The 'meeting of the Platte County
Teachers' Association Saturday at Platte
Center, was very interesting, so say those
who attended. The next meeting will be
in Humphrey, Feb. 9th, the second Sat
urday. Geo. Hagerman, the man who set
fire to John Craig's barn near Schuyler
was captured Saturday at Elkhorn and
is now lodged in jail at Schuyler. When
first captured it was feared he would be
lynched.
"Ingomar's article in today's Jour
nal will be read with much interest by
our readers, young and old. The people
of this day can scarcely appreciate, even
in imagination, the hardships of those
early days in Nebraska.
"Buffalo Bill" told a Denver report

A man traveling in the interest of a
book publishing house is making rounds
of the country getting the school
boards to sign a paper endorsing the
books he sells. It is best for people not
to sign any paper of the kind until they
have read it, and know what they are
signing.
Officer Taylor took two boys, aged
12 years, off the U. P. train last Wednes
day noon thinking they were probably
run-aways, but not receiving any word
to hold them, he gave them their dinner
and let them go. They said they were
going to Bock Springs, and hailed from
Omaha.
The railroad companies paid their
personal property taxes in Platte county
to County Treasurer Becher, Jan. 2, as
follows: Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley By. Co., $5,930.13; Union Pacific
By. Co., $9,471.50; Omaha & Republican
Valley Co., $7,937.19, making a total of
$23,m82.
Two empty freight cars were thrown
from the track Monday evening in the
U. P. switch yard, near the coal chute.
It seems that one of the rails became
loose, causing the rear car to run off the
track dragging the next with it For
tunately no one was hurt, and the dam
age to the cars is not large.
Now is the time (any day) to sub
scribe for the Journal, a local weekly
paper and the Nebraska Family Journal,
a state weekly paper, containing every
week thirty-two columns of choice read

paid in advance. We are receiving num
bers of new subscribers still there is
room for more. tf
The annual meeting of the Nebraska
Live Stock Shippers' Association met at
South Omaha, Jan. 9. There was a good
attendance, and the usual interesting
discussions took place. J. A. Kehoe, of
Platte Center was reelected president,
and John Wiggins, of this place, secre
tary. The reports of the officers show
the Association in a flourishing condition.
We have heard considerable com
plaint in regard to the saloons sweeping
water out on the sidewalk in front of
their places of business Sunday morn
ings. When it freezes it makes travel
ing both disagreeable and dangerous in
the locality. It would not be so bad if
all the saloons would do as some of them
do, distribute ashes or saw-dust on the
ice.
The ground was covered with snow
Monday morning the first of the season
to amount to anything. It seems
strange to see the mantle covering hous
es and enveloping trees. A year ago
Saturday was the famous blizzard to be
remembered for years, followed by se
verely cold weather. We could not
reasonably expect better weather than
we have been enjoying all season.
We are all interested in what our
acquaintances think of new countries in
which they are sojourning. The readers
of the Journal will find in their paper
today a letter from A. J. Arnold, one of
our old citizens now in California. AL
is always interesting in what he has to
say, whether you agree with him in
opinion or not We would like to hear
from him often his impressions of mat
ters there.
A public, pay meeting of the Lyce
um will be held next Friday evening at
Fitzpatrick's hall, admission 25c. The
design of this public meeting is to raise
money to pay for the rent of the halL
which is $10 a month. Everybody in
terested in the welfare of the young
people is entitled to attend their meet
ings every Friday evening free, and now
let there be an extra good turnout to the
entertainment next Friday. It will be
worth twice what they ask, as an enter
tainment and the Lyceum is one of the
best institutions ever organized in the
city.

A Bold Burglary.
The dry goods store of Galley Bros,
was entered Tuesday night and robbed
of about $250 worth of jewelry and $75
worth of mufflers, silk handkerchiefs,
etc. The burglars effected an entrance
by cutting a hole in the brick wall in
the rear end of the store, large enough
for a man to crawl through. It is sup
posed that they first commenced opera
tions by raising one of the windows
about eight inches and trying to force
open the heavy inside shutter, as marks
upon it show that it had been tampered
with. Failing in this they next bored a
hole in the door, with the evident in
tention of removing a panel and enter
ing the store in that way. The door in
side is covered with sheet iron, so their
efforts in that direction were of no avail
They were successful, however, in their
next venture, that of removing the brick.
The tools which they used were proba
bly the ones stolen from Louis Schrei
ber's blacksmith shop Tuesday night
As soon as the burglary was discover
ed Wednesday morning, the police be
gan to investigate the matter and Mr.
Galley issued postal cards giving a de
scription of the stolen goods, which he
sent to all points in the state, on the
first mail. Several suspicious characters
were seen in town Tuesday and on the
evening of the robbery a man called at
several of the stores, including Galley
Bros.', inquiring the price of articles,
and it' was probably one of these who
committed the theft It was certainly
the work of an expert, as no amateur
could have done the work without mak
ing more or less noise. It is quite a
heavy loss to Messrs. Galley Bros., and
it is hoped the guilty parties may be
brought to justice and the stolen prop
erty recovered. Theburglarshavenotyet
been captured. A man was arrested in
Omaha on suspicion, having in his pos
session quite a large amount of jewelry,
but as it was of a different kind than
that stolen from Galley Bros., the man
was released.
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
Solomon's Opera House was filled at
an early hour Tuesday night to witness
the first presentation in this city by the
Edwin Clifford Dramatic Co., of that
wierd, blood-curdling drama, "The
strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
Dramatization is very different from
Bichard Mansfield, and in many respects
an improvement Edwin Clifford, in the
dual role of the good Dr. Jekyll and the
monster Mr. Hyde, carried the house
with him and received much merited ap
plause. The changes made by the artist
were startling in the extreme one mo
ment the benevolent doctor, the next
instant a fiend that would shame
Dante's Infirno, had usurped his place,
and with harsh, gatteral voice, protrud
ing fangs, dishevelled hair and leering
look froze the auditor. There is no de
nying the tact that this is a horrible
spectacle but still the public will crowd
to see it The comedy element is strong
and brought down the house, showing
that the drama is relieved by a back
ground of humor. We have got the
craze and for the next few days will be
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde1 on the brain.

An Entkasiastic Meeting.
The Farmers' Protective Association
met at Fitzpatrick's hall Friday after
noon to further consider the matter of
building the elevator. The attendance
was larger than any previous meeting
and much interest manifested by all.
After adopting the new constitution and
by-laws, several members made remarks
encouraging the project The senti
ment of those present was expressed by
a rising vote, in which nearly all were in
favor of building the elevator. A com
mittee consisting of Messrs. Butler,
Clark and Wagner was appointed to as
certain cost of building, select suitable
location, etc., and report at a public
meeting to be held at the Court House
next Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock,

taken in the matter. A large attendance
is desired.
The Platte Bridge Location.
The city council met Saturday
evening in conjunction with the com
mittee appointed by the Board of Trade

cided to build the new bridge at .or near
the old location. Following is the vote

Prof. Wilson came home and spent

The good weather still continues.
No ice to be stored away for a cool

The folks across the Platte are agitat
ing for a new bridge at this place.
In former days a good- crop of the
field was a blessing. This year's enor
mous crop of corn causes lots of trouble,
and little wealth.
The farmers of this neighborhood are
at present busily engaged in hauling
fertilizer from the sheep yards of the
Warren Live Stock Co. at this place.
Parties who want to see how wild
horses are caught with a lasso at a dis
tance of 50 feet, need no more to go out
west They can see that right here in
Duncan every day; it is an amusement
as interesting as a bull fight in Spain.

Fred Stenger returned home Wednes
day from his California trip, better
pleased than ever with his farm and
stock. Bight.
The absence of wild geese is noted this
winter, as it is something unusual to not
see large numbers of them at this time,
the inland lakes and streams are all
dry; there is no snow for them to wade
in; the splendid fall and winter gavejthe
farmer good opportunity to secure from
the field the last ear ot corn and he im
proved the opportunity too. While
some are plowing, others are waiting for
rain or snow, thinking the ground would
be in better condition. I think it would
be better to wait till spring, and give the
soil a rest
Darling, with his new shelter, was
taking the cobs out of a large pile of
corn, Saturday, for Tom Johnson.
Ottis Clark shot three geese that pass
ed this way, probably hunting for water.
Water was pumped by hand Sunday
and Monday for large herds. Cause

Ed. Joubwal. As I promised you a
few items from the southwest corner of
of the United States, I will state that
the rains have been early and ample.
uraw is six vo eigni. lncnes mgn ana a
saw young figs as large as eggs, on trees
that had not shed their foliage yet Or
anges and lemons are in profusion from
those yet in bloom to those ready for
market Had a little frost the last three
nights but it did no damage to the most
tender flower or shrub. Times are yet
very quiet although there is good de
mand tor acre property which is chang
ing hands every day. E. M. Thinnsy
has bought a fine ten acre ranch. Has
his plowing almost done and expects to
move into his house next week. The
Land Company offer to anyone who will
cultivate twenty acres of their land for
five years in trees, (the company to fur
nish trees for one half the land) to deed
ten acres to such party. This is considered
by one and all as a grand opportunity
to get a home in this everlasting spring
elimete. The smelter was bought by an
expert miner a day or two since, and is
to be enlarged, as the present plant can
not begin to dispose of the gold and sil
ver that is arriving. Iron is being un
loaded in southern San Diego for the
railroad being built out to the Needles
in Arizona and it is stated that in a few
days or weeks at most the railroad for
Fort Retna and the railroad for Lower
California will be pushed to completion.
If work opens up on the last two roads
it means great prosperity to National
City and I will say to parties who have a
few dollars to invest that there is just
now a better show here for investment
than there will ever be again, as some
have bought more than they can pay for
and must sacrifice a part to raise funds
to make payments on the balance of
their property. There is very little
building going on here or in San Diego,
at present while there seems to be a
great deal of land being plowed and
some houses being built on the farms or
ranches, which means five or ten acres to
the farm, and if properly worked is all
any family need to get a competency
from. On the day of the eclipse the
tide was over eight feet high here. Or
dinarily, five feet is a high tide for this
coast The bay is full of small sharks,
tarpoise and other fish. We catch them
from the wharf.
The Columbus people here are well
and say they are not sorry they gave up
their homes in the land of the snow for
homes here notwithstanding the dull
times here. I met Sam'l C. 8mith, Capt
Wadsworth, Capt Frazier and others of
Carlscad; they are happy and of one
thing they can justly boast as lovely
homes as can be found, and a climate
that cannot be surpassed on earth.
