ed. E. A. Blodgett took a grist of
wheat to mill recently, but never got

the best rule to adopt.
Nebraska has one newspaper to
every 2,400 persons, which -is more
papers to the population than any
state east of the Mississippi river, re

lowest percentage of illiterate people
of any state of the Union.

scarce in some parts, people going to
bed an hour before sundown to keep
warm, and save fuel for cooking. In
several towns where be stopped, they
had no wells, but hauled their water
from creeks five to ten miles off. The
water is very strongly impregnated
with alkali.
A democratic politician of Cres
ton, who corresponds for our cotem
porary, finds fault with the Alliance
there for daring to lead off in celebra
tion of the Fourth of July, and calls
down upon their devoted heads, the
condemnation of the public. The
probability is that the Alliance will
not pass a resolution requiring any
one to attend who doesn't wish to go,
and that they will keep right along
with the celebration as they have
planned it
Three great mysteries in astron
omy which have hitherto been unex
plained, to all astronomers explained
and elucidated by an uncelebrated
professor of this city, viz : 1st. Com
ets, their use, their nature, and the
cause of their mysterious forms and
actions. 2d. The cause of so-called
spots on the sun. 3d. The cause of
the orbits of the planets not being
circles, but ellipses. On these three
themes I feel sure that I can fully and
satisfactorily answer all questions that
may be propounded. The first article
will appear shortly. S.
As we go to press Tuesday after
noons, wo can give nothing of the
proceedings, so far, of State S. S. As
sociation. The programme this (Wed
nesday) afternoon includes addresses
by Rev. Taggert of Gibbon and S.
Burns of Omaha; to-morrow fore
noon, an address by Rev. Ringland of
Hastings ; in the afternoon, addresses
by Revs. Woods of York and Burli
son of North Platte ; in the evening,
by Rev. Hulbert of Fremont A very
interesting time is expected through
out, the programme providing for
business and entertainment, as well as
for instruction in spiritual matters.
From Sup't. Moncrief'a annual
report we gather some interesting
statistics to which we shall refer again
when we have more space. Platte
county has 69 school houses; 3894
children of school age, 2309 'enrolled,
and 1370 in average attendance. The
number of districts which have had at
least six months school is 30; four
months, 53; three months, 13. The
value of school property $26,943 ; cost
of schools, including teachers' wages,
&c., and expenditures of all kinds,
$24,457; total indebtedness, $12,233;
money on hands in county treasury,
$5,575 ; same, district treasurers, $6,
690. Sup't employed 191 days ; visits
114, total compensation $677.
Rumors have been thick as cy
clones concerning the strange appear
ance of a sea monster at Silver Creek.
From reliable gentlemen we learn the
following: Two or three weeks ago
a strange animal was seen in the
Platte near Silver Creek. Li's body
being as long "as a telegraph pole,"
and aa large, around as a barrel, and
walking on eight legs. A week ago
last Sunday crowds of carriages visit
ed the town from adjoining villages,
for everybody wanted to see the
monster. We are positively informed
by the best of men, that quite a good
many people did see the animal,
among whom we meation, Mrs.Asher,
Alonzo Crawford and Mr. Riddle,
who is, we believe, a merchant of
Silver Creek. The assessor also in
spected it closely. It stayed about a
week, and is .generally pronounced a
"sea-horse" or "red-horse," such as is
often seen on the Pacific coast; but
why or how it came among the "bug
eaters" is a mystery. Farmers' Advocate.
The Jaae Maces.
If the management had had the
selection of the weather, from all the
samples we have bad of it this spring
they could not have chosen two more
favorable days for the races, in every
respect neither too cold nor too
warm, too wet or too dry.
The attendance might have been a
great deal larger, and doubtless would
have been if the weather preceding
had been continuously fine so that
farmers could have felt more freely
that they bad a day or two to spare
from their work.
From the Secretary's office we get
the following results: Pony running

At times during the races the in
terest taken in the probable results
was more than lively it was all
absorbing for some of the spectators.
The Columbus June races having
become a fixture, increasing interest
may be looked for, next season.

Mr. Newell South has commenced
business in his new store; people
compliment him on his taste in build
ing a compact, neat store. Let suc
cess crown bia efforts.
Madison sportsmen went through
here from the races looking down
hearted ; evidently Platte county air
did not agree with them. Perhaps
though they bet on the wrong horse.
Farmers are not over jubilant about
the corn crop as it is quite backward,
yet they say that small grain and
grass has never looked better at this
time of year. Farmers, brace up;
labor is nearly always crowned with
success.
New buildings are still booming.
Mr. D. J. Dreebert will build. him a
dwelling this week. Mr. Herman
Teiskotter will start bis addition.
Jacob Steffes having nearly completed
his saloon will start his hotel build
ing. Mr. C. Lambert will build as
soon as he can get carpenters, and so
the work goes on.
Sunday services at the school-house.
After an interesting sermon delivered
by Rev. Pangborn, a Sunday school
was organized by electing Mr. C. H.
Graham, sup't ; A. II. Miller, assist
ant ; G. W. Clark, sec'y ; F. M. Cook
ingbam, treas.; a large attendance
shows that an interest is felt in the
young and rising generation of this
place. Two o'clock is the hour ap
pointed for next Sabbath. All are
invited to attend. C.
Sparks frat Crestea.
J. H. Milslagle of Granville bad a
horse seriously injured by a barb
wire fence. The animal, while at
tempting to jump it, became entan
gled and ran for several rods along
the fence, which severely cut its leg.
Creston vocalists are practising for
the "Fourth." We have some fine
singers, and it is generally supposed
that they will make a "show" as good
as similar organizations, many of
whom have superior facilities for ac
quiring the art of music.
The attention of the people of
Creston is invited to the fact that the
efficiency of the paper which is to be
read at the celebration will greatly
depend upon the number and value
of the contributions sent iu for publi
cation. Every one is earnestly re
quested to write an article suitable
for the occasion, and forward it by
mail or otherwise to P. J. Bentz,
editor. Name of author should ac
company each commnnication, not for
publication, unless desired, but as a
safeguard against anonymous writ
ings, which usually are not fit for
publication. All communications, to
insure insertion, must be in before
the 27th of Jnne.

A veterinary surgeon says that
the way to determine whether a horse
has the glanders is to allow the dis
cbarge from the nose to drop into a
bucket of pure water; if the matter
sinks to the bottom the disease is
glanders, and the horse should be
shot at once. This disease is having
quite a run In Illinois, and we have
heard of at least four or five cases of
it in Platte county very recently. It
is regarded as very contagious and
dangerous, both to man and horse,
and hence our statutes provide that it
shall not be lawful to use, let, sell or
permit to run at large any horse,
mole or ass diseased with the glan
ders, and that any person violating
the statute shall pay a fine of not less
than $5 nor more than $50, besides
being liable for all damages.

All parties holding 'contracts 'on
Union Pacific land on which pay
ments are delinquent, had better call
on us at once, as a large number of
contracts have been recently cancelled
by the Land Department, and the
land will be re-sold to first applicant
