The Gazette says that eight loads of cattle, purchased -by R. H. Henry k Son at Wyoming came into Bellwood at an early hour on Saturday morning by special train. They will be fed and fattened here, thus devouring consider able hay and corn. Buck Taylor, (well known to many of 4ur readers, as one of the characters of Buffalo Bill's aggregation when it first started out from here), was in a railroad collision the other day at St. Louis, in which the two engineers were killed, and escaped with his life, but witk ose of kis lefs broken. . The creamery company-had a meet ing Monday evening and elected new officers as follows: Carl Kramer presi dent, M. Whitmoy'er secretary, George Scott treasurer, L. Gerrard and L. Jaeggi directors. The company are now out of debt and feel encouraged for fu ture prospects. .' The Norfolk News tells the follow ing without comment of any kind, when it' knows it must be an unconsionable yarn: "A Platte county man points with pride to the fact that his wife has worn one bonnet for twenty-five years. The feeling with which the wife points to her husband has not yet been described." The Sunday School Union held ser vices in the Congregational church Wed nesday afternoon and evening with large crowds in attendance. Several good papers were read. In the evening Elder Hudson gave a talk, reminiscent of the Sunday Schools of Platte county, bring ing up many interesting incidents of pioneer life. -At the meeting of Baker. post Satur day night, Commander Brock gave the boys a rare treat in the shape of some nice juicy apples that were grown in Missouri on trees set out by Mr. Brock some seventeen years ago, and to 6ee them disappear down the lanes where has gone so much hardtack and baked beans, was proof that they were relished. The Pabst Brewing Co. -of Mil waukee have let the contract to Frank Clark to construct for them here a re frigerator and ice house, the capacity to be about two car loads. It will be erected on grounds leased from the Union Pacific company, east of the Farmers' and Merchants' elevator, and the work will begin this week. Arnold and Mike Abts will have the agency of the company. At the fire of the Rightmire resi dence last Tuesday Harry Rightmire did noble work in saving furniture in their beautiful home. At one time he came near falling through the second story floor and burned his hands badly in catching the timbers. At the fire Saturday at their farm residence Harry went into the house while it was all in flames and got out several pieces of fur niture and rolled out two kegs of pow der. " Thomas Wentworth Higginson, one of. the great literary men of this age, says of his mother that her whole for mula of training of her children con sisted in these three things: "To retain the entire confidence of the child; to do whatever seemed wisest, and to be patient." No better sentiments or method could be suggested to every teacher of the land. You are not re sponsible for every childish fault, neiiner are me parents. Last Sunday week A. J. Arnold, formerly of this city, now of National City, California, was accidentally injured in the knee by the discharge of a pistol. Friday, Dr. Harry Arnold of this place received a telegram telling' him of his father's injury, and that there was noth ing serious, but for him to come at once; and he left on Saturday afternoon for National City. Mr. Arnold's many old friends here will be sorry to hear of his injury, and will hope for his speedy recovery; The large barn on the Markell farm near Blair was burned to the ground the other night, supposed to be the work of tramps who were sleeping in the hay mow, as there is where the blaze start ed. There were burned up 4,000 bushels of onions and about 5,000 feet of pine lumber. It would have been cheaper for the owner, probably, to have invited the tramps into the house to supper, lodging and breakfastrbut a better way still would be to so arrange matters that the tramp nuisance be reduced to the minimum. TIE ELECTION. Piatt Cematy SarereJgas Tkair Will. Declare That 'is true, but the counting was so slowly done that the returns this (Wed nesday) morning, are rather more meager than usual. We give them briefly, as we have received them. Co lumbus will be found tabulated. B. C. Stanley of the Willow Springs (Missouri) Republican, was a caller on Tax Jocbxal one day last week. He has been. editing a republican newspa per several years in Hbwell-'eounty, in the southern tier of counties' near the Arkansas line, and says his city and county are now republican. The chief product there is fruit, one party this year having been offered -and refused $10,000 for the- product of 100 acres; it being estxatated that they, will realize $200 an acre for the apple crop of this year.

Tuesday night of .last week, at 9:30, the alarm of fire was sounded, the loca tion being the Rightmire residence in the west part of the city. It was quite a while before the proper pressure was placed, but when it was the firemen soon had the flames under control, and a small portion of the house saved.' The house was built about five years ago, at a cost of $8,500. The improve ments would. probably bring the aggre gate to nearly $11,000. There was $9,000 insurance on house and furniture. "The .cause of the fire is unknown. Mr.-Rightmire was at his farm, and Mrs. Rightmire and daughter were down town at the time, and Harry was at a neighbor'a The firemen are certainly deserving of great praise for the ' promptness with which they -responded to call, and for the very effective work done, so soon as the direct pressure was turned on. Their run alone, from headquarters was a good half mile, and their work was earnest and decisive. It is estimated that the few moments delay in putting on tne pressure at the city waterworks cost the insurance companies about 8400. Since placing the foregoing in type, another fire, Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, destroyed the house on Mr. Rightmire's farm (the John Miller prop erty west of the city), loss $900, besides 400 bushels of potatoes, which were stored in the cellar, some of which prob ably, will be worth something. Noth ing was saved of the contents of the building except young Rightmire's trunk, and there was no insurance what ever. Mr. Rightmire and son were in the meadow at the time, fighting fire that had been caused by sparks from passing engines of a Union Pacific- train a double-header. The old adage, "Misfortunes never come singly,'' seems to have an exem plification in this case, and all the ac quaintances of the family will sincerely sympathize with them in their troubles. Prof. Herbert Bartlett, an expert geologist who has been investigating the gold finds around Milford for sev eral months past, has finally given in his report: He 6ays, in short, that "there have been but two similar ones known,' one the great middle field of Australia from which the owner cleared over $2,000,000 and the other in Hondu ras. Neither of these mines named was in point of value anything like this one. I pronounce it of fabulous value." Prof. Bartlett has been connected with federal geological surveys in Colorado, and has had exnerience in trold minim? in Sonth Africa, Honduras and other noted fields. aiay ne we could nnd gold in our Platte valley sand. A telegram received Sunday even ing from Tarnov requested the presence of the coroner to hold an inquest over a dead .man, but when the officers got there in the night, they found that noth ing had happened except an ordinary fight between two men, more or less in toxicated. The injured man's name is John Foreman, and he was brought to this city Tuesday and treated by Drs.- Evans and -Geer. He has a broken shoulder; jaw broke in three places; and a badly sprained back. He laid out all Sunday night. He is a married man, with wife and one child, and is about 26 years old. The name of his assailant is John Slowinski, and there is a warrant out tor his arrest. We may add here that Coroner Heintz: and Deputy Sheriff Gentleman didn't go further than Platte Center Sunday night. Married at Oregon City, Oregon, Oct 29, at 10 a. a, by Rev. Oilman Par ker, Baptist minister, Mr. James Lamar and Miss Mabel Spinney, eldest daugh ter of Mrs. Alvin Levie, formerly of Columbus. The. bride was tastefully attired in a dove-colored traveling suit, and looked as sweet and modest as the lovely' rosea, by which 'she was so pro fusely surrounded. The groom is one of Oregon City's enterprising and popu lar young men and is prominent in church work. After the eongratulatkns of relatives and friends the bridal pair left on the noon train for a tour through the cities of Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Lamar will make their home in Oregon City after the third week in November. We unite our heartfelt wishes for the prosperity and welfare of this new home founded under sack planing asapi- r. The SwUs Ambassador. ' Last week we noticed very briefly, as space necessitated, the visit of Dr. J. Pioda, the Swiss ambassador. From one of his countrymen who was present at the reception, we get the following, somewhat in addition to the notice in last week's Joubxal. Mr. Pioda is a native of the canton Tessin, Switzerland, and is the very type of an Italian nobleman, highly ed ucated, speaking, besides his native tongue, French, German and English, fluently and correctly. On his arrival here he was met by a number of Switzers and a committee of the GruetH society, and taken in charge by Leopold Jaeggi, whose guest he was during his brief stay in the city, in the evening, a reception was given at the parsonage of the Reformed church by Grueth .society, of our city, "Rev. De Geller making the speech of welcome, in heartfelt words congratulating the ambassador for his public spirit in un dertaking so lengthy a journey in behalf of the people whom he represents. After three cheers given for the distinguished guest, Dr. Pioda responded in -an elo quent manner, stating that wherever he found countrymen of- his, they had proved themselves not only true lovers of Switzerland but also good citizens of their adopted land, .especially of the glorious United States of America. He compared, in language full of life 'and and fire, the two sister republics, re minding his hearers that the two colors in common, red and white, the stars and the cross, both emblematic of human trial and destiny, heaven and earth:' the blessings of the new country extend to those who bore sorrows and persecutions in the old, politically and socially, as well as religiously. Reminding Switzers of the national love of liberty, he coun selled them to stand by it here also, on this soil, under the protecting folds of the star-spangled banner; thus proving themselves the worthy descendants of worthy sires. His closing sentiment was the future welfare and prosperity of the United States and Switzerland, and his speech was received with hearty cheers. The remainder of -the evening was passed in conversation, and with re newed love for the distant Alpine land and for the present home, all" retired, delighted with Switzerland's ambassa dor, as "the right man in the right place." Thursday morning, Oct. 24, a trip was taken into the country, Rev. E. DeGel Ier, M. Brugger and Leopold Jaeggi accompanying the ambassador. Several farms were visited in which the Doctor showed great interest, inquiring into particulars which would give him a just view of affairs-local to this region of the country. He expressed a favorable opinion with all he had seen and heard, and thinks after all that Platte county, Nebraska, is the place for new-comers or home seekers, especially for- those having limited means. ' In the afternoon a reception was held at the church for all 'who desired to meet the ambassador, and' to shake hands with him in American style.. The address of welcome here was given by Rev. DeGeller, and a hearty response by' the Doctor, who especially counselled the mothers "present to teach their chil dren love for America, and yet retain a warm place in their affections for the native land of their parents, thus be coming true Americans and still loving the land of their forefathers. After addresses given, all joined in the Swiss national hymn, "Rufst du mein Yaterland," the Doctor proving a good singer. The- Swiss colony Grnetli of Platte county was represented by an -address written by Rev. Braun, pastor of- the community, and (in his absence) read by Bev. DeGeller, in which he stated facts from the date, of emigration of the col ony to the present time, for which much credit was due the ambassador." Mr. H.T. Spoerryand Ex-Mayor D. Schupbach followed with very appro priate remarks. vine enurcn, ror tnis occasion, taeteruiiy decorated witn Swiss em blema. besides the national emblem "white cross on red field." .The 22 can tons of the Swiss republic were placed in the order they entered the union. At 7 p. ax, a farewell was extended to the ambassador by friends who escorted him to the depot at time of departure. No doubt the visit will long be re membered by the ambassador, and by all who had tha' pleasure of meeting E.D.G- We have the LARGEST aseortnenV Mea's Yoatfca' and Ckildna's CLOTHING, OVERCOATS, "CLSTERS and REEFEBS in the county, and are ofiering the Most attractive goods at pricastfcat will induce vou. to buy liberally "SSv v .
