One day last week the baggage car on the A. & N. caught fire when the train was near Staplehurst, burned the Company mail, and some boxes of corn, bacon, etc, that had leen shipped as personal baggage. The fire also bnrned a hole in the car. Hall & Turner, having at last pro cured castings, will in a day or two be able to meet the demand for their Ra diators. Enough of them have leen in use in the city this winter to demon strate their worth saving one-third to one-half the fuel. 1 Dr. P. Janes, president of the Nob.

He will be at the Grand Pa cific, Thursday, Jan. 5th. At the meeting of the teachers of Colfax county last Saturday, the follow ing subjects were under discussion: "How to conduct opening exercises;" "Drawing;" The patron, the school board and the school ;" "Music in school ;" "Language in the district school." m The U. P. railroad well at Genoa has been finished. At a depth of thirty-five feet were discovered evidences of hazel nuts, hickory nuts, acorns, besides va rious kinds of timber, in logs. Lime stone taken from the well was used in making mortar. Altogether the find was a very interesting one. The losses at the Schuyler fire Sat urday week, as given in the Quill, were Sutherland Bros. $9,000, insurance $7,000; Molacek k Fopelas $5,500, insur ance $2,000; T. B. Turrill $200, no in surance; M. B. Erichsen 84,400, insur ance $900; E. Klein $800; other losses mall the total footing up $22,620. The Nebraska State Grange favors the idea of loans by the government at a rate sufficient to cover all expenses and through a central bank and local branch es. The scheme is not altogether new, but whether the men who make the laws can be made to see the advisability of it, is a question of, serious doubt. "What every farmer of the west wants' is a factory in his community. It en hances the value of his products by insuring a strong demand, and eliminat ing the cost of transportation to distant markets which always absorbs a large portion of his otherwise legitimate in come. The farmer is benefited by pro tection. Fremont Tribune. There is n band of sixty-five Omaha Indians camped near the Loup. They are waiting till the snow melts to go up the Loup trapping for beaver. Two bucks were in town Monday buying coffee nnd sugar, with money got from the sale of five pounds of beaver Bkin at $1 a pound. They seemed to take great pride ' in the big 1 leaver whose hide brought them 83. The Schuyler Herald reports a real live anarchist from Columbus sojourn ing down there, aud that he was given to understand by several Germans there that thiB country was no place for an archists, uud that when he differed with this government it was simply his own mistake at his own peril. Guess there must be some mistuke again. Columbus lias no anarchists. Tomorrow (Thursday) is the last day for the county supervisors elect to qualify." If a majority of the supervis ors, after having filed their lionds and taken the oath, shall appear on the 5th and organize as provided by lnw, the new board will have a legal existence. The first meeting of the board is usually the most important one of the year, aud it is desirable that all le present. A visitor to Blair, Neb., last week, noticed a multitude of crows, making themselves quietly at home in the back lots, streets and alleys. He was informed that this is the second winter they have passed in this way. They are regarded as jets by the citizens, and repay the hospitality they receive by eating all manner of refuse, thus keeping the town free from decaying matter. Paul Hagel tells us that the butter and egg business is fairly active the first, 10 to 18 cents according to quality, fresh eggs 18. These prices, with this firm, are cash. They ship a large amount of these products, and the business grows every year. The Journal le lieves there is a greater per cent, of profit in raising eggs than there is in raising beef, and there is always a good demand. - The resjiectable and self-respecting communities of Nebraska are making an outcry against rowdyism, hoodlumism, the gatning-tahle, the bawdy-house and the doggery that violates the liquor law every day of its life and brings young lads to ruin. The last outory is from Seward, where, it seems, that Sunday whiskey in loafing bummers has done bad work recently. Insist on the au thorities abating the nuisances. List of presents given by A. J.

Chandlers of Niobrara aud Miss Stella G. North of this city. The Jour nal tenders its congratulations iu ad vance to the happy couple and wishes them a full share of the happiness iu store for two young people of good sense nnd spirit, who have chosen each other as life companions. The married couple will be at home at Niobrara after Jan uary 11th. Our eoteinporary, 1 he Fremont Trib une, has put in place a new, two-revolution Optimus Babcock press, which arrived Wednesday last. The are finely equipped as a newspaper and job print ing firm, nnd will soon be ready to do every kind of work that may come to hand. The firm of Hammond Bros, are well-adapted to gather business from near and from' far, and the community of Fremont have fully demonstrated that they appreciate the immense good work that the Tribune has been doing for them. -One of the many industries that would pay well in Columbus is a canning factory. Operated on a large scale it would give employment to hundreds of eople, and help make Columbus a man ufacturing center, as she now is a rail road center. The canning factories at Blair nnd Tekamah netted a profit last year to the stockholders of over $5,000 for the season. Columbus's start for ward in the road of progress, the next step and the most solid of all, will be the establishment of manufactures and wholesale houses. Blind Boone Concert. This remark able blind pianist appeared last evening at the Accademy of Music before a large and critical audience. The occasion was one of double interest, it being the first performance of Mr. Boone on his new Chickering grand piano, purchased for him by his manager, Mr. John Lange, ait a cost of 850 from Max Meyer & Bro., of this city. Mr. Boone's playing is really wonderful. Herald, Omaha, Neb., Dec. 15, 1885. At the Congregational church Monday evening, Jan. 9, 1888. Reserved seats 35 cents at Pollock's. The Columbus Loup-river, bridge bond case was to have been heard by the supreme court yesterday. At this writing (noon Tuesday) no word has been received here. It seems that the Attorney General relies on section 77, chapter 14 providing- that "all public bridges exceeding sixty-six feet in length over any stream crossing a 6tate or a county highway shall be construct ed and kept in repair by the county," to defeat the registration of the bonds. The case has excited considerable inter est throughout the state, and an ex haustive opinion by the court may be looked for. The Quill raps the churches of Schuyler over the knuckles thus: "A large per cenL of Schuyler's church peo ple are drunkards in a more or less degree. If society did net lionize these same fellows and would turn a cold shoulder to a man who so lowers him self in the scale of humanity it would be somewhat different. We consider our church affairs in this city of a weak na ture, with one or two exceptions. Our language on this subject may be a little strong, but it is true and when a person touches on such a subject it should be handled without gloves. A man has a right in a sense of the word to do what be pleases with himself, but the public has no right to uphold him and honor him in hu recklessness. We repeat it, Schuyler takes the belt." "' PERSONAL. Cyrus Davis of Kansas is visiting in the city. Dovie Becher is visiting friends at Omaha. J. C Martin of Silver Creek was in the city Friday. G. W. Clark of Humphrey was in the, city Tuesday. Prof. H. D. Shaff visited Schuyler during the vacation. Prof. Backus aud family visited friends at Ulysses Christmas. H. M.

Reeder has gone to Michigan to Michigan to go into business for himself. Customers at Oehlrich Btob. will miss him from his accustomed haunts, but wish him well wherever he may 1m. M. II. Carleton, Esq., of Loup City was a Columbus visitor Wednesday lost; having been elected Supt. of Schools, he has a Polish newspaper plant that he wishes to sell. He could not interest any of our monied Polish patriots, as they are too busy otherwise and have no desire to go into the newspaper business. School Kfpurt Koll of Honor.

The North Nebraska Teachers' As sociation met at Blair last week, and they had from all accounts, a very inter esting and of course to those present a profitable session. D. A. Cooper, presi dent of the association, delivered a very brief but earnest and well-considered address -the central idea being "that plan of education which will produce the best results is the one for which wo seek, the plan which is most complete in all its parts." Miss Amanda Olsen of Tekamah read an interesting paper on The Kindergarten that was out of the usual course. Prof. L. J. Cramer of this city spoke on the subject of "Uniformi ty of High School Work," after which there was a discussion by Profs. Cramer, Backus, and others. Prof. W. B. Back us of this city was elected secretary, and the meeting adjourned to hold their next annual convention in this city. We have always understood that the Columbus Packing House quit business because they could not get rates from the railroad companies that would justify them to ship their pro ducts; that so long as they could get rates, their Tenture did well enough, but that, for some reason, both railroad companies combined, making a discrimi nation against Columbus in favor of Omaha, virtually closing the outside market from the Columbus Packing House. Whether it would le profitable for the owners of this institution to start up again, since the interstate com merce law and the state commission have made a little change in things, is a question the Journal cannot answer. That everylody interested in the wel fare of Columbus would like to see it running and making money goes with out saying. Dlstri. t 44 ami Virlnlly. The blizzard of Saturday reached this place, but dealt gently with us, compar ed with storms of former years. A train of wagons loaded with corn passed hore Monday for Columbus; the grain was shipped through the agent of Farmers' association. It's a boy at Mike Sheedy's, who put iu an appearance just on the eve of the blizzard; all well, and Mr. Sheedy was in Columbus Monday. Regular meetings of the Farmers' as sociation on the first Saturday after the first Monday in each month. A meet ing at Ives school-house in district 71, next Saturday at 7 p. m., where it goodly attendance is desired. This being the first of the new year, with hogs 83.00, corn 35 to .'17 cents, the farmers begin to talk of putting an L on the main building and a lean-to-on the L, in fact we " believe there is a brighter future for the tiller, just as it should be. Rude sleighs of every description were brought out Sunday and Monday, of this week. Palestine. Nels Anderson has rented his farm to Mr. Coop for five years. Mr. A. will go back to Chicago to live. This is the re port now it may bo something else next time. Sven Svenson went to Genoa with a load of grain and on the way home one of his horses was taken sick. They got home with it and daring the night the sick "one killed the other in some way. The sick horse got well. Christmas lasted from Saturday till Monday night. There were Christmas trees in all the churches and several family trees were well piled. Quite u number of the friends of the P. M. took dinner with him Monday. Mrs. M. A. Hoyt of St. Edward spent Christmas at Palestine. Rev. A. W. Snider of Columbus came on Monday aud spent the week at Pal estine. The weather was very unpro pitiotis, yet meetings were held three nights in the school-house, the other two evenings at a private house. The family who had the privilege of enter taining Mr. S. enjoyed his company very much. The old year is leaving us rather spitefully. We hope his successor will be more pleasant. Dax. Our correspondent refers to a lengthy piece of rhymes written on the ''Thresh ing of the Hog." It seems to us thut the ancient Era, under Mr. Hensley's administration, had a reference to the "threshing of hogs," when speaking of delinquent subscribers. Send the lines along, and let us look at them. Ed. Joiuinal. Biiiiitrt'k Townhip. Roads rather slippery last week. William Cats left for Omaha Monday. William Craun, who is atteuding the High School at Columbus, Waited the Academy on the 30th. Otto Mueller has sold 780 bushels of corn to C. H. Sheldon. Otto is not quite done husking, however, having two loads in the field yet. During the recent snow storm, snow banks assumed enormous proportions, and threatened to obliterate all traces of civilization in this vicinity, but after an unsuccessful attempt desisted. E. M. Stickly is rapidly hauling away his corn to C. H. Sheldon. Mr. Stickly has several thousand bushels of as fine corn as we have seen any where this year, and he is justly proud of it. Christopher Esslinger of Arapahoe, Neb., who has been visiting friends and relations here for the paBt week,returned home Monday last; Chris, formerly re sided in this vicinity and hence his royal reception and entertainment. August Weisshand, a former resident of Bismark, is back on a visit. Mr. W. resided here about 12 years, but remov ed to Petaluma, CaL, four years ago. He talks some of buying and settling in old Bismark. Should he decide to do so he will be cordially received by his many friends. The spelling match and exhibition at the Academy on the 26th of Dec, was a success in every respect. The crowded house which greeted the performance from time to time showed plainly that all the exercises were appreciated by those present. The ablest speller in the intermediate grade was Jessie Moore, while Pompey Squash, (or your humble servant), carried off the honors in the senior grade. Charles. Shell Creek Items. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Walker of Denver, Col., have been visiting at Wm. Bloe dorn's and at Mr. A. Henrich's, the fatherhouse of Mrs. W. and of Mrs. Bloe dorn.

H. of Columbus was also there. J. S. also visited his mother-in-law, Mrs. Alexander. Mr. and Mrs. Walker brought big and small presents to all around, the biggest being a splen did new npright piano to Mrs. Bloedorn. Farmers are looking out for seed for next settson. Mr. A. Henrich bought 40 bushels of seed wheat of Mr. G. Lamb, Mr. T. T. Tholles bought 50 bushels of Mr. Ely Jones. Cornshellors and fan ning mills are going lively. The people at Met, had a fine Christ mas tree on Monday night (Dec. 2fith) and, thongh the cold snap set in, the house was crowded and when tho well laden tree was relieved of its burden, young and old were well pleased with their presents. All enjoyed the occasion nnd will remember it till Christinas, 1888, or longer. The German Sunday school scholars spoke aud sang finely. All who contributed money and labor were well rewarded by pleasure and en joyment. Miss Martha Moeller came all the way from southern Colorado to visit her parents and friends, but they had mean while all moved away to Colorado. She is now stopping with Mr. George Mock more on Mr. A. Henrich's farm. Hard times for coal in many places till over the country. Last winter the coal kings of Pennsylvania met and resolved to mine only bo much coal, I think about CO million bushels less than the actual demand of the consumers. This was a double stroke inflicted on the poor miners on one hand to deprive them of work and crash them, and on the other hand, on the whole people, raising coal to exorbitant prices. Mr. Editor, is it right to hang poor Molly McGuires, Anarchists, Communists and othersmall thieves and let those begetters of them these R. It, coal and other kingly mo nopolists ran free? Oppression begets opposition. Suppress oppression and a long suffering public will be satisfied. Mr. Weaver's article in the Journal had the right ring. He demands of Co lumbus merchants and capitalists to meet the farmers half way, so to speak. But Mr. Weaver cannot shorten dis tances, and ns long as the farmer can get as much, or nearly as much, for his produce, and can buy what he needs for as little or nearly as little, by going from two to ten miles, as by going from fifteen to twenty, he will naturally prefer the "short haul." Prices for produce could only materially be raised in Columbus by home consumption, and prices for articles needed could only be lowered by home manufacture. What Columbus needs is factories, as the writer has maintained all these years. Nor is pub lic spirit among merchants and capital ists in Columbus entirely wanting. A pork house and a creamery, a fair asso ciation and some other enterprises have been started; the first one had to be closed, the second is only kept up at a continual loss to the stockholders and other enterprises have gone down en tirely. Why? Because the public spirit of the enterprising men in and around Columbus has not been responded to by sin equal public spirit among the' farm ing community. x. y. z.

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 moderate drink er or an alcoholic wreck. Thousands of drunkards have been made temperate men who have taken Golden Specific in their coffee without their knowledgend today believe they quit drinking of their own free will. IT NEVER FAILS.
