Mr. and Mrs. A. Horst, two of Polk

will go to Kansas to visit another
daughter. They expect to return some
time in the fall. Mr. Horst seems to
feel the burden of his years more than
ever, while Mrs. Horst, also being close
to seventy years, is yet looking vigorous.
From a transcript taken from City
Clerk Becker's record of city council
proceedings it would appear that Coun
cilmen Newman and Welch are opposed
to the opening of Kummer, M, and P
streets across the railroad tracks, but
such, we learn is not, by any means the
case, the council standing now a unit, as
at the first, for opening all the streets.
The objection to the resolution referred
to, as prepared by the city attorney, was
that it ordered the street commissioner
to grade the streets in question before
the controversy waa settled or differen
ces adjusted, and the city compelled to
pay for work that others ought to do.
In Munsey's Magazine for this
month appears a brief sketch of General
Drake, who ia now governor of Iowa.
General Drake was among early front
iersmen and crooned the plains several
times before the Bebellion, being in the
'50's. The sketch speaks of his band of
twenty men being attacked by 300 Paw
nee Indiana at Shell Creek postoffice,
Nebraska. That postoffioe was at the Al
berson farm, east of this city a few
miles, where James Coventry now lives.
This was a notable piece of country in
the early daysaa aorose the river at Lin
wood ia where General Fremont and his
band stopped to recuperate when he
crossed the plains. Schuyler Quill.
Voters should remember that it is
their X opposite the candidates for
presidential electora that will count on
the ballot. These electora afterwards
do the voting for president. In 1892
California electors cast 8 votes for Cleve
land, 1 for Harrison; Michigan, 5 for
Cleveland, 9 for Harrison; North Da
kota, 1 for Cleveland, 1 for Harrison, 1
for Weaver; Ohio, 1 for Cleveland, 22 for
Harrison; Oregon, 3 for Harrison, 1 for
Weaver. It is well enough to be up to
"the tricks of the trade,'' and then you
will know how to meet them. We have
heard of man putting an X opposite
their favorites for president, and yet
Xing the electors of the opposition, thus
voting against their own wish.
On the night of July 19, harness be
longing to Harry Moagrove and also to

Bnsche at tha farm northwest of
city abouttwo months. One Sunday in
July, about four weeks ago, be waa left
alone at the premises, bat given access
to the kitchen the key being left with
him, so he could get' his dinner. -His
bed-room was in a different building
, from the family residence. On return
ing home ia the evening Mrs.BBScbe
noticed that somebody had been hers
and there through the house in their
absence, and asked Thandel if be .had
seen any stranger around; be replied
that ha had not. She found that tha
kitchen key would unlock other doom
of tha hoaaa, and she also fouad writing
paper and envelopes in his room. In
the meantime he gave notice that when
bis month expired he wished to seek
another situation.
After be was gone, it occurred to the
folks to look over the premises, when
they discovered that a gold watch, two
rings and other leas valuable things
were missing. A search warrant waa
got out aad a portion of the goods found
Thursday in Thandel's trunk. The
rings, he confessed to sending to bis
girl st Joliet..
He is a man about thirty years old.
The hearing was held before Judge
Kilian Monday and continued till
Thursday afternoon, for further testi
mony. Deaa tiardaer Dead.
A telegram from Bayfield, Wis., an
nounced the death there, by pneumonia,
at 12:30 Saturday morning last, of the
Tery Rev. C. H. Gardner, dean of the
Trinity Cathedral, Omaha.
He was taken sick Monday, but noth
ing serious waa expected until 11 o'clock
Friday night. He was 46 years old and
leaves a wife and six boys. Hewas at
Bayfield spending his vacation, as was
customary. He haa been a prominent
candidate for bishop of the' Episcopal
church a number of times.
The Dean had many friends in Colum
bus, and thev good regards of all who
knew him.
At the McKinley dab meeting
Thursday evening, J. N. Heater, George
Scott and Judge Kilian entertained the
audience with republican doctrine.
Neither of them expected to be called
on, and bo no set speeches were made.
Mr. Heater appealed to the voters to
stand by the principles of protection to
American interests, and sound money.
The main idea of George Scott's speech
was the suggestion to voters to compare
the different administrations which we
have had, and choose that party that
had always done right by the country
and given it prosperity. Judge Kilian's
speech was a hot fire along the dine.
The club meetings are well attended,
and are doing considerable good. We
think it would not be out of the.way to
have some discussions of the issues be
tween opposing candidates of theffeUffer
ent parties, after all get well nominated,
and ready for the campaign. The
weather is a little too hot yet for com
fort, but after the last presidential can
didate shall be named, the last aspirant
for local and district offices, then ought
to begin the arguments on the questions
now before the people. Politics, wheth
er theoretical or practical, is a problem
involving at once principles, parties and
candidates, and neither element can
safely be ignored. Sound principles as
the foundation; safe, practical, level
headed, common-sense men as builders
and workers, and the "temple of liberty"
is safe.
Suggestion is one of the moat
powerful and fertile faculties of the
mind, and news items are very often
more valuable for the suggestions they
contain than for anything else. The
Fremont Tribune of Saturday says:
"During the last electrical storm a
barn on Ben Mitchell's farm, seven miles
east of the city, wss struck by lightning
and two horses killed. The antics of the
electricity were very peculiar. It went
into the stable through the loft door
and when it struck the hay it seemed to
separate. There were sixteen horses in
the barn, eight on either side, and these
were all knocked down and two were
killed. One of the farm hands had just
gone into the barn and when the other
men got there he was lying among the
horses unconscious. After considerable
work he was brought to consciousness.
When he was undressed it was found
that half of his body was blackened by
the electricity. Four of the farm hands
had been sleeping in the barn but that
night they made up their minds to sleep
in a corn crib that had just been built.
Had they slept in the barn they all no
doubt would .have been killed. The
barn was not burned but several large
holes were made in it. Mr. Mitchell,
who was just going to the stable, wit
nessed the performance. It was about
5 o'clock in the morning."
The Platte Center Signal says that a
jolly crowd of sixteen ladies and gen
tlemen from Columbus came up in a
carry-all Wednesday and visited with
Mr. and Mrs. George Mack, and other
friends, returning home in the evening;
that the school board has secured the
services of B. J. Hilsabeck of Doniphan
as principal of the high school for the
coming term at S60 per month; that
Wm. Bloedorn left on Tuesday for a
twenty days' visit in the southern states.
He will visit with James Burrows at
Jackson, Miss., then he will go to New
Orleans, and from there to Crowley,
where there are a number of families
who formerly lived in Platte Center.
Mr. Bloedorn goes in hopes of regaining
health, as he has been suffering from a
severe pain in the bead for some time,
and he believes that a short stay in the
south may benefit him some.
The prospect now for the largest
crop of corn in the history of the state
is very good, sq4 it ii on the quick road
to good, solid ears. These be good
days for corn, and if the old fanner was
right who said that corn needs hot
aighta to mature good, there can be no
objection, made on that acofs either.
Very autayof the stalks are carrying
two large ears of good grain, and we
mias our reckoning much if Nebraska's
output of corn is not by far tha largest
in the history of the state. A great
crop of corn moans plenty tq live oa

Craig News: John Batchelder's family
and Everett Martin, with E. C. Mennell's
team, arrived in Craig Wednesday after
noon. They brought two burros with
them, which proved a great attraction to
the Craig boys. John Kennedy and
family stopped with friends in Colum
bus, but expect to reach home the last
of the week.
Madison Chronicle: Hugh Herbison
met with a painful accident last Friday
morning. He was coming down stairs
in the mill, when he stepped on a nail
sticking up through a board. The nail
went clear through the sole of his shoe
and into his foot nearly an inch. Dr.
Goesard dressed the wound and Hugh
ia able to get about, but he has a very
sore foot.
Schuyler Sun: Those who have
threshed their winter wheat report a
good yield and a good quality. Henry
Payzant says bis turned out twenty-five
bushels to the acre, and we hear of other
fields which have done equally as well.
From the results obtained the past few
years it would certainly seem as if our
farmers could do much better by sowing
winter wheat almost exclusively.
Humphrey Democrat: The editor and
wife, accompanied by Mrs. George
Smith, took a drive Sunday out to John
Mirre'a place on Shell Creek. John has
been farming on a large scale this year.
He had out 275 acres of small grain and
has 160 acres of corn. His corn is es
pecially fine, as is all the corn out in
that direction. He has commenced
threshing and finds that his 6mall grain
will be a good yield, oats going about 45
bushels to the acre, wheat about 16 and
rye about 25. On the return trip we
stopped at Supervisor Bender's and
passed a pleasant hour. Mr. Bender
has a well improved place with a fine
orchard. Speaking of orchards, it is
worthy of note that there are many fine
orchards in that neighborhood. A ride
through Nebraska fields at this time of
year convinces one that Nebraska is one
of the greatest wealth producing states
of the nation and that if we could only
obtain a fair 'price for our products we
would have one of the richest and most
iperous people in the qnioq.

Nsrbeb the republican party nor the
country .wants say tariff truce; on the
contrary, they want a protective tariff
put on the statute books at the earliest
practicable moment. The men who are
now advocating a tariff truce are the
men who have for years been advocating
free trade. A protective tariff victory is
what is wanted, and what will be had
next November.
The above front the Madison Chron
icle is eminently correct. The "free aad
unrestricted coinage tf silver" was the
only battle cry the opponents of repub
licanism had left that promised any
thing of a following. "Tariff reform"
wasn't able to get on its feet any more.
Three "years of Grover"had proved that
his wing of the party was not to be
trusted with the management of things
at Washington, and something different
had to be done. The song man tells the
story:
"Great Grovar Ilea ia clover.
While all the coaatrv over
Men are caaaia? him who never coeaed before.
Millioaa beg for work ia vain,
lent the "object leseoa" plain?
It ia just tha aaaa old story o'er and o'er.
Havias; rauwd thia great nation
With Free-Trade lesialatioB.
Now they're singing a very different song;
For they say with matchless gall
That free silver will care all,
And, aa nasal, you'll and that thay are wrong.
Bat aoaad money and Protection
Will carry the election.
For they cannot fool tha people any more;
Then McKinley and Hobart true,
Grover'e ruin will aado.
And prosperity '11 be with as aa before."
Hobs made a speech Wednesday night
at Lincoln to some three thousand people.
His hits were numerous and fetching.
Congress simply regulates and does not
create values; with business active,
money will be abundant; the whole doc
trine of trade rests upon an exchange of
equivalents, and the commerce of the
world is simply an effort on the part of
the people of the world to exchange
goods they do not desire for those which
they do desire, and the basis of such ex
change always must be an equivalent for
the goods surrendered. This law of
equivalents applies aa strictly when mo
ney is used in the transfer, as it applies
when business is simply done by barter;
silver is the shopping money of the com
mercial world, and very much more of it
ia being used today than has ever been
used at any former period in the history
of the world; today we have seven or
eight different kinds of money, and under
the republican party every dollar of that
money is of equal value.
The republican party favors real bi
metallism; the Cleveland democrats are
real gold metaUists; the Bryan wing,
real silver metallists. This is truly, in a
nutshell, the central motive, idea,
thought and intent of the several parties
on the use of metal as money. The
present policy is the declared purpose of
the republican party the largest possi
ble use of both metals as money, con
sistent with just principles, eaoh dollar
ss good as any other, and for the future
the same stability and solidity, and the
conversion of the commercial world to
our way of thinking, not only by words
of the mouth, but by commercial lan
guagein short, reciprocity.
At the populist state convention last
week at Hastings Silas A. Holcomb was
renominated by acclamation for gov
ernor; John C. Harris of Nemaha county
for lieutenant governor; W. F. Porter,
secretary of state; W. F. Cornell, audi
tor; J. B. Meserve, treasurer; J. A. Jack
son, superintendent of public instruc
tion; J. V. Wolfe, commissioner public
lands and buildings; Judge Neville and
Judge Bxrkpatrick, supreme court
judges. The state central committee
were instructed to place four populists
and four democrats on the ticket for
electors.
The Shelton Clipper wonders what
the line of conversation will be between
Bryan and Sewall when they meet again.
After a brief reference, probably, to the
sound-money democrats of Maine and
elsewhere, who will vote for McKinley,
the line of conference will doubtless de
flect to Watson of the south, snd the
populistic contingent of the head of the
ticket in which Sewall takes a lively
interest for defeat as to Watson. It
will be in order, perhaps, for Bryan to
visit Watson, and thus play the double
role for which he is billed.
The Central City Democrat is so emi
nently correct when it says, "all our
resources have been developed by Amer
ican labor, eating American food), clothed
with American cottQQ, working with
American, tools, protected by the Amer
ican tag," that it ia absurd in support
ing a doctrine whose effect is snd has.
always been just the Qprosiie of the
above. Protection and reciprocity are
Winni for America every time.
The great majority of people in this
country are bimetallista, and favor both
gold and, srf currency. For that
fsaspn they will vote for William Mc
Kialey, and not for silver monometallism
aad Bryan, or gold aAooametalKsm. rep
reseate by the other wing of the demo
cratic party. Inter Ocean.

Inspector McLaughlin has arranged to
buy for the government an area of ten
miles square in the Shoshone and Arap
ahoe reservation in Wyoming. The tract
includes the hot springs at the head of
the Big Horn river in the Ocol mountains
in the northwestern part of the state, sad
the scenery is picturesque and magnifi
cent. The springs themselves are al
ready famous, being visited by many
persons for their curative qualities, and
altogether the government has probably
not made a bad bargain in agreeing to
purchase the tract for 860,000. The pol
icy is a wise one which sets apart some
of the most impressive and sublime of the
wonderlands of this continent of ours to
public uses, and the day is not distant
whe they will far more than repay their
cost aa the pleasure grounds and resorts
of a multitude. fN. Y. Sun.
"These was a gentleman from Ne
braska a few years ago in congress,"
writes a Kansas man to the Topeka
Capital, "who used his oratorical pow
ers in favor of a jump into the low
tariff bramble bush, from which the
country had emerged two or three times
before in a mutilated condition. As
that congress was generally of the same
quality of wisdom, Uncle Sam was forced
to make the leap. Now with eyea and
factory fires put out, wandering blind
and hungry in the darkness, the same
previous and precocious youth leads up
to another bush which, he assures ua on
the honor of a populist, has sight re
storing power, snd exhorts his victim to
jump.in."
The list of victims of the hest st Chi
cago last Saturday was appalling. The
ordinary death rate in the city ia fifty a
day, but those last week were 200 above
the average. Nearly all the 109 deaths
reported Saturday were traceable more
or less directly to the beat. Saturday
was the third successive day that St.
Louis has been the hottest city in the
United States, st 5 p. m. 103'. Sixty
eight persons were under treatment for
prostration by heat during the day.
Hox. Oblakdo Teptt of Cass county,
republican candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, is one of the ablest men in state
politics. He has served with distin
guished ability during several sessions
of the legislature and has rendered his
party very important services. His hon
or is above reproach and his talents are
such as fit him for any offce within the
gift of the people of this commonwealth.

Ciacde H. Hoover, the murderer of
Samuel Dubois, was executed at Omaha
Friday morning, at 11:37. Thirteen
minutes after the drop fell he was pro

killed my friend. I made my sister a
widow and took from children, whom I
