Our friends of the Democrat have ordered a new steam engine and will soon have it in place. The Journal is always pleased to note evidences of prosperity of its neighbors. Steve Overton, the popular conductor on the Norfolk branch, who nearly lost a leg lately, is out again at work, and claims that his game foot is yet worth more than a hundred wooden ones. A game of base ball Sunday last between attaches of the Grand Pacific and Clother House hotels attracted quite an audience and resulted in a score of 37 to 17 in favor of the Grand Pacific F. M.

Cookingham, was in town Thursday. He returned home from New York the Saturday previous, and says that the crops look best in Nebraska, and that, in Nebraska, around Humphrey is as good as anywhere. The Norfolk Aeics makes mention, in a paragraph concerning the Trinity church entertainment at that place, of 1 Miss Stella North of Columbus being "heartily encored on her solo." She al ways is, and she always deserves to be. The doctors say a bmrty lsngh is mora da-airabla for mental Ufa than any exercise of the reasoning faculties; and if a. joyous smile adds an hour to one's life, a heartfelt laugh should add a day.

To witness John Thompson, the comedian, in his hilarious morceau entitled "Around the World," ought surely to prolong one's life a year. His wit, humor and comicalities hare the same effect upon a melancholy person than fire does in a damp house, dispersing chills and drying molds and all hopeful and cheerfuL We don't remember of the Thompson type, so grotesque, so ridiculous, and yet so finished. In "Around the World" there is an absence of murder, robbery, abduction. Til-liana or villainy; no love-making or sickly emotional scene. It is pore, wholesome, unadulterated fun; it is Just the kind of an entertainment a man can take bis family to and enjoy.

Bliss Dotie Nagle is an accomplished actress, and very handsome. Miss Mollie Thompson has talent bordering on genius. The characters portrayed by the company in "Around the World" comprise the beet in his repertoire. The number of musical Instruments he played with great skill is astonishing, t.ilrom Mollie McOormly, who hails from Ireland, a kitchen, mechanic, 'a native of tho county of Donegal, who sings: "I'm from Ireland. I'm from Ireland, You can tell it from the color of my hair," down to Moses Abraham, the cheap clothing man, the interest never nagged.

We predict that reserved seats will be at a premium to-night. "Around the World" matinee tomorrow. Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer. We reprint elsewhere in today's Jnurnal a recipe 'for the destruction of prairie dogs. It speaks for itself.

In places, here and there, throughout the west, farmers have given the job of ridding their farms of these pests to men at so much a head, and one man we know of is under contract to rid a section of land of them for $125; the contractor has been several months working at the job, and at last accounts had shot a thousand dogs, and supposed he was about half through with his undertaking. Using this recipe, with the material fresh and strong, the pests would doubtless soon be got rid of. It seems generally conceded since tho meeting of the central committee that Kavanaugh is now ahead for treasurer among the democracy. There are combinations in sight, however, that may change the preconceived order of events. The attack of the Democrat upon Ed.

Newman, supposed by some to be in the interest of D. Frank Davis of the Democrat as a candidate for Supt of Schools, is by others attributed to the suggestion of Kavanaugh, who is presumed to prefer Braun as a candidate for that position, thinking thus to conciliate the German element. The meeting of the county Democratic central committee at Platte Center Saturday last was not the most harmonious political pow-wow that ever assembled. It seems that the apportionment for delegates was left to be done by the chairman, Chas. Carrig and the sec'y, Harry Newman, under instructions from the committee.

It is understood that there was an attempt to decrease representation from Grand Prairio and Crestou, but that it did not succeed. The County Convention is to be held Sept. 28th. Those who have been selling cream to Stevenson Bros, this summer have found that it paid them well. Now that the grass is failing somewhat, those who expect their monthly receipts to keep up, should see that the milch cows are kept well fed with bran and meal and green corn cut up with the stalks, or some such feed that will keep the cows in good condition and keep up the flow of milk.

It will pay.

Orders by mail promptly attended to. Address, M.

K. Turner Columbus, Nebr. Mr. Wolfenberger, the prohibition lecturer, made a speech at'the Congregational church at O'Kay in this county, some three or four weeks ago, in which, we are credibly informed, he statedthat those who joined them there would not be required to be strictly temperate men (of course they preferred they would be), but they did insist that they vote the prohibition ticket. The Democrat's remarks on the action of Judge Post and also on the telegrams of H.

J. Hudson to the Omaha Bee, in the Spencer habeas corpus cose, are looked upon as uncalled for and unjust Both these men have lived long enough in this community to need no defenee from any one, to an attack charging them with injustice to a defenceless woman. It is beginning to seem that Kavanaugh has been doing a great deal of work for the nomination for treasurer, but many democrats are outspoken against "him for that office, who would yet favor him for that of sheriff. The democratic convention promises to be one of the most interesting circuses of the season. John Busselman returned from Columbus lost Thursday, having recovered from his late sickness.

He is still very weak and it will be some little time before he can safely resume work in his shop. He recommends the hospital very highly and says he received the best of treatment while there. Lindsay Sentinel. Miss Nellie North met with an accident the first of the week that might readily have been a great deal more serious than it is. In alighting from a road cart her dress caught and she fell, striking on her left wrist, breaking a bone of the arm above the wrist.

The wound ia healing very nicely. Last Saturday afternoon during the rain storm lightning struck the spire of the Methodist church, and also the dwelling houses of J. P. Becker and C. J.

Garlow. No special damage at the dwelling houses, but the injury to the church is estimated at $150 to $200. A trip through the northern part of the county shows a fine condition of the crops. Wheat in some instances runs to 33 bushels an acre. Corn is very fine, and the late rain will help it materially.

Considering the dry summer the outcome is remarkable. All but three townships were represented at the democratic, central committee meeting at Platte Center, Saturday. The county convention is called for September 28th, and representation based on the vote for North. Feeding Stem Ckean. I will sell good, first-clips feeding steers cheaper than anybody.

Smith -Morrill. We make no apology to our readers for reproducing from the National City (Cala.) Record, the following extract concerning the marriage of our young friend Geo. son of S. C. Smith, formerly of this place, and brother of Mrs.

This event was the occasion of a grand reception at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Warren C. Kimball, given in honor of the bride, a niece of Mrs. Kimball's.

This palatial home, one of the handsomest in southern California, was beautifully illuminated and decorated for the special occasion. The reception was from 8 to 11 p. and by 9 o'clock the large mansion house was filled with the elite of National society. This was not only the great society event of the season, but the grandest ever held in National. THK BBIDK AND OBOOX received their friends in the main niuW vhm handshaking and congratulating was the order of tho evening.

Grass is being cut closer for hay this year than for a long time; people are eager to save it alL Henry Lusche has a new threshing machine with horse power, and is busy separating the grain from the chaff. Even well organized school districts sometimes get teachers who do not give entire satisfaction, and 44 is no exception. Since the gentle shower of Saturday evening, the pastures that were nearly bar, are looking better, as is also buckwheat and turnips. Waggoner Barnes are in sight of this place with their steam thresher, knocking down the grain stacks to the satisfaction of all concerned. J.

G. Engle is in very poor health, has not been able to do any physical labor this summer; the trouble seems to be a sore in the stomach of a cancerous nature.

In this department the people talk, and not the editor. Lach writer must hold himself ready to defend his principles and las statements of facts. "In tho multitude of counsel there in wisdom." Ed. Jocbxal.1 Ed. Journal: I was surprised to see in the Democrat of the 11th instant how-indignant D.

Frank Davis folt when questioned on his political creed and the turning of his political coat. He says his democracy is and always has been simon pure. Well, as to tho purity of his politics, I have my doubts, and will charge him up in my book of facts for did not he, D. Frank Davis stand before a Republican convention held in Sehuy ler, Colfax county, on the 17th of October, 1883, and ask that body to nominato him for the office of County Superintendent? I will ask the readers of the Journal was this act of D. Frank Davis consistent with simon puro Democracy.

I will further state. Was George Erb not a delegate at the aforesaid convention and when Davis's name came up for a nomination he was objected to on tho grounds of his not being old enough to entitle him to vote? There and then did not George Erb go and inform Davis of these alleged facts and Davis replied "go back and tell thorn they are damned liars, I was a voter one month ago?" Still, Davis would have tho readers of the Journal and in particular, tho readers of the Democrat, believe ho was not a voter until the election of '81. Now, how does this statement of Davis tally with that of George Erb, who was a delegate to the convention? Whom shall we believe, Davis or Erb? Let the people determine, for Georgo Erb states that Davis's father was then and is now a straight Republican, so the readers of the Democrat can see at a glance the cause of Davis wearing a reversible coat, Bimply because ho could not get the nomination from the Republican party for County Superintendent of Colfax county, and now the question is when you come to measure his politics, is he a Democrat, is he a Republican, or is ho a genuine mugwump. As a Republican, he's a cast-off; as a Democrat, the party he claims to belong to, they can't place explicit confidence in him, that is, to his simon pure part of it, but to simmer this thing down fine I suppose all political party ships have less or more barnacles attached to them, and in this case tho Democrats have a good one in Davis. But, in my estimation of character let mo tell the readers of tho Journal that thoy are well rid of such timber, as a Republican wolf in Colfax don't make a good Democratic sheep in Platte, the wool is too thin.

Farmer. Republican Ontral Committee. At the suggestion of sever.il members of the committee (in the absence of the chairman), the Journal has been requested to call the Central Committee together, to meet at the Journal office Wednesday, Aug. 24, 1887, at 2 pi m. sharp.
