Allen has left with us samples of oats from his farm south of the river. A small portion is from down . grain, which is considerably affected by rust, but will evidently make half a crop. The most of it, however, is great oats, and will reach CO to 80 bushels to the acre. A great crowd of children had a party on Altle Heintz Thursday after noon. It was intended to be a surprise but that part was a failure. What chil dren can't think of to take for refresh ments, is not mentioned in the receipt book, and there was plenty of every thing.

Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, wheu it ought to be done, whether you like it or not. It is the first lesson that ought to be learned, and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thorough ly Huxley. A leak was discovered last week in Schuyler's water main, the water show ing above ground. The hole is said to be a worm hole, which sounds strange to people where iron pipes are used. Schuyler uses wood, and the next query is, Is the wood rotting? The Quill thinks not, as wood, under ground, ought to last longer than that. Five 4,hoboes" were put into the lock-up at Seward over night in hopes that somebody would claim the miscel laneous assortment of knives, razors, clothing, gold watches, etc.. that they had. The same night, however, they broke out. leaving nothing bat a hole in the wall. The next day word came from a neighboring town describing the goods, showing that the "hoboes" were the burglars.

Colby. Reduced rates can be had at one fare for the round trip from any point in Nebraska. For further particulars, address H. W. Learn, secre tary, Long Pine, Nebr. An old farmer says: Clean up the bins several weeks before threshing time; don't be afraid of the boys want ing to leave the farm because you ed ucate them and spur them on to better and higher things; the farm has need of all this educated talent; the growing of corn necessitates the growing of live stock that the crop may be marketed in a way to make a profit from this. This again calls for the growing of grass and forage crops, which, by the way, are the natural crops for rotating with corn and other grains. All this live 6tock that is reared and finished for the market on the farms constitutes a big factor in re ducing soil waste. PERSONAL.

The blow was not unexpected, but it was no less terrible when it came. For two years her life hung in the balance, and at last she was called away To that bourne whence no traveler returns." All that was possible was done by fond parents and friends to restore her to health, but this was not to be, save by release from her suffering. At her home and wherever she was known the deceased was loved for her many vir tues. A6 a teacher, her power over children was of the heart and exercised only in furtherance of truth and right. Un usually cheerful and kind, her influence in the school room was free from the appearance of authority and exaction. She was known to many of our young people, who extend to the bereaved fam ily their deepest sympathy in their sor row. When one has journeyed on earth her threescore and ten years, we do not feel the loss so keenly as for one who is taken just in the morning of bright life. So with Madge Guthrie, we deeply re gret her death. l. Fenple's Independent. Platte county's people's independent party had a convention at Platte Center Saturday, which was numerously at tended by adherents of that political school. D. L. Bruen was chairman and C. A. Brindley secretary. Twelve delegates were selected to rep resent Platte county in the convention at Grand Island to select 57 delegates to the national convention at St. Louis, as follows: Leauder Gerrard, W. Weaver, J. J. Graves, W. Forsaith, N. S. Hyatt, J. W. Maher, Joseph Paschal, C. B. Campbell, James Kternan, W. Saunders, J. C. Swarlsley, Henry Stevens. The delegates chosen for tho state convention to be held at Hastings Au gust 5, for nominating a state ticket, were: W. A. Way, R. Y. Lisco, D. L. Bruen, Jud Wilson, A. W. Clark, John Gibbon, Gus Mareck, Win. Schelp, J. P. Johnson, W. F. Dodds, W. R. Hyatt, W. Saunders. To the congressional convention, yet lo be called, the following is the list of delegates: J. H. Johannes, John Walker, N. S. Hyatt, Dan Driscoll, Win. Schelp, J. C. Byrnes, J. W. James, M. Runolds, James Kiernan, J. J. Graves, L. Gerrard, W. A. Way, Edmond Miles. Resolutions were passed reaffirming the Omaha platform of 1892; endorsing Holcomb's administration as governor of Nebraska; approving the platform adopted by the Bryan democrats at Chicago, and instructing the delegates to the Grand Island convention to use all honorable means to secure a delega tion to St. Louis favorable to the nomi nation of Bryan for president. The chairman of the central commit tee was authorized to call another con vention, later along, for nominating county officers, after which adjourn ment took place. It was among the largest conventions ever held in the county by the inde pendents. Docs Year Koof Ltak? Excelsior slate paint will make it as good as new. Most economical roof paint known.

W. H. Hamilton of Boone county and A. E. Whiteside of Portland, Ore gon, gave Journal headquarters a pleasant call Monday. Mr. Whiteside has lately been sojourning in the middle northern states, and thinks that McKin ley will carry all that section of the country. In Oregon and in all the Pa cific country, the doctrine of protection to the products of the United States has had abundant illustration the past three years, multitudes of ship loads of goods which ought to have been pro duced by American labor from American material, having been dumped into the markets there to the detriment of the laborers and producers of this country. The world does move, for 6ure. The new woman has become ring-master and also clown in the great Forepaugh and Sells Bros', combined circus. It is said that the new fashion is far ahead of the old, pnd a contemporary sings: "When lovely woman etoopelo follr," She does it up to date aa clown. She drive away loathed melancholy And fills the tent and owns the town. Within the last week we have made arrangements so that we can furnish to our readers the Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean and Columbus Journal, when paid in advance, at $1.75. tf BRYAN NOMINATED. Silver Democrat Make Him the SUndard-Bcarer-H Speech Did It. Last Friday, on the fifth ballot in a convention where one-third the dele gates refused to take part in the pro ceedings William J. Bryan was nomi nated for president of the United States. It was not the result of the usual combinations and 6lates, or scheming, but purely the effect of a speech by Mr. Bryan, in advocacy of the cause which he represents. When the convention met Friday morning the majority of the delegates were satisfied that the nominee would be Bland of Missouri. On the first bal lot Bryan received 105 votes, not half so many as Bland; on the second 197; the third 219; the fourth 281. The fifth was never counted, for before its conclusion Bland, Boies, Blackburn, McLean, Matthews and Teller, bad all given up the contest. In fact the convention went wild. All the silver states, repre sented by their guidons, gathered around the Nebraska delegation and marched in procession through the convention. There were 186 gold men who refused to vote because of the platform which had been adopted, and it is now an open question whether the gold democrats will not put a ticket of their own in the field. One of the questions raised by the voting was as to whether the rule, so long in vogue in democratic conven tions, required a two-thirds vote of all the delegates elected, but Chairman White decided that only two-thirds of those voting was required. This deci sion was announced before the fifth ballot. Bryan was born in Salem, 111., March 19, 1860; attended public school until 15 years of age, spending his vacations on the farm; in the fall of '75, entered Whipple academy at Jacksonville, 111.; entered Illinois college, Jacksonville, in '77; graduated in '81; attended Union College of Law, Chicago, two years; re moved to Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1, '87, where he has since lived. He was elected to the Fifty-second and re-elected to the Fifty-third congress as a dem ocrat. The last three years he has spent mainly in speaking at various points over the country, supposed to bo in the employ of the bimetallic league. Mr. Bryan is well known to many Jouun'at. readers, and, personally, all wish him well, whatever they may think of his political views. The administration democrats are not pleased- with the situation, but pre sumably will fall into line before elec tion. A battle-cry was badly needed by the national democratic party. "Tariff Reform" would no longer answer, and 'Free Silver" seemed all that was left in au endeavor to defeat "protection and prosperity" under the lead of McKin ley. Arthur Sewall of Maine was nomina ted for vice-president on the fifth ballot. He is a successful business man of Maine, and is said to be worth five mil lions of dollars. The Institute. Whereas, The teachers of Platte coun ty public schools, fully understanding the advantages of being called together in work of this nature, and heartily en dorsing this method of developing the mind, by the association of ideas, thus better enabling the individual teacher to combat with ignorance, raise the standard of the common schools, placing all on a higher level, not only in the branches we teach, but by simplifying the way for those having fewer advanta ges for becoming acquainted with cur rent events, therefore be it Resolved, That we extend our sincere thanks to our county superintendent, M. M. Rothlightner, for his deep interest in our wefare, and his devoted efforts to make this session a success; to our in structors, D. C. O'Connor, L. H. Leavy and W. H. Cletnmons, for their cour teous and untiring labors in our behalf; to the Misses Clark and Sacrider for their services as organists; to the honor able board of education for liberally granting the use of the high school building; to the janitor, James Warner, for keeping the room in order; to the citizens of Columbus generally, for the hospitable treatment accorded us while in their midst. Whereas, It has pleased God in his wisdom and mercy, to call from among tie, our fellow-teacher, Miss Madge Guthrie, therefore, be it Resolved, That we, her friends and co workers, extend our heartfelt sympathy to her parents in this, their sad be reavement, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to each of the city papers.

The value of kindergarten work is being more and more appreciated as the years roll by, and the splendid things accomplished become better known. Nowhere that we know of have results been so widespread as In San Francisco. The kindergartens were started there in the very worst parts of the city. The practice is to take the toddlers off the streets at four years of age, keep them until they are six, when they graduate into the public schools. The Chicago Inter Ocean says that not less than 30, 000 children in that city of about 300, 000 inhabitants have gone through this garten training, and the police depart ment reports that it is almost an unheard of thing for a child who has had that training during the two years from four to six to be guilty of any crime. Not only so, but many a parent has been re claimed by the reflex home influence of the kindergarten. We feel like saying that if all the grown-up people could put themselves and keep themselves in training on kindergarten principles, the millenium would be pretty close at band. Give the little ones a chance to develop their mental abilities in play studies. Pipestone has adopted an original way of dealing with tramps and the plan is given for the consideration of the Woonsocket authorities. Tickets for meals are issued to every family and when a tramp applies for food he is given a ticket which he takes to the marshal. The marshal will take the ticket under bis wing and furnish the tramp with a square meal after he has put in a good two hours work on the stone pile pounding it fine. This will prove the only feasible means of ridding the country of tramps. Those willing to work will do so. The lazy fellows who only work people for what they can get will never come the second time. Woonsocket (S. D.) Times.

Tha committee heretofore appointed to exam ine into and report on the case of Frank Silver, feeble minded boy in custody of the sheriff, now reported: That J. N. Kilian, county judge, stated he would presently go to the Institute for feeble minded at Beatrice, Neb., and endeavor to procure the admission therein of the said Silver, and that he would do this free of charge to thecounty. And thereupon the board adjourned until July 14tb, 1396, at 2 o'clock p. m. A Red-Hot Campaign. The present campaign will be the most exciting one fought out since the war. There will not be a day when something of unusual interest will not transpire. The State Journal has made up its mind to surpass all its former efforts in the direction of news-giving, and will give its readers the most com plete details of the campaign, giving all the news from an unbiased standpoint. Republicans will want the Journal be cause of its staunch republican princi ples, it being recognized as the standard bearer of the great republican party of Nebraska. Populists and democrats should read it for the news it gives. The Semi-Weekly Journal will go to thous ands of new homes during the campaign. You should subscribe, as it will only cost you 25 cents from now until No vember 15. Two papers every week, making it almost as good as a daily.

Schuyler Quill: James Gadsden re turned on Monday after an absence of six weeks out west after sheep. He pur chased 5,000 which are being driven in for feeding here. He tells us that John Noh is driving 6,000 and Mr. Barney 5,001) for this county to feed. He also says that fully 150.000 sheep are now being driven along the trail, being stock rather than mutton sheep, coming east for feeding. Seward Reporter: We learn that the recent teachers' institute was conducted without any cost to the county, all ex penses being paid ont of the tuition fees of those in attendance. The best instructors were employed, to whom good salaries were paid, and in addition extra desks were provided at a cost of twenty dollars. Superintendent Ilealy is to be congratulated on his wise and economical management. Schuyler Sun: Ed Sprecher left one day this week for Albion to begin exca vating for the new court house there, he having secured the contract for the stone and brick. The building when completed will represent an outlay of about $30, 000, so that Ed's part will be quite a neat sum, and we hope it will leave him a good margin. He will move his family up there in two or three weeks, as the job will last until winter. Madison Star: Henry Harrison, of Xenia, Ohio, an expert mining machin ist, was in the city Tuesday and Wed nesday. The Star man, bearing that he was connected with the Stanton county gold mine, at once set out to tind the gentleman. It was hard to induce him to talk about the mine, but after an hour of hard work he finally said that he had come up here from Milford, this state, and he thought there was a better prospect for gold on Moritz's place that there was in Milford. He also remarked that the machinery for mining Moritz's place was on the road here. k'Do you honestly believe that there is gold on the place?" asked the Star man of Mr. Harrison. "I do, and also think that there is gold in payiug quantities all aloug Union creek, und in six months I would not be surprised to see at least six different mines in operation along the stream." The Union Pacific Pioneers' associa tion and their friends of Omaha went Saturday morning to Logan, Iowa, for their fifth annual outing. Logan citi zens and 2,000 farmers from the sur rounding country left nothing undone for the comfort of the visitors. There was, however, a very sad ending to the day's pleasure. A few minutes after C o'clock the excursionists started for their special train, and the people of Logan turned out en masse to escort them to the depot. There were fully 1,500 people on board the seventeen cars, and 'there was some delay in getting started. The Bee remarks that had the delay been only two minuteo louger the horror would not have to ha written. The excursion special was lying on tho sidetrack at Logan, and was to wait the passage of two trains before starting, but instead, started after the first one passed by, and , in a minute met tho other, with a full head of steam, dashing around a curve at forty miles an hour. The collision was within a few hundred yards of tho Logan station, and in sight of hundreds of citizens. The engine crews saw the danger and jumped, all escaping unhurt except Engineer Mont gomery of the special who bustained a badly damaged hand. The engines were almost completely demolished and two cars on each train telescoped. The first passenger coach was cut in two length wise just at theheight-of tho car seats. Page upon page of the Omaha papers are taken up with the description of the dead and wounded. The list of dead io twenty-five, beside.3 many wounded. The Chicago Tribune, speaking of the recent demand for Mahatmas for Chica go, of those styled theosophists, says: "Chicago has reached the point where it must have its own complete outfit of Kar ma, Chelas, Mahatmas, adopts, eoerd, thought-waves, and any recent additions to the aggregation, and, if necessary, a commission should be sent to India to catch a few of the finer specimens in their native lair." Tha wiiter of the fore going doubtless considered it a rather fine piece of sarcastic writing, btit it ia well enough sometimes for those who un dertake to ridicule another's beliefs to do it in such a way as not to show that he himself has not absorbed anywhere that generosity of spirit which should char acterize human beings of every shade of opinion. It is wonderful how a little incident in childhood may affect one for a life. Mr. Hendryx, speaking the other day of a principle of action, said that when he was a boy on the farm, his father im pressed upon his mind tha idea that if his neighbor raised a better crop of corn than he did, to go to him, find how ho did it, and then raise as good a crop. He added, (and he is now well along in years), "I have never forgot what he then told me, and it is an excellent working principle iu all things." The beauty about general principles is that they are of universal application. The Cadiz (O.j Sentinel has this to say which applies equally well to all localities: "Teaching singing in the public schools is one of the most fortu nate 'hits ever made by school boards. The children learn music when they are young, and the result is that where one had some knowledge of music, now there are twenty. It is an advantage and an advance which parents appreciate."
