America is a tolerably free country when you think right down to the foun dation of things, and act accordingly. The JocBKAt has had thirty years' ex perience in handling legal notices of all descriptions, and takes this occasion to aay that it is thoroughly equipped for this sort of work. We desire that you remember us when you hare work of this sort to be done. When you do the paying, yon have the right to place the work. Special atten tion given to mail orders. Call on or address, M. K. Turner & Co., Journal Office, Columbus, Nebr. There is now invested in this country $4,000,000,000 in electrical industry. Gen. Russell A. Alger, who is now at Carlsbad, Germany, for his health, is to publish a book in September, which will show up the "army beef scandals." Portions of the country near Crook aton, Minn., are being devastated by grasshoppers. On one farm 60 acres of wheat were swept clean of all vegetation. Charles Stevenson, the lad seriously injured in the wreck of the Gentry Bros, show tents at Grand Island last week, was alive Sunday with a alight chance for recovery. Dr. Towne of Lincoln, the physician for the state board of health, says that fifty out of the 5,000 cases of small-pox in the state the past year proved fatal, being one in every hundred. "It is doubtful if a man's soul is worth saving if he hasn't got the manhood to stand up against temptation and to stand out against corrupting influen ces." Minneapolis Tribune. There is a decided sentiment in this community against indirect licensing of that which is prohibited by law, even though the revenue may be applied to the maintenance of the public schools. Omaha Bee. It is said that in New York City Tues day of last week there were 238 prostra tions by heat, and 148 deaths. It was a hot week all over the country one of the hottest ever experienced in the month of June. Steven Kat, aged 14 years, is dead and seven other boys are dangerously ill at New Haven, W. Va., as a result of drinking wine containing belladonna, which the boys had mixed with the wine, mistaking it for alcohol. T. J. HncoN, near Meadow Grove, Mad ison county, lost six head of horses Monday morning of last week by light ning. A shower had crowded the men from the field and they had just reached the house after putting the horses into the stable, when it was struck. In Bolivar county, Mis&, anthrax in a very virulent form has broken out, caus ing wholesale destruction of mules, horses and swine. They die so fast that they cannot be buried or burned and it is exceedingly difficult to get men to undertake the work. Ninety per cent of stock in the infested district is dead. Nowhere is a newspaper so criticised as in its own office. There are more mistakes than the sagacious public ever finds out. Of the toil which a newspaper demands, of the unceasing attention which it exacts, of the judicious care which it requires, the great public of readers takes no account New York Tribune. State superintendent, W. K. Fowler, says "returns are meager as yet but from all appearances it seems probable that the free, high school attendance law has been defeated in the great sMuority of counties. The law is a good one sad has been defeated in so many of the counties because misunderstood by the voters." A singular accident happened last week to Otto Muller near Elk Creek, Nebraska. A fork handle was used by him to force inward a stopper of a beer bottle. When it gave way, the bottle bant with each force as to cause a piece of the glass to penetrate the left limb, aevering the femoral artery, death result ing before medical aid was secured. Mondat evening we went out to see Mrs. B. F. Marshall grind milk through the cream separator. She milks 17 cows and it took only a little while to separate the cream. The separator cost $125 and we thought that would not pay, but Mrs. Marshall says the separator makes $25 a month. That is, she gets that much more money out of the milk with the separator than she can get by skimming the milk. She sells butter and cream to the amount of $100 every month. Some times more, and sometimes leas, but the 22 cows make $1,200 during the year. York Times. The flowing well at Tekamah is attracting the attention of enterprising men throughout the state, and The Journal would not be surprised to see ' as a reavlt quite a number of new ven tures downward towards earth's center in sasrrh of artesian water, oil and coal, asd perhaps, incidentally something still mora valuable. Not but that there is abmadant wealth on and near the surface of Nebraska aoil, bat there is always an nattmtifirl cariosity, more or less active, after any and every succeaafal search, and development of natural resources whether individual, state or national is a daty we owe to the race next only to that of aatf-ataaei wtion. xsooooooaesoooexxxsooooooaooe J Mst as the democratic leaders were aboat to Make p their minds that they woaU he forced, for waat of a better issae, to fall hack onto free trade for the campaign three years heace, the discouraging word cones from the solid soath that it does aot waat aay more of free trade. This makes the sitaatioa of the issae-haaters worse thaa ever. Ord Qaiz. The determination of Postmaster General Smith to place the postal service on a paying basis will meet the approba tion of citizens generally. There is and there has been for years a great imposi tion on the public by means of that numerous class of more or lees irrespon sible publishers of periodicals who de pend largely upon gift enterprises, guess ing contests or nominal subscription rates for their circulation. It has been a strange matter to us that so many educational) establishments, not with out the aid of some newspapers, have been permitted to send through the mails, enclosed in the so-called news papers nnder the guise of supplements, what are really circulars which should pay postage aa circulars instead o! as newspapers, The government has lost thousands of dollars every year, doubt less, on this class of mail alone. If reports be true, some papers are in the habit, often of sending out more free sample copies than they have regular subscribers on their list a thing not allowed by law, and a fraud upon the government The country at large will heartily sustain the government officials in their endeavors to prevent these and other frauds upon the public, and at the same time rid the country of a lot of irresponsible publishers who are doing what they can to ruin legitimate business.

Columbus has entertained larger crowds than on last Thursday, but, prob ably, the city never before in its history of forty-five years contained a jollier set of people, considering that the rain of the afternoon, which was continuous and abundant, prevented the carrying out of a considerable portion of the program. The parade formed west of Frankfort square in order aa follows: Marshals, police, Columbus band, Governor Savage and party. Mayor Ragatz and city coun cil, G. A. R. group, Co. K, Sons of Veter ans' drum corps, Schuyler fire depart ment with decorations, Columbus fire department float representing the states, float representing John Smith and Pocahontas, W. T. Ernst's wagon ex hibit of pigeons, etc bowery float of beauties, carriages and buggies. After the parade ending at the park, the large crowd were called to order by Mayor Ragatz who presided during the exercises. The medley of national and favorite airs was given by the City Band and very heartily applauded. Rev. G. W. Corey invoked the divine blessing and thanked the Almighty Ruler for the untold bene fits that had been showered upon the nation. Mayor Ragatz, in a brief, but stirring speech, welcomed the large crowd to the enjoyments of the day in the city. Miss Pauline Elias rendered the salient portions of the Declaration of Independence in her usual clear and impressive style. Governor Savage was then presented and entertained the audienoe with an address, partly off-hand and partly writ ten, but filled with thinga good to hear and good to remember in regard to the growth of the country and the state of our national interests. The impression made upon the audience by Gov. Savage was that he is an honest man of excellent good judgment and abundantly capable to adminater the affairs of the state im partially and courageously. Music by the band closed the forenoon exercises. In the afternoon in the hose-team race of 250 yards and to lay 150 yards of hose, Columbus waa 45 seconds, prize $30; Schuyler 48 seconds, prize $20. For the largest number of visiting firemen in parade Schuyler received the prize of $25. In the bicycle race for boys nnder 12, the prizes won went in order to George Plath, Arthur Eaeton and Henry Kohler. Race for boys under 15 to D. E. Newman and Brannigan. For boys nnder 18, E. C Jungblutt The total amount of money raised was $449.25. Amount paid out $413.75. The bicycle parade postponed to this Wednesday evening, will receive prizes, it the conditions justify it The opera house was hired for the free-for-all dance after the rain atruek so hard, and $20 extra waa spent for fireworks, displayed in the evening. The Columbus City Band were in evi dence all day, before and in the parade, at the park, in the Calithumpian jam boree, when each individual played a separate tune of htaown in his own time, at the dance and again in the evening. What indeed, would the Fourth be without a good band! Ostumatky. G. P. Meeks, D.O. N. H. Meeks, D. O. Gentleman's dep't Ladies' dep't Graduates of the American school of Osteopathy.

Anna Krause, aged 13 years, died May 19. Three thousand immigrants arrived at New York from Europe on the 5th. Rev. John Scudder, from New York, located in Creston precinct on the Dal ton premises. Joe Gross went to Milwaukee with his trotting horses "Boston Dave" and "Sassy Cuss." Barbed fence wire was quoted at Chicago at 10c a pound, and by John Wiggins here at lie. Charles Moore and family of Ottawa, DL, arrived in the city May 7, to make Nebraska their home. Col. Charles Matheweon, a resident of Norfolk and a prominent citizen of the state, died at Norfolk May 11. Twenty-four families of Polanders, about 150 persons, arrived hereon the Union Pacific express, June 7. Messrs. Speice, Hudson, M. and John Schram, Gross and Wake organized an encampment I. O. O. F. at Grand Island May 6.

Died, May, 21, of croup, Oscar, son of Paul and Emma Hagel. aged 14 months. May 22, of the same complaint, another chlid, Paul, aged 4 years. On the night of the 5th of May a plot was planned to blow up the Omaha Bee building, but was discovered just in time to prevent the catastrophe. The construction train on the Lincoln & Northwestern railroad reached its des tination Tuesday, May 18, 1880. and the first passenger train into Columbus was the south Platte convention train. Among the final proof notices on home steads were: Johan Zumbrum, Robert Gentleman, Charles Bump, John W. Clark, James T. Free, Herman Behrens, Otto Kallwait and William Knight. The Journal issue of June 8, 1880, has this paragraph: "The Albion branch of the Union Pacific railroad is. very nearly completed to St. Edward, and is expected to reach Albion in two weeks." Nearly every man prominent in state matters, visited Columbus, some time or other. John F. Tiedgen, known as the "cattle king of Madison county," was one of these, returning from a visit to Illinois friends. Geo. Henggler's new residence on Shell creek made a fine appearance, and is one of the handsomest brick resi dences in Platte county. The brick work was done by Mr. Prigge, the carpenter work by Fred. Blasser. While David Mackie was boring a well on Robert Curren's place (Polk county), the auger atruek a brush heap at a depth of 55 feet below the surface. Fragments of limbs and bark and part of a log wore brought up. Osceola News. , Garfield, "the well known Ohio states man, a man of splendid ability, a life long republican and a leader of leaders," was nominated for president by the republicans on the 86th ballot. Gen. Arthur was nominated for vice president. J. P. Maple of Richland precinct pick ed up along the banks of the Platte river a nugget of gold which E. L. Davis found to weigh 1 pennyweight and 2 grains. Probably this lump was dropped by the overland gold hunters in the early daya Schuyler Sun. In those days, as ever since, George S. Trueman interested himself actively in everything that concerned the welfare of the community at large, and sought ont from the government experts the causes and remedies of certain things that were happening to young apple trees in the county. May 0, Ralph, youngest son or M. K. Turner, came near losing his life by drowning in a tub of water; an older sister found him head downward in the water. He was unconscious, his body black, eyes open and with a dead look, and the whole frame limp. The approv ed methods of resuscitation were imme diately resorted to, and the little fellow shortly came back to life and health. We find in the roll of honor Dist No. 13, week ending June 4: Grammar de partment Lillie Smith, Loie McGinitie, Libbie and Maggie Coffey, Myra Wise, Byron Compton and Robbie Saley.

The republican state convention that year for selecting delegates to send to the National convention at Chicago June 3, had 373 delegates, and it was held in the city of Columbus, May 20. Blaine delegates were elected as against Grant delegates by a vote of 246 to 127, but the latter made one of the strongest contests ever put up in the state against such odds. It was probably up to that time the greatest political gathering in the history of the state. The new hotel at Platte Center was moved a little from its foundation during the storm Saturday, June 5. Clark Cooncey reported to The Journal a very lively storm on the old Pawnee reserve. Trees three feet in diameter were blown out by the roots, near the river in sandy ground. The wind mill at the Union Pacific depot here was wrecked; a por tion of the roof over Marshall Smith's brick building was torn off; Jacob Ernst jr., narrowly escaped probable death from falling timber at his father's house. Friday afternoon, May 21, Capt Law son Co. I, Kummer Guards, received a telegram from the Adjutant General, ordering him to get his company in instant readiness for departure to Omaha. Within thirty minutes Capt Lawson, Lieut Early and Sergeants Hines, Lockner, Bower and Routson and forty men were ready. It was near 7 o'clock when the party left by special train for Omaha in company with Gov ernor Nance. Workmen at the Smelting works who had been receiving $1.30 a day, demanded an increase, and failing s9 to receive it, had quit work and were guarding the establishment to prevent others from working. Mutual conces sions were made and the company returned home Monday morning. TIME TABLE, COLUMBUS. NEB. Lincoln, Omaha, Chicago, St. Joseph, Kansas City, St. Louis and all points Bast and South.

UTH IN IDEAL CLIIITE The first white man to set foot on Utah soil, Father Silvestre Velez de Escalante, who reached the GREAT SALT LAKE on the 23rd day of Sept., 177G, wrote in his diary: "Here the climate is so delicious, the air so balmy, that it is a pleasure to breathe by day and by night." The climate of Utah is one of the richest endowments of nature. On the shores of the Great Salt Lake especially and for fifty miles therefrom in every direction the climate of cli mates is found. To enable persons to participate in these scenic and climatic attractions and to reach the famous HEALTH, BATHING AND PLEASURE RESORTS of Utah, the UNION PACI FIC has made a rate to OGDEN and SALT LAKE CITY of one fare for the round trip, plus $2.00, from Missouri River, to be in effect June 18th to 30th inclusive, July 10th to Aug. 31st inclu sive.
