As one of the coun ty supervisors he has advocated this since he was elected. Bev. W. M. Worley, the new Metho dist minister, made a very favorable im pression upon his congregation last Sunday. He is earnest, sensible, candid, and evidences a very sincere desire to benefit his hearers. A gentleman from Schuyler, Mr. Worley's last charge, says "he always had a good sermon for his large congregation." District courtisinsession,begnining Monday, Judge A. M. Post, presiding. It is expected that court will be in ses sion about two weeks, as there are eighty-nine civil and three criminal cases on the docket. So far, the follow ing have been disposed of: Coolidge v. Davis Verdict and judgment for plt'ff, $18 and costs; estate of J. W. Early, de ceasedsale of real estate confirmed. E. A. Sage was in town Saturday shipping goods to his son, M. O., who has taken up a quarter section of land in old Cheyenne. E. A. tells us that himself and family recently enjoyed an outing at Knoxville, Marion county, Ia where he attended a fair, a reunion of his old regiment, the 40th Iowa, and a family reunion, at which, among others, was a brother he had not seen for thirty two years. The family of the Zinnecker Bros., father, mother, eight children and the grand-mother, arrived in the city last week and will make Nebraska their fu ture home. They now occupy the John Boutson property. There is nothing that can happen to Nebraskans which does them so much good as the accession of good citizens such as these are, for after all talking is done about fine houses, eta, it is good men and women that build up a country. We learn from a copy of the Grand Forks (Dak.) Plaindealer that Frank Walker, late of Humphrey, this county, and son of John Walker (ex-county commissioner) was appointed a collector of customs for North Dakota on the first of September and has received his com mission. Frank's many friends in this neck of woods will be pleased to hear of hk good fortune in having the best gov ernment on earth butter bis bread for the next four years at least. A gentlman from Monroe township who is well versed in county matters says that "Gus G.Becher's term of office has been the most satisfactory of any we have ever had; not saying anything in disparagement of former treasurers, ev erybody acquainted with the affairs of the office are aware that the books are better kept, and' with the least expense for clerical help, and systems of book keeping instituted that have saved the county considerable sums of money." Pat. Murray believes in raising corn,' and has no other kind of grain this year. He says that corn, also potatoes, is a good crop to raise on breaking, but ex plains that many persons fail because they do not plant right; corn and pota toes grow straight up and therefore should be planted so that the sprout will have loose soil immediately above, as may be secured by the stroke of an ax straight down, the planting of the seed, then the covering it over with the loosened soU. It seems that D. L. Bruen, who- is. making a canvass in Grand Prairie township for supervisor, had appointed a feast of ducks for last Thursday even ing. The feast came off, but it seems that some of the ducks which had been eaten (so our informant solemnly affirms) also took wings and came off, too, carry ins; Mr. Brnen's buggy and its contents over into Shell Creek township about a mile away, aad letting; the buggy down so hard that it was smashed into amith- We didn't get this troio Bruea. trBobart KuuMaer gave uw a very r4easaat visit a few minates Saturday iag he reeked ammy iasidwujof his trip to Europe whence he returned Saturday Ha was eleven days goine; over daya, aauaa houta returning, the ship Burgoyne having a crew of 964, 1,400 passengers, and using 960 tons of coal a day, the mgusst rtmtnnriri medein a day being 456, the lowest 417. Speak ing; of the recent storm at eea, which they did not encounter,, he. said that the evidences of destruction were numerous and that fifty vessels must have gone down. Of course he waa at the exposi tion at Paris and saw the Wild West and his old Columbus acquaintances, Fred MaUhewsand George Turner, whom he reports as well and who send, regards to all old friends here with no expectation of greeting them in person until 1802, as after leaving Paris, the calculation now is to go to Berlin, Vienna, London and home again. Mr. K. aays that at the first exhibit of the Wild West at Paris, the great crowds surged it to the grounds (about twenty acres) bearing down the gates before them. The aver age attendance, he judged,was 15fl00, and tickets were aold at 20 to 80 cents, the highest priced being taken tret. Every thing in the show ia intensely interest ing to Europeans, but their special won der ia the riding and aheoting. Fred toot Mr. KVall through the grounds. The show people live in teuta, excepting Cody, who lives in great style at a hotel ui the city. Out otthe 800 horses, Fred showed aeumher that had been purehas od here of Charlie afsreo and LuteNerth. Two of the Indiana returned to America with Mr. Kumtner, one having been hurt, aad the other, " Wounded' Bear, afflicted with consumption. Just now, the Wild West,ss a entertainment, is having a competitor in a Spanish bull fight, with two. exhibitions daily. The boys dont like France as well as Eng land, and aay they are grasping, greedy for money, perhaps made aoby the enor mous business of the' exposition which has already brought (so they acknowl edge) s27U,uua,uuu of foreign money, a great deal of it from America and a very large peraentage from the United States. As to the exhibit, America is not fitly jeproented except by Edison; our farm machinery is much better than Europe an, but Walter A. Wood is about the only representative. He thought it strange that there isn't a first-class ex hibit of American railways; there were refrigerator and freight cars, not a pas senger coach. Switzerland is well rep resented, taking the lead, he thought, in milling machinery, watches, organs, watch tools, surgical instruments, etc Like others he went up to the top of the Eiffel tower, the first arches of which are 300 feet from the ground. From the restaurant, about midway up, is the best view of the city. It is wonderful the number of people who go up in the tower. If you wish to ascend during any day, you must be there and in line early in the morning, as 400 to 500 people are in line all the time, and have to be watched over by soldiers to keep order. Stock in the tower is worth five times as much as it was last spring. Mr. Kumtner says that France is in a pecu liar situation politically. Garrisons of soldiers are kept moving about from place to place, remaining but a short time anywhere, so that they will not come under influence adverse to the gov ernment. The people of Europe are getting their eyes open to the many enormities of monarchical government, the enormous expense of standing armies and of the support of the families of the rulers, and the times are uneasy for crowned heads. Mr. Kummer left Switzerland when he was but four years old, and while he had forgotten every thing else, he was yet able to recognize the house in which he then lived. This was his first visit to his native land since then, and he gives a glowing account of it in every particular, which, besides prosperity in a business way, includes a determination to hold their government intact against encroachments from any quarter, and these are expected to come at any time almost. In a very short time she could equip and set in motion an army of 200,000 men. In one place he saw stored 56,000 magazine rifles, a gun wonderful for its execution. Switzer land has just ordered an investment of 18,000,000 francs in the most effective artillery, for the defense of her borders against other and larger. powers should they attempt to override the republic. The people of Switzerland are prosper ous, contented, and, as a rule, are exceed ingly well posted on United States af fairs and take a lively interest in our welfare. Agriculturists there receive good prices for their products, and the present prices of live stock would, if it was Nebraska, have millions in it old cows that wouldnt bring more than f L50 here selling for 98.40 a hundred, and fat hogs bringing S1L40 a hundred. Mr. Kummer says he had a very pleas ant time while he waa gone, but was pleased because he had engaged pass age home, as first-class passage to America cannot now be secured until after November 1st. James B. Smith gave us a pleasant call Wednesday and renewed- hk sub scription. They have about 300 acres under the. plow and thk year raised wheat, oats, coin and barley wheat, only seven acres and a half, but 26 bnahek to the acre of the White Russian variety. The aesd was obtained at Mar blehead. Oata ia a good crop and so is corn, but the latter would have been better if there had beetia little more rain the first of August We asked Mr. a in regard to hk wheat and be said it was a good variety to begin with. It was put in on corn ground, the stairs being dis posed of by a stalk-cutter, the eeed sown and covered with a cultivator.

Mr. and Mrs. S. & Case of St Edward were in the city last week attending the fair and enjoying a visit with their daughter, Mrs. J. N. Heater. Thos. L.

Mrs. Mary Becher and daughter, Miss Stella, left yesterday for Omaha, where they will make their future home. Their many friends are sorry to see them go. Miss Adams who has been visiting here for several months, left yesterday for her home, accompanied as far as Omaha by her sister, Mrs. R H. Henry. H. D. Shaff of the State Reform school at Kearney was in the city several days the past week. We hear that he makes a very successful teacher, and he says he likes the position. -". S. Murdoch spent several days of last week at Sioux City, and describes the corn palace as a magnificent struct ure, all covered with corn, the ears split in two and glued to the building. Rev. O. V. Rice and family started Saturday for Tabor, Iowa, where they will make their future home. They will stop a few days in David City to visit Columbus loses an estimable family, and their many friends here wish them wel fare wherever they go. A Good Scheme. Colnmbns has an opportunity now to increase her trade and add to her im portance as a city and thereby greatly increase in value every lot and piece of land within a radius of twenty miles, by the construction of a narrow-gauge rail road, say north ten miles, northeast and southwest ten miles, along each line for the present aud provide for an exten sion of the same when business will de mand it, also for other lines radiating from here. The project k perfectly practicable, and k within the easy reach of Colnmbns capital to accomplish in the next ninety days. Bight of way could be readily obtained on the public roads and bridges, the line equipped with en gines, coaches and freight cars, the latter of sufficient capacity for anything that might be offered for transit except cattle, which are readily driven to market In stead of taking a day's time of the farm team to do a little marketing, the good wife could have herself with the basket of butter and eggs, taken a mile or two, or less, to the track, and for a few pennies come to town pleasantly in any weather, and have all the more time for shopping, returning home in good time, too. Spurs can be put in at points along the lines where most convenient so that farmers can load on grain, hogs, or vegetables in quantity, or receive lumber, coal, etc. A gentleman stands ready to put him self under bond to complete such a road and have it running within sixty days after a consideration k agreed upon. The Journal regards it as one of the very beet propositions ever thought of by Columbus people and hopes to see the lines built The Uaiea Pacilr. Columbus k to be again congratulated because of what k to be done by the railroad company. Of course they are working for their own interests, but it so happens that Columbus will, at the same time, be greatly benefited. Supt Besse guie and Assistant Supt Touhey were here but Friday and Saturday looking after matters, and we understand that the freight depot will be removed to a more convenient place in the eastern part of the city, perhaps near the packing-house; that additional trackage will be bud; that we are to have a much larger round-house, besides a repair shop. When the freight depot k removed Ne braska Avenue will be opened and make one of the very best cross-streets in the city. These changes have been advisable for quite a while back, and will be mu tually advantageous to the company and thk city. Columbus k now one of the best rail road centers in the state, a most excel lent point for wholesale business and also as a residence place for traveling salesmen. W. H. Curran of Omaha has been here aeveral days and stopped the leaks on about a dozen houses covered with tin roofs. He first hunts over the roof for any opening, large or small, puts over it a patch of canvass, covers thk with a cement of hk own preparation, then paints the whole roof with what appears, so far, to be an excellent paint He came recommended by trusty con tractors of Omaha, and Thk Journal feete like commending him because we think he k the only man who has done anything like good work here on leaky tin roof. selected to the republi can eounty convention aet at Fftzpat riak's hall, September 28th, 2 p. bjl, aud were celled to order by W.

Then followed the nomination, by ac clamation and unanimously, of Gus. G. Becher for treasurer, Martin C. Bloedorn for sheriff, H. J. Hudson for judge, L. J. Cramer for superintendent of public in struction. Thk was a well-merited en dorsement of the official course of these gentlemen, who are now the incumbents of the offices to which they are re-nominated; all responded to call with short speeches befitting the occasion. The nomination of Dr. Hart of Hum phrey for coroner and of Burt Arnold for surveyor completed the lkt of nomi nations, making a ticket which, all things considered, k the strongest ever nominated in Platte county.

He certainly has shown a remarkable faculty, especially during the past year, unusual executive ability, we should say, in organizing church work, interesting members in special lines of work and helping them along in everyway in hk power; generous- hearted, liberal-minded, earnest and active; getting acquainted with every body and manifesting a lively interest in their welfare; always urgently invit ing them to hk church (if they had not other preference), he made many friends and nearly always had crowded houses to hear him preach. From a member ship of thirty-two, the church has risen to ninety-six, with no note of discord, and a unanimous petition to conference for hk return. He and hk family go to their new home at Grand Island thk week with the good wishes of our entire community for their future welfare, Mrs. J. N.

Whenever I see scraps of newspapers floating in the breeze and whirling around a street corner I think what a blessing k a printing press. When there waa but one paper published in America, I can imagine how that must have been appreckted by the reading public. It has been said that the pen k more pow erful than the sword. Indeed it seems so, comparing this day with the begin ning of the seventeenth century. What a wonderful development in literature! Instead of one newspaper there are thousands and millions of copies in cir culation. There are many useful hints and suggestions in the columns of the newspaper that would be profitable to remember and should not be thrown away. But some one will say, how can we save all the papers; they are a nui sance lying around. Well, if you have no place for them you might paste the most important articles in a scrap-book. You would be astonished to find how much valuable information you could collect in a year's time. No sensible person would take a good book from his library and throw it into the fire. He wonld think of the money spent for that same book, and a yearly subscription for a newspaper k far too expensive to be cremated or otherwise destroyed. As the women mostly take charge of the papers, I would say: don't be in too great haste in using them up. I know they are convenient to adorn your pan try shelves and very handy to kindle the fire. Whatever you do don't make the sad mktake of destroying the latest copy, for it k extremely trying to have the lord of the household rummaging about in your bureau drawers in the vain attempt to find that missing paper and very likely accuse every member of the family for meddling with it Lastly, if yon have no other way of disposing of old papers, better give them to your friends and neighbors. In thk way yon will be doubly blessed. Aunt Rum. COLUMBUS MARKETS. aVOur quotation of the market areobtained Tuesday afternoon, aad are correct aad reliable at the time. OBAIM.KTO.
