John Ahrens gave The Journal a pleasant business call Thursday. By the way, this enterprising young farmer that day marketed three hogs that weighed 1,240 pounds. A missionary program given by the Junior Baptist society last Thursday evening was very interesting and the collection taken for missions among the Indians was a neat little sum. H. G. Cross is around again after five weeks confinement at home with a very sore eye, caused from catarrh. He is barely able to see out of the eye, and has suffered a great deal from it.

There will be a ten-days revival ser vice at the Congregational church, com mencing March 7, 1899. Bev. L. H. Stoughton of Albion, and Bev. H. J. Hinman of Genoa will preach every evening. All are cordially invited to attend. WillGregorius, Dennis Sullivan and Miss Eva Gregorins attended the Fire men's masquerade ball at Fullerton Tuesday night of last week. The young men speak very highly of the manner in which our neighliors conduct their entertainments. A patriotic feeling pervades the air in and around Columbus, and Saturday last L.G. Zinnecker wrote to the author ities at Washington for a commission to raise a company of volunteers to be in readiness at the first tap of the drum in case of a war with Spain. At the Bosco entertainment Monday night the contest for best waltzers resulted in the giving of the prizes to Miss Emma Hearn and Mr. Brown. Miss Hearn attended the entertainment in company of Hon.

The liesl things in book and build ings, pictures and melody, as in nature, have a heavenward bias, and he whose taste has a spiritual culture quickly senses every heavenly meaning. The mind that has real life discerns the living essence in every conditional form. C. H. Mann. The supreme court of Missouri recently decided that the city of St Joseph must pay a judgment of over $3,000 for personal injuries sustained by a woman who was hurt on a defective sidewalk. The law on such matters is about the same for Columbus, Nebraska, as for St Joseph, Missouri. Jim Brown, formerly of Colfax coun ty, and W. L. Miller (which is the pres ent name for Bill Fritz, one time treas urer of Madison county and who was a defaulter for several thousand dollars), have recently got into trouble at Colfax, Washington, Miller having had Brown arrested on a charge of larceny as bailee. The accident to W.T. Ernst happen ed Thursday afternoon at the turn of the road between the Monastery and Sisters' school, Mr. Ernst, standing on the hay rack, was thrown by the sudden lurch of the wagon to the ground, striking with his left shoulder. He was taken to the hospital near by, but only for a half hour or so. The Third Annual conference for ministers and Christian workers is to hold its sessions in Chicago at the Bible institute throughout the month of April. The particulars of the work laid out would take a half-column space in The Journal. Mr. Moody with other noted workers and specialists will be among the teachers. One day last week Nich Blaser brought a hog to town, but it was so large and fat that none of the buyers or butchers would take it, and so he got half a dozen men to help him get it back into the wagon. He took it home, and, being provided with facilities for butch ering and cleaning, they had the hog hung up by evening. It weighed 070 pounds. August Rnnge's team ran away Fri day and at the sheep ranch turned into the road leading east so quickly that the wagon was turned over twice landing the wagon bed with Bunge in it safe into the ditch from which he obtained a consid erable amount of mud in face and ears and on clothes. The team continued their easterly journey and were taken up at Richland the next morning. Charles Rndat a former business man of this city, and who removed to Norfolk several years ago, died at the home of his parents four miles south west of this city, Sunday morning at 6 o'clock, aged about 45 years. The remains passed through Columbus yes terday evening to Norfolk where the in terment will take place. He leaves a wife and family who reside in Norfolk. Miss Anna L. Gabreal of Osceola and Mr. Wilson of Silver Creek were married at the home of H. M. Winslow, Tuesday, Feb. 22. at 6:30 o'clock. Rev. Hayes officiating. Miss Gabreal has for some time past made her home -with Mrs. Winslow, and has proved herself a faithful helper and companion, and will no doubt make as faithful a wife. A bountiful supper was served by Mrs. Winslow. E. N. Waid, formerly of Schuyler, writes from Juno, Alaska, to his brother at Schuyler, on his fifth day out from Seattle: There were 900 passengers and 800 tons of freight on board their boat Skaguay, he says, is a red hot mining town. You have to lie down on your back to see the tops of the mountains. The boat that we came on will go back tomorrow with $900,000 in gold that on man brought out Ballard's Snow Liniment cures rheu matism, neuralgia, headache, sick headache, sore throat, cuts, sprains, bruises, old sores, corns and all pain and inflammation.

A saving husband said to his wjfe: "Susan, don't spend a cent of my money with merchants who don't advertise in the papers." His wife, who was a busi ness woman, replied: "You old goose, I learned better than to go where I was not invited long ago. You would be an old bachelor now if you had not invited me to be your wife. Catch me going to a store without an invitation. I guess not" Clipped. We had expected in this issue of The Journal to place before our read ers the bond proposition concerning the new school house, but at the meeting of the board Monday evening, there were questions that came up which could not then be decided, and an adjournment was taken to Thursday evening of this week, at which time it is pretty certain that the proposition will be put into final form for submission to the voters of the district. The Bell wood Gazette has this to say of a former Columbus citizen: 'W. B. Rochon, wife and son Willie will leave Bellwood about the first of April for Rushville, where Mr. Rochon is owner of 1C0 acres of land. Rushville, they say, is next door to Klondike in the line of prosperity. However, we trust Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Rochon, in their new home, will become wealthy and fat. They are good citizens and wo hate to hear of them going to leave Bellwood." George T. Angel's work along the general line of kindness to all living creatures, is telling its story, or at least those of the lower animals that can speak, seem to be improving their oppor tunities to do so, as witness the following recorded in the Lincoln Journal: "Thief! Go 'way, you thief!" screamed a parrot in a bird store on Ninth avenue this city, as Policeman Taylor was passing on his nightly round. The officer entered and fouud a burglar concealed under a cot bed." Ballard's Horehound Syrup is the beat known remedy for consumption, coughs, colds .and all throat and chest troubles. Every bottle is guaranteed. It Is the best remedy for children. 25 and Co. 50c. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock & Dr. Peters, of the Slato University, after a thorough examination of the cattle n 111 ie tod with a fatal disease near Hooper, nt Mr. Rodgers' place, decided that it was not foot-rot, as supposed, but was caused from eating hay cut from a slough, the spears of which were infected with a poisonous substanco like ergot The rotting of the hoof is only one of the features of the poison in the system, and the Dr. recommended that the use of the hay be promptly discontinued. Fremont Herald. Fred. Stenger sold sixteen head of cattle the other day for $700. One of these brought $71.09, weighed 2110 pounds, had lieen fed live months, and was bought by him five mouths ago for $34. Fred's, judgment on farm matters is regarded as very good. He thinks the indications for a good farm year in 9S are all right probably as good as last season. By the way, Fred, struck the crops last year in fine shape, rye, wheat, etc., on 518 acres, at the prices of today wonld have yielded him $4808. Elmer Smith returned Wednesday from Joliet, Illinois, where he has been attending school. He has signed a con tract to go to Klondike with a party of men, to stay with them one year from next September. The company is pro vided with $6,000 in money, and expect to make something to show for their year's work. Elmer took the Sunday afternoon west-bound passenger train to join his party on their long journey to the land of glaziers, midnight sun and gold, and his many friends here will wish that he may have unbounded suc cess in securing large chunks of the precious yellow metal. There is no pain or discomfort when Tabler's Buckeye Pile Ointment is used. It relieves that itching increased by scratching. It is prepared with sci entific accuracy and professional knowledge, and Is the kind that cures blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles, with no pain or loss of time. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock & Co. Rudolph Kuminer, well known to many Journal readers, was going to his farm south of the river Friday afternoon "when his team became unmanageable on the Platte river bridge. The buggy tongue fell down and the end catching on the plank, the tongue was broke off short and this short part likewise catch ing on the floor of the bridge, the buggy was overturned and Mr. Kummer thrown out against the railing of the bridge, barely escaping a pitch through the rail ing into the channel below. His hip was not dislocated, as reported, but he was considerably bruised. He is at his home in this city, and getting along very nicely. Mies Florence Jennings arrived in the city Friday noon. She started from Fitzgerald, Georgia, the Tuesday pre ceding, being accompanied on the jour ney, as far as Omaha, by Mr. McLean. She says that all her folks have had bet ter health than she has had. She was on her way to her uncle's, D. N. Jen nings, at St. Edward, expecting to stay during the coming summer. She brought to The Journal a souvenir from Lookout mountain in the shape of a neatly carved paper knife, the gift of her father, A. M. Jennings. It is as clear-cut and pointed in its work as our old friend is in the expression of his political opinions. There are many dances given in the city during the year, but few of them come up to the standard set by the Pioneer Hook and Ladder Co. Their twenty-fourth annual mask ball given on Washington's birthday, drew a house crowded full of people, there being more than a hundred maskers, besides spec tators. The dance broke up at 2 o'clock in the morning. The hall was profusely decorated, and every appointment com plete, to the provision of electric lights far beyond the usual shut-off. Of course, only such results can be attained by the conscientious and thorough work of the several committees in charge. The com pany may well feel gratified at the re sult, viz: about the nicest ball they ever had, and the neat sum of $103.40, after payment of all expenses. The Journal is pleased to record this substantial rec ognition of one of the beat organizations of the city. jfMKfttftfa)t?a)au iforstnal 9(eNttif. 33434'fr J. D. Stiree was in Schuyler Monday. E. J.

Rogers of the Congregational church of Columbus, made a profes sional call out this way Friday. We should now prepare for field work on tho farm, as we believe the season will be two weeks earlier than last year. Frank and Thomas Discliner were hauling a largo quantity of corn into Columbus last week, receiving the round price of 20 cents a bnshel for same. Good enough. We have just made an examination of the peach buds, and we find that they have not suffered any injury thus far, and unless the weather should be un favorable later on, we may look for a crop of peaches. W. T. Ernst, we are told, while haul ing a load of hay through Columbna last Friday, lost control of his team and fell to tho ground, striking in such a man ner as to render him unconscious until after he was taken home.

Every boy or girl, at some time in their lives, seem to have the stage ferer, more or less, and there is a neighborhood down by the High school that can get up a show on wonderfully short notice. Last Saturday afternoon Josh Whit comb was-placed before the public with startling resemblance to the real play which was given a few weeks ago at the opera house. Wiggins' barn was used for an opera house. The show drew a large audience, a street parade with home-printed posters doing good work as advertising. All the seats were taken, the'admission feo 1 and 2 cents, brought to the delighted actors 44 cents, which was divided among the stockholders, the hired actors receiving 1 cent apiece for their work. The plot was thrilling from first to last, and even tiie death of a woman who died bravely, with a smile upon her face, could not suppress the laughter of the audience. Woman's Clali.

Journal: A local note in The Journal two or three weeks ago referring to some heavy loads of hay hauled by Nick Blasser's sons, some three tons, I think, by four horses, attracted my atten tion. We have been agitating the matter of better roads in Southern California for the past few years to some purpose. Have had some excellent roads built that are giving great satisfaction. But the most important movement was in the passage of a law in our county requiring the use of wide tires on road wagons. A reasonable time for making the change was given. At first much objection was made by farmers, but soon the change from narrow to wide tires began to goon, even faster than the law required, and now you seldom see any but the latter in use, from three to five and six inches wide, according to the loads the wagons are designed to carry. The result is quite remarkable. Instead of the loaded wagons being road breakers, they are road makers. Besides, heavy loads re quire much less team power than tho light loads formerly did. To illustrate: formerly, a ton was considered a fair load for an ordinary team to haul from our orchards when the soil is always kept mellow by cultivation. Now, for our own teams of medium weight 72 boxes of oranges, averaging 55 pounds, are their regular loads. Heavier teams (2 horses) take 100 boxes of same weight, over the soft ground, easily. Uniformly wide tires used on Platte county roads, if not already required, would be of immense value to the roads, as well as of incalculable advantage to the farmers using them. I find that cold weather is a relative term. We did not use to think that zero weather in Nebraska occasionally was anything bad, but here, when the ther mometer runs down to the freezing point, we begin to get frightened. For several nights during the past winter the thermometer was watched with great anxiety all night. The safety of half a million dollars worth of property in our little valley depended on its variation but a few degrees. The orange tree nor its fruit will stand severe cold, and the winter has been the coldest known here for many years. But we escaped with little damage. We have been experi menting with frost preventions for a season or two, and begin to feel confi dent that burning coal in little wire baskets placed ut frequent intervals through the orchards, and smudges pro duced by burning wet straw will prove a reliable protection to our orange crops, when jeopardized by frost. The largest crop ever produced in onr valley is now going out at the rate of from 25 to 40 car loads from Riverside every 24 hours.

While wo Cali forniaus have great respect for him and are interested in his people, outside of San Francisco, most of ns can not think that annexation would prove a wise thing. J. H. Reed. fin a note to the editor, Mr. Reed says: "Wo have worked and waited a good while, but our young orchards are now beginning to make returns. Have just finished picking two car loads of lemons from our 3-year-old trees and we have about tho same amount of oranges to ship. My health is greatly improved, and all are quite well."J For Tuk Journal. Energy aad Matter. Speaking of these subjects from a scientific standpoint, we may say that the Greek scientific school of thought of Aristotle took a view differing from tho mystic idealizing of things so much, and gave that the forms of matter were the only real. And that force was an effect from matter rather than being a real. An examination of the subject shows that man's ideas are more an opinion than a demonstration. The ten catego ries of Aristotle were sought to be reduc ed to the five predicables as more logical. Matter is now thought to possess motion and gravity, one a moving, the other a static force. A view the opposite of the first is that energy is tho real, and that the forms of matter are the effect These are the two views in the unity of nature, with a dual opinion that both are reals. We simply wish to present the varying views and attendant facts that each one may judge. What mankind needs are facts rather than conclusions. The Buddhistic formula is that there is a power exerted throughout the uni verse, but that it is a nonsentient power. Western nations are divided whether matter is the only real, or whether there is a power exerted throughout the uni verse that is a sentient power and oper ates and builds. The world will eventu ally settlo tho point, and arrange the thought upon the inevitable. Building and operating are known. Animal and plant life exist. In times past our globe may have been more cir cular, but by subsidence tho seas gath ered into ono place, and by upheaval the continents appeared that lieeame land. A distinct effect prodncesa distinct form. For instance, when we take a receiver and place therein a fine powder as Lyco podium powder, we find that when we whisper in the receiver the powder will rise as a cloud, and when it settles it will settle in a fixed form. When we sound in the receiver a certain note in music the cloud of powder rises and settles in the same form every time the same note is sounded. Thus each saparate note in music gives its distinct and separate effect, in form. Take this same to the realms in nature. Astronomers tell us that they locate meteoric paths by what are known as 56 radiant points of meteoric motion. Chemistry tells us that there are 50 ele ments that are metalic, besides the non metalic ones. These are certainly facts that at least form a coincidence as to number, and are strikingly illustrative of the effect of form from movement. Tho qnestion arises, Do these facts assist in solving what we wish to know? And that the forms of energy give us the forces and also the form3 of matter? As a sample of radiant point, we see in the February eastern evening sky a sickle shaped cluster of stars. From the center of this circle of stars is a meteoric radi ant point that gives the November shoot ing stars, about which we will hear so 1 much aooa. E. J. Coucs. Oar REMOVAL - SALE !
