Alfred Clark of Chicago, was in the
city Thursday and honored our sanctum
with a call. He is a man of ideas, not
only, but has a very clear and concise
and interesting way of expressing him

county h:is declared that he would never
again vote for a democratic candidate
for governor of Nebraska. Boyd's veto
has knocked all the state pride out of
him.

It. Kumnier, in the city Wednesday,
renewed his subscription to The .loi'K

preciated by newspaper people, and it is
for just such men as Mr. Kutnmer that
we all like to work.
Representative Stevens was in the
city Sunday. Ho thinks it might have
been wisdom for the legislature to take
a recess till September. It was given
out at Lincoln that Gov. Boyd had de

Invitations are out for the marriage
today of Mr. Fred. A. Seotield and Miss
Belle Swartsley. The Jouknal, in ad
vance of the event, tenders congratula

E. A. Stockslager, E. T. Graham and
Peter Bender have been appointed to

-A large amount of snow evidently
fell Thursday night up the Loup some
where, as the stream carried down an
immense quantity and piled it np against
the gorge opposite this city, which was
then about :$,000 feet long and within
1;000 feet of the railroad bridge.
Henry Boliert made a pleasant busi
ness call at The Joukxal office Wed
nesday. When prices of farm products
are low, he believes in farmers holding
them until they can get a good price, or
until they are compelled to sell. Years
of low prices are nearly always followed
by years of high prices.
George Barnum, who a short time
since traded his livery outfit for a farm
in Dakota, left Bellwood Tuesday after
noon to push his fortune in Montana.
His family will remain in Bellwood un
til ho gets located. We hope George
will prosiier and grow fat in his new
field of labor. Gazette.
There is not a particle of doubt that
tho raising of sugar beets in Nebraska is
profitable to tho man who manufac
tured tho sugar last year, and who
would like to get the farmers to work
for nothing for him this year, and partly
find themselves to loot. One deal of
that kind is quite enough for tho or
dinary Nebraska farmer.

The election, under the ne law,
seamed to give universal satisiaction.
Many expressed themselves as highly
pleased with it. No pulling and haul
ing, no manner of electioneering what
ever, at the polls or near the polls, but a
decent, orderly election in every man,
each voter being absolutely free to vote
his will and do so with the utmost
secrecy. We give the result:

- The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
organization of the Grand Army of the
Republic was duly rememliered by Baker
Post No. !) at Fit.patriek's hall Monday
evening. The exercises were ojiened
with prayer by Rev. W. M. Worley. The
adjutant read the general order calling
for the memorial. Commander H. T.
Spoerry made the welcoming address,
and short speeches and remarks were
made by Messrs. M. Whitmoyer, J. W.
Smith, Peter Plant, J. C. Tschudy, John
Wolford, E. W. Borders, and W. N.
Hensley. Tho speaking closed with J.
R. Meagher's plea for the organization
of a Woman's Relief Corps for this city.
The ietitioii for a charter received sig
natures enough at the meeting to justify
the comrades in saying that the organi
zation will be effected at an early day.
Here now is a suggestion for S. O.
Raymond to act upon and make the
Platte county fair this year a success
grand beyond previous mention: We
quote from the Blade:
"Under class 15, special premiums, of
the Seward County Agricultural Society,
for 1891, a matrimonial premium will lie
given. To the couple first making ap
plication to lie married on the grounds
the society will pay license and marriage
fees and give the couple a complete led
room set. All others getting married at
the same time and place will have li
cense and marriage fees paid. In ad
dition many articles will be added by
tho merchants of Seward. Here is a
golden opportunity for the young people
to help out the fair and get a fine start
to housekeeping."
Win. Bloedorn was in town Monday
and says the thieves that broke into his
hardware store, took revolvers, pocket
knives, razors, etc., and from Carrig's
store, shoes, handkerchiefs, valuab'e ar
ticles from the show case, liesidcs some
plug tobacco. There were two strangers
who came to the Center Saturday and
left Sunday morning, who areundersus
picion; if they do not prove to lie the
rogues, the officers feel right certain that
they have their eyes on some men
nearer the town who are there are some
circumstances that tend to implicate
t hese latter.
George Taylor had a narrow escajio
for his life Sunday morning. He was in
charge of Mr. Alexander's milk team a
few minutes, and one of the horses
kicked over the tongue, and started to
run up Eleventh street. There was no
holding them, the wagon surged from
side to side, sometimes on four wheels
and sometimes on two. and lookers on
were very fearful that George would be
killed any moment, but fortunately the
"unthinking horses" ran against, the
stock yards fence, and were stopped,
without special injury except to the
wagon.
- The Farmers Manufacturing Co.
met at the Exchange Thursday and elec
ted a Ixiard of directors as follows: O.
Nelson of Colfax, A. C. lMckett, A. W.
Clark, O. M. Wallace and O. D. Butler.
Nelson and Clark were selected for pres
ident and vice president, the election of
secretary and treasurer being postjioned
to the next meeting. A committee was
appointed to look into certain matters
of proposed purchase, and report at the
next meeting, April fith. At the latter
meeting A. C. Pickett was selected for
treasurer and secretary.
-As we go to press, as a rule, Tuesday
evening, wo could not, last week, make
mention or the first "quarterly" meeting
so to speak, of the Ladies' Musicale, at
Fitzpatrick's hall. Those who were
present declare it a very fine treat, un
excelled by anything wo have ever had
here in the way of a mixed musical pro
gram. There is no doubt, whatever, but
the Musicale has done a great deal to
wards ierfecting musical taste in the
city, and we hope to have many such
meetings as that of Tuesday, hist week.
One man, who seemed to know what
he was talking about, in speaking of the
sugar beet factory of Norfolk, says that
a fair estimate gives Oxnard a clear bal
ance in money after he gets his whole
big plant in operation, machinery and
all and this an outright gift from the
business men in Norfolk. Now if the
farmers could be wheedled into work
ing for nothing raising tho beets to keep
the machinery going, what a doubly fine
thing it would be for Oxnard.
At Senator Taylor, who deserted the
independents at a critical moment, and
skipped off to Chicago when he ought
to have been in his seat in the state sen
ate, the following lines are fired In a
farmer-poet:
"Keep running Bill Taylor, the couc can
larejoii.
Don't come here atsliu to disgrace our fair
name.
Take your Uxidle. deurt into Africa jitni;leD
Willi monkeys ami onaices an.t other uch
pimo."
-The S. S. Board or M. E. church
hehl their annual election Monday even
ing at which time the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year: F. W.
Herrick. superintendent; Mrs. Butler,
assistant suierintendent; Eva Amber
ger, secretary; Win. Meayes. treasurer;
Allen Slemuions, librarian; Bertha Zin
necker. assistant librarian; Maud Am-
lerger, organist.
Railroad employes give it as their
opinion that, if the Newberry bill had
liefoiiic a law, we would lave but one
traiu n day, and all hands not necessary
to k'e. for that one eiwl would lie dis
charged, and the wages of the few re
maining ones cut down fearfully. It is
wonderful how many ways there are of
looking at anything!

Farmers are now busy sowing grain.
Two of Columbus' yonng men were
visiting in Duncan Sunday, and judging
by appearances they meant business iu a
certain direction.
John Engle has moved into his new
home two miles west of Duncan.
Nick Bluser, jr., is making prepara
tions for -moving to Oregon, where he
will make his future home. While we
regret to see him leave us, we wish that
success be with him.
Sunday the sheriff and Chief of Police
Taylor of Columbus went through here
in pursuit of two burglars. It is said
that the thieves were aliout two hours
ahead of the pursuers, so there was not
much chance of overtaking them.
Friday last, Mr. Harrington of the
Warren Live Stock Co. shipped seven
car loads of sheep front their ranch at
this place.
Boyd's veto of the Newberry bill
caused considerable comment in this vicinity.-
It is predicted that it will add
more recruits to the ranks of the inde
pendent party. Occasional.
District 44 and Vicinity.
Tuesday of last week, Daniel Sheedy
sold to John M. Curry thee1; of sw '4,
section 10, 17 north, 1 east, the same
being Mr. Sheedy's home farm, upon
which he has lived alone since our ad
vent in Nebraska nine years ago, the
consideration paid was $2,000. Mr.
Curry will take possession in a few days,
and Dan will spend a few weeks in the
hospital, after which he will probably
seek a more genial clime; he has never
fully recovered since his experience with
a runaway last June. To Mr. Curry the
new landlord, we extend our right jy
and welcome him in our midst; his
makeup is that of an honest, steady and
hard-working yonng man; we are also
informed that Mr. Curry will in a few
days lead to the hymeneal altar, one of
our fairest damsels; if that be true, his
success is assured.
The early bird catches tho worm, etc.
A. C. Pickett stole a march on us and
sowed his wheat Tuesday and Wednes
day of last week, while we were watting
for some snowbanks to disapear. F.
Slenger sowed barley aliout the same
time; either of the nliove grains cannot
lie sown too early if they can lie covered.
Henry Lnsche bonght of Dan Sheedy
five tons of upland prairie hay, in stack,
and 000 bushels of white corn in the
crib, paying S8.00 per ton for the hay
and oO cents a bushel for the corn;
cheap enongh.
While hunting ducks one day last
week, Henry Krugger couldn't hit them
hard enough with geese shot, so he
thought he would try what virtue there
was in a marble. He proceeded to load
his gun with a marble, but only suc
ceeded in getting it aliout half way
down, so he tied the gun to his wagon
wheel, fastened a string to the trigger
and pulled her off; when the smoke
cleared away he gathered up the pieces
for kindling wood, and old scrap-iron.
Microcosm.
Some have sown wheat the past week,
but farming will no doubt begin in good
earnest this week.
A. W. Clark has nearly recovered from
bis attack of the grippe.
William Moore will not farm the place
he recently purchased this year. He
has rented part to the former owner, J.
C. McGill and part to his brother-in-
law, Ed. Stickley.
Miss Katie Browner, who has been
teaching in district 23, Colfax county,
is home on a week's vacation. She is
very much pleased with her school, and
seems to lie giving satisfaction.
Miss Dineen of Shell creek is visiting
the Misses Browner this week.
G. W. Erb was very ill Monday and
Tuesday of last week.
Johnnie Curry has closed his bargain
with Dan Sheedy paying him $25 an
acre for his farm.
The new house of Chris. Jossi is Hear
ing completion.
Mrs. Michael Erb was on the sick list
the greater part of last week.
Cyclops was confined to his lied Sun
day, being quite sick.
The family of Thomas Johnson are
nearly all afflicted with the grippe.
Mies Hamer resumed teaching Mon
day. Things at Mrs. Marshall's sale Thurs
day sold very low.
Tom and Mary Reagan spent Satur
day night with their aunt and uncle, Mr.
and Mrs. James Russell.
Willie Browner spent most of Wed
nesday in the northern part of our
township purchasing seed for this
spring's sowing.
Miss Katie Hosier, who has been at
tending school on Grand Prairie, has
returned and will assist Mrs. Albert
Stenger the coming summer.
William Lockhart was very low with
typhoid while on his visit in Pennsyl
vania. Miss E. M. Erb was visiting in these
narts Wednesday.
Miss Minnie Kelley, near Oconee, was
visiting Miss Annie Hamer over Sunday.
Succes to our yonng friends, Fred,
and Belle, who will on the 8th bid fare
well to blessed singleness.

Lavina. March 29, 1891.
Mil Editor: It is just two weeks
today since we arrived here. I informed
you in my last letter I was about to
start out to the John Brown colony. I
found a number of Nebraskans out here,
and they all seem hopeful and satisfied
with the outlook.
The country is new, looks hard and
rough, and sandy, and wants some faith
to believe that stuff will grow, but those
who have lived here two years, say trees
and vines grow rapidly, when they get
water, and bear fruit in two or three
years.
You will see by this letter's heading I
have struck a new lead uliont S miles
from Madera; this settlement has just
been laid out; there are twenty houses,
a store, a blacksmith shop, and Ixiard
iug house. I Imught me a lot for. $7.,
bought me $100 worth of lumber,
(rough pine hoards is what all the houses
are built with here), and when I have
my house finished we will le pretty com
fortable for the summer.
We moved into it liefore we had doors
or windows in, glad to get a shelter of
our own. I left my family at Madera
from Sunday till Friday, at a pretty
cheap boarding house; it cost me $14.
We find groceries about the same as
at Columbus, some things are a little
higher. Flour $2.40 iter 100 iKiunds,
potatoes $1.50 per 100 pounds, bacon
13 cents, beef 8 cents. Wood scarce
just now. I got a good load for $2.50.
The teams are hard to get to do any
hauling, everything is on the jump,
plowing and planting. I wish I had my
team. I tell you it is tough to hoof it
over this rough ground, after we have
had a team to run just where and when
we pleased; it is the wire's turn to say
"drat it" now, and she says it.
I am digging a well, but it is no sort
snap, I tell you; not like Nebraska's
loamy soil where yon can drive a well
and get water for breakfast. O, no, it is
regular hard pan, like a rock.
I have planted some iieach, nectarine
and apricot trees, and I must have some
water if I go to China to get it, and then
my neighbors say my trees will jump;
the water is warm, but not bad Listed.
I wish Tom Finch or Joe Apgar would
get a sneak on a good well along the old
Beaver, and send it out here, for I do
not see how I am going to work through
the hot summer, without my cool water;
when I remember I used to get outside
of about two gallons every day, but why
anticipate; perhaps I shan't get thirsty
in this ''glorious climate."
Well, if I have not said "drat it,"
while digging my well I have thought it,
and uwant to 'fess."
I have got a job as striker or helfier in
the blacksmith shop, as soon ns my
house is finished, which I exiiect will be
next Thursday.
George has a job driving a team for
the colony, at $30 a month and his
board. He is well suited, has found his
school teacher, driving team, at tho same
place, Camp No. 17, one and one-half
miles from this place.
George and I have bought five acres
of land each, already planted to vines;
George is to leave his wages, at least the
most of them, towards paying for his
land.
Have lots more to say, but I am tired.
I expect you are too. I said my letters
would be short, but I want to tell you
it was awful windy hist Friday and
Saturday, but today, Sunday, it is lovely
and the children have just come in with
lots of lienutiful wild ilowers. O yes, I
got a lot of garden stuff in, so I hoim
the rainy season won't drop out yet.
Good-bye.
James Hudson.
Madera is our postoftice yet.

From the Tribune. I
The measles have became quite an
epidemic in Linwood, as there is hardly
a house in the town in which the dis
ease is not represented.
Mrs. Joe Bond, wife of a prominent
hotel keeper at Liuwood, eloped the fore
part of last week, presumably with Ed.
Hamilton, for West Virginia.
Mr. and Mrs. James Bell have gone to
New York city to visit relatives. Dur
ing their absence they will visit Wash
ington, D. C. They will be absent two
weeks or more.
The committee of the M. E. York dis
trict camp meeting association held its
meeting in David City last Monday. A
location for the summer meeting was not
decided upon but it may lie held at
Ulysses.
A. J. Wright and family returned to
Rising City last Friday. Last August
Mr. Wright concluded that Nebraska
was not just the place for a poor man,
and he moved to Michigan, he has now
returned and says Nebraska and Rising
is good enough for him.
Last Friday as Adam Armagost and
Dennis Depew were out hunting, the
former met with an accident which will
lay him by for some time. It seems
Adam was leaning on his gun, while
Dennis was in the act of trying the gun
and the contents were discharged in
Adams's shoulder, shattering the Hesh
and fracturing the bone. It is hoped
the wound may not prove serious.
