the first prize for climbing the greased pole was reached by Otto Blautt, the second by Homer Tiffany, and the little fellows had a pretty hard half hour's work to reach the prizes. The exercises at the stand were of a high order of merit, Jesse Becher pre siding, Burke Bowman reading the dec laration and Willie Anderson delivering the address, and afterwards, on call, an appropriate recitation. All the exercises at the stand were by the youth, except the accompaniment at the organ by Miss Stockdell, and the presentation and other speeches by Capt. Hammond and H. J. Hudson, which were models of off-hand eloquence, fitting the occasion, and coming from the heart. The young ladies of the choir Misses Mary Henry, Clara Lehman, Phoebe Gerrard, Gracie Gerrard, Zura Morse, Nellie North, Elsie Morse, Stella Becher, Emma Wake, Minnie Meagher, Courtney Dale, did their part in rendering the national songs exceedingly well, and John Tannahill's presentation of a bou quet to each was a handsome, thought ful tribute. In the evening a race by boys six years old was won by Master Dussell, and the really fine display of fireworks in front of Fitz patrick's store was witnessed by hundreds and hundreds of pleased chil dren, some one, and some nigh four score years old, the other happy children all the way between. One incident of the evening was very agreeable to the boys who were conducting the display of fireworks: a balloon from the south (probably Bellwood or David City) came sailing over the town and descended about a block away. It was but h few moments until the boys had captured the trophy of the day and sent it up again, Moating off toward Oconee. Fitz's Fourth will long be remember ed in Columbus. We spent a few minutes in Platte Center last Wednesday, shaking hands with old-time acquaintances and making some new ones. Platte Center is a thriving, enterprising town, far ahead of many others no older than she is; her business men wear a pleasant smile, and are evidently pleased with their situa tion and prospects. They confidently expect the B. & M. road from Schuyler, and believe its coming will add very considerably to their commercial im portance. The Argus office, with its Washington press reminded us of old times, and surely a well-conducted pa per is one of the most important factors in the prosperity of a town. We are glad to note an improvement in the tone of the Argus, under Brother Saunders's management, very commendable indeed, less of opposition to Columbus and more of building up of Platte Center. Make the former the very least possible and the latter the greatest possible and your measure of success will be in ac cordance. We all have a right to life and the pursuit of happiness. The concert and literary entertain ment given Thursday evening under the directorship of Miss Mary AL Turner, was one of the pleasantest entertain ments we have attended in a very long time. We have not space this week to speak of it in full, as we should like to do; but we know that thoeo who wero there will gladly go again to hear the same programme, which we hope will be given 'when the weather will not be so threatening. Miss Mary is seldom en thusiastic, but she is unbounded in her admiration of the ladies and gentlemen who came out through the inclement weather to fill their part of the pro gramme. The entertainment, we may say briefly, was a grand success every way except financially, which may be attributed wholly to the threatening weather. U. S. R. R. Commission. This body of men stopped a few min utes at the U. P. depot Saturday morn ing, and examined Mayor North, ex Mayor Kramer, Hon. L. Gerrard, Paul Hagel and W. T. Ransdell. The exami nation was directed mainly to rates of shipment, each one giving his experience in the matter, Mr. Gerrard's testimony mainly concerning the rates furnished to the Packing Co. several years ago, and Ransdell's and Hagel's to rates on butter and eggs, while that of North and Kramer referred mainly to rates on grain, coal and merchandise, North say ing he never had any rebates. On the whole, the testimony as to the relations, generally, of the U. P. road to the people, was that they are better than under the former management, Dr. John A. Brooks, of Missouri, agent of the prohibition lecture bureau has been in our state several days and is delivering some rousing lectures. His address in the Hall of Representatives the night of the 19th inst was a master ly ono and well received by the large au dience who sat spell-bound by his fine oratory and overwhelming arguments against the entire liquor traffic We think the bureau has sent the right man to work up this district Chicago Lever. ll-4-2t Some of our town boyB went to Genoa Friday last to give the base ball nine of that place a little practice game previous to playing at Fullerton on the Fourth. We have not been able to in terview any of our players since their return, but a telegram from Genoa in formed us that the game resulted in a score of 32 to 4 in favor of the Gsnoaese. Weather Report. Review of the weather near Genoa for the month of June, 1887: Mean temperature of the month 72.07 Mean do some month Iatt year -? Highest temperature on the 6th W Lowest do on tho 23d " Ordinarily clear days 1JJ Very cloudy days High winds days 3 ('aim days Rain fell during portions of- -days J Inches of rainfall during month S Do for same month last year 3.-4 Thunder storms 12th, ISth, 19th, 30th. Frost Blight in low places on 23d. Although double the amount of rain has fallen the past month of any June for the past five years, yet we find persons complaining that it was too dry, such persons can have but a very faint conception of the volume of water con tained in 6 in. of rain, it being in round numbers over three gallon to the square foot or 677 tons, equivalent to nearly 13,000 gallons per acre. The city marshal of Lincoln has no tified "all gamblers, prostitutes and other persons without visible means of support or of uncertain character" to leave the city at once, or take the alter native of being put under arrest There seems a settled purpose in more than a few cities of the country to rid them selves of those elements of humanity that have caused the greatest evils and entailed the largest expense, making tho great cities sink-holes of vice and cor ruption. This we are glad to see, but we are not pleased that communities like Columbus should allow just such characters and just such businesses to exist and grow among them. There is no necessity for it. Mr. E. Buss last week sold to D. Anderson nine hogs weighing 3,340 lbs., averaging 371 lbs. and netting 8140.25. Let everybody raise hogs and corn which are the wealth of Hsiiraska. Corn and hogs are the business sovereigns through out the great northwest and Mr. An derson informs us that hogs raised in Nebraska are the "primest" and best in the United States, and the most sought after in evory market on the continent, many of them being shipped from South Omaha through to Boston and the sea board. Let every person in till pursuits of life in our prosperous and great young state, take courage at the present and future bright prospects before us. L. Gerrard's new dwelling houses being erected in the Third ward are well on towards completion, and will make handsome, convenient residences. Mr. Gerrard is entitled to no little commen dation for tho interest he is manifesting in city affairs, and we imagine if the cashier of the bank was at home, Mr. Gerrard's influence on improvements in tho city would bo still more strongly felt. Keep the ball moving. Cloned on Sunday. Hereafter, by a special agreement of the undersigned, our establishments will be open for business as late as 12 p. in. Saturday nights, and closed from that hour until Mondays. Get your shaving done on Saturday. Reynolds & Cium, Bunoe A: Floyd, Zinniker t Taylor, Fred. Hauter. Judge Speice, in the country lately, on the farm of a man who had consider able growing timber, inquired about fuel. Ho was shown a large pile of corn cobs with the remark that it wan the cheapest fuel a farmer could use no cash outlay, chopping, hauling or saw ing, and the Judge says he could readily see that to -tho Nebraska farmer fuel need be no bug-bear. Ed. Goetzinger returned Thursday last from Milwaukee, accompanied by his wife and child. Sunday they left for Helena, Montana, where Mr. G. takes the management of the soda water fac tory of Jergens, Price & Co. During his residence here Mr. G. has made many friends who will be sorry to hear of his departure, but always pleased to hear of his prosperity. J. E. Mitchell of Salem, la., has been in town several days planting Iu'b famous washing machines where they will do the most good. He went yes terday to Albion. From there he goes to Oakdale. Ho is an intelligent gentle man, and the machine which he has in vented, is a good solid piece of logic from beginning to end an argument in wood and iron. Prairie Dope. We publish elsewhere a communica tion from Isaiah Lightner in regard to the destruction of prairie dogs, and commend it to those who are pestered with these vermin. It speaks for itself, and we are obliged to Mr. Lightner for honoring the Journal with this piece of good news. Patents granted to citizenB of Ne braska, during the past week, and re ported expressly for the Journal by C. A. Snow & Co., patent lawyers, opp. U. S. Patent Office, Washington, D. C: J. G. Mark, Omaha, interchangeable account-tablet; L. P. Lindgren, Doniphan, glass tube cutter; W. G. Ingram, Oma ha, pen-holder. A. & M. Turner are Belling the Western Cottage Organ and Domestic Sewing Machine, both of which stand at the head of their class, and are guaran teed. G. W. Kibler and Willis Kibler are traveling salesmen; the latter is now canvassing tho city, and would be pleas ed to confer with those wanting organs or sewing machines. lOtf G. Stull, Esq., was in town Satur day and gave this office a very pleasant call on business. He speaks of the crops between this and his farm in Polk county as looking in splendid condition. Corn he never saw looking better; at Turner's place, on the Island, was about the best he had seen, much of it in silk. S. M. Reynolds and J. H. Craig, two enterprising young men recently of Omaha, have pnrchased the 12th street Chicago barber shop lately owned by Henry Woods, and are now ready for business. Their intention is to keep up the good reputation of the shop and will soon have bath tubs in running order. The American ideal of home is ut terly opposed to the presence of the bawdy-house and the gambler's den. They have no legal existence at all, either of them, and any man, immediate ly or remotely afflicted with either of the pests, can readily bring them to the bar of public justice. Enforce the laws. Notice ! All members of Engine Co. No. 1 are requested to meet at the engine house Wednesday evening, July 6th, at eight o'clock sharp. Business of importance to be transacted. By order of Committee. Shell Creek Items. Applications for our winter term of school are already coming in. Mr. and Mrs. Spurlock of Plattsmouth are visiting at Dr. Armstrong's. Mr. A. Henrich sold a good thorough bred young Durham bull to Mr. Paul Gertsh. Mr. Elliott has been hauling grain for many days to Platte Center, and so has David Thomas. The bridge across Shell Creek near Mr. R Lewis's is still down. Where do our taxes go? Miss Sarah Ranz of Fremont is visit ing with her sister Mrs. Seefeld, on Wm. Bloedorn's farm. The recent rains had made the road near Mr. M. Bloedorn's impassable. It needs grading very much. Our cousins across tho creek in Bur rows township havo placed tho structure of a small bridge in the ravine near Mr. Moriarty's but have not filled up tho ap proaches. Hurry up! Tho caterpillars are destroying many native plum orchards and a good many forrest trees. A boy with a torch could do splendid service in destroying them. No danger of prairie fires now. Mr. Mockmore on Mr. Henrich's farm has a cat that has caught eighteen gophers in four days and that besides the rats and mice. Mr. H. would not take 85 for her, but he will pay 85 for ridding his farm of prairie dogs. No work, however, allowed on the Lord's day. . Several men in this neighborhood havo lost good colts this spring. There seems to be some trouble also in the pig lino this season, many sows bringing only very few live pigs, others all dead ones, and still others took it into their hogish heads to die, themselves, while pigging. There is not a more pleasant conntry residence than that of Mr. A. Henrich. The house though small is comfortable and roomy and nestled in a beautiful grove of shade, ornamental and fruit trees, shrubs, small fruit and garden everything kept snug and nice by in dustrous Mrs. H. Platte Center is on a boom. Some of the most enterprising merchants of Co lumbus tiro branching out to the Center and prominent citizens from there come to see and be seen. They have a mar shal and will soon have a prison and a brick school-house, and who knows what all. Let Columbus look out for her laurels and hurry up else this young giant will indeed become the Center. X. Y. Z. TWO GOOD GIRLS. The Girl Who Helps her Mother aud the One Who Helps Herself. There is a girl, and I love to think of her anil talk of her, who comes in lato when there is company, who wears a pretty little air of mingled responsibility and anxiety with her youth, whom the others seem to depend on and look to for many comforts. She is the girl who helps her mother. In her own home she is a blessed little saint sind comforter. She takes unfinished tasks from the tired, stiff figure that falter at their work; her strong young fingers is a staff upon the gray haired, white faced moth er leans nud is rested. She helps mother with the spring sewing, with the week's mending, with a cheerfnl con versation and cougenial companionship that some girls do not think worth while wasting on only mother. And when there comes a day when she must bend, as girls must often bend over tho old wornout body of mother lying un hecdfiil in her coffin, rough hands fold ed, her long disquiet merged in rest, something very sweet will bo mingled with her loss, and tho girl who helped her mother will find a benediction of peace upon her head and in her heart. Tho girl who works God bleBs her! is another girl whom I know. She is brave and active. She is not too proud to earn her own living, or ashamed to be catight at her daily task. She is studi ous, and pains-taking, and patient She smiles at you from behind counter or desk. There is a memory of her sown in each silken gown. She is like a beauti ful young mountaineer already far up the hill, and tho Bight of her should bo a fine inspiration for us all. It is an honor to know this girl to be worthy of her regard. Her hand may be stained with factory grease or printer's ink but it is an honest hand and a helping hand. It stays misfortune from many homes; it is the one shield that protects many a forlorn little family from the almshouse and asylum. Catharine Cole. Monroe Item. Mrs. I. L. Hoopes is visiting friends in this vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Miller visited Stearns's Prairie last week. Joseph Solack has returned from Dakota, and we hear rumors of a wed ding in the near future. A horse belonging to Sam'l Alexander got out of the stable ono night last week and was found in the morning tangled in the barbed wire fence; it was quite badly cut by the wire. We learn that the prohibitionists talk of a lady candidate for County Superintendent of schools. We see no objection, as they have been tried in eastern states, and are found to make very efficient offcers, and in nearly every case wholly devoted to the interests of the schools. Among those spoken of for the position in this county, is Miss Emma Bauer of Columbus. Come, ladies, lay asido your fancy work and prepare your political speeches. Wo think yon will succeed. What say the voters of Platte County? T. D. X. Uncle Samuel's mail boys were too 6lov with this letter, which should have reached us in time for last week's Journal. Dave Loeb leaves Saturday next for Chicago, where he goes to engage in business on his own account We have known David these many years and always found him honorable in ever' respect, and the Journal family with his numerous friends here wish him a large measure of success. Wm. Bloedorn at Platte Center has one of the largest establishments in the county for the sale of farm machinery, and does a very lively business.
