Platte county's peculiar politics has
been costing Platte county tax-payers
too much money, and if the board of sup
ervisors will look to it; investigate it as
they would their own private business;
give all officials to understand that they
are the servants of the people and not
their masters; that the same business
principles must be applied to country
affairs as are or ought to be to personal
ones, there would be a lower rate of taxation.
David Thomas called at these head
quarters Wednesday to renew his sub

very nervy. Last night they went to
Jacob Hand's slaughter house near the

is not known. Fremont Tribune.

It bits a Nebraska man just as it hits
other men, and hits him hard. The
Beaver Crossing Review, south of us a
few scores of miles, has this paragraph:
"Comrade J. W. Draper, living four miles
norineast of the Crossing, in K town,
who is so blind that he is barely able to
feed himself, heard from Hoke Smith,
last Tuesday, and had his pension of
eight dollars per month suspended, being
allowed thirty days in which to show
reason why it should not be permanently
stopped. Comments are unnecessary.
Actions speak louder than words and
have done so all through Mr. Cleveland's
administration."
It is the duty of the merchant hav
ing goods to sell to advertise them in the
newspaper which makes his town a place
worth doing business in, says the Omaha
Herald. If a merchant in another town
has the good sense to advertise in a news
paper, it is the publisher's duty to accept
such patronage. If the home merchant
desires to hold this trade let him adver
tise liberally in his home paper and he
will hold it. The merchant who does
not think enough of "home institutions"
to patronize his homo paper, does not
conduct a "home institution" himself
and is not entitled to "home patronage."

Columbus is now agitating the
atmosphere for a normal school. Albion
never did want anything but what some
other town had to jump in and try to
carry off the plum.
The Albion Argus, from which the
above is quoted, must remember that
Columbus came near being tho capitol
of tho stato of Nebraska, long before
Albion was thought of as a town (so near
and yet so far), and we may very reason
ably be excused for indulging in the
hope of securing a state normal school.
As this is the customary week for
making new resolutions, just read some
that Bishop Beveridge made two hun
dred years ago: "I am resolved, by the
grace of God, never to speak much, lest
I often speak too much, and not to speak
at all, rather than to speak to no pur
pose. Always to make my tongue and
heart go together, so as never to speak
with the one what I do not think in the
other. To speak of other men's sinB
only before their faces and of their
virtues only behind their backs."
Mrs. Geo. Barnum received the sad
news of tho death of her mother, Mrs. L.
S. Kimball, on Christmas morning, from
Van Wyck, Idaho. Deceased was a resi
dent of Polk county for fourteen years;
moved with her husband and two young
est sons to Van Wyck, Idaho, nine years
ago. Died Dec. 10, 1894, aged a3 years
and seven months. For her many esti
mable traits of character she was loved
and respected by her neighbors, who
deeply sympathize with her aged hus
band and family in their irreparable loss.
Fremont is quite a city in several
ways, and has the reputation of being
one of the prettiest in the state. Among
its possessions is an indebtedness that,
in times like these, is quite an offset to
its many advantages. It owes, in thous
ands of dollars, 89 in water bonds, 38 for
paving, 15 for city hall, 10 for court
house, 80 for 6ewer, and curbing bonds
enough to bring it up to 8233,265, the
annual interest charge of which amounts
to S12,905. Besides this large indebted
ness, the Fremont Bchool district has
835,000 in bonds outstanding. Quite
a city.

We notico that some of tho county
clerks put into their supplies notice, a
request for bids on all the lines of job
work required for the county, including
the thousands of official and sample bal
lots called for under the Australian bal
lot law. instructions to voters, court
dockets, documents for county superin
tendent, "and all such other miscellane
ous job work as may be needed by the
county officers during the ensuing year."
Also for the printing and publication of
legal notices and other legal printing
required by law to be printed and pub
lished, bids confined to newspapers
printed and published in the county. In
these there are some good suggestions
to our board of supervisors. Take the
reins in your own hands, and drive your
own team. If not, why not?

A woman with two small children on
her way from Chicago to Denver, was
put off the train at this city Saturday
night. She had been robbed of her
money and tickets while riding through
Iowa, but was brought on to Council
Bluffs. From Council Bluffs she was
transported to North Bend, and then was
suddenly notified by the conductor that
she could ride no farther. Boggs & Fix,
the hospitable proprietors of the Hack
ney House, took care of her until Mon
day noon, when she was furnished, by
Mayor Day, with transportation to Den
ver. Mr. Day solicited money among the
business men to buy her a ticket to
Denver. The woman was an honest, in
telligent and respectable looking person,
and those who interviewed her did not
doubt the truth of her story. fNorth

They are visiting relatives and friends
at Platte Center. John G. is son of
Michael Maher, one of Platte county's
oldest and best farmers, and he and Mr.
Morrissey have been a number of years
in business at Chadron. That is quite a
flourishing town in north Nebraska an
excellent business, a splendid line of
buildings (having abundant building
stone within a few miles), and a number
of new enterprises projected, among
which are a beet-sugar factory, the soil
having shown that it contains a great
abundance of saccharine, a considerable

showed the greatest of talent.
Carl Rhode had a runaway, after dark

friends here of the bride, whose gentle
goodness and native nobility of charac
ter won her friends in all her acquaint
ances. "At the home of Mr. and Mrs.

Gertrude E. Carlyon and Mr. George C.
Hinton, both of Victoria, B. C, were

performed at 1 o'clock by Rev. Mr. Jos
lyn, of the Methodist church. The bride

rations of ivy, vines and chrysanthe
mums gave the house a very attractive
appearance, and after the ceremony,
which was witnessed only by tho imme
diate relatives, an elegant dinner was
served. The bride was the recipient of
many handsome gifts. Mrs. Hinton is
the sister of Fred and Dr. P. H. Carlyon,

the past five months, during which time
she has gathered around her a large
circle of friends. Tho groom is a prom

Two Marguerite's,
was a sweet happy mito
One was a sweet happy mito with
dancing ringlets, and 'witching eyes with
glint of diamonds; with a smile like a
summer sunbeam, with a laugh like the
gurgle of a brook dashing seaward over
its bed of rocks. Flowers! she loved
them. Tho iosos wero her especial de
light. Tho livelong day sho loved to
wander among them.
Always happy, never still. Sho was
her mother's joy and hope. Her father's
pride. This dear, sweot. little Marguerite.
And there was another child, but oh,
so unlike the first. So cold and still in
the silence of tho eternal sleep sho lay,
with the dampness of death upon tho
fair little face.
Closed the pretty azuro oyes, never
again to open and leam in gladness 'till
the morning when the mists shall clear
away, and the blessed sunlight falls in a
shower of glory upon tho walls of jasper.
But the sweet smile remained as of
yore, and hovered faintly 'round the
mute lips, tho lips that nover again on
earth shall open. Folded across tho
still breast wero tho little hands, while
tho tiny waxen fingers grasped, as in
days gone by, ono of tho roses she loved
so well.
Round the forehead of marblo clus
tered tho auburn curls, wet with the
tears of agony that fell from tho oyes of
tho sorrowing mother, who in dim dark
ness watched tho little spirit forsako its
fair habitation.
But it is over, and tho cold, cruel clods
are falling on the flower-bedecked coffin,
whilo a strong man v.mnnurs "Decs io
vult," and tho dews fall; where tho
flowers bloom, and tho zephyrs whisper
a requiem; whero the birds carrol sweet
est song3 through tho branches, a posey
strewn mound marks tho spot whero
quiet, oh! so quiet, reposes tho other
Marguerita.

And who shall say that beyond tho
border line there is not a fairer land than
this? Priests and preachers may err in
their description, but away out some
where in tho great white eternity, whero
the fields aro ever green in tho nover
ending May time, whero tho rippling
waters plash over the pebbles of silver, a
little child wanders 'mid tho flowers sho
loved, and angels guide her through the
everlasting gardens, as she listens to the
low sweet melodies of heaven.
But bye and byo tho little spirit will
weary, and will long for a familiar face,
and then a white form will walk down to
the gates of tho city, and tiny hands will
swing tho portals of pearl on their hinges
of gold, and across tho river will como a

"At the meeting of the directors of

years of its existence, entitling Mr.
Clemmons to have tho Normal property
deeded to him. The necessary papers
are being made out that will make Prof.
Clemmons the owner of this magnificent
property." The above is from the West
Point Republican, and reminds us of the
day when Prof. Jones landed in Colum
bus to talk to our citizens of starting
here a Normal school. That same even
ing 80,000 was raised by subscriptions
for the project, but Fremont offered
better inducements and more of them,
and Prof. Jones went there and organ

one of the best institutions she has ever

Tho Woman's State Federation has
already shown vitality enough to be
counted upon as an important (and per
chance a very important), featuro in our

political interests. Local clubs are being
organized in the principal cities and
towns of Nebraska, and as a matter of
course, Columbus will soon be among
the list. A model home is an earthly
paradise, but there is no safety to the
home, so long as outside influences for
the bad are permitted to dominate and
interfere with or destroy the work of the
mothers in tho home. Moral integrity,
the stamina of individual character, and
that without which a community lacks
wholesomo life, is the chief glory of
woman, her real life and beauty and
wealth of character, and without her
gentle, heart presence in the world it
would indeed be a sorry place. Occupa
tions that fifty years ago were not open
to her at all, aro now as froo to her as
they are to her fellow man, and she has
demonstrated in many ways her right to
place, to occupations, to wages, to self-
help, independent action, self-respect and
progress.

We must not forget a joke on one of

in The Journal, James Galley came to
a paragraph telling about William
Hoeffelman starting a blacksmith shop
on Seventh street. Mrs. Hoeffelman
had been in Mr. Galley's store during
the day, but Mr. Galley had not heard
about the new shop, and he (in an un
guarded moment) uttered tho thought
that The Journal was surely off its
reckoning this time. "Oh, ho!" said
