SEDATED SZET. 27th.
Lincoln county farmers that.will
take up this vegetable as a special
ty. At the irrigation convention
that was held in North - Platte on
the 19th of December, 1893, Judge
J. S. Emery, of Kansas, remarked
fimf in- h'uA never eaten nicer or
sweeter celery than .that grown in
this- county. Since hearing that
remark I have endeavored to ascer
tain if this .was the case that the
celery raised on. the bottom lands
of our county did possess very su
perior qualities of excellence over
that jrrown in other localities. As
I have bean continuously traveling
during the past two years, and hav
ing whenever celery was placed
upon the .table sampled the same
with the ;udea of ascertaining the
truth of Judge Emery's remark as
to the sweetness and superiority of
our home .grown celery, and without
trying to be partial to our locality
I am certain that Judge Emery was
correct. If this is the case there is
a chance for some enterprising
farmers 1jQ( realize a plendidin
come from the growing of this
vegetable.
From personal test our celery far
surpasses'.! r sweetness and flavor

THE POPUUST BATnTCATTON MEETING.
In spite of the fact that most of
those present as delegates to tlie
populist convention last Saturday
were compelled to wear heayy over
coates and required the janitor to
maintain an extra good fire in order
to present any evidence of warmth
and enthusiasm, some of the most
sanguine,- whose hopes are doomed
to be blasted, attempted in. the
evening- to hold a meeting- for the !
purpose of ratifying- the labors of
the day.
About 8 o'clock the deposed ring--,
master, Burritt, called to order an
assemblage consisting of about 100
individuals one-half of whom were
"pops"and theremainder interested
spectators who were . desirous of
seeing- the animals perform. J. W.
Alexander, who is rather too intel
ligent looking-, and too good a man
to be among- such a g-ang of politi
cal plotters, was called upon to
preside over the meeting-.
Some of Buchanan's clacquers
;were, the first to call their little
demi-god to thesfioor in order that
he might first go through his paces.
Quick to respond to thefeirsj: sign
of an invitation he rapidly advanced
to the front, and began -a''self-laud-
atory review of his administration,
wherein he a couple of times per
sisted in stating- that $16,000 and
517, 000 make tqfetrpf ;$23. 000. If -
this is the method of addition he.JjgZ

it to
be several hundred dollars more.
For an expert 7accountant (?) to
make such ajnathematical blunder
is inexcusable. The burden of his
song was so familiar to his hearers,
and just what was expected, that
it did not attract much attention.
Another statement he made was
that the country already had too
manv laws whether he nip.-mf rnr
ticularly the depository law he did
uoc state wnicn aia not exactly
coincide with Thunder Furiously
Gantt's after remarks.
Joe Beeler was next called upon
to give his experience, which he
proceeded to do in conventional
populist style by assaulting- the
supreme court for not giving- an
opinion satisfactory to his ..views.
and intimating that it was wholly

it .all. He did not inform his hear-
ers that a. populist legislature had
stepped outside the bounds of the
state constitution and increased
the'supfeme court by calling the
additions thereto "commissioners"
and giving them equal powers with
the regularly elected judges. Each
of the three political parties in Ne-
braska was to be represented upon
this commission republican, dem
ocratic and populist. He did not
say. that Judge Ragan, who repre
sents the populist party as a su
preme court commissioner, had dis-
covered nothing partisan in the
aecision or tiie court upon tne mat-
ter of irrigation, and did not file a
dissenting opinion therefor. "Tell
