State Fair. !
The "approaching state fair, to be
held at Lincoln, beginning September
11 and continuing one week, promises
to be the most important and credit
able exhibition ever made by the
State Board of Agriculture. The
change of location from Omaha,
where it has been held for the laBt
five years, has given rise to a spirit
of vigorous and healthful emulation.
It has resulted, through the aid to the
board of a strong local association, in
the preparation of the best grounds
in the west The buildings are all
new or so thoroogbly overhauled, en
larged and otherwise improved as to
be equivalent to new. Their capacity
is greater than ever before. A thous
and stalls and pens, every one under
waterproof and permanent roof, await
live stock, and material is ready to
meet the overflow that is now in
dicated. Visitors and stock from a
distance debark from the trains right
at the gates, avoiding extravagant
charges for car or bus fare. Water
from the city mains is introduced all
over the grounds, and man and beast
will have ample supply of cool, fresh
and clear drink. Special attention
has been paid to the speed ring, and
the finest races of the season in the
northwest will take place on the
track. The state military will be en
camped on the grounds, aud their
drills will add to the attractions. The
show of fine horses and cattle will be
immense. In short, not a feature for
comfort or pleasure has been over
looked. Bates to the fair are re
markably low, and the attendance
will be something unusual in its num
bers. The foregoing statements are
guaranteed by the officers of the state
board.
A cold-blooded murder was com
mitted the other day at tho new house
of John Wilson, in Saunders county,
Neb., about seven miles south of
North Bend. It was noon time and
the hands off duty and a good-natured
controversy arose between William
Rapper and Alex. Kimbrough as to
the position of the negro, Rapper
claiming that he was as good as a
white man provided ho behaves him
self as well. This Kimbrough denied
but seemingly in good nature. Rap
per repeated bis assertion and said to
Kimbrough, "He is as good as you if
he behaves himself as well." At the
last remark Kimbrough arose and
went to the tool chest, procuring a
chisel, and, without a word drove it
into Rapper's left breast and again
under the left shoulder, and then
rushed out of the door and went, no
one knows where. There -were three
or four men there at the time, but the
act was so sudden that they were
almost petrified on the spot. Before
a doctor arrived Rapper's life blood
had ebbed away. Kimbrough is
about 37 years old, five feet eight
inches high, sandy complexion, blue
eyes and quite stoop shouldered and
wore a blue suit.
A correspondent of the Hastings
Gazette-Journal, writing from Ayr,
relates the following. It is at least
worthy of trial : "Some days ago Mr.
O. C. Rogers had three arge bogs
which were taken with the prevalent
and fatal hog disease and he turned
them out to die. He saw them make
an effort to eat the yellow clay that
was in the side of the draw in which
they were lying. The idea struck
him that the clay might be a remedy
for the disease of which they were
dying, for he'had seen it administered
to sheep that had eaten laurel and it
had proved a perfect core. He
drenched his hogs twice a day through
a large horn, giving to each a quart
of this clay made thin with water and
now his hogs are apparently as well
as they were before they were attack
ed with the disease. If this remedy
is an effectual one it is a roost won
derful discovery. It is simple, it is
inexpensive aud it is everywhere to
be found,"
A "machine" paper has asked the
question, whether Yan Wyck will be
the candidate of the republicans, the
mugwumps or the democrats. We
suppose he will be no machine's can
didate, as the machines generally are
all of them in the service of the
monopolies of all kinds. If Van
Wyck will be a candidate, he will be
a candidate of the people against the
monopolies, and will get the support
of all liberty loving men, irrespective
of party machines. The man who
defended the rights of the people
against tresspassing cattle kings and
laBd robbing railroad magnates,
ought to be the candidate of all free
men, who do not wish to be the sub
jects of the aristocracies, trying to
lord over us. The tools of the
monopolies will fight against Van
Wyck and the independent men, who
defend our liberty, will be for him.

Serious charges have been made
against J. C. Morgan, the new dem
ocratic postmaster at Kearney, Neb.,
who was recommended for the posi
tion by Dr. Miller, of Omaha. An
investigation has been had and the
fact brought to light that fifteen
registered letters have been stolen
since Morgan was appointed to the
office, and his accounts with Uncle
Sam are said to be $200 short. One
of the missing registered letters was
from an Omaha bank to a bank in
Custer county and contained '1500,
and it is reported that the whole sum
stolen will reach about $1,000. In
this case the remedy is very plain:
"Turn the rascals out"
A good way to brace a wire fence
is to dig a hole three feet deep, about
eight from the post to be braced, and
on the opposite side from where the
strain comes ; take a stone say about
one foot square, and' with a double
wire fastened to the top of the post,
then to the stone, and drop the stone
into the hole, cover with dirt, aad
yea have the most durable brace that

If ever any man is to be congratu
lated upon his accession to public
office, certainly congratulations are
in order for J. G. Higgins of the
Democrat. The firsC Federal Demo
cratic administration since '61, and
within the first six mouths, he gets
a good fat office, worth say $3,500 a
year. Who, of all the democrats,
wouldn't be an offensive one! It
must be acknowledged that Cleve
land has shown considerable appre
ciation of the editorial fraternity, and,
as it seemed a settled fact that a dem
ocrat must go in, in this case, let ub
rejoice that we have them in Colum
bus strong enough to "knock the per
simmons" from the tall branches.
The Judge, while he wreathes his
countenance in gold-dollar smiles,
will continue to wield the editorial
hatchet.
Great excitement prevails not only
at New Orleans but also at Emporia,
Kansas, at the news of the arrest at
the latter place of Mrs. Minnie Wal
lace Walkap, charged with poisoning
her husband. She formerly resided
at New Orleans, and was the daugh
ter of a lawyer named James E. Wal
lace, and formerly a United States
commissioner. She is only abont
seventeen years old and very beauti
ful. Mr. Walkup was about forty
five years old, and a widower with
two daughters. He was a Virginian
and a handsome, energetic man of
considerable wealth and ability.
Their marriage took place abont a
month before the death of her hus
band. Mrs. Walkup's friends at New
Orleans and Emporia insist upon her
innocence, and claim she is incapable
of committing the crime.
At Central City the prohibition
sentiment is strongly in the ascend
ant, a prohibitory ordinance having
been in effect for more than four
years. Lately a club was formed for
the purpose of obtaining liquor
through an "agent" or "steward," one
of their own number. The prohibi
tion workers got after him with the
law, and the Courier says :
""Judge Hostetter bound defendant
over in the sum of $1,000 to appear at
the next term of district court, and in
so doing took occasion to express his
surpriso that respectable citizens, and
especially officers of the law, should
associate themselves with pimps and
thieves for the purpose of violating
the law, and regretted that he had not
authority to give the leaders of the
organization a term in the peniten
tiary. Bail was promptly furnished."
Beatrice has a canning company
now fairly in its second successful
season's work. Since the season be

will put up peas, corn, tomatoes,
string beans, pumpkins and squash.
In addition to putting up these goods
the company makes all of its own
cans, at which work ten men are em
ployed all the time.

Beware eCMercary aad Potash.
Mercury is more destructive to
human health and lifo than war,
pestilence and famine combined. So
said a distinguished writer many
years ago, and it is as tiue to-day as
then. The poor victim of blood dis
ease iB drugged with mercury to cure
the malady, and then dosed with
Iodides to cure him of the mercurial
poisoning ; but instead of any relief,
the first breaks down his general
health and makes him a cripple, and
the other ruins his digestive organs.
Mercury aud potash are dangerous
even when administered by direc
tions and under the eye of a good
physician, and when put up in nos
trums, often by incompetent persons,
are apt to produce evil consequences.
Be careful of these poisonons mix
tures or you may regret it. Swift's
Specific is entirely a vegetable pre
paration, and should not be con
founded with the various imitation?,
non secret humbugs, "Succus Al
tcrane," etc., all of which either con
tain mercury and potash, or are com
posed of old remedies which have
long since been discarded as of no
value in the treatment of blood dis
eases, and none of them contain a
single article which enters into the
composition of Swift's Specific. There
is only one Swift's Specific (S. S. S.)
and there is nothing in the world like
it. Be sure to get the genuine.

I have been afflicted for nearly
fourteen years with the severest form
of inflammatory rheumatism. For a
large portion of the time was con
fined to bed, and suffered the most
excruciating pain, my legs badly
swollen. My case was thought in
curable by the physiciane, and I have
olten hoped that death would ensue
and relieve me of pain. Last month
I secured, at the suggestion of a
friend, one dozen bottles of Swift's
Specific, aud after using about six
bottles I am entirely free from pain,
the firs! time in nearly fourteen years.
My joints are becoming more supple
aud the swelling gone. I am ready
to answer any inquiries as to the
facts in the case.

The county fair promises to be a
success, farmers calculate to visit it
and many to exhibit something, one
this and another that but you mu6t
not tell what? If a kind Providence

especially if it is well patronized as it
ought to be, and as this year it will be.
The Platte Centerites are in for a
new road direct to ueiz. xne oe
etruction of the bridge near Mor
iarty's, the mishap to Nun. Davis,
son of Mr. David H. Davis, caused by
the road and bridges being so close
to the R. R. track, against the loca
tion of which the Journal protested
in due time, all would seem to de
mand sucb a road and a bridge across
Shell Creek in the proper place. That
road running close to and parallel
with the track for about half a mile,
with its two bridges, is one of the
most dangerous roads in the whole
country. Mr. Davis's mishap is not
the only one, if the least one, and
surely it is not the last one, and if
not changed, it may cost many a life
yet.

However, "lovely children have many

Your correspondent likes to report
cheering news, but feels sorry when
ever he has to relate anything sad.
This is the case at present. Mr. J.
Sbannahan was mowing one day last
week and his little girl, a small but
very bright and lovely little child of
5 or 6 years, went out and hid in the
high grass, and just before the mower
she jumped up and said, "peek-a-boo"
too late too late for him to stop,
for the next moment one of her little
legs was cut off. Only fathers and
mothers can imagine the grief and
feelings of the parents. Others can
only sympathize with them, which of
course everi.-me does. Another sad
accident, it in'i'lit have been, what
happened ! Vt A ILiucmann, on
the 18tu of A i- . Ho was crossing
Shell Croek with load of hay, on
Mori arty 'a bridg-', when the whole
bridge went down with a crash. In
a moment bridge, hay, wagon, horses
and man were ail one mass of ruin
Fortunately, Mr. II. was soon able to
free himself and to cut the hame
strapB of his horecs, and they both,
although they lay one upon the other,
freed themselves, and all tho damage
of the whole affair was one broken
wagon wheel, which' the town cheer
fully will pay for. What happened
to Mr. H. was probably the saving
of others. In the morning of the
same day Mr. George Thomazin
crossed the bridge with bis new
threshing machine, inteuding to re
cross it in the evening. When be
crossed he heard some cracking
noise, but did not think of any dan
ger, and if it had not gone down
with Mr. Heinemann, it would sure
ly have gone down in the evening
with the 5,000 pound threshing ma
chine, and who cau tell what might
have happened? Still another sad
item I have to report It is the death
of Miss Hormelia, daughter of Mr.
ex-county commissioner Joseph Rivet.
Miss H. was a lovely young lady ju9t
budding into womanhood, and her
loss is the more a sad one as Mr.
Rivet has lost quite a number of.sons
and daughters already. The heart
felt sympathy of the whole commun
ity showed itself plainly at the
funeral, something over 50 vehicles
accompanying the coffin to its grave.

The Fifth Aaaaal Fair
Ought to be visited by every farmer
in tho county. The association is
composed of men of public spirit.
They have not made a cent of profit
or even of interest on the money in
vested, and many of them have given
their time and a good deal of valuable
brainwork to make the fair a credit
and profitable to the farmers and
stockmen of Platte county. They
deserve that their efforts and sacrifi
ces should bo appreciated. But some
few farmers are so narrow-minded
and shortsighted that tbey have not
more sense than to know or care how
much a bushel of corn or potatoes
will bring. They don't see that a
good many strangers will come and
that they will see the stock and pro
duce raised in Platte county, and that
they will remember what tbey have
seen and will tell it at home and
abroad, and will come and induce
others to come and buy lands and
Btock and produce, etc.
Some few are grumbling about the
"low" (?) premiums on stock and
produce, and the large sums promised
for speed of horses. But they forget
that the premiums offered for stock
and prodnce all come from tho pocket
of the Association, so to speak, while
the premiums for speed have to be
paid by the competitors. For in
stance, a purse of 1100 is offered for a
certain class of fast horses, 150 for the
first, 25 for second, $15 for third and
$10 for fourth. There are five entries
and each has to pay $20, thus making
up the purse. For other stock not
even entry money is charged and the
premiums offered for produce and
stock are not so small from $1 to $15
is surely pretty well, when exhibitors
have no expenses whatever. It is to
the best material Interests of the farm
ers of the county that the fair should
be well supplied with produce and
stock of all kinds. We have got the
best only let it be brought it I And
it is also for the good of alj that all
shonld visit the fair and bring their
families and friends from abroad.
Wo have good crops and have worked
bard to gather them in. Now let the
fair be a time of general holidays for
all'. Let our Columbus friends be
ware of overcharging for meals, lodg
ing, carriage and so forth, and all will
be satisfactory, and every one will be
glad to have been there, and so will
be The Writer.
Our correspondent, who is himself
an excellent farmer and, as a qtock
raiser, is among the foremost in' the
county, must not be too impatient
with those who have not bad the ad
vantage of experience such as his.
The benefits of fairs are too univer
sally known in these days, even by
the most ignorant, not to be appre
ciated,, and, as for "over charging" for
meals, &c, we do not remember, in
all these years, to have heard a single
complaint of that sort, as to Colum
