H. T. Spcerry gave ub a very
pleasant call Monday. Talking of
bridges, he is inclined to think onr
delegation to Lincoln should secure
state aid for the construction of
bridges across the Loup and the
Platte, even thongh they should have
to combine with the Lincoln capitol
combination. The weather of the past week was
characterized by extreme heat alter
nated by sudden cold waves. Those
persons who have kept up with the
changes and appeared at all times
suitably attired have had Boine ex
cellent practice in lightning transfor
mation scenes, which would soon fit
them to take the stage.
The offices of the county clerk
and treasurer were broken into Sun

together with some trifling articles
lying about the offices.

the men to be flying from the
authorities at David City.

Last Satorday Mr. Geo. Hughes
left at this office a note written upon
a half sheet of greased note paper
which he says he found in a bottle
picked up iu Mr. A. Uaight's pasture
on the Island, where it had evideatly
been washed by the high waters of
the Platte. The following Is the in
telligence the note contains, as nearly
as can be made ont from the dim,
lead pencil writing :
"Head of North Fork of Platte
River, May 24th, '84: To the one
who may find this will do a kind
deed by having it sent and pnbliehed
in the Raritan Bulletin, published in
Raritan, IU., Henderson coonty, for
his friends may find where his last
resting place is. Six of as are en
camped on the great desert, starving
to death ; have nothing to here the
word eat evidently intended was
omitted; horses have got away.
Thank God we have plenty of water,
but nothing else. We are all dying
with mountain fever, and never
expect to see civilization again too
weak to walk and one more day will
be our last unless rescued. Ob, it is
terrible to die this way. I think of
the friends far away. My God! I
can't live much longer. Good bye to
this world ; be sure to 'have this pub

On Thursday evening of last week
a wolf was observed Inrking around
the premises of Mr. Philo Garfield,
living near the old SampBon place on
Bone Creek. Mr. Garfield told the
hired man to drive it away, but the
hired man remarked that it wasn't
one of the kind of wolves that took
kindly to being drove. Mr. G. then
tried to frighten the animal away,
accompanied by his dog. The wolf
then circled around Mr. Garfield and
bounced the dog. When Mr. Gar
field went to the help of the dog, the
wolf turned on him aud bit him
badly in tho left arm. Mr. Garfield
is a very stout man and finally
succeeded in choking the savage
brute to death. He is doing well,
but some fears are entertained that
the wolf was mad with hydrophobia.

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg,
111., says : "Having received so mnch
benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it
my duty to let suffering humanity
know it. Have had a running sore
on my leg for eight years; my doc
tors told me I wonld have to have the
bone scraped or leg amputated. I
used, instead, three bottles of Electric
Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's
Arnica Salve, and my leg is now
sound and well."
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty
ceuts a bottle, aud Bucklen's Arnica
Salve at 25c. per box by Dowty &
Chinn. 5
The bonds having carried, the
next question will of course be the
location of the school-house. When
the patrons of the district come to
consider the situation, it will be
found not 60 difficult a matter to set
tle, after all. There should be al least
half a block of land, and the limit
east will probably be fixed at Madi
son street and west at Olive; of
course, it could not go into the bot
tom on the south, nor would it be
advisable to go ont of the limits of
the city on the north. Propositions
for land will undoubtedly be asked
for.
Before us lies Vol. 1 No. 1 of the
Seward Democrat, a nine column
democratic journal issned at Seward
July 4th. Tho salutatory of its
editor, H. E. Maclellan, pledges to
his readers "a living democratic ad
vocate and a first-class family news
paper" with which pledge the first
number seems to be entirely con
sistent. The latter promise will need
particular attention if the new venture
is to gain a footing in a field in which
two of the best papers in the state
are already published, in a strongly
republican county.
David Anderson certainly de
serves the name of hog king of Ne
braska, having shipped during the
last twelvo months over three hun
dred cars. About seventy-five cars
went to Denver. He is now buying
aud shipping from six different points
along the line of the U. P. R. R., and
ha3 hogs in transit between Nebraska
and Chicago every day in the week,
SuudayB included. He has also
shipped cast and west from Columbus
and vicinity more than seventy-five
cars of cattle the last season.
The Bchool board have elected
teachers for the city schools for the
ensuing term as follows : Prof. Kra
mer as principal, Miss McGath to the
grammar department of the west end
school, Mis3 Emma Bauer inter
mediate aud Mrs. Cbas. Brindley
primary. In the east end grammar
department, Miss Martin; interme
diate, Miss Coalter; primary, Mrs.
Ballou. There remains yet to elect
the principal teachers for the two
schools and an assistant.
A few days ago, while Mr. C.
Mason, living between here and
Pleasant Dale, was deepening an
old well he struck a sixteen inch
vein of coal 60 feet below the surface.
At last accounts the workmen were
drilling farther, with the expectation
of finding a thicker vein. We un
derstand that the coal is of a superior
quality. Jfilford Ozone.

Ed. Journal : A little too much
dry weather here ; the small grain
in quality bids fair to be very good,
straw short, and yield medium. Rye
and barley largely in shock. Corn is
growing finely with a good many
fields a very poor stand. But can
tell better about all crops two months
hence, when the small grain has been
tested by the half bushel, and corn,
potatoes, buckwheat, &c, have
reached maturity. Tame meadow
quite light. Your correspondent has
had an abundance of cherries, over
six bushels, plenty of strawberries,
bushels of gooseberries, and a fair
supply of currants.
Still some building iu the village,
but the event of the season occurred
last Tuesday evening at the residence
of A. F. Terpening, being a reception
given to their many friends by Mr.
J. T. Harrington and wife nee Lizzie
Barker) who were married at Crete
July 2nd. These two old settlers,
after years of courtship, have very
properly, and wisely forsaken the
ranks of bachelor and maidenhood,
aud the hearty congratulations of the
large number of friends whose many
hearty blessings almost bewildered
the blushing bride, and the groom
old persistent (put it in just so Mr.
Editor) bach that he has been said
that he too was as glad as his mauy
friends, that he had finally sur
rendered to the bonds of connubial
bliss. The band furnished good
music, and the G. A. R. comrades of
Mr. Harrington presented the happy
pair with a costly and elegant bible.

Platte Center.
July 7th, 1884.
Our lumber man, Mr. Phillips, has
commenced the building of a business
houge on his lot on 4th street near the
bridge, and also Mr. I. Neimoller
contemplates building in the near
future a business building to front on
4th street. So let Platte Center boom
and come to the front.
O my ! Give us a cooler, and a
nom deplume. "Logan the Chief" is
a terror to a tender-foot Republican.
Now Mr. Editor I want to say this,
(be my position exalted or not), that
there is not one word or sentence in
my communication of Jnne 25th that
can be construed, twisted or stretched
to mean mud or blood; it was all
said as a make-up of items from this
place, and for a little fun, and I am
sure that no Democrat, business man,
Insurance Agent, lawyer, doctor or
any other man will take offence at
what was said, and it is only a tender-foot
who would belittle himself
so much as to write a half column
denouncing the same. Is this a free
country? Must Logan shot his
mouth and close his eyes and say
nothing for fear of hurting some
one's feelings? Must Logan say to
bis Democratic friends you are all
right and that I am only a Republican
skin deep ? Must Logan give Dem
ocrats taffy ? Democrats are too old
to be fed and Mr. Editor you will
find thousands of Democrats voting
for Blaine and Logan this fall from
principle and for pure men. No,
Logan is too old a coon for that ;
Logan feels proud of the men who
arc nominated and Logan must speak ;
aud another thing Logan has the
record of not losing his vote for 24
years and Logan wants the young
men of this country who will cast
their first vote this fall to stop aud
consider well before Jhey deposit that
ballot and be sure and cast it with
that party who has preserved the
honor of the nation and with that
party which has done more for the
poor men of all nationalities than
auy other party of the world. So,
"Republican," let "Logan the Chief"
"have one good hurrah for Blaine
and the 4th of July or any other
mau.
Well, Mr. Editor, tell it in your
excellent paper that we, the people of
Platte Center, bad a glorious old
fashioned 4th. Everybody was on
hand and everybody was happy. The
day was salubrious, no fights, no
drunks, everything went off like hot
cakes with home-made molasses. The
reading of the Declaration by Mr.
Tedrow was excellent. The oration
was good, fhe music by the Glee
Club was magnificent, and the mar
tial music and music by Wasbenber
ger's brass band, and the Calitbum
piau parade was stupendious. There
were over fifteen hundred people in
the grove. And God in bis infinite
mercy sent us a splendid rain tbe day
before which made the people hold
up their heads and bless him for his
goodness. O, let us remember him
for he is so good to us. The most
fun was the fat man's race entered
into by David Carrig, Jr., and
Ernest Myers, and I fancy, Mr.
Editor, with all your sanctimonious
ness, had you seen this race there
would have been a perceptable smile
upon your face, their fat sides shak
ing, their huge feet making the dust
fly put one in mind of Romeo when
he got on tho war path ; the earth
fairly quaked under their heavy tred.
The fire works at night was beyond
conception the best that has ever
been displayed in Platte Center; the
heavens were ablaze with myriads of
rockets and roman candles, and tbe
small boy was not unmindful of his
dutj to his country and never en
joyed bo much fun in his life; but by
some hook or crook fire got into one
of the sky rocket boxes which con
tained a great many rockets, and
ignited which came very near being
a sad affair and only for the end of
the box being left in might have been
disastrous; but no one was seriously
hurt, but beared out of one years
growth; all fell back in good order
except one Polander who undertook
to climb the liberty pole and got
tangled in the flag rope, but he was
finally rescued from his perilous
position by the Hook aud Ladder
brigade. So all honor to whom
honor is due.

The storm of the 25th was accom

vivid lightning, which latter destroy
ed a stable in Genoa with its contents,
including a span of horses. The idea
that a properly constructed conduc
tor, if kept in good order is of no
value as a protection, ought not to be
entertained for one moment, espe
cially in the neighborhood of rail
roads and telegraphs, or even of wire
fences, as we well know that all these
have a tendency to attract the electric
fluid from tbe atmosphere to concen
trate it upon some point of greater
attraction, and if we furnish a good
medium by which the equilibrium
can .be restored without disturbance,
there is no danger.

July 9th, 1884, of diphtheria, 3Iargaret
Elizabeth, daughter of J. C. and Mary
McMahon, aged 17 years, 5 months an'd
1G days, after an illness of eight days.
The deceased whose young life is thus
untimely demanded by the fell destroyer,
at an age when life is always the sweet
est and life prospects the brighest, was
known aud beloved by a large number of
friends in this city, having removed here
with her parents from her birth place
(New York City) while yet in her fifth
year. Her modest, retiring disposition
was a bright, particular jewel in her
character and caused all who knew to
respect her; but in the home circle,wbere
she was the solace, comfort and help of
an invalid mother, her virtues shone the
brightest. She was buried on Friday,
the funeral rites taking place at St.
Francis Catholic church and the remains
followed to the grave by a large number
of sympathizing friends. Fkiknd.
IN MKMOKIAM.
" We have loved her in life, let us not forget
her in death."
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God, in His wisdom, bath recalled,
The boon His love bath given,
And though the body moulders here,
Tbe soul is safe in heaven.
