The Columbus colored lady's prayer, now famous, viz., "Oh, Lord, knock the nonsense out of us," has a fitting com panion in one which is reported from Cincinnati, viz., "Lord, help me to face the music.'' We see by the Record of Osceola that H. A. Scott of that place has arrang ed to move his store at Platte Center to this city. It is expected that W. S. Austin and H. E. Musselman will look after the business. Paul Hagel, a piano tuner of Colum bus, has been visiting old friends and acquaintances in Cedar Rapids the past week. He has also been doing work in the line of his prof on. f Cedar Rapids Outlook. Those having stock in the Columbus Building and Loan Association will be interested in the statement elsewhere published in today's Journal.

John Bixby, editor of the Album Blade, ia blossoming oat as a magasine writer, having furnished for the Over land Monthly, San Francisco, California, a description of the "Last Hant of the Pawnees," We hare not asen it, but it is doubtless good, aad many of oar read ers may wish to get it Thursday morning last, while Chan. Wurdeman was looking over the lumber pile at the planing mill, he saw a package under the end of the pile aad pulled it out He foaad that it was an overcoat wrapped around i7 razors aad 3 clippers some of the property stolen from Zim- necker k Watta barber shop. Grant Bramble, a young man of Sleepy Eye. Minnesota, is the inventor of a rotary engine that has brought him, so far, $7,000,000. It wouldn't surprise as much to know that this engine is no better than the rotary that George McFarland of this city invented some years ago but did not patent At the Epworth League service Sunday evening the subject was given, "What the young people's societies are doing." E. von Bergen told what work the T. M. C. A. hare aooomplishsd. F. Cbenoeweth of the Y. P. & a E. spoke for their cause, & M. Campbell for the Baptist and Miss Maad Woosley for the League.

Austin who has had charge of the stock at Platte Center will move his family here, also Mr. and Mrs. Mussel man will come here to reside. The building will be filled with dry goods and groceries. The secret of the management of children is love; not that foolish love hich sees in them no faults or overlooks those faults, but that tender, watchful love which corrects them, not in anger no child should ever be punished but in sorrow, which the child can see, and which will touoh his heart. Reverend Father Came. G. Frischholx was at Fort Dodge, Iowa, last week called by the death of a brother-in-law. Mr. Frischholz thinks, after visiting Iowa, that we have much to be thankful for in Platte county. He reports the roads in terrible condition. The farmers do not get as high prices for grain, and in short Nebraska is the best place to live. The following rules for good health are said to have the sanction of a very high medical authority: "Sleep nine hours out of the twenty-four; bathe in cool water; drink a oup of hot water be fore breakfast; spend at least half an hour every day in outdoor exercise; make the beet of bad bargains, and always keep your temper." Hon. James E. North, United States collector of internal revenue for the state of Nebraska, is in the city from Omaha. He has the best political plum in the state and is resigned to the fate that compels him to give it up. He is a stalwart democrat but says as between populism and republicanism be is a re publican. Fremont Tribune. At the residence of the bride's fath er, Gen. A. J. Sampson, Phoenix, Arizo na, on the evening of December 29, 1896, Mr. Frank Livermore and Miss Luoie Sampson were married. We are not acquainted with the happy groom, but doubtless he is a full worthy companion of one of the best of earth's fair ones. May their future life together be happy and prosperous. While it is very true that .the major ity of the farmers are making very little beyond their living, it is also true that a larger proportion of dty people are not doing any better, and thousands of them do not know from one day to the next where their bread aad butter is coming from. The poor, faraaer is a kiBg com pared to the poor in our towns and dties. (Madison Chronicle. Platte county scorns to be faring tolerably well in the distribution of places at Lincoln this time. We notice that J. S. Hyatt of Humphrey and D. E. Lynch of Platte Center are in the omce of J. Y. Wolfe, commissioner of public lands and buildings; Jud CL Wilson of Woodvilleisone of the eagrossiag clerks; G. W. Phillips of this city is fourth assistant clerk and Willie Hensley page.

The presiding dder of this district of the M.E. church has offered to fill the vacancy in tho pastorate herewith Rev.

Last Saturday evening at Alvia Phillips' home in Sea 3, town 16, one west, Platte coaaty, there was a tarksy supper given by the young ladies to a number of friends. When the tap Bound ed for supper, the gentlemen were escort ed to the dining room and to a surprise to be sare, in the way. The dining room table showed a display of the young ladies' home talent It surely would have tickled the heart of an English lord if he could hare taken part in the feast There is no work for a French cook ia territory. After supper, the time spent playing games and singing. Everybody present had a time which will long be remembered, Shadeland Onward, the famous trot ting horse, owned by Gould k Miller of Fullerton, died at Marengo, Iowa, last week. The Fullerton News says that the animal was valued at $20,000 and was insured for $5,000, and that no ad vertisement the town has ever had has been bo great as that given by "Shade land Onward.'' Bell Acton, one of his colts, broke the yearling trotting record at Independence, Iowa, in 1892, making a mile in "z:m; untonian Jieia tne championship for eVyear-old pacers, mak ing a mile in 2:07 at Buffalo, N.

John Freeman has left with us copies of the Galveston News and the Galves ton Tribune, both of them able represen tatives of the interests of the great South. Galveston, during the year 1896, has done wonders for herself, for Texas, and, we can fondly hope, for all this western country, in "the shipping of her bar." The dredgeboat Comstock during the year took out 715305 oubic yards of sand. Three months more, and the im mense jetties will be finished. Six regu lar lines of steamers have been put on between Galveston and -foreign ports. Foreign exports for the last 'four months of 1896 were $3800,705. Columbus is deeply interested in Galveston. -? Mason Basil has left with us a finely cured specimen of alfalfa grown on his lots in this dty, two lots, 132 feet square, producing one good ton of hay cured in July, and maturing a crop of seed, which was left standing on the ground. The seed was sown the last week in April last at the rate of a bushel to the acre. The plat was not pastured. He thinks that the best method of curing alfalfa is to cut it in the morning, let it lay in winrow a very short time, then put it in cocks, afterwards combining into larger ones, and hauling into the barn as soon as out of the sweat There is "scarcely an eighty in the country bnt what there would be an acre or so that is finely adapted to alfalfa. Koenigstein's drug store at Norfolk was practically destroyed by fire on Monday night of last week the origin a complete mystery. The News compli ments the fire department in the highest terms of praise for their prompt and efficient work during the severe storm, in saving thousands of dollars worth of property from destruction. Incidentally it remarks that the force applied to the water was so strong as to require four and six men to handle a nozzle, and then they were awayed back and forth by the hose. The claim of the News is that the ordinary pressure furnished by the Nor folk works is 100 pounds to the square inch, while Omaha and other towns get only 40 to 70. Why is that? Among the latest announcements in the way of inventions is a milking machine, operating like hand-milking, taking the four udders at once, at the rate of ninety squeezes a minute. The milk is conveyed to a pail without com ing in contact with the air. Two persons can readily operate ten machines. A companion invention is a butter maker which takes the fresh milk from the cow, separates the cream and makes the but ter come in about a minute after the milk has been sterilized by heat The butter will keep for a longer time. Both machines come from Sweden. If they are really what they purport to be, and do not cost too much, they are just what this portion of Uncle Sam's domain needs. Secretary W. B. Akers of the state board of irrigation has dismissed the protest of receivers of the Union Pacific Bailway company against the allowance of the application of H. E. Babooek on behalf of the Nebraska Central Irriga tion company. The applicant sought to w the bed of Shell creek in this and Colfax counties for carrying water ap propriated from the Loup, and divert it from the creek by means of a dam. The U. P. representatives claimed that the proposed dam would cause water to overflow the valley and thus damage their tracks and right of way. The sec retary says he cannot pass upon the need of irrigation, but in his opinion a dam can be maintained, and as to the question of damages, that ought to go to the courts. Eton W. Nelson, eon of O. Nelson of Biehland, has been appointed deputy commissioner of public lands and build ings by J. Y. Wolfe. The Sunday Lin coln Gall gives an extended account of the appointments, together with por traits, of which Mr. Nelson's heeds the list. The Call says in brief that Mr. Nelson waa born in Great Barrincton. Mass, twenty-four yean ago. He came with hie parents from there to Colfax county in. '79. Young Nelson worked his way through the Omaha business college by delivering the Daily Bee and other work he could secure.

Sines then it has been a question of more or leas time with him, aad ha has lived with the family of his daughter, Mrs. W. N. Heasley, and at her resi etecahadaaarted this life. He leaves to moara the loss of a loving father, Mrs. Elisa MoPheraoa of Haigler, Neb.; James McAllister of Meadow Creek, Montana; W. A. and Stephen & McAl lister and Mrs. Maggie Heoaley of this dty. There are, besides these children, twelve grand children and. six great grand oaikkaa. Mr. McAllister waa a sailor during his early life aad made many trips to the western. coatiaeBt before moviag here. He,was aahoaeet, upright man in every respsot,' and waa universally esteemed. He never was obtrusive with his opin ions, but alwaysiiturdy ia the mainten ance of what he believed right One who knew him intimately for thirty-five years, says that he never knew of a wrong thing done by him, and this can 'readily be believed by all who enjoyed his acquaintance. In the limit of his sphere, he filled the measure of a useful life, and gave to the world, the best legacy a departing spirit can bestow, the example of an earthly life devoted to the lore of home, friends and country; just and fair in all his dealings, a righteous man.

Mr. Louis Schwarz is authorized to arrange all matters concerning the ren tal of the hall. lt " . Columbus Maennerchor. The Albion Blade approvingly quotes The Journal's artideon bad habits in general and how to get rid of them, and the cigarette habit in particular, and adds that "perhaps nowhere is this ter rible evil more marked than in Albion. The malignant growth of the cigarette habit among little boys has been a source of constant pain." The main thing with young people, we think, is to get a fair start, and, boys, don't be dis couraged. If you honestly mean to do right, keep that intention and don't let go of it A good piece of wholesome advice told with the reason why, stayed by the writer through a twelve years' struggle against the tobacco habit, with varying successes and failures, until a final victory resulted against the habit The ordinary' house takes a considera ble time in the building and can be torn down ia a short time, bnt the house of "bad habit" is very easy to erect, but very difficult to tear town. If you start to travel on a straight line from here to New York city, and begin the journey by deflecting one degree from the true direction and keep in that line, you will never get there at all. So with a habit If you know you are going the wrong way, the very first thing to do is, to get right and then go right It can be done against the cigarette habit, the liquor habit, the opium habit the chloral habit or any other bad habit or practice. "Where there is a will there is a way," and where there is n longing to do bet ter, there is a will to accompany the longing. Remember that order is Heav en's first law, and we can only rule our own spirits by conforming our wills to the rule of right thinking and right conduct If man is not plaoed here on earth, in the midst of trials, troubles, tempta tions, sickness, pain and death, to test the spirit which animates him and to further bis progress as a spiritual being, we fail to see why he is here at all. It does us good toreoordadeed that recog nizee the call to mercy. The following is from the Clark's Leader: "Mrs. Montgomery, and three children, reached town Saturday night, on their way, in a mover's wsgon, from Iowa to Lexington, this state, where they have relatives. They were without money. Mrs. Mont gomery was ill too ill to move, in fact The team was unhitched behind West's livery barn, and the storm came on that night That poor woman and her chil dren staid in the wagen, cold and stormy as it was, and she almost dying, till late the next morning, when they were dis covered by Mr. Dibble, and he and oth ers brought them into West's hotel. Monday night a paper was drculated, and .the darks people showed their gen erosity by subscribing more than enough to take the woman and two of her chil dren to their destination on the train. The oldest boy is to follow with the team and wagon." A farmer near Sibley, Iowa, succeed ed in saving 250 bogs by a systematic use of aconite, and he believes it the only sure preventive of the disease that is killing off the hogs, as be tried nearly everything else. The diocaso is not cholera, he chums, but a kind of fever which kills the hogs if not stopped, and is easily communicated from one hog to another. He uses a quart of aconite every five days for 250 hogs, mixing the stuff with a little water, then sprinkling over about ten bushels of oats'spread out and shoreuag them over, then puts the oats in troughs so each hog caa get some. He thinks this n sure preventive and n good, sure cure. Exchange. We are jast in receipt of the Nsbras ka State Journal's almanac and encyclo pedia for 1897.
