The Journal is a new candidate
for public favor at Fremont At this
distance we can see no use for a fourth
paper in Dodge county, but could
hope nevertheless that there is pasture
enough for all.
There was some kind of a per
sonal renconter on 12th-at. Monday
evening, but as there was no serious
loss of blood or bones, and as the
Joubsal. is not a Police Gazette, we
take no further note of it.
We understand that the school
board have decided to place Miss
Coulter in charge of the primary de
partment iu the west school house
and Miss Louise Bauer the interme
diate department in the east school.
W. H. Randall left us Monday a
splendid specimen of millet, grown
on the farm of J. P. Becker, north of
the city. Undoubtedly this is one of
the best paying crops for Nebraska
farmers to raise and more of them are
finding it out each year.
Sheriff Gregg of Fremont was in
town Friday. We didn't inquire his
business here, but no doubt he was
in the line of his duty. Sheriff Gregg
is one of those officials who enjoys
getting after criminal?, and he seldom
fails to bring his man down, or bring
him in, in good shape.
Mr. Campbell of the Omaha Re
publican was in town Friday, on his
way back to headquarters. He has
been over a considerable portion of
the state lately, and says that he never
before saw such crops in Nebraska,
and, in some parts, notably the Logan
valley, he never saw them excelled
anywhere.
Benj. R. Cowdery, Esq. of this city
received the appointment Aug. 7th as
deputy collector of U. S. revenue.
His field is north Nebraska and his
duties will not necessitate his remov
al from the city, nor interfere with
the business in which he 13 engaged.
We believe that Mr. Cowdery will
make an efficient officer.
F. M. Cookingham is our author
ized agent at Humphrey for soliciting

news, use him well, and he will grow
apace. tf M. K. Turner & Co.
Thursday a fire broke out in the
small, brick smoke house of Weber
& Knobel in the rear of their meat
market. Some pieces of meat fell
into the fire, and the attendant open
ed the door, giving fuel to the flame.
The fire department were called out,
but the fire was extinguished before
they got to the ground. Loss about
$25.
An Ohio man thought to save ex
penses of bean poles by planting a
sun-flower seed in each hill of beans.
The first time he saw the combination
crop it looked first rate and promised
to be a fine success. The second time
he viewed them, the sun-flower had
grown so much faster than the beans,
that it had pulled them all up by the
roots.
A full democratic ticket has been
placed in the field in Merrick Co.
It seems to be a preconcerted matter
all along the line down from the next
candidate for president, Mr. Tilden, to
make a specially strong, active, untir
ing campaign this fall, as preliminary
to the grand campaigning of next
year, when, it is proposed to move the
political heavens and earth to gain the
presidency.
We understand that Joseph Gard
ner of school district No.S has brought
suit against certain other persons for
the recovery of some $312. As we un
derstand, he claims to be treasurer of
the district, and the three other per
sons claim they constitute the mem
bers o f the board. It is a question,vir
tually. of who is treasurer of the dis
trict, and it promises to be an interes
ting legal contest.
Prof. W. P. Jones of Chicago met
a number of our citizens at a meeting
at City Hall Tuesday evening to talk
over a project of establishing here a
i normal school. Hon. L. Gerrard,
presided. The meeting resulted in the
appointment of an executive commit
tee of five, consisting of M. K. Turner,
J. P. Becker, S. C. Smith, D. Schup
bach and J. E. North to digest plans
for organization, and report at a
future meeting, the prospect for
socceii.

The anti-monopoly party met at
the Court House in Columbus, Neb.,
Aug. 11th, 1883, at 7:30 o'clock p. m.
for the purpose of organizing an anti
monopoly league. Meeting was call
ed to order by Capt. John Hammond.
On motion, John S. Freeman, Esq.,
was elected as chairman of the meet
ing, and Hon. W. A. McAllister was
nominated as secretary, bat for rea
sons declined to act, stating that he
was a republican. Thos. Potts was
nominated as secretary bat he de
clined to act. C. A. Newman was
then nominated as secretary bat ac
cepted as temporary secretary only,
for the purpose of effecting an organ
ization, he not being a member of the
anti-monopory party.
The chairman then read the decla
ration of the principles of the anti
monopoly league.
Niels Olson, Esq., was called upon
to explain the principles of the anti
monopoly party. Mr. Olson then
made a very instructive speech ex
plaining in full the principles of the
party of which he is a member.
John S. Freeman, Esq., was then
called upon and explained the princi
ples of the anti-monopoly party in a
very neat speech.
Col. Neidig was then called upon
to address the meeting; he requested
D. L. Bruen to explain the declara
tion o'f principles of the anti-monopoly
league as he would read them by
articles. '
Mr. Bruen was called upon and
made an address to the meeting ex
plaining the principles of the -anti-monopoly
party.
John J. Sullivan, Esq., was then
called upon and made a few remarks,
stating that he did not desire to leave
the democratic party at present.
W. N. Hensley, Esq., was then
called upon and made a very neat
democratic speech.
After questioning Mr. Hensley by
Messrs. Olson and Freeman, Captain
John Hammond was called upon and
made a very appropriate address of
the doings of the republican and dem
ocratic parties.
After a few remarks pro and con,
it was moved and carried that the
organization proceed to business, and
the following named persons signed
their names to the declaration of
principles of the anti-monopoly league
and became members thereof, to wit :
H. P. Bower, T. A. Potts, James Mc
Allister, Niels Olson, H. P. Coolidge,
H. S. Redenbaugh, J. S. Freeman.
Moved and carried that the league
adjourn until Saturday, Aug. 25th,
18S3, at 7:30 o'clock p. m. All anti
monopoly persons invited to attend.
J. S. Freeman, Chairman.
C. A. Newmas, Sec'y.
The Last Spark from Creates.
It is reported that the scholars had
a good time at Miss Josie -Senecal's
school pic-nic Saturday.
A happy young couple of Creston
visited Columbus recently, and it was
suggested that your correspondent
would call this their sugar-moon, as
the "honey-moon" has not yet arisen.
The item, "The man who was so
badly hurt at Creston on the Fourth
is now as well as ever," contained in
your late issue is a mistake. For very
recently, in a letter to parties here, he
declared his intention of mowing if
he were able to drive a feam. Thirty
dollars were subscribed to defray ex
penses incurred during his illness.
Seventy-five persons (scholars in
cluded) attended the closing exercises
of East Creston school yesterday.
Among the visitors were C. J. Gar
low of Columbus, John Scudder, jr.,
E. A. Fulford, G. W. Kibbler, N.
Olson, Mrs. Rev. J. Scudder, Mrs.
Carlton, etc., etc. Ida Scudder of the
A spelling class, was awarded the
prize, "Moore's Poetical Works," and
Carrie Olson received "The Favorite
Scholar," the premium offered the B
class. Remarks were made by Messrs.
Scudder, Olson and Fulford. The
report shows an average attendance
of 23 scholars throughout the term.
An other little item that occupies a
conspicuous pi ace. in the Journal of
this week, and one likely to attract a
Crestonian's attention, is "A friend in
Creston says all that's necessary there
is to be a member of the Alliance.
The services of ministers even, have
been dispensed with." Who the friend
is, and what motive he bad in saying
this, I will not attempt to say, for I
cannot comprehend, but it seems to
me that the people of Creston have as
good a right to their political views
as those of other localities. And if
they see fit to uphold the Alliance's
doctrine, it is their concern ; but as to
the necessity of being a "member,"'
there certainly is none. And "The
services of ministers even, have been
dispensed with." Preposterous! If
the "friend"" had ever taken the pains
to assemble with others of a large con
gregation at our pretty little church
on a Sunday afternoon, or had he vis
ited East Creston school house on a
Sabbath morn, he certainly would not
have madethat remark.
Yousg Reporter.
Mortal man, at his best estate, is
so far from being perfect that he need
consider himself under no particular
obligations to demonstrate his little
ness by leseening his power of self
control by any contrivance which
lessens his manhood. The following
instance clipped from the Sidney
Plaindealer, is but one of very many
showing how much of a fool a man
can sometimes make himself, with
out the least shadow of excuse:
"Louis Baumsburger, an old man who
has been in John Carly's employ, was
run over by a tiain Saturday night,
and had a foot cut off below the knee.
Baumsburger came to town Saturday
morning from Carly's ranch, and was
paid $50 by Mr. Cariy. With this
money he proceeded to fill np and
some time during the night got onto
the railroad track and went to sleep.
He was removed to the post hospital,
where he now lies with a good pros-
1 pect of recovery.
Politics.
Granville Precinct, Aug. 8.
Editor Joursal: I would like a
small space in your paper to say a
few words on politics ; I want to say
something about it because I see that
there is going to be a convention ot
the farmers' alliance soon. Now 1 am
not much of a hand to take a very
big part in politics, although I am
not very proud to say it, for every
man ought to take the same interest
in them, just as he does in his busi
ness, and then there would not be so
many mistakes made in patting bad
men and corrupt men into office, and
I wish you would say-something in
your paper about it being everybody's
duty to look into politics more. I
want you to say it because most ev
erybody in the county reads your
paper, and people will give more
attention to what a well-posted editor
will say than they will to anything
that I or any other correspondent
might say.
Now, I don't think this farmers' al
liance is a very good thing, that is aa
an independent political party. Of
course it is all right for us to join
together to protect ourselves against
anything that we can make right by
joining together.
But I think there are a good many
reasons why we can't do any good, in
Platte county, by going into a farm
ers' alliance political party.
One reason is that most of the alli
ance men come from the republican
party; as I understand it there are
very few democrats that ever leave
their party for anything, at least it is
said by people who are posted that
they always vote with their party, and
if they do join the alliance it is only
for a trick or dodge to get the repub
licans to go into the alliance and
make the republican party weak at
election time. Didn't it look like that
last fall when most of the democrat
alliance men voted the democratic
ticket? Now, isn't that true?
Of course there were some alliance
democrats who bad joined the alli
ance party, that the democratic lead
ers could not force into such an act of
treachery, and that voted the alliance
ticket; but last fall's election figures
show that there were not very many
of them.
And another thing ; there are about
eleven hundred democratic voters in
Platte county to about seven or eight
huudred republican voters, and if the
alliance gets the most of its members
from the republican party, what good
does it do ns to leave the republican
party? We should be breaking up
the republican party without making
a new party that can ever elect a sin
gle man. Now, isn't that true?
But what good would it do, even if
the alliance should take in the whole
republican party of Platte county, if
there are any tricksters in it, it would
not make them any better to change
from republicau to alliance. It's no
use talking; to change the name won't
do any good,
'A rose by any other name,
Smells just the same."
Now, Mr. Turner, I am a republi
can and have been ever since I com
menced to vote, and I don't believe
that I or anybody else is going to
gaiu anything by breaking up or leav
ing that party. All we've got to do
is to see that the republicans put up
good men for office, and this fall when
the primaries are called I am going to
spend two or three days, if necessary,
to go around and get every republi
can in my precinct to turn out, and at
the meeting we can talk matters over,
and send men to the county conven
tion that know what we want and
what we need, because I know that
at the primaries is where the trick
sters can do the most mean work.
Don't you think so?
I believe if the republicans will all
turn out at the primaries and send
their best and smartest men to the
county convention, that nobody can
or will say that the republican party
is corrupt.
I wish you would print a little slip
and send one to every republican in
the county, urging them to be sure to
go out to the primary, aud they won't
have any reason to complain of what
the republican party can do by way
of giving good officers and a good
government. Don't yoa think so?
What would the alliance men of
Platte county and Nebraska think if
by their votes in next year's election
they allowed the democrats to elect
their president. I don't believe it is
a good way to remedy the evils of the
republican party by putting the dem
ocrats, with the solid south into pow
er. Of course bad men sometimes
nominate themselves in the republican
party, and there is no party, no organ
ization of men, for any purpose, and
no individual (.for that matter) that
don't make mistakes, and when any
thing of that kind happens, I say elect
the democrat, for an honest democrat
is always better than a dishonest re
publican, or in such cases let a good
independent candidate run.
I tell you, alliance men, there is far
more monopoly in the democrats than
there is in the republicans. I think
if every alliance man would take the
Chicago Inter-Ocean, a good anti
monopoly paper, that they would
soon see that by breaking up the re
publican party is not the way to
break up monopoly of any kind.
If you don't want to priut this let
tar you will please return it, as I have
inclosed a stamp for that purpose.

Last Saturday evening an unusual
accident occurred a few miles out of
the city and one which proved fatal
to a human life in its consequences.
A young man by the name of Francis
Gunkle was the unfortunate. He
started out early in the evening with
a mixed load of furniture, lumber,
&c, drawn by a spirited span of hor
ses that were by no means easy to
manage. Nothing definite could be
ascertained as to how the accident was
brought about, but between S and 9
o'clock in the evening Gunkle was
brought back and taken to Ipsen's
drug store where Dr. Gahan was
summoned and all that surgical and
medical skill could do was done for
his relief. His injuries were internal,
blood oozed from his nostrils and
mouth, and the mark indicated that a
wheel of the wagon had passed over
his chest. Eye witnesses turned away
sickened at the sight and the groans
of the suffering man indicated that his
agonies were unbearable. He died at
half past one Sunday morning.

. Elsewhere we print the proceed
ings of the anti-monopoly meeting
Saturday night, at which a league was
organized for this city. We supposed
the meeting was especially designed
for those who desired to join the
league, but it would seem, judging
from the proceedings, that a very con
siderable portion of the time wa3
spent by democrats and republicans,
in a friendly way, endeavoring to
convince their fellow-citizens inclined
towards a new organization, that the
political Jerusalem was already in
existence in the form of the present
parties ; in other words, the meeting
of Saturday evening, while it had a
business ending, was maiuly a trian
gular political love-feast. Those in
terested in Platte county politics will
keep well posted on the progress of
this movement.
