K)St TICKET.
AL1SE11T J. AUNOI.I),
The canditltte for Bhoriff, was boru
in Stcnbcn Co., X. Y., August 23d,
1S31. lie bad the usual expericuco
of American boy ami young men,
aud at the age of tweuty-six, follow
ing Greeley's advice, came west to
grow up witb the country. He has,
ever elnce, lived in the west, and has
had a little more than the usual
varied experience of western men.
"We follow him briefly. In June,
1S57, bo first came to Columbus, and
has considered this his home ever
since. In the spring of 185S he
moved here, taking charge of the
Cleveland House ( now the Ham
mond House) which was then loca
ted on the site of "Cleveland" east of
G. W. Stevens's place. In 185S he
charge of the ferry across the Loup,
which was, at that time, a crossing
for all of the overland travel going
this way to Utah, California and
other western points. To show the
extent of the work done by the fer
rymen it 16 only necessary to refer
to the fact that in March, 1859, when
they put on a now boat, there were
five hundred teams ready to cross.
This wub the year of the great ex
citement concerning the discovery
of gold at Pike's Peak, and all had
caught a good share of the fever. In
May of that year, he quit his boat
and went to the new eldorado, re
turuing in the fall, aud going back
again in the spring of 1800 accom
panied by his brother, E. "V., and by
J. E. North. In lSGi he entered the
Indian service, being commissioned
by Gov. Saunders as first lieutenant
of O. P. Mason's battalion. In Au
gust, 1SC1, he was put in command
of Co. C, 7th Iowa Cavalry. He did
splendid service in the engagements
against the Sioux at Plum Creek,
and iu the Republican Valley and
Smoky Hill country, also at Ash
Hollow where twenty-five lodges of
Sioux under Two Face were sur
rendered. The same wiuter he acted
as 6Cout for a party of soldiers in a
campaign against the Sioux. About
this time he was appointed assistant
U. S. Provost Marshal for Nebraska,
with headquarters at Kearney City,
which position he hold till the close
of the war, doiug his duty fully and
EalisfactorilVj often under very try
iug circumstances. In 1SG7 ho be
came deputy sheriffof Platte county,
under C. D. Clother, which position
ho filled, till he himself became
sheriff in 1S70. In 1S73 he was
elected a member of the legislature,
aud there made his mark, as he
always did, for the energy of his
character. He is thoroughly cour
ageous, acts upon his own convic
tions, fears nothing and has no
frionus to save from punishment as
criminals. These aro the qualities
requisite in a sheriff, in addition to
the fact that he knows very thor
oughly the duties of the office.
JOHN W. EAICT.Y
tho candidate for treasurer, w.ir born
in Columbiana comity, Ohio, in 1S14
He received the education common
to Uuckcyc boj'3 in those days, at
the district schools; when 17, he en
listed in the service against the
Rebels, joining the 19th Ohio. He
served valiautly in many engage
ments of tho war, including the ter
rific battles of Shiloh, Frauklin and
Stone River. After his time was
out ho re-enlisted in the 101th regi
ment, serving 21.. years, and was
afterwards in the government em
ploy until 1S05. Iu G7 he came to
Nebraska, Platte county, and engag
ed in farming for peven years, in the
meantime serving his county as
commissioner. Iu the fall of 1S73
ho becamo assistant to County Treas
urer, Vincent Kummcr, serving him
in the capacity of deputy until his
death.
Considering that Mr. Kummcr was
a democrat and that ho had held the
office of treasurer for twenty years,
his employment of Eirly as deputy
gavo the latter great strength in
making the canvas for that office in
the fall of 1S79, to which he was
nominated by the Republicans of
Platto.
Tho contest will not 60on be for
gotten by those who took any inter
est whatever in it. There wore four
candidates, Mr. Early receiving G4G
of the 1G49 votes divided among
them, and 259 moro than tho highest
of tho three. He has performed tho
duties of his office admirably, during
the past two years, honoring the
party which placed him there by a
straight-forward, consistent and able
administration of his office. This he
has becu enabled to do through the
intimate knowledge that ho has of
all tho details of his office and of the
men and affairs of the county.
HENRY J. HUDSON
the candidate for county commis
sioner, is 60 well known to all our
citizens that it seems like a work of
supererogation to give even a brief
sketch of his career among us.
He has held various offices in old
Monroe, (afterwards merged into
Platte county,) and the present
county of Platte anions them be
ginning in Monroe in 1S57, as Coun
ty Commissioner, then vlb Probate
Judge, then as post-master for
eleven years; three terms as County
Clerk of this county; then in the
legislature, always and everywhere,
tho duties of his station being per
formed, in tho public interest, fairly
and faithfully. In public office he
is one of those who appreciate tho
fart that an official is a servant of
the public and not their master,
hence he is courteous and affable,
and always ready and willing to
impart information concerning bus-
iness of the public entrusted to his
care. For what wo regard as tho
most important office in the county,
Mr. Hudson possesses the qualities
of experience, thorough knowledge
aud a spirit aud determination to
represeut the public desire.
LEWIS J. CRAMER,
tho candidate for surveyor, was born
in Tiffin, Ohio, in 1S47. Ho gradu
ated at Heidelberg College, Ohio,
engaged in civil engineering for two
years, and has been a teacher tho
remainder of the years of his man
hood. Ho has been principal of tho
public schools in district 1 of this
city for the past five years and has
the affection aud admiration of all
his pupils. Ho is a thorough schol
ar and a most excellent man. In
appearance, tho professor somewhat
resembles that sturdy republican,
James G. Blaine.
JAMES E. MONCRIEF,
tho candidate for superintendent of
schools, was born iu St. Lawrence
Co., N. Y., Juno 5, 1852. Ho was
raised on a farm, his father, a law
yer, residing in tho suburbs of Og
densburg. At the age of 14 he
entered the academy at Lewiston ;
afterwards the college at Ogdens-
burg, and taking a course in the
business college of Bryant & Strat
um. At the age of nineteen ho camo
to Illinois, teaching in winter time,
and working on a farm in summer.
IIo has pursued tho same general
course since he came to Lost Creek
preoinct, this county, in 1875, having
bee a engaged in ono district three
terms, in another two. When the
office of superintendent became va
cant last winter, Mr. Moncrief was
selected by tho county commission
ers, and the manner iu which ho has
conducted his office since that time
has justified their choice. He is
wcl fitted for the position, and has
already won tho esteem of the
public.
DR. S. A. BOKESTEEL,
the candidate for coroucr, is too well
knosvn as a physician of long and
exteusive practice in this communi
ty, to need any commendation from
us. No man in the county is hotter
qualified for the place.
SLEEP.
There is no danger of wearing
this subject threadbare, for people
aro beginning to wako up to the
fact that plenty of sleep is requisite
to health, particularly in the case of
brain worker. The moro sleep the
brain gets the belter docs the brain
work. All great brain-workers
have been great sleepers. Sir Wal
ter iSeott never could do with less
than ten hours sleep. A fool may
waul eight hours, as George III.
said, but a philosopher wants nine.
The men who have been the greatest
generals aro the men who could
sleep at will. It was thuB with
Wellington and Napoleon. The
greatest speakers in the house of
commons have been the men who
couhl go to sleep as much as they
liked. This explained the juvenil
ity o" the aged PalnVcrston. Sleep
is iu many cases the best of med
icine). A friend says that ho treat
ed himself for a fever. He went to
bed with a pitcher of lemouade.
He drank and slept, drank and
slept until he was well again. When
you take to your bed tako all the
sloop you can out of your bedstead,
even although, to quote Dick Swiv
olcr's saying, you may have to pay
for a double bedded room, confess
ing that you have takcu a most un
reasonable amount of sleep out of a
single bed, you will be banking a
wholi) store of recuperative energy.
It wi 1 be safe to say of auy man,
that if ho sleeps well ho will do
well.
Janes Partou who needs oven
less r jligion than Bob Ingorsoll, re
cently delivered a lecturo upon the
'Com.ng Man's Religion. In this
futurj state of affairs, ho thinks
there will not be much theology but
a good deal of clovated morality.
Thosu questions coucerning the
origin and nature of things, the dur
ation of life and primal causes will
be referred to the professors of Har
vard and Cornell. Such &ubjects,hc
contends, havo no proper connection
with religion. This coming man of
whom we may suppose Parton and
Ingorsoll aro types, will scorn to
pray, but accept his duty, hold all
gifts aud possess them in trust, 6tand
by what he thinks is right and true,
befriend tho friendless, lovo and
honor his country, and in every way
6trivc to be such a' person that if
everyone in tho world wero to do
the smc all would bo well. In short
the coming man is to be a christian
gentleman without the inspiration
that Las thus far produced this kind
of character. Lincoln Journal.
To the discredit of the acumen of
American publishers, it is related
that Mark Twain was rebuffed by
every New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia house to whom he offered
his aanuscript of the "Innocents
Abroad," and was so disgUBted and
disturbed that he thought of throw
ing i: into the fire. Finally he
showid it to his friend, Albert D.
Richrxdson, who thought it would
go, aid finally induced tho Amer
ican Publishing Company, with
whori he had business relations, to
take hold of it. Two hundred
thoufand copies have been sold, and
the company made from Hixly to
sever ty thousand dollars out of
Mark's brains. Lincoln Journal.

Professor A. J. RickofT, Supt. of
Schools in Cleveland, "pilches in" to
tho way arithmetic is taught at pres
ent, as follows :
But what of arithmetic ? I answer
with some reluctance, because I
know how strongly fortified this
subjocl is in tho minds of tho people.
For illustration I might say that an
amendment of tho catechism has
boon proposed by a gentleman in
tho part of the State of Ohio from
which I como. In answer to the
question, "what is tho chief end of
man ?" ho would reply : "To glorify
God and study arithmetic forever."
Within a fow years past, say the
last thirty or forty, far more atten
tion has been given it than it do
servos. We do not toach it too well,
not well enough as to its elements,
but we attempt to teach too much of
it. Wc teach moro in tho schools
than is necessary in tho counting
house. I am told by tho gentleman
abovo referred to that having occa
sion to draw a note which should
realize a certain sura when discount
ed at bank, he found tho cashier
unable to reckon tho amount for
which it should bo drawn. This
suggested a series of inquiries among
bankers which rosulted in tho dis
covery that hardly ono out .of ton
could make the calculation on sight.
If a boy is skilled in addition, sub
traction, multiplication and division,
integral, fractional and compound,
and knows how to compute percent
age and ono good way of casting
interest, ho can take caro of himself
in tho commercial dealings to which
his business incidentally calls him,
and with that ho can easily acquire
facility in thOBC computations which
belong specially to his own branch
of trade.
It is a notorious fact that tho mul
tiplicity of rules and cases to bo
found in our text books on this sub
ject, is due to efforts of ono author
Charles Scbroeder, wind mill.
after another to nuke their books
more complete than the previous
publications with which they aro to
como in competition. And being
in the arithmetic, the teacher, espe
cially in our ungraded schools, leels
under obligation to teach them all,
IoU perchanco it might bo charged
that he hiinsolf could not do all the
"sums" in the book. American
Journal of Education.
Broom-corn is likely at no distant
day to revolutionize the breadntuir
supply of tho world. A process has
been discovered by which the finest
and most delicious Hour can be made
from the seen" to tho cxtout of one
half its weight, and leave the other
half a valuable food for making beef
and milk. The averago yield per
acre is three hundred bushels, and
in many instances fivo hundred
bushels, or thirty thousand pounds,
have been secured. Nor does it ex
haust the soil, as Indian corn, from
the fact that it feeds from tho deeper
soil aud assimilates its food from a
cruder state. It belongs to the same
genus as tho sweet cane, commonly
known as tho sorghum, which as an
articlo of food is growing rapidly in
public esteem, and from tho seed of
which a most nutritious flour can bo
obtained. Albion JVew.
Humility is a virtue that all
preach, few practice, yet everybody
is couteut to hear. The master
thinks it good doctrine for his ser
vant, the laity for the clergy, and
the clergy tor the laity.
