"I had the darndest luck while out
dnck hunting recently," remarked Max
Elian the other evening. "I was up in
the sand hills and I worked till I nearly
fell over getting a good blind built and
setting out decoys. By the time I got
through the heavens in the east began
to lighten up and I could see ducks aad
geese by the hundreds flying in great
droves. I had everything fixed handy,
and my gun was all right and I waited.
It was not long until a bunch of geese
came in sight. The geese began slowing
up and acted as though they were pre
paring to settle. I rose up, poked my
breechloader through the blind, but be
fore I pulled the trigger an accident
occurred." "What was the matter?"
asked a listener. "A blamed bed-slat
broke and woke me up." -
The little city of Silver Creek, has for

of small pox which ass greatly de

says: The health of board is satisfied
with the situation and has raised the
quarantine on every family in Silver
Creek. There are no oases of small-pox

From what the Journal can hear on

Aa over-bashful young man of Colum
bus proposed to his girl by sending her

The girl was greatly surprised and not
displeased, at playing the instrument,
to hear her lover's declaration, but this
idea of a betrothal did not greatly ap
peal to hear. Accordingly she sent her
little brother with a note which read:
''Dear Sir If you have courage enough,
you might come over and tell me what
you have to say, but if you haven't,
stay at home, for 111 be jiggered if I am
going to be bugged and kissed by a
phonograph if I never get a chance to
say YesM"
John Krunsinsky, stock feeder on
Beisch Bros, ranch, near Bichland, re
ports a thrilling experience on the night
of the flood which resulted with such
disaster in Columbus three weeks ago.
At 9:30 in the evening he says he loaded
two carloads of hogs from the feed lots,
and there was not a drop of water in
sight. An hour later he went down to
feed lots, the water was three feet deep
at the front gate, and rapidly rising. He
knew that a large number of the cattle
aad hogs would certsialy be drowned if
left to drift for themselves and im
mediately got busy and drove them to
higher ground. As a result only three
hogs, out of three hundred fifty head of
live stock in the lot, were drowned,
but when John himself started to leave
he found himself surrounded by water.
He was rescued by Wm. Gondring in a
boat, taken to the Gondring home, aad
itwasfourdaya before he could get
away. But they must have been pleas
ant days, for John declares that Mr.

O. L. Maker wanted $7,000 from the
United States government for his
grounds for the post office site. Mr.
Hugh Hughes asked but $6,000. Rich
ard Fourchy, the supervising architect,
looked at both and reported in favor of
excepting Mr. Hughes' offer. The
United States secretary of the treasury
agreed with him. Then there was an
appeal made the new building should
f see the park. So the treasury depart
ment wanted to know if the lot of the
Congregational church was on could be
bad at reasonable sum. Mr. Baker was"
not asked to make a second bid, and
when tire treasury department learned
that the southeast corner of Olive and
Fourteenth streets was not in the mar
et, the original location prevailed, and
Mr. Hughes is now getting up his ab
stract. At 4:30 last Saturday afternoon the
Nebraska Telephone company cut over
from the old system, which has been
in use ever since the telephone was in
stalled in Columbus, to the new central
energy system, which they have been in
stalling during the last fall and winter.
It required but tea minutes to make the
change, including the removing of the
central from the north building to the
new German National Bank building,
and many subscribers were not aware
that it had made untiU they were re
quested by central to give the number
on the new directory: Only two eases
of trouble resulted from the change,
and this is regaaded aa exceptional.
Manager Holliday is now established in
the new quarters and Columbus hasaa
up-to-date telephone system asthere is
in the state. Whan the operators be
come more familiar with the aew board
the service will improve rapidly and the
state chief operator has bean here ghr

I. J.
Jeweler
and -Optician,
One evening last week, two of our
promising young ladies were induced to
lay aside their female attire and don
that of a male with the fondest hopes of
having a "jolly time as they termed it.
We learn it was a big time for them
while strolling the streets, in the jdea
that their friends were entirely at sea as
to the identity of the supposed two
strangers. They were all fitted up hi
the "Cholly Boy" style, and the fit of the
garments showed that the tailor who
made the clothes wss on to his job.
After calling on several friends they were
hustling back home, when very unex
pectedly the girl-boys were recognized
by some parties who, when the maskers
fled, gave chase and followed the girls
clear to the door of the house where
they had prepared themselves for a jolly
night. Tnen in the morning came the
aftermath. The incident was on the
tongues of many in town, end wben the
two were informed that the joke had
turned into something serious, the girls
began to regret their foolish escapade.
The result finally ended that one of them
was dismissed from duty and the other
is retained through a matter of pro
bation. The town of Bichland, about eight
miles east of Columbus, is soon to have
a new and premanent bank building, the
plans being about completed. The loca
tion of the building, we understand, is
yet to be decided. The Bichland State
bank is a comparatively new institution,
having commenced business only about
three months sgo, but it is forging right
ahead as can be seen by statements now
being sent out. The banking business
at Bichland is now being conducted in
a small frame addition to one of the
stores at that place, but in a very short
time, some time during the spring, it
will be carried on in the new building,
which will be a credit to the town and
the people who are to put it up.
On Friday March 29, at the Branigan
sale barn will occur another horse sale.
As before Tom will have a bunch of
horses to offer that cant be beat, and
horse buyers from the most important
markets in the esat will be on hand to
buy animals fit to ship. This sale will
be the largest yet held as Mr. Branigan
states that he is preparing to handle a
bunch of horses which will far excell in
number any previous bunch. Take
this day off, come to Columbus and see
what a great horse market the Branigan
boys have built up.
Dr. W. H. Sears will give a lecture at
the high school gym. Thursday evening
March 14 his subject being, "More taffy
and less epitaphy." This will be the last
number of the high school lecture course
and judging from Dr. Sears reputation
will undoubtedly be the best.
The Telephone boys are tearing down
the old wires which used to form tbe
old system. Had they removed the
poles from the front streets and placed
them in the alleys before lining up the
new cable system our city would present
a much better appearance.
Joseph Stovicek, operated on at the
hospital hut week for a rupture, is get
ting along nieely, and will probably be
able to'leave that institution the present
week. .-

having rented the Cover building, one

now getting ready for business. The
paintetjtand paper, hangers have been

and goods will commence to arrive this
week. Mr. Landon has been engaged in
business in the metropolis for sometime,
but upon investigation decided there
was a promising opening in Columbus.
The prosperity of a town is not guard
ed by the wealth of its inhabitants, but
the uniformity with which they pull
together when any important undertak
ing is to be acted upon. A man with a
thousand dollars or lese at his command
and a love for hie town does more for
the upbuildingof it than the millionaire
who locks up his capital and snaps his
fingers at home progress, if it is not
accomplished according to his ideas.
Now is the time to loosen up a bit if you
haven't, by planting a donation to the
credit of the Y. M. C. A. fund. The
building will forever stand as an orna
ment to your gift, and the coming gener
ation will receive the great benefit de
rived from such an institution.
A special meeting of the Commercial
club was held at the council chamber
Monday evening, one of the important
matters being the report of G. B. Speice
on his trip to New York in tbe interest
of the power canal Mr. Speice said
that Messrs. Babcock and Jaeggi report
ed that it was their opinion that the con
tract for the financing of the canal
would be made at an early date. The
committee appointed to obtain a survey
and approximate cost of a ditch to drain
the road south of the Platte bridge, re
ported that the estimated cost would be
in the neighborhood of from $200 to $250.
The committee that waa looking after
the riprappingof the Loup to prevent it
cutting into Barnum creek, succeeded in
having the board of supervisors pass the
following resolution, which was present
ed by Supervisor Newman: Whereas,
the Loup river has for several years past
and is still cutting away the south bank
for a half mile of tmSre above the wagon
bridge and is now threatening to force
its channel into and through Barnum
creek, and will soon force a channel in
that direction if not prevented, therefor
be it Resolved, by the board of supervis
ors that a special-committee be and
are hereby appointed by this board, witb
full oower to aet, to take such imme
diate steps as shall temporarily stop any
farther ravages of said stream from any
further encroachments in the direction
above specified, and be it further resolv
ed, that said committee so appointed be
riifWAtml to investigate into the proposi
tion looking to the permanent change of
this channel of the river to tne norm
le of the small island located at this
point, and to this end be prepared to
submit at the next meeting oi tne Doara
the- different plans proposed for that
purpose together with the cost of the
work under each plan submitted. It
was suggested that a banquet be held in
connection with the annual election of
officers, and a committee cossistiBg of E.
J. Niewohner, Edgar Howard and Gas
G. Becker, jr., were appointed as a gen
eral committee.

List Saturday we were shown a sam
ple of spring wheat called Fingal, Bed
Chaff White; it was Irish grown, on the
place formerly owned by our fellow citi
zen, Joha Macken, and imported by him
from Dublin. The berry is large and
plump, easily reduced to flour, which is
said to be excellent. Mr. Macken receiv
ed but a peck, and intends to see what
can be done with it here. There is noth
ing like experiment to test the value of
our soil.

The number of former subscribers of
the Journal who have added their names
to the list since the present management
has had charge is very gratifying, as it
has been our aim to place the paper on
the same high plane it formerly occupied.
The work of placing tbe temporary rip
rap hi tbe Loup river to prevent it cut
ting into Barnum creek, was commenced
this week, under the direction of Super
visor Newman, and barring any bad
weather will be completed in the near
fatura. So far the temporary work
has been very satisfactary aad indicates
that when the regular rip rap is placed,
the channel will be diverted.
