A light snow Tuesday morning with some wind. It is remarkable the little wind we have these times compared with formerly. Cattle feeders notice this fact, as they have a good deal of pumping to do by hand. Parks famous medley, A Basket of Chestnuts, (from original manuscript), "Mammy's Lil Boy," and the "Goblins," will be included in the program to be rendered by the Imperial Quartette Wednesday evening of next week. The friends of W. H. Elian of Hum phrey will sincerely sympathize with him in the death of his wife, which occurred Sunday night at Humphrey. Her maiden name was Ada Fox, and they had been married but about four months. Ballard's Horehound Syrup Is not a mixture of stomach destroying drugs, but is a scientifically prepared remedy that cures coughs and colds, and all throat and lung troubles. Its action is quick, prompt and positive. 25c and 50c Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock & Co. B. P. Williams of the St. Edward Sun called at Journal headquarters Thursday on his way to Colorado, where he goes to visit his sons. Mr. Williams is one of those war veterans whose mem ory of the old scenes is yet clear and vivid. Gerhold Spitzer went to Omaha Wednesday for the restoration of his sight. He is the same man who in the summer season leads his cow back and forth to pasture at Gottschalk's. We have not learned whether there is hope for him. Gordon Cross, Bert Galley, Ernest Dussell, Chas. Miner and J. A. McDon ald attended installation of officers of the Sons of Veterans at Bellwood last Saturday night. They all report having a good time. H. B. Beed was the in stalling officer. It is understood that Horace G.

Fifteen men from Columbus atten ded the Firemen's convention at Kear ney last week. They captured the secretaryship of the association for the next year by electing Earl Pearsall of the Bissell Hose Team. All say they had a good time. The next annual con vention will be held at Beatrice. James Cannon, a cousin of the Tur ner famdy of this city, all his life a resi dent of Harrison county, Ohio, and one of the prominent citizens of Athens township, died Thursday, January 13th, aged seventy-four years. As the Cadiz Eepublican says. Mr. Cannon "was one of the best of citizens in every respect." Ernest Stenger, civil engineer of Omaha, was in the city the first of the week, talking over the sewerage proposi tion. It has not taken shape yet, but is expected to be a mile and a half in ex tent, not interfere with the present line, and accommodate the northwest portion of the city. A committee is soliciting stock. The Imperial Quartette that gave an entertainment here last September, will visit our city again next Wednesday evening, February 2, under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor society. All who attended the concert last fall will be sure to go again. Tickets on sale at Pollock Co's store, 33 cents; reserved seats 50 cents. Labe Caldwell of Osceola recently had his right arm completely mashed to the elbow hy having it caught in the cogs of a cornsheller. Mr. Caldwell is unfortunate, having lost the sight of one eye from having a piece of steel from a wagon tire striking him with the above result Mr. Caldwell is a relative of W. T. Allen of this city. J. T. Clark has been heard from at New York city on the 14th, stating that he would sail on the Umbria on the 15th for Liberia, via London. The officers of the Philafrican Liberators League say that he did not asr to be sent out by the league. That if he had, he would not have been appointed, as bis appearance was entirely against him. John Flynn & Co. have leased the Barber building for five years, their present building being too small for the large business done by this enterprising house. They will move early in Febru ary, then Columbus can safely aay she will have the best clothing bouse in cen tral Nebraska, and a house that does business squarely on business principles. Present indications are that the travel toward Klondyke, when the spring opens, will be more than the usual move ment, and perhaps something like the exodus of 1849 to California, an eye opener, a record-breaker, an unprece dented emigration, and a time which pnt the civilization of the human race sev eral notches ahead. This portion of the country we bettere will have its fall share of the trareL Gram dealers frosa several towns along the branch roads and Fremont met here Monday to make a combine in their efforts to secure better facilities from the railroad companies for the shipment of grain.

The Third annual meeting of the Northeast Nebraska Horticultural socie ty which convenes at Leigh Jan. 27-28, will discuss fire blight in apple trees; fruits for northern .Nebraska; how to plant an orchard on a farm; what fruits and bushes to plant for family use; cherries; tree growing on sandy soil; poultry; forage crops. We always knew that the city of Columbus contained some of the most sensible women to be found anywhere, and at the opera house Wednesday night last they showed a consideration for others by nearly all in the large audience removing their head gear, thus giving all a chance to see the play without obstruction to the view. Thursday evening the W. of the W. lodge will have a public installation of officers in the Odd Fellows hall John Yates of Omaha, sovereign clerk of the lodge will be present and give a talk. A musical program, games and dance will be the evening's entertainment, and refreshments will be served. Each member will be privileged to invite two friends. A committee of the county super visors was appointed before their adjournment, for the investigation of the county coal pile, the county hav ing bought forty-two tons of coal in November, and the supervisors not being able to learn where it was used. It is understood that the committee, when the board meet, will make report of their findings. A laughable incident occurred on Wednesday morning at the U. P. yards. A tramp was going to ride the blind baggage out of town, but Conductor Fox saw his game and laid for him and did not let him get on. The tramp then started on the run down the track after the tram, singing, 'Tell them that you saw me, but you didn't see me saw." Albion Argus. The Schuyler Quill copies E. J. Couch's last communication in The Jourxax, and commends his articles as well filled with information. Mr. Couch is not only a meteorologist of consider able merit, and his articles on that sub ject always attract our notice." as the Quill says, but he is a scientific man of no mean attainments. He is appreciated by those who know him best. At the Maximilian Dick concert last Tuesday evening there was but a small audience, and we will say that all our music loving people who failed to attend, missed a rare treat. An entertainment under the auspices of the Episcopal church is a guarantee of an excellent program, and it is surprising to see how few turn out. Mr. Dick and the Misses Lay and Brotnober are artists of the highest order. An Iowa man says there is the same apprehension there, as here in regard to the price of cattle, taken for feeding, or sold on mortgage, viz., that the feeders, as a rule, will be donating their corn and a good portion of their labor, to the owners of the cattle, because of the high price which last fall they agreed to give. It is beginning now to be realized, the ones least able, being compelled to sell because no longer able to continue feeding. A rousing good meeting was held Monday night by the Columbus Fire Department, forty-five members answer ing to roil call, each and every one of whom seemed anxious for the good of the organization. After the regular order of business, election of officers took place, resulting as follows: President, E. D. Brink; secretary. A. B. Miller; treasurer, Gus. Plath; chief, Bert. J. Galley; assistant chief. Louis Held, all being re-elections except treasurer Plath. News has been received at Eising that Frank Marble has been offered 540,000 for his claim in the Klondike. Mr. Marble was formerly a resident of Butler county and in poor circumstances, earning a livelihood by such odd jobs as fell in his way. He left here some six years ago, going to California, whence he went to the Klondike on the breaking out of the gold excitement there. His mother and a brother live at Eising. The latter is now working on the section at Stromsburg. Bellwood Gazette. Saturday morning about 5 o'clock at Oconee, the Daniel Murdock store, which is also occupied by the posteffice, Mrs. Fanny Murdock postmistress, was found to be on fire, and before any help could be secured the building, with all its contents was entirely consumed. All the postoffice records, with about 514 in stamped envelopes were destroyed. The loss of the store is about 52.000, with no insurance. The fire is thought to be of incendiary origin. As this was the only store in Oconee the loss will be felt by the whole community, as well as the Murdock family. The Poultry Farmer is the name of a new paper published at Des Moines. Iowa, in the interests of the farmer and farmer's wife who raise poultry and pro duce eggs to pay the grocery and dry goods bills. It is a 16-page monthly published at 50 cents a year, and is a practical farmers' poultry paper, as dis tinguished from a poultry fanciers' jour nal. It is just the kind of paper that is wanted on every farm where a lien cack les, for its purpose is to help make the cackling profitable. Send for free sam ple copy, addressing The Poultry Far mer, Des Moines, Iowa. The packed condition of the opera house Wednesday night last upon the appearance of that old-time comedian, John Dillon, in his popular play, -Bart-lett's Boad to Seltzerville," proved to all in the audience that the present play house k entirely too small for the grow ing city of Columbus, all the seats in the house being occupied and many persons, including a large number of ladies, being compelled to stand throughout the four acts of the play. What man or company of men will immortalize themselves by erecting a suitable theatre for this town? There is no question but what Columbus is a good show town; the people turn oat when they know they are not to be gulled. With proper management, we believe a house of this kad woald be good for iavestocs. Xfatiif. ia th in i ii my Eev. Pulis is visiting his sons at Kear ney. Warwick Saunders was up from Omaha Saturday.

Last night was one long to be remem bered in amusement circles. Lew Hall's famous Georgia Minstrels, consolidated with the Big Black 400 Specialty com pany, presented a varied and interesting program at the Grand opera house, in cluding good singing, side-splitting jokes, buck and wing dancing, musical acts, marvelous acrobatic feats and other good things too numerous to mention. There was not a dull minute during the whole time and with so good an all around program it is beyond us to pick out the real features of the performance. Briefly stated, it is the very best min strel show ever seen here and it is truly a big dollar show for 15, 25 and 35 cents. Columbus (Ohio) Journal.

'Ex-Judge Matt Miller of the Butler county bar (Nebraska), while engaged recently in the trial of a case before Judge Edward Bates of the Fifth Judi cial district, says Law Notes, "was arguing strenuously in support of an objection to the introduction of certain evidence offered by the opposing counsel.

Died, Sunday, Jan. 17th. at his home in this city, Matthew Fuchs, aged 85 years. His death was the result of ail ments due to old age. The funeral was held Tuesday, from St Francis chnrch. Mr. Fuchs was an old and respected cit izen of this community and by his death another one of the pioneers of Platte county has joined the silent majority. He was born in Austria in 1S12. In 1S67 he came to America, locating in Wisconsin, and in 1S73 came to this com munity, where he has remained, doing well his part in the change that has been wrought over the waste of prairie which the early settlers found. He leaves a widow and three children, Fer dinand and Conrad Fuchs and Mrs. Frank Brockhaus. who have the sym pathy of all in their bereavement. Humphrey Democrat. The Orphens society celebrated their second anniversary last Saturday night by giving a dance at the Maennerchor halL About fifty couples were in attend ance and they made merry till a late hour. At midnight a bounteous supper was partaken of, after which a fine rock ing chair was presented to the leader, Frank Gores. Louis Held making the presentation speech. The present being an entire surprise to Frank, he was so filled with gratitude he could hardly talk. The organization is in good shape financially, there being something like 5200 in the treasury. Two years ago they organized with sixteen charter members; they now have sixty. The evening's doings were enlivened by music that for the dance furnished by the Maennerchor orchestra, and the Orpheus society and their quartet ren dered several vocal selections which were highly appreciated. All in attend ance had a good time. Quite a .number heard Eev. Pulis' sermon on recognition in heaven Sunday evening, one man remarking that he did not like to hear such sentimental sermons, they affected him too strongly but why should not men be affected strongly for their good, and to their good? Why allow the affecting to be mostly done for his evil? The reverend doctor's textwas the well-known passage of Paul, "Now we see through a glass darkly, but then, face to face," and was a very strong presentation of the doc trine from the standpoint of scripture. The leading thoughts were that each individual is an identity, recognizable through all the vicissitudes of life here, and there is no reason to doubt that it will be so there. The anecdote of the Welsh minister was told who replied to the inquiry of his wife, "Shall we know each other in heaven, John?" by saying "Certainly, well not be bigger fools up there than we are down here." The rev erend doctor did not rely upon the anec dote as a weighty argument, but illus trative of the attitude of the scripture to the subject, that is, it is taken for grant ed that, conditions different, we will yet recognize each other there as we do here, we will meet and greet and know them, there as we did meet and know them when here, and this continued ex istence is the real object of this, our earthly existence. We are wise if we recognize this fact and act in accord- laacewxtkit. fersaal A Tiaely Saljcet. W. G. Whitmore of Valley, president of the stockbreeder's association, called attention at the meetg the other day to a subject that deserves, more than passing attention. Never, perhaps, until the present sea son has it been conceded, all around, east and west, that Nebraska was the great feeding ground of the country. A recent report by a statistician shows two million five hundred thousand cattle and five million sheep, to say nothing of the hogs. Mr. Whitmore said that he had noticed that the agricultural press urged farmers to feed out the grain as they raised it, claiming that by so doing they generally made money, while the' fact is, he says, that for the last ten years at least the chances for profit and loss have been about even. We cannot refrain from quoting at length: But this Idea, so persistently instilled into the minds of the small farmers, has only awaited conditions which made it possible to culminate in disappointment and more or less disaster. Two large corn crops in succession, with very low prices, coupled with an enormous accu mulation in the banks of money seeking safe investment, led to the purchase last fall-of these millions of cattle and sheep, most of them of inferior or ordinary quality, by persons of little or no expe rience in feeding, at prices which few feeders of experience would pay and which were out of all proportion to the price of fattened animals. The "heads I win, tails you lose pro cess by which this has been brought about is as ingenious as a new-fangled rat trap; and the consequences to those who are caught are similar to those awaiting the rodents. Mr. Packer, or a syndicate of him. places an unlimited amount of money at the disposal of commission firms who can thus pay for feeders. They in turn sell to farmers on time, at from 4 to 5 cents per pound, the farmer giving his note at a high rate of interest secured by mortgage on the stock, also on all the feed on his farm, and signs a contract to finish them up in fine shape and return them to the same firm to sell back to the packer, who furnished the money at whatever he chooses to pay: and in order to make sure that the feeder shall not raise the money and pay his note and do as he chooses with the cattle, he is re quired to give a note in advance for the commission for selling, the commission man thus catching him a-going and a-coming, as the darkey did the coon. Already the results are beginning to appear, the packer is getting the cattle and 10 per cent on his money. The com mission man has his two rake-offs, the farmer has got rid of his corn and hav and is lucky if the cattle bring enough to pay the notes and interest; but he had the fun of doing the business and he also gets the experience. And yet the lead ing agricultural paper of the trans-Mississippi country editorially advises feed ers to keep cool and stand by their feed ing operations. It strikes me the advice is about as useful as if it had been per petrated upon the fellow who had a bear by the tail and could not hang on and dare not let go. It would be an insult to the common sense of Nebraska far mers to presume that they will follow up that sort of a game very long. District 44 and Vicinity. Win. Moore & Sons made a business trip to this place Monday. R. S. Dickinson of Pumpkin Ridge passed this way Friday in quest of stock.

Snp't Leavy came in Friday from his first visit, which he made, beginning in the northwest part of the county and coming down the west tier, and in by way of Monroe and Oconee. He carries with him a pocket map of the school districts showing the location of the school houses, and keeps field notes showing the condition of the schools he visits; their needs, their shortcomings, etc. This he does for his own information.

The violation of nearly every ordi nance and contempt for public opinion for the past few years has made the worm turn and it is doubtful if licenses are granted this year.
