It was no fault of Hopkins, the re
publican nominee for county clerk, that
the records of the county offices were
not ordered to be examined in order to
find where the leakages have occurred
the past ten years. As one of the coun
ty supervisors he has advocated this
since he was elected.

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.

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

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.

Rev. H. L. Powers k to lead the
prayer-meeting at the M. E. church to
morrow (Thursday) evening, and will
say a few farewell words to the congre
gation which he has so faithfully served
the past two years. 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. Heater of thk city, for
fire nurceanive years, has taken first
premiums at the state fair for exhibit
of honey and bee-keepers' supplies of all
kinds. The room occupied thk year
was 24x24 feet, and waa always crowded
with interested inquirers. There is, per
haps, bo lady in the United States more
thoroughly versed in the business, and,
whim it k profitable to her, she k alaq
doing a grand work for the people of the
state who are (more throqgh her efforts
than any other means) being educated
to know (be immease value of bees.

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.
