A quarrel at Mead between W. C. Shelton and Dan McCluro resulted in the former striking the latter with a neck-yoko. At first it was thought the blow would prove fatal, but it did not. It is a fact that everybody that passes the Journal building stops and reads the sign that tells you where you can get boots, shoes, clothing, overcoats, ladies' cloaks, etc., for 50c on the dollar. "Sport," the post office dog, and " Cully," Frank Turner's dog, got into a fight on the U. P. platform yesterday, and got between the rails, just as an east-bound freight came along. "Sport" w;is cut in two, and "Cully" had a leg broke. Frank Lazoscgki, the lad of 14 here tofore mentioned in the Journal as having set fire to his father's dwelling- house, plead guilty to arson Saturday and was sentenced by Judge Post to seven years in the State Reform School at Kearney. A printing office is known and ap preciated by the fraternity and the pub lic, according to the work that it does. The best equipped office does the best work. It is a pretty good sign to go by that he who brags the most, works the least and the poorest. There is a good deal of opportunity for practical Christian work lying around loose in this burg. Cold weather is coming and there are the needy poor and unfortunate to whom a little thoughtful kindness and substantial as sistance will not come amiss. "A very large audience attended the entertainment at the Adelphia Theater last night given by Zanzic, the French Mystifier. That they were well repaid for the time and money spent was made plainly evident in the deep interest man ifested and oft repeated bursts of ap plause." Buffalo (N. Y.) Journal. Everybody wonders why there is such a crowd around the Journal build ing, and all trying to get in. It is nothing strange. If you can buy boots, shoes, clothing, overcoats, ladies' wraps, etc, for 50c on the dollar don't yon think that is enough to explain the cause? 1 "That was a remarkable perform ance given at the Academy of Music last night. The audience was held in a tip toe attitude by the dashing young Frenchman during the entire perform ance. The magical skill of Zanzic sur passes anything in that line we have ever seen. Toronto (Canada) Globe. Platte county has demonstrated that no dictator, party manipulator, or po litical boss can vote her, and we are proud to state that the north part of the county did her part of the work nobly. Humphrey Independent. A portion of last week we were so busy with job work that we had to de cline orders for more that were wanted immediately. We are now situated so that we can take care of you. Call and see us. We can furnish you anything in the printing line, as good as anybody, and guarantee satisfaction in work and price. Jefferson, Iowa, has another flow of natural gas. The flow is very strong, sending a flame thirty feet into the air from a two inch pipe. When the gas is not lighted and is confined to a smaller flow it roars like a lion. A well of this kind would be a good thing for Colum bus, and the Journal proposes that one be ordered. Fridry next, was the time appointed for the hanging of Ed. Cany at Albion, but it seems that the sentence has been suspended until he can have a hearing before the supreme court. "His attor neys," bo says the Albion Argus, "have prepared to present this case whenever the court can take it up, which will prob ably not be for some time to come." Sheriff-elect Bloedorn went to Coun cil Bluffs Wednesday, to meet his wife, who hail been visiting in the east. Re turning to his home in Humphrey Fri day evening, they received quite an ova-, tion. from the oitizena.of Humphrey. Martin is deserving of his success, and any amount of appreciative regard by the people with whom he has lived. In.thfie latter days there are -still some good writers found in the rural districts of America.- Here is what one writes an Arkansas rural paper, an obituary of a child: "The little plant was too pure for these mundane shores and had to be transplanted to the garden of paradise and the smiles that have gone from the cradle beam out through the heavenly gate." "Brilliant and original. These and similar adjectives were bestowed upon Zanzic last night at his unique enter tainment. The strange Combination, of which Zanzic is the central figure, has done a splendid business in the South this season. Those who love to revel in mystery should not fail to attend the closing engagement at the Ford tonight." Charleston (S. C.) Mail This office, is again informed that there is some one at Duncan soiling intoxicating drinks without the requisite license. This is a dangerous thing to do, when either the people or the proper officials are inclined to see that the laws are executed. We have a recollection that there was formerly a man at Dun can who undertook to carry on an illegal traffic, but "stopped short, never to run again." We give today the completed table of election returns as canvassed last Thursday and Friday by County Clerk John Stanffer, assisted by H. P. Coolidge and L Gluck. There was a mistake made of 100 in footing up Schug's vote for coroner last week, which leaves him two behind Caldwell. We add to the Extra issued Thursday, a table of the chief township officers, which will be handy for reference, if you put it into your scrap-book. School Board met Monday evening. Sup't. Cramer's resignation to take place Jan. 1, '88, was placed on file, as also that of Rev. Schultz, teaoher of German. The committoe of supplies wero authorized to purchase an organ for the High School. The Supt. was di rected to correspond with the Chancel lor of tho State University with a view of adopting the course of study of our High School as preparatory to that of the University. The Hnmphrey Democrat says that coal is selling at Cornlea for 85.00, and that they offer to deliver it at Humphrey for 86. The Democrat don't know what kind of coal it is, but thinks that if it is a fair grade, and is sold at a lower price because of cheaper transportation over the Northwestern, it might bo to some body's interest to look it up. The weather that Nebraska has had up to this 15th day of November has not re quired much coal for heating purposes. Boone county has another killing scrape on her hands. An altercation in a saloon at Cedar Rapids Wednesday evening of last week, over a game of billiards, has resulted fatally to one of the men, Richard Brewer, who was shot by John Wolf. Brewer died Sunday morning. It is claimed that Brewer had hit Wrolf over the head with a billiard cue, whereupon Wolf pulled a revolver from his hip pocket and was about to strike his assailant with it, but the pistol was accidentally discharged. The editor acknowledges a cordial invitation to be present at an entertain ment and banquet given to Hon. Charles F. Manderson, U. S. Senator, and Hon. G. W. E. Dorsey, Representative in Con gress, at the Genoa Indian school, on Friday evening, tho 11th inst, at 7:30 o'clock, but circumstances were such that we could not attend. The distin guished guests, with lady friends, passed through the city Thursday afternoon, the General returning Saturday morn ing and Mr. Dorsey and friends in the afternoon. Mr. Dorsey said they had a splendid time. We will shortly begin the publica tion of one of the most thrilling inci dents of the War of the Rebellion as told by Rev. Wm.Pittenger who, as a young soldier, was one of the party con cerned. As the story will run for sev eral weeks, those wishing the chapters entire will do well to subscribe for the Journal at once. The Journal has never before published a continued story, but the Journal family are per sonally acquainted with the author, a very talented gentleman, and we know that our readers who enjoy that sort of literature have a treat ahead. Be it resolved, That we, the officers, teachers and members of the First Baptist Sabbath School of Columbus, Neb., do return a vote of thanks to brother L. A. Clark for the energetic and efficient measures he has taken in the performance of his duties as super intendent of this school, and that we shall watch with great interest his fu ture progress, wishing him success equal to his highest hopes. Resolved, That in brother Clark we recognize a true christian and a refined gentleman, congratulating him on his success as a Sabbath school superin tendent and, as he is about to leave us, we commend him and his estimable fam ily to the people of Carlsbad, CaL, their future home. .

Smith start today for their homo at Carlsbad, Cal. Mr. Smith has unbounded faith" in the fu ture of southern California. Its equable climate and rich soil are especially adapted for raising fruits and for pro longing the lives of invalids. Tho coun try is now woll known throughout tho civilized world, and he sees no reason to doubt-but that tho movement thither will continue until the country is all settled up. Mr. Smith has traveled a good deal, lived in various parts of tho Union, and thinks he knows what ho is talking about when he says that eastern Nebraska is the best country in the world for mixed farming and stock raising.

Tho business of the "King Bridge Co." grows with the country and every year adds capacity to their works at Cleve land. Great improvements have been made in the designing of iron bridges and in the modes of manufacture. That the King Co. not only has kept pace with these, but has been and is in the lead is shown by the large number of important structures manufactured and erected by them everj year. Among those now under contract by them are two large bridges across the Mississippi river at Minneapolis, Minnesota; one of 200 ft. span and iron piers at Beatrice, being the heaviest structure so far built in this state; another bridge in Bepublic Co., Kansas, 475 ft. in three spans and iron piers, and many others of equal importance. The high viaduct in Cleve land now about half completed by them, costing nearly a million dollars and re quiring ten million pounds of iron, is one of the finest pieces of work to be found in the United States.

The Albion News of last week gives the following concerning Edward Dwyer, whose death on the 4th the Journal mentioned last week: "Mr. Dwyer was born in New York city March 6th, 1834, and lived there till 184o, when his parents moved to Lake Co., HI. From 1854 till the breaking out of the war, he lived at different places in Michigan, Wisconsin and Min nesota, and was a part of the time en gaged in 8teamboating on the Mississippi river. In September, 1861, he enlisted in the 1st Wisconsin cavalry and served till Jan. 9th, 1864, when he was severely wounded, and was discharged on that account in the following August. He lived in Chicago till 1870 and then moved to Mississippi where he lived one year, and then came to Boone county, Ne braska, where he took the first claim of 160 acres of land that was taken in the lower Beaver valley. He lived on this farm till the day of his death. He was elected as one of the first county com missioners of the county when the county was organized in 1872, and was candidate for county treasurer on the democratic ticket at tho time of his death. Mr. Dwyer was very highly esteemed as a good citizen and neighbor, and his death will be deplored by the county. His family consists of a wife and one child." Public Library. Mr. A. M. Winebrener, representing the Chicago Library Company, informs us that he has consulted a number of our leading citizens in regard to estab lishing a library in Columbus, and finds quite a sentiment favorable to the en terprise. He has therefore decided to remain here and is making a personal canvass of the city. The terms of mem bership are 82.00 which entitles each member not only to the reading but to a joint ownership of tho books and the privilege of buying any of Belford, Clarke & Co.'s publications at special rates. The books are bound in cloth and are standard works of history, biog raphy, poetry and fiction. We trust that Mr. Winebrener will be able to interest a sufficient number of our busi ness and professional men as will enable him to place a library here. Old Times.

To Whom it 31 ay Concern. Notice is hereby given to the public not to negotiate for a promissory note for $120, given by me, Oct. 24, 1887 to Cole Grant & Co., and payable one year after date, as I did not receive value for same, and that the same was obtained by false representations.

Each v riter must hold himself ready to defend his principles and his statements of facts. "In the multitude of counsel there is uindom." Ed. Jobhnal. I (iOOI) RKIDUKS. Sensible Views from a Creston Correspond ent. Ed. Journal: Allow mo to say through the Journal- a few words in reference to tho contemplated move in regard to the building of bridges across the Loup and Platte rivers. It seems to me, in the light of past experience, that to undertake to build bridges for the amount of money that the people of Co lumbus have provided, is, to say the least, perfect folly, and it does appear to me that if tho people of Platto county would look at the matter in the proper light, without prejudice and selfishness, they would be ready to come forward and say that they were willing to vote an additional $40,000 for the construc tion of thoso bridges, and with tho com bined sum build structures that would be an lienor and a credit to the county. With this sum of money there can bo built bridges that would stand for years. What enterprise would advertise tho county so well, when there is not a crossing that is reliable on these rivers from their mouths to their sources, ex cept the railroad bridges? Tho traveling public havo beon made to suffer at various times on account of these bad crossings, and the inconven ience and expense that they have been put to has caused them to curse the people and tho county with them to the lowest depths of destruction. Would it not be far better to have good, safe and reliable crossings and the fact heralded all over the state and adjoin ing states? What is there that would advertise us better and turn tho tide of travel quicker than these good roads and bridges? But, I hear some modern genius remark that he does not propose to vote himself more tax to build up the city of Columbus. To such I would say, that if building up Columbus so as to make it a live, progressive, prosperous and wealthy city would be any detri ment to the county and its inhabitants, then don't vote for such improvements but move out. How much does it hurt Platto county, or any other county in Nebraska, to build up Omaha and make it the center of trade, and make it wealthy and populous? Will it pay us to encourage them and help them every way that we can? I think it will and I think that it will pay ub big to help Columbus. It does not appear to me to be possible for a reasonable man to ob ject to a move of this kind, if he will just stop to think and reason for a mo ment. Citizens, come forward and ex press your sentiments on this question. Cbeston, Palestine. Bertha Stenzil is just able to nit up part of the time.

Severe colds are fashionable, and those who do not wear them are altogether out of style. Mr. Jones got both his ankles sprain ed nearly two weeks ago and is only able to walk a short distance yet. Those of our farmers who bought the "Bepair tools" are well pleased with them. Those who became acquainted with Mr. Moore found him a very intelli gent, agreeable gentleman. We understand that the lumber is on the ground for the new school-house at Fairview. After a great deal of discus sion last fall it was decided to put tho new building a few feet from tho old site. Chris Christenson, who has been sick with typhoid fever so long, is slowly re covering. The children of P.W.Ed wards are somewhat better. Mr. E.'s hired man is sick, too. We hear of a good many cases of fever around. A lady from somewhere took a cotton plant in full bloom to a fair, which was a subject of considerable wonder Mrs. W. F. Hanchett of Palestine has had cotton plants in bloom all the latter part of the summer in her garden. One plant had ripe seed and cotton in sev eral balls, a specimen of which I send you, Mr. Editor. Fine it is. The week of the fair Mr. and Mrs. McNabb went one day leaving Mr. Mc N.'s mother, a very old lady and several small children at home. While they were absent a fire caught from his cano mille, burning a wagon on which there was some flax straw, and the loose stuff around the mill.

One of the Johnson Bros., horses got into a wire fence today and was pretty badly cut up. The cold weather we had two weeks ago scared our farmers so completely that they all rushed for their corn fields; consequently the corn will be husked a week or two earlier than usual. A large number of farmers met at the school-house near H. Wurdeman's to or ganize a so-called farmers' protective association similar to the one at Oconee. The association intends to build an ele vator and to ship all kindB of grain, hogs and cattle, place of business to be at Leigh, Neb. Quite a large number of farmers have joined and many more are expected.

"In peace prepare for war;" in summer, pro- Saro for winter, and among yonr preparations on't forget that if jon can save one-third to one-half on our expense for f uoL by an ap- Jili.ince of little cost, it will pay yon to take a ittle tronble to provide yourself with one. Francis Marak, jr.. of Everest, Kan., the in ventor of the appliance referred to, is here dis posing of territory, and has made some sales of counties. The appliance is an ordinary dram except that it is divided into apartments running the length of tho drum: one of these is virtually a contin uation of the pipe, when the damper is not turned, and makes a direct draft when desired for starting a fire; when the damper is turned, the partitions are so arranged that the heated air and smoke go alternately upward and down ward through all the apartments (usually five in number, owing to the relativo size of pipe and drum) and finally np tho chimney. The princi ple is precisely the same as that of the famous Mennonite heating furnaces, and applied to cook or heating stoves, utilizes a great deal more of the heat evolved from the fuel than is done by the ordinary drum. The pictures of progress are these: A hre, on tho ground, nnder the open canopy of heaven; two posts, a cross stick and the pot of ictuals hanging over the fire. Second, the same, only a rude wall around, and a cone-sluiped roof, with a hole in the middle for the smoke to curl out at. Third, the open grate, in the open fire-place, a. great portion of tho heat escaping up the chim ney into the outer air. Fourth, the stove. Fifth, the stove nnd drum, increasing the amount of surface heated by the same fuel. Sixth, the greatly improved drum, or RADIA TOlt, with a more intenso anil therefore more Ienetniting heat from thn same amount of fuel; forming a reservoir for heat except as it escapes through the metallic enclosure, and wliat little gets out through the chimney. Abundant certificates can bo given from those who have used the IttDlATon that it does all tliat is claimed for it, but the following are suf ficient: Hlce Hills, Nkbb., ) March 21, 1&7. ) 1 have tested tho qualities of the Marak Radia tor, and it gave satisfaction in every particular he claims for it. Dn. A. J. Rodokbs. Columbus, Nebk.. ) June 14. 1B87. ) I have tried Francis Marak's patent radiator on my cook stove and found it to do all that he claims. It caustsl the kettle to boil and the oven to heat, quick, with one-half the fuel wo had been using without the Radiator. We got bnukfast with lit corn cobs, and the oven was hot enough to bake biscuits. Joun L. Stcbokon. FAMILY : JOURNAL.
