battery, the Telegram, (against" Mr.
Cramer), "and yon most look out for

The Lindsay Times, democratic, has
this to say of one of the ticket that has
gained such great favor with the people:
"Dr. Win. Hart, the republican nom
inee for coroner, of Humphrey,-is a man
whom we hold in the highest esteem,
and any of our democratic friends who
can give him a vote on the 5th of next
month, will do us a great favor. At the
same time Dr. Hart is more centrally
located than is the democratic nominee,
and should he be elected, can be reached
from any part of the county on very
short notice."
Rickner & Darling's splendid thirty
acres to corn on last year's sod was
plowed deep this spring, and the seed put
in the last days of Aprd, with a planter.
We know of several fields of fine corn on
last year's sod, and we would like to
hear from them after husking. It used
to be thought that such land was not
good for raising corn. We think the
use of the disc harrow has a good deal
to do with the proper preparation of the
ground; the first crop also helps to pre
pare the way.
It is a caution" to hear the boys at
their play, imitating the song and antics
of the Italian with his bear a boy-bear
taking the part of Bruin and very clev
erly personating that individual As
you see the improvised bear rolling over
in the deep dust of the street you are
very apt to imagine if that boy's motlnr
had him underhand just at that mon.ent,
his4 enjoyment would be of short dura
tion, at least until after tbe dust was
whipped out of his pants. It is fnn, all
the same, and the mother would have to
smile between blows, at the clever ex
actness of the realistic actors.
As The Journal was being printed
Tuesday evening of last week, the fire
men were called out to put ont a fire
that was consuming John Eusden's and
J. H. Wiirdeman's barns in the first
ward. As soon as the fire laddies
reached the place and attached their
hose to the hydrants, the fire began to
go down, and it maa a great pleasure to
see how well the waterworks answered
their purpose. Doubtless three or four
thousand dollars worth of property was
saved. Eusden's loss was $300, insur
ance $150, which was paid Saturday.
Mr. Wiirdeman's loss was about $50,
fully insured.
The Journal's custom is to leave
off merely personal matters (concerning
ourselves), until the very latest moment,
and thus it happens that we have only
a line or two by way of paying our re
spects to Mr. Hensley. If we have owed
him some $3, $1 or $5 for two, three or
four weeks, it would only be part pay
for the much larger sum that he owed
us for a much longer time honors of
that kind are pretty easy. As for the
Telegram, suppose that the amount you
speak of were forty times as large and
the length of time a hundred months.
would that demonstrate Mr. Hensley's
ability to fill the ofice of county judge?
The truth ia that we all know Henaley,
and as 'he is not liable to be elected
judge, there's no use to waste words
about him.

He can remember an entire tune by
hearing it played once, aad can repro
duce it at once on. the piano; he has
been blind since early infancy, and
therefore his powers scorn all the more
wonderful. It iaaaid that bis only way
of learning a composition is by hearing
some good pianist play it over three or
four times; then he' will sit down and
perform tbe task without a mistake. His
list of pieces is very complete, embrac
ing some of the very best -fnTfrirn. His
imitations of varioas instruments are
unique and laughable; altogether, the
entertainment ia one to be remembered
a life time.

Threshing is about all done here
aboutsaad corn husking has begun.
Wheat yielded from 10 to 18 bushels,
oats 2.1 to 40 bushels to the acre but of
excellent quality, corn is not so good in
quality as last year. Potatoes are a
good crop and all dug except our friend
H. J. who is waiting for cold weather,
nevertheless, the recent cold snap with
its frosts seems to have had a beneficial
effect upon his health, being now able
to take his noonday nap without slip
ping into a two bushel bag to keep the
Hies off.
John Doersh is erecting a large cattle
barn, 20xfi0, we believe; H. H. Hunte
man is also hauling lumber for a large
I one, we do not know the dimensions, but
it will be one of tbe largest hereabout.
We always thought the honest, horny
handed tiller of the soil, was not fully
recognized by our city friends but a
better time seems to be dawning at
least it seems so, and it must be so,
judging from the special interest our
town friends, especially present and
would-be future county officers, exhibit
as to the health of our pigs, prospects of
cattle markets, a. s. f.- Some very bad
men say, that will all cease after the
election, but we can't believe it such
fellows ought to be well nominated
for a county office for such meanness.
A slight rain storm passed over here
last Friday, not enough rain, though, to
be of any benefit for plowing. It is al
together too dry for that, and we almost
feel like following H. J.'s example, viz:
use someone else's calf to do, what we
cannot. a. t.
Kfraurrk Towaship.
Corn husking is the order of the day.
Threshing is about finished in this
Vicinity.
Our Nimrods are lying in wait for the
unwary prairie chicken.
Some of the neighoors attended the
Methodist fair at Columbus on the 2d.
We noticed the other day that John
Powers had a Gilt Edge wind mill
erected on his farm.
Wm. Gerhold brought his cattle home
from Butler twp. last week where he had
them to pasture with his' father-in-law,
Mr. Jahrner.
Messrs. Mueller and Fnltz wound up
their threshing for this season by thresh
ing between fifteen and sixteen hundred
bushels of oats for Peter Greisen.
James McKenzie, who was with Muel
ler and Fultz's threshing machine this
fall is now husking corn for George
Henggler;he lately sold one of his teams
to Mr. Nauenburg.
We noticed Dr. Hoheo in this vicinity
last week and upon inquiring found that
a daughter of Seibert Heibel was sick,
also Wm. Gerholds little boy.
We learn that Fred Stenger has lately
purchased fifty head of calves for $6 per
head; also that C. H. Sheldon has sold
160 acres of land to Mr. Binning for $25
par acre,

The song of the corn busker is heard

The friends of George Mood will be
pleased to learn that be is recovering

Farmers in this neighborhood should
see that their grain and hay is protected
against prairie fires, which are doing
some damage in the eonnty.
The Woodville literary society has
opened for the season. Meetings will le
held each Wednesday evening at the
school house in district 30.
Mr. Kennedy of Illinois, who was here
last week looking for land, would make
a good citizen and we hope to see him
locate here.
The office of county superintendent of
schools is of so exalted a character, and
it is of such importance to every man,
woman and child that it should bewisely
and justly administered; that it should
he lifted out of politics and placed upon
a higher plane. We cannot afford to
elect a man to this position upon whom
there ia any taint, and against whom
there has been uttered the least breath
of suspicion. We want no man who is
incapable or who has questionable or
IkmI habits. For many years prior to
the election of Prof. Cramer as snperir
tendent, Platte county had been dis
graced both at home and in state con
ventions by drunken, worthless vaga
bonds as superintendents. Have we not
had enough of this in the past without
running any more risks in so important
a matter? Mr. Cramer has placet! our
schools on a high moral plane and the
voters will see that no backward step is
taken. j. a.

Corn husking has commenced.
Threshing is nearly all done and the
turn-out was good: oats from 40 to 50
bushels to the acre, wheat from 25 to 30.
Fire originating from the engine burn
ed some hay belonging to John Gerber
and Herman Ernst a while ago; the loss
is estimated at about 40 to 50 tone.
The German Reformed members of
this neighborhood have engaged Rev.
Braun, late of Oregon, to take charge of
the pastoral duties of their church.
The future welfare of our town could be
