He and Secretary Adkins go Friday to the state convention Y. M. C. A. at Fremont. The Journal was honored Monday by a very agreeable visit from L. L. Adams of Fitzburg, Wise He thinks Columbus has greatly improved the past six years, very noticeable in residence as well as business buildings. He expects to go this week to Rising to visit his brother. The North Platte Local Irrigation Association has sent out circulars an nouncing a convention at that place Tuesday, Dec. 19th. Everybody is in vited, and doubtless considerable good will result from the meeting. Nebraaka is certainly waking up to the importance of irrigation. We neglected last week to give an account of the Farmers' club meeting held the 24th of Nov., at R W. Young's residence. About twenty members were present, and enjoyed a program, after which a sumptuous supper was served by Mrs. Young. The next meeting will be held at Mrs. Lockhart'a Jan. 3d. J. M.

Akkdt Schelp At the residence of the bride's parents, in Grand Prairie township, Wednesday, Nov. 29th, by Bev. E. Holm, Mr. Ernest Arndt and Miss Lizzie, eldest daughter of Hon. William Schelp. There were a hundred and twenty-five invited guests in attendance, and the wedding presents were nnmeroas and valuable. The young couple start on their life's journey with the kindest wishes of all who know them. Bbhulbcox Takkahuvl Nov. 30th, at the residence of the bride's parents, Columbus, Nelx, Mr. & R Brimblecom and Miss Jennie Tanaahill, both of this city, Rev. O. A. Elliott officiating. The wedding was at 2 p. m. A sump tuous dinner was then served. A num ber of relatives were present. The worthy young couple were remembered nicely in several beautiful and useful presents. The bride and groom have the best wishes of their many friends here who will be pleased to know that they intend to start their new home in the eastern part of our city. The gentlemen's club rooms are the main topic of conversation among the men of the town at present. Four rooms above Barber's store have been elegantly furnished as parlors for reading and games. Monday nigbt a business meet ing wss held, 30 of the 56 members being present. The temporary officers are G. W. Phillips, president, J. T. Cox, secre tary and O. T. Been, treasurer. The object of the club is to furnish a pleasant plaee, for- yasnar sssa especially, with plenty of good reading matter and inno cent games, one room being reserved for smoking. Drinking, and gambling are strictly prohibited. About one hundred dollars will be spent yearly for reading material. Members will be permitted to bring visiting friends who will be allow ed the privileges of the club. The rooms will be kept in order by a janitor, and open from 9 a. m to midnight. The name selected is the Viking club. The Forum Publishing Co. of New York, with the December number, have begun a departure in that class of peri odicals, cutting the price in two, but not lessening the quantity, nor lowering the quality of the reading matter. For $3 a year or 25 cents a number, you can now get The Forum, which stands at the head of the great periodicals which give attention to topics of current interest, political, educational and social. In the number before us there are fifteen arti cles, and among the subjects treated of are: "Child-Study: the Basis of Exact Education;" "A Plan to Free the Schools from Politics;" "Are Presidential Ap pointments for Sale?"; "Need, not of 'More Money,' but Better Exchange." The Forum is not only a model of liter ary excellence, but it is also a very fine specimen of the printer's art, creditable to any publishing firm. Those who sat by their warm fires Thanksgiving day and who had a fnll and satisfying meal did well if they thought of those who might be in need; they did better, if they had helped some worthy poor to the better enjoyment of the day; they did better still if they helped one or more to help themselves. The Journal reporter, in his rounds, has learned of one lady of the city who did magnificently in the way of help to those who needed it; one whose generous heart opened to the needs of a stranger woman and her little ones, and whose generosity is evidently of the genuine kind which wishes to be hid from view. If all good impulses were instantly acted upon the world of meanness would soon be gone. There are several things talked of on the new school-house question. You can see in the board proceedings two offers on building sites; there are several others in contemplation. Some think that the new house ought to be as near to the body of children as possible. There is talk of putting up a building west of the Meridian line and selling the Third ward house, lot and all. It is well enough to talk over matters; some thing must be done within the next year, and the planB will probably be for mulated within the next two months. Those interested in the new school building, which will doubtless be the most costly yet erected in the city, should bestir themselves. If you wish to find out at any time whether somebody has a lien on your real estate, a better investment than the fee-simple or even than a mortgage at 8 or 10 per cent, because this lien bears 20 per cent from its date, ask the county treasurer to show you the tax sales. If yon don't wish to bother with such things but once a year, and know that ydu have not paid your taxes, go to the county clerk's office and see the list of sales required by law to be there filed annually by the county treasurer on or before the first Monday in December. Our Monday morning's mail brought us a very valuable suggestion, the first words being: "Do you want a snap? We were obliged to take, in settlement of a claim, a lot of watches, etc., etc." The circular sets forth what can be done for $11 in the way of purchasing a watch, and what bargains can be had for $25 to $27. There is no danger of our ordering any of these goods, but some of you fellows who have an extra quarter of a hundred about your persons will do well to consider twice before you bite. The school board were informed Monday evening that on one of their properties in the city there is a lien for taxes for 1884. Of course the parties responsible to pay the same are reliable and the city will loose nothing; it leads us to remark, however, that every once in a while there is turning up some item of this Bort, and it seems to The Jour nal that there should be a notification required by law in all such cases. i-The only real graduate in all branch eVof dentistry in Platte county can be frftmd at Dr. E.

Mr. Sibbernsen appeared on behalf of Becher, Jaeggi & Co., and accepted the offer tendered by the board for certain property. He was informed that the time limited for accepting was the first meeting of the board in October. He then submitted in writing a new propo sition, viz: $1,000 for the south half of block nine, or $600 for all of block two in Becher Place Addition. Referred to the committee on build ings and grounds. Several matters pertaining to school work, suggested by the superintendent, were referred to appropriate committees.

At the meetinjrTfiday evening, there were present Councilmen Galley, Gray, Hoffman, Newman, Spcerry and Welch, President Gray presiding in the absence of Mayor Schnpbach, detained at home on account of sickness. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The resignation of John B. Drano as night policeman was read and accepted, and placed on file. The communication ot Mayor Schnp bach asking the confirmation of tho ap pointment of Julius rhillips as night policeman was read and request granted, to take effect when Phillips files a bond according to law. A communication of tho mayor pre senting tho necessity of having what is known as a watchman's clock, w:is read and referred to the committee on police. Com. on Waterworks, Galley, Spojrry and Welch, recommended that tho bill against the county for the nso of water, and rejected by tho board of supervisors without a reason, bo again presonted. They stated that tho county had had tho use of water for four years at $20 a year, and have paid only $60. The recom mendation of the committeo was adopt ed unanimously. Police Jndge Hudson reported the col lection of $74 in fines, and turned into the treasury. Tho usual monthly reports of officials wero received (excepting that of chief of police and street commissioner), and re ferred to the appropriate committees. A resolution offered by Welch was adopted providing for a special meeting of the council Dec. 29th, to make a lovy for laying sidewalks along lots 5,0, 7 and 8, block 43; 1 and 8, block 77, and 1 and 8, block 100, and directing tho city attor ney to draft the proper notice for publi cation in The Jocrxai four times, be ginning with Dec. Ctb. At this stage of the proceedings Coun cilman Spcorry made u statement that ex-Night Policeman Drane, whoso resig nation had been accepted, had had, with a companion, three drinks of liquor each, on Sunday morning, in Constable Mc Taggart's saloon. Ho didn't think it was right to punish the policeman and let the saloon-keeper go free, and ho a peace-officer too, recently elected. Be sides, he said, McTaggart, Leo. Boro wiak, Thomas Flynn and the Brandt's have not yet paid their occupation tax, or any part of it, $250 for each estab lishment, although the council had ordered enforced collection to be made by last July 1st. Following this was the adoption of a resolution in the nature of a communi cation to Mayor Schupbach, informing him that it is the sense of the city coun cil that any fnrther delay in forcing the collection of delinquent license tax is unjust to the best interests of the city. The roll was called, and those voting aye were: Galley, Hoffman, Newman, Spoerry; no Welch; Gray explaining that had there been a tie, as presiding officer he would have voted in favor of the resolution. The bills of J. D. Brewer, A. Heintz, Is. Schreiber, R. Jenkinson, Van Schoik, Becher, Jaeggi & Co., H. Hughes and Smith & Foster were referred to appro- Eriate committees, most of them not aving the "O K" of the proper officers of the council.

Long ago wo learned that the only safe plan is to note "improvements" as they rise, in that way you get tho facts. It is sometimes appropriate to givo what is going in tho way of rumor -and tako it for what it is worth. Tho facts aro that tho Union Pacific has a force of men at work laying an extra track north of tho main line, and east from the passenger depot. Humor is that a now freight depot is to be plac ed on about tho sito of tho planing mill that burned down, or on M street, north of the Lindell Houso. Fact is thai tho old freight depot is a rattle trap, but having been used so long, it can doubt less be utilized another winter. It is in tho middle of the street, and it would bo most excellent policy for tho company hereafter to keep out of tho middle of tho street in tho erection of its buildings it hinders tho development of streots, and angers property owners on such streots, because, as a rulo, they havo to submit to the injustice, oven after doing an immense amount of unavailing kicking. Iintnor is that the 1!. k SI. aro going to build a new depot on the sito of the old one, and also extend their line out from this place, in which direction, Humor does not vouchsafe to say. The truth is that tho old building onght to. bo replaced by a first-class structure, but it ought not to bo put in the middle of a street, and cross streets should not bo blocked up any moro than absolutely necessary. By all means let the good work go on. Everj' good building erected adds to tho value of all tho property in the city. Ileal Estate Transfer.
