The 'Democrat's abuse of such men
as Jonas Welch, Henry" Bickert and
Jacob Tschudin, members of the county
board of supervisors, because their hon
est and disinterested action did not give
the printing contracts to D. F. Davis,
will not hurt these gentlemen in the
estimation of the good people of the
county, who know them well and ap
preciate their worth.
As a fair-minded business mas,
competent to manage his own affairs
and take a share in looking after public
matters, Jonas Welch will very easily
bear favorable comparison with D. Frank
Davis. Jonas is known all over this
section of country as a capable, upright
man who attends strictly and well to
whatever business he may have in hand,
and that he has done so in this case, is
doubtless what hurts Davis.

The name of the man mentioned in

corn-stalk and was discharged, hitting
him in the foot Dr. Schug was imme
diately telegraphed for, and on examina
tion, found that he would have to lose
two of his toes. The amputation was
performed and Johnson thinks himself
lucky to come out as well as he did.
At the annual town meeting in Co

Platte river bridge, was approved and
the clerk ordered to issue a warrant in

The Columbus Democrat has tried
hard to say mean things about the re
publicans of Platte county, and also con
cerning The Journal, but we consider
the following four lines 'about the low
est (although probably not so meant), of
the whole list we mean in classifying
the Argus as a republican paper: "The
Humphrey Republican is no more. This
leaves the Columbus Journal and
Platte Center Argus the sole exponents
of republicanism in Platte county." This
is certainly the "most unkindest cut of
all."
Martin Reagan, stopping at the
Foote House Friday night, had occasion
to get up. He walked out over a porch
without railing, 'fell to the ground and
broke a leg. He was taken to the hos

had been, the previous evening, under
the influence of liquor. He says he
thought he was at home and supposed
that he was stepping outside his own
door, instead of whichwhe stepped off a
porch about eight feet high. It is a
wonder his neck was not broken, in
stead of his leg.

It will pay any person who is willing

down off his load of hay and raises over
obstacles without additional power. Mr.
Gerrard is a man of good inventive

parts Monday and secured a quantity of
sorghum seed. He will establish a mo
lasses factory in the eastern part of the
city this summer, where he will be pre
pared to manufacture sorghum for all
who desire it.
C. H. Sheldon of your city passed this
way again last Friday with more steers
for his feed lots. It seems to me that
Mr. S. does not propose to confine him
self. to his easy chair, at the head of the
Commercial bank, when ronnding up a
bunch of fat steers affords such good
exercise.
