Colvin, formerly of the Colnm btis Telegram who several weeks ago purchased the"Randolph (Iowa) Register, has sold the same to A. W. Jackson of Ord, this state, and will give possession March 1. Mr. Way lost a considerable quan tity of corn by theft one night last week a car broken up and what corn there was in it, supposed to be about twenty bushels, taken out. Coal in various quantities was taken the same way. We see, by the Riverside (Calif.) Daily Press, that J. H. Reed, formerly of this vicinity, ranks as one of their best posted men in horticulture, theoretically and practically, and he is taking a very lively interest in their institutes and fairs. Matthew Burke has quite a genius, for inventing, and now we understand he has a flying machine, which, he claims, is practical, and with which a man will be enabled to go from Colum bus to Chicago in an hour.

A good rain started in at 4 o'clock yesterday morning; at this writing the water lies in pools, no dust in sight and we have the promise of an abundant rain. "Everybody glad to see it and there will be no complaint against mud, at least for a season. Let it rain. On Sunday there was a hunt for wolves east of Barnum's, but as there were no wolves, it could hardly be called a wolf hunt. We are informed that there were some rabbits in the round-up, and that the dogs used had to be washed free of mud to make them presentable after the chase. AQeorge Baumgart has on hands 250 prs of ladies shoes of all sizes Xos. 24 to 8, a fine assortment, and a large num ber of Oxford-tie slippers, which are now for sale at less than cost, to closo out the stock. Call soon at his place of busiuess, three doors west of Galley's store on Eleventh street. 4t A traveling salesman was arraigned before Justice Hudson Monday, charged with a criminal assault upon a little girl of six years, we give the name of neither, because the salesman has al ways borne an exceptionally good char acter, and the justice, after hearing the testimony, discharged the accused. Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Henry celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage at their home in this city. About forty couple were present. Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Barker of Silver Creek, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes of Grand Island, Miss Susie Gustan of Kearney and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. North of Omaha were among the guests. Henry Lubker was up town Monday transacting business. His household have had quite a siege with the scarlet fever, Fred and Esther, aged respective ly 3 and 6 years being the first; then Sylva Thrush, afterwards Rose Thrush and her mother Mr. Lubker and his daughter Grace being the only well ones for a portion of the time. The suggestion has finally reached Omaha and it is understood that the grand jury is about to investigate the charges against the police of compelling certain offenders against law and good government to pay them a monthly tribute to secure protection. Police should not only be supposed to bo, but actually be above suspicion. F. H. Rnsche, the harness maker on Eleventh street, opposite Lindel hotel, will sell you harness made by experienced workmen from the best oak-tanned leather for the same money that you can buy factory-made harness at. It will pay you to come from far and near to see them for yourselves. I have a large stock of all styles of harness on hand. John Tannahill has employed a capable man to work with him the com ing season, and he expects to put into vegetables, small fruit, etc forty-one acres of land, having leased eight acres, besides what he owns. With his irrigat ing plant, he will doubtless be able to furnish the Columbus market with ex cellent vegetables and an abundance of them. Rev. Dr. Elliott has returned home after a nine-day stay at Randolph, Iowa, where he went to assist in revival ser vices. By the Register we notice that the congregation appreciated Rev. El liott's work among them, and placed a purse of $24 with him. S. C. Dodds, father of ourjjette county citizen R. C, presented tfceDr. with a valuable thor oughbred Asgu cow. Horace Harding writes from Texas to one of his old friends here: "Sixteen inches of snow. Numberless balM of woe. 'God bless our home,' and protect those who sees to bask in the sunlight of the balmy south this year." W. A. Thompson, who formerly pub lished a populist paper at Genoa, is now at Willow Springs, Missouri. He start ed a democratic paper there, made charges touching the honor and integrity of several county officials, -got into a libel suit, was fined $5, which with costs, amounted to about $100. At last account he was publishing a 'republican paper, and, it is presumed, will henceforth be O.K. X , . Comrade J. R. Brock tells of a skel eton found last week in one of the sand drifts south of the ice-house in Stur geon's pasture. It was of a full grown person; there was a bullet hole back of the right oar. The teeth were even and small. There were some bits of "heavy cloth near the skeleton. They had evi dently lain mostly under the sand, for a leug time, the foot being the first part exposed. , Albert Stenger was driving a young horse Monday morning that was a little too frisky to go straight forward, and it was owing to this Tact that a wheel or Herman Oehlrich's buggy was deprived of its spokes, and Herman let down and out. Nobody hurt and in ten minutes the buggy was at the wagon shop for ropnirsand Herjnan had hooked onto another vehicle. The accident happened at Gass' square. W. Wr. Whitaker was sprinkling sev eral days last week. If all the streets could be kept tolerably moist, very little grading, comparatively, would be need ed, because when it blows the moist ground would be ready to receive the dust, no matter from what direction, and then the sprinkling following close upon the wind would hold it down, and we would have accessions, no matter how the wind came. A sheep feeder of experience in Ne braska writes that he is fully satisfied that alfalfa is the plant for all kinds of stock. This seems to be the general concensus of opinion throughout the state among feeders, and it no longer savors of jumping at conclusions. It has been weighed in the balance, and feeders now know whereof they speak. We would advise sowing alfalfa in proper locations at the very first opportunity. Nebraska Farmer. -On the cars the other day Rev. Elliott traveled with a party going from California to South Africa, to go into the mining business at Johannasburg, 1,500 miles north of Capetown. One plant there in operation cost several million dollars. The reefs are 70 miles long and have a continuous line of crush mills. Recently 90,000 people have gone to this country and 70,000 of them speak English. The mines are under tho jur isdiction of English syndicates. Tuesday of last week at CarlRohde's sale there were some four or five hun dred people in attendance, and nearly everything brought good prices, except two good breaking plows which sold for $1, and a cultivator for $5.50. Of mules, one team brought $190, another $200, a team of mares $215, a colt $55, a big horse $35, cows S21.50to $35, binder $65. A free lunch was served, and we under stand the sale amounted to about $2300, with about the half of it cash down. Will. Ray, son of Hugh Ray of Olive township, who lives near Valparaiso, was sandbagged and robbed one night last week. Ho had sold some grain during the afternoon, nnd had about $50 on his person. He went out in the evening to do his chores, and while feeding the hogs, someone tapped him on the head, got his purse and got away. Fortunately he was not badly injured, nnd a $20 gold, piece had slipped out of the purse into his pocket, so ho only lost about $30. David City Banner. About 12 o'clock Thursday night of last week, some one fired a shot through one of the window lights in Derby fc Neely's store. Tho ball cut a hole through the glass about the size of a half dollar and lodged in the shelving on the east side of the door. The clerk, Fred Burch, who sleeps in the store, heard the shot and on grabbing his shooter, which lay close by, prepared for action; but the enemy retreated into some corner and Fred is still monarch of all he surveys. So eays the Bellwood Gazette. William Beeklam of Okay was re ceiving a pension of $8 a month, which was stopped on him twice under the Cleveland way of doing things, under the plea that additional evidence was necessary, which he furnished. Now he has had a third notice, but only that the pension has been cut off. Another vest ed right gone. All the people should combine against every official who acts meanly or assumes to change the laws to suit his own evil purpose. Let the right be done to every old soldier. Right wrongs no man. H. A. Saunders of Woodville town ship has returned from Missouri, where he was accompanied by his son, D. W. He has purchased near Willow Springs, Howell county, a farm of eighty acres, with a five-room house, 16 acres under cultivation, 60 acres fenced, 250 apple, cherry, peach and pear trees, beside grape vine, etc., for $600, an amount less by $400 than the owner was offered for it less than a year ago a measure of the hard times. Having sold out here, Mr. Saunders expects to start with his wife, daughter and two sons for Willow Springs in about ten days. Representative Becher was in the city over Sunday, returning to Lincoln Monday. He says the only insurance lobby at Lincoln is men in the interest of proposed mutual insurance companies who are intent on filling the offices of the prospective companies at good, round salaries. It has always struck us very forcibly that the old-line companies were organized and conducted, in good part, to secure large salaries to presi dents, etc. Insurance is a great thing, there is not a particle of doubt about that, but independence and fair dealing are much better than even insurance, and we would like to see fair rates in this state, and then the money so raised kept and invested in Nebraska. We muBn't be afraid of helping ourselves to our own, and insisting on it and persist ing in it, notwithstanding threats of dire disaster, and injury to our business J interests. Facts ia the Caw. We have cajled upon Chairman Galley of the committee on waterworks in re gard to the statement of Mayor Phillips made to the Argus and printed in its last issue, as follows: "On April 30, 1894, the water fund of the city was in arrears to the extent of $2,451.00; and that this indebtedness has been reduced to $1,660.00, during the past nine months of a year when the expenses of the works were necessarily large, owing to needed repairs and an unprecedented dry season, is proof con clusive that with the present perfect condition of the works, the arrearage will soon be met" This would be a reduction of the in debtedness at the rate of $88 per month during the nine months referred to. The facts of the case as shown by the reports of retiring treasurer Niewohner Mayl, 1894, on the waterworks fund overdrawn and transferred to J. F. Berney, was $540.81. For the same time Water Commissioner Schroeder'a report shows an overdraft of $1559.97. This, of course, is the actual amount of the overdraft of the waterworks fund for May 1, 1894, and not, as stated in the Argus, $2,451. The treasurer's report for the month of January, 1895, shows that the city indebtedness to J. F. Berney, for cash advanced for coal for waterworks to Feb. 1, 1895, was $1,661.45. In place of this being a reduction for the nine months it is an increase of indebtedness amount ing to the difference between this sum Ued $1,659.97, that is $101.48, or $11.16 a monthuerea.se of indebtedness, instead of $88 a month decrease, as stated in the Argus. The "Hookies" Dance. The Pioneer Hook and Ladder Co. gave their twenty-first annual masquer ade ball at the opera house Friday even ing and were honored by a crowded house. The building was beautifully decorated with flags and bunting, en circling the galleries, interspersed with appropriate pictures among the draper ieSi On either side of the stage, under neath the pictures of Washington. Lin coln and Grant, a large wheel about seven feet in diameter, made of ever green, were neat pieces of decoration. During the afternoon the cornet band headed a crowd of maskers and members of the company in uniform, who made quite a procession on the streets. The Columbus orchestra, consisting of tho following members, E. Pohl, Prof. Loeb, Adolph Sauer, S. E. Marty, Frank Stovicek, E. C. Hockenberger and A. Boettcher, furnished extra fine music for the occasion, while Charles White did the prompting. More than a hundred persons were masked, the costumes were all very good, quite a number having been rented of the costnmer from Omaha. At about 11:30 o'clock the dancers removed their masks and after a short intermission dancing was resumed and continued until about 2 o'clock. Notwithstanding the fact that the ex penses were heavy, aggregating nearly $100, the fire laddies have a balance of $55, and are well pleased with their success. Overseers Meet. The overseers of the poor (which are the same persons as are supervisors for their saveral townships), met informally Monday to consider propositions in regard to aiding the needy of the-oounty. Some six townships had made no es timate whatever, and the total amount as reported by the others, as needed for seed and feed was $25,000, which it was thought might be cut one-half. It was proposed to take from the poor farm fund $3,000, of old funds some $500, and of the 1)4 levy some $5,000, altogether about $10,000, but that was voted down, 10 to 8; in connection with this was the proposition to appoint a relief committee with full power to collect and distribute etc., on compensation for their work. ' The current funds of the county are in banks, on a per cent., and there would be a question of the legality of their giving it up for this purpose, some thought. Then if the proposition had carried there would be left no money in the county treasury for current expenses. Those townships who had sent in no estimates were purely agricultural town ships, and this fact seemed strange to some of the overseers. The general feel ing of these townships was that they were abundantly able, entirely willing and firmly fixed in their determination to care for their own. Of course tho expense of this meeting must be borne by the overseers them selves individually, but doubtless the local boards will bear the just and reas onable expenses of these fellow-citizens of theirs in looking after their affairs. Episcopal Church. On Aeh Wednesday, Feb. 27th, "A Quiet Day" will be held. The services will be at 8:30, 11, 430 and 8. Every one will bo made welcome. On Sunday evening, March 3rd, the services will be choral and special music will bo rendered; this new feature has proved very popular. The Rector will deliver the first of his Sunday evening lenten sermons, theme: "Popular Mis conceptions as to the Episcopal church." "That it does not teach Conversion." Tho other topics are, March 10, That it allows only Prayer Book Devotions to be used by its members, and only written sermons. March 17, That it countenan ces objectionable amusements. March 24, That it teaches Salvation through forms only. March 31, That it is oppos ed to Revivals. April 7, That it is a mild form of Romanism. During Lenten week-days there will be a service with address every Wednes day afternoon at 4:30, and on Friday evening at 8, when the Lord's prayer will be explained. To this latter service men are especially invited. C. L. s. c. Will meet with Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Herrick, March 2, at 7:30 p. m. Roll call Quotations from Longfellow.

Saley Thursday night last, after a few days' illness of inflammation of the bowels, K M. Saley, aged 59 years. He was born at Sherburn, Chenango county, N. Y., February 15, 1836; mar ried September 11, 1866, moved to Co lumbus in 1873. He has resided in the city ever, since. He was deputy post master under hia. .brother-in-law, Mr. Compton, afterwards postmaster for several years, since which time he has been in business on Thirteenth street. The funeral took place Saturday, Rev. Elliott officiating. He leaves a widow and son. Bobowuk Thursday night last at 12, of erysipelas, after nine days' illness, Jacob Borowiak, aged 41 years. Funeral services Saturday at 10 o'clock from the Catholic church. Deceased leaves a widow and five children to mourn their loss. Moral Saaity. As a portion of the current discussion of the city, we give a synopsis of the ser mon last Sunday evening at the Presby terian church by the pastor, the text being from 2d Timothy, 1:7, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." That moral good and moral evil, moral righteousness and moral unrighteous ness exist in every community and fre quently not only side by side but even mingling and commingling, is apparent to all. Business vocations, society claims, and a common humanity are the binding cords which draw them together, while tho moral status for the time being, for policy and politeness, remains in the background. A person that is morally sane may be morally unsound in belief and practice in part or in whole the moral code, which often is more deplorable than if he were morally insane. But what is the basis of morality? What is the standard? How can we know that a person is a moral man? Communities differ, and opinions of such a life are so varied, that there must be a set standard. We answer: The stand ard of christian nations is the moral law contained in the ten commandments, which God gave to Moses. They are the measure of a perfect moral character and of all good govern ment and current citizenship. The speaker then proceeded to show that men who claim to be moral yet will fully and persistently set at naught even one of these moral laws is out of har mony with morals and good citizenship and God. That these principles are woven into our statute laws and consti tute the true basis of our relationship with God and one another, and that men who come and ask for positions of legal trust and are thus morally unsound are also civilly and legally unsound. 'He said that moral saneness begins with the child at years of accountability, varying from five to fifteen years of age, when the child first awakens to a sense of guilt in violating any of the moral code of laws, and that it died away when men willfully and deliberately violated these laws and hardened their con sciences. He said a man was morally insane when he felt guilt for doingthat which was a matter of mere indifference, as for instance: When guilt was fell for not putting the left foot first when leaving the door of his house, or for walking the south side of a street instead of the north, or a weight of sin for killing a mouse that was caught in his house as was the condition of a certain college professor, or a sense of sin for .stepping on the grass lest thereby he might kill some insect or worm. Superstition is akin to this. As, some people do not like to start on a journey on Friday, because considered an un lucky day, while they have no conscien tious moral sense of guilt in transgress ing the fourth commandment in going on Sabbath morally unsound and de moralizing in their example. He spoko of tho morally ignorant, morally deceived and perverted, morally hardened, morally self-righteous, and urged all good citizens when they exer cised themselves in the rights of citizen ship to do so in principle, and to stand up for those who were ready to raise the standard of citizenship on a moral basis and to throw around all not merely the mantle of charity or love, but to set a practical example. HEMP SEED TO LOM ! I want to contract with farmers within hauling distanco of Columbus to grow about a thousand acres of hemp. Will furnish seed and take payout of crop grown. Have two kinds of seed; small est variety will produce ten to fifteen bushels of seed and 14 to ltons straw per acre; other more straw and less seed. Hemp stands drouth better than any crop except alfalfa. Improves land almost as much as clover and can be grown twenty years in succession on same land. On good land plowed deep it made fair crop in 1894. For further information apply at my office at mill after 2 p. m. M. Jerome. Columbus, Jan. 24, 1895. 30-jan-3m J. A. BARBER & CO.

A fable: A bucket said to its compan ion, as they were going to the well, "How dismal you look." "Ah!" replied the other, "I was reflecting on the useless nees of our being filled; for let us go away ever so full, we always come back empty." "Dear me! how strange to look at it in that way," said the bucket; "now I enjoy the thought that, however empty we come, we always go away full. Only look at in that light, and you will be as cheerful as I am." Senator. Leander Gerrard is at home from Lincoln for a few days. From what we learned while at Lincoln he is considered as among the very ablest men in the senate, always on hands, guarding and furthering every interest of his constituents. Among the eight bills introduced by him is one to donate 50,000 acres of state lands to be sold to pay interest on Platte bridge bonds; it has passed both branches of tho legisla ture, but the governor is said to be opposed to it Representative Hudson has just re turned from Lincoln for a visit home during the adjournment of the legisla ture.
