Last week a -lady came into our
'to advertise a' cape she had lost
three weeks, before. She thought
it was almost napless, 'but would try
what printer's ink would do. Wednes
day morning bright and early two little
girls brought in the cape, we place the
city JocBXAlB in the post-office on Tues
day evenings. It pays to advertise. A
few months ago some one left a key that
had been found. We put in a local and
it was astounding to realize how many
people had lost keys. - Then we had a
hat -here one dsy bat it was claimed
soon after being advertised.- There is a
moral to this' story. It pays to adver
tise.
August Weisshand tells us that the
storm (of Saturday night week) was
the hardest he .ever saw, for about halt,
ap hour. There was a -great amount of
water fell,, and stood six inches deep.
after the rain.- The-hailstones- were not
so large as at Schuyler, but were' more
numerous. Mr. Weisshand says at two
of his- neighbors with corn, fields only
twenty feet apart one field was stripped
while the. 'other was scarcely touched.
At Humphrey, there was no', rain, just
hail,- and some stones bigger than goose.
eggs. There are- all kinds- of reports
August says, one man saying he heard
of a hail stone 30 inches round, dropping
in Colfax county.
James Haney says that the storm
of Saturday evening Week was a terrific
wind for a very short' time', two currents,
one from the south, the other from the
northwest coming together and rnltjrig
a twist,- disturbing -things very decidedly
for a moment- No haiL At 'George.
Henggler's, north of Shell creek,, the
storm" was not so severe as to wind, but
with very much rain and . haiL George
iys -the canyons- were, crowded; over
flowing his cornfields. At' Davis's and
Aug. Weiashand's, farther north; the.
storm was still store severe. No loss of
life, so far as we have beard.; In some
places. the-corn was stripped of the
blades, and in some places was bud- flat
as small grain is in-a strong wind' -
When people start in" to -practice
economy, observes the Fairbury Gazette,
they usually begin with the newspapers,
stopping -their advertising -and-often
their paper under the. mistaken -idea
that they are cutting off a. useless, ex
pense. The farmer might as well quit
plowing for the next year's crop as for
the merchant '.to cease letting, it be
known he has goods for sale. Of course
the necessities of .the paper are not
taken into consideration, nor the fact
considered that it costs as . much or
more to run a paper withbnt advertising
as with it. To be consistent' and pro
tect themselves, publishers should cur
tail their expenses -to- correspond with
the loss of patronage by reducing the
size of their paper, employing less help,
etc They seldotn'do thahowever, but
continue'runmng at a loss 'until 'times
are better or;tney .are compelled -to quit
entirely, '.

needs. - When times are hard, taxes are
high 'and laws unjust, women suffer
equally with men, and at this time, when
the worldis stirred to the outside limit
of its emotion and thoaght with a social
demand for the abolition of poverty and
injustice, woman should be willing to
do her part, or, at least, to inform her

benefit the women of Columbas to or

Three tubs were thrown to'the-whale,

the whale in this case being 'represented
by the open mouths of those who think
it 'is time to have a total change in
Platte county's officials
If Platte county is to have a recognized'
official class, let us all make up our
minds to the situation, -and submit to it
with .the same grace that the people do
where "some are born booted and
spurred" to ride the others ' that ate
rborn saddled.'''
How many men of straw are there on

-To whom, have been promised the var
ious clerkships?
To. the mind of .this writer, the last
two questions, fully .answered, would
let .daylight through the .whole' battle
so far as it has" progressed..
Trades, deals and tie-upe have -been
the bane of Platte eqanty. politics, -until
it seems that .there must' be a grand, ag
gregation of the outs' to oust a clan that
have been bossing ua all for their own
personal benefit, for quite -too long a
time..
An exceptionally good man placed in
.opposition to thia ticket, office for office,
each man thoroughly well, qualified for
the place for which he is named, and
besides, able and willing to make a good
canvass for his own election and that 'of
the entire- ticket, and we .believe that,
victory is assured to the majority of the-'
peopte of Platte county, who are cer
tainly opposed to "the "ruling dynasty."

Councflmen Galley, Oehlrich and Whit-

. There was not much business to be
transacted. "'
The list.. of. those delinquent in- the
payment of occupation tax 'was presen

make collection aa speedily as possible.
The consideration of the request, of
Paul Hoppen for a rebate on occupa
tion tax was deferred to the next .meet

The report of the committee on print
ing on a bill of N. H. Parks for 11&80,
referred.to them was to the effect that
90 cents' of it was; by mistake, billed to
the city instead of to the county. A
warrant was ordered drawn-for $12L90:'
The matter of providing meters-for .all
water users -was referred -.to committee
on waterworks, to report' with 'recom
mendation. .Adjourned.
The Printers Auxiliary says: .- "The
newspaper - man . -who seldom fights
through the columns of his paper is to
be feared. When he. does go after -a
scalp he brings the. entire head.- This
every day bark becomes thread-bare and
is looked upon as very poor policy. . .-It
has a retrograding effect." " '
No man (dubbed newspaper or other)
ought to be feared.' The truth is, there
is .too much regard paid to base' fear.
Do yoar duty and let the other man,
whether he be n newspaper man or some
other supposed sentinel on watch for
the public interests, see to.it for.himself
that he does his duty. We notice that
some newspaper publishers, in the con
duct of their business, seem to act al-
ost wholly. on the theory of having
people afraid of them, "throw stones at
them and btiag them in," as a pubbsher
said to aa once upon a time. Abject
cowardice aad truckling on -one side
foster dbauaeering insolence on the
other. If every would-be boss in mat-
tan that eoacera him no aaore than
they do others, was given' to aadrstand
his place, aad sande to keep it, "without
fear, favor or saTsetion," the world would
be better of than it is now. '

Osceola Record:- S.'F..Fleharty, of
Tamna. Florida, arrived at Osceola the
latter part of last week and will remain
for two or three weeks, renewing old
acquaintances. Uncle Stephen, aa he
used to be called by Osceola people, was
a resident of Osceola for a long time,
and was for several years editor -'of thei
Record and changed the name from
Homesteader to Record many years ago.
At present he is in the' real estate busi
ness at Tampa The last fifteen days
have demonstrated the. fact that Polk
county will not have -a-corn crop this
year. The yield will be much more than
last year but will not reach half a'crop.
Careful enquiry from responsible farm
ers over the county shows that the crops
are -very spotted, but tne not, dry
weather lately has cut the general yield
badlyl" The people of. the county might
jqst as. well acknowledge the fact and
prepare to face the situation. This win

fodder save their straw and other-rough-feed,
the county can go. through in
much-better shape than it- did last year.'
The straw- should be -stacked as care

be. cut for fodder and fed to 'save straw
and. hay. In' this way stock can be' win

county will .be 'able to sell a good deal
of corn in spite of the short crop. The
failure is something that no one ia re

to do is to' meet the situation calmly,

The report . that Henry Watson got
locked in' a refrigerator car and was
suffocated after three days' imprison

at Omaha, is a" mistake.
Madison Chronicle:- V. Crua one 'day
last week sold two' dewberries for 50
cents to a fruit tree man who is canvass
ing here. Twenty-five cents a berry is
steep. They were the largest we ever
saw and the agent wanted them to-put
in alcohol for exhibition purposes.
The peach crop of J. M. Russell A
Son, Wymore, Neb., which is partly har

estimated to be about 15,000 baskets,
but when their young orchards come
into bearing they anticipate a crop 'of
100,000 baskets, as their young orchards
are planted with more reliable varieties
than the old orchard. If they were lim

family una they would select the Wright,
a variety which-'origihated in Johnson
