It seems strange to.see AlLuth and E. A. Gerrard on any ticlDat not named prohibition, but this yearthey are both on the ticket called National," Luth for presidential elector, and Allen for state auditor. We notice that J. J. H.' Beedy, for merly a resident here, is associate editor of the National Single Taxer, and is fur nishing for the Nebraska Farmer a series of articles on the Single Tax Re form. Mrs. W. H.

He had been afflicted with malaria while living in the south. Nich Blasser was in the city Satur day. He had been for several days mak ing improvements for Samuel Imhoff on his farm in Nance county. He says the ranchmen up there are paying the farm ers of their neighborhood 15 eta. a bushel for corn for feeding purposes. Vote for the Repub lican Presidential elec tors, beginning with Al bert J. Burnham and closing with Frank J. Sadilek. The Norfolk News says that a circu lar saw 54 inches in diameter at Buck's mill at Jacksonville flew into pieces while at full speed and cut things up in a way that shocked the hands. Some of the fragments slit their way through the roof, one piece cut a 6x19 timber in two, and another bit hurled against a block of steel was welded by the impact. Flag-day, last Saturday, was well observed in the city, all political parties vieing with each other in the display of the national colors. As waves "old glory" in the free air of heaven, so let the lofty thoughts of patriotism, order, social harmony, prosperity, civil and religious liberty wave in the mind, warm the heart and strengthen all endeavor for good. Vote for C. J. Gar low. The republican rally at Genoa Saturday night was attended by a jolly train load of McKinley folks from here, and they had a pleasant trip. Congress man Meikeljohn was the orator of the occasion, the meeting being held in a tent, and described as a greater gather ing than even the Butterworth meeting at this place some weeks since. Our advice would be to put the straw stacks in perfect order and keep them so. They will then be good feed for years to come. Because there is abundance of cheap feed just now is no sufficient cause for' carelessness in pre serving what may easily be kept from one year to another with very little waste if it only be attended to at the right time and in the right way. I Ne braska Fanner. In Omaha they have had the same trouble as here in keeping boys from jumping on and off moving trains in the yards. The police judge has agreed to send all violators to the county jail or else impose a fine, and under that pro gram a half dozen lads have been given days of imprisonment and dollars in the way of fines. Perhaps the same kind of medicine applied in Columbus would be the mesas of saving some of the boys from beisg iiagled msder the cars.

The age limitations for this examination are as follows: Clerks, 18 years and over; carriers, over 21 and under 40 years. Applications for this examination mast be filed with James Quinn, secretary board of examiners, not later than Saturday, November 21st Fremont Tribune. Rev. Myers, who had been assigned to Columbus and then withdrew from the Methodist church, has organized a People's church at Schuyler, and is hav ing seeming great success in interesting the public. Large audiences have been present at sermons and other services of the church, good literature has been provided for children of the Sunday School, a choir with instruments has been organized and parents are reques ted to bring their children to Sunday School and secure for them a non-sectarian knowledge of the bible. The republican rally at Platte Cen ter hut Wednesday night was a decided success. Notwithstanding the heavy rain of the evening, a large crowd were present at Henry hall, and an attentive audience listened to interesting speeches by & C. Gray, Ross L. Hammond, J. R Frick and C J. Garlow. George Hop kins presided at the meeting. The hall had been neatly decorated with the national colors by the republican ladies of Platte Center, and it is only just to say that all McKinley voters present commended their zeal and praised their artistic taste. Going to press Monday morning this week, a great many Journal readers will be reading their paper on the morn ing of election. We do not wish to be obtrusive, but, if you have had any notion of voting for other than republi can presidential electors (who will in the electoral college vote for McKinley) give the matter another good, deliberate con sideration, before you cast your ballot Vote as you would if each single candi date depended for election or defeat on your X. Consider what McKinley will mean and what he will do as president of the United States. What his policy will bring to the business of the whole country. It has been a wonder to us all along why Col. Paras of the Telegram is sup porting Bryan for president and at the same time Hammond for congress. We haven't called special attention to it more than two or three times, for fear that by so doing; we might possibly cause the loss of a vote for Hammond, which we do not wish to do, of course. We cannot refrain, however, now that this is the very last issue of The Jour nal before election to implore the colonel to quit his foolishness, and, like the Platte Center Signal editor, (who is also a democrat,) vote the entire repub lican ticket straight It will do you good, and everybody knows you don't like the populist mixture with de mocracy. The November Forum, contains among many good articles, one by Hon. Thomas B. Reed entitled "As Maine Goes, so Goes the Union;" "The Solid South Dissolving." by Edward P. Clark a very timely and suggestive paper; in a striking article by W. K. Stride, on "The Immediate Future of Armenia," is advanced a very original plan for solving the Eastern Question. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe discusses the same problem under the caption "Shall the Frontier of Chris tendom be Maintained?" "Emerson's Wit and Humor" does tardy justice to a phase of the character of the great Sage of Concord not commonly recognized. In an article entitled "Work and Moral ity" Prof. Ferrero contends that the capacity for methodical work is the very essence of morality the quality upon which all others depend. Altogether, the November Forum presents to its readers scholarly and authoritative dis cussions of the leading questions of the day by experts in their respective fields. It is evident that most people have made up their minds as to how they are going to vote, now let every man entit led to cast his ballot, do so as his enlight ened conscience dictates it should be done, free from interference by any one, and have the vote squarely counted. Then, let all this talk about "settling the contest by bullets if we cannot settle it by ballots" come to an end. The American people have had one tremen dous war of that kind, where a very con siderable portion of the people were not satisfied with the will of the majority, as expressed by the ballot, but the nation prevailed as against the section of the nation; national integrity as against secession and rebellion; national honor as against dishonor; freedom everywhere for everybody, even the long, down trodden, black man, under the flag of the Union, prevailed at last over slavery, and, while the trying scenes of that great conflict have not faded from mem ory, let that recollection be sufficient to put to rest thoughts of blood and car nage now. "Peace hath her victories, no leas renowned than war," and just as enduring. Enlightened public opinion is the real judge in these times. The scientific method is the one approved of all thoughtful, wise men. In the light of past experience; under the fixed stars of our patriot firmament of worthies, whose words of wisdom, whose deeds of daring and whose acts of pure patriotism shine with that light which was "never yet on sea or land," let these ballots be cast and counted and the result noted. If it shall be found that the result was a blunder, let the-blunder be corrected in the proper way. Great nations, like superior individuals, utilize their errors, as object-lessons in the path of progress. Onward and upward let us go, not back ward and downward. If blunders there must be, let them not come by our in tention. And especially, in this crisis, let us remember the sad blunder of four years ago when a change of policy was determined upon from protection to "tariff reform," resulting in a change from debt-paying to debt-making, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. We mast reverse the engine, or else go dowa iato the "slough of dsjpoad," Xm the Vetera ef PlaMe Ceuaty: It has been a custom ("more honored in the breach than in the observance") for nominees to office In this county to make a house to house campaign, and some of my friends have criticised me for not doing so. To you all, I wish to state that as much as I would like to visit you, as a neighbor and friend, it has been impossible for me to do so without neglecting my office duties. I take it for granted that the tax payers regardless of party, who are in terested in the county's affairs, will investigate for themselves and vote for those whom they believe to be best fitted for the positions they may be nominated to fill, regardless of personal solicitation or political belief. The office of county attorney ia not a political one, and should you see fit to elect me to fill that office I have no political positions to offer or bold out to you, and all I can promise is to fill the office to the interest of good government and the tax payers. Respectfully, C. J. Garlow. Siiaey C. Gray. The republican nominee for senator was born in Chenango county, New York, Nov. 28, 1839, and in 1847, with his father's family, became a resident of Princeton, Hlinois. From there they moved onto a farm in the eastern part of Bureau county, Illinois, remaining there till 1861, When Mr. Gray started farming for himself near Spring Valley, Bureau county, Illinois. After this he engaged in the grain trade and general merchandise, until he moved to this state in the spring of 1883, engaging first in farming and afterwards in the hard ware business. At Arlington, Hlinois, he served as member of the school board ten years and was also president of the city council (with duties of mayor). Here Mr. Gray has served two terms as mem ber of the city council, being elected president of the council under the mayoralty of D. Schnpbach and G. W. Phillips. . In mental training, Mr. Gray has evi dently utilized the advantages of the common school of his boyhood home, afterwards attending Knox college, at Galeeburg, Illinois, and graduating there in the scientific department His nomination as a candidate for the upper house of the state legislature came to him without solicitation on his part, and he will make the canvass in the district (Platte and Colfax counties), to win for republican principles and re publican methods. He believes public business should be conducted on the same general principles as a man con ducts his private business, and when he gets to Lincoln as senator, it will be found that in ability to see and under stand, and also to enforce his views by argument, he will in that body have few equals, probably no superior. It is safe to say that in his charge the interests of this district at the capitol during his term of office, will be fully looked after. George C. Saith. 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 Rock 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 1884 Mr. Smith was 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 less 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. C. J. Garlow. The republican candidate for county attorney, was born at Fairmont, Marion county, Virginia, in 1859. He came to Nebraska, locating in Platte county in 1880, and has lived here ever since, at first engaging in teaching school, at' Creston, Bismark, Sherman, and in this city. For the past ten years Mr. Garlow has been practicing law, and has gained an enviable reputation in his profession. There are several qualities that go to the making of a good lawyer, among which are: The power of clear-cut analysis; good common sense applied to the case in hand and to every phase of it; a tenacity of purpose that clings to a case until it is fought out to a finish. These qualities, Mr. Garlow has, and they are just the ones now needed in an attorney for Platte county. The office is of far more importance than people generally suppose, the county attorney being the legal adviser of all county officers, and we need a man in that office who will interpret the law just as it is, without any bias for favorites of any kind. Garlow will do this, and his so doing will save many dollars to tax payers. John Wiggins has served one year as one of the supervisors for this dis trict; he has done his full dnty in every respect that we know of, and he deserves re-election. While there is small pay attached to the office (a mere nothing considering the importance of the trusts imposed),' ifc is necessary that there be chosen to the office men who will act in the public interest As chairman of the board Mr. Wiggins has been perfectly fair and impartial in his rulings. The board have had unusual work, and in curred unusual responsibility the past year consequent upon the shortage in the county treasury by an ex-treasurer and the complications arising in the effort to save the county whole in the matter, but through it all, Chairman Wiggins has been alert, prompt, fair and efficient, doing for the county with the least possible outlay. Mr. Wiggins is level headed and hence his judgment in any emergency is to be relied upon as being calm and deliberate. He deserves DZBD. Aacwn Thursday morainx. October 2 830, at Carbon, Wyoming, of heart failure, a H. Archer, in the 4th year of his age. Overton Hurlburt Archer was bora three miles from .Richland, Virginia, February 15th, 1849. Moved to Galena, Illinois, tbea to Wisconsin; in 1869, to Seward, in this state, where he was pro prietor of s newspaper; then, to this city, where he was at first eagaged on the Repabbean, published by F. T. Burgess, and afterwards, sad for a number of years with Tn Journal. Tiriag of in-door life, he secured a cat tle range in Wyoming, and for several years enjoyed the free mountain air. 'Afterwards he located at Carbon, where January 27, 1869, he married Miss Louise Rickly of this city, whose acquaintance he had made here. For the last twelve years he had been engaged in the hotel business at Carbon. The immediate cause of his death was heart trouble, the result of rheumatism, from which he had often been a great sufferer during the past twenty years. He took sick Monday night of last week, but not until the day before his death was there any indication of death close at hand, his attack being much the same as he had been subject to, but at 8:30 Thursday morning the end came. Brief services were held at the Carbon home, and the remains arrived here Saturday afternoon at 2, and were trans ferred to the residence of W. T. Rickly, where, at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, funeral services were conducted by Rev. Samuel Goodale, the- fifteenth chapter of JfiratrCbrinthians being the scripture lesson. ' One of the principal thoughts of the discourse was that without the light et the scriptures as the revelation of God's will, human life is an enigma beyond the power of any to solve. Life is a school in which the discipline of God's providence comes to all, and all iB meant for our best good. The aged minister, in fervent language, extended sympathy -to the bereaved wife and friends, and implored all to seek the help of Him who is all and in all. He expressed strong belief in the scripture enunciation of the resurrection, and an abiding hope of the recognition in the spiritual world of our departed loved ones. The body was then taken in charge by an escort of Knights of Pythias from Occidental lodge (of which Mr. Archer was a charter member), Messrs. Henry Ragats, W. N. Hensley, John Elliott, J. N. Heater, John Tannahill and W. A. McAllister acting as ball-bearers. At the cemetery, the simple, yet grand and impressive ritual of the order was pro nounced at the open grave of their brother, Rev. Goodale, in heart-felt tones offering the prayer and pronouncing the benediction upon the assembled friends. The music at house and grave, from "Lead, Kindly Light," to "Nearer my God, to Thee," was a beautiful and touching tribute of harmonious sounds and sentiments, felt us a voice out of heaven by many present, rendered by a choir composed of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Garlow, Mrs. M. Whitmoyer and Mr. C. G. Hickok. Thus seems to end the earthly life of one whom the writer long ago learned to respect, admire, esteem and love. Mr. Archer was an honest, plain-spoken, fair-minded man. The Platonic rule, "do no injustice, and allow none" was such a part of his nature as to be no ticeable by all his acquaintances, and he was quick to discover the inner life from which the outward appearance has its motive or strength. He had no patience for shams, because he could see through them to the real emptiness of their pretensions, and because they were no part of his nature. Such were his likes and dislikes as open as the day and as fair to view as the sun. The influence of such men does not cease with their disappearance from mortal view. Essentially, that is to say spiritually, men are what their intent, their will, is, and hence the good man's true monument is the heart-cherishing recollection on the part of his friends of what he was. No act or word or wish can be without its due effect, when based upon the moral integrity which makes all good endeavor one in spirit. And all of us who were honored by the friendship of Mr. Archer will remember deeds and words of kindness, charity, courage, righteous indignation and like wise commendation all incentives to lead us to seek the Good Will which is the life of all our world of Truth and Goodness. Mr. Archer leaves, besides his widow, a brother, Edward, who resides near Staplehurst, this state; Mrs. Rebecca W. Griffin, of Elk Mountain, Wyoming; Mrs. Sarah McDaniel, of Wisconsin, and Mrs. Nancy A. McDaniel of Colorado, to mourn the departure of a fond and faithful husband and brother. His many old friends here sincerely sympa thize with them in their bereavement. JNAIL IT DOWN. The following telegram from George W. Barnhart, well known here, and an official.of the Cotton Belt Railway Cora panyexplains itself: Ttler, Texas, Oct 29, 1896. To George E. Barnum: Your letter the nineteenth, the rumor that Milt Speice was discharged for not joining a McKinley club is absurd and without foundation. He was not eligi ble as a voter in Texas, and had he been he was at liberty to vote as he pleased as are all the employees of this com pany. Geo. W. Barnhart. Ross Hammond has been actively campaigning in the district ever since his nomination, in fact his opponent, Samuel Maxwell, it seems is physically incapable of standing the strain of a campaign. This is readily conceded by his political adherents, and if so it is reason enough, if there were not hun dreds of others, why he should be left at home to the quiet of his own study, and the congenial work of writing law books. This district wants to be represented at the" capitol of the nation by an able bodied man able to bear the fatigues of the position and thrive under them; it wants a mental gladiator in that arena of political strife, so that our interests will be properly looked after. Hammond is always up and a-coming, and is just the right man to vote for. Subscribe for Tax Journal any day.

Bixbt, Lincoln, Neh, Friend Bix: It is reported here that the gam blers have run a lot of University stu dents into Mr. Bryan's ward as boarders, and are now betting three to one that Bryan will carry his ward. Is this so? Respectfully yours, J. N. Hratxr. The answer was: " Lincoln, NsBn Oct 30. Dkab "Jap": Some colonisation has been done, but no such bets are offered, and the ward will be carried by McKin ley. In haste, Brx." DavM TkesM. The republican candidate for float representative was born Septemher 1, 1852, at Carmarthenshire, South Wales. He left that country for America on the 22dday of April, 1872. He arrived at Columbus, Nebr., May 6, 1872, and has resided in Platte county ever, since, en gaged all the while in farming. His first farm was a homestead of 160 acres; he has acquired altogether 1021 acres of land, and has no encumbrance on the same or indeed one dollar of indebted ness of any kind. Mr. Thomas is blessed with a wife and six children, four sons and two daugh ters. With their aid, supplementing his own management he has earned his position in the world. His word is as good as his bond, and you can rely on what he tells you, politically or other wise. Mr. Thomas is not an office seeker; not a politician in any sense 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 he represents you at Lincoln you can count on your work being as carefully done by him as is his own work at home. In traveling through the different townships in Platte county the Signal editor has heard much praise of George C. Smith, republican candidate for rep resentative from the twenty-fourth dis trict Mr. Smith lives in our own town ship, and we all know him as an honora ble, upright, capable and worthy young man. In fact no better selection could have been made than Mr. Smith to rep resent the agricultural district, such as the twenty-fourth. The nomination came to him unasked for, but having the honor thrust upon him, as it were, he feels it his duty to represent this district, and he will do so to the best of his ability. Mr. Smith will carry this town ship almost solid, and a big majority of the votes throughout the whole county will vote for him, for they know there is nothing tricky about him. In this case partisanship will count for nothing, for this year there is no United States sen ator to elect, and the representatives will not be called upon to vote for party men, but they will be called upon only to rep resent all the people in their different districts, and vote for measures or against measures which will be of benefit to the representative districts and the state in general. You can depend upon Mr. Smith's honorable action in all his dealings, both public and private. Platte Center Signal. EDITORIAL. SECRETARY THROWS UP THE JOB. "As indicative of the change that is going on among the voters in the state, an occurrence which is reported from Pawnee City is a fair sample," said a prominent republican politician last evening. "During a republican meeting at that place the secretary of the Bryan club arose and announced that he had been converted from the error of his ways and that from now on he would be found trying as hard as he could to atone for the mischief he had done in preach ing free coinage thus far in the cam paign. He followed this up the next day by surrendering his books and papers as secretary of the Bryan club and is now out working for McKinley. Bee, Oct. 29. JUDGE DUNDY DEAD. Elmer S. Dundy, for thirty-three years United States district judge for Nebras ka, died at his residence in Omaha Wed nesday afternoon last shortly after 4 o'clock, his death being due to neuralgia of the stomach. He was born in Trum bull county, Ohio, March 5, 1830. At the age of 18 he commenced teaching; at 20 he began the study of law, and in 1853 was admitted to the bar. In 1857 he removed to Richardson county, this state, living there until June, 1863, at which time he was appointed territorial judge by President-Lincoln. In 1867 he left the bench and took up the practice of law. On April 9, 1868, he took the oath of office for the position he held until his death, having been appointed but a few days before by President Johnson and confirmed by tho senate the following day. He was married in Omaha, in 1863, to Mies Mary H. Robin son, a native of Ohio. He leaves three children: Elmer S., Mary May and Luna L. We do not want anything unsound in this government We want a dollar that is as good as gold, as your spokesman has said, and jnst as good in the hands of the rich. The first mission that a poor, depreciated, debased dollar pei forms, is to find its way into the hands of some poor man, who can't afford to lose it (Great applause.) This has been the errand of poor dollars ever since the 'government began. The poorest dollars always eventually land in the pockets of the poorest people, for when the break or crash comes, the poor man loses it (Great applause.) The man of capital keeps his finger upon the financial pulse; be knows when money is going down, and when it is going down, he parts with it Now, my fellow citizens, I thank you for this call. McKinley, at Canton, to a delegation of railroad men. Brtanites in this campaign have very persistently charged that the legislation of this 'country, especially for the last twenty-five to fifty years has been in the interest of capital and against the poorer classes. John L. Thomas, assis tant attorney general for the postoffice department, has summarized the legis lation of the last fifty years and the showing is a very complete refutation of the charge. The briefest mention of the measures would fill almost a column of The Journal. No political party in any country known to history has given to the world so many good laws and meas ures in the direct interest of the ad vancement of human beings, as has the republican party. There has been no political campaign since 1860 that has so stirred up the people as this year. The whole country is impatient to see the mills, factories, furnaces and all branches of industry open up once more, and the unemployed thousands get work again. The danger threatening the stability of our currency has also aroused the whole country, and these two issues alone will call out the largest vote ever cast in America, -toward Blade.
