This ought to be a good year for Nebraska, seeing that there is now every promise of abundant yields. Probably the soil at this time of year was never in better condition for tho growth of grain.

Her dress caught fire, but no serious damage resulted. Tho fire alarm sounded, but the "tiro laddies" were not needed. The daughter of the late Kev. C. Scholz, Miss Margarettc Scholz, is en gaged to be married to Mr. Fred. Bur gher. Miss Scholz was formerly a resi dent of Columbus, and her father the pastor of the German Reformed church here.

The good farmers of Platte are going to keep on breaking their prairie until all but the natural meadows and the few rough places are turned over for cultivation. The lecture of Chancellor Canfield Tuesday evening of last week was a very able production. The Indian club, the dumb-bell and the umbrella drills were most excellent, while the duet by Mes dames Martin and Chambers was highly pleasing to that part of the audience who could enjoy the good music not withstanding the annoying loud talk of some irrepressible boys. The homeliest man in Columbus as well as the handsomest, and others are fevited to call on any druggist and get free a trial bottle of Kemp's Balsam for the throat and lungs, a remedy that is selling entirely upon its merits and is guaranteed to relieve and cure all chronic and acute coughs, asthma, bron chitis and consumption.

It is a neat little, four column fol j, "devoted to the welfare and development of the creamery and dairy interests, and distributed free to patrons and others interested." F. N. Stevenson is the proprietor and W. K. Lay editor of the new paper, while J. M. Curtis has charge of the mechanical department, and it is an all-around-creditable production, and long may it live to fill its mission of good and build up to still greater proportions, one of the best of industries ever started in Columbus.

There were two party tickets in the field, re publican and democratic, the republi cans electing treasurer, clerk, police judge, engineer (no opposition,) c incil men in First and Second wards, r d the democrats electing mayor and council man of the Third ward. As to the school board, each party elects one mem ber, the democrats one of the present board, the republicans Col. M. Whit moyer in place of J. N. Taylor, the present secretary of the board.

Clarks Leader. BURST THE BARS. ft Two Inmates of Platte Conaty'a Cage Take Le? Rail nad Skin. '' Platte county's cage is a pretty solid place in which to keep prisoners, and doubtless when they are securely looked' in, "there they are" for good. But last Saturday morning's developments showed that the door is sometimes locked after the escape is made. Sheriff Kavanaugh, in contemplation of a trip east, employed Charles Wako to look after matters in the city, while Deputy Campbell should be engaged in out-of-the-city duties. Friday last Campbell was away on business of the office, returning at a late hour. He re ceived from Wake the only key there is to the cage, retired for the night, in tho room adjoining the jail, slept the sleep of the tired official, waked up in the morning, called to the men in the cage (as he supposed,) asking if they wanted any fire, and was surprised that he got no answer. On investigation he found they had gone out at one of the windows. The explanation is that when Wake gave them their supper, he went out after coal, and that when he returned and locked the door, he did not notice that the prisoners were outside the cage and not inside. This is Sheriff Kavanaugh's view of the situation. He says that he had given strict orders that the prisoners be kept at all times in the cage. They are tho young men, Martin Moriarity aifil James Morrissey, held for trial on a charge of rape. Sheriff Kavanaugh offers a reward of S50 for the capture of the men. They were seen on the road from here to Platte Center, and provided them selves with horses. Shell Creek Gleaning. Mr. J. S. Henrich of Denver arrived in Platte Center a few days ago. His health failing at office work he will farm for awhile. Ho has rented the farm of Mr. Wm. Bloedorn, his brother-in-law, with a view of buying it, and Mr. F. Leefeld, who had rented the farm thus far, is now going to work it for Mr. J. S. Hen rich, he having gone back to Denver to prepare for moving. Rev. A. Henrich is slowly improving, being ont a little on fino days. Mr. C. VanAUen and his son-in-law, Mr. John Kerr, have bought out Mr. Solomon and have now the n. w. quarter of school land, sec. 36, town 19, range 3 west. Mr. G. Kaul has quit making brick at Platte Center a good chance for an other man. A Baptist church has been organized hat Humphrey, of some forty German members mostly from Shell creek Bap tist church (German) Rev. Mr.Beuthack, pastor. That gentleman and Rev. A. Henrich being both sick at the time, Rev. Mr. Trantschel of Beatrice happen ing to be here collecting, presided at the organization. The new church has not yet called a pastor. Mr. Owen Parry, an excellent young Welshman, is batching it on a part of the old so-called "Bloomingdale stock farm." Rather lonesome and uncom fortable such a way of living, isn't it? Mr. P. is otherwise in comfortable cir cumstances. Mr. George Morkmore has rented of Mr. Gluck the old HeinemanV.farm on Shell creek. Mr. M. is an industrious and able farmer worthy of confi dence. Mr. J. S. Henrich has ordered a granary to be built on Wm. Bloedorn's farm. It will bo used for a dwelling till fall. He has bought out Mr. Leefeld, stock, horses, implements and all. Subscriptions for the now $25,000 Catholic church to bo built at Platte Center are being taken. If the coming harvest is good, it will be built surely. Mr. J. A. Kehoo having resigned his position as grain buyer, another man has taken his place. There is also to be a change in tho business of the farmers' elevator, Mr. Morrissey having quit. Tho writer has not learned who the happy occupant will be. Mr. Kehoe is an experienced grain buyer. He will hereafter conduct a business on his own account, and will no doubt make it a success. "The more the merrier." The prospect for farming is excellent, tho ground being well saturated with moisture. The warm rain yesterday started tho grass. x. T. z. District Conrt. From Judge Sullivan's docket we gather the proceedings of tho court Sat urday, as follows: Willard M. Tyler v. Amy D. Tyler. Finding for defendant and decree of divorce in her favor at plaintiff's costs. By agreement of parties the defendant is awarded $900, alimony to be paid in thirty days. Tena Cedor v.

Dewey v. Williams. Sale confirmed and deed ordered. Dewey v. Rossiter. Sale confirmed and deed ordered. Dewey v. Dickenson. Sale confirmed and deed ordered. Dewey v. Potter. Sale confirmed and deed ordered. W. H. Selsor of Geneva was in the ci ty Thursday on his way to Humphrey and gave the Journal a pleasant call on bu siness. He is very pleasantly located; the seven lots which he purchased some weeks ago in Geneva as a site for his new dwelling-house, have already advan ced a fourth in value. Mr. Selsor has been a resident of Platte county nine teen years, is an old soldier, and an ar dent republican. In that time he has been (with but three exceptions we be lieve,) a delegate of his township to the county convention, and several times he has been a delegate of the county to dis trict and state conventions, and our coun ty gatherings will be lonely without him. A most excellent citizen, the Jodbxaii is very sorry to see Mr. Selsor remove to another part of the state. There is no danger from whooping cough when Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy is freely given. It liquefies the tough, tenacious mucus and aids in its expectoration. It also lessens the se verity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing, and insures a speedy re covery. There is not the least danger in giving it to children or babies, as it contains no injurious substance. 50 cent bottles for sale by C. E. Pollock & Co. and Dr. Heinz, Druggists. tf Oace More. A Christian Bnrial for Chris tians Only. v- "Editor Jocbkai: Again Mr. Miessler ;tUra a feeble wail (not even attempting an-argument) in defence -of his former blunder in the "Martin Heintz matter." With tremulous muttering he says: "The broad views of Christianity which characterize our nineteenth century, are not contained in the scrip tures, arc not the loving Savior's teach' ings." Whatever maybe the merits or de merits of "Martin Heintz's life and death," it has drawn attention to the "scriptures," as evidenced by the many quotations made by the several., corre spondents engaged in the "Miessler AnnfrAraiwv I think it was Holmes, who wrote "We are like omnibuses, in which all our ancestors ride." I never saw its forcefulness, as when I read the above utterance of Mr. M.. I involuntarily ex claimed, surely the ancestors of 1521 to 1516 were riding in Mr. Miessler's "om nibus." As indicated in a recent issue. .-with yonr permission I resume my review of Rev. H. Miessler's article. 'A Christian Bnrial for Christian only." I admit, as he says, "The bnrial of the dead, taken in the abstract, is simply a common, civil, human affair, a duty of love which all mankind owes its dead." Only this and nothing more was asked for Martin Heintz. "The unbe lieving world also has its dead to bury, and it may do this in any manner it pleases; that does not concern us chris tians in the least." An unfeeling utter ance when compared with the teachings 'of the Divine Master, who himself con tinually went about doing good, incul cating, nay more, enjoining upon his disciples a solicitude and watch-care oter their fellows, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." "This is the first and Rreat command. To love thy God abote. And this the second as thyself, Thjr neighbor, thou shalt love. Who is my neighbor? He who wants Tho help which thou canst Kive, And both the law and prophets sny ibis ao, ana mou eiiait live. Luke in his testimony and record, says in chap. 10, verse 31, "And by chance, there came down a certain priest, that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on tho other side." From the 25th to the 37th verse of this chapter would take up too much space to quote, but whoever will read them will find a loving refutation of Mr. M's flippant sarcasm, that it "does not concern us christians i the least." i While the promises are for the godly, "i. e. a true believer in Jesus Christ," the cursings are for the godless, "avowed unbeliever." These definitions made by tne ivov. gentleman nimseii, uo not au thorize "a christian," though he be a reverend (a questionable title at best), to sit in judgment and deny his fellows, what the "Christ of God" commanded his servants to perform. See I Cor. 4-6; 13-4, a hard lesson to learn, for those who prided themselves in "being Abra ham's seed," the oracles of God. John 8-33. Rev. Miessler says "that does not concern us christians in the least" what the unbelieving world may do with their dead, "we aro in good standing," as evi denced "with regard to a christian burial performed with christian, churchly rites and ceremonies." "1 christian bnrial is a public testi mony of honor." I wish I could shout amen to this italicised phrase. Many a man receives a christian burial as de fined by Mr. Miessler, not as "a public testimony of honor" but because he is "in good standing" in our church, as people say, and that, too, with no more godly traits than many "an unbelieving sinner." The Divino Master (whoso servants his ministry aro), went wherever sin and wretched humanity dwelt, continually doing good, not shunning tho unclean outcasts, and those who spent their lives "in sins, vices and infamy," wheth er in life or at death. Is the servant any greater than his Lord? Judge not lest thou be judged, John 7, 1-6. Mr. M. refers to the Masonic order in support of his "godless" theory. Whence do the Masonic order and other kindred institutions, the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, get their sublime and im pressive ceremonies lor tho burial of their dead, but' from tho christian re ligion? Is it any less a christian burial though no titled priest .conduct it? It may not be according to "churchly rites and ceremonies." Talmago says, we havo more "churchianity than Christian ity." Among the churches, he ought to know whereof he speaks. Perhaps the Rev. Miessler s church was one on which the Brooklyn divino turned his gun that Sabbath morning. I might ask "what is a christian?" Mr. M. defines his idea of one, but before I had interrogated the church organiza tions even in this city, I should become bewildered ere I had mastered their creeds, as witnessed in the episode at the close of tho late reviv.nl in this com munity. And yet I doubt if one of our Protestant ministers would have refused to bury "old Martin Heintz," not for the dead s sake, but to pour balm into the hearts of the living friends, they would not have given them a stone and called it bread. "A cup of cold water" (evi dently a menial act) had its reward, so in caring for the dead, that they be not neglected and unbnried. "Wheresoever thou findest tho dead, take them and bury them and I will give thee a place first in my resurrection," so wrote the prophet. Mr. M., in defining the kind of bnrial "a christian" should have, says: "And the christian church has at all times honored her dead by accompanying them to their final rest with various church! v rites and ceremonies, always, however, and above all things, with singing, prayers and preaching of tho word of God, and has laid their bodies in the bosom of the earth as a precious seed of God." We are now brought face to face with the real issue of Mr. Miessler's article. On February 4th last, Chris. Heintz, the twin brother of Martin, died. Mr. M. gave him, at his funeral, just such a burial as he has outlined "with christian churchly rites and ceremonies." Tho line drawn by Mr. M. between christian and heathen leaves Chris. Heintz with his brother Martin among "the heathen, infidels and godless people." Chris, was not so blunt and irreverent in speech as was Martin, so as to provoke harsh criticism, he nevertheless stood among the godless, making no pretensions to care for the ministry of the word, "but believed that he could dispense with the society of the church of Christ." Tho testimony of his life, as well as the sur viving members of the family, attest this statement. Yet Mr. M. says "To bury as christians those who have lived and died as un-christian and heathen is a public insult to God and His holy peo ple." And with still more positive assurance "To give manifest unbelievers a christian testimony of honor, is giving yourself the testimony of being a miser able hypocrite and liar." I hardly ex pected tho Rev. gentleman would give in such succinct and terse language so graphic portraiture f himself as he dis played at the funeral of Chris. Heintz, the twin brother of Martin. And now to give "mine opinion" of tho whole matter in controversy. Mar tin, by his harsh, unbridled utterances at times, had rubbed hard against this good Mr. Miessler, who held it as a grudge against this "departed infidel," who, let me say, was touched to the quick, by the searching appeal made at the house and grave of his twin brother Chris., and but three days before his death expressed shame to the writer, and reproached himself for his paet life, desiring no longer to livo now that his brother was dead. "Jeeus said, be meek and lowly For 'tis high to he a judsp. ITwe would be pare and holy. We most love without RrnuBe." As I have been quite liberal in my quotations from the Bev. H. Meissler'6 article, I will enow my appreciation t of his adroit method of shirking responsi bility, and let his closing paragraph be mine also. "I will make no application of the above to the case in question, but leave this to the reader." H. J. Hudson. For Sale.

"I have just recovered from a sec ond attack of tho grip this year," says Mr. James O. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, and I think with considerable suc cess, only being in bed a little over two days, against ten days for the first at tack.
