A friend in Cre&ton says all that's necessary there is to be a member of the Alliance. The services of minis ters even, have been dispensed with. Mr. and Mrs.S.B.Cowles of Genoa returned from their western trip on Saturday. This was Mr. C's first ab sence from business in tbreo years. The "curved ball" has been the subject of considerable discussion here lately, no one, apparently, seem ing to be able to explain the philoso phy of it. There was no truth in the rumor of several days ago that there was & row among Nebraska men at Denver and that one man was killed and sev eral wounded. All the G. A. R. force except Mc- Allister, had returned by Monday morning. j.ne party starting from here Monday 3 :30 reached Denver by breakfast time.

The deceased was born in Dublin, Ireland, Sept. 1817, and had been a resident of Nebraska since 1871. John G. Gray, principal of the Genoa schools, is mentioned for our coming county superintendent. We know of no one more capable of fill ing the position creditably. Fuller ton Journal. A. J. McKelvey and A. M. Jen nings and Bro. were in town Satur day. A. J. Says he never saw the crops of Boone county look better. A. M. has built himself a new house, out of concrete brick. The Journal is prepared to do very nice job work.

Wanted. At the Transit House, Platte Center, a good girl to do gen eral work. Good wages will be paid a competent girl. Apply at once at the above placo. 14-2 Mk8. T. D. Nickerson. The country newspaper is worth more to its subscribers in a month than its price for a year, and docs more in its neighborhood for nothing than any high official does for his munificent salary. lioscoc Conk ling. S. C. Smith tells us that he once cured a cow of a rattlesnake bite, with common baking soda put on the wound and saturated with vinegar, two applications being sufficient, and he regards it as a specific for rattle snake bite. John G. Geisser of San Antonio, Texas, haB invented a latch-lock that is a very unique affair. A sample may be 6een at this office by any one interested in making a venture of it. Mr. G. is too old a man to engage in active business. Our exchanges are pronouncing against licensing the knife gamblers that are "doing" tho state. One re marks that they took a good deal of money that ought to have gone for pay for groceries and other necessa ries fcr needy families. The great west is in need every where of good solid men who know how to work at something, and who will pick up the golden opportunities lying around looBe for the man who has a purpose in life and a strong will to better his condition. Capt. John Hammond and Supt. Moncrief who recently made a trip into the Long Pine region, had a very pleasant time of it. Mr. M. tells us that there is some fair agricultural land there, plenty of good stock land, and an abundance of sand hills. A young Bohemian named Men chek was drowned in Skull creek, Butler county, July 27th. He was crossing with a team when they be came frightened and ran off the bridge. The Press says he was to have been married the same day. J. Sterliug Morton, chairman of the democratic state committee, has issued a call for a convention at Omaha August 29th, 4 p. m. to nomi nate a candidate for judge of the su preme court and three regents of the university. Platte county is entitled to 11 delegates. F. M. Cookingham is our author ized agent at Humphrey for soliciting subscription, advertising and job work. Business entrusted to him will receive the same attention as if done direct with us. Call on him, give him your home work and your home news, use him well, and he will grow apace. tf M. K. Turner & Co. Since, disposing of his newspapor property here, Mr. Coffroth, late of the Democrat, has had several calls to work in the democratic harvest fields elsewhere. We suppose that proffers will still be considered by him, and that he will select that place which promises to have the best future. We don't know of any solid objection to Mr. Coffroth except bis democracy. I The newspapers east are record ing the usual number of serious cases of diarrhoea among children, caused mostly, it is supposed, by eating im mature fruit and decaying vegetables. The drinking of ice water followed by exposure in the sun is 6aid to con tribute to the death list. "Forever quit fooling with fire arms" is the lesson the O'Neill Banner tries to impress upon boys. Willie Cavenaugh, in trying to force a 6mall revolver ball into a toy pistol nar rowly escaped death the ball struck one of the lower ribs and plowed around about six inches of flesh. Those who have Nebraska land are eneouraged by every indication to hold on to it, not only for homes and farms, but for speculation also. Our stale is just fairly beginning to be understood by the outer world, and tho next three years will probably show a greater rise in values than even the past three. Paddy O'Brien and Tom Thorn ton are in jail on a charge of stealing $400 from one Jones one day last week, while all were at the river for a swim. It seems there was a confes sion of guilt, but a plea of not guilty was entered at the hearing, and in de fault of bail the couple are languish ing in jail. A good housewife from the coun try was in town yesterday having a doctor look at one of her eyes. She had been using poison against bugs and the flipping of the feather threw some drops into the eye, making an ugly combination. The next time greater distance will lend more en chantment to the view. George Lehman returned from Salt Lake Wednesday. He saw John J. Rickly, W. B. Doddridge and J. Gregorius, all old-time Columbus men, and all flourishing. Gregorius had been sick a week, but was up again all right. Mr. Lehman says that Mormons and Gentiles in Salt Lake City are putting up a good many fine buildings this season. A lone woman at Lincoln the other day becoming frightened at the abuse of three tramps who demanded a full meal after the fire had gone out, ran out of the house and unloosed a big dog that had been chained up for ten days, and hissed him on to the tramps. The tramps dropped their dry bread and bologna, and left the premises, standing not on the order of their departure. A boy of Seward named Moore was found guilty the other day of robbing a money drawer and sent to the reform school. It is safe to say there is no town in the land where there are not young boys growing up in idleness, and ripening for criminal deeds. Parents and guardians can do no better for tho young souls and bodies under their charge than to see that they have steady employment and no bad street education. An exchange says there is no gospel truer than the following : "Ho that is good, will infallibly become better, and be that is bad will as cer tainly becomo worse, for vice, virtue and time are tbreo things that never stand still." And yet thero are al ways two sides to a question, and it may bo incidentally said that the man who thinks himself good would best beware, and he who thinks himself bad need npt wholly despair the very fact that he thinks himself bad is a good sign that he is not entire ly so. One day last week Wm. Wills' little child, about three years old, was o'ut playing with the bird dog. Sud denly the dog commenced making a fusa, and Mr. Wills looked to see what was the matter, and saw the dog push the child over, and then stand at its feet, barking. Mr. Wills hastened to the Bpot and found that the dog had pushed the child away from a large rattlesnake, and was standing between the child and the snake. How did that dog know that that child was in danger, for ho must have known it, or why would he protect it ? A few days later the same dog was bit by a rattle snake, but a good dose of whisky brought him out all right. Madison Chronicle. The thirty-seventh semi-annual statement of the condition of the German Insurance Co. of Freeport, III., shows a pretty solid state of affairs. The assets January 1st were $1,185,978.92; July 1st, $1,30S,3S8.29, being an increase of $122,409.37. The excess of receipts over expenditures for the six months was $128,745.38. The first and continuing virtue in business is, confidence, which can only be retained by fair dealing. The business of an insurance company is to be absolutely certain of meeting its contingent liabilities, as they accrue, and the public will mostly patronize those companies that show their affairs well and profitably managed. The German is one of the staunchest of companies, and has a very large business in Platte county and Nebras ka. Insure with Gus. G. Becher. The Dodge county papers are having a little talk about printing for their agricultural society. The up shot of it appears to be that free notices, etc. will not hereafter be pub lished by the Fremont papers, seeing that when any work is to be done for which "there might be a dollar or two in sight for the papers," they are made to bid against Omaha offices. The inference is that Omaha offices can likewise do the free local adver tising if they can. The contract was given to the North Bend Flail and the work done at Omaha. The Flail then beat the air wildly because the Tribune and Herald would not mail supplements concerning the fair with their papers. The Tribune closes an article with this sentiment : "We hold nothing, whatever, against the agri cultural society, but we feel we have been misused in the matter and we only want to pleasantly assert our rights." The Herald: "We have no fight to make. Dodge county ought to get np a good fair, and if we con cludge to let the society run its own fair, we imagine the nntrilistio vinii needn't he offended." Base Ball. Friday last the Keystones of this place and the Arlingtons of Arling ton, Neb., played a game of base ball. The KoyBtonos were strengthened by Messrs. Backus and Hall, while the Arlingtons were weakened by a ride in wagon overland, having started from home, fifty miles away, at 2 o'clock in the morning, and arriving here just in time for the game. Also, they were considerably disconcerted by the fact that they came with only eight men used to playing together. The place of tho ninth was taken by Will DeMoss of Columbus, who had bis thumb so disabled in one of the innings that he was compelled to quit, O. L. Baker finishing the game in his place. The Arlingtons, by their gen tlemanly bearing, produced a very good impression, but the next time they ought to take a good night's rest before the tournament. We give below THE SCORE. KKYSTONKS. R.

By a decision rendered by Judge Post in the district court of Merrick county last week, all persons charged with horse stealing, obtaining money under false pretenses or illegally sell ing liquor before the first day of June last cannot be put upon trial. The court ruled that a demurrer to the indictments was good on the ground that the laws heretofore existing touching said offenses had been re pealed by the last legislature. Judge Post expressed his regret that he had been obliged to come to such a con clusion, but owing to the facts and the precedents shown he could not well do otherwise. This disposes of all the whisky cases in Butler county, excopt the one of Dr. Hirsch which has already been tried. Up to the time of the last session of our state legislature there was a fighting chance to get criminals convicted in case the graud jury indicted them, but now, we regret to say, such is uot the case. This is the result of hasty legislation and is a thorn in the flesh of that body who pretend to make our laws. Ulysses Dispatch. We do not un derstand that any decision has been made in liquor cases, whether they would come uuder the same rule or not. Most people know the benefit of lemonade before breakfast, but few know how it is more than doubled by taking it at night also. Tho way to get the better of a bilious system without the use of pills or quinine is to take the juice of one, two or three lemons, as the appetite craves, in aB much ice water as makes it pleasant to drink, without sugar, before going to bed. In the morning on rising, or half an hour before breakfast, take the juice of one lemon in a goblet of water. This will clear the system of humors and bile with mild efficacy, without any of the weakening effects of calomel or Congress water. People should not irritate the stomach by eating lemons clear. Tho powerful acid of the juice, which is almost cor rosive, infallibly produces inflamma tion after awhile, but diluted so that it does not burn or draw the throat, it does its full medical work without harm, and when the stomach is clear of food haB abundant opportunity to work on the system thoroughly. Prairie Farmer. We copy from the Reporter those parts of the record of the late base ball contest at Seward, that will be more or less interesting to those of our readers who have watched the contest : "Since the defeat sustained by the Blodgetts at Columbus they have been very anxious to again meet the Key stones and try and redeem their rep utation, and they went into this game with a determination to do their best to win. The game was witnessed by a large number of people, probably about five hundred being on the ground. Considerable enthusiasm was mani fested, good playing on either side being heartily cheered. The best of feeling prevailed on both sides during the game. The Keystone boys are a gentlemanly set of fellows, and the umpire, G. W. Phillips, of Columbus, gave excellent satisfaction by his fair and impartial decisions all through the game. Weaver, the catcher of the Key stones, made a very fine fly catch." We notice that, all around, Ne braska business men arc looking clos er after the roads leading to their towns. The best towns will make a special effort to have excellent roads, for these help to bring custom. Time" is such a very strong element of west ern farm life that it mu3t be consid ered. That is the main thing that makes crearaeiies in favor with the farming community the day or two in every week, saved from churning and marketing. Good roads make easy travel, taking less time and al lowing larger loads. Now that fenced fields are becoming common, and travel cannot take to a new sod when the old wears through, the road ques tion must be looked atter a little more closely. Platte Co. Iastitate. The annual normal institute for Platte county will begin Monday, August 13tb, 9 a. m. in Columbus. All teachers who expect to teach in tho county are expected to attend. The law compels the Superintendent to hold institutes, provides for their support, and implies that the public sentiment which called the law into being, demands the attendance of the teachers of pnblic schools. 10-5 J. E. Moncbizf. Baatpkrey. Is old machinery profitable? is the latest conundrum. Dr. Hampton has arrived, and will build immediately. The country people are improving bridges aud roads leading to Hum phrey. Wm. Eimers is raising an addition to his store, we understand for living rooms. F. M. Cookingham will probably build himself a residence soon in this town, having purchased a lot near where he now hves. We do not understand the phrase, "Gott in Hinimel," but that is what Bentz said when his chimney fell down at Jacob Steffis's. The people are expecting a railroad to run through thia town. The sur vey runs from Fremont to Genoa. We hail with delight the prospect of an opposition road. C. D. Murphy has been treating himself to a new baggy, and with his new horse he claims the road &c. The postmaster says the Journal has nearly doubled in subscription at this place, and still there is room for more. There is only one subscri ber to the Democrat. How is that for Humphrey. Later. I have learned there are two and one of them takes the Journal to receive the fullest and best news. Presldeat. Farmers are busy harvesting. Mr. William Tyler's countenance wears an unusual bright smile, cause, a young daughter. The school in district 39, taught by Beckie M. Elliott, closed on the 14th ult. with a public pic-nic. Mr. W. Sip pie is now located in his new house and says there is only one thing lacking to complete his happiness a wife. The lawn fete held in Mr. Gillan's grove on the evening of the 18th ult., for the benefit of the Monroe Congre gational church, was a grand success, financially and socially ; an arbor was erected in the space between the trees, under which were the ice-cream ta bles. On the west side was a flower stand over which Miss Allic Gillan presided, with her usual pleasant smile. On the east was the lemonade and candy stand, where we found Messrs. W. Gillan and W. Sipple dealing out the dainties to all who wished to indulge. The lemonade was drawn out of a well by Miss Maud Gillan, who was dressed in Oriental costume representing Rebec ca at the well. Music was furnished by the ladies aud was highly appre ciated by all. Refreshments were served by the young ladies, who were assisted by a few gallant gentlemen who seemed anxious to lighten their labors. This being Rev. Crawford's birthday, the ladies of the sewing society presented him with a large cake furnished to the society by Mrs. J. A. Ziegler. Genoa was well rep resented and everybody went away well pleased with the evenings enter tainment. Now and Then. Real Etitate Transfer.

District Attorney Roberts informs us he had sent a man.to the peniten tiary from.; every county so far, and for that reason worked so hard to send up Brown, as he said he wanted a representative from Merrick county. The special term of court succeed ed in cleaning up the'Jdocket pretty well. Judge Post has given very good satisfaction in this county. A still greater amount of work would have been done had it not been a busy time among the farmers, and the judge wauted to get through as soon as possible. The trial of Brown for disposing of mortgaged property came off last Thursday, and resulted in sendiug the defendant to the pen for a year and a half. The jury was out all night, agreeing Friday morning,when Judge Post sentenced the prisoner. Shoriff Hopkins took him to Lincoln Tuesday morning. It is said Brown would have stood a good chance of getting loose had he not given him self away while on the stand. The Deerlag lllader. Lost Creek, July 16, '83. Messrs.
