Rev. John Gray has accepted a
call to preach to congregations at
Ainsworth and Valentine, and will
leave for his new field about the 15th
of November. Mr. Gray is a man of
keen, bright intellect, and therefore
an excellent sermonizer as well as
lecturer. He has, besideB, the ability
to get along with the world's people
a good deal better than the general
average of ministers, and thus his
labors are valuable to a community.
A writer in the Lincoln Journal
objects to .township organization for
Lancaster county because, first, of its
expenBiveness, second, its "corapli
cateness," and estimates that it would
cost the people of that county $7,000
to $10,000 more than the present sys
tem. He suggests that if, to the pres
ent machinery, there was added a
board of auditors, three in number,
invested with supervisory powers, it
would be an improvement on what
we have, and far less cumbersome
than the proposed township organi
zation. The social evil is a subject that
our citizens must, Boon or later, con
sider seriously. The Journal has
called attention time and again to the
fact that the evil is a very serious one
in this community and likely to prove
more so, including in its meshes the
very youthful, also married men and
single men. Under our laws a bawdy
house is a nuisance, and under a re
cent decision of the supreme court of
the state, any individual feeling per
sonal interest sufficient would have
little trouble in invoking the aid of
law to rid themselves of the very
meanest of nuisances. The court say :
"Nuisance House of ill fame Ev
idence To authorize a conviction
under section 210, of the criminal
code, for permitting a house to be
used as one of ill fame, or for purpo
ses ot prostitution, it must be shown,
That the house was of ill fame in fact,
or in other words a house resorted to
for purposes of prostitution. That
the prisoner was the owner, or had
control of the house; and that be
knowingly permitted it to be occu
pied as a house of ill fame.
2. The bawdy character of
the bouse may be shown by its gen
eral reputation and that of the per
sons frequenting it, together with
other facts and circumstances which
lead satisfactorily to that conclusion.
It is not necessary to show particular
acts of prostitution."

GDS. O. BECHEB,
The candidate for county treasurer,
was born at Pilsen, Austria, in 1845.
In 1848, his father emigrated to St.
Louis, Mo., at which place, in the
Christian Brothers Academy, Gub.
received a considerable portion of his
education. In 1857, Mr. Becher'a
father removed to this city, Gus. fol
lowing in 1859, in the meantime going
to school. For eight years thereafter
he was a clerk in the hardware store
of Hurford & Bro. at Omaha, where
he made many friends. After that he
came to Columbus, and for the suc
ceeding four years was engaged in
the United States service, under Ma
jor Frank North, with the Pawnee
Scouts. In '71 he served as .enrolling
clerk in the state senate. After bis
return he started in his present busi
ness, in which he takes great pride,
and in which he has been very suc
cessful, enjoying the confidence, and
winning the good will of every man
with whom he. does business. The
county's money and the count) treas
urer's duties will be safe in his hands.
HENRY BAGATZ,
The nominee for county clerk, was
born in Sauc county, Wisconsin, in
the year 1854. His father was. one of
the early pioneers of that then fron
tier state, emigrating from Switzer
land in 1838, and settling in Prairie
Du Sac, Sauc Co., Wisconsin, the
same year. His mother was a native
of Germany, so he is a full-booded
descendant of that sturdy, independ
ent, frugal, persevering stock, that
cross from the lands of William Tell
and "Old Fritz" that underlies one of
the best strata of our American citi
zenship. Henry was born and raised
on a farm, doing the manual labor
expected of boys of his age in that
position, and receiving the advanta
ges of a common school education
during the winter months, ending
with three terms at the high school in
the city of Prairie Du Sac ; thence he
served a five year's clerkship in a
general store in bis native town, re
moving to this city in the early spring
of 1379, where he started in the gen
eral grocery trade, in which he has
met with the invariable success that
honesty, prudence, economy and in
defatigable energy insure. Last
spring, unsolicited and unexpected by
him, his friends nominated him for
councilman of the second ward of
this city. His opponent was one of
the most prominent democrats in the
city, but Mr. Ragatz was elected by a
handsome majority in the old demo
cratic ward. To those who know
Henry Ragatz no word of commenda
tion is needed, and his friends predict
his election to the office of county
clerk as a certainty.
AUGUSTUS W. CLAItK,
The republican candidate for clerk
of the district court, was born in
Ashtabula Co., Ohio, June 11, 1839.
In 1848 his family removed to La
Salle Co., 111., where his early youth
and manhood years were passed. In
1879 he removed to this county, hav
ing previously purchased the farm
formerly owned by W. H. Gibson
northeaBt of the city.
Mr. Clark is one .of those quiet, un
assuming, careful gentlemen who
seldom make mistakes and who never
blunder, just the qualities needed in
the discharge of the dnties of clerk.
Wise to apprehend the law and the
instructions of the court, he has none
of that peculiar smartness, character
istic of so many clerks, which leads
them to assume the judicial func
tions, at odd times and stages of legal
proceedings. He will make an ex
cellent clerk.
GEORGE W. CLARK,
The gentleman whom the republicans
of Platto county haee named for the
offico of sheriff, was born in Colum
biana Co., Ohio, March 11, 1849. In
'51 his parents moved to Wisconsin.
Young Clark was brought up on a
farm, with the usual good fortune of
farmer lads in having plenty of work
during all the year, with an opportu
nity in the winter months of attend
ing the district public school, of which
he made Bach good use that early in
life he was qualified to teach, which
he did several years, before and since
he removed to Nebraska.
Ten years ago Mr. Clark came to
Nebraska, locating on government
land in the northern part of Platto
county, then known as Stearns Prai
rie, and engaged in tilling the soil in
summer and teaching Bchool in win
ter. Since 1877 he has been engaged in
the insurance business, and in March
of this year opened an insurance and
real estate office at Humphrey, a very
thrifty business-center of Platte Co.,
where he is pursuing the even tenor
of his way.
Mr. Clark, it is scarcely worth
while for us to add, is an honest,
capable man, of excellent personal
habits, and he will make as good a
sheriff as Platte county ever bad
accommodating, obliging, gentleman
ly, upright, doing his duty in every
particular, and under all circumstan
ces, bravely yet kindly. The men
who vote for him can feel an assur
ance that in the discharge of the du
ties of the repponsible office of sheriff,
he will honor himself and justly rep
resent the interests of the public.
"WALTER S. WELLS,
candidate for county judge, was born
at Johnstown, N. Y., in 1857. He
comes of good parentage, his father,
John Wells, having served several
terms as judge of Fulton county, N.
Y., and one as a member of the
national congress. Young Wells at
tended the public schools of bis native
town and afterwards Union Univer
sity, at Schenectady, graduating in
June, 1878. Two years afterwards he
graduated from the Albany Law
School. In 1880 .he removed to
Wheeler county, this state, and in
September, 1882, to Platte county,
where he now resides and practices
law, being a member of the firm of
Walker & Wells. The people of the
county who do not know Mr. Wells,
will have an opportunity during the
campaign of making his acquaintance.
In the conduct of his office he would
pride himself in doing his whole duty
by the interests that would come
under his charge.
JOSEPH RIVET,
Republican nominee for county com
missioner, is one of nature's noble
men, an honest man. The voters of
the county who have had business
before the Commissioners' Court, have
found in him a man attentive to busi
ness and anxiously desiring to under
stand and do his whole duty, in the
interests of the public whom he serves.
JOHN TANNAHILL,
Republican candidate for county com
missioner, was born at Huntingdon,
Canada, March 12, 1846, and is there-.
fore in the 38th year of his age. In
1856, his father removed to Chicka
saw county, Iowa. John was the
oldest child of the family, and when
his father enlisted in the service of
the United States in 1861 (in the 7th
Iowa) John had a good deal to look
after, for a boy of sixteen ; still more,
when his father, after having honora
bly served bis country, in the vicissi
tude of battle was taken prisoner at
Belmont, and died at Annapolis just
after being oxebanged.
Like all other patriotic young men
of the time, however, the incidents of
the war, the cause of the Union, and
the necessity of the preservation of
the government were so engrossing
that the beginning of the year 1865
found young Tannahill, at the age of
20, enlisted in the 156th Illinois regi
ment, and campaigning in Georgia in
Gen. A. J. Smith's division. Of
course his service was brief, because
the war soon ended. Iu the seven
months of his companionship with the
boys in blue he was thoroughly im
bued with the military spirit, and if
called into duty to-day would make a
model citizen-soldier.
While in Iowa Mr. Tannahill was
elected road supervisor in a very
thickly-settled district, giving excel
lent satisfaction. In 1869 he removed
to Nebraska, taking a homestead in
Butler county, and "Operating as a
farmer and a grower of and dealer in
garden seeds, in which he has gained
an enviable reputation, all through
Nebraska. While living in Butler
county Mr. T. served six years as
school director and two terms as Jus
tice of the peace, showing the quali
ties that always characterize him,
wherever he is placed nffability, aud
a strict regard for justice and right.
We dou't know of a single enemy
that Mr. Tannahill has in all the wide
world, and his friends will take pleas
ure in voting for him, becauso thoy
can do so without misgivings of any
sort.
J. E. MONCRIEF,
the candidate for county superintend
ent of schools, is known to every
bright school lad and lassie in the
county. His record as the official
head of the public school system of
the county is well known to intelli
gent parentB and school officers who
take any interest in public instruction,
and it is safe to say that these, by their
votes, will place the seal of their ap
proval upon his actions. lie makes a
very careful superintendent, and is
economical in the expenditure of the
county's uionoy.
JOHN G. ROUTSON,
named by his political friends as can
didate for surveyor, is thoroughly
well qualified for the place in every
respect, not only as a capable account
ant but as being acquainted with the
lands of the county. Besides which,
his work will he done, as it always
has been doue, without reference to
how it will affect one man or another,
but exactly as it ought to be, squaring
with the law and each man's right.
This is John's uniform way of doing
things, and a man might as well try
to have him say that two and two
make five, or that a straight lino is
not the shortest distance between two
points, an to change his conduct of a
public office.
CARROLL D. EVANS,
named for coroner, was boru in 1856
at Tarentum, Penn., a town near
Pittsburg. He received his mental
training at the Tarentum Academy,
the Pennsylvania Porter College and
the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, Baltimore, Md., where he grad
uated. Iu the latter city he served
in the Baltimore City Hospital for
eighteen months, where he acquired
practical knowledge in surgery which
has been of good use to him iu his
practice. For several years he en
gaged in the work of his profession at
Bradford, Penn., after which he came
to Nebraska, settling in this city in
May 18S2, since which time many of
our readers have beou acquainted
with the doctor and his work.
He has shown himself versed in
professional knowledge, with nerve
enough for any emergency required,
and would make a good sheriff in any
contingency that would require him
to serve.

I see by the bills allowed by the
county commissioners that it costs the
county fifteen dollars for a pauper to
stay a part of day and one night at
the Humphrey House, it being a
small building where he was kept,
used also for a meat market part of
the time. The pauper undoubtedly
was sick, but as only three dollars of
the amount was for the doctor and
two, ( which I belicye were just
claims) for attending the same aud
also a collection was raised to bear
bis expense to which the writer con
tributed, in the face of these facts we
would like to know from those con
cerned why the tax-payers should
pa this landlord ten dollars? We
would add the landlord did not take
him into the house. If this is a just
claim, properly allowed, then it cer
tainly is very expensive traveling as
a pauper, and the county should hire
a vigilant committee to keep these
extravagant persons in other counties.

Editor Journal : We had our first
killing frost Saturday night; up to
that time, tomatoes and peppers were
perfectly green.
A creamery project is being agita
ted here, but a large bonus is asked
by the party wishing to start it. A
query in our mind is, why should
farmers give to start one when it is
one continual giving (in dictation of
prices) after it is Btarted. Like all
our other business ventures, this, too,
in our humble opinion, ought to stand
on its own honest bottom.
Quite a number of old settlers are

Although wonderfully afflicted in body
for many years, the Judge's mind was
active and bright, and doubtless he was
in the front rank of the bar of tne State
as to legal ability and attainments. He
had been a resident of Columbus but a
few years, but in that time made many
friends who sincerely mourn his depart
ure from the scenes of earth. The funeral
took place Monday afternoon, and was
very largely attended. His widow and
children have the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire community in their hour of
sore affliction.
