Last week Thursday in Valley pre
cinct, Polk county, a child of Saback
Kanture was crushed to death in a most
horrible manner by the engine of a steam
thresher. It is said that the child un
known to the engineer was under the
engine hunting mice when it was started
and again backed, a wheel thus twice
passing over the child's head and shoul
ders. We give the above on informa
tion which seems to be reliable. It is
too awful to think of.
The above we clip from the Silver
Creek Times. Chas. Easton tells us the
boy was eight year's old, and August
Godeky is the owner of the machine.
Will Hagel was asked to come over
to the Orpheus hall Saturday evening,
and when he got there he found assem
bled about a hundred and fifty of the
members of the society, their wives and
friends, who had taken this means of
surprising Mr. and Mrs. Hagel on the
tenth anniversary of their wedding.
"Turkey" was called upon for a speech,
but was completely dumb-founded, so
he says. Doubtless, it was the sudden
enlargement of his already big "heart
that closed his mouth for the moment.
The presents were numerous and use
ful. Refreshments were served, and
those present enjoyed a very pleasant
evening.
Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Speice enter
tained Friday from 4 until 10 o'clock at
their beautiful new home, the occasion
being a house warming. Over four
hundred invitations were sent out and
great throngs took advantage of the
beautiful weather to attend. Misses
Dene Kavanaugh and Lettie Speice,
both gowned in white, received the
guests at the door who were then met
by Mr. and Mrs. Speice. The Mandolin
club furnished music for the occasion.
Refreshments were served in the dining
room by Misses Katharine Speice, Lora
Becher and Hattie Scofield. Gus Bech
er, jr., escorted the guests through the
house. Mr. and Mrs. Speice have one of
the cosiest homes in the city, and
throughout the arrangements show an
artistic taste.
During the night Monday William
Hagel's cigar store on Eleventh street
was broken into at a rear door, and
about twenty dollars' worth of cigars,
loose and in boxes and a box of chewing
tobacco, carried off by the thieves
The screen door was first wrenched
from the hook that fastened it, and the
upper panels of the inside door broken
in. The same place waa twice burglar
ized when occupied by Mr. Loeb. The
rear door of Wagner's saloon was tam
pered with the same night, but no
damage done. Franz Nather sleeps np
stairs, but heard nothing unusual after
the time for closing saloons. Aa we go
to press, there has no clew to the bur
glars developed. Mr. Hagel desires us
to request 'his "friends" to leave him
alone and visit a richer man.

There was considerable informal talk
on the fuel question, and no little ten
dency toward corn as a fuel supply,
present price and supply prevailing, as
being a saving over coal of any kind;
making a satisfactory fuel, and helping
the home market for an important pro
duct. The action taken however was to
order the purchase of a half ton of coke
for each of the city schools, in order to
test its heating qualities, it being
claimed that four torts of it are equal to
five of the best Pennsylvania hard coal.
The price is $7.75 a ton.
The secretary was directed to write
the word "paid" upon fourteen bonds of
$500 each of the district, paid more than
a year, ago, and present the same at the
county clerk's office for record as can
celled bonds of the district.
Adjourned.
Messrs. Meagher, Brock, Winslow,
Owens, Norvall Tannahill, Wise, J. G.
Pollock and J. H. Galley went to Fre
mont Wednesday of last week to see the
visiting old generals, Sickles, Howard,
Alger, Corporal Tanner, Mulholland,
Stewart and Manderson. The first four
named made short addresses and there
was an immense crowd of people present
to hear them speak for the election of
McKinley, and the bringing back again
of prosperity to the business and to the
homes of the people. Gen. Sickles,
among other things, said he had been a
democrat for fifty years, and he was one
of 300,000 democrats who could not and
would not vote for Bryan, and he didn't
think that any other honest democrat
could endorse the platform adopted at
Chicago, and the candidate who is
standing on it. Mr. Brock introduced
himself to Gen. Sickles and called his
attention to the fact that on the morn
ing of May 3, 1863, at the battle of
Chancellorville he had been sent as an
orderly by Gen. Whipple to deliver a
message to Gen. Sickles, but failed to do
so because his horse was shot down
under him. CoL Meagher had a con
versation with Gen. Howard as to an
incident at Gen. Sherman's headquar
ters in which the two had taken a lively
personal interest. It waa remarked by
both generals that on this trip they had
been several times reminded of incidents
happening during the
Chicago Inter Ocean and CorTJXBrs

The bond of Xax Gottberg as mad orersacr af

proved. The republican convention for taa
nomination of a float representative ia
this district met at Colaraboa the 29tk
alt. The convention was entirely har
momooa and Mr. David Thomas of
Platte coanty waa the unanimous choice
of the convention. From what we can
learn of Mr. Thomas he will make aa
exceedingly interesting and wianiBg
fight against the popocratic nominee ia
this district. Mr. Thomas ts a tamer
who' farms land.
So says the Fallerton News. Mr.
Thomas is well known to hundreds of
our Platte coanty readers as not only a
farmer who farms land (aad not one who
"farms farmers"), bat also one who doss
well what he undertakes to ao. David
Thomas has worked hard to eara what
he possesses; he appreciates the valae of
the general welfare as condacing to in
dividual prosperity, aad has therefore
been a repablieaa all these years; he ia
not in any sense an iaaV.i inker, bat if
elected, will faithfully discharge the
duties of the oflce. David Thomas is
one of Abraham Lincoln's plain people,
and yoa will know just where to lad
aim every time doing his duty, wheth
er at home or at Lincoln.
