He and all the remainder of the com
mitteemen are putting in their "beet

future of Columbus is beyond perad
venture. The next three years would see
the population doubled easy enough and
land and lot prices greatly advanced.
Every present property owner is inter
ested. A heavy rain here Saturday after
noon made the streets muddy, and was
a very successful sequel to .the noon
shower of the same day. The soil got a
good soaking, and the air was purified

freely.
Columbus now has about five miles

John Haney, one of Platte county's
staunchest farmers, gave this office a
very pleasant call Thursday. He says
the hail of the previous Friday, falling
in a narrow streak in his neighborhood,
had cut off considerable of the corn to
the ground, but it was coming out all
right again.
A gentleman about to engage in
business in this city tells us that he be
lieves in advertising; he has had occasion
to know the value ot printer's ink and
he believes in it. The amount thus ju
diciously spent brings more revenue
than the same amount spent for any
other kind of help.
Nobody yet knows that this section
is underlaid with coal or that the drill
could bore down to a gas or oil reservoir,
but we know that Columbus has as good
an opportunitx.as could be asked for to
construct a water power that would
bring us hundreds of manufacturing en
terprises. Build the canal.
Mr. J. H. Reed's lecture Monday
evening on Ireland was exceedingly in

for the benefit of our readers.

$500. Sept 30 to Oct 5.
The first number of the Platte Co.
Sentinel, so Mr. Bixby tells us, will
probably be issued next week. The office
is located in the basement of the Com
mercial Bank. The establishment adds
one more to the. manufacturing indus
tries of the city, and we have no doubt
that the new paper will do its share to
build up the city and county.
We hear that it is likely Butler
county will bridge the south chancsl of
the Platte. If so, our facilities for lousi
ness intercourse will be complete, the
main streams being spanned by splendid
solid bridges. There is nothing now
lacking to build Columbus to a first
class "inland" city of Nebraska, so to
speak, except that water power.
We hear of the following possible
candidates for sheriff: D. C. Kavanaagh,
J. a Caldwell, Geo. Thotnasin, Charles

The Pythian Spur of Omaha ia do
ing good work ia jogging the memory of
the people of the state as to the encamp
ment After publishing the leading
features, it says: "let every one remem
ber that the dates, July 1 to 8 inclusive,

tacle seen in the state and the largest
week of entertainment ever afforded by
any city."
Flax is one of the very best paying
products of Nebraska farms, even for
just the growing of seed which brought
here on last fall's market from 85 cents
to $1.10 a bushel. It is selling here now
for seed at $1.70 to $1.75. It is claimed
that the new process of retting the flax
will make the industry still more profit
able, because it will create a great de
mand for the straw.
You have bridged the Loup. Now
dam it if necessary, and make it build
this city into magnificent proportions.
It can be done. Just say it must be
done, and it will be done, .because when
men have concluded upon a thing that
is practicable and within their means,
the battle is half done, and the rest be
comes easy. Columbus has every in
ducement to go -forward in this work.
James P. Borowiak was in the city
last week and made arrangements to go
into business here about the first of
July. He had before leased the store
room in The Journal block for the year
beginning the first of November next
but believing it to their advantage, they
secured the room from July 1st The
Cheap Cash Store will consolidate their
stocks and use but one room the old
Gluck stand.
One of our respected citizens who
made the trip to Grand Island had a
little bit of interesting experience that
was amusing to his acquaintances at
least On one of the trips around town,
he held a man on his lap who afterward,
in company of an officer, pointed out our
tat friend as the man who had picked
his pockets of $9.00. Of course the man
li was mistaken, but he was too drunk
to know who robbed him.
Rev. A. Henrich passed through the
city Monday to his home at Platte Cen
ter, from his Sunday's appointments in
Saunders county. He tells us that he
saw quite a number of fields, some of
them as much as forty acres, planted to
beans. Near Fremont there are large
fields of hemp growing. One of our
Platte county farmers, last year on
breaking planted one acre of white
beans and raised 12 bushels which
brought $24.
Mr. A. L. Bixby tells us that he
hopes to issue the first number of the
Sentinel next week, Friday. Some of
the material ordered was missent to St
Paul, and has not yet shown up here.
Mr. Bixby is a lively, interesting writer,
pungent and witty and will make a
very readable paper. Platte county
and Columbus will have one more un
tiring worker for their interests, and
The Journal hopes that the new en
terprise may prosper and flourish.
The Brigade Encampment Uniform
Rank Knights of Pythias, of Nebraska,
will be held at Columbus July 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, and 8. $1,000 in prizes are offered.

pared for each day. Everybody is in
vited to come. Camp is located high
and dry, beautifully lighted and well
supplied with pure water. Railroad
rates will be one fare for the round trip.
For further information, address Will B.
Dale, secretary encampment committee,
Columbus, Neb.
The Saengerfest at Grand Island
was a big success in every way. Fifty
seven tickets were sold here, and four
teen active singers of the Columbus
Maennerchor took part in the two num
bers rendered by our singers "Schiffers
Traum" and " Waldnacht" The Maen
nerchor sustained the high reputation
they had already acquired as a society.
Everybody extols the manner in which
Grand Island citizens entertained their
guests, Mr. Pohl remarking that men
could not possibly do better. The oc
casion probably cost Grand Island
$3,000. The next Saengerfest will be at
Seward.

new series of readers was adopted the
new Franklin, new books to be exchang
ed even, for the old ones.
A correspondent to the Looking
Glass, speaking of the mounds of Ne
braska says: "Where the residence ot
Peter Walen now stands is a mound
which has the appearance, on one side,
of having been dug from the Looking
glass valley. Before 1878 and79 a large
quantity of this pottery was found there.
A gentleman, then living in this vicinity,
has several pieces that were perfect and
others that were nearly so. There were
bowls, cups, dishes with handles, re
sembling our sugar bowls, and various
other dishes. In 1878 the writer gather
ed a large quantity ot this pottery,
though not so perfect as those found
earlier, and has them in her possession,
except the finest ones, which were sent
east as curiosities, to friends there."
J. W. Witchey gave us a pleasant
call Thursday, renewing his subscription
to The Journal, adding the Nebraska
Family Journal to his list of papers.
Mr. W. brought into town for shipment
over the B. k M. to his faithful commis
sion man, J. G. Hall of Chicago, his crop
ot wool about 1,600 pounds, the product
from 250 sheep, for which he was offered
here 20 cents a pound. This, John says,
was the first time, in a long while, that
he had found a contest here between
buyers. He wQl realize from his flock
this year about $600, one-half for wool
and one half for sheep, and the business
grows more and more in favor with him
each year. Asked as to his experience
in dehorning cattle, he speaks very high
ly in favor ot it and now wouldn't allow
the boms at all. There is no good
reason why the horns shouldn't be taken
off.

they were delayed several days on the
road by the high waters washing out
the track.
There was a report current last
week that Martin Swanson had commit
ted suicide, because E. A. Brodball or
Lindsay, bad contested his timber claim.
Not correct The following from the
Humphrey Democrat may account some
what for the origin or the report:
"William Anderson a brother-in-law of
Martin Swanson, accidentally shot and
killed himself last Sunday afternoon,
about eight miles southwest of here. He,
in company with two other young men,
was digging after a woir and had laid
the gun down on the grass and sumao
bushes while digging, and then thinking
dirt was getting into the barrel he
caught it near the end, drawing it to
him. The hammer caught in the bushes
and it was discharged, the entire charge
entering and tearing away one side or
his head. Coroner Caldwell impanelled
a jury Monday and held an inquest;
they rendered a verdict in. accordance
with the above facts. Anderson was the
son of the man who killed his wife and
threw her into a well in Boone county a
couple of years ago, and who is serving
a life term in the pen."

On an enterprise like that of the
water power from the Loup no grass
should be allowed to grow. Push it for
all there is in it, and let us get at it at
once. Life is uncertain, and those who
are now living may as well have some or
the benefits, at least or such an enter
prise. NOW is the time to work. We
have bridged the Loup and the Platte,
got waterworks, electric litjht anil street
railway, now let us do the thing that
will be or more benefit to us than all
these others put together and multiplied
by ten if it lie done right It we get
this water power Columbus will have
(even after the completion of the new
Flemming and Mr. Abts new brick
hotel) not hotel accommodations enough;
she will have room for new lines of
business, and for the increase of those
now here; for jobbing and wholesale
houses, because cheap water power
p.eans factories, and factories mean la-
l borers paid every week who spend their
money with merchants, grocers, trades
men of all kinds; for building dwelling
houses, etc. The rami and the factory
side by side make a combination that is
more solid than any other that can lie
imagined, for steady business, and good,
healthy, honest growth-
On Tnesday June 25, the well-known
F. J. Taylor's great American 25 cent
circus, World's Museum, Egyptian cara
van and European menagerie will spread
their sea or canvas for one day only.
Owing to the strict interstate commerce
law they have again returned to the old
way or traveling and have reduced their
price of admission to one half its former
price. A 25 cent ticket admits you to
both circus and menagerie. Everybody
can afford to attend at these low prices.
They do not allow any confidence gamus
to follow their show and Sir. Taylor is
always on the alert to protect his thous
ands or patrons. Their street parade,
one hair mile long, will take place at
12:30 p. m.; beautiful ladies, noble
knights in brilliant armor, towering
camels, dens and vans containing wild
animals, bands or music, blooded horses,
and many free outside attractions worth
coming miles to see. Let this be a gala
day for everybody. Remember the day
and be on hand early; the Lincoln daily
papers claim that the F. J. Taylor circus
is the beet one ring circus that has visit
ed there in years.
The Omaha Bee is a great newspa
per, and has helped to make Nebraska
and Omaha known to the world of busi
ness. Begun in 71 as an advertising
sheet for gratuitous distribution, it now
stands unexcelled by any paper in the
United States west or Chicago, for all
that makes a daily newspaper valuable.
The new building, formally opened to
day, is a very fitting hive for the Bees
that will continue to buzz for years to
come. Edward Rosewater, under whose
management the paper has been rrom
the start, is well known as a hard fight
er, but be is also one or the most indus
trious or men, capable or hard work
eighteen hours out or the twenty-four
for a stretch of time, and is thoroughly
well equipped for the line of journalism
which he marked out for himself and
has thus far pursued. The grand build
ing now occupied by the Bee shows that
while the stinger may have been active
occasionally against real or supposed
enemies, the honey-pouch has been
actively in demand all the time.

Ed. Journal: Assertions are not

will leave him to himself.
