The Platte county fair is to be held Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Sep tember 29, 90 and October 1. It is a good time to consider what your con tribution may be to help make the fair a success. The Columbus Creamery Associa tion are having from 200 to 900 tons of ice put up ready for use in the spring. The association have not yet made any final arrangements as to the disposal of the plant. The supervisors of Nance county have directed their county attorney to take the necessary steps to recover the amount due the county from the Citi zens' State Bank, which recently became insolvent.

Seventy years only, since the first railway in the world was finished, and yet dajing that brief space 400,000 miles have bean constructed, aad Columbus is situated on one of- the world's greatest thoroagafarea, and at one of its most important radiating centers. A coauaittee from the Fremont board of edaoatioa recently appeared before the city council there and asked the repeal of the $400 saloon occupation tax and the amendment of the lioanea tax, so that the additional sam would contribute to the school expenses.

The Pioneer Heok k Ladder Co. will hold their Twenty-third annual mask ball Moaday evening, February 22d, the anniversary of Washington's birthday. These affairs have always been first-class in every particular, and nothing will be left undone on thia occasion to make it a fit companion of the many anniversa ries that have preceded it The latest thing in fashionable cir cles is the early departure of the razor toed aboe, at least for the heavier .varie ties, a new style, an English shoe known as the "Bulldog," coming to take its place. An Omaha dealer deolared the other day that he expected to lose $3,000 on his line of razor-toes. The sharp toe in the light shoes is still in demand. & S. Bulla, editor of the' Schuyler Sun came up the first of the week on an important errand. Wednesday, at St Edward, he and Miss Ruth Davis were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock. Miss Davis is the daughter of Mr. and Mra.D. O. Davia and was quite a favor ite with the young folks in that section. The friends of the newly married couple wish them a long, happy and joyous future. Fullertou Post Farmers sre already considering what they shall do in regard to seed corn. Last season's crop in many places is supposed to be rather immature, aad where such is really the case, it would not be advisable to think of using it Good corn at even a dollar a bushel is cheaper for seed than poor corn at any price. A good plan is to test the seed by actual planting in soil kspt in a warm place in the house. E. P. C, who is a close reader of The Joubhal. and also a student of the bible, proffers the following toast to the Woman's Club of this city: "Woman is the noblest work of a creative God, and since Deborah was called to lead in a war of the Israelites against their ene mies, I hope that Barak will bring up the rear, and when they meet please give them a call and don't forget to lay down a coin, be it ever so small." The young gentlemen who were so fortunate as to receive invitations to the leap year ball given some time ago by the young ladies of this city, gave a re turn ball to them Friday evening at the Maennerchor halL The young men pro vided corsage bouquets for their lady friends. About thirty couple were pres ent and a very pleasant evening enjoyed by all. The music was furnished by the Columbus orchestra, and as usual, was very good. Every person who gives it serious thought will come to the conclusion that the old-time charivari is a thing that ought not be tolerated in a civilized community. Of course there are times when its evil effects are not so noticea ble as at others, but it is at all times a thing of possible mischief. A young married woman of Hartington has gone crazy from the effects of a fright re ceived on the night of her wadding by a charivari party. Mis. M. Strauss has been very sick since Thursday of last week, and has been at the point of death since Tuesday. At thia time (Thursday) very little hopes are entertained of her recovery, though the doctors inform as there is a bare chance. Dm.

Last week Guy a Barnum was ad judged insane and sent to the asylum at Norfolk. Ha had been confined at a hospital near St Loaia for nearly a year. He had greatly improved, but the extra excitement of being-free from his long confinement-end meeting old friends aad tallriag over his troubles of the past year, with lack of aleep were too much for him.

The mouthpiece can be placed on the stand in front of the president and will not binder or obstruct the view of the throng in front of him.

It cannot be too often or too earnest ly urged upon our young men to be self- reliant Don't look to others for help don't count on the interest or good will of others; but look to your own mental and physical resources, and make the best of them. The old saying, that "God helps those that helps themselves," is full of instruction. Every man has two fast friends on whom he can fully rely' God and himself. If he lives right and makes the best possible use of his nat ural powers, life will be a success but a failure if he does not (Times. The enterprising correspondent of the Omaha Bee for thia place, had this item in Sunday's paper: "Miss Meta Pohl, eldest daughter of County Clerk Pool of this city and a pianist of no mean repute, who went to Pueblo, Colorado, several months ago to improve her health, has joined a musical club of the very highest order composed of gradu ates from Germany, Austria and New York. Miss Pohl's musical instruction was received almost entirely from her father, who is a noted violinist and was for many years leader of the Columbus orchestra and the Maennerchor." The wide-awake correspondent of the Omaha Bee at Duncan, Mr. Randall, had this to ssy of the accident happen ing near that place Saturday night: John Kosiba of Duncan was returning from Columbus with a team last night and lost his way, getting on the Union Pacific main line at Cayuga crossing. His team followed the track east about one mile to a little bridge, where both horses were killed by a passing train and his wagon demolished. He says he does not know whether he was in the wagon when the train struck it He was found nearby at 10 o'clock the same night, but uninjured. A northern man traveling through. Missouri on horseback arrived at the bank of a river. There was no way to cross it except by swimming; so, dis mounting, he tied his clothes to the horse and drove him into the river, swimming after him. Beaching the other aide he dressed and continued his way. Before going many feet however, he came to the forks of the road and looked around for a sign. There was none, but just across the river near the spot he had entered to swim across he saw a board nailed on a tree. There was nothing to do bat to get in and swim across again and read that sign. He swam across and, after climbing up the bank, he read the following notice: "Five dollars fine for crossing the bridge faster than a walk." Ex. The board of education of Omaha is likewise wrestling with the problem of expense of the public schools for next year. Licenses have shrunk, fines have decreased, which, with the state appor tionment about stationary, makes a larger levy necessary. They estimate that to conduct the schools very econo mically will require $370,000 for the coming yearn besides interest on bonds, $30,000 more, making in all $400,000. They ssy that about $170,000 of this is to be raised by taxation; that last year the shortage was $65,000 and the year before $45,000. All of which goes to show that it ia a very good thing to have no bonded indebtedness, if you can help it The "pay-as-you-go" policy is em phasized very strongly during close, hard times, and Columbus may well be con gratulated on the situation of her school indebtedness. If there are any of you old soldiers hereabouts carrying a bullet in your bones aa a relentless relic of the late war, take courage, see an expert with an X ray appliance, and have the constant reminder removed. Alex. McKay, a blacksmith of Weetville, Pennsylvania, has been suffering for eighteen years with a bullet embedded in a bone of his lag. No ordinary amount of surgical work was sufficient to develop the exact whereabouts of his enemy, and so he continued to suffer, sometimes more, sometimes less, of coarse, a variety of torture along the line of momenta, hours, days, months aad years until last weak it looked as though the end of his term was at hand as blood-poisoaiag had set ia.

This city has several ingenious men among its number of citizens, but none of them have reached the great public except M. 0. Calto, whose portrait ap pears in a late number of the National Recorder, published at Washington, D. G, a paper, by the way, which is fast forging to the. front as an inventor's journal. Mr. Calto'a invention is an ap pliance for a stove, and the Recorder has this to say: "Mr. M. C. Calto, of Columbus, Neb., the subject of this sketch, hss been awarded a Wedderburn silver medal for an improved stove. Mr. Calto is another inventor who was born and raised on a farm, but he was not destined to pursue the quiet life of a fanner very long. Mr. Calto, who is now 35 yearn of age, worked on the farm until he was 16 yearn of age, when he spent one year in a planing mill and then took a thorough business course in the Spenoerian Business Col lege at Milwaukee, Wis. After leaving school he clerked for over three years with one of the business, houses in Mil waukee, Wia when he decided to seek his fortune further west On arrivingin Nebraska he spent six or seven yearn clerking, part of the time for a foundry, machine shop and flouring mill, being more or less around machinery all the time. 'For the last eight years,' Mr. Calto writes, 'I have been in the whole sale grocery business. I have -always been of an inventive turn of mind. This, however, is my first actual attempt at getting a patent I stumbled on this invention last winter when business was dull, and I started to thinking if I could not get up something wherewith I could make an honest dollar, and one day while standing by a warm stove, (that is it would have been warm if my patent appliances had been attached) it dawned upon me that there was too much heat going to waste through the chimney and I finally hit upon my invention. I did not apply for a patent until I had partly demonstrated that it would be a good thing.' It is undoubtedly a 'good thing,' combining great ingenuity with corres ponding practicability, and as it is our opinion that this appliance fills a long felt want we advise Mr. Calto to lose no time in placing his very meritorious in vention on the market" District 44 aad Vkiaity.
