Wurdeman was elected supervisor for Sherman township at the annual meeting. Henry is one of the chief citizens of that township and ought to make a valuable working mem ber of the board. - -A fire broke out Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the shed at Becker's ele vator; fortunately it was put out imme diately, as the wind, which was blowing hard at the time, would have spread the Haines very rapidly. -John McMahon was in town yester day, and says that the accounts of the affair at David City last week, in which he was one of the actors, are not what they ought to be. At the proper time his side will be made known. In our eighteen years residence in Nebraska we have realized, by having good health most of the time, that the climate is healthful. It also seems con ducive to longevity, Mrs. Douglas died at Omaha the other day, aged 102. A farmer told us the other day that he had oats sown two weeks and not sprouted. It is best to wait until the ground is warm enough to sprout the grain, and all conditions so favorable that it will keep right along growing. Fitzpatrick's Music Hall is a com modious room, and it is thought there will be a number of citizens on hand this evening to hear any discussion there may be, or note the action of the city council, on Councilman Speice's resolu tion. - Harry Arnold has completed his work as a taxidermist upon the double headed calf sent down by Win. Tolman of St. Edward. The animal was per fectly formed except the heads, which were joined together at the back and were split apart in birth. In another place we print a letter important to farmers just now. The pest that did damage last year in many parts of the country where it was unusu ally dry, appear to be on hands in large numbers, and any way of ridding the country of them is worth a trial. The Knights of Pythias never do anything by halves. Whatever they un dertake to do, they do well. The deco rations at the Opera House next Tuesday evening will be a pleasing feature of the grand occasion and in harmony with the charming and brilliant toilets of their select guests. Central City's committees who came down to investigate our waterworks and acquire information with a view to se cure waterworks for Central City, pass a high compliment upon Mayor North and Water Commissioner Baker of this city, to whom they were mainly indebted for their information. Platte Center has been very fortu nate in securing such an industry as ex Sheriff D. C. Kavanaugh has started there. It is just such that make a good town. With his large force of men handling improved machinery, we learn that Mr. Kavanaugh expects soon to turn out 20,000 brick a day. Nebraska has heen pestered and swindled without measure for years by a horde of tree peddlers from abroad. A farmer showed us the other day an or chard of apple trees that he had worked with faithfully for eight years past and when at last they bore fruit it was found to be not at all what was represented. The tactics of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, are far superior to those of the United States army. The exhibition drill to be given by Omaha Division No. 12, at- the Opera House next Tuesday evening will alone insure the limited number of tickets offered to the select dance given by Columbus Division. We publish elsewhere the occupation-tax ordinance, which became a law since the last issue of the Journal. It is a sweeper and will give the city quite a revenue. There was talk Monday that saloon keepers would contest its validity in the courts, but the probability is that they will not seek a contest with the city. In last week's Journal was a para graph announcing that the cards were out for the marriage of Wm. Sanders and Miss Amanda Bice. Our reporter had very good reason for believing that his information was correct, but such is not the case this time. He reserves the right to punish his informant in his own way. side. Some of the townships have pro- J cjt yesterday. viueu inemseives wiiu excellent graders and others would do well to folk their example not of those, hower, who paid exorbitant prices. The sale of tickets to the select as sembly at the Opera House next Tues day evening will be limited to the con veniently seating capacity of the box, parquette and gallery circles, leaving the hall free from the usual nuisance of a jostling crowd. Intending purchasers of tickets will be wise to make no delay in securing their passports to the grand May party. The Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias is the military wing, the loyal legion of this great and growing order. Columbus Division will be instituted in this city next Tuesday by Col. John J. Monell of Omaha, aide to Maj.-Gen'l James R. Carnahan, assisted by one hun dred Sir Knights of that citv. This Di vision is a credit to the order and an honor to the city. Walter Mead received a telegram Saturday last from Cedar Rapids, Boone Co., announcing the death of his mother, Mary E. Mead. She had been afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism, suffer ing severely about two weeks prior to her death. She had been a resident of Nebraska twelve years and leaves a hus band and seven children to mourn her departure to the Better World. Uncleanly teeth are not only a most disgusting sight, but often cause foul breath and ill health. The K. of P. "f?n11 will lie on the evening of the 1st day of May, 1888.

Send in names and addresses, without delay to Commercial Bank, Co lumbus, Neb. 51-3t Will the city council please order the stree sprinklers to commence busi ness? On Tuesday next one hundred of the leading citizens of Omaha, with their wives, daughters and lady friends will visit this city. Large delegations are also expected from Fremont, David City, Norfolk, Madison, Albion and other neighboring towns. Let the city put on its holiday attire and unite with the Knights of Pythias in showing Columbus at dress parade. The vote of the Council tonight will probably le unanimous for the suspen sion of the houses of prostitution. If any oppose Speice's resolution it wi'l be interterostiug to know on what g- uuds they favor the continuance of an evil that has no legal right of existence. If a contest is made tonight, there may be some developments made that will open the eyes of the general public. It is our guess that the action of the council will be the virtnal adoption of Mr. Speice's resolution. W. H. Gale of Norfolk has consider able of a reputation as a teacher of vocal music. He is engaged one day in the week, a half hour in each depart ment of the public schools at Norfolk, to teach music, and his success has been something of n marvel. Very small children with no great effort, have learn ed to read the notes of easy tunes. There are very many reasons why music should be one of the features of an edu cation. That it may be made a source of the purest enjoyment to the youth is not the least of its benefits, and he who enters the inner temple of song is saved from many nameless ills. Some time since C. W. Jackson of this city discovered a comet early in the morning, with the naked eye. He made known his discovery, but, as yet there baring been no mention of it by astrono mers, the evidence of his eyesight was doubted by his companions. To settle the dispute, he wrote to the Warner Obesrvatory at Rochester, N. Y., and re ceived the following reply: "The comet you saw was discovered Feb. 18 at the Cape of Good Hope in 57" south declen sion. My first view of it was March 17. It is not going to be any brighter. The discoverer, Mr. Sayenthal, will receive the Warner prize of $100. Yours truly, Lewis Swift, Director. 4-18'88. R. Kummer was in town Thursday. He called the attention of a number of our business men that there was a con siderable volume of trade going to other points that would be directed this way if there was a bridge over the Platte. There is a considerable scope of country south, well settled with prosperous farmers who prefer to trade at Columbus, because here they can find all lines of goods they need, a variety to select from and, withal, prices lower than at other points. Platte county constructed the first bridge over the Platte, and Colum bus is determined, in as short time as possible, to again span the stream with a bridge that will be a good one. Her business men have been aware, all along, of the advantages derived from good bridges and good roads. Daily excursions have been arranged for over the Union Pacific Railway, to San Francisco, San Diego, Colton, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Jose, California, also to Portland, Oregon, at 880.00 for the round trip. Tickets are good 60 days for the going passage and good for the return trip for six months from date of Bale, with the usual Ftop over privileges in both directions Ithin these limits. These tickets are also good by way of Denver and Salt Lake City in each direction. The Agent, Mr. J. R Meagher, tells us quite a number are thinking of making the trip soon, and it would be well for those intending to go in select parties to see him and arrange for their accommodations. Mr. J. B. Frawley, Traveling Agent, Union Pacific, at Omaha, is arranging for these select parties, and will be glad to give any far ther information in regard to these ex cursions.

Mrs. Joseph Tiffany on Thursday ac companied Mrs. M. J. Leonard to her home at South Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. A. Henry of Omaha, after a short visit with their son R. H. of this city, returned home Monday. A. M. Jennings, of St. Edward, came down Thursday to see and have a good time with his Columbus friends. H. P. Hallock of Omaha, Marder, Luse & Co.'s gentlemanly rustler on the road, was in the city yesterday morning. Rev. J. L. St. Clair of Papillion was in the city Monday, having taken a run up from Schuyler. He reported his family all in good health. Rev. R. L Stevens, late rector of Grace Episcopal church this city, now of Lin coln, was a Columbus visitor during a portion of last week. Sarah C. Ryan, niece of Rev. Father Ryan, and who has been staying with him the past five months, returned last week to her home in Chicago. R. H. Lawrence of Omaha was iu the city Thursday on his way home from Norfolk, where he had been laying out an addition to that thriving city. Mr. McDill, formerly a partner of Mr. Sheldon at his farm northeast of this city, has, we learn, returned from the east to take up his residence in Ne braska. Wm. Seldon, who has for some time been an employe of the Democrat of this city, went to Fremont Monday, whero he has a position in the Tribune job de partment.

Dr. Martyn was pronounced a very sick man last week, but after a comfort able rest Thursday night, his case took a turn for the better and he is reported now to be rapidly improving. Louis Kramer was at Lincoln Monday and witnessed the ceremonies at the state university grounds of the laying of the corner stone of the Grant Memorial hall. The address of welcome was by Hon. C. H. Gere, president of the lxiard of regents. E. Ccrben, who has genius for litera ture as well as for bridges, enlivened the Journal sanctum Thursday. We are indebted to him for several good things that we know will be enjoyed by our fun-loving readers, when we can get space to publish them. G. W. Davey and family left Wednes day for Dodge county. After sojourning at his fatherinlaw's a few weeks Mr. Davey expects to go to Colorado to bach it on a piece of government land for the summer. G. W. is an excellent citizen anywhere you put him and what is Ne braska's loss will be Colorado's gain. Henry Robert of Sherman township gave us a very pleasant call Monday. He came to Nebraska seventeen years ago without a red cent, and today has 360 acres of land besides good buildings, stock, etc. He has a very high opinion of Nebraska soil and climate and be lieves there is no better country, take it all around. If a man wants to work he need have no fear of getting along in Nebraska. Henry has some good notions about farming and stock raising, and applies them with success.

Davis was read as follows, and, on motion re ferred to committee on printing, consist ing of Segelke, Gluck and Fitzpatrick: "Coltimbcs, April 18, '88. To the Mayor and City Council, Colum bus, A., Gentlemen: Whereas, a motion was made April 7, 1888, instructing the city clerk to receive bids from the Columbus Journal and Columbus Democrat for doing the city printing for the ensuing year, and Whereas, I was not officially notified of such instructions until 5 or 10 min utes before such bids were to be receiv ed, thuB depriving me of a chance for reflecting upon said matter, and Whereas, said instructions and noti fication did not call for sealed bids. I now ask leave to amend my said bid filed so hastily, and am prepared to now sub mit such bid, prepared after mature de liberation, such as the nature thereof calls for. D. F. Davis, Pub. Democrat." A motion of Segelke to rescind the action of the Council in asking for bids for the city printing was, after some discussion, lost. Glnck offiered a resolution that city clerk be instructed to advertise for bids for doing the city sprinkling of streets the coming season. Carried. By Gluck: "Resolved that the city tis 6essor be directed to place upon the city tax list and assess for 1888, the following described property: NE of the SE sec. 24, town 17, R. 1 west, and clerk be in structed to deliver cony to assessor." Carried. At a prior meeting bids had been re ceived from the Columbus Democrat and Columbus Journal on printing or dinances, etc., the coming year, and also a pamphlet containing ordinances in force. The committee on printing sub mitted the following report which was unanimously adopted: "The committee on printing hereby recommend the entering into a contract with the Journal for the printing of all the ordinances and other legal notices, also the printing of the revised ordi nances in pamphlet form, the Journal being the lowest bidder. C. Segelke, E. D. Fitzpatrick, I. Gluck." The committee on police, consisting of Sheldon, Schreiber and Segelke, and to whom was referred Councilman Speice's resolution, asked further time to report, which was granted. The resolution is: "Resolved, that it is the sense of this council that all houses of prostitution within the city limits should be sup pressed." This resolution will doubtless come up for consideration this (Wednesday) even ing.

The following appeared as a special telegram to the Omaha Bee, from David City, April 18th: "John Mehan, claiming to be a Pink erton detective, was brought before Judge Clingman tonight on the charge of shooting Charles Wilson, a citizen of this place. Mehan was guarding a B. & M. engine while the crew went to supper. Wilson was looking about the engine. Some words passed and the men clinched. Mehan pushed Wilson down and then drawing his revolver shot him through the hand, inflicting a serious wound. Mehan was released until Monday on 81,000 recognizance. Public sympathy is with Wilson." The man referred to as "Mehan" is John McMahon, a well-known citizen of this place. The account given to the Lincoln Jour nal by its David City correspondent is, no doubt, Mr. McMahon's version of the affair. "While the Burlington & Missouri freight south was sidetracked at this place this evening Charles Wilson, a strike sympathizer, boarded the engine and commenced fooling with the air brakes. Detective McMahon of Colum bus, who was standing on the platform, approached him and requested him to come off the engine, which Wilson re lused to do, and at the same time began abusing him. McMahon boarded the engine and a scuffle ensued in which Wilson was thrown to the ground. Wil son got up and rushed toward McMahon with his hand in the act of drawing a revolver, whereupon McMahon drew his weapon and fired, striking Wilson in the wrist. McMahon is under arrest and the greatest excitement prevails." Gardei Seeds. If you want to get Tannahill's garden seeds that will grow you can get them at Henry Ragatz's store. 484ft There is an unusual amount of blue graBs making its appearance this spring. Nothing will make a better sod or pas ture, for early and late, and abundance of it ought to be scratched in on the prairies. It spreads more from the root than from the seed, and consequently if it is carefully sown in on spots here and there, it will soon cover tho whole field. The seed being very small must not be sown deep and the soil should be packed or pressed against the seed. This is very effectually done where horses, cat tle and sheep are pastured.

Councilman Speice, in support of his resolution that it is the sense of the council that houses of prostitution with in the city limits be suppressed, made a very pointed and earnest speech at the meeting last Wednesday evening. He gave, in detail, what ho had learned since his election as a member of the council from tho First ward; among the facts ascertained were that the estab lishment known as the White House has eight inmates, and that since last Octo ber there are no lines recorded at tho police court. Mr. Speice asked the question if it was possible that the state of affaire which undoubtedly exists, was unknown to our police force and to our mayor, and yet known to citizens who may inquire. He oxpressed himself in very clear language as utterly opposed to tho ex istence of these institutions in our midst and gave notice that he would be heard from again. Sjirins Suit.
