If a man comes to you, with a team
hitched to a wagon, and a horse or two
following behind, and tells you that he
is in dobt, and that is the reason why
ho offers to sell tho off horse so cheap,
think .twico before buying; tho horse
may be all right, but how do you know
that he didn't steal him? Such a case
occurred tho other day up in South
Dakota, and tho farmer who bought the
horso lost all tho money ho paid, nnd
had to give up tho stolen beast to its
owner, when ho came along inquiring
after the thief. It is a pretty good
thing always for a man to know exactly
what ho wants and what ho would pay,
and buy only of men known to bo all
right in the community. Traveling
horse-traders don't bear a very good
reputation in this western country, and

Niels Olson of Creston gave these
headquarters a call Saturday, before re
turning home from the session of the
board of supervisors. It was the first
time we had seen him sinco the election,
and we were constrained to congratulate
him, personally, on the result, although
it was not', politically, satisfactory. Re
publicans who voted for Mr. Olson had
tho pleasure of voting for n man of their
political faith, who in the state senate
would havo done his full duty, as a citi
zen and a republican. The decree of the
ballots was that another should do duty
as a citizen and a democrat, and so the
people rulo iirst one way, then another.
The philosopher in politics regards office
holding ns merely incidental to the main
issue.
The post office fight is already warm
ing up and a large number of the faith
ful are ready to sacrifice themselves to
save tho country by accepting that po
sition. They hardly know yet where to J
look for the appointment, come claiming
that as Keiper got dofoated he will have
the dispensing of the post office patron
ago in this district, while others claim
that as Meiklojohn is elected ho will have
that duty to perform. In our opinion,
they aro all wrong and Jim Boyd will be
the man to perform that painful duty.
In any event, those Poynter badges are
likely to cut an important factor in the
appointment At least, that is the re
port coming from prettv reliable author
ity. St. Edward Sun.
The story of "Tho Hoboe" is intense
ly interesting, simple, natural and one
that will appeal to all hearts. It is a
subtle blending of the pathetic and the
comical, ono moment causing tears, the
next irrepressible laughter. It cannot
fail to amuse, and above all it gives un
bounded satisfaction, as numerous en
thusiastic encomiums of the press sub
stantiate. Its plot throughout is thor
oughly consistent and easily compre
hended, entirely devoid of tbosensation
alism, 60 frequently found in modern
drama. Tho dialogue is bright and
sparkling, with numerous taking witti
cisms. Tho action at all times is lively
and spirited.
The wreckage train of the U. P.
company passed through the city Satur
day with a goodly portion of tho trains
wrecked at Alda last week on board. It
was a fearful sight to see, and attracted
scores of people. One engino was run
ning on the track, the other was so badly
used up that it was loaded on a flat car.
Baggage and mail cars were stove in at
the ends, and splintered into millions of
pieces. Just think! So many lives lost,
and so much property destroyed, because
of the carelessness, neglect or forgetful
nessof one man. How important that
overy man should at all times, be in full
possession of all his faculties!
Suggestions to tho legislators elect

Tho law ia new, and by a few changes
will make township organization a meth

DEMOCRACY EXULTANT.
A Fine Parade and Meeting in
Cleveland's Election.
Honor of
The jollification of the democracy last
Wednesday evening was quite a success
in every important particular. The pro
cession was not so lengthy and demon
strative as we were led to expect from
the notes of preparation, but it was alto
gether sufficient to satisfy the desire of
tho democracy, and we aro sure that the
event which it was designed tocomtnem
orate was all that was needed, for repub
licans, in the way of fnllnes. without this
pomp and parade.
The procession consisted of several
carriages and about five hundred men,
more or less, with torches, duly marshal
ed, with boys, accompanied by any num
ber of tin horns.
D. F. Davis, editor of the Telegram,
acted as chairman of the meeting, intro
ducing the speakers, first of whom was
Hon. C. D. Casper, editor of the Butler
County Press, and representative-elect
from his county. He didn'f undertake
to say anythingexcept as preliminary to
the addresB of the occasion, but closed
by saying that, as a representative one
of his pleasantest duties would be a vote
for Mr. Bryan as the democratic nominee
for UnitedStates6onator from Nebraska.
Then was introduced the young man
(thirty-two years old) who has gained
such a reputation in the first district,
who has just been re-elected to a seat in
the national house of representatives,
and now aspires to represent Nebraska
in the U. S. senate. He has a very pleas
ing address, is a man of superior ability,
and probably the ablest democratic
speaker in the state. One of his ardent
admirers in speaking of. him the other
day, characterized him as presidential
timber, nnd it would not bo a matter of
wonder, when the democracy conclude to
come west of the Missouri for a nominee,
that Mr. Bryan's name be considered.
His capital is his ability, with the politi
cal world in front of him. Ho makes
friends by his affability, and keeps them
by his sincerity. Ho is not a politician
after the common order, but believes in
giving tho people what they demand by
their votes, and, says if this is not done
by the party now como to power in the
three branches of tho general govern
ment, they will be told very plainly by
tho people to step aside. Mr. Bryan
seoins to bo a very candid man, and
henco he made excuses why his party had
not been so thoroughly in line with tariff
reform, saying that thero was always
among them a protection wing which,
when anything was about to be done,
wonld obstruct tho way. Ho didn't fail
to praise tho people's independent party
for what they had done in Nebraska,
making it, on a total vote, anti-republican,
and commended to these parties the
dtory of the two mules as picturing the
present political situation in this state:
tie them together, head to head, and they
would kick everything else out of sight;
tie them, tail to tail, and they wonld kick
each other to death. Of course, ho put
his best foot foremost towards the sena
torship. aad his speech waH well received
by everybody.
Next came A. L.Bixby as tho political
corpse of the occasion. Ho said that he
had consented to appear in that capacity
only because ho was about to leave the
town. Down in the First district ho had
oeen writiug poetry against Mr. Bryan,
and he knew that tho man who could
survive his rocky linos was a pretty good
man. Ho repeated that he was a cold
corpse politically defunct, that he had
tried to mako a living tho last three
years running a newspaper in Columbus,
that it was n poor living, and if a demo
cratic administration could help the
newspapers of tho city, God bless the
newspapers.
Tho Columbus Cornet Band added in
terest to tho occasion, when thov could
get opportunity between tho bursts of
inharmony made by tho tin bugles.
Altogether, all parties behaved them
selves seemly nnd na disturbance occur
red to mar the full enjoyment of the
occasion by the victors.
WALNUT IIILIj FAKJ1.
A Bit of History and KemiuNreiu-e Point
ing n Moral.
A few weeks ago tho writer had occa
sion to visit eastern Ohio on business,
and while there it struck us that there
were some matters it would be profitable
to our farmer roaders to speak of.
Among tho old residents of Harrison
county, living now close to where he was
born, is a man who is well known to a
number of the older settlers in Madison,
atanton, Colfax and Platto counties,
Nebraska, having acquired with Ephraim
Clark, somo time in the sixties, tho title
to a township of land in Stanton county,
in ono body, besides a largo number of
now very valuable tracts in various
parts of this -state, many of which, we
think he Btill holds. We refer to Walter
Craig. Wo Bpeak of his possessions of
land in Nebraska, simply to "point a
moral," and not "to adorn a tale." By
industry on his then small farm in Ohio,
by attention to the business of that
little farm, by untiring work and yet
with a euro grip on the comforts of life,
and always having in mind tho welfare
of those around his home, he was ablo
to invest in tho cheap lands in tho west.
After a favorablo experience in Illinois,
when he came to see Nebraska, and con
sider its soil aB an investment, he never
for a moment left out of tho account the
general prosperity of tho whole conntry;
tho wonderfully rapid settlement of it
by immigration (his own father being
among the first settlers in the dense
forest of eastern Ohio); and tho other
fact that Nebraska was tho last great
region going westward, in the corn belt.
These three things became so fixed in
his mind that tho desire for Nebraska
soil grow with time, and even now, after
twenty-three years of acquaintance with
Nebraska men, wo don't knowof but ono
of these (and that is L. Gorrard of this
city), who has such strong convictions
in regard to tho value of Nebraska lands.
We remember, during one of hiB visits
hero in tho grasshopper year, how Mr.
Craig's cheering views of the future of
Nebraska put new life into all who heard
him, and oven his sanguine expectations
havo long sinco been loft in the rear, his
faith increasing in a geometrical ratio
with the passing years. He said to ns,
while we were driving over his farm near
Cadiz, that just tho adverse talk of Ne
braskans during that trying season cost
him nt the very least a hundred thous
and dollars, because of its effect upon
eastern men who had begun to appre
ciate Nebraska, but who, by tho adverse
talk, were diverted to other localities.
But we started out to say something
about Mr. Craig's Ohio farm. It now
consists of 530 acres, most of it pasture
land, all, of course, well fenced, consid
erable of it hedge, which looks very
pretty. The improvements are all first
class, as a man in his circumstances can
make them. Dwelling house, tenant
house, barns, &c, all of the best. On
that farm and near it in tho vicinity are
several oil wells, but in such matters Mr.
Craig is very conservative, giving some
thing by way of encouragement in de
veloping the resources of the country.
Thero are somo wells flowing, and the
oil is of extra good quality, but whether
the industry will ever be remunerative is
to lie proved.
Tho main business of Walter Craig &
Son during the last few yeara has been
the raising and selling of high-bred trot
ting stock and pure-bred Fercheron draft
horses, for which the farm is specially
adapted, being well-watered, and covered
with fine blue grass:having substantial
and ample stable room and many beau
tiful groves aud convenient sheds for
shade. And they have it stocked with
fine specimens of animals of the very
best strains tho world has produced.
The leading stallion is Numero, 3553,
record li:27, by Nngget 2:26?. sire of
Gold Leaf 2:10,, Wcdgowood 2:19. Fa

and the dam of a performer in the list,
besides two daughters who have produc
ed 2:30 performers. Grandam, Venus -by

three sons who have sired performers

23iy.
Belmont's dam Bell by Mam
brino Chief 11, is the dam of more de
scendents in the 2:30 list than any other
mare, numbering near three hundred.
Numero is therefore inbred to Belmont,
son of the only Abdalla 15, tho sire of
Goldsmith Maid 2:14, with moro heats to
her credit in 2:30 and better than any
other trotter; the out-crosses Pilot, jr.,
American Star, Mambrino Chief, tho
blood that gave us Maud S., Jay Eye
See, Lady Thome, Guy, Dexter, and
other celebrated and fine-bred horses, all
sensational performers. Numero's indi
viduality, breeding, performance and
handsome produce certainly well lit him
for the exalted nlace ho ocennies in the
harem at Walnut Grove, where he is
much appreciated by his owners and
othor lovers of fine bred horses.
Readers of The Journal will readily
understand that tho above description is
that of an expert, and he is ono of the
greatest enthusiasts on horses wo ever
met, seeming to have everything at his
tongue's end Mr. A. T. Moore.
John Craig of Schuyler. Nebraska.
(who is "another chip off tho old block")
has several of Numero's colts, and on his
splendid Platto Valley Farm may yet
run a distance raco witn nis ratuer. in
the business of breeding fine horses.
We behove "Wat," (as ho is familiarly
called by his old acquaintances he is
not years old, but "years young," as Dr.
Holmes says.) made most of his money
by raising wool, and by buying western
lands and improving, renting -and hold
ing them for the rise that he'know would
come. Tho rapid development of tho
great west, howevor, changed the faro of
things east. Eastern farmers, ou their
high-priced lands, find harder work than
formerly, to compete with tho west in
raising corn, wheat, oats, cattle and hogs,
ana wuen air. uraig ..v ron started witn
their horses the prospect was magnifi
cent. A great horse is excellent proper
ty, nnd the "home" of his herd, for so it
may fitly bo called, is among the very
best in tho state of Ohio, prepared by
Mr. Craig, after his own planning, in
everything, and leased for a term of
years during threo days of a county fair
oach year, for enough to pay tho intorest
on his investment. Tho grounds com
prise forty acres; a half-mile track, one
third sand, two-thirds clay; sheds two
fifths of a milo long, built of oak, stables
seventeen hundred feet long 100,000
feet of oak lumber and 100,000 feet of
pine being used. A windmill on tho
grounds was tho only ono wo remember
seeing in Ohio. It forced water into a
reservoir on a hill near by, whence it was
piped to tho fair grounds tho reservoir
holding 1200 barrels. Tho Art hall,
Machinery hall, Grand stand, Judge's
stand, &c, are all first-class. A hotel on
the place, kept when we were there by J.
E. Matthews, is tho temporary homo of
the horsemen who come thero to train
their horses, to look over tho herd, or to
buy the fine-bred animals. Along sido
of it is a largo eating house, with a din-ing-hall
20x50 feet, which is about ono
fonrth tho tloor space of the building,
built in nineteen dnvs, from start to
finish. The Machinery hall 112x33 feet
was raised in twelvo minutes by sixty
mon, and other work nt the place in like
mauner. In this, as in many other mat
ters, Mr. Craig puts western ways in
practice on his Walnut Grove Farm.
Would that all men and women, ovorv-
whero could havo tho contented mind
and tho indomitnblo courage under dif
ficulties and losses and reverses that
Walter Craig has shown during the
course of a long nnd useful life.

Another Jonrual Correspondent lin?
gestion Worth Coniilerins.
a SiiR-
En. Jocrnai.: Some weeks ago T
noticed a communication in Tin-: .loun
NAii advocating putting thr- sprinkling of
the streets under tho supervision of tho
commissioner of .streets, nnd it struck mo
as a very sensiblo way. I havo no fault
to find with Mr. Whitaker, who has had
the contract of sprinkling for so long and
I havo never heard any one complain of
his work; everybody who knows any
thing about it, knows that ho fulfills his
agreement with tho city to tho letter, but
the recent strong winds demonstrated
again (if any proof was needed), that all
the main streets of the city should bo
sprinkled, at least enough to keep tho
grading that had been dono in the sum
mer, at large expense, in its place.
I would suggest that tho council direct
the committeo on streets and grades to
make a thorough investigation into the
matter, covering, say, tho following
points, at least, and as many moro as
have a bearing upon -tho subject: the
additional cost, under the contract sys
tem, of twice the street sprinkling we
now have I mean twico the space cov
ered, because it wouldn't take twice tho
work now done, nor cost twico as much,
and on this question, Mr. Whitaker, I
think, could give the city a pointer; what
proportion of full working time is used
in tho present service; what proportion
of street work could be saved by sprink
ling twice the space; an estimate of tho
cost under the supervision of the Btrect
commissioner, and this should be based
on a calculation of average wages and a
fair allowance for non-sprinkling days.
I believo that the good judgment of
tho committeo will find it advisable to
recommend to tho council tho way pro
posed by your correspondent, and I feel
sure that the citizens will second tho
motion. Tax Pater.
Chancellor Canflcld.
Arrangements have been perfected, aud
Chancellor Canfield of the State Univer
sity will lecture Friday evening, Dec. 2d.
Tho proceeds will be devoted to enlarg
ing the Public School Library. All who
hive had the pleasure of listening to the
Chancellor will not fail to hear him, and
all who havo not heard him cannot afford
to lose this opportunity. His lectures
are entertaining, instructive and inspir
ing. Aa this lecture is given in the' in
terests of the public schools, it is honed
dvery patron of the" schools of this city
will bo out and thus help the good work
along.
The JouRKAii adds to the foregoing
notico that tho former lecture of tho
Chancellor, at tho Opora House, was
probably the best ever delivered in the
city not after tho usual order of lec
tures by any moans, but full of interest,
from beginning to close, to all who
heard him.
The "Mardcred" Indian Uoy.
Tho dailies havo had article after arti
cle concerning tho Indian boy supposod
to have been murdered on tho farm of
Nick Hoeffner in this county, some days
ago, and to which reference was made in
the last issno of Tite Journal.
Investigation was mado under direc
tion of one of the Indian boys, one of tho
men doing the shooting was identified,
but tho body of the dead boy could not
be found.
We learn this (Tuesday) morning, that
Mr. Backus, Superintendent of the Gov
ernment Indian School at Genoa, has
received a telegram from tho mayor of
Slade, Iowa, saying that Thomas Blue
(tho supposed murderod boy), had been
there so tho parties under suspicion are
not guilty of murder.
