We learn that Clarence Newman very much enjoyed the eating of the chicken pie. How much, only himself can tell. Will Lehman and Ernest Gerrard returned Friday from Lincoln. Good ! reports come concerning these univer I sity men. Samuel Reinke (brother of Charles ! Reinke of this city), died Thursday at i his home in Bismark township, aged 50 ears. Ab. Lash, conductor on the Norfolk branch, has gone to Oklahoma, and Hugh Compton has taken his run while he is away. i W. A. McAllister was at Lincoln last week, engaged in trying the case of i Thompson v. Gerrard, before the U. S. I land office. ' It seemed for a very little while j Monday morning, as though we were to j have colder weather, with wind, but it didn't last long. i The poverty masquerade ball at the home of the Misses Well man Tuesday evening of last week was highly enjoyed by those present. Engineer Campbell of Denver, who t had been at St. Edward, where he has a farm, stopped over in the city, going on to Denver Saturday evening. Mrs. W. B. Rochon of Bell wood is so dangerously ill that her recovery is des paired of by her relatives. She is a sister of David Smith of this city.

Columbus furnished seven witnesses to attend court at Madison Wednesday last against the Tilden robbers, one of whom, Martin, was convicted and will be sent to the penitentiary. Social science (6 lectures) by Prof. A. W. Small of the University of Chi cago, is one of the courses that Chau tauqua readers here are thinking of obtaining. The cost is nominal. Rev. Mrs. Bross expects her two sisters from Grand Island to stop over Sunday, and on Tuesday following she and Rev. Bross will accompany them to Omaha for a short visit with friends. Friends of William Allen, engineer on the Albion branch, will be glad to learn that his injuries by a "squeeze" I ftKirtrrli lnfarnnl nnrl iannnrrli if lax- Tiim fcUWltU U1..UU., UWV. .UVUM W M-.

Wonderful stories are passing of the new forage plant sacaline, which is said to produce as much as 100 tons to the acre, and relished by cattle, horses and sheep. It belongs to the buckwheat family. An old-time Columbus boy now of the great northwestern country writes to a former boy acquaintance here express- i ing his desire to send a car load of wheat, and asking him to take charge of its distribution. Arrangements are being made to hold a meeting of the Dodge County Farmers' Institnte in Fremont early in February. A number of leading farmers and others have been requested to pre pare and read papers. Herald. Mr. Weir has resigned his position as secretary of the 'Y," to take effect the first of the year. The association has been and is in very many ways, helping the youth to help themselves, and their work is beginning to tell. Editor Parks has been down south and says it is a good land for the Ne braskan to stay away from. This is his deliberate opinion not only as the result of his recent trip but from 'a long resi dence in the sunny land in the long ago."

Preaching in the evening as usual by Rev. Bross. Rev. Olcott will lead the prayer meeting Thursday evening in the absence of Mr. Bross at Omaha. Starting with Oct. loth, 1S94, The Columbus Journal subscription rates are $1.50 a year, if paid in advance, otherwise 62.00 a year. Settlements up to that date must be made on the basis of the former rate. All premiums now advertised hold good. Judge Marshall of the district court was hearing some equity cases Monday forenoon. It was thought that the Thurston property deed question would come up in the afternoon. As we go to press early Aionuay atiernoon, we can not of course give the result. Frank Prince is to be manager of Madison's new opera house, and he will doubtless make a good one. He cer tainly has a well-developed love of amusement, and will know a good com pany by instinct. Our northern neigh bor is to be congratulated on house and manager. Two strangers taken before Justice Hudson Thursday for stealing goods at Barber's and sentenced to ten days in the county jail, five of them on diet limited to bread and water. One of them insisted of the judge enlightening him as to the constitutionality of the limited fare. A Seward county man, from appa rent appearances, stands a mighty good show of receiving one of the largest and jnciest plums that is soon to be given out by Governor-elect Holeomb. It is that of chief oil inspector and the, m all probability, successful candidate is the Hon. Simon Johnston of Milford. -fBIade. A Grand Island jury in the case of Edward C. Hockenberger, returned a ver dict of acquittal. The suit was brought by the county board of Hall county, based upon a report by Expert A. E. Fowle, in which it was charged that ev County Treasurer Hockenberger was short during his two terms something like S0,400. John Wurdemann jr., will answer to the same charge that he was tried on Thursday at the district court, Judge Hudson considering that way correct. Bond 61,000. It would be better, it seems to us, if in all such cases the parties in interest could settle between them, without bringing them into the public gaze. A tin plate and glass factory are to be erected at Des Moines, la., at a cost of 6500,000. The price of steam coal uO cents a ton, is given as the reason for locating. With such power as Colum bus could furnish, with a power canal from the Loup, we could have here all of such factories that we could accommo date, and why not? During the past week Mrs. M. K. Turner, at her dwelling-house in the city has been nursing four of her children sick with scarlet fever, and differently affected. Rena came first, then Gladys, Martha and Frances. At this writing they are all as well as could be expected, and with no relapse, are expected to be all right in due time. One of the city papers contained an item last week that might possibly be misconstrued by some people. It was concerning the electric light repair at the Methodist church. The connection was made outside without the knowledge of Rev. Bross, and, it seems, during preach ing. The jets have been inside the church for a long time. Sunday about noon, while Walter, 4 2-year-old son of Otto Heuer, was cut ting a string on his shoe, he fell forward and both points of a pair of scissors en tered his right eye, one of them on the side, the other in the middle, it is feared penetrating the brain somewhat. The child may live, but it is said that the injured eye is destroyed. Moses Kennedy, formerly of Cadiz, Ohio, was in the city Thursday, stopping between trains, on his way to San Fran cisco. He was in good health and spirits, and had evidently set his heart upon seeing the far-famed land of sunshine, flowers, gold and Chinamen. An honest lad, he is determined to make his way in the world, and he will do it. Mr. Plath has completed the irriga tion plant on the farm of McAllister & Cornelius south o the Loup. A 13-foot wheel is the moving power, under the manipulation of Nebraska zephyrs. The stroke is S inches (to be lengthened to 12), the well 15 feet deep, with 6 feet of coarse gravel, and the combination will doubtless be a grand success. First it was an advertising agency, then it was Editor Rosewater of the Omaha Bee, and now it is Dr. Little, superintendent of the asylum for the insane at Norfolk, all of whom have been, are now or may soon be after our esteemed contemporary, the Telegram, for uttering words alleged to be out of the strict line of truth. Certainly Brother Parks is having more than his 1 share of free adyertuing these days. Columbus Camp No. 299, Modern Woodmen of America, held their an nual election of officers Saturday even ing at the Maennerchor hall. The fol lowing were elected for the ensuing year: Venerable Consul, Louis Held; Worthy Advisor, C. A. Brindley; Ex cellent Banker, G. W. Phillips; Clerk. E. Pohl; Watchman, Hugo Schaad; Escort, Henry Hockenberger; Physician, Dr. T. R. Clark; Sentry, Louis Meyer. Platte county's peculiar politics has been costing Platte county tax-payers too much money, and if the board of sup ervisors will look to it; investigate it as they would their own private business; give all officials to understand that they are the servants of the people and not their masters; that the same business principles mnst be applied to country affairs as are or ought to be to personal ones, there would be a lower rate of tax ation. C. H. Walker bought a carload of thoroughbred Herefords at Bellwood last week of Hon. R. H. Henry, president of the state board of agriculture, for Messrs. Walker & deClercq, to be placed on their ranch near Sundance, Wyo. We understand these gentlemen intend making the breeding of thoroughbred Herefords a specialty. Mr. Henry's rep utation as a breeder of this class of cattle warrants us in congratulating them on their purchase. Surprise Her ald. There are boys all the years up from nine to nineteen who have, after night fall the range of streets and alleys in the city, and they go in squads. When the police are not near they engage in a number of petty meannesses and are fast going the downward road. Au ounce of prevention is better, cheaper, wiser than ten pounds of attempted cure. Take the boys, wasu them, dress them, keep them at school in the day time and in decent company at night, and most of them can be saved from be coming criminals. On Tuesday the eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Mefferd had his right arm broken between the elbow and wrist, both bones being fractured. He was at school and during intemission the boys were playing and swinging each other around. Ray was swung around, then let down, and being dizzy, fell to the ground with results stated above . . . A buffalo skeleton was unearthed from the bank of Maple creek last week on the farm of Alex. Legge. It was supposed that the buffalo had mired while attempt ing to cross the creek. Schuyler Quill. Platte county was ably represented at the Irrigation convention at Kearney by G. W. Phillips, R. S. Dickinson, John Kersenbrock, J. W. Lynch and Albert Stenger. The main body of the delegates were from the western part of the state, and they were very enthusiastic over irrigation, but seem to lose sight of the importance of water power along with irrigation. The "right" law of California, with some modifications, is thought to be best suited to the condition of Nebraska. The next place of meeting is Sidney, the dav in December next to be named later. Last Saturday a young lady driving along Thirteenth street had qnite a little scare all to herself. As she went to turn the corner at the Thurston her horse stumbled, and for a little while tried his best to stand on his head. The sudden jerk forward threw the young lady on to the dash-board, where she did a very neat bit of mid-air balancing. The horse finally got on his feet, the young lady regained her seat, and away they went up the street, minus a tin bucket that had fallen out during what she after wards said came near being a Mid-Winter circus. Rev. Sisson is creating quite a stir at Norfolk with his earnest pleas for chris tian work. The line of his thought is that God has done, is doing everything possible for the world. Salvation is for all men, envelopes the whole earth, and can reach the lowest. He works through human instrumentalities in the salvation of the world. A teacher, he says, draws something out of the pupil, not merely crams something down him. Awakens thonght and teaches the pupil to think. The spirit will inspire the heart of the teacher to point out the thoughts of God as recorded not only in the word, but in everv work of his hand. Horace Harding is sojourning in the far-away south, the land of the croco dile, the bayou and the tarantula. Like his great namesake, the noted Roman poet, he is quite an entertaining writer, and we expect to have some letters from him that will be interesting to his old friends here. We were not given the privilege of quoting from a letter re- 1 ceived (neither were we enjoined ), and we cannot well refrain. In describing a band he says: "They are composed of saw-mill hands from Minneapolis and all the hobo musicians in the conntry, but they play good music when they are sober enongh to read it." Rudolph Wurdeman met with an accident Saturday night that might have terminated seriously. He started home with his team and buggy in the storm a little after dark and as he turned the corner south of town and started to go west his team slipped off the grade, ran against a post and turned him out. He was stunned by the fall and lay there some half or three-quarters of an hour when Chas. Lund found him and brought him to town. He was taken to the North Western hotel, where he was treat ed by Dr. McKinley. It was found that he was only stunned and chilled and had not been seriously hurt. He was able to go home Sunday morning, his team hav ing been brought to town. Leigh World. The Quill believes that the proposed irrigation ditch should be built by all means and hopes our land owners along this valley will favor it. With irrigation not only would all crops be assured as well as incre.ised, bnt we could then raise potatoes and sugar beets in fine style, as both need plenty of moisture. A sugar factory for Schuyler would be an assured fact with that ditch in to guar antee the raising of the beets in large quantities and when a crop failure is out of the question. Irrigation means also smaller farms and that is what we must come to. Renters then could raise as much off forty acres as they do now off eighty and their rental prices would be just half as much in total. What the Quill says in the above concerning Schny ler applies with equal force to that part of the ditch in Platte county. Work was 1 begun, on the ditch Wedawday last. 18941 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?

The funeral will be from the Catholic church Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 25, at 4 o'clock. The sorrowing parents have the heart felt sympathy of all in their affliction. The Humphrey Democrat says: E. A.

Jones went to Columbus last week and bought sixty tons of hay and a car load of corn The editor thinks that locality should figure in county and official printing, and says that so far as charges for legal notices which widows and orphans have to pay we are all willing to do our share as well as Mr. Turner.

Gerrard, Will Potter and Ern Hoare were in Lincoln this week as wit nesses in the Thompson-Gerrard land case . Bert Priest met with a very( painful accident last week. He was rid ing in a lumber wagon, and one of the horses was a colt. Something started the colt to kicking and she struck the front end gate, a piece of which hit Bert in the face, making a bad gash in his upper lip and lacerating the gum. This accident will make it impossible for Cody'' to do any "blowing" for awhile and he will be missed by the band boys till he gets in shape again. Monroe Republican. There are several counties in western Nebraska that have issued appeals for help and the appeal has both heart aud merit in it. Bnt the condition has made it possible for an army of long-haired and glib-tongued frauds to travel through the east and prey npon the credulity of the charitably inclined people. The Sun has noticed articles in quite a number of eastern papers speaking of meetings for the relief of Nebraska drouth sufferers. As a matter of fact one-half these charity emissaries who are working the east are frauds, who will convert every dollar donated to them to their own nse and hPTipfit. Manv of them never saw e benent. .uany oi uiem . -- braska and their tales of woe are purely a production of a fertile brain. If the j people in the east desire to aid those who are in distress on the frontier, there are many channels through which they can reach those in need. Let them send money or clothing or food to the local re lief committee at any county seat in the state and it will reach persons who are in need. Kearney Sun. Those having eyes to see could look any direction Saturday and see Santa Claus. He can do a good deal of busi ness in a short time (he has become so used to it), but Saturday he evidently had an extra "rustle" on himself, be cause he made things fly at a' pace we, at least, never before saw. Ordinary beings seem to be greatly affected by 'the times," "the weather, "the crops, the "labor question" and such, but good Kris Kringle seems the same jolly old soul that he always has been. Some little children may possibly have to wait a few davs for his visit, but we are sure he comes to all in his own way, not al- wavs our own way. The JocbsalI wishes all who read its columns, and all ! the little men and women, as well as the i old boys and girls in the world a Merry Christmas in the good and true sense, a Happy New Year, and progress in all ; the path3 of right living, sound thinking j and pure motives. Surely the same1 Kind Providence which has certainly gnided us thus far as a nation, and per- meated our whole life with the spirit of , civil and religious liberty; enlighten-! ment of mind for all degrees of intel lectual growth, and thoughtful care of the weak and unfortunate, is still our 1 Strength and our Habitation.
