Now is the time to subscribe for The JouknaIi and the Semi-Weekly Lincoln Journal, both for 2 a year, when paid in advance. A. M. Jennings and family returned to Columbus from St. Edward Wednes day, bringing their household goods with them. A masquerade poverty party is to be held this (Wednesday) evening at the home of the Misses Wellman, Eighth and Kununer streets.

Albion Argus. At the regular meeting Monday of Pioneer H. & L. Co. Bert Galley and J. N. Kilian were selected as delegatas to tho Nebraska Volunteer Firemen's associa tion at Norfolk, Feb. 15-17. The annual ball will be held as usual, Feb. 22. The world seems to have tired a little of the advice against extravagance being mostly aimed at the young, which probably accounts for the great popu larity of the new play "The Prodigal Father," which is having such a run in tho cities. On the margin of The Journal, 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. R. Knmmer, in from the south side Saturday, says that Mr. Morrell (charged with the forgery of a note for S850, which he got the money on at one of tho Polk county banks), was convicted last week and sentenced to the penitentiary. The proof was conclusive. Starting with Oct. loth, 1894, The Columbus Journal subscription rates are $1.50 a year, if paid in advance, otherwise 82.00 a year. Settlements up to that date innst be made on the basis of the former rate. All premiums now advertised bold good. Mrs. Charles Stanley Brown, (pupil of London Academy, England, also of Prof. U. C. Burnap, Mus. Doc., and Mrs. nanes Tyler Dutton, of New York), will receive pupils for singing and vocal culture. Terms moderate. Apply at the Thurston, or Episcopal rectory. A. M. Jennings has loft with us a very fine specimen of cotton raised the past season at St. Edward, Nebraska. In its glass case this product makes a fine appearance, suggestivethat if "Corn is king," Cotton may be called queen, thus giving it a second place in the ag ricultural world. The Farmers' club will have its next meeting, Friday, Dec. 28, at 31 o'clock, at Mrs. Lockhart's. At the November meeting John Tannahill gave a talk on irrigation and the cheapest ways of ob taining water, which he will continue at the next meeting. This among other interesting subjects. An unknown man was found dai! Monday about four miles from Platte Center on Elm creek. Coroner Heintz was notified and his jury, after examina tion, returned a verdict of death by sui cide. The body was brought to this city yesterday and the funeral will take place today from Gass' undertaking rooms. Union Camp, Sons of Veterans, at their last meeting elected the following officers for the coming year: Captain, E. P. Dnssel; first lieutenant, C. M. Young; second lieutenant, J. B. Tschudy ; council, John Tannahill, Frank Wnrde man, E. II. Jenkins; delegates, Jenkins and Wurdeman; alternates, Tannahill and Galley. W. W. Manuington was in the city Saturday. In fact it was a great day for out-of-town people, the nice weather of the forenoon bringing them out in great numbers, tho better (that is to say) wetter weather of the afternoon sending them all to cover. Among those from the south side we noticed R. B. Kummer, J. E. Ernst, Chris Meedel, John Engel and Fred Meedel. Marvin Broadbent, who is teaching at the Fenton school house, south of town, was engaged in a wrestling match with tho boys in that neighborhood one evening last week, and had his leg partly thrown out of joint near the knee. The boys all got together and succeeded in replacing tho joint, but Marvin has had a pretty sore limb ever since. Cedar Rapids Republican. A. P. Kittell, civil engineer from North Platte, is in the city. He has been engaged to superintend matters for tho irrigation company. He has had twelve years' experience in the work in Col orado, Utah, Arizona and Wyoming. Yesterday morning, accompanied by Clayton Gates, O. Nelson and C. A. Woosley, he started in on the survey, bo ginning at a point on the Loup, so we are informed. J. E. Mann, M. D., oculist and aurist and eye and ear surgeon to Presbytorian hospital, Omaha, will bo at the office of L. C. Voss, M. D., on Friday, Dec. 21st, where he can be consulted by those hav ing any trouble with their eyes, ear, nose or throat. Operations done at your own home and glasses fitted in a manner to best preserve the sight. This chance to consult a specialist should be accepted as it may prevent an early trip to the city. Tnn Columbus Journal has started a boom for tho location of a new state normal in that city on account of its convenience as a railroad center. If we could secure another normal school for this state we know of no better location than Columbus. The present normal is located at the southeastern extremity of tho state, and is as easy of access to the people of Iowa and Missouri as to those of our own state. Cedar Rapids Re publican. At an adjourned meeting of Baker post G. A. R. Saturday evening J. R. Brock was elected commander for the ensuing year; R. W. Young, S. V. C; R. L. Adams, J. V. C; T. M. Wilson, Chap lain; John Tannahill, Quartermaster; R. L. Rossiter, O. D.; Josiah McFarland, O. G.; E. O. Rector, delegate to the encamp ment, John Wise, alternate. The next meeting (Jan. 5), it was thought best to hold in the evening so that, if the W. R. C. and S. of V. wished to unite in public installation of officers, the could do so. The evening congregations of Grace (Episcopal) church havo been steadily growing. Last Sunday night Mrs. Evans sang as a solo, ''Nearer, My God, to Thee," with organ, cornet and violin accompaniment. Next Sunday evening Mrs. Chambers will sing a solo; thiB feature of the evening service will be kept up, so far as possible. On the first Sunday of each month will be held a special musical service, when evening prayer will be intoned. A hearty invi tation is extended to all. Interesting revival meetings were held in the Presbyterian church tho last two weeks, closing Sabbath ovening. Rev. Dr. S. T. Davis of Omaha assisted the pastor most of the time rendering valuable help. Dr. Davis is a ready, forcible and instructive preacher. His preludes hit hard and cut close. As a result of the meetings, eight were re ceived into tho church last Sabbath and more havo signified their intention to come, while some will likely unite with other churches with whom they have been associated. Half-past one Saturday afternoon, as we write this item, rain is falling at a very satisfactory rate; streets are already muddy, the sky is overcast with clouds that seem to bo full of moisture. There aro various estimates as to how long such a rain can continue in order to fill the desire of the average man, and the range is from one to two or three weeks. One farmer has already (after a half hour's rain), said that it was worth more than six inches of snow. If now we only had reservoirs and ditches scooped out to hold some of the extra moisture! Drs. Martyn, Evans & Geer have an arrangement for disinfecting a person that is pretty scientific. You step into a small room, holding your nostrils close and in your month a rubber tube con nected with the outside world and through which you get fresh, pure air. The sulphur fumes penetrate every par ticle of your clothing, and in the ten minutes that you 6pend in the box, it is presumed that every living organism on your body or in your clothing has been deprived of life and power of evil. If you have breathed none (or but little) of the sulphur smoke, the process is attend- i ed with no ill effects, E. B. Hammond has just finished putting down a well for John Ryan, in Colfax precinct, which is a wonder in itself and is a great advertisement for Ed. and his machine. For years Mr. Ryan has had no well on his farm, not being able to secure water in the many attempts, and has had to haul water for use. The well just completed is 285 feet deep and the last 150 feet was drilled through solid'stone. It was slow work, but makes a fine well and of course the water is plentiful as it raised to its nat ural level in the well. Schuyler Quill. "Men of Omaha" is an interesting little 8-page paper published by the "Y" of that city and in it we find a very appreciable article concerning Edward B. Higgins, son of the late Judge Hig gins, whose sad death was such a severe blow to his widowed mother and his fatherless brothers and sisters. It says 'he was a true, bright, manly young man, talented, most highly valued in the office in which he was employed." There is a mistake, however, in saying that Edward had joined the "Y" at Omaha. Ho was a member here, having joined some months ago. Monroe Looking Glass: H. J. Hen dryx informs us that he has offered the parties who are ditching the swamp north of him, the use of his outlet free, and only objects to them changing the water from its natural course which they are not entitled to do. Certainly they should turn the water into its natural channel where it runs upon Mr. Hen dry:' land as required in all laws regard ing water courses S. L. McCoy of Columbus was in town a couple of days this week looking over the ground with a view to locating a harness shop. Mo. called and entertained ns with a few imitation bugle calls. Christmas day (Tuesday, Doc. 25), will be duly observed by the Episcopal church. The service begins at 11 o'clock. After morning prayer and sermon the holy communion will be celebrated, to which all baptised christians, of Evange lical churches, are cordially welcomed. As this is probably the only Protestant service in Columbus on that day, the other pastors have kindly offered to announce this invitation from their pul pits. The Grace church choir, assisted by extra, well-known singers, will render, under the efficient direction of Mr. Schroeder, appropriate music, and Mrs. Brown will sing tho famous Christmas hymn '"Nazareth." 1894 & HOLM MCE. 18941 an Bl The Madison Reporter has this to say concerning tho men captured lifre by our police, and wanted at Tilden for robbing a store of $300 worth of goods: "John Martin the leader had on his per son an overcoat stolen from McDonald's store. There is evidently a gang that makes its headquarters at Omaha and comes out as far as Columbus and then scatters. Martin confided to the madam of one of Columbus' public residences where he was hiding that he intended to tap tho Columbus post office the ovening he was arrested. Postmaster W. E. Pow ers came down fjom Pierce to see the prisonors thinking they might be the fellows who robbed the post office at that place a week ago." The premises of M. K. Turner, corner of Kuramor and Ninth streets, were quarantined Sunday. Tho case is that of Rena Turner, aged nine years, Dr. Voss pronouncing it a light attack, so far as developed, of scarlet fever. Three members of the family, the mothor and two sons, have been tem porarily residing at the farm north of the city. The mother came in Sunday and will stay with tho afflicted, giving them her entire time and attention. The father, after being fumigated, left tho premises Monday morning, under written permit of City Physician Evans, and will remain away, unless a change for the worse should take place, when he will return and stay. N. P. Larson, who went to Louisiana on the 20th ult., with a party of eight, returned from there on Saturday, and reported having a splendid trip and says tho country he visited Crowley and vicinity is beyond his expectations in all particulars. Mr. Larson stopped off two days at Houston and one day at Beaumont, Texas, and looked over some land which he says took his fancy very much. During his visit at Beaumont he picked some oranges and figs from the trees and very kindly remembered the editor with a sample of fine fruit Rev. Pulis of tho Columbus Baptist church, preached at the Baptist church at this place Sunday evening, in the place of Rev. Wirth. Rev. Pulis will preach hero again Sunday evening. Platte Center Signal. The Herald of Schuyler has this to say: ''The irrigation meeting called at Pence's hall Monday night was not as well attended as tho importance of the subject would warrant. Messrs. Gates and Nelson explained the plans of the company. The incorporators are Orlan do Nelson, Clayton A. Gates, Ira E. Gates, Charles A. Woosley and Elon W. Nelson. The purpose of this incorpora tion is, as the title suggests, to construct a canal principally for irrigation purpo ses. The canal is to start from a point in the Loup river about two and one-half miles southeast of Genoa, Nebr., and run through Platte county and through Col fax county about as far as Schuyler, there emptying either into Shell creek or the Platte river, making a ditch about forty miles in length and carrying snft cient water to irrigate at least 150,000 acres. Articles of incorporation have been filed at Lincoln." Already, what The Journal had to say about the location here of a state normal school is having its effect. Let our representatives and senator elect be encouraged by our citizens to look after this matter, and we believe that the close of the coming session of the legislature will find the project well begun. There is absolutely no single reason that we know of why the additional institution (which is certainly needed and in great demand), should not be located right here where so many railroads center. There is no other place in all this north ern Nebraska except Norfolk that could begin to compare with Columbus, and that already has one state institu tion, so would not be seriously thought of for this one. Let a splendid, free pnblic library be fully equipped and put in first-class running order by the city, and that one fact alone, in connection with all our conceded other advantages, will do much towards securing the state normal school. Remember Christmas comes but once a year and it's a long time a coming. The great question is, then, What shall I buy for a Christmas Gift? We will answer the question. Call at J. H.

Yours respectfully, Lrtf 1 505 Eleventh St., COLTJMBTJS, jSTEBR-ASKA. Guv 3H fijjSH CfYV We heard for the first time the other day an incident concerning Rev. Stevens, formerly of Grace (Episcopal) church of this city, that may prove of interest to some of his acquaintance who used to wonder why it was that Mr. Stevens was so active, physically, as well as other wise. It seems but to the incident. The society at Lincoln made a contract with a man to move their church to a new site, for a certain sum of money. After getting it to the middle of a very public thoroughfare, tho contractor con cluded that his compensation should be considerably increased and so notified the society. The city authorities, after a day or so, began to make complaint, and Rev. Stevens went to the contractor and mado a clean-cut presentation of the case, telling him that if, after a set time, he did not proceed to fulfill his agree ment, tho contract would be let to some body else and he would receive no pay for what ho had done. The contractor was very indignant over this and in the midst of a crowd of people on the thor oughfare called tho reverend all the names he could lay his tongue to, but without disturbing his equanimity, until ho finally applied a vile epithet reflect ing upon Mr. Stevens' ancestry, at which the preacher of the gospel deliberately took off his coat and' told the contractor that he could bear most things in tho way of talk, but he would not let that pass, und told him that now he would whip him. This was an astonishing assertion in the ears of the bystanders, as the contractor was a largo, active, strong man, and the preacher certainly looked tho opposito of largo and strong. The event, however, was a demonstration of the scripture truth that the battle is not always to the strong, because it is said that the blows rained thick and fast and hard on the contractor, and that for some reason he could deliver no tolling blows in return. The preacher was a trained athlete, but was in the habit of using his knowledge for health ful recreation only. Fancy Groceries, Citizens' Meeting. Tho secretary has furnished us with the following report of tho meeting Tuesday ovening of last week. Mayor Phillips was elected chairman and Rev. A. J. Rogers secretary. After an informal discussion as to best meth od of organization for relief of the poor, the following ladies wero selected to act as ward committoes: First ward Mrs. I. Sibbernsen, Mrs. E. O.

Chambers, Miss Ida Meagher. A central committee was selected, con sisting of Mayor Phillips, Supervisor Speice, Jonas Welch, and one lady from each ward (to bo chosen by the ward committee), to supervise, car for, man age and distribute all supplies. The ward committees and tho central committees were authorized to provide ways and means for tho collection and distribution of supplies. Tho secretary was directed to notify all persons of their appointment and that they meet Dec. 15 at 7:30 p. m., in the council chamber to organize. Ordered that the proceedings of this meeting be published in all city papers. A vote of thanks was extended to retiring com mittees. Adjourned. Taken Up.

A special meeting of tho board on tho suggestion of members Galley, Lehman and Turner was convened at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon to look into a case of corporal punishment. All members of the board were pres ent, besides Sup't Williams, Principal Weaver of tho Third ward, Miss Ward, teacher, and tho complaining parent, Mrs. Weddel. Bert Weddel, tho pupil in tho case, is a lad ten years of age, in attendance on Miss Ward's school. Tho punishment which was specially complained of was inllicted by Principal Weaver. Statements of all concerned were heard at length by tho board, after which, on motion of Schupbach, Presi dent Henry was authorized to appoint a competent physician of the city to ex amine tho boy, and the board adjourned to -1 o'clock tho next day. Tho board met again Saturday after noon at i o'clock, as per adjournment, tho session lasting two hours. Dr. Evans, physician appointed, mado his report in writing, which was read by him and directed to be placed on file. Thero was considerable discussion con cerning the caso which 'finally resulted in the adoption of a resolution offered by Schupbach, in substance approving of tho first punishment (inflicted by the teacher, Miss Wardj, and of the second by Mr. Weaver, principal, but censuring Mr. Weaver for tho last infliction, as being too severe and might havo been obviated, and warning him against a recurrence of such punishment. Taylor moved to amend by striking out the words after obviated, which was not agreed to. Taylor then offered a substitute em bodying his views, which vrzs defeated by a vote of four to two.
