An attempt was made by burglars
one night last week to enter the
house of Mr. Jackson, living in the
eastern part of the city. No mascu
line protection was in the house, and
the cries of alarm shouted by the
ladies from a window frightened
away the burglars. They had torn
away a screen from a window, and
the noise made attracted attention
and caused the alarm.
It is estimated that the corn crop
in the United States this year will
amount to 1,800,000,000 bushels, the
best and largest crop the country ever
produced. Now, if the transportation
companies will vouchsafe to let the
producer have some little share in the
good prices it will be a generosity and
a maguauiraity which will moderate
somewhat thn vnrv infpnsn foolinc nf
injustice that rankles in tho breasts of
the producers.

G. W. Hulst of this city and Mr.
Tloagland and other gentlemen from
Omaha whose names we did not learn,
started last Thursday for a hunting
excursion up in the Long Pine coun

over the Norfolk branch and at that
place will meet "Buck" Taylor, (who
goes with the party as guide), with
team, and the outfit thus made com
plete will take the St. Paul & Sioux
City road to the hunting grounds.
No doubt the party will have a jolly
good time.
A co-partnership has been formed
between Mr. Chas. Schroeder, our

Mr. S., the new firm are making

experience into the business, and is
well known throughout the state as
having for several years been engaged
as agent for noted eastern hardware,
wind mill and pump houses.

too numerous to mention, among
which may be named, slates, toys,
periodical literature, cigars, candies
etc. Mr. Slattery is also engaged in
the sale of the Domestic sewing ma
chine, the very best for family use.
None other can excel it in range and
character of work performed. Any
thing wanted in his line, if not in
stock, will be ordered on short notice.
Call and examine goods and prices.

The outlook for business during
the fall and winter is certainly en
couraging, and general congratula
tions may be indulged in. The corn
crop is large in acreage and good in
quality, probably the best in all
respects that this country haB ever
produced ; and all other crops have
yielded abundantly nothing that is
raised in Nebraska soil being a failure.
Farmers, as a general thing are not
oppressed with debt for machinery
and obliged in consequence to hurry
their produce into the market whether
favorable or unfavorable, the bulk of
the money therefor going out of the
country and into the coffers of eastern
capitalists a great source of past
hard times among our farmers and a
detriment to home business interests
crenerally. But, on the contrary they
can abide their time for putting their
products on the market, considering
their own convenience and best in
torooto in the matter, at the expense
of no one, and without paying a
bankrupting interest for the privi
lege. And our business men, whose
prosperity goes hand in hand with
the farmer, may feel entirely satisfied
with the situation, for trade is bound
to profit by the abundant home re
sources and the general prosperity of
tho country.
We heard one life long republican
ask "where M. K. Turner had got
that execrable picture of Guiieau he
had in the Journal." Democrat.
There is no accounting for the
vagaries of cranks. The resemblance
of the Journal picture to the late
Guiteau is in the mind of the "lifu
:ong republican." Look out for him ;
his craze may take a serious turn..
The friend of the Central City
Courier man will need to look after
him a little until the effects of a re
cent effort have had time to wear off.
He breaks out in this fashion :
"Now the weather's turning cold,
and the married man is told that the
stove must be put up, and mutters
'bosh.' Then he daubs his face with
soot, drops the stove .upon his foot,
and stands upon his other leg and
swears 'by-gosb.' "

Editor Journal : Please allow me
through your paper to offer my sin
cere thanks to the people of your city
and to many in other parts of the
county for their labor and kindness to
me during my long spell of sickness.
Their names are too numerous to
mention, but all who visited me or
gave assistance know it, and all please
accept my thanks. I was here with
out a relative (except a short visit
from a brother,) but I found many
who were as kind as relatives, and
who treated me as though I were a
brother or a son. Such acts of kind
ness will not soon be forgotten and I
hope none of you will ever know
what it is to suffer as I have. To my
physician, Dr. Bonesteel, my heartfelt
thanks arc also due.

A serious accident happened to
the little five-year-old daughter of
M. O'Hern, residing near Duncan,
Friday last. It appears that the chil
dren of the family have been in the
habit of making quite free with a
pony used for herding purposes on
the farm, and considered, by the
parents not in the least danger
thereby, as it has always displayed a
remarkably docile disposition. At
the time of the accident, the little
girl was running behind the pony,
holding to its tail while another child
rode upon its back, when suddenly,
with a vicious kick, it planted its
foot in the lace of the child behind. -A
bad cut on oue side of the fore
head waB at first supposed to be the
most serious result, until symptoms
indicating the dangerous nature of
the wound caused tho mother to
telegraph for Mr. O'Hern, who was
engaged at work.ou a section of the
St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad. On
Saturday the child was brought to
this city, and a surgical examination
showed the skull to be fractured, and
depressed aud the brain badly wound
ed. A council of physicians was
held which resulted in a surgical
operation. A portion of the injured
skull was removed and the pressure
relieved, and the condition ot the
little sufferer at this writing is as
favorable as could be expected,
though her situation is criticle.

The Game Lawn.
Farmers have an interest in pro
tecting themselves from the encroach
ments of sportsmen upon their
premises that is not always taken into
consideration and allowed to have
due weight with this class ; and when
notified by any person not to hunt
upon his lands, apt to consider the
action selfish and not justified by
sufficient reason to entitle it to con
sideration. But any candid person
will admit that when hunting upon
their premises at certain seasons of
the year, they are obliging farmers
to take a great risk of being burned
out, and anyone at all acquainted with
the destruction and loss caused by
prairie fires in this country, will ad
mit that too much care cannot be
taken to guard against even a pos
sibility of the accidental setting of
fire. The game laws of the state
make it trespass to hunt upon the
lands of another without his consent.
For the beuefit of sportsmen we
quote from the compiled statutes of
1SS1, page 675, section 8G :
"It shall be unlawful for any person
to go upon the premises of another
person or corporation for the purpose
of hunting, trapping, netting ensnar
ing, or killing any animal or bird at
any season of the year, unless by the
consent of the owner or owners of
said premises."
"And any peraon who shall go
upon the land of another, in violation
of this section, shall, upon conviction
thereof, pay for inch offense in any
sum not lesB than five dollars, nor
more than fifty dollars, and shall be
liable to the owners of the premises
in an action for trespass."
Editor Journal: I chanced to
notice an article in the Democrat of
Sept. 30th, headed "In Memoriam,"
from the pen of a talented gentleman,
signed "J. J. M." in which he says
that the Alliance of Platte county died
on the 20th of Sept. at Platte Center,
Neb. Now, Mr. Editor, I was a lis
tener at that meeting aud convention
and am not a member of the Alliance,
nor an office seeker, and there is no
doubt there was some such men as
"J. J. M." at that convention ready
and in fact tried to administer to
the Alliance of that convention a nos
trum dose that would have been sure
death, and perhaps one or two tried
the great remedy but it. would not lay
on their stomachs, and since then have
throwed it up and are now in line,
marching boldly on to victory. I
wonder if "J. J. M." has heard from
Hastings. If he has me thinks I 6ee
him crawling in his hole and trying
to draw the hole in after him ; but I
say leave the hole open, for in No
vember your monopoly friends will
want to go in too. The gentleman's
charges against Mr. Olson are not
true and will not even cast a shadow
on his path, but he will march off with
two-thirds of the entire vote of Platte
county. The talented gentleman says
the reason Mr. Hammond is endorsed
is because he is always in favor of the
under dog; 60 he calls you farmers
the under dog dogs because no man
can buy. But Mr. Hammond is in
favor of the farmer and honest labor,
and you will of course elect him aud
be will try and release you from that
accursed top dog, monopoly. Tho
gentleman says they had the audacity
to float in the face of the democratic
Alliance men the "bloody shirt." I
was there aud no language was used
by any member of that Alliance that
could be construed in that way not
in my hearing, and I think many will
say the same. He also says Mr. Tur
ner took no sides with the Alliance
until E. K. Valentine got after him.
Well now, that beats me! But he
ain't to blame ; his mind is wandering.
M. K. is after Val. and if he'll catch
him, yes and pass him and beat him
lets see how far well from West
Point, Neb., to Washington, D. C. I
will just let "J. J. M." figure up how
far that is while he is mourning o.ver
the death of his friend monopoly.
Now 1 wish to say a word to the
farmer and friends of honest labor.
You have organized yourselves to
gether for a noble object and you are
moving on the enemie's strong-hold.
Stand firm to your principles; stand
shoulder to shoulder together in this
great work which is to give you lib
erty and rights which belong to hon
est sons of toil. Will you or will you
not lift from your necks the accursed
yoke of monopoly and corporation ? It
is for you to say. Freedom is within
your grasp. Will you be free, or will
you continue to be slaves? Farmers,
you have seen the folly of voting for
party; throw it aside and vote for
men, men that have no stain on their
character, men that havo been tried
and found true; men that have too
much honor to sell themselves to those
sharks that are ever ready to rob you
and yours of your hard earned dollar.
Vote for men that will stand by you
and fight back that numerous throng
of money suckers that are seeking to
burden you with taxation to fill the
pockets of such men as voted for the
River and Harbor steal. Farmers the
time has come, and that great monop
oly feels your power. It trembles at
your movements. They will exert
themselves in every way to weaken
your ranks, but I beseech you to stand
firm. Do not let such as "J. J. M."
discourage you. He, no doubt, has
au object. Hold fast to that anti
monopoly principle aud cast your
votes in accordance, and the time is
not far distant when your efforts will
be crowned with success. Falter not
but march boldly on, and November
7th you will see your emblem, anti
raonopoly, at the mast-head. Pat.
Spark front Creston.
East Creston school expects a visit
from P. J. Coleman, a young and
wide-a-wake teacher of this county,
Friday next.
Sickness and threshing have with
held, for the last three weeks, a great
many scholars fronittending school
at East Creston.
Rov. Dr. John Scuddar, A. M., M.
D., is talking of going back to India,
as a missionary before long.
If "J. J. M." correspondent of tho
Columbus Democrat, was a gentleman
and could prove the assertions which
he made in the Democrat regarding
Niels Olson (nominee for county com
missioner), we think that ho would
not have hesitated in giving the read
ers of that paper his entire name. But,
instead of being a man he is "a wolf
in sheep's clothes" crawling round the
bush, making false assertions, assail
ing a gentleman's character, and lastly
furuishiug us the grand appellation of
"J. J. M." without his place of resi
dence or date of writing. Now, how
are we to know who this "J. J. M." is?
Are we to suppose that he is a resi
dent of Platte county, a nihilist of
Russia, an escaped lunatic of some in
sane asylum, or a noted forger of
untruths? We certainly must class
him with tho latter, if we are to judge
from his slanderous, unfounded state
ment in the Democrat. He says,
"Niels Olson has violated his pledge,
debased his estate, and left his ambi
tion corrupt his honor." But our
precious "J. J. M." (who, accord
ing to bis statement, evidently has
been so engrossed iu the description
of his city belle, as to forget his sub
ject), has failed to show in what man
ner he (Mr. Olson) has corrupted his
honor, etc. Again, "J. J. M." asserts
that 'N. Olson is a colleague of mo
nopolists under cover of the Alliance,"
which is as false as the theory of the
earth's flatness. I would advise those
who are inclined to believe "J. J.
M's." unmanly report, to come to
Creston, Niels Olson's home, and ask
every man in the precinct regarding
Mr. Olson's character and honor, and
be convinced, if a whole precinct's
testimony can convince you, that he
is a gentleman. In closing, I wish to
say, that I am neither an Alliance
man, nor do I wish to draw a veil
over Alliance errors, but I have fre
quented their meetings and know that
N. Olson is too much of a gentleman
to be guilty of such a disrespectful
act as "J. J. M." represents him to be.
If "J. J. M." is interested enough in
this, and wants to know the writer's
name, let him inquire at Hon. M. K.
Turner's ini.er sanctum.
Oct 5, '82. Young Reporter.
Haace County Fair at Genoa.
Mr. Editor : You are wide awake
to the interest of our county I know,
and I doubt not but you feel some
interest in the prosperity of a young
neighbor in the shape of a county.
Your correspondent feeling that way
went to Genoa to the fair, and he was
not disappointed. The weather being
at first such that the board thought of
postponing the fair, and this being
rumored about, it rather dampened
the interest iu it, and no doubt dam
aged the enterprise to some extent,
but in spite of this and its being a new
thing I cannot but say it was good.
There was quite a display of good
stock, especially cattle, and a goodly
number of blue and red ribbons were
fluttering in the breeze. Some agri
cultural products, such as beets, pota
toes, corn and other things were just
splcudid. The ladies stayed not be
hind, but made a fine display of
ueedle and fancy work. Above all
this the writer found the people polite
and obliging. He was of course
pleased with this, and still more that
he was permitted to carry off a few
premiums ou his cattle, and that be
sides he saw the blue ribbon floating
from two males others had bought of
him. a. II.
