If you have to buy articles such as .advertised, it may pay yon to attend these sales. -A good portion of last week was taken up by the district court in the trial of the Schroeder-Heintz case. Mon day the state case against Morrissey for an assault upon Macken was begun. Pearson, the Humphrey burglar who received his sentence to the peniten tiary some days ago, was taken to Lin coln Saturday by Sheriff Kavanaugh. Mr. Pfeffer, the man found wander ing round here during the recent cold spell, was taken to Bntler county. He is insane, but not at all dangerous, and is kept at the Butler county poor-house. The will of James W. Love of Fre mont, probated the other day read: "I will all my property, both real and per sonal, to my beloved wife, Therza S. Love, for the use of herself and chil dren." While Mrs. John Flynn was in von Bergen Bro's. store Saturday evening, about 5 o'clock, a basket of groceries in her buggy standing outside was carried off by some hungry thief.

Reform yourself . thoroughly, and about when you have done that, you will be ready for the next state of existence. Tom Cain of Westhill was in the city Thursday, and for the next year will read the Omaha Bee and Prairie Farmer in addition to The Journal, taking ad vantage of our very liberal clubbing rate with those two excellent papers. After you have subscribed for a local paper, choose among others those that have supported the theory of protection to our nation's industries, and on this score you will not find any to excel the American Economist, New York City, $2 a year. Some stranger (for whom Mary. Ells ton has been purchasing chickens), has rigged up a car on the U. P. track, and will soon have enough to send to the San Francisco market. By the way, of all that is raised on a farm, the chicken gives the best returns on the investment. We are indebted to E. F. Folda, esq., for a copy of the report of the condition of the banks in Colfax county for Decem ber, 1893. There are, all told, ten banks with assets ranging from thirteen thou sand to two hundred and thirty thousand dollars, and their loans vary from eight to one hundred and seventy-two thous and, the grand total of loans for the entire county being $381,592.06. This is a good showing for these hard times. The truth is there is no better founda tion for a prosperous commercial com munity than a good agricultural county, and if central Nebraska and, indeed, the greater part of the state is not that, there is none. Tomorrow personal taxes are delin quent, and bear ten per cent interest. One of our exchanges, the Albion News, suggests that, the times being close, the county treasurer should not pile up fees and mileage serving distress warrants, seeing that, if the money was collected, it would simply go towards increasing the already large pile in the treasury, which goes into the hands of a deposi tory bank at 4 per cent, while, if it re mains in the hands of the tax-payer, the county gets 10 per cent. The safest way, however, is to pay your taxes, if you can, possibly, when they are due; if not then, so soon as you can after delin quency. Down at Schuyler the commissioner of lights and waterworks has been sell ing city coal to the city employes at cost, upon the same ground that all corpora tions do, sell their employes whatever they deal in at cost price, and supposed it was all right. He admitted that he should have first asked the advice of the council on the matter, but contends that he did nothing out of the way. Miss Grace Gerrard came near hav ing what might have been a very serious accident, in Lincoln .one evening last week. She was skatingpn the lake near the city when the ice broke, letting her self and companion through into the water. They were taken out and imme diately cared for, and Miss Gerrard wrote home that she was ready the next morning for another skate. Stephen Buzza came back from Grand Island Thursday to remain a few days in straightening up business affairs and selling his household goods. He has accepted a position at Fairbury as secre tary of the Y. M. C. A. at that place, where he will begin work at once. He will be followed by the good wishes of all bis acquaintances. Communities have been accus tomed for ages to look upon the varied relations and associations of men and women with considerable allowance, but in these days a man cannot beat and pound and disfigure and mar a woman with whom he lives without being re garded either as a crazy man, a fiend or a cowardly villian. In last week's Journal was men tioned the death Jan. 23d, of Ruth C, infant daughter of Mazie M. Allbangh. The child died of spasms. Its age was four months and eight days. The funer al services were held at the United Brethren church, Wednesday, Elder H. J. Hudson officiating. Mrs. T. Cole of Platte Center was in the city Monday on her way home from Benton where she had been several days during the last illness of her grand mother, Mrs. C. G. Maynard, who died Friday last in the eighty-fourth year of her age. The remains were taken to Herman for burial. A writer, describing foot-ball, says that the difference between the old game, the Rugby and the American ia: In the old, you kick the ball; in the Rugby, you kick a man if you cannot kick the ball; in the American, you kick the ball if you cannot kick the man." Jonas Headman expects to return to the old country in about six months and visit the scenes of his early childhood. Uncle Jonas has been a resident of this section for about twenty years and his departure will be witnessed with regret by a host of friends. Genoa Leader. Wiggins & Lewis are doing a rushing business these times, buying and for warding a great many fat cattle, sheep and hogs to the South Omaha market. They bought two carloads of fine hogs of Greisen Bros, this week, and a hundred head of Henry Wilken. The police raided the establishment of Jack Dwyer, in a back room off Twelfth street, and gobbled up some evidences of gambling, which were brought into police court. Dwyer was fined $25 and costs, and sent to jail in default of payment. O. B. Morey, former citizen of Platte county living on "Stearns Prairie," is among the candidates mentioned by the South Omaha Tribune, as candidate for the police judge-ship of that thriving burg. Mr. Morey has the ability to makVa good judge. Jacob Tschudin, the supervisor from Xjdtt township, is one of the best inem berlfof the county board. He endeavors -to Add the right way and to walk there in, and he will doubtless continue to do this-regardless of epithets from the Wochenblatt. The Norfolk branch of the Union Pacific has a consolidated engine that looks big enough to haul about 20 to 25 cars from here to Norfolk, and about 16 to 18 from there to Sioux City. W. T. Allen, the veteran engineer, has her in charge. A. Van Schoik returned Saturday from Texas, and expects to move with his family thither next week, to make that their future home. The Journal, with their many friends, wishes them health and success wherever they may locate. Several evening parties were given last week by friends, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Bowman of Omaha. Thursday evening Mrs. H. Murdock en tertained, Mrs. E. H. Chambers Friday evening, and Mrs. Judge Sullivan Satur day. The wind mill plant in Highland Park is about to be sold to Wm. Wearne of the South Omaha Foundry. A foun dry will be run, and perhaps a planing mill in addition. Charles Henning, father of our townsman Ferd. Henning, is seriously ilL He has reached four score and two years. Martha WaskiBgtoa Sapper. To be given for the benefit of the Catholic Young 'Ladies Sodality, Wed nesday evening, Jan. 31st, at the Maen nerchor hall. All are cordially invited to attend. Last week we noted the death at her home in Platte Center, January 22d, of Mrs. William Bloedorn. The funeral took place from the Baptist church Thursday morning. Rev. Elwell and Matzke officiating. The remains were interred in the Monroe cemetery by the side of her mother and brother. The deceased was born in Rochester, N. Y., September 30, 1857, and at the time of her death was 36 years, 3 months and 22 days old. June 22, 1876, she was mar ried to William Bloedorn. Of the nine children born to them, the youngest is four months and the eldest sixteen years of age, all living. The Signal says further: 'On every hand could be heard expressions of deep regret by the loss of this good woman, irrespective of class, creed or denomination, so well had she performed her work here on earth. Still, while her good deeds are noticeable on every hand, she did not neglect her fam ily. It was here that her attention was centered, and in her own words, 'thought the very best thing I could do for them would be to give them myself. So I spared no pains to talk to them, to teach them, to pray with them and be a loving companion and friend to my children.' " If you watch our report of tax sales, it may save you a considerable sum of money one of these days. Thomas Jeff erson said: "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and nothing is truer. It is precisely the same species of watch fulness that is exacted in the defense of home, and the preservation of property rights, because these are only adjuncts of liberty. In our list this week there are a dozen pieces of property, some tracts of land and several city lots, upon which tax-liens have lately been placed, and the interest on these now is twenty per cent, going to the investors, and not to the county. If you borrow the money of a bank and redeem your land, you pay only ten per cent, just half what is allowed by law to the investor in tax titles. Of course the oftener redemp tions are made the more compounding of interest at 20 per cent takes place, and the more is thus made for those who have the money to invest in these secur ities (the best in the world), but it is to the advantage of the land or lot owner to allow no lien upon his land, if he can help it. If you have one get rid of it as soon as you can see your way cleir. Mrs. Carrie B. Wells, an estimable lady of Lincoln, who officiated as post mistress in the Nebraska building at the World's Fair, and who was for a number of years deputy register of deeds in this county, is a central figure in a group of incidents, which, taken together, make almost a romance. Nine years ago her husband, with whom she was living in Columbus, Neb., disappeared. All trace of him was lost, and he was finally sup posed to be dead. At the end of seven years after his disappearance Mrs. Wells collected the life insurance which her husband had carried in her favor. A few days ago a man died at a small town in Arkansas, and on his death bed he revealed his identity. He was the hus band of Mrs. Wells. He had lived in the town seven years under an assumed name. The above is from the Lincoln department of the Omaha Bee of the 23d. Mr. Wells was an attorney here nine years ago. He suddenly disap peared one night and his whereabouts was a complete mystery, it being believed bv his friends that he had been murdered. This is the way Columbus is being advertised just now. The Fullerton News says: "The improved Stock Breed ers' Association of our great state of Nebraska will hold its annual meeting at the capital of Platte county on the 20th of February. It will be a three days session. Interesting addresses will be given by Hon. J. B. Wolfe, Hon. W. S. Summers, Hon. J. B. Dickenson, Hon. S. M. Barker, Prof. Ingersoll, Mark M. Coad, C. H. Searle, A. J. Hendryx, R. M. Allen, Mrs. A. M. Edwards, Thos. Miller and others. Secretary-Treasurer, H. S. Reed, says that every effort will be made to make this session from the address of welcome to the farewell toast of the banquet the banner meeting of the asso ciation. Every one interested in stock growing in this county should go to Co lumbus and hear these discussions. As we go to press Tuesday after noons, we cannot of course give the proceedings of the public meeting of the citizens called by Mayor Schupbach for last evening, to devise ways and means of helping the needy poor. So many de mands have been made upon the author ities that this step was thought advisa ble, and no doubt great good will result from the action taken and to be taken. There is not, as a rule, so much suffering in small places as in cities, but there is enough of it anywhere, and if thoso who have the ready means will give of their abundance to those who have not the necessaries of life for their little ones, and who, during these hard times, cannot get employment, they will be doubly blessed in the deed. It used to be a common saying, in the olden time, when wheat was cut with the sickle or the cradle, that there is always plenty of work in harvest time. There are a good many different kinds of harvest. After the farmer has gath ered all his grain and stored it, he can then turn his attention to the harvests for which the other harvest was prepar atory, viz: feeding his stock of various kinds, and converting his grain into beef, pork, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, mutton, wool, etc. When the weather is too bad for out-of-door work, he can saw wood in the shed, repair machinery, make gates, or busy himself about the house in labor-saving devices for the kitchen. The old rule of morals holds good here, too. do the duty lying near est, and that will make plain to you the next, and so on. But we started out to say that just now is the harvest of ice. The insurance companies have given Schuyler policy holders notice of a raise of twenty per cent in rates, and of course the newspapers are, in the inter ests of the people, kicking against the advance. If the business houses were mainly of wood and if they had no waterworks, there might be some reason in the raise. What has happened to Schuyler, may happen to Columbus one of these days. One exchange suggests Ias an effective remedy the organization cf mutual insurance companies. PERSONAL. Mrs. D. M. Doty went to Lincoln last Thursday. Miss Isa Fink of Madison was in the city Saturday. Miss Dovie Becher went down to Lin coln Friday to visit several days. F. M. Cookingham of Humphrey was in town last week attending court H. J. McGath of Clarks visited his daughters, Mrs. George Scott and Miss McGath, last week. Miss Susie Hayes returned the first of the week after several days visit with parents on Shell Creek. Mrs. C. E. Pollock, Mrs. G. W. Phillips and hereon Milton are visiting with Mrs. W. H. Winterbotham of Genoa. Mr. A. Wannafried of the old relia ble Western Newspaper Union was a welcome caller at this office yesterday. Mr. Buzza and Mrs. Charles Stinch comb of Grand Island, father and sister respectively, of Stephen Buzza, were in the city last week, returning home Saturday. Y. M. C. A. Note. Keep in mind the pop corn social at the rooms uext week. Date will be pub lished later. Now that we are prepared to take proper care of our library, we hope friends will donate something towards our supply of literature. The meeting on the afternoon of the 21st was held by Pres. C. G. Hickok, on the subject "Where shall I spend eter nity?" Much interest was manifest. Carpenters have been at work for a day or two putting doors on our library shelves, and we hope to be able to keep the books in better order in the future. The Ladies Auxiliary held a meeting on the 19th and appropriated an amount for the library, also favorably considered the purchase of a new carpet for the reading room. At a meeting of the ladies committee held in the rooms last Saturday, it was decided to give a 10 cent or "pop corn" social next week for the purpose of rais ing the balance necessary to purchase a carpet for the reading room. Rev. Warner of St. Edward was a visi tor to the men's meeting Sunday even ing. Mr. Warner filled the Presbyterian pulpit Sunday morning and evening in the absence of Rev. Elliott, who had charge of the services in St. Edward. Last Thursday one of our association members and a friend carried a number of magazines to the county jail for the prisoners. We hope frequent visits will be made to the unfortunate fellows con fined within the prison walls. Too much can never be said or done to help them. To seek a man amid the temptations of a city and save him from moral or social degradation is to act the beneficent part. To administer the ounce of pre ventive is qnite as important as to pro vide the pound of cure. This is in a large part the work of the Young Men's Christian Association. Young Men's Era. On one of the cold nights last week two men, at least, spent the night in Columbus without supper or bed. Dar ing these cold days and these terrible times of "no work and no money," do not turn a man from your door withont a bite to eat and a pleasant word. "Inas much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me." Within the bosoms of these dirty, ragged men are souls God prizes as highly as those of Yanderbilt, Wannamaker, Har rison or Cleveland, and many of them are rough diamonds only waiting for the hands or words of the polisher.

Mrs. Fred. Luckey, jr., is reported as being sick for a long time, with but little change if any, for the better. There were no religious services at the school house Sunday evening, the weath er being a little cool and the roads rough. My! what a winter this is, pigs basking in the sun, Iambs cavorting, horses graz ing, hens cackling and eggs coming in every day. The building we saw last week on wheels, was unloaded on the S. W. of Sec. 10. Fred. Stenger purchased the building of D. B. Duffy north of the city and caused it to be moved upon some land which he is improving in the above section. Charlie Vogt, who for three years served Fred. Stenger as foreman on his extensive ranch near the city, and who with his brother the last yea? rented and worked 160 acres of Mr. S's. land, has not decided yet just what he will do this summer.

Tuesday of last week was a very fine day, and Joe Drinmn was seen on the streets in Columbus with a new large stirring plow Joaded upon his wagon, driving up one street and down another. We thought first he had borrowed the plow from a dealer, and was driving around town thinking it would assist in removing cobwebs from the. eyes of his brother farmers, but when we saw him later, he still had the plow in his wagon, had tailed to the west and was leaving town. Our school was storm bound Tuesday of last week; your correspondent ditto. Mrs. G. Engel is still confined to her bed, as is also her daughter Mrs. F. Luckey, jr. Charlie Egbert, of Colfax, went over to O. D. Butler's Friday evening to have a hunt with his chum Alvin the nest day. Sam Reinke is suffering with one of those torturing "felons" which was so bad as to necessitate the calling in of a physician. Sam has our sympathy. Henry Lusche, who unceremoniously went away about three weeks ago, we learn is now in Wisconsin. It was also rumored that Mr. L. had one of his limbs accidentally broken while there. Financial embarrassment, we believe, is the cause of his temporary absence. In school district 23, Colfax county, teacher and scholars have been having a little tilt. Teacher accuses scholars of using tobacco, and scholars accuse her of teaching them that Washington's birthday comes on Feb. 11 of each year. Each party have acknowledged their faults and everything runs smoothly again. One of our farmers recently took a quantity of buckwheat to a toll grist mill, and ordered the grain to be con verted into flour, shorts and bran; the grain was weighed when left, and when the farmer went for his grist, the same was weighed again, when it fell short in his estimation more than the lawful toll, whereupon the farmer loaded into his wagon what was left, and refused to pay cash for grinding as was agreed. A civil suit will probably settle the above and leave a precedent. Real Estate Transfers.
