Most certain ly, just now, is a good time to invest. For sidewalks, cinders are to the common people what the Sherman gravel is to the railroad company. An Omaha man claims that the cinder walk is much more economical than wood easier and cheaper to repair; and on the part of the city less liable to payment of damages.

The physicians ad vised his removal here so the two arrived in Columbus last Friday evening. The invalid is at the home of Mrs. J. P. Becker. August Boettcher, having passed another mile stone in his life journey Friday last, was thinking his friends might play some trick or surprise on him, but his friends were also thinking and put off their doings until Saturday night, when about thirty gentlemen and ladies did really and truly surprise August and wife. A very pleasant even ing was spent in music, after which re freshments were served. Flf?EJFIREF AN ACCOUNT of the recent lire in oof store, which smoked the greater U part of our stock, we have decided to close out everything cleftnv We will not put a dollar's worth of the old stock into the new store, when it is repaired and ready for use. We had just received our new Spring stock of ready-made Suits, Skirts, Jackets, Wrappers, Hosiery, Muslin Underwear, Dress Goods, Per cales, Laces, Allovers, Linings, Trimmings, Table Linen, Towels, Handker chiefs, Ribbons, Gloves, Muslin, Prints and in fact, all the new things in our line. We had a very large assortment of the best to be found. Some were burned up, others smoked and soiled, but thousands of dollars' worth were in boxes, or covered up and were not touched by either fire or water, yet the reputation of fine goods is damaged by being in a store that has burned out, and all must be sold at any price it will bring, every article in the store will be sacrificed. We cant quote prices, because of the different conditions the goods are in, but you will find everything is a bargain. Come before the sizes are broken, and get your pick. Of course, readers of The Journal will be sure to read the advertisement of J. H. Galley. This store on Eleventh street has been for years noted for carry ing good goods at fair prices; courteous treatment of customers, and absolute truthfulness as to the quality of goods for sale. These are a few of the prom inent reasons why they do such a large business, and retain their customers. They do business on the principle of mutual benefit. 'Mrs. Theodocia Hussey of Minneso ta, Mrs. Mary DeBusha of Colorado, Mrs. Julia Scott of Minnesota, are in attendance at the funeral of their par ents, Mr. and Mrs. McFarland. These, and the two older children Mariah Ell dridge of Penna., and John McFarland of Mich., besides Samuel and George, survive the death of their parents. The bodies are to be placed in one grave, and his comrades of Baker Post will at tend the funeral in a body. Are you sick? If so, investigate the merits of HEBBINE. It is a concen trated medicine, the dose is small, yet it quickly produces the most gratifying results, digestion improves, the lips and cheeks lose their pallor, the eye becomes bright and the step elastic Price 50 cents. A. Heintz and Pollock & Co. C. K. Davies begins this Tuesday to erect a good-sized barn on his farm northwest of the city a mile and a half. He is putting himself in shape for busi ness on the place. Columbus is to have a near-by stock farm where can be had the very best of hogs and cattle, at fair, living prices. No need to travel far for what you want This season he will also set out an orchard, and fence a good field for pasture. If you are in need of breeding animals call on or address Mr. Davies. C. E. Chapin of Oconee, was in town Saturday and made this office a busi ness call. He passed part of his time last summer in raising seed for the Wes tern Seed and Irrigation company at Waterloo, Neb., and says that the in dustry is certainly one that pays well on Platte valley soil with favoring condi tions. The following is a very brief summary of what was done last season: Watermelon seed, 300 pounds to the acre; squash, 200, muskmelon 900. Sweet corn. 25 bushels to the acre. 13th Street. F. H. LAMB & CO. COLUMBUS. AGED COUPLE KILLED. The fusion forces met in mass con vention last Friday evening, B. P. Duffy presiding, Dennis O'Brien, secretary. The ticket nominated was: Louis Held, mayor, Wm. Becker, clerk'; Charles Stillman, treasurer; R L. Bossiter, en gineer; Jacob Greisen, Geo. Lehman and P. J. Hart, councilman in the First, Sec ond and Third wards, respectively. Henry Lubker, member of school board. Central committee, Qua. Speice, at large; Aug. Boettcher, G. W. Phillips snd 0. F. Gleason for the three wards res pectively. We give elsewhere the full ticket as nominated by the republicans at their delegated convention Saturday. E. C. Hockenberger presided and George Fairchild was secretary. The tioket throughout is an excellent one. As to member of school board, the present incumbent, Henry Hockenberger, was named, who, with Henry Lubker, nom inated by the other party, will doubtless be elected there are two to be chosen. W. M. Cornelius, E. P. Dussell and W. '''-'tiir-i i ? a. uiuauusier were cuuseu aa committee men for the several wards respectively, and C. C. Gray committeeman at large. There were quite a number of dem ocrats at the republican city convention, who, while they said nothing out loud, seemed inwardly to really enjoy the occasion. Captain Hockenberger waa perfectly fair as presiding officer; every man who spoke to issues before the con vention was allowed perfect freedom in the expression both of his feelings and his opinions; a ticket composed of men of experience, talent and tact waa nomi nated, and why shouldn't the visiting democracy have been well pleased at the prospect of having auch good men to look after the interests of the city during the coming term? The program for the County Teach ers' association has been issued by L. H. Leavy. The session is to be at Hum phrey, April 13, beginning at 1 p. m.

Saturday laat, on the arrival of the passenger train from Albion at the depot here, the community waa shocked by the news that just a few minutes before, Mr. nnil Wn .TnaiaK HlMi'nrlanr) hail inatanf. I ly lost their lives, being struck dead and most fearfully mangled, at the third crossing west of the Fish pond, on the Union Pacific branch just beyond the city limits. The public wagon road at this point runs north and south, and makes with the railroad track an angle of about forty-five degrees. Besides the fireman and the aged couple in their buggy, there were two little children of Mr. Stabb who saw the accident at close range George McFarland, son of the sged couple, from his farm, seeing the train, the buggy, the cloud of dust and the stopping of the train, was nearly beside himself with apprehension ss to what had happened. The train was stopped at a little east of the next crossing, the bodies taken from the engine's pilot where they were lying side by side, placed in the baggage car, and from there taken in charge by Mr. Gass, the undertaker, and prepared for burial at bis establishment. The buggy was torn to pieces, and was disengaged from the staid old horse, that immediately started back for home, and was met a abort distance from the wreck by George MoFarland. Coroner Metz drove down from Hum phrey Sunday morning, summoned a jury consisting of Ed. Bossiter, August Dietrichs, Fred. Curtis, J. E. Kaufmann, Horace Ward and Ed. Hoare, who met at the court house, and heard testimony. George R McFarland testified, (besides as related above) that he found on the body of his mother, a watch that had stopped at 1:15. He thought the train was a little late, but was not sure of that. Both father and mother were hard of hearing. Engineer F. R Wambaugh, mainly in answer to questions, stated that the engineer's place is at the right side of the cab. There were no trees to obstruct the view. The train left Oconee square on time and they were running on time. It waa very near to the crossing before he knew anything of the buggy, the fireman, on the left aide of the cab cal ling his attention, the fireman being the only one who could see the buggy. Two long and two abort whistles were given, and the sand used, but were too near the crossing to prevent the accident. The east-bound train can from this point be seen at least four miles, half way to Oconee. Fireman William Moran testified aa to the usual aignals given at both the cross ings; to seeing the buggy and its occu panta from his place in the cab of the engine; to calling the attention of the engineer to his own impression that the folks were going to keep on the north side of the railroad; to Mr. McFarland'a pulling on the lines and striking the horse with them, which did not change his gait; to the engine striking between the wheels of the buggy, the man and woman alightly turning to look at the engine. Conductor Hugh Compton knew that something waa wrong when the alarms were given and the train stopped. He saw both bodies as they lay on the pilot with some parte of the buggy. The train waa running on time at the usual rate of speed. In answer to a question by George McFarland, as to how long it took to stop the train when running at its usual rate of speed, he said about the distance of five or six telegraph poles, and he guessed they were about ninety feet apart. The train stopped right on the next crossing. The engineer, being recalled, said that thirty miles an hour, is forty-four feet in a second; he judged that the two cross ings were eighty to one hundred yards apart. There were four cars in the train. They stopped in less than a quarter of a mile. Brakeman A. E. McKenna didn't know much about the accident. The train was running at the usual rate; he knew by the whistles that something was wrong, and saw the horse running away from the train. After viewing the bodies in the upper room of Undertaker Gass' establishment, the jury returned to the court house and rendered a verdict in substance that the "death was accidental, and not due to any negligence on the part of the train crew. - Josiah M.

Aa The Journal goes to press, 2 o'clock, Tuesday, funeral services are being held at the Baptist church, south east corner of Sixteenth and North streets, Bev. Fierce officiating. We could readily believe that neither Mr. nor Mrs. McFarland had an enemy on earth. Their affection for each other and for their friends was singularly strong. On this side the seemingly very thin veil which separates the visible from the invisible, their last minutes on tfc earth war together and the proba bility is that death came so quickly that they were not conscious of its usual accompaniments of pain, anguish and despair. J. C. Flaxel, who lives between this and Bellwood, was in the city Friday, calling at Journal headquarters. Speak ing of the difference in yield of spring and winter wheat in his neighborhood, he says that George Allen last year threshed forty bushels to the acre of winter wheat, while he got but twenty two of spring wheat; Henry Whitney got forty-two bushels to the acre of winter wheat. One farmer last yesr had fonr thousand bushels of wheat. It is little wonder that with such crops, the kind of land that produces then sella readily for Ifty doUara aa acre.
