Platte CMUy'Kerrewe'0-
Last fall Tlattc county had three men
elected to the legislature: George G.
Bowman, republican, and John J. Sulli
van and John W. Fuchs, democrats. At
the republican county convention that
nominated Mr. Bowman the, following
resolution was passed:
"Eesolved, That the republicans oi
riatte county, in convention assembled.
VArtUtr onnrnrp thp rniirse of Hon. C. II.
Van Wvck as United States senator from
vau ,,; as wuin;" "--. ---
Nebraska, and hereby express our choice
forhimathenext understates senator."
Mr. Bowman accepted tne nominawun
and was elected to go to Lincoln when
the legislature met in January and repre-
sent the county oi inane, noi uiiui.
How did he do? He went there and voted
and worked against Van Wyck from be
ginning to end. Mr. Bowman had a right
to be opposed to Van Wyck, but he had
no right to accept the nomination and
secure his election from and by Van
Wvck men. With 3Ir. Fuchs it is simi
lar. He, although not instructed (as he
is a democrat), allowed the idea to get
auroaaanu to ue circuisieu u u ....
that he would support the senator. Nei
ther of these two men conld have been
elected on anv other issue aud they knew
it. So thev "played the two-face game
and betraved their constituents. ith
Mr. Sullivan it is different. He voted
first, last and all the time as was expect
ed he would do He made no falae prom
ises to secure an election, but was
successful because he is what his legis
lative record shows him to-be a true
man. But for Bowman and Fuchs we
have the most utter contempt. Any mau
who will sail under false colors does riot
deserve to be called by such an honorable
name as man. We must ask the Colum
bus Journal why its painful silence J
Does it endorse these men's actions,
when it so well knows the existing facts?
To boil it down : the above article
from the Schuyler Quill ceneures
representative Bow man and Fuchs for
not favoring the election of Van
Vyck,whileit does not denounce rep
resentative Sullivan on general prin
ciples. The Journal is asked to
say something. If we were about to
say it in the briefest way possible, it
would be so long as the public are
ruled by party politice, and parties
are ruled by the caucus and conven
tion, there is the place to make your
fight. The Quill does not quote quite
correctly the resolution passed by
Platte county's republican conven
tion ; it was as follows :
Resolved, That the Republicans of
Platte county, in convention assem
bled, approve the general course of
Hon. C H. Van Wyck aB U. S. Sen
ator from Nebraska, and hereby ex
press our choice for him as next U.
S. Senator. That we believe the
next United States Senator from
Nebraska shonld be the choice of the
majority of the Republican members
of the next legislature.
The writer hereof, as an individual
delegate to that convention, opposed
the adoption of the resolution,
mainly because that while the con
vention was pledging the republican
party of Platte county to the support
of Van Wyck, tho enemies of Senator
Van Wyck would use this very reso
lution against his re-election. And
so it proved. The only outcome of
that convention who were selected
by the people to go to Lincoln were
Senator Higgins of Colfax county
who filled -the full measure of the
resolution, and Representative Bow
man, who did not. Some men are
expected to do their duty faithfully,
honestly and squarely, and others are
not. For our part, while we believe
that Bowman never did a single
thiug to favor Van Wyck's re-election,
we do not know that he ever
individually said he would, and we
feel pretty certain that those who se
cured the nomination for him, knew
that he was opposed to Van Wyck.
So much for Mr. Bowman. Like
about a hundred and fifty or two
hundred other republicans of this
county, ho was" opposed to Senator
Van Wyck.
As for Mr. Fuchs, he is a democrat ;
we don't know him individually ; a
Colfax county democrat tells us he
assured them he would support Van
Wyck.
And much the 6ame thing wo learn
concerning Mr. Sullivan, who is said
to have declared he would vote tor
Mr. Van Wyck after he found his
vote wouldu't help elect a democrat.
It is told of him, however, that one
evening in a democratic caucus,
when it was supposed that the choice
was about to fall upon Van Wyck,
Mr. Sullivan hurried on his hat and
darted out of the room, so as not to
be bound by the action of the caucus.
The truth is, John was never aching
badly to vote for Van Wyck, and he
doubtless would have been helping
elect a democrat to this day, rather
than vote for him.
The Quill and the Journal can
favor tho election of U. S. Senators
by the people, aud hope and work
for the day when those who repre
sent the public in the halls of legisla
tion shall be, not only intelligent, but
fearless, outspoken and true to the
people, like Senator Van Wjck has
been.
A Terrible IMsaster.
Saturday morning at about 2:30,
a terrible accideut took place near
Woodstock, on the Central Vermont
railroad. Tue train running at the
usual speed, was thrown fiom the
track by a broken rail and plunged
down upon the ice in the White
river, fifty feet below, aud took fire.
The details of the dreadful accident
are terrible to think of. Forty hu
man souls pinned in the wreck ; the
cars in flames, driving help away;
the intensely cold weather all com
bined to render the catastrophe
heartrending.
A trunk was shipped the other
day from New York directed to J. A.
Wilson of Baltimore, by Adams' ex
press. It was not called for and 60on
commenced to emit a very offensive
odor, and when opened revealed the
body of a man with his feet and legs
and left arm cut off and packed in
with the body. There was no head
on the body. Cards were found in
the clothing bearing the name of
"Ed Sigel, butcher, Troop avenue,
Brooklyn, E. D." The body was
placed in the hands of the coroner.
Ella Buck, the eldest daughter of
Royal Buck of Red Willow, Neb.,
while returning from the station
where she had.been for the mail, was
instantly killed by being thrown
from her horse.
Louisa Wehrer, aged about seven
teen, and daughter of John Wehrer a
farmer who lives abont six miles
southwest of Wisner, died very sud
denly last Friday evening, under
peculiar circumstances. Coroner
Oxford was notified Saturday, to
hold an iLquest and summoned a
inrv. The witnesses Mr. and Mrs.
Kuester, Frank Lundmueller, and
Adolph Becber were examined and
the facts as we learn them from Dr.
Oxford are about aB follows : It ap
pears that Mr. Kuester went to the
house cf Mr. Wehrer Friday on bus
iness and having a bottle of liquor in
his pocket drank freely of the con
tents and passed it around. Mr.
Wehrer and familv drank from the
same bottle, Miss Wehrer drinking
last. In a short time they were all
taken violently ill and the daughter
died. What was in the bottle is not
known but it is thought that some
one drugged it with poison. Dr.
Oxford with the assistance of Dr.
Parcheu and Sutherland of Wiener
removed the stomach of deceased,
which was sent to Chicago for
analysis. The verdict of the coroner's
jury will be withheld until the re
sult of this analysis is known. West
Point Progress.
Mrs. Kuester has since been ar
rested, as it is believed she put
poison in the bottle to poison her
husband. Madison Chronicle.
A strange accident which re
sulted iu death occurred at a school
house in the Bohemian settlement
eaBt of DuBois last Friday, says the
Pawnee Republican. It seems that
after the close of school in the even
ing and the children were on their
way home, a little girl remembered
that she had forgotten her books, and
returned to the school house to get
them. Finding the door locked, she
hoisted a window, and while in tho
act of climbing into the school room
the sash fell on her neck and she was
unable to extricate herself. A farmer
who happened to pass the house on
his way to Humbolt saw the little
girl hanging from the window and
went to ber assistance. lie was
shocked to find life wholly extinct,
although the body was yet warm.
He took the body to the nearest house
where proper attention was given to
it. The little girl was fourteen years
of age.

They also felt the earthquake down
in Lancaster county, the northwest
corner, in the neighborhood of Mal
colm. A heavy rumbling sound
shook the houses until the dishes
rattled, bnt they thought little
of it until they afterwards saw the
report of our earthquake at the same
hour, which was first published in
the Herald. The barometer, as
noticed by oue oi the residents there
at the time of the shock, was 23:0:9,
which was the lowest noted since the
Charleston earthquake. That there
was some serious terrestrial disturb
ance there can be no doubt, but the
exact nature of it we shall probably
never know. If it was simply a
meteor, it is peculiar that we shonld
not hear more reports of people see
ing it at that early hour, between 8
and 9 o'clock in the evening. Fre
mont Herald.
Van Wtck is back to Washington,
and has already commenced stirring
up the animals. On Monday he in
troduced a resolution calling on the
secretary of the treasury for a report
as to whether any national banks are
loaning money or discounting notes
requiring payment in gold coin only.
He probably tramped on the toes of
some millionaire senator, but they
passed the resolution it wouldn't do
to defeat such a manifestly just re
quest. We hopn he will continue
rasping the tender sensibilities of the
pampered aristocrats during the time
he is allowed to remain in that select
society. It is consoling that some of
them are doing something to earn
their salaries. Fremont Herald.
A. P. Blomgren, living near Chap
pell, Neb., on a homestead, attempted
the other day to kill bis wife by
striking her on tho head a severe
blow and afterwards while she was
lying on the bed suffering terribly
from the blow he sot fire to the bed,
intending to burn her up, but she
succeeded finally in making her
escape from the house, but may die
eventually from the blow and burns.
Blomgren, believing he had settled
bis wife, committed suicide by
hanging.

Jan uary of 18G, for although the former
has seemed to be cold and unpleasant,
yet the mean temperature of the 9ame
month last year was one-half that of this
year, while 1G inches more snow fell than
now: the lowest temperature attained in
either month was 27 below zero, while
the highest temperature in the same
period was 0 higher this January than
last. The number of stormy days was
about the same in either case, but this
year the snows were more of the nature
of squalls than continuous falls. Last

was about to use for some purpose in
the practice of my profession, J ac
cidentally spilled eorae of it on my
left leg between the ankle and the
knee. Well, sir, I didn't think of its
being a very severe injury at the
time, though it made quite a painful
wound; but I had a terrible time
with that leg. On the place where it
was burned with the acid there came
arunniugsore which never left me
for three years, aud which might
have been there yet if I hadn't used
S. S. S. It discharged a serum-like
matter and was very painful at times.
It was a great inconvenience to me
in my business, (or a man to be a
successful veterinary surgeon must
be both active and muscular. - Well,
it was queer, but I couldn't find any
thing that would cure that sore. I
submitted to the treatment of a num
ber of physicians in turn, and tried
various remedies, both standard and
empirical, in which I bad considera
ble confidence. But I got no better.
After suffering great pain and pecu
niary loss for three year?, 1 conclud
ed to try it myself. I tell you I was
rather discouraged, but last spring I
began taking S. S. S., and felt hotter
right tff. AMer using six bottles,
averaging one bottle every seven or
eight days, I was cured up. The leg
was all right, aud it has never bother
ed me a bit since. I am kind of
mashed on that medicine, but I have
good reasons to be. I can't say too
much for it, and almost believe it
would cure anything. I have heard
a great deal of what it has done, but
you see this iustance of which I
have told you was a cure of which I
had personal and positive knowl
edge. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis
