The open weather of the season is rather unfavorable to the sale of merchandise, but is very acceptable to the farmer who has corn to hnsk, and to the poor who have fuel to purchase. From Mr. Staab, who was in town yesterday, we learn that Henry Miller met with quite a loss. One of his lines broke, his team ran away, got into Shell Creek, and were drowned.

If the county treasurer is to be elected again next year, and if the now tax-law is now in effect (as it does really seem to be) the new treas urer elect will not make much money this term. The average school boy of these days is like his predecessors in the distaste for history composed mainly of the account of battles, the number of the combatants, the dead and wounded.

The Congregational church will hold meetings every Sunday morning at the usual hour while tho pulpit is vacant. The subject before the meet ing next Sunday morning will be "Why do we wish to maintain a church?'' Meetings open to all. Parties in need of parlor or cham ber suits, patent rockers, libraries, secretaries or anything in the line of furniture, will find it to their advan tage to call and examine the fine stock which is carried by J. E. Munger. His stock is large and prices very reasonable. 1 This is a great town for practical jokes and sells. It was reported that Mrs. C. Segelke bad presented her liege with a- pair of twins, son and daughter, and Charles was compelled to treat (as is the custom), but the fact is that on Friday was born to Mrs. S. a daughter. Albion Ifeios: No coal, and cold weather soon here. The coal dealer says he ordered 400 tons last July, but only succeeded in getting 150 tons since that time. He has a standing order tor five cars per week, but from some reason he can't get it. This is a bad state of affairs. There were several runaways last Thursday evening. One of them was the 'bus team of the Pacific House, driven by Mr. Fox, who was thrown from the seat somewhat bruised. The other two runaways were by teams from the country, whose owner's names we did not learn. Heywood's Mastodons excel any thing that have appeared in Ottumwa for many months.

Beverly of Litchfield, 111., makes a 'proposition to our citizens to explore the bowels of the earth be neath us, for water, coal, oil or what ever of good may seem to be there, at $2,000 for 600 ft. in depth and $1 a ft. for an, additional 400 ft. What say our citizens and business men ? Mr. Arnold of Lookingglass pre cinct sold to D. Anderson on Monday 21 fat hogs weighing 9595 pounds or of abont 455 ponnds each. Mr. An derson says.that in regard to quality and weight combined they, were the best 21 hogs ever offered on the Co-. lumbuB market. Who can beat them ? The Bcarlet women are taking title to grounds in their own names, and decent, respectable citizens, with their families of growing sons and daughters, are compelled to be the near neighbors of these nests of sin and corruption. And this seems to be the settled policy of our city officials. We are told that diseased beeves have been sold in the city, and the disease is snch that the eating of the flesh would be very dangerous to men. Of course, if cases of the kind should continue to occur, it will be to the interest of all concerned to4have some sort of in epection system adopt ed here. Messrs. Pohl & Wermnth on 11th street, have a number of the finest cutters ever brought to the city light, neat and brilliantly painted, they are the handsomest we have seen in many a day. It is safe to say that when snow comes for sleighing these cutters will be on the road instead of in the wareroom. At Highland, Kan., a citizen offers to give $20,000 as often as the citizens and friends of Highland University will secure a like amount. The Hast ings Journal gives the above to show what one man can do sometimes, and urges the citizens of Hastings to come forward for a project to establish an Institution of learning at that place. Those who stand as guards to the public treasuries cannot be too care ful concerning matters which come under their charge. Taxes will al ways be high enough, If the public pays no moro for the work done for it or material furnished than is paid by individuals. Let the practice be changed awhile, and see how it will work. The Denyer Jtepublican gives a sensational account of the doings of John W. Davis and Mrs. Council, who recently went to Denver and fitted up rooms on Lawrence street. The par ties are very well known here, and it is not at all surprising that the woman has decamped from Davis with $900 of his money, about all that Davis had left, we suppose. "Wine and women." An old subscriber writes us that statements made in tho Jocbxai. from time to time as to prices of land and demands for the same prevented him from selling below the value of the land he owned in the county, and was of more service to him a hundred times than the price of the paper. And yet there are men who claim a good degree of intelligence who do not take a county paper. In every direction we notice men tions of land sales which show the estimation in which Nebraska invest ments are held. The Madison Chron icle adds this to the list: Eighteen, months ago the homestead owned by T. V. VoorheeB, was purchased by Mr. Potter for the sum of $1,300, and last week Mr. Potter sold it for $4,000. This farm is located a little over two miles north of Madison, on the Nor folk road ; and as very few improve ments were made on the place by Mr. Potter, it may be inferred that the value of the place has trippled In eighteen months. Tho flow of water in the first twelve miles of the Kearney canal has exterminated the last vestige of un belief that this project will not be one of the greatest undertakings in the state, and one making Kearney a manufacturing city. Some idea of the immenso power the canal will give can be seen when it is known that a fall of seventy feet is secured and water to fill the immense reser voirs flows into them from the Platte river at the rate of six miles an hour, through a canal twenty feet wide and four feet in depth. Not only will this amount of water propel all the ma chinery required by a large number of mills, but will give Kearney one of the best protections against fire. Kearney Era. That electricity alone is a specific cure for many of the diseases of man, and in nearly all cases a helpful aux iliary to medical treatment, when scientifically administered, is becom ing acknowledged by progressive physicians all over the world. A late publication by Dr. J. H. Woodward, of Seward, entitled "Electro Thera pentics" is a valuable addition to this class of medical works. Dr. Wood ward is professor of Meiteria Medica and Electro-Therapeutics in the med ical department of the State Univer sity, a long and successful practition er, and fully competent to handle the subject of which he treats. The work has been adopted a, a text book in the University, and has been endorsed by a large number of the medical Jour nals of the country. The book is beautifully printed, and bonnd in cloth and can be had for $2 by ad dressing Dr. J. H. Woodward, Sew ard, Nebraska. It will not be long until the gen eral out-door work will be finished. Every industrious tiller of the soil will now embrace the opportunity of in-door winter work, which appears to have no end. Books and catalogues to be examined ; seeds and fruits to be selected, from the best kinds and quality and best adopted to your locality, will require 6ome reading and study. Winter is the time to study everything connected with farm life and duties. Every improvement in fruit, stock, seeds, machinery, &c, can now be investigated and studied to advantage. To give additional in terest to these studies, it will be a good thing to obtain all the practical experience and knowledge of yonr friends and neighbors, and, to accom plish this we highly approve the rec ommendation of the American Agri culturist to form clnbs in every neigh borhood, holding meetings once a week, where the cultivators of the soil can discuss the variety of subjects in which they are interested, and thos bring out local experience which is often more valuable than a general reatise.

Open your blinds by day and light bright Area by night. Illumi nate your rooms. Hang pictures npon your walls. Put books and newspa pers npon your tables. Have music and entertaining games. Banish de mons of dullness and apathy, that have so long ruled in your household, and bring in mirth and good cheer. Invent occupations for your sons. Stimulate their ambitions in worthy directions. While you make home their delight, fill them with higher purposes than mere pleasure. Wheth er they 9hall pass boyhood and enter upon manhood with refined tastes and noble ambitions depends on you. Believe it possible that, with exertion and right means, a mother may have more control over the destiny of her boys than any other influence what ever." No amount of denunciation of evil ways will answer the purpose. The miud, the attention, must be preoccu pied by useful thoughts and purposes. What the sun is to our entire material world, so intelligence, pure mental light, is to the social world, and back of all intelligence, as its very source and sustenance, is a right spirit a determination to do what is right and useful. The older members of a com munity owe it to the younger to help them in all good ways. The American Agriculturist gets better and better all the time. The December number on our table is good evidence of this fact. The con tents are as varied as thoy are useful. Among the more important articles are: Designs for scroll sawing; ChriBtmas around the world; The Doctor's correspondence ; Christmas ; A sheep barn ; Wickets and stiles for fences; Tame grasses in the west, by Prof. S. R. Thompson of Neb. ; An underground ice-house; Suggestions for Christmas gifts ; Winter feed for milch cows ; Bee notes for December ; Hints on hog killing, &c. The fact is that the Agriculturist is the very best publication of its kind.

For the benefit of those who have been discussing the subject of clefs or the position of the four parts in har mony I wish to make an explanation. "The tenor is the second of the four parts in harmonical composition reck? onlng from the bass." It never (as has been stated by some disputants) runs above the alto or soprano. The tenor clef is also called the C clef and differs from the treble or G clef an octave in pitch. This is an undisputed fact among musicians generally. Rosa T. Page. Keep for Refereace.

Notice is hereby given that at the general election held within and for Platte county, Nebraska, on Novem ber 6tb, 1883, a majority of the legal votes cast had therein the words "For Township Organization," as shown by the poll-books of the several precincts in said county. John Stauftxb, 2 Co. Clerk of Platte Co., Neb. Farm Note. Bismarck, Nov. 11th, 1883. The election is a thing of the past, but for the future let us adopt a new policy, vote for the candidates on their qualifications and honorableness of officers and citizens. This will better the condition of .affairs, and we will feel better and I know the candidates will feel better and be better off, and further by thus doing Platte county will go the front. We can boast of as good talent as any other county. Let us now as men promise that our interests will be represented in the county and at the state capitol. Township organization has carried ; .we are.no won equal footing with our sister states. Let- us enlighten our neighbors. It is their privilege as well as their business to know where and how- their money is expended. We should favor enterprise aud com petition, but not unnecessary extrav agance. If we do pay a high tax, show us the value of our money (we want value received). We favor progress, and believe the laborer is worthy of his hire, but not taxation without representation and value given. I am satisfied the adoption of township organization in Platte coun ty will prove to the people the great est favor they ever granted them selves. It is but a natural conse quence that some would oppose it. There are men who are opposed to anything, and ' never satisfied with themselves. They are always crying "wolf." Let us heed the old adage People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Farmers are improving the fine weather, some threshing, some plow ing, some building houses, barns, cat tle sheds, etc., some commenced husking corn. Corn is soft and green for the time of year. The crop will not near meet the farmers estimate. Our farmers are putting many of their fat hogs on the market. Our farmers have done an unusual amount of fall plowing. This is right. Bro'tber farmers, fall plow, sow tame grasses, timothy, clover, blue grass, plant out groyes, fruit trees, shrub bery of all kinds. The time is near that this must be done. It will pay you big. Our seasons are changing. Civilization is aiding rapidly in this matter. The day is at hand when Nebraska is a place sought for. Its former reputation is no longer that terror to eastern people. Again farm ers, plant a variety of crops. If one don't prosper, perhaps another will ; plant as early varieties of grains as you can ; get that adapted to our cli mate; loose no opportunity to im prove your stock, hogs in particular. As hogs will soon be the farmers most paying stock, get tame pastures for your hogs, they need room and grass. It don't pay to raise hogs in small pens. Make your hogs fat. Corn is cheap and the price will not be lower but we believe higher; sort your corn, feed the soft to your stock, it, will pay you much better than to throw all together in the crib. A Subscriber. Haaphrey. The coal famine is supposed to be over. Mr. Geo. Raab is stopping with us for a time, being employed as tinner by Newell South. John Wagner, we are sorry to say, has been laid up by the erysipelas in his hand for over a week. We hope to soon see John at work again on bis new house. Mr. Abbott, wife and son, parents and brother of Mrs. Briggle, have moved here from Benton Co., Iowa. Mr. Abbott, who is a carpenter by trade, will probably follow his trade here. Last week there apparently was a hog day, if such animals have days, as our busy buyers received two hundred and forty-nine head in a single day; for a little town we think that a fair day, yet we always believed that Humphrey was the place for live business men. Rev. Tucker preached a very inter esting sermon at the school-house last Sunday, The Sabbath school is not broken up or down as some supposed, but is being nicely attended. Mrs. Tucker takes the Bible class in her charge since the removal of Mr. J. Sloan, who has sold out and gone east. The hour is, however, changed to begin Sabbath school half-past one aud preaching every Sunday half past two. C. MEMPHIS ROUTE SOUTH. Kaasaa City to Men-phis With out Change of Can. The attention of the people of the west and north-west is called to the MemphiB extension of the KansaB City, Ft. Scott & Gulf Railroad, now completed and in operation between Kansas City, Mo., and Memphie.Tenn. The completion of this short line to the south brings that heretofore to the West practically inaccessible sec tion into close relation with the West and North-west to the very great ad vantage of all. Through trains for Memphis with Pullman Pulaco sleeping car and ele gant day coaches leave Kansas City daily, saving frequent changes and many hours time to Memphis, Jack sonville. Fla.. New Orleans, and all Southern cities. Tourist's tickets via this short ronte to Jacksonville. Mo bile, New Orleans, and all the winter pleasure resorts of the South, will be on sale at all coupon offices through out the west. A map of this new route has just been prepared and will be mailed free on application to J. E. Lockwood, G. P. & T. A., Kansas City, Mo. 1 Notice to DellaqaeatM.

STOVES, HARDWARE & TINWARE, GO C. D. BARLOWS, See Cera. Ed. Jourkal : Nebraska will ex perience next season one of the most difficult times to get corn that will grow, that ever was known since it became a state. The climate has al ways been so favorable for the matur ing and drying of corn that farmers as a rule do not think there will be any tronble from this source, and the consequence is, not one farmer in teu has prepared his corn for next year's planting. We have had a remarkably wet, cold summer and fall. Corn and cob were full of sap when the late cold spell came and froze the ear as hard as ice, and of course killed the germ; not one bushel in a hundred will grow. In this county corn that was gathered a month ago and laid in a dry place spread out thin, has dried out and is all right. Many people paid me one dollar a bushel for seed corn last spring, and next spring many of them will be glad to get good corn for two dollars per bushel. John Wise. Moaroe Items. Election over; every one pleased that township organization passed. MIbs Rosie Osborn will leave for Chicago next week to attend a young ladies' seminary, to remain a year. Wm. Holling6head ahd John Swish-; er took a trip to Niobrara ; they were so well pleased with the country that both located homesteads and expect to settle on them before spring. C. W. Hollingshead bad just com pleted bis barn with granary on upper floor, aud stored 1700 bushels of grain, when the floor gave way, precipitat ing the entire contents to the floor below. Two horses were in the barn at the time, but saved themselves by jumping to the 6ide of the barn. This little accident does not seem to dam pen the ardor of Mr. H., as we are informed that that interesting event will take place about the 20th, just the same. An ox. BETTER THAN ETER. The Chicago later Oceaa for 1884. 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. Retaining all the old specialties and departments, the publishers have ad ded illustrated biographical sketches of persons prominently before the 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 aud 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 questiou 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 valuabie infor 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 surgeons in the West) ; and Complications (taking in puzzles, enigmas, conundrume.etc), all of which are peculiar to the paper; will give as much space as hitherto to serial and 6hort stories, original aud 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 it 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 One Dollar Per 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 tho 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 Daily (including Sunday) per year Daily (excluding Sunday) per year Wednesday's Edition (with Mu sical Supplement) per year .. Saturday's Edition (sixteen pa ges) per year 12.00 10.00 2.00 2.00 Sunday's Edition (sixteen pa ges) per year 2.00 Postage prepaid in each case. Sample copies of the Inter Ocean will be sent on application. Send money in Registered Letter, Money Order, Bank Draft, or by Ex press, at our risk, and be sure to write the name and address of each subscriber plainly.
