He struck a downward market and didn't get as much a bnshel for the corn he fed to the hogs as the Stock Yards Co. get for theirs six little scoopfuls 81.50. Rev. Father Ryan is doing Ills level best to give away 120 acres of line land near this city for an educational institu tion for young men, under the auspices of the Catholic church. This is a pro ject that it would be well to encourage. The lac es musicale at Miss Nettie Anderson's Monday evening, was a de lightful meeting (no other word seems to appropriately describe it.)

It is such reminders that add cheerand comfort to the life of the printers. Just as we go to press, we hear a re port that a newspaper man of somewhat unsavory repute heretofore, residing in Nance county, was guilty last Sunday of making a criminal assault upon a young lady acquaintance, fourteen years old. We have not time to verify the report, but if the facts are as we hear them, the sconndrel ought to be very summarily and severely pun ished. I. E. Gates returned Friday morn ing, from Atkinson, Holt county, where he had been to look after the cattle in terests of Gates Bros. It is a fine win ter there, as well as here, and stock are looking splendidly. He tells us that he talked with a gentleman from the Black Hills who was a government contractor last year for the supply to Indians, and therefore had occasion to be at the agen cy and know what was going on. He told Mr. Gates that nearly half the sup ply furnished never reached the Indians, for whom it was all chargeable. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. At the Methodist church .last Sab bath, the pastor, in answer to a question, gave the result of the vote to admit women to the general conference. The vote was affirmative by 62J per cent. The affirmative states with their per centage were New England 70; Western 80; Pacific 86; white conferences in the south 58; the negatives, Middle States 5J; colored conferences 71; German !. In order to carry the measure, two-thirds of the ministers of the annual confer ence must vote affirmatively and a majority of the general conference which meets May 1st, '92. All adtmt that it will carry. The Christian Union, which is not in favor of the measure, says: "A measure which musters all of New Eng land and all of the West, is sure of two elements of success, brains and votes." "Last Monday Jan. 19, when C. S. Webster was coming to town, he saw on on one tree a pair of robbins, singing as gaily as if it were June; and in another, he saw two blue jays. This is tho mid dle of winter, hut winter is made glorious summer" in Nebraska, nd if this weather keeps up, the farmers will be doing their spring seeding by Feb. 15th. Just stand aside and let Ne braska go to the head of the class." So BJiys the Osceola Record, and the I'latts itiouth Herald gives the account of the killing of a real, active garter snake on the 20th. It is only justice to truth to nay that, as we look out of our window this 2M day of January, we see the ice wagons moving. - The fire at Milford Thursday week whb a caution, the total amount of losses, distributed among eight or nine con cerns, was about $10,000, with an in surance of $3,200. Troop A, of the N. N. G., had an armory in the building, and lost carbines, uniforms, sabres, sad dles, tents, Hags and furniture, besides which our old friend, Capt. J. II. Culver, I who rushed to the scene of the fire when he heard the alarm, and no sooner had opened the door that an explosion oc curred which knocked him senseless, throwing him down a night of stairs head firet and pinning his leg fast under a pile of brick, giving him numerous cuts and bcuises. Nebraska has a goodly numlier of lads and lassies, and their gtod deeds can never be fully recorded. They are the every-day, common-place, duty heroes and heroines, who make tho earth a foretaste of paradise, do their work, faithfully and conscientiously, without thought of praise. Mankind are too apt to loak for praiseworthy deeds among the brilliant fire-works of life, rather than in the gentle, useful fires that cook our meals and warm our houses. Among the great numlier of the solid, work-a-day lads of Nebraska is Fred Olsen who last year broke 25 acres of sod and tended 37 acres of corn. Hagel" Co., shipped Wednesday 12,000 dozen of eggs to New York city. Our market for eggs used to be to the westward. Under the old tarifflaw. eggs were free, and the Canadian held the leverage on the American farmer. Under the McKinley law, the tariff on eggs is five cents a dozen; if the policy is let alone the United States will not use fewer eggs, but the home market will lie kept for our own people, unless outsiders wish to help us defray the gov ernment expenses, at the rate of five cents a dozen on all the eggs they sell in the great cities of the east. Home market for home products. The following officers for the en suing year, were elected by the fire de partment Monday evening. President, G. B. Speice; vice-president, D.H.Smith; secretary, G. Fnschholz; treasurer, L. Schwarz; chief, R. Jenkinson; assistant chief, S. J. Ryan; janitor, A. Berger. The president apiointed the following committee on finance: Wm. Schilz, George Taylor, S. J. Ryan. A resolu tion by George Fairchild was ad pted, asking that the hose companies so amend their by-laws that in order to be in good standing there, members must also be in good standing in the fire department. A considerate business man of this city suggests that when the legislature shall succeed in making an appropria tion to aid western sufferers, there be some provision made (just of course to all interests concerned), for the purchase of supplies from dealers in that section of country, who must feel the stress of the hard times, and who doubtless would be glad to dispose of their goods at very low prices, in order to meet their obli gations.

Dale has some young trees set out on his lot, corner of 10th and Kum mer streets. The past summer they made a good start, but Thursday last somebody, presumably a thoughtless boy, hacked them with a hatchet, cut ting some of them quarter way through.

Rev. A. Henrich of Platte Center preached an able sermon Thursday even ing at the Baptist church on the love of God. All who have an opportunity at any time to hear Rev. Henrich, should not fail to be present. His sermons are characterized by good common sense, apt illustrations, deep earnestness, an evident desire to help people, and some thing new withal. The Polk County Alliance met Sat urday last, and C. A. Woosley, who, with A. W. Clark, met with them, sayB that they presented the benefits of the Fanners Manufacturing Co. to the meet ing, and all seemed pleased with the project.

She took tfio first train east for Port Sarnia, Canada. Her many friends will sympathize with her on her mournful journey. A dispatch received yesterday announced his death. HIT WEST. A I'lattr t'uunty Citizen Sei- the t'iiat. San Francisco, Jan. 18, "1U.-Ed. Journal: I promised to send you a few lines while away, and so here goes. In the three months I have been absent from old Platte, I have seen a good many things. Travel through Washington and Oregon shows some very rich soil, and again some very poor soil, tho latter especially in the eastern part of the states mentioned, also illy provided with wood and water. The western part has entirely too much tim(er for profit, and plenty of water in the shape of rivers, creeks and springs. I was looking at a placo near The Dalles, on the beautiful Columbia river, and in Wasco county, about 300 acres, all prairie, except what the creek (some thing like your Shell Creek) takes in; enough wood along the creek for fuel, about 20 acres set out to fruit trees of all kinds, price for tho place $7,000. I think it likely that these western states beat Nebraska altogether for raising fruit, wheat, potatoes and vegetables; by what I have seen I should say they raise as much on one acre as we do on two. It is a great country for timber I never saw such big trees, and the saw mill is a paying institution here. I am stopping here with my friend John Brngger, who keeps the Union hotel, and makes his guests very com fortable. Regards to all my friends who may read The Journal. Your friend, N. B laser.

Pickett was in Polk county a couple of days last week, in the interest of the Fanners' Manufacturing Co. The Reed Alliance had a very success ful meeting in District -44 school houso on the lith. A surprise was tendered to the Misses Moore's on the evening of the 23d. Un usual good time reported. Hill Bros, near Schuyler were in this vicinity trying to find sale for a couple thousand bushels of corn this week. Louis Pittman visited tho metropolis of Platte county Friday. Mrs. A. C. Pickett aud daughter lluth were visiting in the suburb district Fri day. Charlie Wilson's horso attempted to fool him a trip the other night, by leav ing Charlie to go home with the hitching rope. Charlie says he can't see, but he thinks it was a providential occurrence, for it gave him a chance to ride home with tho girls. Wm. Ernst has cut down the row of trees on the new road, on the north side of his farm, which makes him an ample supply of fuel. .Mr. Samuel Drinnin exjiects to return to Fremont the first of the week, where he will resume his studies till the first of March.

Mike Couars has commenced cutting stalks. The dance held at the Kichland hall Friday night was a success, as that place always has. Miss Alice Plumb has purchased a new top buggy. A prayer meeting is being held at the M. E. church, Bichland, this week. James Marshall purchased a horse of G. Nickels last week for which he paid the little sum of S1.3T. Mr. Meays had a fine young cow dis appear lately; this is the second "critter" that has strayed away from him during the last two years and from which he has heard nothing. Ira Gates returned Friday from the west. The hay press has finished pressing in this district and moved to other fields of labor east of Hichland. Emma Erb returned home from Bell wood Saturday. We were amused at somebody blun dering in last week's issue trying to criticize what No. i's reporter wrote in regard to tho basket supper given for the lieneiit of the parsonage. The writer of said item can swear the number of young ladies present was three, and by his lteing a man of family denies attend ing a public dance, or being a young man. District 41's reporter meant all right, but hit all wrong. We 'noticed last week the Richland Rackets was principally comiosed of dances and upsets. We are pleased to say our district contains something more interesting. June Bun. Keul Estate Ileal. For tho week ending Jan. 2I, 1S00. All deeds warranty unless otherwise shown.
