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.

Guthbie At the home of her parents,
Wednesday, July 8, Margaret Guthrie,
aged 18 years.
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.

W. H. Hamilton of Boone county

has lately been sojourning in the middle
northern states, and thinks that McKin

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.

She does it up to date aa clown.

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.

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.

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."

Passengers going east for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago aa tho
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives in tho
eastern states always desire to "take in"
Chicago en route. AU classes of passen
gers will find that the "Short Line" of
.he Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way, via Omaha and Council Bluffs,
affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in a manner that will be
sure to give the utmost satisfaction.
. A reference to the time tables will in
dicate the route to be chosen, and, by
asking any principal agent west of the
Missouri river for a ticket over the
Chicago, Council Bluffs & Omaha Short
Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee k St.
Paul Railway, you will be cheerfully
furnished with the proper passport via
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
all of the "Short Line" trains arrive in
Chicago in ample time to connect with
the express trainB of all the great through
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
