A handsome silver set, neatly engraved, was the gift of neigh bors and friends. The following officers elect of the Columbus Division Uniform Rank K. of P. were installed Friday evening: W. A.

Roasiter, has been under the weather several days with a 'bad cold. He thought at first that he was about to have another such a siege with the grippe as he had had last winter, but it didn't turn out that way. B. J., familiarly known as "Bert" Brigge, a former Columbus lad, has re cently been elected a member of the legislature in Idaho. Columbus is thus making an impression on the great west, every once in a while soxie of her sons becoming prominent in public affairs. County Superintendent Cramer was out last week among the schools in the northwestern part of the county. A large number of our schools opened their terms the first of the month. The attendance of pupils is reported as in creasing in numbers. The work of the schools is improving. A postal card from a commission house in Salt Lake City informs us that in that market corn, sacked, per 100 lbs., is worth 81.00; oats, same 81.75; eggs per doz. 25c; good creamery butter 30c; dairy prints, 20c; firkin 10c; dressed chickens per lb. 10c; turkeys 14c; ducks 12c; geese 14c; quails per dozen 81.50.

Baker Post No. 9 G. A. R., at their regular meeting last Saturday evening, elected the following officers: Henry T. Spoerry, commander; R. L. Roasiter, senior vice commander; Wm. Rice, ju nior vice commander; John Tannahill, officer of the day; Peter Plant, officer of the guard; E. W. Borders, chaplain; J. R. Meagher, surgeon; J. B. Tscbudy, quartermaster. The tall, limbless stalks west of the Thurston house, near the curbstone are not telephone pole, as one man suggest ed, but trees. They are about twenty feet high, are trimmed very close, nnd to all appearances would not grow, but they cost Lehman $4 apiece and are guaranteed to grow. John Tannahill understands his business, and those naked poles will doubtless sprout in the spring. J. B. Gietzen while riding in his cart Sunday afternoon, and turning a corner on 13th street, was thrown out upon his head. The wheel struck a pro jecting root, and the cart being provided with strong springs, Mr. G. was bounced out like a rubber ball. For several hours he was unconscious, but later he recovered consciousness, and Dr. Martyn, who is attending him, pronounces him out of danger. It is thought by horticulturists that the Sand cherry, familiar to all western Nebraska, furnishes one of the hardiest and best stocks for grafting on or bud ding other cherries into. Prof. Budd, the great horticulturist of the Iowa agricultural college, makes favorable mention of it in a recent bulletin in this connection. It ought to give a hardy stock and one pre-eminently suitable for Nebraska. Nebraska Farmer. The boys of Nebraska who are ex pected to add to the wealth of Oxnard by raising sugar beets for him must re ceive a larger compensation than they did this season for their work, or they will not try it again. They are not to be readily deceived, either, by the thought that the last was not a pro ductive season. The aforesaid boys are able to see through a grindstone when it has a hole clear through the middle of it. From the secretary we are in re ceipt of the program of the Nebraska Dairymen's association, Pawnee City, Dec 16-18. We notice that on the list are four ladies, Mrs. J. C. Wood of Table Rock, "Care of milk and cream and mak ing of butter on the farm;" Miss Maud Hare and Miss Mina Griffith, recitations; Mrs. Lydia Butler, Pawnee, "The farm as a home;" J. Y. Sawyer of Chicago ex patiates upon the hand cream separator. The very cold smap has found a goodly number of people not very well provided for winter. When one gets to studying about it, and it has never tak en more than a half minute's thought, it seems one of the very strangest things in the world that the people of these United states don't own and operate railroads enough to secure the transpor tation of fuel, at such a cost as would make it plentiful and cheap everywhere, and at the same time give owners of coal beds a chance to utilize their property, and give employment to thousands of men in need of same. How long! A patron of the schools the other day said that his children were being taught to say cawf instead of calf, lawf instead of laugh, "th" instead of "the," awnt instead of aunt, hawf instead of half, and so on clear through the chap ter. He supposes that, being tar.?ht, it is doubtless all right, but it is enough to make an old-fashioned cawf lawf to hear the innovation in all the fullness of its completeness, so to speak, as it were. He says it is "lawfable" that such pro nunciation should be taught, and yet the teachers themselves not practice their own teaching. There is a wonderful amount of in ventive genius abroad in Nebraska, and other towns besides Columbus are fa vored. The Schuyler Herald says: "Mr. George Beck of our city has just com pleted a model for a safety boat, upon which he has applied for a patent. The principal features of this novel boat are, airtight compartments, of which there are four, and the method of propelling the boat by means of a single paddle wheel placed in the center of the boat. The manner of constructing the boat is such that it will be impossible to up- amoT it in tra rirrnBr aaas " PERSONAL. E. von Bergen passed Sunday at Hum phrey.

Dieffenbach, clerk at the Industrial school at Genoa, was iu the city yes terday. John G. Pollock of Beatrice, and G. Bowman now of Omaha were in the city Monday. Frank North made Fremont a visit last week. There must be some attrac tion there. H. H. Hake of Norfolk, a former resi dent of this city, was a Columbus visitor Saturday. J. C. Martin, superintendent of public instruction of Merrick county, was in the city Monday. Mrs. L. A. Nelson of Chicago, sister of Mrs. T. B. Van Alstine, arrived in the city Saturday evening. N. D.

Jenkins of Kalamazoo was in the city Wednesday on his return from South Omaha, to which market he had taken a car load each of cattle and hogs. G. W. Brown, esq., of Cedar Rapids, Boone county, was a Columbus visitor Wednesday. He walks with a cane, not having yet wholly recovered from the injury to his ankle. From Seattle we are in receipt of a card printed in memory of Mrs. Celeste Fifield, a former resident of this city who died several weeks since at Fremont, but who for many years past had been u resident of Seattle. Her lady associates of the First Unitarian church of that city 6peak very highly of her life and work there. She was one of the orga nizers of the church; a trustee; an officer of the women's auxiliary; a teacher in the Sunday school. The ladies say that with Mrs. Fifield "the cause of a rational, yet reverent Christianity, was not a name merely but a stroug and vital force. ' The kind and appreciative words of these ladies will find an echo in the hearts of all Mrs. Fifield's friends here who know how earnest and vigorons she was as a teacher in our schools, and how lasting her influence upon the pupils under her care. The editor of the Iowa Homestead is personally known to many of our readers, and into the publication over which he presides he has the faculty of getting more of practical worth to the square inch of white paper, than any similar publication we know of. Life is too short, and the demands of our west ern farm life are too many and urgent to waste time reading eastern farm period icals mainly taken up with something appropriate only to their own locality. See the proposition elsewhere of the Homestead Co., and if you don t wish to bother sending for their paper, call at this office, and we will take your sub scription, along with that of The Jour sal, both papers, when paid one year in advance, for 82.75. tf E. D. Fitzpatrick, the Thirteenth street stationer who has built up a splen did business, will soon put an addition to the rear end of his establishment for a store room, and also a work shop. We believe that no man in the country has a greater knack for toys, and think that if he would give his inventive genius full swing, he could produce something in that lino that would tend to gladden the hearts of the youngsters for genera tions. Some of his pictures of moving ships, workmen, trains, etc., would have rented for ten or twenty dollars, a month in a city store. Some men have made a fortune by an inventive genius not nearly so bright as Fitzpatrick's. The young folks of the Bible class are preparing an entertainment to be given at the opera house on the evening of Dec 22d, the proceeds to be in charge of the school board and to be used for furnishing necessary clothing to poor children, who for lack of it, have not been able to attend school. The object is a very commendable one, praiseworthy to the last degree, the entertainment will doubtless be most excellent, and everybody who has money to 6pare should be present and thus assist those whose hearts have been touched to help those whom misfortune has left unable to help themselves. "A friend in time of need is a friend indeed." Card of Thank. The undersigned desire to tender their heartfelt thanks to friends and neighbors for their many kindnesses during the last illness of husband and father. Mrs. T. B. VanAlstise Children.

Becher & Co. 29-6 Saturday the suit of Agnes Slawins ki against John Graf and McDonald Bros, was settled by the payment of 8700 to Mrs. Slawinski. She had brought suit against the defendants al leging 85,000 damages for selling liquor to her husband, and through which was alleged he had lost his life. Without the knowledge of her attorney Mrs. Slawinski had ac cepted 8300 as n settlement of the claim, bnt opposition was made by tha attorney and the settlement set aside. It is presumed that the settle ment of Saturday ends the case so far as the courts are concerned. Wanted.

V.xAl.STINE Thursday, Decern lier 4th, after an illness of eilit da;s, of lun fever, Thomas II. VanAIstine. Mr. VanAlstine was born nt Monroe, N. Y., Dec. Mh, ISIS. Whvn about three jears of ace his family moved to Canada. Here he passed his youth, and here he was married to Miss Maria Melvin. In 184, they removed toChicaso, and in 1377 to Nebraska, where they have since resided. For the tirst seven years in Nebraska they resided on what was known as the Bone steel farm near this city. Since that time Mr. VanAlstine hail mainly leen :i resident of ihis city. His sickness, though not foralomj time, was very severe. Beside his widow there sur vive him, their children, two sons, W. E. of Denver ami F. M. of this city, ami Mrs. ('. ('. I'a.xton of Falls Citj and Miss Maud S. VanAls tine of this city. The funeral took place from the Methodist church Saturday afternoon at three o'clock, Kev. Hunt conducting the exercises, assisted by ltev. (iriswold. The Iay before his death Sir. Van Alstine was humming over the hjmn "Nearer, my (iod, to Thee;" and "Scatter Seeds of Kind ness," and these were two of the selections by t he choir, and certainly none could have been more appropriate to the occasion. A kinder hearted man proUibly never lived. He had no enemy. All the children nround knew him, and knew him as their tirm and unfailing friend, and his most pleasurable moments seemed to Ik when he was in the midst of a circle of Ids joung friends. All his earthly trialsand troubles over, let us hope that today in the Summer Land his spirit liu.sk in the Infinite light and warmth which are faintly represented here in sunshine, and the love of little children, i'etiee to his inemor.

In his long life, he had many trials, troubles and attlictions, through all of which, so far as we have known him, his constant aim was to do what was right.
