Whitmoyer's short address at the Fanners Institute is receiving il lustration every day. His statement was that while farmers could take pains to till their land well and raise good crops, there were matters of business, outside of the work in their farms, that needed their best attention. Frauds are being committed upon farmers continually by agents of all kinds, strangers among strangers, who by their glib tongues and insinuating ways entrap the unwary, and often cause them to lose hundreds of dollars. There is the man with lightning rods to sell, and who usually plays a sleek game to put up three times as much redding as was figured on and at a price double what was talked about; the man with a patent right for a fence and who sells territory for a high price, while professing to take an order for so much fencing; the man with the cheap dry-goods and the cheap groceries gets in his work, and so it goes. The Colo nel's topic was timely, and his short ad dress was a good one. As heretofore, Tmx JouBXaij will give particulars of any frauds that aaay be on the move. Now is the tisM to study these matters, so as to be ready with a solid "no answer good weather comes again, as buds of prey do aot work in bad weather. " PERSONAL.

Miss Anna Lnth, who is teaching school in the Brown district. Humphrey Democrat. A Fearfal (.'barge. W. S. Motter, deputy sheriff of Xance county, was in the city Saturday and had in charge one Henry C. Beman, whom he had found and arrested at David City, after a hunt of two weeks. Beman has been a widower about three years, looks to be altout thirty-five years old, and has three children, two daugh ters and a son. The daughters are fourteen and eleven years old, and Beman is said to lie guilty of having had carnal knowledge of his two daugh ters and of having communicated to them a vile diseiise. The warrant for his arrest was based upon a charge of rape upon the oldest daughter, at Genoa, December 24, 1889. Mr. Motter had his prisoner securely hand cuffed and on the train bound for Genoa, but concluded that it might lie best to place him in jail here, which was consequently done. After a half hour, he changed his mind and, putting his prisoner on hoard the mail car. he took him through to Fuller ton. Beman, it is said, bears a bad reputa tion at Genoa, and his personal appear ance indicates the very opposite of a good man in every respect a Real Estate Deal. For the week ending Feb. 29th, 1890.

The teachers meeting at Platte Cen ter last Saturday, was one of unusual success. The attendance was good, the large school being well filled, and but for the extreme cold weather would have been much larger, as those having a dis tance to drive could not well face the sharp wind. The meeting was called to order in the forenoon by the president, Superintendent Cramer, and several business matters disposed of, when ad journment was had until 1 o'clock. At this time the association again con vened, and the exercises began by sing ing America, with Miss Martha Turner at the ergan. Miss Leach of Humphrey had a paper on language, which was fol lowed by a lively discussion of methods. Miss Dougherty read a paper on a differ ent phase of the same subject. Both papers were well written and presented most excellent ideas from a practical standp3int Xt L. J. Lamb read a te lection on teaching history, which was well received. Misses Katie Have andl Mary Keogh of Platte Center, rendered some beautiful music. Miss Phonnie Cushing read a paper on the Benefits of Our Association, which was very much appreciated, and upon motion a request that the same be published in the county papers was passed. Mks Clara Weaver read a paper in tbe humorous vein, on the Experience of a Young Teacher, and was followed by one in the same spirit by Minn EQa Wells on Hunting a Situation. All these papers were prepared and read in that held the dositt attention of the audience. They were to nature throughout and showed a degree of de scriptive power, not common in such pa pers. Misses Hays and Keogh again delighted the audience with music, after which a short recess was had. After recess the entire audience joined in singing Columbia Thou Jem of the Oeean with Miss Turner at the organ. The subject of teaching percentage was the next theme. In the absence of the one assigned the subject, Superintend ent Cramer made some remarks bringing the topic before the house. He was fol lowed by 3fr. Hess, Miss Rice, and others. The question box was then opened and the questions read and answered by different persons. This was a very in teresting part of the meeting, and took up the time until adjournment. The meeting was one of the best and most successful in every way which has yet been held. The exercises were all well prepared, and the discussions of the different topics spirited, earnest and well timed. Onr teachers are beginning to appreciate more and more the value of these meetings. The next will lo held at Humphrey the last Saturday in March. The people,of Platte Center did all in their power to make the stay of their visitors pleasant, and their efforts were duly appreciated. Shell Creek Gleaning. If that B. & M. branch surveyed long ago should come up Shell Creek from Schuyler, that rich valley would be greatly profited and also the road. Some think that the U. P. may start up from Platte Center toward the head of Taylor creek and so on. A good plan too, but only one of the two plans need be carried out. Speaking of Platte Center reminds one of the fine school there, so well presided over by Prof. Hess, and attended by so many of our stalwart youths and bloom ing maidens from the country, behaving well and respectably also on the streets. A strong sentiment in favor of the amendment seems' to be developing throughout the country. Many are le ginning to see the evil wrought by strong drink bringing no lasting lienetlt to the handler and nothing but harm to the consumer. x. V. z. Farmers' Union. The program for the Farmers' Union Saturday of this week is: First, should Xebraska adopt the Australian ballot system? opened by E. O. Wells. The arrangement of the voting places as used in Massachusetts will le illustrated and explained. Every voter shonld lx in formed in regard to the matter as it is sure to come before onr next legislature. Second subject, review of the work of the late Fanners' Institute, with view of making use of the more practical things brought out in the papers and discus sions, opened by A. W. Clark, followed by short talks by every memler that was present. The matter of holding an institute the coining fall will le con sidered. Third subject, an exerience meeting on tame grasses, with special reference to the importance of every fanner, so far as practicable, commencing to re duce some of their older fields to clover this spring, and the lest manner of do ing it. Our spring work will soon be on our hands and onr meeting will have to 1m less frequent. We hoie a large attend ance at the next meeting. Com. Burrow- Township. 18r below zero last Friday morning. The attendance at the "Mayville school has not loen so large this week on account of the severe weather. Mr. Morrissev will have a sale of stock March 10th. Charlie Lamb and Charlie Burrows left for Kansas Monday last. Feb. 24. Messrs. Fred Wolf and Wm. Godkin have stored away a large quantity of ice for their own use. P. W. Hess, principal of the Platte Center school, spent Sunday at the resi dence of James Burrows. Misses May and Xellie Burrows, Mame Brownlow and Belle Dougherty attend ed the Platte county teachers'" associa tion at Platte Center, Saturday. Quite a number of marriages are re ported for the near future in this vicini ty, after the Lenten season. Miss Man' Webster has lteen engaged to teach the spring term in district L Wm. Lloyd left Monday for a visit with friends in Madison. Creston and Humphrey. The farmers meeting was not. well attended Thursday night, owing to the inclemency of the weather. Miss Mame Brownlow closed a very successful tenn of school in district 12 Tuesday. Miss Keeler is to teach the spring term. Gor Chf.wkk. Gardner. Several of our people attended the Farmers' Institute at Columbus and were; so far as we have heard, much pleased with the meeting. Gov. Fur nas's address is very highly spoken of. Mrs. Robert Taylor has had a severe attack of la gripie, but is now much better. Onr school is nourishing, and Mrs. Carncrass has shown herself to le a teacher of unusual ability. Her work for the last two terms has had a marked effect for good on the pnpils, which is the only test of a teacher's skill. Snpt. Cramer, Rolert Taylor and Mr. Holden visited the school last Monday and all expressed themselves as well" satisfied with the work. The Supt, among other things, suggested the planting of trees around the school house a good idea. Our literary is nourishing and next Tuesday evening the question, "Should Canada le annexed to the United States?" will le discussed under the leadership of Mrs. Carncrass on the affirmative .and Mr. McFarland on the negative. Mr. S. M. Barker is shipping baled hav from here. The Davies Bros. loaded a car last Monday. Our people begin to think the amount of business done here will warrant the R.R. company making this a regular station. Johannes. Received too late for last week's is sue. Ed. Jouksat-J District 44 aad Vicinity. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thnrsdav of last week was a fair specimen of "the truthfulness of the ground hog theory and went a long ways in convincing us that spnng is not here yet. Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Moore and daugh ter spent Sabbath at the farm residence of your humble scribe. . W. H. Tedrow was here last Mondav working in the seed and nursery busi ness. Saturday, Feb. 22d, the Farmers P. A. held a meeting at Fitzpatrick's hall: all of the important business was done by commuiees wno woTKea lute beavers and what they did will soon be felt among the fanners. We are trvinir an amen'mont with clover seed, having a stack of last vear's second crop clover. We threshed out a portion with flails and the 2d week in February we sowed the seed, chaff and all upon a run-down, timothy meadow. We also sowed a small piece of corn stalk ground. The former will be left to catch if it can, and the latter will be sown to oats, cultivated and harrowed. We will note the result. HesBlinger & Geer of your citv are doing the carpenter work on the M'cGan building, upon which work was aban doned four days last week, it being too cold to "knock in nails even, as they called it Last Saturday Joe Drinnin received by express the silver watch he won re cently in the Omaha World-Herald, bean contest. It is a live watch, and all right. K. Platte Center Iteas. The dry goods merchants of Platte Center started in Saturday on the cash coupon system. Dr. O'Kay will have his office in the building now occupied by Misses Keogh & Farrell while they in turn will move into the Phillips building, formerly oc cupied by Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Ts stock was moved across the street and is being sold at cost. Miss Mand TanAlstine of Columbus has charge of the selling. Mrs. Taylor has moved to the southern part of the state. The streets were full of wagons Satur day, and a good trade was done by all the merchants. The young folks and a good many of the married folks indulge in coasting down the long hill near the high school, these moonlight nights. The German Baptist church state association held their annual meeting here Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There was a good delegation from va rious parts of the state. Among the business transacted was the recognizing of the Baptist church at this place. The Platte county teachers association met at the high school Saturday. It was the largest attendance the associa tion has had for some time. Prof. Hess makes a splendid host, and all left with a good word for Platte Center as a place to visit C. I. Crocket '8 harness store was closed up Saturday by mortgagees. The hard times are felt pretty badly up here. John Lucid went down" to Oconee Sat urday on business.

They caught a few, but were prevented from catching any more, by some thieving person stealing their traps. Wm. Cranu purchased a line large team of horses of his father, J. lLCVaun, a short time ago. He intends to farm about 100 acres this year. We expect to hear of him purchasing a license soon. John Knapp, the Sherman township farmer who met his death by the kick of a horse on Saturday. Feb. 15th, was buried the Tuesday following at the Ger man church. We noticed the full par ticulars of this accident in The Journal a few weeks ago. , Wm. Moore drove down to Fremont a short time ago and brought back a corn sheller. His brother-in-law, Ed. Stickly of Schuyler accompanied him. They returned on the 15th and Will has been shelling and hauling away a great deal of his corn since.
