- Somo items of interest in regard to
the forthcoming income tax will bo found
in another place in today's Journal.
From 1S03 to 1872 tho government im
posed a tax of this kind, exempting at
first SCOO, and levying 5 per cent on all
incomes above that to $5,000, 7 per cent
on those from five to ten thousand, and
10 per cent on all abovo ten thousand.
The receipts in 1867 were S27,418,000; in
1S6S, S23,390,000; in 1870, $26,153,000.
Guy C. Barnum's name heads the
list of members of the Territorial Pio
neers' Association of Nebraska, he hav
ing made settlement in 1850. There is
only one settler who appears to have
arrived on the sod at a prior date, and
that was Captain Charles Contal of
Blair, who is put down for 1826, thirty
years before tho settlement of Columbus.
H. J. Hudson is tho only other perron of
our city who is a member of the asso
ciation. On next Saturday evening, at their
hall on Eleventh street, Union Camp No.
134, Sons of Veterans will hold their reg
ular meeting. The Camp has initiated
forty-nine members all told, and it is
desired that all be present at the next

transacted. A new route step is soon to
be instituted and matters, we are inform
ed, will take a lively- turn.. Nothing like
a little good humor or downright fun

The Nebraska Farmer advises farm
ers to keep an eye on their hogs for
present and future use. Give the market
a chance to brace up a bit by withhold
ing what hogs yon should have for future
use. The suggestion is to feed light and
thus make provender go as far as it will
with the maximum number that you can
keep for stock. Good crops another
season, cattle and hogs both will be in
big demand for feeding and will doubt
less bring extra good prices when they
are fattened.
C. M. Copeland, "Y" secretary from
Manitoba, was in the city Friday and
Saturday working for the Fifteenth an
nual state convention to beheld in Beat
rice, Dec. 6 9. In tho program wo notice
an hour's Bible study each day; the dis
cussion of tho "Y" as a factor in the
commercial, social, political and spiritual
life of the community; business method,
in association work; the need for trained
men; the young men of Nebraska; the
student in college, during vacation,
after graduation.
One of our physicians says that the
townships of the county should be just
as particular in quarantining against the
spread of contagious diseases as are the
city authorities, and gives it as his opin
ion that several of the later cases in the
city were brought from the country.
Cases could be cited where the spread of
disease could be traced to its sources,
the victims marking the track of the
contagion, as plain as the footprints of a
beast of prey. There can be no reasona
ble doubt about the benefits of a good
and effective quarantine.
People are getting so that they don't
like to talk of being held up for money;
there have been several cases lately that
we didn't hear of until Saturday, al
though they occurred some time before
that. Fred. Gottschalk, sr., though a
large man, was a small victim the same
night that von Bergen was touched. It
was at his pasture gate on Fifteenth
street, the man put a pistol into his face
and got 35 cents for his trouble, besides
Fred's honest opinion of him and his
business. If Fred, had been armed he
might have plugged his assailant as he
moved off, which he did very deliber
ately and with his back towards his
victim.
Two pretty good election stories
come from Boone county. During the
campaign J. C. Fillman of this place, a
very ardent republican, was in Albion,
and Tom Stevenson, a noted character
of the county, and a long-time kicker
on general principles, was riding along
on a very diminutive mule, and every
once in a while the air was being split
with the ye-haws of the animal, when
Fillman exclaimed, uEh, Tom, why don't
you stop that populistic braying?" The
other story is that a few days after the
the election there were two men, popu
lists on opposite sides of the street, one
being John Bixby, a newspaper man, and
the other fellow said to Bixby, "Where-
is the pop. party now, John?" "Gone
to hell" was the very brief but decided
answer. As it happened, Rev. Worley
was just in front of Bixby and he imme
diately turned round and said "Gone
home, eh I"
Brother Parks of the Telegram was
in Valley county last week and had an
opportunity of inspecting the irrigation
canal just completed there. This is
what he says:
"The ditch is about twelve miles long
and will irrigate about 10,000 acres of
land. It is all ready for operation, and
there is no doubt as to its success. Tho
ditch cost less than $30,000. The town
ships through which the ditch or canal
passes assisted in its construction un
voting bonds, but the canal is owned by
a stock company. Since the success of
the undertaking was assured land under
the ditch has increased in value from 50
to 100 per cent, and it is estimated that
the total appreciation in value of the
improved land is not less than $150,000."
Rev. Dr. Pulis of the Baptist church
preached the Thanksgiving sermon at
the Union services in the M. E. church,
delivering a very able discourse, his
theme America, as a christian nation, his
text, "Blessed is the nation whose God
is the Lord." "Righteousness exalteth a
nation. He emphasized the principle
that in this nation, not only is it God's
right to rule, but he does actually gov
ern; that among ns, as a people, it is not
public opinion that is the sovereign, but
"the God who is the Lord." The Dr.
read his discourse, and the thoughts
were so closely compressed and yet clear
that it was an intellectual feast pointing
out some of the more palpable evidences
of God's presence in national affairs.
The editor is in receipt of a letter
from Wm. Burgess of 941, Howard street,
San Francisco, from which we learn that
he still has a warm place in his heart for
his old friends here. He tells us that
his boys (except Watson, who is engaged
on the "Four Corners," a newspaper at
Wheatland), with their families, make
San Francisco their home when not
traveling, and that his daughter contin
ues at the Carlisle school in Pennsylva
nia. He extends his personal sympathy
to Judge Hensley and to E. A. Gerrard,
"in meeting the great loss of the respec
tive positions to which they aspired, but
if they were merely put up for shooting
marks the cannot regret that they got
hit so squarely that they will have no
wish to risk a contest."
The Bellwood Gazotteof last Friday
gives a half-column account of how two
young Columbus men shot and killed a
number of dogs at various farm houses
in that vicinity, and says that if they
ever come back into the neighborhood
they will meet a warm reception. The
article closes with: "It is no wonder
that so many of our farmers have taken
steps to prohibit hunting on their lands.
Such fellows as mentioned above are not
safe on any man's farm and would shoot
a hog or any other animal that happened
to come in their way. The sooner such
fellows are taught better, the safer it will
be for our community." There is cer
tainly no excuse for the kind of conduct
spoken of by the Gazette, but is it not
mistaken as to the person mentioned?
Trial by jury is regarded as ono of
the chief bulwarks of our civil and re
ligious liberty, and it undoubtedly is
when ideal juries can be furnished, and
men can have their honest differences
fairly submitted to twelve men of like or
somewhat Iiko circumstances as them
selves, and of average intelligence, but
there are times when a man's faith in
the trial by jury is very sadly shaken,
and this is very apt to be the case when
the man of average good intentions and
intelligence, sits for tho first time on a
jury that is not up to the average of
either intelligence or good intentions.
In such case, disgust is intermingled
with indignation, shame and anger al
ternating in their control of the mind to
such an extent as to make life weari
some. One man thus situated in giving
his experience a week after his trials
said that it seemed to him as though a
man when he had gone wrong would get
the sharpest lawyer he could find, and
do his best to select the biggest fool
jury he was allowed to have. And it is
too truo that such is too often the case.
Wm. Hoeffelman of Grand Prairie
was in the city Friday and renewed his
subscription to The Journal. He lately
made a trip, by wagon, across a corner
of Dakota into Minnesota to visit rela
tives. He says that we here have no
idea how the Russian thistle is playing
havoc where it has had a footing for
some time. In places along the way the
wagon track ran between thistle-thickets
on both sides. The pest grows where
no grass will grow, and in fields where
wheat and oats had been cut, the stub
ble could not readily be seen through
the thistles. Farmers put grain sacks
on their horses' legs to keep them from
getting hurt by the thorns, and often
"turn out" for an unusually big speci
men. Mr. Hoeffelman asked a farmer if
they didn't have a law against allowing
them to grow. He. replied that there
was such a law, but no one wished to
proceed against his neighbor, and so the
law was a dead letter. Mr, Hoeffelman
gives it as his opinion that, unless a very
stringent law is passed and enforced iu
Nebraska, we shall be overrun by this
pest, and lands become practically
worthless.
The departure of Rev. Charles Stan
ley Brown from Brooklyn, his former
place of work, for his field in this city,
was tho occasion to the friends of him
self and wife, of an expression of good
will towards them, so hearty and so free
that they cannot but remember it with
gratitude. Addresses were made by old
friends expressive of the faithful and
untiring zeal with which Rev. Brown had
performed his duties; the warm com
mendations of the resolutions passed by
the society, show the sincere regret held
by them "in view of his departure, and
the deep sense of loss of a faithful friend,
the appreciation of his services, the last
ing impressions of his kindly words, and
high esteem for the true manhood out
lined iu his honest work and Christian
conduct." From St. Peter's Record, pub
lished in Brooklyn, which gives a
lengthy account of the farewell meeting,
we notice that a purse was given to Mr.
Brown, and a beautiful basket of flowers
to Mrs. Brown. The new rector of Grace
Episcopal church is a man of 32 years,
thirteen years in the service in which he
is engaged, six years ordained, and he
comes to his charge here under very
favoring auspices in many respects, and
doubtless be will find ample field for his
talents, and already we hear very kindly
expressions from his parishioners in
regard to the work he is doing. Begin
ning with the next year, it is expected
that special attention will be given to
the musical services, the first Sunday
evening of the months, the services to be
chorally rendered. Thursday evenings
will be devoted to bible instruction, a
class to be organized. Bishop Wbrth
ington has, at his own expense, had the
rectory repapered and painted, and has
in other ways evidenced the substantial
interest which he feels in the parish, and
Grace church, one of the very oldest
organizations in the city, may well con
gratulate themselves on the preeent
ituation of their affairs.

Last week just as we were going to
press, details of the sad death of E. B.
Higgins, by the accidental discharge of
a pistol, wore received and given in The
Journal. There is little to add, except
that the pistol was lying on a shelf, muz
zle outward, and that when a light was
struck he was found with the muzzle of
the pistol grasped in his left hand, and
that the bullet was lodged at the back
part of the skull.
He was the oldest son of the late Judge
John G. Higgins, who met a sad fate in
death in this city just a year within a few
minutes before that of his son.
Edward was born in this city Septem
ber 16, 187C, and had lived here with the
family, except tho time of their sojourn
in Grand Island and the last six months
residence in the city of Omaha.
Ho had been a student at tho Baptist
College, Grand Island, and a law student
in Omaha. He was an exceptionally
bright young man, and his loss to his
mother, brothers and sistors and to the
community will be sincerely mourned.
The funeral took place in this city

Literary.
A few years ago the Chnutautpia circle
was tho only literary society in our city
and tho readers found it difficult to
secure new members, but times are
changing and our peoplo are moro in
terested in educational matters this
winter than ever before. Several read
ing circles are well attended, besides
other clubs or societies which are edu
cational in character. Wo have endeav
ored to get the names of all and give our
readers the result below.
The Chautauqua is tho oldest reading
circle, the members are: Mr. and Mrs.
C. A. Brindley, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Mc
Allister, Mr. and Mrs. Herrick, Rev. and
Mrs. Bross, Dr. and Mrs. Nan in an, Rev.
and Mrs. Brown and Miss Matthews.
The largest circle is tho St. Catharine
reading organized last winter and has a
course similar to tho Chautauqua, but is
limited to members of tho Catholic
church. The members are: Mesdames
Geitzen, Walker, O'Brien, Mulvahil and
Misses Lena Geitzen, Sarah, Jennie and
Agnes Fitzpatrick, Minnie and Lida
McMahon, Kate Vogel, Mao Gushing,
Alice Quinn, Shannahau and Messrs.
Cox, Hart, O'Brien, Burns, Ryan and
Browner.
The "Tuesday afternoon class" was
organized last winter. They are now
reading George Eliot's works. The
members are: Mesdames Clark Gray,
Clinton Gray, Reeder, Post, Page, Kra
mer and Misses Nellie Post, Clara Leh
man, Grace Taylor and Mary Henry.
The "history club" organized this
winter is considered by its members to
be very beneficial. Those who are stu
dying .aro: Mrs. Merril,Miss Ida Martin,
Mr. and Mrs. H. Hockenberger and Ed.
Hockenbergcr.
In the line of educational progress
there are several "helps." The Y. M. C.
A. has given a great opportunity to many
who can not afford to buy literature,
their tables being supplied with several
dailies and a good lino of magazines, be
sides several hundred volumes of books,
mostly donated by friends of the asso
ciation. The Viking club last winter was very
successful and paid out a great deal of
money for leading magazines and pa
pers; the membership has fallen off but
the club still have their rooms over Bar
ber's store.
The public schools own a library in
tne nign scnooi uuuuing mat is en
joyed by pupils, and that is valuable for
tho reference books.
a mgnc scnooi is now in progress,
Monday and Friday evenings in the high
school building, with I. H. Britel and
L. H. Leavy as teachers, and much in
terest is manifested. It might be well

essary to work during the day to earn
their living, to considor whether they
cannot take advantago of the night
school. An hour and a half from 7:30 to
'. is thus taken, and it gives an opportu
nity to ambitious boys to gain n working
knowledgo of ieninanship, commercial
arithmetic and book-keeping.
Wo mako this summary to show tho
strong tendency towards intellectual
culture good literature and irood
morals go hand in hand, and the rational
faculty is the strong element of tho lifo
of any community.
The Journal, years ago, advocated a
free, public library, and we have a state
law that can be applied to tho situation
with wonderful effect, if those who feel
tho need of such an institution will but
combine their efforts in securing it.
Very few persons desire to invest hun
dreds of dollars in works of referenco
that all should have access to. but every
self-respecting community nowadays,
has a good, freo public library, and Co
lumbus should not bo behind hand.

Tho mutual friends of Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Lawrence of Cleveland, Ohio, for
merly of this city, will be pleased to read
tho following, dated Now 26:
"Friend Turner: I am pleased to be
ablo to inform you that Alice and I have
settled our differences out of court and
that we are living together as man and
wife, and that everything is prac
tically tho the same as before suit was
brought. I consider that it is a wise
settlement and probably the best for all
parties concerned. We have six children
who need tho care of each of U3.
Thanking you for the interest and
kindness you have taken in our affairs,
I remain, Very truly yours,
W. II. Lawrence."
We Sweep the World.
It is an old saying that a "new broom
sweeps clean" but when we say "we
sweep the world" wo mean that among
all tho railways of the world none stands
higher in tho estimation of the public, in
all especial points, than the Chicago.
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. It is the
only lino west of Chicago which runs
electric-lighted, steam-heated and vesti
buled trains between Chicago, St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and between Chicago
and Omaha. Try it. F.A.Nash,
