The seven acres of sorghum
raised in Humbug and Kingsburg
precincts last year produced 54S
gallons of molasses. At fifty cents
per gallon, this crop was worth
$274.00. It evidently pays the farm
er to give a little a'tteutioa to this
crop. Stanton Register.
B. E. Rogers and family left for
Omaha Monday where they eypect
to reside. Mr. Rogers has a posi
tion with W. J. Broach in the
hardware business. We are sorry
to part with so good people as Mr.
and Mrs. Rogers, but hope the
change may be profitable to them.
A large number of delegates
from the western part of the State
to the State convention were on the
train Monday. Thej" were accom
panied by a host of "Boys'' going

anticipating a lively time at Lincoln,
aud seemed more or less anxious as
to results.
Charley Davis escaped from
jail Wednesday last, half past leu
a. m., by diggiug out through the
ceiling into the court-room above,
aud then through a window, down
and out, into the free air of heaven.
We believe that this is the fourth
time prisoners have escaped through
this same hole.
Mr. Theodore Wheeler and his
son, of Kankakee, Ills., camped in
Columbus Wednesday night of last
week. They are ou their way to
Holt Co., where they propose to
build sheds, house aud barn this

their ranche ou the Big Sandy Creek
1,000 or 1,500 sheep.
At the corner of Neb. Avo. and
13th St., there is a Btair-way to a cel
lar that has caused several acci
dents the past year, the last one
rather serious. A stranger turning
the comer from Neb. Ave. to 13th
very naturally falls into the trap,
with the possibility of a broken
neck, or the probability of a severe
bruise.
John A. Steele, who has for the
past eight months been the night
operator at the U. P. depot, has pur
chased the property on Nebraska
Avenue, belonging to John Mc
Glinchy, the Western Union opera
tor, and succeeds him also to his
position. John and his family left
last week for Westboro, Ohio, a
small town near Cincinnati.
We learn that the case of the
State against John Walker, jr., heard
before J. O. Tasker, J. P., at Platte
Center, attracted considerable atten
tion there last week. The prosecut
ing witness was Jas. Ducey, and the
charge, assault with intent to kill.
In the melee Ducey lost one of his
eyes. We have no further particu
lars except that Walker is held to
appear at the District Court.
S. M. Barker has returned from
the east with 2500 sheep to add to
his already large flock. These will
be placed on a new ranche about
four miles from his present one.

talists in -Chicago ready to invest
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
sheep in Nebraska, on shares, pro
vided they can find careful and
thoroughly competent men to take
them.

have received their new uniform
consisting of gray cap, pants and
shirt, and red necktie, belt and
stockiugs, ordered through E. D.
Filzpatrick of Spaulding Bros. They
have also a dozen of the best willow
bats, and a half dozen League balls.
We predict a good report from the
club if they enter the tournament at
Central City during the Soldiers'
Re-union.
The teacherB in attendance on
the Institute, before adjourning,
passed a series of resolutions com
mending the action of Supt. Barrett
in convening the Institute; for the
untiring interest manifested by him
in the educational affairs of the
county; aud the instructors of the
Institute for the courteous manner
"in which they have borne them
selves towards" the teachers present.
A vote of thanks was tendered the
school board of Dist. 13 for the use
of their school building.

House, Saturday, at 2 p. m., ami

As to Woodville precinct, where
there was a contest, the committee
referred back the matter to the con
vention, with the recommendation
that each side have ten minutes, in
which to present its case.
Ou motion, the report of the com
mittee was received aud adopted.
On motion, the temporary organ
ization was declared permauent.
The contested case of Woodville
was then taken up, D. L. Conrad
representing one side; Hiram and
John Ely the other. The facts ap
peared to be that Conrad was pres
ent at the time and place designated
in the call, but was the only person
present. The other meeting was on
a subsequent day and was' attended
by fourteen persons.
On motion, the precinct being en
titled to two votes, Conrad and
Hiram Ely were admitted to seats
iu the convention. ,
Ou motion of Wm. McAllister,
the convention proceeded to elect
six delegates to the State conven
tion, resulting as follows, by votes
varying from 16 to 20 : Wm. McAl
lister, J. W. Early, J. J. Trueman,
B. Milictt, G. W. Barnhart, A. M
Post.
Tho following were then selected
as alternates: Nels Oleson, Chris.
Meedel, Johu Tasker, Ed. Hoar, D.
C. Conard aud M. K. Turner.
On motion, the delegates were in
structed to select their alternates
from the number choseu as such,
aud, in the absence of a fall delega
tion, those present were authorized
to cast the full vote for the county.
On motion of J. J. Trueman, the
following resolutions were unani
mously adopted :
Whereas, the constitution of the
State of Nebraska provides that the
people may at tho polls express their
choice for U. S. Senator, and
Whereas, the statutes of 1878-'79
provide for the carrying of the con
stitutional provision into effect, and
Whereas, the same is not in con
flict with the constitution and laws
of the U. S., and
Whereas, the state central com
mittee iu the call for the state con
vention to be held at Lincoln, Sept.
let, in the list of officers to be placed
iu nomination, omitted that of U. S.
Senator, and
Whereas, it is of great import
ance to the Republican party that
Nebraska Bhall elect her Senator
strictly in accordance with the con
stitution and law, that a Democratic
senate may have no excuse for re
fusing to seat him, therefore
Jtesolved, that our delegates to the
state convention be instructed to
urge upon the state convention the
importance of this measure, and to
vote for the same.
Resolved, that a copy of these res
olutions be furnished to the state
convention.
On motion of W. N. McCandlish,
the delegates to the State convention
were declared delegates to the Judi
cial convention.
On motion, the alternates to the
State convention were selected as
delegates to the senatorial conven
tion. Ou motion, the delegates to the
State convention were chosen to
represeut Platte county in the "float"
representative convention.
On motiou, the convention ad
journed to meet at the call of the
chairman, on ten days notice.
--
At the Butler- co. convention
Saturday there was a spirited contest
between Col. Roberts an'd Capt
Coon, for the senatorial delegation.
The work lasted four hours, result
ing in a delegation for Arthur J.
Evans. This is probably equivalent
to nomination, as Butler county is
supposed to choose the candidate
this time. The Butler county dele
gation for the "Float" representative
district, including Platte, Colfax and
Butler, will support J. C. Roberts.
By courtesy and succession, the
nomination goes to Butler this
time.
--
Wm. Welch and family have
returned from their Ohio visit. On
stepping from the cars at Osceola,
Mr. Welch took a long breath and
said, "this is the kind of an atmos
phere to have." He evidently rel
ished the invigorating breezes of
Nebraska, after sojourning for two
or three months - in the sultry re
gions of the cast. Some Jfevos.-
Fatal Accident. On Monday
eveniug we learned the following
facts relative to a very sad accident,
which resulted in tho death of Mr.
Charles Ham, of Rising City. It ap
pears that Mr. Ham was returning
from Columbus on Sunday last, iu
coufpauy with a man named Will
iams. As" they were driving along
the road a dog ran out from a farm
house and frightened their horses, so
that they became unmanageable and
ran away, throwing the parties from
the wagon. Mr. Ham was throwu
with great violence, amrfell iu such
a manner as to dislocate his neck,
causing instant death. He leaves a
wife and three children to mourn
his death. May He who tempera the
wind to the shorn lamb, be their
comfort and shield iu this their hour
of great trouble. Osceola Record,
Aug. 25.
Another account iu the David City
Republican sayp that one of the fore
wheels went down into a rut throw
ing Mr. Ham out and killing him.
A lady who met the men a few mo
ments beforo the accident said that
'the deceased was apparently reeling
under the influence of iutoxicauts;
and as there" was a jug oMiquor on
the wagon, her yiew of the matter
appeared plausible.
Mr. Ham is spoken of as having
been a kind and affectionate husband
and father and a good citizen, but
had acquired the habit of usiug
strong drink, which was at last the
probable cause of his untimely death.
He owned a small farm a few miles
west of Rising City, had bought lum
ber and was preparing to build a
house for his family.'
Democratic Co. Convention.
The Democracy of Platte will
hold their convention at the Court
House, Sept. 11, 2 p. m. The pri
maries are to be held at the usual
voting places in the several pre
cincts, where the polls will be open
from 2 to 4 p. m. Tho representa
tion will be as follows: Columbus
7; Butler 3; Bismark 2; Monroe 1;
Shell Creek 2; Walker 1; Hum
phrey 2; Stearns 2; Sherman 2;
Creston 1; Pleasant Valley 2; Lost
Creek 2 ; Burrows 2 ; Looking Glass
1 ; Woodville 1.
We give the above summary for
the special benefit of our Democrat
ic readers, and as a matter of news
more or less interesting to Repub
licans. The only object of this convention
is to select delegates to the State
convention which is to be held at
Hastings, Sept. 15th.
Of course the convention, thus
constituted, can not fairly authorize
itself to do more than select these
delegates, and this will necessitate
another convention and another se
ries of caucuses and primaries. Who
is responsible for this additional
expense?
We learn that Geo. S. Truman,
our Platte county neighbor, lately
lost a horse by death . . . Will E.
Walton of Platte county and S. C
Lougshore of Columbus, started for
Kansas, Monday, to purchase cattle.
We learn from Will that they intend
taking quite a tour and may go as
far as Colorado before they find
what they want The Church
Council last Thursday was pretty
well attended. It resulted iu the
permanent organization of a Con
gregational Church at Geuoa. Revs.
E. L. Sherman and J. A. Reed, of
Columbus, were in attendance.
Genoa Leader.
--
The Republicans of Platte coun
ty are to be congratulated upon the
attitude in which the convention of
Saturday places them with reference
to U. S. senatorial question right,
proper, legal and commendable. On
the question of the adoption of the
resolutions, presented by J. J. True
man, which we print elsewhere, Mr.
Trueman and H. J. Hudson made
very sensible remarks, Mr. H. speak
ing with the earnestness born of
personal knowledge of the duties of
a Nebraska legislator, and the dis
tractions from business incident
upon a "senatorial" session.
--
The Concert.
The Helman Family gave their
concert at Liberty Hall Tuesday
eveniug last as advertised. Those
who understand music and can ap
preciate fine performing say that
Miss Medea E. Helman is simply
immense. She is, without doubt, the
finest lady performer on the Violin,
that has ever appeared before an
audience. She was ably supported
by little Flora and Myrtle playing
second violin, showing themselves
to be the masters of music. Kaiisas
