II. & Scripture of Stanton county, was in the city Friday on business. He is interested in looking after two sec tions of land in that county, about nine miles south of Stanton. It is said that Japan is going to ship into this country high-grade bicy cles, guaranteed as good as any in this country, to be laid down in San Fran cisco at a little over $12. A birthday surprise party was given to Miss Jeannie Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. W. Wilson, Monday evening. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all those attending. Rev. Rogers started Monday for Minneapolis, where he will visit ten days. Sunday morning in his absence the Christian Endeavor society will conduct services. iNo service in tne evening. Lee Beatty of Monroe township came down Thanksgiving to take in the shoot ing match, and otherwise enjoy himself. Ho was under the protecting wing of "Fatty" Curtis, and of course had a good time. The funeral of Rev. A. Honrich, de ceased, was held at Platte Center Sun day, Rev. E. A. Russell, State Baptist S. S. missionary making an address in English, Rev. Schulte and others in German. Guy Barnum purposes, laying some gravel road so as to show to the com munity what can be done here in the way of a good, solid road. With clay subsoil, he thinks a layer about a foot deep would be sufficient. Pupils of several different depart ments of the public school petitioned the board for an extension of the Thanksgiving holiday to include Friday also, but the request was denied, and the great body of them attended school as usual. Epictetus says: "In all the affairs of life let it be your great care not to hurt your mind or offend your judg ment.

The entire audience can hear as correctly as if listening .to the music rendered by one of themselves. A few weeks ago one of the funny things you "read about" happened in the infant class of a Sunday school in our city. A sober little four-year-old lad suddenly took a notion to kiss a pretty little girl in the class, and much to her discomfiture and the amusement of the whole class, he succeeded.

Morning service, 11, with ser mon, "The Church, the Witness, Keeper and Interpreter of Holy Writ" Even ing service 730, second sermon on "The Four Last Things Judgment." All cordially invited. Church people are specially urged to observe the Advent season. It seems that Thk Journal's in formant was mistaken when he said that Mrs. J. . North was fifteen years old when married. She was ten years older. The funeral services were held Thursday at 11 o'clock, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Evans, Rev. Brown of tho Episcopal church of ficiating. The eleventh annual meeting of tho Nebraska Dairymen's association will beheld in the chapel of the 'State uni versity, Dec. 17, 18, 19. An exhibit of creamery and dairy products will be held in Grant Memorial hs!i fur which premiums to the amount of $400 are of fered. A number of interesting papers are to be read. The Thurston house lost four lights of gloss in- three days last week, the work of some mischievous boy or boys, each breakage being made about 8 o'clock in the evening. Cornelius & McAllister, Mrs. Becker and Messrs. Gray also lights in the same way. There is altogether too much such work done about the city. A meeting of the directors of the Y. M. C. A. was-held Friday evening and they decided to close the rooms Satur day evening (the 30th of November.) J. D. Stires and W.R. Notestein will can vass the city the coming month and if possible raise funds to continue the work. If they fail, the property will be auctioned off and the association will become a thing of the past They do things differently in dif ferent places. If there was any objec tion here to the size of the printers' bills for publishing the delinquent tax list, we didn't happen to notice it, al though it would seem that there was a very considerable of a list this last time. Down in Lancaster county the bill of the Lincoln Journal was cut down from $2,406.10 to 1,400, a little over half. The snow storm which fell as gently as a mother's blessing on Nebraska de generated into a blizzard as it moved to the east and south. This state is no longer the home of the blizzard, and willingly surrenders that distinction to her neighbors, with the hope that they'll enjoy it Nebraska is content to be the best state in the union for health, busi ness and pleasure, and let it go at that Norfolk Journal. The six artesian wells in the Shell creek valley are still flowing and the Evans heirs, and Messrs. Jones, Joseph, Thomas, Wolf and Lewis consider them selves fortunate in having a constant stream of wholesome water flowing on their places. It is the general supposi tion that at a depth of about 1,000 feet land owners of almost any portion of this section of the state could find abundance of flowing water. The Jocbkal would suggest to the young folks of all ages, from six years to eighty, that they get together socially more than they do. Columbus has a goodly number of organizations, church, literary, benevolent, musical, etc, but there is.no end nor limit to the land of organization that can be instituted for mutual improvement Don't wait for somebody else to start Start yourself along the way you wish to travel and invite others to accompany yoa. In the case of Agnes Freiday against Louis Henfling at David City for $25, 000 damages for breach of promise, the jury failed to agree and were discharged after deliberating about sixty hoars. A sensation was created in court by the filing of affidavits of perjury against Peter Reinhamer of Rising City, one of the jurors in the panel, iniwg he had stated before the trial that his mind was made up in regard to the case, when he bad said, it is alleged, that he would try and get on the jury. Judge Wheeler has the matter under advisement hzJ.- t$ o -fUA-H & CO., COLUMBUS, NEBRASKA, The Signal of Platte Center says that James Burrows and family will leave today for Jackson, Miss., where he intends to make his future home. Mr. Burrows has been a resident of Platte county for many years and goes south for his failing health. We notice, too, that George Soheidel, and others left last week for Crowley, Louisiana, for a few weeks. There was an -awful lot of kicking done in the foot ball game Thanksgiving, in fact there was so much that the ball was crushed to pieces. The game stood 2 to nothing when the ball burst, in favor of Jim Jones team. The ball was a $5 one and belonged to Walter Schroe der. It has been suggested that if the players would let their hair grow long they would play a much batter game. Some of the business firms in town have a habit of scrubbing out their stores and sweeping the water out the front door onto the walk where it immediately freezes and leaves a dangerous surface to walk over. The ashes sprinkled over to cut the ice and leave it rough often acts .as. a mere decoy, for the surface of ice underneath is still very slippery. We saw two persons fall on such a walk Sun day evening, and.aomo.timeJliBproprie tor may be caused trouble. Dr. McAllister, Central Nebraska's far-famed physician, dentist, bee-keeper, photographer, stamp-collector and gen- ieral utility man, has sold his bulky belongings and will hunt for fairer pas tures in the alligator marshes of the Eunny south. Full many an aching tooth of mine the doctor has pulled out; he gave me oceans of quinine and cured me of the gout. He sold me honey by tho yard, and photographed my pate, and I shall take it mighty hard to see him leave the state. Doc Bixby. In the Leigh correspondence of the Schuyler Herald we find the following reference to a former resident of this city: "The school board held a meeting last Friday evening and among other business tendered the principalship of our schools to Prof. J. M. Scott, of Co lumbus, providing he was willing to accept the salary the district is able to pay. Mr. Scott is a practical school man of many years experience and for the good of the schools it is to be hoped that he will be secured for the place." The district court ordered a hearing in the Debany case last week, which resulted in his being pronounced insane and he will be taken to the insane asylum. This of course means that Nance county must continue to foot the bills for the care of this old brute. It seems that fate and the elements are conspiring against this county to bank rupt it Drouth and the consequent hard times put the county under popu list rale which has increased the burden of debt until she is today at the mercy of the money sharks, and now fate has decreed that the tax payers must sup port this brutal murderer the rest of his natural life. How long, oh Lord, how long? (Genoa Leader. We notice that the claim of the Butler county agricultural society for the annual appropriation amounting to $477.15 was rejected by a vote of four to two of the supervisors of that county. Supervisor McElvain led the opposition, claiming from what he could gather that the meeting held at the fair grounds last September, purporting to be a fair, was no fair at all, and a majority of the members of the board by their votes endorsed that view of it We believe that that is the first time in the history of the state where a board of supervisors has dared question the validity of a county fair. We are not advised as to what the fair association of Butler coun ty purpose doing about, the matter. There seems to be quite a craze among the young people of the city for having their visages portrayed in some ridiculous style. Boys have groups together; the favorite style is to have one telling fanny stories, the others doubled up with laughter. One of the girls' group gives the appearance of a pile of heads laid on top of each other sideways, about eight heads high. Another group of girls are taken as Bluebeard's wives. This was accomplished by cuttina- holes through a sheet, letting the face pro trude through the hole, draw the hair straight up and pin it to the sheet Then imagine them with partly closed eyes and open mouths and we doat thiak youesathiakofaaytaiagmoresUrtliaf. --, tstwi . ---r, PERSONAL.

Hockenberger and sister Mrs. Hamilton, accompanied by daughters, went to Humphrey Friday to visit with their brother, Dr. Metz. Two children of Smith Boyd of St. Edward were so badly scalded Wednes day that they died the same day. They were sitting near the stove, and in soma way knocked one of tho legs from tho stove, tipping the stove partly over and precipitating a boiler of scalding water upon them. The skin came from their bodies when their clothing was removed. Physicians say that the cause of their death was hot steam inhaled. Mrs. Boyd was also badly burned on one arm in coming to their rescue. So says the Sun. The tender sympathy of tho people of Nebraska will go out to James E. North in tho hour of his groat bereave ment This sympathy will not be limited to the large circle of Mr. North's per sonal friends. The deepest regret will be manifested by all peoplo who have learned of the great goodness of Mrs. North. There are a great many people in Nebraska who have been benefited by the kindly impulses of this good woman, wnose me work seemed dedicated to nn earnest yet simplo, effort to make the world better by reason of her existence. In this effort she succeeded, and when she died one of the best of women passed to a glorious reward. Omaha World Herald. Several persons were present San day afternoon at the residence of Guy C. Barnum, to whom he read from theo sophical works as to the doctrines of life held by that society. Aside from tech nical terms derived mainly from Hindoo writers, it would seem that their princi ples are much the same as those of other ancient mental philosophers, as indeed is their claim nothing new. nothing different from what has been the beet in all ages. All things have a ruler, who somehow permeates every thing; is the author of all good, the fountain of all light and life and strength and intelligence; the source from which flow all influences for good. As to evil, the same questions, tho same problems occur to the theosophist as to the ordi nary doctrinaire, but he affirms very strongly that from the standpoint of the creator and preserver of this universe, there is no evil, the so-called evil be longs to the creature and is imperfection of some degree. Indestructible mind and indestructible matter may harmon ize but they never change, the one to the other. Mind allied to body, through out ages past and ages to come; birth, growth, decay, death, (which is but an other birth and entrance upon another career of progress towards the all-perfect), is what we call life. "We are spirits; we have bodies," or rather, as they would express it, we are a combi nation of spirit and matter; spirit the real truth; matter the seeming truth; spirit the substance, matter the shadow; spirit the object matter the reflection as in a mirror; spirit, the law, the rule of action, matter, the world ruled, as ap pears to the bodily senses. As to hu man conduct, they Believe in absolute justice; that a man reaps strictly what he has sown; his character determines his acts and he cannot escape himself. The right motive generates proper thoughts and these lead to acts that are iaaoeordaaee with Trath and Jaetice. -..- -$-.

FRISCHHQLZ BROS., Eleventh St, Walker Cu)Useb At the Methodist parsonage, Columbus, Nebr., Nov. 26th, 1S95, by Rev. John . Moore, David W. Walker of Wakefield, Nebr., and Miss Naomi A. Clouser of Crawford Co., Iowa. The happy couple expect to reside at Norfolk, this state, for the present. Mates Yonso November 28, 7 p. m., at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R W. Young, by Rev. Moore, Ernest Mayes and Miss Nellie Young. Only members of the two families were present at tho wedding. An old-fash ioned reception was given the next day at the residence of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Mayes. Tne young folks start out with the hearty good wishes of all who know them for a pros perous life-voyage. DIED. Hexbich Thanksgiving morning Rev. A. Benrich of Platto Center. He and Mrs. Henrich had retired the evening before at their usual hour, but as they did not appear about the house in the morning, and no response was made to knocking, William Bloedorn, a son-in-law, was notified, and on forcing an entranco into tho house, it was found that Mr. and Mrs. Henrich had been asphyxiated by gas escaping from a hard coal stove. We learn the following additional par ticulars: Mr. Henrich died in a few minutes after tho house was opened. Mrs. Henrich was unconscious' until about 1 o'clock. Tho damper in tho stovepipe was turned off, and a piece of isingglass about two inches square was burst out allowing the escape of gas. Tho funeral was held Sunday, P. W. and Louis Henrich and Mrs. Walker, sons and daughter of Mr. Honrich, ar riving from Denver Saturday evening. At this writing we have not at hand a sketch of Mr. Henrich's life, except that ho was born in Germany, camo to Penn sylvania when young; wi3 engaged in preaching at Dayton, Ohio; then as preacher and editor in Kentucky, after ward in Nebraska. Ho was 7G years old last May. School Beard. The board met in regular monthly session Monday at 4 o'clock at LGluck'a office, all members present, President Galley presiding. Minutes of previous meeting were read and approved. The superintendent's report showed the nusnber of pupils enrolled for tho year 703, number belonging for tho month 030, average daily attendance 593, no cases of corporal punishment. The half holiday was given to Mr. Weaver's room on a percentage of 99.18 of attend and, and very nearly 100 per cent of punctuality. A communication was road from Bay Brico of Tama, Iowa, making application for a position as teacher in the Colum bus schools, in case of vacancy, placed on file. A communication from Miss Ida Mar tin in referenco to an increase of salary was read and placed on file. After Gluck's motion to reconsider tho action taken at a previous meeting with reference to an increase of Miss Ward's wages So a month beginning tho first of the second term had passed, Lehman withdrew tho original motion, remarking that while he believed Miss Ward and other teachers too deserved more pay, the financial condition of the district this year would not justify an. increaso, and perhaps the best time to fix the wages was at the beginning of tho year. Galley remarked that considering the times ho thought Columbus is paying fully as much wages as any similarly situated city. On motion of Lehman the public grad uating exercises of the Ninth grade are discontinued, examinations to be made, however, and diplomas issued as is usual, on completion of studies as required. Bills were allowed and warrants order ed drawn as follows: J. H. Galley 60c; Stillman's Pharmacy 88.15; Carl Kramer 850; A. Boettcher 313.60; Ernst & Swarz 817.20; von Bergen Bros 25c; Sec retary Becher, month's salary, $6.25. The secretary was directed to corres pond with Ginn & Co. with reference to certain bills. A communication of Sheldon & Co. with referenco to a balance of account properly chargable to J. N. Taylor indi vidually and since paid by him, was placed on file. Tho treasurer's report showed on hand in general fund 8108.05; in library fund 868.59; in text book fund S35.23; teach ers' fund overdrawn 376.01; in license fund 3377. Chairman Hockenberger of tho finance committee reported that there is on hand with the county treasurer belonging to tho district 81105. Transfers were ordered: .81009 from the connty treasury to tho teachers' fund; 8200 from tho license fund to tho teachers' fund; 8100 from the license fund to the general fund; 877 from the license fund to the text book fund.

Corn is mostly gathered. The snow interfered with the husking of that in the fields, since Monday of last week. T. H. Johnson lost two head of cattle from eating too much smat, eta, in the stalk field, one dying Saturday and oae Sunday of this week. Henry Dsrling raised about 25 acres of millet last summer which be had bound and stacked in the fall, and was threshing iotft last Monday. Fred. Luckey, jr., lost 13 head of cattle - recently by turning into the stalk field ami allowing them to remain too loag before getting accustomed to the feed. Mr. Kipley. who owns the Reagan farm east of the city, has leased his farm sad moved with his family to Columbus, where he has purchased a house and lots. Tho jack rabbits have suffered at the -hands of the nimrods since Monday of last week. Prior to that time large numbers of geese were killed on the river. Spade and scraper navigation closed Sunday, Nov. 24, with three inches of frost in the ground, and as many inches ot snow on top; much or the snow still remains on tho ground. That irrepressible Jim Frazier, a cattle buyer from Columbus, was out here Sat urday and rustled around among the farmers until he purchased a car load of cattle. Jim uses some effective language in acattlo deal, and he generally gets the stock, but it is wicked. Maay Yean Ago. Twenty-four years ago, this week, the following were among things referred to in The Journal: A great many are burning corn aad find it a clean, handy, good fuel. Wheat 90 and 95c at the mill; corn 25c; oats 35c; milch cows $40 to $60. s H. J. Hudson as county clerk adver tises for the presentation of county warrants for redemption. The roll of honor for district 5 school was Nettie Beebe, Emma Witcbey, Ed ward Keller and Bertie Witcbey. Tne Journal then, as now, advocated cheap fuel, and well it might, when soft coal sold at $10 a ton and wood $6 a cord. Rev. J. E. Elliott preached the Thanksgiving sermon at 10 o'clock this was the old fashioned time, sun time. It is proposed to cut up the public square north of Thirteenth street,-says the local chronicler, and yet the square remains intact. George Lehman as sheriff offers for sale the Hoffman steam flouring mill, which stood near where the Elevator Roller mills now stand. Tub Journal keeps asking the ques tion: "Has the murdered Fuller no friends anywhere who will bring to pun ishment, the man or men who so bra tally killed him?" That mystery haa not been'solved to this day, either. The snow storm of Nov. 17 and 18 was a terrible one to the people of Boone county. No one was expecting such a storm at this season of the year, aad consequently scarcely any one was pre pared. Many of the settlers had just come on with their families and were living in unfurnished houses; they had no shelter for their horses and cattle. The roads to Columbus are nearly im passable. The Farmers' club had a very inter esting session. J. B. Senecal had a ' paper on stock; T. A. Pinkney on" mar kets; Guy C. Barnum. fences; J. W. Early and J. H. Watts differed from Mr. Barnum in his views that the white ash made tho best live fence, although they' agreed with him that "the most univer- ' sal fence in this country, the most ex--pensive and the meanest of all is the dog fence."
