He had no op position in his own party or on the republican ticket, and, accord ing lo the primary election re turns from this and Cass county, he secured a sullicient number of votes lo place his name on all of the tickets, that is republican, democratic, socialist, prohibition and populist. He received a hand some vole at the hands of all parlies, which is indeed a deserv ed compliment. Judge Travis has served the people well and faith fully during the lime he has been judge and his re-election is an assured fact. Nebraska City News. Daughter Known Here. From TiiOHflny's Pnlly.

She has been at Shanghai, China, for some lime as a missionary, and is in her home country on a year's leave of absence. . LOG ROLL There Was a Large Attendance and a Genuine Good Time In General. The M. W. A. celebration at Nebawka last Saturday was a grand success in every particular. w ing to Hie pressure of business the Journal was unable lo send a 'reporter. Saturday is the worst day in the week for any of us lo gel away, but we b arn from those who were present from Platts inoulh thai there was an attend ance estimated all the way from 2, 000 o :,0(Mt. and that every thing passed oil' in a most credit able manner. While the camp here did not attend in a body, there was quite a number in at tendance from this city, but not as many as should have been present. The day was an ideal one for such a gathering, and those from (his city who were there say it was the greatest celebration of the Modern Wood men ever held in Cass county and one that reflects great credit up on the citizens of Nehawka. The celebration was held in Sheldon's grove, a most beautiful spot for such a gathering, and where the people could enjoy themselves under the shade of the spreading oaks and where the various races and sports of various kinds could be enjoyed with great pleasure, and where the people could enjoy the en chanting music of the celebrated Nebraska City band. lion. N. C. Pratt of Omaha was the orator of the day, and his excellent address was listened to with marked attention. There was plenty of amusements and every one seenied lo enjoy Hie event to the fullest extent, and went home in the evening feeling "that it was g( od to be t here." The good people of Nchavvka are to be congratulated upon the great success of this event. It was nothing more, however, than was expected of those who kno the capacity of those who have such mailers in charge. As the Journal has often said, Nehawka citizens never do anything by the half, and the Cass County Log Rolling association made tut mis take in locating their annual celebration at that place.

Whether Morley was able to keep the secret from the "boys" at Avoca until the great event oc curred Ihe Journal has. not yet learned.

The attendance was very good and Ihe way Ihe people turn out lo see the games is evidence of their appreciation of n homo talent ball team, which Cedar Creek can boas! of having to the man.

This olllce is the recipient of the largest watermelon that we believe was every raised in Cass county. Tuesday afternoon our good friend, Oliver (iilson, entered the Journal olllce carrvinif a melon thai weighed 52 pounds, which he presented u us, and it made us all open our eves in sur prise at its mammoth sbe. Mr. (iilson is living on the Edm'-rton place nearly opposite the (troche niour island, and has raised som very line melons, but this is the largest one, we believe, that has been grown in Cass county, ami shall contend that Mr. (iilson is entitled to Hie championship, un less someone comes in with a larger one. We haven't opened the whopper yet, and will not do so for a few days in order to give those who desire an opportunity to see it. Thanks, Mr. (Iilson, and may you live to raise many more just like Ibis one. Stark Brothers' Nursery Stock. P. E.
