Skinner, of tne dcpiwtim nt of uublic instruction, informs us tliat "tin; Btlee tiou of the oldenrod was due pi incipnll v to the fact that the country district did not promptly s nil in the result of the Votes taken in the country district schools. This r. suit whs mxle public on th .first of July. Additional repot ts wlili citna in from tli; c-nintry district reduced the plurality f the golden rod to about 600. and it is very pmlmlilv that if all the school com.nis-ioncrs of thu state had reported t us the rust; would have been cnoosui instead ef the oldf-nnid. The cities voted largely for :l: J v ' n rod." The city children evidently hid u bet ter idea of what they wnnt;-d than the country children, and this is not sti tinge. To them the goldenrod, which they see mostly duriDg the summer vacation, is the flower associated with the pleasant days of recreation, days of sunshine, of freedom and enjoyment. This flower will not grown, h ss in tin ir esteem, and the better they know it the more will they admire it. Vick'sMagazine for De cember. Be Fair. The Weeping Water Republican has but recently discovered that the com missoncr business was a fraud. It was not a fraud two years ago win nan election was called on a petition without investigation and which contained scores of names written by one man, merely to fill up and be counted. Of course that was fair from the Republican standpoint because it was in ths interests of Weep ing Water. But now that the board proposes to look into the petition and count only those entitled to it under the law there is a great howl. The commis sioners have stated positively that the elaclion shall be called promptly after thfy have investigated the petition, if . . . i -. - . - . . .-wl in pnntnln 1 1 m rr- trr-i pcuuuu - qmred number of names of legal voters. What more could an honest man ask for? What more could a community in fair ness ask for? The petition is presented at a time when the board by law is com ,.n.i in ml,-" settlement with the ICllu w county treasurer; that duty can not be neglected to please the fancies of any petitioners; ytt the board has and is spending much of it3 time on this peti tion; but they dare not do so to the exclusion of other business simply that tho election may be called a day or a week sooner. This spirit of spite and hatred towards Plattsmouth is the only reason wby certain men have made them selves prominent in signing and circula ting this petition. We have not a word of criticism against any. person whose interests would be subserved by a c tange to Louisville, in his advocating that theory. But to see Todd, Pollard and others whose only desire is to injure some one, working to have the co it house moved farther away from tbem, would be ridiculous wtre it not born of such malice and hatred. They arc will ing to lose one dollar if they can make a Plattsmouth man lose ten, a line basis indeed for a county seat fight. Take the business men of Weeping Water, is it to thir interest to build up a competitor ne?iAby? Would they do it on business principles? Or is it solely spite worn? To an outsider it seems the latter, and to our personal knowleJge there are scores of men in Weeping Water who are not built that way and who will vote square ly for self interest, which is to have the county seat remain where it is, or else have it mved to Weeping Water. The Hekald wishes to be fair in this matter throughout and we like to see the same spirit manifested by our adversaries. Judge Ramsey has issued 188 marriage licenses eo far this year. The query is. will he reach the number of 200 by Jan uary 13th, as that is the number issued by Judge Russoll for the same period last yar. Mrs. Demaris Kay, wife of Dr. Kay of Nebraska City, a resident of that titin ir.w died Tuesday ineht at the Dllivu - - . home of her daughter, Mrs. J. K. Keith- ley, in Weeping Water, where she h been visiting. The remains were take to Nebraska City, where a large con course of people attended the last sad rite over the body of the departed. 1 AttoChurchws. I The entertainment nt tin?

Tho Herald calls the petitioners for the county seat removal "cranks" Never mind Polk there are just about enough of these cranks to relocate.they are smart enough too, to make it very disagreeable for the Plattsmouth ring. Weeping Water ReDublican. Wc don t care whnt you do to the "Plattsmouth ring" the rinor has no love for tae Herald. We haven't any fears in regard to the county seat, it will remain right where it is, but you can afford to be fair and correct a false impression as the Herald has never called anyone a crank in reference to county seat matters. We printed a clipping from the Sarpy County Republi can which said something of that kind but the Eagle of Weeping Water printed the same thing; why don't you go for Harry Race. Some of the residents of school dis trict No.72, are determined to have a school there as well a big lawsnits. They have established a subcription school, with Miss Laverta Morse as teacher.

The telegraph operators have turned thiir south window atths depot into a conservatory. Yesterday morning they took colored tissue paper and hxed things up in the window so that from the platform it looked like a fine ilcral exhibition and attracted much favorable comment from the crowd, which did not know anything about the tissue paper.
