A game of ball between the

From repots " oughout the
state in regard to 'he crop yield we
conclude that the outlook this year
is better than the average. Corn
was backward up to August, but
the favorable growing weather has
brought it nearly up to the aver
age. Ne?r Ha: ard report says
that it is well eared and stalks
measure ten and . .velve feet in
leng'h. The y leld of wheat is very
large. In some localities there be
ing ?n insufficient number of
machines to thresh f om the shock,
which necessitates stacking the
grain. On the whole the fc.ile
prairies of Nebraska this year will
yield bountifully of her richness,
and with 'he prospective good
prices fp-mers and business men
should rejoice in the anticipation
of a prosperous year.
Always take your prescriptions
t3 Brown cl Barrett s. tf
A leading democratic paper of
the state comments upon the action
of the democratic independents as
follows. "It's all right for these
demorats to go into independent
conventions, and nuthcmatlc the
old parties, but when election day
comes the most of them will walk
up to the polls and vote the
straight democratic ticket, as they
always done. Party ties seem to be
more binding on democrats than
on republicans and all this talk of
democrats going into independent
ranks tloes not alarm me at all."
The result in last fall's election
demonstrated plainly that the inde
pendent party was being used as a
cats paw by the democratic parly
and concessions of thi.s kind from
lending partisan papers show that
such is their object. The fact of
the matter is, as our friend says
"Party ties seem to be more bind
ing on democrats than on republi
cans" and past history shows that
they will not desert their party, let
it become contaminated with the
most despicable corruption con
ceivable; and now it is evident that,
if this new party amount to any
thing when it comes to a vote the
following will come from republi
can ranks. Now if we have griev
ances from which we wish to
seek redress, will the matter
not result in a more speedy ad
justment by remaining in the re
publican party than by formi lg a
new organization, which is being
engineered in the interests of the
democratic party? There was a
sufficient number of republicans
that left the republican party last
fall, that, if their strength had been
thrown into the republican nomi
nating convention, could have sug
gested the remedy for their ills that
they wished. Let us, as republic
ans, watch the snares of the democ
racy and work for our interests, not
for its success.
Enterprise.
We are glad to notice one indus
try in Plattsniouth. The enter
prising firm (?) of Osborne and
Critchfield has taken contracts to
furnish booths for use in the new
ballot system, which they are man
ufacturing in large numbers. They
furnish a large number of the
counties in the state with these
booths. It's undoubtedly a fact
that two men will be benefited by
the Australian ballot system.
"It Might Have Been"
This morning there occurred what
might have been a serious accident.
The team driven by Mr Smith was
drawing a load of coal up Main
street when Dr. Hall drove byr, his
buggy wheel catching the tongue
of Mr. Smith's wagon, breaking it
off close up to the place of attach
ment, causing the team to become
frightened and run. However a
halt was soon called and no other
damage resulted. Had the team
been allowed to proceed there would
undoubtedly have been a "smash
up" there being no means of steering
the wagpn. Things were fixed up
and still the work goes on. Dr.
Hall's buggy came near being
turned over. Caution should be
taken to prevent such accidents.
Indications are that the price of
all breadstuff's will be greatly en
hanced next year, as Europe will be
compelled to draw largely on the
American product, owing to the de
ficiency in production in those
countries whence Furope's support
chiefly comes. It i-s estimated by
good authorities that America will
be called upon for 218,000,000 bushels
of wheat, and probably more. It
appears that next y-ear is to be an
"inning ' for the farmer, and there
is no reason why he should not
have his turn. In the event of a
good crop, however, and good
prices.it will be a bad year for these
oily-tongued demagogues that ex
pect to attain distinction through
the inelrumen'.p'ity of the inde
pendent party.
Another New Church
For some time German Lutheran
people of Elmwood and sur
rounding country have been con
sidering the erection of a church
building there. A conclusion has
been arrived at and the committees
appointed, and Elmwood will be
blessed with another fine chu ch
edifice. The ground has been pur
chased just south of John Clements
residence on Gospel Hill and prep
arations are in progress. The build
ing is to be 26x40 and cost $1,200.
With this Elmwood will have five
tabernacles of worship, a showing
of which not many towns of three
hundred inhabitants can boast,
Bate Ball Note.
After all, Plattsmouth. Fremont
and Hastings apjoar to be the only
live towns in the state. They are
all hustler and all have good ball
teams.
Nebraska City 's crack team seems
to have faded like the tine before
the morning sun. The poor old
town can't afford a ball club it
seems.
We want to inform the dear pub
lic that if the team wins a majority
of their games, their return will
witness blue-tire ami brimstone.
The town will be theirs.
At Fremo nt Thursday the home
team defeated Missouri Valley by 7
to 5. Adams, our old second base
man, managed to run in a few er
rors but not enough to loose the
game,
Hastings, defeated Kearney at
Hastings by the score ef 10 to 4.
Conners, who pitched the second
game for Blair here, pitched for
Hastings and seems to have done
good work.
At Beatrice yesterday the Lincoln
Giants defeated the home club by
the score of 10 to 7. From all ac
counts we imagine that the visitors
had to fight the crowd and um
pire to win but they did it.
It looks now as if the Lincoln
Giants will disband after to-morrow's
game at Lincoln. They have
played fine ball but Lincoln is too
small a town to keep up a western
association team and a crack ama
teur team.
' And, by way of remark, we will
say right here that Yapp and
Creighton have come as near being
gentlemen, and good, hard effective
ball players, as anybody, our local
team has had this year. Our peo
ple realize this and they wont for
get it.
The team will probably be made
up as follows: Creighton and
Maupin, catchers; Yapp and Sam
Patterson, pitchers; Dunn, first
base; John Patterson, second base;
Miller, third base; Tom Patterson,
short; Clyde, left field; Schulhoff,
center field; Perriue, right field.
It is an aggregation of talent sec
ond tcrnone in the state and ought
to be a winner.
The B. & M's. start on their trip to
the Black Hills to-morrow morning
at 9:25. They have made arrange
ments to play ten games, all of
them with strong clubs. If they
win six of the ten they will do them
selves great honor. They play in
Lincoln with the Lincoln Giants to
morrow and will make a great ef
fort to redeem themselves from the
ignominy- of their three defeats.
They will present Yapp and Creigh
ton as a battel y probably-, and it
goes without saying that, so far as
battery work is concerned, they
will be in it.
F:. A. Stopher of Elmwood, is
enjoying a pleasure trip up in Can
ada and he writes back that Ne
braska knows nothing abo ut kickers
against the McKinley bill. He says
the Canadians up there go wild in
denouncing the bill as being
ruinous to their trade. What is
ruinous to foreign trade is advan
tageous to American trade. This
is what the McKinley bill is for.
It protects American products
against free importation of foreign
campetition of pauper made goods
Accidents on the B. M.
A freight train 6truck a hand car
near Louisville this morning, de
molishing the car, and breaking the
leg of the foreman, Joseph Galtzic,
Aside from this no one was
seriously hurt.
This morning as the Schuyler
train was pulling out of Ashland
at 8:30 Mr. II. C. Henry, who was
walking on the ' ack, appa-ently
not aware of the approaching train,
was struck and instantly killed.
Mr. Moore, the engineer in charge,
says that there was a construction
t-ain on the maintrack near Schuy
ler road, and in all probability Mr.
Henry thought the noise was from
the construction train. We are in
formed by Mr. Hackney that Mr.
Henry has been in the employ of
the B. & M. for about 15 years
and is very highly esteemed by all
who know him. Mr. Henry leaves
a large familyr wife and seven
children, who will bare the sym
pathy of all.
Now is the time to get a first class
single or light double harness be
low cost at W. G. Keefer, who is sel
ling out all his light goods to re
duce his mammouth stock.
