It will be a good thing if it should give us a long, steady, good fall of rain. Small grain-needs it. Now is the tune to invest in real estate in Columbus. A gradual rise is going on, and it will shortly take two dollars where it now takes one to buy a piece of property. A little more moisture would have been better for small grain not only in this state but others. Whenever dry weather prevails, insects are sure to in crease and thrive. A special car containing fifty-eight persons, thirty-eight of them being can didates for the Mystic Shrine, passed through the city Friday, from Kearney, bound for Omaha. A little daughter of Joseph Sinkula, four years old and living ten miles north east of Schuyler, met with a fearful ac cident Monday week by falling into a vessel of boiling water. James Pearsall has contract- for an elegant new front at Mr. Bhode's place; he also makes some alterations for Julius BasmusBen, at iris grocery store, which he will shortly open again. A woman with a dying child stayed all night at the U. P. depot one night last week. They had come without stop from New York state and were going to Cedar Bapids. We didn't learn the name. D. B. Duffy has established a repu tation in the business of house-moving. He has an abundance of good references as to his ability and responaibilty, and he guarantees his work. Address him at Schuyler.

They were but three years old, weighing 1340 pounds average, and Hans got for them very nearly the top of the market, $3.80. Miss Bird Dodds took the prize at the calico hop given by Kummer and O'Coner last Friday evening, as being the wearer of the neatest calico dress. Everybody enjoyed themselves and a "jolly good tame all round." is tBb report. At the M. E. church by the pastor, H. L. Powers, Sunday, June 2d, 1889, sermon 11 a. nu, topic "The Analogy be tween the Biver Jordan and Death." Sermon at 8 p. hl, "Song sermon,' assist ed by the choir. Sermon at 4 p. m. for the ladies only. Compliments to alL John Elliott had quite an exciting time last Saturday over a skeleton which was dug up on Thirteenth street. John seemed a little bit surprised,' but upon examination found it to be that of a cat. The reporter of the Telegram went over at request of telephone to see the cat. Hon. Loran Clark remarked the other day that he had seen Kearney's canal, and it is one of the best things in Nebraska, a great institution for any city in the state, with or without railroad facilities. Columbus should not delay one hour longer than necessary in se curing her canal. Gus Lockner of Omaha, in a busi ness letter to The Journal, states that his folks are all well and they hope to come to Columbus to help celebrate the Fourth this year. Their hosts of friends will be very glad to see them. Every thing indicates a large crowd here dur ing the encampment. The traveling grocer is abroad in the land taking orders. Of course he doubt less could do an honest business, but doubtless he icill not. Groceries are sold at such a small profit, as a rule, and so near a cash basis that there is very little room for a traveling grocer except he operates among people that he don't know or rather that don't know him. "Ingomar" treats us this week to another of his historic sketches. This one contains a reference to Traitor Kelley, who misrepresented Columbus in the legislature, when the capitol of the state was located. "Ingomar' de serves the thanks of our readers for these sketches of local history which but for him, would probably remain unwritten. S. C. Gray and Jacob Ernst shipped Monday, the former one hundred and sixty head of fat steers, the latter eighty head. Mr. Gray's averaged 1402 and Mr. Ernst s lot 1265. They were loaded at the Union Pacific stock yards in street stable cars, and wfll make the run to Chicago in twenty-six hours, feed and water being provided for them in the cars. We wondered how it was that Mar tin knew all about the running of those trains, but we see now, since the David City Press gives it away: "M. C. Bloe dorn, sheriff of Platte county, came over on the new Sioux City and Manhattan train Monday, expecting to get off at Bellwood, but the train ran through too fast, so he took the B. & M freight back to Bellwood." There went by our window just now a man of ordinary good sense, but the blinds on his horse's bridles were loose and napping against Iris eyes at every step. It is almost impossible to Tmagtn that the horse can longwear those things without spoiling his eye sight, and so the great inconvenience and loss can be, like most other great mishaps, directly laid to tlinnulitli' iimsa, inattention, care- indrifsrence.

Means of Grand Island shook hands with friendB here Wednesday. Mr. Means is president of a company interested in a large tract of land near Biverside, California. Loran Clark and F. M. Sackett of Albion passed through the city last week to and fro to Grand Island in the inter est of the Missouri Valley, North Platte and Western railroad. Mrs. Millard Hoag arrived last night from Nebraska to visit old friends in Carthage. She brought a fine baby with her which is the pride of grandpa Hoags heart Carthage (Mo.) Banner. Dick Heitsman of David City was in town Friday. Tears ago he was a small boy here (never so very small either), now he weighs 280 pounds, and was married Jan. 3d, 88, to Miss Mary Weigle of Shanksville, Pa. The teachers' meeting at Humphrey last Saturday was quite well attended, and good interest was shown. T e ex ercises were above the average. The music furnished by the young people was good and highly appreciated. Prof. Conch talked on fractions extempora neously, and Prof. Scott of Columbus delivered a well-prepared and well digested discourse on Language," which was very practical and instruc tive. Miss Clara Weaver of Columbus rendered the Schoolmaster's Dream in a pleasing manner. Mr. Carr and Mr. Dickenson debated the question of free text books in an interesting manner. Superintendent Cramer made a few re marks in regard to the teacherduty in connection with the county work and contemplated changes in the character of the teachers' meetings and county institute. The federal grand jury today made a voluminous report to Judge Dundy in which indictments were presented against Horace B. Chase, late superin tendent of the Indian school at Genoa. One indictment charges Chase with hav ing failed to keep a book of expendi tures and receipts. The other charges Chase with willfully presenting false and fraudulent claims while acting as super intendent of the Genoa Indian school. In this indictment there are twenty-one counts. By them Chase is arraigned as having defrauded the government out of f3B3B during the year 1888. Mr. Chase and his family are now in the city and Mr. Chase is out on bail, obtained soon after his arrest about a month ago. f Oniahn World, May 24. The P. L.

There was a nice crowd and everybody enjoyed themselves to their heart's content To say that they cov ered themselves with glory would not half express it Music was furnished by the Columbus Orchestra, and the calling by Wm. Bamsey. Taking the affair altogether it was "the event of the sea son." May they give anntfagr such pleasant gathering in the near future, is the wish of Tax Jouksal. Grand Fourth of July celebration of Platte county and central Nebraska to be held at Columbus. We are making arrangements to celebrated our nation's nentenmal natal day on a grand, scale, and ask the ritiaena of our neighboring towns to participate. We especially ask the citizens of Platte Center, Humphrev, Oconee, Lindeay,MonroeDunean, Corn lea, Bellwood, Newman Grove, Madison. Albion, Cedar Bapidu, and St. Edward to take part in our procession. For par ticulars apply to committee, Carl Kra mer chairman, Will B. Dale secretary. We have been asked to agitate the question of holding a celebration in Humphrey the "Tg Fourth. In view of the celebration which m to be held in Columbus this year, and the many at tractions which it wfll offer, and inas much as Columbus a the county reat of our county in which we aU take justi fiable pride it asesus but right tiat we should this year discard local celebra tions and unite in 1"lr"tg- As one at our capital city a success.

The sacrifices made in the home circle by the war, which meant a conscious giving up of loved ones for slaughter; separation from home and friends; long, tedious marches; privations, hunger and thirst; the loss of eyes, arms and limbs; crip ples for life; slaughter; prison life; The soldiers were our fathers, sons, brothers; they were America's sons of freedom. The motives which caused them to en list were pure country, home, the hag, law and peace. We should ever hold them in grateful remembrance because of their loyalty and unflinching bravery; because of their long, hard and painful sacrifices. The spirit in which the graves of the dead heroes should be decorated is that of awakened interest we, too, must soon sleep; a spirit of reverence they died for us; of gratitude they died to save the Union; of humanity they shared their last morsel with their com rades, on the march and in the prison pens; in a spirit of eternal fidelity. The large audience gave strictest at tention to the impassioned utterances of the speaker, and will long bear in mind the Memorial services of W. MORE GOOD HOUSES. Thrpe Solid Brick Strncrarw for Basi aem. Work is now progressing on three business houses fronting north on Thir teenth street; they are to be first a structure 28x90 feet adjoining Oehlrich Bros.' grocery, on the east to be built by this enterprising firm; second, a struc ture 50x90 feet for two stores to be 25x90 feet each the one on the corner of North and Thirteenth streets is to be used by Messrs. McDill & Borer as a hardware establishment the others have not yet been leased. The second structure or double store is owned by McDill, Borer and Sheldon. All the buildings are to be two stories, of solid brick wall, with basement the full size of each, and coated with as good brick as the Thurston or the Commer cial bank buildings, in the immediate vicinity. These buildings will add much to the appearance of that part of the city, and also greatly enhance the value of other business property on that street Nothing does The Joubsal more good than to record such items as these, because they are not only the solid evi dences of prosperity, they are a part and parcel of the prosperity. Let every man on every street do what he can to improve bis surround ings and better the town in which he lives, thus will Columbus soon become a city of ten thousand people. The Dally Trtegraa. The Daily Telegram has completed one month of its existence. One month in the life of a paper, and that the first one, does not establish the fact that it is bound to either succeed or faiL It has not in the present case, although its sus cess thus far has not fallen far below our expectations. It has been well received by the people of Columbus, and words of praise are heard on all aides. Its cir culation is constantly increasing, and the only complaint the publisher can make is the apathy of our business men in advertising. The Daily Telegram is bound to be an important factor in the development of Columbus. The city has all to gain by its continuance, and noth ing to lose. The burden of its support if all help, will fall heavily on none. It is as neat and newsy a paper as any daily in the state not metropolitan, and it guards with jealous eye, the welfare of its home city. Its publisher is anxious to make it all that it should be; regards its relations to the city as above politi cal or factional considerations, and will labor to succeed. We copy the above, head lines and all, from our cotemporary, and add that we believe every word of it is true. Tee Joubsax. had hoped to be the first to issue a daily, and we shall be more than gratified to know that the rime is fully at hand for the enterprise to prove a financial success. To the proprietors of Tax Jocbsal such demonstration is worth considerable, in more ways than one, but neither weekly nor daily papers can subsist without good advertising patronage. Is Columbus doing aU she can in that way? It is our candid opin ion, that the proprietor of the Telegram, in conducting the duly, is venturing more for the good of the city, according to his interests, than any of the rest of us.
