concerned.

M. Wagner has gone to work in fine
shape on the new Platte river bridge,
and notwithstanding the difficulties,
fifty piles have been driven, leaving
ninety-four to be driven. They are said
to be the best ever put down here as
foundation for a bridge. Mr. Wagner
has a force ot men at work and every
thing will be pushed so that at the
earliest practicable moment the new
bridge will be available for travel. Mr.
Wagner will put up a span in the city
where everyone interested can see it, and
test it to the complete satisfaction of all.
When completed, we will have here the
best wagon bridges in the state.
A gentleman not long among us re
marked the other day upon getting a
piece of work from the Journal job
rooms, that he was not aware that such
fine work could be done here. The fact
is that all through the western country,
in young cities the size of Columbus,
newspaper offices are as finely equipped
for job work as many an establishment
east of half a century's existence in cities
of much larger pretensions. In nearly
all lines of commercial and legal work
we can print as well as they can any
where, and when you have anything to
do, let us, at least, figure on your work
and tell you what we can da
Readers of the Journal today will
notice that there has been one death in
the city from diptheria. At the time we
write this paragraph this is the only
case, either of sickness or death, not
withstanding a rumor circulating about
Platte Center that there had been five
deaths here from the disease and many
others expected. The Journal believes
in telling the exact truth in all such
cases hiding the truth always makes
matters worse. How this one case orig
inated is not known, but is supposed
to have originated from visits ot friends
from Platte Center. The beet precau
tions known to medical scienoe will be
taken, including such sanitary provisions
as may be necessary.
In last week's issue we urged the
propriety of patronizing the job offices
of the city with what work there is to do
in that line, in preference to sending off,
at a loss when quality of material, kind
of work, express, eta, are considered.
The Democrat copies our paragraph and
adds: "Itisnt a question of simple re
turn of patronage. But for your news
paper your town would not be
known beyond the corporate limits.
Every issue is doing every citizen of the
town in which it is published, good. It
is working for the upbuilding ot its
town, and there is a balance due it from
every business man therefor, and the
proper way for him to settle that bal
ance is to patronize the paper. By re
fusing to do so, you are getting that to
which you are not entitled, viz, free ad
vertising." There is a good deal in this,
too, and it is something like a rival in
business, instead ot having a place of
his own, either by right ot ownership or
by lease, in which to transact his buai
neas, he goes to the premises of his com
petitor and there solicits trade for him
self. Itmnotaquesttonof theastouaf
of work you have to do, but ot the spirit
manifested in the placing ot it We be
lieve, for instance, that our dry goods
merchants, hardware dealers, grocers,
efcx, can aad do aeH goods cheaper than
the retail dealers of Omaha or Lincoln.
They can buy as cheap and, having leas
expense for rent, clerk hire, eta, they
can afford to sell cheaper, and as a mat
ter ot fact they do sell cheaper. Weaay
this, the papers of the city, (at least the
Journal ana Democrat), aiake a special
ty ot publishing everything that will
bear favorably upon trade and the
printing of these tlnnga costs the papers
good money all the time, but at the

Schuyler, Feb. 5, 1889. Special to
the Columbus Journal. At 3 o'clock
this morning unknown' parties forcibly
entered the court house, broke the locks
off the cell wherein George Hagerman
(the man who stole John Craig's horses
and set fire to his bam, which consumed
same and contents, including 130 head
of horses, cattle and bogs) was confined,
forcibly dragged him from his bed, took
him to ajtree near by, and with a rope
around his neck, tied him to an over
hanging branch so he could just stand
on the ground. He was shot in the right
temple and killed. This morning he
presented a terrible sight hanging there
in his night-clothes, (the same nearly
torn off him). The coroner cut him
down and will hold the inquest today.
The facts are as above stated. The job
was done up quietly and no one seen
no noise outside'the one revolver shot
being heard. This is the second lynch
ing and hanging in our court house yard
lately, the first being the man Lepour
who killed the sheriff in January, 1885.
The sentiment here is that Hagerman
got what he deserved, but the lynching
is denounced by all.

The Leap Bridge.
From A. W. Clark we learn that last
week Bridge Engineer Campbell came
up from Council Bluffs and gave the
bridge a very careful inspection, satisfy
ing himself that the work had been done
as the plans and specifications called for,
in every particular. Aside from the for
mal report of the inspector, the manner
in which Mr. Wagner had fulfilled his
duties as' representing the King Bridge
Company, called for considerable com
mendation on the part of Mr. Campbell.
The committee, Messrs. B. H. Henry
and Jonas Welch on the part of the city,
and Mr. A. W. Clark on the partof the
township, accepted the bridge. Mr. Clark
gives the following items showing the
cost:
Bridge $38,000 00
Approaches 4,013 00
Plans and specifications 450 00
Survey 63 75
Total $42,726 75

JPiom present indications the new

ing their work with a full force. The
upper floors are finished and the carpets
are being hud. In conversation with a
representative ot the Journal, Mr. Pol
lock, the lessee, said that he was anxious
to open the house as soon as possible.
On the evening ot the opening a ball and
banquet will be given, at which time the

opportunity to inspect this splendid
building which is an. evidence of their
thrift and enterprise.

atel Mistake, If Nethlag Worse.
Dm. Kelley and Haseon of the insane
hospital and Dr. Bear, a well-known phy
sician ot Norfolk, came to the conclusion
that one Caroline Soulier, an employe in
the kitchen ot the insane hospital, was
afflicted with an ovarian tumor.'On the
10th ot January, after placing the pa
tient under the influence of ether, they
proceeded to make the customary opera
tion for removal, but as soon as the
peritoneum was cut through they saw
that they had been mistaken in their
diagnosis, that no tumor existed, but
that the girl was pregnant The -wound
was dressed; shortly afterwards a foetus
about seven months old was born, and
the third day from the surgical operation
the patient died. The body was buried
the next day. The whole matter was
kept secret, until George Oliver, a col
ored cook, who had been discharged the
morning of the funeral, spread tho re
port that Caroline had died of malprac
tice. The excitement became so great
that Coroner Long empanelled a jury,
exhumed the remains, heard the testi
mony of Dre. Taahjean and Long (after
examining the body) and found a verdict
to the effect that the doctors intended
no injury to the deceased girl, though
Tashjean unhesitatingly declared his
belief that the girl had died from pre
mature child birth induced by tho ope
ration. He also testified that he had
examined the deceased in December and
satisfied himself that she was pregnant
arid had told her his belief.
.The"Nbrfolk News, from which we
condense, says that on Friday Inst, Kel
ley was arrested, charged with murder.
When he arrived in charge of an officer
the crowd went wild. Kclloy waived
examination and was placed under $3,000
bonds to appear at the spring term of
the district court, Messrs. Roinbolt, Mc-
Clary, Hays, Schwenk aud Eisely signing
the bond as sureties. When Kelley
started home in charge of the officer,
the crowd made a rush toward him,
yelling in German "Hang him! hang
Mm!" Peter Schwenk placed himself
beside Kelley, and drawing a revolver,
wurned the crowd to stay back. Kelley
then entered a buggy- and was driven
away.
Warrants will be issued, says tho
News,' for the arrest of Hasson and Bear.
We know nothing of Kelley or Hasson,
but Bear has had an extensiro practice
and has, so far as we -know, been a phy
sician without reproach.
It does seem that the doctors could
not well escape on a plea of ignorance of
the true nature of the case.
City Conucil.
The council met in regular session
Saturday, Feb. 2d.
The mayor appointed council men
Gluck and Fitzpatrick ns members of

A report from the city attorney was
read as follows:
To the mayor and council of tho city
of Columbus: Replying to your ques
tion concerning the power of tho city
council to lease a portion of one of the
public streets of the city, I havo'to say
that such leasing for an elevator site is
so entirely foreign to tho purposes for
which the city is vested with the title to
streets that in the absence of an explicit
authority for such leasing I am of tho
opinion thatj the powerdoes not exist.
