Nehawka Farmers Yesterday Take Steps to
Effect Permanent Organization for the
Purpose of Handling Their Crops.
The farmers in the vicinity of Ne
hawka met yesterday at that stirring
little city and considered the advisability
of taking steps looking towards the
marketing of the products of their
farms. There were about forty hus
bandmen present, and in addition a
number of representatives for other
places, among which were Murray,
Avoca and Manley, at which places
there are co-operative farmers eleva
tors. The matter of the establishment of
the Farmers' Co-operative Grain Com
pany for Nehawka, was discussed, " and
all the light possible was furnished by
those in a position to know. In the
meeting called to effect the organiza
tion, Frank Cox was made chairman,
while Ernest Young was selected as
secsetary. They agreed to articles of
incorporation similar to those which
were adopted by the Cedar Creek and
Murray elevator companies. After
considerable discussion the capital stock
was placed at $6,000, and the shares
were placed at the par value of $25.00

A soliciting committee, six in number,
was placed in the field to see what can
be subscribed and report at the next
meeting, which is called for February
4th, at which meeting the by-laws will
be considered and probablv adopted. A
committee was appointed to make ap
plication to the Missouri Pacific railway
company for a site and also to receive
offers from either of the two elevators
at that place now, and owned by H. M.
Pollard and A. F. Sturm, should they
be disposed to sell or to make. a propo
sition to sell, as it is considered that it
is not the desire of the farmers to in
jure any one, and should either of. the
elevators now running wish to sell at a
reasonable figure, it would be to buy in
stead of building. In drawing up the
articles of incorporation they were made
to read for a twenty years term. With

Wants a Helpmate.
The editor and proprietor of the Sac
City (Iowa) Vidette, who is a lady, feels
somewhat "ruffled" because she lost
the county printing, which she claims
she was entitled to. And feeling that
she needs a man to do her fighting and
swearing, she taken advantage of the
leap year, "proposes" through her
newspaper as follows:
"A constant fight for what rightfully
belongs to her is a wear and tear'onthe
nervous system of a woman, and we
have come to the belief that in order to
stay in the newspaper work, and main
tain our health, we will have to marry
some good printer who can do the fight
ing and swearing for us. This is leap
year and may be considered as a pro
posal by any-one who would be quali
fied to fill the vacancy so evident in the
Vidette office."
G. A. Craig, the bachelor editor of
the Lytton Star, believes that a pro
posal of marriage coming from such a
talented woman could not be turned
down, has written his acceptance. In
the last issue of his paper he says:
"We believe we are eligible to fill
the vacancy which Sister Sohm feels
exists in her print shop. We're a Mis
souri democrat of forty years standing,
considered a good printer; as to our
fighting qualities, suffice to say we come
from a family that kisses and on the
swearing proposition our press feeder
says that we'd be there with the goods,
as we swear in seven different lan
guages at once when things go wrong
on press nights.
"But before we would agree to take
up fair Lizzie's burdens she would have
to show credentials as to her eligibility
to the vacancy which we have known
existed for some time at our wigwam.
She must know how to make pancakes,
fry ham and eggs and make good cof
fee; she must have the staying quali
ties to chase a dirty shirt up and down a
washboard until it becomes clean, she
must know how to darn sox and the
gable end of our trousers, etc. If the
fair editoress feels like filling a vacancy
for the vacancy being filled, we might
make a swap."

THE YOUNG LADY
Leap Year Experimenting is
Indulged in by a Gay
Group of Girls
A jolly crowd of young ladies visited
visited at the home of John Hiber last
evening and completely surprised Miss
Jessie Duffy by a "linen shower,"
planned by Misses Alice Ofe and Fran
ces Hiber. The evening was very de
lightfully spent in music, games and
social conversation.
This being leap year, all were inter
ested in the practice of "proposals"
and each lady gave her "opinion as to
how one should be made, and it may
not seem strange to note the effect of
some of those proposals. At a late
hour a delicious luncheon was served by
Misses Ofe and Hiber. Much laughter
was indulged in when Miss Duffy dis
covered a cunning little "Teddy Bear,"
and a doll of soap and wash-cloths
among the things showered down upon
her.
The invited guests were Mesdames

The Kearney Democrat says : ' 'When

The Journal office has been afflicted
with its share of bad colds so prevalent
in this community. The editor, local

a turn at it, and two or three have been
compelled lay to off at once. With this
condition of affairs, our readers will par

have not been entirely up to date.
It is easily to discern editor post
masters throughout the country. They
all carry a double-column picture of
Willie Taft at the head of their editorial

want to hold the snap as long as possible.
Many republicans who do not indorse
Grover Cleveland are nevertheless voci
ferous these days in proclaiming his
doctrine against the pernicious activity
of federal officeholders. Under Mr.
Cleveland no postmaster or other feder
al officeholder was allowed to take an
active part in politics. Why not the
same under the Roosevelt administra
tion? A federal officeholder now is not
only compelled to take a prominent part
in politics, but he is called upon to sub
scribe liberally to the republican cam

Mr. Bryan Doubts the Existence of Reputed
Committee to Ask llim Not to Enter the
Raco Denver Convention.
A special from Washington under
date of January 28, says that Mr. Bryan
authorized for publication tonight the
statement that if there was a commit
tee in Washington or elsewhere, the
purpose of which is to wait upon him
and induce him to withdraw as a pos
sible democratic candidate for the pres
idency, the committee has not materi
alized. Mr. Bryan doubts its existence.
His position as to his candidacy has not
changed. He is not seeking the nomi
nation, but will accept it if the rank and
file of the party decide that he is the
best man to make the race. He said
further that his judgment on the matter
will not be swayed by the council of a
few men or a few papers whose loyalty
to the party is of a doubtful character,
but will be determined by the millions
of men who have stood by the party
since long berore 1893.
This statement was given to the press
by a confidential friend of Mr. Bryan,
who has always been chosen to make
announcements in behalf of the demo
cratic leader when a direct statement
from him in quotations did not seem
politically advisable. The statement if
carefully edited could have been put in
five words, "Mr. Bryan wants the nom
ination." Mr. Bryan feels that he is certain to
be elected against any man the repub
licans can name, and under these cir
cumstances the nomination has become
altogether too valuable to him to per
mit it to be pried from his grasp. The
thought of a voluntary relinquishment
of the prize is absolutely impossible.
The Bryan Opposition Fled.
Mr. Bryan has been in Washington
two days. He came preceded by the
apparently well founded report that if
there developed among the "real dem
crats" any substantial opposition to his
renomination he would withdraw. This
LITTLE CHILD IS
BADLY BURNED
Falls Backward Into a Pot of Boiling
Water and is Badly Scalded
Yesterday afternoon, while Mrs.
Leonard Murray, was about her work,
and had just poured the boiling water
off of a pot of beans which she was
cooking, and stepped out of the room,
their little daughter Florence, four
years old, in her play, stepped back
wards and stumbling, fell into the vessel
containing the water, wedging herself
so she could not get out. The screams
of the burning child attracted her
mother who rushed to her assistance,
and pulling her out was horrified to find
the child badly scalded. Dr. Hall who
lives but a short distance away, was
called and dressed the burns, which in
some manner relieved the suffering of
the little one, though she suffers much
yet. It was fortunate a physician was
so close and the steps were taken so
soon to give relief to the little ones
sufferings, or the case would have been
much the worse.
THEY HAVE BEEN
MARRIED SIX YEARS
And 7iih Friends in Omaha
are Celebrating Event
in Proper Style
Today
This being the sixth anniversary of
the marriage of our genial townsman,
John Nemetz, he and his good wife
went to Omaha where they will cele
brate the event with eclat and a gen
eral good time. They departed this
morning for . the metropolis, and John,
with wise forethought took some pres
ents along that he might be sure and
have" a plenty on hand when the time
came for their distribution.
Threatened With Pneumonia.
A. Zitka, living on Wintersteen Hill
has been confined to his bed for about a
week, very sick, and having a hard
tussle with a threatened attack of pneu
monia. The physicians who have been
attending upon him have hoped that
they might avert the disease, and have
labored to that end, with what at pres
ent appears with somewhat of success.
Mr. Zitka is feeling somewhat im
proved and hopes are now entertained
for his being able to avert the threat
ened attack.
E FEU
I announcement was interpreted mis
takenly to mean that if such opposition
were really felt by those democrats
who had fought for him in his previous
campaign and they should tell him about
it now he would quit. But it develops
that a "real democrat," according to
the Bsyan definition, is one who is al- .
ways for the nomination of Bryan under
any and all circumstances. That ' mis
taken interpretation led several influ
ential democrats to say privately that
they were against another campaign
with Bryan as flag bearer and to ex
press their intention of informing him
of their opposition at this opportunity.
Up to the time of his arrival thene
men were as valiant as an army with
banners. But Bryan came here fresh
from a little investigation of his own,
conducted down next to the soil, and the
yells that had greeted him throughout
it were still ringing in his ears. The
valor of his opponents fled tumultuously.
In these two days not one of them has
ventured to suggest to him an intima
tion of a limit that there could be any
possibility of a shadow of objection to
his being the democratic candidate not
only this year, but as often as he likes, .
and he is young enough to make six
more races before he reaches the age at
which "Uncle Joe" Cannon is now a
candidate.
No Opposition, Bryan Believes.
Mr. Bryan scouts the idea of any op
position to his nomination in Denver.
He said several times today that he was
ready and eager to meet the "guardians
of the party," but that none of them,
had appeared. It was not for that pur
pose, however, that he came to Wash
ington. It was to talk over with sena
tors and representatives certain pro
jects of legislation, which are of inter
est to the democrats and out of which
they can make campaign material.
MEMBER GIVEN
A RECEPTION
The Knights and Ladies of
Security Give Farewell
to Their Depart
ing Member
Last evening at the pleasant home of
R. B. Windham occurred an affair of
much gayety, the occasion being a re
ception in honor of Mrs. P. F. Brown,
who is to depart tomorrow for her fu
ture home in San Bernardino, Cali
fornia. A delightful program was
presented, being made after the assem
blage of the guests, and consisted of
musical numbers by Mrs. W. C. Tip
pins and Mrs. George L. Farley, while
Bennie Windham gave a reading or
two which were par excellence in char
acter and the manner delivered. John
nie Falter also gave a reading in negro
dialect which was well received and
showed much merit, having the effect
of bringing down the house.
After the program was concluded,
some hypnotism was practiced which
was wonderfully mirth inspiring.
Judge Beeson of the probate court was
turned into a rooster, and crowed loud
and long. Judge Douglass readily
assumed tne characteristics of a sheep,
while others were made to represent
various other animals. A splendid
lunch was served and all were well
pleased with the evening's entertain
ment. In departing all wished Mrs.
Brown a safe journey to her home in
he west and a prosperous life therein.
Probably Only a Rumor. .
The report wa3 current this morning
that word had been received here tell
ing of the death of C. S. Polk, formerly
of this place. Since going to Idabo,
has heen in very poor health. It has
been known for some time by his friends
at this place that he has been in a very
bad condition with a complication of
rheumatism and Bright's disease. Let
ters from his bedside only a few days
since tell of his condition as being very
bad. Some time since he was taken to
Hot Lake, Oregon, which is a health re
sort for the treatment of rheumatism.
After having remained there for some
time he was brought back to Boise.
Idaho, where he has been making his
home, and it is from there that letters
telling of his bad state of health are re
ceived. For Sale to highest bidder. , Must be
