James L Wolford baa written recently-
from Olds, Alberta, British Co
lumbia, to his father in this city, praising
that country highly, on what they know
of it from the few months they have
been there. Potatoes on the sod aa
large aa quart cups, grass excellent for
for pasture; hay in abundance, eta He
insists on his father sending $10 to eater
a homestead of 160 acres, on which be
need not reside for two years, bat must
the first year break and cultivate five
acres, the second year ten. Aa to the
severity of the winters they will know
more about that next spring.
Charles Conners, formerly an engi
neer on the Union Pacific, and who for
some time has been at the hospital at
Norfolk, was brought down Friday, and
will go from here to Omaha aa soon as
it is advisable to move him. His hands
and feet are paralyzed, but his mental
troubles, it seems, have departed. He
was one of the oldest engineers in the
service of the U. P. company only two
older than he, and is universally beloved
by his acquaintances, being generous-
hearted and open-handed always, and
especially thoughtful toward those who
were reallv in need of helo.
IV The Fair Association have secured
I tub celebrated Doubt family, orchestra
and band players, for one of the attrac
tions of the fair next month. They
have been playing at Chautauqua
grounds and Burlington Beach at Lin
coln during the summer, and are highly
spoken of. There is nothing like music
to draw a crowd, and the association
have secured a treat for the people in
getting this family. A balloon ascen
sion' by a lady aeronaut is one of the at
tractions. Reuben Beerbower returned Tues
day of last week from his trip into the
western country. He will stay awhile
with his son here, after which he ex
pects to return to his home in Philadel
phia, going by the way of Chicago. He
is seventy-five years old, and has en
joyed himself on this trip as a man of
fifty would do, and thinks very highly
not only of the western country, but of
the intelligence and energy of the peo
ple in general.
G. W. Elston was at the state fair
Wednesday and Thursday. He says it
was a splendid show, the beet he has
ever seen in the state of stock, vege
tables, etc. The racing was very good,
and it was plainly evident that Nebras
ka these times is not excelled anywhere
for her opportunities, in the line of
horses. A horse has got to go below
2:20 to catch anything at all, one four-year-old
winning a purse in 2:18 3-4.
At Lodge Pole, Friday night, Aug
ust Richlieu was so burned in the fire
at the hotel where he was stopping that
he died the next morning. The body
arrived here Sunday morning, and was

at Bellwood. Mr. Richlieu was a former,
resident of Bellwood, a graduate of the
Normal school at Fremont, and was
teaching school at Lodge Pole.
C. A. Woosley, esq., has had word
from J. C. Barnard of Omaha in regard
to the bluff water-power and irrigating
canal scheme, and he suggests a pre

$75, to ascertain the feasibility of the
project, and the amount of power attain
able, before any further move is thought
of or attempted. It was thought that
the $75 could be raised at once.
Mrs. Angelia Borowiak has been
terribly afflicted lately. About a month

years, passed away to the life beyond.
All died of diphtheria. There are five

Under date of the 13th word
received here from Miss Eittie Speiee,
who was viewing the World's fair in
company with the North family. Wilke
was in excellent health and spirits;
Irve was not quite so lively aa before ha
started tor the fair.
writer hereof, a number of years
ago, took about one hundred and fifty
peach stones, planted them in rows
north and south, about two feet apart,
and has given them no particular atten
tion from that day to this, to see if
possibly they could weather our winters
aa well as our summers. They were
planted on the table land, with no pro
tection in the way of wind break. They
would in ordinary years grow rank in
the summer time and the fresh growth
"kill down" in winter, but one season
tumble weeds lodged against them and
the winter brought deep snows. .The
following season saw quite a number of
good-sized, luscious peaches on the
south end of the little thicket. This
season there have been gathered two
bushels, perhaps from the trees, not a
superior variety, but still peaches, which
are very acceptable. This reminds us
to say that it was a common saying a
few years ago that Nebraska could not
raise tame fruit. The statistics for 1892
show that this state exported 1,500,000
bushels of apples in excess of home
consumption, 423 tons of grapes and
400,000 crates of email fruit. The
growing apple trees in the state are
nearly 5,000,000 and over 2,000,000 bear
ing grape vines, besides other small
fruits immeasurable. Stick these fig
ures between the teeth of every man
who says we can't raise fruit in Ne
braska. Our soil is especially fitted for
it, and the rest is bound to follow if we
properly do our part.
We are in receipt of a communica
tion asking pity for the fallen of woman
kind, and charity for those who take
them in when cast aside elsewhere. Our
fair contributor hopes that "in the fu
ture this work to do good to those in
need of a kind word and a little help,
will do more to cover a multitude of
sins tnan all tne long prayers that all
the church members can put up to a
just God that judges man as he is."
One can be charitable to the sinner
without partaking in the sin, and it is
true that kind deeds are a species of
very effective prayer. Helping those
who are weak, to help themselves, is the
best rule of all for those who areBtrong.
What is knowledge good for, unless
used in defence of the ignorant? Where
is a fitter place for the exercise of
strength than in protecting the weak
ones from the malicious designs of the
crafty? Church members are not nec
essarily unacquainted with the action
of Christ, when he said to the woman
tlQo, and sin no more." It is not neces
sary always to be accusing others of
wrong motives and justifying yourself
"cease to do evil, learn to do well" is
a good rule for all of us to adopt
practice.

The Nebraska State Band Union
have re-elected W. F. Beckett of Genoa,
as president for the ensuing year. The
union has 540 members and it is pro
posed to organize a state band con
sisting of sixty-five of the best musi
cians of the union, plans for the organi
zation to be consummated soon and the
choice of members made. Special
music is. being prepared so that other
bands cannot duplicate it. The union
was in session during the state fair, and
awarded prizes, Syracuse carrying away
the first in class A, a cornet; Eennard,
second, $25 drum major baton; Auburn,
first in class B, a Monarch snare drum;
Mead, second, $10 worth of music. The
morning band concerts were a pleasant
feature of the fair, thoroughly appre
ciated by visitors.
About twenty years ago an eccen
tric character, John Bloomfield, or
"Johnny Schmoker," as he was called,
lived in a little cabin on a farm near the
present site of Newman Grove. He
accumulated considerable money by
trapping, etc. He tired of farming,
however, and sold out to Seiver Nelson,
W,ho paid him the price of the land one
night about midnight. Since then
"Schmoker" has never been seen, and
lately a letter was received from Norway
telling of a man on his dying bed con
fessing to the killing of Schmoker and
stealing his money. The Norwegian
lived in the vicinity of Newman Grove
and soon after left for the old country,
but was never suspected of the crime.
We learn the above from the Madison
Chronicle.
Mr. A. Fleiner, the celebrated Zu
rich (Switzerland) editor, who came
here several months ago to visit among
his many countrymen in this section,
and who was stricken down with typhoid
fever, has sufficiently recovered to be
thinking of his return trip. He has
been afflicted between three and four
months, has been kindly cared for at
the residence of Leopold Jaeggi, and in
tends to start shortly for his home,
going by way of Chicago. Later He
and Mr. Jaeggi started for the fair yes
terday. When in need of any kind of job
work, calling cards, letter heads, envel
opes, bill heads, statements, dodgers,
posters, auction bills, receipts, notes,
bank check books, scales books, pamph
lets, briefs, circulars, or specialty work
of any -kind in the printing line, bring
your orders to Thk Jocbnaii and be
pleased, both ss to quality of goods and
work, and also price and promptness.
Orders by mail receive careful attention.
The Fremont papers, noting the
presence there of C. E. Yost, president
of the Nebraska Telephone Company,
and his work in that city, say that the
line from there here will be entirely
changed; new poles set the whole dis
tance, and two copper wires put up,
making the line the same as used in
long distance telephone work in the
east.
J. A. Turner and Jack Welch re
turned Tuesday of last week from Chi
cago. Both were there about four
weeks, and have an exhaustlees store of
information aa to what was seen and
heard during that time. Like all others
who have been at the greatest fair
known to history, they are unstinted in
their praise of it.
We learn from a reliable source that
Supt Backus of the Genoa Indian
school has been requested by the de
partment authorities to reconsider his
resignation as superintendent He was
also requested to continue his exhibit
of the school at the World's fair ten
daya longer, aa they were highly pleased

Monday for the great show at Chicago,

Don't forget to prepare something
for the Platte county fairs. It will pay
you in more ways than one. In merely
determining what you will take you will
doubtless think of many important little
things that have escaped your attention
for some time. There is nothing like go
ing over your possessions once in a while
to see what you really have got around
you. A little thought of how your prod
ucts may. chance to look in the eyes of
your acquaintances will not hurt the just
pride that you should always entertain
for what k yours because it is yours.
Then, wife and children will think no lees
of you if you provide that all of them shall
have good opportunity to attend the fair.
Try it and aa bow it works.
