A friend tells us that chloride of .gold is a specific in cases of diphtheria; that one doctor of his acquaintance never lost a patient after he began the use of. the medicine. As we write this paragraph, Monday morning, there is not u speok of blue aky to be seen, rain is falling, dust is not . only laid, but mud has taken its place, ' and it is iust sucli weather as we need. .

Henry Spoerry is making a canvass like honorable to himself, and to the party whose candidate he is, and. not withstanding tb.9 seeming odds against hhn at the start, it now looks ss though he will "come under the wire" ahead of both his competitors. Children Cry for Pitoher? Castorla. Vote for Olson, honest, capable, a man of the people and for the people. You will know where to find on all ques tions of importance to you. We have it from good authority that Mr. Bender gave the editor of the Wochenblatt $50, presumably for ad vertising his claims for office in that paper. "Where are we at?" The Farmers' club met at A. W. ninrlr'n Inof UVirlnv. ThAnttandnnPAWHS not large, owing to the stormy weather and most of the program was laid over for the. next meeting, which will proba bly bo held at Wm. Meayea's. Scott Gardner says that a letter of recent date from his father informs him that ho is getting along as well as could be expected for a man of his age. His doctor thinks he is all right, but it will be three months before his broken bones heal eo that he can be out again. In the write-up of the parade last week there was one important character omitted, and that was "Horace Greeley," with his banner, on wbichwas inscribed: "Go west, young man," and "What I know about farming." John G. Pollock represented the character in fine shape. It seems that Hon. Thos. Jensen, a former resident of Ulysses, and member of the legislature from Butler county, has got himself tangled in the meshes of the law down in Oklahoma, and is out on $3,000 bail, on a charge of having taken a second homestead. So says the Ulyssess Dispatch. Anna Becher, after a three weeks' visit with friends, returned to Omaha Saturday, by way of Lincoln. Thirty friends gave' her a surprise on Friday night at the residence of Mrs. C. E. Pol lock, with whom she had been staying. Refreshments and amusements made a very enjoyable time. The Monroe Looking Glass speaks in high terms of the celebration of Co lumbus Day in Columbus, the parade, the exercises, the hospitality "each department seemed to handlo their part understanding, the children were all cared for, and room for an hundred more. Columbus can bo justly proud of the day." R. S. Clark passed through the city Monday night, westward bound for his home in Buena Vista, Colorado. His wife died there Thursday last of heart failure, after a short illness, and the re mains were taken to Fremont for burial Saturday. Mr. Clark's personal friends here will sincerely sympathize with him in his ahliction. "Now Edgewood Folks" affords a rarely delightful entertainment of whole some and unaffected fun. The idea of course being the introduction of Mr. Heywood's peculiar specialties, but he is never made unnaturally or unpleas antly conspicuous and tho story is told with consistency. At opera house, Thursday, Nov. 3d. Rasmussen has a splendid stock of crockery on hand. If you need any thing in that line, step in and you can undoubtedly be pleased in goods and prices. To select from, twenty-five chamber sets; forty bunging lamps, from tho very cheapest to the very best; thirty vase lamps, as neat and pretty as can be, give abundant to select what you wiBh. 1 On Tuesday evening of last week while George Drinnin was away from his wagon a little while, a man stole his overcoat out of it. Sheriff Kavanaugh and Policeman McCoy were soon after tho thief and they were so close upon his trail, evidently, that for self-presor-vation, he dropped tho coat on u pile of lumber in Hughs's yard, where it was found. Gen. Weaver, tho independent can didate for president, was in the city between trains Monday night, coming down from Norfolk on the freight train and taking the 10 o'clock train for Grand Island, where ho was booked for a speech. Ho was accompanied by Mrs. Weaver. There was quite a delegation of his party friends and others to greet him at tho dopot. Alba Heywood is a versatile artist in character sketches. Indeed it would bo hard to find his equal in "old lady" parts, and tho "Boy" act is an oddity peculiar to Mr. Heywood's original hu mor. His other delineations and comic songs are pleasing and laughable. In dianapolis, Ind., Journal. Reserved seats for Thursday, Nov. 3d, at Kear villo's drug-store. Don't wait until all are taken. Saturday night somebody broke one of the front lights in Lamb & Co.'s store room on Eleventh street, and stole a watch, value S15, from the show window. In the early part of the night, Mr. Lamb, who was inside the store, heard a crash, but didn't suppose it was in the honso; in tho morning, however, seeing the broken glass, he was satisfied that that was what he had heard. No clue to the thief. "Candidate Schelp is being accused falsely by some of the Columbus papers in regard to the county seat law made at the last session. Ho says he does not remember of anything being promised before olection." Wo find tho above par agraph in the last Platte Center Re porter. There are several gentlemen, members of Mr. Scholp's own political party, whose memory does not play them false on this subject. George W. Turner returned Sunday night from Europe, where he has been traveling with Col. Cody's Wild West as a member of the Cowboy Band. Ho looks in good health now, notwithstand ing tho severe siege of sickness he had the past summer. Ho left England on the 16th of October, was eleven days on the ocean, five of these being stormy. The Wild West will winter in Chicago and be in readiness for the World's Fair. Niels Olson will make one of the very best senators this district ever had. Some have doubtless been more glib of tongue; 6ome have had more knowledge of the law; some have been shrewder than he would be in manipulations, but we believe nono have shown a firmer adherence to his views than ho will show; none have been more devoted to the cause of the people than ho will be. A plain, honest farmer he is. and a plain, honest senator ho will make. Chas. Herden, a German farmer of Kalamazoo, this county, was killed Tuesday while returning home from Lindsay. He fell from his wagon, breaking several ribs, one of which seems to have pierced his lungs, causing death. He died on the farm of a man named Kuppe, in Platte county. Mr. Herden was quite well known in Madison. He is a brother-in-law of Lawrence Wells. The deceased leaves a wife and several children. Madison Chronicle. On the first page of today's Journal will be found interesting state news, an account of the terrific fire at Milwaukee, Wise, and a full setting-forth of tho ex perience of Mrs. Lease in the south advocating the principles of tho people's party. Those who believe that it is timo (politically) to drop everything and run into the trap, set for us by the national democratic workers, may now, possibly, be able to see that the trap is there, and that it is in its usual good-working order. Thomas Hoffman, a commercial traveler of Kansas City, consulted Dr. T. R. Clark soma time ago in regard to a turner on hie' back, the doctor telling him some things that should bo done, whenever the tumor was removed. Mr. Hoffman submitted himself to a surgi cal operation" elsewhere, but full relief did not come. Remembering what Dr. Clark had told him, he concluded ho would have his council before going further, and consequently on Friday last, the doctor rt-'noved the tumor, Dr. Willy r.psisiing by administering tho cn.TStbetic Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. PERSONAL. Dr. Martyn was in Omaha Monday. Carl Kramer went to' Platte Center Monday to inspect the post-office. Mrs. Clother, son and daughter of Genoa were in the city a portion of last week. Miss Emma Wake went to Lincoln Saturday with Miss Annie Becher, re turning Sunday. ' " W. B. Backus of tho Genoa Indian school, returned homo from tho west Wednesday of last week. Mrs. Cooper and son started Wednes day for Pine Ridge, at which place she will teach the young Indian. Miss Alice Turner returned Wednes day from Madison, where she had been in attendance at the Normal College. Miss Sybil Butler and Mr. Nelson, now of Schuyler, spent Sunday with O. D. Butler's family, returning Monday. Frank Morey started Monday of Inst week for Yorktown, North Dakota, where he expects to be two weeks on business. Miss Mollie Rasmussen, sister of Julius, and a former resident here, is visiting her brother. She has been in Sweden since she left here. Miss Gertrude Wells is attending Visitation Academy in St. Paul, where she went several weeks ago on a visit to her sister, who enterod as a teacher. AS TO SCHOOLS. The Republican Candidate for Representa tive of Platte Connty Defines HN Position. Ed. Journal: To prevent misunder standings as to my position relative to education, I would say that I believe the state has the right, and that it is its duty to see to it that each child learns tho English language and is taught the common branches of education. To effect this, it would bo necessary to enact a law, about as follows: Parents and guardians to be required to send their children or wards to a public, pri vate or parochial school, where the English language, at least, and said common branches of education are taught, from the time of their arrival at school age to their fourteenth year, and for a stated time, say at least three months, each year. Directors or teach ers of private or parochial schools to be required to furnish a list of their pupils, and a report of their schools (religion and foreign languages excepted), to the school boards of the respective districts of which such pupils are resideuts, to enable said school boards to ascertain what children do not receive any educa tion whatever. Persons refusing to comply with the above should bo amen able to the law. H. T. Spoebbt. Three men, giving their names as Edward Johnson, John Murray and John Ryan, were on Monday held to answer at district court, by Police Judge Hudson, on a charge of stealing clothes valued at half rates at S134. These had been tho property of A. Henry, deceased, and were taken, 6ome time last week from his late residence, on Olive street. There were four overcoats worth S115; four pairs of pants worth S60; three coats worth S66; three vests worth S28. A number of small articles, val uable as mementos were also found on the persons of the thieves, who were ar rested at Schuyler, Saturday by the police there, and brought hero Sunday by Chief of Police Coleman. They had some of tho Henry clothing on their per sons; they had sold one overcoat, and offered another for sale. These aro the same men who, with two others, com mitted several thefts in tho town. At Friedhof's store they stole from tho "dummy's" about dark, coat and vest, and an overcoat; from John Honahan's, Friday noon, while Mr. Honahan was in the back yard, a hat, some tobacco and a pistol. Earl Pearsall of Friedhof's went to Schuyler Saturday to identify the goods. While in Madison last Wednesday on business we called upon our editorial brethren of the Chronicle and the Re porter, both of whom have neat, tidy offices and seem to be keeping in line with the progress of their thrifty little city. While thero we met with old ac quaintances and friends in the persons of Rev. St. Clair and family; Mr. Whit wam, president of tho North Nebraska Normal college; A. C. Tyrrell, clerk of tho district court, who in the 70's, was a valued contributor to The Joubxal; James Stewart, the banker; Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Snow; John Horst and W. C. Elley. It was an unexpected pleasure to meet Mrs. E. H. Jenkins of Kalamazoo, and all the family news that could possibly be crowded into a half-hour's talk was the consequence. Madison, like most Nebraska towns, is growing on the solid basis of steady prosperity. For a little while past there has been fresh talk of changing tho county-seat to Norfolk, but we understood that the second potition has been withdrawn, and that the matter will again be dropped, possi bly, now, for an indefinitely long period. Madison is well situated for business, drawing tribute from three counties, and considerable tribute it is. Letter List.

A vote for Cookingham for county attorney is a ballot cast for a man who has some of the "milk of human kind ness" in his make-up. There is a class of attorneys that may fitly be termed human jackals; we are glad to be able to say that neither one of the gentlemen named as candidates for this office, is of that class. Both Mr. Albert and Mr. Gondring have served as county attor neys of old Platte, and both have filled tho meassure of expectation of their friends. Mr. Cookingham would doubt less do the same, and there is no reason why he should not. Don't forget the republican meeting tonight. Of course, as a republican you have made up your mind, but come out and hear the issues discussed by the able speakers. If a member of either of the other parties, you may recejve light that you never before thought was in existence. Bring tho ladies of your household along with you. Republican speakers are always glad to see their meetings attended by the ladies, who after all are tho roal educators of tho land. Last Saturday afternoon at tho fair grounds thero were several interesting racss. The following are particulars, so far as we have been ablo to learn: A trotting race, horses owned by E. O. Ve!li, Albert Stenger and Fred. Stenger the first was successful, timo 3:21J, S:CJ, 3:21. In a half-mile dash between horees owned by Mr. Friday and Mr. Griffin, tho former won in GC seconds. Thero were two other races of less in terest. If you aro troubled with rheuma tism or a lame back, bind on over the seat of pain a piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

Local Politic. At Fitzpatrick's hall Friday evening last there was a gathering expecting to hear a three-sided discussion of political platforms, by C. A. Brindley, William O'Brien and A. J. Wilcox, representing respectively, the independents, demo crats and republicans. Mr. O'Brien tells us that he never agreed to speak on the occasion, and therefore that any thought nf lito Vortlrirnp-rnt-. -to rrn nf trtiia Mr. Wilcox showed, on behalf of the republicans, that tho policy of a protec- tive tariff originated with Madison, was supported by and approved by Washing ton," and that no party during all our history up to the present campaign had favored absolute free trade. The near est approach'to it was a tariff for revenue only. Democrats in this campaign be lieve that greatly reducing tho tariff will keep down tho revenue, and that free competition from other countries will keep down prices. Republicans believe that a tariff should be so adjust ed as to protect our laborers engaged in manufacture, and that in thus doing, not only will tho revenue bo lessened, but prices will be adjusted on the sound basis of competition among our own manufacturers. There nro numerous in stances of how this has worked, in such articles as wire nails, railroad iron, barb wiro, salt, &c. In 1880, the price of wire nails imported was 10 cents a pound, barbed wire was C cents, railroad iron S132 a ton. Now you know how the price has been greatly reduced. Salt was S2.40 a barrel, now 81.40. Mr. Ger ing in his speech the other night had said that the reason these articles are so cheap is because tho consumer does not pay the duty. The consumer does not pay tho duty because none are imported, and this is one of the very effects aimed at by the republican party tho develop ment of the natural resources of our own country, giving ns diversified industries, nlentv of work for everybody, opportu nities for all capacities, and good living wages for every man who works. In answer to the question why ho was a republican, Mr. Wilcox said ho believed tho principles of the party were better adapted than those of any other to secure beneficial results to the pooplo of this country; that party has given us tho best financial system tho country has ever had; through its efforts and against the votes of democratic congress men timo and again, wo have tho home stead law, which has done such a world of good: tho republican party deals justly with tho heroes who helped to save the flag of the country, and keep it from being trampled undor foot by its enemies; last, but not least, tho repub lican party by its policy of reciprocity has eo enlarged our markets that tho balance of trade is now in our favor to the tuno of $44,000,000, rather than against us, which was the case undor democratic administration. Tho silver question was discussed, showing how free and unlimited coinage would put money belonging to the peo ple at large into the pockets of mine owners, without any benefit to mine workers. Tho sub-treasury scheme was also set forth and compared with the Minneapo lis elevator schomo by which its pro jectors reaped tho profit accruing over the amount advanced on the grain when it was stored. The stato bank issuo plank of tho democracy was only equaled in mischief by the sub-treasury scheme of tho in dependents. Mr. Brindley followed stating tho position of tho independents on the rail road question, and contending that if the government would construct and operate a road from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in a short timo all other roads would adopt government rates or else seek to transfer ownership to the gov ernment. He also advocated the policy of issu ing paper money direct to tho people without tho intervention of the national banks. Mr. Wilcox made brief reply, claiming that tho conditions under which tho national banks labor aro not all rose colored by any means, and that, so far as tho government ownership and opera tion of railroads is concerned, tho extra army of office holders thus entering the arena of politics could bo made bucIi an organized body as that any political party in power, could scarcely be ousted, however strong tho necessity for so ciomg might be. Jewell Speaks. An independent meeting was held at Fitzpatrick's hall Monday evening. Thero were about thirty present, all told, including republicans and demo crats. Tho weather was inclement, there was no fire in tho hall, and it was rather rough, up-hill sledding for tho speakers, who, nevertheless, behaved themselves very nicely, and interested tho assembly. Mr. Albert, candidate for county at torney, spoke first, and we aro sorry that wo have not space for the speeches in full. Ho contended himself with a fow re marks on tho money question, while Mr. Jewell, tho candidato for stato senator, spoke at length on the principles of tho independents concerning transportation, land and monoy. He also touched upon his sayings as to the bounty on beet sugar and on the raising of sugar beets, declaring that ho was opposed to any bounties. . He undertook to explain his employ ment of Russians while managing his 330 acres for tho Norfolk factory. Ho then paid his respects to J. E. North, the democratic candidate for sen ator, denying that ho had ever called Mr. North a corporation tool or a rail road man. Ho had said that North rode on a pass and declared: "I am hero to prove tho assertion." Ho then referred to North's saying that ho hadn't been in the employ of tho railroad since about ten years ago.whon he sold their lands. He didn't see how this could well be, when in the same paper containing Mr. North's letter there was an advertisement of Speico & North, railroad lands for sale. "If North is not an employee," said Jewell, "ho is not entitled to a pass, but ho does ride on a pass, and I ride on a tickot." He next took up tho report that ho had pledged himself and perjured himself. We snpposo he had reference to a report that he had "made his peace with the railroads, &c" in speaking of which he used some strong language as to what should be done with him, provided he betrayed his trust. We have not space to further follow his remarks, and, not withstanding that Mr. J. seems a very plausible, smooth talker, there is all the greater reason for voting for Mr. Oleson for senator. F. 31. Cookingham, The republican nominee for county at torney, was born in Schohario countv, N. Y., Aug. 2S, 1856. His youth was passed on the farm, and ho obtained his education in tho public schools. Ho worked out from homo on a farm, pur chased an interest in a erocerv and from J880 to '82 ho was in that business. After disposing of his business, he re moved to Nebraska in December, '82, On the 12th of January, 1871, ho be came a resident of this county, taking a homestead on Grand Prairie, where he resided fifteen years, the remainder of his slay being in this city. Mr. Spoerry has served fifteen years as a justice of the peace in this county; as sencol director tor many years; ib 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 oil 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.

WILL THEY.FUSE? The Democracy aud the Independents Try ing to 3Iake n "Deal." The domocracy of Nebraska has been used to making all kinds of shifts to put themselves in line with their national party. They have swallowed them selves, so to speak, in times gone by, but now they are expected to do a deed even more difficult than that. Evidently thoso of the stato committee who met last Thursday night at Omaha were in considerable of a quandary. Tho question is: "How can we, as demo crats, fuse with tho populists by voting their electoral ticket, and yet keep our state, congressional and local tickets in tho field without injury?" They seem ingly have concluded that they can do this, by an understanding among the knowing ones to quietly vote for the Weaver electors. The Bee of Friday last gives a three-column account of the talk of the committee, and it will be found interesting to party workers to know that the chairman and secretary of the people's party stato central com mittee, also General Van Wyck were present in the city to consult with the committee. Fusion on the state ticket was the canso of any number of stormy inter views. Ono proposition was for Van Wyck to withdraw from tho canvass and agree to take the support of both par ties for the U. S. senate, but whether the General was afraid the democracy wouldn't "tote fair," or whether a regard for Bryan for that office was in the way, wo have not been able to learn. One member said that his folk3 were working for their local ticket and con gressman, and ho felt satisfied that if the party tried to do any funny business they would lose everything. Another thought it would do no good if they throw the entire democratic vote to Weaver, "for," he said, "there ar nnv God's quantity of independents who are going to vote for Harrison electors." Still another was inclined to think that democratic votes could not be thrown to Weaver, without causing a goodly number to go to Van Wyck. Closing these remarks, the Journal would say that it now looks as though all this work on the part of the demo crats and independents in Nebraska will go for naught, and why should it not? 'In politics, as in everything else, the direct, open, daylight methods aro the only ones for men who mean to do right Henry T. Spoerry, Republican candidate for representative of Platte county, was born Jan. 31st, 1830. in canton Zurich, Switzerland, and he ha3 tho chief, good characteristics of his countrymen, a love of liberty, a determination to see equal justice done, and a tenacity of purpose that holds fa6t to tho end.

"I have just recovered from n 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 caso I was able to attend to business about two days before getting 'down.'
