Our impression is that the last two
destructive hog -cholera raids Platte
county suffered were brought by way of
Colfax county. In places that county is
again troubled, and the utmost precau
tions should betaken against its spread.
It is conceded now on all hands, we be
lieve, that the disease is contagious, and
can be carried from place to place even
on shoes or wagon wheels. Keep the
hogs in good trim, with comfortable,
clean quarters, changing them frequent
ly from one place to another; a variety
of feed; with fresh pure water to run to.

"There are three dimensions known
namely, length, breadth and thickness.
Considerable can be done with length
only but add width and their combined

With all three dimensions there is no

fourth dimension?"
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hewitt of
Shelby, have been in the city several
days the past week, visiting relatives.
Mr. Hewitt speeks very lightly of the
reported gold find near their place, but
thinks that considerable good may come
from the sinking of artesian wells in
Nebraska, several in York county being
used for irrigation purposes.
John Tannahill has gained consid
erable notoriety through his irrigation
pumping mill. In September A. B.
Heath of Nebraska Farmer was in our
city and made a little write-up of Tan
nahill's mill. Eastern papers copied
the article extensively and John has re
ceived just 113 letters asking about it
and only a very few of the lot were from
Nebraskans.
Tho vacation which the school chil

conditions being the very best possible.
The increasing ability to think correctly

About forty j-onng people, members
of tho Reading circle, were entertained
by the Misses Fitzpatrick Friday even
ing. Card playing and music were the
features of the evening. Prizes were
given for the best and the poorest play
ers. John Byrnes and Miss Alice Quinn
received tho royal prizes and the booby
prizes were given to Edmond Sullivan
and Miss Agnes Keating. Refresh
ments were served and a very pleasant
evening was spent.
It seems that a new discovery has
been made in making sugar from beets
that promises to work a revolution in
that industry. The process was tested
at Grand Island last week and pro
nounced a success, turning out sugar
from the juico in thirty minutes, in
stead of as by the process now in use,
which requires ten hours. This raw
sugar can be kept for a longtime, so
that few factories, comparatively, will
be needed for finishing. The smaller
factories, it is said, can be owned and
operated by a few farmers of even
moderate means.
There seems to be a good deal of
stealing done in our town; many people
have lost small articles, several have had
chickens stolen. But a very peculiar
occurrence happened at the residence of
Henry Bagatz last Saturday evening.
About three weeks ago the wash-house
was entered and several pieces of cloth
ing taken, and a box of clothing which
had been stored there by the ladies of
the relief committee last winter, bad
been gone through but nothing was
found missing. Saturday night the
wash-house was again broken into and
furniture thrown out of order, but noth
ing was missed. The thief or thieves,
wrote with white chalk on a picture that
was hanging on the wall, in good hand
writing the following threat: "I want
woman's underskirts on this street or
ril set your house on fire. Revenge."
On the stove about the same threat was
written again. The circumstance has
naturally caused some uneasiness in the
neighborhood. Mr. Bagatz says they
have no objection to the, parties having
the clothing and would gladly give them
to any needy person.

There is a debating club of the
Catholic church that spend a few hours
every other Sunday in discussing some
popular subject. Last Sunday the sub
ject taken was "Resolved, That the
south offers more inducements for im
migration than the north." Debaters
for the affirmative were Miss Kate Flynn
and Edmond Sullivan; for the'negative
Miss Jennie Shannahan and Wm.
O'Brien. The debate for the 12th will
be "Resolved, That the pulpit has done
more to elevate society than the press."
The debates begin at 4 o'clock and we
understand they are freo to the public.
Quite a serious smash-np on the B.
Ar M. Friday at Seward caused by the
fast mail train on the Billings line run
ning into the local train engine that
runs from here to Lincoln. The fast
mail fireman was instantly killed while
Fireman Jeffries of this city was badly
hurt by having his right foot caught in
such a manner as to split it, making a
painful wound, from which he will be
obliged to keep to his bed for some
time. Wo did not learn who was to
blame for the wreck but it was reported
that the fast mail was about seven min
utes ahead of time. At the inquisition,
Dec. 20, before the coroner, the verdict
was that the collision was caused by the
fault of freight train No. 31, and that
this was in charge of Thomas Wilson,
engineer.
At Fremont there are several things
that are noteworthy on the part of
neighbors. One is that an association
of ladies is active in protesting to the
city council against the present method
of fining inmates of houses of prostitu
tion, which they believe to be in effect
the same as licensing them. They urge
in their protest the enforcement of the
law providing for the owners of houses
used for such purposes and of all other
laws tending to the suppression of these
places. They assert as a fact that young
boys are found at these places. Their
written protest was commented upon
before the council by some of the ladies
who declared that they had visited
these places and knew they violated the
laws The council has ordered gaso
line lamps for streets outside the elec
tric light limit.
E. Loweston read a paper before the
Stato Dairymen's association which con
tains an excellent suggestion to land
holders, and as appropriate to Colum
bus and vicinity as it is to Lincoln.
Here it is in brief: "Many creameries
have been started where there is an in
sufficient supply of milk and cream.
The speaker recommended that specula
tors holding land idle should subdivide
it and induce settlers to como and en
gage in the dairy business. Creamery
men find difficulty in getting a constant
market. This condition could be reme
died by the judicious employment of a
little capital. Modern refrigerator plants
can be erected and run as cheaply here
as in the east. A second Elgin could
be built up right here in Lincoln if
capitalists would take hold. It would
be the means of starting many other
factories in allied lines of industries."
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Barber Saturday evening a party was
given by Messrs. Cox and Hart to about
sixty young people. The house was
beautifully decorated with smilax and
Chinese lanterns, and with genial hos
pitality extended by the pleasing gen
tlemen, all were made to enjoy them
selves. A short musical program was
rendered, one solo by W. H. Damsel,
was very good. Then a couple of hours
was devoted to card playing, after which
a fine supper was given. Those present

Editor Jouusal: It is sometimes
stated that the Omaha Bee is losing
ground here, when the facts are ono
hundred and forty-one copies of the
daily and one hundred and sixty-fivo
copies of the Sunday Bee are delivered

fact that it is the only daily paper de
livered here in the morning, and partly
through the energetic efforts of Mr. .1.

Mr. Samuel Drinnin and Miss Cath
erine Browner were married in the
parlors of the monastery by the Catholic
priest, Christmas morning, at about 9
o'clock, Mr. Will Browner and Miss
Eveline Drinnin acting ns groomsman
and bridesmaid. Miss Browner is a
Platte county girl, having been born
and raised near Columbus. She is a
young lady who has made friends
wherever she is known, by her hannv.
gentle disposition and general rood
character, founded upon rare good sense
and intelligence. Miss Browner has
been one of our most successful county
teachers. Mr. Drinnin has been a resi
dent of Platte connty for several years
and has become well known to this
community as a successful farmer. The
newly wedded couple will be at home
after January 10th, northeast of this
city, at what is known as the Blaser
farm.
We know of an instance where par
ties owning a section of Nebraska land
but not having the ready cash to stock
it, hit upon a plan that has bean suc
cessful in having their land bring them
an income, iastead of being an impedi
ment in the way of tax-paying. A con
tract was made to have such of tho land
as was not natural meadow broken up,
in exchange for two crops, ono of them
being on the sod. Of course, the hay
land brought in a revenue, and has
broken a good thing for the renter when
the other crops were shortened on ac
count of the dry seasons. It was only
a few years ago that operations began'on
this line, and now the section is in fine
shape with fairly-good improvements,
taxes all paid, no incumbrances, and a
modest income for the owners and the
renter too. It is excellent plan for land
owners to utilize their holdings and at
the same time enhance tho value of
them, and add to the general prosperity
of the community.
The first number of the Fitzgerald,
(Georgia), Enterprise lies before us,
dated December 20, 189."). As always, in
regard to any country, yon can loam
more in a general, way by reading ono
copy of a good local paper than you
could by a score of letters from ordinary
correspondents. Reading the lines and
between the lines, yon get the informa
tion you desire, and we would advise
any Nebraskans who are thinking of
going to Georgia to subscribe for the
Enterprise, SI a year. As for instance,
we quote: "The colonists have been
here long enough already to notice the
great disadvantage under which tho
south has labored so long in raising
cotton and depending on the north for
the necessities of life. Hay, grain, Hour,
Irish potatoes and oil, commodities
which have to be shipped from tho north,
are high, while canned goods and staple
groceries manufactured in the south,
sell for about the same as in the north.
Improved railroad facilities and new
methods of farming will greatly assist in
cheapening the cost of living here
From what we learn it is the custom in
this country to celebrate ou Christmas
instead of the Fourth of July The
days of rainfall since Mayl: May, 9;
June, 13; July, 19; August, 19; Sept., 9;
Oct., 1; Nov., 2; Dec., so far, 2 A
great many people in the state of Geor
gia and in neighboring states are very
skeptical yet as to what this colony is.
They are familiar with this unsettled
pine country and can't see how people
can live here the first year. 'What do
you have to eat?' 'What are yon going
to do?' and 'Where are yon going to
stay?' are the questions one hears on all
aides. We can only say to such, come,
see and be convinced."

Christmas' Festivities.
Tho several church Sunday schools
held services for Christmas and in all
Santa Clans seemed to provide for his
youngsters. The churches were neatly
decorated and all were well filled with
interested friends and relatives of the
children.
At the Presbyterian church Christmas
eve a Ferris wheel was gorgeously decor
ated with presents and illuminations of
red, white and blue. The wheel was
about ten foot in diameter and made a
pretty picture. Music and recitations
constituted tho program.
The German Reformed Sunday school
had a tree, with a good program for the
guests, Tho tree is to be illuminated
for Now Year's.
The German Lutheran school also had
a tree with music and recitations, given
Christmas evening.
The Methodist school gave a program
of dialogues, mnsic, etc., and had two
trees decorated ou either side of the
archway. The motto, "We have seen his
star and aro come to worship him." One
interesting part was a song by four little
people, two boys and two girls, who were
dressed as grown people, Mr. Lindstrum
as tho assistant superintendent of the
Sunday school,' and a tailor by trade
dressed the boys in regular tailor made
suits, and the audience went wild with
delight at their unique appearance.
The United Brethren church did not
celebrate on account of holding revival
services every evening.
Tho Catholic church had extra servi
ceshigh mass at 5 o'clock, low mass at
8:30 and high mass again at 10:30.
Extra music was given, a violin and a
mandolin adding greatly to the selec
tion. Miss Lizzie Sheehan sang a solo
nt high mass service. A tree was given
at tho school for the children.
The Episcopalians had services and
communion in the morning Christmas
day. and in the evening a tree decorated
with presents for the children. One
commendable plan was theVgiving of
presents, each scholar receiving a pres
ent valued according to tho number of
Sundays they had attended the Sunday
school. If they wero present 4.1 Sun
days they received a present worth 4.1
cents. No candies were givon.
The Congregational school celebrated
Tuesday evening and had a chimney
bnilt with boxes filled with candies and
nuts, tho program consisting of mnsic
and recitations, a doll drill being one of
the most interesting features of the
program.
At the Maennerchorhallthochildrens'
festival was celebrated as usual, about
125 large and small being present. Santa
Claus came in mingling with the chil
dren and givingeach one presents. They
had a unique way of evening up expen
ses (Santa never accepts anything that
is not absolutely a free-will otTering)
articles were sold, (pigs in pokes, so to
speak), John H. Kersenbrock buying a
pig's tail for $1.25, John Seipp another
for 05c, John Bncher a pig's foot for 95c.
Tho officers received presents, Otto
Heucr, a calf's head; E. Pohl, a S1.000
note (blank). At about 12 o'clock, after
Alphonso Heintz had blown out his elec
tric lights, the happy crowd adjourned
for the hight.
