A .Col ibua citizen, speaking of Senator Stanford's bill for loaning money to farmers at 2 per cent says, "if it can 1m passed, there is no doubt it will place the money with the class whose needs now are the most urgent," Gray and Schilling, the two men charged with stealing from a U.

Cards have been received here by friends announcing the wedding to take place this (Wednesday) evening, Dec. 17th, at Ogden, Utah. -S. J. Matherly was arraigned Satur day before Justice Brindley on a charge of stealing a plank from the Packing House, and fined $1 and costs, total $5.7.. It is a gross outrage of the mean est kind, the way in which the Packing House has been despoiled by thieves. The amount of pension granted O. F. Merrill, as announced in last week's Journal turns out to bo an increase from $8 to $12 ier month. This is a surprise to all his friends, as it was snp iiosed that facts warranted an increase to $72, or, at the very least, to $30 a month. w-Mrs. Storey desires to say to all her UpWscnt and prospective customers that sheNgrill sell her stock of milliner' goods or all sinus, -net ner the smallest riouons or the brightest, black Ostrich feathers, now on hands, at actual cost.

It was true of Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago and now promises to be true of Omaha. -Chas. Jenkins of Kalamazoo, Madi son county, was in the city Monday on liis way to Lincoln to attend the state convention of the independents. Charlie has a good many ideas in his head, and is always an active, earnest and efficient worker in anything he undertakes. He has been requested to take part, in the discussion of the lieet sugar industry at the convention. - The entertainment to lie given next Monday evening at the opera house by the Y. P. S. B. U. will be well worth at tending. Those who will take part are the Maennerchor, the Cymbal Quartette, Mesdames Evans, Chambers and Reeder, A. C. Pickett, Ethel Galley, J. A. Shuck, Mesdames Whitinoyer and Gleason, Miss Gleason, Beryl Baker, for music, and rec itations by Clara Weaver, Cliattie Rice, Nellie Jloisington and Mrs. Brindley. Two young fellows of York wanted to have their pictures taken in wild west fashion and J. B. Shane, the photograph er, loaned them revolvers to add to their wooly appearance. While in the act of being "took" one of the revolvers went off and the bullet landed in Shane's right leg, near the thigh, making an ugly but not dangerous wound. Mr. Shane is the lame photograph man who has been at Columbus several times, with his "car." Mrs. J. L. Salt, who is traversing the continent on foot, from San Fran cisco to New York city on a wager of $2,000, to make the distance in three months, arrived in the city Sunday evening, fifteen days ahead of time. She -Kami ner uusoanu 4110 ucuujpauit uei; stopped at the Jndkins and started on their journey eastward Monday morn ing. She is averaging thirty miles a day. She is described as "well-built, rather fleshy, and weighing about 160 pounds. We know of places east that for eight months of the past year, the rain fell, on an average, every other day, and for all we know may yet be falling. Our street sprinkler was going last week, to lay the extra dust that had accumulated. After a man lias lived in a country where the mud is often hub-deep to the wagon, he appreciates such roads as we have most of the time in Nebraska. If the good roads were our only point of ad vantage for Nebraska, it would be well worth con; Jering, but it is only one among a th jusaud. The mountain liou spokeu of last week was shot on Monday by Mr. Netha way. The skin of the homely beast is now on exhibition at Clark Cooucy's While absent at church last Sunday John Smith and family came near being burned out. On coming home they found the carpets on fire up stairs, also a couple of chairs and several quilts were burning. AU that saved a general conflagration was the fact that the house was closely shut up. The fire and smoke damaged the house to the amount of $75, which is covered by insurance. (Fultorton Poat. I puuiem .Has Me Straek It? Ed. Goetzinger, a former citizen of Columbus, was in town Friday, seeking capital to invest in his latest invention, which promises to eclipse anything on record. Some time ago we published a paragraph from the Omaha World Herald giving an account of a wonder worker in Omaha at whose place ould be seen lamps bulling, a little otor running, and a sewing machine 11 .ork, all furnished with power from a mag netic stone; it turns out that this wizard, so-called, -was Ed. Goetzinger, who has for years been somewhat of a chemist, and lately put some original and acquir ed ideas together, and who now seems to have a great big fortune just ahead of him, as the consequence of his ingenuity and pluck. To give the ups and downs, the ins and outs of his hunt after his power, would fill a whole newspaper, but the power shows for itself. He hunted over several states for the nick, and found nt last what he wanted and in great abundance, in Mirl.i an. The little appliance he had here was the ordinary electric door bell, but in stead of the usual battery, was one of his own. A piece of rock, just as taken from the quarry, was immersed in water saturated with salt. From the basin containing this, the circuit was formed with the bell, by the immersion, in the water, of a stick of zinc, and the bell tingled after the usual electrical style. Another vessel containing another piece of rock, etc., added to the strength of the battery very perceptibly, showing the effect of the combination. After having the rock analyzed, he found that he could make artificial compounds of of the elements and on a large scale, at such rates as to make a very cheap power. Mr. Goetzinger doesn't claim to be an electrician, but he shows the power, and leaves others to explain and question and doubt, if they will. In his thinking he started with the notion that the planet on which we live is a natural magnet, some of its solids forming the positive, and the salt water of the ocean the negative. He says that such a battery as can be made, for running a sewing machine, lighting the ordinary dwelling and ring ing the door bell on occasion, would cost about $3 a year; that, beiqg mag netic, it would be one of the best of ap pliances for use by physicians, in cases where magnetism is needed; that the light it produces is much better than the ordinary electric light, being nearly white; that while a battery in use loses some of its strength, when not in actual use, it recuperates strength, with but little waste of material. Whether all of Ed's anticipations may materialize or not. his many acquaintances here hope he may "strike it rich." Col. J. S. Taylor, of Del Mar, Calif., a former resident of this city in early days, is defendant in a case brought against him by Miss Jennie Marshall, for $50,000. She was in his employ a? a waitress, at his hotel in Del Mar, and roomed in a little cottage near there. She says that Taylor called to see her one night, and asked her if she objected to drinking some wine, and she sai I no. whereupon he gave her some wine cut of a flask and she drank it, and immediately became unconscious. It is not neces sary to refer to what followed. From that date she was in the control of Tay lor. She said he often gave her money, and when it liecame evident she was about to become a mother she went to Sau Diego. Taylor used as go-lietweeus a fellow named Ryan and a woman named Moore, who called on Miss Mar shall while she was ill at San Diego. They gave her money and induced her to sign a taper declaring that Harry Boswick was reeiionsible for her shame. When Taylor received this document he refused to have anything to do with his victim, and Miss Marshall said she saw uo more of him from that date, July 11, 1880, up to the present. She declared on the witness stand she never knew a man by the name of Harry Boswick. and signed the paper liecause she was in des titute circumstances, and knowiug if she did not do so Taylor would not give her the money she so sorely stood in need of. Taylor has large property interests in New Mexico as well as California, and is a married man. While Rev. Worley was in the midst of his discourse Sunday evening, he was compelled to stop and reprimand some boys whose conversation, (not carried on in an undertone by any means) had been noticeable several times to everyliody in the room. He gavo them to understand that they were violating the law and that he would be justified in having them arrested for it Once in a congrega tion in this city we noticed a transaction that had the very hearty approval of all those who saw it, except the little scape graces who were the cause of the pun ishment. Three boys, during half of one of Rev. St. Clair's impassioned sermons, had distracted the attention of some dozen would-be attentive hearers, when one man, unable longer to miss the op portunity, took his closed pocket-knife, and reaching forward, brought its handle down upon the head of the chief offend er, hard enough to "kill a skeeter" any how, and the boy didn't know which way to look for Sunday, and after a few mo ments of illy-suppressed mortification on his part, and illy-suppressed laughter on the part of his companions, they all three went out of the church, doubtless more thoughtful, if not better lioys, than when they came in. Andrew Iversen and bis brother-in-law James Michelson, were in the city Wednesday last, and gave The Journal sanctum a very pleasant call on business. This was Mr. Iversen 's first visit to Co lumbus since he returned, last spring, from his residence in Utah. Mr. Michel sen has been a resident there the last sixteen years, and now lives about twelve miles south of Salt Lake. They speak of that country in the highest tern1?, uot only for agriculture and fruit riing, but for its mines, chiefly of lead v d sil ver; the climate, also, is deligbtfu.. while the plague of polygamy is fast loeiug its hold upon the communities.

She is in excellent health and says that Charlie is growing all the time. A YoKug Tonpli. There are getting to lie some pretty tough lioys in town. We don't think there are very many of them, but if the few there are don't mend their ways, they will go to the bad in a hurry one of these days. Boys, when you do a mean thing, a cowardly act, you lose some thing of self-respect, and when this sentiment has all gone because of your meanness, you will wish you had acted differently. Stop and change your course liefore it is too late. Last Wednesday evening, about dusk, Mrs. R. L. Rossiter, accompanied by her aged aunt and a balie, were returning home from a visit, and except for the fact that the tain had been driven a long ways and were very tired, a fearful accident might have lieen the result of a malicious piece of foolery on the part of some tioy whose hellish disposit ion needs looking after. Several lioys were in the squad, and were evidently returning from the skating pond, but it was too dark for Mrs. Rossiter to recognize any of them. Justus she was driving past the squad, one of them swung his skates at the head of one of the horses she was driving, and he shied to one side, when she said, "Boys, don't strike the horse," when the resfionse came, "Oh, you go to h-1, (S d d n you," and he struck again with his skates at the horse. It is safe to say that if the darkness had not hid their faces, or that Mr. Rossiter had been at home, the young scapegrace would not have swaggered off free from punishment for his mean ness, his cowardice and his gross, vile insult to a lady. Three innocent lives were endangered and might have been lost through the fiendish projien.sity of a young tough who has already developed the instincts of a foot-pad. Too Meagre a lVnnioii. It has come to the attention of the Telegram that great injustice has been done a citizen of Columbus by the pen sion bureau. Oscar F. Merrill, who was a soldier in the late war was badly wounded by a gunshot, so that of late years he has become entirely helpless and is a constant charge upon his wife. She cannot leave him to do a bit of work toward the family's support, and he is a very deserving man. He has been draw ing a pension of eight dollars per month, but some time ago the Grand Army post of this city investigated the matter thor oughly and concluded that he was justly entitled to a large increase of pension. Proofs were accordingly procured and the post united in bringing his case to the attention of the pension bureau.with strong recommendations for immediate action. It had some effect, for word has been received that Mr. Merrill's pension has been increased to twelve dollars per month. The members of the post are very indignant over the matter and will probably file a vigorous protest, as soon as they have a meeting. The fact exists, that there is no more deserving case in Columbus, and jet there are several old soldiers here who draw larger pensions than that granted Mr. Merrill. He is not paid one-fourth what he Bhould re ceive, and it is hoped that the matter will not be allowed to rest until justice is done. ITelegram.

This via the lee ne followed by the B. & O. railroad, the most picturesque as well as the most di rect route from the Mississippi river to the Atlantic seaboard, streiching across level and fertile prairies, amid hills and valleys, over mountain crests, along banki of historic riven, through tetm- fing cities and bustling towns. The through B. & O. trains, with full Pull man equipment of sleeping, parlor and buffet cars, runjrom St Louis to Wash ington in 29 hours; from Cincinnati to Washington iu 18 hours; from Chicago to Washington iu 25 houq. Sleepers from all points run through to New York.from the west without change. At Washington connection is made with the B. & O.'s matchless Royal Blue Line for Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. These Royal Blue trains consist of the staunchest and finest coaches, parlor and sleeping cars ever, built by the Pullman company; are veetibuled from end to end, and are projected by Pullman's improved anti-telescopiug de vice, which makes every car aasafe as it can be made by mau's ingenuity and skill. All the cars are heated "by steam and lighted by Piutich gas. They are the finest trains in the world, placing New York and Washington within live hours' reach. St. Patrirk'.H Outetrry. Throe days of last week the county surveyor, R. L. Rossiter, was engaged in platting St. Patrick's church cemetery, near Gleason 's. on Shell creek. There are eight acres of it and it had never liefore lieen platted. Two avenues run through the center, one north and south, the other east and west, with alleys lietween tiers of lots, the lots being lftr.32 feet. One-fourth of the grounds was reserved; there are in the other three-fourths 3ft) lots. Those in any way interested in the survey, or who may wish to acquire title to lots can consult with the church com mittee at Platte Center. Mii'rorojtm. This is a queer kind of an atmosphere. A. W. Clark is on the jury. Miss Ella Byrnes is teaching her first term of school near Platte Center. John Browner, who recently lost his stables and sheds by tire, has rebuilt. Fred Stenger, one of our most able and efficient farmers and financiers, is feeding a number of car loads of steers, in spite of the shortage of corn. Wonder what magnet there is on the south side of theU. P. R. R. track that draws Lute Stewart? Lawrence Byrnes is recovering after a severe attack of pneumonia. Surprise at A. W. Clark's last Friday night; an enjoyable time is reported. Miss May Marshall has again returned to the city. George Engel's new buggy don't seem to catch on. Girls, what's the matter? One of J. II. Reed k. Son's colts had the misfortune to break its leg last Mon day morning. George Galley is greatly troubled by thieves this fall. Will Ernst was a visitor to the couuty of Polk last week. Miss Mary Griffin, who h:is been at tending the Columbus high school, is staying at home for the present. Cwloin. Creston. Our town keeps step with the times. While we have no liooin, and do not ex pect nor want any, legitimate improve-, ments are always welcomed. Mr. Thomas Brown, late of Bradshaw, Xeb., is building a commodious store room, and will move his stock into it when completed. He will erect a hand some residence and bring his family here. The Clark house still holds the field without competition. The care of Mr. Clark and his worthy wife for the "stranger within their gates" leaves nothing more to lie desired. Our school has been divided into two departments, a new- room having been added to the building. The arrange ment is a great improvement, and Miss Cathie Cain as principal and her sister Miss Lizzie in the primary department are giving complete satisfaction iu their work. Sup't Cramer spent last Thursday here visiting the school and consulting with the teachers. He suggested a few changes which will lie carried out. in the near future. Wo are rejoicing in onr fine fall weather; while our crops fall lielow the usual standard they are enough to see us all through to another year in good shape. Trade is fair and the general health good. Km. Palestine. Nels Berlin, esq., is working with his brother on the Dack mansion. Corn husking, or rather .stalk husking, is done around here.
