Senator Charles F. Mandereon is an nounced by the state central commit tee to speak'afPlatte Center, Thursday, Nov. 1st. He should have an immense audience. There was quite a large delegation from Humphrey at the Platte Center republican meeting last week, also a large delegation from Oconee on horse back with torches and Hags. A little bad weather, rain or even snow, accompanied by the "gentle zephyrs" of Nebraska, when we are act ing under duty, should not keep us away from the place of voting. Huber had an auction sale near St. Edward "Wednesday last at which horses brought from S90 to $175, cows an aver ago of $21. steers, two years old, $20, second-hand wjigons $60 to $70. District court for Colfax county was in session last week, and among matters decided was the State vs. Mrs. Oelbrich of Richland for selling liquor unlawfully. She plead guilty and was fined $100 and costs. I. W. Lansing and C. O. Whedon of Lincoln spoke to a very attentive audi enco last Wednesday 'evening at the Opera House, making some very strong points for protection and the republican candidates. We notice that Dan Condon, former ly of this city, is one of the republican candidates for the legislature from Douglas county; D. Anderson was chos en a member of the county central committee. H. L. Powers will preach next Sun day, Oct. 28th, 11 a. m. on the "Influence of carefully' developed gifts," and at 7:30 p. in. in behalf of Occidental Lodge No. 21, Jvnighte of Pythias, topic: "Tho great armor of God." -On Saturday last Sheriff Bloedorn sold what remained of the Graff lands to G.

Cain of Genoa was in the city Monday on his way to Kearney, in consequence of a telegram received that in the hotel fire at that place, his father, Thomas Cain, had smothered to death. Mr. Cain was sixty-three years old, and had been in America seven years. - Columbus Division No. 26 U.RE. of P. at their regular meeting Friday evening, Oct. 19, elected the following officers for the unexpired term: John Tannahill, Capt,; W. A. McAllister, 1st Lieut.; C. C. Beringer, 2d Lieut.; W. A. Routson, Guard; Adolph Sauer, Sentinel. - On Thursday evening, Oct. 25th, thero will -lie a grand dance at Fitz- patrick's hall. Good music, good caller and good order. Two beautiful prizes worth $10 each will be given to the two best lady waltzers. Admission 75 cents. No one should miss this dance for it is bound to be a success. Adrian College, Michigan, has offer en a free scholarship, and a finely en graved diploma of honor on parchment to the pupil of the senior class in our .High School who stands highest in their studies for the school year. The diploma of honor will give a reduction of $15 on incidental expences at the college. Hon. Geo. Bigelow, prohibition can didate for governor, who was billed here for October 27th will address a prohibi tion rally at Creston instead on the same date. Hon. A. M Walling is also ex pected to be present. Citizens of all shades of political opinion will turn out to hear these prominent champions of the third party. 1 Some dude of a hunter it must have been who Friday shot at a duck and struck Barnum's corral fence, the shot penetrating into the faces of a team of horses tied thereto. If tho farm hand had happened to be at that particular spot he might have lost an eye or two. It is strange that 'men do not learn something once in a while. At the union caucus held in the town hall in Columbus twp. the follow ing names were nominated for town offi cers: supervisor, A. W. Clark; assessor, H. C'Bean; treasurer, J. Lewis; town clerk, J. H. Drinnin; justice of the peace, Wm. Newman; road overseer district 1, Geo. Wescott; district 11, W. A. Way; district 25, W. H. Randall; constables, Harry B. Reed, . The Jourxal sanctum was invaded Saturday for a few minutes by Congress man Dorsey, accompanied by J. M. Macfarland, Carl ..Kramer and W. B. Backus. One and all were in good spirits over the brilliant prospects of the national republican ticket. Mr. Dorsey, in answer to a question, remarked that the republicans had as good a prospect of carrying Virginia as' the democrats have of succeeding in New Jersey. We find the following paragraph in the Quill's account of the democratic senatorial convention . at Schuyler the other day: "James E. North placed Michael Maher, of Lost Creek, Platte county, in nomination and Peter Noonan nominated Thomas Ottis, of Humphrey. On the informal ballot Maher received sixteen votes to two for Ottis. Noonan then 'moved to make the ballot formal and the nomination of Maher unanimous." PERSONAL. ' C. H. Sheldon and family are visiting friends in Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Tasker went to Omaha yesterday. B. H. Lawrence came up Saturday from South Omaha. James O'Donnell visited St. Edward a couple of days last week. Henry C. and David Carrig were down from Platte Center Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Murphy c. Platte Center were in the city Saturday. Thomas Fitzpatrick of Laramie came down Thursday to attend his mother's funeral, on that day. . Matt Reid was in Kansas recently after apples. He observed while there that prohibition don't prohibit. Gen. A. J. Sampson of Denver.arrived in the city Monday and is visiting with the family of A. C. Turner. Milt Speice-and family came down from Sidney, last week on a short visit to relatives and friends here. George Cremer, "who made many friends during his sojourn here, started Monday for Washington Ty. J. M Hill, state agent for the Massa chusetts Mutual Life Insurance com pany, was iu town Friday evening. .. Miss Louise Bauer returned home from Columbus, Ohio, Saturday last ac companied by her neice Anna Becker, and by Miss Amelia Schroll. Mrs. J. P. Landeman and daughter Miss Li Hie, passed through this city Saturday on their way home to St. Ed ward from a visit to relatives in South Bend, Indiana. Mrs. Judge M. R. Hopewell of Teka mah is visiting Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Powers, remaining till next week, she and Mrs. Powers visiting Mrs. Fifield at David City yesterday. Rev. A. Henrieh called at these head quarters Tuesday last ou his way home from Omaha, where he had been to preach Sunday. The congregation to which he preached contributed $1,000 for church purposes. Mr. W. H. Carnahan goes to Hastings to take charge of the business of the McKinley-Lanning Loan and Trust Co. of that place. The Jourxal expresses the regret of the many friends of Mr. Carnahan and family at their departure from this city. G. W. Kibler of Leigh arrived in the city yesterday on business. He return ed from a short trip to Ohio, about two weeks ago his first visit to his old home in sixteen -years. He says the people of Findlay are not at all fright ened over the predictions of tho blow-up of the place. D. A. Lord of Colorado was in the city Friday and Saturday. His brothers, Dr. M. L. and J. H. of Rochester, N. Y.,were with him, and had been on a month's trip to Colorado. They were in this part of Nebraska eight years ago, and think the country has greatly improved sinco then, especially the farming portion. Some of the Joubxai readers are afflicted with hay fever. We find the following remedy going the rounds. We give it, that you may investigate its merits: Mix sulphate of quinine and water in proportions of one grain of the powder to one ounce of the fluid, and snuff this mixture up the nostrils freely, from the hollow of the hand, several times a day, or as often as convenient. Don't despise this remedy because of its simplicity, but use it persistently as if yon wanted to be cured and "if not cured, you will experience great relief. Mr. Fit7patrick hands us a copy of the Findlay Sunday Gas containing in full the particulars of the prophicies of a certain Dr. Weissenbauer that the great gas reservoir under Findlay will some day explode and cause great destruction. The -editor in an article endeavors to show that the "Dr." is a myth, and the basis of the theories advanced untenable. It is very probable that the fiction was written and published at the instigation of some rival manufacturing interest, to deter manufacturers from locating at Findlay. Eastern iteople who have not been in the west at all, or have not visited it for years, cannot understand what pro gress is lieing made, in Nebraska, for instance. It did look a few years ago as though there was land enough lying around unoccupied, for all the landless of the civilized world, bnt things have changed. Cultivation of the soil, the planting of groves of timber, etc., have wrought a wonderfnl change on tba face of nature; farmers have !een very prosperous, and being also enterprising, their improvements show to good ad vantage. The provident farmer has his pota toes all sold or properly stored, his grain threshed and secured, excepting the corn which he is now husking; his fall plow ing will soon be completed, if the ground don't freeze; his manure hauled out upon the poor spots on the fields; his corrals, sheds, shelters and stables fixed up for winter; the house repairs have all been looked after, broken lights replaced, storm doors placed where needed and double windows, stoves fitted up nicely, and everything in shape for cold weath er when it shall come, as come it may any day. . S. Moore of Boone county, an old- time friend of the Joubxai family, called at our sanctum Wednesday last. He was returning home from a visit to Noble county, Ohio, and was accompanied by his wife and daughter and niece, Miss Nellie Moore. While in Ohio, it rained about four days out of seven. Mr. Moore used to come to Columbus with all his farm produce, and buy here all his sup plies, the trip occupying three days. Afterwards, on the completion of the railroad, Albion became his market town; the building of the road to Fuller ton made Albion seem a long ways off; Cedar Rapids discounted that, and now a depot at Belgrade will soon make the railroad a convenience for sure, and Co lumbus as a market is unthought of. The Grand Lodge of the state of Nebraska of the L O. O. F. was in ses sion at Omaha Wednesday to Friday of last week. Judge H. J. Hudsor was representative from Wildey Lo" .e of this city. He tells us that there were 260 members present, that reports from different parts of the state show that the order in the state is very prosperous, there having been within the past year, an increase in membership of 1,000. There were many changes and impor- -tant legislation at the Grand Lodge, in teresting to the fraternity. A sorrow ful incident cast a gloom over Friday's work. Benjamin Palmerton, an old settler of Beatrice, a man of integrity and worth, dropped dead while at din ner. The next meeting will be held at Grand Island, the third Wednesday in September 1889. raUTICU. DEMTE ! InMlDDT, The republican nominee for congress, and E. P. WEATHE1Y, Em., The democratic nominee for the same office, at the OPERA. HOUSE, Saturday, Oct. 27, At 7:30 p. m., will discuss the issues be tween their respective parties in this campaign. There will doubtless be a rush for seats, and everybody should go early. A Rousing Kepabhran Mrttiag at IMatte Center. Train No. 4 on the U. P.R. R. brought to this city on Friday, Oct. 19th, "the Hon. George W. E. Dorsey, Hon. George B. Meiklejohn and Mr. John Macken of St. Paul, Neb. These distinguished cit izens were billed for a grand republican rally at Platto Center for the sama af ternoon, so, accompanied by Mr. Henry Ragatz, Carl Kramer and others they immediately took carriages for their des tination. On approaching the "Center" they saw the Hags and bunting Hying in ev ery direction tho whole town was in holiday array. The meeting was opened at 4 o'clock, every seat in the nice new hall being occupied, and hundreds standing. .As a compliment to the visitors Carl Kramer was asked to preside. The stage was neatly decorated. The Hon. George W. E. Dorsey spoke for over an hour on tariff mostly, and the audience listened very closely and attentively, applauding intelligently. He was followed by John Macken who spoke to his countrymen, appealing to them to stand by the party that gave thorn tho homestead law, asking them to beware. That which English free trade had done for Ireland, democratic English free trade, if introduced, would do for their adopted land. Mr. Macken showed himself to be a well-read, thoroughly informed gentleman and mado many friends and converts. At 6 o'clock the meeting adjourned and was convened again at 8. -If such a thing was possible, the hall was even more crowded in the evening than it had been in the afternoon, many ladies being in attendance. George B. Meiklejohn made a fine speech, followed by Mr. Dorsey. At half-past 10 the chairman, after thanking tho audience for the per fect order and good feeling that had prevailed, wanted to dismiss them, but repeated calls for Macken brought that gentleman out with a beautiful tribute to the republican party, etc. Mr. Sam Alexander, a veteran of 1810 and one of our respected citizens of Platte county, gave his experience of that campaign. Thanks are duo to Ed. Hoare, Mr. Stephenson and in fact all the citizens of Platto Center including the Band with their good music for the complete success of the meeting. If there is any virtue in any public gathering, that meeting certainly has done much for the cause of republicanism in Platto county. Arrangements lmvo been made to hold another large republican meeting at Platte Center, Thursday, Nov. 1st, which will be addressed by Senator Manderson anil others. Canning Factory. Columbns has a territory of about two hundred square miles in her immediate vicinity that she can utilize to her own great advantage, and so that it will inure to her benefit always. After a city ceases to increase by immigration, her march forward depends mainly upon manufacturing and wholesale or jobbing houses. In this respect, the first insti tutions count heavily, because every one successfully under headway, helps to ward the establishment and well being of another. There is no denying the fact that factories and small farms, well-tilled are good to accompany each other, and right here we have as good land as the sun shines on for the purpose of raising veg etables,small fruits, etc. Give us a good canning factor, well provided and rightly conducted and it will add immensely to the business in terests of this city. In the first place, more men, women and children will find employment, and such spend the money they .earn, at home, with our merchants, mechanics and dealers, and spend the most of it every week. The following, from the Nebraska Farmer,shows some of the advantages to be derived: A canning factory is a more important adjunct in connection with truck farming than can be seen at first glance. In any town where the business is conducted to any extent, it becomes a paying institu tion in a two fold sense. Say there are twenty merchants who will contribute $150 each. This $3,000 will furnish-all the machinery of the plant necessary to do a large business. As the canning is conducted during the summer any cheap structure will do for a building. One hundred hands, women and girls, can be profitably employed for several months in such a concern, and it is safe to 6ay the bulk of the earnings of this 100 go right into the hands, or business, of the twenty merchants who invested in the project, and even if they lost the princi pal, the increased income, business and population resulting from the erection of the cannery would be largely bene ficial to all concerned. It should be added that the new man casting about for a new location to em bark in the business cannot but regard this factory as a promising and encour aging auxiliary, since he is assured about first cost for that portion of his products it may not pay to ship. A good deal more might in justice be said in favor of the project. Tomatoes, corn and peas are the sta ples in the vegetable line, and strawber ries, peaches, plums, eteu, in the fruit line. Next in importance would be a box factory, which could be secured at a similar cost and most of what has been said in favor of the canning establish ment will apply here. Hnmparey. From the Independent. Mrs. W. A. McAllister aacompanied her husband to Humphrey Wednesday, and was the guest of Mrs. O. T. Fenner. Mrs. John Early and Mrs. Davis, of Columbns, passed through Humphrey, Saturday, on their way to Newman Grove. Dr. Webster of St Edward, will ar rive the first of the week with his family and locate with us for the practice of medicine, Palestine. Martha Hanchett will commenoo teaching in district No. 35 in the new school-house which has just been built in place of the one burned by lightning in June last Mr. Christensen is repairing our roads, which have been needing mending for a long time. J. F. Abrahamson is building a house for Mr. Jud. Wilson of Mt Pleasant Mr. Henry Guiles has a brother visit ing him, whom he had not seen for 20 years. His home is in Missouri. He brought a car load of apples with which he will supply the needs of the people. Mr. Robert Irwin, a brother of "Uncle Billy," is visiting him for 30 days from Illinois. " ; Father Berlin was very ill, last week from dropsy; is a little more comfortable now. Mr. Harrison Onry of Omaha, brother of Rev. T. A., visited him last Tuesday. He had just returned from Virginia, where he had been to attend his father in his last illness. He remained until after the funeral. A valuable farm horse, owned by M. C. Hanchett, who is in Wisconsin, died Tuesday, of colic. Our John thinks people in America build tho most when crops are lightest, as new houses, barns, corn cribs, gran aries and fences are being built all up and down the Lookingglass and amongst others Mr. Peter Walen is fencing 160 acres, Mr. Rolf 80, and J. M Anderson the same; Mr. Hedlnnd is building a barn, 20x26, with sheds on each side, arid W. F. Hanchett is building one the same size with one shed; Mr. Stevens has moved his house onto his new farm. An uncle of John Wistrom, who has just arrived from Sweden, is very sick of typhoid fever at the hotel in St. Ed ward, and John has gone to attend him. Dax. Xeboville. Jack Frost has put in appearance- and is calling on us nearly every morning; this and the falling leaves remind us that summer is not eternal in this lati tude. Mittens, gloves and overcoats are in demand, and the felt-lined and wood-on-soled shoes of your townsman Messrs. Siegenthaler & Co., will find ready salo. Threshing is mostly all done in this vicinity; largo straw-stacks and poorly filled granaries is the result of this year's small grain crop. Corn, although a lit tle damaged by the early frost, will bo a large yield. As there are a great many hogs and cattle fed in this vicinity very little of it will be marketed. Ths Loseke Creek literary society held their first meeting at the Brugger school honso last Saturday evening; it was quite largely attended L. H. Leavy was elected president, Miss Mary Ericsen, secretary. Tho society will meot every Saturday alternately at the Brugger and Loseke school-houses. Theophile Brugger came up from Lin coln last Saturday to see his father who has returned from his three months' vis it to Germany and Switzerland. Mr. Kaspar Jenni, who was very ill lately, is around again. W. J. Westbrook is building a large cattle barn for John Wise, Esq. Messrs. Herman and Gerhard Loseke are also each building large barns. Mr. Henry Kersh, who will remove his family to Humphrey soon, will have an auction sale of horses, cattle and hogs Oct 31. B. T. The above letter should have appear ed in last week's Journal, but got side tracked somewhere. Ed. Joukxau Dixtrirt 44jmm1 Vicinity. Miss Anna Hamer of the Senior room, high school, went into the country Fri day evening and spent the Sabbath with her schoolmate Eliza Drinnin. At the late union caucus held in Co lumbus twp. and immediately after the announcement of the result of the first ballot, Mr. Griffin took occasion to score the late supervisor for his management of the town funds in a spirited speech which made the chair tremble and tho new hall ring. Mechanics inTthe city should not com plain. They are having a splendid op portunity to provide for the coming winter. Much work in the country is going undone because carpenters cannot lie had, while in the city can bo seen daily, loads of potatoes, some being nearly a foot long, offering for 30 to 35c a bushel, and winter apples to be had at 75c. Really this is no off year for tho mechanic. Doc. Tanner, the torn turkey that was buried last winter for 30 days in a drift of snow, now hobbles around on his club feet (having lost his toes); he is as fat as an eel and only nwaits the announcement of the president's annual proclamation. Shell Creek Item. Mr. David Thomas has returned from Wales. Had a pleasant time. Crossed the little pond between America and Europe in 6 days. Mr. Lorenz Ensmenger is building a new stable. Some are husking corn, bnt will be sorry for it as it is not fit to crib, splen did for immediate feeding. A. Henrieh is threshing, the neighbors are helping to work and haul off grain. The corn crop is very good and corn will bring a good price. Men for husk ing in great demand. Hay is plenty and stock sales give good chances for ob taining good stock. Small grain does not turn out well ex cepting barley, which is of good yield, quality and price. Potatoes are also rather scarce but enough for home consumption. X.T. z. John M. t'ondring, Eq., Gondring Give the Voters Light. The supervisors' record, No. 2, pages 231 and 232, contains the following para graph: "Thursday p. m., Jan, 5, 1888. -Supr. Henry presented the following resolution: "Resolved, that the County. Attorney be instructed to proceed at once to col lect fines and costs assessed against Reinhold Brandt and others by the District Court Carried." The "light" wanted, Mr. Gondring, will readily suggest itself to your mind, and the Jourxal stands ready next week to publish what yon have to offer on this subject Let it be brief and pointed.
