Talk comes from Neligh of the
organization of a base ball circuit with
Neligh, Norfolk, West Point, Columbus,

towns might be added and one or two
dropped in the above list before a con
summation is reached, but certainly such
a league would provide the Norfolk fans
with a series of fast games the coming

The Seward Reporter has this to say
concerning the appointment of our
townsman, L L. Albert as district judge,
to succeed Judge Sullivan, who is now a
member of the supreme court: "The
new judge is one of the old-time popu
lists, and his appointment is not alto
gether pleasing to the democrats, who
think that a member of their branch of
the three-tailed aggregation should have
had the place. But the governor, with
his eye fixed on the prospect of securing
a third term in the. executive chair,
probably knows which course is the more
advisable for his political interests." -
The county teachers meeting which
was held in the high school building
Saturday afternoon, was the most suc
cessful ever held in this city. There was
scarcely standing room, and every num
ber on thea program was carried ont as
advertised. The songs and exercises by
the city school children were particularly
interesting, because they gave the prac
tical work as in school. The teachers
showed considerable spirit in regard to
an article in the Northwestern Monthly
referring to a speech made by Dr. Butler
of Omaha at the State Association.
Resolutions were passed by the teachers
censuring Dr. Butler for the article.
The next meeting of the teachers will be
held at Platte Center, February 12.
A special to the Omaha Bee from
Albion, under date of Saturday says:
"Willard Baker, cashier of the Albion
National bank, shot himself through the
right temple this morning at the bank a
little before 8 o'clock. No hopes are
entertained of his recovery. No motive
can be ascribed, as the bank is solid and
has a large reserve, and his personal
affairs are apparently in good shape.
The act was evidently committed in a fit
of despondency or insanity, he having
been overworked and unable to sleep,
complaining of terrible pains in the head
during the last week." He has died
since the above was written and the re
mains passed through here Monday to
Eagle Bridge, N. Y., Dr. Brash of Albion
accompanying them.
Tuesday night or early Wednesday
morning of last week, burglars entered
the offices of Way & Hockenberger, and
the one just across the street occupied
by Foster & Smith. At the former place
entrance was made by breaking a glass
out of a side window. Nothing was
taken, but the inside box of the safe was
opened with a hammer and punch, and
papers were strewn all over the office.
At Foster & Smith's entrance was easily
gained by breaking a large glass out of
the front door. While fooling with the
safe (which was not locked in the even
ing,) it was in some way locked and it
was abandoned. A gross of pens was
taken from the desk, which was all that
was missed. The impression is that
some one not far away did the job and
his chances are good for a trip over the
road.
Baker Post No. 9, with Union Camp
No. 134, and friends to the number of
about sixty, attended joint installation
Saturday night. The program as carried
out was first installation of Sons by Bert
J. Galley, who first read his commission
from the Colonel of the Division, then
installed the officers of the camp. The
office of installing officer for the G. A.
B. was filled by John Tannahill, in a
happy manner, after conducting com
mander James H. Galley to his proper
position. Comrade R. L. Roaster pre
sented to him (with a very neat speech)
the new Laurel wood gavel, sent to the
post by A. M. Jennings of Fitzgerald,
Georgia. The reply of Commander Gal
ley was very good and brought forth a
great deal of applause. Supper was
served by a detail of Sons at 10:30, after
which there was vocal and instrumental
music until midnight, all going home
well pleased. Nine brethren ware in

The Congregational people had a
"house warming" in their church last
Thursday evening, a rejoicing over the
splendid furnishing that was placed in
their new church home recently. Re
freshments were served by the ladies in
the class-room until about eight o'clock,
when all were seated in the main build-
t-mtvto listen to a program, a review of
the history of their church. Elder Hud
son, who was one of the founders of the
first Sunday school, oat of which sprang
the first church, gave a very interesting
account of the first church which was
the Congregational church. The first
church was dedicated in February 1867.
The first car of freight brought to Colum
bus over the Union Pacific railroad was
the materials for the church. Workmen
were then paid about four dollars a day
and the little church then built cost over
$1,600, the building now owned by the
Baptists, C. A. Speice, M. Weaver and
James Freston carpenters. Rev. Gay
lord, a missionary, was the first preacher
in town in the year 1863. Rev. Lewis
followed in 1865, aud Rev. Brown came
in 1868, the first regular pastor after the
dedication of the church. C. G. Hickok
gave an account of the second Congrega
tional church which was dedicated De
cember 14th, 1879, Rev. E. L. Sherman,
pastor. Rev. Rogers reviewed the con
dition of the church for the past year
and also read a letter from Rev. W. S.
Hunt, now president of the Congrega
tional college at Salt Lake city, who was
the pastor of the present church when
erected. Reports were also given by the
clerk. Miss Sheldon, and the treasurer,
Mr. Hickok. The past year over S900
has been raised above tho regular ex
penses for the furnishing of the church,
which includes a new furnace, entire new
carpeting, electric light chandeliers,
papering and varnishing, and pews. The
church is in splendid financial condition
and the new furnishings make it one of
the most pleasant places in the city for
worship.

DUtrirt 44 aad Vicinity.
Wm. Moore says that he lost 200 hogs
last fall, before the disease left bis pens.
Several teams from Colfax county
passed this place last week loaded with
straw, for the sheep ranch near Colum
bus. Last Friday while husking corn for
Wm. Moore, John Griffin husked even
100 bushels, and George Drinnin husked
9i bushel?, all husked in the snow.
A fair price for all of the straw that is
brought into the market this winter we
fear will cause some of us to run short of
litter for bedding our own stock before
summer, especially if we should have
much stormy weather in February and
March. Let us look ont for that before
it is too late, as we cannot hope to buy
that article in bad weather if we should
try.
Sewerage.
On Monday evening last, perhaps, a
start was made for an extended system
of sewerage for the city of Columbus.
For several years the line on North
street has been in operation, and has
given good satisfaction, showing its
utility and also its money-earning
ability.
There were some twenty-five in at
tendance at the meeting last Monday
evening, and a committee was appointed
to solicit stock, and call a meeting later
along.
The project is not to go farther north
than Seventeenth street, further east
than the First ward school house, nor
farther west than the Sixth principal
meridian line.
Dr. Evans presided at the meeting,
and L Sibbernsen acted as secretary.
At the Court Hoaoe.
The new officers assumed their posi
tions last Thursday morning.
Sheriff Byrnes appointed Thomas Gen
tleman deputy, continuing a man in the
position who has proven himself faithful
and capable.
County Clerk Phillips appointed Louis
Lachnit of Humphrey deputy and John
Graf, one of the two clerks, Julius Ras
mussen being the other one for a few
weeks, when L. H. Hendryx of Monroe
will probably take his place.
It is understood that County Judge
Robinson and County Attorney O'Brien
will have their offices at the court house.
District Judge Albert held his first
term of court last Saturday.
The supervisors have been very busily
engaged the past week.
Oldest Xewpaper.
There was a time when even Platte
county didn't have any nowspaper, but
it was a long time ago. The Journal
was established May 11, 1870, and has

ever since. This can be said of very few
of the newspapers of the state, perhaps
not more than three, possibly four.
The names and years of the pioneer
journals, which are still published are as
follows:
Nebraska City News 1851
Nemaha Advertiser 1836
Nebraska Citv Press 1858
Nebraska City Statts Zeitung 18G7

Fullerton Post: While running a corn
sheller for Mr. Ed. Meyers last Saturday,
Frank Ilobbs got his leg caught--in the
tumbling rod and badly lacerated. For
several hours he was rendered uncon
scious but with good medical attendance
he was finally brought around all right
and is doing as well as could be expected.
Cedar Rapids Outlook: Pierce An
drews, one of our best and most suc
cessful farmers is an enthusiastic advo
cate of artichokes as a feed for bogs.
He raised them extensively last year, ami
says if he had commenced raising arti
chokes ten years ago he would have been
worth five thousand dollars more than
he is. He says his hogs which fed upon
this root through the fall, and until the
ground froze up were greatly improved
in health and general condition. He
thinks that every farmer should have a
few acres at least planted to artichokes.
'Norfolk News: A young man named
Drews was arrested at Grand Island
Monday night on the charge of firing the
shot that disfigured for life the face of
Miss Grace Hansen at her home near
Wood River. He was about to take the
train for California it was thought, but
was arrested while eating supper with
his father at one of the hotels of Grand
Island. He claims that the shooting was
purely accidental, he being out to cele
brate the closing of the old and begin
ning of the new year. Tho nose, one eye
and the greater part of one 6ide of the
girl's face were torn away.
