In matters of political action where
it is presumed that there will be more

is best for the mover of the motion not

he armed who hath his quarrel just."

this case is J. S. Wells of this city.

ia getting off a train at Hnmphrey last

The people of Columbus may well
congratulate themselves for keeping
step with other people in regard to pro
gress and improvements which modern
times may be proud of. Some time in
the near future a joint stock company
will be organized for the manufacture
and sale of an A No. 1 family washing
machine, which has been invented and
originated by our townsman, John
Schmocker. United States patents are
pending and the machine is considered
by experts, the best and most practical
on the market of this country. The
name under which patents have been
applied for, was decided to be "The
Fitzsunmons," and by entering a contest
with other machines, the proof will be
clearly established, that the name is
well chosen, which, of course, means a
prizefight. It is now manufactured at
the shops of John Brewer of this city,
where a number of them are displayed,
for the purpose of having all lovers of
a clean white shirt to pass their judg
ment. James N. Paul of St. Paul, Nebr., on
his way to Fullerton Monday, dropped
into Tee Jottrsjll sanctum to renew
old acquaintance. His first passage
through Columbus was in 1866, on a sur
veying expedition for the government,
in the western part of the state. The
Indians were so bad, however, that they
returned to Columbus, and proceeded
north, surveying Madison county that
year. He remembers the Hayes family
on Shell creek and says one of the boys
helped them in the survey. O. F. Davis
and Chauneey Wiltse, (both now gone to
the land of the majority), did the sec
tionizing. Many a time, Mr. Paul says,
they would have been glad, on account
of the Indians, to leave all their survey
ing tools and escape with their lives, but
they kept at their work, didn't lose any
thing, and received not a scratch. Co
lumbus, that year, was in a fever of ex
citement. Mr. Paul, although gray
headed, is clear-eyed and frolicsome as
ever, and we were glad to aaa kiao.
