8. J. Wheeler and Mr. Anderson of
Creston were callers at The Journal
office Wednesday last, bringing in the
returns from their township. It seems
that there were 200 ballots cast at the
polls, but the result shows that on
several of the candidates there were
thirty votes lacking of the total 200,
showing an indifference on the part of
electors, even on such an important
office aa representative in congress.
The first snow of the season in the
west this winter was not received with
that gladness that sometimes accompan
ies the fall of "the beautiful," and there
were people here who were incredulous
aa to the quantity, but the Sidney Tele
graph says: "It was accompanied by
quite a strong wind, and for a time look
ed as though we were to be visited by
one of the old-time blizzards, but Thurs
day afternoon the storm abated, the sun
came out brightly and now the snow is
fast disappearing."
Wednesday morning last at about
2 o'clock Edward Suiter, a brakeman on
the U. P. west-bound freight No. 26, was
killed in the yard west of the freight de
pot, while coupling a train, the wheels of
one empty car passing over his abdomen.
He lived but a very short time after the
accident, expiring while telling how it
happeened. He was a single man, aged
forty years, and an employe of the com
pany many years. He lived at Grand
Island. The body was cared for by un
dertaker, Henry Gass and, in charge of
a brother, taken to Grand Island.
There is no little quiet fun aboard
ship on the Palmer vote for the Second
ward of the city. There were two very
ardent Palmer democrats in the ward,
and we are informed that one of them,
in a very especial and emphatic manner,
said he would take good care of the Pal
mer interests of the ward. It seems that
the other ardent disciple of the old
fashioned democracy was not so demon
strative in his pre-election outgivings,
but it waa understood all around that
the great middle ward of this city had
two men, electors, who would see that
justice waa done to the candidacy of the
man who had undertaken, at a personal
sacrifice for himself, to hold in line for
future work, the old fashioned, hard
money, honest-money democrats, who
believed in upholding law, sustaining
order, and making it impossible for pop
ulism to swallow all the democratic
party at least at one bite. But lo and
behold! How timea do change! The
returna did not show 20 votes for Pal
mer; nor 10; nor 5; not two, and not
but one. The query is well, there are
so many queries that we safe not had

The superintendent's report waa un
usually interesting. Bssidss the stated
statistics for the month, he referred to
the work being done in pur schools and
to discussions at the state convention of
supsrintendenta, which he had attended.
One of these waa in regard to work of
teachers in grammar grades, and during
the discussion the editor of the North
western School Journal took occasion to
remark that the 'work being done in the
Columbua schools by Messrs. Britell,
Weaver, Leavy and Miss Martin waa the
best he had seen in the state, in those
grades. Another waa in regard to the
best course of study for high' schools,
the general opinion being that the
course prescribed as preparatory for en
tering the state university is that best
suited for general purposes.
Miss Taylor's pupils earned the half
holiday for the month on a punctuality
of 100 per cent and an attendance of
98.75.
By unanimous vote the president waa
directed to enter into contract with
Dodd, Mead k Co. for two sets of Inter
national Cyclopedia, with cases, deliv
ered free, for $50 cash and $70 payable
in one year, without interest These
are intended for reference books for the
First and the Third ward schools a
much needed addition to their Web
ster's dictionary. The $50 is to be paid
out of the library fund.
Transfers were ordered: $500 from
the license to the general fund; $760
from the state apportionment to the
teachers' fund; $1,900 from the general
fund to the teachers' fund.
The committee on supplies reported
the purchase of 6 tons Rock Springs nut
coal at $&25 of Speice k Co., theirs be
ing the lowest bid.
Sup't Williams reports the receipt of
$14 for tuition and $9 for text books
sold.
The next thing of absorbing interest
to Nebraskans will be the subjects to
come before the next general assembly
of the state, and, according to our usual
custom. The Journal will endeavor to
keep its readers informed aa to proposed
amendments to existing statutes. One
of the things that will doubtless receive
attention is the ballot law, and of this
the Fullerton News says: "The ticket
ia nnwieldly, illy arranged, and so con
structed ss to deceive the voter. The
object of the law ia to simplify the exer
cise of the elective franchise and to main
tain secrecy. The latter is secured while
the former is made more complex. The
ticket in Nance county this year is little
less than four feet in length if printed in
one continuous strip, which in itself is a
decided fault especially with printers.
The law should be changed so as to
arrange each party's nominations in
tickets side by side and give those who
vote straight tickets an opportunity to
do it with a single mark."
A Columbus lad the other day burst
out with a protest about in this style:
"Here, I have to attend public school all
week, and then on Saturdays the Ger
man school; on Sunday, be at Sunday
school; mornings and evenings do the
chores, and I'd just like to know where
a kid's own way comes in." A wise
mother says we should all, young and
old, find our pleasure right along in our
work, and she is eminently correct.
Such a way of looking at it does not
come at first sight, but it is true for all
that, and everything in nature teaches
this. The boy will find every day and
hour of his life a school where the
Teacher sees all that goes on, and makes
no mistakes in his part of the work. We
ought, aa Epictetus says, "obey the roles
willingly and gladly, for, whether we will
or not, we must obey at last"
Professor Hicks, the weather fore
caster who bases bis conjectures concern
ing the weather on the relative position
of the earth with the other planets, has
said that the coming winter will be long
and cold, with much snow in all locali
ties where snow is a factor; that bliz
zards will be numerous, highways will
be blockaded, all to be followed by much
rainfall and high water most of the year.
He doses with practical advice: "do not
be in haste to get in spring crops. Pro
vide good shelter for self and stock."
Surely this latter part is sound, in any
event. We can well remember when one
winter's loss in cattle was the direct
cause of the erection the following sum
mer of hundreds of good shelters for
stock. It is best to prevent loss. It is
best to provide against at least the prob
able changes of weather.

Election Remarks.
John Graf ia our assessor.
Wm. O'Brien is elected county attor
ney. It means, no free trade; no free silver;
no Altgeld.
The three-combine ticket carried But
ler county by 977 majority.
Kentucky divided her electoral vote
12 republican and 1 Bryan democrat.
Allen Gerrard says that the average
time taken in Lost Creek was six minutes.
Gondring was elected senator from
this district, including Colfax and Platte
counties.
In district No. 6 and Xo. 7, John Wig
gins was elected supervisor, by a major
ity of sixteen.
Sixteen is a favorite number with the
supervisor board. Dietrich Becher's
majority was sixteen.
O. S. Moran will go to the lower house
of the general assembly for the 24th, and
N. S. Hyatt for the 25th district.
. The republicans get two congressmen
in Nebraska, Mercer and Strode, the
latter'a majority being 223 in the district.
It means protection, reciprocity, pros
perity besides, every dollar good as
gold; law and order; one country and
one flag.
Republicans polled 850 votes for Mc
Kinley in Polk county; Bryan got 1,500
every precinct in the county going
democratic.
Nance county went about 150 for the
combine ticket, on county officers. Mc
Clelland, however, a republican, was
elected county attorney.
At Columbus Township hall, the offi
cials had marked off the limit of 100 feet
from the polling place and designated
the square by placing a small flag at
each corner.
Madison county gave 150 majority for
McKinley, but 55 for Holcomb. The
vote between Hammond and Maxwell is
about equal. Frank Prince ia elected
representative by 175 majority. Tyler
for county attorney carries the county
over Kelly by a majority of 126.
In our table elsewhere (giving the offi
cial returns for this county as canvassed
by County Clerk Pohl, Herman Oehlrich
and Julius Ernst), we have arranged the
votes on the electoral tickets, thus: the
lowest for a McKinley elector was 1269,
varying from that up to 1377, the average
of the eight being 1351.
The defeated portion of the democratic
patty are still fighting against Mark
Hanna. It was a re-mark-able campaign
in many respects, and Hanna put his
mark upon it so plainly that there can
be no question but what hia work con
tributed greatly to the result. Hanna is
an organizer. What is the matter with
Hanna? He's all right, you bet.
One who held the watch on an average
citizen of the First ward, on the time
that he was in the booth said he was
eight minutes fixing his ballot. When
he waa told of the time, he declared that
he knew he waa slow about it; that he
had made a study of his vote on the
amendments, and had marked his sample
ballot before entering the booth, so aa to
expedite business. Besides, being a re
publican and voting the straight ticket,
there was no time lost in finding the
designation republican down the ticket.
The State Journal of Sunday summar
izes the result in the state aa follows:
McKinley electors, 90,567; Bryan, 101,
458, plurality for Bryan, 10,891. The
vote of 1894 was. Majors 88,549; Holcomb,
90,676. The vote on the state ticket in
dicates that P. O. Hedlund, republican
candidate for auditor, will be beaten by
only about 3,000. Majorities of fusion
candidates for state offices will range
from 3,000 to 12,000. The returns on the
head of the ticket, so far received. 79
counties, show: MacColl, 87,318; Hol
comb, 103,653.
Even now, the following concerning
New York, ia pleasant reading for repub
licans; McKinley and Hobart made a
clean sweep of the Empire state. The
democratic plurality of 45.000 in 1892
was reversed and the unprecedented
plurality of 284,000 has been rolled up
for the republicans. Tammany's enor
mous majority in this city has been over
come and: this stronghold of the democ
racy has given a plurality of 16,000 for
McKinley. In Brooklyn McKinley's
plurality is 29,000. In the state outside
of the two cities he has a plurality of
234,000.
