H. Kiisehe's Monday evening. It was decided to have the next special meeting Saturday evening with Miss Nettie An derson, omit the next regular meeting, and hold the invitation meeting Tues day evening next, at Fitzpatrick's hall. We 6iipiose that we are indebted to Owen Newman, esq., late of the Sentinel of this city, for a copy of the Agricul turist and Manufacturer of Sheffield, Ala. Mr. Newman is connected with that publication, and it certainly is a credit to the locality which it represents. The German Baptists in the great west have appointed a committee who have been authorized to take the first steps towards establishing an academy in the west. The one at Rochester. New York, (for males only) is too re mote. Cannot Columbus look after this matter? The quarterly meeting of the Platte county farmers' alliance will lie held at Henry hall. Platte Center, Wednesday. April 1st at 10 a. m.: all subordinate alliances should lie represented, and all members in good standing are cordially invited. So runs the call issued by secretary Jewell. - We remember a fellow who boast ed, before he went into the army, what he would do with the relels when he got into a fight, but he was among those who were very averse to fighting, when the time came, and so it is geuerally with the braggarts. Self-praise is more than half scandal. The Nebraska State Fair is to be held at Lincoln, September 4th to 11th. and the management are making great preparations, as usual, for success.

E. church this city came to a close Saturday evening last, after contin uance of six weeks. The meetings seemed to le increasing in interest certainly the attendance was large and increasing. Itev. H. C. Maston. who was under promise to return last week and assist Mr. Worley, took sick at Wayne, Neb., and was unable to get back. Dur ing the progress of the meetings seven persons were received on probation: four by letter, and four by profession of faith. Mr. Worley has certainly evidenced un tiring zeal in his work, and will be gratified if the lives of any shall prove to have been lieuefitted therebv. A very pleasant surprise party met at Fred. Reimer's residence on ighth street last Thursday evening, and .assed an enjoyable three hours" session in social games and conversation, as well as in disposing of the refreshments that the good ladies had brought along for the occasion. Besides the masters and misses present, there were Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hatfield, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Brew er, Mr. ami Mrs. James Warner, Mr. and Mrs. J. Fauble, Mr. and Mrs. H. Fauhle, Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Turner, Mrs. J. G. Becher, Mrs. J. It. Meagher, Mrs. Lou Esslinger, Mrs. C. Davis, Mrs. Siggs, Miss Kate Early, Miss Ida Meagher and Miss Minnie Meagher. The republican candidates for conn cilmen, Messrs. A. L. Bixby, P. W. Hen rich and S. C Gray are, each and all, well qualified to discharge the duties of the office. All, interested in the per manent welfare of the city; all, thor oughly in favor of whatever just meas ures may come before the council for ad vancing the interests of the city; all, capable of thinking for themselves, and abundantly able to advocate their prin eiples before a legislative laidy. If your vote helps to place them in this respon sible position, you need have no fear but they will honor the trust confided to them. The democracy of the city, in dele gate convention Friday evening, nomi nated the following ticket: Mayor, It. II. Henry; treasurer, . I. B. Delsinan; clerk, (ins. Falbaum; councilman First ward, Aug. Boettcher: Second, G. W. Phillips; Third, Dan. Schrani: tuemliers of the school board, C. A. Speice, D. F. Davis. A former democrat, when asked his opinion of the ticket, very briefly re marked, "chestnuts!" and added that while there were some new names, the ticket were mostly representativesof the same set of men who have had con trol of city affairs for years and years. -An old Ohio soldier had his ire re kindled the other day by receiving an answer from the secretary of state to an inquiry for a roster of Ohio soldiers, that they were for sale at a certain price. And this, when Wisconsin is hunting up her old soldiers in other states, and sending them the historx of their reg iments gratis. It reminded him or the times of the war when Indiana's gov ernor Morton sent agents into the army to hunt up Indiana's wounded, sick and disabled soldiers, and Ohio's wounded look on with envv. t Farmer.

Carl Seholz, who died on Sunday. Kev. Mr. Bruschweiler and Kev. Mr. Nicolie spoke highly of the deceased gentleman and administered words of comfort and con solation to the hearts of the congrega tion, especially to the widow and orphan." - Will. B. Dale has received his coin mission from the supreme lodge K. of P., as assistant judge advocate general, Ne braska brigade, ranking as colonel, and dating from March .'I. 1S91. This is the fourth commission the colonel has re ceived from headquarters, captain, major, stalT and now colonel, hi an order so numerous, and with so many brilliant men. it is quite an honor to lie selected for such an important (tosition. - Saturday and Sunday evenings, there was disturbance at the revival meetings at W. H. Lohr's residence, by young men who, to say the least, forgot themselves, and did what they ought not. One of the liest phrases in American literature is that contained in the declaration of independence, "a decent regard for the opinions of mankind." and this ought to be sufficient, even if there were no higher consideration. "Quit your meanness." Butteriield and Barr, charged with stealing goods from a railroad car, were acquitted by the jury last week. It seems the almost universal opinion of those who heard the testimony that the men were guilty as charged, but that the sympathy of the jury was aroused by the tears of Mrs. Butteriield and the eloquent speeches of attorneys C. J. Garlow of this city and D. A. Holmes of Norfolk. - W. II. Darrow of Cortez. Colorado, was in the city Thursday, and went to Madison in the evening to visit his uncle, lawyer Robinson. Mr. Darrow says that our mutual friend James W. Hanna. late speaker or the Colorado house of rep resentathes. is a very jnipular man with the people or Colorado, made stronger by the stand he took in the legislature. Constable Houfek. while driving across the liottoms near town, shot a fine specimen of an American eagle. It measured six feet and seven inches from tip to tip of wing.

Vernon Craig of Craig, Burt county, and who has been attending the state university, came up from Lincoln Satur day to visit relatives in this "neck of woods.'' Henry Ragatz. The republican candidate for mayor, is the well-known grocer of Eleventh street. Hois a level-headed man of af fairs, cool, deliberate, thoughtful, care ful and decided. All the interests of the city would lie perfectly safe in his hands, so far as the discharge of his official duties would be concerned. He is not without considerable ex perience, having lieen a member of the city council for four years, and thorough ly cognizant of our city affairs. Be sides, he proved himself a councilman of the better sort, in fact the liest practical measures had his approval. Several canards have already lieen started in regard to Mr. Ragutz. even in the short time since his nomination; one of them is that, if he is elected, a certain man will open up here a gambling hole the inference lieing that Mr. Ragatz. would wink at such violation of the law. This is a misrepresentation of the worst kind, for Mr. Kagatz would be in favor of enforcing the laws, and does not. de sire an election on a false basis. K. II. Fitzpatrirk. The candidate for treasurer on the re publican ticket is a thoroughly respon sible man in every particular. No por tion of the public money entrusted to his care will lie misplaced, misused or lost. He is well known to the business community ;is in every respect worthy of the trust, should it lie placed in his charge. You will never regret voting for him for treasurer. xV-Farm for sale; 80. acres, on easy an uHjl payments and at low interest. P. W&enrich, Real Estate Agent. TIIK :OMKX PAl'IFir. An Intrrrttius letter from Our Former Tymwiwi. Jame lla4on. Madera. CaL, March 10,1891. Ei. Journal: I always was a poor hand to write letters, the plow handles anil lines had a charm for me, but slow to take up a pen. Before I left Woodville, I had to promise my old neighbors of nearly twenty years' acquaintance, that I would write them as soon as I got here. I did not think how big a job I had contract ed, there were 6o many of them that showed me kindness, and did all they could to help me, that I cannot write to one or two without slighting others that had equal claim for my recognition. Knowing as I do that a great many of them nre readers of The Journal, and if you will lear with my simple way of telling it, using your paper as the means of communication and so save my stamps, and with all the generosity nt my command, will thank you. Of course that's what the matter, the newspaper is the great disseminator of truthful news; while the editor gets the husks the reader gets the kernel. We left Columbus on the 11th at 11:20 p. in., everything going on smoothly and pleasantly till we reached Sacramento, when at 2 o'clock in the morning we were notified to hustle out of our berths and change cars for Fresno; this was a surprise for we hail lieen informed that the car that took us from Columbus would take us through without change. Mr. Turner, you are a father and a pa tient man, and don't swear; but if you had a trick like that turned on you, your wife delivering u curtain lecture and five children to stuff into their clothes, and the colored porter with his eyes shining like (Hilar star urging haste, you would have said as I did, "drat that agent at Columbus," ami would have spit out such taffy as we guljied down. However, we got here on Sunday; had seen no sun since we struck the state, and all night it rained, it was the rainy season, thundered and lightened and as our circulars told us there were no thun der storms I concluded it was gotten up for our special benefit. Wife says if heaven can shoot off" its artillery for poor folks like us what will it do for Presi dent Harrison when he makes his ex liected visit to the land of "such a glo rious climate." The grass is green; wild Mowers in abundance are in bloom: the trees not all leafed out yet. We cannot tell yet how we shall like it. I met an old friend from St. Edward; he said there was plenty of work for us, but I shall go out to the colony and see how things look. I will try to tell you in my next if I have occasion to say "drat it" again. This lengthy preface will insure short letters hereafter. .Iamf.s Hrnsox. Xu. V'y Kamitiiiio. Spring is here. The wild geese and thicks have ar rived once more. John Hanson of Richland went to Co lumbus Friday. Henry Larue of Genoa came down to these parts Saturday, searching for em ployment. Mr. Meays was drawing corn Friday from the east. , Owing to the bad roads and the large amount of .water that is on the ground, the number of scholars present last week at school was reduced. T.J?. Marshall has moved in with his brother J. O. near the school house: Frank means to do big business farming this summer. Frank Abart of Colfax, shipped fifty six head of fat cattle Saturday to Chica go, hoping to hit a good market. The wedding or Miss Lawrence and Mr. Stewart took place at the home of the bride's mother at 2 p. in., last Wed nesday the 18th. A large number of their friends were invited. A splendid supper was served in the evening, after which the old folks went home; the oc casion was greatly enjoyed by the young folks until the arrival of the wee small honrs. The junior Marshall boys are having a large amount of trouble with their pumps, one having froze up and the other one having received the worst of the wear at the valve, refuses to throw water. Dig 'em out, boys, no other remedy known. The ly cen m of the 18th was postponed until tonight; therefore a grand success ib expected; the program is lengthy. The time has come when the Bug must bid you readers good-bye. Owing to the scarcity of news, and being so busy about the farm, I resign, hoping no one has lieen offended at my writing, for at least it never was so intended, and if some caable writer will now take my place, I shall read the news with in terest. So, saying by-by, and a con tinuing success to Thf. Jouknal, I re main, yours truly, Johnnie Marshall. Iitri-t 44 anil VUinity. A light rainfall Friday night, lietween fi anil 8 o'clock.

Schochtschneider, a German liv ing just east of the city, and who was adjudged insane last December, and sent to the Norfolk asylum, where he has been treated all winter, returned home last Monday. His wife drove into the city for him on the day of his arrival, but he not seeing her, sprang from the train and took the railroad track east for home, arriving there ahead of the team. Eliza Drinnin made a business trip to Osceola, the capitol of Polk county, last Friday. Herman Herring, we are told, has en gaged his services with Lou. Pitt man of the Sheldon farm; we did not learn whether Herman's ferrets were included in the contract. John MeGill, jr., started with his team to move overland to Omaha last Thurs day; when he got as far as J. E. Nichol's east of the city he learned that his father north of the city was taken violently ill. So he immediately turned around to care for his father, and post poned the trip indefinitely.
