Several private canning factories have been in operation this season; near Seward, says the Reporter; one of these will put on the market 8,500 cans and another 20,000 cans of tomatoes.- Es tablishments of this' kind ought to pay in this vicinity much greater profit than at Seward. The Telegram says "that the voters of Platte. county do not believe it the proper calling of - a. woman to go plod ding over, the county doing a man's work." She would be an active, wide-a-wake superintendentdoing a superin tendent's work, and mostly among women teachers. M.

' 'The man who exercises' the func tions of 'county judge must, to do his duty well, understand - the law. He must see to it 'that -'justice is done to widows and orphans in the settlement of estates. While he ought not act as a paid attorney for those in interest (be cause matters of estate may come before him in .contest for his decision, and his judgment should be unbiased by s fee from either side), yet there are many times when a knowledge of the law by the judge will save the estate money and do no harm to the business of practicing attorneys either. Safety requires a good knowledge of the law in our county ijTUffss. voce nor Jkilum. From Bert Galley, who returned om the 24th nit. from his western trip of six weeks with Dr.' and Mrs. Evans, Mr. sad Mrs. Ed. Chambers of this plaee sad others of Genoa, we get a brief outline of their travels, which, given in annate detail, would make a large book. From here they .went directly to Salt Lake City, staying over from Friday to Monday viewing .the sights of the" city and vicinity, snd' on Sunday attending service at the Tabernacle, where, with 'about 8,000 other people, they listened to ' Brigham Young, jr., and Joseph Smith, jr., snd others. The Tabernacle is a wonderful building in many, ways, one of the unusual features being the means of exit the immense congrega tion were all out 'of 'the 'building in five minutes from the time of dismissal. A city and county building just completed attracts much attention. The first camp was made at Beaver Canon, Idaho; where the Genoa party joined the sojourners. This was within a hundred miles of the National park. They had two covered wagons and six saddle' horses, and- made two camps in reaching the park, where they 'stayed two weeks. This is a body of land sixty miles square reserved by the government and in charge or two companies, or sol diers, the main body being at Fire Hole basin, the others in different parts, in squads of three and' four. - Ten miles in from the boundary of the park, it is laid out, with roads nicely graded and mile posts marking the distances and telling the way. 'A. syndicate has erected hotels at different places and runs a. stage line for the, accommodation of totirists. Parties entering the park are metby a soldier. guard,and,-if they desire,' their guns are taken and a receipt given'for them; if not, theyjue sealed, and if, at the end of their travels' in the park, the. seal-is found broken "r)jni the guard, the guns are confiscated,. The" guards are always very strict about camp fires also.' The next camp of the party was made at Arangeer Idaho, where they tarried fourteen days, and had a delightful time of it. They passed over the continental divide, where water falling out .of the same small cloud may divide and go. one portion to the Atlantic ocean, the other to the Pacific. ". In the list of game are sage hens, blue and willow grouse' porcupine, deer, elk, and fish in abundance, the party one day catching 95 pounds of trout. The most wonderful sight of the trip was the geysers. They stopped with Old Faith ful and saw him spout half a dozen times; every 59. minutes, as regular as. a clock, he throws a stream 150 feet high and holds it up five minutes. A brief description of all the geysers would fill a large book. .d. Chambers, who was. with this party, says that you never have the feeling there of perfect security, there is so much loose earth, and so many places where steam comes up. - There is a place called fire hole, where the water is heated to a temperature 80f above boiling and, underneath this water, about ten feet from the surface, is very clearly visible a blue blaze of fire, a phenomenon that has puzzled many scientists. They met English and European tourists, vho all agreed that America had scenery that, for grandeur, sublim ity and picturesqueness, eclipsed that of the old country. This can be demon strated in Yellowstone park alone. . . J. S. Freeman returned Thursday from the convention at TopekaKansas, to which he had been appointed as" a delegate by Gov. Holcomb. There .were about five hundred present, and the whole subject of deep harbors and cheap transportation was gone over in speeches and conferences. The general' idea was that as a deep harbor had been secured on' the gnlf, the next thing was cheap railroad communication therewith. One man suggested that to get at this at the earliest day possible, a good idea would be to form a syndicate, .buy-up a large portion of the grain of the western country, and have the railroads now" doing business compete for the carry ing of the grain. Mr. Freeman says that everybody was enthusiastic over the future of the great west, and what is in prospect for the association to help along. If the tenth part of these pros pects is realized, Galveston will be the seaport of alL this region, and will be come a very, large city, because a gath ering and distributing point for an im mense region of country. The bay has an area of 475 square miles, and of this, 480 acres have a depth of 30 feet and 1400 acres a depth of 25 feet. One of the schemes of the association is to have a grand exposition in the not-distant future, for which there are already four cities "in lively competition. A com mittee was appointed with power to call conventions, suggest state and national legislation, gather and disseminate in formation, correspond with business men and associations, steamship or other transportation" companies, etc. There is no doubt but the work of the associa tion will result in great good in many ways to the country between the gulf and the north boundary in one direc tion and the Rocky mountains and the Mississippi'river the other way.- . The books in the county treasurer's" office of Platte county show that there have have been received the following fees since January lst,.1892: Jury .fees in "civil cases, $79; in criminal cases, $99 or a total of 3178,' actual fees paid over to the county treasurer, by Gus Speice", clerk, rince. 1892, or four full .'years. Now, is it a fact that we have had but three jury trials, a year or have -we .had more? The jurors who sat on the differ ent cases will know it to be a fact that we have had more. If we had ten at each term of court and four terms. per year it would-be forty cases for which should -.be turned over by. Clerk Speice in four 'years $800. As he has turned over.but J178, he would' have on hand, on this -basis, $622 of county funds on' jury cases. The statute of the state, reads'" as follows, section 3028 page 700: "There'shall be paid by the party against whom a verdict is rendered! in the dis trict court, a 'jury fee of five dollars, to be taxed in the-bill of costs, and when collected to be paid into the 'county treasury; and for each trial by the court a fee of one dollar, to be taxed, collected, and paid in a like, manner, for the use of the county." Section 3029 provides as above, only a fee of six dollars is charged in criminal cases.' What has become of these fees? George Randall 'returned last week from a two months' sojourn with his sister, Mrs. R. L Stanley, at Willow Springs, Mo. He was accompanied home by Mrs. C. B. Stanley and son. He leaves with us two large specimens of the .kind of apples they raise in the Ozark mountains; these measure thir teen inches in circumference. That is a country with plenty of fruit. Timber and stone are almost too abundant, a load of stove wood bringing only 35 cents, and no trouble anywhere to pick up a stone to throw at a dog. kCi of the recent numbers of the the editor tries to commend Mr-rGraf to the good graces of voters whieh of coarse is s privilege no one sho16rdenyhim,bt in the exercise of. it he ought not go out of the way to slur Mr. Grafs opponent, Mr. BahL against whose ability to discharge the duties of the ofitae of county clerk, and his integrity to fulfill those duties in strict accordance with law and to the best interests ef the people of Platte county, not one word can be truthfully said. And just because,' as the Telegram coafasses, "there is nothing particularly to say against Mr. PoM," it immediately adds "but that he accepted, a nomina tion brought about by such disreputa ble bargain and sale as' attended the making up of the mongrel ticket" In 'another part of the same paragraph oc curs the phrase "a'rebuke to the base' means-resorted to in the selection of the mongrel ticket." In other words, Mr. Pbhl is all right but, like poor old dog Tray, he' is in bad company. So! The hundreds of voters of the republican party of -Platte county, together with the greater hundreds of the independ ents, in addition to the scores upon scores of the democratic party, all. of whom, while not, in the least, diminish ing their zeal to their special party, have deliberately concluded that the best interests of all political parties and the best business interests of theconnty demand a thorough, radical change in the roster of county officials, and that the only way to secure -it is by combin ing forces for that purpose. This purr pose will be held in view right along, 'notwithstanding the Telegram's epithets of "rag-tag and bob-tail" and "mongrel." It 'is no -newthing for those who lack arguments to calt names, and for those who are in the wrong to 'try to cast op probrium on those seeking to correct wrong. The people know what theyare doing. "In union there is strength." The "bosses"' have not succeeded in keeping the great body of voters on county officials separated in the support of three or four different tickets, and if their other plan of "trading" fails to materialize, victory, is with the citizens' ticket. One PImm of Drttjr. We believe that hard times, poor crops and the various "calamities that strike the business column as it passes along,' hit hardest the honest retail dealer in dry-goods, groceries, and the other nec essaries of life, who has, by trusting his customers through -the pinch, endeav ored to help them solve their problem of living until better times should come. Hundreds of families have thus been helped through the 'past summer by the retail dealer, at the greatest of risk to himself. Many of them, here and there, have failed in business because of it, or partly because of it. If debts were not .contracted, or if they could be paid promptly when due, business men could meet their engage men tst but .when -they trust customers for goods and cannot or do not get their pay, there must- be an end, and it is generally not in favor qf the dealer. . We all owe it to those grocers, mer chants and others who have carried us through the past summer, to .meet our obligations with . them at the very first moment possible. Each amount may be small only a few dollars, all the better for us but when footed up by the dealer, they make a good, round sum, which, if he had in "spot cash," would pay his bills, take the burden off his mind, and lift off his heart which has been his during all the waking hours, for many past days and nights. Think of yourself as in his place,, and you will surely make a sacrifice in order to "square up" (square is a good word) and start again with fresher courage. .We happen to know with what anxiety some of our best business men entered the' work of tha past summer, and how nobly they have done their duty to their customers. and the community of busi ness interests of which they, are an im portant part. When nearly every individual was doubtful and despondent as to what the outcome would be, and whether those trusted for the necessaries of life could be able to pay at the end of the season, these men took the risk and have carried us through thus far. Now, let us give them a lift by paying immediately,, if not all," then the greater part of what we owe them. Ocoaee Jotting. ."Mrs; J. R.

Mrs. Brindley is making a popular candidate.-' She is not neglecting her business- of teaching school to elec tioneer, but is keepipg"right' along with her regular work. It is", not necessary" for. her to tell any stories either her life in Platte county-since her early youth tells what no mere campaign' talk for effect can do-in the way of convinc ing fair-minded people of her ability to conduct the affairs of the office of super intendent of schools of Platte county. What is needed in that oQice is a scholar', and one thoroughly informed in methods, of imparting instruction. Besides this, a superintendent is under obligation by reason of the duties of the office to "visit each of the schools of the county at least once in each year, to ex amine carefully into the discipline and modes of instruction, and into the pro-" gress and proficiency of the pupils, and to make a record of the same, and to counsel with teachers and district boards as to the course of study to be pursued, and for the improvement of the instruc tion and discipline of the school; to note the condition of the -school house and appurtenances thereto, and to .suggest a place for new school houses to be erect ed, and for wanning and ventilating the same; and for the general improvement of the school house and grounds: to promote, by. public lectures and teach ers' institutes, and by such othermeans as he may devise' for the improvement of the schools in the" country, and the elevation of. the character and qualifica tions of the "teachers thereof;' to'consult with the teachers and school boards, to secure general and regular attendance of the'children of the county upon the public schools."' In the above paragraph alone, (which we copy from the law), there is.-a large field ftir useful work, and it' is by no means all that, the law expects and re quires ot the. superintendent ior-nis. 1U0 a montn. - . It is not necessary nor becoming in our county superintendents' of schools to pass" the greater portion of their time at the county -seat, when .- it is" well known that they do not visit the schools there, and we undertake to say for Mrs. Brindley that she will make the law prescribing her duties," her rule of con duct in that and every other particular. We ask our readers to take 'note now of the above important functions and du ties of the superintendent as laid down in the law, and after Mrs. Brindley: is well along in her first year's work give ns your opinion of what she is doing to earn the -money that. Platte county .will be paying her. The people of the United States learned long ago that there is no sex in education. By far the greater-number of teachers of the country are ladies, and their employment during the last forty years, notjjnly in the public schools; but also in academies, .semina ries, colleges and universities, as well as superintendents of private and public educational institutions, has been fully justified by the work they have done, and the progress they have made, un precedented in the world's history, -during the same length of time. There is abundant ' reason to believe that where lady teachers, (eminent for good moral character and teaching abil ity, as in Mrs. Brindley's case),- are selected ss county superintendents, they give excellent satisfaction.
