Mike Ebcl says if tho A. & N.
gets in here with cheap coal Rickly
aud the Haneys will not be troubled
so much watching their timber on
the river. The new road will help
to conserve tho morals of the com
munity. "I mn opposed, on principle, to
giving my note, but necessity some
times compels me to do so," said a
in im in our hearing the other da,
"and if I were a voter of this count'
it would be for a similar reason that
1 should vote for the A. & N. bonds."
Father Smith met with almost
a serious accident the other day.
Sitting on a chair with castors,
leaning back, the chair went sud
denly from under him, throwing
him backwards injuring him some
what, but it is not thought, serious
ly disabling him.
A prominent stock dealer of
Columbus, who says he occupies
neutral ground concerning the bond
question, aud who has a good op
portunity of ascertaining the minds
of the farmers, says he has not seen
a single granger who is dead set
against the A. & N. bonds.
Look out for one of Meagher's
surprises about Friday evening. It
will not be the survcv dodge, this
time; nor the G0,000 to $80,000 con
struction money to he spent in the
county, if the bonds arc defeated;
nor the depot "racket," but yon can
depend upon it, there will be some
thing that can be fairly traced to
the station door.
They do say that Mike Ebel of
Butler county deserves more than
usual credit for his work for the
competing road. It is said that
notwithstanding one of the U. P.
luminaries in Butler county thought
he had Mike and several of his
friends "solid," Mike's precinct cast
9S votes for the A. & N. and none
against it. Tally one for Mike.
From Rev. Father Smith we
learned Saturday that Henry
Carrig's daughter, agod live years,
died Saturday morning last about
2 o'clock. Henry and his son,
though still confined to bed, arc
improving. James, son of Thos.
Lynch, is sick with diphtheria.
Agnes, daughter of Mrs. Clcary,
who has been sick with sore throat,
is improving rapidly.
According to tho wording of the
proposition submitted to the citi
zens of Lincoln, the A. & N. R. It. is
to be extended from that city to a
point on the line of the TJ. P. The
bonds have carried all along the line
The people of Platte county vote
on the question Saturday next.
"Will we get the road or will it strike
somewhere east or west of us?
Voters, look well to yoar ballots.
The meeting in Stearns precinct
Saturday night must have been a
good one. Barnum, Schuttc, Carcw
and Sprcrry spoke for the bonds aud
Speicc, North, Kinney and Lovcland
against. "We have not space for giv
ing arguments ou both sides, but
Barnunfs common-sense hit at
Speicc & North was well received,
that if he was in their place and was
getting a rich lot of milk from the
TJ. P. cow, he didn't believe he'd
kick the cow, any more than Speicc
& North are doing. Mr. Schuttc
showed freight receipts that convinc
ed the meeting as to the exorbitant
rates of the TJ. P. Carcw showed
that the A. & would be a competing
line, and Sprerry handled the tax
question with a vigor. Vote 45 for
the A. & N. and 1 against, and we
have siuco been told that he was
ashamed of his vote.
The friends of the proposed
competing lino of railroad aro
earnestly requested to be especially
active and alert in Pleasant Valley,
Burrows, Stcarus, Butler, and
Granville precincts. Learn what
the enemy arc doingand saying, and
counteract their influence. Spend
a day at the polls for your owu and
your county's lastiug benefit. It
will be a shame if Platte county
don't choose to seize her opportunity
to better her condition. Remember
that the more we reduce the trans
portatiou of what we buy aud sell,
the more we save for ourselves,
and this means good houses, good
barns, good shelter for stock, some
tenecs, some few luxuries on the
table (at least occasionally,) and
good warm fires during the severe
blasts of winter. It means these
added comforts, besides the con
sciousness that you are, in truth and
iu fact, a free 'mail.
A very fair estimate of your
grain per bushel on wheat sold at
Columbus or Jackson, if you vote
for the A. & N. bonds aud they
carry, is five cents a bushel, above
what you uow get. You can figure
for yourself how much you would
make ou this one item, saying noth
ing of $3 or more on every ton of
coal, and $G or more on every thous
and feet of lumber.
One of the TJ. P. agents has been
trying to create the impression that
the TJ. P. It. R. Co., in a few days,
is going to begin work on a line
through the country, and spend
$G0,000 in its construction. This is
not a bad "dodge," but it won't win.
Of course, this choice bit of infor
mation is always coupled with the
declaration, "if the A. & N. bonds
don't carry." Anythiug to beat the
bonds.
---
"We arc informed that there will
be a railroad meeting at Henry
Lcusche's school house in Dist. No.
2, on Shell creek, next Friday even
ing. We believe the meeting lias
been called by voters iu that neigh
borhood for the purpose of discus
sing the pending railroad proposi
tion, for and against, and we
presume that both sides will be well
represented. Same for Jackson,
Thursday evening.
If any one receives or sees or
hears of a TJ. P. circular being dis
tributed in any precinct next Fri
day or Friday night, mako no delay
in carrying the information and the
circular, on the fleetest horse you
can find, to both the printing
offices iu Columbus, and whatever
the time of night, rouse the printing
force so that the editor may write
aud the compositors set up and the
pressman strike oft" counter circulars
by the thousand for immediate dis
tribution. These things take time,
aud under such circumstances you
can not act too quickly. The prompt
action of one man may win us the
contest.
The vote upon which the law
says a proposition such as is now
before the citizens of Platte county,
shall be declared carried, is a two
thirds vote, not of all the voters of
the county (as some believe) but of
those voting at the election, for in
stance suppose there arc 1100 voters
iu the county aud but 1200 of them
attend the polls and cast their bal
lots. It would take S00 of these to
carry the proposition ; 401 votes, out
of 1200, against the bonds, would
defeat the proposition. Challengo
every man of whom there is any
doubt. It has been suggested that
every 6tich one be put under oath so
that he can be summarily prosecuted
if it should turn out that hu had cast
an illegal vote. The people, in this
contest against a strong railroad
corporation, deserve at least a fair,
free ballot.
The A. & N. is a road having
four Chicago connections and three
St. Louis connections, a good posi
tion to secure, not only special rates
for transportation, but competition
iu price for our surplus farm prod
ucts. As a stock market, too, in
which our people have a great inter
est, Kansas City is second only to
Chicago, and is very readily reached
by the A. & N. The new line can
well afford to carry freight at much
lower rates than the TJ. P. There
would be big profit iu it at three
fourths their rates. An other reason
why they cau afford to do the work
for considerably less is that they
need never haul an emp'ty car, they
can go full both ways, taking our
cattle, hogs, wheat, oats and corn,
and bringing back lumber, coal,
groceries, hardware, farming imple
ments, dry-goods, &c.
From the way "X X " in the
Madison Chronicle talks of Colum
bus merchants, hotel-keepers aud
wheat buyers, wo should say that
he was angry at something. The
TJ. P. succeeded iu defeating the
Elkhorn Valley It. R. proposition
in Madison county, and now it
looks as though tho town of Madi
son might be left out in the cold,
without a railroad. "Wo suspect
that so far as this feeling against
Columbus is concerned it has been
induced by some malignant spirit
working against the A. & N. prop
osition io affect the bond election in
the northern part of this county.
The cutirc programme of tho TJ. P.,
in this Central-Nebraska, railroad
campaign, goes to show that the
main (it not only) object aimed at
was to prevent other roads from
building, to take from them a por
tion of their very lucrative business.
Docs Madison really believe that
the TJ. P. will give them a railroad?

Do you suppose that if there
was just one business house of each
lino of goods in Columbus, that you
could buy so cheap as you now do?
Certainly not. If competition does
so much for you in this direction,
why will not the general principle
hold good with reference to trans
portation companies? Answer this
question fairly and squarely to' your
conscience and your pocket before
you 6ay "I want no other railroad
than the TJ. P."
A. Competing Point.
Two men met at Council Bluffs
last Monday with a car load of horses
each for shipment, one to Kearney
aud ono to Columbus Rites secured :
to Kearney 19G mi., $50 aud a pass for
the shipper; to Columbus, 97 mi.,
$50 and a half-faro ticket. "When
the attention of the TJ. P. officials
was called to the matter, the reply
was, "Kearney is a competing
point." Just so! Make Columbus
a competing point by voting for the
bonds Saturday.
Who .Shall Vote V
Let every voter inform himself,
and not be backward in speaking
right out, if he has suspicions that a
man is trying to vote illegally. Turn
to page 3G0, General Statutes of Ne
braska, and you will find the whole
law as to what place shall be con
sidered and held as a voter's resi
dence. The general pi o vision is
Skc. 20. Every male citizen of the
United States, and lie who, in accord
ance with the laws of the United States,
shall file his declaration of intention to
become such, and who has attained the
age of twenty-one years, and shall have
been an actual resident of this state for
six months, of the county forty days
consecutively, and of the precinct or
w.ird where he intends to vote ten days
next preceding the election, shall be en
titled to vote at any election in this
state."
A.. Ac :"'. Construction Crowd.
Wo stop the press to say that by
all odds the largest crowd of people
that ever gathered in Columbus was
here yesterday huudreds from
Seward and Butler counties came
to greet Platte on the prospect of a
new railroad. The procession form
ed south of the city, under tho lead
of Marshals G. W. Clother aud John
Hammond, and was about a mile
and a half iu length. Banners and
flags, with music, enlivened the
scci'C, and it was evident that the
hearts of the people were with the
proposed road.
At the Engine House the pro
cession halted in front of an im
provised platform, aud being called
to order by Capt. Hammond, listen
ed to a neat reception speech by
Judge Higgins of this city, after
which the crowd dispersed till half
past 3 o'clock, when they reassem
bled, and listened to entertaining
speeches by Sibbet, Garfield, Jensen
and Casper of Butler county ; Ham
ilton and Cox of Seward, and Bar
num and Magoon of Platte; besides
L. "W. Tow no, Sup't., and S. B.
Galey, Att'y of the A. and N. road.
A shower coming up, the crowd
dispersed, in the heartiest good
humor, well pleased with tho im
promptu exercises of the occasion.
Lack of space forbids a fuller ac
count of the proceedings. The
sentiment prevails that the bonds
will carry iu Platte by a sweeping
majority.
