" The "first Platte county .prairie fire.,
threatening destruction, this fall, was in
Grand' Prairie last week. No special
damage done, but it will be well enough
for every body to keep, on the lookout -arid
also make fire-guards.
We print the statement this week
or 'the. First National bank of this city.
It is one of the best reports they have
ever made- at this time of year, and
sliows.in what high regard, this bank is
held by the' business public
L. W. Weaver says that there is con-.
siderable demand for "good houses' to
rent.' There are a number of traveling
men who would make this their home if
they conld get, at reasonable rent, good
dwelling-houses convenient to depot.
'-The verdict of the jury in the trial
of John McMahon of this city,- (who,
while acting as watchman for the B. &

They were out ten minutes after close of
argument.
Ten companies of the Second U. S.
infantry, 400 lhen, stopped here Friday
on their way to winter quarters at
Omaha; They are the same com
panies that went to Kearney several

of Gen, Frank. Wheaton.
The .first curbstone ever laid in the
city, so far as we know, was put in place
last week by Jacob Glur and his work
nen, at the new Commercial bank build
ing. The cement walk to be laid is to
be four inches thick on a foundation of
brick and cinders packed.
Mr. Beno, the prisoner in jail, was
allowed the freedom of the prison Mon
day (outside the cage), and began to dig
his way out, removing bricks under an
east window. His work was noticed
before the last line .of brick was broken,
and he was placed where he can dig no
more brick for the present.

Schupbach, Jaeggi, Morse, Davis, Dowty,

accident at the U. P. crossing of the
main track on North street. A train
was divided there and Boroviak. was
driving through with his team and wag
on when the -cars backed up squeezing
the hind end of the wagon. Neither
man nor horses were hurt.
Twenty-two. tons of iron for the
Loup bridge was shipped from Cleveland,-
Ohio, Oct. 3d, and ought to be
hero any day now, as former invoices,
were only six days on the road. After
the iron is all here, it will Jtake compara
tively but a short time to complete, the
bridge. The public will le glad when
work is done.
Mr. Fitzpatrick had a letter from a
friend at Findlay, Ohio, under date of
Sept. 30th stating that they were having
snow there, and that there is considera
ble excitement among citizens over the
declarations of a scientist that a half
mile under Findlay the heat is 3000s
and that the crust of the earth is being
burned away, and that before long will
either drop down or be blowed up.
Tho meeting at the Opera House
Thursday evening, addressed by Att'y
Gen'l Leese and. Hon. J. L. Caldwell of
Lincoln was a decided success. Mr.
Leese, besides reviewing the tariff ques
tion, stated in very decided terms, the
course he intended pursuing on the
railroad question. Mr. Caldwell's speech
was- a finished oration throughout, and
greatly delighted the republicans' pres
ent. At the meeting of the representa
tives composed of the commissioned
officers of the divisions of the Uniform
Bank K. of .P. at Fremont Thursday,
W. B. Dale of this city presided and "was
afterwards elected Major of the Fourth

took possession of the Backus house
hold and reigned with a -high hand.
The teachers had provided themselves
with a full supply of the good things of
the earth, and after eating,- talking,
laughing, etc, adjourned with the full
intention of taking another teacher by
surprise in the near future. A fine of $1
was levied on the one that dared talk
about school affairs.
Niels Olson received the nomina
tion for float representative for 'Platte'
and Nance counties Tuesday at the dis
trict convention held 'at Genoa. Mr.
Olson is one of the honest representa
tive fanners of old Platte.. He has serv
ed'his township as supervisor ever since
township organization was 'established
in the county, and he is one of the best
and honest workers of the board. . He
is well informed as to the needs, of the
district, and not only has the ability,
but will have the inclination and dispo
sition to work for the interests .of the
people. Nance county, like Platte is
under the township system of self-government,
and has a practical realization
of the defects of the township law.
Niels Olson, perhaps more than any
other man in the district, understands
thoroughly its every provisions and' de
ficiencies, and can be a power in the
legislature to remedy and correct its ills.
He is a frank, honest man, and the peo
ple -frill know where to find him on all
questions that affect their interests.
