Schupbach has started south on a business trip, expecting to go as far as New Orleans, and to be gone four or five weeks. Now is the time to subscribe for The Journal and the Semi-Weekly Lincoln Journal, both for 82 a year, when paid in advance. Wo did not learn at the time of our last issue that Mr. and Mrs. Byron Diff enbach had returned from Harlem, Mon tana, the Saturday previous. The Y. M. C. A are making prepa rations for a reception to be held in their rooms about the 1st of February, for the business men and clerks.

On the 21st of February, 2 p. m., at the court house, Sheriff Kavanaugh will offer for sale lots 4, 5 and 6, block 123, Columbus, to satisfy a judgment of 849.60. The 6th day of February, 10 o'clock, has been set for hearing the will of W. G. Mnller, deceased, at the county court, up-stairs, corner of Eleventh and Olive streets. Terrence Brady of Omaha was here over Sunday on his way to Denver, and expects to be back in about two weeks, when he will make a visit among his old friends. Caesar Ernst of the south side knows a good thing when he sees it, consequently will read The Journal and Lincoln Semi-weekly Journal the next year. The many friends of 0. P. Rinehard'a family will be interested to know that they have moved from Bern, to Holton, Kansas, where they have interests in a roller mill. T. F. Marshall has sold his farm of 80 acres to Elston & Newman for 835 an acre. Mr. Marshall does not yet know whether he will invest in Platte county land or go further west The best parental government is that which is effectual when the parent is out of sight, and this is the sort of control school teachers and city authori ties should seek to possess. Earl Pearsall represented the Bissel hose team of this city at the Kearney convention last week. The next tour nament is to be held at Chadron, and the next convention at Beatrice. A lady who had to travel back home about eight blocks the other day, for a key she had forgot, made the very wise observation that "one who has a light head must cultivate light heels. One lady of the committees appoint ed to solicit subscriptions for the Pro testant Hospital has already secured 8160. There seems to be no doubt but the new institution will be a "go." At the last meeting of the Platte County Agricultural Society D. Schup bach was elected president, H. M. Winslow vice president, R. H. Henry treasurer, G. G. Becher, secretary. Nebraska has a young lady in the person of Miss Schaffer of Beaver Cross ing, who is 15 years old, C feet, 3 inches in height, weighs 250 pounds, and wears a No. 10 shoe. She is growihg rapidly. Mr. Welch lectured Sunday evening in the Congregational church, and Mon day evening at the A. P. A. hall on Catholicism, and why he left the church. Both evenings there was not standing room. We learn that Hon. Guy C. Barnum is at Peoria, Hlinois, and that while there he will give considerable attention to the study of theosophy, in which system of theology Mr. Barnum is an ardent be liever. Information will be gladly received of the whereabouts of a young shepherd dog, seven months old, which left the premises of R. Kummer January 16th. Tho dog is black, with a little white on the breast 1 Now is the time to subscribe for The Journal and the Lincoln State Journal, semi-weekly, only 82 a year for both, when paid in advance. Begin any time, but before New Yoar's is an excel lent time to subscribe. W. H. Lewis of Columbus had a load of hogs on the market that brought him 81 ,700.88. The load consisted of seventy four head, or averaged 302 pounds. The top price, 87.60, was paid for them. South Omaha Tribune. Ed. Keuscher of Butler township has sold his farm of 240 acres to Julius Ernst for 832 an acre. Mr. K. will shortly start for a trip to California, Oregon and Washington, with a view to locating some timo in tho near future. Julius Ernst of Colfax county was in the city Saturday and gave The Jour nal office a call. He expects to leave the farm soon, and may possibly move to Columbus. If he does, he will be wel comed by a host of old friends. Married, Sunday, January 22, by Judge Hensley, Mr. John Bucher and Miss Eliza Zingg, all of this city, and the acquaintances of the couple who have joined hands for a life's journey will wish them God speed along their way. Parties interested in the opening of a public road commencing at the north east corner of section 3, town 20, range 1 west, and running southward a mile and a half should make their objections or call for damages on or before noon, March 18. Lute North returned Saturday from a meeting of the Trotting Horse Breed era' Association at Lincoln. The asso ciation has been formed into a stock company. The time and place for hold ing the spring races have not yet been determined. H. E. Scripture of Stanton county was in the city Monday on business, going home by way of Omaha. Mr. Scripture has control of a large body of land in Stanton county, and is engaged in raising stock and in farming on an extensive scale. The ladies' musicale met with Mrs. A. Heintz last Monday. Election of officers for the coming three months took place. Mrs. C. J. Garlow was chosen directress, Mrs. Tomlin vice di rectress, Mrs. McAllister treasurer and Miss Eulala Rickly secretary. The Fire Department elected the following officers Monday evening for the ensuing year: President J. N. Kil ian; vice president W. R. Notestein; treasurer, Louie Swartz; secretary, Burt Galley; chief, D. Smith; assistant chief, Earl Pearsall; janitor, A. Berger. Charles B. Evans, advance agent of Sundeen, the wonderful Swedish mind reader, was in the city Friday and Sat urday, making arrangements for his chief. A public, free exhibition will be given Friday evening, in front of Pol lock's drug store, where Snndeen's pow er will be shown. John Tannahill of the government Indian school at Genoa was in the city Thursday on his way to the agency of the Brule Sioux at Chamberlain, South Dakota, to get more pupils for govern ment tutelage. He returned Tuesday last from the Winnebagos with five young Indians for the school. John Meyers and James Sandisland, both formerly residents of this city and both old printers, have situations on the senate pay-roll at Lincoln, Johnnie as proof-reader, and "Sandy" in charge of the copy-hook. The Journal would feel like congratulating them largely, if they were making large money. The Capital National Bank of Lin coln has failed, being closed Sunday. The state treasurer was caught in the crash in the sum of 8250,000. State Treasurer Bartley is reported to have on his bond nearly all the banks in Lincoln, two of Fremont one of this city and a loan company of Omaha. Prof. Bror Sundeen, the great Swe dish mind reader, will be at the opera house in this city January 27 and 28. Go and see him and be convinced that he is all that is claimed for him, the most wonderful man living. His tests are all interesting and instructive. Hear the lecture on mind reading. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. The Protestant hospital project seems to be started for solid work. Seven churches have already signified their in tention to engage in the work of organi zation by appointing committees of con ference, and a meeting has been had. The membership fee has been fixed at 31, so that any who desire can take stock. There has been another question raised touching the resolution presented by Sup'r Speice at the last meeting of the County Board and that is whether Mr. Murphy has the legal right to draw pay as expert and as supervisor at one and the same time. Mr. Murphy seems to be a more or less important character. Banks are not allowed a profit for selling the World's Fair souvenir coins. The government coins 5,000,000 of them, for which it receives $2,500,000, paying about 32 cents for the silver in each of the coins. The Fair commissioners sell the coins at 81 apiece, thus adding to their fund two and a half million dollars. Action has been brought in the dis trict court by tho First National bank of Hastings against the First National and the Commercial of this city, and the Farmers' and Mechanics bank of Platte Center to recover on checks endorsed by A. M. Swartzendruver. There are likely to be several suits growing out of the matter. Elsewhere we print a paragraph from the Bellwood Gazette, and to which we call the attention of our grain buyers. If Bellwood dealers are really paying three cents a bushel more for corn than our buyers are, let us know it, and find out why it is. Is it possible that they get better rates of shipment from the railroads? A. M. Hamilton, from Cedar Rapids, was in Humphrey last week, and while here made arrangements to purchase the interest of M. Maher in the Granville House. It is likely that the transfer will be made in a few days S. E. Crane will go on the road as a postal clerk soon after March 1. Humphrey Democrat "Friend" should not seem, as The Journal knows he does not really, despise the "day of small things," aB for instance Monroe is a thriving village of the county, situated in a fertile country. and seems destined to out do towns of greater pretensions, and there seems no good reason to characterize it as of mush-room growth. Miss Kittie McKim, one of Platte county's bright young lady teachers, returned home Friday evening from a several months' visit with relatives at Topeka, Kansas. Her name, however, is no longer McKim, John Graham of Loup township having secured her for a life partner. They were married Tuesday of last week at Topeka. Mrs. McAllister died at her home in the western part of the city Saturday. She leaves a husband and nine children to mourn her loss. The youngest child is one month old. The family moved to this city the first of the year. The funeral services were held at the Catho lic church Sunday afternoon and the body interred in the Catholic cemetery. One evening last week about fifty pupils of the high school at Fullerton, accompanied by their teacher and his wife, made a party of skaters on the Loup, having a pleasant time. It is occas ions of this kind in which the real teach er makes himself acquainted with, and puts himself in sympathy with his pupils, and gains not only respect but love and admiration. Sheldon & Phillips, who own the forty-acre tract of land north of Mrs. Gottschalk's, expect to plat it into town lots next spring. There is no doubt bnt they will sell rapidly, as no part of it but is desirable for building sites. A road has been laid out extending M street northward to the new east-and-west road, and near the Columbus township hall. Columbus is bound to grow. Superintendent Backus of the Genoa Indian school was in the city Saturday. It is safe to say that the affairs of the school, the farm and the workshops, the improvements made in the way of build ings, and the added hundreds of pupils who have been induced to take advan tage of the facilities offered by the school, in all these Mr. Backus has un doubtedly excelled any of his prede cessors. Wednesday last P. M. Higgins of Colfax county was a welcome visitor at The Journal sanctum. He is one of the few republicans who has had the honor of representing the people of Colfax and Platte counties in the state senate. We judge that he finds his large farm inter ests more attractive and more congenial than an insight into the more or less crazy ambitions of politicians, and their intriguing for power and place. The Danvile, HI., Commercial of a late date, contains the following refer ence to a son of our townsman T. Baum gart The young man is nineteen years of age: "Fred. Baumgart, with Winslow & Steube, druggists, east Main street, passed an examination at Springfield on Wednesday last for diploma as a regis tered pharmacist, and was one of three persons who were successful in a class of fifteen. This is quite an honor." Every day is adding to our list of subscribers, but there is yet plenty of room for more. We give you now, The Journal and the Lincoln Semi-weekly Journal, both, one year, when paid in advance, for 82.00. 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 you cannot hope to equal anywhere for the money. Both for 82.00. W. Hardy has come through trouble enough to kill a dozen ordinary men, but he has indomitable pluck and perse verence. He has a wife and two children dependent upon him, but his almost miraculous escape from death by falling into a deep well, has left him so crippled up that he will probably never be able to do bard work. A worthy comrade of the G. A. R, perhaps some one can suggest a means of livelihood suited to his abilities. Edwin Hoare.the farmer at the gov ernment Indian industrial school, was in the city between trains Friday, having been at his farm near Platte Center. He tells us that it is wonderful how the country everywhere in Nebraska is thriv ing and improving. In his old neigh borhood, Ed. Higgins is providing a nice, 81,500 house, Joseph Sewler is hauling stone for a new dwelling and Albert Russell is looking to a similar improvement next spring. We notice that masquerade parties are more in vogue than usual this win ter. There is something about these entertainments that gives them more than ordinary zest. It must be that their attractiveness is owing to the ex pectations and to the surprises. The sudden happening of the unexpected if this could always be secured, in litera ture, sermon, song and dance, how interesting these would be! Don't for get the Firemen's anniversary ball. W. Hardy, who fell down a deep well in Colfax county last summer and "had nearly every bone in his body jolted out of place or broke," and who has been confined in the Sisters' Hospital here for a long time, is now able to go about on crutches, although badly crippled. He is trying to make an honest living by going about, giving concerts, singing and playing the violin. We don't know how he is as a musician, but we believe he is a worthy man, and deserving of help in some way. There is a map-pedler at Lincoln who is asking teachers that owe him for books bought on the installment plan, to procure orders for a map from their school board, and he will credit them one dollar on their indebtedness in the way of a commission. It is the best way for teachers not to engage in the book selling business, at least in selling to the board from whom they draw their pay as teachers there come, nearly always, misunderstandings, disputes, ill-feeling "ye cannot serve two masters." Come in and subscribe for the semi weekly Lincoln Journal along with your Columbus Journal, so that you can get the complete report of legislative pro ceedings. Only 82 a year for both papers, in advance. On January 27th the Lincoln Semi Weekly Journal will commence the publication of another serial story, en titled "All Along the River," by Mrs. Braddon. You can get the paper free by subscribing for The Columbus Jour nal, and paying one year in advance. These serial stories alone are worth the price of the paper, 82. All our sub scribers will receive sample copies of the Semi-weekly. If you are not now paid in advance it will pay you to do so, as this is an offer you cannot well afford to miss. The engineers who are conducting the surveys for the proposed canal from Fremont to Omaha, to be built by the Omaha Canal and Power Company arriv ed this morning from Omaha, ami will proceed at once to make a systematic survey of the Platte river and banks south of the city, commencing at the head of. the island crossed by the bridge. Besides ascertaining the meandering of the stream, the depth at various points. the volume of water and the course of tho principal channels will be measured and located. Fremont Tribune. From the Looking Glass at Monroe we learn that the Farmers' Elevator association at their last meeting re elected the old board of officers and directors; that the man who gambles on the board of trade, the woman who plays for the prize and the child who fishes behind a sheet at a church fair are all gamblers; that an eastern building asso ciation has perfected an organization in Monroe, and has 811,500 stock taken there, much of it as an insurance; that the, W. C. T. TJ. is at work in Monroe, Mrs: A-.E.'Matson sup't and Miss Esther Lightner assistant Frank Faulkner says that fifteen years ago hogs were 87.40 in the Schuy ler market, owing to local conditions. Now they are high all over the country, owing to like conditions. Pork has mostly been the poor man's meat, but if it keeps going up at tho rate it has been making for a while, he will have to resort to beef for a change. What a fine thing it is that there is nearly always some thing to act as a substitute! When fruit is high-priced, there is a run on vegeta bles; when flour is up, corn-meal and potatoes are in greater demaud, and so on, through the list The estimate of funds necessary to defray county expenses for the ensuing year has been made by the board, and amounts to 844,500, a big round sum, of which 810,000 is for expenses of district court, &c, 88,000 for officers' salaries, fuel, Arc, 82,000 for records, stationerv, &c, 85,000 county road fund, 80,000 county bridge fund, 8500 soldiers' relief fund, 84,000 interest and part of princi pal on the $15,000 Butler precinct bridge bands, 82,000 interest on S25,000 Colum bus precinct bonds, 8600 interest on 810,000 Columbus township bridge bonds, 84,000 interest on 886,000 county refund ing bonds, 8400 for support of agricul tural society. In conversation with John Tanna hill the other day ho tells us that ho believes we can have artesian water here just as well as they have in Dakota and northern Nebraska. As one of the evi dences that there are streams of water flowing eastward, ho says that he remem bers, several years ago, when tho city was digging a fire-well at W. T. Rickly 's square, a well eight feet in diameter, it was noticed one morning that soveral water channels had been made during the night by the flow of water from west to east The fall from tho Rocky moun tains is enough to give us artesian water, provided thero is an obstruction suffi cient to stop this flow under tho surface. Corn is now coming into Bellwood from within a few miles of Rising, Shelby and Columbus and the Shelby -ites are becoming jealous; but they have got to grin and bear it, or else make theirjirain buyers "get a move on them." In prices Bellwood leads our sister towns about three cents per lmshol Croff Allen and John Carman drove next Columbus last Wednesday forenoon. As they were about to enter tho city John's mules took fright at something on the street and on making a sudden turn upset the vehicle, throwing John and Croff onto terra firma. The vehicle was smashed to the tune of 810. Croff received several scratches on the face and John was also considerably bruis ed. Bellwood Gazette. Sarah J. Leedom, mother of Rev. J. B. Leedom, died January 21, 1893. She was born February 28, 1802, in Middle sex, Butler county, Penna., was convert ed at the age of eighteen, and two years later united with the M. E. church in which she remained a faithful and con sistent member. She was united in marriage to Wm. Leedom in January, 1825; by this union nine children were brought into the world, five of whom preceded her to the spirit land; the other four are left to mourn her loss. She came in November, 1892, to make her home with her son of this city. The funeral services were conducted by Rev's Olcott and Elliott Sunday after noon at the house. A large number of sympathizing friends of the family were present. Her remains were taken Mon day to Wisner, Neb., for interment. Obediah Slemmons of Cadiz, Ohio, well known to many of our readers, de parted this life Jan. 13, in his seventieth year. He was grandfather of Allen Slemmons who lived here for a number of years, and of Harry, his brother, who lived at Kalamazoo, Madison county. We knew Mr. Slemmons for many years as an active, bustling, busy man. He was very generous-hearted, and probably no hungry or needy person ever left him without his help being bestowed in some way, tender-hearted and kind he was, and no worthy human being could be abused or mistreated in his presence without opposition from him, and that of an ardent kind. The last few years of his life he passed under mental clouds that physicians were not able to push aside. Let us hope that in the spirit world he no longer sees through a glass darkly. Monday evening, Jan. 23d, Mrs. J.C. Swartsley, who had been sick for a long time, was relieved of her sufferings by death. Her maiden name was Jennio L. Cameron; she was born in Jefferson county, Virginia, Aug. 10, 1839, and emi grated with her parents to Morgan county, Missouri, in 1857; was married to Mr. J. C. Swartsley, Oct. 2, I860. She was the mother of eight children, two of whom preceded her to the "land of the departed." Wo are informed that at the age of seventeen, she made a profession of faith in Christ, and has enjoyed a sustaining grace both in life and at the hour of death. The funeral services were-held at the Methodist church yes terday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Elliott officiating, many sympathizing friends being present to pay tho last tribute of their respect. All the acquain tances of the family will sincerely mourn with the afflicted husband and children, their irreparable loss. The election of R. H. Henry, of Co lumbus, president of the state board of agriculture, was a stroke of wisdom and a recognition of worth that the legisla latnre might imitate to the advantage of the state. Mr. Henry, though a demo crat, has stood up for Nebraska ever since Omaha was a baby, and has done as much as any other one man to make the state fair a success in all the years he has served on the board of directors. He has a large and profitable farm in Butler county, which he visits often when the flowers are in bloom; and he sometimes pulls off his coat and rolls up his sleeves and watches his well paid hired men as they run down the potato bugs or rip the pusleyontof the growing corn with a riding cultivator. He has been mention ed as a possible compromise candidate for United States senator and if the plum should drop his way it would drop into the lap of an honest man. Lincoln Journal. PERSONAL. Joseph Paschal went to Lincoln Sat urday. Miss Bessie Higgins was in the city Saturday. Hans Elliott of Joliet was in the city Monday on business. Mr. and Mrs. Rnmmell went to Lin coln Monday morning. Mrs. L. C. Taylor of Leigh visited Mrs. M. E. Taylor last week. Mrs. Von Bergen visited the first of the week in Humphrey. WT. Saunders, editor of the Argus, re turned from Lincoln Sunday. John Eisenmann of Duncan was a bus iness caller in our office Saturday. Mr. McClemont, principal of tho Platte Center schools, was in the city Satur day. Mrs. Carl Kramer and her mother, Mrs. Loeb. visited Mrs. Backus in Genoa last week. Mrs. W. H. Bacon of tho vicinity of Platte Center was in town Saturday and gave The Journal office a call. R. H. Henry was in Lincoln a portion of last week, and whiled away a little timo looking in on the legislative bodies. Mrs. G. W. Brown returned to her home in Cedar Rapids Monday, after a short visit with her sister, Mrs. M. K. Turner. Miss Hattie Berger of this city is the teacher of what is known as the subur ban district, the school house being located near Mr. Rohde's. She has been in the habit of riding back and forth from the city every day to her work. Friday last, her school work for the day and the week being ended, she started on her road cart for home. She hasn't a very distinct idea of what happened to cause the runaway, but thinks some part of the harness gave way it may have been the hold-back strap. As the hill south of the school house is prettv steep for this country, and the horse not the gentlest he ran off and Miss Berger was thrown out of the cart at the foot of the hill. Mr. Inlay, one of tho creamery messengers, coming along near dusk, found her lying on the ground, a buffalo robe partly over her, and quite a number of cattle standing around- the young lady, however, entirely unconscious. Ho lifted her into his wagon and brought her to the home of her parents in this city. Dr. T. R. Clark was called in and pronounced her unconsciousness as duo to concussion of the brain; no bones broken, but she was bruised and burton the right side, head, Bhoulders, chest and wrist. She was not yet, on Sunday, en tirely "at herself," but no doubts are entertained of her complete recovery. It must have been iit least three quarters of an hour after the accident before Mr. Inlay came by. Some one brought the horse in the same night; a part of the harness is missing. The Sioux Indians have a copy of what they call a holy book, says John Tannahill who has seen it; it is written on various substances, the last being with ink on paper such as is how used; the older records were on some kind of skins (black with age); the characters are pictures of natural objects, trees, animals, men, &c, and are records of events in which the tribo has been inter ested at various times battles with other tribes, with white men, &c. The Custer battle is set forth as a victory "whore none got away." John also remembers an account of an eclipse when everybody was much frightened, occurring in the time of the translators great-great grand father. The ownor of the book will not part with it for any consideration. A literary man who talked with tho posses sor of the book took a short-hand ac count which he intends to print in Harper's Weekly.

Property owners affected by tho va cation of that part of a public road commencing on tho section lino letveen sections 16 and 17, town 16, range 2 west, about 40 rods north of tho southeast corner of southeast quarter of northeast quarter of section 17, running south westerly and terminating at tho south west corner of southeast quarter of section 18, town 16, range 2 west, known as part of the "Territorial Road," should file their objections or claims for damages on or before noon, March 20th. The Journal has always believed that the law should require actual, personal notice in such cases, it has hardly "due process of law" to take a man's land from him for public use, when ho lives upon tho land, simply because he may not happen to see a notice of it in print. We do not believe it would bo out of the way for the county board of supervisors to order actual notice in such cases, and it surely would be in furtherance of justice, good government, peace and harmony. letter List.
