Everybody knows H. J. Hudson, the
republican candidate for police judge,
and knows him to be very well qualified
for the position for which he has been
named. There is no doubt of both his
ability and his disposition to do his full

might as w a be made unanimous.
Capt. Alonzo Haight, the republi
can candidate for city treasurer, is a
thorough-going business man in every
respect, but not now in active business.
The funds of the city will be perfectly

the interests of the city are concerned,
in the dischargo of the duties of his
office.
John G. Pollock, the republican
candidate for mayor, has been a citizen

and during that time has taken an active
interest in city affairs, having been, the
past two years, a member of our cityr
council. At Beatrice, his former home,
he likewise served in the same capacity,
and thus has had an experience in city
affairs that will serve him a good pur
pose as Columbus's next mayor.
One of the most important positions
on tho city ticket is that of member of

to be elected, and the republicans of the
city have selected two excellent men,
viz: Col. M. Whitmoyer and Hon. W. A.
McAllister, both men of learning and
experience; both of them men who have
a living interest in the welfare of the
city and her schools; both of them
abundantly able at any time to give a
good reason for their course of action.

CHABGED WITH CRIME.
-
A VilUiaoM ud Cowardly Await Upon aa
Unprotected Woman.
County Attorney, L L. Albert, pre
pared the papers Saturday, and Antony
Bander swore out a complaint against
Jdmes Morrissey and Martin Moriarty,
charging them with the crime of assault
and rape upon the person of Mrs. Mary
Bander.
From what she says the crime was
committed Tuesday afternoon of last
week, while her husband was absent
from their home, which is five miles
southwest from Platte Center.
They came to the premises and asked
the woman to show them a horse which
they claimed they wished to purchase.
She accompanied .them to the barn
where they compelled her to drink some
whisky, after which both the men ac
complished their vile purposes in out
raging her.
The men charged with the cowardly,
and worse than beastly, crime were ar
rested Saturday, brought down and
placed in jail by Deputy Sheriff A. J.
Campbell, not without apprehensions of
lynching. They of course deny tho ac
cusations. They are young men about
18; Mrs. Bander is a Polish woman of 30.
The preliminary hearing of the case
will be before Justice Win. O'Brien, this
(Wednesday) afternoon, at 1 o'clock.
James Browner had a narrow escape
last Saturday evening. With his own
team, he was hauling a load of corn for
Harry Beedjind.had tied the team, to a
hitching post near 'the electric light
works. They became frightened, broke
the post off, started north, struck the
main track of the Union Pacific, tearing
the front trucks away from the remain
der of the combination, leaving the
wagon-bed and hind wheels on the track.
When they struck the next track, one of
the horses fell under the tongue, and
both horses were so mixed up with the
tongue and wheels that they were com
pelled to succumb to the inevitable.
Tho narrow escape of the young man
consisted in his not being with the
outfit when they fell across two railroad
tracks.
The Platte Center Argus and tho
Columbus Sentinel have gone into the
Silent Land so far kit least as Ineir
names are concerned. More properly
speaking, perhnps, the two lists have
been joined under a new name, Platte
County Argus, the first issue of which
appeared Friday last. It is an eight
page paper, patent insides, conducted by
A. L. Bixby and Warwick Saunders. It
is understood that the latter brings
himself and his list of subscribers to the
Sentinel; that the work on the paper is
done with the material of tho former
Sentinel. Tho new combination will be
another factor in the upbuilding of Co
lumbus, and as such The Journal ex
tends the hand of fellowship.
. At the democratic city convention
Friday evening the ticket placed in
nomination was: D. Schupbach for
mayor; J. B. Delsman, treasurer; Gus
Falbaum, clerk; Wm. O'Brien, police
judge; R. II. Henry and J. N. Taylor,
members board of education. The sev
eral wards had placed in nomination
their candidates for council Thursday
evening: First, C. A. Speice, to succeed
himself; Second, I. Gluck; Third, C. A.
Newman. The central committee ap
pointed was: D. Schupbach, C. A. Speice,
G. W. Phillips and J. M. Gondring.
D. N. Miner, the republican candi
date for city clerk, was a citizen of Co
lumbus from 1871 to 1886, and then
again from March 1891 to the present
time. He is active, prompt, attentive to
business, and will make a good clerk.
He is a man of family, and has a lively
interest in the welfare of the city. He
was a faithful soldier of the republic
during the war of the rebellion, and un
derstands the full force and meaning of
the word "duty," when applied to serv
ing the public. A vote for Miner will
be well placed.
There is no need for those desiring
treatment against the drink habit to go
further than Columbus. Dr. Clark of
this city who, through his own investi
gations discovered a remedy, has been
entirely successful in the treatment of a
large number of persons. This is no
advertisement for Dr. Clark. It is sim
ply the truth as known to us, and when
you can be treated here why should you
go further? Build up home enterprises.
All other things being equal, patronize
your own townspeople.

Judge H. J. Hudson had a very nar
row escape from serious injury or death
Sunday afternoon. His feet slipped out
from under him and he came down with
great force to the ground. At first it
was thought some ribs were broken or
that there was great internal injury, but
a few hours of careful home-treatment
gave such relief as to show there was no
serious injury. A big welt on the side,
a bruised arm and inability to cough
without pain for a day were among the
results of the fall.
. C. Fillman returned Friday from
Chicago. He says that the World's Fair
is evidently to be a huge enterprise.
Already the space fully occupied is forty
acres and of course but a mere begin
ning has been made. To get into the
grounds, you must have a permit or else
pay $5; so great is the demand to see
what is going on, that something has to
be done to keep the crowds of curious
peoplo away from tho grounds where so
many thousands are at work, day and
night.
J. C. Martin had what came near
being a fatal accident while out hunting
the first of the week, by falling in the
river. Supt. Backus of Genoa was with
him at the time and worked over him
till help came. It seems that they were
on an island of the Platte river and it
was nearly four hours before a boat
could be brought and slush ice being so
thick, rendering their progress very
slow. Clarke Leader.

cessful and wonderfully popular, comedy
novelty "Oh! What a Night."

attraction since its first production,

of the most knowing ones in the theat
rical profession. Think of an'attraction
clearing above all expenses the exorbi

cess, only being in bed a little over two
days, against ten days for the first at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
first but for the use of this remedy, as I
had to go to bed in about six hours after
being 'struck' with it, while in the first
case I was able to attend to business
about two days before getting 'down.' "

A Partial Review.
Emtob Joubnal: In your issue of
tip 16th inst., an article appears over the
signature of H. Mieseler, defending his
action, in refusing to bury the late Mar
tin Heintz. He says he "has publicly
been criticised in The Joubnaxi and Co
Iambus Wochenblatt, for having denied
a christian burial to the late Martin
Heintz." I am not a reader of the
Wochenblatt, and know not the charac
ter of its criticism complained of; its
editor is capable of crossing pens with
the Rev. gentleman, and doubtless will
do so to their mutual satisfaction.
As I am the author of what appeared
in The Journal on the matter in con
troversy, I ask the privilege to analyze
his defense of "a christian burial for
christian only." The paragraph the
gentleman deems himself "criticised" by
reads: "Raised under thcTteachings of
the German Lutheran church, whatever
the cause of estrangement, its tenets
gave him hope, as heneared the tomb,
although denied a burial by its minis
try." Only an over-sensitive mind could
construe the above paragraph into a
criticism. "A burial" was asked for and
refused. "Not to excite a controversy,
but I feel constrained to set
forth tne reasotrior my action," says Mr.
Miessler. I certainly have no desire to
provoke one. I did not anticipate a
column article in The Journal, from a
casual statement of a fact admitted, and
now so ingeniously with prolific pen de
fined, in his article. I did not claim a
"Chxjstian" burial for "the laie Martin
Heihtz." I am glad that sudr'an'able
defence for "a christian burial" is put
on record by" so good a man 'as Rev.
Miessler is reputed to be.
That I should be the cause of evolving
such a special plea excites my surprise
indeed. It is not my ambition to antag
onise any truth that will elevate the
tone of public opinion, especially in the
line of God's dealings with mankind,
and his plain word as revealed in the
scriptures. I should have refrained
from comment on the article "christian
burial for christian only," if it were not
in direct conflict with the broad human
ity of a loving Savior's teachings. A
very casual examination reveals a dog
matism born of creed and not of Christ,
honey-combed with narrow bigotry and
intolerance, that, at the risk of exciting
controversy, I quote a few only of the
sentiments that ought to bring the
blush of shame to any man standing
forth as a minister of a loving Christ,
as understood in the enlightened phi
lanthrophy of this day, that crumbling
creeds have hid beneath the dogmas of
arrogance, which sees no good thing
outside the pale of their own church.
Thanks be to God, a broader humani
ty animates our ministry today, than
seems to display itself in Rev. Miessler's
article. "He who has spent his life in
sins, vices and infamy, and has died
without repentanco and conversion,
must justly bear as a consequence of his
life of Bin, that he be buried as a godless
person." L admit that no ceremonies at
such a burial could affect the "godless
person," had he no friends to whom lov
ing words of instruction could bo given.
"It hath been said for all kho die.
There is a tear;
Some bleeding, pining heart to sigh
O'er every bier."
Did the Rev. Miessler ever seek to re
move the bitter sting thrust into his
soul in Prussia under Lutheran dog
matic demands? I trow not. I said in.
his brief obituary the tenets of the Ger
man Lutheran church "gave him hope
as he neared the tomb." I know where
of I speak. H.did sin, he had many
grievous faults, but under that darkened
life there beat a throbbing heart, under
that rough exterior there breathed a
living soul.
"Think gently of the erring
Lord let ns not forget
However darkly ittained by Bin,
He is oar brother yet,
Heir of the same inheritance.
Child of the self same God.
lie hath bnt atnnibled in the path
We have in weakness trod."
