The White Cap scare at David City proves to have been only an advertising scheme. Somebody got excited and couldn't see the "ad" part of it. Several brick buildings are talked of for this season. The Journal hopes to see them erected. Every one such adds to the value of every foot of land in the vicinity. The Camp of Modem Woodmen at Lincoln are talking of erecting a large building, to cost 970,000. The Camp here might imitate their neighbors on a smaller scale.

Paul Smith will give two of his celebrated entertainments in the Opera House on March 15 and 16." Baker Post G. A.

Hoare, who rode the goat The special meetings at the M. E. church last week were well attended and it is believed were productive of much good. Bev. Powers delivered one of his interesting and practical sermons each evening. F. H. Rusche has enlarged his store room to accommodate his increasing business. He has one of the best har ness stores in Nebraska, and is well de serving of the success that he enjoys in business.

Pa. Edward KarL the young xc-n ar rested at Omaha for bargUrizi-g the hardware store of Boettcher k Kersen brock at this place last week was given a hearing in the district eoart Saturday which resulted in his being granted a new trial. Hon. George Scott, a temperance lecturer of considerable ability spoke upon the subject of temperance and pro hibition at Fitzpatrick's halL There was a large audience and 'the speaker handled the subject in an interesting and instructive manner. Mutual friends will be sorry to be informed that Dr. S. A. Bonesteel and wife, formerly of this place, now of Den ver, have each filed complaints against the other, in the courts of Denver, ask ing for divorce. Denver dailies of the 19th give copies of both complaints in full. There seems to be a general com plaint of the unusual amount of sick ness. Columbus has had a share, but is fortunate in not having more. Proba bly the saying that "A green Christmas makes a fat grave-yard? wiH explain to a certain extent, the cause of much'of -the sickness. Sheriff Flynn, of Madison county, formerly a citizen here, was prosecuted before the board of supervisors there recently for malfeasance in office or something of that nature. The whole matter grew out of a jesting remark made by the sheriff and the result was Mr. Flynn's acquittal. Edwin, son of A. DuaselL had a nar row escape from death Saturday. He was eating pork steak and accidentally swallowed a piece of bone about half an inch square which lodged in his throat Drs. Martyn 3c Schug were called and re moved the obstruction without much inconvenience to Mr. DuaselL We see by an Omaha paper that G. W. Weecott has traded a farm in Platte county to Charles Fahs for a lot on O street between 23d and 24th, South Omaha, and will build on the lot; also that Mrs. James O'Herne, who was not expected to live, is better and considered past danger by the family and friends. Columbus is showing some enter prise this spring and before snow falls she will have something to show for her energy. Already a windmill factory has been established, and steps are being taken to have the water of the Loup con ducted through a channel to the Platte river, thus making one of the best water powers in the state. Humphrey Re publican. The Pythian Light Guards have re ceived their neat new uniforms and present a very soldierly appearance in them. The suit comprises a bine coat with silver buttons and shoulder straps, black caps with white crown, and swords. The company are making creditable progress in drilling and expect to do themselves honor during the encamp ment next July. . , One of our sportsmen who works in a mill, we are credibly informed, went out hunting one bright morning last week, getting to the grounds just at sun up. He did shoot one duck and nothing more, but he didn't bring it home, be cause well, when he got up to it he found it was a tame duck, and of course he was hunting wild game. Hatfield can tell you the other particulars. A gentleman who has a tract of land adjoining the city limits, which will make a large number of lots is talking about putting them on the market at once. If he does, here will be an excel lent opportunity offered for investment Of course, while he will thus be making a large Bum over his investment tne sale of the greater portion of the prop erty will leave the present worth of all of it to him. The Baptist people of Platte Center and vicinity are about to build a Baptist church in that town on a beautiful lot just purchased. They will, Providence permitting, have a kind of corner stone laying service on Sunday, March 31st 1889, at 3 p. m. on the spot, and every body is cordially invited and especially the Baptist people. Several American and German Baptist ministers are ex pected to officiate. Thomas Thomazin, one of the oldest settlers in Platte county, was very agreeably surprised at his home near Lindsay on Monday of last week. The occasion was his 63d birthday. About sixty of his neighbors and friends gath ered with well filled baskets and pro ceeded to make the occasion a pleasant one for Mr. Thomazin. Before taking their departure they presented him with a handsome easy chair. Along side a paragraph in which it is stated that "Duncan .Clark's female minstrels were quite as orderly as the audience," the Schuyler .Herald says: "The Herald is informed that a 'peep committee,' composed of about a dozen ladies, was stationed in the near ad jacency to the opera house entrance hut Wednesday evening, supposedly for the purpose of ascertaining who patronized the show. What use they could make of such knowledge does not appear.'' About fifteen members of the Uni formed Bank, Knights of Pythias of this place under command of Maj. Will B. Dale went to David- City last Wednes day to assist in instituting a division there. Upon arriving they were escort ed to the hall where the ceremonies took place. Twenty-five members were installed. The Knights returned home in the evening and speak in the highest praise of the courteous way in which they were treated by the people of David City. The city of Columbus is taking a fresh start, and from this day forward let every man, woman aad child think and work aad talk for the good of the town. While all are working for the general welfare, improvements will be made aad appreciated and the city will ham forward at a rapid rate. Columbus is juntas good as any other place of ita sise in the world, and a great deal far ther akmg m evecythmg that amkes for. the welfare of people than very many PKKSOXAL.

Thieves Eater Arnold's Jewelry Store is Broad Daylight aad Make a Big Haal. At a few minutes past six yesterday evening a man or two men broke into Arnold's jowelry store at the transom of a rear door, during the absence at sup per of Mr. Arnold and his help, and stole twelve gold and several silver watches, a number of valuable neck chains, sev eral gold finger rings, with costly set tings. No clue to the thieves, as we go to press, but shot-guns will be in order in the stores of this city. The loss will be near $1,000. Among the notable lectures to which it has been the privilege of the people of North Bend to listen during the past winter, none have equaled the one given Thursday evening of last week, by Bev. Willard Scott of Omaha. As a lecturer, Bev. Scott is a success. He is what might be justly called a genius in hand ling a subject He knows how to man age it so that it will show off to best ad vantage. He knowB how to turn it around always keeping a pleasant side toward his audience. He understands the art of giving it the pleasant touches that are needed to capture his audience. He not only gives his audience "funny fun," which they enjoyed, but he left with them thoughts that will prove of permanent value to them in the future. We would say to Bev. Scott that if he ever comes here again to lecture, he can be sure of North Bend's best and largest audience. North Bend Flail. There are, say, twelve commercial travelers who make this city their homes and the homes of their families. We will say they spend here an average of $80 a month. This makes a total of $720 a month and a yearly total of $8640, quite a nice lit tle sum for distribution among local dealers. This showing can easily be doubled, perhaps trebled in the next year by an effort on the part of our business men. Let us all turn in and help the men who are here by giving them, at least part of the orders we place in their line, and thus encourage them, which would be best of evidence that others who might locate would re ceive the same lrihd treatment Just as we go to press, 8 p. m. Tues day, Dr. Schug tells us that he had a dispatch to come to Oconee with surgi cal utmmeats, that a man had had his taftoaiaaatkvatot; Ho At Beat John Rickly, the subject of this sketch, bora in Buetxberg, Canton Bern, Switzerland, March 19th, 1815, and was one of a family of eighteen children. In 1834 he came to Franklin Cot, Ohio, and in 1838 moved to Columbus, marry ing on the 22d "of February that year. Miss Katharine Hendri, by whom he had five children, Mrs. Mary Becher, John J. Rickly, Mrs. Katharine Toncray, j UTra. Carolina Dal and Elizabeth Rick- i ly, the latter and Mrs. Mrs. Toncray now deceased. In 1856, with his family he removed to the then territory of Nebras ka and settled in this city. His first wife having died, on the 1st of August, 1849, Mr. Rickly married Miss Caroline Bauer. Their children are W. T. Rickly, Mrs. O. H. Archer, Chas. Bickly, Mrs. G. W. Burke, Albert Bickly, Mrs. Jacob Wagner, Augustus Bickly and Samuel Bickly, all of whom except Augustus survive their father. Mr. Bickly was president of the Col umbus Town Co., organized August 30, 18T), and we believe kept it alive to the day of' his death. During the earlier years of this young city, he was very ac tive in everything that pertained to its welfare and withal very vigilant against the schemes of other communities to in jure the future prospects of Columbus. A strict partisan, politically, not alone in Ohio where at its capital city, he was prominent in the democratic councils, but here 'also he was time and again honored by his fellows as a leader. Time and again 'he had been elected to the City Council and had been its President, arepresentative-elect to the territorial legislature, a candidate for legislative honors several times, and in 1856 he was a delegate to the national convention at Cincinnati, which nominated Buchan an for the presidency. He was a demo crat, wiuiout any reservations or con cessions of any kind, and adhered strict ly toparty lines, not allowing them, however, to at all interfere with his per sonal .friendships. He was very pro nounced in liis likes and dislikes, and unusually liberal in his estimate of his fellow-men- Plain and unassuming him self, he hated every species of cant and hypocrisy, but was a firm admirer of men of intellect and worth, whatever their beliefs, religions or political. He evidently wished to regard men in the light of their actual worth in character, and not in the light of their professions merely. He had for years been troubled with asthma and rheumatism, and at times, notably in 1881, had been very seriously ill. His fatal sickness was contracted the Thursday night before his death and he suffered a great deal, being more or less unconscious, however. A few mo ments before bis death he was walking around in his room, supported by two of nissons. He had often expressed a wish to die before he should become helpless by old age or sickness, and during his lust illness said he was ready to go. No word can assuage the grief of the children at the departure to the spirit world of a loving and indulgent father, but they have the assurance of meeting father and mother in the Summer Land. Peace to his memory. Wholesale. There is no place in the state, outside of Omaha and Lincoln, perhaps, (and they are no better), that is more favora bly located for wholesale trade than is Columbus. This can be demonstrated by arly good man of means, energy, and knowledge of the business who will come nere'and engage in selling groceries in bulk. Whatever may be said of other lines of business as ventures here, there is; in the nature of the situation, no doubt f as io groceries. 'Fremont has had a wholesale grocery for years 'and has had a very large share of the trade of this place all that time. We say nothing against their dealers; personally we know them and like them, andtliat's all right, but it is not good business policy for Columbus to allow this condition of affairs to continue. We can help it and we ought to help it. Every such house established here would be a help to all of us. About eight years ago Columbus had her territory for trade cutoff all around, and she was then not much larger than Oakdale. Did the people of that town from the laborer to the heavy merchant vote prohibition on themselves, saying "the town is dead and well bury it this time?" No. They paid no attention to such experiments bnt every one of them stuck to their knitting. They had then more vacant speculator and railroad land around them than Oakdale has now. Now every acre of it is under cultivation and 'Columbus is a thriving town of about 3,000 people. Oakdale can do the same thing for herself; have every sur rounding acre under cultivation and be a live town, if we can once knock this blight off us. Oakdale Pen and Plow. A man giving his name as John Crook (a very suggestive alias) traded horses with our citizen, J. P. Abts, one day last week, receiving $15 in good money to even up the exchange. The next day or so, a man from David City came over and convinced Mr. Abts that the horse belonged to him, and so Mr. Abts sent Sheriff Bloedorn after "Crook." Within eight miles of Central City the sheriff found Mr. Abts's horse but no "Crook." His proper name is John Vy byral. Mr. Abts has some $20 worth of experience. ' Stolea Jewelry Recovered. One of the -Falls City jewelry thieves arrested here some time ago, and who was sentenced to three years in the pen itentiary, confessed to hiding the stolen goods in a shed in IL Hughes's lumber yard, and gave minute directions for finding it The Bheriff who had him in charge telegraphed to the jewelry man at Tails City, who came up here last week and found the articles in the place indicated by the prisoner.
