We learn of a Platte county
bachelor thirty-eight years old who
came by a wife in a somewhat sin
gular manner. About last Christ
mas he expressed a wish to get mar
ried, if he could find a wife. A
friend told him he knew of a young
Kansas Jady who would doubtless
suit him. A correspondence was
immediately begun and on Monday
of last week he returned with his
bride.

On Friday last John Wurdemau
a man well known to many of our

We have not fully learned the par
ticulars, but we give what we have.
He was mowing and his team be
coming frightened at something, ran
oil", throwing him into such a posi
tion that his right hand was cut off
at tha wrist, his left hand sawed
into, and a cut made on the forehead.
Dr. Hoehen was called, dressed his
wounds, and cared for him gener
ally, so that Mr. TVurdeman is re
ported as doing as well as could be
expected.
Mike Ebcl tells us that about
two weeks ago one of his neighbors,
Mr. Birch, lost ten head of cattle by
the same disease that was prevalent
last fall. Mike says that the symp
toms are a great deal like typhoid
fever, tho sickness beginning with a
shake. He thinks it is contagious,
too. If Xebraska is again threaten
ed with last year's cattle plague it
would be a matter of wise precau
tion for stockmen to institute a
thorough inquiry, to the end that
they may be matter of the situation,
so far, at least, as human reason and
will can be.

The business of Kramer's X. Y.
Cheap Cash Store is increasing daily
and their stock is so large that they
find their present large store too
small for their wants. They have
made arrangements for and will oc
cupy the store we arc now erecting
on the lot next door to Hum. It
will be 22x80, and this room will be
connected with their store by an
arch 10 feet wide by 10 feet high.
This will give them a better chance
to display their immense stock. It
is their intention to Eel aside their
present store for wholesaling and
retailing notions, carpets, hosiery,
dry goods, trimmed hats and millin
ery goods, and to have clothing, hats
and caps, and boots and shoes in the
other room now being built for
them. It will be ''the largest and
finest store west of Chicago, not ex
cepting Omaha, and they will con
tinue to keep the best assortment of
all goods in their line and sell them
at their well-known low prices. 1
Tho Era of last week gives
wider circulation to a slanderous
story told of Mr. Barrett than It
otherwise would have had had the
Era said nothing. It then proceeds,
after administering a number of
left-handed compliments, to damn
him with a very little very faint
praise, all of which is for a motive
clearly apparent, in view of rumors
on the streets as to probable candi
dates for the office of superintend
ent. Democrat.
Wc love fair-minded justice, even
among political enemies, and we
don't like to sec one of our neigh
bors turning the very milk of human
kindness into sour curds, by the ren
net of jealousy. It is most excessive
ly mean to create dissensiou where
there should be only concord of
sweet sounds. Prithee, brethren,
dwell in unity, and show forth to
the world the exceeding goodness of
Democratic principles.
Weekly Weather ICcport.
The mean temperature of the air
during the week ending S p. in.,
Sept. 14th was 5S . Wednesday at
noo'n the thermometer indicated
82, which was the highest observed
temperature. Light frosts occur

LEATHERN SPECTACLES.
That Traveler Hears from Another
Precinct.
Creston, Sept. Gth, 1S79.
Poor Mr. Taylor! For surely he
or any one else is to be pitied who
could travel through our beautiful
State and sec nothing to admire,
and missing the types of our older
civilization cannot even see (to say
nothing of being able to appreciate)
the evidence of thrift and progress
everywhere visible, together with
the grand possibilities of the future.
To think of there being no trees
in Xebraska! "Well, he must surely
have had leathern spectacles, either
upon his natural optics or his men
tal ones. I think he had better
travel far enough, or stay longer to
see a loose prairie lire, magnificent
in beauty, terrible in its powers of
destruction, then by a small exercise
of his thinking powers, without the
leathern spectacles, he will be able
to understand why there are not as
many trec3 in Xebraska as in older
States. Xow that such a large num
ber of farms are well protected by
fire-guards, tho country is full of
them ; in our own six miles square I
can aafely ny that there are 500
acres of trees in good condition, and
all around u. outside our limits,
there are beautilul proves of from 5
to 40, acres. We have on our own
farm trees three years old, ten feet
high, and eleven inches in circum
ference. " -ZVo trees in Nebraska!"
Wc think it an advantage for a farm
er to be able to place his forests
where he pleases, even if he has to
wait for them to grow rather than
spend the strength of his years to
clear off old limber land ready to
farm.

At a meeting of the Republicans
of Monroe Precinct, held at the
school-house of Dist. Xo. G, pursu
ant to call of the Central Committee,
George S. Truman was chosen to
act as chairman and Albert Hose
as secretary. The following pream
ble and resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted :
Wheukas, It. appears that the
Judicial Convention of the 4th Dis
trict has been called to meet on the
21th inst., and as the County Con
vention which should select dele
gates to the Dist. Covention does
not meet until the 27th inst., there
fore liesolved, That the Central Com
mittee be requested to call the
County Convention together in spe
cial session at an earlier date for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
Judicial Convention.
liesolved, That we look wpon the
call for a meeting of the Central
Committee at the time when every
Iiepublican should be in his precinct
doing his part there as yery unwise
and calculated to inspire distrust in
the members of the party.
liesolved, That a copy of these
resolution be furnished to the Cen
tral Committee and that they be
published.
Geo. S. Tuomax, Ch'n.
Albert Hose, Sec'y.
We print the above, as per de
mand expressed, but we may, per
haps, be allowed to inquire how the
Central Committee could call the
delegates into convention, unless
the Committee itself should first
meet. Should one member of the
Committee assume to do everything,
without an effort to have the Com
mittee all together?

The farm of Mrs. Cyrus Allen
produced a crop of flax this year
that averaged fourteen bushels per
aero. We have heard of some pieces
that averaged fifteen bushels per
acre. Flax U undoubtedly the boss
crop of the season.
There is less grain coming into
market than ever before at this sea
son of the year. Farmers declare
they will let their notes go to pro
test and pay attorney fees rather
than haul their grain now. Thev are
waiting for the L. & X. TV.

THE "WHITE SEWING MACHINE
Its Superior Advantages.
It is so simple in construction tlnl
little or no instruction is required to
become proficient in its use. A chill

Its upper tension is easily controlled,
and after being once regulated, is a'lt--
matic, requiring no change fjr any kn:i
or ordinary family worK.
It is the lightest running marhin-
made, and is nearly noiseless f. nturcs
which no lady can auorcl to overlook in
the selection of a sewing machine.
It is adapted to any kind of s:ving,
from the lightest muslin and si!K to tut
heaviest woolen or cotton goods, and
guaranteed to execute any kinder work
ever wanted in a family.
It has the best treadle ever attached
to a sewing maclime: it being so con
structed as to operate with perfect ease,
and without fatigue to the most delicate.

Its working parts are case-hardened

parts from long and constant uecan or
taken up by the simple turning of a
screw.
Its shuttle is self-threading, made cf
solid steel, and carries a larger bobbin
than almost any other family scwiu
machine. The tension can be changed!
without removingit from the machine.
It has more room under the arm than!
any other machine made, making it I
very desirable for dress-makers, seam
stresses, tailors and others, who oftenl
wish to carry the fabric under the arm
without crushing it.
It has a device by which the bobbins
cae be tilled without running the entire
machine, thereby relieving it from wear
lor this purpose, as, also, relieving the
operator of the necessity cf removing
lue work or attachments, as is the case
in nearly all other machines.
It has a double steel feed, or a feed on
both sides of the needle, which enable
the operator to carry the fabric through
eitner sale or the nccule, as may be de
sired. This feature, combined with the
large space under the arm, Is found In

which should not be overlooked.
The result of this combination is the
"WHITE," the easiest-selling, the
most durable, the cheapest, best and
largest family Sewing Machine in the
