He met while there an old-time resident of Co lumbus, Mr. Heintaman, who is living there. The blizzard was pretty "local" for a fact Its extant was 400 miles north and south and 600 east and west as reported fromTthe "locality" of St Paul, Minnesota. Miss Eulalia Biokly gave a reception Friday evening at her home for the Cecilian club, after the concert in honor of the musicians who took part in the entertainment Bev. and Mm.

A delightful evening was enjoyed by alL Now is the time to subscribe for The Columbus Journal and the Lincoln Journal, semi-weekly, both for 32.15 a year. Three papers a week at a cost of less than 4 cents a week. A heavy rain on Thursday in Kan sas lasted until Saturday, when a heavy snow-storm set in, piling snow in drifts four to six feet deep; so that the storm was not "local" even to Nebraska. C. J. Kennedy, an old resident and business man of St Edward, died at his residence there last Tuesday. He had been engaged for many years in the fur niture and undertaking business. The school board Monday transact ed no business, except to meet and adjourn to Thursday at 4 o'clock, there not being a quorum present for the transaction of any other business. "Most of us, instead of fixing our minds upon the good things that Provi dence has provided, fix them upon the evil things that man has produced. This is what makes so many unhappy." Scarcely anyone will dispute that women comprise two-thirds the church members of the United States, but isn't it a little surprising that they constitute only one-thirteenth of the criminals? It was snowing in the west Friday and there, was a change of temperature here between Friday and Saturday of SO degrees. The roads Saturday were what might be called "rocky," frozen mud.

The pulpit at the Episcopal church will be occupied next Sunday morning by Bev. Mackay of Omaha and Bev. Hewittson of Norfolk in the evening. Bar. Brown will preach at Norfolk and Wayne. If anything in the way of a new enterprise ia desirable, don't wait for outside capital and outside people to make the move, bat let those cf like interests get together, aad secure what they need. "The foundation ef 4ciety is the home. Whatever tends to prevent the making of homes, and tomake man and women averse to the responsibilities of family life, is hostile to the best interests of society." The Firemen's mask ball last Thurs day night at the opera house was well patronized. There were not so many maskers aa usual, but the number of spectators was suftoisnt tomake'the net proceeds about $90. Our old neighbor, J. H. Bead, now of Riverside, California, we notice is taking the same kind of interest in matters pertaining to the publio welfare, and especially of the ty, that he used to do Articles in the Household are copy righted, but we can be allowed to aay that people who habitually worry will find something of great interest to them ia the Houmhold of January, ia am arti- cla oa "Haw Worry Affects our QanWBB, as aaBMaaa, War, a werkft fall eff am, aal ae to assvan, -vX.-i BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBaBBBBBBBBBB vUir iS-ii of JesephP.

To the business men of Platte coun ty and central Nebraska: The very beat materiab, the neatest work and the promptest attention, given to all orders for job printing. Dont imagine fora moment that Thk Journal cannot please you in goods, work or price. See us before placing your orders. The Telegram is authority for saying that Prof. Leavy, principal of the First ward school, is a mighty nimrod, having bagged seventeen rabbits last Monday. We knew that Mr. Leavy was good at teaching the young idea how to shoot but we didn!t know there were so many rabbits in this neighborhood. A conoert was given Friday evening at the Congregational church under the auspices of the Cecilian club, Prof. Movius, Hadley and Lamprecht of Lin coln and Miss Myrtle Coon of Omaha and Mrs. Brown of this city giving the program. The limited number present was due, doubtless, to the inclement weather. The Leora Lane Co. will appear at the opera house again to-night Tuesday, being snowbound and unable to get out of town. They put on their beat comedy drama entitled "By Wits Outwitted," in three acts, interspersed with specisltieB by Little Winnie and other members of the company. Price 10 cents any seat in the house. Everybody go. As a sample of what can be done under irrigation in Nebraska comes Carsten Traeken at Loup City. He has gathered from sixty acres of irrigated land, and didnt get the water on it until August 10, 5,000 bushels of corn. Some of the tract produced 100 bushels to the acre. He thinks he will get an average of 100 bushels next year. The annual meeting of the Nebraska beet sugar association is to be held at Hastings, Feb. 2 and 3. Reduced rates on railroad lines. Among the objects of the meeting is to devise ways and means for securing additional sugar factories, so that farmers disposed to diversify their products by the means of sugar beet culture, will have a market for them. Commander J. H. Culver of the Grand Army has sent to each post in the state a blank report for the purpose of obtaining the number of orphans, widows, soldiers and families of soldiers that are now needing or will require aid during the coming winter. Looking after those that need help is among the first duties not only of the Grand Army but of the community at large. An accident happened to one of the side bars on Wm. Allan's engine. Tues day night while coming down the hill from Pilot Knob. A side bar sprung out of line some four or five inches, but a little thing like that doesnt atop BUI Allen's "old giri." He took off both side bars from the tear drive wheels and run her light on "two lags," so to speak, to Columbus. Madison Chronicle. There is no doubt but that great storms of wind generate an unusual amount of electricity, and this may be one of the causes of the peculiar exhila ration noticeable in a blizzard. There surely must be some unusual chemical condition when a man could truthfully say: "Well, when I went out this morn ing and felt the old-time buzzard, it seemed like meeting and greeting a long-lost friend." Wa have among our curios a sample of cotton raised in this city this season by William TyrreL It is a companion specimen with some raised here ia 1870 by J. D. Brewer.

At 9:20 when jMr. Schurtz and his men left the store and locked up, everything was apparently, all right Oa Sunday night the barber estab lishment of Zinnecker A Watte was entered from the rear, a storm door being pried loose with a bar, and then the inside door evidently wrenched from its place by the same implement (Noth ing was taken except 27 razors. 3 clip pers, and one pair of shears. Three razors were, by order, kept in the safe, and so were not touched. A complete new outfit was immediately put in by the proprietors, who are doing first-class work, just as always. The following have been selected to. represent Platto county at the Free Sil ver conference to be held at Lincoln, today, Wednesday: Delegates at large John M. Gondring, O. 8. Moran and W. S. Hyatt; delegates J. S. Freeman, J. J. Sullivan, John Kelly, Henry Lub- ker, W. Saunders, C. H. Swallow, & L. McCoy, J. C. Byrnes, Chris. Grunther; alternates C A. Beardaley, D. L. Bruen, G. W. PhilUps, V. H. Weaver, B. P. Duffy, J. P. Johnson, Leander Gerrard, W. H. VanAIstine and Saml. Fleming. The Telegram has this to say of the proposed convention here, spoken of in last week's Journal: "Mr. .Fort's idea is that the people should not wait for capital to come into the state .by way of. the trans-Mississippi exposition, or by, any other route, but should buckle in and start up factories here and there through co-operation between the farm ers and town business men. Mr.JVjrt is a gentleman of great ability and energy, and when he tackles an enterprise be never lets up till something comes of it. If the convention is held here, the peo ple of Columbus will see to it that our visitors are properly cared for." Cooperative institutions of different kinds are the order of- the day, and .the idea seems to be taking a new hold upon the general public. The Seward -Reporter contains the following paragraph: "Prospects for the mutual fire insurance association are improving rapidly. A large number of members have been added during the past week, and more names are being put on the list daily. All the towns in the county will have been visited by the close of this week, and all will be represented in the organ ization. Notice of the first annual meeting will be issued very soon, as the meeting will be held as early in January as possible. Official notice' of the date of the meeting will be sent to each member." The Seward Blade gives an account of a jeweler named Holbrook who it seems has been guilty of receiving watches to mend, and then pawning them with Sam Adler, a pawnbroker of Lincoln. In speaking of the matter, the Blade further says: "There has been much complaint against Adler about the manner in which he conducts bis busi ness, much stolen property being found' in his shop which he never reported to the authorities as required by law, and J County Attorneys Thomas and Collins propose to make it warm for him. He was warned some time ago not to receive any more watches from Holbrook, but he goes right along doing business his own way. People who find their stolen property in Lincoln experience a good deal of trouble in getting it again, on account of the peculiar methods of the police, who seem to want to bleed every body all they will stand before recover ing their property." The public school system will not accomplish all it ought until some way can be provided for the attendance of all children of school age that are phys ically capable of doing so. As it is now, there are thousands of boys, even in Ne braska, saying nothing about the great centers of dense population, who are growing up without the advantages which come to those who attend the public schools and who are faithfully working to prepare themselves for the duties of life. Many of these thousands seem to be deprived of . school, privi leges through no fault of their own, but doubtless there are very many of them for whom, with an extra effort on the part of parents, guardians or the publio authorities, a way might be made to assure their attendance on the free, pub lio schools. It is a difficult problem. The state superintendent of New York proposes a state truant school, "a school which will inspire rather than coerce: but coerce just the same." In any sort of bettering the weak places- must be strengthened, aad, as wa said, the public free school will not accomplish its de sign until provaioa has been made for toggery Tuesday tight awsis.

The last grand leap year ball of the year and for several years to come took place last Tuesday night at- the Maen- nerchor halt The hall had been beauti fully decorated with mistletoe and holly, each' corner of the half being furnished with divans and rugs. The stage was decorated with piano lamps and the whole, effect gave one the idea that all was purely done by the fair sex, every thing being so dainty and tasteful. Every lady escorted her gentleman friend there in a carriage, was met at the door by two colored ''boy waiters (we might insert here that these two boys were white if they had washed their faces.) The gentlemen had a neat dress ing room fitted up with mirrors and all necessary articles to make a toilet. One rule of .the evening carried out was that no gentleman, should cross the floor unattended by a lady, and when the dear boys" wanted a drink of water, even, tnc ladies attended them in the most gallant manner. The ladies wore full evening dress and all were of light colors.. The Italian orchestra of Omaha furnished beautiful music for the danc ers, about forty in number. No doubt the' gentlemen wish leap year came oftener, for they were certainly enter tained in royal style. Coanty Snperviwrs. Coltobtjs, December 28, 1896.
