Frank Crandall has purchased the Vienna restaurant and bakery on 12th st., and is doing an excellent business, which he will be sure to continue doing, as he is thorough-going in every respect. Give him a call, when wanting anything in his line. If you have lost anything and wish to find it, advertise it in the Journal. Nearly every week we have illustrations of the beauty of advertising lost articles. Last week a lady advertised a silk mitt, and the next day Dr. Schug told us that he had found it. For two cents we would give the public the name of the Columbus feeder of the Platte Center Argus. If he has a notion that there is no hereafter, let him not take our name in vain again.

Lindsay Sentinel. Now is the time (any day) to sub scribe for the JourxaIj, a local weekly paper and the Nebraska Family Journal, a state weekly paper, containing every week thirty-two columns of choice read ing matter, both for $2 a year, when paid in advance. We are receiving num bers of new subscribers still there is room for more. tf It was suggested by a writer in the Journal last year that school officers provide fuel sufficient for an emergency, for all schools under their charge. One board of directors in Wayne county, we remember, are in the habit of providing a box of crackers to be opened only in case of a hard 6torm where it is unsafe for teacher and children to venture forth. Work on the new hotel is proceeding right along, and it is now expected that it will be inaugurated the Fourth of March. The plumbers are done, the plasterers are nearly ready to begin. A hotel gentleman of large experience was in the city one day last week, looking over the property, and said that it was, from foundation to top, the most com plete hotel property that he had seen lately. Last Friday evening quite a number who went to attend the Lyceum were disappointed, in finding the Hall oc cupied otherwise. We are assured that the Hall will now be reserved exclusively for the Lyceum on Friday evenings. The executive committee have not furnished us the program. The question for de bate is, "Is marriage a failure?" The disputants are Messrs. Kilrain, Shall, Brindley and Hard. PERSONAL, -j. - Miss Fannie Geer was at Fremont last week.

Rasmussen and Mr. and Mrs. L Sibbernsen passed Thanks giving day with their friends Mr. and Mrs. N. Hasselbalch of St Edward. W. D. Davies of the vicinity of Dun can was in the city Saturday on business and gave the Journal a very pleasant call, also renewing a subscription to the paper. "Coon" Darling, who has been living on his land up the Loup the past two years, was in town Monday and will linger around this neighborhood until spring. Notwithstanding the strong counter attractions, the People's theatre last night was packed to the doors, hundreds being tnrned away, the attraction being the initial performance in this city of Beach & Bowers' refined minstrels. There was undoubtedly the best pleased audience that ever assembled at this place of amusement The company made a decided hit, every act being received with laughter and applause. The pro gram was new and original from the rise to the fall of the curtain, all the old, time-worn business being abandoned and replaced by pleasing innovations in min strelsy, the specialties of Mr. Otis Bow ers, the dancing of Messrs. Beach and Freeman and the musical act of Messrs. Green and Wall being excellent. V fine quartette and orchestra added m jh to the evening's entertainment The com pany plays four more nights and will doubtless be greeted by large bouses. The Jockey Uniformed Band, an original feature of this company, will give a grand street parade daily at noon. Omaha Daily Bee, Nov. 16. At the Opera House, one night only, Tuesday Dec. 11. Admission 50 cts. The ball given by Occidental Lodge No. 21 K. of P.Thursday evening, is very highly spoken of by those who attended it The twenty minutes drill of the Uniform Rank under the command of Capt Corte of Omaha was very finely executed. The silent manual, consist ing of 66 different, successive move ments made in unison without command, was a special feature of the occasion, and was made without a break by A. Sauer, C. C. Beringer, C. W. Pearsall, M. H. Hnrd, L. Zinnecker and George Spear. W. B. Dale on behalf of George Spear presented the Division with a standard, beautifully embroidered by Mrs. Spear. G. G. Bowman received the standard with a speech. The ele gant supper was provided by the ladies of the Guild, the music for the dance was furnished by the String Band, Mr. W. H. Ramsey, calling. All together the evening will long be remembered by those present The Norfolk News learns of a feature of the capture of the Custer county mur derer, Hannstine, that has so far not appeared in print It appears that Hannstine, shortly after the murder, came into this county, and he and a woman whom he claimed as his wife, went to work on the farm of Solomon Altschuler, near Madison. At the time he came there, a young lad, we do not remember his name, from Custer county was at work for Mr. Altschuler. Recog nizing Hannstine, he kept his own coun sel, but throwing up his situation he went immediately to Broken Bow and apprised the sheriff of the whereabouts of the murderer. When the sheriff ar rived at Altschuler's his bird was on the train bound for Columbus, but his tele gram to the officers at that place led to the arrest That boy ought to have a part of the reward for his coolness and good judgment According to previous announce ment a' goodly number of teachers assembled at the court room last Satur day to complete arrangements for the county association. A constitution was adopted, and a program arranged for the first regular meeting, which will be held at Platte Center, January 12th, at 10 o'clock a. m. The regular meeting was delayed on account of the meeting of the North Nebraska Association this month. The meeting was enthu'iastic and earnest, and its success is a ared. L. J. Cramer was elected presideut and Miss Mable Strothers, of Oconee, secre tary. ThG program is in the hands of an executive committee, consisting of Messrs. Rothleitner of Creston, Rowe of Matson and Hurd of Columbus, who will announce the same through the press in due time. ACardet Tfcaalu.

Richard Cunningham has moved his law office to the front rooms over the new Commercial bank where he intends to devote all his time and attention to the practice of law. Mr. Cunningham has had some years successful practice in New York in connection with the most able and experienced lawyers of that bar. His residence in this county at various times during the past ten years make it safe to say that those requiring legal assistance will find him an able and efficient protector of their interests. Norton, Sprecher & Bell of the Nor folk News, discontiue their work upon the same, the establishment having been sold to Messrs. Huse & Son, who "with plenty of ability, capital and newspaper experience, will make the paper a suc cess;" so say the old proprietors, who have built the property up to its present standard. We are sorry to see them quit, for they have done a big work, done it well, and were just getting ready to reap the reward of their trouble and labor. E. D. Fitzpatrick has recently placed in his hall on 13th st, a drop curtain that makes a handsome appearance from the rear of the halL The center-piece is in the shape of a picture-frame and surrounded on all sides by business cards. The picture is a very good rep resentation of 13th st, from Fitzpatrick's east to the B. & M. depot, the artist having drawn somewhat from his imagi nation for some of the buildings east of the new hotel and the Commercial bank. MUSICAL. BY m. FAOK. Cosceit vs. Self-Ceslde-Ke A reasonable amount of conceit is par donable, especially in professional men and artists. It is often very useful to them, nay more, while it has often help ed many a one to put forth all his pow ers, it has atao aided many an ignoramus to find his way through life, while other wise he would have been trodden under foot Conceit especially helps the youth and nature seems always to pro vide the young with a good amount of it Were young people fully aware of their own deficiencies, were they able to measure the powers of their competitors or the greatness of the task before them, they would often shrink back in fear. As it is, their conceit carries them on ward, and aided by it, they step where older men scarcely dare to set a foot. Tis true sometimes a young man perish es, as did the buffalo that tried to stop the train on the prairies, bnt then if one dies in an effort, there are thousands that8ucceed. Youth is generally con ceited. Conceit, however, blinds us hence the errors as well as tho daring deeds of youth. But as the bondage of conceit is loosened youth sees the world as it is, hence in the approaching years youth becomes more cautious and less daring. Conceit is in a measure pleas urable, as most delusions are. It may gratify our vanity to appear as a giant when comparing ourselves to the people we see in the valley below, while we stand on the mountain peak, but then the delusion is a harmless one. Gradu ally we learn to know the fact, that those who are now small are in reality just as large as we are, and that we in their eyes appear just as small as they did. With an increase of good common sense, con ceit takes its llight, and for this blessing we should constantly ask. When the Scotch people pray that they might be blessed "With a canty conceit o' themselves," they do not mean to pray for the power of overestimating themselves, but a' reasonable degree of self-reliance and self-contldonce. Self confidence is not to be confounded with conceit. Whilo tho latter should be discouraged, the formor should bo en couraged. Schumann, who, by the way, was a very modest man, said "That self reliance and confidence are special arts within art Within his four walls," he says, "the artist should be modest with regard to himself and most conscien tiously dilligent, bnt toward tho public he must display courage,nay even a little gay boldness, and the fair one will yield." The conceited man overrates his powers, and generally hf3 nothing wherewith to support his high opinion of himself; but the self-confident man knows his gifts, he trusts in them, he uses them ju diciously and effectively, hence he gen erally succeeds. It may bo difficult to draw the line that divides the two, but nevertheless there is such a line and the public generally can distinguish between both. Self-confidence is not easily acquired. It may be cultivated but most generally it is inborn. The sslf-confident man dares to sum at the prize and often gains it while he who hesitates and doubts never wins anything. Teachers should seo to it, that pnpils overcome their fears and gain some self-conlidenco else they will never make successful players or singers in public, but they should also be very watchful, for self confidence is apt to lead into conceit. By cultivating self-confidence we must be careful not to let the pupil become superficial, and while it will be a good plan for young people to compare them selves with those beneath thorn, they shonld never cease to look upward. Self confidence is needed in all stations of life: it displays itself in men's looks and motions, it speaks little of itself, bnt is ever ready for action. On the other hand he who lacks self-confidence is an hum ble sort of a fellow, better designed to serve than to rule. Ho needs constant aid, advice and encouragement, and the best of men become weary of bestowing this. And now that we have written on this subject, we will simply add that we should strive to see ourselves as others see us. Many a musician, many a teach er utterly failed in their calling, bo cause they could not do this. From Brainard's Musical World. Ditrict44 and Vicinity. An unusual fall this. Freezing does not interfere with digging, plowing, and working the roads. Ground dry and dusty. All those who commenced husking their corn in season, and made an earnest effort to get it out, have the satisfaction of having it in crib ere this. Miss Clarissa Compton,having sold her farm of 80 acres near here, has had her small house moved into Columbus and placed upon some lots which she owns immediately south of the St. Francis Academy, where she now resides. The question will soon arise, Whence comes our seed oats? Joe Drinnin has been having some improvements on his house, in the way of guarding against high winds. Ed. Palm, whose equal is hard to find, did the handiwork and was employed through the agency of James Pearsall. Henry Darling who lives on Guy C. Barnum's farm, has purchased a new corn sheller to which ho has attached his thrashing horse-power, and is now busily engaged in shelling ont large piles of corn. The place of holding the newly or ganized Sunday School has been changed. It is now held every Sabbath at 3 p. m., at the residence of Mr. Pick ett instead of at the school-house, as heretofore. Duncan. Fine weather now. Corn husking is nearly done. There is a movement on foot to start a singing choir here, meeting every Tues day night. The remains of father Lemp, one of the first settlers of this neighborhood, were put to their last resting place Sat urday last The deceased was nearly eighty years old and widely known. Some cases of diptheria were reported in this vicinity; Dr. Hohen, the attend ing physician, was coming and going at a lively rate last week. Our town of Duncan well deserves the reputation of being a cowboy town, be cause it requires many boys to carry on the business of the Warren Live Stock Co., who are feeding now at this point 14,000 sheep, 150 cattle, 80 horses, a great many hogs, and about 200 moon.
