Jenny Bros, hare an alfalfa hog pas ture in use for three years. It seems pretty hard to get a good start, but that secured, the dry weather don't hurt it, and the hogs don't kill it out. Carl Kramer has bought out George Spear's stock of newspapers, periodicals, stationery, legal blanks, etc., and will start up in the room recently occupied by Mr. Cannon. Good enough. Jacob Guter was well and hearty Saturday last but on Sunday suffered a stroke of paralysis, so" we learn, affecting one side of his body. We hope he may speedily recover from his affliction. Nearly everybody thought that Sat urday morning was very cold, which was not the case only zero. The warm weather we had had just before made it appear for a little while about 40 degrees below where it really was. One of O. L. Baker's ponies slipped and fell while going swiftly around a corner Monday, and broke one of his fore legs square off. Dr. Tan Es put him to his final rest, with a dose of med icine, in about two seconds. The individuals of the Canal Power Co. have indicated their perfect willing ness to cancel the bonds voted in aid of that enterprise, and the council will thus be enabled, if the people so will it, to extend the waterworks system of wells. Bar. Peter Garo Kaburagi, a con verted Buddhist of Japan, gare a very interesting lecture Monday evening at the Congregational church. The house was crowded, many standing, but the lecture was listened to with the greatest of interest. Judge Sullivan has rendered a deci sion holding with the views of the ma jority of the city council on the occupa tion tax that there are two terms for which payment can be made, for one year, or for the last six months of the year (fiscal).

Gus. Becher's four weeks' work on the U. S. jury is about the first lay-off 1 from business that he has had in thir teen years. The two dollars a day al lowed by Uncle Samuel, considering the price of city boarding, is not regarded as very remunerative. rpry Goods. Our spnhg styles are pret tier than ever.

His mind is full of a colonization scheme, whereby landless men can be brought to menless lands, both be the better there by, and the interests of the country ad vanced at the same time. L. Christoffersen is now the pro prietor of the grocery, corner of Thir teenth street and Nebraska avenue, and will be pleased to see all the old cus tomers of the establishment and many new ones. Good goods, and fair treat ment will be the continued motto of the house. 1 The Genoa Leader mentions Mes- dames Pollock and Phillips and Miss Ethel Galley of Columbus as attending a card party and finishes the article with the following: "Mrs. Pollock won the first royal prize of her life, a fact we are informed will be a matter of interest to her many friends."

Mrs. Charles Miller arrived at Caro Blanco, Sonora, Mexico, on the 3d. Her husband met her at Xogles, and she was a week on the way there from here. Charley is station agent at Blanco for the Sonora, Bio Grande & Pacific By. company. A letter to her father Mr. Rice, received here on the 9th, informs him that she enjoyed her trip splendidly and she thinks she will like the climate of Mexico. Dr. W. A. Hampton of Humphrey, and who has been a resident of Platte county for a number of years, was in the city Wednesday last on his way to Lin coln. We learn from him that he will leave about the first of March for Alli ance, Box Butte county, where he be comes president of the First National bank. Mr. Hampton will be followed to his new home by the good wishes of a host of friends. And thus it is that a newspaper man utilizes everything that comes to him, to point a moral, adorn a tale, or illustrate a fact. The Madison Chronicle says: "Thi Columbus Journal speaks of a game of cards called 'Solitude,' and won ders how it is played. It is probably played single-handed and alone by busi ness men who do not advertise." .Our friend doubtless means to hint broadly that it payB to advertise. An inexperienced Irishman was en deavoring to plow a field with an inex perienced yoke of oxen as the motive power. He was getting pretty tired, after ineffectual endeavors to make the uncultured beasts understand the intri cacies of his own language, but conclud ed to try again. "Jee," he said, but they kept straight on; uhaw then," but it was all the same. "No matter which way you go, it's all got to be plowed anyway."" Miss Maud Nay lor, of Columbus, opened a four months' term of school in the Smith district last Monday H. J. Hendryx left Tuesday noon for Chicago, and a visit to his old home in Michigan. When he returns he will bring with him several experts in raising celery. Hen dryx & Co. were very successful the past season and are going into the celery business on a large scale this coming season. They will put in about 25 acres. Monroe Mirror. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Van Schoik left yesterday for Houston, Texas, where they expect to make their future home. Mr. Van Schoik is very much taken with the country; he says a man can raise as much from 20 acres of land there as from 160 acres here, and land is sold at $5 an acre. The country is just being found out, he says, and numerous northern people are moving there. And thus it goes some like it, and others comeback more than ever pleased with Nebraska. Ole was in charge of the boat; his friend Hans had gone up town for a few minutes, was to be promptly on hands at time of starting, and had not yet arrived though Ole had waited quite a long while for him. Finally, Ole concluded he would pull out, just as Hans showed up in the dim distance. Hans gesticu lated wildly, and yelling at the top of his voice for Ole to stop the. boat, ran as fast as his breath would allow him, to reach the wharf. Ole finally looked around, not being able longer to pretend that he didn't hear, the boat being now fifty feet from the bank, and said: "Ynmp. Hans, yump, I tank you mak it in about two yumps. Paul Hagel .and F. N. Stevenson entered into partnership February 1st, and will conduct together the lines of business that each has been managing separately for years. The new firm will buy and sell butter, eggs and produce; also manufacture creamery butter and conduct a general cold-storage business. Paul Hagel's name has been a household word in this region the past thirteen years, and for eight years F. N. Steven son's business career has been a straight line. Both have commended themselves to the business community by fair treat ment and true business worth. The office of the new firm is located at the cold storage building, corner of Eleventh and Olive Btreets. Melchoir Jenny of the firm of Jenny Bros., proprietors of the cheese factory in Sherman township, tells us that the firm have contracted with Felix Wolch leger for a complete system of water works to be erected on their premises. The well will be dug and walled with brick. A windmill will be used to put the water into a reservoir on the hill overlooking their premises. The water will have a fall of 40 feet, and will be conveyed by pipes, to their dwellings, factory, barns, etc For every pair of stalls for the cows there will be one iron water tank, so that they can drink, when they wish the water flowing automati cally into the troughs when not fulL The windmill tower, all steel, will be forty feet high. With this arrangement they think that in seasons when needed they will have water enough to irrigate their orchard. L. Gerrard, Bpeaking of the addition to our waterworks system, gives a sug gestion worthy of consideration, which is that the farther you go down for water the less of alkali there is in it, and the less the points would be clogged by it, and as a consequence, the freer would be the flow of water. He thinks his was the first deep well (80 feet) in the city, and he knows the water is free from alkali. Any one can make an easy test of the water commonly used from shallow wells, by dashing it against glass and noticing the effect or by looking into the family tea-kettle after weeks of use, and notic ing the deposit, which, of course, comes from the water. The meshes of wire on the- points are filled with this alkali in a short time, and when a power pump is used, the flow into the tubes through the meshes is not sufficient for easy pump ing. The proprietors of the packing house found the same difficulty, precise ly, that the city now finds. Mr. Gerrard feels confident that by going down to the depth mentioned we will have water free from alkali, in abundant quantity, and free flow through the meshes of the points. We may add to this that Mr. Segelke's well at the pop factory is 90 feet deep, and he says that water drawn from it may stand in a tin bucket for a week, and show no sediment or appear cloudy at the end of that time.

The relief committee had a meeting to report progress, in the council chamber, Thursday evening. All the ladies ap- pointed to solicit were present, but one, and prove they have taken a lively inter est in finding the needy, who are not so numerous as had been expected. The First ward found five in real need, the Second ward seven families were report ed, and the Third ward only three. Be sides these, there are some who need help in the way of clothing. There are several widows with large families, who make their living by washing, who need necessary clothing for their children that they can be sent to school. The ladies who solicited from the bus iness men and their families found near ly every one willing to help, and many promised to do more if it was found necessary. The cash collected was, from the First ward, $30, Second ward, $78, and the Third ward, S2o, making a total of S133, and still there are many who have not yet been called upon, and con siderable clothing, tlour and other pro visions have been donated. Mrs. Herrick was elected treasurer and Mrs. Meagher secretary of the committee. The ladies ask through the paper, that all who have clothing to spare, send them to the store of F. W. Herrick, where they will be properly disposed of. Bedding and women's and children's clothing are the most needed. Among the worst cases found was that of a mother and children living in a little hut with no floor, and the children with out shoes and stockings. In another the bed was of straw with but a very thin comfort over it. Several families are in need of coal. Those who are in real need of the necessaries of life and especially those who have had sickness in their families should not hesitate to see the ladies of the relief committee and make known their condition. Until a community is developed in the art of advertising far enough to jus tify, there is little use for a daily paper of anything like decent pretensions to seek a foothold there. Where 'the field" is occupied by three or more weeklies eking out a scant subsistence and giving the community double value for all they receive, it is foolishness to start up a daily, unless, indeed, the pro prietor knows that he has plenty of money to do him for a while, with facil ities and faculties entirely beyond his contemporaries, so that he can over shadow them, and absorb their business from them. The gentleman whose agent canvassed this city some months back for subscribers, has been having some experience at Seward. Ho concluded not to start up in Columbus, but from the following, which we clip from the Reporter, we do not believe that he has found fair sailing down there: "The Daily Press has ceased to appear since last Saturday, and the indications are that it will not again shed light and gladness over the hearts of the people of Seward. Col. Mahaffey says, however, that the suspension is only temporary, and that his paper will soon blossom forth again, in better style than before, printed with type of his own, on a press of his own, and in an office of his own. Which leads to a very strong suspicion that the fools are not all dead vet." John Tannahill suggests that it would be well if every post-office in Ne braska could have on exhibition (enclos ed in a glass case so that no seeds could escape), a sample of the Russian thistle, which is such a pest to the farmers of Dakota, and becoming so to many farm ers in the northern tier of counties in Nebraska. If it gets the start of wheat sown on the same ground, the grain has no chance for its life at all, and he has seen field after field of wheat choked out by this weed. When dry, it bears some resemblance to the tumble weed, but has a different look when growing, the leaves being larger, so that you cannot see the ground through the bushy growth. It commences to bloom early in the season and keeps it up until late. John says that in his travels he never saw it nearer Columbus than Creighton, and north of there, you will find it spreading along the tracks of the railroads. The first thing towards the destruction of the pest is to make its appearance known to every man, woman and child in the state, and enjoin upon them the duty of des troying it at once. Columbus, Nebr., Feb. 10, 1894. nsequence of the action of the Clearing House and the banks' in cities of the state of Nebraska, it necessary for the banks of Co lumbus to adopt some uniform course of action in regard to exchange charges. Therefore it was agreed at a meeting of the banks of Columbus that on and after February 20, 1594, the following rate of exchange on all drafts issued by said banks will be charged: On each draft for 8100 or under, ten (10) cents. On each draft for over 3100, ten (10) cents for the first 3100, and five (5) cents for each additional 8100 or fractional part thereof. v The CotuHBrs State Bank, The First Natioxax.

Omaha oth becop City CMseiL The council met Tuesday evening of last week on the call of Mayor Schup bach, all present The minutes of the previous meeting were read. Water Commissioner Schroeder then read his report as to the extension of the well system of the waterworks. His estimate is that it would take $295 for making the improvement City Attorney Whitmoyers report was then read as follows: "In answer to your question in refer ence to the ways and means of con structing additional waterworks, will say that the statute provides: That all contracts for the erection or construction of any such work or any part thereof shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder therefor upon not less than twenty days public notice of the terms and conditions upon which the contract is to be let &e. Such cityorvillage may borrow money or issue bonds for the purpose not ex ceeding ten per centum of the assessed value of the taxable property of the city according to the last preceding assess ment thereof for the purchase, erection or construction and maintenance of such waterworks, ic. That no such money shall be borrowed on bonds issued, unless the same shall have been authorized by a vote of the majority of the electors of such city. o moneys shall be expended for im- tprovements, repair or extension of said waterjtprks system except upon recom mendationrjf the water commissioner." There was considerable discussion of the situation, which resulted in the adoption of the following offered by Gray: "Resolved, That the question of raising funds to make the proposed extension of the city well system be referred to the committee on finance, with instruction to report at next meeting of the council." One of the phases of the problem was talked of, viz: that while the city had voted the limit allowed by law for bond ed indebtedness, the last being 86,000 in aid of the power canal; if these bonds were cancelled by the company, the city would then be in a situation to ask the 82,000 bonds necessary for this work. The council then adjourned to meet Monday, Feb. 12th. The council met Monday evening. Present, Mayor Sehnpbach and Council men Galley, Hoffman, Newman and Spoerry. Minutes of previous meeting read and approved. Communication from the Pastors' Association in regard to the houses of ill-fame was read, objecting to so-called nominal fines, as virtnally a license of such houses. Councilman Spoerry" spoke on several phases of the subject, suggesting that the police might be asked to make a raid upon these houses, and gather into the arms of the law some of the males that frequent these places. Councilman Galley said that as he understood it, the laws do not recognize such places as having a legal existence at all. It is the duty of the police to do the best they can, which, he supposed, is what they are doing. The communication was unanimously referred to the committee on police, who recommended the prosecution of offend ers against the ordinances whenever sufficient proof is furnished. There was no dissenting vote on the motion to adopt the report, and the clerk was in structed to furnish the Pastors' Associa tion with a copy of the report The petition of Arnold & Gabler for druggist's permit to sell malt, spiritous and vinous liquors for mechanical and medicinal purposes was presented. On motion the bond was accepted and the permit granted. Louis Schwarz, chief of the tire de partment, made a report of the property in the hands of the different fire compa nies, which was referred to the commit tee on fire. The chief requested that the doors of the engine house should be repaired. On motion the committee on fire were instructed to make the necessary repairs upon the building. Bill of Charles Schroeder for 8103.90 was allowed and warrant ordered drawn. Water Commissioner Schroeder re marked as to the rates charged to the Union Pacific that they had agreed on 8170.37 a month for December and Jan uary, as a just rate during the time the meter has been out of order. Adjourned to February 16th. A. O. U. W. At the regular meeting of Columbia Lodge No. 268, held Feb. 1st two candi dates were initiated, and applications received for three more for the next meeting.

The lowest amount to any district is to 27, 332.74; the highest, 3888.10 to dis trict 1. Districts 11 and 12 do not re ceive any of the state apportionment presumably because they have not com plied with the provisions of the law. It will be noticed from the above that the receipts of the school fund from fines and licenses is only 38.50. When it -is considered that this sum represents ev erything of its class outside of cities and villages, the county is traly to be con gratulated on the state of affairs. But what a comuMBtary is this, by contrast, on the towns and villages of the county, where the school fund is'greatly indebt ed to this species of revenue! Tax Sales.

The Fullerton Post, in advocating the voting of 320,000 in bonds for a new court house, including a jail, has this among its arguments: ''Without a jail we are compelled to send all our pris oners to Platte county, and every pris oner that is sent there costs this county 32 per day, besides the expense of their transportation and the fees and trans portation of the officer who has them in charge. We pay 50 cents per day for their board and 81.50 per day jailor's fees. In this matter we are informed that the claims of Platte county against Nance county the past year amount to over 3500." Y. M.
