B. Hall has shown us a model of a very useful article that he has just in ventedan article in every-day demand, and on which there has been considerable inventive genius exercised. We do not doubt that he, like Mr. Lockwood,. Platte county's now famous inventor, has reached the goal in this direction, and the Journal hopes there are "mil lions in it" for him. E. Sanderson was in town Friday and Saturday exhibiting a man whose deformities were supposed to have been caused by his mother witnessing a fight between her husband and a bear. A cut upon the neck, the peculiar formation where the knees ought to be, and of the muscles of the arm, were some of the points of similarity to the bear, as claim ed' by the showman. PERSONAL.

This is the airy, stinging title of an other sprightly amusing book by Palmer Cox.

The illustrations are splen did and will make the boys and girls roar with laughter. Tho Boston Budget, says: "As a holiday book nothing could be more appropriate, since nothing could confer greater pleasure upon the little ones." The National Republican says: "Every page is a picture and all the text music, a fountain of fun, never ceasing. It will make young eyes blaze." It will certainly be wonderfully popular. It is published by Messrs. Hubbard Bros., of Philadelphia, Chicago, and Kansas City, to whom persons desiring a copy or an agency should apply. Crowds at McEnilree Another Sale.

We learn from Carl Kramer, who was in Lincoln Monday that Gov. Thay er's majority now foots up 19,760. He says, too, that in all of the second con gressional district only one democrat was elected as a member of the lower honse of the legislature. - Friends of Gen. Manderson are apprehensive that Laird will be a formidable candidate for U. S. senator. We do not see that this necessarily follows. The great body of republicans in the state favor Mr. Man derson's return, no matter who may wish to succeed him. Niels Olson made a brave fight in his own county, carrying eight of the seventeen townships, besides one ward in the city of Columbus. His home township gave him 86 to 48 votes.

Edward GPinkney, a former resident of Colambifij, dropped in on me not very long-ago.- He said that he hailed from Hailey, Idaho Ty., which place he had made his home for the past several years, and that he owned a valuable mine in that section of the country. He looked well and was neatly dressed in a fine broadcloth suit, and seemed to have plenty of money. He claimed that there were "no flies on him" then; that when he first left Columbus, he had a very hard time; that he "broke on the rail," trampedlept in sheds and straw stakes, and suffered nearly every kind of priva tion, till he struck this place in Idaho, where he located his mining claim, and had acted as deputy sheriff. He also said that in the meantime he had visited in New York city, and along the coast of California as far north as Alaska; that he did not know the whereabouts of his mother or brother; that the last he heard of the former she was in California and that his brother was somewhere in Da kota. O. H. Archer has gone to work at his trade at -Golden, a few miles from Den ver. He claims that the supply of printers and nearly all kinds of skilled workmen greatly exceeds the demand. E.

He devotes about four hours a day doing the clerical work per taining thereto, and the rest to his studies. It is hardly necessary for me to state that our young friend is very well liked. I have been asked frequently about the decision of the U. S. supreme court in the case of Bowman Bros, against C. & N. W. R. R. reported in 125th U. S. Reports. The court decides that liquors manufactured in one state can be shipped into another state in unbroken pack ages, notwithstanding such transporta tion may be prohibited by the law of the latter, for such enactments entrench upon the power of congress to regulate inter-state commerce under .the U. S. constitution. The decision would seem to imply that the party receiving the liquors might sell them in tho shape that ho received them, as such first sale is a necessary part of the commerce between states. In my correspondence to tho Hum phrey Independent I have elalwrated more extensively concerning the attitude of this high tribunal on the liquor traffic; to which, I would respectfully refer my questioners, if they are not satisfied with the foregoing statements. BVRON MlLLETT. " Denver, Nov. 14, 88. RECOLLECTIONS OF AN OLD SErTLER. BY ISGOMAR. Early in the year 1857 there arrived in Columbus a man about forty years of age, a native of Belgium. He had come to Omaha at an early period after the organization of the territory, and had lived there and at St. Marys, Iowa. He was destined to play a prominent part in the politics of the early days of this county, being a natural politician, his name was John Reck. The headquar ters for the transaction of business of the Columbus land company had been at Florence, and that year it was trans ferred to Columbns, and John Reck was chosen president, and J. P. Becker sec retary. At the legislative session in the winter of 1857, Mr. Reck was elected doorkeeper, and in the year 1858, Platte county being entitled to one representa tive, John Rickly and John Reck were the opposing candidates, and the latter carried the election by a few votes. The following year C. H. Whaley was the representative. The following year Mr. Reck was a candidate for the democrat ic nomination and was defeated by S. H. Fowler. C. H. Whaley was nominated by the republicans, and Mr. Reck ran as an independent candidate and was elected by a fair majority. The follow ing year the race was again between Reck and Rickly, resulting this time in the election of John Rickly. The war had by this time burst on the country, and the government had made an assess ment on the states and territories to raise money to carry on the war, and as Nebraska was poor and unable to pay her quota, the appropriation for legisla tive expenses was applied to paying that assessment and no session of the legisla ture was held. In course of time Mr. Reck changed his politics and became a republican. He had heretofore had sufficient political influence to secure a position as doorkeeper or sergeant-at-arms during the sessions of the legisla ture of which he was not a member, and when the internal revenue law was pass ed, received the appointment of deputy assessor, which he held at the time of his death, which occurred in the fall of 1863. His remains were buried in the old cemetery on the hill, (now a part of Fred Blaser's farm), attended by the most of the inhabitants of the town, and under the supervision of some two or three of his Masonic brethren then re siding here, who read the burial service of that society at his grave. Many years later the officers of the Columbus cem etery association removed his remains to our present cemetery. Thus passed away a pioneer, who will long be remem bered by those who knew him, for his amiability and kindness of .heart, and who was a born diplomat and politician. Cmrd of Tkaaks. We wish to tender our heartfelt thanks to our many friends of Columbus for the grand donation given to us on the even ing of the 15th. While we will not be able to repay you in this world for your kindness, we promise you we will ever remember you in our humble prayers. Rev. H. L. & Belle Powers. Columbus, Nov. 16,88. Buy a life of Gen. Sheridan, one of America's greatest warriors, from Mrs. 1 Henry Woods. Mr. sad Mr. Joka Drake. Elsewhere in today's Journal will be found a mention of the event spoken of below. We add this from the Leigh Times of last week:' On Monday last, there were gathered together at the residence of W. C. Jack son in Creston precinct, about one hun dred guests, the occasion being no less than the sixtieth anniversary of the mar riage of Mr. and Mrs. John Drake, father and mother of Mrs. Jackson. What must be the feeling of this aged couple looking back to the distance of sixty years to their wedding day! and how much admiration they inspire in one, by their undimmed intellect and sparkling conversation; Mrs. Drake read an interesting paper prepared by her self, detailing many of the noticeable events of their life's journey. Sixty years ago last Monday witnessed their wed ding day, just six days after the election of Jackson whose campaign Mrs. Drake reminded us was conducted on tho same issno as the one just passed. Tho tariff oeing tue turning poim in nis election. Mr. Drake today is as healthy as a man of fifty and ho was heard to remark to a guest, that the length of a man's life did not depend so much upon the years he has lived.as upon the vitality he possess es, and-that he considered his life about half spent Forty years of their married lifo was 6pent in Newark; New Jersey, and eleven in Nebraska. Mr. Drako is eighty-one years old and frequently walks from his residence to Creston, a distance of three miles. Among those "gathered together to cele brate this event, Mr. and Mrs. Drake could count their children, their child ren's children, and theirchildren's child ren. Besides the paper read by Mrs. Drake were others read by Rev. J. Wil son of Tracy Valley, Mrs. Alvinns Leach of Tracy Valley, and Mrs. F. W. Ander- man of Creston. There were a number of valuable pres ents, but what must have seemed most valuable and precious to this aged couple was the love and respect shown by their relatives and their unnumbered friends on this occasion. After enjoying the hospitality of the house and repeating many times the hope of being present at their seventy-fifth anniversary, the guests departed, one and all pronounc ing it the most' enjoyable affair of the season. Creston. Mr. and Mrs. John Drake, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on Nov. 12th, at tho house of their daughter, Mrs. W. C. Jackson. It was a most en joyablo affair, -very informal, being a reception instead of a party. They re ceived calls from 80 friends between 2 and 8 o'clock p. m., including parties from Leigh, Humphrey and Creston. Refreshments were served to each group of callers. Thoy were much surprised to receive from their friends such tokens of their respect and kind feeling, espe cially the elegant chairs from Leigh and Creston. The bride was dressed in black silk with fine laces at neck and wrists and wore the beautiful pin and ring which wero among the gifts at their 50th anni versary in 78. Among the guests were 20 members of the Nebraska branch of their family. Papers of much interest were read by Mrs. Drake, her daughter Mrs. Anderman, by Mrs. L. Leech of Hum phrey, and Rev. Joseph Wilson; all the friends joined in singing familiar hymns, led by the organ over which presided Miss Emma Graham and Miss Nellie Scudder. During the evening tho com pany were charmed by the music of Dr. Geer and his accomplished wife. It was a most enjoyable affair. A.
