Citizens' -.Ticket.
A number ot voters met at the
office ot I. A. Fort Tuesday even-
wid placed in nomination the
following ticket:
Mayor August Ilazencamp.
Clerk George Dowlen.
Treasurer VV A. Getty.
Councilmen First ward A. M.
M asou, Second ward 13. P. McGrew,
filial ward David Scott.
The platform adopted is: Econ
omy in the conduct of city affairs
and the enforcement ot law. This
platform is certainly broad enough
to suit anyone, and yet indefinite
as to cettain matters. If it is pro
posed to enforce the Slocumb liquor
law to tl e exact letter of the law it
means prohibition.
Platto Vallqy. Colonisation.
Fifteen thousand is the number
of-peopie the Union Pacific rail
way hopes to bring into Nebraska
and locate along the Platte river
valley. That the home coloniza
tion project ot this railroad was so
vast as this had not been imagined
hut Immigration Agent George L.
McDonough of the system said yes
terday that he had room for about
that many and intended to put
them in if untiring energy could do
it.
The local colonization scheme
has two features. First, the rail
road has determined upon Duuk
ards as the exclusive colonist class
for tluo project. The thrift, supe
rior agricultaral husbandry and
general high moral standard of
these people inlluenced the choice.
The other feature is the method
which the road has employed to
gain .the desired end. t has put
the matter into the hands of a
Dunkard himself, and a prominent
one. Mr. McDouough is of Hint
faith and is known the country

that have elapsed since then he has
been busy among his brethren and
the wholesale migration is about to

The Dunkards arc to be brought
from Illinois, Indiana and as far
cast as Pennsylvania. The idea
that is strongest in prevailing
upon them to move is that they can
sell their present iarm holdings lor
$125 or $150 an acre, come to Ne
braska and buy better laud for $25
an acre.
