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

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.

Republican City Ticket.
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.

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.

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. Hum

O. A. Stearns has a letter from his
brother, O. 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. He
had both his feet taken off, bnt his
whole system was so chilled clear
through that nothing seemed to help
him, and after lingering several weeks
we laid him beside his brother in the
cemetery." ne then describes his own
suffering, his losses by amputation, and
says that expenses to them by reason of
the storm have already been 8600, "and
the end is not yet."
Pass Him Around.
We learned of man here last week
who, we think, was trying to play a con
fidence game upon one of our farmers in
regard to the purchr.se of a 35,000 lot of
fat cattle. He professed to be a member
of a commission firm at Chicago, but
had no credentials, letters of credit or
anything to Bhow his responsibility, but
he didn't get possession of the cattle, all
the same. Some time since a similar
confidence game was played at Stanton,
this state, by which a widow woman lost
a considerable Bum of money. Those
who have transactions with strangers
cannot be too careful in transfering to
them anything valuable (property or ob
ligations) without a full equivalent in
hand. Pass him around. People who
read the newspapers can keep posted in
the latest tricks of the confidence gen
