It is "business" every time to tell people what you have to sell. Tell them through the Journal, the paper of Platte county having the largest circulation. Tho Democrat, in any contest with the Journal, after the first round re sorts to the boy's argument of calling names or the Chinaman's of making faces.

It is not known who the rascals were, but it is sup)osed to have been strangers. Our fourth-page story, begun this week, will bo completed next, not long to wait. If you don't wish to read it this week, keep your Jouknal till next week and read tho story at one sitting. - D. N. Miner, formerly of this city, lives within six miles of Burwell, Garfield county, on a pre-emption. E. B. Hall says ho has all tho work, as carpenter, that he can do, and that he is doing ex cellent work. Jim Frazier shipped Friday for J. H. Heed 35 head of very fine fat young steers to South Omaha. They attracted universal attention at the stock yards. Their weight hero was 41175 or an av erage of 117C pounds. - -" Tho Joubnal will publish the city ordinances tho coining year. The Dem ocrat will publish tho news." Democrat From present indications the ordinanc es will be very interesting news items, -even at live cents a line. District court convenes next Mon day, May 14th. There are a large num ber of cases on the docket. Tho case of Duiukee, in prison on the charge of murdering his wife, will probably at tract tho most attention. Tho Leigh Advocate says William Craig, of Cadiz, Ohio, has a gang of men Tencing section six just north of town and will stock it with horses. Mr. Craig is a wide awako young man and wo are glad to see him improving his land. F. II. Busche, the entorprising har ness dealer of 11th street, has purchased two fine lots of Win. Lamb, on the cor ner of North and 14th streets, and will, we understand, shortly build thereon a fine residence. This valuable real estate cost Mr. Ruscho $1,500. - Attention is called to tho statement for April, elsewhere published, of the First National Bank of this city. The amount of deposits is $133,596.28, - loans and discounts $177,758.52, altogether the best statement, excepting one, of any mouth since the organization of tho bank. Haiti, rain, rain, is tho order of the day and night the past week. It is evi dently good for small grain and grass, but will make corn-planting a little late, many having their plowing yet to do. Plenty of timo yet, however, and the moisture going down through the plowed land will form a good ''bank to draw from" later along. Let it rain. --"Gleanings in Bee Culture" for April has a handsome engraving representing the exhibit at the last Neb. State Fair, mado by Mrs. J. N. Heater of this city. Gleanings contains a very full descrip tion of the exhibit, with warm words commending Mrs. Heater and congratu lating Nebraska "on having so enter prising and go-ahead woman." "Every conservative citizen knows that it is" "tho proper thing to make a newspaper controversy" of any matter that threatens the welfare and the fu ture prosperity of the city, no matter what it may be. The half-baked Demo crat needs a thinking apparatus and a conscience of some sort, so that it may not be tho advocate of everything that is bad. - Louis Kramer has rented R. H. Henry's two buildings north of the post office on Olive street and will soon open out billiard and pool parlors in first class style in every particular. The rooms will bo carpeted and fitted up equal to any west of the Missouri rivor. A cigar stand in connection, but no drinks. Everyliody will wish Louis success in his venture. Mr. N. Fleischer, son-in-law of Win. Eimers of Humphrey, has rented a por tion of the Joubnal building and will, about the 15th of the month, open out a largo stock of clothing, boots and shoes and erhaps general merchandise. Mr. Fleischer thinks very favorably of Co lumbus, and intends to build a business house in the city so soon as he under stands the situation of affairs. The nameless animal to which the half-baked Democrat likens tho editor of this paper is somewhat noted for the severe activity of his heels, and the de termination with which he sticks to what ho thinks is right. Doubtless the dilap idated condition of the Democrat's china-ware and preserve cupboard since tho beginning of tho nominating cam paign last fall has had something to do with suggesting the comparison. Dr. Mills of Osceola, well known to our older readers of this vicinity, met with an accident Friday week. The double-tree bolt of his wagon came out, letting the tongue down. This was the last the Dr. knew of the matter. He was picked up unconscious having been thrown violently from his wagon. His coller bone was broken and left lung and side badly bruised. The Record says he is now getting along quite well. The Stockman says that A. Haight of this vicinity was at South Omaha Monday with four loads of cattle; also J. W. Lynch, C. C. Carrig and F. H. Gleason of Platte Center with cattle; John Wiggins of this city and J. M. Weatherbee and Carrig A- Lynch of Platte Center with hogs. Receipts of cattle Monday were liberal for the first day of the week. Number sold Monday 1,095 at prices ranging from $2.25 for a 950 pound cow to $4.50 for 19 steers averaging 1381 pounds. The Boston hog buyers paid as high as $5.50 for their kind of hogs. Prices ranged from $L8Q to $5.50. PERSONAL. Dr. Hartyn is improving in health nicely. Mrs. George Lehman is visiting friends in Des Moines, la. H. C. Carrig of Platte Center was in the city yesterday. Mrs. F. Scheck (that was), arrived in Columbus yesterday. Ed. Close of the Platte Center Argus force was in town Saturday and gave us a call. Peter Streeter was in the city Wed nesday and attended the Uncle Tom entertainment. Mrs. Ed. Goetzinger of Helena, Mon tana, is visiting her mother, Mrs. L. H. Tripp of this city. Mrs. Ed. Polley of the vicinity of To peka, Kansas, sister-in-law of Mrs. A. Anderson, arrived Monday and is visit ing friends. Misses Kittie and Alice Cowdery came up from Lincoln last week. Kittie has returned home, but Miss Alice will pro long her visit among her old friends. Mrs. T. C. Ryan of Watertown, Wise, was a Columbus visitor last week. She w;is here to look after her property in terests. Her daughter accompanied her. W. M. Robinson, Esq., of Madison passed through the city Friday evening on his way home from Fremont, where he had been to confer with Mr. Dorpey. Miss Minnie Freeman left this city Sunday for Hastings where she joins her parents to go to southern California, where they will make their future home. II. M. Hopewell, the accomplished ed itor of the Burtonian, Tekamah, was in tho city Sunday. He and his sister,Mrs. Rev. Powers, went to Central City to visit their parents. Carl Kramer and Prof. W. B. Backus went to Central City Saturday, on busi ness. In a drive to the country Carl got wet and cold which had a bad effect on him, probably not having fully re covered from his last attack of erysipelas. He .ras a very sick man Sunday night, but was reported much better Monday evening. Miss Callie Welch, daughter of Jonas Welch of Columbus, was in the city Monday. Miss Welch is teaching the spring term of school in Dist. No. 8, her old home at Shell Creek, and where she was a pupil of the writer in 1883. Miss W. was a studious and obliging pupil, and we predict that she will meet with success as a teacher. Schuyler Sun. Mrs. E. L. Saxon of Tennessee de livered addresses Sunday afternoon and evening at the Congregational church which wero listened to by interested au diences. Her subject was "Social Purity." Certainly her efforts to re claim the fallen, to instruct mothers in their duties, and to bring communities to an appreciation of the enormous and far-reaching evils of social impurity, ought to be and will be rewarded. There is no evil that so undermines and de stroys the very foundation of civil so ciety and that so corrupts the life-blood of the race of mankind as this does, en tailing uion innoceat children and grandchildren ineradicable diseases of blood and bone, the effect of licentious ness and debauchery in the father or grandfather. In the face of the ac knowledged evils of social impurity the mock modesty that taboos discussion of the subject by the press, the pulpit and the platform, is far more reprehensible than would be the spread of small-pox by infected clothing distributed among destitute boys and girls, under the guise of charity and good-will. If there is any knowledge, and information, any advice that will reach fathers, moth ers, children, and so beuefit them that their lives will become lives of purity and peace, in the name of our common humanity let such knowledge be spread abroad, such information given and such advise be brought home to the hearts of alL Platte County School". Tho entire number of children of school age in Platte county, as shown by the April census is 5,157. This is an in crease of 152 over the census of one year ago. 1080, or nearly one-fifth of the whole, belong to the school district of Columbus. Gains are made in Platte Center, Humphrey, and some of the country district. A few districts show losses. The returns have been forward ed to Lincoln. ,, Arbor Day was celebrated in Platte Center, in an efficient and practical manner. Books were laid aside, and scores of trees planted. In several of the country districts the day was ob served but the matter did not receive the attention it deserves. However, a beginning has been made, and Arbor Day will grow in favor year by year. This holiday has nothing to do with bloody battles, "politics or religion," but cultivates home affections and the peace ful instincts of our race and Bhould find a lodgment in the people's hearts. rnlform Hank K. of K. On Tuesday afternoon of last week Captain John Hay ward of Omaha Di vision No. 12, with staff officers, Cols. G. H. Cruger, J. H. Brown, J. H. Gibson and J. J. Monell aide to Major Gen. Car nahan, arrived in the city and instituted the Columbus Division with the follow ing officers: Capt, W. B. Dale; 1st Lieut, H. Ragatz; 2d Lieut, W. A. McAllister A Btreet parade was made later in the evening and a dress parade and exhibi tion drill in the Opera House at night The banquet and ball of the evening were largejv attended and the affair was the most enjoyable social event of the season. The Division here starts out with flying colors and their brethren from Omaha, David City and other places who were present were highly pleased with their "royal entertainment" New Bank BnildiBg. The plans have been nearly completed for a new large brick building by the Commercial Bank. It will be located on the corner of North and Thirteenth streets diagonally opposite from the Congregational church. Twenty-two by sixty-six feet, two stories and basement will be the size of the structure, which will be of brick with terra-cotta trimmings. It will be put up in the most approved style, and will be absolutely fire-proof, the first building of the kind in the citv. The contract has not yet been let but, we are assured, will be let shortly, and the handsome building completed in ninety days thereafter. The enterprising stockholders of the Commercial are to be commended for this move, which will be alike beneficial to them and to the city. The "ColumbH Journal." The Joubnal, for three months begin ning with May 9th, has been ordered sent to one thousand persons whose names have been furnished us by busi ness men of the city. This is done in the general interests of the city. Those receiving a copy of the Joubnal (not having themselves ordered it), will know by this that no pay will be asked of them for the samo. If you think of coming west write to any of your friends here or hereabouts, to tho minister of any of our churches, to the board of trade or any banker, or send for any special information wanted to the editor of tho Joubnal. Nebraska needs more men to till land, to establish factories and workshops, to enage in wholesale enterprises of all kinds. Write, but better, come and see for yourselves. In the meantime, tako your Joubnal from the post-office, read its columns, and ponder any suggestion of business that may arrest your atten tion. M. K. Turner, Editor "Journal," Columbus, Nebraska. Land, Loan and Building Association. The man who devised this institution is entitled to the gratitude of his fellow men. In many of the cities, towns and villages of the United States they have proved their great worth by results flow ing from their organization. The Columbus Association held their annual meeting Tuesday evening of last week, re-electing J. N. Taylor, president, J. S. Murdock, vice president, G. G. Becher, treasurer, IL Hockenberger, secretary. The board of directors chosen were C. H. Davis, V. H. Weaver, G. W. Bouton, R, Uhlig and E. D. Fitzpatrick. The statement prepared by the secre tary and approved by the auditing com mittee, L. W. Weaver, Leander Gerrard and Daniel Schrain, shows total amount received during two years $12,543.70, gross profits $2,679.85; amount loaned $13,500, average premiums paid second year, 8.45 per cent. There is no question concerning the benefits derived from building and loan associations, and Columbus can very well have several such. 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 $80.00 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 sale, with the usual stop over privileges in both directions within 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 Boon, 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 fur ther information in regard to these ex cursions.

The Schuyler Quill, speaking of the marriage of Gustave Ernst of this city and Miss Lizzie Smith, which took place on the 26th ult, at the residence of the bride's parents in Richland precinct, Colfax county, says, further: "One of the finest suppers spread before human beings was then partaken of by the com pany,consisting of neighbors and friends. The evening was spent in dancing and a happy time was made of it all through. To thiB young couple we wish all the blessings and happiness of married life." Gardei Seeds. If you want to get Tannahill's garden seeds that will grow you can get them at Henry Bagatz'a atore, 48-8t City Coancil. The mayor a in communication to the council, explained his vote on the Speice resolution decided by the mayor's vote at a previous meeting. He said he had repeatedly called the attention of police men to the fact that he wanted them to see that the ordinances of the city were not violated without parties being pun ished and for the past six months in par ticular he had called their attention with reference specially to houses of prostitution, directing them if proof could be established of the existence of such houses he wanted them to file complaint and arrest the parties. No arrests had been made since somo time in October, 87; the majority report set forth the fact that they find no proof that houses or a house of prostitution existed in the town and inasmuch as the polico have reported tho same thing to him repeatedly, ho certainly agreed with the majority report. The mayor saya further: "tho resolu tion if adopted would be a direct thrust at the mayor and police force of tho city and if thero was any good reason for tho passage of the resolution I am unfit to to hold the office of mayor and should be removed. I have every confidence in the police officers of the city and have reappointed the same men on the force for the coming year; their appointment has been confirmed by a unanimous vote of the council. The addoption of the res olution would imply that the jwlice force are negligent and should bo re moved." With remarks commendatory of the police he closed his communica tion. A petition from G. W. Elston and others was referred to committee on streets and grades. A resolution by Speice wtis adopted requiring the mayor to cause the chief of police at the next meeting of the council to report in writing whether there are within the limits of the city any brothels or houses of ill-fame, and also whether there are within the city limits any houses occupied by women who cohabit with men in a state of for nication or adultery. Also that if there be any such house or houses, to give the location thereof by street, block and lot, together with the name or names, bo far as the same can be ascertained, of tho persons bo ocenpying such houso or houses. Fitzpatrick offered an important res olution in regard to giving the alarm of fire, dividing the city into neighbor hoods, as indicated below and called districts, each provided with a tele phone to communicate with tho central office; tho alarm of fire to bo given there on the fire-bell, then tho number of the district as one, two etc. to be given at intervals, a tolling of tho bell signifying that there was a false alarm or that the fire is out: 1, residence of C.

Shell Creek Items. ,The small grain is coming up nicely, also the grass which seems to come earlier than usual. Farmers may thank God and take courage, but not the farmers alone, for although Bometimes by good-for-nothing dandies callod"mud sills" at the bottom of all earthly pros perity, and it all has to be plowed out of the ground. Down with your prond and idle dandies, and give your cheers for John Plowman. Farmers are busy preparing for corn planting. Some self-planted corn in the writer's yard is now, May 2d, already three inches high. Get tho best seed corn, prepare the land well, feed the gophers and ground squirrels enough for their life time, and then plant and tend well, expect a good crop and be happy. Mr. Lorenz Enzininger's little son got his little leg in a corn sheller and broke it. But under the skillful treat ment of Dr. O'Key of Platte Center ho is getting all right rapidly. Mr.Michael Sheridan's little child died 10 days old and was buried in tho Cath olic cemetery near Mr. John Dugan's. Mr. C. H." Walker of Denver, son-in-law of Rev. A. Henrich, was thrown from his horse and considerably injured, but he is improving. Mr. H. S. Elliott went to Omaha with a fine drove of fat steers; among them was the bull " Robin Adair," which Mr. E. bought of A. Henrich and which turned the scales at nearly 2,300 pounds. Bloomingdale stock farm is the place for heavy cattle. Mr. D. Thomas has also transported a lot of fine steers to Omaha but did not strike a very good market. Three cheers for the people of Bur rows township! They have treated their neighbors on the south side of Shell Creek now like first cousins and fixed the little bridge near Mr. Moriarti's with good approaches. Honor to whom honor is due! Let him come your excellent road supervisor John Elliott Let him come with his grader. So says the highest tax-payer of Joliet township. We have some very poor rords, none as bad though as for instance that near Mr. M Bloedorn's belonging to our cousins in a neighboring town. Let him come and fix the roads for good once and travelers will keep off your fields and meadows and will not swear at you but bless you and hurrah for you.
