While making up last week's Jour nal, the article concerning Mr. Outer, part of a date fell down, and figures which should have read 1828, were placed 1288.

The contest of pupils of the schools to select one to represent Columbus at Norfolk takes place at the opera house March 10. There are thirteen contest ants; admission, 15 and 25 cents.

The dailies of Monday tell of the finding of the bodies of the Marty family at the fire in Chicago, an account of which was given in last week's Journal.

Liberal con cessions in the way of stopovers and side trips are likely to be made. To allay pains, subdue inflamma tion, heal foul sores and ulcers, the most satisfactory results are obtained by using BALLARD'S SNOW LINI MENT. Price 25 cts. and 50 eta Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock & Co. Mrs. Lew Wallace's protest against the high pressure system of teaching in public schools, published originally in the Ladies' Home Journal, is command ing the almost universal attention which it deserves. Every parent, school officer, teacher and pupil who can appreciate the value of health, will find profit in reading the article. Mr. Blake Maher is getting his name in the Platte county papers, as advocating a straight democratic ticket, and tho Platte County Democrat at Humphrey comes to his defence and says that Mr. Maher probably holds about the same views that it does, viz: opposed to the nomination of the old county gang who would like to hold office for a life time. Petitions are being circulated in Madison and Platte counties praying the county boards to open a road on the county line east of town, which has been closed since the Elkhorn railroad was built into Newman Grove. The petition ers also ask that the railroad company construct and maintain a viaduct over their tracks that cross the line between the counties. Newman Grove Herald. smimwmtm Tiuiiuiuuiuuttiiue; THE residence of C. C. Gray on Q and Sixteenth street is one of the pleasant homes of the city. Mr. Gray built in 1S93, C. J.

He has a few palms he has raised himself, that measure seven feet across, also an Australian tree fern of about the same size. He has some rare palms purchased for himself in Florida. The conservatory is heated with hot water as is all the house, and Mr. Gray has arranged an automatic bell so that when the temperature is falling the bell will warn the household of the fact before it is too late. The room is kept at a temperature of 60 degrees in day time and 80 at night. If your child is cross and peevish, it is no doubt troubled with worms.

Ewing, John Tannahill, II. L. Adams, J. B. Tschudy and E. P. Dussell wont to Osceola Wednesday to attend tho State encampment of the Sons of Veter ans.

Mr. Dussell was appointed surgeon. Superintendent Leavy spent List week visiting schools around Lindsay and St. Edward, and reports them in splendid condition. Mr. Leavy tells us he has engaged Prof. O'Connor of Nor folk as one of the Institute teachers for next summer. Mr. O'Connor has many friends here among the teachers. He has taught here twice before in teachers' institutes. Tho institute will begin this vear about the 15th of June. Tho fast mail from tho west Friday afternoon came very near having a seri ous accident, but as good luck would have it no lives were lost. About two miles west of Silver Creek the fast mail engine became disabled by the breaking of a main rod. When this rod had broken a hole in the boiler and the water ran out the train camo to a stand still. None of the passengers realized their danger until the train stopped then it was all over. When the local pas senger train, which was a few minutes behind tho fast train, camo along, it pushed the disabled train into Silver Creek, and then took the fast train ex cept the -engine to Columbus, then a lo cal freight picked up the engine. It was a very lucky wreck as no one was hurt. Central City Nonpareil. A correspondent to the Telegram, writing from Monroe, makes the declar ation that the populists will not be in favor of fusion next fall unless they have a more equitable division of the offices, and that they think they ought to have the county clerk, besides the sheriff, also that in the person of N. S. Hyatt of Monroe they have a compet ent, suitable and very popular man for the place. Several questions naturally rise in the minds of those outside, among them being: Why so early in suggest ing individuals? Why suggest Hyatt for county clerk, rather than district court clerk, for which he is probably equally as well qualified? Why send such a communication to the democratic organ instead of to the populist organ? And thereby hangs a tail to each ques tion. Fred Stenger lost his pocket-book one day last week containing $45 in bills and some other valuables. A couple of little girls found it and left it with M. K. Turner. He at once posted a notice in the postoffice and Mr. Stenger called Saturday and identified his property. He remembered the little girls and re warded them quite liberally for their honesty. The foregoing from the Colum bus Telegram is true, and on last Friday the writer hereof found a purse, which, from papers inside, seemed to belong to M. A. Twardowski of Duncan. A postal card mailed him brought him in the next day, and he readily proved his ownership of the purse and its valuable contents.' It was noticed lying in the road on Eleventh street, and probably but a short time after it had been dropped. A sad accident occurred Saturday near Hooper. The family of Peter Strnve were loading their household goods in a wagon preparatory to moving. Anna Strnve, a 13-year-old daughter threw a rifle onto the floor, accidentally while moving some other goods, striking the rifle which was leaning against the wall. It was loaded, and the 3-year-old brother of the girl was struck and in stantly killed. Harry Phelps has secured a position under Superintendent Sprecker in the Industrial school at Kearney and will turn the management of the Howells Journal over to S. B. Allen. We con gratulate Harry on being able to land so good an appointment and are glad to note that Colfax county editors are recognized by the powers that be. We also hope that two years hence the re publicans will follow the precedent es tablished by our fusion friends. Leigh World. The Pioneer Hook and Ladder company gave their twenty-fifth annual mask ball Wednesday evening at the opera house. About a hundred wore masks and the dancing continued until 1130 when masks were removed, and the dance continued till about 2 o'clock. Music was furnished by the Columbus orchestra, under the lead of Prof. Gar lich. The occasion was a most decided success every way, notwithstanding the very cold weather. The receipts, after all expenses paid, were $53.95. Teachers' Association. The following is the program of the Platte county teachers' association to be held at Humphrey, Saturday, March 11, 1899.

It is nothing new that in Platte county politics (or office-holding) that there are discordant elements which will not read ily be harmonized. We not only refer to the so-called fusion, or effort at fusion, by the popu lists and democrats, but also to warring factions, especially among democratic seekers after office. It is well enough, it is all right, in truth it is commendable, to be very sure, it is the bounden duty of every voter, to examino closely into the native, real character of every man seeing office, to the end that the public service may not suffer by incapable and self-seeking men, who are no sooner in office than they begin to contrive how they may continue in the same. Whatever happens, let us select good men for each and every one of our county offices. That Field or Wheat. Having been asked a number of times last fall, how many bushels of grain were threshed from a field of wheat which I raised last year on Carl Rhode's farm, three miles northeast of the city, as I had not yet threshed, I could not answer, and now, believing that someone might be benefited by my experience, I here with submit my work and its results. On the 4th of August, 1897, I began plowing the ground, which had just been cleared of barley and oats, the stubble consisting of about two parts barley and one part oats. The soil was very dry and turned up lumpy when we commenced plowing, but a good shower the second day put the soil in good condition for stirring. Finished plowing August 16, having plowed the ground five inches deep, but not deeper than had been formerly plowed. Harrowed the ground thoroughly August 17. Then, the 24th, 31st, and September 6th for the fourth and last time. Used the Hoosier Press drill with eight runners and pure Turkey Red winter wheat, planted east and west, and at right angles from which we plcwed. The field consisted of 28 acres, and we planted 37 bushels of seed. Commenced harvesting same July 4th, 1898. Finished cutting and shocking on the 7th. Commenced stacking July 18th, finished on the 28th, having put the wheat into 15 round stacks, tops secured with skewers. Threshed October 25 and 26. The 28 acres yielded 1208 bushels by weight, and tested 60 lbs. as it came from machine, making a yield of 44 bushels to the acre. J. H. Dbisnix.

District 13 elected Gerhard Schutte as director, and decided to build a school house worth $3,000. Henry Kelly returned April 15, from the Black Hills. He said quartz mining was a grand success. In school district No. 5, Henry Bean was elected director and a 3-mill tax levied for all purposes. Married, Thursday evening, March 28, 1878, by Rev. J. A. Hood, Charles H.

To George Berry was awarded the mail route from Columbus to Norfolk; N.C. Kilborne from Columbus to Albion, and J. W. Dorsey from Columbus to O'Neill City. WTe notice that Thomas Haney of Ellis ville, Wisconsin, was, April 8, 1878, a long-time subscriber to The Journal. His sons still continue to read the paper, going regularly ever since. H. Peiper was in the city for lumber for the new dwelling house of his neigh bor, Mr. Gerhard Ascbe, on Deer creek. Mr. Peiper said that the creek country has a very different look from what it had five years ago. April 24, 1878, Otto, son of Henry and Katrine Leusche, aged six years, was instantly killed, a half mile north of Edwin Ahrens's dwelling, by an accident, the seat on which he was riding, tipping on a side hill, he falling out and the seat striking him in the temple. The city council, under date of April 25, 1878, passed a resolution requiring the planting of elm, ash, maple or box elder trees, not less than six feet high, along certain lots named in a closely printed list of half a column in The Journal, to be planted and suitably protected within ten days. An ordinance to establish a public library and reading room was passed by the city council and published according to law in The Journal of February 13, 1878, and in effect "from and after its passage and publication." It had some very excellent provisions, but we do not remember of anything done in pursuance of it. What ever became of it? Among selections, we find a very apt illustration of a subject that has puzzled heads to compass: "But, Paul, how can the Spirit be in ns and we in the Spirit at the same time," said a young man to a venerable darkey. "Oh, dar's no puz zle 'bout dat. It's like dat poker; I puts it in do fire and it gets red hot. Now de poker's in de fire, and do fire's in de poker." A paragraph called attention to the fact that "Nebr." should be universally used as the abbreviation of our state in stead of "Neb.", because the final letter in this is so often made low and is mis taken for "v," thus sending mail matter to Nevada, as was done with a letter of advice for a P. O. money order of $25, delaying the payment of the order for two weeks. At the Fifth grand tournament and masquerade ball of Pioneer Hook & Lad der Co.

Baker, L. F. Ellis, G. W. Phillips, D. N. Miner, H. Oehlrich, J. Henggler, J. Gregorius, John Schram. New York City business men were putting on airs, and the Chicago Tribune came back at them with this story about forcing trade: An organization of mer chants in Georgia wrote to a Connecticut comb manufacturer, threatening him with the withdrawal of their trade if he did not espouse the cause of the South. He replied that he was selling his combs, not his politics, and if the south didn't want his combs, the south could go lousy.

Evorything kept in tho best of order; garden fenced and filled with apple, plum and cherry trees, currant bushes and vegetables weeds had no chance. Jacob Ernst told the editor that he regarded Mr. Matthis as the best corn raiser in the county, and his success was in the fact that he did his work well and completely.
