The bee-keepers can look forward to an interesting time at tho state fair. There will be two evening meetings, Wednesday and Thursday. John Rickly, Esq., was reported very sick yesterday morning.

Backus was stationed at second base in a game of ball played at North Platte Thursday last between the club of that place and the Lincoln league nine. George Truman believes that hay will be an extra good price this winter. Everything goes to indicate it now; dealers cannot bale fast enough to sup ply the market. Sunday evening last Miss F. E. White of Pennsylvania lectured at the Congregational church on the effects of alcoholic drinks, to a large and very at tentive audience. Owing to tho inclement weather the Thompson entertainment was not very well attended Wednesday evening last. The audience seemed well pleased with the performance. The Leigh Advocate is authority for the statement that Win. P. Suttle, of Humphrey Democrat, has sold out his interest in the same and will go west and grow up with the country. The Humphrey Independent says that Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, who figured here in a suit lately for tbe custody of their child, "are living very happily to gether in their Creston home." A special train of seventeen cars, loaded with tea, en route from San Francisco to New York passed here tho other day. The run from Grand Island to Omaha was made in four hours. Traveling tinker to lady of the house "Have you a sewing machine that needs repairing?" Lady "I have a Domestic" The tinker moves on im mediately, saying "It is a good machine."

Brodfuehrer expects to go to Omaha about the 6th of uext month. The Journal is very sorry to seo Mr. B. and family leave Columbus, but wishes him abundant success in his new field of business. Speice & North recently sold the Woolworth ranch near Fullerton to Rice & Short of Illinois for 830,000. It included 500 acres of land, 5,000 held under lease, 700 head of cattle, and im provements on land. C. R. Virgin, state agent of St. Paul fire and marine insurance company, was in the city Monday and adjusted the loss on the Methodist church spire, that was struck by lightning on the 20th insL, amount of loss 894.85. The case of the State vs. James McDonald for perjury involving some very peculiar legal points was heard before Justice Cowdery, resulting in the holding of McDonald to the Dis trict Court in the sum of 8500. W. H. Roberts is authorized to take orders for the delivery of the Marak Ra diator to customers in Columbus City and Township. The Radiator is guar anteed to save fuel, or no pay. Place your orders at once. 19tf Haul & Tubnkb. The Joubnal family is under ob ligations to Sanford Shafer near Ben ton, for the finest specimens of corn and cucumbers that we have seen this season. We certainly agree with him in reference to the election of a Republi can for president next year. Louis Schwarz, of the firm of Ernst & Schwarz, this city, was at Creston Monday of this week at a plow contest. He was jubilant on his return as their plow, the Tricycle, came out ahead with flying colors, and the winning plow was sold on the ground to J. A. Fulton. C. H. Sheldon last Saturday deliver ed to George Wtllard 161 fat cattle, av eraging 1476 pounds; 99 of them were Colorado stock, and 62 of them natives, They were a fine lot, fed since April last on grass and soaked corn. Mr. Sheldon believes in summer feeding. The subject at the Congregational church Sabbath evening, September 4th, will be the seventh commandment, Gen. xx 14. Get down your Bibles, you who have not consulted them for a long time, read the commandment and come and hear what is to be said. You are cordially invited. E. J. Baker's daughters recently presented to the Presbyterian church of this place a handsome memorial pulpit, in remembrance of their mother, a mem ber of tho congregation in her life-time. A grateful deed by daughters of a moth er, the remembrence of whom will be a blessing to them all their lives. W. A. McAllister, Esq., showed us Monday a fine specimen of mica from a mine in which his nephew, John Mc Allister, has a third interest The mine is located near Virginia City, Montana. Mica is a very valuable mineral, and if it is found in large quantities in this mine, young John has a valuable property. At the Republican Central Com mittee meeting last week Columbus was represented only by one delegate, and that one Columbus representative moved that the Republican Convention should be held at Platte Center, but our country cousins preferred to meet at Columbus during our fair week. Generosity all around. The second game of base ball be tween the Grand Pacific and Clother House attaches took place at the grounds in the southern part of the city Sunday afternoon last, and resulted in a victory for the Clother team by the score of 58 to 16. The third game for the championship will probably take place shortly. The Indian school at Genoa, re ceived Monday an addition of 27 chil dren, 13 girls and 14 boys; all belonging to tho Omaha tribe, whose reservation is located in the northeastern part of the state, and on the Missouri river. They were in charge of two Winnebagos, who had received their education at the Gov ernment schools at Carlisle and at Genoa. Mr. Connor, electrician and super intendent of the Brush system of incan descent electric lights that have just been put into operation by the Schroe der Bro's., and giving such excellent satisfaction to our citizens, returned to Cleveland, O., on Thursday, taking with him his gang of workmen, to Knoxville, Iowa, where they are about to put in a plant of the Brush system. "Billy" Jones, while running a foot race Saturday night tripped and fell heavily to the ground and was pretty badly hurt by a large pipe that he car ried in one of his hip pockets. He was taken to his home in a wagon and an ex amination by Dr. C. D. Evans revealed the fact that no bones were broken, but it will be some time before ho will be able to do heavy work again. The city council have passed an or dinance imposing a tax of 815 a day on the sale of all dry goods and clothing shipped into the city, and sold at auc tion. This is a right move for the pro tection of our business men, who bear the burden of our taxes and contribute to our improvements, as against these peregrinating Arabs who by glib tongues and specious speeches capture the dol lars that legitimately belong to our merchants. As the organ of the democratic par ty in Platte county, the Democrat of this city seems to be at variance with the organ at Lindsay, and to dispute tho honors with the Argus of Platte Center. Just where the Humphrey or gan comes in we don't know. It will doubtless appear further along in the campaign. There is more than a little inclination among the camp-followers of old Platte to doubt the good judg ment of the Democrat in conducting a campaign at least a nominating .cam paign. Wednesday evening of last week Michael Abts, switchman in the U. P. yards of this city, met with an accident which, but for a very quick movement on his part, would have resulted in his death. While switching cars at Schroe der Bro's. mill he was running on top of box cars and just about the time he reached the car that had been cut loose, the engine stopped suddenly and not having time to check his speed he leaped into space and struck the ground with a heavy thud, and although pretty badly injured he had presence of mind enough to roll off the track be fore the backing train struck him. His feet and legs are badly swollen and he bus been confined to the house since the accident, but will soon be himself again. It was certainly a close call. The editor of the Democrat refers to the editor of the Journal as a "paleontologist," which means "one versed in the science of ancient beings or creatures." We suppose that we shall be compelled, in the interests of the public, to assume the position of tutor to our very, very young friend. We had all along been congratulating ourself that our function as tutor of our Co lumbus cotemporaries might be kept in abeyancerbnt we see plainly that youth ful indiscretion needs a check occa sionally, and that while much gentle ness is always commendable in the tutor, he must yet be firm in laying down the principles of eternal truth binding alike upon infants as upon the aged. Some truths are nauseous, but, like medicines, are sometimes very nec essary, and they must be applied even if the patient squeals or kicks. It is often a pure relief to infants to exercise their lungs, eke their legs, to their utmost bent, provided they hurt nobody. PERSONAL. G. W. Kibler of Leigh is in the city. Wm.Ripp of Humphroy was in town Monday. Mayor North went to Omaha Monday morning. Phil. Bender of Humphrey was in town Monday. Clarence Gerrard was at Lost Creek a portion of last week. Larry Rossiter was looking around town Monday morning. G. Heitkemper of Hastings was in town several days last week. Miss Lena Heimbach of Genoa was a guest at Wm. Lamb's last week.

L Robison,of the Humphrey In dependent was in the city Wednesday last Capt John Hammond of Grand Is land Sundayed at his old home in this city. Editor Saunders was down from the Center Saturday and called at this office. Miss Emma Hoehen has returned from her 2 months visit to relatives in the east E. V.

Mrs. C. remains in the city another week, the guest of Mrs. Judge Bowman. Jimmy D. Frank of Silver Creek made us a visit yesterday. He is as high toned a fellow as ever emanated from Northern Missouri Mrs. G. W. Phillips is entertaining for a few days, two daughters, Emma aud Nettie, of Mrs. Wilkerson of Blair, cousins of Mr. Phillips. Charley Whitbeck, the genial baggage agent for the U. P. at this place has re turned from a trip to Colorado and is at his post of duty again. D. W. Crawford of Wisconsin was in the city Monday.

Thurston urrived here on Friday afternoon and was sent on a special train to Norfolk, where he ad dressed the re-union of the G. A. R of North Nebraska. " Miss Maggie Denneen arrived in the city Monday from Omaha, where uhe has been visiting friends for tho past month. She is the guest at present of Miss Mollie Brady of this city. Dr. Guillemot, formerly of this city, now of Cedar Rapids, Boone county, lately returned from a visit to his native country Franco. He is more than ever in love with America and especially Nebraska. H. H. Hewitt and family of Rising had a very pleasant time visiting friends in Columbus recently. We don't see that Time has added any furrows or wrinkles to Henry's pleasant countenance in the last five years. Rev. St. Clair attended the soldiers' re-union at Norfolk last week. The Elder did good service for his country in time of peril and he enjoyed himself mingling with his old comrades, at Camp Fire, where he made a speech. Mr. and Mrs. Win. Speice returned yesterday morning from California, where they have been several months. The climate of southern California, we learn, was not agreeable to Mrs. Speice. Mr. Speice looks as fresh as a daisy. Ed. Graham of Creston was in town Saturday. The mill which he is erect ing is expected to be ready for business about the middle of the month. It will be a great accommodation to that part of the county, and add very materially to tho welfare of Creston. C. W. Hollingshead of Monroe was in town Monday and replenished the Journal exchecquer for subscription. He says the farmers will take a lively interest in county politics this fall and the "boodle" campaigner must not ply his trade, or take the consequence of de feat Harry Cressman, formerly of this city, now of Reading, Pa., arrived in the city Wednesday evening last and will remain a couple of weeks, the guest of H. P. Coolidge's family. He resided here some ten or twelve years ago, but has visited Nebraska at intervals of every two or three years. His many friends here will . be pleased to greet him. Thursday last business called us to J. R. Smith's, three miles northwest of Oconee. We had bnt a few minutes to stay, and so our note of Mr. Smith's farm is very meager, indeed. The site is a very pretty one, not too monotonous, and not to rough. Off to the south the Loup like a flowing ribbon winds and shines; to the eastward Columbus ap pears when the reather is fine, and in the nearer view lies the rich valley of the Loup, extending for miles. Mr. Smith came here from Hlinois in 1880, and has invested in a section of land which cost him 85,250 and which is well worth today 820,000. His sons Geo. C. and Henry L. have each been given a quarter section, but the machinery of the place is held in common and the work done by all for the good of each. We have noticed that, though they have 360 acres under the plow, they drive their work before them, having plenty of good horses to do the work easily. Their farm products have been mostly wheat, oats, barley, rye and corn. They tried clover, which did splendidly one season, but killed out the first winter. They have this season 200 acres to corn, and Mr. Smith believes that in the whole of it there is only abouttpue-half acre but will average 60 bushels to the acre. One of the news items of the farm was a stroke of lightning in the storm the previous Saturday which ran down a grain stack killing two pigs and two chickens, but doing no other serious damage. Had it occurred after night, the fire would doubtless have caused considerable low. Blmurek Towmnklp. Mr. and Mrs. O. Burns of Osceola, who have been visiting the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Swartsley for the past few days, returned home on the 22d; they were accompanied by Miss Burns, a sister of Oscar's. The watermelon harvest is in full blast now, and any person desiring a first-class, A, No. 1 case of colio can have the same by calling on us at our place of residence, or informing us of their desire through the mails. G. Hodel is plowing now, notwith standing that the ground is very dry even since the late drizzling rain, which, however, did not come with force enough to penetrate the soil to any great depth. Hay land is being rapidly divested of its covering, and hay stacks are spring ing up in all sections of the country. The crop this year will fall far below an average yield, but considering the dis couraging prospects of this summer, the farmers are to be congratulated. The threshing of flax in this vicinity is almost completed, and some of the neighbors have threshed their entire crop, including wheat and oats. W. H. Swartsley informs us that his flax yielded fourteen bushels to the acre, which is an extraordinary yield, but considering the fertility of Nebraska soil is not to be wondered at. We will stato here for the convenience of tho public that as our location is near the southern part of Bismark Township, we sometimes mention parties living in Columbus Township under this head, so wo have concluded, that our next items shall bo under a different head, and to avoid confusion wo insert this para graph. Owing to our non -correspondence for the past few weeks we failed to mention that the dogs of the neighborhood made a raid on J. C. Swartsley's hogs, and killed several fine ones. We think that all law-abiding citizens should not allow their dogs to run loose in this manner, and leaving them liable to do damage; of course in some cases this is prac tically impossible, but still we say that a man should be held responsible for the damage done by his animals. Hog cholera is again manifesting itself in this neighborhood; C. H. Sheldon has lost quite a number of his fine hogs. J. H. (Jraun is now losing his, and V. Bartles has lost all his young pigs. Now, when it is just appearing, is the time to take all precautions against it, and we think if the proper measures were adopted its ravages might be stopped. But having previously treated of this subject quite extensively we will now close this communication by signing it, Charles. Wo aro informed that there are parties traveling through the country contract ing this year's crop of corn, and in some cases paying a portion of the purchase money down. We hear of a number of farmers who have been offered twenty five cents per bushel and of one who has sold his crop for that price. We believe farmers are very foolish to contract their crop this year for any such price as those contracting corn are paying. The crop is very short in many of the corn grow ing states, in fact it is very short in some portions of our own stato, and if the supply and demand has anything to do with the market price of this commodity corn will bring a good price this fall, and the farmer who sells is liable to rue his bargain. Corn in this county is an excellent crop, and the farmers should reap tho benefit Don't sell your corn until it is husked, and then take what the market pays, or hold it for a raiso as you see best. Sure it is that it will bring more than twenty-five cents per bushel. It is worth that figure at the present time, and a little more. Hold your corn and reap the benefit of your labor, don't give the benefit of your summer's work to some speculator, who has no object but that of making money at your ex pense. When these gentlemen give you a call, tell them that you will see them later. Schuyler Herald. Judge Bowman and wife, W. Y. Bissell and wife, and Charles Pearsall of this city, Myron Wheeler aud wife of Omaha, A. B. Coffroth and wife, Rev. A. A. Allen, of Lincoln, H. H. Blukely and wife of Platto Center, returned to their several places of abode Wednesday last after a week's camping out in the northern part of the county. Those who visited the camp say tho ladies of the party prepared excellent meals for the hungry hunters of the party. Every body must have enjoyed themselves, as Judge Bowman and Bissell can get up a hearty laugh most any time referring to some incidents of the trip. A Card. Having been notified that I was nomi nated for County Judge by the prohib itionists, I wish to say that it was done without any authority from me, and that, while I feel grateful, of course, for such an expression of confidence by any body of my fellow-citizens, I am not a member of that party, but now, as al ways since my first vote in this country, I am a republican, and see no reason to change.
