Osborne went to Columbus Wednesday in a boat on a combined pleasure and hunting trip. As we have seen no evidence of their having secured any wild game, we concluded they met. with the usual "hunters Juck," which allays not hunger, insures not dryness, and is in no way conducive of pleasure.

The Chinese Students gave their en tertainment at the Milbank opera house last night, Oct. 10, 1887. The house was well crowded, and the audience much pleased, and the entertainment was a success. They are worthy of a large patronage in all places, and we wish them success. Anna A. Morrill, Pres. Ladies Aid Society. Robert Hurley, of Alameda CaL, an uncle of Mrs. Henry Woods of this city, met a sudden, fearful death on the 30th of last month. The boiler of his bath rooms was in charge of a new hand, who had let things get out of shape. He called on Mr. Hurley to come to the rescue, and just as he got to the place the boiler burst, killing Mr. Hurley in stantly. Siugularly, ho had mado all arrangements to go to another place the next day. The Chinese entertainment given at the Baptist church on Monday evening was very largely attended, the church being packed to its utmost capacity. There were on exhibition and for sale a large number of Chinese wares, a regular bazar, which was well patronized. The three students who composed the troupe, illustrated in a very interesting manner many of the customs of China, with brief explanations. Sauk Center Her ald, Oct 6,1887. James OTkmnell of this city has had a legal contest with the U. P. Co. for some time over an injury received by him from a passing train at St. Edward. The last verdict was $5,00ain his favor, and the case was carried to the Supreme Court, which last week affirmed the action of the district court. Mr. O'Don nell has been receiving the congratula tions of his friends. McAllister Bros, of this city and Gen. A. J. Sampson of Denver were his attorneys. The Mask Ball given last Thursday night by the Columbus Union Brass Band was a decided success, socially 'and financially, everybody being well pleas ed, and the Band realizing, clear of all expenses, $60.50. Mr. and Mrs. John Walgraf, according to reports, had the handsomest costumes. The Band, which is a new organization, may well feel proud of the benefit given them, and their improvement in the art of making "concord of sweet sounds" ought to be even more marked than ever. We learn that the young men are doing excellent work. On the night of Nov. Uth, a terrible tragedy took place in the Palace Variety Theatre at Denver, resulting in the in stant death of Effie Moore, a beautiful 6ong and dance girl. Chas. E. Henry, a young gambler, who had a few days previously drawn $5,000 in the Louisiana lottery, became infatuated with the girl, spent a great deal of money and time upon her, finally asking her to marry him, to which she consented. On the day of the tragedy he learned that she had a husband somewhere. He went to the theatre, called her into a box, or-, dered a bottle of wine, locked the door and in a few minutes fired five shots two striking her in the breast and pass ing through her body. He was taken to jafl. Such k the story as it appeared in the dailies.

The following items from the National City Record will be of interest to many Journal readers: Gerhard Schutte, president of the Carlsbad company, was in National City on Tuesday this week, on business con nected with the company.

He will im mediately settle up affairs back there and bring out his family to National to make a permanent home. Mr. C. has sufficient faith to put in right here all the money he can raise. He has already secured several valuable lots which are making money for him while he sleeps. On Tuesday last, Captain Wadsworth, treasurer of the Carlsbad land and min eral water company, stepped into our sanctum. He reports that the health re sort is prospering and that the outlook daily grows brighter. The Captain stat ed that all the money that had ever been taken out of California and sent abroad was now returning with compound in terest, and that Carlsbad was -receiving a due proportionate share of the returns. A scrap-book is one of the most val uable possessions around a house, if it is made up on sound, economic principle?. The Journal takes occasion to print a paragraph, now and again, appropriate for such a scrap-book, and,adds the fol lowing to the list: Last winter while on a visit, I ate some corned beef, which was the finest I ever tasted, and on inquiry found that the formula, which I send, had been used in preserving it Pack the beef as tightly as possible and fasten down with heavy weights. Beef Pickle Twelve quarts of water, five pounds of salt, three ounces of salt peter, two pounds of sugar. Heat to boiling, skim, pour on boiling-hot, and cover closely. Pouring on the brine boiling-hot closes the pores of the meat, thus preventing the escape of the juice. Mrs. W. C. G. in Rural New Yorker. They likewise seem to have their trouble in Fremont, as well as here, and they also, once in a while at least, do something, as witness from the Tribune: "The people of the northwest part t of the city have for some time suffered great annoyance from the presence of one or two bawdy houses in that section. They have been kept awake nights by the constant rumbling of carriages and hacks along the streets at all hours from dark to daylight, hauling patrons to these institutions. Mayor Stouffer today gave Chief Townsend peremptory orders to drive out the keepers of these houses and' he will see that it is done, whereat the citizens of that portion of the city will greatly rejoice."

How the Pab- lixkera of the Bee Distribute a Large Nam ber of Yalaable PreatfBKts Among Their Patron. The publishers of the Bee are this season offer ing its patrons the largest and most Talnable list of premiums that has erer been awarded by them. For the past seven years the Bee has ananally distributed among its patrons a large number of Talnable and useful articles, increasing the num ber and value each year as the number of sub scribers increased. This system was first inaug urated by the publishers about eightyears ago as the means of collecting back pay, securing renewals and increasing the circulation of the Bee. In this it proved a success. Several thou sand dollars back dues were collected which would otherwise hare been almost entirely lost or expended in enforcing collections through agents or attorneys, and the subscription list was increased from 3,500 to oTer 35,000 in seven years. Each successive year a larger number of sub scribers was secured and the list of premiums was proportionally increased. During the first year only a small portion of the articles distributed were procured in ex change for advertising. When the marked in crease in the circulation became known to the merchants and manufacturers, they willingly offered their goods and machinery in exchange for advertising. In this manner a very valuable selection of premiums was secured, with a com parative small outlay of cash. Almost all the more valuable articles are obtained in this way. Nearly the only outlay in cash made is for the minor premiums, such as books, cutlery, etc. These are purchased at the very lowest wholesale rate in very large quantities. In this way it is made possible to award such a magnificent lot of premiums to subscribers, and send each the paper for one year for the price of two dollars. The following is a partial list of the articles to be awarded at the next distribution: 80 acres of fine land in Colfax Co., Ne braska, valued at $1,200 00 One Omaha city lot 700 00 One Aultman & Taylor threshing ma- One Heilman threshing machine 685 00 One celebrated Weber upright piano 654 00 Fourparlor organs valued at from $115 to 175 00 One Registered Holstein bull 500 00 One Jersey bull calf 100 00 And a large variety of valuablo implements, live stock, guns, watches, household goods, eta, etc, valued in all at over $18,500. The old patrons of the Bee need no assurance of the stability and reliability of the paper, nor do they need to bo informed of the principles it advocates, the fearless defense it makes in behalf of the producers and uncompromising opposi tion to corporato monopolies. It is almost indispensable to the industrial classes of the great west. Send your name and the names and addresses of your friends for free sample copies of the Bee containing the full list of premiums and a large number of acknowledgments from old sub scribers who have received valuable premiums in former years. The subscription price of the Weekly Beo in cluding a premium is $2.00 per year. Address all orders and communications to The Bee Publish ing Co., Omaha Neb. 3 Creston. The health of the community is very good at present Willard Belknap expects to move into his new houBe in town in a few days. Almost too busy corn-husking to write a letter, but will steal a few minutes while wailing for dinner. We have had grand crops this year in this township, consequently every one feels able to pay their debts and get a new suit of clothes. Husking is nearly over; there were very few teams seen in the field on Sat urday; the icy wind drove men and teams into shelter. Mr. E. A. Sage, -who had partially re covered from his severe attack of rheu matism, has had a relapse and is again very ill; he can only more about on crutches. The venerable ex -postmaster, John Drake, seems to be renewing his youth; he walks to the post-office, nearly three miles from his home whenever he wishes to do so; he will celebrate his 80th birth day in a few days. The children are feeling the benefit of prosperity, being able to go to school. Miss Lola Graham has gone to Curtis, Ada Felter to Davenport, la., Allie An derman to Newark, N. J., James B.Miller to Belvue college; the heritage of a sound education is untold wealth. Wm. Dean's horses ran from the corn field last Wednesday; they went nearly four miles without any accident; when they reached F. W. Anderman's house they ran into a tree, broke one wheel off, overturned the box with corn, broke the reach, ran the front wheels into the pas ture carrying out gate, post and wires, then they rushed among the machinery, jumped twice over the table of the self rake; one fell, and, becoming entangled, would have choked but for timely as sistance; they were uninjured. A few weeks ago the same team ran away; one was thrown on the R. R. track, and was released just in time for the coming train. a. District 44 and Vicinity. Shoveling snow is the order since Sat urday. Stock all right but corn not all out John Herring, who has been away since October 1st, looking after his claim in Colorado, returned home Inet Friday, bringing with him a span of young hors es, harness and buggy, making the trip overland in about eight days. On Sat urday, after his return, one of his work horses took sick and died on Sunday morning. One day last week while plowing on the road, one of Henry Krugger's horses choked and fell to the ground immedi ately on gaining his feet he broke loose from his driver and ran away, dragging the other horse and plow after him in such a manner that the point of the plow entered the fore leg of the other horse and protruded on the other side. Mrs. Pickett, wife of Prof. R R. Pick ett, and Frank Hutchins, cousin of A. C. Pickett, left last Wednesday for Revenna, Ohio, she to join her husband there, and he to enter school. Frank came here about two and a half years ago, to live with Mr. Pickett and build himself up a constitution. He is a very fine, quiet, inoffensive boy with no bad habits, and we predict for him a bright future. b. Bismarck Township. T. M. Wilson has purchased a mare of Jacob Schwank. Nothing like having plenty of horses. By the present appearance of things the snow has come to stay and those who have corn still in the field can make preparations for cold husking. Thanksgiving was duly observed here by the killing of Turks and the annihi lation of Greece; probably this is the outcome of the war question between Turkey and Austria. C. G. Christie visited the Bismarck Academy on the 21st; Mr. Christie is an able and efficient teacher who baa taught for sometime past in Colfax and adjoint ing counties; at present he is teaching in Dodge county. We wish him Buccees in his calling and future prosperity in bis undertakings. Chabxxs. BETTCHER &IERSENBROCK, -DEALERS IN- Heavy and Shelf Hardware, Stoves and Tinware, Pumps, Guns and Ammunition.

"In peace prepare for war;" in summer, pre pare for winter, and among your preparations don't forget that if you can save one-third to one-half on your expense for fuel, by aa ap- ilianco of little cost, it will pay you to take a ittle trouble 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 sale of counties. The appliance is an ordinary drum except that it is divided into apartments running the Iengtk of the drum: one of these is virtually a contin uation of tho pipe, when the damper is not turned, and makes a direct draft whea deairtd for starting a fire; when the damper is turned, the partitions aro so arranged that the heated air and smoke go alternately upward and down ward through all tho apartments (usually fit la number, owing to tho relative size of pipe aad drum) and finally up the chimney. The princi ple is precisely the samo as that of the famous Mennonite heating furnaces, and appUjed to oook or heating stoves, utilize a great deal more of the heat evolved from tho fuel than is done by tho ordinary drum. The pictures of progress are these: A fire, on tho ground, under the open canopy of heaven; two posts, a cross stick and the pot of victuals hanging over the fire. Second, the same, only a rude wall around, and a cone-shaied roof, with a hole in the middle for the smoko to curl out at. Third, the open grate, in tho open fire-place, a great portion of tho heat escaping up the chim ney into the outer air. Fourth, the stove. Fifth, tho stove and drum, increasing the amount of surface heated by the same fuol. Sixth, the greatly improved drum, or Radia Ton, with a more intense and therefore more penetrating heat from tho same amount of fuel; forming a reservoir for heat except as it escapes through the metallic enclosure, and what little gets out through the chimnoy. Abundant certificates can be given from those who have used tho Radiatob that it does all that is claimed for it, but the following are suf ficient: Bi.uk Hills, Nkbb., March 21, 1887. I have tested the qualities of tho Marak Radia tor, and it gave satisfaction in every particular he claims for it. Dr. A. J. Rodoxbh. Columbus, Nkbb.. ) June It, 1887. ) I havo tried Francis Marak 's patent radiator on my cook stove and found it to do all that ho claims. It caused tho kettlo to boil and the oven to heat, quick, with one-half tho fuel we had teen using without tho Radiator. We got breakfast with Vi corn cobs, ami the oven vu hot enough to bake biscuits. Joiix L. Stubokox. FAMILY : JOURNAL.
