The best yield of wheat we have
heard of this year is that of W. Watling
of Elk creek. Last fall he sowed twelve
bushels, sixty pounds to the bushel, ma
king 720 pounds, from which he threshed

Hon. J. E. North of this city has re

Of course, if elected, he will be found at
the furthest extreme of all democratic
measures.
The concert Thursday evening at
the opera house, given by members of
the Catholic church for the benefit of
the Hospital was a decided success in
every way. There were first-class musi
cians from Kansas City, Chicago and
Lincoln, assisted by some of our best
home talent. The selections were gen
erally on the comic order and took well
with the audience, many pieces being
enchored several times. The Columbus
people who assisted, all did their best
and compared very favorably with the
talent from the large cities. They were,
Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Garlow, Mrs. J. A.
Barber, Mrs. C. D. Evans and the Maen
nerchor. The stage was beautifully
decorated with flowers and drapings,
giving tho appearance of a parlor. The
house was crowded, many being com
pelled to stand all evening. J. T. Cox
was the principal one in arranging the
excellent program and would meet the
same financial success should they
choose to have another.
- Young men, ally yourselves to the
party of progress, the party which be
lieveB in so making the laws that public
benefits will follow upon their enforce
ment; believes in equal justice and a
fair field of work and development for
every fair-minded man, woman and
child; believes in education, that light
from the mental world which illumines
the path of progress, and makes it
brighter and yet brighter as the years of
the republic go bv, and attracts to our
shores or to a lively interest in our wel
fare, the enterprising spirits of all the
nations of the globe; believes in the
doctrine of the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and seeks to
emphasize the latter in legislative en
actments for the good of the race of
mankind. Cast your political lot with
the republican party, and you need have
no cause for regret.

We want every mother to know that
croup can be prevented. True croup
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taken a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse
ness from the start After that a pe
culiar rough cough is developed, which
is followed by the croup. The time to
act is when the child first becomes
hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will prevent the attack.
Even after a rough cough has appeared
the disease may be .prevented by using
this remedy a directed. It has never
been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent

Don't Slander the Farmer.
F. M. Cookingham, esq., of Humphrey
writes us as follows: I see an article in
the Argus purporting to be from our
town but as we believe here from the
head and hand of W. Saunders. All the
way through it is a lot of slush. Refer
ring particularly to the speech of Hon.
Geo. D. Meiklejohn, he was meanly little
and unjust The speech was considered
by all fair-minded men who had theabil
ty to understand, as the most able, hon
est, and gentlemanly speech delivered at
our fair, and if there is any farmer in our
community who did write the article re
ferred to, he has my sympathy, and I will
say that if he does not understand the
cultivation of the soil any better than
he did the speech of Mr. Meiklejohn,
then he is entitled to the sobriquet,
"poor farmer." I send this to you and
you may publish it over my name. I
do not have to hide behind any "anon."
It is a duty the public owes to the farm
ers of this part of the county, and it
would be well for Mr. Argus to require
the same and not slander the farmer. s
The Platte Coanty Fair
Was a success in every particular. The
largest crowds and the best exhibits the
association ever secured, were there last
week. The weather was fine, no rain,
not too cold or warm, and not so much
dust as usual. There were visitors from
surrounding towns within a radius of
sixty miles. Everybody seemed to en
joy themselves and make tho most of
their time.
In the hall were more merchants' ex
hibits than usual, making it necessary
to add a wing on to the west side, where
all the vegetable exhibits were placed.
Free lunch of excellent roast beef and
bread were served Thursday and Friday.
The Genoa Indian band furnished the
music, and were quite an attraction.
We hope to be able to publish the award
of premiums next week our space is
fully occupied this. In another place
we give the race premiums.
"J have just recovered from a sec
ond attack of the grip this year," says
Mr. James O. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days, against ten days for the first at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
first but for the use of this remedy, as I
had to go to bed in about six hours after
being 'struck' with it, while in the first
case I was able to attend to business
about two days before getting 'down.' "

GENOA INDIAN SCHOOL.

Genoa was honored last week bv sev
eral noted personages. They were Gen.
Morgan, commissioner of Indian affairs,
and Senator Dawes. They were accom
panied by K. E. Valentine, Mrs. Dawes
and daughter Miss Anna, who has an
enviable reputation as a writer. Mis.
Valentine and little daughter. There
were two private secretaries and ser
vants, and all had a special car furnished
for them. They are making a trip to all
the Indian reservations and schools on
government inspection tour. Gen. Mor
gan spent Wednesday and Thursday
visiting all the apartments and thor
oughly inspecting everything. He was
very much pleased with the school in
ever' way. Since he was there two
years ago there have been three very
fine three-story buildings erected, all
built from the profits of the different
trades, the earnings of the children of
the school.
There are about 400 children and
nearly 40 employes, inclnding assistants,
who are selected from the children of
the school who have proven themselves
capable of filling such positions.
Tho majority of citizens have not tho
least idea of the work done in these in
stitutions and could not possibly appre
ciate it without examining for them
selves. We can give some idea, however,
by a description of tho display arranged
by the landscape gardner, John Tanna
hill, for the inspection of the hundreds
of people who visited the schools last
Wednesday and Thursday. The origi
nal building is 52x54 feet, now used for
an assembly room. This had tables all
around and two through the center, all
the feet wide ladened with displays
of the work of the children. It
had the appearance of a county fair.
The south wall and tables were covered
with school-work exhibits, writing, draw
ing, painting, etc. The writing of the
Apache children, who were brought to
the school last February, and who had
not an idea of school or our language, is
simply wonderful. It can not be ex
celled by the majority of high school
pupils. The drawing is very natural
and one would think they had been
trained from childhood in this art, but
on the contrary, they have had no in
struction but nature.
On the west, side of the room were
displays of sewing, knitting, darning,
crochet work, aprons, dresses and fancy
work, all done by the girls under the
supervision of Mrs. Edwin Hoare. All
were neat and tasty.
The display of over 100 photographs
taken by Dr. McMillan at different
times were of great interest.
The harness display deserves special
mention. One handsomo set was made
by a boy who entered tho school last
October. All the straps were hand
carved. He was so interested in his
work he would take straps to his room
nights to work on them late and early.
There were other specimens of hand
carved work, cuff-box, gun -case, otc, all
done by boys. W. F. Beckett is super
intendent over this department.
The tailor department was not repre
sented in the displays, but one cau only
look at the neatly-made suits of the
boys to know that few white boys of the
same age can surpass them. Mr. Storm
is at the head of this department.
The shoo shop is under the supervis
ion of Mr. Craig, a practical workman
and excellent manager. Every boy in
his department cnts the shoe from the
leather and makes the whole shoe to the
finishing touch.
The carpenter boys had a cane cut
from a cedar fence post, and beautifully
polished, which they presented to Gen.
Morgan. A screw driver the handle
composed of nearly twenty pieces of
different kinds of wood glued together,
and then cut out and polished. It was
so perfect that several asked how they
could paint it so evenly. Each boy who
learns the carpenter trade receives a
chest and a full set of tools when he re
turns home. Ole Olson is the teacher
of this trade.
The blacksmith shop is under the
management of John Travis, and tools
made by the children proved conclu
sively their ability.
The dairy and gardening is managed
by Henry Stevens. There was cabbage
three feet in circumferenco, potatoes of
fine quality, beets 32 pounds, and a
number of varieties of apples and grapes.
In the cooking department, 400 lbs. of
flour are baked daily into 500 loaves of
bread for the pupils.
The farm has been doing some excel
lent work under the supervision of Ed.
Hoare. Corn was on exhibit with ears
10 to 14 inches long. The broom corn
is one of the main crops and the exhibit
was arranged by John Tannahill in an
original manner. On one end of the 50
foot table was a box of broom corn seed;
second, was the corn one inch high;
third, when ten inches high showing the
mark of the cultivator and the track
of the plowman; fourth, ready for har
vest; fifth, tabled; sixth, cut; seventh,
stripped ready for baling; eighth, bale
of 300 lbs. weight; ninth, at broom fac
tory assorted and bleached. Then came
the several stages of brooms when being
made, of fourteen different varieties.
The last was "back to dust" represented
by a worn-out broom.
Senator Dawes is the originator of the
idea to educate the Indian, and has
during tho 36 years of his congressional,
life, been an ardent friend of the red
man and a sincere worker for his im
provement in knowledge and in the arts
of peace. After his two days' stay and
examination he remarked that he could
say without hesitancy that the Genoa
school is the best we have in the coun
try. This is saying a great deal for Mr.
Backus, as the school was in very bad
condition, in every way when he became
superintendent His helpers, as in
structors, in the schcol are Mrs. Backus,
Messrs. Tabor, Campbell, Kidney and
Parker, and Miss Wells and Miss Anna
Turner.
The Joint Debate.
The discussion announced to take
place Friday at 12, at the fair grounds
between the candidates for governor of
the republican and independent parties,
did not begin until after three o'clock,
as the speakers did not arrive in the city
until about two, and on the fairgrounds
at about three Mr. Crounse not being
present, because of sickness, Hon. A. E.
Cady of St Paul taking his place. Gen.
Van Wyck at first refused to proceed
unless the horse-racing was stopped.
Chairman Albert of the independents,
stated that as the officers of the fair had
said they would not stop tho racing, the
meeting would be held at the park, in
the city. Chairman Heater of the re
publicans stated in substance that the
political meeting was appointed for 12,
m., and that as the speakers were not on
time, the meeting was now held by the
sufferance of the fair board, who had
done their very best in the matter. The
republicans were ready to go on with
their part of the program.
Gen. VanWyck led .off in his usual
style referring in the first of his speech
to the coofnwional campaign m tbe
Third district in 1882, and claiming tlMt
the independent!! nofc- 'were fighting for
the same objects that: the autwnonop-'
oly republicans were then. .He' referred
to tho struggle againstslavery, the orgin
izatfon of- the new.party'as.against the
two old, .whig.and. democratic, and
claimed tlie same, relative - place for
the independent Dartv of today, as for
the republican party in 1856. He said
something is yrong, the farmers' chil
dren have to work when they ought to
be at school; the farmers have made two
blades of grass grow where only one had
grown before, but they havent got any
more for the two than for tbe one; there
was no money in feeding steers last
winter he had tried it himself: ditto
hogs: he referred to trusts and corpora
tions, said the real fact is that the people
aro slaveholders and Blaves, the slave
holders having their grip on the govern
ment There weren't trusts enough,
and just lately the wall-paper, and the
umbrella trusts have been organized,
and even the retail dealers were against
the people and the people's party.
Those who have read the General's
speeches heard nothing now Friday
touching the questions at issue in this
campaign.
Hon. A. E. Cady opened his argument
by saying that he was glad to meet the
people or Platte county, and explained
why Judge Cronnso. could not bo pres.
ent Gen. VanWyck had said that he
stood on the same platform now that he
stood on forty years ago. That was un
doubtedly true if he meant by it that he
was standing on a platform and running
for an office. Mr. VanWyck has descri
bed Nebraska as being in a deplorable
condition every way. Such was far
from being the fact " In common with
many of the audience, doubtless, the
speaker had come to Nebraska with but
a dollar in the world, and under a chattel
mortgage. With a young wife to help,
they have managed to work and save
and prosper, and when any man, whether
Gen. VanWyck or a less humble citizen,
undertook to tell him and his wife and
such as they, that they were paupers
and slaves, slaves as much as the sub
jecte of chattel slavery in the dark days
before the rebellion, he felt disposed to
resent it It is not true- Tho fact is
that we are citizens of a common
country. If it prospers, each of us has
our shiaro in that prosperity, if adver
sity comes, we have our share in that
also. Nebraska is prosperous, and
Nebraska farmers are reaping their
share, which is quickly and conclusively
proved by the fact that twenty years ago
land here was worth $2.50 an acre, when
now it is selling for 2T to S3T, and in the
meantime all have been making a living.
The men who help to make a country
prosperous are those who work to that
end, and not those who are forever
preaching the doctrine of despair. So
far as he was concerned he did not pro
pose to go back to antiquated quetions
that were now of no concern. Wo have
issues enough of present interest to oc
cupy all our time and attention.
The independent party asks the sup
port of the country mainly on two plans
of relief which they propose tho sub
treasury scheme, and the free, unlimited
coinage of silver. ,
He then gave a full explanation of the.
sub-treasury scheme from tho bill
introduced in congress. It provides
that the government tfiall erect ware
houses in which to store certain non
perishable products but did'nt provide
for others, and if it should become a law
it would be worse than any trust or cor
poration now existing. This plan
originates in the south, where the cotton
growers have grown cotton so long that
they cannot raise anything else, and who
want some place to store their surplus
product until they can realize a big
price for it. To make tho scheme a fair
one all around, ever' man who has non
perishable goods, say baled hay, lumber,
hardware, &c, &c, should have the
privilege of an advance of 80 per cent on
his goods, and have them stored until he
can corner the market, and advance the
price, thus making the public help
private enterprise. If this scheme
should become a law it would produce a
commercial pandemonium such' as never
before existed in this country, and worse
than any bloody civil wf r
He next gave his attention to the
silver question setting forth and com
mending the policy of the republican
party of making our currency, whether
gold, silver or paper, good everywhere
and at all times, and without loss to any
holder, and explaining the fallacies of
free and unlimited coinage, showing
that it would be in the interests of the
silver mine owners and against the re
mainder of the people in the ratio of
about 05 to 35. As it is now they get
all their silver is wcrth on the market. 1
xne speaser saiu iuai wnenover tue pro
ducer can take 40 lbs. of wheat and have
the government compel the consumers
to take it as a bushel; whenever the
laborer can take GO per cent of his day's
work and call it a day, then he would
bo in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver as proposed by the in
dependents. The independents claim
that by free coinage the circulation
would be increased, which is not the
fact. The silver certificate is circulated
and the actual silver is the basis of that
circulation, and, besides, the republican
party has given monetary use to the
entire American product of silver.
What more or better could be asked ?
The independents claim that the mere
stamp of the government gives the
money its value. A government promise
to pay stamped upon paper is the same
in principle as that of an individual,
with his promissary note. If abundant
ly able and thorough willing to pay, and
does pay as promised, it is all right,
otherwise not. Take tho southern con
federacy as a sample. It issued gold
and silver and paper. The gold and
silver are worth their intrinsic value now
while the paper is not worth the labor
put upon it. This is simply tho busi
ness view of it.
Mr. Cady closed his able speech,
having spoken extempore, with thanks
to the audience for their kind attention.
He was followed by VanWyck, who
used his fifteen minutes in denouncing
the old parties and commending the
principles of the independents.
