It has come to my knowledge that
certain persons are reporting that I
started the report that "the Minneapolis
Harvester Works are busted." I want
to say right here, that these men have
manufactured this lie out of whole cloth;
perhaps a guilty conscience has prompt
ed them to do so. I do not have to do
so, as every intelligent farmer can see
the advantage the Empire has over all
other Binders. H. Lubker. 12-2t

full name was H. E. Osgood.
The statement of the First National
bank of this city appears in the adver
tising columns of today's Journal.
When it is remembered that these
statements are made pursuant to a call
of a government official, and not at cer
tain stated intervals, it will be seen that
they will, one time with another, fitly
show the actual condition of things.
This statement, although made during
a dull portion of the year, makes a good
showing for the First National.
W. C. Sutton sends us from St Ed
ward a remittance for the Joubxax that

ago when he was doing business in Co
lumbus. Among his first words to the
then new publisher was, "here are two

and tear, they are as good today as then,
and have been in use every day. They
are silent reminders of the enduring
friendship of a good man.

tern excepting that the drop of the corn

failed to find relief, concluded to try the

Chicago she informs her friends in Cedar

success. She is now supposed to be out
of danger. Although old she will prob
ably add many comfortable years to her
life. This will be glad news to her large

The Live Stock Shipper' AtMociation
Held their meeting July 11th, at South
Omaha, President J. A. Kehoe, Secretary
John Wiggins and all other officers be
ing present.
A proffer of one and one-third fare to
those attending the meetings of the as
sociation, coming on the U. P. road was
respectfully declined; it seemed to be
the feeling of the members that they
were entitled to free transportation and
would be very much pleased if the rail
roads would so view it.
The following resolutions were pre
sented by J. W. Stocker and unani
mously adopted:
Whebeas, there are certain commis
sion firms at these yards who are buying
stock at different stations in the coun
try through men employed by them that
have neither money nor local credit, in
competition with regular business, now
be it
Resolved, by this association that we
discontinue this practice and will with
hold shipment from such firms and dis
courage other shippers from patronizing
them, and
Resolved, further, that at our next
meeting we consider the questions of
formation of a commission house for
sale of stock and the formation of a hog
rendering company.
The Bocretary was requested to notify
each member that at the next meeting
the commission-house and rendering
company question would be considered.
On motion of D. Anderson, the presi
dent and secretary wore instructed to
notify the L. S. E. committee who ap
point tho inspectors and have the dock
age under their control at tho South
Omaha yards, that there is a general
complaint on the part of shippers on ac
count of excessive dockage and demand
that they correct the abuse.
Other routine business was transacted
and an adjournment was had to the
second Wednesday in October '88.
J. H. Meyer, formerly of this county,
writes us from Bartlett, Wheeler county,
to say that the Fourth was duly cele
brated there by calithumpians, old sol
diers of the Union and citizens generally.
Speeches were delivered praising the
heroic deeds of the forefathers and ex
ulting over the wonderful strides made
by their descendants in developing the
natural resources of the country.
Bartlett has improved considerably this
summer, having several new buildings
inoluding a fine court house erected by
Mr. Boehneof North Loup. Small grain
and corn have been partly damaged by
hard winds. The corn crop is late, but
is now doing well.
We were shown a ripe tomato yes
terday which was grown in a garden in
this city. This is early in the summer
for tomatoes, but by a little care, all
who have a small plot of ground, can
have them. These plants were started
from well-Belected seed, in quart fruit
cans, last January, a single plant only
being allowed in a can. After all dan
ger of frost is past, the plants, about
ready to bloom, can be slipped from the
cans without disturbing the roots, and
several weeks of time gained in the
growth of the plants. Six or eight plants
will produce an abundance of fruit for
an ordinary family.
The Duncan school closed its sum
mer term last Friday. This school, un
der the control of Miss Lettie Jones as

ing the country course of study. Miss
Jones has made every effort to keep her
pupils in their proper classes and has
succeeded well. One pupil completed
the course of study with the close of the
term. Having passed the required ex
amination, Supt Cramer visited the
school on the last day and in a few ap
propriate remarks delivered the' diploma
as evidence of the fact. We hope soon
to see all the schools of Platte county
following the regular plan of work.
