The Packing House.

Work is going right along on this
enterprise. j. N. Miner has the con-
tract for the carpenter work and
Charles Schroeder for the tanks and
boiler. The foundation is laid, and
it is expected that the building will
be ready for use by the twentieth or
twenty-fifth of November. 1t will
be two stories high, and situated on
tract Of three and a half acres of
land lying in the eastern part of the
city, and between the main tracks of
the U. P. and the A. &N.
We don't know who will have
charge of the inside workings of the
institution, but S. G. Cory, we sup
pose. He is practical packer with
IL years experience, much of It in
Omaha, with Phelps Roe and with
Roddis & Thrsll, and comes from
there with a splendid recommends
ton.

Next TO the mental exaltation
of the genius who conceives an ex-
cellent drama, must be the intel
lectual delight of the successful &C.
tor who, as q medium of exchange
of thought, delivers the sentiment
of the author, with the full force and
meaning of every phrase, to an sp-
preciative audience. Third in this
train of pure intellectual delights
comes that of those who listen,
whose pleasure is only exceeded by
that Of the actor and the author.
This is the secret of the popularity
of the Kendslls. Their plays are
good and their acting true to ns-
ture. 25-w-2

Judge w. S. Geer spent several
days in Nance county last week. He
has become quite enamorsd of the
same, and has even purchased some
land there. He has an interest in
forty acres near the mouth Of the
Cedar, and stretching from the Cedar
to the LOup, in which, at depth OF
six feet from the surface, they have
discovered a bed of what is called
the Kansas chalk stone. 1t is said
to be an excellent building stone, as
readily sawed and plsned az wood
is, but with exposure to the air be-
comes very hard. The Judge has a
nice specimen Of the stone at his
Office in this city, which may be seen
there by those who are interested in
the development Of Nebrsska's nat
ural resources. On the same tract
of land slate also has been found,
such as always accompanies the de-
posit of coal. If the Judge has a
stone quarry and coal bed both in
his land, he has certainly struck q
pretty good investment. Speaking
of real estate matters, he says that
movements in Nance county are very
lively. Raw prairie, bought two
years ago at three dollars an acre is
selling for double that sum, and a
great many transfers are being made.

Keep OFT.

The undersigned desires il to be
understood by the public generally
and by hunters particularly that hC
wants them to keep off his place
and away from his stock. He ha:
had hog and a COW killed and now
a colt perhaps fatally injured, and il
is about time it should be stopped
IL hunters will not shoot within a
quarter of a mile of his premises,
they will much oblige

1T is hardly ever safe to make
predictions or even statements con-
corning Nebraska weather, in a
weekly paper, but il seems at this
writing Saturday evening" that the
rainy weather which has for so
many days been prevalent in Iowa
and Illinois has extended it's area to
include Nebraska. The rain and
moisture is rather warm, grass is
growing, and things have kind of
"springish" appearance. There is
no telling, however, what day may
bring forth--the next blast that
sweeps from the north may bring
snow and plenty Of it. If so, where
again will the stock shelters be for
the winter?
The Columbus journal., 1881-10-26

There is such thing as general
intelligence - keeping posted on
what is going on, the current events
of the neighborhood, state and ma.
ton, prices of various commodities,
etc. For the sake of information on
this last point alone, it would repay
every man who has or may have
anything to sell or to buy. to take
his local paper and read it. The
wit will say at once, "Oh, yes, that
will do for you to talk, you have
newspapers for SALE" True enough,
but you are not compelled to take
this paper. We don't want you or
any other man to take the JOURNAL
unless you are sure you get your
two dollars worth every year. The
idea OF local, weekly newspaper
costing too much is too absurd to
think of. A glass of beer once q
week, or drink of whiskey less !;
one cigar less q week; one game of
billiards less every three weeks, and
many another little personal ex-
penditure of the sort, dropped or
decreased, would not only buy you
the newspaper but the school-books
needed by the children as we'll as q
portion of their clothes. A very
intelligent man has just been talking
to us about these things, and said
that nearly year ago when he de-
termined to give up his cigars, which,
(fOr himself and others whom he
trested) were costing him about 81
q day, his wife concluded to get
along without q hired girl; then of
course they could do and did do
with less house room, bringing
down their rent from eighteen dol
lars a month to twelve and q half.
Nairely, he remarked to us, "my
wife didn't know how much my
cigars had cost me--she thought sine
was making a sacrifice equal to mine,
but she wasn't by a long ways"
Take the local papers, read them,
and keep posted on these, as well as
other things.

for. This is very annoying to Mr..

he had hog and q COW killed for
him before. 1t is not supposed that
there is any msliciousness about the

A good story reaches us from Belgium,
the truth Of which 10 guaranteed. A bank
ing house at Verviers recently received a
letter from bank at Buda Pesth. The re-
cipients knew that il related TO O matter of
great Importance; but, unfortunately, they
could not master the contents of the mis-
slve, ss it was written in the Hungarian
language, and there was not soul at Yer
viers VINO understood that tongue. Accor-
dinghy, one of the partners rook Journey
10 Brussels, expecting 10 find everything
he wanted at the Capital, but only TO be
disappointed-nobOdy at the banks could
read Hungarian. There was, however,
stll the Austro-Hungarian Embassy,
whittier the banker betcok himself, to learn
that there was an attache who spoke Hun
Rarian, but he had gone TO Biarritz for
some sea bathing. Almost in despair, the
hero of the story call ed upon the Bourgo-
master, with whom he was acquainted, and
related his troubles. AfIer some thougat
his worship, striking his forehead, exclalm
ed: "Aft all, sometimes our most foolish
ideas prove the best" With this enlgmat-
lcal observation he asked for the lerrer.
The next day he returned the original TO
the gentleman from Verviers, with trans
lation in French, in neat, feminine hand.
''To what Hungarian fairy do L owe this
good fortunef" asked the delighted banker.
This lie an affair involving some millions,
and | shall be happy to pay a handsome
douceur to the translator who has enabled
me TO get at the meaning of the letter In
time TO conclude the affair."" II take you
OF your word, replied the Bourgomaster.
''Give me 10, 000f. for the poor of Brussels
for the translator is none other than the
Queen. She has experienced lively salts
faction In employing her knowledge OF the
Hungarian language 10 obIige one OF her
subjects" The Queen of the BeIgians is
daughter of the Archduke Joseph, whose
beneicient rule of Hungary is still remen-
bered by the people, and she was born In
the capital city during her fathers palsun-
ate
