Boettcher & Kersenbrock are having a great run on stoves. Besides being clever men to deal with they are not slow in letting the public know what they handle by the use of printers ink. There is a law against fast riding which should be enforced, especially in the case of a certain young man, who rode promisculously into a crowd Sunday last, thereby endangering a great many Uvea It seemed proper that "Kildaires" rejoinder should bo printed this week, as his former communication led to com ment. The Journal has no reason for anything but tho kindest of feelings for all concerned. The County Treasurer is running a continued story in the Journal, thatis, he is telling the same thing over throe times. Like the collection of stories in Webster's dictionary they are good enough, but very short. About twenty-five of the personal friends of Mary A.

While "Boss" Kavanaugh will turn every stone he can towards his own election, it is well for him, if he can, to disarm an adversary by assumed friend linesa Dont be. deceived. Work for yourself, work for your whole ticket, and let the "Boss" with all his satraps have such an overthrow-as will clear -.the county for a decade to come. Aa Organ Contest ia Hoarse. The traveling salesmen for the Wes tern Cottage Organ on one side, and the Sterling, and 8tory & Clark on the other, met at the residence of A. Guiles in Monroe twp. one day last week in contest. A medium Western Cottage organ was first pitted against a Sterling, which was re-enforced by a Story & Clark. Mr. Guiles, the proposed purchaser, and the agent for the Sterling, selected Mra B. E. Wiley as the expert to judge between the instruments, the selection being approved by the agent for the Western Cottage. Mr. Guiles said he would buy whichever organ Mra Wiley should determine to be the best, if it was worth $20 more than the other. The instruments wero very thoroughly tes ted by Mra Wiley who pronounced the Western Cottage Organ much superior to the others and gave her reasons there for. The Western Cottage challenges com parison with any other organ in a fair contest. A. & M. Turner, Columbus, Neb., Agents for the Western Cottage. G. W. Kibler, traveling salesman. 1 An almost fatal accident occurred to J. A. Ernst of the firm of Ernst &Schwarz Monday. At a little after 1 p. m. he stopped, as he supposed, on the elevator, but instead of stepping upon the eleva tor, he landed in the cellar, falling ten feet, half way down striking his body on a railing, turning and striking below on his -head. He remained there uncon scious until about 4 o'clock, whon, par tially recovering, he made his way out of the cellar by the east door, up the outside stairs, into a bed-room up-stairs in his business building, where he was found at 6 o'clock, and removed to his residence. He was found bruised about the head, but no bones broken; seriously injured below the lungs, but was resting easier yesterday. Thomas Suckley, a full blood Aric karee Indian of the Genoa industrial school, has developed artistic talent that is liable to bring him fame and fortune. From a chromo copy he painted a scene on the Niobrara, using common house paints and a piece of muslin, that would be considered an ornament to any hum ble home, even without the knowledge that it was painted by an Indian boy who never took a lesson in drawing or painting in his life. Tnomas certainly, exhibits great natural skill, and ho should be given an opportunity to 'de velop his talents in that line. Genoa Leader. Arnold Oehlrich, who left here last summer on a visit to his native country, Holstein, and who experienced a very rough sea voyage during which he was injured, writes to his brother Herman of this city that his case is worse than at first supposed and that he will not be able to return this fall as expected, and has extended the time to March next. The Journal hopes ere that time to chronicle his complete recovery. Reasons why you should see Hen rich before borrowing money: 1st. Because he always makes the lowest possible rates of interest, 2d.

Jouknal.1 What is True Democracy? Many readers of the Journal will doubtless be surprised at the heading of this article, but as ono who is and has been for the past ten years an ardent advocate of simon-pure democracy. Yet can't understand why the democratic convention placed before its supporters such a man as Stephen Waggoner for the important office of county superin tendent of public instruction. From what I have seen and know of him I would pronounce him a "mug wump" and anything but a loyal demo crat largely overestimating his ability as a sound, practical teacher. First as a "mugwump" he is well known in his own precinct, for not later than last spring he was elected (by one vote) supervisor of Shell Creek town ship on gennine mugwump principles,de feating as true a democrat as ever trod Nebraska sod. Second, as a democrat he voted and worked against the pres ent superintendent in every conceivable way to throw barriers and retard, rather than assist his administration. Third, as for ability, I know he has a diploma from a business college some where in Illinois, but I am aware they may be obtained by the same process that he obtained his much boast ed of first-grade certificate, which I know he received, by receiving the questions a few days prior to his examination and in the meantime preparing the answers. This same certificate is the one used as argument against the rest of the can didates in the Argus of the 23d ult.

Hall, being 'Secretary, raised his hand to stop proceedings; he then went to the back part of the house, and re quested Lafayette Anderson to place his name before the primary as a candidate for town treasurer, which he did, the mo tion being seconded by R. E. Wiley. We then proceeded to ballot for treasurer, E. B. Hall receiving seven votes and John E. Dack twenty-six. The one vote he received for town clerk we do not claim that he cast him self, but Buppose that it was given as a complimentary vote. Kildaire. Oct 10, W. Million of Acres open .to Settlement. The land department at Washington has given notice that millions of acres of railroad indemnity lands will be opened to settlement by homesteaders and pre emptors within a few months. These lands are among the best ever offered west of the Mississippi river and in the Gulf states. Such an opportunity for the young people of this nation for ac quiring real estate for the mere taking will never occur again, as the public lands by another year will bo practical ly exhausted. Thereafter the struggle for homes and land will resemble Eu rope. All who are about to start for the west or to locate in southern rail road lands will find Copp's Settler's Guide of special service published by Henry N. Copp.Washington, D. C; price, 25 cents. It tells all about the homestead, pre emption, timber culture, and other land laws; how to decipher surveyed town ship, section, and quarter-section cor ners; how long residence most be con tinued; what settlement and improve ments most be shown; how and on what grounds contests against abandoned and illegal entries can be commenced; location of government land offices and name of land officers, and it will doubt less save many settlers from the loss of their land and improvements, as design- KERSENBROCK, LEOPOLD JJEQQI.
