Cedar Rapids Repub lican. Engine Co. No. 1, had a meeting Monday evening, but did no business of a nature that they would desire to make public. The Fremont Herald says that Harry Markell has tendered his resignation as Y. secretary to take place the 1st of January. Now is the time to subscribe for TnE Journal and the Semi-Weekly Lincoln Journal, both for 82 a year, when paid in advance. The Tribune of Fremont says that there is an epidemic among the children there which somewhat resembles catar- j rhal fever.

He is not looking as '-stalwart" as he used to do when a republican of the strictest sect. Harry, son of Ed. Clark, had the lit tle linger of his right hand considerably hurt while playing around freight cars in the U. P. yards. One of our citizens thinks if the city gets through till May next without ex pending less than 8200 a month for aid, it will do very well. A county supervisor gives a bond for 810,000 and sometimes receive as high as 830 for his salary for the year. "How high is that?" See Mr. Wiley's advertisement in today's JontXAL. It speaks for itself very fully and clearly, and he solicits a portion of your trade. -Mrs. S. A. Weddell has opened a dress-making establishment in rooms over Barber's store.

Benster of Silver Creek is the inventor of a wind-mill, on which he has lately secured a patent. Mr. Benster will have an office in this city. A gentleman of this city, while trav eling one day last week found a silver tea-spoon well preserved, and engraved on the handle "B.

James Bell last week presented the ladies' aid society with 5,000 lbs. of flour, which they will apportion out to the needy of the city. David City News. Slight snow here Monday 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and as it is at this writing snowing both east and west of us, we may reasonably look for more here. Robert McKean. who has been stu dying dentistry at Chicago since he was here several years ago, has returned to the city, and is now with Mr. Haugha wout. Becher, Jaeggi t Co. insure build ings and personal property against fire, lightning and cyclones, in good and reliable companies at lowest current rates, tf Mrs. Charles Stanley Brown sang solos at the "Y." services Sunday after noon and at the Episcopal church in the evening, both of which were spoken of very highly.

Leave orders at Stillman's drug store, tf The crooks at Fremont don't always wait till the shades of night come down. Lust week there a house was burglarized at 2:30 in the afternoon and 838 worth of clothing taken. Herman Brodfuehrer and Mahlon Clother passed through the city Thurs day on their way to Omaha to attend the trial of the man who burglarized the I fiaite uenter postomce. Mr. S. L. McCoy was down Satur day for the first time since the death of his daughter. Mrs. McCoy is still under the weather. Pearl did not have diph theria, though he, too, has been sick. Rev. Goodale is now at Rapid City, South Dakota. Mrs. Goodale is in Brunswick, Germany, and, Mr. Goodale says, that she is in good health, didn't lose a meal in the voyage of two weeks on the ocean. The Monroe Republican says that work is being done on the new road be tween Oconee and Columbus and they will soon have a first-class road. The new part is located just south of Jack Dineen's land. William Peters, while here looking after a farm to rent for the coming sea son, received word from ms Lome in Central City, that his little girl had been killed by the kick of a horse. He re turned home Friday. The Monroe Looking Glass says: Mrs. A. L. Dack of Galva, HI., died on Thanksgiving day H. J. Hendryx has gotten out an injunction to prevent the owners of the remainder of the swamp from ditching their land. The St. Agnes and Ladies Guild will give a pop corn social at Fitzpatrick's hall Friday evening, Dec. 14th. A select musical program will be rendered, fol lowed by a sale of fancy work, pop corn and candy. Admission 10 cents. If you are looking for scarf pins, ladies' pin sets, ladies' watch chains, breast-pins, also emblematic pins, all suitable for Christmas presents, go to The Fair, Eleventh street. They are selling them cheaper than anybody else. 1 John Gondriug of this city, and the late J. B. Tschudy met each other once at St. Gotthard's Hospice in Switzer land, one night when they were boys and soldiers, probably in the year '49. Mr. Gondring attended the funeral here Friday. On the margin of The Jourxal, or on the wrapper, following your name you will find the date to which your sub scription is paid or accounted for. If the date is past, you are respectfully re quested to renew your subscription. See rates elsewhere. Starting with Oct. 15th, 1894, TnE Colujihcs Jourxal subscription rates are 81.50 a year, if paid in advance, otherwise 82.00 a year. Settlements up to that date must be made on the basis of the former rate. All premiums now advertised hold good. On the 18th of December, on the premises in Wilson precinct, Colfax county, are to be sold various articles belonging to the WTilson Cheese Com panygenerator, cans, platform scales, curd mill, etc. Some of our readers en gaged in making cheese may find there appliances that they need. Mrs. Charles Stanley Brown, (pupil of London Academy, England, also of Prof. U. C. Burnap, Mns. Doc, and Mrs. Charles Tyler Dutton, of Now York), will receive pupils for singing and vocal culture. Terms moderate. Apply at the Thurston, or Episcopal rectory. Mrs. G. O. Burns entertained the Epworth League of the M. E. church last Friday evening at a poor folks' party, and such a crowd of destitute people would be hard to find even in western Nebraska. A hearty supper was enjoyed, consisting of mush and milk. A little daughter of J. H. Miles was taken sick with diphtheria Friday and the premises were quarantined. Mr. Miles is son-in-law and neighbor of Morgan Watkins, from whose family a little one was taken several days since. Mr. Miles' little girl, we learn, is very seriously ill. At Judge Hudson's court Thursday there was considerable interest manifest ed in the trial of John Brownrick and Jo. Clark on a charge of stealing a hog from Otto Merz. The chief testimony relied upon was that of Stein, the ex- assistant engineer at tho city water works. The Judge discharged the pris oners. The election of officers of the W. R. C. was held Saturday, Dec. 8, 1894. President, Sirs. W. N. Hensley; senior Y. P., Mrs. Wolford; junior Y. P., Mrs. Rector; treasurer, Idia Meagher; chap lain, Mrs. Tannahill; conductor, Re becca Brock; guard, Mrs. Wilson: del egate, Idia Meagher; alternate, Mrs. Meagher. Mr. Huntsman, who had such a racket with Columbus policemen some weeks since, was in the city Wednesday, stopping from morning till noon, on his way home from his Wyoming hunting tour. His right arm is still disabled, and he supposes one of the fingers of the right hand will be stiff from the wound he received. J. M. Curtis took the train yesterday for Monroe. From there he will "catch" a ride up to Lee Beatty's. He took with him a "grip sack" (but no one knew what was in it), and a shot gun. He didn't say how long he would be gone, but you can make up your mind that when "Fatty" returns, game will be scarce in that neighborhood. Mrs. Catherine J. Walker, wife of John P. Walker, editor of the Hum phrey Democrat, passed from this life November 30th, 1894. Mrs. Walker waB married to Mr. Walker in Dubuque, la., January 23d, 1894, where her body was taken for burial. The Dubuque Herald speaks in highest praise of her many beautiful qualities. George McFarland thinks Nebraska is much better than the Pacific coast the flavor of our fruit especially, but he does wish there was as much of it for quantity as they have. At McMinnville he met Charles S. Clark, son of E. Y., and formerly of this office, who is now publishing a paper at North Yamhill, and doing very nicely. Policeman Brandt arrested two men Saturday wanted at Tilden (twenty miles from Norfolk) for stealing watches, jew elry, etc., from McDonald Bros. It was little Jacob Trimpe who found a box containing the valuables, near the coal chute, and spoke of two men who, he thought, had placed it there. The theft was committed Dec. 4, and $50 reward J offered for the conviction of the thieTee.from here. There is the periodical complaint again that one small place should have so many names. The first railroad sta tion east of Columbus on the U. P. is called Benton, the post-office is Rich land, and the town is Spitley it would seem as though Uncle Sam, the U. P. authorities and the proprietors of the place ought to get together and give the place just one only name. Rudolph Wurdeman returned Sat urday from Europe, where he had been on a visit, but was called back shortly after his arrival, by a cablegram inform ing him of the serious illness of his child. He started immediately, and re turned as above stated. His child died the Monday following; Mrs. Wurdeman, who had been sick with the same dis ease, typhoid fever, is reported as con valescent. We learn that Mr. F. A. Colvin of the Telegram has purchased a newspa per, the Independent, at Randolph, Fre mont county, Iowa, and that after Jan uary 1st, Columbus will be deprived of his services. He has served in an all around capacity with the Telegram, writer, reporter, compositor, etc., and done his work satisfactorily. The com munity to which he goes can well be congratulated on the fact. Rev. St. Clair braves the chilly winds and preaches to a charge in Wayne county A Polander giving the name of Egnee Wojtkleux and claiming to be from Columbus was found wandering around in Fairview Monday and was brought before the board of insanity and pronounced insane. He is about twenty two years of age and is completely daft. The sheriff of Platte county has been notified. Madison Reporter. Policeman Brandt tells us that Wed nesday night Mr. Stein sought his pro tection from a crowd of about fifty men who had a rope and were threatening to hung him, on the supposition that he had been acting the part of informer, and furnishing U. P. detectives with the names of those who had been taking coal from the company. Brandt took him away from the crowd and locked him up in the city jail, where he proved to be safe from tho fury of tho crowd. Some time back a newspaper pub lished in Illinois brought suit against forty-three men who would not pay their subscriptions, and obtained judgment in each case for the full amount of the claim. Twenty-eight made affidavit that they owned no more property than the law allowed them, thus preventing at tachment. Then, under the supreme court decision, they were arrested for petty larceny and put under bonds of S300 each. All but six gave bonds, but the six went to jail. Imprint. Harry L. Tostevin, representing the Western Newspaper Union of Omaha, was in tne city xnursuay. we gave a laughable account of some of his recent railroad rides in the southern part of the state, on a train which, he said, was due nowhere at any special time, and so the conductor and brakeman had their guns along, and stopped now and again to hunt quail. The same train also stop ped at the various towns long enough to allow coal men to get off and canvass with the dealers in black diamonds. It was a thorough-going "accommodation" train. The ladies of Columbus who have been attending the Delsman sale the past week have made big wages. Goods of all kinds went so cheap that a few dollars secured a big lot of goods, and in these hard times every dollar saved is more than two dollars earned. Among the regular attendants we notice Mrs. Whitmoyer, Mrs. Speice, Mrs. Gerrard, Mrs. Willard, Mrs. Brugger and many others, who seem to know when they are getting bargains. This week, from 10 till 4, the Rale will go on every day and our citizens will secure many cheap bargains. The subject of irrigation is attract ing unusual attention. At the Hutchin son, (Kane.) Irrigation Convention, held Nov. 23-24, there were more practical irrigators in attendance than ever before assembled at an irrigation convention in the United States. The discussions were all very practical and instructive. They will be reproduced in full in the Decem ber number of the Irrigation Farmer. Every farmer in this country should have a copy of tms paper, xt is tne only paper that is devoted wholly to the sub ject of irrigation farming. It costs only S1.00 b year, and whether you expect to irrigate or not you can not afford to be without it. Send to the Irrigation Farmer, Salina, Kansas, for a sample copy and examine it for yourself. It does look as though an irrigation ditch, especially on a large scale, is not to bo a success for Columbus or vicinity. It was thought that the latest venture would be a success, but now it seems that, for some reason or other, those who were favorable to entering into a con tract for water to be furnished, have concluded that they didn't want any water, and so, no contracts, no ditch. We. are told that farmer after farmer along tho line would now demand 840 an acre for land, besides damages, and only about 2,000 acres would be con tracted for between Monroe and the line of tho Sixth principal meridian west of this city. This (Tuesday) morning, with the ground all covered with snow, and more of it seemingly almost ready to fall, puts the thought of ditch water just a little further off, but the right thing to do seems to be to dig a ditch. O. J. Vandyke of Grand Island, state lecturer of the A. O. U. W., was in the city Monday evening and delivered an address to the members of Columbia Lodge No. 2CS and others, giving some very interesting facta with reference to the order, dwelling paiticularly on what is being done for destitute members in the western part of the state to enable them to keep up their assessments, to provide them with food and clothing, and otherwise to look after their in terests. There are in the United States and Canada 340,000 members of the order and during the last year 826.30 was paid out for every second, day and night, in benefits. Nebraska has state jurisdiction, and with her 18,000 mem bers it is estimated that 2,000 will need assistance. Already 811,000 have been raised for this purpose (not in enforced assessments) but in free-will gifts of the brethren to their fellows! To this fund Columbia Lodge, with a mem bership of forty, has contributed 825, and so the good work goes on.

XX. 505 Eleventh St.. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiitiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir Policeman Brandt has to stand the brunt of the joke, but he declares that the doctor made tho mistake, telling him to quarantine the residence of Thos. Flvnn. which he nroceeded to do. He found Mrs. Flynn at home, nursing a case of rheumatism, and was proceed- j ing to tack up a scarlet fever card ac- cording to the doctor's instructions, when she very emphatically told him the situation of affairs. Mr. Flynn, in the meantime, had met some intimate friends down town and before they spoke he knew from their manner that there was something amiss. They in quired anxiously which one of his chil dren was sick, but it was not long until tho facts developed. Brandt reported of course to tho city physician, who then told him that he was to quarantine Thomas Heating's place. Detectives John A'izzard and John Tobin of the U. P. force have been at work here several days, and it is under stood that they have unearthed a num ber of cases of thievery that have attract ed attention here lately. Ono of the cases that came np incidentally was that of the hog stealing from Merz tried bo fore Justice Hudson last week. They found about stolen coal, corn, hay, corn stalks and all manner of stuff, but the one case that was tried and the supposed criminals not held, the detectives got tired working on outside leads. One of the cases we cannot refrain from men tioning was whore a load of cornstalks was stolen and the heavier of the two men got into the middle of the load to make it weigh heavier, and the load was thus sold. The detectives have a large booK full of what has been done here and hereabouts, but they are tired for the present, as to prosecutions. The body of a man was found Thurs day morning in the ditch along the rail road about two miles west of Silver Creek. In a pocket was found tho ad dress, J. A. Couter, Fremont, Neb., Hotel Davenport. It is supposed to be the body of Harry Byers, a carriage painter. Ho was in Fremont the day before and claimed he had a brother-in-law at Cen tral City and was going to beat his way there on the fast mail. He was no doubt beating his way on some train, fell off and was killed. Since placing the fore going in type, we notice the following from the Silver Creek Times: '"Thomas Antony says he was in Columbus Wed nesday night and saw a man put off the fast mail that answers the description of the deceased. Says he talked with him and he said he would jump Xo. 7, the next train, for Central City where he was going. From Anthony's more par ticular description of the party he saw in Columbus there can be little or no doubt he was the man found dead. The same man was probably seen in Silver Creek on No. 7 on tho blind baggage by J. J. Wanke and M. H. Jeffrey." Rev. Dr. Samuel Goodale is one of the most remarkable men of our city, for we claim him, notwithstanding that he, these latter years, sojourns here and there he has doubtless lived longer in this place than in any other. Last month he attended at Brooklyn, New York, the sixty-first anniversary meeting of a col lege fraternity, the Psi Upsilon Club of Union College, instituted by himself and six others, three of whom yet survive, besides himself. The Standard Union of that city gives a lengthy account of the last meeting of the club, and from it we clip the part interesting to Columbus readers: "The house was handsomely decorated with flowers and flags, including the lately adopted Fraternity flag of the club taken by the Peary Auxiliary Expe dition to the Arctic last summer, and after a social and informal hour, the venerable founder was introduced by President Fox to a company which close ly filled the large parlors on the first floor and overflowed in the halls and upon the staircases. Dr. Goodale, whose eye is not dimmed nor his natural force abated, and on whose head is not a gray hair in spite of his more than eighty years, spoke for half an hour in clear, firm tones, with a readiness, wit and precision which would serve as an excel lent model for any of the younger men in the company. He told of the early days of the Fraternity, of its present develop ment and prospects, and added an earnest plea for the proposed new chap ters of the Universities of Wisconsin and Chicago."

Bittell, one of Platte counties pioneer settlers, who lived southwest of town, died last Saturday from internal injuries received whilo working with a road scraper 6ome time ago.

The funeral was held Wednesday and the in terment made in St. Bernard cemetery Herman Pieper died Sunday morn ing after a lingering illness with con sumption. The funeral which was large ly attended, was held Tuesday, Rev. Frank delivering the funeral address, and tho remains were interred in the Boheet cemetery.

Horses brought from S10 to 868, cows 818 to 823, shoats averaged about 83.50. Corn sold at 53c per bushel and hay at 30 per ton. The sale amount ed to about 82,000. ..Mrs. Gerhard Asche is recovering from her long illness. Leigh World.

Occidental lodge is in a very flourishing condition, and we notice is in the front rank when there are honors to be bestowed. Grand Chan cellor Commander Shuraan, for instance, selected Occidental as the meeting-place for a score of lodges this evening, to ex emplify unwritten work of the order, and this is but one of many instances showing the regard in which Occidental is held.

P. is a noble order, and when its principles are so inculcated that they become an active force in tho everyday living of its members, then only can the real jewels be apparent, for, after all, how far can men go in the discovery of principles and ideas which lead to the Highest, without loyalty by use and in use to what they already know? True it is that Pythians have steadily held to the great practical doc trine of life: "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." When in need of anything in the line of job work cards, wedding invita tions, dance programs, letter heads, en velopes, sale bills, receipts, notes, scale books, bank checks, shipping tags, blanks of any kind, in short all sorts of printing, give The Journal a call.

In fact there seems to be a feeling prevalent that a move will be made in this direction by the next legislature. At present we have but ono institution of this kind Peru Normal, at Peru, Nebr., the south ern part of the state. The growing demand for trained teachers is apparent to all, and should be given due consid eration. Tho present Normal is doing a good work. President Norton is one of our leading educators. The school, however, is almost inaccessible to the many teachers of western Nebraska. Hence the demand for another institu tion of this kind." We think Columbus is just the place for the XormaL for many reasons. We have railway service that is not surpass ed by any city in the state, especially from the north and west, the localities from which the larger number of teach ers would come. Columbus has not one state building and with the proper amount of work we ought to procure this. Labor for a splendid public li brary and the State Normal. The two will go well together. Taken Up.
