Ludwig Baege, superintendent of
the McPherson national cemetery, was a
caller at this office Wednesday. "We
found him a pleasant and agreeable
gentleman. It was his second visit to
North Platte Eince taking charge of the
cemetery early last spring.
Elsewhere in this paper may be
found a letter1 upon political matters by
C. A Sibloy, a,farmex of Buchanan pre
cinct Since Mr. Sibley's arrival in
"Lincoln county he has suffered the usu
al adversities incident to pioneer life,
and yet he does not attribute all his ills
to government mismanagement.
The beet sugar factory has 28 tanks,
each containing 4000 gallons of syrup,

Seventy-two men went to work this

until about the 24th mEt., when the
manufacture of sugar from beets will
begin. Grand Island Independent.
S. Hoagland returned Tuesdav
night from Perkins county and the
southern part of this and Dawson coun
ties, where he devoted a week to cam
paign work. The Senator was greeted
by large and enthusiastic audiences at
each point at which he spoke. In that
section he found exceedingly few repub
licans who were carried away with the
free silver craze, while he encountered a
number of populists who were unde
cided as to whether they would cast
their vote for Bryan electors.
At the council meeting Tuesday
evening the contract for painting, haul- j
mg and setting up the street lamps was
awarded to A. Picard at a price of $30.
A motion prevailed asking the mayor to
request all business men to close their
stores one hour before and during the
performance of the Wild West Show in
this city on the afternoon of October
12th. There was considerable discussion
over the question of citizens purchasing
and erecting street lamps, and it was fi
nally agreed that private lamps erected
at places designated by the council will
be maintained free of cost to the party
erecting the same. The city will main
tain headquarters office in some part of
town during the fair week, and the
mayor was authorized to purchase a flag
and fling it to the breeze over the office.
Twelve special policemen will be on duty
during fair week, and the following men
were selected: First Ward, C W. Brooks,
Harrv Mangold, Syl Friend. Conrad
Walker; Second Ward, D. A. Baker, J
K. Ottenstein, Til Casey, Thomas
Hughes; Third Ward James Downie,
Bud Cridlebaugh, and two to be selected
by councilman Scott. The clerk was in
structed to advertise for bihs for fur
nishing oil and taking care of the street
lamps for the mon'h of October. Bids
will read so much per lamp. The com
mittee on streets and grades made a re
port upon the work performed upon the
road leading to the fairgrounds, in whu h
it was staled that the contract IihU been
faithfully executed, but more work was
necessary to make the road complete.
The committee will make a further re
port. 2EHAEKABI3 GEOWTS OF VEGETATION.
Editor Tkibcke: While it is true
that here in Nebraska we occasionally
have what may very properly be termed
an '-off year;" when Dame Nature is kind,
and concentrates her powers in the right
direction, it is doubtful whether auy
locality is as favored as that "Whero
the Platte Forks."
The following story may seem incred
ible to our eastern readers, but knowing
the soil and climato as we do, there
sterns nothing remarkable about it, and
we give it without fear of our veracity
being called into question.
Not far up from the mouth of Cotton
wood canyon there has lived for a num
ber of years a small farmer and rancher
named Veritas, His humble home wa
located perhaps fifteen feet above the
bottom of the canyon in order that the
danger from the floods which occasion
ally sweep down might be averted. Last
spring in his garden patch lying below
the garden, he planted a few hills of a
famous variety of Equash, which even in
the effete east has been known to at
tain remarkable size. The seed germi
nated quickly and being sheltered by
the sides of the canvon, the Young vines
developed rapidly, one of them running
down and across the canyon, and start
ing a specimen of its fruit right m the
bottom. This particular squash seemed
to possess a capacity for growth that
was almost startling, and by the latter
part of July it had almost filled the bed
of the canyon, and was still continuing
to increase in size.
One day during the last week in Au
gust one of the sudden and violent
storms for which the country is noted,
broke upon the hills Jiround the head of
the canyon, and in a short time a tor
rent of water came rushing dewa its
little valley. The squash was a barrier
it could not overcome, and being deflect
ed from its course, it swept away the
cabin of our friend Veritas. He "had,
however, sufficient warning to enable
him to save the greater portion of his
affects. After the storm had subsided

and he had recovered from his alarm,
he decided to utilize the squash as a
place of residence, and therefore opened
up a door in the side of it, removed ten
or a dozen loads of its seeds and pulp,
cut some windows, built a chimney and
moved in. He tells us that with the ex
ception of its being a little damp for the
first week or so, it has proved to b9 a
very comfortable residence.
The managers of the irrigation fair
are now negotiating with Mr. Veritas,
and if-s'uccessfal, this unique produc
tion of a prolific soil will be on exhibi
tion at North Platte next month.
Yours very truly,

UNCLE JAKE AKD HIS 1I0ETGAGE.
Editor Tribune In the Era of the
10th inst. may bo found a partial re
port of candidate Green's speech deliv
ered at tho court house the Saturday
previous, with one illustration exempli
fying the beauties of free silver given
in full I allude to Uncle Jak9 and the
way he paid his mortgage. To the
most casual reader it will be seen that
Uncle Jake came so suddenly into pros
perous circumstances because his mort
gage did not double up with every other
thing mentioned. But what of the
other side? Suppose my neighbor wid
ow S was the mortgagee, having at
at the death of her husband been the
recipient of 2,000 from the A. O. U. W.
She expends 81,000 in the pa ment of
outstanding debts, burial expenses, and
small legacies, and at the solicitation of
Uncle Jake loans him the remaining
61,000. From the interest of this and
the proceeds of her own industry she
expects to keep together her little fam
ily of six children and have them be
come worthy citizens of our country.
'Vhen Uncle Jake pays her the money
how does it effect her? Why she finds,
according to Mr. Green's reasoning, the
purchasing power of the money just
one-half of what it was when she made
the loan. While Uncl9 Jake is enjoy
ing the good things p'ctured, his mort
gagee is obliged to deny herself and
family, and we find that Uncle Jake
made his money entirely out of the
widow, which the law would place in
his power. My illustration is a living
reality and is actually in such circum
stances as to be effected by this free
silver cure, and it will be found by in
vestigation that the great bulk of farm
loans are held by savings institutions
and people of moderato means people
in no better circumstances ana who
have to toil for their living just the same
as the Uncle Jakes of our land.
Mr. Editor can it be that tho con
science of the people has so far gone
astray that such a dishonest doctrine
can be openly advocated and find assent
ing hearers; Mr. Beeler can you read
the Uiide Jake story aad wonder that
you are called repudiator and debt
Ecaiers? And Mr. Railroad man wh- re
do you stand in the Uncle Jako pro
gramme, da van .suppose -ashiJe pepo
crats are doubling up values they will
nllow the railroads to double up freight
and passenger rates? Don't you know
that if the roads received depreciated
money thpy will pay the samo kind to
you, and won't you stand in identically
the samo predicament of Uncle Jake's
mortgagee, that while everything else is
doubling up your pay will remain sta
tionary? The Uncle Jake s'ory al?o
shows us that Mr. Green stands firmly
in accord with the republican position,
that free coinage by the United States
alone means silver monornetalisni: that
the rise in the price of commodities will
come not from any increased demand
but that the yard-stick that measures
values has been cut in two pieces.
There never was a year from the foun
dation of the republic until 1S96 that a
single state could be carried on the Un
cle Jake issue, and though there may be
enough voters in some states this "year
who have this silver dollar so uoar
th' ir eyes as to eclipse their ordinary
clear vision to carry them for this dis
honest proposition, tho country at large
will simply repudiate the repudiators.

Miserly Folly of Gold Boarders.
The gold currency of greenbacks and
Sherman notes is interchanged with the
silver currency of the Bland-Allison act
and its supplements every time a 20
bill is broken. And this, despite the
miserly folly of the hoarders of these
gold obligations, who, blinded by ava
rice, forget that the government's gold
stock would not last 24 hours after the
election of a free coinage president, and
that they would have only one chance
in live of getting to a subtreasury within
those 24 hours. New' YorkPress.
