P. Coolidge was the recipient Monday of a half dozen lemon canes,one for each or his six boys, a present from Lorenzo Clark, formerly of this place, now of California. The levying of an occupation tax of S50 a year on the saloons seems to please no one. The saloon keojiers think it is too much and many other citizens think it is not nearly enough. A quartette of negro vocalists (three male and ofie female) gave two oen air concerts in tho street, Monday after noon and evening. Their weird planta tion melodies attracted large audiences. The National Linseed Oil Co., de sire to establish a branch hero. This would be a tiptop location. The com pany have a capital of $20,000,000, and could help make Columbus a good sized city. Tho rain was very heavy at Platto Center on the night of the 1st Elm creek was out of its banks and the streets flooded. Great damago to hay and stocked grain all through Shell Creek valley.

Their session lasted one week; about thirty ministers were present, the north half of the state being well rep resented. D. D. Hardy sold his farm of 201J acres to Henry Saunders for $2600. He removes to South Omaha where he is already engaged in the real estate busi ness buying city lots, improving and selling, in wliich business we believe he will 1 a complete success. -The trains going east into Omaha are crowded with people on their way to "attend the soldiers' re-union and fair, both or which occur in that city this Mjeek. Omaha will be taxed to her ut most to accommodate the thousands of strangers who will visit there during the week. Several parties who are interested in the organization of a brass band for Co lumbus have requested us to publish the call for a meeting to take action in the "matter. We believe a general invitation is extended to all musicians of the city. The meeting will be held in the City Hall, Saturday evening, Sept 10th. We cannot, as we go to press, learn any further particulars oT the accident to A. Haight than that in going across on the Platte bridge Monday about noon, the bridge gave way letting his wagon and team down on the sand; it is said that Mr. H's bead was considerably J bruised; no injury to wagon or team. The Schuyler Herald (Dniocratic) takes a hand in the controversy be tween "Farmer," a correspondent of the Journal and D. Frank Davis, editor of the Democrat, and says that D. Frank Dans "has been a democrat to our per sonal knowledge ever since he was old enough to vote," etc., etc This is some what evading the issue raised by Far mer, as we understand it It seems to be conceded all around, at least not dis proved, so far as we have seen, that our D. Frank Davis is the identical D. Frank Davis who (about the time he was 21 years old, may be a little before, or a little after) was a candidate for su perintendent of schools, before the Re publican convention of Colfax county; that he was defeated for that nomina tion; that he shortly afterwards became editor of the Herald, a democratic news paper. Why beat about the bush. If it was once a good thing to be a republi can, though you afterwards quit "being a republican," and are now really ashamed that you quit, why not say so "an honest confession is good for the soul," and you will find quiek relief in such a confession. If there was an over w helming necessity which overcame you a few days after your majority, that had no appreciable effect upon you while you were yet an infant in the eyes of the law, just a few days previously, why not say so, and make a virtue of necessity? In either case Farmer's shafts, though hitting the mark, would find no entrance, because such a defence would render you iron-clad. Though you are dis posed not to take kindly to our office of tutor, we cannot possibly refrain from stretching out a helping hand, and en deavoring, at least, to pull you out of the mud die into which your youthful indiscretion has plunged you. 0 From J. H. Sacrider of Monroe township we learn that the bridge on Cherry creek was carried away by the freshet of the first; also the bridge near Geo. Kerr's; that considerable damage was done to millet that was cut and in winrow; potatoes in patches in the low places were washed out; Cherry creek, near Mr. Sacrider's place, raised to the depth of twenty feet; Mr. Crossett had a cow drowned; at Isaac Kenyon's there was two feet of water around the place, and the hogs saved their prospective ba con by climbing to the top of a straw stack, where they found safety from the flood; at Erwin Nickolson's an oats stick was carried entire about one hun dred yards and landed outside the creek's bed; along the road between here and Monroe you will see squashes, pumpkins, watermelons, potatoes, etc, right amqng the prairie grass, and ono not knowing of the.flood would suppose that these vegetables were produced on the raw prairie along with the grass. The City Council meet this, Wed nesday, evening. At the last meeting, a sidewalk along the south side of blocks 117 and 118 was ordered, of two-inch plank, walk six feet in width, laid on three stringers, the outside two 4x4, the inside one, 2x4. The report of the ju diciary committee in regard to amounts of license on occupations was adopted and the ordinance thus completed, or dered engrossed for third reading. The ordinance provides a license tax on hawkers and peddlers of goods, $10 a day; canvassers for fancy goods and notions, $6 a day; druggists and licensed saloons, each $50 a year; sewing machine dealers or agents, commission stores or dealers, billiard halls (1 table) express companies, each $10 a year; telephone and telegraph companies, $15 a year; in surance companies $5; loan agent and broker, $20 a year; shooting gallery, $2 a day. G. W. Kibler came up to Lost Creek last Friday near Pat Kelly's, and being naturally a very cautious man, he meas ured the depth of the stream by his own corporosity before venturing in with his his pomes. He waded till the water reached his jacket, and would not fur ther go, even at the exclamation of one of tho women of a crowd who were on tho dry railroad grade watching the flood and the incident, to "Wade in, old man." Kibler's army experience was worth a good deal to him, and the "old man" didn't wade in, else the writer hereof and himself would have got a ducking together. We learn that one evening last week it was discovered that some miscreant who had doubtless been a visitor at the place, had removed some oil cups on the dynamo of Jaeggi & Schupbach, and instead of oil, much needed to keep the journal in good running order, some sand had been put in its stead. It was noticed that the light produced was un steady, and an examination soon showed the cause. It must have been done, evi dently, by 6ome mechanic, at least, and with wicked intent, for it would have taken but a short time to greatly injure the dynamo. The democratic organ at Platte Center is inclined to make light of the democratic organ at Columbus. They do not see all things alike, as for in stance: "It appears to us that we have a faint recollection of hearing some re publican say that the little corner sheet had stepped on its own toil and was now boohooing about it Try. baby, cry. Stick your finger in your eje And make the water fly' " The Platte Center Argus (democrat ic) thinks that "One .bad and unworthy man on the ticket may be the millstone which will down all the rest" This is a very decent way or calling particular at tention to the "personal habits" of the proposed candidates, and will doubtless help to secure the result aimed at bet ter than a personal attack upon some particular individual candidate. In chronicling the death of a prom inent citizen, a New Mexico paper says: "His tired spirit was released from the pain-racked body, and soared aloft at 4:30, Denver time." And the Arizona Howler in noting the death of a prom inent citizen the other day ended with these words: "Death loves a shining mark, and she hit a dandy when she turned loose on Jim." I have a bargain in a house, lot and barn. Surrounded with beautiful shade trees and nicely situated on proposed street car line and worth $1,000. Must be sold within one week and the party that makes me the best offer in this time will get this bargain. Call and see it and get particulars. L. W. Weavsb's Real Estate Agency. 20 For Seat.

Pianox, Org&BJi and Sewiag MaebiBt . In all the creations of man's genius no two are alike. For the purpose intend ed there are all degrees of merit, from the poorest to the best The test of merit is actual use, and, when you are to be the purchaser, it is yourself that should be satisfied, pleased, delighted with your purchase. It happens that these articles mentioned above are sold mostly by canvassing agents. Some of these canvassing agents are very fair and attend strictly to the business of show ing the good qualities of their own wares, and, when necessary, the actual defects of some others; all are by no means bad; other canvassing agents are thor oughly unscrupulous, and make Buch misrepresentations as they think will secure a sale of their goods. What we wish to suggest is this: we are selling pianos, organs and sewing machines. If you wish to buy either, please notify us in person or by mail, and we will place it in your house, free of any cost to you, or any obligation whatever; we will fairly set forth its merits, and, if you purchase, we will guarantee satisfaction.

And Soartfcii afeoit Doria A CoIvIb'k Co ioftnal UnilratiOB of Great Show. The Wild West, that land so prolific of themes for the poet and novelist, is so full of romance and romantic heroes and heroines, of adventure and adventurers, that it must ever be a source of wonder to the world. The red man of the prairie and the monntain. in all his savacerv: and the frontiersman that daring class I oi manhood, found nowhere else beneath . the blue dome of heaven furnish an endless variety of life pictures for the literateur and the circus manager. In the colossal shows owned, managed and controlled by Messrs. John B. Doris & E. D. Colvin, which will positively ex hibit at Columbus on Thursday, Sept. 15, our show-going people will see a truthful portrayal of life in the Wild West, such as' lasso and lariat capturing of wild horses, cattle and Indians, cap ture of white maiden by Indian braves, bloodless mimic massacres, bullfighting without slaughter, capture of stage coach by border banditti, etc. All these acts are participated in by real Indians, cowboys, scouts, trappers, frontiersmen, and Mexican vaqueros and niatadores. Messrs. Doris & Colvin also bring a Three Ring circus, containing 200 bright arenic stars, a Menagerie of 50 huge cages of wild beasts, an Elevated Theater Stage with 20 stelliferous troups, a World's Museum, and, better than all, a Grand Roman Hippodrome, which will be par ticipated in by over one hundred Roman race riders. The free-for-all street pa rude will be on the streets promptly at 10 o'clock. Doors open at 1 and 7 p. in. Performance will commence one hour later. IMittrict 44 and Vicinity. The drouth broken. Rain fell at intervals all forenoon Thursday, and about 9 o'clock p. ni. the big rain of the season set in and for 44 hours it fell in torrents; the storm was accompanied with lightning and thun der, but no wind. Much hay and grain in stack is damaged; owing to the dry season people sought the low lands on which to make their hay and were very busy, stacking most of the hay on the ground. Friday morning the scene was changed, presenting large lakes with hay stacks as floating palaces; one man was seen fishing for his mower and rake where he had used it the day before, but gavo it up for the time, they being en tirely submerged. Waggoner & Barnes thresher engine with large tank was stuck in the mud Friday while en route for this place; grain stacks that were not well put up are damaged more or less, as thoy are already beginning to grow. The flood affords amusement, in stead of sorrow for Thomas Johnson; he put a tight wagon box on the water in the large slough that runs through his place, and Saturday it was being used for fishing out melons that had been torn from their vines and carried away with the waters. The school house stands near the edge of a basin contain ing about 140 acres; Friday morning the water reached the floor, the like of which was never before known. On Lost Creek at Reagan's bridge the grade on the south approach had large holes washed out, in which two teams were nearly drowned, Friday p. m. Mr. Parish, a homesteader in Custer county, had to lay over a mile north of here, in consequence of bridges being washed out; he was returning home from Iowa, with three horses.

The rain of last week spoiled a large quantity of hay. A good many of our neighbors will go to Omaha this week to attend the soldiers reunion. The chinch bugs are destroying Borne fields in the neighborhood, which prom ised a good crop of millet. Mr. N. Blaser and Mrs. W. Ernst re turned from Switzerland last week, hav ing been at sea only eight days. The waterworks of the feeding yards at this place are almost completed, and the -vhole concern will be ready for business in a few weeks. S. President. Solomon Dickinson of Monroe, died at three o'clock a. m., on Saturday, Aug. 27, aged fifty-four years. Mr. Dickenson was one of the old settlers of this town ship, having come to this place from Wisconsin thirteen years ago, since which time he has been identified with the best interests of the community. In his death the church loses a valuable member, the family a kind and loving husband and father. A large concourse of people followed the remains to the grave on Sabbath afternoon. The family have the sympathy of all in their great breavement. Notice. Parties digging out sand from the road sides in Columbus township will be prosecuted. By order of township board. 20-2 A. C.
