The man who had them said they were expected to make votes for the "Bosses," but they wouldn't do it, all the same. Dr. Wm. Edwards of Platte Center, who was in the city a few dayB ago, has been compelled to take to his bed again, or lose a leg. He thinks that rest and time will bring him out all right If, on a former electioneering oc casion, it tooic viou 01 a aemocrauc campaign fund for little Burrows town ship, how much has been set aside this year, and where does it come from? John Cramer of Shell Creek town ship gave us a very pleasant business call Saturday. We notice that he is can didate for assessor on the republican ticket, and he will made a good one. It looks as though our old citizen J. W. Early was making preparations to go to California, after all we learn he has sold another piece of property, a dwelling near the Court House to H. T. Spoerry. Bishop O'Connor was at Platte Center, this county, on the 18th inst, escorted there from Humphrey by one hundred of St Mary's congregation, and the cornet band. A reception was to be tendered him at the house of Hon. John A. Kehoe. Rev. A. W. 8nider will deliver a lec ture in the Baptist church, Sunday evening, Oct 30th. Subjeot: The Po litical Question, from an ethical and re ligious stand point A large attendance is expected. Frank Wake, son of C. Wake of this city, was married Wednesday of last week at Fullerton to Miss Fannie Red man. The young couple, we understand, will still reside in Genoa. The Journal extends congratulations. W. H. Roberta 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 Hall k Trnurn. CoL Whitmoyer, AL Arnold and George Hulst started yesterday for a two weeks' trip in northwestern Nebras ka, the Colonel going to his horse ranch eighty miles south of Valentine, and AL and George to hunt around till just be fore election. The machinery of the democratic "bosses" seems to be very well "oiled" this year. The query is whether the "oil" is furnished by a sight draft on the Democratic office-holders and office seekers, or whether it is a time-draft on future margins. The nominations of Judges Mar shall and Post in this district by the re publicans was a fine stroke of political work. They are capable men and will be elected by flattering majorities. Both have fine judicial records to back them. Schuyler QuilL Invitations have been issued for the marriage of Henry W. Abta and Miss Mary Hinkelmann of this city, this morning (Oct 26th,) 9 o'clock, at St Francis' Catholic church. The Journal wishes the young couple a long and prosperous journey through life. Rev. H. L. Powers went to Omaha Monday to hold protracted meeting at the South 10th street church, and will be gone two weeks. His congregation (Methodist) here will have the pleasure of hearing Rev. Prof. E. A. Whitwam of Miilison Normal college next Sunday (90th,) 11a.m., 7 p.m. i There is no report from theloet two- years-old girl of John Moritz, a farmer in Loup township, this county, last week. The search for her has been careful but unavailing. Her loss seems to be a mystery. Mr. M. was in the city Saturday last and called at this office and seemed almost distracted over his loss. His home is within a mile of the Loup river, but he is of the opinion that the child never wandered that far away from home without assistance from other parties. Mr. M. would feel thankful if state papers would make a note of his loss. If this be a case of abduction the parties might be brought to justice through this channel. The Joukxaxi acknowledges a very pleasant call from SamL C. Smith, Esq., on Wednesday of last week. Mr. S. is well pleased with his new home, Carls bad, CaL, and has great faith in its be coming quite a resort The natural ad vantages of San Diego, he thinks, will in a short time, make it the principal com mercial city of the coast Their climate, he tells us, cannot be surpassed. His son George is doing well in the real estate business at National City. Mr. S. expects to return to his California home in about two weeks. L. A. Clark, Esq., station agent for the B. k M., tells us that the rumor cur rent last week that the only votes against the bridge bonds were cast by employes of the B. k M., has done that corpora tion great injustice. For himself, he signed the call for election, but was too busy on day of election to attend had no operator to leave in the office; the section foreman was in 8t Joseph; there is no B. k M. man in the third ward. Mr. Clark didn't know how any of the employes voted. Farmers in the neighborhood of Oconee have organized into a society for shipping their own grain, thus saving the profits of all the middle men, ex cept the wages of their own employee and the transportation charges. F. H. Gerrard is their agent and they are of fered now by the other dealers 5 cents a bushel on corn and 1 to 14 cents on oats more than before. When farmers put their heads together they can secure all their rights. Seasons why you should see Hen rich before borrowing money: 1st Because he always makes the lowest possible rates of interest 2d. Because you can pay off your loan at any time you choose. 3d. Because there is no delay in clos ing loans. 4th. Because you can pay your in terest payments to him and save the trouble of sending them east The following is the democratic tick et nominated for Columbus township: supervisor, Thos. Flynn; treasurer, J. Ernst; clerk, O. W. Phillips; justice, G. C. Barnutn; assessor, James Russell: road overseers Dist 1, P. S. Griffin; Dist 11, R. T. Lisco; Dist 25, Mr. Hart ley; Constable, H. Schutte; judges of election, J. Ernst, W. Eiseman, J. Browner; clerks, Thos. Johnson, G. W. Phillips. Rev. J. A. Reed will, on Wednesday evening of next week, at the Congrega tional church, deliver a lecture on the Azor islands, a region of the globe which he visited last summer in a sailing ves seh No doubt the lecture will be a very interesting one. Let the house be filled. The lecture will be free, and we could hope that this will be the begin ning of a series of lectures this winter. Drs. Schug, Runner and Martyn, of this city, one day last week relieved Mrs. Platte, of Cedar Rapids, Boone county, of the contents of a large tumor, fully ten gallons of liquid substance, weighing eighty pounds. It was a critical opera tion, but appeared to result favorably in every particular. We believe that this city has as good physicians as can be found any where. 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. Weavkb's Real Estate Agency. 20 Don't forget that Dr. Haughawout extracts teeth without pain. Aching teeth treated and saved by proper fill ing. Have your teeth cleaned no mat ter how unsightly or discolored they may be, Dr. Haughawout can restore them to their original color and beauty, at the dental parlors of Dr. L. E. Roe, Columbus. Neb. 1 The republican central committee man in each township is requested as soon as he reads this item, to immediate ly (if he has not already done so), sit down and write the township ticket in full and send it to the Journal office to be printed on the tickets to be sent out. Please, don't neglect this. Coming. The Ida Clark concert company, composed of four young ladies who come recommended by the best au thority, will give an entertainment con sisting of vocal and instrumental music, and elocutionary exercises. Every per son should hear them. Lookout for ad vertisement next week. Every sensible man having his own best interests in view, will vote for the bridge bonds at the election in Colum bus township today. The tax on you will be very light, and the benefits very many. While there is no doubt as to the result, the majority should be practical ly unanimous. The Iowa State Register, in speak ing of Mrs. Matilda Fletcher's lecture, says: "No other orator ever received in this city so overwhelming a demonstra tion of popular favor as Matilda Fletch er did hut evening." At the Opera House, Columbus, Monday evening, October 31. Don't forget the Fair to be held at Opera House, Nov. 3d, 4th, and 5th. There is no better institution among us for the care of the needy aick,poor or un fortunate. As people of all sorts and sects receive of their charity, so it is benefit ing that all should share in liberal pat ronage. We notice by the National City (CaL) Record that W. W. Burgess had presented his resignation as county tax collector. That Mrs. Ira Mullen arrived in National City Oct 10, from Carlsbad, aad that she was there to make prepa- I ration for a permanent home. A CaarmiBgWeddiBg. We clip the following from a recent number of the Denver Republican, of a wedding which took place September 30th. The Journal adds its hearty congratulations, and with a scon of relatives this side the mountains, wishes long life and prosperity: At 11 o'clock on Friday morning at the resi dence of the bride's father General A. J. Samp son, No. 1557 Pennsylvania avenue. Miss Mar guerite Sampson, his eldest daughter, was mar ried to Mr. Alfred W. Chamberlain, brother of Mr. H. R. Chamberlain of this city. The wed ding, although given to the immediate relatives and friends of tne bride and groom, was one of the pleasant est of the season. It was decidedly informal, and proved to be the occasion of rare enjoyment. There were not so many guests en tertained bot there was plenty of room and op portunity for the exchange of social converse. For the most part the guests were bound together by close ties of relationship and friendship, and the affair was more like a family gathering than like the conventional society wedding. The bride entertained her relatives, schoolmates and most intimate friends, assisted by her father and by her sister and brother. Tho groom entertained the members of his immediate family and a small circle of intimate friends. The interior of General Sampson's hoUHe pre sented a very cheerful appearance. The appart ments on the main floor were all thrown into one, and flowers were loosely scattered everywhere. Loose banks of roses relieved with bits ofgreen here and there decorated the mantels. Tables and cabinets were strewn with masses of flaming geraniums and other flowers, the effect being careless and pleasing. Tho wedding was sim plicity itself. There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen. The bride wore a plain, rich trav eling dress of dark blue broadcloth, tailor made, and the groom was in semi-dress. The Rev. Henry A. Bntchell, D. D., performed the ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal church in his earnest and impressive manner. Immedi ately the friends of the young couple gathered about them with loving words of congratulation. The scene was very pretty and home-like, and will be long remembered by the guests. 0 The presents were numerous valuable and eleganCincludinga Steinway upright piano from the groom to the bride.also a number of presents from friends who were not even invited to tho wedding, but wished to remember the happy couplo. When the bride had been kissed by her friends and the groom liad been congratulated, tho merry party was invited into the dining room where an elaborate breakfast, consisting of seven courses, was served by TunnelL troni 1130 until 1:30 o'clock all remained seated dis cussing the delicacies of tho breakfast, which was elegantly arranged and faultlessly served. At the expiration of that time carriages were at the door and the young couple, waving their friends adieu, departed for the west, accompa nied to the depot by their immediate friends. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred W. Chamberlain aro now en route to Sun Francisco, Los Angeles and Port land, Oregon. They will be absent six weeks, and upon their return will go at once to their elegantly appointed house which already awaits them, furnished Iianasomeiy in me most inouern Ml J IP, in Aiut siiw?i, ueiwwu uninuui Twelfth avenues. and Some days ago, a petition was pre sented by ladies to the Mayor of the City concerning the bawdy houses we believe the substanco of it was that the law be enforced and tho nuisances abated. We see by the record of the City Judge that recently, on the com plaint of Policeman McTaggart, several individuals were fined as follows: Mag gie McDaniels, on a charge of keeping a house of prostitution, $10.00 and costs; Eva Clifford, inmate of same, $5; Kittie Magg, $5. People are beginning to wonder whether this iniquity which has no legal right to exist, and which many good citizens have petitioned to be abolished, is to bo continued on the plan of bringing the violators of the law be fore the police court once a month and assessing a small fine against them, or whether there will bo some more strin gent measures taken to rid the town of an unmitigated nuisance in every par ticular. At a meeting held Monday evening a permanent organization was effected, and now Columbus will have a good brass band, as the members are all energetic and take n lively interest in the same. Tho following are theofficors and members: C. C. Berringer, musical director and instructor; A. Saner, presi dent; Jos. S. Wells, secretary; Geo. S. Davis, treasurer; Leander McFarland, Frank North, Saml. McDonald, Chas. Finocy, Willie Becher, C. B. Speice, Will. Hagel, J. W. Welch, L. G. Zin naker, Gus. Schroeder, jr., S. Marty, C. B. Coolidge. The band will meet twice a week, Monday and Friday eve nings, at Mnennerchor hall, and has the best wishes of our citizens for success. Hon. H. J. Hudson, grand represent ative, representing Wildey Lodge No. 44, L O. O. F.t of this city, was at Lincoln four days of last week at tho session of the grand lodge of Nebraska. He re ports a very large attendance and the order as flourishing in all parts of the state. Past grand representative, Adam Ferguson of North Platte, retiring grand master, was elected the representative to the Sovereign grand lodge which meets at Los Angeles, Cal., September next. Geo. H. Cutting of Kearney was elected Grand Master for Nebraska the coming year. Omaha was selected as the place for holding the noxt session of the Grand Lodge, the 3d Wednesday in Oc tober, 1888. A drunken, loud-mouthed deputy sheriff is not well calculated to make votes for the democratic candidate for treasurer, who is now the sheriff of Platte county. This individual whether acting under instructions from his boss or not, was proffering to bet a thousand dollars Monday night, in a saloon, of course, that Kavanangh would be elect ed treasurer by 100 majority (the majori ty seems to be dwindling very rapidly) J but was bluffed by a republican who was reaching down into his pockets for only a hundred dollars to put up. This has no reference to Deputy O'Brien, who for all we know, is a model of propriety. E. H. Jenkins, at Kalamazoo, Mad ison county, Neb., informs us of two in teresting items to citizens of that por tion of the state. He believes the corn crop of that county will yield fully 25 per cent, larger than it ever did before, taking it altogether, although there were a few pieces blasted early in the season and will not turn out much. The other item is the fact that they have gathered from the trees at Kalamazoo, on the Jenkin's premises at least 20 bushels of walnuts with the hulls on. It has so encouraged him that he be lieves he will plant this fall an acre more. L. A. Clark, Esq., who for the last four years has been the very faithful and efficient station agent here of the B. & M. railway company, has entered into contract with the California Southern R. R. Co., to take charge of their station at Carlsbad. He will also have an in terest with the Land and Mineral Water Co. of that place. Mr. Clark expects to move with hiB family to their new home, the middle of next month. Mr. Clark is an intelligent, wide-awake gentleman, and we are very sorry to see him leave. The good wishes of all their acquaint ances here will go with the family. At the Union or People's caucus held in Columbus township Oct 22d, 1887, the following persons were nom inated: For supervisor, A. W. Clark; clerk, A. C. Pickett; treasurer, Jacob Louis; assessor, H.

Patrick Coleman, who has for some time past been preparing to change his residenco to Wayne county, goes this week. All who know Mr. Coleman will be sorry to see him leave.

Lr'LmtT .rr.LfcC cSS OO. Bees as Benefartorn. BT MBS. J. N. HEATER. Our little pets, though seldom ac corded the compliment, are direct bene factors to the florist, horticulturist and farmer, in fact to anyone who wishes to produce fruit, grain or vegetables, by their constant visits from llower to flower, thus carrying the pollen from one flower to another; and any one with tho most meager knowledge of botany will understand that this is the plan of tho Creator for the reproduction of tho vegetable kingdom. Else, why would flowers depending on insect fertilization be so cunningly constructed that in order to reach the honey tho insects must forcibly brush against the pollen, thus dusting themselves in one flower and carrying it to another, where the process is repeated and the pollen mixed. And in this connection we plainly see wisdom in the instinct with which the honey bee is endowed, to visit tho same species of plant or flower until a full load of honey is obtained. To satisfy a doubting mind as to whethor this is a true statement, a given number of blos soms may be covered with little squares of netting closely tied around tho stem so that no bees or other insects can reach the flower, and mark tho samo number of heads in bloom at the samo time and leave them exposed to the visits of the insects. This experiment was tried in 1886 with 20 white clover blossoms which resulted in the produc tion of 2290 matured seeds in the twenty uncovered blossoms, and only one poor seed in tho covered ones. Of red clover, one hundred covered heads gave noth ing, and one hundred heads uncovered produced 2720 seeds. A few years ago our common red clover was introduced to Australia, and it made a most rapid growth in that warm, rich soil, but they were unable to raise one bit of seed. After trying for some time in vain, it was suggested (presumably by some enter prising Yankee) that bumble bees were required to fertilize the bloom. Somo nests were accordingly shipped from the New England states and the result was considered wonderful, for seed was then raised without trouble. From a Massachusetts town comes a report of a controversy between tho fruit growers and nn apiarist of the same place. The fruit men claimed much damage done by the bees to their crops, and succeeded in banishing tho little fellows into the country. But after three years test without them, the fruit growers, still willing to benefit them selves at the expense and trouble of their brother bee-keeper, requested that the bees be returned, as the settings of their fruit were so perceptibly dimin ished that they were willing to concede that they had defeated their own object in having them removed. The obliging bee-keeper returned his bees and the result was perfectly satisfactory. A gentleman once complained to me that my bees were eating all his rasp berry blossoms up, but in good time he had more berries on his vines than ever before. Bepeated and thorough tests have been made which prove conclusively that Bound, unbroken fruit, though very ripe, is never molested by the bees; in fact they are unable to puncture the skin ot any kind of fruit, though they work freely on it when the skin is broken by birds, hornets, bursting or any other means, still, they will not seek such forage, if nectar is to be obtained. The bright colors of different flowers are their signal flags to the bees that there is treasure in store for them, for it has been ascertained by close obser vation and careful tests that bright yel low and blue flowers are more richly laden with nectar than are other colors. We have an example of this in our gol- denrod and cleome or Rocky Mountain honey-plant on the prairies, from which we obtain the most of our surplus honey, and in favorable seasons, tons of thiB delicious nectar go to waste for want of bees to store it I refer now to the natural resources of our own locality and to which I might add corn, milk weed, hearts ease, etc., but in many sec LEOPOLD JJEOOt. tions of our state thero is an abundance of fruit bloom, white clover, buckwheat, etc., in addition to linden, maple and prairio flowers.

Drunkenness or the Liquor Hubit Positively Cured by Administering Dr. Haines Colileu Specific. It can be given in a cup of coffee or tea without the knowledge of the person taking it; is absolutely harmless and will effect a permanent and speedy cure, whether the patient is a moderato drink er or an alcoholic wreck. Thousands of drunkards have been made temperate men who have taken Golden Specific in their coffee without their knowledge,and today beliovo they quit drinking of their own f reo will.
