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.

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.

In accordance with the proclama

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

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.

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.
