Iosco is Tery sick at his home south of the river. His sickness is a combination of troubles. The Cecilian club and some of their friends are having a picnic party this Tuesday, afternoon and evening. E. J.

Ton may walk the town over, and hunt, and hunt, but until you visit J. C. Fillman's millinery store you will miss the values that you can depend upon there in fall hats. It James Jnckee, manager for the im. ... JallOlUn Company, is contracting hay, grain, eta, just as they did last year. Farmers are calculating on cutting everything in the grass line. Mrs. J. D.

Headbloom of Stroms burg has been nominated as the repub lican candidate lof state senator for the Eighteenth district. He is a young man, raised in Polk county. The Cecilian club will meet with Miss Becker next Monday evening. At their last regular meeting Miss Lora Becher was elected president and Miss Ethel Galley musical director. Friday last was Columbus' first show in ten years, and some of our peo ple lost sums of money, from $1, up to as high as $100, so rumors go, one man gambling away the proceeds of three loads of hogs. Miss Flora Compton, who is claimed as a Columbus girl, is another young lady to be proud of. She is now super intendent of the hospital where she learned her profession as nurse, in Gales burg, Illinois. G. R. Williams, brother to our townsman, T. H.. and who is one of the republican party's state nominees, was a Columbus -visitor Saturday. He is an honest, good strong man, every way, and deserves election. Ballard's Snow Liniment. There ia no pain it will not relieve; no swelling it will not subdue, no wound it will not heal. It will cure frost bites, chilblains, and corns. Dr. A. Helntx and Pollock fc Co. William Iosco, a well-known old .resident of .this county (father of. R. Y. Lisco) was in the city the other day. It seems that he has been here several months. He had been living in Califor nia the past two years. F. E. Schaaf, having been charged with using, as his own composing, an oration written by Mr. Bixby, he denies saying that the production was given him to be used at an alumni banquet, but he did not use it.

Petters, owners of the auchine which started to thresh his grain, for damage by fire caused by sparks from the engine. In justice Fuller's court he recovered judgment for the full value of the stacks burned. Byron and James Skinner of Coffee ville, Kan., were in the city last week visiting old friends of pioneer days. These gentlemen were residents of Col fax county (now part of Platte) in the early days, coming here in '56. They were pleased to meet many of their old acquaintances. As W. R. Hoffman of Norfolk was dosing up his furniture store the other night, one of his big lamps became dis engaged and fell to the floor, smashing the lamp and igniting the oil. The dam age caused was $600, covered by insur ance, but Mr. Hoffman declares that he is done with kerosene lamps. John L. Wright, representing the Brinson-Judd Grain Co. of St, Louis, was in the city over Sunday. He ex pects to cover a good portion of the grain4roducing territory of Nebraska before returning. Judging by what he has seen of the corn crop so far, he is of the opinion that it will average a strong half crop. If your chila has thin, pale cheeks, uncertain appetite and unrestful sleep, it has worms, and curing with strong medicines only makes conditions worse, by irritating its delicate stom ach. White's Cream Vermifuge is mild but certain in effect, and is a superior tonic as well as a prositive worm de stroyer. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock Co. Frank Novotny, of Adams precinct, has a number of pear trees in bearing for the first time. He also has a fine lot of German prunes. It becomes more thoroughly demonstrated every year that Nebraska is a fruit producing coun try. An orcherd properly cared for is one of the best investments that a farmer can possibly make. Schuyler Quill. The city school board gave the children a holiday Friday for two good reasons. First it was clearly evident very few children would come to school and secondly every one of the members of the board had been boys once and knew how hard it was for them to go to school when there was a circus in town. And there may have been other reasons. All lovers of music are invited to at tend a free song recital at the Baptist church next Monday evening, given by Prof. Trimmer and Prof. Blomquest of Chicago. Prof. Trimmer expects to drill a chorus for a cantata Immanuel and wishes to meet all the musicians of the city. The Ladies musical, the Mandolin club and others are taking an active interest in the matter. Gentle men especially invited. Ghordis Stull of Marengo, Illinois, was in the city Friday, and called at Journal headquarters. He is interest ed in several lines of business in his city, but still retains his Nebraska land, which he comes to see occasionally. He had been to the Exposition at Oma ha, and says that while it of course is not so great as the Chicago show, it is still a wonderful exhibit, and does great credit to Nebraska and the great Trans Miasissippi region. A. Duseell & Son have quite a force of men at work on Fifteenth street digging ditches tor the extension of waterworks pipes to connect with the new dwelling hoase of Henry Hocken berger and the school building. Many workmen will soon be employed on the Jast. named structure, and it is confi dently expected that within two months all the outside work will have been completed. David Redpath of Marengo, Illinois, was in the city Monday, and gave us a very sleasant calL Long years ago he was a resident of Polk county, a reader .of The Jockjal, and a frequent visitor to the city on business. We don't see that he is changed since then, except that his hair is gray, and he has a more matured look. He still retains hk large tract of valuable land in Polk county. He' tells us that in his neighborhood,' some sixty-six miles west of Chicago, land sella for from $10 to 960 an acre. Rev. Mickel held a kind of jubilee service Sunday morning and evening, celebrating with his last Sunday before conference, .the release of mortgages on the parsonage. - Since Rev. Mickel came to the church two years ago, the cong regation has paid off all their indebted ness except a small amount 4m the church property, hesides the minister's salary, leaving the chareh in better con dition than it has been for many years. The old aotea, contracts, etc were planed on a tin tray aad baraed as a fit ting end to the burden on the chareh. There will be no chareh services next Saaday, all other services at the aaaal hoar.

Will Craig of Cadiz, Ohio, visited rela tives here last week on his way home from Leadville, Colo., where he has been the past fifteen months. J. N. Heater returned Thursday on a visit home. Mrs. Leach of Wis., sister-in-law of Mr. Heater, is here on a short visit while Mr. Heater is home. Mrs. Y. A. Macken and daughter Mamie returned Wednesday last after a month's visit at Omaha with friends and taking in the sights at the Exposition. Miss Anna Geitzen, after a pleasant visit of two weekB with Central City friends, returned to her home at Colum bus Sunday. Central City Nonpareil. Mrs. Mae Smith of Inman, Neb., ar rived in the city Sunday evening, stay ing with her Uncle, J. H Galley's family over Sunday, starting for home Monday morning. She had been at Omaha. In a list of the teachers for Colfax county the Supt has made out for the coming year, Miss Clark and L. B. Ma rohn are mentioned from Columbus for districts No. 5 and 6, respectively. J. K. Lay and wife of Rock county are visiting with their son W. K. Lay of this city. On account of advancing age they have rented the farm and will hereafter live with other sous at Buf falo, N. Y. Mrs. Parker and daughter Miss Myrtle came down Monday to visit Mrs. Judge Sullivan. Miss Myrtle left this morn ing for Omaha and will go on Friday to Folsom, S. D., where she will teach school the coming year. Mrs. C. G. Hickok has been enjoying a visit from her cousins, Mrs. N. P. Johnson of the Sisseton Agency, South Dakota, accompanied by her daughter Margaret and Miss Kate M. Wheat from the Treasury department at Wash ington, D. C, both leaving for home this Tuesday, going by way of the ex position. Mrs. A. Luth returned Tuesday morn ing of last week from her six months' sojourn in California, with her daught ers, Mrs. Poison and Mrs. Hurd of La connor, Washington, and Mrs. Haver croft Place rrille, California. At the latter named place they have had no rain since the last of February. Mrs. Luth says that the Pacific country is excellent for fruit where they have plenty of water, which they have in Washington. A rear end collisaion took place at Alda, eight miles west of Grand Island, early last Tuesday morning, the third section of Union Pacific freight No. 18 running into the second section. En gineer Roddy was severely injured. His leg was amputated that afternoon. Six cars and a caboose were badly piled up. Roddy was caught between the en gine and tender just as he was about to jump. One farmer in Folk county tells us of one of his neighbors losing $5, anoth er $10, and another the cash proceeds of three loads of hogs at the games allowed on the show grounds here Friday. If every neighborhood around is like that one, those gambling outfits took more money out of town than Wallace did. And it is pretty safe to add that few of such people take the local newspapers and read about the frauds that are per petrated upon the unwary. ' The fire bell on Eleventh street was manufactured in Troy, N. Y., in 1864, especially for the Columbus fire depart ment, and weighs 1100 pounds, 300 more than the north-side bell, now in place in its tower on the south line of Frankfort square. The new. steel tower is to be placed near the new hose house on .North street, east aide, opposite Hughs' lumber yard, and the tower is to be similar to the one on the square, though heavier. Judge McAllister of Gotambus, re publican candidate for district judge, was in the city Saturday '""g hands with his friends, and looking over the aitaation in Merrick coanty. The judge considers the outlook for his election to be. quite hopeful, regardless of the fact that he has a huge foaion majority in this district to overcome. Daring his brief call' at this oSce he impressed aa as being 'a perfect gentleman, and aach indeed is the reputation he has ac quired during -his long raaidouoo in ty.-Oaatral City NoaaariaL -" .v.a, .x "frf-.aj r r.raaai " " kjw-a. i i .mmMjgmm MfinS -- TiiRaBneafc3sBwJaE Mat Bates.

't Ed Farmer of Albion, Nebu,is prin cipal of a school in the country about eighteen miles from -the city. He is a graduate of the university of Neb., and principal of the Third ward schools in Columbus, some years ago.

Saaday morning at the dock, who ahaaki coaae to see me but E. J. Baker, an"csld"fnBr Columbus business man! He told me that George Turner (Abner's brotherjwas also here with him, besides four or five others had been looking around over the 'island for a location, but had not decided on any as yet. I eat supper with Mr. Baker that evening, and we had a very pleasant visit to gether. His home is now in Los An geles, CaL He is in good health, looks fine, and is much fleshier than when in Columbus. t Tuesday at 10 o'clock all the soldiers on board the Arizona, 1300 in all, were formed in line, and marched up town to the Palace ground's, where the ladies of the city gave us a banquet, which was very fine, and when we were through eating there was enough left to feed twice as many more, and the boys were thankful for the meal. The government band gave a concert which was appreci ated very much; the band has about 35 members, all natives, and they rendered some very fine selections. We remained on the grounds until 5 o'clock, then marched back to the boat, and waited until about sundown, when all marched out to Camp McEinley, about four miles from town. It is located on Lsi mond Point, a high mountain, at one time a volcano, but now extinct The country around Honolulu is mountainous, and there is some beauti ful scenery. Our camp is located close to the ocean, and the surface of the water is alive with men in swimming in the evening. Plenty of fruit but since the soldiers arrived, the dealers have raised the price. Before, bananas sold at 25 cents a bunch, but now they are 4 for 5 cents. It gets pretty warm here during the day, but we get the mountain and sea breezes during the night and it is cool and nice. We signed the pay roll yesterday, and I won't mail this until I can send some money with it. We are lying here, waiting orders. Some think we will not go any farther, and others that we will go to Manila, but you cannot tell from one day to an other what is going to happen in the army. The government transport Scandia arrived today from Frisco, bringing mail, a company of New Yorkers with a good band, a corps of Red Cross people, and last, but not the least by any means, $1,000,000 to pay the soldier boys. They bring the news that our transport the Arizona, will go on to Manila, leaving us here, and on her return will take us back to' the states to be mustered out, and there is a terrible lot of dissatisfac tion in camp, as most all (a few excep tions) want to go on and join their re spective companies in Manila. Our trip on the Arizona was a very pleasant one, plenty of room. Outfitted for 1800, there were only 1300 of us, and we were very comfortably situated. The paymaster does not seem to show up, so will start this ietter on its journey to the states. Love to all. Frank. Sept C This is Tuesday, and the program now is that we will stay here three months, and join our companies here on their return home, and the regi ment be mustered out at Lincoln. Nothing sure, though, in army affairs. (It is current rumor here that the Re cruits had left Honolulu and were due at Manila Saturday last Ed Joubnal. At Manila. Cahp Dewet, Aug. 9, 1898. Dear Folks at Hoke: We now have a chance to write home twice a week. Since we had our last engagement we have laid in camp. There has been no excitement to speak of. Some of the other regiments have been out, but have not fired a shot from our side. There has been some firing from the other side. The Nebraska regiment is going out again tomorrow, and I wouldn't be sur prised if we had a scrap. We expect to see the other expedition in today or tomorrow. My friend Head, I think, will pull through all right They cut him open, took out hisentriais, and found out that the ball had passed through without rat ing any of them. We are living in dog tents two in a tent our beds elevated from the ground two feet by a bamboo bed, for which we paid a Mexican dollar. The natives charge us two prices for everything.
