AI.ItKKT J. AltNOM),
Tho candidate lor sheriH", was born
in Steuben Co., 2J. Y., August 23d,
18151. lio hud tho usuul experiouco
of American boys and youug men,
and at the age of twenty-six, follow
ing Greeley's advice, came west to
grow up with the country. He has,
ever since, lived in the west, and has
had a little more than the usual
varied experience of western men.
"Wo follow him briefly, lu June,
1S57, ho first came to Columbus, and
has considered this his home ever
since. In the spring of 1S58 he
moved here, taking charge of the
Cleveland House (uow the Ham
mond House) which was then loca
ted on the site of "Cleveland" east ol
G. Y. Stevens's place. In 1S5S he
charge of the ferry across the Loup,
which was, at that timc,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 is only necessary to refer
to the fact that in March, 1859,wheu
they put on a now boat, there were
five hundred teams ready to cross.
This was 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
turning iu the fall, and going back
again in tho spring of 1800 accom
panied by his brother, E. W., and by
J. E. North. In 1SG4 he entered the
Indian service, being commissioned
by Gov. Saunders as first lieuteuaut
ot O. P. Mason's battalion. In Au
gust, 1SG4, he was put in command
of Co. C, 7th Iowa Cavalry. Ho did
splendid service in the engagements
against the Sioux at Plum Creek,
and in the Ilopublican Valley and
Smoky Hill country, also at Ash
Hollow where twenty-live lodges of
Sioux under Two Face were sur
rendered. The same winter he acted
as scout lor a party of soldiers iu a
"campaign against tho Sioux. About
this time he was appointed assistant
U. S. Provost Marshal for Nebraska,
with headquarters at Kearney City,
which position ho held till the close
of the war, doiug his duty fully and
satisfactorily, often under very try
ing circumstances. In 1SC7 he be
came deputy shcrifTof Platte county,
tinder C. D. Clother, which position
he filled, till he himself became
sheriff in 1S70. Iu 1S73 he was
elected a member of the legislature,
and there made his mark, as he
always did, for tho energy of his
character. Ho is thoroughly cour
ageous, acts upon his own convic
tions, fears nothing and has no
friends to save from puuishmeut as
criminals. These are the qualities
requisite in a sheriff, iu addition to
the fact that ho knows very thor
oughly the duties of the office.
JOHN W. EAKLY
the candidate for treasurer, was born
in Columbiana count, Ohio, in 1S44.
He received the education common
to Buckeye boys in those days, at
the district schools ; when 17, he en
listed in the service against the
Rebels, joining the l!)th Ohio. He
served valiantly in many engage
ments of the war, including the ter
rific battles of Shiloh, Franklin and
Stone Kiver. After his time was
out he re-enlisted in the 101th regi
ment, serving 2';. years, and was
alterwards in the government em
ploy until 1SCT). lu "07 he came to
Nebraska, Platte county, and engag
ed in farming for seycu years, in the
meantime serving his county as
commissioner. Iu the fall of 1S7M
he became assistant to County Treas
urer, Vincent Kummcr, serving him
in the capacity of deputy until his
death.
Considering that Mr. Rummer was
a democrat and that he had held the
office of treasurer for twenty years,
his employment of Early as deputy
gave the latter great strength in
making the canvas for that office in
the fall of 1S7D, to which he was
nominated by the Republicans of
Platte.
The contest will not soon be for
gotten by those who took any inter
est whatever in it. There were tour
candidate?, Mr. Early receiving 010
of the 101!) votes divided among
them, and 2."0 more thau the highest
of the three. He has performed the
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 been enabled to do through the
intimate knowledge that ho has of
all the details of his office and of the
men and affairs of the county.
IIE.VKY J. HUDSON
the candidate for count' commis
sioner, is so well known to all our
citizens thai it seems like a work ot
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 among them be
ginning in Monroo in 1857, as Coun
ty Commissioner, then as Probate
Judge, then as post-master for
eleven years ; three terms as County
Clerk of this county; then in the
legislature, always and everywhere,
the dntics of his station being per
formed, in the public interest, fairly
and faithfully. In public office he
is one of those who appreciate the
fact that an official is a servant of
the public and not their master,
hence lie i3 courteous and affable,
and always ready and willing to
impart information concerning bus
iness of the public entrusted to his
care. For what we regard as the
most important office in the county,
Mr. Hudson possesses the qualities
of experience, thorough knowledge
and a spirit and determination to
represent the public desire.
LEWIS J. CRAMER,
the candidate for surveyor, was bom
in Tiffin, Ohio, in 1S47. He gradu
ated at Heidelberg College, Ohio,
engaged in civil engineering for two
years, and has been a teacher the
remainder of the years of his man
hood. He has been principal of the
public schools in district 1 of this
city for tho past five years and has
the affection and admiration of all
Ids pupils. He is a thorough schol
ar and a most excellent man. In
appearance, the professor somewhat
resembles that sturdy republican,
James G. Blaine.
JAMES E. MOKCRIEF,
the candidate for superintendent of
schools, was born in St. Lawrence
Co., N. Y., June 5, 1852. He was
raised on a farm, his father, a law
yer, residing in the suburbs of Og
densburg. At the age of 14 he
entered the academy at Lcwiston ;
afterwards the college at Ogdcna
burg, and taking a course in the
business college of Bryant & Strat-
tou. At the age of nineteen he came
to Illinois, teaching in winter time,
and workiug on a farm in summer.
He has pursued Hie same general
course Mucc he came to Lost Creek
precinct, this county, in 1S75, having
been engaged iu one 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 in which ho has
conducted Mb office since that time
has iustified their choice. He is
well fitted for the position, and haB
already won tho esteem of tho
public.
DR. S. A. RON'ESTKEL,
the candidate for coroner, is too well
known as a physician of long and
extensive practico in this communi
ty, to need any commendation from
us. No man in the county is better
qualified tor the place.

A Clienp Horxe Power lor the
Firm.
As almost overy farmer has fre
quent occasion for the use of a horse
power to do light work such as
shelling corn, churning, sawing
wood, or if a wind mill should get
out o rig, or there not being suffi
cient wind for several days at a time,
a light horse power comes iu very
hand'.
The simplest, easiest running and
choaj est power is in use on the farm
of U. II. Cook, iu Dayton township,
who improvised probably the least
expel sivc power out of an old Buck
eye mower that had been thrown
away as worn out and worthless,
and this is how he did it:
He unbolted the tongue, turned
mower over on one of the wheels,
uukcjcd and took off the logged
drive wheel from the center shaft,
and got a blacksmith to square the
end (f it for tho reception of a
knucHc, put on two joints of a
tumbling rod with their accompa
nying jack-blocks, put a piece of
tumbling rod, for the reception of a
belt, to connect with tho shelter,
tied the sweep with fence wire
across the centre of the upper wheel,
and t tic re stood the neatest little
horso power that man could wish
for, at d it did not cost him auy fifty
dollar', cither.
Mr. Cook can now shell his corn
with lis key-stone "Pony Shcller"
at the rato of twenty-fivo bushels
per hour, and has such unbounded
faith ii his "Little Giant" that ho
intends to rig it up to saw his next
wiutci-s wood. But should ho be
the farorcd candidate for Bhcriff at
the next county convention, he will
sell out his right in tho invention to
the worst beaten man in tho crowd
of aspirants. Clarksville Star.

Suggestion ob "tlatflnpr IJutter
in Cold Weather.
From the Nebraska Fanner.
Without a convenient appliance
of cold water or ice, it is veiy diffi
cult, indeed almost impossible to
make uniformly good butter in hot
weather. But whenever tho atmos
phere is below CO degrees there is
no excuse, except want of knowledge
or experience for making poor but
ter. Yet white, crumbling, streaked
and strong butter are quite common
in winter. My mother made gilt
edged butter aud I was accustomed
to assist her aud had no idea that I
was entirely ignorant of thr process
until I was thrown upon my own
responsibility. Then churning was
the dreaded work of tho house.
Sometimes tho butter would come
iu a fow minutes and bo very soft
and white, again hours of churning
would rosult either in entire failure
or in a very small quantity, very
hard. But now after a good many
years of experience, although it is
work which requires timo and care,
it is the most pleasant and profitable
part of the household work.
I set the milk iu a cool, airy place,
freezing does uot affect the quality
of the butter. Whon uot obliged to
skim soon, let it stand at least forty
eight hours. If none of tho cream
has soured when a sufficient amount
is collected for churning, I stir into
it a small quantity of butter-milk
aud place on the stove (if tho cream
jar is earthen it is safer to put the
jar in a vessel of warm water) stirr
ing the while, until it is nearly warm
a3 new milk, then remove to shelf
in a warm room and cover closely so
that tho heat will be retained. If
this is done in the evening it will be
sour in the morning. The main
thing in churning is to secure the
right temperature, aud to do this a
thermometer is essential. In my
early days of trial, I asked an old
lady how sho "tested her cream," to
which she testily replied, "I test it
myself."
The "feel" of it depends upon the
temperature of the hand at the time
and is not a safe test. "When in
want of a thermometer I can judge
pretty well by first placing tho hand
iu water of a kuown temperature.
Put the thermometer into the cream
and if below 02 degrees, place the
jar on tho stove or iu hot water,
stirring with a paddlo which reaches
the bottom until it reaches 02 de
grees. If one is not very watchful
it will run rapidly above tho mark,
or tho heat of the jar, if thick (mine
are tin) may carry it aboyc. If so,
it must bo cooled again. By no
means commence churning if the
cream is too warm. In very cold
weather, when the cream is at a
temperature, the churn should be
warmed by scalding water and (he
churning done in a warm place.
Until it "breaks" the motion may be
rapid, but after that it must be mod
erate else the butter globules will be
broken and uo after care can make
it a superior butter. If too obsti
nate a little hot water may be put
into the churn while slow turning.
I never expect the best results if the
butter comes in Icsb than a half hour.
Whatever the butter may be, and
however carefully worked when ta
ken from the churn, it cannot be
excellent without a second careful
working. As this is a tedious and
laborious part of the work in vory
cold weather, its neglect accounts
for much of the poor butter sent to
market iu winter. It saves labor
and answers very well in cold
weather to re-work it after standing
in a cold room a couple of hours.

this horrible and cold-blooded crime
are most revolting. Tho deceased

eating supper and chatting, when a
sudden dicliarg was heard, and
Mr. Finney tumbled over ou the
fioor and died iu a lew minutes, not

been shot in the back of the head.
Eleven No. 2 buckshot wero found.
Ono of the shots missed tho victim

opposite him with their child in hor
arms. Tho wife said sho hoard foot

sound, and also heard the retreating

been very conspicuous before tho
public since last May. Previous to
then, Finney, who was a bachelor,
lived with his mother near the place
whore the awful crime was commit
ted. Mary Griffey was a hired girl.
Finney and Mary became intimate
and she soon gave birth to a child.
Suit was brought by her against him
for .$20,000 damages for breach of
promise and bastardy. At the trial
last May the jury returned a verdict
for $7,500 for plaintiff. A new trial
was asked for and granted. A week
or ten days before the time for the
second frial a coinpromiso was
effected whereby defendant was to
pay .$350 and costs. This practically
ended the celebrated Grilfey-Fiuney
case. Last August the general pub
lic was startled by the fact that
James R. Finney and Mary E.Griffcy
were married. They went to keep
ing lmusc for themselves four weeks
ago, and were living happily when
tho bloody crime was committed.
Last week two suit3 wero entered
against Finney by lawyers (or fees,
one for $500 and the other for .$1,200.
