The republican float representative
convention of the twenty-fifth district,
(Platte and Nance counties) met at
Genoa Saturday and nominated Henry
Stevens of Monroe township, this
county, as their candidate. Mr. Stevens
is an excellent man and will make a
good representative. Let everybody
-ote for him.
Henry Lners has a herd of three
hundred very fine. Poland-China hogs.
He some years ago began investing in
thoroughbreds, with Levy- Arnold of
Plainview, Micli and has never regret
ted the first investment he made, as his
success has, so far at least, been uni
formly good, and he purposes to con
tinue, as he now has a good line of hogs
for sale, for breeding purposes.
"One more trial, a pull together, and
the democracy will redeem the state."
So says the Telegram. What is a pull
"altogether" anyhow? There is no in
tention of "reform" of course, but if the
democracy can. by the aid of independent.-,
prohibitionists and others, so di
vide the republicans, as to slip into
otlicial power, why it would not Ik? re
form. The Telegram hail another sensa
tional story last week concerning the
.Imlkins house. It don't give the name
of the lady concerned so that investiga
tion could be made into the facts. It
has alwajs seemed to us that the action
of the Telegram with reference to the
Judkms was hardly consistent with its
general course with reference to the so
cial evil.
-The next regular meeting of the
Farmers' club is to be held the last Fri
day in Septemler. 'J p. m., at the resi
dence of Mr. Foles, northwest of the
city. The special meeting last Fridaj
(basket picnic) at A. W. Clark's grove,
was a very decided success, there l)eing
eighty-two grown people present, be
sides a large number of children. A
er enjoyable time was passed.
- The amount of corn that will be cut
up in this region of Nebraska this year
will be beond all former years, perhaps
more than all put together. It is esti
mated that :7 per cent of the entire corn
crop is in the stalks; if this is true, and
the stalk harvest is fully made, a wou
derf ul amount of provender will be Ne
braska's portion the coining winter.
Cut the corn: cut it all. and jou will
not regret it.
J. P. Kernehan, sec'y of the Sugar
Palace Exposition, with W. H. Piatt,
esq., were in the city Friday in the in
terests of the Exposition, and of Grand
Island in general. The attractions, this
week especially, are unusually strong,
and a good big crowd of ieople will be
in Grand Island, for the re-union, who
will doubtless look at the Palace and the
panorama of the battle of Gettysburg,
ami listen to some eloquent sjeeches.
There is a veteran in town who is in
an embarrassing predicament. Inad
vertently he happened to answer two
different claim agents who sent him
pension blanks. As he cannot prosecute
two claims for one pension and cannot
prosecute even one with two pending he
is in a bad box and the trouble further
is he can't shake off either of the agents.
Nobody will get any good out of the
thing in such shape. Schuyler Sun.
It is agreed by the several pastors
of the churches of the city to hold a
union meeting net Sabbath evening in
the interest of Sabbath' keeping. This
occasion is in response to a call of the
American Sabbath Union upon all
Christians and good citizens to express
their views in regard to keeping the
coining world's fair at Chicago open on
the Sabbath. Further notice will be
given in the churches on Sabbath morn
ing. - Wallace .V: Co.'s show Thursday was
the best combination that Columbus has
seen for some time. From the street
parade on through to the ascension of
the balloon, the program was earned
out. and done in a business like manner.
The management go upon the theory of
doing what they promise, and really, in
their way. earning their money. Some
of the feats of the brilliant performers
were really wonderful, in this age of
wonders.
Bayard Fuller says there is a good
demand now for farm lands, and that
there are a considerable number of
strangers, mainly from the south, mak
ing inquiry. All the land dealers in the
citj are doing a fair business these days,
and no wonder. Such a conntry as we
have, cannot be excelled anywhere in
the United States for farming and stock
raising: the seventy of the past season's
drouth has tested to the full the capacity
of our soil to resist a severe " spell," and
Platte connty sod, with eastern and
middle Nebraska, in general, will be in
increased demand.
A. E. Hurlbut of Red Oak. la..
has been in the neighborhoo! several
days, visiting among old friends. He is
strong in the prohibition faith, and says
that, if the question was re-submitted,
while there are many who voted for
prohibition would now vote against it.
there are many more who before oppos
ed it. would now heartily support pro
hibition. At first there was some diffi
culty in enforcing the law. but now it is
reasonably well enforced, and even the
bxt-legger" is coming to be less and
less frequent in his visits on business.
Mr. Hurlbut formerly resided here on
the Geo. Birney place.
The re-nnion at Grand Island is
creating an nnusuid interest among the
old soldiers. As the years shorten for
the "boys." their longing increases to
see the old f.ices. and freshen the mem
ory of the times of the war. What one
has forgotten, another may bring to
mind. ind thus, incident by incident, the
days of march and fight and camp be re
called. John Tannahill. who was a
member of the 156th Illinois, tells us
that at the last re-union, he met a mem
ber of his conipiny, that none of them
hiid heard from since .the war: he is
keeping hotel in Nebraska and had not

We give elsew here from the Daven
port, la.. Tribune, an account of the life
of Bev. J. A. lieed, for many ears a res
ident of this city. In 1M.9. he came to
this city, and shortly afterward engaged
engaged in the banking business with
Hon. Leander Gerrard. and since the or
ganization of the Columbus State bank,
has been of that institution a stockhold
er and director. Mr. Reed had very
many good qualities. He had a keen,
analytical intellect, capable of grasping
thesalient features of a subject and hold
ing them uniler scrutiny until to his own
mind and that of his audience, all be
came clear. He had been a great travel
er and a very close observer of what he
went to s-e, and his accounts were ex
ceedingly interesting, as he had the
knack of dwelling upon those new and
strange customs and ways which always
excite our curiosity, and attract our at
tention. Mr. Reed, dike most strongly
intellectual men), was plain and unas
suming in his manner, kindly disposi
tionetl to all. but especially fond or thos'
closely related to hii m social and re
ligious life: and in affairs of business.
He was not a man who cared to seem
anything but what he was. ami hence by
many was regarded as austere and dis
tant, but this he was not. In business
matters he was most prompt and aecu
rate, and in all things considerate. He
was a firm believer in Christianity, and
few men of his time were better able to
present the subject to his fellow men
Mr. Reed had very many friends here
and elsewhere, who will sincerely mourn
his departure.
With those who first saw the wild
fruit growing along the margins of the
streams in Nebraska, in spite of every
thing, including the fires that used an
nually to sweep over the prairies, there
has never been any misgiving as to fniit
growing in this state, with good stock to
begin with, and intelligent care. Every
once in a while there is a man who pays
some attention to fruit, and he eventu
ally reaps his reward. The following
paragraph we clip from the Howells
(Colfax county) Jonrnal: "Samnel Pont
yesterday gave us an apple grown in his
orchard that measured thirteen inches
in cirenmference. Mr. Pont is one of
our farmers who has thoroughly demon
strated the fact that fniit can be suc
cessfully raised in Nebraska. He esti
mates his apple crop this year at fully
fiftv bushels."
--We hear some young scape
graces who last week annoyed ladies at
one of the churches in this city once
by throwing clods in at the open door,
at another time by throwing eggs. Boys,
if you keep right along in that line of
conduct, it will be sure to land yon at
the refonu school, and. later along, in
the penitentiary. You are inconsider
ate of other people's rights, you think
these things are smart but they are
not and it would be a real blessing to
you if some stont man should catch you
while engaged in your meanness, and
administer to you an old-fashioned
spanking. Better always for you, if you
take a notion, yourself, to be manly, and
do right. In the words of another "quit
your meanness.''

profession, as had his eldest brother.
Dr. M. MacLean lieed. who practiced
medicine for forty-seven years in Jack

Through his father he was a descendant
of Gox. Bradford of Plymouth, Mass.
His stout adherence to his convictions
of truth and principles were life long
characteristics.
For two j ears Dr. Reed was a member
of Trinity college. Hartford. Afterwards
entered Vale college, from which he
graduated at the age of 20. The next

of Hon. Win. Ja. Bedford. N. V. In
lS.'U)-ol he spent in teaching in the El
lmgton high school, a private school for
1h)s. Hon. Jas. Hall being the principal.
The following two years he spent as
private tutor at Natchez. Miss. He then
returned north and completed
the theological course at Vale, after
which he was licensed to preach in Aug.
W). A pioneer to the west so early :is
IS 52. few men have done more towards
it.- advancement in religion and educa
tion, his interest in both being manifest
ed during the hist weeks of his life. He
joined the Illinois hand from lale.which
preceded him b a few ears, and in 1SI,
lie was ordained at Quiney. 111. Dee. 4.
ISiTj he was united in marriage to Miss
Caroline Blood of Concord. Mass.. a
lineal descendant of Rev. Samuel Whit
wig. the tir-t pastor at Lynn. Mass.
Four ears later they returned east,
owing to the ill health of Mrs. Reed, and
from 1S,'J to 1M0 Dr. Reed served as
chaplain in the insane aslum in Wor
cester. Mass. The pioneer spirit of his
Pilgrim ancestors would not allow him
to forget the Christian needs of the "far
west" and he again turned his face to
the setting sun. Iowa being the laud of
his adoption and his interest in its wel
fare, religious and iolitical. never aba
ted. He was one of the first Congrega
tional ministers in the state: assisted in
organizing the tirst Congregational
church, also the tirst association and
preached the tirst sermon in Keokuk.
He next removed to Fairfield and in
October 1S13. with his family, came to
Davenport, then a village of 700 inhabi
tants, his appointment by the American
Home Missionary society: as its super
intendent, making a change of residence
necessary. This position he held from
1M3 to l"l?J. save six years, performing
most faithful and acceptable labor.
Nothing was too dillicnlt Tor him to un
dertake, nothing too arduous for him to
accomplish when in the line of duty.
He was one of the first to select a site
for Iowa college, being one of its found
ers and charter trustees, with which he
was officially connected for nearly twen
ty years and in which he alwas felt a
deep interest. A cherished desire of his
was to attend the fortieth commence
ment, an account of which was read to
him during his last illness.
In Isil. accompanied by a daughter,
he made an extended trip through Eu
rope. He afterward visited every point
of interest in this country. A few
months since lie spent some months in
Washington, where he contracted a se
vere illness from which he never fully
recovered.
Always active in recollections he had
much literary work under way. which
no one without his mine of facts and
recollections, can ever complete. His
last work was the preparation of a paper
giving the history of Congregationalism
in Iowa for the past tiftj ears. which
was read at the "semi-centennial" held
in Des Moines in May last. Severe ill
ness preented his attendance, which he
had anticipated with much eagerness.
His death, while not unexpected, will
be keen I felt by his hosts of friends all
over the state. Davenport (la.) Trib

- Saturday afternoon last at J. R.
Kinnan's. six and a half miles northeast
or Shelb. Polk county. Rudolph Galel.
a young man working for Thos. Darning,
was shot at by J. IL Rinnan, the ball
passing upward across the left chest,
indicting painful but not dangerous
wounds. The trouble arose over some
hay. as to how it should be stacked.
Kmnan assuming to direct it to be
stacked one way. and Gabel insisting on
his waj Darning had leased the bay
land of Kmnan. When Sheriff Hamil
ton went to arrest Kinnan, he leveled a
shot-gun on him and said: "Don't you
come in." The sheriff went to Shelby,
got help, and came back and put him
under arrest. He had his hearing and
was belli to answer next week to a crim
inal charge. Kinnan is well known here,
especially by many of the older settlers.
He owns a section of land, a fine farm,
on which he has fifty acres of fruit and
fruit trees. Voung Galiel is reported as
a peaceable man. not inclined to quarrel.
Stevenson Bros.' separator at Grand
Prairie is becoming quite an institution
for that section. The proprietor Ixjught
a half acre of land of J. II. Hellbush. on
which their plant is located. The sepa
rator is about two feet high, two feet in
diameter, is run by steam at the rate of
five thousand revolutions per minute,
and has a capacity of two thousand
pounds of milk an hour. The machine
..,,..-. , ,- .. . jyTTTM.SOHIL.TZ makes b.M.tsan.1 shoe- in tin
puts tbi butter into one place, dirt intJ-Vv i-.r rvie, and ue only the verj bent
another, ami the milk in another, anil so
quickly is it done that a farmer can
brinir his wairon load of milk, and star.;
on his return home within ten or tifteen
nK
minute. This particular separator ac
commodates a radius of ten miles, and
those who have been selling their butter,
are so well ple:ised with the treatment
they receive from Stevenson Bros, that
they are making arrangements to donble
their supply another year. This method
makes the butter worth two or three
cents a pound more thiin any other.
Thursday a farmer had drawn SW
from the bank, and when he went with
his family to the show, it was seen that
he had quite a roll of money, and he was
strongly solicited to purchase tickets for
reserved seats, and did so. One of the
three or four men who were standing
around, asked him to exchange bills for
silver, which he claimed he was loaded
down with, and in the shutHe the farmer
got thirty dollars less than he ought,
but didn't find it out till afterwards.
He made complaint to chief of police
Taylor, who in a short time succeeded
in having the money, every cent of it,
placed in the hands of the farmer. A
dishonest policeman would have stood-in
with the rascal, and made ten or twenty
dollars out of- it. It is creditable to the
proprietors of the show that they did
everything in their power to aid the
policeman in securing the money and
placing it where it belonged.
