Louis Phillips has moved his gun and sporting goods from the building next door to Echols' over into the south part of the building occupied by E. J. Niewohner. There is an immense quantity of binding twine being sold and from all accounts of the small grain crop, the twine factories will be able to sell all their product. Tuesday evening of last week a number of friends of Rev. and Mrs. Brown met at their residence and en joyed the evening in literary and mu sical exercises. Frank Sus, a boy about a year and a half old, was tossed by a cow Sunday against a barbed-wire fence cutting his scalp Bomewhat, but not inflicting a dangerous wound. Schuyler and Columbus played ball here yesterday afternoon, and as The Jourxaii was put to press before the game was Gnished, of course we could not give the result. .T. D. Brewer, one of Columbus' first-class builders, has the contract for Glnck's new brick business honse being erected on Eleventh street for the use of Frischholz Bros. Tuesday of last week Sheriff Kav anaugh took Mrs. D. N. Miner to the asylum at Norfolk, and brought home Katie Regan, she being blind, but not insane, was discharged. A letter from Bureau county, 111., tells of the partial failure of the hay crop and small grain, the drying up of pastures and the strong probability of a shortage of the corn crop, Miss Freda Schonlau and Miss Kate Mack of Lincoln visited Miss Schonlau's mother last week. A party was given at the home residence Wednesday even ing, in honor of Miss Mack. The council at a special meeting held yesterday morning, granted -permission for the discharge of fireworks from 3 a. in., to midnight of the Fourth, under certain restrictions. All bicycle riders, both ladies and gentlemen, are invited to decorate their wheels and meet at the town hall Thursday morning at a quarter to ten, ready to join the procession. J. C. Fillman returned Friday noon from a three days' sojourn at his ranch near Albion. He says that everything there is like it is here all crops. A few fields touched a little by hail. George Whaley goes to Colorado Springs the 5th. By the way, he has been proffered a scholarship at Hobert college, by Bishop Worthington, good for five years and worth $2,500. J. H. Frerert took a flying trip to North Platte last Saturday and returned rMonday. He reports the western part of the state as being away behind this part in the way of crop prospects. Loran Clark, an old resident of Albion, now living at Omaha to be under medical treatment, was reported dying last week, but at last accounts was im proving slowly again, says .the News. At Red Oak, Iowa, last Thursday Charlie Morse's bay gelding Corporal, driven by Chanler, trotted-three straight heats, purse $1,000, Charlie's amount $500, the time being 2:16, 2:17, 2:171.

'Nebraska is ahead, so far, this year. . Our "Fritz" didn't say so, but a close observer, in - looking over the gar dens in and around Columbus says that Tannahill is bound to come under the wire several lengths ahead of them all. this fall.

Frank was distributing cigars Monday over the event, and the smile on bis face had broadened until it was large enough to fill a good-sized wash tub. There will be a farmers' picnic at the farm of Christ Wuethrich across the Loup on the Fourth of July. The pro gram nas not yet been published, out the indications are that the undertaking promises to be a big success. We learn that at David City Mon day, before the county judge; Will. Elston and Mrs. Sewell plead guilty to the charge of adultety, and were held to appear before the district court, which will probably be convened this week. Miss Grace, daughter of Brad. D. Slaughter, is to be married in Lincoln today to Mr. Win. C. Gamble of Lin coln. Miss Slaughter's home until re cently has been in Fullertonand she has a number of acquaintances in our city. A Columbus citizen lately had let ters from old friends in Illinois and Pennsylvania, in which the accounts of dry weather are very touching many wells having gone dry in Illinois, and the crops short on account of the scorch ing weather. Frances Hager, grandchild of Geo. Barnnm, died of brain fever on the 30th, and on Monday was buried at Bellwood. The child was aged 2 years nud 8 months. The afflicted relatives have the sympathy of all their friends in their affliction.

If the date is past, you are respectfully re quested to renew your subscription. See rates elsewhere. AConsumers of binding twine should Vk out for damaged twine, which has bn carried .ver BiBce the failure ot the .National uordage.fjo. Mew twine can be -had at Henry Lubker'e, which is fully guaranteed and comes only in 60 ponnd bales. 2t Starting with Oct. 15th, 1894, The Columbus Journal subscription rates are $1.50 a year, if paid in advance, otherwise $2.00 a year. Settlements up to that date must be made on the basis of the former rate. All premiums now advertised hold good. There is considerable objection in certain quarters to the action taken by Mr. Elston in the Stauffer case, but, as a citizen and tax-payer, he doubtless has legal rights in the matter, however much others may differ with him in regard to what ought to be done. Policeman Hewitt arrested a man here Wednesday, who came in on a freight train and acted very suspiciously, trying hard to escape. He answers very closely the description of a man wanted at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, for the murder of W. B. Smith. H. J. Alexander has a large piece of sod corn that is as fine as silk. The ground was broken early this spring, then pulverized with a disc .harrow and put in with a lister. The corn now about covers the ground and, barring hail, should make a big yield. Mel. Jenny was in the city Friday. Crops in his neighborhood are looking good. They have made their first clip of alfalfa during the past week. Their twelve acres sown last year didn't do well too dry. This, season is all right, however, and alfalfa promises to be a. very good thing to have on the farm. At the Epworth League Sunday evening at the M. E. church there was rendered a good program, being an echo of the national meeting at Chattanooga, Tenn., several essays read by members of the league being good. The personal, experience of Comrade R. L. Rossiter was unusually well written and an in teresting article. Miss Mary Morse entertained a number of friends ; Saturday evening.1 The following named young people were present: Misses Gene Wilson, Lucy Martin, Clara Hohl, Mamie Glnck, Berta Post, Mattie Post, 'Madge Cashing, Anna Rasmussen, and Alfred Elliott, Earl McCoy, Carl Johnson, Walter Gal-1 ley, and Rex Henry of Fremont. Frank Mott, one of the talented In dians at the -Genoa government school, was in" the city Monday. He has been an employee at the institution for quite a while, having received, under Mr. Backus' superintendency and up to now, $25 a month. A chatage to $10 a month has been recomaaeaded, dating with! July . 1, and aljLfha 'Indian 'employees have .quit, but one. - The general .opinion is that the promised heavy crops of oats and corn will' restore .confidence and prosperity; nevertheless there is some room for doubt, when elevator folks talk about 12 to 15c for oats at the beginning, and a constant dropping, from that price until it will be fit for storing, in greater quantities, which will not be the case until towards winter. irtKase A letter from W. T. Allen; who (ac companied by his daughter, Mrs. Kmsa mer) is at Pleasant Hill, Mo, informs friends here that his sister, who has been sick, is failing very rapidly and cannot' long survive. He says the crops there are fine; corn growing lustily, aad .fruit of all kinds in abundance. Plenty of rain also. -fAt a practice game of ball 'at the park the. other evening Captain .Backus wasafter'the ball which was a grounder and went into a prairie dog hole.

Judge Marshall held a session of the district court on Wednesday and re versed the judgment of the board of insanity in the Lay case, holding that they had no right to make the finding which they did, that Lay was morally insane, etc., but that if a Bubject is ad judged insane, he must be sent to the asylum for treatment. The case was re manded for new trial. Creighton college (Omaha) com mencement last Wednesday was a sort of Fourth of July celebration, all the themes being patriotic, each speaker re ferring to different phases of the na tional life. In the awarding of prizes, consisting of gold medals, we notice that the Cndahy medal for the best poet was captured by John H. Lamb, a former Columbus lad. Grae Episcopal church, Sunday, July 7, morning service 11, topic of ser mon, "The Redemption of the Body." Celebration of the holy communion, (communicants reminded), 8 p. m. pa triotic service; evening prayer chorally rendered; solo, duet, trio, etc., by Mes dames Evans and Chambers and Mr. Schroeder; sermon "The American Church and 1776." All cordially invited. Several years ago in a town in Penn sylvania a few young men offered a prize to the one in the crowd who should before two hours had passed, report the worst grammatical error he had heard during tho time. Jack Martin, now of Clarks, was the winner. He was in a store and a woman came in for a pair of shoes she had had repaired. She pointed to a pair that she supposed be longed to her and jsaid "Is them it?" The prize was immediately given to Martin. Misses Gertrude and Florence Whit moyer gave a party Saturday evening from 5 to 9 o'clock in honor of Misses Mabel and Blanche Patrick of Blair. Croquet and other games were the amusements enjoyed and dainty refresh ments were served. Those present were: Misses Anna Taylor, Lucy Martyn, Ma mie Gluck, AnnaGietzen, Stella Elliott, Florence Elliott, Tena Zinnecker, Mabel Patrick, Clara Hohl, Anna Rasmussen, Madge Cushing, Alberta Post, Helen Gerome, Mattie Post, Ruby Rickly, Blanche Patriek, Jessie Williams, Gene Wilson and Lela Stillman. At the fair grounds last Wednesday there was some sport, in the shape of horse and bicycle races. The first was a race between George Brodfuehrer, Gussie Becher and Sammy Friedhof, George taking first money; the run was one-half mile on their wheels. The horse race between V. A. Macken's" bay horse and a roan horse owned by James Miller of Independence, Iowa. The foreign horse was too fast and took the money. The last was a race between two horses belonging to Miller, a close dash of a quarter mile but was not fast. There was quite a crowd out. A wrestling match took place Sat urday night at the Maennerchor hali, between Scott Sealls of Grand Island and James Miller of Independence, la., for a purse of $50 and the gate receipts, which were $39. By those present it is said to have been a good contest. Sealls threw Miller first, and then Mil ler throw Sealls ia quick succession three times. He then turned a somer sault backwards, and to Sealls' question "Who are you, any way?" .He ans wered that he was the champion 200 pound man of the world and that this was the best gueen wrestler he had ever had a hold of. Columbus has a new, volunteer fire department, composed of the very young men. The alarm station is located on Knmmer street, which is the reason why we know of the company. On a good, dry day, when mown grass is abundant along the street, the department may be called out many times a day. They have a fire bell; a beer keg on wheels is used as a water reservoir and a hand squirt does duty as a fire engine, and the lads turn out very promptly and do business very efficiently. The Journal would suggest that the 'junior depart ment get themselves in shape and go into the parade on the Fourth. One of our subscribers, who is him- df a college-bred man, says that the article copied into last week's Joukhai.' from the Norfolk News, ia regard to the average annual expense of students at Yale being $900, is calculated' to dis hearten young men from trying to obtain a college education. He aavs that 'the way is clear to young men of strength and ambition, -to work their way through, at Ann Arbor, Michigan, for instance, the tuition costing about $55; board and room for the 40 weeks of the school year, $120; books $20:. inci dentals'. Several men now teaching at that university .have worked their way. at the institution, and are now men I of the best standing in their profession. Of course it is hard, work, there are com paratively few; to undertake it, and so there, is nearly always a chanse for the exceptionally 'strong and .ambitious young man. of the Meridmn, andc emkes, pies andVvery soim will keep enrs, nujoaccu, csnuiev.

' A communicationfrom the county superintendent was read' notifying the f board Chat the semi-annual apportion ment tor the district m $687.64. The minutes Were then read 'and ap proved, and on motion of Turner, members-elect Gluck and Hbckenbergerwere requested to take their seats as members I and the board 'proceeded' to elect officers for the ensuing year, whioh was done -by ballot, rerolting in president, J. H. Gal ley; vice president, George Lehman; secretary, John G. Becher, the latter being also selected as temporary.aecre tary until the filing of his bond as secretary. A communication, -in the nature of a remonstrance, signed by Ernst, McGilL Clark and others of the suburban por tion of the district, against the action of the board at a late session, discontin uing the suburban, school, was read and,' on motion of Leh'man, the same was re considered. The motion to discontinue was amen ded to read that school be held three months the coming fall and three months the following spring, whioh amendment and the motion as amended were carried by a unanimous vote. The action taken by the board at a former meeting with reference to a three years' contract with the superintendent. was, on motion of Becher, reconsidered, and, at the request of "Sup't Williams, Turner moved that the time be one year. Adjourned to 4 o'clock Tuesday. The time for conventions is drawing nigh and candidates are being can vassed. As the county grows older and makes its history, the people become more acquainted with each other and J the conditions that surround them, and n me selection or canuiuaies mey are able to act more intelligently and more unitedly. Parties will have to take these things into consideration in mak ing their nominations. Slates are al ready made and proposals for trading candidates tendered, but it will not be so easy to carry these plans nut as for merly. Slates will be smashed and trading will be repudiated. Candidates will have to stand on their merits and the party that wins this fall will have to put their beet men forward. The above, which we clip from the Central City Republican, is somewhat applicable to Platte county, as well as to Merrick. We really wish we could say that the last sentence would be true here, but it is almost too much, even to hope for, except on the theory that all other elements get together against the "bosses," and combine forces forsuccess. Under such circumstances there could scarcely be a question as to the result, and this is desirable to more classes than a few. There are quite a number of prominent, worthy democrats who are more or less outspoken against the con tinued rule of a certain few of the party, term after term, but whether they have stamina or independence enough to get to the front and make a sweep, is a question. They never have had, up to now, and there is nothing in sight that would lead an observer to think that the coming democratic county conven tion will be much otherwise than such conventions have heretofore been. The Journal continues to believe, however, that Platte county's peculiar politics has proven very costly to Platte county tax-payers, the most grinding thing being that it so partisan as to ignore public interests in the supposed interests of party workers. The voters of Platte can have a change if they will begin to work for it now, and keep on till the election, but they will not get it by allowing the "bosses" to dictate nominations, and put three tickets in the field. The habit of sitting up nights or days, as the case may be, drinking and gambling, instead of resting and sleep ing, so as to be in good condition when it comes their turn to go out on the road, has been so frequent with eastern engineers, that some of the railroad companies have shut down on employ ing any who use intoxicating liquors or who frequent gambling places or other places of low resort at any time. A rail road official says that his company paid $30,000 damages for an accident that they afterwards learned was due to the fact that the engineer had been gamb ling all night and was incapacitated for want of sleep. Vicious habits are of no good to any one. The Polk County Independent says that "Brother Mickey, who attended the commencement of the Wealeyan univer sity of Lincoln, helped them out to the tune of $1,000, and that this makes two thousand that John has blown into the concern." This seems to be a pretty flippant way to speak of so prominent an individual and so seemingly import ant an incident. Or does the Independ ent wish by its manner to call the attention, of its readers to Matthew vi-3 "But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth," and the sentiment contained in the preceding verse of scripture? A little child of Nick Dworak's near Brainard, has been in the habit of taking a bowl of milk every morning since early in the spring out by the side of the house, and sitting on the side ot a large stone and drinking it. The other day the mother noticed the child offering its milk to a huge snake, the child patting and fondling it while it drank. The mother called the father to witness, and after it got through eating and was .crawling off- the father killed the snake. It was a bull-snake fully four feet long. The boy took it very hard when his pet was killed. So ssys the Brainard Trib une. Mr. Editor: I beard the best joke .this morning .that 'I have- heard in a long time.

Spoerry has placed us under obligations for a June copy of The Children's Home Finder, a monthly journal published at Chicago in the in terests of child-saving and child-reform work, one of the greatest branches of christian work imaginable. We have taken considerable interest in the report of the society for Nebraska for the year ending May 31. The whole number of children placed and replaced during the year was 92; number of children received during the year and registered was 74; total cash expended, $2,060, bal ance on hand, $140. 175 local boards have been organized in the state since October, 1893, the membership now numbering 900. The society is certainly accomplishing noble things, and re minds of a statement by Horace Mann, when delivering, an address at -the open ing of an orphanage: "If this institution shall be the. means of saving one child, it will well, repay them for all the time and money spent in building the insti tution." When taken to task for making, so broad' a statement, his reply was, "If it was my boy it would well repay for all the time and money spent." The motto of the society would be a good one. for you "Help a child to find a home.' Weataer Beaert far Jaac far Celamfcas, Neb.

At the annual'school meeting Monday evening of last week, George Lensche was elected a member of the school board. Glorious rains, small grain filling the satisfaction ot the farmer.- Corn taking a start. A heavy crop of weeds going to seed, and just now is the time to pull them out of the orchard and garden and cause them to be cut along the head lands and roadways. We occasionally hear of the Russian thistle growing in "this, (ColumbnB) township, but have never seen any ourselves. ' We have ground our little hatchet and are pre pared to make war on them at first sight. While gathering cherries one day this week Plessie Drinnin took a fall from a tree and came near breaking an arm; luckily the limb is able to be out of the sling now. There ought to be tons of-that whole some fruit, tomatoes, put up this year, and we believe 'there are plants enough now growing in this vicinity to make that the principal fruit for canning this season. Mrs. Emma Sewell of Independence, Kansas, with her two children, is spend ing the heated term on a visit with her mother, Mrs. H. L. Drinnin. This vicinity is well represented at the Columbus Normal school. Last spring and summer we saw Mr. Tschudy, who lives ou Wm. Bucher's new farm, toiling faithfully from early morn, till late at night. The hot winds came, and we saw his crops wither and die and he, like ourselves and others, did not raise litter enough to bed bis stock. This spring we saw him com mence to plow and plant with no more encouragement than a year ago; now we see his fields teeming with heavy small grain, just turning to golden hue, abun dance of grass for hay, and a big corn crop almost assured.
