we are able to judge.

that any of the doctor's friends here
should cause the blush of modesty to
flush the good doctor's face, in the
presence of all the Herald readers.

We hear that the 62 pound water
melon which our old friend Captain

to last Christmas was raised here on
Stevens's watermelon patch near this

this 62 pounder, but would suggest to
the perpetual-blooming-booming-South-eru-Californians
not to keep watermel
ons too long in the cellar so that when
they are dished up as 'native," they are
not rotten.
The young lady teacher Miss Free
man who saved the lives of thirteen pu
pils during the storm, by tying all to

is a niece of S. E. Cushing of this city.
The door and, the roof of the school -house

the storm. Ord may well be proud of
such a girl wise, brave and good.
Beatrice has a canning factory, so
has Blair, and both have paid a good
interest on the investment, besides being
of great value to their communities in
giving employment and in gathering
money from the outside. The soil near
Columbus cannot be excelled for raising
vegetables and the demand for the pro
ducts of a canning institution is just as
lively here as anywhere in the west.
There is absolutely no reason why Co
lumbus should not be blessed with a
canning factory, and, the sooner the
better.
The National City (Cal.) Record has
this mention of present and former Co
lumbus citizens: "Mr. George Lehman,
of Columbus, Nebraska, was in National
City on Tuesday this week, accompanied
by Samuel C. Smith, of Carlsbad. Mr.
Lehman is one of the most popular hotel
men in Nebraska, and is out in this
country for a purpose he has been stop
ing over at Carlsbad for a week or two,
and has invested at the great coming
resort Messrs. Smith and Lehman re
mained over night, before returning to
Carlsbad, the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
George B. Smith, on Prospect Heights."
Let every property owner, mechanic,
day-lalorer, man, woman and child of
Columbus determine that in this year
1888 something will be done, more than
in 1887 towards the building up of this
community. Let every man who can do
so, invest some money in improvements
to his dwelling or his business some
thing that promises a reasonable profit
on the investment, either as a money
rental or a return in added comfort or
convenience for self or family. Give a
turn to the wheel of progress. Start a
ball rolling. Do something. Live and
let live. Work, yourself, and help others
to remunerative employment. Lay plans
for some enterprise. The sum total of
public prosperity is made by the addi
tion of individual effort.
Patrick Coleman of Wayne, Neb.,
was in the city Friday and gave us a
very pleasant call. He gave us a good
many items in regard to Wayne county.
They make specialties there of having
good graded roads, with bridges wherev
er needed: they build first-class school
houses, employ excellent teachers, pay
them well and have school nine months
of the year; they always have money in
the county treasury for the payment of
little bills when presented, and the
judges and clerks of election are not
compelled to listen to the stereotyped
phrase, "that fund is dry, we cannot pay
it" He says that the soil of Wayne is
much more productive than people gen
erally think; the subsoil is a reddish
clay. Mr. C. expected to return home
Monday of this week.
Superintendent Cramer is anxious
to present a good showing of school
work from the schools of Platte county
at the coming exhibit at Fremont dur
ing the meeting of the state association
the latter part of March. It is hoped
that the teachers and pupils of the
county will take an interest in the mat
ter, and that each district will be repre
sented in the exhibit The display will
consist, of examination papers, original
composition on any subject, specimens
of drawing, handiwork of any kind from
pupils of the county, Buch as models of
buildings or machinery; work in joining,
whittling or moulding in clay; maps,
drawings with pencil or pen; pictures
made with pen, pencil or brush; speci
mens of knitting and needle work, etc
Circulars giving definite directions will
be issued in due time.
The Lew Johnson Colored Minstrels
will hold the boards at the Opera House
tonight The company come well en
dorsed by both press and public. An
exchange says: "Lew Johnson's Black
Baby Boy Minstrels played a one night's
engagement to a large and highly de
lighted audience at Turner Hall last
Wednesday night The end men got off
some very excellent jokes and succeeded
in keeping the house in a constant,
hilarious uproar. The specialties of
Dick Consby, Taylor Green, Burl Hawk
ins and Sam Wade are all well done.
They are a whole show. Wade, as Solo
mon Levi, the Jew, was especially good,
while the bass solo 'Rocked in the Cradle
of the Deep rendered by Mr. J. B. Man
ning received encore after encore. The
drum major act was the finest ever seen
here. The finale, 'Well Paint de House
Red,' was a very laughable comedy and
was well performed. Mr. Johnson ex
pressed himself as highly gratified with
his success both here and in Minneapolis.
The company left Thursday morning
for Bed Wing, where they open the new
opera house." St Paul Globe, Dec. 10,

The many friends of James Bell of
David City, in former years a Columbus
resident, will be glad to hear that he is
recovering from his recent very Bevere
illness, and is now able to sit up. Dr.
Bonesteel of Denver was called to see
him at the crisis of his ailment.
Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Millor and babe
came down Friday from their home in
Wheeler county to be hero where Mrs.
M. could have medical attention during
her recovery from the effects of the
storm. Drs. Martyn & Schug are in at
tendance, and it is hoped that no am
putation will be necessary.
Mr. Miller tells us that none of the
published accounts, so far as he has
seen, were accurate. The morning of the
storm was nice and pleasant. Two col
ored men, neighbors of Mr. Miller, had
been to Ewing with hogs, and on their
return trip had two teams, attached to
sleds, boxed high. In the forward sled the
men rode, in the rear sled Mrs. Miller,
her son Frank Metz, aged 11, and her
daughter aged ; and when the storm
began, the hind team was tied to a
spring seat, loose on the rear of tha
front sled. The storm had raged but a
little while when the men noticed that
the other team was not following. They
walked a long distance back, wandered
along the sides of the road, and hallo
ed to make known that they were near,
bnt there was no response, or none that
they could hear. Frank imagined, at
times, that he could hear a man and
would get out of the sled to listen and
try to urge the horses along, tho fact
being, as afterwards learned that their
eyes were completely encased in ice.
Thus the dreary night was passed, Mrs.
Miller with the babe in her arms, hug
ged close to her body and wrapped well,
was comparatively comfortable; the sled
filling with snow, Mrs. Miller's feet and
hands were frosted and benumbed, and
Frank, though clad warmly in overcoat,
with good overshoes, exhausted himself
getting in and out, in endeavoring to
urge the team to move and in trying to
keep the wraps on his mother and little
sister. At last he lost heart, said to his
mother, "We might as well die here as
anywhere: nobody will find us; we've got
to die anyhow." He had done his best,
exhausted his energies, and was soon
froze to death.
In the meantime, the colored men
abandoned their team, lost their way,
wandered; at last they struck a wire
fence, followed along it until they came
to a hog pen, in which they rested
awhile, recovered from their panic,
made calculations as to where they
were, and started out for, the dwelling
on the premises, which they reached
about three o'clock in the morning. At
daylight they again went in search of
lost ones and found them at about 9
o'clock as above described. The party
were at the time about seven miles from
their home. Mrs. Miller may, possibly,
lose some of her toes and a joint of one
of the fingers of her left hand. One of
the babe's feet was slightly frosted.
Cement Work.
There is probably no more favorable
place in Nebraska for the manufacture
of artificial stone than Columbus, and,
as we learn, there would be a considera
ble profit in it. Mr. Jacob Glure has
gained quite a local reputation as a
worker in cement, having been indus
triously engaged for several years at
different branches of the business, and
given entire satisfaction as to his work.
He believes that with an establishment
costing $600 he could give constant em
ployment the year round to eight men,
and have no trouble whatever in dispos
ing of the product. Would it not be
well for some one to take the initiative
in starting a stock company to engage
in this business? A little from each of
fifty men would Btart the ball rolling,
and give us a much-needed, profitable
institution that would be a considerable
benefit
The Last Week!
This is the last week of the Fire Store,
and the balance of the stock will be
slaughtered regardless of value. Don't
miss the last chance to get greater bar
gains than you will probably ever see
again. Men's heavy kip boots, screw
bottom, at $1.45; men's heavy wool
socks 15c; men's suits and overcoats at
one-half their value; boys heavy winter
suits $1.35; men's dollar caps will be
closed at 25c; ladies' fine kid shoes $1.10
and everything else in same proportion,
and this is positively the last week.
Railroad Wreck.
Monday night, about 10 o'clock, an
east-bound stock train was thrown from
the track, at the siding east of Silver
Creek and about thirteen mills west of
this city, on the Union Pacific, by a
broken switch-rod; the engine was
thrown over on its side and the eighteen
cars of the train piled on both sides of
the track in about equal numbers. No
persons, it seems, were killed or injured.
Two hundred sheep were killed.
The Commercial Baak
Of this city only recently opened its
doors, but is fast gaining in business.
They have already large deposits by
some of the best businessmen and pri
vate citizens. They allow a very liberal
interest on time deposits. They give
courteous and liberal treatment by their
officers. These, with the foundation fact
that its stockholders are a guarantee of
the perfect responsibility of the institu
tion, will bring business to the bank.
Mr. C. H. Sheldon, the president of the
bank, is a successful stockraiser, is well
known throughout this section of the
state as a straight-forward man, and the
institution is to be congratulated on
having such a man at its head. Hon.
W. A. McAllister, vice president, is so
well known not only among us but
throughout tho state, that words need
not be multiplied; a man of the strictest
integrity, clear-headed, an able lawyer,
an excellent financier, a representative
man of the people wherever he is placed,
ho has the confidence of every one.
Robert Uhlig, the cashier, a resident of
the state for twenty years, is thoroughly
well known as a citizen and business
man, and represents his institution very
ably. Always courteous, accommoda
ting and prompt, he understands human
nature as well as the banking business,
and gives his time and attention exclu
sively to the affairs of his institution.
His assistant, Dan'l Schram, is a young
man well known to most of our citizens,
having been raised here among us; teller,
for several years, of the First National
Bank of this place, he is very well qual
ified in every way for his present posi
tion. As to the stockholders J. P. Beck
er, Jonas Welch. Carl Reinke, H. P. H.
Oehlrich and H. M. Winslow, they are
all very well known citizens, business
men. farmers and stock-raisers, each one
a success in business affairs, and all of
them solid, financially. Thus much as
to the personnel of the bank. Monday
they received their splendid new Die
bold safe, a piece of bank furniture
every way most complete. Not large, it
is very solid, weighing"J5,200 lbs., price
81400 burglar-proof, air-tight and anti
dynamite, the time lock alone costing
tho manufacturers $235. With every
needed facility for the quick transaction
of business, with every latest and best
appliance for the safe-keeping of money
entrusted to their care, the Commercial
Bank starts on what we have no doubt
will be a long successful career.

Editor Journal: During the past
year the following improvements have
been made in our little city. While they

made iu that part of our city known,
locally, as "Polish America," but I am
not suitably acquainted with parties to
report. J. D. Brewer.
Columbus owes it to her manufac
turing interests already established to
help them along in every way possible,
by speaking a good word for them to
prospective customers: by sending them
buyers; thus doing, they will flourish,
make money, increase their investment
by the addition of better facilities for
doing work, which will give greater cap
acity again for making money. Take,
for instance, our broom factor', owned
and operated by Mr. Berger. He works
late into the night to try to keep up
with his orders; he makes excellent
brooms of every variety; could sell read
ily a hundred times as many as he
makes, and could, if he had ready capi
tal, give employment to a hundred and
fifty men. The Journal is not informed
whether Mr. Berger would be willing to
take charge of a joint stock institution
of large proportions, but only knows
that here is a nucleus, an established in
dustry, on a good foundation, that could,
at once, be lifted into state prominence,
if fifty men with fifty dollars apiece
would give attention to it With com
munities the same general principles
hold as with individuals: let us make
the very best -nse of what we've got, and
add to it; let us grasp our opportunities
with a firm. John-Wise grip, and hold
fast; let us look out for our town, our
community, our lines of business suc
cess, our channels of trade, build up and
improve all the enterprises that have
now a foot hold here; nse our raw ma
terial, employ our labor, sell the manu
factured product, and bring money from
elsewhere, to do more manufrcturing
here. This is the outline for action, and
it is, in brief, the written history of
every thriving, bustling, manufacturing
center in Christendom. Gen. Sherman
said a good thing lately when quoting
the old adage, "Knowledge is power,"
he added, "action is power."
