On Tuesday last at the residence of

Baker and Miss Hattie H. Smith, of
Galena, were married by the Rev. L.
J. Hall. The bride is a well-known
and admired lady of Galena, and al
though regretting their poor luck the
youths of Galena cannot bnt congrat
ulate Mr. Baker in bis good luck in
carrying off" the prize. Mr. Baker is
an old-time resident of Colorado,
being well known in all parts of the
state, and having been connected with
the Colorado Central for some length
of time in the past. He is now super
intendent of Shepherd's mills in Ga
lena. We unite with many friends in
congratulations to Mr. and Mrs.
Baker, and wish them a long and
happy married life.
Mrs. Drake'x

arranged in an artistic manner to
please the eyeof the beholder, and
mothers can there find hats, bonnets
and hoods, combining beauty and
comfort, for their little darlings;
husbands, also, who love to see their
wives' smiling faces under handsome
canopy, should step in and make pur
chase of a "duck of a bonnet" for the
gentle lady who makes life on earth
to him "like the eden above."

Ed. Journal: One of the pleas-
antest scenes of real life which we
have ever witnessed was enacted at
the residence of Mr. James Naylor
near Duncan, Wednesday, Oct. 15th,
(heretofore published in Journl).
It was the occasion of the marriage of
George C. Smith of Lost Creek, to
Lizzie, eldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James Naylor. The ceremony
was performed according to the Epis
copal service, (which seemed more
beautiful than ever before), by the
Rev. Dr. Goodale. The ceremony
was completed and the one who has
been known as Lizzie Naylor among
so many friends will be known by
that name no more. The happy
couple were congratulated by about
fifty of the most intimate friends and
acquaintances of the family, among
whom were Mrs. Irwin and her
daughter Jennie, Mrs. Dickson and
her two daughters Anna and Mary, of
Rock Island, III. After supper, which
in short consisted of everything that
is good and plenty of it, in Mrs. Nay
lor's best and most hospitable style,
the happy couple with their large
circle of friends eujoyed themselves
until past midnight when they ad
journed to meet again the next even
ing at tho residence of Mr. J. R.
Smith. We wish the young bride
and groom who have been the cause
of all this joy a pleasant journey
through life, and may their last days
be their brightest, and wo will further
ask who will be the next?

a handsome gold breast-pin ; Nellie
Naylor, pair cuff-buttons; Mr. and

sugar bowl ; Anna Kelley, silver but

There was a very pleasant party at
the new house of Wm. Wright on the
eve of the 14th. A few of the neigh
bors thought they wonld give them a
surprise ; they gave a general invita
tion to all their neighbors and to
friends of the family from St. Ed
wards, Voorhees Valley and Albion.
The company gathered at the house of
our township treasurer, Mr. Tberon
Crozier, and went over to Mr. Wright's
in procession. I must say it was one
of the grandest surprises I have ever
witnessed, as not one of the family
mistrusted it. In a very few mo
ments the house was full, eighty or
more being present. We were wel
comed by the host and hostess in a
very cordial manner, and their esti
mable daughters with their winning
ways and bright smiles made it very
pleasant for all. After passing a very
enjoyable evening we partook of a
bountiful repast from the-well-filled
baskets which the company bad
brought that bad been well prepared
for the occasion in the way which
Nebraska cooks are so well noted for.
The company broke up at a late hour
with many regrets that time should
fly so fast. We took our leave, wish
ing the family loagjife Mdaweh'
happiness in their beautiful home.

Somebody has been circulating re
ports against Dan. Condon to the
effect that ho was a railroad man,
that when engaged on the Oregon
Short Line as contractor, he de
frauded many of his employees of
their bard-earned wages, &c., &c.
Patrick Kaahion, who worked with
Mr. Condon on this contract, volun
teers the following statement, and
nails the lie to the counter:
October 25tb, 1884.
To whom it may concern:
I hereby certify that I worked for
Dan. Condon nearly fonr years, on
the Oregon Short Line, and in all
that time I never knew of a single
man who was defrauded of One cent
by Mr. Condon ; on the contrary he
was friendly and lent a friendly hand
to all the men working for him, and
to many others besides ; the truth is
he was generous to a fault, befriend
ing all who came.
Patrick Kashion.
Pat. Lyons adds his testimony in
the following :
October 25th, 1884.
I worked as foreman, under Dan.
Condon on a B. & M. railroad con
tract in the summer of 1879, and
hereby certify that I never heard a
single complaint from any workman
against Mr. Condon with reference
to hiB not paying. Assertions to the
contrary are entirely unfounded.

E. C. Powell and family have re
turned from a visit to their son Ar
thur, who has a position on the rail
road at Munson. Mr. Powell likes
the country very well, but not quite
so well as the vicinity of Platte Center.
A. Henry intends building a store
on his lot, between the building now
occupied by the wideawake and pros
perous firm of Carrig & Lynch, and
that used for the post office. The
building is to be sixty feet long aud
thirty-two foet wide with a partition
lengthwiso through the center so that
it can if necessary bo occupied as

Mr. Judd, who lives about four
miles north of town, met with a seri
ous loss last Sunday evening, through
the criminally careless setting out of
prairie fire while the wind was so
high that it was impossiblo to check
it until it had destroyed property be
longing to Mr. Judd to tho amount of
$125. It is about time that the law
was enforced in regard to the setting
out of prairie fires, as no person's
property is safe a moment, and that
which has taken a lifetime to accumu
late may be swept away in a few
minutes.
The Republican rally Saturday was
a success in spite of the storm. The
Blaine and Logan club of Columbus
with their fife and drum band were
here in uniform, aud treated the peo
ple to a torchlight procession. The
speakers were John Rush of Omaha,
and Capt. John Hammond of Colum
bus. Mr. Rush is a young Irishman
who has worked his way to promi
nence in this state through integrity
and energy. It has seldom fallen to
our lot to listen to a better or more
logical speaker. He kept hi3 audi
ence Bpell-bound for an hour and a
half, and gave one of the best and
most conclusive expositions of Repub
lican principles, and the faith that
was in him, that we have ever bad tho
good fortune to listen to. Mr. Ham
mond, in a short, brisk and jolly
speech, showed up the other side of
the question with good effect and
inimitable humor. Mr. Sutherland
and Our Dan. were present also.
"Mac" was present and brought down
the house with three rousing cheers
for Blaine and Logau. It was unfor
tunate that the evening was so wet,
otherwise there would have been a
very large attendance. T.

from us again the country will have

reader take the two questions: will

the false cry of reform to place in
power the party who came near and
was only stopped by much bloodshed
