Kibler, traveling salesman. 83tf There must have been something ex ceedingly funny at one of the late'meet ings of the Knights of Pythias, judging by the convulsions of members when they meet. Of course they never give anything away, which makes it rather severe on outsiders. For some reason or other the editorial table of the Journal has not the pleas ure of holding up a copy of the Platte Center News, a new venture in the field of journalism in Platte county, and the eighth, living paper of the county. What's the matter? More Nebraska insurance companies are being talked of. That is right, Let everything be done at home, that can be. If money is to be made by insurance companies, and, after earned, invested by them, let the transactions be fully rounded at home, among Nebraskans. On Monday Dra. Martyn & Schug amputated six fingers for John Miller; on Tuesday morning they amputated eight fingers and two toes for Mrs. Jos. Miller. Both were sufferers in the recent "blizzard;" particulars of their experi ence have already been given in the Journal. We print a letter from Byron Mil- lett at Denver this week. Nebraskans, so far as we know, have no reason to complain of the weather we havo had re cently, notwithstanding the roseate hue of the snow-capped mountains in the presence of which our old-time friend writes his letter. An interesting case has been on trial before His Honor, Judgo Hudson, the last few days, involving the validity of the appointment of guardian for Mrs. Kuhns. Appointment was made by a special probate judge, and this suit is brought with a view of setting aside all proceedings, as. void. Co. Supervisor Williams of Duncan was in the city Saturday. W learn from him that he has resigned his office, and that he will remove this week to his farm three miles from Rising, Butler county. The Journal, with the many warm friends of Mr. Williams and his family, is sorry to see good citizens leave. Al. Arnold the veteran hunter and health seeker from Columbus, Neb., ar rived this morning from the south. He expects to take in all the Iteauties of the finest coast resort in the state, a good portion of the Carlsbad mineral water and surprise the deer over the hills as a recreation. We extend our old friend a -warm welcome ami hereuv command San Diego county deer to stand up and take the music. Sea Lion, Feb. 4. H. A. Atchison, a pedler who resided in the city a short time last summer and went west in the fall, has lately tieen reported as missing, a corpse, thought to be his, having been found in a well in one of the mountain towns. Rumor has often been found at fault before and in this case she was certainly in error, as John Tannahill received a letter from Mr. Atchison last week, and he is alive and well and living in Logan county. Mr. M. C. Calto, book-keeper for Schroeder Bros., this city, started east Saturday last in response to a telegram of the day previous from Fredonia, Wis., announcing the death of hit wife at that place, of consumption. Mrs. C. left the city some months ago to visit eastern friends, when she was stricken down with the dread disease. Mr. Calto has the heartfelt sympathy of his numerous friends here in this, his sad hour of be reavement, H. M. Winslow tells us of a district in Pierce county where they do not have their schools in operation unless there is abundance of fuel on hands for an emergency; they provide the teacher with a box of crackers, not to be used except during a storm. It is generally understood by parents, and the teacher is so instructed, that teacher and child ren will remain in the school-house during a severe storm. A good plan for every district. A. L. Bixby, whose return we noted last week, has taken editorial charge of the Fullerton Telescope and changed the name to Sentinel. He is not in love with Colorado, where he has been the past seven months, "the land of cactus, sand and potatoes five cents a pound," but thinks "the nearest approach to tho perfect combination of climate and nat ural resources is the state of Nebraska, by all odds the most prosperous of western states." Our facetious friend, L. A. Clark, editor of the Carlsbad (Cal.) Sea Lion, charges the Journal with being the "author of the bold and reckless claim" that a certain water melon that figured in a recent Carlsbad feast, was raised in Nebraska, on the farm of our good friend Col. Geo. W. Stevens. Not so. We thought we were "truthfully informed" in regard to the matter, and see no rea son to believe otherwise, even from what friend Clark now says in the Sea Lion. Mr. Burgess made an emphatic hit as Mrs. Puffy, in "Vim," last night The audience was large and scarcely found time to catch its breath, between laughs, from beginning to end of the piece. "Vim" overflows with that sort of fun which is sure to strike the risibility of an audience, broad and homely, but not unwholesome. The incidents of the play are new and sharp. Mr. Burgess' make up is comical, but artistic "Vim" is certainly the best thing of the kind yet put upon the stage. Washington Post, October 23. At Opera House, Saturday evening, Feb. 18th. Sup't Cramer has sent the following to State Sup't Lane, as to storm inci dents in this county: "Fortunately, we have no casualties to report from this county. The teachers, with rare excep tions, exercised a degree of caution and judgment that cannot be too highly commended. Nearly all remained with their pupils in the school room, until morning. There is a lesson for directors in this matter that should be remem bered always; and that is, that no school should be permitted to run without an abundance of fuel constantly on hand. Fortunately, the storm lulled in the morning, and by eight o'clock on the following Friday morning both pupils and teachers were safely at home. Had the storm continued, (as was so frequent ly the case in former years), for two or three days, the results, in several in stances, would have been horrible. As it was, in several oases the teachers were compelled to burn the desks in order to keep up the temperature of the room. While these storms, so fateful to man and beast, are comparatively rare in onr state, yet they are of sufficiently fre quent occurrence to put all on their guard and to justify every measure pos sible to mitigate their effects." PEBSONAL. John Schmoker of Duncan was in town Monday. W. H. Winterbotham of Genoa was in the city Monday. James Hudson of Boone county was a Columbus visitor Thursday. 'Mrs. E. R Lanphear returned Thurs day from visiting relatives at Fremont. Nich Blaser, the bridge builder, was in the city Monday, on business, of course. Jacob Tschudin of the Loup valley waB a visitor to the county seat Monday. Mrs.Geer'8 health is improving, though she is not vet able to take her place as teacher. Chas. W. Pearsall of Grand Island has been visiting his parents in this city the past week. Fred. Jewell and Saml Hodson of Oconee gave us a pleasant call Thurs day morning. W. D. Hanchett, the postmaster at Palestine, was in the city last week, and gave us a pleasant call. E. S. Clark of Champlaic, HI., is en gaged with the enterprising firm of McKiuley & Carnahan. Platte Center was in town Monday by the wholesale Rossiter, Bloedorn, Nie- moller, Saunders, Murphy add others. Ed. Cooncey, oldest son of Clark Coon cey, passed through the city yesterday on his way to Washington Ty., whore he expects to make his future home. Mrs. John Elliott went to Omaha on the morning train Friday to spend two weeks with her daughter Mrs. B. M. Gillan, who is sick at this writing, Feb ruary 10th. John Engel of Duncan called at these headquarters on business Monday with Mr. Ernst, Their section of county is flourishing finely, and preparations are being made for increased farm work this year. Firr at Platte Center Thursday morning between four and five o'clock, a fire broke out it the rear of R. W. Hughes's Btore at Platte Cen ter, and resulted in the following losses: Mrs. T. C. Ryan, building, S800, in surance S500. Hallen & Byrne, S3,000, insurance S2.000. Terrance Brady, $1,200, no insurance. R. L. Rossiter, post office stationery $800, no insurance. The Misses. Duffy, $500, no insurance. A. Henry $1,000, no insurance. R. W. Hughes $4,000, insurance $3,000. D. H. Carrig $1,600, insurance $300. Paiste & Brown $800, no insurance. Argus office, damages claimed $1,200, no insurance. Dr. Wm. Edwards, damage to stock and building $500, no insurance. A goodly portion of the mail in the boxes, was lost The Argus had worked off about one third their edition, the local forms being yet on the press. These were carried ont, and the edition completed from the Journal office in this city, so that the paper was issued on time, with an ac count of the fire. We are informed that good buildings will soon take the place of those burned down. This, we believe, is the first severe loss by fire that our sister town has had, and it was well that the morning was calm; had it been otherwise there is no telling how great the loss might have been. The Journal hopes that over the ruins may rise better houses, and that Platte Center, thoroughly warned by fire, may take the warning to heart and provide for the future. Real Estate Transfers.

His gray team is rather lively and a little more so than usual on a cold winter evening. On this occasion, he had a top-box to his wagon, and a seat on top of that, and while getting in to the wagon, for some reason or other one of his horses shied to one side, pull ing the lines and throwing Mr. Law rence to the ground. His face around his right eye was very considerably in jured. His hand will soon be all right, but his black eye will take some time to h?a: Ocoaee. John Fredericks is still on the sick list.

Mrs. Bolton is sick with neuralgia, and Charlie with a sore throat. Bev. Mr. Barnes, who was formerly pastor of the United Brethren church in thie vicinity, died recently near Hart- ington in this state. Nels Anderson's sale will be on the 23d of this month. Mr. and.

There will be an oyster supper at the house of Wm. H. Hanchett on Feb. 21st for the purpose of getting lamps for the school-house. Miss Maggie Hurley has been afflicted with St. Vitas' dance for several weeks. We are glad to learn that she is im proving. A sister of Mrs. Nels Anderson from Wisconsin is visiting her for the winter. By favor of Mr. Christensen, we re ceived fifty fine calendars from P. W. Henrieh, Esq., for which we are sin cerely grateful. Master Martin Walen was riding on a hand sled tied behind a wagon when the sled slipped sidewise throwing lum off on the rough, frozen ground cutting quite a severe gash in his head. The horrible murder of Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock of California recently has a more than passing interest for us. Mrs. H's father's family were near and highly esteemed neighbors at one time. Many a warm heart in different places grieves for this stricken family under this un usual, sad affliction. The murderer was lynched, as he ought to have been. He had no mercy on his victims, he de served none from man. A youngman who lives in this county somewhere went to Lindsay not long ago. He went into a saloon, too. He was not as straight when ho came out as when he went in, nor as sober, either. He attempted to get into his wagon but he was not ready to jump when it came round to him. Ab the horses started, the wagon ran over his shoulder and one leg. He tried the saloon again the next day and fell into the cellar; did not learn the result of this last feat. O, saloon! Noble name! what a high moral charac ter they give a town! Dan. District 44 and Vicinity. Sometime last Friday night some qier son without the fear of God before them, went to the barnyard of Win. Lockhart, one mile east of the city, and there in the dark of the night drove a team and wagon up to a large hay rick and pro ceeded to make a division in the center of the stack with a sharp hay knife, taking with them the east half of the stack, and driving off in the direction of Columbus. The parties would confer a favor by returning the weigh bill, by which means Mr. Lockhart could deter mine the amount of hay he has left. Last Wednesday afternoon, while Tom Reagan, who lives about yz miles east of the city, was riding into town on horseback, when within a few rods of the hospital the horse which was driven at an easy gait came upon a strip of ice, slipped and fell, breaking Tom's right leg in two places below the knee; the ice was covered with about two inches of light snow which deceived Tom and his noble beast; after suffering in this helpless condition a few minutes, which no doubt seemed hours to him, he was convoyed to the hospital which was near by, where he received as good care as one could have in any home. Dr. Evans has the fracture in charge, all of which is sufficient guarantee that Tom's legs will yet furnish the motive power with which to sow his oats. Saturday afternoon while Wrillie Hig gins was at Mrs. Drinnin's, he noticed the old houpe dog on top of u snow drift in a small grove, and that he was going through some very queer motions; the dog would put his fore paw down into the snow, then withdraw it, and look back as if he wanted the boy to come there, too; on going to the place Willie saw, through a small opening, what proved to be a large Tom-turkey buried about four feet iu the snow, where he had been imprisoned since the great blizzard of Jan. 12th, thirty days with out food; when first removed he could not stand and was a mere skeleton with wet feathers; he eats now and is evident ly intending to catch up by Thanksgiv ing. The boys have named him Tanner in honor of his predecessor. In consequence of sickness Stephen Waggoner has not been able to attend to the duties of his office for several days, but the shipping business has not suffered in consequence of his absence as Mr. Barnes is looking after the ship ments until Steve is able again for duty.
