Mr. Harris of Central City, father of Mrs. Geitzen and Mrs. Roberts of this city, died at his home last Thursday. The body was taken to DeKalb, Illinois, : for burial, passing through here Friday.

H. Randall, took place yesterday at 2 from the residence of the parents in this city. He was eighteen years old, and had been for some years at Beatrice, where he de- parted this life. Mrs. Martha Schupbach had the misfortune to scratch her foot on a rusty nail about ten days ago, the wound swelling so much that she called the doctors in Christmas and they lanced the limb at tho knee. Mayor Fitzpatrick says that in the future any one requiring the assistance of an officer should proceed to the near- est engino house and ring the bell one tap. The police are instructed to an- swer the signal immediately. A regular reader of The Journal saves the "Dairy and Poultry" columns in a scrap-boo- k, for permanent reference, and says that this habit has been worth a great deal more to him in dollars than twenty times the price of subscription.

R. and the camp of the Sons of Veterans are to take place at their hall, to which all veterans, their families and friends are invited. An enjoyable time is an- ticipated. Samuel J. Alexander, whose death was noted in last week's Journal, had lived in Nebraska twenty years, most of the. time in Monroe township. A short time ago ho came to Columbus. He leaves his aged wife and one son, George Alexander. Charles Welch, who has been teach- ing in the new school building in the Galley district, closed Friday's session for the Holiday vacation, by special exercises adapted to the occasion. A goodly number of patrons of the school were in attendance. Herman Bakenhns was in the city Saturday. He lives in the northeastern quarter of the county, does a good deal of trafficing at Leigh, but still retains interest in Columbus, and renews his subscription to The Journal as has been his custom for many years. Tho members of the Columbus cornet band at their meeting Friday night presented their leader, Mr. Frank Nather, and throe other local musicians of the city who are temporarily assisting the band in the absence of the regular members, with neat Christmas remind- ers. All who have anything to do with rehearsing exercises for church enter- tainments, etc., among the children, notice how much easier they learn the muBic than a few years ago, before music was taught in the public schools. It is so noticeable that the difference is as- tonishing. Comrade D. N. Miner has allowed us to look over several Manila newspapers recently sent him by his son Charles. They are an interesting study, all through, and must be seen to be fully appreciated. Four dollars in gold or eight dollars in silver is the price of the paper for a year. Frank Gores, who has been absent in the northern part of the county the past three or four months erecting build- ings has returned and will now begin where he left off with instructing the Orpheus singing society and orchestra, both of which organizations have been making good progress. Will. Schram made a fine represen- tation of Santa Claus at the Orpheus celebration of the jolly patron saint, Sun- day evening. The orchestra furnished choice selections, and the young folis were delighted with the occasion of pleasant talk, and general harmony. A large crowd was present. An article in the Iowa Homestead (reckoned as one of the best current authorities on practical farm matters) concerning the "corn-stal- k disease," says there ought to be no such thing, and there would not be if everybody would cut their corn and feed it shredded or otherwise, or in the form of ensilage. In sluggish liver, HERBINE, by its beneficial action upon the biliary tracts, renders the bile more fluid, and brings the liver into a sound, healthy condition, thereby banishing the sense of drowsi- ness, lethargy, and the general feeling of apathy which rise from disorders of the liver. Price 50 eta. Dr. A. Heiats and Pollock 4 Co, At the term of district court just closed a case was tried wherein a farmer living near Warnerville brought 6uit to recover title to his farm, that a Norfolk real estate man was trying to beat him out of. The farmer won his case and left the court house- - thanking his stars for h& narrow escape. Madison Chron- icle. The disposition of children largely depends upon health. If they are troubled with worms, they will be irri- table, cross, feverish, and perhaps seri- ously sick. WHITE'S CREAM VERMI- FUGE is a worm expeller and tonic to make them healthy and cheerful. Price 25 cts. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock & Co. Among the valuable Christmas pres ents given in the city was that f a very handsome Singer sewing machine, fur nished at cost through G. E. Stiles the agent, to friends, and by them donated to Rev. and Mrs. A. L. Mickel, and placed in the parsonage Saturday even ing, while they were at the entertainment at tho church, so that tho "surprise" was complete. At the trial of tho crooks, Waters, Weast and Martin, Friday afternoon before Judge Hudson, the first named was held to the district court in the sum of $1,000 bonds and the last two for $500 each.

Coming to Humphrey in that vicinity, and has since that thriving town. There is in days he invested in land then been interested in the upbuilding of perhaps no town in the state of the of Humphrey that has finer residences, business public buildings, or that more bnsinees, Ottis has been among the foremost in matters involv- ing the interests of the Saturday evening a boy named Albert Dierks was killed by a train on the Union Pacific at Fremont. He was holding on to the side of a car, trying to jump off just beforo ho reached the stock chute was struck by the chute, falling under the wheels. The lwy's mother is almost prostrated over the affair. If other boys in other towns would profit by Albert's mishap, he not have died in vain. The Campfire Sketches in The Journal are designed for general read- ing, for what touches the tender places in the old comrade's heart also finds lodgement with others. Col. Roosevelt's talk to the Rough Riders suggests a fruitful of thought to people in general, tho incident in regard to Gen. Wheeler is ono of tho little touches of humanity that make biogra- phy the very best form of history. Thoso of the Columbus city schools who went to Lincoln yesterday were: Superintendent Williams, Prof. Camp- bell, Prof. Brittel, Mrs. Ballon, Mrs. Brindley, Miss Lynch, Mr. Rothleitner, President Galley of tho school board. Those having numbers on the program of the Stato Teachers' association are Supt. Williams, Mrs. Brindley Mr. Galley, besides Supt. Leavy of tho Platte county schools. Sam Beaver showed us a lemon one day last week that he had picked from a in his green-hous- e, measuring 11 inches in circumference the long by 10K tho other, and which weighed 9 ounces. It was one of the largest most perfect lemons we ever saw. The tree is about 17 years old, was given to Beaver by Mr. Cadmus. It has about 16 lemons on it now, some of them just ripening. Seward Blade. George Ganger has an ice boat by tho Platte that is astonishing the natives, who are not used to a contrivance that gets the speed that this one does. It is about 14 feet long carries 25 yards of canvas. With wind in the right direc- tion good ice the boat fairly flies along, its for a mile so far being one minute and twenty seconds. A number of Ganger's friends have been taking spins on it for the novelty of the thing. Fremont Tribune. work on tho irrigation canal which runs through southern Nance and northern Merrick counties is being steadily pushed this winter, although the cold weather is interfering with operations somewhat. The company has ordered frost plows from the east and when they arrive the winter work will progress rapidly and a larger force will be employed. It is the intention to have the canal completed to carry water for irrigation in the spring. Central City Nonpareil. Superintendent Saylor of the Lin coln public schools favors "coming down with the courses of study in grades or raising the age of pupils. A child enter- ing the schools at six is better fitted throughout the entire course to study than one entering at five." Dr. Stein, of the board, was opposed to the promotion of scholars, now about to be made into the high school. Their own teachers would testify that they were not fitted for it. The high school is now com- pelled to teach certain rudimentary branches, which should not be necessa- ry. The high school teachers were em- barrassed because of' the immature and crude product being turned into the school. Judge C A. Speice at his office a fine new map of Columbus ceme- tery, the work ofRL Rossiter, with all the avenues, streets, lota, owner's names, etc noted on the same.

The Christmas dance, given at the opera house Monday night by the W. Y. Bissell hose company was largely at- tended by a lively crowd of merry danc-cer- s. The mnsic for the occasion was furnished by the Maennerchor orches- tra and everybody who was there pro- nounce it ono of tho most enjoyable events of the season. The boys will have something like $25 clear of expen- ses to place in their treasury. Robert Rhone of Kearney by special request favored the Methodist congrega- tion at tho Sunday morning service with a very appropriate and finely rendered solo on the mandolin. Young Robert is son of Roy W. Rhone of the Kearney New-Er- a Standard, and with his mother, who plays very finely on the guitar, they have become adepts in harmony, readily reading the finest music and very ac curately translating the ideas of the great masters into the harmonious sounds which touch and tender all hearts.

It will give im- mediate roliof and heal any wound. Price 25 cts. nnd 50 cts. Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock & Co. Sunday School gave a most pleasing cantata Saturday evening. A crowd of little Brownies was one of the most interesting parts of the program. Each chnrch was crowded with listeners as is always the case whero the children take part. The electric lights went out toward the close of the program causing a good deal of trouble to the different congregations, but came in. again soon to the delight of all. A nniquo outfit was in evidence on the streets of the city Friday. First, a small-size- d donkey attached to a cart seemingly much heavier than himself and loaded with bedding, a camp stove, and sundry books and pamphlets which a bearded young man was offering for sale, saying that he was too poor to give them away or ho would do so, that there was no money in what he was doing, etc. "The Flying Roll" was the title of tho book, and he went on bis way, after attracting quito a bit of attention. Departed this life, at tho Sibletz Indian agency in western Oregon, where she held the position of matron, on Nov. 26tb, 1898, after an illness of fonr days, of acute pneumonia, Mrs. Ermengard (Cotton) Fox in the 32d year of her age; daughter of Wm. H. Cotton, a former well-know- n resident of Monroe town- ship. The deceased resided and taught school for some time in Monroe and Butler townships; from the latter she removed with her husband to Oklahoma, where he met with his death by an acci- dent, since which she has been engaged in educational pursuits in the west. One son survives her. That Argan Mas. Editor Journal: I found him. He has awoke from his Rip Van Winkle slumbers and been minting now words, I suppose to use in the completion of his grdat history of Platte county. We have often heard of contortions, but his kind of contortions have never before met our gaze. That Argus man is not only a great historian but he is also a mathematician. He has figured out to a cent the space occupied in The Jour- nal. A. hit goose always squawks. He donated enough of his valuable time to figure out the loss to The Journal. He surely will be afflicted with en- largement of the heart for he squandered fifty cents worth of space in the columns of the Argus to get his new word before the people. I suppose this is part of a new language which he wishes to hand down to his posterity. We all know they will appreciate something from a historical parent. The Argus man says Prehistoric George's article contains nothing of interest to anyone; it seems that Mr. Nobody took the time to read it. If McKinley gets his eye on Historian B., he will load him into a steel boat with gold oars and Mark Hanna will furnish angels to paddle him to the Philippine shore. Georqe E. Barnuk. FmrSale.

Three strangers entered the saloon of Lehman & Hershenhan last Wednesday evening and ono of them bought beer of Lehman and shortly afterwards asked for' rum and was refused. Lehman had seen them before, and didn't like their maneuvers. Immediately he pulled his revolver and began striking Lehman on tho head with the barrel, making eovend wounds that are not yet entirely healed. At the same time nnother man of tho gang leveled n pistol upon threo persons sit- ting at a tablo some steps away, and di- rected tbom not to move. Somebody came in at the front door just then, and the three toughs, doubt- less thinking the police wtils about to get them, slid out. Policemen Rector, Schack nnd Brock came up with them in the alley back of Dussell's place, where some nine or ten shots were exchanged, and two arrests mado. Policeman Brock was shot in tho leg, between the knee and ankle, the ball striking tho bone and going about three-quarte- rs way around it, and then out. No others wero struck. Charles Easton of tho firm of Swarz & Easton, went on a hunt after the third man, who had escaped during the racket, and was supposed to bo the one who shot Brock. He found him crouched down in the alley back of Steve Ryan's residence, and induced him to como up town. Easton says the follow showed no sign of fear at all, and tried to put Charles off by tolling him that he had driven over that afternoon in a wagon from Rising and was waiting for his partner. The three were duly lodged in the county jail. From the mixed lot of burglars traps found on their persons, they are evident- ly in "business," and should bo dealt with accordingly. They had been nnder the surveillance of the police several days, and are sup- posed to be of a gang making their head- quarters in Sarpy county. It is also surmised that robbery at the saloon was not the motif of the three, but that by that transaction they might get into the county jail, and be enabled to help their "pal," (Hayes, who robbed the Flynn store some weeks ago), to make his escape along with themselves. They all deserve the full measure of punishment, which may prevent tho commission on their part of many more, and even more heinous crimes. The Maiieal Eatertaineat.

Should she over appear again beforo a Colum- bus nudienco, sho would fill tho opera house to overflowing, as she has a voice of groat compass and sweetness, that one could listen to for honrs. From tho instant Prof. Salisbury came to tho front of tho stage with his baton nnd started his players, tho musi- cians and music lovers of tho nudienco wero in ecstasy until tho finish of the program, which camo all too quickly. If it could bo said that thoy wero play- ing to the gallery at any ono time inoro than another it was in tho pieco enti- tled, "Tho Clock Store." All instru- ments had stopped, or rested, whilo tho drummer got in his work ono could al- most imagine himsolf in a jewel- er's storo at the noon hour hearing the different clocks strike, tho cuckoo sing- ing tho hour, bringing a smile on tho faco of nearly overybody in tho house; bells were rung and chimes struck, and at tho end of tho pieco tho "gallery gods" went wild. Tho climax was reached, however, at tho rendition of "The Capture of Santi- ago," the grandeur of which filled some with great joy, making them applaud on the instant, while to others it brought a sad feeling, so intense that tears were seen in many eyes when tho light was thrown on after tho bombard- ment. As a whole the concert wae one of the best ever given here and speaks well for the effort put forth by tho graduating class. One of our musicians commented upon tho entertainment as being sunero, tne best no nau ever heard; another as very classical and in structive; still another saying that if they had such mnsic in heaven sho would like very much to go there He GeM It. Fred. Jewell, formerly of this county and very well known to many Jourxai. readers, will bo called a professional place-hunte- r, "if he don't watch out." The Omaha Bee's Lincoln correspond- ence of yesterday has this paragraph, following Borne other matters touching the views of tho governor-elect- : "It is not known what view Poynter takes of the matter and the governor-ele- ct is not expressing himself very freely on any subject since the announce- ment of his appointment of Fred Jewell as his private secretary. This appoint- ment is not giving satisfaction to the fusion leaders for several reasons. The principal reason is that there were many other applicants for the place, although the selection is criticised because Jewell has already received several good re- wards, said to be far beyond any polit- ical services he ever performed. These criticisms are perfectly natural, coming as they do mainly from place-hunter- s, but the matter is causing the new gov- ernor a good deal of worriment." Old Iron.

Think kindly of the star in the east, and remember that a present greeting will often give tho depressed a merry Christmas, or a happy New Year. Christmas day camo and went, as of yore; tho roads were smooth and dry; the weather very pleasant, nnd from the way wagons passed horo from tho city Saturday, loaded with packages, there must havo been presents for all. Even yo scribe Wiis not forgotten by any means, nnd feels as proud as tho boy with red top boots. Some weeks ago, when corn was 23 cts. a bushel, tho farmers wero loth to sell, only as they wero obliged to, contending that less than 20 eta. would give them no profit on this year's crop of corn, but now, we aro about prepared to inform them that the 2G cts., which was to give tbom a profit, has arrived.

Tho little ones were reminded that Christmas was near at hand, when in the afternoon the teacher caused to be distributed among them, a box of candies, to which they did ample justice, and next morning there was much of that feeling well, kind reader, you know how it is yourself. Tho Suburban school in District 1, Miss Elliot, tencher, gave an entertain-mon- t Friday evening, consisting of songs, recitations, dialogues and instru- mental music. We could not obtain tho names of those taking n part but are pleased to say that nearly nil tho attend- ing pupils took an activo part. Tho teacher also awoke the light spirit among the patrons, as nearly all of the parents were present nnd seamed to en- joy the whole.

Dr. Stein, ofthe board, was opposed to the promotionof scholars, now about to be made intothe high school. Their own teacherswould testify that they were not fittedfor it. The high school is now com-pelled to teach certain rudimentarybranches, which should not be necessa-ry. The high school teachers were em-

barrassed because of' the immature andcrude product being turned into theschool.

Sunday Schoolgave a most pleasing cantata Saturdayevening. A crowd of little Brownieswas one of the most interesting parts ofthe program. Each chnrch was crowdedwith listeners as is always the case wherothe children take part. The electriclights went out toward the close of theprogram causing a good deal of troubleto the different congregations, but camein. again soon to the delight of all.

A nniquo outfit was in evidence onthe streets of the city Friday.

That Argan Mas.

Editor Journal: I found him. Hehas awoke from his Rip Van Winkleslumbers and been minting now words,I suppose to use in the completion ofhis grdat history of Platte county. Wehave often heard of contortions, but hiskind of contortions have never beforemet our gaze. That Argus man is notonly a great historian but he is also amathematician. He has figured out toa cent the space occupied in The Jour-nal. A. hit goose always squawks. Hedonated enough of his valuable time tofigure out the loss to The Journal.

He surely will be afflicted with en-

largement of the heart for he squanderedfifty cents worth of space in the columnsof the Argus to get his new word beforethe people. I suppose this is part of anew language which he wishes to handdown to his posterity. We all knowthey will appreciate something from ahistorical parent. The Argus man saysPrehistoric George's article containsnothing of interest to anyone; it seemsthat Mr. Nobody took the time toread it.

A Battle Witk Tongh.Three strangers entered the saloon of

Lehman & Hershenhan last Wednesdayevening and ono of them bought beer ofLehman and shortly afterwards askedfor' rum and was refused. Lehman hadseen them before, and didn't like theirmaneuvers.

Immediately he pulled his revolverand began striking Lehman on tho headwith the barrel, making eovend woundsthat are not yet entirely healed. At thesame time nnother man of tho gangleveled n pistol upon threo persons sit-ting at a tablo some steps away, and di-

rected tbom not to move.Somebody came in at the front door

just then, and the three toughs, doubt-less thinking the police wtils about toget them, slid out.

Policemen Rector, Schack nnd Brockcame up with them in the alley back ofDussell's place, where some nine or tenshots were exchanged, and two arrestsmado. Policeman Brock was shot intho leg, between the knee and ankle, theball striking tho bone and going aboutthree-quarte- rs way around it, and thenout. No others wero struck.

Charles Easton of tho firm of Swarz& Easton, went on a hunt after the thirdman, who had escaped during the racket,and was supposed to bo the one whoshot Brock. He found him croucheddown in the alley back of Steve Ryan'sresidence, and induced him to como uptown. Easton says the follow showedno sign of fear at all, and tried to putCharles off by tolling him that he haddriven over that afternoon in a wagonfrom Rising and was waiting for hispartner. The three were duly lodged inthe county jail.

From the mixed lot of burglars trapsfound on their persons, they are evident-ly in "business," and should bo dealtwith accordingly.

They had been nnder the surveillanceof the police several days, and are sup-posed to be of a gang making their head-quarters in Sarpy county. It is alsosurmised that robbery at the saloon wasnot the motif of the three, but that bythat transaction they might get into thecounty jail, and be enabled to help their"pal," (Hayes, who robbed the Flynnstore some weeks ago), to make hisescape along with themselves.

They all deserve the full measure ofpunishment, which may prevent thocommission on their part of many more,and even more heinous crimes.

ing tho hour, bringing a smile on thofaco of nearly overybody in tho house;bells were rung and chimes struck, andat tho end of tho pieco tho "gallerygods" went wild.

Tho climax was reached, however, attho rendition of "The Capture of Santi-ago," the grandeur of which filled somewith great joy, making them applaudon the instant, while to others itbrought a sad feeling, so intense thattears were seen in many eyes when tholight was thrown on after tho bombard-ment.

"It is not known what view Poyntertakes of the matter and the governor-ele- ct

is not expressing himself veryfreely on any subject since the announce-ment of his appointment of Fred Jewellas his private secretary. This appoint-ment is not giving satisfaction to thefusion leaders for several reasons. Theprincipal reason is that there were manyother applicants for the place, althoughthe selection is criticised because Jewellhas already received several good re-

wards, said to be far beyond any polit-ical services he ever performed. Thesecriticisms are perfectly natural, comingas they do mainly from place-hunter- s,

but the matter is causing the new gov-ernor a good deal of worriment."

Think kindly of the star in the east,and remember that a present greetingwill often give tho depressed a merryChristmas, or a happy New Year.

Christmas day camo and went, as ofyore; tho roads were smooth and dry;the weather very pleasant, nnd from theway wagons passed horo from tho citySaturday, loaded with packages, theremust havo been presents for all. Evenyo scribe Wiis not forgotten by anymeans, nnd feels as proud as tho boywith red top boots.

Some weeks ago, when corn was 23 cts.a bushel, tho farmers wero loth to sell,only as they wero obliged to, contendingthat less than 20 eta. would give themno profit on this year's crop of corn, butnow, we aro about prepared to informthem that the 2G cts., which was to givetbom a profit, has arrived. Wo willstand up for Nebraska.
