FEW POLITICAL POINTS
County Attorney Travis Shies
His Castor In the Ring
For the Judicial Plum
However Ha Lout What Little Entt- u
'iHm He Hd When he Cama

ing At )U
The seething political caldron is
quite busy just now, and huge
clouds of vapor are filling the air
with all kinds of gossip. The Oilier
dav County Attorney Travia-wM-VtuM
county was here, ostensibly on a
'.sit to County Attorney Morgan,
but in reality to see if there would
beany chance for him to secure
the democratic nomination for
judge of this judicial district. Two
years ago Travis was a howling re
publican but renounced hin party
taitli to get an olhce. He did uol
get much comfort here, for every
one who knouua Judge Chapman
favors his return to his present
seat, so Mr. Travis went home with
his office seeking enthusiasm quiet
ly but persistently oozing away
Next we will hear of him yelling in
the alliance ranks in hopes of get
ting a state office.
The independent are now knoting
their brows over the question of
putting in nomination a candidate
for the judgeship. Last Tuesday
portion of the county central com
mittee met at Syracuse to discuss
the matter and it ended in Messrs.
Tipton of Nebraska City, Cambell
of Syracuse and Daldwie of Palmyra
being selected as a committee to
confer with the Casa county inde
pendents on the subject. As yet
nothing has been done, but a call
for a judicial covention will be forth-
oming in a short time. Nebraska

According to declarations of cc
tain Insurance companies, it
probable that an objection will be
made on the part of the vompanie
to insuring live slock running in
pasture fenced by barb wire, as the
losses in a great measure are due
aa reported by the farmers,
lightning in connection with the
wire fence. In the majority of
cases stock is killed while standing
near the wire, owing to the good
qualities of the wire aa a conductor
of electricity, lieciiuse 'of the wire
fences the risk of insurance compa
nies is greater.
CASS COUNTY AT LINCOLN.
Our
Fruil
IvLMWOOI) ITEMS
to
EnterprieintJ Florin! and
Grower to Compete
Among, the enterprises of which
Cass county feels justly proud is
the fruit and plant growing estab
lishment conducted by W. J.Hesser
at his home six miles south-west of
this citv.
Mr. Hesser has very appropriately
denominated the place, and it is
universally spoken of as "Hesser's
Picnic Gardens," presumably named
thus because of its peculior adapt
iveness to picnic parties, and of the
frequent outings that are held
there.
Mr. Hesser not only supplies the
home trade with an abundance of
all kiads of fruit ami plants that
can be possibly grown here, but his
reputation as a florist has become
known throughout 'he state, mid
when the wealthy citizens of many
of our large cities desire to secure
an elaborate collection, their wants
are always supplied at the Picnic
Gardens.
The public spirited proprietor
does not underestimate the value of
advertising, and never fails to avail
himself of every opportunity to
show his plants, and thus place
their merits prominently before the
public As has been bis custom for
several years, Mr. Hesser will have
an exhibition at the state fair- a
display that can not fail to add
greatly to his reputation as a florist,
mid be a great credit to the county
TlIK HKKAI.n reporter had theprivi
lege of gazing upon the plants aftei
they had been placed in the car
and upon beingconfronted with the
task of picturing the st'ene on
paper, we are nt a loss to find words
adequate to do it justice; auffice to
say there were two cars well filled
with plants of all sues, varieties
and natives of nearly every country
on the globe. Some of those which
seemed the most interesting were
the banana, of which he has several
varieties; pine-apple; orange, which
by the way, has fruit sufficiently
developed to compare with a large
walnut. lie has palm trees from
China, Australia, West Indies an
Japan; from the last named he has
on hand 000 plants, and he has a
bill of 300 more that will arrive in a
few days. Doubtless Mr. Hesser's
display .will compare favorably
with, if not excel, that of any com
petitor.
Look out for JOE'S

little Charley Deardsley wasdrag
geJ aix or eight roils, Tuesday
evening by a cow, but was not seri
ously hurt. He got the rope tied
around ilm arm and fell down and
might have been killed had not
Hilly Ince stopped the critter.
John Reefer, who with his family
went to California, over a year ago,
hasretiirn-d to old Cass county
fully sallslied that mortal man can
not liv on climate and fruit. John
thinksof opening up an implement
store in Alvo.
F'liiiiftW S.'iker furniohed amuse
ment for the bystanders Tuesday
by rilling his cow through the
streets; but when near the post
office Frank:e got too "foxy"' and
tickled the cow in the Hank with his
toe. She responded by a sprightly
nick that sent her young rider
ln-adfitHt to the ground, but fortu
nately he was not hurt.
The C County Fair '
Many people inquire of us on what
tlate the county fair will be held,
but we are unable to inform them
aa no notice ot it has ever heen
sent to this office, and we cannot
find a bill or premium list in town.
- i , i in wood e.cno.
TllK IlKKAI.Ii is able to state,
uithoritatively, that Iheedi.orof the
Fxho received the same information
pertaining to the fair that was sent
other papers in thecounty. He was
also sent a complimentary ticket
and a special letter of invitation.
Several premium lists and posters
were sent to Kluiwood and vicinity
as well.
!t isppenrs to tie. that the pre
tended ignorance of the matter on
the part of the Kcho is manifested
for the purpose of injuring the ftir
but we cannot see that this is a
wise course to pursue, as it is held
in the interests of thecounty, and
we expect Khnwood and vicinity to
receive its share of the benefits.
For the- benefit of the Kcho
we again state that the officers have
left nothing undone that, in their
judgment, would contribute to a
successful fair. Indications are
Jhat it will surpaas all others ever
held In tlie county. The dates are

and Winter. The invitations were
very ircneral antl from the number
present it would seem that all in

the very finest order were served
from nicely decorated tables and as
the evening was pleasant, guests
were allowed the full freedom of the
grounds; so that with even the large
number present, there was rooiu
for all. It was not until a late or
rather an early hour, that guests
said good bye, and the general
verdict of those present is thatitwas
one of the most enjoyable aocial
gatherings of the season. Murray
