sidewalks 10 feet wide, and 19 cents for
those 4 feet wide. A number of bills

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

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

Coolidge, Pearl McCoy, Charles Wilson,

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.

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."

Election of officers,
Louiac Gutherie, Seo'y.
Every day is adding to our list of
subscribers, but there is yet plenty of
room for more. Wo give you now, The
Journal and the Lincoln Semi-weekly
Journal, both, ono year, when paid in
advance, for $2.75. Subscription can
begin at any time. Now is the time to
subscribe. 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

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.

py recipients of a surprise last Monday

beautiful home and enjoyed themselves

Rvmdler.
Palestine.
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. They are stopping with tho
postmaster.
Mft. Grimawood of Boono was a guest
at the Palestino House a week ago Sun
day, and spoke in the Baptist church in
the morning.
Rev. W. G. Evans of Grand Island
preached last Saudav morning and even
ing at the church. He, too, stayed with
the postmaster.
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.

Thero is no danger from whooping '
cough when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is freely given. It liquefies the
tough, tenacious mucus and aids in ita
expectoration. It also lessens the se

of coughing, and insures a speedy re

in giving it to children or babies, as it
