The Wild West will open the season on April 12 at Ambrose Park, South Brooklyn, and after two weeks there, and three weeks in Madison Square Garden, New York city, will take to the road. Now don't do like that New York man did, when the midnight cats pestered him so that he could not sleep for their yowling; that is get np and hurry out barefooted with a pistol to shoot them, and then step on a rusty nail in the yard, get lockjaw and die after ten days suffering. This is the year, says the Wahoo Wasp, that the law requires a census of the old soldiers and sailors of the state to be taken. The county clerk has sent out blanks to the assessors of the coun ty and it is their duty to make returns of the name and other information con cerning all ex-soldiers and sailors resid ing in the county. Judge W. N. Heusley wrote a pretty caustic letter last week to Senator Gon dring, against the office-extension bill, a proposition to lengthen the term of office of ( county officials to four years and in cluding in its provisions the present county officials. It is understood that our senator and representatives were opposed to the bill. George Scott is well versed on the needs of our schools, and on the desira bility of attention to practical things, and will be found to have no impossible notions or cranky ideas as to school management and neither will he be swayed from what he considers right by considerations outside of the true welfare of the child and the school. -R.Koeuigof Butler county shipped load of cattle from here Wednesday night to South Omaha.

The strained relations between receipt and expenditures,which have, been the program for so many long weeksvseem to be relaxing to the extent that a little light appears ahead, enough to justify those who had all along con templated building, in now going for ward with the delayed plans. The opposition ticket, supposed to be composed by silver democrats and silver republicans, is called by the Argus "The City Silver Ticket." The Telegram aays "The democrats name a superb ticket All free silver forces generously invited to participate in the democratic convention. They accept, and draw a prize or two." Thx Joubxal supposes that the proper name, accordingly, will be the "Superb" ticket, or the "superb;" Every intelligent community should have a good active literary association it is a most excellent institution, an in centive to all that is good in the way of mental progress, which means, of course, development in general We notice that the Platte Center literary society gave a closing program Saturday evening, con sisting of music, recitations, one talk, dialogues, debate, orations, papers, pan tomime, a thesis Christian Grnnther being in charge of the last number.

There is often a good deal of real funny fun and choice amusement at initiations, but occasionally something serious happens.

Behring, postmaster at Hum phrey, died there Saturday morning, of asthma and dropsy, after a lingering and painful illness. The funeral took place Monday morning. He had served the county as supervisor; was prominent in basin ess and politics in his community and wall thought of by nil who knew him. He wfll be sincerely mourned by me many friends in Hnmphrey and Platte county. Jacob A. Ernst will make a first das representative ot the First ward in the council chamber of the city, and it goes without saying, of course, that when he represents his own ward faithfully he is, at the same time, doing hie beet for the general interests of the city. Give him n rousing good vote, and send him in with a majority to be proud of. He wfll appreciate it The same can truthfully be said of John Hoffman and Clinton C Gray. They, all, are of the younger dans of basiness awn, and will prov to be the right naen in the ofhtnteee. In Fremont recently a concert was given by a union ot a few of the church choirs, which was a great success. We would suggest for Columbus that if the choirs of our city would meet occasion ally for mutual benefit in studying music and how to present it, the churches would be greatly benefited. "Music hath charms to sooth the savage breast" Every one is better for hearing good musio and the church choirs have an excellent opportunity for helping the church. A U. P. passenger train was wrecked at Stromsburg Saturday night The switch had been thrown to a side track and locked; the train, running at the rate of twenty miles an hour, struck some freight cars on the side track. Engineer Clark and fireman Dobbins both jumped from the engine, receiving slight injuries, but no broken bones, and will recover. The mail and express car was damaged considerablv. while the freight cars were knocked off the track and smashed entirely. -J. H. Galley has been identified for years and years with the interests of the city and is devoted to its welfare. No body doubts but he will make us as good a mayor as we have ever had. He ie liberal-minded, and will, as mayor, act upon the same general principles that he has applied in hia own business and in his conduct of his offioial duties as member of the school board and of the city oounoil plain, honest, business principles, and their prompt application to the seat of trouble. Miss Wainright of Blair, a mission ary to Japan who spent some nineteen years in that country, gave a lecture in the Congregational church Thursday evening with n crowded house present Miss Wainright wore the drees of a Jap anese lady throughout, and looked a very picture out of a book. Her lecture was intensely interesting, as she told of the life and customs in Japan. Mi Wainright ia a daughter of the late Bev. Wainright, who frequently came to our dty in the interest of the Bible associa tion. While here Miss Wainright was the guest of Mrs. a H. Sheldon and Mrs. Dr. Geer. The county west of us has a rather aggravated case in the matrimonial line. A young lady had ensased to marrv a young man, the time was fixed for last fall, bat she jilted him, and then a short time ago, (the next day after her return from an stern city) she again agreed to marry him, but he casually learned that she had in the meantime been married, and when she was confronted with the fact she at first denied it and then said she wasn't going to live with that fellow anyhow. It ie certainly n strange way for a lady, young or old, to act There are moral and legal obligations with ref erence to marriage that should be known to all who even contemplate entering into that relation, the most sacred known to hi Oar Coaaciuaea. Jacob A. Ernst, the republican nom inee for councilman of the First ward, will make one of the best representa tives of their interests they have ever had in the councils of the oity. Mr. Ernst is one of our very best busi ness men; knows the needs of the city thoroughly; has good, common-sense views of matters; will look to the in terests of the entire community, while not neglecting or slighting those of the First ward; he is a man who considers well the circumstances of a situation, and acts only after due deliberation. Our city affairs are very important to us, and Mr. Ernst will be a safe councilman. John E. Hoffman, the candidate for the Second ward, is one of the staunch republicans of the Second, and deserves well at the hands of the citizens of that ward and of the city. John keeps n pretty close mouth, but he does a wonderful amount of think ing, and he thinks along straight lines. He is a level-headed man, and his record as a former councilman of the city showed him to be a man of admirable judgment in oity matters. He is a man who looks beyond his own, private interests; allows his thoughts to go towards his neighbors' welfare along with his own, and honestly strives to do what is right for all others as well as for himself. John is all right Clinton C. Gray, candidate for the Third ward, is one of the prominent young republicans of that ward. He is a business man of rarely good qualities, and will make a superior councilman. He gives matters in his charge the closest attention and is careful in all things. He has the scientific habit of thought the gathering of all the facts; generalizing from them to first princi ples. The true interests ot the Third ward (which of course are in unison with those ot the dty) will find in Mr. Gray a strong advocate, a practical promoter. In any emergency that may arise, you will find him cool, deliberate, sensible, safe, and this is the sort of man you ought to elect as a councilman. The body of W. L. Godfrey was found floating in the river, says the North OhUlicothe (HI,), Herald. When the body was' found there was no coat or hat thereon and the indications were that at the time he was drowned he was in his shirt sleeves. His coat was re covered at a saloon. On the evening of Jan. 9, Godfrey entered the saloon with Thomas Humphreys and called for the drinks. They took whiskey and after it had been disposed of, Godfrey said he couldnt pay for it In the little alter cation which followed be took off his coat threw it on the bar and walked out of the place. The presumption is that he walked out of the saloon, crossed the railroad tracks, went down to the docks and plunged into the river. In the coat was found n letter from his son Thomas, aged 10 years, and who is living at Mon roe, Nebr. In the letter the little fellow mentions the fact that he will be 10 years old on the following Saturday and re quest hia rather to send him a present.

Very many, even outside the ranks of bis own denomination, have learned to admire him for his ability and his de- votedness to his calling. The resolution speaks for itself: Inasmuch as it has come to oar notion that Bev. Charles Stanley Brown, rector oi urace .Episcopal cnurcnot this city, is about to sever bis connection with his parish, we,' the Ministerial Union of Columbus, Nebraska, have in regular session passed the following resolution: Resolved, That we appreciate the inter est and faithful services ot Bev.

Galley is thoroughly well equipped for the office of mayor. Hav ing been a member of the dty council a number of years, he understands all the minutiae of the city's affairs. havintr made them a study, with the same care that he does of his own individual affairs. He is eminently practical in all meas ures originated or advocated by him, and works for what he regards the city's best interests without reference to pnblio clamor or mercenary considerations of any sort. The situation impels Thx Jocbxal to say that Mr. Galley is a man who will do his duty as he sees it, fully, fearlessly, without favor, but he will not ask you to vote for him. He regards that as a mat ter resting altogether with you, and it becomes all those who wish to see men of Mr. Galley's kind elected to office, to vote for him themselves and do what they can besides in convindng their fellow-citizens. In Mr. Galley's charge the duties of Mayor will be safely, carefully, conscien tiously discharged. Dbtriet 44 and Vieiaity. The snow was splendid for fall grain. Master -Herman Stonesifer is taking and saving quite a collection of small skins, comprising wolf, cub, squirrel, J. Rabbit, B.

Brood sows that will drop their pigs in this month, should not be neglected, as is too often the case, but placed by themselves in a comfortable pen and given a suitable bed of clean dry straw, for this is the worst month in the year for young pigs to come in, and it is only through them that we may hope to get 25 cents for our corn. City Clerk. Henry P. Coolidge, th repnbhoan candidate for dty clerk, will make one of the best clerks the dty ever had. He m an excellent seaman, aader staads the city's affairs, having spent most of hi lit here sad raised a large family, aad carried oa bum's oas more or leas extensively from the early year of the dty till bow.

Mr. Coolidge ie thoroughly competent City Treammr. Frank Wnrdeman, the republican can didate for dty treasurer, has been all right in the disoharge of the duties of that office, and doubtless will be so again. Your money, every cent of it has gone just exactly where it was ordered to go, so far as Mr. Wurdeman's part of the transaction was conoerned. Frank has a vigor ot mind and force of character not found in all young mea, and having transacted with perfect fidel ity the business of the office for which he has been nominated, he well deserves re-election.

In the senate we sat beside Senator Gondring and took pleasure in listening for two hours to the proceed ings. The lieutenant-governor is evi dently an able parliamentarian, and seems fair and impartial in his rulings. Senator Gondring is wide-awake, active, and evidently one of the trusted leadere in legislation in the senate. Wm. Daily was the only one of our compan ions in the senate of 81 that we met but he looks hale and hearty as of old. It would hardly seem like a session unless you could see Tom Kennard and Tom Majors somewhere around, and there they were. I was told that Majors wsa interesting himself in some legislation wanted for the normal school at Peru. Kennard seemed a looker-on.

It often Iudmih that a man may have qualities eminently fitting him for the office of coundlman or mayor, and yet not be properly equipped for the duties of city clerk. The business of a clerk ie maialvto haJn the mayor and ooaadl ia the dispatch of business during; n session reading thsmiaatesof the previone meeting, re ports of committees, communication, eta, and in taking correct notes of what transpires, and pladng upon the record, in a good legible hand, an accurate ac count of the proceedings. The clerk should have good general knowledge, be a ready reader, and n good penman. When he is, the business of the council daring a session is very generally dis patched with little trouble and delay. Only those who have had experience with an incompetent clerk are able to say how undesirable such an one is. The republican candidate, in qualifica tions, has all the requirement of n good clerk he is all arend canahle. A Card.
