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.

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

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

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

has extended the time to March next.
The Journal hopes ere that time to

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.
While I intend to support the remainder
of the candidates on the democratic
ticket, I will not give my vote to a man

In a business letter to the Journal
from Helela, under date of October 2d,
Ed. Goetzinger, formerly of this city,
has this to say of that locality: I am well
pleased with this country and can't
give it too much praise. Plenty of work
at high wages. I find that mining hore
is yet in its infancy. When capitalists
get done with the real estate boom, then
mining will bo carried on moro than
ever.
Talk about scarcity of houses. I board
ed three months before being able to get
a decent house, then had to pay 830 for
four rooms, and three months in ad
vance, and buy my predecessor off, in
order to get possession. Climate is splen
did. Helena is built on the east side or
foot of Mt. Helena which rises np 1400
feet. At about 4:30 p. in. tho sun sets
behind Mt. Helena and is overshadowed
by the mountain, but about two miles
from us the sun shines as bright as over.
I hereby give you somo idea of tho
temperature for the month of Septem
ber. Mean temperature for month 56'.
Departure of mean temperature from the
normal for 15 yean 1 8'. Highest

greatest daily range of temperature 40a

That Monroe Township Matter.
En. Journal: In giving you an ac
count of our primary, no injustice was
intended, and our statement was cor
rect. But it appears that an explana
tion is necessary in regard to E. B. Hall.
A motion had been made and second
ed to nominate John E. Dack by accla
mation for the office of town treasurer.
E. B. 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.

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-
