A friend tells us that on the day of the alleged show at Platte Center a very disgraceful fight took place between two men supposed to belong to the outfit the most disgraceful feature being that about 50 men were willing spectators for 15 minutes, urging the combatants to fight.

Journal of July 20tb, 6ays: "The railroad survey is completed between Genoa and Fuller ton and the surveyors have gone on up the Cedar. The line was run slan tendicularly through O. E.

Amos Brock is Btaying in Colum bus, having just returned from Eng land. Eight years since he sold his homestead for $450, and having a few greenbacks oyer and above present need, started for the old country ; he returned yesterday and is astonished at the change, the 6ame farm having sold since for $2,000. and surprised to find land impossible to get for the price he sold. I missed it, said he, when I left. We are indebted to Hon. W. A. McAllister for a copy of the report of the special railroad committee of the Nebraska Legislature and testimony taken before the committee ; also tes timony taken by the Senate special committee appointed for the purpose of investigating the management of the Nebraska Hospital for the insane.

Long life to Brothers Hall & Ellis, and may they reap the financial reward which their good paper so richly deserves. Leander McFarland, who has but begun to learn the printer's art, met with a painful mishap Wednesday last. He reached a second time for a priuted card on the job press, but its merciless iron jaws closed on his left haud, mashing the end of the little finger and splitting it in two, about three-fourths of an inch. The remain der of the hand was saved from se vere injury by the position of the fingers. The lad bore up bravely under the severe nervous strain. There will be just about so many people go to the show anyhow, whether the same is good, bad or indifferent. If the clown is a genius in his way, the laugh can come off spontaneously on the inside of the canvaB, but if the entire outfit is af ter the catch-penny style, then the spectators can well hold their sides together until they are very kindly dismissed, and do their laughing a day or two after, when they happen to get a little time to think of the at tempts at jokes. The Schuyler Herald, in recount ing incidents oithe storm of this sea son says: "John Keller's house in Richland precinct, was blown over but the family had taken refuge in the cellar and were not injured. Wal len Cameron's large hay barn abont four miles west of town was blown over and almost completely demolish ed, entailing a loss of about $1,200. Mr. C. is the heaviest loser we have yet heard of. A Mr. Hogle's bouse in Grant Precinct was moved about eight feet, and John Jenkins' barn west of town was blown down. D. A. Jenkins' barn in southwest Schuy ler was blown down, leaving his hors es, which were in it, uninjured." J. W. and P. W. Lynch went to Rosebud Indian Agency last week to make a short visit to their brother, returning Friday. The great sun dance was to come off shortly. It is in this dance that the devotees muti late themselves to show their "brav ery" and appease their "god," and in which some very crnel things occur, such as slitting the flesh on the back, putting a rope through, tying this to a pole, the devotee meanwhile danc ing, and looking at the sun until the flesh is lacerated, and the rope loosen ed. The government authorities and the better sort among the Indians have been trying to persuade the In dians against holding the dance, but without avail, it seems. There were about 8,000 Indians present at the Agency. The Platte Center base ball club came up last Tuesday and played the Madison nine a match game. They played nine innings on each side and the 6core stood 25 to 15 in favor of the Platte Center club. On the first innings our boys did some very poor playing, making only two runs, while the P. C'b made sixteen. After that our boys played better and held their opponents well to the mark and gain ed some on them, the remaining eight innings scoring 13 to 11 in favor of our boys. The game passed off very pleasantly, there being but very lit tle fault finding and quarrelling. The umpire was a Platte Center man, but was very fair in his decisions, favor ing, if anything the Madison club. Our boys expect to play a return game soon. Chronicle. Amti-MoMopoly CoHveBtin. The Anti-Monopolists of Platte Co. will hold their convention at the Court House in Columbus, Wednes day, August 29th, 1883, at 1 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of placing iu nomination candidates for the follow ing offices: One County Judge, 2 Commissioners, 1 County Clerk, 1 Treasurer, 1 Clerk of District Court, 1 Sheriff, 1 Sup't. of Schools, and to transact any other business that may properly come before the convention.

It is recommend ed that the meeting to be held for selecting delegates, be held not later than August 18. Those wishing to form Alliances before the convention Bbould send word to the undersigned at Creston post-office, informing him of the evening of meeting. Niels Olson, Cen. Committeeman for Platte Co. Suggestions from the August American Agriculturist: For fall fod der white turnips may be sown now. Oat or barley stubble when the soil is rich can be turned under and produce 600 bushels or more of late turnips per acre. Pigs for early fall market need to be pushed vigorously, with abundant feed at the trough. When a crop or any kind is off, at once clear up the refuse. Some varieties of peaches are reproduced with great fidelity from the seed. If you cannot place the lower end of a lightning rod in the moist earth, don't put up a rod. Heredity counts for as much in vegetable as in animal life. To get maximum crops you must have seed perfect after its kind. Select your ears in August or September as they stand on the stalk. Dry the ears per fectly after they have thoroughly ripened, and plant only the best. Experience and observation have con vinced ub that a large per cent of swine disease is produced by the dis ease germs being carried into the 6tomacb in foul water. In August hogs suffer the most from foul wa ter. Avoid farm mortgages, unless it seems absolutely necessary ; do not, to build a fine house ; to buy more land absolute certainty is rare, mis taken calculation is common. To se cure a good yield of fall wheat, it is best to plow the ground as soon after harvest as possible. Raia and air are nature's two great disintegrating forces. Seeds germinate quickly and plants grow rapidly in a firm seed bed. Early plowing will destroy weeds before they mature their seeds. J Base Balk The second game between the Key stones and the Blodgetts was played at Seward Friday. The Keystones were accompanied to Seward by a uumber of frieuds; they were met at the depot by deputations from the Blodgetts and escorted by the Band to their hotel quarters, and were so hand somely treated from the first moment to the last, that they were overcome. The Blodgetts, it seems, know how to win the score along with the hearts of their opponents. A history of the contest will be interesting to those who know the game. THS KKCORD BY INNINGS.

Routik has concluded to stav and locate here; he with Wm. Ripp have been earnestly at work making necessary arrangements to have the town incorporated, with good success, during the last week. The ladies aid society of this place held an ice cream festival at Sher wood's place last Wednesday eveniug with good success. A load of lively young people from Creston (friends of the society) kept things lively with innocent games, with intermissions of cream. We hope these sociables will be kept up for the advancement of society in this place aud vicinity. Humphrey still lives and grows. We learn that Mr. Goldsmith intends coming to town and start a restaurant. A gentleman from Wisconsin, we learn from Jacob Stefiis, will be here soon and build and conduct a meat market.

Hampton of Galva, Illinois, requesting him to find a place to store his furniture already on the road until he could build him a residence in this place. Sparks from Crextoa. West and Center Creston school will close next Friday. The recent hail storm greatly dam aged the crops, especially small grain, throughout the northern part of the county.

July 20, 1833. Young Reporter. Colfax County. From the Schuyler Sun. Mrs. Lutb, of Lost Creek, has been visiting former neighbors in Colfax county, the past week. Wm. Draper contemplates a trip soon to the Hot Springs, for the im provement of his health. The little son of the section foreman at this place was scalded so badly last Saturday from the upsetting of a pan of boiling water, that ho died that night. There has always got to be about so much wind work to about so much railroad and that's the reason we know the new road now being dis cussed is not yet assured ; there has not been enough wind work, as yet. A little three - year - old iu west Schuyler was using his kitten pret'y roughly the other day, and when be ing asked by his parent what he was doiug to it, answered that '"he was trying to gel the scratch out of it."

On the death of Patrick Rivet who departed this life May 15th, 1883, at the age of 20 years and 4 months. No foot fall patters on the stair No sweet voice echoes in the hall, Through tears we see his vacant chair, 9 And darkness hovers over all. So bright those eves death stooped to close, So sweet that voice we hear no more, So true that heart in death's repose, So deep aud pure the love be bore. We miss him in the smiling day. We miss him in the solemn night, O wanderer on the starlit way Thou wert of day and eve our light. O can we live the changing years Without the lost and darling one And say amid our gloom and tears "Ue wills it, aud his will be done!" And yet we mourn thee not as gone Beyond the vale forever more; We wait, "but ab, we wait not long To meet thee on a fairer shore. Sleep, Patrick, where in summer time Love-planted flowers at morn shall blow, And summer stars from heights sublime Above thy pillow gleam and glow. Platte Center, May 20th, 1SS3. The lcerlne Hinder.
