The doctors say a bmrty lsngh is mora da
airabla for mental Ufa than any exercise of the
reasoning faculties; and if a. joyous smile adds
an hour to one's life, a heartfelt laugh should
add a day. To witness John Thompson, the
comedian, in his hilarious morceau entitled
"Around the World," ought surely to prolong
one's life a year. His wit, humor and comicali
ties hare the same effect upon a melancholy per
son than fire does in a damp house, dispersing
chills and drying molds and "H"g all hopeful
and cheerfuL We don't remember of the
Thompson type, so grotesque, so ridiculous, and
yet so finished. In "Around the World" there is
an absence of murder, robbery, abduction. Til
liana or villainy; no love-making or sickly emo
tional scene. It is pore, wholesome, unadul
terated fun; it is Just the kind of an entertain
ment a man can take bis family to and enjoy.
Bliss Dotie Nagle is an accomplished actress, and

skill is astonishing, t.ilrom Mollie McOormly,

We reprint elsewhere in today's
Jnurnal a recipe 'for the destruction
of prairie dogs. It speaks for itself.
In places, here and there, throughout
the west, farmers have given the job of
ridding their farms of these pests to men
at so much a head, and one man we
know of is under contract to rid a sec
tion of land of them for $125; the con
tractor has been several months work
ing at the job, and at last accounts had
shot a thousand dogs, and supposed he
was about half through with his under
taking. Using this recipe, with the ma
terial fresh and strong, the pests would
doubtless soon be got rid of.
It seems generally conceded since
tho meeting of the central committee
that Kavanaugh is now ahead for treas
urer among the democracy. There are
combinations in sight, however, that may
change the preconceived order of events.
The attack of the Democrat upon Ed.
Newman, supposed by some to be in the
interest of D. Frank Davis of the Dem
ocrat as a candidate for Supt of Schools,
is by others attributed to the sugges
tion of Kavanaugh, who is presumed to
prefer Braun as a candidate for that
position, thinking thus to conciliate the
German element.
The meeting of the county Dem
ocratic central committee at Platte Cen
ter Saturday last was not the most har
monious political pow-wow that ever
assembled. It seems that the appor
tionment for delegates was left to be
done by the chairman, Chas. Carrig and
the sec'y, Harry Newman, under instruc
tions from the committee. It is under
stood that there was an attempt to de
crease representation from Grand
Prairio and Crestou, but that it did not
succeed. The County Convention is to
be held Sept. 28th.
Those who have been selling cream
to Stevenson Bros, this summer have
found that it paid them well. Now that
the grass is failing somewhat, those who
expect their monthly receipts to keep
up, should see that the milch cows are

green corn cut up with the stalks, or
some such feed that will keep the cows
in good condition and keep up the flow
of milk. It will pay.

Mr. Wolfenberger, the prohibition
lecturer, made a speech at'the Congre
gational church at O'Kay in this county,
some three or four weeks ago, in which,
we are credibly informed, he statedthat
those who joined them there would not
be required to be strictly temperate men
(of course they preferred they would
be), but they did insist that they vote
the prohibition ticket.
The Democrat's remarks on the
action of Judge Post and also on the
telegrams of H. J. Hudson to the Omaha
Bee, in the Spencer habeas corpus cose,
are looked upon as uncalled for and un
just Both these men have lived long
enough in this community to need no
defenee from any one, to an attack charg
ing them with injustice to a defenceless
woman.
It is beginning to seem that Kav
anaugh has been doing a great deal of
work for the nomination for treasurer,
but many democrats are outspoken
against "him for that office, who would
yet favor him for that of sheriff. The
democratic convention promises to be
one of the most interesting circuses of
the season.
John Busselman returned from Co
lumbus lost Thursday, having recovered
from his late sickness. He is still very
weak and it will be some little time be
fore he can safely resume work in his
shop. He recommends the hospital very
highly and says he received the best of
treatment while there. Lindsay Senti
nel. Miss Nellie North met with an ac
cident the first of the week that might
readily have been a great deal more
serious than it is. In alighting from a
road cart her dress caught and she fell,
striking on her left wrist, breaking a
bone of the arm above the wrist. The
wound ia healing very nicely.
Last Saturday afternoon during the
rain storm lightning struck the spire of
the Methodist church, and also the
dwelling houses of J. P. Becker and C.
J. Garlow. No special damage at the
dwelling houses, but the injury to the
church is estimated at $150 to $200.
A trip through the northern part of
the county shows a fine condition of the
crops. Wheat in some instances runs to
33 bushels an acre. Corn is very fine,
and the late rain will help it materially.
Considering the dry summer the out
come is remarkable.
All but three townships were rep
resented at the democratic, central com

Henry Lusche has a new threshing
machine with horse power, and is busy
separating the grain from the chaff.
Even well organized school districts

entire satisfaction, and 44 is no excep

evening, the pastures that were nearly
bar, are looking better, as is also buck
wheat and turnips.

In this department the people talk, and not
the editor. Lach writer must hold himself ready
to defend his principles and las statements of
facts. "In tho multitude of counsel there in
wisdom." Ed. Jocbxal.1
Ed. Journal: I was surprised to see
in the Democrat of the 11th instant how
indignant D. Frank Davis folt when
questioned on his political creed and the
turning of his political coat. He says
his democracy is and always has been
simon pure. Well, as to tho purity of
his politics, I have my doubts, and will
charge him up in my book of facts for
did not he, D. Frank Davis stand before
a Republican convention held in Sehuy
ler, Colfax county, on the 17th of Octo
ber, 1883, and ask that body to nominato
him for the office of County Superinten
dent? I will ask the readers of the
Journal was this act of D. Frank Davis
consistent with simon puro Democracy.
I will further state. Was George Erb
not a delegate at the aforesaid conven
tion and when Davis's name came up for
a nomination he was objected to on tho
grounds of his not being old enough to
entitle him to vote? There and then
did not George Erb go and inform Davis
of these alleged facts and Davis replied
"go back and tell thorn they are damned
liars, I was a voter one month ago?"
Still, Davis would have tho readers of
the Journal and in particular, tho
readers of the Democrat, believe ho was
not a voter until the election of '81.
Now, how does this statement of Davis
tally with that of George Erb, who was
a delegate to the convention? Whom
shall we believe, Davis or Erb? Let
the people determine, for Georgo Erb
states that Davis's father was then and
is now a straight Republican, so the
readers of the Democrat can see at a
glance the cause of Davis wearing a re
versible coat, Bimply because ho could
not get the nomination from the Re
publican party for County Superinten
dent of Colfax county, and now the
question is when you come to measure
his politics, is he a Democrat, is he a
Republican, or is ho a genuine mug
wump. As a Republican, he's a cast-off;
as a Democrat, the party he claims to be
long to, they can't place explicit con
fidence in him, that is, to his simon pure
part of it, but to simmer this thing down
fine I suppose all political party ships
have less or more barnacles attached to
them, and in this case tho Democrats
have a good one in Davis. But, in my
estimation of character let mo tell the
readers of tho Journal that thoy are
well rid of such timber, as a Republican
wolf in Colfax don't make a good Dem
ocratic sheep in Platte, the wool is too
thin. Farmer.
Republican Ontral Committee.
At the suggestion of sever.il members
of the committee (in the absence of the
chairman), the Journal has been re
quested to call the Central Committee
together, to meet at the Journal office
Wednesday, Aug. 24, 1887, at 2 pi m.
