He thinks the bark he leaves us is of
the cedar species. The water lay
immediately under it, and a tough
blue clay over it. Fifty-one feet of

and it has been demonstrated by ex

is as rich as it is at the surface.
We see by the Kalamazoo corres
pondence of the Norfolk News that
Miss Carrie Lawson (formerly of this
city) recently had a narrow escape
from death or injury : she was with
Geo. Churchill ; "they had two young
colts hitched to a chaise, and were
just starting out for a ride when the
horses became scared and started to
run, headed for a row of large willow
trees just -oast of L. Jenkins'. Mr.
Churchill could neither turn nor hold
them and they dashed into the trees,
breaking the neck-yoke in two and
the tongue in four pieces, throwing
Mr. Churchill and Carrie over the
front of the chaise under the horses
feet. One of the horses stepped over
Carrie's head, but as soon as they
could she and Mr. C. got up, without
oven a scratch."
Mr. John A. McConnell, editor of
the Charleston (Ills.) Plaindealer, and
Miss Martha A. Kennedy, of this

at the residence of the bride's sister,
Miss Caroline Kennedy, at noon, this
week, the ceremony being conducted
by Rev. Geo. B. Smith, pastor of the
M. E. Church, assisted by Rev. Dr.
Drummond. The ceremony was wit
nessed by a pleasant party of some
thirty or forty guests. The bride was
the recipient of many handsome and
valuable presents, and the occasion
was one long to be remembered by
those who shared in its enjoyments.
The only regret in the matter is that
by this marriage Cadiz loses another
of its best girls. Her presence.wlll
be missed, but she will be followed to
her new home in the west by the best
wishes of a host of friends. We con

aad Mrs. W. A. Clark took place at
their residence ia this city. The cer
emony was admirably conducted by
Esquire Capt. Hammond, .Henry
Woods and Mrs. Roscoe standing up
with the happy coaple.
A splendid sapper had been pro
vided by Henry Woods, and very
nicely prepared by his wife (daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Clark) and was serv
ed at their residence. . Everything
was done that could have been fore
seen to contribute to the pleasure of
the occasion.
. Oae of Mrs. Clark's brothers cele
brated his golden wedding three
years ago a pretty good record, two
oat of five children. Ho hae lived all
this time, in the some hoase ia which
he was married, and never been
seventy-five miles away, while Mrs.
Clark ia that time has lived in seven
different states of the Union, besides
Canada and New Brunswick, and in

We learn that this was the first
goldea wedding ever celebrated in
Platte county.
It is a long road that has no turn,
and Platte coontv, on a close inspec
tion, doa't seem to have been rnn in
the past on the principle of economy,
or even leaning- toward "reform."
The people are beginning a little now
to investigate the affaire of the county
and inquire into the subject of taxa
tion and' how the taxes are being ex
pended.' We think it will make' a
dark picture when all is developed.
The management of conaty affaire
has so far been in the handhof demo
crats, who are so anxious generally
to obtain the spoils of office that it ia
a wonder more strains of construction
have not been placed upon the laws
to obtain fees. It is time now to
iatrodaee into tho- pwMie caofSjSt
Platte county a little economy ''ami
reform. Every honest citizen, every
intelligent man who has to pay taxes,
favors a strict compliance with law,
and if democrats find that they can
not secure this through democratic
incumbents, they should cheerfully
unite and place some republicans in
office who are known to be in favor
of economy and who will practically
carry it our. Men wno remain in
office a long time are apt to become
careless of the people's money, and.
as a general role, lose all interest in
matters of economy, feeling more in
salaries and fees.
Jncredible as it may seem, there
are citizens of the county who think
that R. H. Henry draws a salary from
the county treasury, as president of
the Driving Park and Fair Associa
tion, and that it is quite a good thing,
financially speaking. On page 46 of
the compiled statutes, section 16, will
be found this paragraph: "When
ever any county agricultural society,
organized by law, shall have procured
in fee simple, free from encumbrance,
land for fair grounds not less than
ten acres in extent, the county board
of said county may, in their discre
tion, if the finances of the county will
admit, appropriate and pay to such
society a sum not exceeding one hun
dred dollars for every thousand in
habitants in said county, to be ex
pended by such society in fitting op
such fair grounds, but for no other
purpose; but not more than one
thousand dollars shall in the aggre
gate bo appropriated in any one
county." There is probably no need
for anything further to say. The
above law is plain enough, and the
money is paid to the society, through
the president, for the purpose of
aiding the society to fit up the fair
grounds. The amount paid this year
was something over $300, we believe,
and Platte conaty has fair grounds
and fairs that she has no reason to be
ashamed of.
S. Guynne, superintendent of the
Nebraska Telephone Company, called
at this office on Tuesday. They are
engaged in erecting a line between
Fremont and Columbus, and if de
sired, they will put in an exchange at
North Bend. He informed us that
they were setting four miles of poles
per day, and that the line to Colum
bus would be completed hmde of two
weeks. The line will be the best in
the state as they are using copper
wire instead of the iron wire usually
used on tho lines, and the superin
tendent is accompanying the force to
see that everything is -done in the
very beat manner. After the line is
constructed. to Columbus they will
put ia the town exchanges. Superin
tendent Guynne says that they will
put in an exenange ii iney get as
many as eight or ten subscribers,
which we are assured they will cer
tainly obtain. We hail the telephone
as connecting us with the outside
world 'in a meaner that no other ia

The following was prepared for
last week's Journal, but omitted be
cause of a press of other matter :
' Sunday evening, at the Congrega
tional church, Mrs. Slaughter, Sup't
of the Home for the Friendless, at
Liacoln. gave a very entertaining ac
countof the origen, the purpose and
thework of that institution. It was
a plain, straight-forward story, giving
interesting incidents in the history of
tho institution, now in operation sev
eral years. If all the generous
hearted people of the state could know
what a field for usefulness this insti
tution nas opened, and how good a
work it is doing, if they could have
beaf Mrs. Slaughter's earnest state
ments of Sunday evening, we are
ureftbere would, be such a donation
for one institution as would gladden
the kearta of its inmates. There de
serted babes are cared for there are
twenty such in the institution ; home
lessor neglected children ; outcasts ;
deserted and helpless wives, and the
ageL"weak and forsaken by relatives.
We jpaow, from lady friends in Lin
cdlnlhat the Home, under the effec
tiveaoperintendency of Mrs. Slaugh
ter, ia all that its name implies. To
the ladles who, by state and county
organisation, manage the affairs of
the borne, it is a labor of love and
devotion, and all of us can recognize
it as one more illustration of that
"poire and nndefiled religion," which
Visits tho fatherless and widows ia
thetit 'affliction.
Tliere are a goodly number of im
poaat features about the Home that
are Uttle known in the state, among
whtth are that help may be contribu
ted In the form of money, provisions
or ctothing, and that the express com
panies make no charge for the trans
pbrfetioa of such donations. Mrs. S.
related how Central City had sent
tbais word that they would furnish a
comitate Thanksgiving dinner for the
Home, and described the joyous way
ia ahich it was received by the 1n
m&tsjs. The turkey, the chickens, the
pudding, the cranberry Bauce, every
thing, complete for a Thanksgiving
dinaor as good as anybody's mades
them very thankful, and when she
tol them that their, to them un
known, friends, no doubt felt even
taiwarthna taoy. did fjaoseaee Jt wae
really "more blessed to give than re
ceive), they said, "they must feel very
much delighted, then.'
Several schools have contributed
potatoes by allowing pupils to bring
one or more potatoes each as a dona
tion. From Tekamah they had sev
eral large boxes of snpplios sent them
in pound package?, collected at a
sociable given for the purpose
pounds of sugar, soap, tea, coffee,
etc., etc.

which we shall soon have more to say .

The Norfolk News of the 22d has
this paragraph. Compton's numerous
friends and acquaintances in this
neighborhood will be glad to read
that he escaped injury :
"On last Friday night as a freight
train on the F. E. & M. V. railway
was coming west, the engineer noticed
that a bridge across a little run be
tween Rock Creek and Wisner was
on fire. He at once reversed his en
gine and told bis fireman, Charlie
Compton, to jump, at the same time
taking a flying leap into the darkness.
Charlie escaped unhurt, but the en
gineer was leas lucky, having his
shoulder dislocated. When the en
gine struck the bridge it went through
and nine freight cars, were piled up
on top of it, all being consumed by
the flames. In one car were a span
of mules aud some cattle belonging
to some emigrants who were on the
train, and it is supposed that one of
them was in the car with the stock at
the time of the accident, and that he
was killed in the wreck and bis body
burned up by the fire. A temporary,
track was laid around the wreck and
trains were running as usual in the
afternoon."
