The hunting party organized at Grand
Island left last week for the bunting
grounds. A gentleman of Grand Island
Las already offered two dollars for each
buffalo bead brought in by the party.
On of our most reliable weather prog
nosticators predicts a severe spell of
weather in February. We don't know
on what he bases his predictions unless
it is the many fine days we bare lately.
J. H. Herron, one of our early sub
scribers, who resides on his farm south
of the Platte river, in Polk county, called
on us last Friday ana gave us a pleasant
chat. He told a remarkable snake story,
that few outside of Nebraska would be
likely to credit as truthful, but knowing
the man personally and believing he is
a faithful reader of the Columbus Jour
nal, we have the utmost confidence in
his veracity and believe the story to be
strictly true. He was out on the farm
on the first day of December and while
walking quietly alolfg be discovered jueV
a short way ahead of him a large snake,
about three feet In length, and raised his
axe to strike, when the snake darted
away at a lively rate; he pursued, quick
ly, captured and killed his snakeship,
and he says there can be no mistake
about it in being the first day of Decem
ber, 1874. He also reports his winter
wheat in fine condition, with not any
thing to disturb it except the depreda
tions of flocks of wild geese.
Sergeant John Welsh, (J. S. A., who is
walking from Boston to 8an Francisco
and return, arrived in the city Tuesday,
eoroute east. About September 12 Ser
geant Wabh passed through Columbus
on his way to the coast, having left Bos
ton on August 12. He arrived in San
Francisco on October 21 and started on
the return trip four days later. He is
due in Boston February 12, but expects
to reach that city about the middle of
January. Sergeant Walsh, who is a
member of Troop B, Second U. S. Caval
ry, and his walk. across the continent
and return is the result of a wager of
$5,000, made as a result of a statement
made in one of the Hearst papers that
the soldiers of the army were unfit for
service. He is ahead of time, and his
trip from Central City here was made in
good time, as he says this is the first
time a team that has been furnished to
carry his companions, who ride, has been
able to keep up with him in walking.
He is making the expenses of the trip
by selling bis autograph at the various
stops. In order to prove that he actual
ly makes the trip he carries two books,
one to be signed by the city mayors and
a place for the city seal, and the other
for the signatures of the post masters
and impression of the post marking
stamps of the post effices. He left Co
lumbus Tuesday evening and expected
to reach Schuyler before making a stop

The opeuiug exercises of the T. M. C.
A. building, which were held last week,
and of which the Journal gave a synop
sis of until Tuesday of last week, were
conducted Sunday evening. On last
Wednesday evening there was a gymnas
tic exhibition in the gymnasium con
ducted by Prof. Kearns of Fremont,
which was attended by over five hun
dred people, followed by a swimming ex
hibition in the pool by two expert swim
mers. Thursday evening mora than
two hundred people assembled in the
building for the union prayer meeting
service led by Rev. Boush of the Metho
dist church. The business men's banquet
Friday evening, which was well attended
by over two hundred and fifty represent
ative men of the city, waa held in the
gymnasium, and after the banquet
which was served by committee of ladies
from the different churches of the city,
several addresses were made, M. D. Karr
acting as toastmsster. L W. Snow of
this city was the. first speaker on tbe
program and he took for his subject,
"What tbe association should .mean to
Columbus." He spoke from the stand
point of a business man and emphasized
the fact that a young man's associa
tions and his habits were looked after
by his employer, and a young man mem
bership in the association waa always a
good recommendation. W. D. Mead,
jr., of tbe York association told what
tbe association in that city had accom
plished, as it was one of the first associa
tions, in a city of that size to erect a
building. He also spoke of their busi
ness men's" association, which was com
posed of members of the Y. M. O. A.,
and told of the influence it exerted for
good in their community. Mr. Mead's
talk was listened to with great interest,
and at its olose.a motion was carried,
providing that all business men of Col
umbus who could should meet at tbe as
sociation building on Saturday evening
and perfect an organization, similar to
that in York. General Secretary B. C
Wade of Omaha told of how he and
other secretaries in the larger cities used
to discuss the feasibility of maintaining
associations in towns of less than ten
thousand, saying they all agreed that it
would not be done sueoessf ully, but to
day that idea was erroneous, as the fact
of a number of towns considerably
smaller than that are successfully carry
ing on the work. One matter taken up
at length by Mr. Wade was the installa
tion of Jrflliard andnool tables in tbe
buifduigs! ' He saia that wW-aV first
came to Omaha, the thought in his mind
was that if these tables were installed he
would not accept the secretaryship.
Later investigation convinced him that,
he was wrong, and at his recommenda
tion these were installed in the Omaha
building. J. C. Wharton of Omaha, one
of the prominent attorneys of that city
and an enthuisastic Y. M. C. A. man.
was the next speaker. He told of how
he became a member of the organiza
tion, and spoke especially of the gym
nasium feature, saying that this is the
place for business men confined too
closely to their work, and telling what it
did for him. State secretary J. P. Bailey
presented the religious and membership
side of the association in a few brief re
marks, and after General Secretary Jones
made a few announcements for the re
mainder of the week, application for
membership cards were passed around,
and later taken up at the door. Satur
day afternoon half a hundred boys took
a swim in the pool and Saturday evening
there was open house, with a large crowd
in attendance. Sunday morning the
services in the various churches were
conducted by local and out of town Y.
M. C A. men. Sunday evening came
tbe climax the big mass meeting at
the opera house, and the dedication of
the building. Before the address of the
evening by Dean Becher of Omaha,
State secretary J. P. Bailey raised over
$1,300 to apply on the furniture in the
building, the building itself being free
from debt when it was dedicated. After
the address of Dean Becher a proces
sion was formed and tbe audienoe
marched to the building, where the for
mal dedicatory servioes were held. As
is known, the building and furnishing
cost between 98,000 and 910,000 more
than was originally estimated, the com
mittee have been at work raising the
amount, and so well did they succeed
that when the time came for the dedica
tion the building was free from debt, on
ly a small balance being due on the
furniture, so that the Columbus associa
tion starts out in good condition, Sec
retary. Jones made a short talk at the
opera house, thanking in the name of
the openiug committee, all those who
assisted in making the opening week a
success. The ladies of the churches who
served the banquet Friday night made a
very acceptable present to the local as
sociation, consisting of ten dozen sets of
silver knives, forks and spoons, which
tbey had purchased for that evening, and
for which the association is very thank
ful. There was a small wreck on the Nor
folk branch last Saturday which delayed
the passenger so that it did not arrive
here until after 5 o'clock in tbe evening.
About two miles south of Norfolk the
journal on an oil car broke off letting
the end down and causing a avail wreck,
which blocked the track. The North
western wrecker at. Norfolk cleared the
track, but it occasioned quite a delay.

2 Negotiations are under way by which
the Wild West Show of Buffalo BUI and
tha snintlni but snullersbow of Pawnee
Bwm be consolidated. Both Colonel
Cody and Pawnee Bill are in' New York
working out the details of the trnnaae
tioe. and unless some hitch oceam it is
probable that next season there will be
one big show depicting early life on the
frontier. Colonel Cody aayn: "It looks
like we would get together. 8inee Paw
nee Bill, who was formerly one of my
men, started his show if teen yean ago
each of us has travelled entirely inde
pendent of the other jm to routes. His
show is about one-half as large as miae.
So far as my show is oonoerned, I am
anxioua to perpetuate it, and after I start
to retire I do not expect to make mom
than a hundred, farewell to vs. It will
soon need a younger man."
For the last week there have been
rumors to the effect that H. P. H. Oehl
rioh had sold his .business bouse on
Thirteenth street, but the deal was not
closed until Tuesday of this week, when
final arrangements were made. Pan!
is. Jonannes and Wm. Krumiand are
the buyers and the new firm will be
Johannes A Krnmland. An invoioe will
be taken between now and tbe first
of the year, when the. new firm will take
charge. Mr. Krnmland has been identi
fied with the hardware business ia thia
city for tbe last seven years, having been
employed in the different stores, and Mr.
Johannes, a resident of this locality un
til about a year ago, has been engaged in
the grocery buriaeas at A voce, Neb., the
last year. Both of these youag men are
workers and will no doubt make a suc
cess of their venture.
To the surprise ot his many friends in
Columbus and over the state, Judge J. J.
Sullivan resigned the position ot one of
the newly appointed members of the
supreme court, tendered him by Gover
nor Sheldon. The judge attended one'
meeting of theconrt and then tendered
his resignation. Dispatches in the daily
papers indicate that be will remove from
Columbus and make bis home in Omaha,
associating himself with J. E. Bait of
that city. Judge 8nllivan has made this
eity his home for many years, and began
the practice of law here, and tbe people
of Columbus and also Platte oonnty re
gret to see him move to the metropolia
But the jedge has made a name and
position for hituself with the bar of the
at tie mad his pmeMee in the city will no
doubt be much moreluorativelban here.
Last week Henry Bagatz and H. B.
Robinson closed a deal whereby Mr.
Robinson comes into possession of tbe
Bagatz & Co. grocery stock and Mr.
Ragntz receives in exchange a fine half
section of land on the Shell creek valley
in Joliet township, the difference to be
paid in cash. For some time Mr. Ragatz
has been desirous of making a change so
that he might establish a wholesale gro
cery bouse in this city, and the above
deal is the result. Mr. Robinson will,
take personal charge ot the stock on
December 10, and will no doubt main
tain the high standard of tbe store. The
transaction was bandied by H. 8. Elliott
of the firm of Elliott, Speice & Co. It ia
understood that Mr, Ragatz will at once
take steps to carry out his plans of start
ing a wholesale grocery house.

o'clock. Policeman' Nelson discovered
that someone had been trying to gain en
trance into Wm. Schilz's shoe store on
Olive street. As the windows were cov
ered with frost, the broken glass was
easily detected, and upon examination it
was found that someone had thrown two
bricks through tbe rear window, break
ing one of tbe large panes completely
out. Policeman Nelson and Burke pro
ceeded to investigate, but could find
nothing inside the building, as the would
