The Bcarlet women are taking
title to grounds in their own names,
and decent, respectable citizens, with
their families of growing sons and

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.

A writer in Appleton's Journal
gives a very good recipe for saving
boys. Among the ingredients are :
"See to it, that their homes com
pete with public places in attractive
ness. 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. We furnish
it (in either English or German) with
the Journal, one year iu advance,
postpaid, for $3, and now is a good
time to subscribe.

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.

Notice of the Adeatlea efTeva

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.

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.

and recollections of prominent lit

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,
