Mrs. AuiLrose L'atterson and Miss Uoltbins came very n?ar losing their lives ou tlie 1$. & M. track on Friday, up by the old brewery. They were out with a horse and buergy and drove down the ravine past Harry How land's place, on the road to the water works pump house, and just as the c.'itne to the track an extra train came bearing down on them. Mrs. Tatter son sprang out iu time to catch the horse and turn his head sidewise of the track, but this was done so quickly that Miss Itobbins lost her balance and was thrown out upon the track. Fortu nately the train was a short one and the engineer was able to stop it a few feet from the prone girl. Ten feet more and the pilot would have struck her. The horse was so frightened at the noise of the engine that it broke away from Mrs. l'atterson and ran w ith the buggy down the track toward town. When near the upper switch house Omireis Dunn and Fitzpatrick caught it and saved a further mishap. Ken Miry Itiojele ltacea. The fifth annual state meet of the Nebraska division of the L. A.

Hasse. the most ef ficient clerk in Judge Ramsey's office is favorably mentioned as the candi date of the populist party for county judge at the coming election. There is no question as to her ability to fill the otlice. The Elmwocd Leader last week cel ebrated the Fourth by printing its edition on pink paper with blue ink. -A law passed by the last legislature provides that on and after the tirst Monday in July any person who shall kuowiugly permit or suffer any Rus sian thistle to grow on bis land, shall be deemed cuilty of misdemeanor and of maintaining a public nuisance, and on conviction thereof before any court having jurisdiction shall be punished by a fine of not less than ten dollars or more than one hundred dollars and costs of prosecution, and the finding of such thistle or thistles standing and growing on any such land after the date named in notice shall be prima facie evidence that the person owning or occupy ing the same or having the control thereof knew of and permitted the same to grow and remain thereon. W. II. Dealing of Plattsmouth our present efficient clerk of the district court, was in tow n this week shaking hands w ith his friends. He is a candi date for re-election to that cflice on the democratic ticket. Elmwood Leader. This is a great country. Every year we celebrate our independence by wasting more powder in one day than Washington and his armies had dur ing all the years they fought the Brit ish red-coats. The Hastings reunion camp ground has been christened Camp Sherman, in honor of "Old Tecumseh." Poor old Nebraska City has just been afflicted with bloomers, and the Press of that city has made the follow ing startling discovery: "The bloomers have made their appearance in Ne braska City. Bicycle riders were elated last evening at the discovery of a beautiful female clad in fin de siecle costume. Welcome the bloomers and welcome the new woman." The possibilities of rapid transit on the bicycle is only coming to light, liuret, the butcher's apprentice, ot Paris, last week rode 515 miles and 636 feet in twenty-four hours equal to 2H miles per hour, including stops. The first 200 miles was made at a rate of 24 miles an hour. "It was a very noticeable thing yes terday at the barbecue that those who wer- supposed to have plenly of food made the loudest clamor for something to eat, and were not courteous to the visitors. Such hogs should be labeled and slopped until they learn how to behave in public. Nebraska City News. It is hoped that the above does not refer to any of the Plattsmouth delegation. In the ten-mile bicycle road race at Nebraska City last Thursday, Win. Carriher of Union. this county, won the firat prize, while Morris Crissman, the ex-Plattsmouth printer, was second. "Of all the mean men I have run across," said Publisher Sherman of the Weekly Journal, I think the meanest is the man who will have a newspaper delivered at his house for months without ' paying for it, and then, after repeated promises to pay, when asked for the money, will claim that the boy didn't deliver it regu larlv." An eighteen-year-old boy named Edward Steffe, while bathing in the Missouri river near Gibson Friday afternoon, waded out beyond his depth and, being unable to swim, was swept away by the current and drowned. The bodv was not recovered. The presidential household at Gray Gables was enlivened Sunday after noon by the arrival of another girl baby. Mother and child are reported to be doing well. It is hoped now that the president will be in a better hu mor. We believe it has been demonstrated that Methodist ministers, under the itinerary system, do not move about, on the average, more than ministers to denominations which have the "call" plan .The Cabinet in this coun try does not change as often as thatin England, which has a permanent mon archy. P. S. How long would Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet have lasted in England? Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem. Among the many new, novel and in teresting features to be seen, at the state fair will be an alfalfa pal ace. The plant is jnst now attracting the attention of the farmers of the state, and its prolific yield, great profit with the least amount of labor seems lo have a magnetic or hypnotic influ ence upon them. At any rate alfaira is all the rage, and the farmer of this state who is not in possession of a "patch" is woefully behind in agricul tural matters. The palace is designed to bring clearly and forcibly to the attention of the farmers the many virtues of this wonderful nutritious plant to the end that it may become the hay of the future. Rev. Sam Jones says: "Wake up the chuich, preachers, if you have to lick an old deacon every Sunday morning. For every deacon you throw through the window 3,000 people will come to hear you." It is a good thing that the meeting of the National Teachers' association is being held in Penver this year. Many of the attending teachers are learning for the first time how large their country is and that t here is some thing west of the Mississippi river worth seeing. This is a valuable les son in itself. Bee. It is reported that there are a good many Russian thistles still growing on the slope and bar east of the 15. & M. tracks. It is the duty of the railway company to destroy these pests, when found growing on their property, and the county commissioners should notify the company of their, existence. The Omaha police are yet unable to discover how the body of John Seljan who was murdered in that city last Tuesday, was conveyed to the river. The men arrested all tell contradic tory stories and the case will probably be interesting. Death benefits amounting to $30, 600 were paid last month to the heirs of deceased members of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen, making a grand total of $2,913,413.70 paid since the brotherhood was organized. Allen Beeson, wife and daughter and Mr. and Mrs. label of Plattsmouth passed through town Weduesday en route for Elmwood to attend the cele bration. Mr. Beeson gave the Couiier office a short call and informed us that he was a candidate for the nomination of county judge on the republican ticket. Louisville Courier. liryrn SprHka in Kentucky. Congressman Bryan commanded the closest attention of a large audience at Frankfort. Kentucky, Saturday night in arguing for bimetallism. He said monometalits discuss the difficulty in maintaining the parity between the two metals, while bimetallists are more anxious to main tain the parity between the dollar and all other property. He quoted from Sherman, Blaine and Carlisle, showing that the destruction of silveras money and the adoption of the universal gold standard would increase the purchas ing power of the dollar and bring great embarassment to society in general while it would greatly benefit capital ists. He asserted that the masses favor bimetallism. The capitalists favor a gold standard as the most profitable to owners of money andj credit. He showed that a change in the ratio secured by increasing the size of the silver dollar would lessen the volume of money and make money dearer. He quoted Willim C. Corn well, president of the New York State Bankers' Association, as saying that the international bimetallism is a de lusion and a fraud, and he insisted that the United States should at once secure the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1, because it was pos sible for the United States to do so, and because there was no probability of international aid. A Word From Uarsliiuaii . Editou Journal, Plattsmouth, Neb: I saw an article in your paper about the wrestling match between George Harshman of Avoca and John Gosney of Benkleman, which occurred at Talmage, and stated that Gosney defeated Harshman. The way that was done was through Referee Biggs' ignorance in the fifth bout. Gosney was thrown twice thit upon the floor and the second time he was held there and I called to the referee to come and see if it was not a fair fall. The referee told us to get up, and then de cided it a foul. I refused to wrestle any more while Biggs refereed, as his decisions were the same all through the match, and it was too hard wTork to make Gosney say "enough' for the small sum of $50. It was no smart trick of them it was a dirty, low down, low-lived trick, and they be trayed im in confidence. They stole $50 of my money and gave it to Gos ney. Geo. Harshman, Jr. Avoca, Neb , July G, 1895. FA KM LOANS. .Last fall we were told that we could not borrow money or renew loans if Holcomb was elected eovernor.

I sent a vessel far, far out to sea, Its cargo was of hopes, as gay and bright As butterflies In summer, and as light As silver notes of merry, childish glee, I bade It bring fruition back to me, And watched it till it wavered out of Bight Against the far-off border in its flight, Unto the country of its destiny. The day wears on and it has not returned, But ships I wist not of have drifted in Laden with treasures that I would have spurned When youth was with me and unrest, its twin But dearer, dearer by a thousand fold Than that dream vessel I loved of old.
