LaU fall, also, he was in Creston on two different occasions, on school business. The enterprising agents for the Deering, Messrs.

We would most respectfully refer anyone wishing information as to the merits of the Deering to anyone of the now over one hundred owners and operators in Platte County of Deering self-binding harvesters, more than double the number of any other make. Respectfully, Krausk, Lubker & Co., Agents for the Deering. The Democrat says that the new paper talked of for this place is to be republican. The latest we heard was that it was to be an administration democratic sheet. Since the post mastership has not got to Hensley, the old proprietor of our Democrat, and the land-office receivership has not been delivered over to Higgins, the new proprietor of the Democrat, the administration po licy has not been warmly received by the democratic organ, hence the talk of a party paper that will uphold the righteousness of the administration of public affairs by G rover Cleveland, who seems in capable of taking the advice so boun tifully ladled out to him by our Dem ocrat. Instead of trying to overcome the will of the present proprietor of the Democrat by starting a new paper against him (which is too' costly for all the fon there would be in it) why not bring something to bear upon the presidential end of the line? What is a stomach made for anyway, but to be fed, and when the pigs squeal why can't a little corn be thrown into the pen? It may be th::t the supply of corn is short, and the number of pigs "long," and consequently the presi dent i- not equal to the task of feed ing to the full, but somehow-the fel lows who have all along, or nearly all along, bad office, don't feel right to be without one, either county, state or federal, and to quiet their nerves and stop the fearful squealing all over the land will be silent music to the ears of those who are not asking for office. Byron Millett filed the other day his answer in the superior court in Denver, Col'., to the complaint of his wife praying for a divorce, ne denies all the charges, injuries and offences made against him by his wife in her complaint, averring that those which would be material in ber Com plaint are wholly false, which in cludes the criminal charges she brought against him and afterwards cauetl to be dipmissed in the justice's court. Mr. Millett also in his answer filed a cross-petition or complaint agaiust his wife, in which he asks that he may be divorced. He charges her with wholly disregarding ber marital vows, with extreme cruelty, breach of the trust and confidence betwoen man and wife; that she aud ber sister Susan B. Frantz, there re siding, wickedly, falsely and ma liciously conspired agaiust the peace and happiness aud good repute of Mr. Millett and wholly without reason falsely accuse him of neglect, unfaithfulness and abuse towards his wife. The cross complaint relers specially to the criminal charges which his wife brought against him. He asks that Susan B. Frantz may be made a party in the case, and that upon a final hearing she be ordered to convey the real estate held in trust by her to Mr. Millett. These are the substantial facts in the case as we have gathered them from the Denver Tribune-Republican. Rlraclc fey l,is;hkaiac; aad la. Ktaatly Killed. Eugene Rink, a boy 14 years old, whose friends live in this city, while herding cattle for John Haney Satur day, was killed by lightning. ''Jack or Diamonds," a well known and val uable running pony belonging to Mr. Haney was killed at the same time. When found, the boy and horse were lying close to each other, the boy with the halter strap iu bis hand and the horse with a tnft of grass in his mouth. Mr. Haney tells us that the lad had been with him but three days and that he was under no necessity to stay out in the storm, but lost his life, probably through his determination to be with his herd. By the direction of the Bt. Rev. Bishop of Nebraska, the Bev. Deao Millspsugb has announced a convoca tion for the North Platte deanery, to be held in Columbus, Sept 16, 17, 18.

The friends of the church are request ed to make preparation to attend, and to entertain the members from abroad. Program biter. SA-i. .

In accordance with the proclama tions of the president, of the governor of Nebraska, and of the mayor of the city of Columbus, all business pur suits will be suspended on Saturday, August 8th, 1885, in honor of the memory of the great commander.Gen. Grant. Therefore, our citizens are request ed to meet at the Opera House at 2 o'clock p. in. of said day and observe the same in accordance with the fol lowing pkoguamme: Meeting to be called to order at 2 o'clock p. m. by Hon. M. Whitmoyer. Music by band. -Prayer by Rev. E. J. Robinson. Hymn by choir. Reading selections from scriptures, Rev. MeiBsler. Music by Msennerchor. Address, Rev. O. V. Rice. Hymn by choir. Reading of resolutions. Benediction, Rev. Samuel Goodale. John Hammond, John G. Routson, W. A. McAllister, Committee on behalf of Baker Post No. 9, G. A. R. J. E. North, Lrander Gerhard, A. M. Post, Committee on behalf of citizens. Committee on vocal music, Geo. G. Bowman, W. M. Cornelius and E. Pohl. Committee on decoration, A. Lock- ner and W. A. McAllister. The progressive spirit shown by our citizens in various ways is exem plified by the recent change in the First National Bank. Although its paid in capital has been the largest of any Bank in this part of the country, it was deemed expedient to increase tho same from $50,000.00 to $00,000.00 which with its surplus and undivided profits makes the actual paid in capi tal close on to $75,000.00. Under the National Banking law stockholders are liable in double the amount of Btock. Another feature which will commend itself to our citizens and the patrons of the Bank especially is the connection of J. P. Becker, Gerhard Schutte and Jonas Welch as share holders names familiar to our citi zens from the early history of our city and state. The Bank will continue under the old and popular manage ment of its president and cashier, A. Anderson and O. T. Roen. The most liberal policy consistent with sound aud safe banking which has marked its course in the past will be assured in the future and backed as it is by its stockholders, whose combined cap ital repiesents over half a million dol lars, this institution will rank with the wealthiest Banks in the State. 1 "JfcCersaick at the Bead I would say that I was present at the field trial on the farm of Henry Welch, and was told by their agent that the McCormick was a clear sale before the trial came off. As to the lightness of draft, the horses were taken off from the McCormick foam ing with sweat, and hitched to the Deering, and while going less than twice around a ten acre lot cutting and binding the same width of swath, the sweat dried up. The Deering agents sold two machines on the field, and in my judgment their ma chine, the Deering, was in every way superior to the McCormick. 1 G W. Fulton.

Muell Creek Itenis. The Creamery is beginuing to be more popular among the farmers one alter an other is falling into line with the aimy of cream farmers. More felt binders have been bought this season thiu ever betore. May the farmers gel a fair price for grain, else pay day will come too noon tor many a one. Mr. D. II. Davin has had auother affliction. His youngest daughter Jenny was thrown from a pony and the second or third day brain fever set in and two physicians attended her. Glad to say she is better uow. Boys like to go swimming now as often as well as the recruit said when asked by the drilling officer: "now often ought the soldier to bathe? Answer. "If possible a9 often as possible.'' So the boys; but they ought to be careful not to bathe wheu they arc heated, or right after meals. Everybody as busy as can be in tbe harvest field, pretty warm too. Many a one may feel like the little boy said. to bis dog: "How easy a life you have of it, Carlo; you need not waeh, nor comb, nor go to school," and many a oue might add "nor go into the harvest field to work either!" But then Carlo is only a dog, you know. "No oue can have peace unless his quarrelsome neighbor allows him to," is an old saying. No one cau have a nice clean farm free free from sun flowers, cockleburrs and fire weed, unless bis careless neighbor learns also to keep his farm clean. Some states have laws requiring tbe exter mination of tbe Canada thistles. Nebraska needs a law to compel slovenly farmers to keep their fields and especially the roadsjdes aud tbe Hoes of their farms clean of cockle burrs, sunflowers and fire weeds. If they don't care their more careful, industrious and thrifty neighbors do. X. Y. Z. Fralt JTarM. Tbe Millville fruit jar is the best and handiest fruit jar made.
