The Journal is always thankful for
business, whether it comes to the job
room, the advertising colums or the subscription-list
of the newspaper. We be
lieve in reciprocity if a transaction is
not mutually beneficial, it is something
other than business, and we purpose to
do the right thing, and please our cus
tomers in the work they wish done.
In our exchanges we notice that
several men. long afflicted with that very
serious ailment, rupture, have been per
manently cured. Sometimes people
suffer for years when, if they would keep
posted on the advance guards all around,
they could find relief. Consult your
nearest reputable physician, and if he
does not prove satisfactory, then try
something else that your best judgment
approves.

released in Platte county for January
was thirty-eight, $28,798.70; number
filed, thirty-two, $28355; nine town and
city mortgages filed, $6,784.49, same
released, twenty, $25,963.90; sixty-nine
chattel mortgages released, $17,755.56,
same filed, seventy-eight, $31,268.12. The
difference in the chattels is accounted
for by the fact that farmers have been
giving mortgages on stock which they
are feeding.
We call the particular attention of
our readers to the change .in tlw time
table of the Union Pacific, as published
in today's Joubnal. You can start
from here at 4:37 in the morning, have
nearly the whole of daylight to transact
business in Omaha and return home in
the evening, or, if you are intending to
go direct to Chicago, you can reach that
metropolis of the great west by evening.
The new schedule will be greatly appre
ciated by the traveling public.
E. M. Thomas of Stanton county,
who was in the city the other day,
recently shipped some fat cattle to
Omaha. By the way he has sold his
farm of 160 acres for $26 an acre, cash,
and it is possible that he may come here
and make this vicinity his future home.
Columbus is a favorite place with him,
and many of the older readers of The
Journal will remember him as the "Lit
tle Englishman" who worked for Becker
& Welch at the Shell Creek mills.
The crying need of a new court
house for Platte county was never more
forcibly impressed upon the minds of
the people than it was this week when
the district court and the supervisors
were both in session. Owing to the fact
that the vacant rooms which havo for
merly been used as jury rooms are now
occupied by the county judge and county
attorney, they have no. place where
juries may retire. The county will
probably have to rent rooms near the
court house for this purpose.

Last Tuesday the Union Pacific
Railroad Company filed a mortgage to
the Mercantile Trust Company for $100,
000,000, secured by the entire main line
of the Union Pacific road, including all
terminals, transfers, right of way, etc.,

25 and 35c,
The Young Men's orchestra give a
dance Saturday evening, this week, at
the Maennerchor hall. They understand
how to please a Columbus crowd of
people, and well deserve the liberal
patronage of the public. Dne apprecia
tion of talent makes it all the more
responsive to the proper demands of the
public upon it, and, as in other cases, so
in this, they will grow by what they are
fed on. Well patronized as an organ
ization, they can then get what music
they need, and make still greater im
provement in their art.
This is what Bret Harte would, call
"puttin on airs." Last week the Ne
braska Telephone Co. placed in the
office of the Thurston hotel in this city
one of the late improved long-distance
telephones, and now when the occasion
requires any of the subscribers of the
local exchange here may transmit the
human voice direct without any repeat
ing to New York, Washington or any of
the important cities on the Atlantic sea
board. The instrument has been tested
through to Buffalo and the voice was as
clear and distinct as though they were
talking with the court houso here.
While this is nothing new for large
cities, it is quite a novelty for a town
like Columbus.
The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Congrega
tional church celebrated the Twelfth

ponded by attending in large numbers.
At the evening service Miss Bessie Shel

of the city by Miss Alice Luth, and res
ponded to by Mr. Clide Frazell of the
Baptist, Miss Jessie Williams from the
Presbyterian, and Prof. Britell of the
Methodist societies. Mrs. Warren sang
"Ruth and Naomi," which was greatly
appreciated by all. Mr. Clarence Shel
don gave a sketch of what the society
had dose in the past. Emily Rorer told
what it was doing now, and Mr. Cheno
weth, who was introduced as the prophet
of the society, told what they might do
or what had been planned for the future.
The program was interesting throughout,
and a crowded house greeted the yoang
people.

Chairman Newman read the report of
the committee on finance to whom had
been referred the petition of citizens
asking that arc lights be placed in the
residence parts of the city the same as in
the business portions. The report was
to the effect that the committee had
given to the subject the consideration
that its importance demanded, but that,
owing .to the present condition of the
city finances, they did not deem it now
advisable to grant the prayer of the peti
tioners. Lehman jocosely remarked that
a vote of thanks should be tendered
ChairatHt Newman for letting the peti
tioners down so easy.

The report of Police Judge Fuller for
December showed two fines of $5 and
costs each "for running houses of ill
fame," and of three of $2 each "for being
inmates of eame," and two fines of $1 and
costs each "for being drunk and dis
orderly." The judge's report for Janu
ary showed: one fine of a woman for
being drunk and disorderly, $12; three
for disturbing tho peace; one for resist
ing an officer; two for running houses of
ill fame, $5 each;' and five for being in
mates of same, $2 each. Councilman
Lehman suggested whether it wouldn't
be well to increase the fines on these
cases. Clerk Becker remarked that tho
amount for January was $36.
The ordinance concerning tho West
End Sewer company was put through its
course, and adopted, Messrs. Reeder and
Garlow appearing for the proposed com
pany. There was some discussion as to
whether, in case the city should ever
wish to jpurchase the sewer to be con
structed, the consideration should be
the"acttal'cost,"""of'the "actual value."
City Attorney Hensley suggested that
the title should contain a reference to
the contents of the ordinance.
The consideration of an ordinance in
the nature of fire limits was laid over for
future consideration.
The ordinance concerning telephones
was passed by a vote of five to one, the
one being Councilman Newman, who
seemed to shoot at it all along the lino
wherever ho found a hole in the wall.

linquent from users of city water and
that not to exceed half of this amount
can be collected, much of it being of
long standing. The present manage
ment are insisting upon prompt pay
ment, as due.
The city attorney has been directed to
draft an ordinance, concerning granting
of license to wholesale liquor dealers,
making it a condition that the city shall
be a distributing point.
If we wait for the city to build it,
we'll never get the sewer. Echols.
This city does not want something for
nothing, and if she did, so far as the
sewer, is concerned, the laws provide
ample remedies in either direction.

The general session of the Woman's
club met with Mrs. A. M. Post Saturday
afternoon with a large attendance. The
weather wa3 a typical Nebraska day,
warm and beautiful as spring, and nearly
all the members were present. Mrs.
Garlow and Mrs. Geer opened the pro
gram with a piano, duett, which was
played in their usual bright style. Mrs.
Ballon then gave a most interesting talk
on "Influence of Christianity on Art,"
and gave a description of several cele
brated paintings she had seen in Alaska,
especially of "Madonnas," of which she
had some photographs. Mrs. Goodale
read a delightful description of a trip
through Europe. Her paper, or rather
diary, had been written more especially
for her own family, and contained many
little personal memoranda that would
probably have been omitted had she
written it for the club, but which had
all the more interest for the listeners.
The musical department then gave a
chorus, which closed the program, after
which coffee, ices and cake were served.
The afternoon was pleasantly and profit
ably spent by all.
The February number of The Art
Interchange is rendered notable by two
special features; one, that the entire
exhibition of masterpieces shown at the
Lotos Club, is illustrated in its pages;
the other, that it carries a reproduction
of a sculptured Decorative Panel of great
beauty and novelty. This sculpture is
the work of Albert Lenz, a talented
American artist, who has not hitherto
been known to fame, but who shows
himself a genius in his special field. The
pages of The Art Interchange show ex
amples of Corot, Daubigny, Troyon, Van
Marcke, Decamps, Fromentin, eta, as
well as a number of paintings by early
English painters, such as Crome, Rey
nolds, Lely, Beechy, Lawrence, Mytens
and others, making a remarkable show
ing. For sale by all newsdealers, 35 cts.
