If the people of Omaha are calcu
lating on seeing crowds of the good
people of this goodly land visiting their
city this snmmer, they must work a
change in the present conduct of their

much freedom allowed the "crook," and
too much restraint put upon the honest
citizen out on business, by "toughs"
who are entitled to no more leniency
than so many prowling wild beasts.

While Scott Gardner's team, hitched

Through both correspondence and
direct conversation with the people, we
have become aware that the fewest num
ber of our people have anything like a
proper conception of the worth and
magnitude of the poultry industry of
this country. It is a fact that no other
single industry of our people with one
single exception produces annually so
great an amount of wealth. The re
ceipts from every branch of the indus
try for the year 1897 amounted in round
figures to $300,000,000. Wallace's Far

from 9 o'clock a. m. until 7 o'clock p. m.
at the usual places of voting in the sev
eral wards in the city and in the terri
tory outside of the city at the town ball
in Columbus township, that every per
son, male or female, who has resided in
the district forty days and is twenty-one

It is a pity, but it seems too true
that there are boys and girls who are too
entirely tough in their make up for use
ful occupation in the ordinary homes
and there can be no reasonable doubt
but they will thrive better at the reform
school, where they are under restraint
pretty much all the time, with, of course,
a chance to get into better habits and
better prospect of getting along in life
when they come to maturer years. A
boy at Fremont, 12 years old, was found
dead drunk in front of their opera house
Monday night. His mother declared
that she could do nothing with the boy
any more, and the sheriff took him to
Kearney.
A runaway accident, says the Her
ald, occurred at Newman Grove last
week, to a party of young folks coming
home from a party, and Miss Hanna
Bergstrom, Cora and Maud Wyatt were
severely, though not seriously injured.
The young men who were standing in
the back of the wagon, were thrown out
almost at the start and escaped unin
jured. Miss Bergstrom received a se
vere cut over the left eye, Miss Cora
Wyatt had a thumb dislocated, a foot
sprained and face badly scratched; and
Miss Maud Wyatt had an arm broken,
three great gashes in forehead and
smaller ones in cheek, requiring several
stitches to close them.
H. T. Spoerry, who is a member of
the Children's Home Society of the state
of Nebraska, desires us to call the atten
tion of Journal readers to the facts that
on April 1st a company of New York
children are advertised to be here for
placing among Platte county people;
that society is not acting with the Ne
braska society at all, he says, or with
our state authorities, or in accordance
with the laws of our state. Any girl at
14, or boy at 15, can choose their own
guardian, and no one can prevent them
these conditions set forth will not
enforce themselves by a good deal, and
the committee named do not assume any
further responsibility. There is no ob
jection, certainly, to the adoption of all
the children that may be' brought, but
let them be adopted in accordance with
the good laws of the good state of Ne
braska, and not otherwise laws favora
ble to the Tory beat interests of the girls
aad boys.

ttepaktkaa City Ticket.
E. D. Fitzpatrick, the candidate for
mayor, is one of the prominent business
men of the city, well known to every
body as a good, capable man, and one
who has the interest of the city at
heart. He is a man who attends strictly
to business, and will make a thoroughly
active chief executive of Columbus.
To his native ability, he adds a con
siderable store of information on all
matters of public interest, and is espe
cially well informed in city affairs, hav
ing served as councilman.
John Brock, candidate for city clerk,
is one of those veterans of the late war
who happens to be active and a good
penman. "Mr. Brock is bright and quick,
and haa all the qualities for a first-class
clerk of the council.
Bert Galley, the candidate for treas
urer, is' a young man, a thorough ac
countant, and every cent of the city's
money will be faithfully accounted for
by him.
Judge Fuller is the well-known offi
cial who has conducted the affairs of
the office the past term, and will doubt
less show the same ability during the
next.
W. T. Allen will fill the duties of en
gineer with complete satisfaction.
Emil Pohl for the First ward, E. P.
Dussell for the Second, and George
Scott for the Third are all good, level
headed men of affairs, and will bring
experience, ability and abundant integ
rity to the discharge of their duties as
councilmen.
Henry Hockenberger and J. G. Feed
er, as members of the school board, are
interested both as men of families and
property owners in the welfare of the
district, and will make first-class mem
bers of the board. Mr. Hockenberger 's
services during the past term have been
rendered with the ability and integrity
which always characterize his work, and
his many friends will be glad to vote
for him again.
The ticket is a very strong one
throughout and there is no reason why
it should not receive the vote of every
republican.
Commencing yesterday, mail clerks
are expected to weigh all mail they take
on or put off their cars, which will be
kept up for thirty-five days. This is
done for the purpose of getting a basis
from which to make contracts with the
railroads for carrying the mails for the
next four years. The Bee remarks that
it is hardly complimentary to the morals
of the managers of our great railway
systems that it should be necessary for
the pojjlaLanthorities to ask congress to
impose legal penalties on persons who
pad the mails during the peried when
they are weighed for the purpose of
fixing the compensation to be paid the
railroads for carrying them. Nobody
would have any incentive to pad the
mails unless the railroads made it worth
while to do so.
John A. MacMurpby, one of Nebras
ka's oldest journalists, died Wednesday
evening last at Omaha of heart failure.
He was born in New Jersey and was 60
years old. He began bis newspaper
work in New York city, at one time be
ing a contributor to Frank Leslie's pub
lications. He came to Nebraska in 1857,
locating at Decatur. When the war
broke out he returned to New York, and,
as a member of the First N. Y. Mounted
Rifles, served nearly three years in the
eastern armies, returning to Decatur in
1864. Mr. MacMurphy was for quite a
while a writer on the Omaha Republi
can, his articles signed "Tip-Top," at
tracting considerable attention. In 1 872,
he bought the Blair Times; after that
the Plattsmouth Herald, the Schuyler
Sun, the Wahoo Wasp, the South Omaha
Hoof and Horn, then the Beatrice
Times. When in his prime, Mr. Mac
Murphy was a lively, racy, witty writer,
and was considered an excellent corres
pondent. His fun wasn't of the mechan
ical sort, but had at times a rich natur- i
alness that provoked hilarity from the
most sedate of bis readers. What was
mortal of our friend will be laid to rest
at Plattsmouth. His wife, who survives
him, will have in this city many ladies
who will sympathize with her in her
deep affliction.
Alf. " Burgess called at Journal
headquarters Monday. He is now a
traveling salesman for a chemical whole
sale establishment of Denver, and tells
us that his -home ia "wherever he takes
off bis hat" He and Mrs. Burgees are
visiting1 her sister, Mrs. Early, while
they are in the city. It has been seven
teen years since they lived here. Both
look in excellent health. Mr. Burgess'
father and mother are now at Millville,
Pennsylvania, among old friends. Last
August they had a re-union at Millville,
of the teachers and students of Green
wood seminary while in charge of Wil
liam Burgess, from a copy of which we
notice that our citizen Col. M. Whit
moyer, was one of his students in the
days "long gone by." Frank, who was
editor of the Columbus Republican
when here, is living at San Francisco;
be has a daughter 17 years old; is mar
ried again his first wife, who was Miss
Lizzie Baker, having died. Watts Bur
gess is at Berkley, California, and is the
father of five children; Charles is in New
York City, and Ed. (Harry) is in San
Francisco, as is also their cousin, Em
erson J. Potts, who conducted here the
Columbus Independent. Mr. Potts'
mother, known by many of our older
readers, is in England at present, but
expected home shortly. Mr. Burgess
tells us that there has been a wonder
ful growth in California in the years
since they have been from here until
now. San Diego, for instance, then bad
a population of 2500, now of 20,000. The
family made many warm friends while
here, who will always remember them
madly.

How l Yoar Company ?
In the event of war a large number of
our best citizens could not serve their
country as volunteers without paying a
forfeit which any mac might hesitate to
pay.
These are they who hold life-insurance
policies. They have for years paid pre
miums on policies in order that at their
death their loved ones might be provided
for. With many of them life insurance
constitutes the only, or at least the chief,
provision made for their families.
Enlistment even in the hour of the
country's sorest need would forfeit the
policies, and many a brave fellow ready
to risk his life in the country's service
may well hesitate to pay the fearful
price of his family's impoverishment for
that privilege.
"Mixed aad Maddltd. at Opera Hoa To
nlsht. March 2-'.
The Merry Monarchs Co. will present
their laughable comedy success "Mixed
and Muddled" at the opera house to
night, March 22, for one night only.
Some very clever specialties are intro
duced, the principal of which is the re
production of the warship Maine leaving
New York harbor for Havana. A Peoria,
HI., paper commenting on tho perform
ance, says: "The Merry Monarchs Com
edy company played at the opera house
last night to one of the largest audiences
of the season. The comedies presented
by the clever company seem to have
pleased the people immensely, should
the applause be taken as a criterion.
The picture of the war ship Maine leav
ing the New York harbor caused the
greatest enthusiasm, indicating the pat
riotic feeling existing in the hearts of
our people."
