Traveller" should happen to go by
the Postville school-house this win
ter again, he wouli probably be
disgusted, As be was year ago, with
the scenery, for there are no add
tions made to the building, although
| understand that the officers receiv-
ed special instructions at the last
school meeting to have the school
house fixed and have q coal house
and clubhouse built, but neither has
been done. What, in the name of
sll decency, is the reason of it? Are
the officers dead to all morality and
decency, or are they only indiffer-
ent? Ii they were men without
families, or did not have any daugh-
ters attending the school it would
not be so much of q surprise that
they are so Indifferent to those
things, but they all have children,
sons and daughters, and one of them
has daughters that are nearly grown
up attending school here.

The ladies of Nebraska are now
beginning to prepare in earnest for
the campaign of next year, when the
womsn-suffrage question will be
voted upon. 1t is yet a good while
ahead, but all interested would be
pleased to see the discussion pro-
ceed. 1t is evident that there will
be no organized opposition, and that
the ladies themselves are expected
to plead their cause to those whose
votes will decide the question, This
they have already shown themselves
sbundsntly able to do. The contest
will be interesting, if enough can be
found to advocate the opposite opin-
ion. Let every one who thinks he
has a good argument against the
adoption of the amendment present
it, either in the press or on the ros-
trum, and challenge public discus
sion. The JOURNAL will welcome
all comers, if respectful, pointed and
brief.

Mr.. EDITOR: Everything at pres
ent denotes industry and prosperity !;
the farmers are all busy with the
various occupations of the season, in
-pite of Jack Frost's effort to make
it hard for them to do so. The
sound of the carpenters hammer is
frequently heard, and the results of
his labors are seen far and near.
Mr.. David Joseph, Sr., has erected
q neat and very comfortable dwell
ing, the carpentering was done by
the Messrs. Berlin of the Looking
glass, and Mr.. John Eusden had
charge of the brick work and plss-
tering.
Mr.. Thomas Jones, whose stable
was recently burned down, has re-
placed it with lumber one, and has
also erected a corn crib. Mr.. Elliott
has had charge OF those buildings.
Mr.. David Thomas is building a
substantial barn.
Mr.. d. FL. Davis is adding to his
Improvements q number-one corn
Mr.. ID. has considerable corn this
year, but before spring he will have
done away with great amount of
it, as he has quite a number of ami
mails and believes in feeding; be is
also feeding seven head of steers.
Columbus dealers may look out for
some good fat steers after awhile.
Messrs. Hughes and Beynon have
entered their new house, erected on

Mr.. L. keating is preparing for
possible repetition of last winter,
although it is his opinion that we are
to have the hardest part of the sea-
son, on the start. Mr.. Keating came
here little over two years ago,
having little knowledge OF western
farming, but he has been an apt
student, and has taken in the situa-
ton of things to right good purpose.
He thought there was profit in
young stock, and so has been engag-
ed in shipping it into the state. He
says that himself and brother have
brought into Nebraska and sold,
seventy-twO car loads of young
stock. The only sale he ever regret
ted was one he made to a Columbus
man, of some nice heifers. Not
being used 10 the grasses drying up
Gas they sometimes do here) the
heifers didn't do well at first, and
the purchaser was discouraged, and
sold out. The same stock to-day
Gncrease included) would bring
nearly three times their cost. Mr..
X. now has about 270 head of young
stock, besides a small flock of sheep.
which he Gays be keeps to prevent
herders from falling asleep. He
thinks sheep pay well, but are troub-
lesome to keep away from crops.
He intends fitting up for the dairy
business, and wonders why any one
should imagine it wouldn't pay. He
intends furnishing milk and cream
next season to the Columbus Cream
cry and says he will devote his
attention to the milk and butter bus
iness, after another year. Mr.. h. is
one of the chosen band of precinct
officers, and we hope he will use the
same Judgment in fixing up that bad
mud road north of town that he does
in those cattle sheds he has built.

COlfax County.
From the Schuyler Sum-

lrTOm tue schuyler oun-
J. P. Strong has fifteen acres of
timothy sown three years ago. He
harvested the crop this year and
estimates that when threshed it will
yield one hundred bushels of seed,
besides the straw will make good
hay. The field also affords excellent
Fall pastursge. Glad to note this
success of tame grass in the country.
A lawsuit was compromised on
Monday in Justice Meetings. court
before coming to trial, between two
parties from the Irish settlement.
The farms of the meu are adjoining
and the hogs of one party got on the
crops of the other when the latter's
dog injured several hogs, and the
suit was instituted to recover dam
ages committed by the dog. The
difficulty was compromised by both
men paying costs and agreeing there
aud then to bear equally the expense
of a partition fence on the line be-
tween their farms, so as to obyiate
further trouble in that direction.
A COlfax county farmer recently
mortgsged his farm for $500 on three
years time, for the purpose OF pur-
chasing the material and construct
ing q barbed wire fence around 40
acres of the land. The material for
a three wire fence will cost about
forty cents per rod. The man has a
small herd, and he calculates one
steer each year will pay the interest
on the money, while the saving OF
the expense OF herding during the
three years will pay the principal
besides, he expects to find the fenc-
ing more advantageous in several
respects.

Editor Of the Times:-The veter-
mary department in your valuable
paper is always read by me with
great interest and | value the infor-
nation received from it a hundred
fold more than the small amount
paid for the paper. One year ago
you published a letter from DR.. John
Bates, relating the wonderful sue
cess he had had in curing spavins
and splints with kendalPs SPAWN
Cure, and his allusion to using il
now in his practice for several hu-
man ailments on account of the sue
cess he has always had with it. The
above statements from so prominent
Physician gave me great faith in
its efficacy, and as l had been affiict-
ed for years with rheumatism and
hip joint lameness so bad that |
could hardly walk at times, | pro-
cured bottle and as it has COM
pletely cured me wish to proclaim
it to all the world as the most won-
derful discovery ever made for the
benefit of afflicted men as we'll as
for the poor horse, for which it was
first used. AS this remedy must be
of incalculable value to the world,
write this letter to express my thank
fulness to you for ever mentioning
it in your columns and to ask an
other favor in behalf OF my fellow
men who are afflicted in body, that
you continue to make known to the
world, the great value of Kendall's
SPAWN Cure for both man as well as
beast. Respectfully yours,
ARNOLD PARKER.

On Saturday evening last an
accident occurred near town which
might have been attended with more
serious results. As Mr.. Charles
Reinke, accompanied by his wife and
daughter Emma, were returning
home from town, Mr.. Reinke, to
avoid the roughness of the road
turned to one side a little, and it
being dark, and be being uncon-
scious of the close proximity of the
deep ditch south of R. W. Young's
residence, the carriage capsized,
throwing them all to the ground.
Mrs. ReinSe received a severe cut
on her cheek, the mark of which she
will probably carry during life. Mr..
Reinke was considerably bruised
about the forehead; the daughters
wrist was injured and her head
bruised by the horses dragging her
some distance. The team, which
was fine span of young colts, ran
as far as Ernst's windmill, where
they were stopped and taken back
to Columbus; the carriage was con-
siderably broken up.

The Improvement of Chas.
Dietrich, as a painter of portraits, is
somewhat phenomenal. About a
year ago he began to daub colors on
pastebosrd, pine boards and odd
pieces of muslin, and now his work
would be difficult to excel in seven
states. We have already made
mention OF his painting of the late
Frank Becher, which looks just like
Frank himself used to, and would
be recognized, at once, by any OF his
old acqusintances "a q singularly
faithful portraiture ofhim. 1t seems
that the artist in Omaha, with whom
Chas. is at work, is of the opinion
that his genius cannot be excelled
in the United States. He is now at
work on other portraits of citizens
of Columbus that are said to ev-
idence his rare genius, and will give
him q front rank As a portrait pain

That New Bridge Near Platte
Center.

Mr.. EDITOR Our Hon. Board OF
County Commissioners have passed
an ordinance that a new bridge
should be constructed near Platte
Center; Scully's bridge $50 called
being too narrow, and pretty well
worn and decsyed, the Board is per-
fectly right in ordering the cOnstruc-
ton of new bridge. Upon inquiry,
however, the writer of this was in
formed that said new bridge is
intended to be located close to the
X. Il. track. As reason for this it
was intimared that by such location
the road would be straightened aud
that the county would save the cost
of land, as the r. r. Co. would do
nate the land for said road.
Now, Mr.. Editor, these reasons,
wei9hty as they are, don't seem to
be sufficiently so for locating a
bridge so near a r. r. track. Your
city horses, seeing the cars every
day, as general thing do not shy at
them; but it is different with the
greatest number of horses that have
to travel the road and bridge under
consideration, viz: farm horses. The
farming community-the back bone
and sinew of any and especially our
commonwealth-deserve little con-
sideration. Accidents happen every
day. Horses being frightened at
trains, persons being injured and
killed are surely no rare occurren-
ces, and road. should be laid out,
and bridges should be built in not
too close proximity to railroads to
lessen the danger, if it cannot be
entirely avoided. The writer of this
is fully convinced that every farmer
having to travel that road and to
cross that bridge, would much rath-
er go a little out of his way and pay
little additional tax for few rods
Of land, than to have road and bridge
close to the track. The present loca-
ton near the mill is very good
one. A. Fl.

advertising and the JOURNAL, to the
amount of $3.50 in exchange for

of the modesty of its claims as a re-

for the amount of its "cheek," in

1t was rumored here last week

to begin the erection of q large
union brick depot, between the
present station house and the Clo-
ther House, and fronting east, using
the north end for the Albion and
Norfolk trains, and the south for
the Z. P. trains. The plan would
be commendable, and the hypoth-
esis would be altogether sufficient
to account for the construction OF
the new track along twelfth street,
and supposed to be meant to pass
the new round-hoase, and connect
beyond with the Black Hills track.
1t may be in the minds of the of
fcisls to do this, and would GER
tainly add to the good appearance
of the city, but nobody seems to
know of any foundation for the
rumOr.
