The Lincoln Journal refers to section 7, chapter 26 of the compiled statutes as authority for saying that in counties where the proposition for township organization carries this fall the following county officers will have to be re-elected in the fall of '84: County judge, sheriff, coroner, treas urer, clerk, surveyor and superintend ent of instruction. A business meeting to organize the Merry Makers Club was held at the Clother House. The following officers were elected : J. M. Macfar land. Prest., David Dowty, Treas., Theodore Wandel, Sec'y. The first dance will be held at Maennerchor Hall, Tuesday, Nov. 20, '83. Oyster suppers and masquerades will vary the monotony of the club dances this season. A farmer near Peru claims to have made a discovery that by feed ing a cow on hops, malt and corn she will produce the best quality of lager beer. The machine poet of the Fre mont Herald, growing enthusiastic over the prospect, breaks forth into song: 'If I had a cow that give such milk. I'd dress her in the "finest silk; I'd teed her on the best of hay, And milk her forty times a day." A good policeman is as good a soldier as ever drew a musket or stood on guard, and it requires just the small qualities to guard the city in the darkness of the night, and often in daylight, as on the battle field, At Blair, on the 5th, Jay Bacher, a hard character, who had been boisterously drank and abused his wife, resisted arrest and, while making a move to draw his revolver, was shot down by chief of police, TV. F. Brook. Platte county democrats were so anxious about electing Judge Higgins treasurer, they forgot to print "Wil liams's name on their ticket The Butler Co. Press, from which the above is taken, must be better informed in Platte county politics than some of our own old campaign ers. We had thought that a man by the name of Newman was running for treasurer in Platte county, but perhapB we were mistaken. "We refer the matter to brother Xeiflig of the Norfolk Journal. The Cass County Eagle gives the particulars of a farmer who, getting drunk, fell backwards off a load of lumber, injuring himself so badly that he died the next day. He leaves a wife and six children, in the most abject circumstances. An attorney of PlattEmouth is endeavoring to effect a settlement with the saloon keeper who sold the liquor, the law holding him responsible for all damage re- ! suiting from the sale. This is the j reason saloon keepers are required to ' give such heavy bonds. The Kendalls were greeted Mon day evening by a full house, but the audience were disappointed by a change from the announced pro gramme. The play, Theodora, it is safe to say, is not the kind suited to Columbus audiences, who love amuse ment mainly, with a sprinkle of more solid sentiment occasionally. How- ' ever, Mrs. Kendall, as always, showed ! fine appreciation of the chief charac- ter, and portrayed to perfection the ' conflicting emotions of love, revenge and remorse. "We are not informed as to the number of entertainments to be given, but it is safe to say that we shall see Kendall in his glory and also Sambrook, as well as Mrs. Kendall, all of whom sre long-time favorites of Columbus audiences. It may be well enough to remark, now that the campaign is over, that there were some peculiarities of the canvass for Williams that ought not go without mention. We are credi bly informed that Williams always was a prohibitionist by voice and vote up to the present campaign, when, (if our informant is not mistaken) he has been in the habit of drinking "with the boys." Alio that a Methodist preacher from Butler county acted as an electioneer for Williams, alleging that Judge Post was an intemperate Man, a drunkard, and tried to have the Methodist minister here aud else where use their influence against Post, on that ground. Also, that in Dodge county, on the very ere of the alecUpa, a German .dodger was dis tributed alleging that Post was a faaatical temperance man. We would Mggest that the stories be placed a little cleeer together the aexttine. OFFICIAL or the Election. BetuinB for vember CANDIDATES. Judge Supreme Court, M-B. Reese, r James W.

The following figures are as near the official canvass as we have been able to get. There is no doubt of Judge A. M. Post'3 election'by a neat majority : Platte 1066 Colfax 517 Dodge Merrick 49 Nance (estimated) 300 Saunders ' 300 Butler (for Williams) 402 The above are majorities in the sev eral counties, and show a balance of 1924 in Judge Post's favor. His vote at home, in Platte county, is certainly a handsome tribute by his neighbors to his well-known ability as a judge. The Democrat is excessively smart in saying that "after the com missioners had ordered separate tickets printed for the county, for township organization, it was a gross blunder on the part of somebody, to have the same printed on the regular republican tickets." So far as we can ascertain there was no more law requiring the commissioners to print those tickets and pay for them than there was to print the party tickets forjudge, treasurer, etc., and pay for them. Neither was there any provis ion of law, that we know of, requiring a separate ballot. The proposition needed a majority of all the voters at the election, voting in the affirma tive, in order to become law. All that was necessary, therefore, for a man with a republican ticket in his hand, was to vote it, if he wished the proposition to carry, or to scratch "For township organization if he wished to oppose it The democratic managers need not take any particu- lar pains to account for the fact that the proposition was not on their ticket in any shape, the people are able, without their aid, to draw the inevitable conclusion.

Joubxal: I noticed in last week's Democrat that if I would look into the law as I had into the fuel affairs of Platte county, I would see what authority the county judge had in having his office up town, and not at the court house. Now I had looked into that part of the law, and besides I was acquainted , with some facts. But I failed to find the law in full where the countv should furnish fuel for the sheriff for four stoves, one in his office, one in jail, and one in his parlor in his resi dence, burning hard coal 16S hours every week, and one in his cooking stove in his residence or boarding house, and besides the county paying his rent for residence. Now, as lam not a professional in law, but knowing that the editors of the Democrat are, I should like a little more law on the above facts. Jobs Taxxahili..

Bee (halt are. This is an enterprise in which some of the citizens of Columbus are taking quite an interest. Among such we may name Messrs. Speice, Reimer, Routson and Mrs. J. N. Heater. Mr. Speice, it appears, is the best fixed for handling the bees and honey. The strain of bees being handled by these parties is, as a role, Italian. It is re markable the amount of honey there is in this vicinity. It is singular that while the bee-keepers of the eastern part of the state are trying -to intro duce the Bocky Mountain bee plant into their fields and pastures, here I find it growing on the vacant lots about the city. Then here is growing the golden rod in abundance, the asters of many varieties, which make fall flowers bearing nectar in abund ance. In another year the citizens of Columbus may expect that the parties I bave mentioned, can supply them with all the honey they can use, gath ered by the little workers from the fields and gardens about their homes. J. O. S. KaiMiac Colts. No one will doubt that it is a pleas ant thing to see nice young stock of any kind grow up on the farm. It is especial!' so in regard to colts. If they are a little mischievous they gen- erally are playful and affectionate and j therefore mostly great pets with the J family- Besides, when they grow up and make fine horses it is with special pride that one saye : "We have rais ed that one ourselves " Moreover, such an animal may save the buying of one, or may, if sold, bring a nice i little sum, and thus if kept or sold is i thfi other gide of the tioiu The Journal is not a one-sided sheet, but is printed on both sides, and it has, ever since the writer, who is an old reader of it, always tried to look at matters from all sides, and thus pre- , sent them to its manv reader; fairlv j and qoarelv. So wit'n tbis colt que:. tion. Let the Journal tell "Tom, Dick and Harry" and all the rest of them something of the other side. To begin with, not all mares are good breeding mares. Some will not breed at all, and many are poor breeders, or poor nurses, or heartless mothers. Not so with cows. They mostly all breed; ewes will bring from one to three lambs, and sows may bring even a baker's dozen the writer owns some that brought thirteen at a time each. But many mare may be bred land not a single colt obtained. And if one is gotten it is very questionable ' whether it can be raised. How many idie the verv first few davs of their lives? How many are accidentally hurt, maimed or even killed! So after all the trouble in breeding the mare, after all the care during preg nancy, after all the coaching when 6he comes in, after all the loss of time and work you have nothing! But supposing you get a colt and raise it? a calf you may sell when a few days old and hive the milk of the cow. good hogs may make from 100 to 400 lbs. of pork at six or ten months old, but with the colt you will have to wait about four or five years from breeding time till you can hitch up or sell it. Meanwhile, it may have cost all it is worth or even a great deal more. For these reasons, Mr. Editor, to which many more might be added, your writer does not consider it prof itable and therefore not advisable for the average farmer to raise colts, and even if there is one here and there who has got good success, or eood luck in that line, they are surely only exceptions to the general rule A.

Ocean for More new features have been intro duced in the Weekly Inter Ocean in the last twelve months than in any other paper published in this country. Betaining all the old specialties and departments, the publishers have ad ded illustrated biographical sketches of persons prominently before the i public at date of publication; illus trated articles on important historical and current events, or in elucidation of antiquarian research, or interesting engineering and mechanical problems ; cable letters from London covering the field of European news for each week; special contributions devoted to reminiscences of army and polit ical life ; and new series of articles given up largely to personal gossip and recollections of prominent lit erary people. The Inter Ocean will remain un compromisingly Republican ; will maintain its present attitude on the question of protecting American in dustries; will continue to devote spe cial attention to trade, transportation, and economic questions, will retain the departments of The Curiosity Shop (a current encyclopedia of cu rious, interesting, and valuable in for-' mation called out by inquiries of subscribers) ; The Woman's Kingdom (devoted to the progressive move ments in which women are interest ed) ; The Farm and Home (covering topics of special interest to farmers, their wives, and their children) ; The Veterinary (containing answers to questions as to the treatment of horses, cattle, and other animals by one of the best veterinary 6urgeons in the West) ; and Complications (taking in puzzles, enigmas, conundrums, etc.), all of which are peculiar to the paper ; will give as much space as hitherto to serial and short stories, original and selected sketches and poems, and with increased facilities for news gathering in the shape of special icires to New York and Washington, and experienced correspondents well placed at home and abroad, will more than maintain its high standard for enterprise and accuracy in all depart ments of news. While so many improvements have been made in the Weekly Inter Ocean, the price has been reduced to Onk Dollar Pee Year, postage included. This puts a large eight-page (there are frequently twelve pages) paper in the hands of the reader at the low rate of two cents per week. The re duction in price and the recent im provements make the Inter Ocean not only the best family newspaper in the country, but the cheapest. The sub scription price of the Inter Ocean is as follows : Weekly Edition per year, post age paid $ 1.00 Semi-Weekly Edition per year, postage paid 2.50 Dailv (including Sunday) per year 12.00 Dailv (excluding Sunday) per year ' 10.00 Wednesday's Edition (with Mu sical Supplement) per year . . 2.00 Saturday's Edition (sixteen pa ges) per year 2.00 Sunday's Edition (sixteen pa ges) per year 2.00 Postage prepaid in each case.
