favorable opinion of Nebraska.
The sincerity of the democratic
nominee for county treasurer in his
speech on receiving the nomination
wili hardly be questioned. He said :
"Gentlemen, I thank you for the nom
ination, and will do all I can to be
elected, aud hope I shall succeed."
Mr. Johnson of Baltimore, Md.,

Private letters to friends in this

a resident of Columbus, and a much
esteemed young man, who had scarce

F. M. Cookingham is our author
ized agent at Humphrey for soliciting

work. Business entrusted to him will

him your home work and your home
news, use him well, and he will grow
apace. tf M. K. Turner & Co.
Seward's police judge was recent
cently found in a state of beastly
intoxication aud after spending a
night In the cooler was taken before
a justice of the city and fined $10.00
an costs. He can now pass sentence
upon plain drunks in the light of ex
perience, but whether it will be to the
advantage of the mal factor or not,
who can sav?
Horse thieving is getting to be
of very frequent occurrence in north
Nebraska, and some neck-tie parties
may be expected soon if it does not
cease. The people are becoming
greatly incensed, and will not stand
much more foolishness, and when
they orgauize for their own protec
tion, it is liable to be very unpleasant
for horse thieves.
Next Saturday, Oct. 6tb, will be
the anniversary of the first settlement
by German citizens in the United
States two hundred years ago. The
day will be generally celebrated
throughout the country. In this city
preparations are being made for an
appropriate observance of tho day.
The decoration of business streets
with flags, etc., will be a prominent
feature.
Gus. G. Becher wants it under
stood that while he is a candidate for
the nomination of county treasurer
on the republican ticket he has his
weather eye open to business, and
will write you an insurance policy
on the best companies in the world,
or make you a loan on the best terms
to be had, and at the same time will
pleasantly talk over the political sit
uation if you wish it. It
John T. Mallalieu, formerly a
citizen. of this county, now of Kear
ney, was in the city Saturday. He
received the nomination for regent of
the university at the recent republi
can state convention. Mr. Mallalieu
is a clever and very competent-man
for that position, having spent the
greater portion of his life in educa
tional pursuits. We wish him all
possible success in the campaign.
The property on 11th street, well
known as the John Wiggins corner,
lately owned and occupied by John
W. Davis, has Been purchased by the
First National Bank. We are in
formed by Mr. Anderson, "the presi
dent, that a first-class building, not
less than two stories, will be erected
thereon in the near future. This will
be a valuable addition to business in
terests of the street and city.
The ball game last Wednesday
between the lawyers and doctors w9
broken up at tho fifth innings by dis
agreement upon divers matters. We
believe the umpire got away without
being mobbed. When two disturb
ing elements like that meet, look out
for trouble. We can't help but think
the man a little rash to put it mildly
who accepts the position of umpire
in a game of ball between them.
At the republican caucuses on
Saturday last the following nomina
tions were made for town officers :
MONROE PRECINCT.
For supervisor, Robert E Wiley ;
for town clerk, Geo. S Truman; for
town tieasnrer, John E. Dack.
WOODVIM.E PRECINCT.
For supervisor, William J Irwin;
for town clerk, David L. Conard ; for
town treasurer, William Wright.
It is at scried on ooil authority
that the editor of the Columbus Jour
nal will support tho straight repub
lican nominees this year. How is
it, M. K.?ltuone Co. Argus.
Iu the absence of "M. K." the writer
will take the responsibility of saying
that the editor of the Journal is a
republican always has been a repub
lican, aud in the future as iu the past
can consistently be expected on the
side of "straight" republicanism. Can
a friend be found who will make that
unqualified assertion on behalf of our
inquiring journalistic friend of the
Argus?
Dr. J. Laramer, of Toledo, Ohio,
brother-in-law to Mrs. J. H. Rued,
living a short distance from the city,
arrived at Mr. Reed's on last Wednes
day, and in the evening retired to
rest, and next morning was found
dead in his bed. Dr. Laramer was
about 5S years old and in apparent
good health. The belief was that he
died from apoplexy. His funoral
took place from the residence of Mr.
Reed at 3 o'clock Sunday, and his re
mains were buried at the Columbus
cemetery. His wife, two 6ons and a
daughter arrived here in time to at
tend his funeral.
The sign in the local political
horoscope would seem to predict that
the republican ticket which will be
put in nomination by tho republican
convention next Saturday will be one
that will be a credit to the party and
also one that good men without re
gard to party can give their conscien
tious support. For the office of coun
ty clerk wo have the uame of Henry
Ragatz announced iu the Journal
this week as a candidate who will
probably not have a competitor in tho
convention, and for treasurer Gus. G.
Becher, the Journal is authorized to
say, will ask for the vote of the con
vention. Both of these gentlemen are
staunch republicans, and will un
doubtedly, if nominated, poll a strong
vote in the county. Further than this
with regard to the possible candidates
for the different offices the Jourxal
has not been postr d.
The Platte county democracy met
in convention Saturday last at the
Court House aud nominated a ticket
for the county offices. Tho nomina
tions for county judge, sheriff and
clerk were remarkably unanimous,
indicating that the machine was well
oiled and the pius systematically ad
justed. These nominations were all
made by acclamatiou. On treasurer
tho balloting was very close, C. A.
Newman taking the lead, followed by
J. B. Delsman as a very close second.
Mr. Newman was nominated on the
first formal ballot, but one more vote
than constituted the conveution ap
pearing in tho count, a second ballot
was ordered with a like result. The
third ballot gave Mr. Newman the
nomination by a bare majority. Fol
lowing is the ticket: County judge,
J. J. Sullivan ; sheriff, D. C. Kavan
augh ; clerk, John Stauffcr ; treasurer,
C. A. Newman ; clerk district court,
G. Heitkemper; coroner, A. Heintz;
surveyor, J. J. Maughan ; supt. of
schools, Thomas Hall ; commissioner
3d district, Martin Maher; commis
sioner 1st district, Jacob Ernst.
By resolution the convention en
dorsed the platform of the state
democratic convention. We give in
full the following resolution, which
seems to have some local significance :
JResolved, That we will permit no
body of men, by whatever party name
they may be known, to forestall our ac
tion by invading our party ranks to se
lect their candidates, and we regard
with suspicion the politics of so-called
democrats who accept prior nomina
tions, either openly or otherwise,
from onr opponents, and from all
such candidates we strenuously with
hold our support."

The Anglo-American Circns.
The circus season is at hand and the
quest ion most natural to arise is : "are
we going to be humbugged again this
season?" The public of this locality
has been so often deceived of late that
this journal feel- it almost a solemn
duty to proclaim the cuiniug of the
first genuine, meritorious circus and
menagerie that has visited us in a
year. As the date of the Anglo
American 4 Combined Rail Road
Shows has already 'beeu fixed for Co
lumbus, Wednesday, Oct. 10th, it will
be in place to quote the opinion of
that'excellent journal the Green Bay
Morning Advocate of August 23d
last:
"The Anglo-American Circus ex
hibited in Green Bay on Tuesday
afternoon and evening, the large tents
being packed full on both occasions,
which shows that this city may still
hold its reputation as a 'big circus
town.' Although the circus had pass
ed through 30 storms this season,
which take off a good deal of the
glitter, it street parade was good.
The show under the canvas was ex
cellent in every pariicurf, fully up to
the highest standard. Then wa not
an interior act performed We saw
none of tho rowdyism ami thievery
against which we hid been warned
and the show here leaven none but
kindly remembrances in it wake."
Such unmistakable e idcuee of
hearty approval Ie-ive no opp rfuni
ty for additional praise, ami fully
explains the cusc of tiij universal
praise that thi institution h enjoying
everywhere. It will hive a tent
stretched canvas at Columbus Wed
nesday, Oct. 10. It will ci-! no more
to go to the big Hail l')ad Sviw, than
it would to a cross-road waon show,
worn out iu service over bid roads
aud long drives, aud of small dimen
sions. Wait for the Big show and sec a
good one. 300 men and horses, 20
cages of living, choice animals, 22
loaded cars. All that is advertised is
shown up. Count our cages; count
our horses ; see list of animals. 1

The sale of F. W. Tate drew out a
large crowd Saturday. Cattle brought
a good price; the aggregate of the
sale was over two thousand three
hundred dollars.
Mr. John Wagoner, having sold his
farm will give up farming, and having
bought three lots of Mr. Ottis will
proceed to build upon them imme
diately. Mr. Wagonor is a live busi
ness man aud we. hope he will soon
go iu business here.
Oh! oh! limburger cheese! Jacob
Stcflis is the victim of much anoyance
over the precious stufl. He got a
large box of the article and it was at
tho depot a day or tn'o, and the rail
road ageut came up and engaged
rooms of Steffis, who wanted to know
why he leit the depot, and he told him
his limburger cheese drove him out
doors and he couldn't get back. So
Jacob took his team and went after it.
Either the cheese or Jake must have
been stubborn, or they would not
need the team, for the cheese certain
ly was strong enough to walk that
short distance. C.
