One of our heaviest tax payers en ters complaint that there are streets in the city where the walks are all or main ly on one side of the street, leaving the expense of repair to the owners of prop erty on that side. There are some com pensating advantages of course, but not enough to outweigh the disadvantages. The services at the Third Presbyte rian church last evening were impress ive and the large crowd was deeply in terested". Rev. O. A. Elliott, the pastor, preached a strong sermon on Profanity. Miss Ethel Galley of the university con servatory of music sang most effectively "I will Give Thee Rest." Lincoln Jour nal. Next Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at the opera house will be ex hibited "the wonder of the Nineteenth century," EdisoD's projecting kineto scope. The inauguration of President McKinley, March 4, 1897, is one of the scenes to be presented, with all the movements, just as the camera caught them. The Epworth league celebrated the Eighth anniversary of the organization at the M. E. church Sunday evening. Considering the limited time in prepar ing the exercises, the program was ex cellent The league is represented all over the world with over 2,000,000 mem bers. The Columbus league number about fifty. Rev. Rogers and Dr. Pulis exchang ed pulpits Sunday morning. This is a good suggestion. It is pleasant for both the congregation and ministers to have a change once in a while and evidences a friendly, union spirit all around. Many church members do not hear the members of the other churches only in union service. The following is given as good against chicken cholera: Put 2 pounds of copperas in a gallon jug, add 2 ounces of sulphuric acid and fill the jug up with water; after this dissolves, shake well. Give about half a tea cup to a bucket of water every day until the cholera stops, then twice a week, until your chickens are entirely free from disease. The Journal is prepared to furnish in the very latest styles, stationer's goods for balls, parties, entertainments, school exhibitions, concerts, graduating exercises, and the thousand other occa sions for which fine stationery and nice printing are in demand.

Wil liams of our city schools is to deliver an address at the First commencement of the Lindsay public schools. The friends there may expect to hear an address full of practical suggestions on educational matters, without any mixture of other or uninteresting topics. The man -who at tracts, fixes or deepens your interest in the theme of his discourse is the true orator. Several thousand dollars' worth of changes are to be made on the Clother house, owned by George A. Scott The office will be placed in the southeast corner; the parlor close by towards the north; the dining-room, north and south taking the space now occupied by the west end of the dining-room and the east end of the office. There will be other changes, adding to the value of the premises as a hotel. A lost boy 9 years old at Fremont attracted the interest of the police. He came to town with another lad, but got separated from him, and was perfectly bewildered. He had some mail address ed to Swan Nelson and Charles Devine. It is a right good plan for parents to explain to children how they may iden tify themselves to strangers and describe their residence, etc., in case of absence from home and in trouble like this lad. John Eisenmann left at Tax Jour nal office Thursday a fine specimen bunch of asparagus. He has a little little plat of ground which is only about 50 feet long, and from five rows of aspar agus he gets a yearly revenue of fifteen to twenty dollars, and the one planting has done for twenty four years. These specimens are one day's growth and are six inches long. Of course John has his own way of caring for the plants at the proper time, but he is amply repaid for his work. "Since Columbus opened up their rock pile for the benefit of the numerous tramps which have been making life a burden to the people there, they become a little more numerous here. They evidently don't fancy pounding. rock for the Columbus streets, and give the town the go-by." So says the David City News, and if the mere publication that the stone-pile is about to be set up has such an effect we may justly look for a world of good from the veritable pile in its maturity. E. D. Fitzpatrick has had soma nattering accounts in regard to his show window the past few weeks. He sent a copy of The Joukral containing a de scription of his show window to a Chi cago paper which copied the article. Chicago and New York trade journals wrote to Mr. Fitzpatrick for descriptions and published lengthy accounts. What the people want is new ideas, original thoughts, and Mr. Fitzpatrick's window represents real life about as truly as machinery can make it Tmlrteeata CsauMateawat. The Thirteenth annual commence ment of the Columbus High school will take place at the opera house Friday evening, Jane 4. The graduates are Benjamin Davis, Anna M. Dodds, Lois L. Early, Metta M Hensley, David T. Martyn, Carrie D. Parks, Fred Rollin, Jennie Saffran, Aug ust Wagner, George S. Wilson, Jeanie G. A. Wilson and Winnie M. Young. A debate will be one of the features of the exercises, as it was last year, the subject befog Resolved, That one graded school in each township should take the place of the district school system; Rollin affirms and Wagner denies. Everything is being done to make the occasion interesting. A story is told by and of one of our Columbus school boys about as follows: Friday afternoon last he was making his way to school when he was accosted by a gentleman who inquired for the High school building. The young man said "That is where I am going; are you headed that way?" Walking along to gether, the young man used quite a number of slang expressions, and came to the conclusion that the man beside him was at least a professor. He had been talking to Chancellor McLean, and will doubtless hereafter be more choice in his language, even among his com panions. A visit to Tannahill's place east.of the city will convince doubtful ones of the utility of having waterworks for gardening and orchard purposes. Mr. Tannahill has a windmill, large, strong, durable, common-sense, and of his own construction (described minutely in former numbers of The Journal), which runs two large pumps while the wind is blowing, and keeps full a large reservoir from which he can put water on all his grounds garden and orchard. Besides the windmill he has another well and horse-power, water elevator that he can use in case of necessity. All together it is a valuable plant. We noticed the Wisconsin weeping willow, two years from the planting of the cutting, with a growth of ten feet, and cottonwoods two years, twenty feet The kinetoscope gives the most realistic picture of movable things, and is simply marvelous in the exactness, the minuteness, of its reproductions. It is only when man in his efforts coin cides with nature that he even seems to accomplish anything in the way of creative art The sun paints the pic ture, the artificial strong light repro duces it, the artist manipulates, the people pay a little money, and in com fort view the great moving scenes in the world's life. What a record for the pre servation to future generations of the knowledge of these times! Not only the pictures of our great and good people, our beloved friends, but also their walks and talks, their gestures and their voices stored away for the information of future generations. Last Monday at Columbus Robert McKee and Miss Jennie Costello were made man and wife. Miss Costello re sided in Fullerton last summer where she made many friends. Robert needs no introduction to Nance county people as he is well known all over the county. As a member of the rustling firm of Kennedy & McKee, our people have seen a modest beginning grow into one of the most flourishing firms in town. The best wishes of all our people go out to this newly married couple who wish them all joy and comfort that come to married life. Tuesday evening the band boys accompanied by the hose team and their cart, called on Mr. and Mrs. McKee and gave them a serenade. Robert ap peared on the scene and thanked the boys kindly and passed the smokes. Fullerton Post. Friday John Ahrens, a farmer of Bismark township, lost a $100 mare as the result of a runaway. His team was tied to post, and in information is that there was no trouble until a base-ball struck the animal and frightened her; she threw up her head, breaking the snap by which she was held, and thenH the race began, the team colliding against a U. P. crossing sign-post on North street snd horsespoet and buggy badly demoralized. One of the team got loose and was afterwards caught in the southern part of the city. The oth er struck the post so hard that a num ber of her teeth were knocked out, and Veterinary Gabler said that the colli sion was so hard that the animal's spine was paralyzed; no relief could be given, and Policeman Schack shot the animal. The buggy was badly demolished. Thursday afternoon Joseph Zwein ner and his daughter were going home when the team took sudden fright on the Loup bridge, made a sudden twist sideways, broke the tongue of the buggy short off behind the neckyoke, letting the tongue down, the end catching on the floor of the bridge, and the force was such as to throw the buggy forward onto the team. The man was hurt on face and hands and was unconscious for quite a while. His daughter was pretty badly hurt and will probably not re cover for two or three weeks. The bug gy, which was nearly new, was a top buggy, and reduced to kindling wood. The horses were caught at the end of the bridge, and the injured couple started to walk home, but were over taken at Barnum's creek by Henry Hauser who took them to their home, about five miles away. They were very fortunate in escaping with their lives. The Newspaper Auxiliary of Omaha has this to say in its last issue, which we reproduce for our readers. The man who wrote this reads hundreds of news papers daily, and appreciates their good qualities, at least: The Columbus Jour nal the past month began its twenty eighth year,with M. K. Turner, who was the moving spirit when it started, still in charge. Papers in Nebraska that have been on the ground longer than The Journal are few and far between. It started about the time statehood com menced, and it has been uninterruptedly appearing every week since, always reli able, always truthful, always giving full measurement for value received. Col umbus and all that section of Nebraska hadn't a great deal to boast of when The Journal undertook the work of enlight ening people, of educating- them to suc cessful pursuits, of setting forth the then present and future possibilities of that section of the state, but now at the age of 28 years it looks back on these won derful accomplishments that the Auxili ary is free to confess The Journal has been an important factor in bringing about 1 formal ti.

He seems to be actually renewing his youth, doesn't wear spectacles any more, but says that he doesn't enjoy his plunge every morning in the creek as he did du ring the cold winter weather. Oae aad Oae Make Oae. John Tannahill, the pioneer gardener of this city, made an arrangement early in the spring with W. D. Askine of Lin coln to come aud take an interest with him in his garden business. The ar rangement leaves Mr. Tannahill the or chard part entire. Mr. Askine just now has five hands at work and everything is in first-class order. All you want in his line, as the season goes by, you can have by ordering. Asparagus, which has been called for by customers recently, has been fur nished from a bed that has flourished the past seventeen years, and yields a good harvest every day now. Little onions and radishes, are in brisk demand and are furnished by the wagon load. The strawberries, June berries and grapes are looking up and are coming along as fast as sunshine and water can bring them.' The beans and peas will be along in due season, and then the luscious roast ing ear will put in an appearance and fill a long-felt want With the veteran gardener to advise, and Mr. Askine with his helpers to work out the practical problems of gardening, one man and one man make one success ful team in the business. The thirty-three acres are as clean as can be and everything growing finely. Graad Coacert. Don't miss the concert at the opera House, Wednesday May 19th.

The members of the club, having pic tures of the distinguished German artist, brought them along and arranged them in prominent places about the house.

One by one are passing to the Spirit Land the early settlers of this region of the state. Among the many who very frequently came to Columbus to trans act business, bringing their farm prod ucts for sale and carrying home needed groceries, dry-goods, farm implements, etc., (and there were a host of them in every direction), none were more fair minded or more welcome than Abner Gerrard of Butler county. The Bellwood Gazette of the 14th says that he departed this life Sunday, May 9, at 11 a. m., at the home of bis son,who resides three miles west of Bellwood, Abner Gerrard, aged 74 years, 9 months and 25 days.

He has been a great sufferer for over three years, first taken down with la grippe then that dreaded disease paraly sis, claimed its hold, causing death.

To aijj Sufferers: I write this for the benefit similar sufferers may derive from it, unsolicited and out of pure sympathy to those poor mortals who may be afflicted with that dread disease cancer. In September of 18S7 tho disease known by the medical fraternity as hipuserethemustosns first made its ap pearance on my face and soon spread across the nose and over a greater part of the face, causing unsightly sores. After nearly ten years of constant doc toring with many noted physicians aud deriving temporary benefit ut times, my system at last reached a stage of com plete collapse, and I was fiat on my back with no ray of hope. At this stage I was recommended to try Dr. Lieber of Omaha; after an examination he said he could cure me. As a drowning person grasping at a straw I entered his private hospital, and in a short space of time I was able to leave the hospital a well woman. My face is now clear and shows but little sign of the dread disease. While iu tho hospital there wero also removed from my body seven cancers, and that without the use of the knife. The medical fraternity scoff at the idea of cancers being removed without the knife. But I am a living proof that it can be and is done by Dr. Lieber. To all those poor mortals who have given up the battle against this dread disease, T snv flnn't desnair. but consult with the doctor. I make this statement out of' pure sympathy for similar sufferers, and will be glad to see or answer any in quiries in regard to my case. MRS. F. E.

"Kearney Era: What is the matter with somo of the farmers? Have they not got all the land they can cultivate with out cultivating the highways? In trav eling over the county last week we saw a number of places where the roads have been plowed on either side until no more than one rod is left and in some places no more than a wagon track is left, and where the roads have been graded the ditches are plowed full, thus leaving no chance for the water to run off. What use is it to work the roads and then have them destroyed? This kind of work should stop. Sixty-six feet is the width of a public highway. Monroe Republican: W. O.
