The main business done was the adoption of a constitution aa reorted by the committee, whose chairman, Win. Mayes, was present. The election of Krmanent officers was jost poned until Saturday next, when a full attendance of all farmers of Tlatto and adjoining counties who are interested in the welfare of the association is desired. The committed on program was author ized to notify those whom they exjiect to take part in the Fanners' Institute to hold themselves in readiness. O. I. Bolt presided over the meeting. It. H. Dickinson acted sis secretary. Win. Mayes was appointed to read a paper at. at the next meeting setting forth the prominent features of the Farmers' Alliance. The Platte county teachers' associa tion met at the Columbus High School last Saturday afternoon. The teachers present were Mrs. A. C. Ballon, Misses Phounie dishing, Chattie Rice, Libbie Coffee, Abbie Drane, Minnie Pollock. Addie Ransdell, Katie Browner, Alice Watkins, Clara Weaver, J. M. Scott, R. J. Poter, Minnie Kellie, Oconee; C. A. Carroll, Humphrey; Lewis Lamb and P. W. Hess, Platte Center; Minnie Barrett and Alice C. Anderman, Creston; Miss Weaver's recitation, "The Printer's Guest" was well rendered. Miss Rans dell, Prof. Hess and Mr. Porter and others opened discussions on school work. It was decided to hold their next meeting the first Saturday in March, at Platte Center. It seems to be a dangerous thing to treat la grippe as a "cold'' merely, fatally dangerous it has certainly proved to be in many cases. Deaths, by the score, have occurred of those who supposed they were nearly well of their "colds" and proceeded to go about their ordi nary business trusting to "work off" their colds. The disease seems to de teriorate the blood; it certainly aggra vates any chronic lung troubles and for this reason, the utmost precautions should be taken by persons thus afflict ed, against a first attack and especially against a relapse. Doctors differ in their treatment of the complaint, but common sense dictates the precautions we speak of. On Wednesday of this week Super intendent Backus opened the proposals for the construction of a new govern ment dormitory at Genoa. There are eight bids for the work, the lowest be ing those of J. A.

The total nnm ler of minutes lost by tardiness is only aliout fit) ier rent of what it has been in preceding months. The number of cases of corporal pun ishment is only aliout one-half aa many as what it has been in previous mouths. Miss Ransdall's school is entitled to the half holiday for highest per cent of attendance and fewest minutes lost by tardiness. Miss McGath's room lieing second. The High school being the lowest on the list. '1 he order in all the schools is good. very The amount of work done by the pupils and teachers is far in excess o any school I have ever known. The grade of scholarship as shown by the term examination of the pupils is good as a rule but the advancement of the pupils is not. as uniform as it should be. f trust, however, that this defect will soon be overcome, as all our efforts are lieing directed to this end. Yours respectfully, J. M. SroTT. Sappliex for the I'oanty. It was suggested at the last meeting of the lioard of supervisors that the officials, if so minded, might purchase the county blind, between that time and the next meeting, unless the contract was let. We suppose the contracts of Gibson, Miller & Richardson, E. D. Fitzpatrick and W. Saunders are similarly worded with ours, and if so, they read that they shall furnish the supplies that they re spectively are under contract for, "until the county board of said county shall let or award the contract for county sup plies for the year 1890." So that Judge Hensley was not right in ordering else where his letter heads and envelopes. There are several things about the supply business that need looking after. For instance: officials should not be al lowed to order supplies away beyond the possible needs of the office during the current year. We know of blanks that were being used up to within a few weeks past, and that were printed when A. W. Crites was running a newspaper here. The county might as well, on the same principle, order and pay for their coal supply delivered years in advance of the time for its use. Again, every thing in the way of sup plies that it is known the county will use during the year should be included. One item of $52150 for bar docket for the district court, contained in it more profit to the house that printed it, than there was in all that The Joubxal furnished the county during the year under its contract We have nothing to say against the house that did the print ing, and we would have charged the same price, but, if the matter had been included in the supplies advertised for "equal and exact justice" would have been done all around, and the conntv would not have paid so much. Township organization, we are pleased to say, is straightening out a good many little matters. Cratoa. Editor Journal: Now that the farm ers of Platte county are in such a pros perous condition the time has come when the burden of taxation should be lifted from the shoulders of the people. The assessor will soon call upon us and make minute inquiry concerning our possessions. We have been here fifteen years, purchasing our household goods uoon our arrival. Unon ttiMA Ah vor I we have been taxed; by what right? Then every plow, harrow, cultivator, seeder, wagon, etc has been accounted for and the tax paid over and over again all these years. Add to the first cost, the interest on the money and the taxes and then tell us what machinery costs the farmer. This subject of taxation is a vital one to the country and each man is interested in it; it is not a class sub ject for it falls alike on all. Our fathers were willing to sacrifice their live because of unjust taxation. We shall not be called upon to resort to such straights, but respectfully ask the cennty supervisors or whoever makes out the taxable list to leave from it all personals of the class mentioned, and to rate land and stock only high enough to cover the expenses of the county. a. Uiftnarrk Township. Sleighs are in demand now. The past week has given us the idea that winter has not entirely forgotten us.

Quite a munlier of the families of this neighborhood were attacked by the in fluenza; among them are the families of Frank Lucschsinger, J. C. Swartsley, John Saalfeld and at present Messrs.

James MeKenzie returned a short time ago from a visit to friends and relatives at Stanton, this state. While there he purchased a line team of horses, to replace his mules, which he sold to Ed. Goldman before leaving. Charles. IfiMMl .laiucmrnt anil Marlr. Ed. Journal: Exchanging thoughts on farming, how to receive the most benefit from our farmers etc., etc., I would say first: it takes good judgment and muscle; second, it is frequently the case that some of our best men under take more than they can manage, and the result is their farms become seeded with burs, or something else to supply the neighborhood with, and of course ruin the farm. (This bur question would be a very good one to bring before the farmers in their meetings). Nearly everyone knows how to raise pigs and corn. Books are very good but we don't require them in these cases. It is good judgment, what we want in Nebraska, and better prices for what we do raise. A Fakmek. .SCHOOL ITXI1S.

Secretaries Windom and Traov lioth favor the transfer of the revenue marine service from the treasury to the navy de partment. This makes it almost certain that the bill providing for the transfer, now before congress, will become a law. It has Ieen defeated in previous con gresses by the opposition of the secretary of the treasury. No stock is taken here in the rumor of democratic defections in the Ohio legis lature. Brice has paid for the goods and it is generally believed they will lie de livered according to contract. Ex-Senator Kellogg, like most south erners, regards Senator Morgan's scheme of sending the negroes to Africa at gov ernment expense as a very foolish one, and says the solution of the problem will have to be looked for in other di rections. The tariff hearings before the house committee on ways and means have in cluded about every industry intended, but Chairman McKinley says nobody shall be excluded, and hearings may be had on application until the bill is re ported to the house. Mr. Wanamaker seems to have the proper idea of the relations that should exist between a member of the cabinet and the people, as represented in the house of representatives. He told the members of the house committee on post offices and post roads, who paid him a social visit, that he hoped they would call on him as often as they needed in formation on postal matters, and that there was nothing private in the busi ness of his department. The senate committee on territories will not report an omnibus bill. The majority is opposed to the admission of New Mexico, but will report separate bills admitting Idaho and Wyoming. Mrs. Gen. U.
