The diplomas of North Nebraska
Normal College are honored by the best

Plummer Plath last week began
pulling up the well tubes at the city

that the city got water at all.

J. M. Gondring, esq., of this city is
being mentioned as the probable demo
cratic candidate for state senator of the
Platte-Colfax district. Mr. Gondring is
not recognized as a "machine politician,"

through the gauntlet, would make a
tenacious advocate for his views, and
would be sure to be heard in every cor
ner of the senate chamber.
J. H. Byrnes, the wide-awake young
man who represents Columbus town

is much talked of as a candidate for the

to be named, but he stands we with
his party friends, and it will not do to
under estimate his strength.
Gen. J. B. Weaver, the independent
candidate for president, passed through

him of the reception he would have re

that he had stopped off at Kearney.
From every direction comes good
news concerning winter wheat in Ne
braska. Plow the ground and pulverize
it well, in August "or early September,
sow the seed in September with a drill
that rolls the soil tight against the
grains of wheat, gives, according to all
accounts, the best yield, which in scores
of cases runs from 20 to 52 bushels to
acre. We believe that nothing will pay
farmers better.
A long-felt want in this city has
been a Btore where families having a
surplus of articles stowed away in the
garret or continually in the way below
stairs could dispose of the same. I have
opened just such a place on Eleventh
street, and am prepared to purchase ar
ticles of all kinds usually found in a
second-hand store. Will call at your
house on receipt of request by mail or
otherwise. John Eusden. 2t
A very heavy rain here Monday
morning and many remarked that a
picnic beats Melbourne all hollow for
bringing rain. But isnt it wonderful
that, no matter what the weather, there
will always be objectors. This time, "it
was too late for the corn," "it ought to
have come weeks ago," eta, but all
the same, the rain was magnificent, and
will bo good for all that is now growing,
and for the crops another year.
The capitol city has at last a pleas
ure and health resort that seems to fill
'a long-felt want." It is the Nebraska
Salt Lake, two miles long and one mile
wide, with a steamer capable of carrying
five hundred people, and which makes
regular trips around the lake. Besides
this, there are sail boats, row boats, a
toboggan slide, bathing privileges and
free "music by the band." Thr Jour
nal acknowledges the receipt of a season
ticket. It we can find time, we shall
certainly brave the dangers of that
briny deep in the near future.
The Nebraska Fiah commission

it is possible the fish will be delivered to

when they are shipped by express the
applicant will be expected to pay ex
press charges, and return the empty can
to the commission, charges prepaid.

Mr. Farley has given ns a paper con
taining the narrative of Rev. John Nouri,
who claims to have found Noah's ark,
still resting under the snow on the
summit of Mount Ararat, at a height of
about 18,000 feet above the sea level.
He says it was on the 25th of April, at
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The
ark stands over 300 yards long and fully
100 feet high. A roof had evidently
rounded and covered it, but the snow
had crashed much of it in, and three
fourths of it was covered and filled with
snow. His companions examined it
critically, and all agreed that it is the
ark described in scripture.

the unceasing warnings of the press.
Bny of your local dealer every time. He

to do nothing else. The swindling
confidence man don't intend to come

Just as we close our forms, we hear
of the death, Monday night, of J. S.
Henrich, of the vicinity of Platte Center,
of heart disease. The deceased was a
brother of P. W. Henrich and son of
Rev. A. Henrich; a former resident of
this county, he removed years ago to
Denver, where he engaged in business,
and where, we believe, through to strict
attention to business, he lost his health,
returning here the past year, hoping by
a life of out-of-doors on the farm, to re
gain a measure of health. The many
friends of the family extend their sympa
thy to the sorrowing father, brothers and
sisters. It is expected that the funeral
will take place from the residence in
Burrows twp., five miles west of Platte
Center.
Our old friend, John H. Eley of
West Hill, has taken Thr Journal for
seventeen years, and, writing to renew
his subscription, says, among other
things, that some years ago he took ex
ceptions to Thr Journal's conservatism,
but he has since found that Thr Jour
nal was right and he was wrong. We
believe in proving all things, and hold
ing fast to that which is good, and while
we know that all things human partake
of the nature of men, general principles
which are founded on truth should be
the guides of our conduct, and for the
principles of political economy and an
all-around effective party for the good
of the country and all classes in it, we
believe there is none to compare with
the republican party, and all we have to
say is to any other, prove your worthi
ness by deeds of benefit such as have
characterized the republican party. Let
all political parties emulate each other
in working for the good of our common
country.
The Maennerchor, with a number of
their friends and families, were at
Grand Island Sunday and we are told
greatly enjoyed themselves. The crowd
of three hundred and more started from
here at 7:30 a. m., on the B. & M, taking
in fifty at David City, 30 at Ulysses, 100
at Seward, a number at York, a few at
Auburn, in all about 500 people when
they reached Grand Island, 113 miles
away, at 1230. They immediately re
paired to Lange's Park, where they held
their concerts and ate their lunch, going
from there at 6 p. m., to Liederkranz
hall, where the young folks held a short
dance. At 8 p. m., they started for the
return trip, reaching Columbus at
1 o'clock Monday morning. The Cornet
Band, which accompanied, added greatly
to the enjoyment of the occasion. There
was no lack of music, as besides our band
and the Maennerchor, were similar
organizations of Grand Island, who
rendered a number of choice selections.
The region of country around Grand
Island is parched, the grass looking red,
and in many places the ground bare.
At the meeting of the republican
club Monday evening at the Engine
House hall there were quite a number
of the faithful present, notwithstanding
the joking remark of a democrat that
two chairs and a cracker box would be
sufficient seating capacity for those
who should be present. The club al
ready has a membership of ninety, with
scarcely an effort to swell its numbers.
The main work of the evening was the
selection of delegates to the state con
vention of the republican league at
Grand Island, to be held next Wednes
day. The following were chosen: C. J.
Garlow, C. H. Sheldon, Gus G. Becher,
Henry Ragatz and W. A. McAllister,
with alternates, Carl Kramer, George
Scott, Bert Arnold, Louis Zinneckerand
J. G. Pollock. Several members of the
club, being called on, made remarks in
the interest of the club all scoring
good points for the policy of the repub
lican party. On motion of J. G. Pollock,
C. H. Sheldon was added to the execu
tive committee already serving. The
drum corps of the Sons of Veterans
were out and favored the club with some
stirring martial music. The club will
doubtless organize a marching force
with uniform, torches, music, etc They
meet again next Monday at the same
place, and everybody is invited.
The Journal takes pride in the ad
vancement of Columbus people, at home
and abroad, and rejoices when chronic
ling progress. A recent number of the
Hamilton Herald, published in Skagit
Co., Washington, announces the fact
that Maynard P. Hurd, who, a few years
ago, started in the practice of law here,
has been nominated by the republicans
as their candidate for the legislature.
In the speech which placed his name be
fore the convention, Maynard was called
"the young Demosthenes" and it was
said of him that he is "an advocate of
marked ability, a man of the people, and
such an exponent of ideas as will make
him a material factor in the represent
ative body of our state." The editor re
marks that Mr. Hurd was not a candi
date for that or any other office, but
that "his peculiar fitness singled him
out for the legislature nomination. The
same fitness will contribute to his sup
port all down through the campaign,
and will strengthen him for service in
the legislative halls." We can say to
our republican friends that they will
find Mr. Hurd with the qualifications
which go to make the model legislator:
he will be true to his constituents and
to himself; he will know what is going
on, and be alert, watchful, and eager to
be at the front of the contest; he will
have a pardonable pride in doing his full
duty to the best of his ability, and what
the measure of this may be in the legis
lature, those who come in contact with
him, either in friendly consultation or
opposing argument, will best be able to
judge. All of Mr. Hurd'e acquaintances
here expect to hear wall of him.
