One day last week one of L. D.
Clark's spirited buggy horses be
came frightened near Baker's barn,

occupant at Hammond's corner,
bringing up at tho home barn, doing

We are in receipt of No. 1, Vol. 1
of the Argus, published at Platte
Center by Warwick Saunders. The
Journal hails the new paper as an
other force helping to develop the
resources of Nebraska. No town but
may bo very much benefited by a
good newspaper; indeed, it is almost
indispensable in these times to the
welfare of a community.
Miss Breyer won golden opinions
from our amusement goers by her
superb acting, while the ladies found
an additional attraction in the ex
cellent manner in which she dressed
every character. Elegance of materi
al, good taste and skill, all combined
to make her the best dressed actress
that has appeared at Brooklyn this
season. Brooklyn, 2f. T., Eagle.
Mr. W. F. Uillman.one of the edi
tors of the Cedar Rapids Era, was in
town Friday last and called at these
newspaper headquarters. He was on
his return home from a three weeks
tour of the western country with
the Nebraska Press Association,
about 60 mombers of which made up
the party. He speaks well of the
section visited and reports a very
enjoyable trip.
Buy the Whitehill sewing ma
chine at A. & M. Turner's. It is
guaranteed to give satisfaction in
every particular. It is one of the
very best machines sold, is handsome,
durable, strongly-built ; is easy run
ning, is very easily managed, and
makes a neat stitch. Yon will save
money by examining the Whitehill
before porchasing. Give yonr orders
to G. W. Kibler, traveling salesman.
J. C. Swartsley, one of the board
of county supervisors, narrowly es
caped death Tuesday last, at the
hands, so to speak, of a threshing ma
chine. He was throwing sheaves to
the table, and, seeing one partly
lodged on a belt, be was gently re
moving it with a fork, when the belt
going at a rapid rate, caught on a
tine, whirling the fork in such a way
that it drove straight for the pit of
Mr. Swartley'e stomach, and proba
bly would have penetrated it had it
not been for thick clothes that Mr. S
had on. It was a terrific blow, bnl
with the assistance of those two good
and capable Samaritans, Drs. Martyn
& Schug, Mr. Swartsley is around
again and apparently all right. Some
time ago he got kicked by a horse,
and now this rumpus with a thresh
ing machine, led Sup'r Hudson to
charge him with being a quarrelsome
man, but Mr. Swartsley declares
these contests were not of his seeking.
The probability is that a very
large proportion of the butchers stock
among cattle in Illinois will be
thrown on the market as early as
possible, because of the scarcity of
feed naturally enough, that will be
kept over which will require the
least feeding with the greatest prom
ice of success, the younger stock.
Even now many Illinois stockmen
who are able to do so are talking of
coming to Nebraska with their herds.
The Journal reiterates that there is
likely to bo a good prico for all the
hay that can be put up in Nebraska.
It might even pay this season, as it
does in Kansas, to cut the corn aud
shock it. It certainly will, if the cost
will not exceed, as there, two nud a
half cunts a shock of 19C hills. Save
all the provonder.
Drs. Martyn & Schug have pro
vided themselves with one of the
neatest batteries we ever saw, aud
connected with it is an electric light
whioh they can, without injury,insert
exposed into any cavity of the humau
farme.au d see plainly whatjis going on.
This apparatus is especially adapted
to examining the throat, and with it
a doctor can see every Bpot. The
battery is a powerful little machine,
and those who need toning up can
take their electricity in steady
strengthening streams.
Laxity in the enforcement of law
is one of the greatest evils of these
times. There ought to be something
more definite as to the punishment of
effences against tho peace and good
order of society. What may be any
body's business is really nobody's,
and It doesn't just look sensible to let,
a criminal go unpunished and unprus
ecuted, only because no one feels
wealthy enough to be at the expense
and trouble of a prosecution that
ought to be tho work of the general
public.
The canning business is destined
to be of enormous extent in the west
before many years. Already, where
it has been properly begun, the re
sults reached have been beyond
promise. At Council Bluffs, the
factory works up from 1,000 to 1,500
bushels of tomatoes daily thus run
ning up 16,000 to 24,000 cans every
twenty-four hours. The Nonpareil
says that if the season had been
favorable, the business would have
been at least doubled.
The performance at the Opera
House on Friday night under the
auspices of the Lyceum was quite
well attended taking the hot weather
into consideration. The net result
was $26.00 over and abovo all ex
penses. The program was carried
out neatly and evidently to tho great
satisfaction of the audience, for many
numbers were encored.
Ephraim Clark, Esq., of Cadiz, O.,
who is interested in the Township
Farm, Stanton Co., arrived in the city
Saturday afternoon and will remain
some little time, combining business
with pleasure. Father time has dealt
gently with Mr. C. since his last visit
to Nebraska, some ten years ago. He
observes a wonderful improvement in
our fair young city.
One of the most beneficial of
modern institutions is the fair, the
exposition, and we have them of all
kinds and varieties, from the society
fair to the world's exposition, bat
each, in its way, is productivo of

the farm, the shop and tho office for
a week and attend the Platte County
Fair.
