It is taken for granted that they upheld the republi can cause in fine shape, in a plea for good laws and good business principles in the conduct of government affaire. Alfred Marmoy, aged two aad a half yearn, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Marmoy, died Saturday, after a very brief illness. The funeral services were held from the home Monday afternoon. The parenta have the sympathy of their many friends in this, their first sad be reavement George Smith is gaining ground on his opponent and if he could make the canvass of the district would stand a show of being elected, notwithstanding the odds against him. Mr. Smith is a solid, fair-minded man, who will, as a member of the state legislature, do jus tice to every interest EcL, son of L Gluck, met with an accident yesterday morning about 8. He had mounted a stump in the yard to cast a rug onto a clothes line, and in the throw lost his balance pitching forward off the etump falling to the ground, fracturing the left fore arm. Dr. Evans waa called in and set the fractured bone. Marriage licenses have been issued recently by Jndge Kilian to the follow ing parties: John Groteleusohen and Matilda W.

At Schutte's school house, Colfax county, Saturday night an enthusiastic meeting of republicans was addressed by S. C. Gray, candidate for senator, by W. M. Cornelius, also of this city, by Mr. Bula, editor of the Schuyler Sun, Judge Brown of Schuyler, James Lang- ley and another bright young orator whose name we did not learn. C. W. Ziegler says a western man insists that hogs running on alfalfa never have the cholera. Zeigler has lost a few but they were not on alfalfa. None of his have been eick that were running on alfalfa. If the western man's statement is correct, alfalfa will do more for Nebraska than the most sanguine expected. Monroe jjooKing Glass. Something like a hundred friends of the family surprised Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Turner Monday evening about eight o'clock at their residence, in the city, and served refreshments later along. Music, games and conversation were the chief sources of entertainment and amusement It is our hearty wish that we may live to be able to return the compliment to all who were present Last Friday, after complaint had been made by John P. Abts, in the county court, Judge Kilian issued a warrant for the arrest of John Seipp and Fred Krug, the charge being sale of liquor without a license. Search was made at a certain wooden building, lots 7 and 8 on the Union Pacific right of way, and 139 kegs of beer seized by Deputy Sheriff Gentleman. We sup pose the end is not yet The county clerk has received from the State of Nebraska 26,000 copies of the ballot to be used by the voters of Platte county in expressing their wish on the proposed constitutional amend ments. Study the propositions as printed in The Journal, get your sam ple ballots and you can prepare it so that when election day comes, a moment or two will only be necessary to spend in the booth on your official ballot David Thomas was in the city Mon day on business. He is now on the go getting acquainted with his constituen cy. We feel sure that if be could make the whole rounds in the limited time there would be little question about bis success in the campaign. We call at tention again to the life-record that he has made in this county, one whose re corded facta he may well be proud of. He will attend to the district business with care and fidelity. Mr. Gray will make a very compe tent senator from this district Thor oughly equipped for the position as to information of the needa of the district and state, he will bring to bear upon the discharge of the duties of the office the same motives, the same principles, the same force of reasoning that he has been wont to exercise in the conduct of his individual affaire. Honor him with your ballot, and he will honor you with his service in the senate. C J. Garlow is well known to many JounxAii readers. As a citizen and as an attorney his standing is not at all changed by the fact that he is a candi date for county attorney. A vote for him will not be out of place; it will be the proper thing in this campaign. Mr. Garlow is constituted by ability and character to look thoroughly after the legal business of the county, and he will twice over save his salary to the county by his care and watchfulness. Rev. Myers, the former pastor of the M. E. church at Schuyler, was assigned the Columbus church by the bishop at the recent conference m Al bion. Rev. Myers whs, it seeuM, not popular with a majority of the church members in Schuyler, but he drew large crowds from outsiders and in order to keep him, his friends have offered him a huge salary and he has decided to re main in Schuyler, leaving the Metho dist church. This leaves that denomi nation of this city to be supplied by aansn other preacher. The republican candidate for float representative was born September L 185'at (irairtheaalure, rJMth Wales: He left that couatry, for America on the 23d day of April, 1872. He arrived at Columbus, Near., Hay 6,-1872, and has resided in Platte county ever since, en gaged all the while in farming. His list farm was a homestead of ISO acres; he has acquired altogether 1021 acres of land, and has no esnsabraace on the or indeed one dollar of indebted of any kind. Mr. Thomas is blessed with a wife aad six children, four sons and two daugh ters. With their aid, supplemsntiag his own management he has earned his position in the world. His word is as good aa his bond, and yon can rely on what he tells you, politically or other wise. Mr. Thomas ia not an seeker; not a politician in any but that in which every man interested in the public welfare is a politician. His nomination by the district conven tion on the 29th of September was un sought by him, and was unanimous. Wise in deeds, when be represents you at Lincoln you can count on your work being as carefully done by bim as is his own work at home. Now is the time to subscribe for Thk Columbus Jouknal and the Lincoln Journal, semi-weekly, both for $2.00 a year. Three papers a week at a cost of less than 4 cents a week. F. H. Ball's team got scared at a train Monday and ran away, breaking the wagon tongue, double trees, etc The race was made from near Boett cher's east on Eleventh street, south towards Leavy's, breaking in at his lawn. One of the horses was caught on the Loup bridge, the other swimming across the Loup and getting into Bar num's pasture. Nobody hurt so far as known. Mr. Ball was about to tie the team to a post but a friend proffered to hold them. The engine whistle was too much for them. AttheDrinnin school house Satur day evening last there was a very at tentive crowd present Karl Kramer spoke about fifteen minutes on the gen eral issues; C. A. Woosley followed in a speech of an hour and a half on the money questions of the campaign, and J. N. Heater a half hour, giving his opinions as to what is the matter with the country and the remedies that should be applied. He entreated those present to vote for honesty, sound money and protection to American in dustries, by casting their ballot for Mc Kinley. In S. C. Gray the citizens of the Twenty-sixth senatorial distriot will have a representative of their business interests who will do them strict justice at the state capitol. He believes in the transaction of public business on the same general principles as that of pri vate business. He is a trained thinker and is fearless in the expression of his opinions, ue is well informed in pub lic matters and would, no doubt, from the opening of the session to its close take leading part in all important measures before the senate. He is not a politician, in the narrow sense of that term, but a business man, named 'for this important and honorable office be cause bis fellow-citizens know him as just-minded, safe, careful, fair and watchful of the public welfare. The loss of Judge E. R. Dean and Shelby Hastings to the Bryan forces of David City has caused considerable ex citement in their camp. Two votes for McKinley, with what they can do to add others to their own, are not to be sneezed at in Butler county. Republicans there are beset on all hands by their political opponents, but are abundantly able to confute all their so-called arguments, if they are not able to stop their clamor, which would indeed be difficult to do. Some people think that in Platte county (where every gathering of three or more men any time during day or evening is almost sure to be found discussing poli tics), the excitement is too intense at times, but it is only a fraction of what Butler county shows. In the heat of talk on politics over there men fre quently lose their temper, and they have even resorted to blows to enforce their views. This is not good politics, no matter which side strikes first or which side succeeds in such an "argument" The Thursday night meeting of the McKinley club was well attended, and it was a good meeting. The Ladies' Club had been invited and were out in force, there being more than fifty pres ent. A good speech was delivered by J. G. Reeder, who talked republicanism for'nearly an hour, and had the closest attention of the crowd. He was in favor of placing the ballot in the hands of the noble women of America, and by so doing the country would be safe. He was followed by C. A. Woosley, who spoke for about thirty minutes on the issues of this campaign. He was on the ladies' aide and also thought one who voted should at least be able to read and write the English language; with such a qualification a voter could de posit a ballot with some intelligence. President Kramer closed the speaking with a few well chosen remarks. The Ladies' quartette sang several good campaign songs, each rendered in pleas ing style eliciting the applause of their auditors. While out riding near a school building one day recently, one of our town ladies noticed three little girls, one the daughter of her wash woman, the other two fashionably-dressed chil dren. She also noticed that the two children plainly showed the other that they felt "above" her. The lady in the carriage immediately asked her wash woman's daughter to get into the car riage and she would take her home. The change of countenance of the three children, the one to triumph and pleas ure, the other two to astonishment and envy was very noticeable. This meas uring companions by the clothes they wear is too frequent, and the truth can not be too often or too strongly enforced that "appearances are deceptive"; in that wonderful paragraph of the world's great sketcber of character, beginning "the world is still deceived with orna ment' Shakspeare describes the false appearance as "the seeming Truth which cunning Times put on to entrap the wisest" It is intellectual to look for the underlying motive of the act or word, and to test yourself by the seati- it that rises to view.

Tetrick of Worthington, West Va.-fBanner, David City. George C. Smith. . The republican candidate for repre sentative of Platte county was born at Syracuse, New York, April 3, 1856. The family moved to Whiteside coun ty, Illinois, and two years afterward went to Rook Island county, same state, where they resided until they moved to Nebraska in 1880, settling in Lost Creek township near Monroe, where they have since resided. In 1881 Mr. Smith waa married to Miss Lizzie Naylor, and is the happy father of three children. Mr. Smith's father, J. R, with his brothers, are all well and very favorably known in their community as men of integrity, industrious, careful, prudent painstaking in all their work and thor oughly alive to the best interests of township, county, state and nation. George attended the public schools near his childhood's home, but his main training in the science and practice of thinking has been, like so many of America's nobly-great men, "near Na ture's heart," and among the stern reali ties that more or lees environ all who strive onward and upward. Mr. Smith is one of those quiet men who do not thrust themselves forward, but who take their place in the rank and file, and desire only the welfare of all, and their share of the public prosperity. He believes in maintaining the integri ty of the government; he stands for the solid principles of the republican party and will, in the legislature, be as care ful of your interests as of his own. Farmer Held Us. Louie Mick and Joe Karmon, thrifty farmers, living about nine miles from Leigh over in Stanton county, went to Clarkson last Thursday, sold hogs and, it being after banking houro, the check was cashed at a hardware store in $10 bills. It seems that Mick, was obliged to go to a saloon to get change, which necessitated showing his money. The Leigh World tells the remainder of the story: "Three men from the Wisbard ranoh, whose names we were unable to learn, were in town at the same time and saw Louie and his friend cash their checks. These men were of a tough looking character and have been suspected of several depredations that have been committed about the ranch of late. It seems that these men waited about Clarkson until Mr. Mick and his friend started for home and then followed them on the road. After Louie and his neighbor had parted Louie was halted by three masked men one of whom struck him over the head with a beer bottle cutting a severe gash in his scalp and knocking him senseless, after which they robbed him of his money and skipped. After becoming conscious Mr. Mick drove on home where he dressed his wounds aa best he could. Early Friday morning he went to Stanton and made complaint against the men whom he had recognized by their voices and clothing. The deputy sheriff immediately started in pursuit of the men, two of whom he found at the ranch and the third he cap tured in Leigh. They were taken to Stanton and given a preliminary hear ing Monday. They plead guilty to the charge and are now awaiting their sen tence. The money stolen from Mr. Mick was also recovered." A later account gives a different phase of the assault Mick made a hard fight before he was overpowered and robbed, and in the melee with the highwaymen, he tore the mask from the face of one of the robbers and identified him as one of the men who had followed him. The close of the account says that Mick's injuries, while painful, are not serious. Baal Estate TraMfer.

The article on the sugar best industry in Nebfawta iu TwNJotbtui jnst ra? eeived interests me. Allow ate to prophesy a little. MeKialey-is to be elected. Home industries are to be pro tected; indading those of the faraaer. AaioBg other products, the sugar con earned in the United States is largely to be maaufactnred in this country. U Nebraska doss not join in the honor and profit of snpplyiag this staple, it will be for lack of eeterpriee in her peo ple, not of proper soil or climatic con ditions. I recently visited our Ghiao factory, now the largest beet-sugar factory ia this country. It ia a wonderfully inter esting spot at this season. Seven hun dred tons of beets wars being converted every 94 boars. The field work and the hauling keep an army of man aad teams busy. The thonaands of acres on which the beets are raised are just that many acres taken from the competition with other crops. The hundreds of men em ployed are so many withdrawn from the ordinary labor market. Nebraska can well spare some of her rich corn lands for thia new crop. In this state the industry is no longer an experiment A Colorado capitalist closed a contract with the farmera near Anheim in an adjoining county, by which they bind themselves to raise several thousand acres of beets, and he to have a factory costing $400,000 ready to use them next season. Clans 8prekles, the California Sugar King, haa just returned from an extended ex amination of the sugar beet culture and the factories in Germany and France. He is enthusiastic over the outlook for the industry in this state and is now examining different localities with refer ence to locating factories that he has determined on building. California has the advantage of a longer season, but Nebraska is nearer the great markets, and should produce a liberal portion of the $90,000,000 worth of sweets that now come from abroad, but with reas onable tariff laws will soon or later be produced at home. The brave stand for honest money the home state of Bryan ia making is an en couragement throughout the states. The silver sentiment, as you know, was deep-seated here, but our people are making a vigorous fight and could southern California decide the matter the state would go strong for McKinley. Even as it is those in best position to judge insist we shall carry the state. J. H. Reed. Riverside, Calif. St. Catharlae Keaaiag Circle. WiU meet with Mrs. A. J. Smith, Thursday evening, Oct 22.

In substance, it is as follows: "Gentlemen over 21: "When this you see, remember me. "I accept in writing. "I am willing to furnish affidavits, if necessary, that I accept. "Tom keeps hollering for the core, but there ain't going to be no core. 'The gold standard is a orf ul thing. "It is the worsest thing (for other people) that ever roamed around loose and gnawed upon the vitals of the peo ple, for the people, by the people. "If it ain't put down, it will put us down. "I am doing my best to put the gold standard down. "I salt part of the gold standard down every time I collect a freight bill. "With these object lessons about me, little need have we for history and sta tistics and the studies of scholars. "The free and unlimited coinage of silver is the sole remedy with which to check the wrongs of today; to undo the ruin of the past; to cure measles, and mugwumps, and erysipelas, and mumps, and tooth-and-toe-nails, and osteopathy, and plutocracy, and appendicitis, and chicken-pox, and vox populi, and misery-in-back, and crick-in-the-neck, and all the evils of the human race, includ ing a political race.

The Chicago Record is endeavoring to gather by postal-card an expression of opinion, also the proposed vote of ten per cent of the electors in the twelve states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri. At the last presidential election these twelve states cast 4,581,570 votes, or over one-third of the entire vote of the country, and the Record believes that its canvass will indicate pretty faithfully the result of the presidential election. The Journal editor votes for McKinley, and gives the following reasons, which were requested, in brief: McKinley is a good man ani mated by love of country and love of his fellow-men; he is able, sound every way; he is an old soldier fought for his country in his young manhood, risk ing more than life for the general wel fare; he knows all his country and its varied interests he is a spherical statesman; he is a toiler, purposing his country's good; with him, thoughts are exponents of character, and words the embodiment of thoughts, when he talks, he says something, he is sincere. He is not an extremist.
