'2 Dr. Martyn was called to Schuyler last week to consult with Dr. Woods in the case of Mrs. M. D. Cameron. II. J. McGath of Merrick county started for Ohio Jast week. He will visit friends there during the winter. -The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. H. .1. Hudson will be celebrated by a family reunion the 10th of November. Just received, at Oehlrich Bros., a car load of fresh, German Millet, clean for seed will be sold ut SI a bushel, tf E. H. Jenkins says that with subsoil plowing he has raised 65 bushels of corn to tho acre, as against 40 the usual way. J. P. "Walker, editor of the Humph rey Democrat, was a county seat visitor Saturday, returniug homo in the evening. J. A. Kehoe of Platte Center, Win, Gerhold and W. T. Rickly had hogs on last Wednesday's market at South Omaha. Quite a number went to Omaha from here Thursday to hear the Thurston Bryan debate, the republicans being in the majority. The Norfolk sugar factory are re ceiving from seventy to ninety cars of beets per day, this amonnt being more than they can work up. One republican Friday night de clared that the more he heard of such talks as Senator Allen's the firmer he became in the republican faith. The Union Pacific had a force of workmen fixing the platform of the old freight depot the first of the week, which probably means no new depot this year. Children Cry for Pitcher' Castorla. -asK8SS8 The city council met Friday even ing, pursuant to adjournment, but transacted no business, adjourning to October 23. Mr. Bnndy, a graduate from Wayne Normal school takes charge of the Gram mar department of the public schools at Humphrey. - Wo don't know of any republican who thinks of voting for Hensley just because he is a citizen of Columbus or Platte county. Reuben Lisco, sheriff of Duel coun ty, passed through here yesterday with a life prisoner for the state prison, sent up for murder. Senator Allen's talks, if they are all like what he gave hero Friday night, are calculated to make votes for tho repub licans, instead of the contrary. Don't bo deceived by the similarity of names, but bo sure to put your X opposite tho name of Gus. G. Becher, as a candidate for tho legislature. In the building formerly known as Rr.gatz' btonige house, William Becker has opened with a stock of baled hay and ground feed. Call and see him. Our patrons get through passenger trains, quick time via the Chicago, Union Pacific and Northwestern line to the principal cities east of the Missouri river. 8t Becher, Jaeggi & Co. insure build ings and personal property against fire, lightning and cyclones, in good and reliable companies at lowest current rale.. tf Judge Hensley and J. M. Gondring made political 6poeches Thursday even ing in Platte Center. They kept their tired listeners up until 12 o'clock, so we are told. Patrick Murray is seeding 100 acres to rye. Ho thinks that wo are to have a very heavy fall of snow early in tho win ter, and that it will stay with us during the season. Tun Journal job department is turning out an abundance of fine work, and competing with any office in the state in quality of material and neatness of designs. Tho Central City Republican says that many people are taking advantago of the dry condition of tho river bed to cut down and draw away the timber from the islands. P. J. Pitchford of Cedar Rapids was in tho city Thursday on his way to tho southeastern part of tho stale to look for some mortgaged horses that were run out of his county. Wo understand that tho bucket-shop has not yet paid its occupation tax of SKi, and business men aro beginning to query why they should pay, when engag ed in legitimato business. The democracy of Platte county aro not in a disposition to lose their party idontity, and to concede everything to tho populists. Scores of them will ro sent this notion by their voto at the pollf. L Sibberneen was in Boone county last week, and says that although tho crop failure was worse than in Platte, tho farmers have plenty of faith in the Nebraska soil and none but renters are leaing. Our Butler and Polk county readers will be interested to know that Chan cellor Crook of tho Wesleyan university, Lincoln, will deliver an address Dec. fi, before tho W. C. T. lT. county conven tion at Rising City. - A crowd of little folks gathered at the homo of V. N. Hensley Thursday evening in honor of Master Willie. Re freshments were served and an evening spent in games, which will bo remember ed pleasantly for a long time. J. B. Delsman's establishment on Eleventh street was closed Monday. Wo were not ablo to interview Mr. Dels man as to particulars, but his hosts of friends hope that ho may be able to re sume without serious interruption. John Stauffer raised some cotton this season here, and wo notice that a Sarpy county man has also raised some this season. Nebraska is a great state. Wo still have samples of cotton raised in this city by J. D. Brewer in 1870. Gus G. Becher's election seems now to be almost beyond peradventure, but it will be well for his friends not to re lax their efforts until tho polls are closed. Gus will make a good representative of the county's interests at the capital. Starting with Oct. 15th, 1S94, The Coltjjihcs JontNAii subscription rates are $1.50 a year, if paid in advance, otherwise $2.00 a year. Settlements up to that date must be made on the basis of the former rate. All premiums now advertised hold good. C. C. Carrig of Platte Center and Miss Lizzio Haney, daughter of John Haney, were married yesterday morning at tho Catholic church. Both the young people are well known in this county and have manv friends who will wish! them the best this world affords. Fred. Myers, a neighbor of Wm. Newman, was badly kicked by a horse Saturday morning, while feeding him. His right arm was broken just below tho shoulder, making a very painful injury. He came to tho city and Dr. Martyn gave him surgical attention. A dog bounced out from under a wagon Monday morning on L street and pretty nearly scared the life out of a child, only retreating at the approach of two men to the child's defence. We were informed that tho samo dog had attacked a small boy a few days ago. Tho Philharmonic society is taking a place in Columbus that promises to be well filled. The membership, already large, is increasing every week, and along with increasing numbers is added inter est, of conrse, in the exercises, the rehear sals and, we may presume, the prospect ive concerts. -Baker Post G. A. R., through a com mittee consisting of Comrades Brock, Tannahill and Rector, are endeavoring to procure tombstones for every grave of an old soldier in this section, and those interested in tho remotest way should communicate with tho members of this committee. W. T. Harris, a former resident of Rising, Butler county, recently shot and seriously wounded Dr. G. W. Corraan at Geneva, Nebr., the trouble between the two men originating from statements made concerning Mrs. Harris, who was also a former resident of Butler county, Miss Bessie, daughter of J. C. Paxton. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. The fire department has been sup plied with shut-off nozzles, so that now, in case of fire in any particular part of a building, the hose can be carried to the exact spot, and water applied where it is needed instead of scattering over every thing, right and left, as the hose is being carried. The Eastern Star lodge gave a pleas ant surprise in their hall Wednesday evening, in honor of Mrs. F. C. Green who moved to Lincoln Thursday. They enticed her to the hall and there pre sented her a beautiful gold souvenir spoon. Refreshments were served and a very pleasant evening had, D. C. Kavanaugh, sheriff of Platte county, was in Albion last Friday, after Albert Huntington, wanted in Columbus for committing a felonious assault upon tho person of John Hoglung, a resident of Platte county. Huntington has been hauling hay for Barney Plate for the past three weeks. Albion Argus. It was truly u sorry spectacle Fri day night to gaze on honest old John Powers, the pop idol, the man whom tho demo-pops refused to endorse, as he sat listening to Mr. Bryan talking fusion. The demo-pops swallowed everything but Honest John, and ho was too much for them. -Central City Nonpareil. The new diphtheria preventive, the application of blood serum, is receiving considerable attention in Europe; the French government has appropriated $20,000 for testing its efficiency. The treatment costs from $7 to $20 in each case, but if it should p rove effective, it will bo one more addition to the triumphs of the healing art. The vertical system or writing has been introduced into the Chicago public schools. The writer hereof has been practicing this system for some time, and finds several advantages in its favor, tho main ones being the natural posi tion of the body while writing, and the greater ease with which the work is done, compared with the slant system. J. C. Sprecher, the populist candi date for Btato senator from this district, called at The Joubnal sanctum Friday. He was on his way to Humphrey, where he was to speak that evening, then at Lindsay, and at Creston. Republicans in this contest must not lose sight of tho fact that their opponents are good campaigners, and that they aro making strong efforts for success. Hicks, the great weather prophet, was quoted as saying that next season not a tree would put forth a leaf in Ne braska. He has been inquired of par ticularly and replies that Nebraska will experience one of the most bountiful crops in the history of the state. Ac cording to Patrick Murray's forecast of much snow this winter, we are likely to havo good crops next summer. In tho stato assembly Murphy and Penney will make good companions of Gus G. Bechor, and theso districts may well feel proud in advance of the elec tion, over the prospect of sending three such good citizens and republicans to represent them in legislation for the stato and in casting three good, strong votes for a United States senator, who will work in the interests of the United States rather than England. It is strange, but it is true, never theless, that the average professional reformer, (and tho professional reformer is one who undertakes to re-construct other people, even before he has put himself into good working order), imag ines that tho universe of thought and emotion revolves around his personality as an nxis; the quality which he names nerve and courage, is more fitly denomi nated cheek and gall. Illusion is a pow erful force in nature. Miles Zentmyer, the democratic can didate for state senator for this district, was in tho city Monday, looking after his fences. We think the wires are down more than Miles has any notion of, and that in this year of demo-pop fusion and confusion he will be left in the shuffle. There aro a great many Bryan demo crats in this county who have a well settled conviction that Mr. Zentmyer is not, at heart, a Bryan man, and so will not give him their vote. Murphy, the republican candidate for senator, is a successful business man of Rogers; he is an ardent republican, an excellent citizen, and when he gets to Lincoln as the senator from Colfax and Platte counties, he will doubtless make his official career as successful for tho people's interest as his individual efforts have been for his own. Business integrity and a useful career as a private citizen are very good corner stones for the foundation of public service. Chris. Meedel is about as good a farmer as yon will find in this neck of woods anywhere, but the season was against him this year; on seventy-five acres to corn he gathered seventy-five bushels, so we are told byn traveler who passed his place the other day, who also says that this one little fact upsets the Omaha Bee's statement made after the hot Thursday in July that Nebraska this year would raise one hundred and twenty-five million bushels of corn. The Omaha World-Herald of Sun day has the following item concerning the man who stole from Dave Smith's establishment: "Joe Dilgers was arrest ed last night by Detectives Dunn and Donahue on the charge of grand larceny. About three weeks ago Joe was working in a bakery in Columbus, but as myste riously disappeared as did $60 worth of goods from Smith's store. Sheriff Kavanaugh informed the Omaha police, but Joe laid low and was not discovered until yesterday. He has confessed to the theft, Supervisors are to be elected this fall in Platte county for the following townships : Humphrey, Granville (to fill vacancy), Woodville, Burrows, Sherman, Shell Creek, Monroe, Columbus and Butler. The small pay attached to this office is one of the few indications that the people mean it to be an office of honor rather than of emolument, and in this light we now speak of it. The county board of supervisors is the legis lature for the county, so to speak, and somewhat more, for upon them greatly depends considerable of the executive function, and too much care cannot be exercised in the choice of those who are to manage your county affairs for you. Vote for na extra good man for super visor. AUIIlaAN VUMM Pitcher's Castorla. THURSTON COMING ! a: Next kk Nebraska's great apostle of the political gos pel of protection and sound governmental poli cies in general, will speak to his fellow-citizens of Columbus, and as many others as can get here at the opera house, at 2 o'clock next Tuesday after noon, October 30th. One rate for the round trip on the branch trains, and all trains held tor the speech. Many of you were disappointed in your wish to go to Lincoln or to Omaha to hear Thurston, who is regarded as one of the best political orators in the nation; now, get your families into your vehicles and bring them in to hear him. They will enjoy the holiday, and you will all enjoy the speech. There aro always somo who havo such easy-going political consciences that thoy can bring themselves to sup port an opponent for an important office, simply on the ground of personal friend ship or because ho is a neighbor or fellow-citizen through considerations of locality alone. Your vote should voice your political, not your private, senti ments, and the man who represents what you believe ought to be the policies of our governments, national, state and municipal, should receive your support. Warden Wolfers, of tho Stillwater, Minn., state penitentiary, says the Fre mont Tribune, loft for home today. While hero he mado a contract for the entire output of the Nebraska Binder Twino company's product of hemp tow, from this year's crop, estimated to be something like 1,000,000 pounds. This will be manufactured into binder twine by the convicts in the Minnesota peni tentiary and will bo sold to the farmers of that state. The contract is regarded by the twine company as being a fair one for them. Tuesday night of last week a special train was run to Monroo to the republi can rally at that place. -There wero about 70 went up from here, headed by Columbus drum corps. Tho train was met at the depot by the Monroe cornet band, and a torchlight procession formed and marched to the hall. Matthews of Fremont took tho place of Summers, who was sick, and he pleased almost tho entire audience. The hall was altogether too small for the crowd, there being COO or 700 in attendance, and C. A. Woosley gave the overflow meeting a talk. There was great enthusiasm. Gus. G. Becher knows the needs of Platte county people, has an extensive acquaintance throughout tho state, and will, as soon as he enters the legislature, bo regarded as a man of influence upon the legislation of the state. In matters of revenue there are always acts pro posed that should be very closely scru tinized before they are allowed to pass; many a good suggestion is mado but some so crudely presented that it would bo disastrous to adopt them. A man of affairs, Gus. G. Becher would be careful to notice objectionable measures, and throw his influence against their adop tion. Stuttering is an inconvenient and worrying impediment at times to the sufferer, but often of considerable amuse ment to by-standers. Charlio Morse tells an incident on his way down from Sioux City one day last week. At Madison a man hurriod into the ticket-oflice just as the train was ready to start, to pur chase a ticket. With his request, he got as far as "Give me a ticket to" and to save his neck he couldn't jerk out another word. Conductor Overton told the man not to get excited, that ho would wait for him. "Oh go ahead," he said, "yon'll get there before I can tell where I want to go." Leonard, a member of tho state hor ticultural society of Lancaster county, reports that tho flat-headed borer is doing greater damage to young orchards this fall than at any time during the past twenty-five years. Prompt and thorough action may save your orch ards. He says the remedy is to cut out the borers, and where the insect has embedded itself deeply in the bodies of the tree to follow up the excavation with small wire probe; then cover the wound with mineral paint made as thick as it can be spread with a small brush. Pure linseed oil thickened with oxide of iron makes the most practical paint he has found. The Bell wood Gazette says that Joe Wilson of Summit township saw a man with the aid of a couple of dogs trying to capture 6ome of his shoats. Wilson armed himself and started for the seat of trouble, but the fellow, seeing him, jumped into his wagon and made his escape northward; that about the middle of last week, either Tuesday or Wednes day, a gentleman named Blashka living a short distance this side of Columbus, killed a yearling heifer, hung it up and when dark came thought he would let it hang out all night in order to keep it cool; but next morning about half of the yearling was gone. Mr. Blashka thought he would let the remainder stay out another night and perhaps the thief would come come back after it and sure enough he did; but when he got started with his load on his back Blashka fired into him, when the thief fell; but afterwards struggled to his feet and made good his escape. The next day a fellow was noticed making his way to a Columbus physician with some of his limbs in a shattered condition. X m 7 :r 30, 1 We congratulate the people of Ful lerton and Nance county on tho good judgment manifested in the nomination of Frank Ponnoy as float representative from this district. Mr. Penney is a suc cessful business man who by his long and honorable course in our midst has won the esteem and confidence of the entire community. He is recoguized as conservative in business and in politics; level headed and intelligent. Just such a man as anyone would be willing to trust to manage his personal affairs and such as one would feel safe to trust in the management of the affairs of state. If we elect Frank Penney we shall have reason to be proud of our representative. Fullerton Journal. M. Jerome has his hemp factory erected in the northwestern part of the city, with boiler-house and office, and so soon as there is moisture enough for retting tho hemp, they will be ready to start up work. Talking of moisture he says that in plowing this fall (and they go down seven inches), they find quite a bit of moisture this in valley soil. His experience with deep plowing and sub soiling has been favorable; on soil stirred to the depth of 12 inches he has known a crop of 100 bushels of corn to the acre. One of the greatest good effects of deep plowing is that the air penetrates tho soil to greater depth, and so many of our crops draw a considera ble portion of their nutriment from the atmosphere. Deep plowing seems to bring added strength and life to tho soil, and almost insures good crops in any season. The following from the Platte Cen ter Argus shows that there, as well as elsewhere, although a creek runs through the midst of the place, some systematic means of obtaining water to quench fire should bo provided, so that very valua bio buildings might be saved in case a fire should get started with high wind: "A little boy with a little match and a largo sized straw pile caused no little excitement and a great deal of hard work Monday afternoon about 4:30. Wm. Bloedorn had several tons of straw stack ed near his barn which he intended to feed to his horses and cows this winter but tho small boy thought a little excite ment at a tinio liko this was worth more than a fow hungry horses, and he pro ceeded to touch off the match and the thing was done. Immediately the alarm was given and about a hundred men with as many buckets wero on hand in the shortest possible time, and by hauling tho water from the creek the fire was soon under control." A. L. Bixby, formerly of this city, now at work on the Lincoln Journal, has this to say of Spackman, whom he well knew when he lived at Fullerton: "By a piece of rank deception E. B. Spackman worked the unwashed of Platte county into indorsing him for the legislature. He told them that in fact ho was a Jeffersonian democrat of long standing and always looked with suspi cion on any man who was not a Jefferso nian democrat. Old settlers of Fuller ton and Nance county will not have to tax their memories to call to mind the time when "3pack" sifted in from Penn sylvania and declared upon the house tops and hilltops that he was ready to eat any man raw who did not believe in Jim Blaine and a high protective tariff. He wanted to go to the legislature right away, but somehow his personal magnet ism drove people away rather than attracting them to him, and this is the first time he has obtained even a glimpse of the land of promise. The process of evolution in his case is full of metaphy sical surprises. Giving the impression that his convictions were solid as the rock of Gibraltar, in the short period of fourteen years he has advocated every ism on every side of every political sub ject that political economists have had under consideration in the last fifty years. He has argued in favor of high tariff, low tariff and no tariff; hard money, soft money, fiat and where am I at. He has favored high license, low license, no license and prohibition. To day he is opposed to prohibition because he is after the foreign vote of Platte county. Ho has been steadfast and con sistent in but one thing. He despises the Christian religion, denies the exist ence of a Supreme Being and scoffs at the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. In that particular he hangs on like a dog to a root and refuses to sur render an iota of the conviction that annihilation is the end of man. In all else he has tried by various confessions of faith to get into the swim, and thinks right now that he has a lead pipe cinch on gobs of glory, with $5 per diem and mileage thrown in. Can Platte and Nance counties afford to shoulder the responsibility of inflicting that sort of timber upon the state? Are great inter ests safe in the hands of a man who is a Pennsylvania republican one day, a Bill Dech pop the next, a Jeffersonian demo crat the next and thedevilknowswhat the next? There ought to be posted all over both counties, that he who runs may read, this kindly admonition to all men, regardless of pwty: Bwr of Snck!"' Dctob PERSONAL. J. C. Fillmau went up to Albiou Wed nesday. Frank Coffey went up to Platte Cen ter Friday. Mrs. J. S. llenrich was in Platte Cen ter Friday. Mrs. J. A. Kehoe of Platte Ceuter was in town Friday. Miss May Bouton visited relatives in Lincoln last week. Charles Getz of Osceola visited friends here, over Sunday. Mrs. Smith of Clarks, visited Mrs. J. B. Geitzen last week. Wm. Delsman, brother of J. B., of St. Paul, Neb., is in the city. Mrs. Q. W. Brown upturned to her home at Cedar Rapids Saturday. Miss Carrie Garlow of Harlan, Iowa, is visiting her cousin, C. J. Garlow. Brad. Slaughter of Fullerton was in the city Monday on his way to Omaha. Miss Alice Wilson of Fremont was in the city Thursday on her way to Ge noa. Misses Lena and Anna Geitzen return ed from an extended trip to Wisconsin, Chicago and other places, where they have visited since last July. Milt Speice of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, who arrived in the city last Wednesday, accompanied by his son, started yester day morning on his return home. Mr. und Mrs. Herman Oehlrich re turned Wednesday last from Europe, where they had been several months. They encountered a storm at sea, but had a splendid time generally on their trip. Many Ycara Aro. Twenty-four years-ago, this week, the following were among things referred to in The Journal: Death of Joseph Garrard at his resi dence Monroe, aged 71 years. Judge Fant will drive twelve thousand head of cattle into Nebraska next season. M. Keller weighing 21 pounds. fnrnishos a cabbage head pounds und a beet 18 Markets: Wyoming coal $9; Becker's flour $2.75; sugar 15) to 18c; bntter 20 to 30c; eggs 25c; coal oil 40c. S. C. Smith and a Pawnee Indian have a "scrap" about the Indian's ponies run ning over Mr. Smith's corn field. The first bridge over the Platte river, called by the Omaha Herald the Pioneer bridge, in course of construction. It is thought by some of our farmer friends that Nebraska soil is well adapted to growing the sugar beet. Boll of honor from the public school grammar department, include Josephine Bremer, Rosa Rickly, Sarah Rice, Phebe Senecal and Mary Weaver. Keatskatoose raises on one acre of last year's breaking, cross-plowed this spring, 500 bushels of potatoes, at an ex pense for seed, weeding and gathering of S20 only. Esq. Shannon says that chunks of coal have been found in Skull Creek south of Columbus, and that a company has been -formed for the purpose of mining. They have begun to sink a shaft so that they will know before long whether coal may be had in abundance. Snp't. Rothleitner visited schools in the southern and western parts of the county last week. He says that the attendance this fall is about twice what it usually is this time of year; that the older pupils are turning out in force many from sixteen to twenty years old, and some as high as twenty-three; many of the school houses are proving alto gether too small for the additional pupils. The superintendent says that there is in all ways a marked increase of interest in the county on school matters, not alone as to actual work that teachers are doing, but also as to the care of grounds and school properties, making houses comfortable and attractive, and providing things needed for school work and so on. There is one thing that The Journal wishes to call attention to, and this is probably as good a place as any, and that is that among the first duties of a school board is to provide for the com fort of the pupils, which means warmth for the winter months. The ordinary country school house is a frame building set on posts, and doubtless a number of them in this as in other counties are, underneath, open to the weather, which we all know, is a sure plan to secure cold feet in winter time. In all such cases a very few dollars and a few hours' work would shut out the winds and help to render the houses comfortable. There is no good oxcuse for neglect in such matters. Teachers' Association. The first meeting of the association for this school year, will be held at the High school building this city, Satur day Nov. 3, beginning at 10 a. m. Snp't Rothleitner is doing everything in his power to make the meeting a striking success, and judging from the program, we should say that those in attendance (which should include all tho teachers and as many ordinary citi zens as can find tho time), will be amply repaid. The papers to be read are, in their order: The Teacher's Calling by L. H. Leavy; Musetta Wheeler; Use of Text Books by W. A.

Editor Journal: As an interested citizen I desire to call attention to the fact that oar sewer system might be ex tended with benefit to the city and to all concerned, so as to include the high school premises; also that the high school and the First ward school could, with advantage, be connected with the waterworks system of the city. Some time, doubtless, both these improve ments will be brought about, and why not in the near future, so that those more directly concerned can have the benefits that accrue from cleanliness and good water, and have them now?
