ticket: For clerk," John Stauffer; for
sheriff D. C. Kavanaugh ; for. treas
urer, C. A. Newman ; for judge, C. A.
Speice; for superintendent, W. H.
Tedrow; for coroner, W. Edwards;
for survevor, J. Eusden. The con
vention appointed tbe following del
egates to tbe state convention : J. E.
North, R. H. Henry, J. W. Lyncb,
Phil Bender, J. B. Delsman, G. A.
Scbroeder, George Lehman, J. Keboe
and F. Brodfuebrer.
On last Friday evening the mem
bers of the "W. Y. BisBell Hose
Team" met at Engine House for the
purpose of organizing a Hose Com
pany to be separate from the regular
Engine Company, but under the con
trol of tbe city. At 8 p. m., Mr. Geo.
Spooner was called to preside over
the meeting, when a constitution and
by-laws were read and approved.
Next in order came the election of
officers: W. Y. Biesell was unani
mously elected president and F. W.
Shaw vice-president ; after a spirited
contest, Henry Hockenberger was
elected secretary, and Geo. Spooner
treasurer; J. C. Martin was then
elected forman, and Chas. Taylor
assistant. After appointing some
committees the Company adjourned
to meet on tbe first Monday in
November.
D. C. Haskell and R. C. Cbarle
ton, two representative business men
of Vevay, Indiana, en route to Fuller
ton, last Wednesday stopped a few
hours with their old friend L. A.
Clark, agent "Burlington Route."
These gentlemen are visiting our
state for the purpose of finding desir
able locations for farming and stock
raising. They expressed themselves
as highly pleased with their investi
gations thus far and no doubt will
find it to their interest to locate at
some point on Nebraska's fertile soil.
We have plenty of excellent land,
splendid railway, church and school
facilities, a climate uneqnaled in tbe
west, a population of honest, hard
working people that compare in point
of intelligence favorably with that of
any connty in the state. All these
and many other advantages possessed
by Platte connty Bake it a very de
sirable location lor nosae-seekers.
Ceaaty Ticket.
KMIL rOHL,
Tan naaniBQOUs choice of the conven
tion for the very important and res
ponsible position of treasurer, is a
man every way worthy of the place.
He was born in Silesia, Prussia, in
1843. His education consisted In
preparation in a normal school for
the profession of teacher, and he is
therefore well qualified to handle the
accounts and affairs of tbe treasury.
There will be nothing in tbe office
that be cannot understand and do ; no
minutiae that be cannot fully look
after. After gaining his education,
Mr. Pohl served seven years in tbe
Prussian army, being with it in the
war between Prussia and Austria.
In the fall of '67, at the age of 24,
Mr. Pohl removed to the United
States, locating in Calumet county,
Wisconsin, where he passed two
years in farming and then conducting
a store.
In the fall of 74, he removed to
Nebraska, and shortly started in the
agricultural implement business with
Gerhard Schutte, where many of our
readers became acquainted with him.
He has since been engaged in busi
ness here, and in all his relations has
shown himself worthy tbe entire con
fidence of his fellow-citizens. He
will account, according to law, for
every cent that comes into bis hands,
and witt aake Platte connty an
economical, careful official.
MARTIN J. HOG AN,
The candidate for County Clerk, was
born in Tipperary county, Ireland,
Jan. 25,1862. In '69, his family re
moved to America, locating in Shell
Creek twp., this connty, where they
have since resided. Mr. Hogan re
ceived his - edncation in the public
school of his neighborhood, and at
the High School in Omaha. He is a
young man of much more than or
dinary ability, having taught school
with good success the past three
years. He is an excellent penman
and accoutant, and thoroughly com
petent to transact that part of tbe
business of the county which falls to
the lot of tbe Clerk, and would do bo
in strict accordance with law.
R. H. LAWRENCE,
Candidate for surveyor, is a Canadian
by birth, and came to Nebraska in
73 with his step-father, Rufus W.
Young. His education has been
mostly at the High School in this
city, under tbe immediate supervision
of Prof. Cramer, an accomplished
civil engineer, who haB given Mr.
Lawrence practical lessons in sur
veying. J. J. Maughan, the present
County Surveyor, about two years
ago appointed Mr. L. to tbe position
he now holds, deputy county sur
veyor. Besides his experience as
surveyor tor the county, he has been
in tbe employ of tbe general govern
ment in a like capacity. He takes a
lively interest in his j-rofession, being
an active member of tbe State Asso
ciation of Engineers and Surveyors,
and will continue to give good satis
faction -as a srrrveyor.
.I.E. MONCRIEF,
The candidate for County Superin
tendent of schools is so well known
to our readers as to need no bio
graphical sketch from us at this time.
His work in the county is his record,
and he will continue it for another
term.
DAN. CONDON,
Tbe candidate for Sheriff was born in
County Cork, Ireland, in 1838. In
'47, his family removed to Montreal,
Canada, where, just after landing, bis
parents both died, ever since which
time (when young Dan was nine
years old), he has made his own way
in the world. This has developed in
him a reliance upon his own indus
try and perseverance. Dan. is hon
est, capable, generous-hearted.
A6 Sheriff be would exercise the
functions of his office strictly accord
ing to law, but would, as much as
possible "temper justice with mercy."
WM. M. CORNELIUS,
The nominee for County Judge, is so
well known to the great body of our
readers that it seems hardly worth
while to give even a brief sketch of
him. Born in Butler Co., Penn., Dec.
25, 1849, he received there, in the
good pnblic schools, such an educa
tion as fits every bright youth for the
battle of life in these times of strife.
Studying law with Hon. T. C
Campbell, be was admitted to practice
in 1879, in which year he came to Ne
braska, locating in this city, where he
has been engaged ever since in the
practice of bis profession.
There is no question of bis entire
fitness for tbe office, and of his con
conducting it juBt exactly according
to law.
DR. GEER,
The candidate for Coroner, made a
very favorable impression npon the
convention which nominated him.
The Independent, of Humphrey,
(where Dr. Geer resides) says of him :
"He is a representative republican,
always ready to his part to achieve
success for the principles of the party
in which he is a faithful and enthu
siastic worker, and being personally
popular, will carry the north part of
the county solid, regardless of party
ties."

The neighbors are preparing for
corn-husking.
John G. JJreher is selling tbe
greater part of his bay this year.
Walter and Sybil Butler are attend
ing tbe high-school at Columbus.
The first frost of tbe season made
its appearance on the night of the 3d
of October. It was quite a heavy
one, freezing ice a quarter of an inch
thick. Fortunately the corn was not
injured, almost all of it being hard
enough to shell.
Mary Dreber started on tbe 4th to
visit her sister, who has been lately
married and removed to Ibe vicinity
of Plum Creek, where her husband
had taken a homestead previous to
his marriage. They are both young
and lately from tbe old country.
News is scarce, owing to tbe farm
ers all being absorbed iu the thought
of corn-busking time having once
more found its way back to this por
tion of corn raising and knowledge
seeking Nebraska, which is being
patronized by good fortune lately.
Mrs. Detwiler, who has been visit
ing her daughter in Omaha, returned
home the first of this month, but she
haB again started to visit another
daughter who resides in Chicago, and
whom she has not seen for a great
many years. She expects to return
in a few weeks.
As tbe steam-threshers were going
home on tbe afternoon of the 3d of
October, five of tbem jumped out of
tbe buggy, ran into Thomas M.
Wilson's corn-field, picked ears of
corn and threw at each other. Net a
very creditable proceeding for young
men who consider themselves res
pectable members of society.
Thomas M. Wilson was agreeably
surprised on the 3d, by meeting two
friends from Illinois in the persons of
Mrs. Stewart and her son Robert,
who are now residing one and one
half miles east of Columbus. Tbey
are going to make Nebraska their fu
ture home, and I hope tbey will be as
well pleased with it as all tbe old
settlers of this country are.
A few farmers in this vicinity allow
tbeir small pigs to run at liberty.
This not only gives a great deal of
trouble to tbeir neighbors, but as tbe
hog disease is going the rounds they
are apt to die with it sooner than if
they were kept at home. Thus tbey
loose all of their pigs, while a little
extra precaution and care might have
anted all of them.

The Lyceum exercises Friday
evening were listened to by as many
ae could get'iuto the High School
room, and the audience showed their
appreciation for the various numbers
of the program. Owing to tbe ab
sence from town of some of the dis
putants, and the understanding by
seme of the others that the debate on
woman suffrage would be postponed
week on account of oonrt being in
seesion, the affirmative was not rep
resented except by drafted troops,
who, however, fought nobly. J. E.
Mnnger and Carl Cramer were tbe
drafted debaters on the affirmative,
C. A. Brindley and Urs. Page main
iained the negative, lit iajtxpectad'
on all bands that tbe original pro
gram for the discussion of this question-
will be presented in the near
future. Miss Rose North, with a
song, and Miss Martin, with a recita
tion, (both in their very excellent
way) kindly favored the Lyceum,
upon call. The audience were loth to
adjourn, voting down several motions
to that effect, evidently wishing to
hear more music. If interest in the
Lyceum continues to grow a much
larger room will soon bavo to be
procured.
Mr. L. Phillips has handed us
two unique papers, one the War Cry,
the official gazette of the Salvation
Army, Rev. W. Booth, general, and
Frank Smith, commissioner, the other
a copy of the Chicago Herald for
Sept. 26, 1985. Editorials, advertise
ments, telegraphic news, end all the
twenty-eight columns are written up
on an imaginary basis of what will
be a hundred years from now.
Among the events are tbe turning
over of tbe city of Chicago to the
general government, it having be
come tbe new capital if UsSv United
States; the dense forests of Nebraska
are referred to ; the Hebrews return
to Judea; a new money is spoken of
on the basis of a late discovery by a
professor of Arizona, and called Con
crete Energy, E 1 representing a unit
of this force, corresponding to $1 in
our system, E 5. a 5 note, etc. The
editorial upon the subject gays that
electro-bicycle riders, aero-cab pro
prietors and freight balloons will find
it of inestimable convenience. The
paper is a rare curiositv throughout.
Tbe Sisters of the Hospital will
Bend some of their number out with
in a few days to solicit money to
purchase coal for that institution.
The Journal always likes to say a
good word for this and such-like
charitable purposes. Those who have
been favored, first with good health,
second with plenty of work and good
wages and consequent plenty or
abundance, cannot place a contribu
tion iu better care. These women
devote their time and energy to tbe
good of others, and they are doing a
most excellent work.
Bisaark.
Threshing aud haying are nearly
done. Tbe next then on the program
will be corn husking, but tbe worst
thing yet is tbe low price for corn aud
the terrible scourge among bogs.
Hogs and cattle are tbe main essen
tials for a market for Nebraska farm

Waggoner and Barnes, a silver 6poon
holder by MisB . Gleason, a pickle
stand by William Swartsley, beside
other presents and of course due
thanks were extended the donors.
