The farmers are farther along with

We learn that Sheriff Bloedorn has
concluded that he will not serve any
more papers unless his fees are advanced
to him. There is no doubt but officers
have lost a great deal of time and money
too by waiting for their pay. "No pay,

debts. If this system could be made
general all around this world would be a
pay-as-you-go planet.
The graders will be at work this
week on the railroad between Yankton
and Norfolk. All necessary arrange
ments for the completion of the ten-mile
gap have been made. And thus another
link is added to the chain which binds
Columbus to North Nebraska and Da
kota. Every little helps, and one of
these days, when Columbwa takes a start
with wholesale howass, this will he erne
of the best distributing points in the
west.

A committee composed of J. E.
North, G. G. Bowman, D. F. Davis, W.
B. Dale and Carl Kramer, went to Oma
ha last week to secure reduced rates
from the railroads for visitors to the K.
of P. encampment here Julyl-S. We
learn that they were successful in se
curing half-fare rates. This puts the
encampment on an equality with all the
other public gatherings so far announced
in the state, and the railroad companies
are to be commended for their conces
sions. 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, and 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
Volume 1. No. 1 of the Monroe
Looking Glass has reached our table.
It is a twenty column paper, more than
usually well written by the editor, E. A.
Gerrard, and in fair shape typograph
ically. We notice that Columbus heads
the list in the way of advertising patron
age, showing that our business men are
not insensible to the claims of the new
town and the new paper, to recognition.
Long may the Looking Glass hang on
the wall of the journalistic household to
reflect the interests of the good com
munity of which it is so bright an ex
ponent. James Salmon has the contract for
erecting a two-story frame building to
be veneered with brick, on the site of
the Hammond House on the corner of
Olive and 12th street. The house-is to
be 66x76 feet and to be completed within
the next ninety days. The Joukxal
mentioned last week that this valuable
piece of real estate had been purchased
by R Brandt Everybody here is glad
to know that the new structure is to be
put up and the building occupied. The
site has long been regarded as one of the
very best in the city. We hear that the
building will be used for a restaurant,
and a hotel on the European plan.
Going to press Tuesday we cannot
give the result of the bond election at
Norfolk, the 23d. The proposition, if
accepted and acted upon will complete a
line of railroad from Columbus to Yank
ton direct. Heretofore, the way to get
to Yankton has been via Omaha and
Sioux City, a long-about route of course,
Omaha being 92 miles east of us, while
Yankton, the objective point, is a hun
dred miles due north. In the near fu
ture, now, all these railroad links are
destined to count for Columbus, in car
rying her manufactured goods and
wholesale articles to all directions of the
compass, and we cannot be indifferent to
the course of events around us.
The proceeds of the entertainment
g""f" " M "F! rwnrrh last, Thursday I
evening by the Sunday Rfhtml, and of
the collection taken at the song service
Sunday evening, being about $21 In all
are to be devoted to porchasuig ixmks
of song for the congregation. S oiday
school areolars, great and small, seldom
do better than they did these two even
ings. Some of the pieces spoken were
remarkable for newness of thought as
well as for clearness of utterance. The
eaaay on Faster by Mrs. O. D. Butler,
was especially worthy of mention. We
learn that to Mia. F. C Green, Superin
tendent of the school and to her corps of
who ably assisted her, the sue
of the occasion is due.
Platte county can boast of some
literary men in her midst. Our well

The cattle market last week showed
a considerable downward tendency owing,
so all observers agree, to the fact that
that the rise in price had brought a con
tinued and increasing stream of cattle to
market. We give the account of Fri
day's market, from the Drovers' Jour
nal: "Including the number carried
over from yesterday there were about an
average number on sale. The fresh re
ceipts numbered fifty-five loads, about
1400 head, as compared with 1,338 head
yesterday, and 2,014 head on last Friday.
Beports from other markets show a cor
responding decrease in the supply, and
while the markets are unsettled, yet val
ues on all grades compare favorably with
those prevailing on yesterday's market.
Speculators during the past few days
have not been purchasing very liberally,
owing to the demoralized state of the
trade.' Today, however, they began to
purchase more freely, and while not dis
posed to strengthen prices on anything,
the tone of the market was better than
it has been in several days. Butchers'
stock has been selling well as compared
with the market of beef cattle, prices on
choice lots having varied but little dur
ing the week. If the receipts are kept
in moderation, present prices will likely
be well sustained, or even improved
upon."
The Schuyler Quill of last Wednes-

The truth of the matter, as we kern
from Chief of Police McTeggart, w that
that the young men were found, not on
the depot platform, but after twelve
o'clock at night, near a box car west of
Olive street, and in the TJ. P. yard.
They were asked if they had money to
pay their hotel bill for the night and
they answered that they had, but when
they reached the Isffdell Hotel, they
then said that they had only 25 cents
which was not sufficient. They were
searched in the presence of Sheriff
Bloedorn. A watch (brass) and chain
valued at $3 or $4 were taken. They
were brought before Police Judge Cow
dery the next morning' on a charge of
vagrancy and fined a small sum, for the
payment of which and for the city's ex
pease to the county for the lodging and
breakfast at the jail, the watch and
chain are now held. The chief says he
ia sure that the boys themselves would
not deny any of these

of the local happenings
of city aad county. It is certainly very
creditable to its proprietor, D. F.Davis,
and The Jocktai. hopes that its shadow
mar never grow less bat more, and that
it may prove as it says "but a herald to
soand the approach of mightier powers
which come to develop the resources of
this fair corner of the earth.' The pro
prietor of the Telegram is thoughtfully
correct in saying that he "expects but
little finarrtal reward for his labors at
present; willing to labor for the good of
Columbus and look to her future des
tined greatness for the greater fruits of
his labors. The time for Columbus to
exert herself and take her proper position
among the leading cities of Nebraska is
at hand. The opportunity neglected,
she will have to wait for the slow turning
of the wheel of fortune for' another
chance as favorable as the present one."
Every newspaper enterprise that is
born of the spirit of progress, and with
the motive of improvement, has a right
to a place in this busy world of ours and
deserves not only the good words of the
community in which it lives, and for
which it gives its all of health and
strength and means, but it should have
that substantial, business support that
will place it on a solid footing and in
dicate to the world outside that the
community is alive to its own best in
terests. Again we say, success to the
f Telegram.
A Bed Xaa.
A great deal of the meanness of the
world is cloaked under the phrase, "do
mestic infelicity.'' Saturday last a lady
arrived in the city in search of her hus
band who had deserted her the first of
last January and gone off with another
woman, taking away considerable money
that rightly belonged to the first par
tnership. Mrs. A. Zelner was not a
woman to be trifled with, so, infrwd of
engaging detectives at a large salary to
hunt up the faithless husband and his
paramour, she started out herself.
Tracking them into Missouri, she learned
that the fickle-minded husband had de
serted the woman, and come to Nebraska.
Thus far she had been enabled to keep
track of the man through his having
been an agent for the White sewing
and his purchasing machines
from "the house. Learning
that Zelner had come to this section of
Nebraska, she came with a letter of in
troduction from Mr. Thornton of Omaha
to Sheriff Bloedorn. Columbus is al
ways a bad place for such men to come
to, because they generally get caught
here or hereabouts. Sunday Mrs. Zel
ner received a telegram saying that the
truant had been arrested and was now
at his old home, Dowagiac, Mich.; it did
not state further particulars. If suicide
was ever justifiable under any circum
stances, this man ought accidentally
fall into a deep river and drown himself,
in remorse for having lost as a fond,
loving wife, such a plucky, determined
and capable woman.
The so-called "bad lands" of Ne
braska have rapidly disappeared from
the maps of the country. It is coming
to be understood that the old-time es
timates of the capabilities of Nebraska
soUorJndeed. for that matter, of the
west in general, no longer hold good.
When the writer hereof .came to Ne
braska in 1870, he was told by several
old settlers that the table land north of
this city would not raise crops, but it
was even then producing a good quality
of wild grass, and crops have always
been good since ever the soil was broken.
There is, of course, in Nebraska as in
other states, land that is not good for
agricultural purposes, but the ratio of
untillable to tillable soil here is very
small, and less than in any other region
that we know of. Nebraska is, in fact,
an earthly paradise for farmers.
The entertainment Monday evening
given by Miss Mae North for the benefit
of the Episcopal church was in every
way a decided success. The Opera
House was crowded by an appreciative
audience. The Orchestra furnished two
selections which were very well render
ed. Miss North recited four numbers,
holding the closest attention of her au
dience from beginning to close of each.
The Mennerchor sang splendidly, as
they always do, again verifying the old
saying, as each number followed its
predecessor, that the last heard is al
ways the best. The quartette by Mes
dames Bowman and Evans and Messrs.
Pohl and Schroeder, with Mr. Bowman
as accompanist on the guitar, was very
pretty, indeed. Mesdames Chambers
and Evans charmed their audience, as
they always do.
