Gearg N- Hopkins,
The republican nominee for county
clerk, was born March 17th, 1838, in
Boone county, Indiana. He stayed at.
home until he was about sixteen years
of age, during this time working with
his father at his trade of harness mak
ing. When George was fifteen years old
his father died. A short time after
wards George went to Morgan county,
Indiana, and engaged as clerk in a store.
In 52 he removed to Minnesota, and
eoon afterwards enlisted in Co. H, First
Minnesota heavy artillery, serving till
near the close of the war. His four
brothers were all Union soldiers during
the rebellion, two of them since dying
from the effects of their army life.
After serving his country as a soldier,
Mr. Hopkins engaged in business for
himseh four years in Indiana. Thence
to Kansas in the grasshopper times;
back again to Indiana in T5, and at
farming. Sold his farm in 1881, came
west, locating at Platte Center, this
county, in 1882, since which time he has
been a resident here, well and very fa
vorably known to many of our readers.
In 1887 he was elected supervisor for
Lost Creek township, and during the
past two years has been regarded as
among the best of Platte county's in
telligent legislature.
'Mr. Hopkins will make a very excel
lent clerk. While he is a man of ability,
he is also genial, accommodating,
kindly (no man more so), and with it all,
he would be conscientiously devoted to
the discharge of his duties, under the
law. Mr. Hopkins's record as a citizen
and official is such that all good men
can approve;
fleary J. Hadaea,
has made a first-class judge. His office
is a very model of neatness and classifi
cation. His records and all documents
belonging to the office are kept neat,
clean and tidy. The judge holds the
scales of justice with a steady hand,
and his judgment is sound. Having had
large experience in private and public
affairs, he is especially qualified to look
after the estates of deceased persons,
and the interests of the surviving widow
or children. Those who have had busi
ness to transact at Mr. Hudson's office
during the past two years know how
well he does the work the law requires
of a judge. The man who votes for Mr.
Hudson will make no mistake in bo do
ing. A record of the public career of Mr.
Hudson in which he has faithfully serv
ed the constituency placing him in posi
tions of honor and trust, would fill all
the columns of Thk Journal, and would
only confirm what all know, that in
every way he is qualified for the office:
as a citizen, intelligent and public-
spirited, in the public welfare; as a man
of family who will fully appreciate the
value of justice to the interests of all
the estates of widows and orphans and
all their rights under the laws; as a man
of intelligence capable of understanding
the lawsand sound judgment to discern
what is right between man and man.
See that his name is on your ticket
for county judge Henry J. Hudson.
Lewi J. Cnuaer,
Republican nominee for superintendent
of public instruction, was born in Seneca
county, Ohio, in 1847, was brought up on
a farm, attending the district school
during the winter months.
He has a diploma from Heidelburg
college at Tifan, Ohio, and has held for
years a Nebraska state teacher's certifi
cate for life. -
He was principal teacher and superin
tenden of the Columbus city schools for
eleven years prior to his election two
cars ago as county superintendent.
He is thoroughly well qualified in ev
ery way for this position, as his work the
last two years has demonstrated, and if,
by any possibility, bis opponent is elect
ed, the voters of this county will have
made an inexcusable blunder. How any
intelligent voter can choose Bothleitner
in preference to Cramer for this non
political office, and in which the interests
of our public schools and of our children
are at stake, we are not able to see. See
that your ballot is cast for L. J. Cramer.

Mr. Hopkins is a Zionsville boy, having
been born and raised here, but for some
years he has been a resident of Platte
Center, Neb., where he is at present en
gaged in the harness trade. There is no
doubt but that the convention did a
wise thing in selecting him for the posi
tion, and were his old acquaintances and
friends of this section there they would
roll up a handsome majority for him, for
they know him to be an honest and up
right gentleman, thoroughly capable of
filling the position for which he has been
nominated. Zionsville, Boone Co. (Bid.)

It is reported that the Sioux City and

to be now almost ready for operation,
and when completed will connect Sioux

recently between the Union Pacific and
Manitoba, and furnish a direct outlet to
the great lakes. Trains will be running

and so went to jafl. The trouble arose
over the division of the farm produce.

Ed. Journal: A question is asked on
all sides these days: Ought the people of
Platte county support John Stauffer for
county treasurer this fall or not, and for
several reasons: First he fed1 at the
county crib for thirteen years 'and that
ought to satisfy any man, providing he
is not too greedy. Second, not muoh of
the money he accumulated by his office
of county clerk is invested in Platte
county, where it was made and rightly
belongs, but is sent to enrich Omaha
bankers, so the tax payers can see at
once that Mr. Stauffer is not doing the
good to his home county, that he might
Third, Mr. Stauffer's action in using his
official influence to prevent the examina
tion of the records of his office and the
way he managed to bring about his own
nomination -for the treasury and that of
his depnty to the office he has been filling
for so many years, do not reflect very
creditably on him officially. On the
other side, his opponent, Gus.G. Becher,
has made a most excellent treasurer, has
given entire satisfaction to all who had
business with him. Not a word canbe
said against him as a man or officer, and
the- tax payers of Platte county should
not forget that he is the first county
treasurer in the state who has .turned
over into the treasury of the county,
money received over and above the sal
ary allowed by law. On the one item of
fees kept back from the county treasur
ies by the county officials of Nebraska,
the tax payers of this state have lost
more than in any other one way,
and Gus. Becher is entitled to honest
recognition for setting a precedent that
ought to be cherished by the people. I
have often heard it said that the people
don't know their friends, but 'in this
part of the county we know that .Becher
is the man to guard the county's treas
ury the next term. He has earned an
other term and the voters will see that
he will have it A Voter.

Harraa for Cnuaer! '
Previous to the opening of the. cam
paign in this county it was the-'oommon
opinion of the people that the present
incumbent of tbeoffice of superintendent
would be elected without any opposition
whatever, but as is often the case in
politics, the man who is most respected
and honored before the convention, is
designated as a villain as soon as he be
comes a candidate.
During the dozen or more years that
Mr. Cramer has been an educational
worker amongst us, be has acquired a
reputation for ability and industry
which has been thoroughly recognized
by his co-workers, and not only here,
but all over the state, he is known as a
teacher of teachers. To one acquainted
with the past history of the office in
Platte county it should seem as though
the people would be only too glad to
retain a man who, upon trial, has de
monstrated himself sn honor to the posi
tion. But the democratic machines have
been commanded to sling mud, and the
cleaner the aharafltr of a candidate the
mors mad it takes to eovar him. For
tins reason the dirtiest work has beea
leveled at Cramer, but most of our citi
zens will take into consideration the
wretched source from which the work
emanates, and vote for Cramer.
In the meantime, the Argus timidly
remarks on the aseleasasss of wiagom
without energy. I have seea pome of
Platte oounty former superintendents
(there were hoaorsble exceptions) so
"energetic" fltat it susjatiajss took two
pea to hold them, fan ftflr afforto were

vHr-
so misguided as to be unappreciated.
The teachers of this county are in a posi
tion to know whether or not the super
intendent is doing his duty, and I
believe I voice the sentiment of every
teacher in this county (with the excep
tion of one Bothleitner) in saying that
until we are offered a better man than
the present incumbent, we are for Lewis
J. Cramer, first, last and all the. time.

Shall the people of the county erect a

and Herbert Wells left for the west and
on the 10th of that month started from
Weisner, Idaho territory, with a number
of others driving 16,000 sheep down.
They drove them to Ogalslla where they
were put aboard cars and Thomas
Bryant's 7,500 were shipped in here,
twenty cars arriving on Tuesday and
eighteen today. Mr. Bryant will feed
these sheep on his farm west of the city,
hence quite a local demand for grain and
hay will be made. They make quite a
fine appearance and the trip down from
the mountains was a good one for the
hoys. Schuyler QuilL
The nutter bss been called to our at
tention, and we have been at some pains
to look it up, to ascertain if the state
ment is true that no case of diphtheria
has yet been reported in the city in any
household where the waterworks is used.
This is at least a curious coincidence, if
it is true, as we believe is a fact from in
vestigation, and it would go to show that
much of this disease can be traced di
rectly to the using of water from wells
that are not put down deep enough to be I
below the surface drainage. The city
water comes from about sixty feet below
the ground, while many of our wells are
not more than fifteen to twenty-five feet

Last Tuesday evening between (5 and
6:90 two burglars entered Ed. Pratt's
jewelry store, on Main street, in Fre
mont, while the proprietor was sbsent at
supper, snd stole about $500 worth of
goods, consisting of gold and silver
watches, gold rings, etc The thieves
entered by a rear door and were escap
ing when discovered. No definite cine.
At 9:35 D. J. Cox, an Oregon sheep
man, was enticed away from the Union
Pacific depot a abort distance, and was
held up and robbed of $120 in money
and a gold watch valued at $60. The rob
bers, of which there were two, sre nsm-
ed Wilson and Reeves. They had been
hunting around Fremont for a week.
They are thought to be the same men
who robbed Pratt's jewelry store. Every
effort is being made to effect their cap
ture. WashJagtM Letter.

Senator Manderson is very anxious
that the president should appoint a com
missionerof pensions at once. He has
no candidate himself and would have
been glad to have seen Tanner remain
there but he regards the present status
of the matter as very poor politics, and I
understand has not hemtated to plainly
tell the president so at the several con
ferences be has held with him during
the last two or three days.' Senator
Manderson said privately a day or two
since that "thsLonly good thing about
the present situation is that Tanner con
tinues to draw the salary of oommission
erof pensions and will until his succes
sor is appointed and qualifies.'' Secre

justice of the supreme court of Utah,

Secretary Blaine states that the mem
bers of the Three America's Congress
will be taken on a tour through the
south in Jsnuary. The only reason that
they were taken through the other
sections first was that there was more to
be seen, snd it was desired to give them
as favorable impression as possible of
our manufacturing resources before the
work of the congress was begun.
The October term of the United States
supreme court was formally opened on
the 14th, though the justices did noth
ing further than to make the customary
call on the president All the justices
were present and considerable surprise
was expreesea arouna town mat a sue
cesser to the late Justice Matthews had
not been appointed before this term be
gan. The court has a docket of 1,325
cases and under the most favorable cir
cumstances is not expected to dispose
of more than 400 during the present
term. It is believed that the appoint
ment to the vacancy would have been
made long ago if it had not been for the
continued opposition to the appointment
of Attorney General Miller. If this op
position was united iu favor of any one
man Mr. Miller would have no show at
all, but divided as it is between five or
six, it would not be surprising if he cap
tured the much coveted appointment
Representative Samuel J. Randall, who
has recently been reported as being
dangerously ill, has arrived at hie Wash
ington residence. His health is not very
good, but he is not ill. It is probable
that Mr. Carlisle will find him well
enough to assume the leadership of the
minority in the next house of represent
atives. The Knights Templar bad a high old

Secretary Noble has received inany
communicstions from labor organiza
tions asking that he have the facts col
lected for the census next year, showing
what percentage of the people occupy
tbeir homes, and what percentage are
tenants. Also what percentage among
the owners of realty have their property
clear of debt Such a table carefully
prepared would certainly be very interest
ing, and it is hoped that the secretary
can see his way clear to having it pre
pared. On Wednesday the International
Maritime Conference will meet in
this city. The newspapers have not
had much to say about this conference,
nevertheless it will be one of the most
important international meetings ever
held. Its principal object is to arrange
an international code of navigation sig
nals to be used all over the world. That
the universal adoption of such a code
would result in a large saving of life
cannot for a moment be doubted.
Secretary Rusk continues to grow in
popularity. He is never too busy to see
a caller no mstter how humble he may
be, and already many people are asking
themselves why would he not make a
good president? One thing he never
forgets is that it is the people, and not
the accidental office holders that con
trol the country.
Gen. Poole of Syracuse, N. Y., is the
favorite today for commissioner of pen

A hale old man, Mr. James Wilson of
Aliens Springs, 111., who is over sixty
years of age, says: "I have in my time
tried a great many medicines, some of
excellent quality; but never before did I

that is claimed for it as Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. It
is truly a wonderful medicine." For

Parents should be careful that their
children do not contract colds during
the fall or winter 'asonths. Such colds
weakea the lungs snd air passages, mak
ing the child much more likely to eon-
tract other colds during the winter. It
is this saocessioa of colds that causes
catarrh aad bronchitis or paves the way
for eoaaamption. Should a cold be con
tracted, loose ao tisae but cure it as
quickly as possible. A fifty cent bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough remedy will
cure any cold in a few days and leave
the respiratory organs strong snd
healthy. For sale by all draggists.
