The ar ticle prepared by Pres't Gerrard is a most excellent one and in the right vein. The Geo. Benson, a "scab" engineer who killed a man in the Lincoln yards recently was not Geo.

TheRetsof Lump Rock Salt is perfectly pure; can be furnished by the cwt, or by the ton. John Wiggins. We learn that Jos. Heitt, living near Oconee, met with a painful acci dent last Saturday afternoon. While pounding a paper shell into a shotgun, the shell exploded, the powder being blown into his face, so injuring his eyes that it is feared he will lose the sight of the left one. The following feeders are using Reteof lump rock salt: C. H. Sheldon, H. M. Winslow, C. C. Gray, Patrick Murray, H. Loseke, P. Lawrence, J. P. Becker, Newman Bros., C. E. Morse, J. H. Reed, W. H. Randall, Gerrard & Zeig ler and othere. For sale by John Wig gins. 1 J. C. Fillman is doing considerable wholesaling in the line of millinery. Saturday last he sold a bill of $385, that goes to Douglas county, this state. When buyers prefer Columbus to Oma ha that fact alone tells well for the prices and quality of the Columbus goods. The Leading Millinery store is do ing a very large business, and has lately secured the services of Miss Alice Main, who is a very accomplished trimmer. Her work speaks for itself, and is ad mired by every lady who sees it, She is thoroughly well informed of the latest styles. J. C. Fillman. John Walgraf, who has been for the last seven years, a faithful, efficient as sistant at the yards of the Columbus Lumber Co., offers his services to those who may need them, his preference be ing the lumber business. He is honest, capable, faithful and will labor for the interests of his employer. Address him at Columbus. 1 Strowbridge seeders, Budloug disc harrows, Sioux City plows, Bradley's Maud S. cultivators, Bradley's square corner, gang sulky plows, Standard planters and checkrowers, Hoosier 11 foot force feed-seeders all-steel, lever harrows, Baine wagons and anything else in the implement line can be bought at Henry Lubker's, Becker's block, opposite the post office. 49-3 Nebraska towns all around are moving for manufactures, and it is not a "craze" either, but simply an indication of good health and a spirit of enterprise; it is a fresh endeavor to do something for bettering the condition of things, and making the great west what it ought to be, and the cities and towns that take Time by the forelock are those most apt to prosper. We notice that Norfolk is to have an artificial stone manufactory also a bnck and tile company. We have a factory (guess it is the only one in the United Statea)where they make leather shoes with wooden soles. They make them by the thousands and could sell them by the ten thousands, if they had the capital to invest. Buy of of them, send them customers that they may be able to make more shoes, to em ploy more workmen, to buy more raw material, to earn more money coming mainly from abroad into Columbus, to increase the business of our merchants, mechanics and so on. One of the very handsomest places of business in this city is the Leading Millinery establishment. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Fillman have certainly displayed faultless taste in fitting up their store on Nebraska Avenue everything iBnew, nice, elegant, and the goods they have for sale are as handsome as they well can be. The ladies call the store "charming," which it certainly is judg ing from the number who may be seen going in and out, and examining the newest and latest styles. There is a misapprehension which we find is very general, in regard to one feature of the revenue law. We often hear it said: "Mr. So-and-so gave in his property at so many dollars," naming always a much lower figure than the worth of the property, and of course enedavoring to cast a stigma upon the property holder. The fact is that it is the sworn duty of the owner to list the property, and that of the assessor "to de termine and fix the fair cash value of all items of personal property." We clip the following from the Herington, Kan., Headlight. Mr. Cooke was father of Mrs. S. C. Osborn, and for several years a resident of this county: "Rev. Cooke, father of Sidney G. and Dr. E. H. Cooke, died on Tuesday' last after a protracted illness. The deceased was 77 years of age and had been a de voted minister of the Gospel for fifty years. The funeral services were con ducted by Rev. E. B. Mathena at the residence of Sidney G. Cooke, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after which the re mains were followed to their last and final abode in the city cemetery, by the family and a large concourse of sympa thizing friends." D. L. Conard, jr., of Platte county, the three years old son of his father, by the same name, met with qnite an acci dent last Saturday, while his father was in town. The children concluded they would shell some corn, and while an older sister was turning the machine he concluded he would help the cobs come out and caught his hand in the machine. His mother tried in vain to release him,, and ran to the neighbors for help, which came promptly in the form of J. L. Tru man. Dr. Clark was sent for and when he had arrived found a badly mangled hand with the thumb crushed off. The little fellow is doing as well as could be expected under such pressing circum stances. Genoa Leader. Mere wind will not build a town even the bubble and the balloon, whose contents are wind, must needs have an enclosure. We have noticed that Co lumbus public enterprises do not oartake of the bubble species, but are honest, square business ventures on sound, economic principles, and so they must continue. Under this banner march to gether for the establishment of facto ries, wholesale houses, etc, and this community will see a very commendable state of affairs within the next few years. The world knows that we are not a New York or Chicago, or even an Omaha, but our capabilities are sufficient for what we are aiming now to secure, amply sufficient, we all know this, and let us not cease our endeavors until we accom plish our ends. We notice by the South Omaha papers that our old townsman and stock dealer, David Anderson, has been elect ed president of the board of trade of that rapidly growing and enterprising young city. With such material as Mr. Anderson in the fore ground we can safely predict a continuous and sub stantial boom for the inevitable porkop olis of the west. He is public spirited, enterprising and a very hard worker both for himself and the public and if the young Chicago with her "four largest packing houses in the world," and another beef slaughtering and can ning factory just starting by Phil. Armour to cost a half million, can boast of many citizens made of such stuff as Dave Anderson, then we say there is certainly a bright business future ahead I of her. PERSONAL. E. V.

The following teachers attended the meeting at Fremont: Prof, and Mrs. Backus, Misses McGath, Hoehen, Geer and Ransdall, Mrs. A. C. Ballou, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Brindley. James Scott returned Sunday from the east. His experience, while with Phil. Cain in California, did not impress him favorably with the state of flowers, cactuB, dust and chilly nights. Thos. Fitzpatrick and his two boys, accompanied by his cousin, Ed. Fitz patrick, left for Laramie, Saturday. Mr. F. was called here by the serious illness of his mother, who is now better. W. H. Hess of Duncan was in the city Monday morning. His sale realized him a handsome figure above what he had calculated upon, judging by the "times." He expects to start for California about the middle of the month. Michael Maher keeps a close watch of farm operations generally, and says we have had many a season later than this for putting in small grain, and that we have had none when the soil was in bet ter shape than it is now. M. J. Feenan of Omaha was in town Thursday. It must be a pretty sad day when our old friend hasn't a joke to tell of.

Pursuant to the call of the central committee published in last week's Journal, the republicans of the city- assembled at the City Hall last Saturday- evening, March 31st, and organized by calling John Wiggins to the chair and selecting W. A. McAllister as secretary. On motion, C. H. Sheldon, J. W. Early and H. J. Hudson were appointed a committee on platform. They subse quently presented the following plat form; which received a unanimous en dorsement: The republican electors of the city of Columbus. Nebraska, in convention as- semoied, hereby declare the following principles, upon which they ask the suffrages of the voters of our city at the coming spring election for municipal officers: 1st. That we are in favor of the strict enforcement of all city ordinances and the laws of the state, to the end that protection maybe given to citizens of Columbus against lawlessness and dis order, which it is their undoubted right to expect and demand. 2d. That we will hold to a strict ac countability all municipal officers of the city within their respective jurisdictions for the willful omission or neglect to see that all laws for the protection of the property of our citizens and the peace and order of the city are properly en forced, and that as citizens we pledge ourselves to aid and encourage such officers in the faithful performance of their duties. On motion of J. E. Tasker, a commit tee of nine, three from each ward, was appointed to present a ticket for the consideration of the convention. The chair appointed as committee for first ward, W. A. McAUiBter, J. D. Brewer, J. Warner; second ward, J. E Tasker, M. K. Turner, Henry Ragatz; third ward, H. M. Winslow, S. C.Gray, O.T.Roen. After a conference, the committee made their report, which was adopted, naming the following ticket: Mayor, H. M. Winslow: Clerk. C. E. Pollock: Treasurer, E. Pohl; Judge, J. C. Cowdery; City Engineer, L. J. Cramer; Councilman first ward, J. E. Hoffman; second, H. Hughes; third, C. H. Sheldon. Member of School Board, Carl Kramer, with au thority to the Central Committee to add another name provided the democrats should nominate two men for the two places to be filled. On motion, the chairman named the central committee as follows: first ward, W. A. McAllister; second. J. C. Cowdery; third, Carl Kramer. Exhibit at Fremont. The Colunbus teachers feel a little proud juBt now, because they have com pared school work with other schools in the state and find that the work of our Columbus schools stands second to none. True, Omaha was there with their se lected work (and she had a splendid showing) but the regular written work of the different grades in the Omaha schools were similar to ours and not a particle better. Lincoln fell behind, failed to even get a place in the race. About 200 square feet was assigned the city schools. First came the kinder garten work, with weaving of all designs and shades; perforating, drawing, em broidary, etc. On the boards under the kintergarten work was displayed the written work of this grade, consisting of slate writing, pencil writing, number and language work. Next, the work of the Becond primary kindergarten, writ ing, language, numbers and geography. The work of each grade was exhibited on the wall and boards, arranged as a table along side. By beginning at the primary grade you could follow the de velopment of the child as he passed on to the higher grades. This was one of the marked features of the ColumhtiB ex hibit. The other departments followed in regular order. All kinds of school work the regular of the schools was displayed and it was remarked by many present that the Columbus exhibit for style, arrangement and exactness sur passed any exhibit there. The Schuyler schools had some very fine drawings, but aside from this, their work was very poor. In fancy drawing Columbus lacked; she didn't have any moulding or paper folding, but every other depart ment was represented in full. The teachers from the city all returned to school with renewed vigor feeling that they are not behind other cities in edu cational matters. Sunday evening at 9:30, when Byron Compton was going home, he was at tracted by groans to a telephone pole near Julius Basmussen's residence. Here he found a man, evidently suffering a good deal, and whose underwear had, for some reason or other, become all of his wear. He was taken to the Central House, where L. G. Zinnecker talked with him, and learned something of what wits the matter. He is a German, has been in America about a year roam ing around, and lately had received a letter from home telling of the death of his mother. He had become discour aged, disheartened, and determined to commit suicide. With this intent he had gone to the Loup river, taken his outer garments, containing his money, cast them into the river, and was about to sacrifice himself as a victim of the turbulent waters, when a sudden pain in the stomach attracted him back to life, and his wanderings had brought him where he was found. He did not seem like a "tramp," was cleanly and neat in appearance. The man's name is Nicho las Zimmer and his age 24. He was taken to the Hospital and was better the next morning. Last Friday the jurors from the north part of the county accepted the invitation of Mr. Shaff, teacher in the Columbus public school, to visit the Bchool and see the written work of the scholars then on exhibition. We were greatly surprised at the extent and thoroughness of the work displayed, and to demonstrate the neatness of the work done by the litte hands, we will say that during one hour's examination of the work, we did not find a single written page that bore an ink blot. The kinder garten work of the school interested us greatly, as we saw in it a great advance over the old uninteresting and unprofit able way of endeavoring to drill in the minds of small children cold practical facts. By this new system, and also this plan of written work for exhibition, the scholars have an incentive for study and thorough work that is surprising in its result, and the pride exhibited by the small children in showing the visitors to the school the work of their hands, is in itself an evidence of the value of suoh exercises in the school room. It was the most complete general exhibit of school work we ever saw, and we were pleased to see that the parents of the children showed interest in the work by their presence to examine the exhibit.

E., in Dakota, descriptive of the great January blizzard, and of his experience in it. He says: "we were coming from school, lost our track and could only go with the wind; we spent the entire night on the prairie with the mercury 31a below zero before morning. We used the blankets for the girls and succeeded in keeping them from freezing a great deal, though they were nearly smothered with snow in spite of us. Guy started for help the nest morning with his feet frozen solid. He walked three fourths of a mile, his feet gave out and he crawled upon his hands and knees for a full half mile, but he saved us.
