Night and darkness are behind, You can't help but notice Galley's attractive advertisement in today's Journal. He always has something of interest to say to the public, and in making any purchases you are sure of getting goods as represented, and as cheap as they can be sold for. Last Thursday's Norfolk News con tains the following: Arthur Overton, the young son of Conductor Steve Overton, is seriously ill with the grippe, with indications of pneumonia. His condition was such that Mr. Overton did not go out on his run today.

Carl Kramer was always one of the most active members of the school board, doing all that he could possibly to bnild up the schools, and make them of greater interest to the pupils. With Carl, it was a labor of love, and his visits were made to the schools because it was a delight for him to do so. He will give the same thoughtful care again.

Rossiter, Miss Abbio Hurd, Miss Mary Turner, Mrs. Brindley, G. A. Schroeder and Mrs. Warren. Over ten dollars was cleared for tho "boys" in helping pay expenses. One of the signs of the times as regards tho initiation of moro diversified agriculture in this portion of the state is fonnd in the fact that one gentleman at North Loup has undertaken to raise several acres of vine seeds for a Sioux City seed firm, and another has just re ceived a proposition from a prominent seed firm of Rochester, N. Y., relative to raising 225 pounds of tomato seeds. L. A. Wiley, the republican candi date for councilman for the Second ward, is the well-known groceryman on Olive street, and one of the most generous hearted men in the city. While he would be economical of the city's money, he would be in favor of no penny-wise, pound-foolish policy give every man his due, all that justly belongs to him. Mr. Wiley will, when elected, give his best attention to the office, to which his fel low-citizens intend electing him. Julius Krueger, says the Humphrey Democrat, died at his home in this city, Tuesday afternoon, March 19, 1895, at the age of 62 years and 16 days, death being caused by consumption. Deceas ed was an old settler of Platte county, and was a member of the G. A. R post at Columbus, members of that organiza tion here performing their last sad duties to their comrade. The deceased leaves a family consisting of a wife and three children. Funeral services were held Wednesday at the German Baptist church. forgetting Several farmers hereabouts are feed ing cottonseed meal to their stock, and claim that cattle like it and fatten on it as readily- as corn. It is a great deal cheaper. We noticed several wagon loads going out into the country last Friday. Madison Chronicle. We find the following going the round of exchanges, but cannot vouoh for the truth of it: " "Wood Houseman went down from Genoa to Columbus to meet his bride and get married. The girl, however, did not see him when his train arrived, and went forward to Genoa, while Wood hung around Columbus for two days before he discovered what had hap pened. They eventually were married, however." O. C. Shannon, the republican can didate for city clerk, handles the pen of a ready writer, and it is safe to say would dispatch business at a lively rate. During the sessions of the city council, much of the time is engaged in reading the minutes, and with one who would do this rapidly and yet accurately, the business of the council would be fur thered considerably. It is probably not too much to say that no man ever occu pied the office who made a better clerk than Mr. Shannon will make. Thursday afternoon last during the sand storm the U. P. branch train to Cedar Rapids was stopped near Belgrade several hours by a sand drift that was packed over the tracks like a bed of mortar. The engine ran through the mass quite a distance before it was 'stopped, when it was discovered to be off the track and some little damage done to its pilot, etc. The wrecking train was called to the scene of the acci dent, put things to rights and brought the damaged engine down Friday morn ing, and thence to Omaha for repairs. M. Whitmoyer, the republican can didate for councilman in the Third ward, is an expert in the law-making business, f and has served his ward before in the city council, giving most excellent satis faction. It goes without saying that ho will be a competent, pains-taking coun cilman, always wide-awake to the inter ests of the city and to all of them. Such a man, a largo proporty owner himself, and in a business that brings him in constant contact with people of all classes and conditions, he is fitted by education and native ability to make one of the very best conncilmen the city has ever had. Let there be no mistake made in regard to aid for seed and grain. There is no charity or no donation your fellow-citizens are to furnish you seed for sowing and for feeding your work horses, until you raise a crop of corn or oats. When you raise a crop, you pay your loan, and everybody will be glad to see you prosper, as you never did before. Let us all do tho best we can. Those of us who have land more than we need to work ourselves, let us be as liberal as possible in seeing that it is utilized for tho good of tho country. Let us not leave anything undone that will bring us prosperity. We can all help a little. George Spooner, a former citizen of this city, now of Denver, arrived here Friday last and will remain several days. In a conversation with him he said he never saw such depression in all kinds of business as the people in the west are now experiencing. About four weeks ago lie was in Sacramento, California, and at one five-cent soup houso there were 1,500 men waiting to got their frugal meal, a good many not having the nickel to pay were set to work chopping kindling wood. In Denver a good many unemployed men are "washing up" the sands of Cherry creek, from which they get of the precious metal upwards of fifty cents per day. J. H. Galley, republican candidate for councilman of the First ward, has served his constituents tho past year with perfect satisfaction, looking after every interest of the city entrusted to his care, with close fidelity. He attends to city affairs just the same as he does his own, promptly and thoroughly, giving the same his individual attention, neg lecting or slighting nothing the least. Mr. Galley is very thorough in every thing ho undertakes, and his work on the council has commended itself to all the members who have worked with him in either committee or full council. A vote for Mr. Galloy, will be a vote for honest, capablo public work, just such as you would like to see all the time, by all officials. The republican party is a practical party, believes in common-sense me thods. The head of tho ticket, W. A. McAllister, candidate for mayor, has had ample experience in city legislation, and understands all the ins and outs of our city government, from the sweeping of a street crossing to the looking after the financial interests of tho city, and no dollar will be allowed to wander out of its place. Unlike the democratic party, the republicans do not trafHc in idols, their candidates are made of the self same clay that ordinary mortals are made of, just the same material; even onr mayor, while a man well informed in ever' particular, having lived in Ne braska all his life and grown up with the growth of the people of the sate, would resent any idea of superiority from other officials. No idols here. J. S. Freeman was at Fremont Thurs day in the interest of the Iowa. Lake Superior and Gulf Railroad Company. An organization was effected with J. S. Freeman as president. It is proposed that the Nebraska company take the road from where it is built from Bolivar to Beaumont, Texas, and from there the line is to run through Nebraska, to Dakota. It is said the Nebraska divis ion will not run east of Arlington, nor west of the Sixth principal meridian. It is a little strange that the ordinary means of building railroads are not taken in thie case. Long before this, the air would havo been vocal with high-sounding praises of the new railroad, its far reaching effects on traffic, and what it might reasonably be expected to bring in to tho various cities along its route, but there has been nothing of this at all. This is the railroad that The Journal described at length about fifteen months ago when Mr. Rundell of Wayne was here, and set the scheme forth at the Maennerchor hall. It is intended to make this railroad a working model of the Golden rule, from first to last every thing according to the priaciple of right between man and man. Can't we help Mr. Freeman to bnild his road, and help build it throggh Platte county? A W S I HATE A LARGE STOCK of my own growing, of the following varieties.

Wo clip the following from the Des Moines Daily News of March 21st: Mrs. Nira George, wife of Thomas George, died this morning at i o'clock at the family residence, No. 821 West Nine teenth street, after an illness of about two weeks, la grippe developing into pneumonia. Mrs. George was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Moore and was born at Granville, Licking county. Ohio, 57 years ago, and lived thereuntil her marriage in 1857, when she removed to Cadiz, Ohio, which was tho family home until 18C4, when they removed to Eddyville, Iowa. Thoy cnico to Des Moines in 1867 and havo liwd here ever since. The husband, two sons and a daughter survive her, tho children being Russell and Oscar Georgo and Mrs. J. A. Dyer. Mrs. George died strong in the Christian faith. Relatives in Ohio have been notified and the funeral will bo held tomorrow at 3 o'clock. The Omaha Herald of tho 21st says tho motion for the now trial in the Ryan will contest has been filed. Besides the usual run of alleged errors, on account of which the new trial is asked, especial exception is taken to instruction No. 9, relating to the wills of priests made since tho passage of the Baltimore decree, a translation of which was pub lished a few days ago. The jury broke the will of the priest and it is claimed this instruction, which has an important bearing on ecclesiastical law, was largely instrumental in affecting their decision. In giving the instruction the court held that any law, rule, recommendation or exhortation of any church or other organization of which the testator may be a member which limits his freedom of action or puts him under any control, moral or religious, in tho bestowal of his property, constitutes undue influence. Tho judge referred to the Baltimore decree and said that if the jury found this had that influence or was binding on tho priest the will must bo broken.
