Georgo Thomazin and brother were in the city Friday on business. On their road in they saw that George Brown had two teams at work plowing, December 2d. Such is Nebraska, thus late in the 'fall." Platte Center Literary and Debating Society is quite an institution, and one of the associations very beneficial to a community, so long as the place of meeting is not made a rendezvous for idlers. With the Columbus canal ready, there is no reason why we should not have a cotton factory, even bettor than the one at Kearney. We are nearer tho great cotton market than Kearney or the mills east. Allen Vincent, an old-time frequent er of Columbus, was here Wednesday and Thursday last on business. Al though ho lives close by in Butler county, he very seldom gets to Columbus, these latter years. Charles Thrush of Colfax county was in the city Monday, shaking hands with old friends. He was one of tho eight persons who drove tho first stakes in the settlement of what is now known as Genoa, in 1856. A crowd consisting of members of tho Congregational church and other intimate friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Pickett, took carriages and gave them a big surprise party ct their country home, Wednesday evening. John Dawson was very unfortunate in buying a load of hogs a few weeks ago, on the street. They were afflicted with cholera of the worst kind. He had seventy-two hogs, among which these were placed, and has lost several already. A. Dussel did n good thing when finishing up the sewerage in the alley in tho rear of TnE Journal office. Instead of leaving the dirt as an inconvenient ridge over the pipe, he turned the hoso onto it, and thtiB reduced it to its former level. Tho semi-weekly Lincoln Journal and the Columbus Journal, both, when paid ono year in advance, $2.75. Sub scribe now, and get the benefit. The Lincoln paper is issued on Tuesdays and Fridays, and is almost as good as a daily to the busy man. Gus. Lockner of Omaha was in tho city Saturday. He is one of the mem bers of the coming legislature, holding a certificate of election, whose right to sit will bo contested. As thero aro 750 votes to overcome. Gus. has no appre hension as to the result. Columbus ladies believe in home patronage, as evidenced by the sales of hnnd-painted china Saturday afternoon last, nt the residence of Mrs. F. H. RtiBche. Miss Louise Bauer is as skill ful in oil painting and crayon as on china, and is thorough in all she undertakes. A. G. Weissert, commander-in-chief of tho G. A. K., has named Col. J. B. Meagher of this city as his aide-de-camp on his staff for tho state of Nebraska. As there is but one for the state, it is quite an honor for Comrade Meagher, and Baker post, of which he is a member. A cobweb ' social Friday evening given by tho ladies of the Presbyterian church at tho residence of A. Anderson drew a very largo crowd and furnished a great deal of amusement. Toys, empty sacks, cabbngo heads and other interest ing articles were found nt tho end of cobweb strings. Arrangements have been made for the next annual meeting of the Nebraska Press Association in this city, Feb. 16 and 17, 1893. The last meeting of the asso ciation was probably the best ever held in tho state, for business, and doubtless the next ono will be even an improve ment upon that. James Murry, on complaint of Ed ward Weidner, before Justice O'Brien, was put under arrest, charged with bur glary and the theft of a grip, articles of apparel, gold chain, mnBic box, razor, etc, valued at $24.25. The alleged theft took place November 27, and complaint was entered Monday. The whole systom of gathering funds for the running expenses of township, city, county and state rests upon the method of assessment. We print else where a well considered article on this subject, from tho Ho wells Journal, which we commend to the notico of legislators. There is no doubt but we are unequally taxed for state purposes. Mr. Tudor, of the Tudor Optical Co., Oculist, Optician and Specialist in Len ses, will be at the store of their agent, A. Heintz, Thursday Dec. 22d, "92. This is an opportunity not often afforded; if you think you have anything the matter with your eyes, or your glasses are not satis factory, consult Dr. Tudor. There will bo no charges for examination. it Look out for our regular weekly slaughter sales. You'll never know what you miss unless yoa come and see. This week we close out a line of corsets worth from 75 cts. to 1.00, at tho level price of 45 cts. A few odd sizes in those 19cts. and 40cts. kid gloves and sample underwear left from last week. Come and get them. F. H. Lamb & Co. The Grand Island Sugar Company has leased for two years fifty acres, more or lees, of Fritz Nieman's farm for the raising of beets. The company pays $5 per acre each season. This land is ad joining tho experimental farm, and the company known the quality of the beets they will get from this ground. "Five dollars is pretty good rental. Schuy ler Sun. Children Cry for 1 Pitcher' CMtorla. H. M. Window has instituted pro ceedings in contest against W. J. Irwin, in favor of seating L Sibbernsen, the opposing candidate. Mr. Sibbernsen declares that he has nothing to do with the contest and does not approve of it; that he had a good vote, &c It thero was any crooked work, no man supposes for a moment that Mr. Irwin had any thing to do with it. The stone man found three miles north of Chadron Oct. 10th last, is on exhibition in the city. It is six feet three inches in length, weighs 600 lbs., and looks like an Aztec turned to stone. A portion of it was forty feet under the surface, one knee and an elbow partly exposed, when found by Ed. Rosseter. You should surely see it. Tho owners have been offered $20,000 for it. Baker Post G. A. R., at their meeting Saturday night, elected the following officers for the ensuing year: R. L. Ros siter. Commander; W. H. Lewis, S. V.; John Burrell, J. V.; W. W. Rice. Sur geon; H. T. Spoerry, Q.; E. C. Marrow, O. D.; E. D. Fitzpatrick, J. R Meagher and H. T. Spoerry, trustees; W. W. Rico and W. H. Lewis, delegates to annual encampment; Rev. Leedom and Mr. Har rington, alternates. In another place in today's Journal will bo found a displayed advertisement of the Columbus State Bank which con tains a suggestion that may be of im mense value to yon. The Savings Bank Safe is n handsome thing and every hourehold would find profit in having one of them around. In 1891, tho amount on deposit with savings' banks equaled $1,654,826,112; of their loans, investments and cash on hand, $1,824,796,594. Sup pose we all swell the amount for '93. The Ancient Order of United Work men organized a lodge here Tuesday of last week, with the following officers: Dr. T. R Clark, P. M. W.; E. Pohl, M. W.; J.G. HigginB, Foreman; Geo. Spear, Recorder; W. T. Notestein, Financier; Otto Heuer, Overseer; W. H. Lewis, Receiver; Henry Hunteman, Guide. Tho lodge starts out with a goodly number, -as well it may, because of all the benefi ciary orders, it stands in the front rank, and is one of the best in every respect. . At the meeting of the city council Friday night J. R North's resignation as supervisor was accepted, and R H. Henry appointed in his place. Mr. Elias and Mr. Dietritch spoke against the occupation tax. Tho contract for cer tain sidewalks was let to Charles Miner at 65 cents a foot linear measure for sidewalks 10 feet wide, and 19 cents for those 4 feet wide. A number of bills were allowed, and all the crew were thankful for the opportunity to adjourn before midnight. A determined effort should bo made by Columbus business men to draw trade from a greater distance than is now being done, by offering special inducements in the way of prices on large amounts to all comers on equal terms. The Journal is aware that this line of business has been carried on right along, in the ordi nary course of trade, but it seems that special attention to it would give excel lent results. It certainly is worth a trial. One idea, well developed, haB often been as tho acorn producing an immense forest, bringing prosperity to him who uses it. Some of the older readers of The Journal still retain interest in the wel fare of the Pawnee tribe of Indians, which was formerly located on the lands now known as Nance county, with their rude abodes at Genoa. Years ago they ceded these lands to the government, and removed to the Indian Territory. They have again entered into an agreement with the government by which they con cede the residue of 283,020 acres, after they shall have taken therefrom their allotments, receiving $1.25 an aero for their surplus lands. Tho government pledges itself to continue tho annuity of $30,000. Greieen Bros. & Co. havo moyed their immense stocks of boota, shoes and clothing into their handsome, commodi ous new brick building just completed. Although large and two etories, there is not room enough yet for their increasing business. It is not out of tho way to call the attention of merchants to the hand some oak counters and shelving, the work of Hunteman Bros, of this city. The new building is a model in every re spect, and the firm, one of the solidest in the city, deserve tho thanks of all Eroperty owners for this addition to the andsome structures of the metropolis of Platte county. Albion is somewhat excited over the situation, which the News pictures thus: "Babe" Lidell,one of Albion's druggists, was "pulled" Tuesday and his store searched. Whiskey, wine, alcohol and beer was found in generous quantities; and Sheriff Farris has his jail fairly well stocked with these kinds of goods. Mr. L. is the second man arrested within a few days, and yet the work is not fin ished, probably. If intelligent men will break the known laws of the state and city, they run their own risk. If a busi ness will not pny without running con trary to law, why not givo it up and engage in something in which the profits are better and the risk less?" C. D. Murphy of Humphrey was in tho city Thursday on business. Mr. Murphy was ono of tho candidates for supervisor who was not re-eleclod. Al though we are not acquainted with Mr. Shoemaker, bis opponent and supervisor elect," we must say that Mr. Murphy's place on the board will be hard to fill. Ho looked after county matters tho same as he does after his own, carefully, con scientiously and fully, and, so far as we ever saw, ho knew tho county's rights, and maintained his views by argument, and by strenuously insisting for what he regarded as right, against any odds of numbers. We could hope that Mr. Shoe maker may provo as capable aB his predecessor. Two boys of Madison named Ridgely Wagner and Ambrose Malone, were late for school Monday week and thought to take a near cut across Taylor creek to North Side school house. The ice was not strong enough and they went down where the water was fifteen feet deep, and were drowned. The body of Malone wsb found standing straight up in the water with his head beneath the ice, and not more than two feet from where he went in. Says the Chronicle "Tenderly the little bodies vera lifted by kindly hands and carried to their homes homes that they had left but a short hal' hour before in all the joyousness, health and lively animal Bpirits of strong, growing boys, but how sad tho home-bringing." On Thnrsday night last a party of Sons of Veterans consisting of Messrs. H. B. Reed, A. E. Searles, Frank Wurde man, Bert. Galley, Bert. Morton, Bert Coolidge, Pearl McCoy, Charles Wilson, and Mr. Leonard, accompanied Col. P. A. Barrows from here to Bellwood to help master in & new camp of the order at Bellwood. There are fifteen oharter members, and the camp is named after the commander of the G. A. R post at that place Bowden. The boys took over a stack of anna, and also helped, with ten Sons from David City, to form a temporary drum corps. They returned ct 2 o'clock Friday morning and report a pleasant time. CoL Barrows went to Clarke Friday night,on business of the order. Mr. and Mrs. Boge Hines met with a sad death in their family Sunday, by the poisoning of their little child. The child got hold of a bottle of medicine that had been prepared for an injection and took a 6 wallow; as soon as the parents niade tho discovery, they at onoe set to work to get the medicine out of the child's mouth, thinking it had not swallowed any, and rested easy as the child con tinued to play. They were visiting at Mr. TimmB at the time and when at din ner they noticed the child had a drowsy appearance. They at once started for home, at the same time sending for Dr. French, who only arrived in time to see the little sufferer die. It was a sad acci dent, and the sorrowing uaranta have tho 1 sympathy of alL David City Tribune. PERSONAL. Miss Anna Hoehen spent Sunday at home. Miss Louisa Bauer was in Genoa tho first of this week. B. Fuller made a trip to Fremont Thursday on business. F. M. Cookingham, esq., of Humph rey, was in the city Monday. John Maher of Chadrou has beeu vis iting hiB parents near Platto Center. Miss Eulala Rickly returned home Monday from a week's visit in Omaha. Miss Hattie Kluver has returned after a two weeks' visit with friends in the country. John C. McMahon came up from Lin coln Friday, and visited with his family over Sunday. Mrs. P. W. Beerbowor returned Fri day from an extended visit to relatives in Philadelphia. Peter Duffy of Lindsay visited tho family of brother, B. B., from Tuesday to Thursday of last week. Mrs. J. W. Early and son Ed. returned Fridav from several months' visit in Arkansas and other states south. Octavus Darusha of Minnesota, stop ped off to visit Grandfather and Grand mother McFarland, Saturday nnd Sun day, on his way to his father's in Col orado. Harry Ryder, a former resident here, and nephew of W. O. Pugsley of Genoa, has been visiting his friend, John Daw son, west of this city a few waeks, re turning to his home in Colorado Springs yesterday. Blodgett v. Uerbcr. Jared O. Blodgett, candidate for super visor in Butler township at the recent election has brought a contest suit be fore his honor, Judge Hensley of the county court, against Jacob Gerber, to whom was issued tho certificate of elec tion, setting forth the grounds of contest, substantially as follows: 1st. Malconduct m that the judges received and deposited ballots not signed bv two of the judges of election; that Gerber was one of the judges of election and that ho electioneered nnd solicited votes within the railing of the polling place and within 100 feet of tho booth and the polling place. 2nd. That Gerber gavo and offered beer and whisky to voters of said town ship to procure his election. 3rd. That Gerber, at tho time of said election, was ineligible to tho office of supervisor for the reason that he was one of tho judges of said election. 4th. That the judges did not keep the polls open aB required by law; the count of said votes was not publicly made, nor in the manner provided by law, but was made privatelv and behind closed doors. and tho judges refused to permit the contestant or any other person to bo present during the counting or canvass ing of tho votes. 5th. That the voles, properly counted, would show a majority in favor of the contestant, Blodgett, instead of for the incumbent, Gerber. The caso is set for hearing the first Monday in January. Omaha proposes to tap the Platte river near Fremont and construct a water-way to within six miles of tho bus iness center of the metropolis, reaching the latter point at an altitude of 169 feet; there tho power to be used to turn dyna mos and thence transmitted to any part of the city. The canal will be seventy feet wide at the top, fifty feet wide at the bottom, and ten feet deep, and fur nish a power of 20,000 horses. Minne apolis develops only 16,000 horse power at low water, and its users are f roouently compelled to resort to steam. The cost of the proposed canal is estimated al oiifa and a half to two million dollars. This immenso project of Omaha capitalists will not. in the least, interfere with the Columbus project on a much smaller scale. One littlo paragraph in the Bee's account iB worthy of reproduction for the benefit of our readers, the same rela tive advantages accruing right here in in Columbus: "Tho projectors aro con fident that there would be no difficulty in selling all the power that they conla furnish, even after tho canal was enlarg ed to its fullest capacity, as it would offer an attraction to manufacturing en terprises all over the country that could be offered by no other city, and they count that it will do more to build up Omaha in five years than could other wise be tho case in a quarter of a century." Thposoyhy. Whatever maybe thought of what is commonly called "the now religion." it is engaging the attention of thousands who had been inclined away from the beliefs and practices of orthodox people. Mrs. Besant, certainly ono of the most remarkable women of our time, will lec ture at Sioux City, Dec. 17, subject. "Evolution of Man from tho Auimal to tho Divine"; at Omaha, Dec. 18, "Labor Strifes in tho Light of Theosophy"; same place, Dec. 19, "Outlines of Theosophy." Her experience has been a varied one. Although she was brought up in the English church aud married u clergy man, tho common beliefs wero not hers, she holding that true religion is in deed and aspiration and not in belief. Her life-work has been with the poor and for the poor, and her earnestness led to her election on the London School Board, where she could have better opportunity for doing effective work. Her literary work is incessant, but all her earnings aside from that needed for food and clothing, go to tho causes she has bo much at heart. She will doubtless lecture to large audiences. tatter List. List of tetters remaining in the post office at Columbus, Nebraska, for the week ending Dec. 6, 1892: W. W. Wheeler. Jack Bewell.

The Lincoln Journal is issued Tuesdays and Fridays, and will give you a mass of news that yon cannot hope to equal anywhero for tho money. Both for $2.75. Considerable complaint comes to The Journal against- a habit, which seems to lie prevalent with a number of boys in the city, of throwing stones through windows into buildings unoccu pied for the time. The very best plan i3 for tho boys to mend their way the next is to catch them in tho act and adminis ter the proper iranishment. bnt tha first 'iaaltogaOiarttaUtterway. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. A Tax Paying Citizen Rises to Say a Few Words ost in Sleeting. Ed. Journal: I have a few things ou my mind, and I feel that, like the Qua kers, as tho spirit moves me, I must speak. It would be well for others, I think, to do tho same, and not only speck out in meeting, but also get together as citizens and do something for building up the city. Of course we know, all of us, that our improvements, in the way of buildings for residence and business purposes, have been very creditable, especially for the last three or four years, and it looks as though wo had been doing about all that each of us could do and find profita ble, and that is just whore what I am about to say, comes in. We havo no very weal thy men I mean compared with the largo cities of the country and must, in matters of public improvement, depend upon tho combined surplus capital of many individuals, or else seek capital from tho outsido to come hero for investment. My thought ib mat. mo surplus nome capital is a quantity small enough to be left out of tho calculation, except as a starter. Any intelligent man who has looked over our local situation has seen at a glance that wo havo hero as good a water power as can be found in the state of Nebraska nono better, as tho strong, steady, constant current of the Loup shows, all tho year round, and what I wish to urge is that, as citizens, wo go to work, and put this power in shape for use. It is no new proposition. It has been declared foasiblo by every engineer that has ever tried a level in tho neigh borhood, and it is something that our homo capital could manage. There is no use talking to the men hero who know what a power we could set in motion, about what manufacturing plants could find here profitable work they nil know that eastern capital is con stantly seeking investment in tho west, and that thero aro enough industries which could be named nt once by every thinking citizen, tho establishment of which as factors in building up the town, would justify the outlay made in getting our immense water power ready for use. There could not, in tho very naturo of things, be a particle of doubt about the matter, and once get this solid (yet over flowing) basis for tho future prosperity of this city, and we can all work with enthusiasm, and have something to look forward to, for every dollar that we put into city lots and permanent improve ments upon tho samo will bear a good round per cent of increase B. K. B. CHARGED WITH MURDER. Two Gamblers of South Omaha Arrested ou Suspicion of Mnrdcring Mayor 31illcr. The afternoon or evening of October 4th, last, Mayor C. P. Miller of South Omaha, (formerly a resident of this city, and wnilo hero, express agent at the U. P. depot), was found in the weeds near Eight and Dodgo streets with a bullet hole in his head, his face covered with blood and a revolver laying closo by his side. Ho was unconscious from "that time until 4 o'clock Oct. 5th, when ho died. Tho theory of suicide was started, but Mr. Miller's friends could not believe in that method of explaining his death. He was a very active member of tho A. P. A. association, and the ardent adher ents of that order could listen to but one' theory. Other people thought they could see in tho offico of mayor and then recent action of Mr. Miller therein sufficient, at least, to raiso the suspicion that his death had been brought about by some party or parties interested in the business of gambling in South Omaha. It seems that this last theory is the one tho officers havo followed in tho work they have done, and on Tuesdsy of last week. Dick Berlin and Charle3 Hiivs. two South Omaha gamblers, were arrest ed by officers of the law, Mrs. Miller signing the complaint. After the warrant was read to Berlin ho broke down completely, saying: "Aly God, man, I know nothing" obout it! Miller? Not in connection with Mnvor Miller's death is it?" Mrs. Berlin was completely prostrated, says the Bee, by tho news, broken to her by her husband. Hays, when arrested, was stolid, and didn't show tho least surprise or fear. The two men aro said to answer tho description of Miller's companions on the day his body was found. The detectives traced Miller's move ments from tho time he left South Omaha to within a fow hours of the time he was found shot, and tho verdict of the coro ner's jury was that Miller came to his death by a pistol shot fired by unknown hands.

Tho winter term of our school com menced last Monday, Mr. W. E. Tabor, teacher. Revs. Cossairt and Cox of Battle Creek, Neb., are assisting Rev.Elwell in a eeries of meetings.

Mr. Rolf has finished his corn husking and is said to have tho largest amount of corn in one pile ever seen on a farm hereabouts. A few of our other neigh bors have finished, or expect to this week. Our moBt heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved family of our friend, Mr. R G. Hurd. Death has been 0 familiar visitor to tho family in the past few months, and we feel afflicted in their grief. May the "God of all comfort" be with them, for human sympathy, how ever deep, does not reach the heart in Buch scenes. We have had a book agent around hero lately selling school snpplies and ency clopedias. She sells lots of books. She is a good 8gent. She can stretch tho truth lo tho greatest length of any ono we ever saw, indeed it reaches from one district to another, follows close on her heels, but just fast enough for her to be "so near and yet bo far" off, that it does sot catoh her till she is out of sight.
