in giving it to children or babies, as it

It seemed to have been a great hub
bubthe county-seat war between Cnl

and the promptitude with which tho

D. C. Owen says tho trip to Wash

had been here four years and had a
notion that he did'nt like tho country,
who stretched his neck to get his head
down far enough to see tho tops of some

when Bnd. asked him how he would like
a farm up there, he gave up that Nebras
ka was a veritable paradise in compari

by the republicans of Douglas county
oil their legislative ticket We have
known Mr. Lockner for many years, nnd
we can say to our party friends in Omaha
that in him they will have a man who
will do his whole duty in the legisla
ture, honestly, conscientiously and fear
lessly. A successful business man, ho
is possessed of a great deal more than
ordinary intelligence; in fact, he is
knowing, capable and faithful, and will
make a wise legislator, not only caring
for the interests of Douglas county, but
also for the state at large. We hope to
hear of Mr. Lockner's election by n big
majority.
The municipal Church embraces all
the christian disciples of the municipal
ity. It is founded upon tho idea that
tho primary business of the christians
in any community is to christianize that
community; that their obligation to co
operate for this purpose is a great deal
stronger than tho obligation of any of
them to co-operate with other congre
gations in distant cities for the propa
gation of a few theological or ritualistic
fads of their own; and that their primary
christian duty is not done until they are
firmly and compactly banded together
for the systematic and thorough evange
lization of their own community. Dr.
Washington Gladden in October No. of
the Review of Reviews.
Mr. and Mrs. Rami Miller of Polk
county gave The Jocbkaij a short visit
Saturday. Rerai is one of that class of

sional item. Ho leaves us a sample of
Kentucky Red winter wheat grown on
his placo this season, under the super
vision of his son, E. A. He sowed it
with a broadcast seeder and harrowed it
in during the last of September, last
year. It threshed out 318 bus. on 12
acres, 26 bus. to the acre, and it is of
very fine quality, perfectly clean. They
put in, this fall, with a drill, 21 acres. of
the same seed, and will, of course, with
favorable conditions, expect a still larger
yield. They have, besides the wheat,
put in some rye, which is a profitable
crop for Nebraska.
Columbus people do not have the op
portunity very often of listening to so
many talented persons in one entertain
ment as we had in the opera house last
Tuesday evening, under the auspices of
the Y. M. C. A. of this place. Every se
lection was listened to with the closest
attention. The artists were: pianiste,
Georgiella Lay; vocalist, Kate Donahue;
elocutionist, Laura Dainty; cornet solo
ist, Anna Berger; violinist, Leon Marx.
The last three have a wide reputation.
Marx,tbe sixteen-year-old violinist, plays
remarkably well, and undoubtedly has a
very brilliant future before him. The
same company may possibly be here
agaiu this winter, and if so, they would
le sure of a crowded house. Such en
tertainments are instructive as well as
pleasing. The Y. M C. A. are consider
ing the feasibility of a course of five en
tertainments, and we hope they may sell
season tickets enough to justify the ven
ture, ;
SOUTH OMAHA'S M AYOK.
A Former Citizen of Coluwba Mettx Death
ia a Tragic Maaaer.
About G o'clock last Tuesday evening,
two little girls who had been picking up
coal along the railroad tracks near the
smelting works, Omaha, discovered the
body of a man lying in the weeds near
'Eighth and Dodge streets. The face was
covered with bloc d, and a revolver lay
close by his side. Information was soon
conveyod to the proper officials, and tho
patient was taken to tho Methodist
hospital. A 45 calibre bullet having
entered the left side of the forehead
near the temple and the left eye was
lying down on the cheek, hanging by
only a few shreds of flesh, the bullet
was not found. The body was recog
nized by officers as that of C. P. Miller,
mayor of Omaha, n former citizen here,
in the employ of the Pacific Express
company. Watch, cards and documents
found in his pockots, proved his ident
ity beyond a doubt.
From the time of finding the body
there was no prospect of his living, and
he never returned to consciousness.
There were all kinds of rumors as to
the cause of his death first, that he had
received threats from some gamblers in
South Omaha as to what should happen
him if he would order their places
closed by the police; second, it was said
that there were reasons why certain
parties might want him put out of the
way. None of his friends could be
made to believe in the theory of suicide.
He was, they said, far from being the
sort of man who would take his own life,
and they could see no motive for such a
deed.
Alxmt 1 p. m. Monday he left home
and did not return. He was seen in
Omaha dnring the afternoon. In the
evening at 8 he telephoned Mrs. Miller
that he was detained on business, but
would return home within an hour. At
at the same time he instructed Chief
Beckett by telephone, to order the
gambling houses in South Omaha closed.
He was seen on the streets of Omaha,
Tuesday, by several, and to all appear
ances was enjoying life, and did'nt look
like one who was about to commit sui
cide. Tho coroner's inquest has not yet been
completed, but the theory of murder is
the only one that seems now tenable.
The funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon in the First Presbyterian
church in South Omaha. The Bee says:
"The church was crowded to itB utmost
capacity and hundreds were turned
away, whilo thousands realized the use
lessness of attempting to gain entrance
and remained upon tho streets. The
floral offerings were profuse, and of an
elaborate nature." W. B. Dale of this
city attended the funeral.

About four Friday morning the fire
alarm was rung nnd the department
gathered at the Gray block, corner of
North nnd Thirteenth. The fire was in
the room above the hardware store,
where the Argus has two printing press
es. These rest on a platform raised
about six inches above the floor, the
space being filled in with saw dust.
The fire originated on this platform and
near the west wall, but whether by
spontaneous combustion or by a stray
match and mouse, nono may ever know,
possibly. The fire was put out without
turning on the hose, so that the damage
by water was not great. It is remark
ablo what a prompt and fnll attendance
there always is at a fire, but everybody
recognized in this case that the dry
weather we have had would make fight
ing a big fire up-hill work.
Dong Bridges, night clerk at the
Thurston, waB the first to notioo the fire
in the Gray building Friday morning.
The thought struck him that, for some
reason or other, the Argus force was get
ting to work rather early. A very short
time, however, developed the situation,
and the alarm was given promptly.
Clinton Gray, one of the proprietors,
says that he makes it a habit of bounc
ing right out of led at the first alarm of
fire, and this habit served him a good
turn this time, as but fcr his being on
hand, the probability is that the hard
ware store beneath would have suffered
loss by water.
Something New.
Usually when the bill boards of the
city advertise the coming of a minstrel
company, everybody knows just what is
coming, but such is not the case with
Chas. E. Shilling's minstrels, who ap
pear at the opera house this (Wednes
day) evening. The show is entirely new
and one continual surprise from start to
finish. The first part is without exoep.
tion the grandest spectacle ever presen

The handsomest lady in Columbus
remarked to a friend the other day that
she knew Kemp's Balsam for the throat
and lungs was a superior remedy, as it
stopped her cough instantly when other
cough remedies had no effect whatever.
So to prove this and convince yon of, its
merits, any druggist will give you a
sample bottle free. Large size 50c and

Heary T. Spoerry,
Republican candidate for representative
of Platte county, was born Jan. 31st,
1836, in canton Zurich, Switzerland, and
he has the chief, good characteristics of
his countrymen, a love of liberty, a
determination to see equal justice done,
and a tenacity of purpose that holds fast
to the end. He landed in New York
city Nov. 8th, r54, and at that time un
derstood four languages, German,
French, Latin and Greek. He lived in
Wisconsin, in different parts, until tho
fall of 1861, when he enlisted in tho Sec
ond Wise. Vol. Infantry, second Co. K,
serving with his regiment through all
the battles of the Potomac, up to June
30, 1864, when he was mustered out by
reason of expiration of time of service
of the regiment.
On the 12th of January, 1871, he be
came a resident of this county, taking a
homestead on Grand Prairie, where he
resided fifteen years, the remainder of
his stay being in this city.
Mr. Spoerry has served fifteen years
as a justice of the peace in this county;
as school director for many years; is
now a member of the city council. He
was elected a representative of Platte
county in former years, to succeed Guy
Barnum, jr., who served one year and
removed from the county Mr. Spoerry
being elected for the unexpired term.
He has been all these years a close stu
dent of the needs of the people, and of
the laws of the state, and will make
himself felt in the legislature, in the
enactment of just laws and in the needed
amendment of those now on the statute
book.
Keep It There.
A Columbus young lady. Miss Alice
Watkins, is teaching her third term of
school nt Woodburn. The first day, a
flag was swung to tho breeze, and great
interest was manifested by the children.
It could hardly be put up fast enough
to satisfy them. One little boy, Sulli
van Campbell, (named, we suppose, for
the Judge, and not for John L.) made
the remark, after the flag was in place,
"well, it looks something like a school
house now."
Boy, you are right. So long as the
true love of country symbolized by that
flag, fills the hearts of the people, they
will endeavor,not only to know the right,
but to do the right. To go onward and
upward requires effort, requires work
and striving; to go backward and down
ward, all that is necessary is to neglect
yonr present opportunities of improve
ment. Grand Prairie.
A number of our people attended the
fair at Humphrey and Columbus, and
were well satisfied with the proceedings
at both places, and pronounce both fairs
a success.
D. L. Bruen is getting ready to put
up a small addition to his house. He
has been so much interested in cream of
late that he has certainly put a cream
colored coat of paint on his residence
which has heretofore wore the green.
A surprise partv took place at the
home of John S. Freeman last Saturday
night; several friends and neighbors
were present and all seemed to enjoy
themselves. Mr. Freeman has rented
his farm to his son Charlie, and a visit
east is contemplated in the near future.
Miss Myrtle Price of Platte Center is
teaching school in the Spoerry district,
and so far gives good satisfaction, this
being her first experience as teacher.

"I have just recovered from a sec
ond attack of tho grip this year," says
Mr. James O. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Moxia, Texas. "In tho latter
case I used Chamlierlain's Cough Rem
edy, nnd I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in lied a littlo over two
days, against ten days for tho first at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
first but for the nso 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 attenu to business
about two days before getting 'down.' "

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 Bemedy will prevent the attack.
Even after a rough cough has appeared
the disease may be prevented by using
this remedy as directed. It has never
been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent
