North of this city, chair man of the democratic state central committee, has issued a call for their meeting at the Paxton House, Omaha, March 9 at 7:30 p. m., for the purpose of calling the state convention. The masqurade ball of the Hookies, Feb. 22d was a complete success in every particular, so we are informed. About 860 was the net proceeds. To Miss Irene Benson was awarded the cake for being the best lady waltzer at the ball. Word came Monday that all along the C. B. & Q. system the engineers were on a strike. The train from here went out in charge of Mr. Doylee, head of the bridge force, who was ordered to make the run, the wiper acting aa fireman. Thomas L. Hall has been appointed U. S. railway mail clerk, and will have his run on the B. & M between Palmer and Burwell, this state. His friends in this county wish him success in his new field. Philip Dieffenbach, an old soldier who served his country faithfully from '61 to '66 is applying for a pension. He lately obtained a certificate from his old physican, who recognized him readily after nearly 22 years. Attention is called to an important sale of real estate, advertised in today's Journal by Sheriff Bloedorn. Colum bus real estate is a good thing to have, because a considerable portion of it will soon be in demand for manufacturing sites. The strike of the engineers and fire men on the C, B. & Q. is to secure pay by the mile for runs made, and no dis tinction because of long or short service for the Company. Everything is quiet along the line no violence anywhere expected. We publish elsewhere the report of the First National bank, and have only space to say that it places the affairs of that institution in a very favorable light. Loans and discounts to the amount of 8172,000 and deposits of 8127,000 is an excellent showing. The facilities on tho Union Pacific for shipping live stock to Omaha are first-claea All along the route through Nebraska a night stock train is run, and goes in flying to Omaha, without any vexatious delays, a good thing for those who have fat stock to ship. A letter from Arnold Oehlrich to his brother Herman says that he will leave Europe some time in May to return to his home here.

Wm.Englebart,Henry Cattan,Henry Feye and Miss Mary Otto, accompanied Henry Wurdemann home from Ger many. Henry says that that country is a hundred years behind the United States. They still use the flail in thresh ing out grain. Leigh Advocate. Columbus is pretty well fixed now for fighting fire and will liave another hose cart shortly. The W. Y. Bissel hose team has been consolidated with the Fire Department recently, and the lower story of the bell tower converted into a hose room for the new cart. Mrs. C. G. Hickok, secretary of the 4th district W. C. T. U., attended the meeting of the central committee, at North Bend, Wednesday, 22d, at which session a programme was prepared for the Fourth Judicial District Convention, to be held at Central City, March 28,-U The Board of Trade are determined to do something for Columbus, and do it this season. What we want is more people to settle on lands hereabouts, more paying industries to give employ ment to men and boys tradesmen wo havo in abundance for twice the custom they now have. Mrs. J. S. McCormick of Omaha, died Monday of cancer of the stomach. She leaves a son, aged 19, and a daugh ter, aged 23.

Eley wants an active young man to canvass for the sale of the Ex celsior Safety Burner, to be used with the celebrated French electric fluid, giv ing a beautiful gas-light.

Henggler, a former resident of this county and son of Franz Henggler, renews his subscription to the Journal and adds the Neb. Family Journal to his list of newspapers. The young lady who arrived at Fred's house last Wed nesday, will be able to read our record of her arrival, in the course of fivo years, more or less. The rumor that has been circulated that Krause Brothers intended to leave Columbus, is false. They will be on hand with a full and new stock of all kinds of farm machinery, wind mills, pumps etc., having already received three car loads of Deering Harvesting machinery and several other heavy ship ments of implements. 45-2 A The chances are said to be excellent I for the location of a large cracker fac tory at Omaha which has been in opera tion at Davenport, Iowa. The proprie tor has visited Omaha to look up a site. The factory employs seventy-five men. Just such an institution would do well in Columbus, and would fraternize cleverly with our flour mills. Seven citizens of Schuyler have subscribed 8200 apiece and four 3100 apiece stock in a canning factory, their plan being to find "a suitable person to take the management of the business into his hands and take one-third of the stock in the corporation to be formed," so says the Quill. Our sister town doesn't 'propose to be left behind in the procession. Invitations have been receive" here to the wedding of Miss Mate Wadsworth and Mr. Ben. F. Griffin, Wednesday,Feb. 29. at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Wadsworth,"Carlsbad, Cal. We are not acquainted with the young man, but learn that he is in every way worthy of the young lady, who has a host of friends here, at her old home. May prosperity and happiness attend them tbronglrlife. Not very many were present at the cannery meeting Saturday evening. Mayor North presided, H. P. Coolidge being selected as secretary. It was found that 91 persons had subscribed 282 shares of stock, and it was thought by Mr. Brewer, who solicited the sub scriptions that the same could be doubled. A committee was appointed to seek further information and report at the next meeting, to be held at Mr. Cowdery's office next Saturday evening. We find the following mentions of Columbus people in the Hoof and Horn of South Omaha for the 23d: John Wiggins was looking over the market today. John is here looking for feed ers C. W. Zeigler ihad a choice load of heavy weights here which sold at the top $50. They averaged 367 pounds per head .-. . .James Frazier of Willard & Frazier, had a prime load of heavy weights that sold at the top price 85.50.

Miss Hess of Duncan made a short visit Friday with her friends Prof, and Mrs. Backus. L. M. Hoag was at Lincoln Friday. While there he visited some of the pub lic institutions. Carl Kramer was confined to his bed Monday morning with his old complaint, erysipelas of the face. Thos. Flynn and family remove to Norfolk Monday next to reside for a while. Very sorry to see them go. Miss Annie Lawson,after a few days visit to Grandma Griffin, returned Thursday to her homo at Waterloo. SamL McDonald, late of the Democrat of this city, has accepted a permanent position on the Platte Center News. R. Brandt is at Atchison, Kans., and writes to Mr. Brodfuehrer that he is in a fair way to secure his pension, having found an old friend whose testimony was necessary. D. Anderson of South Omaha was in the city Thursday, on business. Al though matters are quiet down there just now, arrangements are being made for public improvements when spring opens. Wm. Becker returned Tuesday, and J. P., Friday of last week, from their visit to Columbus, Ohio, to which place they were called by the serious illness of their mother, who is now very much better.

Mr. H. tells us that it is expected the Soldiers' Homo will be completed within two months. Dan Condon and Miss Kate, came in from the west yesterday, having left Sacramento Friday. On asking Dan how ho liked California, he turned his face upward toward the clear, blue Ne braska sky and said, "this is the finest day I have seen since I left Nebraska." John Tannahill and J. W. Early go today to Lincoln to attend the depart ment encampment, as representatives of Baker Post, G. A. R. Officers will be elected for the ensuing year, and the re union located. Grand Island is endeav oring to secure the re-union permanently at the Soldiers' Home. Saml. Wayling of Grays, England, a nephew of Mrs. John Plumb, arrived here Saturday. He has been in America since November last, and likes the coun try. He is acquainted with the Colum bus force of the Wild West show and brought some fine pictures with him, a gift from Fred. Matthews to his sister, Mrs. G. W. Clother. Hon. W. A. McAllister attended the second annual oratorical contest of the University Union at Lincoln Friday; the presidont called upon him, so says the Lincoln Journal, as one of the found ers of the society, to make sjme remarks. He related briefly the circumstances of the origin of the organization and con trasted its humble beginning and sur roundings with its present prosperous condition. Mr. McAllister was chairman or tiio committee or judges in tne con test The first prize, 820, was awarded to Miss Myra Clark, the second, 310, to Mr. C. M. French. The sermon of Rev. H. L. Powers last Sunday evening was specially in tended for young men, the text being from Zechariah 2-4, "Run speak to this young man." The subjects dwelt upon were the greatness of the power of young men, physically, mentally and in in fluence; the high honor shown to them, angels are earnestly concerned for them, Christ died to save them to the uttermost, ministers of the gospel labor in their behalf and parents follow them with their unending love; the liv ing message is to tell them of their once happy home, of the counsel and example of their parents, that life is very prec ious but uncertain, and that there is a better world beyond; the dignity of Christian character, which brings joy to the home cercle, gives dignity to society and honor to the church. A large con gregation was present. The thoughtful husbandman is busily engaged now, on occasions, in his work-shop, looking over plows, harrows, seeders, cultivators and harness, so that, when spring-time comes for sure and all, he will be abundantly ready for the work which will then fall to his lot all in a heap. "A stitch in time," applies to the farmer's work as well as it does to that of the good house-wife, as likewise the fact that "delays are dangerous" or at least, sometimes, expensive. Nebras ka, so it seems to the Journal observer today, can reasonably look forward to the coming season as one of abundant crops. Get the live-stock to eat and help the building up of manufactures for a better local market, for all your farm products. As to Those Journals. Mr. Editor: We notice in the last issue, in regard to the Monroe package of Journals said to have been lost, that we would hear something drop if it oc curred again, and for fear it would drop on innocent parties we suggest that the P. M. at that point be more careful to take them out, and not let them go on to other offices. Inspector. To Gardeners.

Thero is such a thing as "putting the best foot forward," which, of course, is all right. Reasonable people expect this, but to represent things away beyond what they are, is a wrong theory to act upon, and produces disgust. Take your town just as it is and make the most of it, by honest, hard licks in its favor. Build up all the interests you have here; encour age others to come that will find an un occupied field of work and will them selves prosper; talk, work for the town and the whole town. When prosperity is general, all have a share in it. The towns of Nebraska are all pretty much in tho same condition they need manufacturing industries to make bettor home markets. The local trade of the larger towns, owing to the increase of railroads, is being cut off by smaller towns springing up, and nothing but manufacturing and jobbing interests which will bring money from the outside, will answer as a substitute. The way to do anything is to, at least, begin consid ering what ought to be done, determine on what can be done, then go to work at the doing of it. All talk will not ac complish much. "Go ahead, boys," is never so strong a phrase as "Come along, boys." A little factory right on the ground is much better than a big castle in the air. We are pleased to hear that most of our country schools are taking quite an interest in preparing matter for the state exhibit at Fremont on the 29th of March. Work of this kind should be general in our schools as a regular ex ercise. We are of the opinion that the directors could not expend the small snm which the paper costs, for a better purpose. Written work in our schools will give to the exercises a conciseness and definiteness of exercises greatly needed. Indeed the solution of the great "language problem," whioh has troubled teachers so long, seems to lie in this direction. We hope soon to see these written exercises become a part of the daily program of every school in our countv. Notice! There will be a public sale at Krause Bros, old stand, Columbus, Neb., on Sat urday, March 3d, of farm machinery, consisting of stirring and breaking plows, harrows, cultivators, pulverizers (with and without Boeder attachment), "Strow bridge" and "Perfect" seed sowers, sulky plows, corn planters and check rowers, corn shelters, grinders and feed steamers and a lot of other goods too numerous to mention. Also two sewing machines and ono young work horse, several buggies and buck-boards. All the above named machines and vehicles are new, and ev erything will be sold to the highest bidder. Come everybody and buy at your own price. Last Thursday at the meeting of the City Council, R H. Henry, super visor for the township being present, the bid of Wm. A. Barnett of Dayton, Ohio, for our bridge bonds was accepted. On the city bonds, 330,000, the premium offered was 3270; on the township bonds, 310,000, a premium of 390, interest ac cruing from Deoember 1st, 1887, to be long to the purchase. All around, this is considered a very good sale and the city and township authorities are en titled to no little credit for it. The work of spanning the Loup with a perma nent bridge will go forward as soon as the season opens. Good enough. Platte Center, Neb., Feb. 22, '88.
