Anson Connor has left with us a
dozen specimens of young Russian
thistle plants three to four inches high,
found growing in wheat and oats fields.
With the naked eye the barbs can be
seen on the stem of the plants, and, un

plainly visible. It is hard to tell what
to do with tho pests. Certainly, every
one of them should be destroyed, but
how?
E. D. Fitzjiatrick is in possession of
a queer specimen of a radish. No doubt
the radish intended growing like any
other long radish, bnt instead it
branched off and formed the shape of a
human hand, with a thumb and four
fingers. In order to preserve it, it was
put in alcohol which turned it a whitish
yellow and shriveled it up, making it
look exactly like a young dead child's
hand.

Rov. Elliott has been prevailed upon
to remain three months longer as pastor
of the Presbyterian church. At the
ministers' meeting Monday morning Dr.
Elliott told of a dream he had once
about preaching the funeral sermon of a
man, and of afterward meeting the man
who hai risen from his coffin and ex
postulating with him for rising after his
sermon had been preached. He went
on to say that the resolutions recently
passed about his leaving, placed him in
the position of the man in his dream.
The Platte Center Signal, quoting a
squib from The Joubjjal, says "it's too
early to talk county politics now, but a
little thinking is not out of place." If
we would be allowed a suggestion we
might say that a "little thinking" will
not reform Platte county politics. It
will take a good deal of thinking, and
also a good deal of talking and working,
and this ought to be going on all the
time, by the people. The fellows who
wish' to secure the offices, are not idle by
any means, neither should the people
be. The Signal's advice is not sound.
Saturday afternoon at the Congre
gational church, Rev. H. O. Scott of
Hastings will give an address before the
Christian Endeavor convention of the
Fifth district. Saturday evening and
Sunday afternoon there will be interest
ing programs. Sunday evening a grand
mass meeting at the opera house. No
Sunday evening service in the Baptist,
Methodist, Congregational, Presbyter
ian, Episcopal or German Reformed
churches. Come to the opera house.
All are cordially invited to all the meet
ings of the convention. This district
convention includes eight counties.
W. A McAllister goes around with
his left hand in a sling and the reason of
it is that Thursday last the girl of the
kitchen, in building the fire in the cook
ing range, poured some gasoline from
the can, and noticing the instant effect,
she, with remarkable quick-thoughted-ness,
before the blaze got into the can,
let it drop into the water pail. When
Mac got to the scene, the blaze at the
stove reached the ceiling and the gas
was burning on the surface of the water
in the pail. He got the pail out of the
house, all right, but, in the mix-up his
hand was considerably hurt and he will
have a new coating to look at as a re
minder of the day when bis servant, his
house and his family narrowly escaped
serious low and injury.
One of our prominent citizens ob
jects strenuously to being charged in
full for water, when often the pressure
will not send it more than eight feet
from the end of the nozzle, when it
should be twenty. If the city has a
right to shut off a portion of the pres
sure, he thinks he ought to be allowed
to shut off a corresponding portion of
the pay. '
There were several people in attend
ance on 'the show Thursday. It is said
that it was a good show for a quarter;
but then you can't expect much of a
show for twenty-five cents. This re
minds of the old fellow who drank some
cider that his entertainer had presented
him, and when asked how he liked it,
there waB a brief contest between his
honesty and his politeness, but he nev
ertheless declared that "it was good
enough, what there was of it, and there
was plenty of it such as it wasl"
H. J. Hudson was at Silver Creek
several days last week, and narrowly
escaped serious injury, at least, if not
death, while attending an ice-cream
social. He had taken his third spoonful
of ice cream, when he felt a foreign sub
stance trying to go down his throat, but
which had lodged across it Placing a
finger well down and pressing, he deftly
flung the intruder out a stud with a
round head on it, which, if it had gone
further, might have caused him to "fare
worse. Mr. Hudson says that he saw
growing corn along the road, a foot high,
While near by farmers were planting
corn with a lister.
Recent reports of decisions in the
supreme court of the state say that "the
conviction of the Hatty Wright woman
in Platte county is affirmed." The main
points of the decision are: Evidence ex
amined and held to sustain a conviction
under section 210, criminal code, for the
knowingly, owning, using and occupy
ing of a house in this state for the pur
pose of prostitution. To the
district court and not to this has been
entrusted the power to impose sentence
for tho commission of offenses against
the laws of the state, and the judgments
of that court will not be interfered with
on the ground that they are excessive in
tho absence of a clear abuse of discretion.
The program of the graduating ex
ercises of the 9th grade of the public
schools has been arranged. The exer
cises will take place at the opera house
Wednesday evening, May 29, 1895. Each
of tho eighteen members of the class
has prepared an oration or essay but
owing to the length of time necessary to
render such a program, it has been de
cided to have only six of the written
productions, interspersed with music
and recitations. Pupils were not se
lected for the program with regard to
merit, some whose class standing was
quite high not being on the. program.
Tho 9th grade has completed all the
studies required for second-grade certi
ficates. D. C. Owen, who lives two miles
southwest of Duncan, was in the city
Saturday. He says that the frost of the
night before did some damage to early
vegetables in their neighborhood; the
tips of corn blades were wilted, but al
together the frost was not so bad as last
year. He had a smudge around his po
tatoes, and they were not hurt. Joseph
Hauser, five miles south of the city said
that corn 'in his neighborhood was
wilted lo tho ground, and cabbage and
potatoes touched; water in the horse
trough had a covering of ice in the
morning. Wm. Gerhold says that his
corn, in the Shell Creek valley, was not
hurt, but on tho table land coming this
way, it didn't look good.
A letter received from Robert
Compton, dated at High Point, Georgia,
May 8, says: "Everything seems to be
booming in Georgia. I have made in
quiry of parties that had lived in the
section of the Montgomery county colony
land, and they inform me that the land
is some of the very best, easy to work,
and will grow any kinds of crops except
wheat. Fruit of all kinds can be raised;
water good and climate healthful. This
is a land of plenty, plenty of rain, plenty
to eat, plenty of work. All is well that
ends well." The Jourxai. does not
believe there is a better all-round state
than Nebraska, one year with another.
Of course, there aro places where tho
temperature is more evenly, but for
general purposes Nebraska is hard to
equal.
Thomas Flynn, Jim Kelly and James
Martin, who, after a little thought con
cerning the matter, gave their residences
as Genoa, Licking, O., and Clinton, la.,
were taken up as vagrants, and put to
work, with a ball and chain attachment,
in Frankfort park. If the city has to
feed them, the city thinks their food will
taste better to them, if they do a little
labor between meals; besides, it is bet
ter to enjoy the free air of heaven under
the spreading branches of even such
shade trees as we have than to be con
fined within the small space of the city
lock-up, and have no sweet song of the
birds to beguile away the weary hours.
The city gets vexed when these fellows
have no money to pay fines, but seem to
be able some way to get enough funds
to make their breaths weighty and very
offensive with liquor. The ball and
chain is of course attached when the
city does not wish its guests to escape.
We are in receipt of a communica
tion from the secretary of a Nebraska
college faculty, telling us that they are
getting up supplement sheets, the first
object of which is to advertise their col
lege, the second to spread useful infor
mation (on one-half the sheet), and
wanting to know on what conditions
they could supply us with the supple
ments for our Journal circulation. The
United States postal authorities .hold
that supplements are a constituent part
of the newspaper, and may be all adver
tisements, all reading matter or mixed;
that the advertisements must be charged
at the same rates as in the regular issue,
otherwise it would be a violation of law
to circulate through the mails, free
within the county of publication of the
paper, and at a low rate outside of that.
A college in southern Nebraska started
out on this lead several years ago, but
attention was called to the law, and
they stopped. Some Nebraska publish
ers seem to think all that is necessary
to form a supplement to a newspaper is
that it have the word "supplement"
somewhere on the sheet, and have some
reading matter, besides. Our Uncle
Samuel is not thus to be wheedled out
of his pay for carrying mail matter.
Newspapers have a lower rate than pos
ters have.

Quotations from Cardinal Newman.
Perhaps printers and publishers
will find a satisfactory way after awhile
of dealing with each other and tho pub
lic, as represented Ty"lEe public's ser
vants, the various officers in charge of
affairs temporarily. Ab it is, however,
there is trouble everywhere, because one
rule is applied to the work of newspa
pers and another to that by other peo
ple, and it will always be thus until the
publishers compel justice to be done
them. Plato's doctrine is entirely ap
plicable to the situation, "allow no in
justice, nor do nono." The Wayne Her
ald hits a nail-head thus:
"At the beginning of the year the
newspapers were compelled to bid for
the county printing and the commis
sioners secured a contract for the work
whereby the county will make about
$200 that the printers are entitled to as
provided by law. It was then under
stood that bids would be received for
all county work. However, at the meet
ing Saturday the commissioners agreed
that each one should hire a man to
operate the grader in his district at
83.00 per eight hours work. This may
possibly be the best plan but it seems to
us that if part of the county work is
let to the lowest bidder on account of
the close times this year, all of it should
be let the same way."
The Chicago Record of Saturday in
a two-column article giving statistics of
all the states and territories of the Un
ion, sets down Nebraska as having the
lowest percentage of illiteracy and of
crime. For their opportunities, Nebras
ka's newspapers, school teachers and
preachers work better and do more
work than in many another state, but
especially better than the far-away east
ern and southern states. We believe
thero is something in the social ele
ments that is conducive to that inde
pendence of mind which is necessary to
human progress. Out of our great va
riety of people; the commingling of
many nationalities; the interchange and
clash of conflicting opinions and meth
ods comes a strengthening that a hum
drum life does not experience. Every
element is made stronger in the emula
tion of its fellows for a bettering of the
conditions of life, and, barring a few
adverse experiences (even the sun is not
without its spots), Nebraska is about
the best country on the footstool.
Columbus has a citizen who is very
much opposed to the blue jay and spar
row, the latter being the only bird that
the blue jay fellows with. He says that
the jay is a regular robber bird, a pirate,
killing the young of the song birds
wherever it finds them, and that the
tribe is making sad havoc among the
birds that destroy worms and insects.
He says that if more active measures
are not taken to get rid of these robbers,
the farmers will pay for their indiffer
ence in added pests to their crops, and
the increased destruction of the far
mers' friends and workers, the song
birds. He has offered prizes for the de
struction of the blue jay, and is doing
what he can to lessen their number. He
showed us the bodies of three little
squabs that had presumably been killed
by the jay.

Journal now has the largest circulation
in Nebraska. It has reduced its price to
65 cents a month with Sunday, or 50
cents without Sunday; it has been spend
ing more money for Nebraska news than
any other paper; it has on its staff such
men as Bixby, Walt Mason, and Annin.

D at 2 per cent and E at 9(.
Series B runs out the coming winter,
and F has been started, with quite a
number of shares already subscribed.
The association is doing excellent
work.
It is not very often that the people's
monopoly in the shape of a city govern
ment gets its deserts as against a large
private corporation, but it does some
times happen, as for instance, as tho
Fremont Herald says: "The trouble the
city of Fremont had in convincing the
Western Union Telegraph company that
it had to pay an occupation tax is well
known to all citizens. The company re
fused to pay up, and carried the case to
the court of final resort. But it was de
feated on all sides, and Wednesday Clerk
Shively received a check for one year's
tax and the costs of litigation. The tax
for the year amounted to 8150, and the
company is still behind two years. This
fact will be called to its attention."

Onr Neighbors,
Surprise Herald: The six-year-old son
of S. F. Weaver, three miles south of
town, had a narrow escape from death
Thursday evening. He fell in front of a
moving disc harrow, which passed over
him. Fortunately the discs were set

David City News: The Catholic priest
who has charge of the church on the

another from Lincoln were on a howling
old drunk yesterday evening, and were

when they were ordered to tho lock-up
they concluded to pay, and they woro
taxed 810 and 815 and costs respectively.
Seward Blade: Billy Dixon acted as
agent for the Co-Operativo Supply Co.
of Omaha in selling clothing on the
"suit club" plan. It seems the company
were swindlers, and the government au
thorities getting after them, they ske
daddled to Sioux City, thence to St.
Paul and Chicago, where they were
captured and brought back to Omaha.
Dixon will be utilized as a witness, evi
dently having no fraudulent intent on
his part, and being out good money of
his own.

Norfolk News: A committee of ar
rangements has been appointed to get
ready for celebrating the Fourth of July,
it having been six years since Norfolk
enjoyed the luxury of a celebration of
tho nation's natal day. They go at it
thus early, with tho evident purpose ot
forestalling other celebrations in the
country tributary to the Sugar city
A traveling salesman tells his experience
of tho late Iowa cyclone: In company
with a liveryman Arnold was driving
into Porkens. When within a quarter
of a mile of tho village he noticed a
funnel shaped cloud strike tho earth in
a grove of cuttonwood trees, and then
whirl on in cork-screw style toward the
town. The first building, a large barn
in tho path of the cloud, was taken up
and carried several hundred feet in the
air before falling to pieces. Mr. Arnold
was only four blocks away from the barn
when it was struck, and could hear tho
awful roar of tho whirling cloud as it
passed by on its mission of death and
destruction.
Fremont Herald: Secretary Reynolds
reported that tho expenses of the school
year would amount to over 833,000.
Their number of pupils is about twice

into trouble with a brother editor at
Scribner by the name or Weekes. Camp
sold ont last week and concluded to
wreak vengeance on his lato competitor.
He didn't find him in, but Tom Oster
man, tho printer, was very much in, and
Joe at the end of the round, found him
self very much out. Still Joe was not
satisfied, and hailed Weekes at Fremont
when he was starting off for a drive to
Wahoo; tho editor didn't have time then
to settle personal matters, but promised
to give Camp a hearing on his return to
Scribner. Joo had better start another
paper somewhere else. Later: Camp
was put under 8200 bonds to keep the
peace.
