The fine weather of Nebraska this fall has called attention to the old say ing originated years ago by the Journal that Nebraska has more fine days.in "the year .than any other state in the Union. There is considerable talk about the new postmaster "for Columbus, and the location of the office; but of course it is all talk yet and will remain so until after the fourth of March next, at least. The ladies musical will hold its first meeting of the season Saturday evening, in Mrs. Page's rooms at Mrs. Winter botham's.

". - Two blankets were stolen 'from the backs of horses tied near, the .Congrega tional church -Sunday evening. This is one of that class of crimes that ought to receive prompt and severe punishment a sneak thief being the worst kind of a thief, just as an assassin is -the meanest kind of a murderer.

Eight horses and a cow were' burned, six of them being the property of Fred and two belonging to a renter on his place. The barn and entire con tents were consumed. A son of the renter was badly burned about the head while making an effort to capture a farm wagon from the flames. Loss about $1,500; insurance $900. The origin .of the fire is unknown, but it is thoucrht to be incendiary. Humphrey Republican.' Great Event For Colaaba. . On the evening of December" 4th, at the Opera House" this city Mrs! Scott Siddons, the celebrated reader, will ap pear in an entertainment 'given under the auspices of the Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal church, this city. All -who have ever heard her are unbounded in their praise. Certainly the ladies of the Guild deserve the thanks of this com munity for .their courage .and enterprise in securing such a star to shine in our firmament,if even but -for a few minutes: At the state corn' exhibit at Lincoln, commencing Jan. 15, 89, the points on ear corn are. for length, circumference and evenness of ear, per cent of net grain. to cob, color and uniformity, of- grain, quality and ripeness of grain, .weight of net grain compared with legal standard. The premiums are $25 and $15 for 1st and 2d, on largest number of varieties and best displayed collective exhibit As corn appears to be entitled to the name of the great crop of Nebraska, farmers should take great interest in the exhibit Address R. W. Furnas, secreta ry, at Brownville. While in Nebraska November is as pleasant as Msy,and the roads are all that could be desired, we read the following in the Cadiz, (Ohio) Sentinel, which is but a sample of the state of affairs .in many parts of the east: -"The roads in the country off the pike are in a terrible condition, and the continual rains are making them worse every day. If this weather lasts much longer farmers will be obliged to resort to the pack-saddle for transporting their marketing. A farmer on the mud road who brought eight barrels of apples to town, Satur day, was compelled to hitch four horses to the load." We are in receipt of "Fremont Illus trated," an attractive illustrated pamph let issued under the auspices of the "Trade Bureau," Fremont, Nebraska. This is a publication of more than ordi nary excellence and. interest, and is in reality a well written essay, without per sonal advertisement of any kind, on the inexhaustible resources of corn, hay and live-stock of the whole state of Nebras ka, being devoted entirely to live-stock subjects. Fremont has come to be one of the great general live-stock centres of the West, and its great establishments which the book illustrates, and an im mense showing of beef cattle, thorough breds, native and imported horses, sheep feeding and hog interests are splendidly indicative of the resources of. the state generally.

Genoa Leader. The Murderer Caught. -November 9th, 1888, Hiram Roten and Wm. Ashley, school officers, went to the residence of. Albert -E. Haunstine in Custer county, to confer with-, him in regard to a suspicion -against him for stealing some things -.from the school house. As they did not return home Friday, -Saturday or Sunday, their friends becamo -alarmed and began a search, which resulted -in their bodies being found, Nov. 12th, concealed in a hay stack on Hannstine'e place. Both had been shot through the head. Rolen's face had been' badly eaten by the hogs. -. Haunstine and wife, nnd- the' team the murdered men had driven, were missing, together with the money th'ey'had on their persons. .Posters were immediately sent out by .Charles Pen n, 'sheriff of Custer. county, descriptive of -the two fugitives, offering" $400 reward by the state of -Nebraska for the arrest" and 'conviction, and by Custer comity, $500 for the arrest, dead or alive of Albert E. Haunstine. Thursday last -Sheriff Bloedorn re ceived a telegram stating that Haun stine was 'on the train -from Norfolk. Calling- policeman C. M. Taylor to -his assistance they boarded the train, made sure of their man" and the sheriff put his arms around him. II. had his right hand on a navy revolver in his overcoat pock et, and his left hand grasped a Winches ter rifle; he had on his person another, large "navy revolver, a belt filled with cartridges,a flask of aqua fortisforty odd dollars in money, a plug of tobacco, a headache cure, etc. The aquafortis had on it the label of a Norfolk druggist He was taken to the jail " and securely locked in the cage of the same, and kept there until Saturday noon, when he was turned over to the sheriff' of Custer county who took him on the west-bound U. P. train, en route, to Broken .Bow. A special to the Bee, from that place, un der date of Sunday, tells the rest of the story to date: Sheriff Penn reached here Saturday night with the murderer, Haunstine and his wife, captured at Columbus, -this state. -The. prisoner was brought before County Judge Reese at' 11 o'clock Sat urday night, and waived examination and was committed for trial, which will be in February next. ' He will be taken to Lincoln for safe keping in the mean time. Haunstine freely admits the murder--of Roten and' Ashley, and says he does not know why he killed them, and that Roten -was his. best friend. It seems now that-.Roten, who was a con stabio, and" one of the school directors, went to Haunstine's in search of some articles. -Haunstine gave them a- clock he had stolen frcm the school .house, saying he did not know why he took it." Roten and Ashley then turned and left the house without any trouble, and lit tle suspecting their sudden death. When they had gone about fifteen feet from the door, Haunstine stepped out, and without any warning to his victims, sent a ball crashing through the brain of his best friend, Roten. Ashley, turning auickly, received a ball in the side of lie head, killing him instantly. Haun stine and his wife, who is only a mere girl of seventeen years, hastily covered the bodies with hay,' and taking what money the victims had on their persons, hastily departed. The last time they were seen before their capture -was at Arnold, this county. Haunstine says now that he traveled .only at night, hid ing day times. His course was down the" Loup river, and he finally boarded a Northwestern train at Madison,-which resulted in his capture at Columbus. He does not seem to realize the enormity of his crime and the. penalty which awaits him. He shows his want of sleep dur ing his trip, but otherwise gives no evi dence of any concern for his awful act He talks about it freely, not attempting to conceal any details of the deed. Mrs. Haunstine is held here as an accessory, and will have her preliminary hearing tomorrow. She claims not to' have seen the shooting, as she. was washing at the time, and it' is generally believed that she had no part in the killing at the time the deed was done. Much credit is due to Sheriff Penn for the thorough and systematic manner with which he set about the capture of the murderer, and its .successful termination so soon." Friday last Sheriff Bloedorn allowed us to enter -the cage where the unfortu nate man was kept, and we learned from him that he was twenty-five years old, a native of Ohio, has a brother, Jacob, in Boone county, was married about a year ago. His wife is a diminutive wo man, of dark complexion, would weigh about 90 pounds and is only seventeen years old. When Haunstine was told that -his wife was in the city, he cried like a child, said he w'as very lonesome there in jail, and asked the sheriff to al low her to come and see him. It seems that about five years ago he was a resident of this county and car ried the mail between this city and Creston, "for Mr. Knight In the cage, deprived of fire-arms, he certainly had no f erocius look about him. We are told that he remarked that if anybody had told him five minutes be fore the deed was done that he could do such a thing, he wonldn't have believed it possible.' . Quite a crowd was at the depot Satur day to see the. couple, and various, in deed were the remarks made, idl of them, being summarized in the old ex pression, "The way of the transgressor is hard." OTHER ITEMS. The rifle and the watch H. had with him belonged .to Roten. . The team and buggy were sold at -Madison for $75. Mrs. H. came down- to this city on the morning passenger. train and stopped at the' Lindell House. H: .says he don't know why he committed the crime and she says he tried to get her to consent fo swear that she did the. killing. She was'married to H. at West Union, Cus ter county, last December. She -was born in Lincoln, this state,, and her father, G.'W. Cfellamore,-lives in Utica, Neb. H. confessed the crime, to the sheriff here, while he was taking him to" prison. H. bore a bad reputation as 'a thief. He had stole a clock, some boards and other things. . Some of the boards put on the hay that covered the dead men, had been taken from the school house. Sheriff Penn says' he went to Haunstine's once with a search warrant, and knowing .the character of the man, lie kept his-pistol leveled on him all the time he. was in the house and retired from the "presence" in courtly fashion, except ho kept his pistol pointed on. his man,' else he doubtless would have met the fate of these two victims. The men killed were good men and excellent citi zens, and both, men with wife arid child ren. In a letter from Sheriff Pen tol Sheriff Bloedorn, he 'says that- excite?' ment ran .pretty high, but he took his .prisoner through all right For. the benefit of those who may have like .work to -do we give the particular, manner in; which Sheriff Martin Bloedorn captured the man. -The train (accommodation) was flagged ;a quarter of a mile out of town, when Bloedorn and policeman C. M.' Taylor entered, the caboose, and recognized their man sitting on a block, his loft hand grasping a" Winchester nnd the right a pistol in his overcoat pocket. Bloedorn. approached the man, grasped ' both wrists-from -behind, and placing the weight of his body on- the man's shoulders, told him he was his prisoner. Taylor came, up' and taking' one wrist while the sheriff had' the .other, the man's hands were placed-'behind his back and tho cuffs fastened upon him. It was neatly done, and Sheriff Bloedorn and his assistant, Policeman Taylor, are .entitled to no little credit for the arrest- Th Puor Farm. There- seems- to. us no doubt how the townships of- the county stand on. the question of poor " farm. Taking the county, as a tinit, she voted for tho farm 1,000-to 935; taking it by townships, and there. aro nineteen supervisors, elected, ten of whom will be- in duty bound to voto for tho poor farm, while the other nine might consider themselves instruct ed to vote'against it. - There is no good roason why a poor ' farnvproperly conducted,-will not' le;is good an investment for Platte Co. as it has proved for many another county east" of -lis. Those of-'onr fellow-citizens who have, through .misfortune or 'sickness,-1 fallen behind in the race after- the crear ture comforts, or who by reason of .age are not ablo to earn their full living, but can do something towards it, and would rather do that something than not, can be much better accommodated on a farm than anywhere else, and at a great deal less" cost to the county. Every right-minded man is glad that the laws provide help for the noedy poor, but he wishes to see it expended so that, it will do the greatest good to the greatest number, and tho almost universal' prac tice of the older counties east is in favor of a county farm for the purpose. The Joubnal hopes that Platte 'county will provide it We arrange the vote so that our read ers can have it for easy reference: TOWSSniPS.FOR.- Columbus City . .-.' . .-. . .337 93 Bismark '.....- '.. 67 9 Shell Creek 27. 21 Walker..... 50 37 LrGSTOD it) O Burrows ........;........ 40 6 Joliet 77 11 TOWNSHIPS AGAINST.

' It is enough, however, that the sentiment as expressed is in its favor, and now, while land is yet comparatively cheap, is a good time for the county to invest. The Township Law Convention. - There were. twelve counties represent ed at the convention held in this city last week to confer in regard to amend ments to the township organization law, as follows: Webster county,' by Mark Noble, sup'r; Cuming, D. W." Burke, sup'r; Kearney, Geo. Harding, sup'r; Bntler, Geo. Osterhaiit, sup'r; York, S. V. Moore, sup'r; Buffalo, D. P. Ashburn, sup'r; Pil more, W. C. Massey, county clerk; Antelope, C. W. Preastly, sup'r; Platte, J. C. Swartsley, sup'r; Nance, E. G. Cook, county treasurer; Washington, Mr. Cameron, sup'r. Mr. Ashburn, the chairman, was au thorized to appoint four others who, with himself, are to act as a committee to correspond with all officials in the state acting under township organiza tion, to ascertain their views as to need ed amendments of the law. Some discussion was had in regard to adopting entire the body of township laws of some of the older states, but this was considered impracticable. The proposed amendments are to be digested and incorporated into a bill to be presented at the' coming session of the legislature. -tf -- ATTENTION, jrBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"fl""P"P"f jLHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIw II BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBsK"BBBBBB aH FIRST-CLASS HARNESS SHOP.
