" In "Ingomar s" article of last week, the types should have said that many of tbe early settlers were "couvivial" in their habits. Jos. Hollingshead will have a sale of cows, horses, farm machinery, etc, at Jos. A. Baker's farm near Okay, Thurs day, Dec 2a "If our winter weather were such as this all the time, I'd never think of California," said ono of our citizens Monday morning. A great many farmers have come to the conclusion that corn is now the great crop for this section of Nebraska, and will lay their plans accordingly. The entertainment given by Mrs. Scott-Siddons. under the auspices of the Ladies Guild, was very acceptable to those who had the pleasure of attend ing. A gentleman who thoughtfully read the president's message in last week's Journal- said there was no north, no east, no solid south, and no Sackville West . . At a meeting of the Columbus Creamery Co. last week they found they had cleared a dividend this year of six per cent, tho first they have made since they organized in 1882. Wm.

Notwithstanding the good attendance and the price of tickets, the young men who contracted with the company, camo out short. Sherman Knee has been assigned by the Tolephone Company to Fairmont and Geneva, two exchanges. He will have his hands full, but he is a capable, faithful man and the Co. do well to call him to increased responsibilities. A horse-thief from Holt county was tracked to the region of Pat. Murray's on tho road between this city and Genoa, and Monday the deputy sheriff of Nance county was after his "game." He lost the trail in the neighborhood mentioned. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will give their annual fair and festival at Fitzpatrick Hall this (Wed nesday) evening, Dec. 12th. Supper, 5 to 11 o'clock, p. m. Between 9 and 10 the autograph quilt will be sold by vote. Some few weeks ago we were called on to chronicle the sudden death of Prof. Backns's dog. "The neighbors were glad," the Prof, was sad, but a change has come over all, the Prof, has laid in a new stock; it is a brindle cur this time. t Our old friend James Bell has put in an electric light system for David City, and they do say that it is as near perfection as is attainable. That is the way Bell does things, and we are not surprised at the electric lights tallying with the record. In ordering a change of address for your Journal you should mention the office to which it has been going as well as the one to which you desire it sent; if you give us the latter only, we may lose considerable valuable timo hunting for your name in our long list. The American edition of the Christ mas number of the London Illustrated News (price 50 cents) is a superb pro duction, containing a number of attrac tive engravings suitable to the day they celebrate. For this number the Jour nal is indebted to E. D. Fitzpatrick. Thursday was the dustiest day we have had in several years. Our fall and winter up to date had been so remarka bly fine that the roads were dust several inches deep, and when the southern zephyr moved the air, a considerable portion of the loose real estate had to follow. Rev. Griswold's singing class is flourishing finely, with about thirty members, but room for more. $1.00 for 12 lessons, by a man who has studied carefully with some of the best teachers in America, is exceedingly cheap. For $1.00 your children will derive as much lienefit as they would abroad for $10 or $20. Now is the time (any day) to sub scribe for the Journal, 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 The U. P. have made a radical change in their time table which appears in this week's Journal. We now have a train called Columbus and Omaha local, stopping here. The fast express trains pass here at 12:10 p. m. Two freight trains carry passengers. The trains to Norfolk, Albion, etc, are ac commodated to the change. The sod house that goes to President elect Harrison from Loup City, passed through Columbus Friday. It is 8x16 ft., walls 6 ft. high, built on a flat car. The interior contained Sherman county vegetables enough to supply the presi dent's family all winter, and the walls decorated with paintings. The U. P. and R. L roads carry the house free. -People generally are not aware how important an institution the Union Pa cific railroad is for the city we mean in the disbursement of money to employes and others. The sum expended here in various ways to citizens who use it every month right at home among our business houses, amounts in a year to $40,000 a 6nug sum that would be missed if with drawn from local business. The Journal's receipts for subscrip tions are running over into the nineties. It makes a man feel as though there was a fine grain in human nature when a subscriber says, "Well, I have been a little neglectful and I find I am behind a year with the Journal, just take these 6ix dollars and that will kind o' make the account even up." That kind of evening-up rejoices the printer's heart, A card received announces that Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Bennet, jr., will be at home at Glenwood Springs, Cohx, after Dec 15th, 188a The marriage of Miss Nellie J. Canavan, formerly of this city, to Mr. Bennet, took place at Leadville, Colo, Nov. 28th, 1888. Her many friends here will wish the amiable and talented lady long life and abundant happiness with her chosen partner for life's journey. Mrs. Rose T. Page, music teacher. Rooms at Mrs. Winterbotham's. Terms, per lesson $1.00. For regular pupils two lessons a week for six months, 50 cents per lesson, payable monthly. Lessons excused only in case of actual illness. One of the most valuable uses of a local paper is the information that it gives of public sales, public matters of all kinds of general interest and profit to business men and others. This is one great reason why the Journal is sought after as an advertising medium in this section of Nebraska. It has the largest circulation of any paper published in the county. Remember Dr. Haughawout is the only dentist in Columbus that will make the best artificial teeth on any plate you desire for $6.00 per set I use the best material that can be purchased and offer $500.00 reward to any one detecting any inferior article used in making my $6.00 teeth. I guarantee a finer finish and a more perfect fit than can be had any where else. Dental parlors 1 block north of First Nat'l Bank. 1 There are men in town the support of whose families depends, day by day upon what work they can get to do, day by day. Those who have abundance and to spare should endeavor to give employment to the needy. You can find something that needs to be done, that will well repay you for the doing, and make some man feel a little better in the struggle to support his wife and precious little ones dependent upon his labors. Try it. The Burlington Route offers low rate excursions to California and Oregon including, among other prominent points San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sac ramento, San Diego, Portland, etc Tbe excursion parties will leave Omaha, Pa cific Junction, Nebraska City, Lincoln, St. Joseph, Atchison, Kansas City, etc., on morning trains, Wednesday of each week, and upon connecting trains from other points. $35 from all Missouri river points. Schuyler business men complain that their present system of lighting streets is unsatisfactory. If you are not using electric light, like Columbus, try it gentlemen, and yon will discard every other method. Columbus owes more than a little to the proprietors of the two mills (which furnish the electric lights), and to the Street-Car Company, both of which public improvements add greatly to the desirability of the city as a place of residence. The greatest fortunes, the best and the cleanest are made in the rise of real estate values. Ono of Kansas City's richest inhabitants is a woman, Mrs. Sarah W. Coals, aged 59 years, the value of whoso possessions is placed at $10, 000,000. A piece of land that cost her husband $2,000 is now 20 acres in the heart of tbe city. Such a colossal for tune may not be in store for investors in Columbus property, but there is no doubt a good opportunity here for rich returns to men who know how to buy. About a week ago J. L. Tripp, a farmer living near Gardner, Neb., left the country, unknown to his family and his creditors. Ho was badly in debt at tho timo of his departure W. A. Mc Allister, Esq., who had some claims against Tripp, on hearing of his de parture started with the deputy sheriff for bis place, to levy on his property. Mr. Barker, of Silver Creek, whom Tripp was owing, on hearing of his departure, took John Huber and hired the switch engine of this place and started for Gardner, arriving there about an hour before McAllister and Newman, and im mediately placed an attachment on Tripp's property. We hear M. H.White and others are at a loss. The man leaves a wife and several children in almost destitute circumstances. Later Bar ker and Huber were distanced by Mc Allister, because the former had not made an appraisement It seems that Tripp's corn crop had been sold to three or four different parties, each of whom advanced him some money. The law firms of Higgins & Garlow, McAllister & Cornelius, and G. G. Bowman were most actively engaged in hunting up mort gaged property, attaching, etc. We un derstand that chums amount to about $2,500, and assets, all told, to about the same sura. Tripp left Sunday, Dec 2, and his whereabouts is not known. The most flourishing cities in tbe country are those that have judiciously invested money in public improvements of various kinds. To this general prin ciple we do not believe there is a single exception. As in a healthy condition of the human system the pure blood circu lates freely, so in the health of a busi ness community, n very important par ticular is the circulation of the medium of exchange money. Keep something doing, all the time. Keep things mov ing. Better to wear out than to rust out Give your laboring men employ ment they will give you an equivalent in return, never fear, and thus the com munity will get what it needs and all will be benefited. Use all the facilities you can, and just as soon as you can. In this way, they will be increased and cheapened to the user. Columbus has the telephone, the electric light water works and the street car. With all of these, yon will be benefited by using them when you have need of them and when it would be to your advantage. Thus, too, the facilities would be en larged and others be added from time to time, as the inventive genius of the age devises something new and valuable. In a few years as the old pumps get out of order and more people use water from the works, it will be a benefit all around, the works will be improved still further, and water for all the purposes of life in a city can be furnished in first - class style and at very moderate prices. So with the telephone and electric light These appliances are all in good shape in Columbus, but our citizens, we notice, are not using the street cars as much as they might for their own good. Now while the line does not belong to the public, it is a benefit to the public, and it is one of those enterprises that the public must use in order to have its benefits extend ed. The elevator and the street-car have increased the business capacity of cities at least two-fold, and while we cannot, as yet, claim for Columbus, great magnitude as a city, we have all the im portant public improvements which go toward helping it double up in sixe and population in the very near future; it is a doctrine as strong as truth itself that those who use their talents or their means judiciously, will have them duly increased, PERSONAL.- Mat Reed was at Omaha Friday on business.

Mrs. David Anderson will tomorrow (Thursday) leave for Los Angeles, CaL, in hopes of improving her health, which is rather poor during the winter season here Omaha Republican. David Anderson of South Omaha was in the city Friday last on business. He seems to us to look in better health than formerly, perhaps owing to the fact of his not doing so much hard work. John Pollock, proprietor of the Davis House, Beatrice, is in town with a view to leasing the new hotel. Mr. Hincks ton, also, of the Grand Pacific of Beat rice, is here, with the same object in view.

Kinkaid, a case that has been on the docket for a num ber of years, was now decided in favor of the Judge. Chas. E. Jenkins, Esq., of Kalamazoo, who was recently elected chairman of the Madison county board of supervisors, was in town Wednesday, conferring with Carl Kramer, R. H. Henry and others on the practical workings of the township organization laws. Madison county having at the last election adopted the method, her board wish to avail them selves of the experience of their neigh bors, which is always a commendable thing to do. Tbe Loop Bridge. This magnificent structure is nearing completion, so near in fact that if the old temporary bridge should be swept away, the new one could be mado ready to use in ten days. Three spans now swing in mid-air, the fourth and last, it is expected, will be in position tomorrow, Thursday, after which the approaches will be immediately con structed. In all stages of the water it will be safe to cross and teams will not be de layed, as they can pass each other on any portion of the bridge no necessity for a turn-out The completion of the structure so as to be accepted, it is now expected will be about Christmas. Supervisor R. H. Henry, who has spent a good deal of time on the bridge, and given it his best attention, says that M. Wagoner, the man in charge for the King Bridge Co., has done his work in a very excellent manner, and this whole region of Ne braska may well thank Columbus and Columbus township for such a solid pub lic improvement ASsMllBiaae. Friday last at about 11 o'clock the alarm of fire was sounded, and every body were soon on the move to the southern part of the city. The dwelling-house of John Warnick at the foot of Olive street, together with a good portion of its contents was burn ed to the ground. Mrs. Warnick in explaining the origin of the fire said that she was starting a fire inthe'eook stove, using brush. She didn't know how it was, whether the brush had knocked the kerosene lamp down or whether it had exploded by the heat, anyhow, the lamp succeeded in doing considerable harm. Mrs. Warnick grabbed up her babe and ran out of the house with it, and returning quickly secured an older child, who has both hands pretty severely; blistered. Her own skirts were burned to the waist. Mrs. Conway did excellent service with a bucket of water, perhaps saving the life of Mrs. Warnick. It is said that the loss on building and contents was at least $500 with no insurance whatever. Since the above was written, Mrs. Warnick's injuries are regarded as very probably fatal to life. She has suffered fearfully. A purse of some $160 has been subscribed for the benefit of the family. The Taroaga Palltuaa Car To Chicago via Omaha and Council Bluffs, runs daily from Denver and points east thereof in Colorado and Nebraska, over the Union Pactno Kail way and the "Omaha, Council Bluffs and Chicago Short Line." of the Chicago Milwaukee & St Paul Railway, on the following time schedule.

Last Sunday afternoon between four and five o'clock, fire was noticed, under tho stairs, in Frank Koch's barn, six miles northeast of Columbus, in Bis marck township. In the barn at the timo were six horses, two calves, some hay and quite a large quantity of oats. several hundred bushels. The fire was undoubtedly incendiary, as there were tracks of a horso to the barn from the rear, and the fire had been started in bay undor tho stairway. The loss, had the fire not been noticed and extinguished in time, would probably have not lieen less than $2,000. Mr. Koch knows of no enemy of his, and certainly no one with the least spark of manhood in his make-up would do such a deed. He offers $75 reward for the apprehension of the scoundrel. If the newspapers of Nebraska could have their way, every town would be, as they can bo, centers of manufacturing industries. The Madison Reporter tells it in such a way as to be applicable to every community in Nebraska: "Every good citizen ought to favor manufactur ing interests and public improvements in the community in which, they live, and use every means in their power, oven if some sacrifices have to be made in the beginning. Protect the industries you have and make new ones start and grow. We must have them. Each one started more than pays the community who en courage it Let Madison's merchants decide what they want that is in their means to procure and then set about earnestly to procure it Success will surely follow such efforts."
