There has been considerable inquiry for farm land during the past week, and some sales made. Prices are steady with an upward tendency as the good season advances. A patron of Tiik Journal wishes us to warn our readers against an umbrella mender who, he says, gets umbrellas for the purpose of repairing them, and faite to return them. The base-ball game Saturday after noon between the printers and bankers resulted (J to 3 in favor of the former.

Dr. and Mrs; Voss returned Satur day from their ten days' sojourn south. The crops in that direction look well, but there will be comparatively little fruit in Kansas. Plenty of peaches in southern Missouri. John Tannahill came down from Genoa Saturday, returning Monday uooli. His family will move to the new home Friday next John says that while they didn't have so much rain as we have had here of late, crops are looking well.

Protect your property by taking a "tornado policy" of H. J. Hud son, office on Olive street, opposite Me ridian hotel. tf Fred. Stenger has lost some six teen head of cattle lately by a somewhat mysterious complaint. The beasts seem to go crazy, and the malady proves fatal in from twelve to ninety-six hours. He believes that the continued very hot weather had much to do with it. Brodfnehrer thinks that Dr. Haugh awout should have some credit at least for the rain of Wednesday. He took a sudden notion that he wonld start in as a rain-bringer, and getting his gun, he discharged it into the atmosphere, and lo! in a few minutes came the abundant rain. If you are troubled with rheuma tism or a lame back, bind on over the seat of pain a piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Yon will 1)0 surprised at the prompt relief it affords. SO cent bottles for sale by C. E. Pollock v Co. and Dr. Heintz, drug gists, tf "Nero" died Tuesday night of last week. He was only fifteen years old, but had gained a great many friends by hiB gentle disposition and sensible con duct. Though only a four-footed beast, his life contained suggestions to bipeds, and Mayor Schnpbach and family have lost a faithful friend. Rheumatism Cured in a Oay. "Mys tic Cure" for Rheumatism and Neuralgia radically cures in 1 to 3 days. Its action upon the system is remarkable and mys terious. It removes at once the cause and the disease immediately disappears. The first dose greatly benefits, 75 cents. Sold by A. Heintz, druggist, Colum bus, Neb. 14-y The regular weather clerk got in his work last WTednesday before Melbourne had his contracts signed, and so the people who wera negotiating were saved the outlay, but appearances were such that if Melbourne had got started here Wednesday morning, with many persons he would have lieen given the credit of bringing the rain. On Wednesday last, D. F. Davis an nounced in the columns of the Telegram that having considered the matter thor oughly, he had fully decided that the support given the daily edition was not strong enough to justify its continuance; that in the three years of its existence, it had not added one cent to his income. He continues the publication of the weekly. The game of base ball Sunday after noon at the fair grounds between the J. A. Barber & Co.'s of this city and the Platte Center nine was a very interest ing and hotly-contested game, resulting in a victory for the latter. Following is the score by innings: 123456789 Platte Center 00410000 x 5 J.A.Barber &Co.'s. 00100000 12 The new beef house erected by the Hammond company at South Omaha is completed. It is of brick, six stories high, and 144x175 feet. The company will have facilities for killing 1,200 beeves a day, and this house is said to be the most complete and best arranged of any in the country. By Sept. 1st, this company will be prepared for handling at South Omaha each day 1,200 cattle, 3,000 hogs and 1,000 sheep, so says the Bee, and all Nebraska is in terested in the growth of her great stock market. Patrick Murray took down to Omaha Thursday night a car load of fat hogs, getting for them $5.50 a hundred. He says that the corn in the region of Co lumbus is very much better than be tween North Bend and Elkhorn, which he regards as good as the best land in Nebraska. When we remarked that they had to contend against too much water earlier in the season, he replied that he thought the trouble was 'they hadnt worked their land enough during the dry time. The drier the weather, the more work ought to be done on corn land. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. The editor of the Genoa Banner ran against a man and a republican the other day in the person of H. A. Saunders,-of Woodville, and seems to have got the worst of any argument that took place, judging by the "racket" that he makes in his paper. It is no wonder that Brer. Thompson thinks Mr. Saunders "is nat urally smart," as he says, and he doubt less found also that he had not lived in the wc rid several years to no purpose, but had acquired a fund of information which tallies well with his natural smartness. The editor who begins a meanly personal quarter-column of slush with such a lie as this sentence evident ly needs to be born again several times: "The Rep-Demo, press of the country declare that the farmer has no brains, is not intelligent and is not fit for any thing but follow the plow." We quote it exactly as we find it in Brer. Thomp son's paper, and we judge that if he will lie about republican editors he will lie about the rank and file of the party. WTe don't doubt but that our old friend, H. A. Saunders, has lieen misrepresent ed by the Banner. That was a very interesting write-up of the life of Spencer Campbell, (col ored), that was published in last Satur day's Telegram, but as nearly as we can learn, no coffin was purchased for the body, he didn't die at the hospital, and he went to Omaha. It was reported that he had died Friday morning, but Tun Journal gnesses that the truth is ho went to Omaha for more treatment by the Chinese doctor. "Spencer" has been an unique figure in this city for a number of years, earning a somewhat precarions-living, and hanging on to the selvage, but he may be good for many moons yet, and, in his absence, we enter a protest against publishing his obituary until more definite information is ob tained. The August number of the Review of Reviews is fully as interesting as any of its predecessors. No one can appre-' ciate the value of this periodical without an examination. It is all that its name implies, besides being a magazine, as good as the best, on its own account. This number contains a character sketch and portrait of G rover Cleveland, ex president and democratic candidate for the presidency. An article that will attract wide attention is a sharp attack, by a prominent American Catholic edi tor, who declares that within a certain wing of the Catholic church there has been and is a most unworthy conspiracy to prevent the Americanization of Eu ropean emigrants to this country. The Campbell University Shorthand Department is leading the west. Com plete course of shorthand and book keeping, time unlimited, for only $30.00. Board $1.50 to $2.00 per week. A mas sive stone building with 25 rooms equipped with all the modern improve ments. Competition challenged, satis faction guaranteed, correspondence so licited, instruction thorough, practical, modern. Students successful in secur ing ositions. Thousands of old stu dents and hundreds of graduates from this institution are scattered all over the United States doing well. Next school year opens September 0. For special circular write W. D. Kuhn, Holton, Kansas. The Telegram says that Secretary Rusk desires to have his force in condi tion to "suspect" a much larger number of carcasses than last season, evidently intending to say "inspect;" by the way, it is encouraging to note that democrat ic papers are beginning to do justice to Secretary Rusk when they publish the estimate that the farmers of the country will receive a cent a pound more for hogs marketed this year than if there were no inspection, and that the mar kets of Denmark, Germany, Austria, France, Spain and Italy have been opened to inspected pork the laBt year, and that it requires a large quantity to supply them. The old boys of Baker Post G. A. R, will not probably attend the national encampment at Washington as a post, but it will be interesting perhaps, to them and to other Platte county com rades to know that the hospitalities of fered at Washington must be necessarily limited. One post at Boston has al ready registered n kick liecause that, while Boston furnished barracks free to all visiting posts, an offer of $175 for a house for headquarters for this post one week at Washington was refused. If you go to Washington take much money in your purse. "Dad." Hagel and "Dad." Nichols had quite an argument Monday as to their ability as marksmen, so they re paired to Lee Bennett's shooting gal lery to decide the controversy, both agreeing on Bennett as the judge. The gun was loaded and each took his shot, but the referee had to decide the con test a draw, as neither one of them hit the target, but missed the whole "shooting match." The only damage reported so far is the extermination of one of Stonesifer's little kittens and a spring chicken for Mr. Wyatt. The Schuyler Sun says that: W. H. Sumner and wife, who have been travel ing in Europe and northern Africa the past year, will reach Boston this week; Frank Cech, living in Midland precinct threshed his eight acres of winter wheat this week and the yield was 268 bushels. This is an average of 33J4 bushels per acre and is a record we think cannot be beaten. It shows that raising winter wheat can be made profitable; Robert B. McPherson and Miss Leora A. Pitser of Kimbal, Neb., were married at Chey enne, Wyo., July 20. Everybody who has the interest of Columbus at heart is sorry that Mr. Davis was compelled to discontinue the publication of the daily. It would have been far more gratifying had the ele ments demanded and supported a rival daily. While it continued, about three years, the Telegram was a credit to the city, and for news and general ability was not excelled by any publication of similar environments in the state. John Sudal, an aged man over 70 years old, languishes in jail, for lack of bail, to answer the charge of criminal assault on the. person of Josephine Hajdo, a young girl of nine. The assault .was made on the 25th nit. at Duncan, the details of testimony too disgusting for print. The hearing was held before Judge Hudson last Wed nesday. Otis Corbett and J. R. Hamilton started from Denver by boat Jane 27th, and arrived here Monday, bound for New Orleans. They struck 2G irrigating dams on the way, bat report fair sailing iatttrly. - ... .- -v- PEESONAL. "Schny" Clark is down from Genoa.--Mrs. W. T. Rickly was in Omaha over Sunday. Gus. G.'Becher was in Platte Center Saturday. W. F. Beckett of Genoa was in town yesterday. E. A. Gerrard of Monroe was fn town Thursday. William Eimers of Humphrey was in the city Friday. J. M. Macfarland was up from Omaha a couple of days last week. Mrs. J. H. Watts of Wattsville, was in the city Monday on business. George L. McKelvey of Fullerton wes a Columbus visitor Thursday. Charles Stonesifer and son Went to Omaha yesterday on business. Miss Ida Guthrie returned home Sat urday. She will attend the institute. Miss Minnie McMahon went to Oma ha Monday to visit about two months. W. M. Cornelius returned Friday from his visit to his old home in Pennsylvania. Miss Mary Cox has returned from a three weeks' visit in Missouri and Omaha. Mrs. R. C. Boyd went to Genoa Friday for a week's visit with the family of George Truman. Miss Clara Martin went to York Sat urday to spend the remainder of her vacation with her parents. F. W. Herrick returned Friday from New York, where he had been on pleas ure and business for alxnit a month. Miss Sybil Butler returned Saturday from Kansas City, Mo., where eho had been for some months, engaged as book keeper for a large establishment. Mr. and Mrs. Byron Dieffenbach started home to Harlem, Montana, Mon day, after several weeks' visit with rel atives and friends in this vicinity. Grandma Hays and her granddaughter Dora Davis, came down from Nance county Friday to visit relatives and friends, returning home yesterday. Mrs. R, Lewis returned to her home at Postville Saturday after a ten days' visit with the family of M. Watkina Miss Lizzie Watkins accompanied her. Prof, and Mrs. L. J. Cramer were surprised Friday evening by about forty of their friends coming to take posses sion of their home, to spend a pleasant ovening. It was a genuine surprise too. Prof, heard an unusual sound as of cattle in the yard, as he thought, and was about to go and chase them out when a rap was heard, and upon open ing the door the walks and yard were discovered to be full of human beings, instead of cattle. All the Prof, could say was: "Well, I don't know who you are, but yon are welcome." The .com pany was made up of members of the Chautauqua circle and their families. The evening was spent in playing games and a general good time had. Refresh ments were served, which all eyjoyed. Mr. Cramer expects to go this week to his new home at Montrose, Colo., Mrs. Cramer to follow later. The Journal expresses the general feeling of regret in this community, at the loss, even though (as we hope), it may prove temporary, of so wortbj' a couple, who are universally esteemed for their many good qualities. Mr. Cramer has been engaged to super intend the public schools at Montrose, and at the same time teach the high school. The citizens and school board there will 'find in him a gentleman at tending strictly to the business in hand, and the pupils under his charge can rest assured that they will have, at head quarters, a kind-hearted considerate friend, who will make their school-life pleasant while at the same time giving them incentive to learn, and training them how to think, as well as imparting information from his abundant store. All Nebraska shonld continue to be proud of the growth of her great stock market, South Omaha. Not much won der when yon come to think of it. The crops in Nebraska are nearly always good, which makes the Btate good feed ing ground, and, by the way, for this year there is no better promise any where. The Daily Stockman of Chicago opens its mouth, and its eyes, too, evi dently, in the following paragraph: "Receipts at South Omaha from Janu ary 1 to week ending Saturday, July 9, were a54,000 cattle, 927,378 hogs and 89,847 sheep. As compared with the corresponding time last year, this shows a gain of 98,499 cattle, 91,334 hogs and 17,078 sheep. This showing should be extremely gratifying to our charming neighbor in the west, and is proof con clusive that she is doing her duty by her live stock industry." Doubtless the promise of corn this season is greater in Nebraska than elsewhere in tho corn belt, and the rapid improvement at the great state's great stock market will probably keep right on. For mixed farming and stock-raising, Nebraska now stands at the head. Dr. E. Y. Haughawout is the oldest as well as the most practical dentist in Platte county, having three years' practice in Omaha and six in Columbus. He makes a specialty of rendering all dental operations in a careful and easy manner. He inserts teeth without plate, all kinds of crowns and contour gold -fillings, and will in every case restore the beauty, shape and durability of the natural teeth. Dr. Haughawout has nine years' experience in all branches of dentistry, and if you desire a tooth ex tracted painlessly or a beautiful set of artificial teeth that fit your mouth or any dental operation performed in a superior manner, be sure to call at his dental parlors on Olive st., next door to Brodfuehrer's jewelry store. The lower story of The Journal block is now for rent. It comprises two rooms, which can be separate or together to suit lessee entire floor, 21x132 feet from Eleventh street to alley in the rear a very suitable building for a whole sale or retail grocery, a general mer chandise store, or an extensive steam laundry.

The golden haired little sonbxette,Hettie Bernard Chase, who will be seen here shortly, is making a tremendous hit in her baajo specialties, particularly noticeable being a quaint old negro plantation song entitled, "Carve Dat Melon," in which Miss Chase completely loses her identity and gives an imitation of the jolly darkey in such true southern style, that it com pletely upsets the theory that only male performers can properly imitate the pecu liar melodies and actions of the old-time colored minstrel. For an encore she sings " Pie, or Trouble in the Household,'.' which is by the same author as ' 'The Little Peach in an Orchard Grew," and equally catchy and tuneful. At the opera house, Wednesday even ing, August 3d. Cuanty Teachers Institute. The two weeks' term of the institute began Monday morning with a good attendance. Prof. L. H. Levio and Prof. J. M.

After a long dry hot season, the wea ther broke up on Wednesday with an unexpected thunder cloud, which sud denly developed from the southwest in the face of a bright unclouded sky. Some hours of rain followed. Tho corn, which had leen growing rapidly, but was getting near tho condition when continued heat would have been almost fatal, but now all tho fears that were disturbing people are dispersed. Sev eral pieces of oats are being cut. Though not heavy, they may bo said to be good estimated at about 40 bushels per acre, and 4 to Wx feet high.

The Misses Jones and Hanchett have gone to Columbus to be on hand at the institute Monday. Grain is being cut and is of good quality. The rain was a great blessing and very plentiful in some places. Dan. We want every mother to know that croup can be prevented. True croup never appears without a warning. The first symptom is hoarseness; then the child appears to have tasen a cold or a cold may havo accompanied the hoarse ness from the start. After that a pe culiar rough cough is developed, which is followed by the croup. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will prevent the attack. Even after a rough cough has appeared the disease may be prevented by using this remedy as directed. It has never been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent and $1 bottles for sale by C. E.
