Last Friday morning a team of

a man was found lying unconscious in

this district. And all this notwithstand
ing the fact that the Judge, just prior
to his appointment by Cleveland, was
continually pounding at him in the
Democrat for not "turning the rascals
out" right away, and filling their places
with democrats.

- In that question which is important
to all parents and to the country at large,
"Where is my lvoy tonight V" au exchange
says: "Von are his father or hiB mother,
and if you desire to lay your hand on
your Imiv within lie minutes any night,
you wouldn't know where to tind him.
He is on I he streets somewhere, but just
where, with whom, in what engaged,
what plotting or executing for the
shrewder ones who plot for him, you
could not tell for the life of you. He
has a good home and he ought to be
there at night. He desires to lie some
where else with the boys, and you lack
moral courage to insist that he should
be. You hope that he will escape the
pitfall, but yon know the chances are
against him. Why don't you do the Ihv
thekii.dnesstokeephimat home nights?
The time will come when he will thank
you for it, or reproach yon for not doing
it." All of which is doubtless intended
for good, but there is an element lack
ing. Boys are little men; their motives
of action do not lie deep hidden in their
natures; they are bent on amusement:
even their learning must come to them
largely in the way of amusement or live
ly interest; there is said to le a scheme
(but it is a late invention), of learning
to swim without going into the water at
all, but boys are a part of the living
world and with that world they must
associate; "good company or none" is
well enough as a motto, but like most
wise sayings is impossible of practice;
give the boys opportunities for innocent
amusements with companions of their
own age; develop their good qualities
until some one master motive rules. If,
as a parent or friend of the boys, you can
aid in doing this, you have done well.
S. M. Slawinski, postmaster at Dun
can, met with a casnalty last Wednesday
night that may result fatally. The last
known of him before his injury, he left
a saloon to take the 11:30 train for Dun
can. He was found near midnight, by
Henry Keating, who took him into the
freight depot and went for the night
policeman, who took him to jail, suppos
ing the case was one of ordinary drunk
enness. In the morning when visited,
he called for a drink of water, which was
given. At about 10 o'clock, Dr. Evans
was called by chief Taylor, who had not
been able to rouse Slawinski. The Dr.
fount! a case of apoplexy with a paraly
sis of the left side. Cuts on the right
hip are supposed to have been made by
a bottle breaking in his pocket. These
cuts were the cause of the first rumor in
regard to the injured man, that he had
been sand-bagged, stabbed and robbed.
The truth probably is that he was intox
icated when he got on the train, and
that he fell from the platform with the
results as stated. He was taken imme
diately to the St. Mary hospital, where
he will probably die. While writing the
foregoing we expected at any time to
learn of the nhfortunate man's death,
which took place Friday night. He never
gained consciousness after he called for
a drink of water. He was a compara
tively young man and leaves a wife and
three young children. The funeral took
place Sunday, the remains being buried
at Duncan.
Francis Dunn has been nominated
as the independent candidate for repre

Thursday last quite a numlier of dele
gates were present at Platte Center
in pursuance of the call for a county
convention issued by J. C. Swartsley
and F. Jewell as members of the central
committee.
Mr. Swartsley called the meeting to
order and E. J. Couch was elected tem
porary chairman and N.S.Hyatt, tem
porary secretary. A committee on cre
dentials was appointed, consisting of
It E. Wiley, C. B. Campliell and John
Walker.
After this came the address of wel
come by W. Saunders, and short speech
es by James Kieruan, S. O. Raymond of
Columbus.
A committee on resolutions was ap
pointed consisting of S. O. Raymond,
Fred Jewelll, J. C. Swartsley and John
S. Freeman.
Hon. Guy C. Barnum of this township
was called for and made a few remarks
on the situation of affairs.
The delegates selected to the H0.1t
representative convention (Platte and
Nance counties), at Genoa, July 2", .'! p.
m., were R. E. Wiley of Monroe, P. J.
Long of Burrows, Fred Jewell of Lost
Creek, W. E. Dodds of Butler. They
were instructed for Henry Stevens of
Monroe.
As the resolutions are designed to ex
press the reasons for making a new or
ganization, we publish them herewith:
nnsoLCTioxs.
Whereas, The people of Platte and
adjoining counties have declared them
selves dissatisfied with our state and
general governmental affairs, as con
trolled by the existing parties, and we
feel that the proper time has arrived to
launch another party in the field, there
fore be it
Resolved, That we shall earnestly en
deavor to nominate such men for office
as will always champion the rights of
the people, and defend them against all
measures calculated to benegt a few or
class to the detriment of the general
public.
Resolcetl, That the republican party
has utterly failed to redeem its pledges
to reduce the burden of taxation as
6hown by the McKinley bill, and there
fore has forfeited its claim to the al
legiance of all honest members of that
party.
Resolceil, That we are in favor of abol
ishing what is known as the state board
of transportation, and demand of our
legislature a maximum freight rate law,
as long as they are owned by corpora
tions, but be it further
Resolved, That we favor government
ownership of railroads, and as soon as
practical the general government should
purchase and operate the railroad
known as the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific and their branches from Council
Bluffs to San Francisco, and also all
telegraph lines along the lines of the
above mentioned railways.
Resolved, That we most respectfully
iavite all parties who are in spmpathy
with us, and in favor of good and honest
government, to favor us with their vote
and inHuence.
Nominations leing declared in order,
for representative, the following were
suggested: Wni. Wright of Woodville,
Fred Jewell Lost Creek, J. S. Freeman

On motion, the nomination of Shelp
was made unanimous. He accepted in
a brief speech which was well received
by the convention.
Saunders, Hyatt and Couch were ap
pointed a committee to act in liehalf of
Platte county, with the friends of the
cause in Colfax county, as a candidate
for senator.
The nomination of a candidate for
county attorney Iving declared next in
order, a motion was made that John M.
Gondring. the present incumbent be
nominated by acclamation. This prob
ably would have leen done without fur
t her question had not Clark of Columbus
offered a resolution endorsing Gondring
and directing the central committee to
place him on the ticket in cast of his
nomination by the democrats. The mo
tive underlying the resolution was. of
course, plainly apparent, and inquiry of
Mr. Clark developed the fact that Mr.
Gondring would not accept the nomina
tion at the hands of this convention. as
indicated by Clark's resolution, he pre
ferred nomination by the democracy and
endorsement by the independents. The
convention evidently wanted men "who
were oft" with the old love," as well as
'm with the new." and so, very prompt
ly sat down on the resolution. Win.
O'Brien's name was mentioned, but Ik
ing a resident of the Third ward of this
city and not having attended the caucus
presided over by Mr. Raymond, his name
was not furt her considered.
I. L. Allierts, Esq., of this city, being
present, was conferred with and placed
iu nomination by Mr. Jewell, ami nomi
nated unanimously, by acclamation.

The liiilcpenilents hi Session to Nominate
Their First Candidate for
Cmnt.
One hundred and forty-eight delegates
are, as we go to press, congregated at
the opera house, listening to speeches
and waiting for the action of committees
to go forward with the business of nom
inating a standard lcarer in the con
gressional campaign.
A numlier of speeches have been
made, some very judicious, such as that
by Mr. Powers of the state alliance, and
ex-Governor Butler and Mr. Sims;
others not so well calculated to bring
the somewhat discordant elements to
gether, such as Mr. Schraeder's speech
on the tariff. Mr. Chamberlaih's speech
was devoted to picturingtheoppressious
by the money power, giving incidents
met with iu the course of his lalwtrs as
an organizer, and to tiring the hearts of
his audience to light the fight until the
bitter end. One of the emphatic ex
pressions by which he endeavored to
impress the situation was, -"You are all
in the corral, and they are just swinging
the gate ujion you."
As we go to press, C. W. Beal of Cus
ter, h:is leen selected as permanent
chairman, F. Jewell of Platte as secre
tary, and J. F. Wheelock of Buffalo as
assistant secretary.
There is quite a crowd of interested,
old-party men present, who are giving
respectful attention to what is being
said, and there is a plainly evident de
termination on the part of the dele
gates to deliberate fully before deciding
upon a candidate.
On an informal ballot, M. A. Knox of
Custer had lfi votes; W. A. Poynter of
Boone 14; C. D. Schraeder of Logan IK);
W. L. Willard of Hall 4, and O. M. Kern
of Custer .i0.
The first formal ballot, Kern had 82
votes, Schraeder 7il, Knox 1, and Kem
was declared the nominee of the con
vention. On motion of Schraeder the
nomination was made unanimous and
Mr. Kem was called upon for a speech.
He responded with a very fair, deliber
ate, straight-forward presentation of his
views, and gave an insight into the sin
cerity of his sentiments by an account,
in brief, of his life in Nebraska, of
which, more at length in the next issue
of The Journal.
