R. E. Wiley of Monroe was in town
Monday. He is being talked of by his
friends for an important county office.
If he can be induced to take the nom
ination, we believe he can be elected,
and we know that he would be an honor
to tho county, when elected.
The capitalists of Columbus are
talking of putting in a, motor railroad
system, connecting that city with ad
joining towns. The scheme seems to be
a feasible one, as well as one that would
be sure to result in great good to our
sister city. Schuyler Herald.
Calmar McCune of Stromsburg,
well-known to many of our older citizens
as a Methodist minister, a former resi
dent of this city, and brother to Chas.
McCune of the Deniocrat force, is sorely
afflicted with an abdominal ulcer. So
says the David City Tribune.
Louis Kramer's infant six monthB
old, on Friday last swallowed a bib-pin

a large dose of castoria being the only
medicine used, and the child seemingly
all right in the meantime.

plant trees it will not only be useful but
ornamental.
The Blair Pilot says that the de
funct First National bank of that place

tions, and that the trouble grew out of a
row amongst the stockholders over who
should dictate its management, draw
the salaries and say who should be al
lowed to borrow money their particu
lar friends or the other fellow'.
No. 1 of the Humphrey Democrat
comes to us asking an exchange which
gladly goes, not on the theory that this
new candidate for public favor holds the
right doctrines politically, but because
it will be another force to help develop
the natural resources of the county, and
herald them to the world. What Ne
braska still needs is more good men to
till the tens of thousands of acres of
land yet unturned by the plow; more
families to live prosperous and happy
lives upon these fertile acres; more man
ufacturing enterprises in the cities and
towns, and these and kindred matters
are secured, in great measure, by the
efforts made by newspaper men, in set
ting forth the advantages of the country.
Our new neighbor has, it seems, already
found its road strewn with thorns, if we
are to judge by what it says in this issue,
but we have noticed that it is not what
others say or do that mostly concerns a
person or a newspaper. The Democrat
starts out with a fair share of advertis
ing patronage, without which it is im
possible to publish a paying paper in
this country; it pays considerable atten
tion to the local 'news, and there does
seem to be room for it in this struggling,
pushing, rustling world of ours.
T. J. Potter 2d Vice President of the
Union Pacific, accompanied by S. R.
Calloway, general manager and his as
sistant Mr. Cummings; Mr. Dickinson,
general superintendent and W. A. Duell
his assistant; R. Baxter, train master;
Mr. Hackney, master mechanic; J. E.
Hubbard, superintendent of bridges and
buildings; T. A. Davis, division master
mechanic, and B. G. Bogue, chief en
gineer, arrived here Saturday morning
at 9:30 on a tour ot inspection, this be
ing Mr. Potter's first trip on the line.
Ho is evidently a wide-awake, practical
railroad man, and gathers in the situa
tion of affairs in a very short time. In
their brief stay in the city they had in
terviews with some of our citizens that
may develop into something good to the
general interests of the city.
Joseph Stulb, better known amongst
his intimate friends here as "Stubby,"
who arrived here about a year ago from
Philadelphia, and who taught the young
idea how to shoot in this county, and
who for some time past has been in the
fine fur and hair business, sold out last
week to Geo. Clother, and accepted a
position as second assistant engineer
with a company of surveyors who will
labor in Montana during the summer in
the interest of the U. P. R. R. Co., left
Saturday night for that far-away country
where the festive cow-boy and sage
brush thrive best. His numerous
friends here will very much miss him.
The little church of the Latter Day
Saints is being enlarged and repaired.
Services will be held on Sundays at 2
o'clock p. m. at the house of James
Warner one block east of the First Ward
school house. Services next Sunday,
May 29 will be conducted by Elder G.
W. Galley. This building was erected
in '59, and was the first school house in
the county, Col. G. W. Stevens being
the teacher; afterwards it was used as a
hospital by the 7th Iowa cavalry; then a
court-room and city hall, Dale being
mayor, and was then, in 1871, purchased
by the present owners, and moved to its
present site.
A fire occurred last Friday in the
rear of O. L. Baker's large barn, that,
without the waterworks, might have
burned a large sized hole in the business
portion of the city. As it was, the dam
age was about $17 to James Ducey's
stable, and when the hose was attached,
it was an absolute pleasure to seethe
way in which the life of the fire was
pounded out, and so easy, too. Three
times three for the waterworks! The
fire was set out by two little boys, sons
of B. McTaggert and O. L. Baker, who
thought a fire in the building woidd be
much nicer than one in the street,
A Narrow Ettcapc.
Bartholomew Gurst's team ran off
with him Monday evening, getting up
quite a speedy gait before they struck
the telephone post east of the Congre
gational church, where they were
brought up standing, the Bingletrees
breaking in two, and Mr. Gurst being
hauled bodily out of the wagon, by the
lines, striking the ground flat on his
back. He was restored to consciousness
in a few moments by Dr. Schug, who
said the man was not seriously injured,
only "shaken up."
Buy your supplies of home dealers,
men who are interested in the welfare of
your town and who spend the money
they make with the people of whom they
get it. We venture to Bay, for instance,
that farm implements, hardware, dry
goods, clothing, boots and shoes and
even groceries can be bought, retail or
wholesale, just as cheap all things con
sidered, of your honest home dealer as
of a house in Omaha, Lincoln, Chicago
or St, Louis. We have no doubt this is
true of all other businesses, and we
know it is true of printing.
R. B. Kummer gave the Journal
a very pleasant business call Saturday.
He reports affairs on the south aide as
very prosperous, and says that word got
abroad someway that the Platte bridge
was ready for crossing Thursday, and
there must have been a hundred and
eighty teams turned back that day it
was like a celebration a big procession.
Now that the bridge is done, it is to be
hoped that the procession will come and
keep coming.
The Journal job department is pre
pared to furnish, on short notice, all

heads, note heads, bill heads, statements,
circulars, envelopes, cards, dodgers, pos

pamphlets; catalogues; sale bills, etc.
Satisfaction guaranteed. Orders by
mail promptly attended to. Address,

Ralph Turner fell out of n hay loft
Thursday evening, a post-auger follow
ing, striking him on tho top of the head
cutting the flesh to the skull and making
a gash about two inches in length. Dr.
Martyn was called in, and in ten minutes
Ralph had his wound all fixed up in
good shape. It was a very close call,
and Ralph will probably be more care
ful the next time he chases chickens.
It will be well enough for travelers
over the Platte bridge to remember not
to trot their teams, or undertake to
drive more than eight or ten head of
cattle at a time. A herd is apt sometimes
to' turn back on itself on a bridge and
when there are many in the herd, it
makes it pretty trying to the span on
which they bunch together. A word to
the wise is sufficient

The Tale of a Fish.
When a man doth wish to angle,
A hook like this he loves to dangle:
J
He has line so good and strong,
And catches a fish about so long:
Before he gets home the fish doth grow(?)
And he tells his friends that it stretched
out so:
But his friends who have a-fishing been,
Know that the man has lied like sin,
And they simply sit and smile and grin.
