of learning French and German.
aBrainard Sons Co, 161 Wabash
avenue, Chicago, have sent us a copy of
their "Silver Songs," a free silver song
book for this campaign. The songs are
probably aa good as any of their kind.
Of course The Journal thinks the kind
are not the right standard, but if such
songs must be sung, this little book is
as good as any.
Another "Boston notion" is baths in
connection with school houses. The
advocate of the plan aaya that the death

the hjfhrmt in .the world. It is found
that school baths conduce to discipline

the formation of decent habits and the
care of the person and of clothing.

Mr. Goaldiag of Kearney called at
Journal headquarters Thursday with
CoL Meagher. Mr. Goulding represents
the Union Pacific immigration and pas
senger interest, and is just now looking
after the G. A. R. encampment at St
Paul, Minnesota, Sept 1-4, to awell the
crowd that will go there on Union Pa
cific lines. We learned from him that
the headquarters' train will leave Oma
ha Monday evening, August 31.
Next week Thursday evening, Sep
tember 3d. at the opera house, J. J.
Simpson of Lincoln will give an exhibit
of the wonderful capacity of the new
Edison phonograph with concert audi
phone, so that the songs, whistling and
band selections, talking, etc., are repro
duced with great exactness, and make a
fine evening's entertainment Ten cents
is the price of admission, and Mr. Simp
son should be greeted with a crowded
house.
Sunday night a week ago, the joke
was on a party of sereoaders, who came
to John Eisenmann's place to put up
the charivari still customary in some
places on such occasions. The noise,
(st a little distance) was not sufficient to
overcome the organ and the voices of
the singers inside the house, and when,
afterwards, it was learned that the mar
riage did not take pUce till the next
day, the aerenaders concludecLthat they
had pUyed a joke on themselves.
We are in receipt of a copy of "Our
Home News," a little paper issued by
the Nebraska Home for the Friendless
st Lincoln. Perhaps there are some of
our readers in need of the offices of this
institution, who are not even aware of
its existence; its object is "to give shel
ter and protection to homeless women
and children of Nebraska and to place
surrendered children in permanent
homes." Mrs. M. Williams superin
tendent, may be addressed by any one
interested.
Rev. Z. C. Rush of Madera, Calif.,
was in the city several days last week
and preached Sunday morning at the
Baptist church to a crowded house, and
among the number were a few of his old
congregation. His theme was the Sec
ond Coming of the Savior, the main
thoughts being that the scriptures state
it as a fact yet to be, not, however, dis
closing the time.- The exhortation was
to be ready at all times, and patiently
wait Mr. Rush wss to preach at Bell
wood Sunday evening, expecting to re
turn, and start for his home today.
The picnic on Shell Creek Sunday,
given by the Farmer Boys' Cornet Band
was well attended, there being quite a
large number who went out from town.
The day was most beautiful for out-door
sport and the boys had everything ar
ranged ao that all could enjoy them
selves. Dancing was kept np until a
late hour. The game of ball was a one
sided affair, the Shell Creek nine being
too many for the Scofield'e. Only five
innings were played, the score being 10
to 2 in favor of Shell Creek. Umpires,
Clother and Lebo. The speeches of
"Cody" Priest and Peter Smith gave
zest to the occasion.
We have a state Uw which provides
for the free attendance of students
whose education cannot be profitably
carried farther ia their own district, at
some neighboring public high school,
tuition at the rate of 50 ceats per week
being paid to each high school by the
county in which the student resides.
The Uw has resulted in bringing into
the high schools of the state, during the
first year of the Uw's operation, more
than 2,000 students from the country
districts. In PUtte county, the stats
superintendent has designated as ap
proved list of , high schools for this pur
pose: Columbus, Humphrey, Lindsay
and PUtte Center.

The Fortieth anniversary of the
eettlemeut of PUtte county is to bs cel
ebrated in thia city, Thursday, SesUm
bar 10th, and ooaeiderabU preparatioa
ia being made for the occasion. Every
body in PUtte and adjoining eouatiea
is invited. The first native-born boy
who became mayor (Gus B. Spates) will
deliver the address of welcome, to which
one of the old pioneers (Hon. H. J. Hud
son) will respond. Instrumental muaio
will be furnished by the brass bands of
the county and the drum corps, and
vocal music by the Orpheus aociety of
Columbus and a quartette of Monroe
township, besides familiar airs by the
pioneers. Co. K, Nebraska National
Guards, will give an exhibition drill,
and the bicycle club will parade and
give exhibitions of speed. It will be a
true gala day. Bring well-filled baskets,
and enjoy yourselves.
Judge North, who delivered an ad
dress at Batavia, N. Y., is quoted as
saying, "At the death of the husband,
the wife could get along with the chil
dren, and do fairly well, if she could
have the same chance her husband
would if she had died, if she could have
all to go right on with. Having only
one-third the use of the farm makes
trouble and misery." And this is one of
the very many good reasons why the
education of boys and girls should be
equal (only limited by the capacity to
learn); why, in the life-partnership called
marriage, there should be absolute, mu
tual trust and confidence between the
members of the firm, and, as the natural
result, a thorough knowledge of the
business of the firm by both members
and all concerned. "Shall women learn
the alphabet?" seems to be a question
not even yet fully answered.
Company K of the Nebraska Na
tional Guard, at their meeting Tuesday
night of last week adopted the name of
Whitmoyer Rifles, in honor of our dis
tinguished townsman Colonel M. Whit
moyer, one of the veterans of the War
of the Rebellion. Incidents like this
are of the finer tokens of our common
human nature. Recognition of worth in
any line of manly endeavor is always
gratifying to see, and when that recog
nition is of bravery, constancy and
fidelity as a soldier of the greatest and
best government on earth, it has an
added beauty, for it not only recognizes
the patriotic service of a quarter century
ago, but the enduring worth of the man
(aud through him of all men of like
mind), who stood for the welfare of the
country and the integrity of their and
our government Without what they
were, and what they did, who can tell
where we would be today? Besides
this, the incident certifies to qualities on
the part of the young militiamen, simi
lar to those they recognize in the soldier
whom they honor. When occasion calls,
they will no doubt evidence these traits
of character by the honorable records
they will make in the service of their
country.
There are certain lines of officiaU
whom it seems always allowable to play
a prank upon when convenient One
of these lines is the executive depart
ment of the city, the one who hu lately
been wearing a cane. He tells anxious
friends (and there are a host of them)
who inquire of him what the trouble is,
that he hurt his leg stepping through a
sidewalk, but to those who know the
truth, this excuse is immaterial, irrele
vant and not to.be admitted in evi
dence. The fact is said to be that the
unnamed official had occasion to go to
the fish pond at the northwest of the
city, and, not having his bicycle handy,
and being a little averse to walking such
a long distance, he boarded a U. P. train
with the understanding that the en
gineer was to alow up so be could get
off. As the train approached the de
sired place the city offidal became a
little suspicious that he had been "for
gotten" or something, and so, while the
train was going at a good speed, he
jumped off, and plowed the ground for
a while with his rather heavy foot-gear.
Of course the train slowed up, but it is
sometimes (as in this case) unfortunate
that people do not agree exactly aa to
time and place.
A dance was given at the Maenner-
chor ball Thursday evening last in honor
of Misses Maude Brown and Helen

fore patting them oa ths market, as
they are worth mors st the present time
to farmers than the geaeral market
affords.
Ths lodged straw and heavy growth
of vegetation on ths stubbU fields
makes it very difficult to do fall plow
ing. Some farmers are mowing the
weeds and then burning them when dry
enough and ws believe that to be the
best way to do the work thoroughly.
Thomas Johnson and Owen McGann
have each a piece of fine buckwheat in
full bloom, and what ia more beautiful!
Let every farmer plant two acres of that
grain for two yean.in succession and
harvest before shelling out and we will
venture to aay that ha will never discard
that crop afterwards.
Winter wheat was the best crop har
vested here this summer, so far, and to
those who cannot find work to keep
them busy on ths farm we would say to
commence now to fall plow. Plow the
ground thoroughly not less than five
inches deep; then harrow until pulver
ized. Then, with a press drill plant the
ground to fall wheat, patting the aeed
about three inches deep in rows east and
west Wheat free from rye, and accli
mated to thia latitude is preferable, re
member, then, you will have to rustle
out of your cornfields about ths first of
July to gather the grain.
The "McKlaley Tin" Cane.
Last week C. W. Talbitzer received a
number of "McKinley tin" canes from
his brotber-in-Uw in Niles, Ohio. These
canes are made by the Niles Tin Cane
company, aad are souvenirs from the
birthplace of our next president They
are made from a special brand of tin
called "McKinley tin," manufactured by
the Falcon iron and tin company.
These canes were first made five years
ago when McKinley ran against Camp
bell for governor. Campbell said in a
speech that no one within the sound of
his voice would ever live to see tin plate
manufactured in Niles, but todsy that
town has the largest tin .plate mill in the
United States, and probably in the world,
as a result of the protection afforded by
the McKinley tariff Uw.
These canes are a good campaign doc
ument and an argument in favor of pro
tection. Monroe Republican.
B. A. Tawney is county clerk at
Pierce. Mr. Briar is a farmer near
there. Ths Utter was in town one day
and falling into conversation with Taw
ney, he wished to know of him what was
meant by free coinage of silver, and it
was explained to him. Then he wished
to know how it was about the mortgage
businesB. He had heard that if there
was free and unlimited coinage of silver,
a mortgage for $1000 could be paid off
for about $500. Tawney said that that
would be the effect of it "You're sure
that is the way it will be?" "Yes," eaid
Tawney, "you can pay your mortgage
with just about half what it cost you."
"Oh, but I'm the fellow that holds the
mortgage!"

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
OrUado Tefft,the aags of Avooa,ia
like MacOoU, a pioaeer of Nebraska. Ha
waa borate Elgin, 11L, where he received
an academic education. He came to
Nebraska in 1867, and eettled at Avoca,
Cass county, where he has since resided,
aad eagaged ia farming. He was elected
to the state asnate four different times
oa the republican ticket in 1879, 1861,
1893 and .1806. Hs waa a candidate for
congress in the early days, but was de
feated for the nomination by the late A.
J. Weaver. He again aspired for con
gressional honors in 1886, but Church
Hows carried off the plum. Mr. Tefft
ia a man of wealth and culture and U
known in every county of the state.
The editor of The Journal can add
to the foregoing that be served with Mr.
Tefft in one of the numerous sessions of
the senate which that gentleman helped
to make interesting, lively end useful,
namely that of 1879-80, and takes pleas
use in saying to readers of The Journal
that Orlando ia one of those plain, matter-of-fact,
solid people that generally
keep the even tenor of their way, mind
ing their own busineas strictly, keeping
both eyea and both ears open and both
hands ready to strike when occasion re
quires. Orlando is bidextrous, and hu
left-handed hits are even more surpris
ing than his right-handed ones, at times.
Although a medium-sized man, physi
cally, hia brain ia a good deal more than
the ordinary weight and fineness, and if
any contingency should call him to the
governor's chair, be would be equal to
all the tasks of that office. He is a cool,
level-headed man, and takes an accurate
survey of the situation, not only from
his own standpoint, but also from that
of the opposition, whatever, whenever or
wherever it may be. He is naturally a
sharp-shooter and u either on the skir
mish line of truth or eke in the first
line of battle, facing the enemy. We
know that when he has to retreat be is
the slowest in the rear guard, and
fighting aa long aa there is any use in
fighting. He will preside over the sen-
sto with perfect fairness, impartiality
and courtesy.
A simon-pure democrat startled the
Bryan club at Lincoln the other even
ing by a proposition to them to organize
a syndicate for speculative purposes.
Silver-bar silver was quoted the day
before in New York at 67 cents an ounce.
Now 67 from 1.29 leaves 62 cents. And
what would be safer than to invest now
and. wait till after the election of Bryan,
and sell at 1.29? President O'Jee
showed signs of anger, but only said
"You're no democrat," but the stranger
quietly replied "You're a liar. I have
voted the democratic ticket thirty years,
and I will be voting the democratic
ticket when your man Bryan will be
running for a county office on the pop
ticket"
A. M. True arrived home from the
City of Mexico last Wednesday for a
month's visit He is wearing a suit of
clothes which he paid 950 for in that free
silver country and which any Tecnmseh
merchant would duplicate for $10. Mr.
True has been in Mexico for about nine
months, but he has utterly failed to
detect the beauties of free silver. He
says the most of the Mexicans are
hoping that Bryan will be elected for
the reason that they expect free coinage
-by the United States will double the
value of their depreciated money. Te
cnmseh Chieftain.
In 189 observes the Omaha Bee,
Bryan's personal organ, the Omaha
World-Herald, was so firmly convinced
that the United States could not restore
the value of silver to $1.29 an ounce that
it kept its article denouncing "the dis
honest ratio of l'to 16" standing at the
head of its editorial columns for over a
week.
Twenty-seven years of protec
tion (1865 to 1893) decreased our
public debt $1,74701,878.
Three years of free trade (1893
to 1896) increased our public debt
$262,329,630.
