Fullerton has a ladies' cornet band of which any town might well be proud.

Jackson's house last Wednesday while his family were away visiting and ransacked the bureau drawers and tore the house upside down generally. Noth ing was missed but a pair of valuable pants. A good lunch is a hard thing to get in a large city, and harder still when traveling; but the dainty repast served Pullman sleeping car patrons in the buffet sleepers on the regular overland trains of the Union Pacific is greatly enjoyed. A "hobo" (tramp) on his way east the other day, told Jackson at the U. P. depot that California was "casting up accounts," that we would see in a short tuns the hardest horde of nondescripts coming this way that ever struck the place. Meet them on the border.

The enter prise is under the aaspices of the co operating synods of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of the four states, Colorado, Nebraska; Kansas and Mis souri, with an endowment of $100,000. The 12 years old son of August Smith, a farmer residing 4 miles north west of town, narrowly escaped being the victim of a horrible accident on Mon day. He was cutting corn stalks with a machine when the horses became fright ened and ran away, throwing the lad to one side. The team rah into a wire fence and was considerably scratched up. Argus. The 'Democrat's abuse of such men as Jonas Welch, Henry" Bickert and Jacob Tschudin, members of the county board of supervisors, because their hon est and disinterested action did not give the printing contracts to D. F. Davis, will not hurt these gentlemen in the estimation of the good people of the county, who know them well and ap preciate their worth. As a fair-minded business mas, competent to manage his own affairs and take a share in looking after public matters, Jonas Welch will very easily bear favorable comparison with D. Frank Davis. Jonas is known all over this section of country as a capable, upright man who attends strictly and well to whatever business he may have in hand, and that he has done so in this case, is doubtless what hurts Davis. At Platte Center April 13th the Teachers' Association will have a meet ing at which Edward Daniels will dis course on, "How to teach history," Miss Anna Luth on "Methods of discipline," George Ward on "Numbers," Miss Nellie Lynch on "Drawing." The debate on the abolition of recess will be by M. P. Hurd, Charles Brindley and Howard Rowe in the affirmative, and C. J. Wag ner, Byron Dieffenbach and M. J. Hogan in the negative. The name of the man mentioned in last week's Journal, who was injured at Oconee was John Johnson. He was out hunting, and thinking that 'game was near by, held his gun by-his side in readiness to shoot, when it struck a corn-stalk and was discharged, hitting him in the foot Dr. Schug was imme diately telegraphed for, and on examina tion, found that he would have to lose two of his toes. The amputation was performed and Johnson thinks himself lucky to come out as well as he did. At the annual town meeting in Co lumbus tp. a levy of two mills was voted for road purposes; two mills for bridge purposes, and three mills for general fund. A resolution passed by the town board at a meeting in Dec. last appro priating $200 in the construction of the Platte river bridge, was approved and the clerk ordered to issue a warrant in favor of the supervisor for the amount The clerk was also ordered to discon tinue publishing notices for a union caucus and paying for same out of the township funds. The Columbus Democrat has tried hard to say mean things about the re publicans of Platte county, and also con cerning The Journal, but we consider the following four lines 'about the low est (although probably not so meant), of the whole list we mean in classifying the Argus as a republican paper: "The Humphrey Republican is no more. This leaves the Columbus Journal and Platte Center Argus the sole exponents of republicanism in Platte county." This is certainly the "most unkindest cut of all." Martin Reagan, stopping at the Foote House Friday night, had occasion to get up. He walked out over a porch without railing, 'fell to the ground and broke a leg. He was taken to the hos pital. We are informed that Mr. Regan had been, the previous evening, under the influence of liquor. He says he thought he was at home and supposed that he was stepping outside his own door, instead of whichwhe stepped off a porch about eight feet high. It is a wonder his neck was not broken, in stead of his leg. Mrs. Chester Hill, an aged lady of 92, who resides in Pennsylvania, is quite feeble but in very fair health. She has been a remarkable woman and even up to her present age she is still working for herself, by knitting- stockings, mit tens, etc She has scarcely lost a meal all her lifetime and has enjoyed a quiet, christian life. She has lived to see the fifth generation and has nine living chil dren. With her great and great great grand children she has one hundred and ninety-nine in aU. Mrs. Mary Hill of this city ia her daughter-in-law. It will pay any person who is willing to spend $4.00 for a gate to examine the one at E. A. Gerrard's residence in the western part of the city. It can be readi ly opened and closed by the driver, without getting out of his vehicle or. down off his load of hay and raises over obstacles without additional power. Mr. Gerrard is a man of good inventive genius, as has been shown by several of his achievements in that line, aad need ing a gate of this kind for himself, he put his wits to work, and has the best we have seen for the purpose. 48tf Since our last issue State Sapt Geo. B. Lane has issued, through the dailies, under date of March 29th, a notice to school-district oeaceis and voters in Ne braska, stating that "by an act of the legislature with the eaiergency clause approved March , 18, the annual school district meeting will be held on the last Monday in June, 1889. The meeting called for Monday, April 1,1889, should be adjourned or not held. The regular business of the annual meeriag mast be transacted on the last Monday, of June, 1889."

Thursday evening last at about 6:15 Knights of Pythias of Occidental lodge No. 21 of this city to the number of forty-four, in company with Deputy Grand Chancellor Harry Merriam of Omaha, left here over the Union Pacific in a specially-decorated car for Fullerton for the purpose of instituting a new lodge at that place to be known as America lodge No. 114. Upon the arri val of the train there and while the' Knights were alighting, they were treat ed to some soul-stirring music by the Ladies' Silver Cornet Band, after which they proceeded in a body to the lodge room and commenced work, which was continued without intermission until midnight when the visitors were invited to cease hostilities and repair to the Gay hotel where they partook, with a keen relish, one of the most elegant and sumptuous repasts that could possibly be spread before them. Hon. Chauncey Wiltse, in choice, well-chosen words welcomed the visitors which was re sponded to on behalf of the Columbus Knights by Judge G. G. Bowman in his usually happy styla After all had par taken of the good things to their satis faction, Attorney -Critohfield took his station on the floor as master of ceremo nies, and called for responses to the fol lowing toasts: "Pythianism," Harry Mer riam; America lodge No. 114," J.

After which, work of instituting was resumed and continued until after daylight The new lodge starts out with a membership of some thirty odd of Fullerton's best citi zens aad there is no reason why it should not grow and become one of the very strongest in the state. The Columbus boys are load in praise of their treat meat at the hands of their neigh bors and hope, in a measure at least, to reeiprocate at some future time.

He will establish a mo lasses factory in the eastern part of the city this summer, where he will be pre pared to manufacture sorghum for all who desire it. C. H. Sheldon of your city passed this way again last Friday with more steers for his feed lots. It seems to me that Mr. S. does not propose to confine him self. to his easy chair, at the head of the Commercial bank, when ronnding up a bunch of fat steers affords such good exercise. At the school meeting last Monday a levy of 12 mills on the dollar was voted on the taxable property in the district for school purposes.
