"Vf( Have Been Shown."
Mr. Herman Hestor.one of the staunch
friends of the Journal, residing west
of riattsmouth. brought to this oftice
last Mnday a lot of apples of differ
ent varieties, including the "Autum
Mrawbarry" and the "Dutchess of
Oldenburg." Of course, "We are
froni Missouri," the land of the "Big
lied Apple," but "we have been
shown" that Nebraska, ami especially
that section known as Cuss county,
can compete with any other section
on earth for tine apples. The samples
Iwfore us are large and as Iteautiful as
we ever saw. This l-i saying a great
deal, but the "truth will out" even
with a newspaper ''man occasionally.
Mr. Hestor will not only please accept
the thanks of the Journal for "show
ing us" what Cass county can do in
this line of fruit growing, but also for
a sack of splendid eating apples.

FAREWELL RECEPTION
Tendered to Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Rouse
at Weeping Water.
On Friday evening, August 12tli, an
other reception was tendered I'rof. and
Mrs. K. I.. House, previous to their re
moval to this city. The Hoard of Edu
cation of Weeping Water had contem
plated giving the Professor and wife a
farewell reception, ami the ladies of
the Zetetic club having made similar
arrangements, it was decided to make
it a joint alTair, representatives of both
bodies assist ed in the grand affair. He
freshineus were served and an elegant
time was enjoyed by all present. The
two receptions given Mr. and and Mrs.
House recently, show the high esteem
in which they are held by the good peo
plil of Weeping Water. Pertaining to
the event, jveclip the following from
the Republican:
Altout nine o'clock Mrs. Woodford,
president of the Zetetic club rapped
for order and announced that they
would have a short program. R. .
Itoone then rendered a cornet solo,
"In Happy Moments." This number
called forth liberal applause, as did the
next one. a vocal solo by Miss Fannie
Hreece, "i Hisses and Hoses" in which
t he rend it ion w as pa it icularly pleasing.
This was followed by a vocal solo by
Mrs. Treat, a lullaby song, that
capt u red the audience, and was greeted
with much applause.
Mrs. Woodford then on behalf of
the Zetetic club, spoke of the regret at
losing Mrs. House, their love for her,
and her work in the club, to which
Mrs. Rous' resionded in a very clever
manner, thanking them for their kind
ness and trouble in preparing the
reception and speaking particularly of
the pleasant associations, and kind
ness shown them as strangers coming
to our town, that they had enjoyed
their live years of stay here and
would leave with many kind re
membrances. Mr. Pool on Ix-half of the board of
education sNkeof Mr. House's efficient
work, the high standard to which the
school had been raised, the harmony
that prevailed lietween the board and
Mr. House and also the patrons of the
school, and hoped that the change he
was altout to make would only be a
stepping stone to something better.
Mr. House rescinded with the usual
humorous story or two intermingled
and thanked all for their appreciation
of his services. He stated that he had
had the hearty co-operation of the
school board and they had granted
him what he had asked for, to make
the school lietter in many particulars.
The essentials necessary for a good
school, were: an efficient board, the
sympathy and helpof parents, students
desirous of learning, and a capable
superintendent; the former three he
was satisfied we had. but he was too
modest to allow the latter.
A grand inarch at a late hour ended
this most pleasant occasion.
He Stole a Belt.
Ward Harr was arrested Saturday
afternoon on the complaint of Julius
Hamge, who charged him w ith having
stolen a Iielt and some sword chains
from him last February. Barr ac
knowledged his guilt, and Judge
Archer tined him ,"i.00 and costs. His
employer went his security for the
amount, and he was allowed to depart.

El Ukno, Oklahoma, Aug. 14, '92.
Mb. Editok: As it seems to be the
custcm of those visiting Oklahoma to
express their views of the country
through your valuable columns, 1
thought by your kind permission, to
do likewise.
We arrived in El Iteno after a very
pleasant journey and were most agree
ably surprised to find my daughter
and family, Mr. and Mrs. Coon Stoehr,
so nicely situated. They have 160
acres of as good land as ever lay out
of doors, capable of producing any
thing. They have an abundance of
fruit of all kinds, peaches, pears, ap
ples, plums and cherries, and their
crops of small grain and corn is ex
cellent, oats going between 65 and 70
bushels to the acre. Wheat was only
about one-half crop, averaging about
14 bushels per acre, and his corn Is
tine, being almost matured and ready
to husk. Of course, all places are not
improved as well as theirs, as far as
orchards are concerned, but this only
verifies to us what the country will do.
Land is advancing rapidly in price,
Mr. Stoehr having been offered W.000
for his quarter.
We like the country so well that we
think of purchasing a half section, as
we feel certain that it will be a very
profitable investment.
We had the pleasure of visiting Mr.
A. J. Stinson and family and found
them enjoying the best of health, and
they seemed happy and contented.
They have just added another quarter
section of land to their farm, which
now makes them three quarter sec
tions. Mr. Stinson hauled the oats which
he raised on 43 acres right from the
thresher to the elevator and received
in return S1.120. Mr. Stinson and
family like the country and climate
better all the time.
We also met Mrs. Mollie May Held of
Burlington, Iowa, an old time resident
of El mood, at Mr. Stinson 's. Mrs.
Mayfield was looking at land and also
thinks of investing. Land is aivanc
ing so rapidly in price that my opin
ion is, those who wish to avail them
selves of a home in one of the best
countries one in which you can de
pend on a crop is to do so at once.
We called at Ernest Hayes' one af
ternoon, but as he was threhlng, we
did not have time to look over his
farm. His wheat is as good as the
rest, and his corn will make 50 bushels
per acre. They are all well and
pleased with their home.
Begging your indulgence for taking
so much of your valuable space, I re
main, - Respectfully,
