Files of The Journal, November 4, 1874.
The last few days we have been en
joying as fine weather in this part of the
"Great Auierican Desert' as any man
could reasonably ak for.
We have seen the trumpet purchased
for whichever company of the Colum
bus Ore department shall happen to be
most successful at the election shortly
to be held, and we can pronounce it,
"without fear of successful contradic
tion,' to be a tbibg of beauty?
The Omaha Sportsmen's club, on the
autumn hunt, brought in a nice lot of
(fame, which counted up in all six hun
dred and three. The game has been sold
at public auction, and the proceeds will
be given to the National Aid Society.
The hunter, as usual, is generous to a
fault. Who among us would give our
last chicken?
We are infermed that Mr. J. B. Beebe,
residing near St. Paul, is engaged in the
lime business, a very good quality of
that desirable article having been found
in that country. We would not be sur
prised to hear of good quarries of build
ing stone being opened there before long.
If we could only secure navigation of
the Loup river, it would be one more
good point for the welfare of Columbus.
We are informed that Wm. Burgess,
Indian agent for the Pawnees, has been
appointed by the Department of the In
terior, a special agent to proceed to the
Indian Territory and locate the new
agency for the Pawnees. So soon as the
Pawnees arrive at their new home a
sub-agency will be established. The old
agency here contained 288,000 acres of
good land, and the new agency will con
tain only about 24,000.
The marriage of Mum Edith Lillian
.Robbios to Warren F. Day was quietly
celebrated Saturday at 12 o'clock at the
home of the bride's sister, Miss Ida Bob
bins. 1931 B street. The marriage ser
vice was impressively read by the Rev.
Lewis Gregory and included the double
ring ceremony. At the appointed hour
Miss Alice Towne played the Lohengrin
bridal chorus which announced the ap
proach of the bridal party. The brides
maids Miss Zola Dellecker of Omaha,
Miss Ena Bracb, of Hastings, Miss Claire
Dovey, of Plattsmouth and Miss Martha
Pot of Columbus led the way. They
were followed by the maid of honor,
Miss Helen Day, sister of the groom.
The bride entered with her brother, C.
B. Robbins of Ced?r Rapids, Iowa, who
gave hr away and was preceded by her
neice, Vera Anderson of Genoa, who
carried the wedding rings. Only rela
tives and close friends were included in
the guest list. A wedding breakfast
followed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs.
Day left in the evening for their home in
Richfield, Idaho, where tbey will be at
home to friends after December 1. The
above is taken from the Lincoln Daily
Star. The bride, who frequently visited
in this city has made many friends, who
wish her much success and happiness in
her new home.
In a letter just received by P. J. Mc
Caffrey from Charles Hudson, who left
here a short lime ago for Wilkeeon,
Washington, relates a thrilling adventure
that recently happened to Mr. Hudson,
and we tell it in his language: "About
two weeks ago we went out hunting, and
of all the rough countries and timber so
thick that it is dark at noon, and I got
lost for two days and very nearly perish
ed with cold, but the good Lord must
have sent me the help I prayed for. for
I was just all in, when I found a man on
a creek, and he had the necessaries of
life with him that brought the kinks oat
of me. I had fallen in the creek and
had to swim out, and I was so wet and
cold that I do believe that if I had not
found that man when I did I could not
have stood it that night, for my matches
and cartridges were all wet and I could
not get a fire, bo yon see the Lord sure
sent that man to me so I should be saved
a little longer, and I promise that I will
not go hunting in such a rough country
any more."

H. B. Hall, ""the man who was struck
by Union Pacific train No. 10 last Wed
nesday afternoon, is now a patient at St.
Mary's hospital, having been taken there
immediately after the accident. The in
jured man is suffering from a bad cut on
the head, a bruised shoulder and a broken
arm. At first it was thought that he
might have received an internal injury,
but we are pleased to state that this is
not the case and although the injuries
are very painful none of them ate con
sidered dangerous. When the accident
occurred Mr. Hall was walking down the
track, intending to come to Columbus
and as the train neared he stepped aside
to let it pass, but in all probability did
not step far enough away and was sttnek
by the beams on the pilot of the engine
Mr. Hall has been employed by the
Union Pacific company as watchman at
the Loup river bridge for some time.

Returns from the east indicate a
heavier vote for Taft, in many states,
than was given Roosevelt four years
ago. New York leads with a plurality
of 200,000, and New Jersey shows
republican gains. Taft will have over
300 votes in the electoral college, and
242 are required to elect. Hughes is
re-elected governor of New York, and
Lilley in Connecticut. Wisconsin, the
home of Senator LaFollette, gives
Taft 75,000, and Illinois also gives a
heavy majority for the republican
ticket
Nebraska is very close, with Shal
leuberger running ahead of Bryan and
the democrats claiming his election,
and also that of Bryan. While the
cities went for the democratic ticket,
the country precincts are expected to
show gains for Taft and Sheldon, and
a good chance that they will win.
In this congressional, district the re
sult is doubtful, and democrats claim
Latta by a small majority, but here
the cities are for the democrats and the
country for the republicans. One
other democratic congressman, G. M.
Hitchcock,is elected,and Omaha gives
a small majority for Bryan with Shall
enberger leading him.
Platte county goes democratic all
the way from 900 to,rJ,200, and the
city of Columbus gives Bryan about
300 majority. In this county the de
mocrats had a splendid organization
and got out their full vote.
