C. A. Beardsley was through Madi
son county last week and says the crops

and generally taking children.
Returning last Wednesday evening
from the picnic at Benson's grove, we
met Attorney Cornelius of Columbus at
the depot waiting for '22." Observing
that we walked quite lame and learning
that it was caused by a severe kick from
a horse while on the grounds, that great
legal light of our neighboring town was
unkind enough to remark that "that
horse probably knew who he was kick
ing." Silver Creek Times.
Children Cry for
Pitcher's Castorla.
There are several owners of horses
who ought to remember or be made to
member that the streets of the city are
not designed for race. tracks. The resi
dents of the city beyond the business
portion, and who happen to live on
streets that don't have crossings for two
or more blocks, are entitled to some
consideration, especially during these
dusty days, and besides, children are
very liable to get hurt by these fast
drivers and riders.
Sure enough, we are in the line of
progress: animals have for some time
now (in harvesting, for instance, and in
many avocations) been doing the cast-off
work of mankind; steam and electricity
are in many ways taking the place of
animals. The Monroe Looking Glass
argues hence that it is time for the ap
proaching millenium. Not until lifo is
an ecstasy of intellectual and spiritual
delights and is thoroughly free from
the illusions of tho fleshly mind.
The Genoa Leader, after the follow
ing paragraph, gives three, cheers for
staid old Columbus: "The Columbus
canal scheme is an assured go. The
stock has all been taken and paid in and
work will soon begin. We learn that
they propose to take tho water from the
Loup about two miles east of Genoa,
running the ditch northoast to the bluff
north of Monroe and from there to Co
lumbus, thereby irrigating tho whole
Loup bottom between here and that
city.
Would say in answer to an adver
tisement signed Aulttnan, Miller .v Co.,
that the machines referred to were
bought for Buckeyes from Aulttnan,
Miller t Co.; that the name Buckeye
was cast in tho seat, in tho shield of the
large bevel wheel, and in tho spur wheel
at the rear end of the machine; that
they were sold to me for new machines
and that they showed no sign of being
painted over again. I have no knowl
edge of when they were made. II.

The chief topic of discussion in tho
Review of Reviews for August is the re
cent railroad strike. The motives of the
dispute are candidly considered, and the
conclusion is reached that tho leaders
of tho American Railway Union have
done great harm to tho cause of organ
ized labor, besides indicting untold in
jury on an innocent public. At the
same time tho opinion is advanced that
arbitration would havo been greatly to
the advantage, as well as credit, of the
Pullman company.
A belief in cycles is almost univer
sal, and there seems a good deal of
foundation in nature for such belief.
Periodical returns of this and that have
been observed for ages. A friend calls
attention to the fact that 1881 was a
wot season in Nebraska preceded by
much snow; fourteen years before, 1807,
was similar; 1895 will bo fourteen years
after 1831, therefore we shall have much
snow the coming winter and a big crop
to follow. Who can tell us about the
vear 18. in Nebraska?
Arthur Arnold, who has been on a
three months' prospecting trip to the

There is no doubt about tho efficacy
of quarantining against contagious dis
eases, and Columbus has been remarka
bly free from such, because tho authori
ties for years havo been careful to
enforce the law in this respect. TnE
Journal has never believed in the pol
icy of deception in such matters. We
are a good deal like Patrick Henry, "let
us know tho worst and provido for it."
We learn that there are now soven cases
of diphtheria in tho city; that they are
all quarantined, and there is no necessi
ty for alarm to tho general public.
The piano recital at tho Congrega
tional church Friday evening by Miss
Lucy Haywood of Grand Island was cer
tainly a treat to all lovers of instrumen
tal music. Miss Haywood is a graduate
of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music,
regarded as the most thorough of its
kind in tho United States. Her playing
is exquisite for its clearness of touch and
expression, the rendering of the most
difficult music being clearly interpreted
by her skilled performance. Miss Hay
wood is a cousin of Mrs. J. G. Reeder of
this city. Mrs. E. H. Chambers and Mrs.
F. H. Geer assisted in the concert by
singing solos, adding very much to the
enjoyment of tho occasion.
Our city should cultivate a taste for
the higher class of music. The influ
ence of arts of all kinds is refining, makes
better citizens, better homes, and gives
the utmost enjoyment. This is especi
ally true of music. Columbus is a mu
sical city, it is true, but it is fur from be
ing what it should to in that respect.
There are comparatively very few who
understand and enjoy the best class of
music. This should be cultivated. An
uncultured mind cares little for Shak
6pere or D'ckens or for the best music.
yet in both cases wo must admit the su
periority. We are apt always to want
to amuae ourselves, to read trifling nov
els Father than the essays of Emerson,
to listen to a negro minstrel in prefer
ence to tho beautiful music of Mendels.

The American people will waken np
one of these days and provide for work
in their public schools that will better
fit their graduates for the business of
actual life that follows the average
youth's quitting of school. There is a
large, (a very large and increasing) per
centage of the boys of our land who do
not pass the grammar department of
our public schools. It seems to The
Joubval that here is one of the very
greatest defects of our graded public
school system. The average young men
see that they must make their living;
they mnst begin on, what they expect
to do for a livelihood; without the aid
of rich parents or friends, tho average
boy cannot well think of a lengthy col
lego course, whioh wilj pot to sp
greatly to his advantage, unless he is to
enter some one of the professions. Keep
the boys interested in practical matters,
twenty times more than now, and 6ee
what a change for the totter there will
be! We cannot have too much learn
ing, but let us keep up a practical in-
1 terest as long as possible.

I'olnmlin State Bank.
Tho Columbus State Bank has made
a change in their officers, John Stanffer
cashier, having resigned on account of
ill health.
M. Brugger, former book-keeper, takes
Mr. Stauffer's place and Vollie Weaver
will keep the books. John'Stauffer, jr.,
will be collection clerk.
Mr. Stauffer has made an accommo
dating cashier, and his many friends
will miss him from his accustomed
place.
M. Brugger, his successor, is one of
the younger men of our community, but
has been hero the past twenty years and
is well-known to most of our local
readers ati a thorough-going man of
principle, steadfast in tho right as he
sees the right; of good, sound judg
ment; honest as tho day is long; re
cognized by all as ono who knows his
own business and who attends strictly
to it.
The State Bank has been singularly
fortunato in its selections of officials,
and, being ono of the oldest banks of
tho state, it has acquired tho nick-name
of "Old Reliable," a well-deserved title.
As cashier, M. Brugger will no doubt
continue in tho lino of his predecessors,
profiting by their experience in all
things, and adding to the good influence
of the bank in this business community.

Tlic Othf r Side.
Wo arn in receipt of the following letter from
V. II. Lawrence, which explain!) itwelf. In a
repent iuno of The JounxAt. we published a
new item clippeil from tho Chicago Inter
Ocean, concerning our old f riendn, and we could
hope that they may, even yet, settle their diffi
culties. Having given one (tide, it is no more
than right that we should preHent the other:
"I think the people who knew mo in Coluin,
bus will not credit this etory. The facta are
that not ono of the charges made can or will Ik;
proven. 1 do not blame Alice aa much as I do
her lawyer for this article, as tsho claims that ohe
did not authorize tho charges in the way they
wero made and expressly stipulated that nothing
was to be published. She (Alice) dropped said
attorney immediately after said publication, and
nothing 1ms been done since. It is true that she
bued me for alimony and made serious charges
against me. but they cannot be proven.
1 have alwaj s taken the best care f my family,
given Alice everything she wanted, let her draw
what money she wanted at my office and never
asked her what fh spent it for. She only had
to give her orders for groceries, meat, clothing,
or anything ejse she wanted, and they were
filled, the bill sent toiaeand paid. 3!y personal
expenses for house, etc., for 1593 wen over
fS.'iOO, so you see I did not starve my faiuih.
As yon know, I hail very little capital when I
left Columbus, and if I had been such a man as
the nrtiole referred to abovo would indicate, I
could not H)lily have bt-en huccessful in
business-. 1 am worth mora today than ever
before, am at the head of a large and prosperous
biibiness. havo had exclusive control of said
business for over eiRht yearn and am willing to
have my record investigated to the fullest ex
tent. Could a man, such as is described in the
article jou published maintain his position at
the head of a paper and increase its circulation,
advertising iatronage and net profits? You are
a brother publisher, and can answer this.
Alice ia, unfortunately for 2ll parties con
cerned, inclined to be neryous, capricious and
notional. She has everything she wanta except
my company eight days ami nights in tho week,
and imagines all sorts of things.
Kindly do me justice and publish my side of
the question, and oblige.
Truly ours
W. H. L WHENCE."
This season, as never before, has
attracted the universal attention of
thoughtful farmers to the fact that arti
ficial water supply is necessary to suc
cessful farming, and wherever this is
possible, the enterprising land-owner
will keep it in view until it is accom
plished. Some will find it best in com
bination with others in a canal, some
one way and some another. Here is a
paragraph clipped from the Lexington
(Neb.) Pioneer ehowing one way: "Wm.
Dodge, a farmer of Grant precinct, is
constructing an irrigation plant con
sisting of a well sixteen feet in diameter,
which iB to to from 25 to 30 feet in
depth, and a pump with a capacity- of
C50 gallons of water per minute. The
pump will to operated by a 15-horse
power threshing machine engine. The
well is down about 20 feet at the present
time and Mr. Dodge expects to have it
completed in a few days. It iB located
on a swell of land on his farm which will
enable him to easily conduct the water
1 wherever he may need it."
City Conm-ll.
At the meeting Friday ovening all
were present except Conricilmen Mur
dock and Oehlrich.
The case of Mr. Beech who had ap
plied for support from tho city came up
again and ex-Councilman Spoerry was
called upon to make a statement of facts
as he had found them. It seems that
the family had moved hither from Shell
Creek township and had net been here
thirty days before applying for aid.
They were referred back to the overseer
of Shell Creek, who replied that they
had not been regular paupers there, but
had received some aid, or words to that
effect. Mr. Spoerry had a notion that
there was no such distinction as ''regu
lar pauper known to the law, and be
didn't see that Shell Creek township or
any other had a right to get rid of her
poor by simple removal out of the town
ship. From what had been submitted to
him, City Attorney O'Brien was in
clined to think that the city authorities
could grant temporary relief and charge
it up to bnell Creek township.
Tho question that the council wished
to have settled was whether a person
coming into tho city under such circum
stances would be entitled to support by
the city.
The representative of tho Hawkeye
Co. appeared before the council and
asked for a deduction of their rate for
occupation tax, on tho ground that,
being levied especially to provide for
sprinkling and lighting the streets, and
their company not being benefited by
these, they thought tho amount, &"",
was rather high.
Welch remarked that the rate seemed
a little high, but he didn't see any way
to remedy the matter, except to change
tho ordinance.
Gray suggested that they could in
struct tho attorney that if a certain
amount was paid, not to push for
tho balance.
Galley was very decided in his ex
pression against any action looking to
lowering the rato or changing at tho
suggestion of parties. All business men
paid or tried to pay their occupation
tax, and he didn't see any reason why
this company should to favored. On
motion of Welch the matter was referred
to the committee on nuance.
Mr. Dietrich was before tho council
with a request for the remission of his
occupation tax, claiming that he was
simply disposing of what little stock he
had on hands.
Welch thought if ho kept his house
open for business, ho should pay occu
pation tax the same as others.
After some questioning of Mr. Dietrich
by different councilmen, Gray said that
if he was buying no more goods to re
plenish stock he would favor striking
his namorom the tax-list, and on his
motion, this was done.
Tho city treasurer reported tho fol
following amounts as collected from
saloons on occupation tax: Sam'l Gass
3150; Steve Ryan.Luchsinger & Mussel
man, Borowiak, each 8100; Abts S325;
McDaniel & Campbell 125; Nekoliezak
$40; Thomas Flyun 38, and that during
July 3G00 of occupation tax had been
collected.
Inquiry was mado as to what had been
done by City Attorney O'Brion in fur
therance of the action of tho council a
month ago ordering that ho proceed at
once "to enforce payment of the occupa
tion tax. It appeared that no suits had
been brought; the mayor remarked that
he would seo the attorney, and have the
wish of the council carried out.
The acting chief of police reported
arrests during tho month: drunk and
disorderly 7; vagrancy 8; assault and
battery 1; petit larceny 2.
Tho street commissioner reported con
siderable work for July on Qnincy,
Olive, etc., and on Meridian ditch, a
total of S164 of poll tax boing worked
out.
At the police judge's office there were
no fine3 collected for July.
One of the questions that came up
for consideration was whether a day's
work for the city should consist of eight
or ten hours.
Ono of tho bills presented was for rent
of tho ground on which the bell-towor
stands, 31.
"'araiers Club.
Tho following account of the last
monthly meeting of the club reached us
too lato for last week's issue:
Tho July meeting was delightfully en
tertained by Mr. and Mrs. George Gal
ley, jr., under the shade of the fruit
laden apple trees, the sight of which was
quite encouraging to Platte valley far
mers to continue their efforts among the
young vines and treee in their orchards.
For dessert we were favored with sam
ples of tho early plums and apples
grown on Nebraska soil.
Win. Mayes, sr., told us about wheat
and its culture.
It. W. Young led in the discussion on
deep and shallow planting of corn.
11. B. Reed's subject, the handling of
corn fodder, owing to the heat and
drouth, proved to bo very timely, as it is
the all-absorbing topic with many far
mers just now.
Miss Nellie Young read a very good
selection, "Why Should the Spirit of
Mortal be Vain," by Wm. Knox.
Mr. Mayes read the story of "Oleo
margarine," a parodv on "Littlo Rod
Riding Hood."
Mrs. Young being absent, Miss Nellie
read her paper on the importance of
teaching children to help with tho home
duties on tho farm. Mrs. M. E. Lock
hart also read a paper on the same
subject.
