There is one comfort about tills weather
it is good for the crops. The frequent rains

The members of the Congregational church

rain in some neighboringlocalities was heavy.
The Grange Association of Bed Willow
county are maturing the necessary plans to
build a large flouring mill , to be owned and

The committee appointed for that purpose ,

Thanks to the carefulness ( ? ) of the con
ductor on freight number 12(5 ( , Saturday
morn nig , a number of delegates to the repub
lican county convention at Indianola , had the
pleasure of jumping oft the train , jor being
carried on to Baitley ) about a half-mile east
of the county-seat , while the train was mak
ing considerable speed.
The young tailor who , ( while recently lav-
ing his perspiring frame in the cooling
waters of the Republican , ) essayed to capture
a skunk with his coat , is very reticent about

everytime he approaches the shop door.
The friends of the Beaver bottom and slope ,
in the vicinity of Cedar Bluffs , suffered the.
destruction in part of a fine corn crop pros-
peer , Sunday , by hail of unusual size driven
by a stin ' gale. Torrents of water accompani-
ed the unwelcome hail , assuring an excellent
crop of that cereal , where the other and de-
structive element did not perform its work.
Both Indianola and Bartlcy , particularly
the latter , are agitating canal projects. The
Tribune insists upon being understood as
favoring everything and anything tending to
ward the prosperity of both , or either. But
the canal scheme needs the closest possible
scrutiny and investigation , or our sister towns
may have a costly piece of experimental work
on their Imiujs.
Water should always be swallowed slowly ,
It is not the stomach which is dry , but the
mouth and throat If you toss off a drink of
water you throw it through your mouth into
your stomach , without doing the former any
good , while you injure tiie latter by loading
it with what it does not require. Drink slow
ly , and keep the water in your month for a
moment when you begin.
The children of Lutheran Sunday School
participated in the delights of a picnic in
Boyd's park at mouth ot Driftwood on Tues
day of this week. A day of unlimited joy-
ousnessand pleasure unalloyed was their por
tion , that cool and shady nook echoing and
re-echoing their shouts of happiness and
peals of gladsome laughter ; while something
more tangible in the form of substantiate and
sweetmeats filled their cup of joy to overflow
ing. Give the children more frequent out
ings.

A Day's Jaunt on the Beaver.
The writer had the pleasure ot a drive over
that fair portion of lied Willow's domain , ly
ing between the chief city and Cedar Bluffs ,
Tuesday , in company with J. W. Dolan of
our sister city. A beautiful and fertile ex
panse of land stretches out before the enrap
tured view. Land only lacking the careful
husbandman's faithful hand to make it blos
som like the rose , and bring fortli fruit in
abundance. Oh , the country needs farmers I
Thousands' upon thousands of acres of pro
ductive land are to bo seen on every hand
waiting to be only tickled for a bounteous
harvest. The thought that oppresses the
mind continually is , "The harvest is great ,
but the laborers are few. " A drive over this
section is a most eloquent immigration ser-
iiion. The weary and hungry townsmen
swooped down upon Lemuel Daniels about
noon time and made a raid on the family
larder of a most destructive character. Lem
uel is one of tiie "oldest settlers , " having lo
cated on the beautiful and fertile quarterscc-
tlou now occupied by him in 187a , himself
and the Boyerboys being the first to come in
and possess the land. The Beaver creek ,
with its deep green fringe of large trees ,
winds its tortuous course tluough his farm ,
for which § 20 an acre would not bo an overi
tempting price. Time and cultivation will
work a wonderful transformation in that
promising section , which only lacks the farm-
j eiJs prcsenco and labor.
Keenly Disappointed.
We state the proposition mildly when we
remaik that great disappointment prevailed
among ' all lovers of the national gamelTues
day afternoon , when it became known that
|
the game arranged between the "Famous"
and ' "Yunias" for that time , would not be
played. Large and unusually intense interest
j had centred on the game. Persons were here
.
from different points to witness the same ,
\
which had been widely advertised. The
Yujjja cjub , wjth a stiff backing of citizens
from : that buig , were on baud. But objection
was made to allowinga certain new Yuma
the box while the "Yunias"
man i occupy , ob-
jected ; to the "Famous" umpire , who alleges
that , the boys from the west attempted to
bribe , him , the boys from the west claiming
that the umpire had money up on the game ,
etc. There was crimination and recrimina
,
tion , and whatever the bottom facts are , the
game \ did not occur. Considerable bad feel8
ing S was stirred up among the base ballists ,
and i the public was disgusted. A short ex
hibition ] game was played between the first
'
and secqijd nines , tq repay the a . iulieiice in a .
measure ' for their presence , We regret this
unfortunate ! termination of a game of such
bright promise.
Harmony and Enthusiasm
Were the prevailing elements in there pub
lican ] county convention , held at Indianola ,
Saturday { , an account of which elsewhere apt
pears. ] The nominees are men of character
and ability and as such commend themselves
to the suffrages of the people of Bed Willow
county , whose best interests will be subserv "
ed in their election. Justin A. Wilcox , of
|
this city , the nominee for representative , is
the \ personification of honesty and integrity
and his truest and best efforts will be for what
he ] conscientiously believes to be the highest
welfare of lied Willow county. It. M. Snave-
ly , Esq. , of Indianola , the choice of conveu.y
tion ' for county attorney by acclamation , has
served with credit and satisfaction , one term
;
in that capacity , and the duties of that im
portant ] oflice will fall into experienced , care
ful * hands. C. T. Blacioian , of Lebanon , the
commissioner-nominee ' , wliilenot well known
all j over the county , is vouched for in his com
missioner j district , as perfectly competent to
fill \ the requirements of that position efficientn
ly ] , and that trust is therefor in good and re-
liable ] keeping. It pow repiaius.fpr the re ?
publicans ] to ratify the work by > ailing up
good I , round majorities for the nominees.
Reading Times and Dispatch.
The "Two Johns. ' ' Every one who lias
seen this comedy , knows there are few
chances , to rest between laughs ; the audience
last ] evening which was pretty large , was no
exception. , The comedy owes its success to t
the | two characters Philip Johns and Peter
Johns , cousins who are made to look as
near \ alike as two jjeas in u pod , buf whq are
frequently mistaken for each other by the
other < characters , thus giving rise to the most
laughable ] contretemps. Messrs. J. C. Stewi
art ' and Paul Diesser are gentlemen of proc
digious ( proportions ; they are the "Two t
Johns" who fill the bill so admirably. There
is i some good singing , and handsome costumes
are worn by the ladies. At the Menard , j

The Hand of the Reaper.
Last Sunday evening , after a short illness ,
following i maternity , Mrs. Ed. C. Buflington
of < West McCook quietly passed over the river
into i the spirit land , where suffering and death t
are not , nor sorrow of parting. The remains i
of ' the loved one were shipped to Arapahoe v
where with tenderness and tears her ashes l
were laid away in the secret place of rest and
peace. 1 The departed leaves an infant of few
days ' and frail ponstltiition , Illy prepared to.
light the battles of babyhood , these warm
days . , and a sorrow-stiicken young husband ,
bowed down under a burden of inconsolable
grief. ; All true hearts go out to him in proc
found ] sympathy m this sad hour of affliction , a
The Question of Submission.
7
The result of the late republican prima-
lies i , on the question of submission , leaves no t
doubt < as to the feeling of the majority of the
republicans i of lied Willow county on the vi-
tally 1 important question qf temperance. 2 ( > 4
votes were cast for the proposition to 1C2 f
against , four precincts voting solidly for tiie 1
measure. J We believe that a majority , not :
only ( in this county , but in the state , favor a
suppression of the liquor traffic , and sincere
j ly hope that the people shall early have an
opportunity ( to pa s upon a constitutional s
amendment to that effect. The people are '
awake to the gravity of the case and are in a l
fit ' mood to apply heroic remedies. Let the *
question ' be submitted.

The comedy is one of the funniest ever writ
ten , the make ups of the two illustrious "mon-

A Political Sermon.
Bv T. 15. McCutc-ccv.
"Jon VI V : Doth the wild ium bray when
he hath grass or Joweth the oxen over his fod
der. "
A succinct history of tho author of thli text
is furnished In a four lino paragraph in the
first chaptcrof his work : "There was n man In
tho land of Uz whoso tinmo was Job ; that man
was perfect and upright , feared God and es
chewed , evil. " Hero is a record or which , when
truthfully ' said or any man , he can well ntTord
to ' feel proud. To walk circumspectly and up
rightly i beforo men , to bo always truthful ,
honest I and upright hi all our dealings with
men i , to observo the golden rule "On which
hangs ' all tho law and tho prophota" with each
other ' and live by its teachings , Is pushlngono's
seir ' far out on the plain of morality ; but when
in addition to these excellencies we can say of
a ( man , "He is porfoct , " we are crowding him
very near the "Pearly Gates. " With all those
who fearGod and kcop his commandments , tho
eschewingor evil is buta natural consequence ,
but ' nil men have not tho fuculty t > brush this
incubus ' aside. Tho experience or Paul was.
"That when ho would do good , ovll was pres
ent with him ; " but further on hesaia. "That
when he como under grace , sin had no domin
ion j over hinr" Job was a very rich man , but
like ' men of our time , failed up lost all his
possessions ' , lilh oxen , his asses and IiIh sheep ,
there was something like a Mills bill In that
country his camels , tho loss or which wiwti
tcrrlblo aniiotlon ; but how much more tho
grier and affliction when tho news came to him
that whllo his sons and daughters were eating
nnd drinking at the house or the eldest broth
er , it was eyeloned ; fell on , and killed them.
Notwithstanding all this grier. Job still held to
his Integrity. The man or Uz was not only up-
right and pcrrcct , but he was a business man
and politician. In his day. however , they had
not yet learned tho pateut-doiible-back-actlnn
mode of tho modern bull dozer. Tho hip pocket
nnd tissue ballot were not invented until a
date subsequent to that of tho Christian era.
Bourbonlsn was yet slumbering in the shad-
ows of tho Inquisition , and had its birth in this
country simultaneously with tho institution of
slavery. Kukluxism was thrown upon the
southern market after tho emancipation proc
lamation , : had "dono its perfect work. "It's true
that elections of some sort are held allover this
country , nnd it is right nnd proper that tho
people should take a deep interest therein.
Throughout tho rural districts or tho east ,
north and west the voters are conscientious In
political matters and conduct their elections
honestly. They would spurn any southern
methods from tho pulls with a dignity born of
contempt for wrong doers that would cause
tho porpotrators to hastily flee the gathering
storm of wrath und indignation or an outraged
public sentiment. In tho south , where might
makes right , where one class nro privileged
and another proscribed , whero a majority is
ostracised and a minority makes up the returns
to < ordcr.oven before the ballots are canvassed ,
elections are but farces intensified , supported
by apparent tonus or law. In the democratic
cities of the north , where ring rule is prova-
lent ' and bossism stalks Torth unblushingj ! , re-
turns are held back , and export doctors called
.
In to manipulato returns and consummate
,
trauda that has landed not a few in the
penitentiaries of the eountry. "Doth the
wild ass bray when he hath grass , or loweth
tho oxen over his rodder. " Job had a serious
time. The republicans have had ti furious !
time reparing tho old ship or state that detu-
ocraoy almost foundered on the sand bars of
rebellion prior to lbOl. They not only had to
do this work which was of itself u great under-
taking , but they had to meet and overcome at
every step , some new obstacle invented and
thrown in tho way to impede the progress by
bourbonism ; bourbonism that meet with
darkness in the daytime and gropes at noon
day as in the night. That feasts on mistakes
and grows fat on error ; that clings with un
yielding tenacity to opportunities that prom-
iso lasting advantages through supposed re-
publican disaffection , that brays liko wild ass-
es for want of jfrass , and bellows like oxen
that hath no foddor. This party that had not
asingle dennito principle until their president
set < them down on a free trade platform , withj
out any distinct national policy , it dares pros-
ent before the country , after succeeding by
means corrupt in climbing into power , is now
posing menaceingly before tho people who
have been somewhat allured into sullen silence
by deceptive promises of retorm. and who
have been faithfully "waiting and watching"
to see some evidences of sincerity , and while
the wild asses are braying for fodder , they
hopefully await developments. Times change.
Nearly : # years ago * plug uglies , bourbons and i
thugs of Baltimore limited "like a partridge J' I
upon the mountain" and sought to murder I
Abraham Lincoln when on his way to Wash i [
iugtou to take the oath of president. Now
they invite Grover Cleveland Siva's "Man of
.
Destiny" tendering him the freedom of the
city. The former represented a poor , down
trodden , helpless race of people , whom the
bourbons desired to keep down and in chains ;
the latter represcntsa little of everything , and
not : much of anything. There seems to have
been a change for the better , but have the
minds of a morbid community changed ? Oris
tho difference only caused by surrounding cir-
cumstances. I have read somewhere of a rabj
blc that demanded of Peutius Pilate the re-
lease ' of Barrabbas and the scourging of the
King of Kings. The ancient plug-uglies , like
ravenous wolves , desired the blood of the in-
I
nocent because they feared the boon o.C power i |
was about to depart from Judah , and the latJ J (
ter day plug-uglies sought innocent blood for
no other reason , and merging into bourbonism
have kept braying for twenty-eight years.
"They have hid hatred with lying lip3 , " and
"sought to enter the gates of the city by de-
ceit. " They have clasped to their bosoms the
shades of the "lost cause" and haveneversur- !
rendered the idea of their so veign right to rule. ! I
They propose to protect their own products by |
an ample tariff and turn those of the north j
over to compete with manufactured articles ,
I
and cereals produced by England's cheap la-
bor. The south through this administration at
present rules the government. They believe
in the tjQCthie , "The good old rule , the simple
plan. That they do take who have the power. I
And they do keep who can. " "Doth the wild I
ass bray when he hath grass , or loweth the
oxen over his fodder. " Job was patient , true !
aud trustful. The republicans , knowing they | i
are right , can .i.ao afford to be patient and '
] hopeful.
Exchanse : " 3Iy sermon to-day , " ' said an
Indiana clergyman , looking placidly over the
congregation , "will treat of the Sabbath de- ,
|
secration , and I trust I may be able to point'
out its wickedness to good effect. Before ,
opening my discourse , however , I announce i
that a base-ball game is in progtess south of 1
the church , and for convenience of worship- •
ers the score by innings will be leconjed by
Ero. Johnson. My text is : "liemember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy. "
Quite extensive improvements are being
made by Clark & Ziegler , dairjmen , to their
plant in the northwestern part of town. A
well has been sunk and a wind mill erecte.l. _
And a large cattle shed is now well under '
way. They are increasing their facilities ,
considerably.

"digest" that , the London Spectator says : H
"Grover Cleveland lias done more to advance H
the i causo of free trade , than any Prime Minis- H
ter 1 of England lias done. " The LondonTimea |
says , "It is certain that the arguments which H
President Cleveland urges , ure those which H
Cobdeu i used to employ 43 years ago , and which H
any : free trader could employ now. " Mr. Mills H
said i to a delegation of Philadelphia wool mer- H
chants i , recently , "I desire free trade , and I H
will not help to perfect any law that stands in H
the way of free trade. " In the face of this , is H
there a man who is so verdant as to deny , that H
democracy i means free trade ? Don't mako j H
