"Billy" Jones, while running a foot

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.

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.

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

deceased.
The cause came on for hearing upon the peti
tion of Annie O'Neill, administratrix of the
estate of Thomas O'Neill, deceased, praying for
license to sell the west half of the southeast
quarter, and the south half of the northeast
quarter of section four (1), in township nineteen
(10, north, range two (2), west of the sixth prin
cipal meridian, situato in said Platte county, or
a sufficient amount of the same to bring the sum
$3,271, for the payment of debts against said
estate and the costs of administration, there not
being sufficient personal property to pay the said
debts and expenses. It is therefore ordered by
the court that all persons interested in said estate
appear before me at tho court house in Colum
bus, Platte county, Nebraska, on the 10th day of
September, l!7, at one o'clock p. m., to show
cause why a license should not be granted to said
administratrix to sell so much of the above de
scribed real estate of said deceased as shall be
necessary to pay said debts and expenses. It is
further ordered that said Annie O'Neill, admin
istratrix, give notice to all persons interested in
said estato, by causing a copy of this order to
be published in theCoLUMBCS JocnxAL, a news
paper printed and in general circulation in said
county, for four successive weeks prior to the
day set for said healing.
