Jacob A. Ernst, the republican nom
inee for coaarilmsa of the First ward,
will make oaa of tha hast represeata
tivee of their teterests they have ever
had u tha councils of tha oity.
Mr. Ernst ia oaa of our very beat busi
ness men; knows tha needs of the city
thoroughly; has good, common eeass
views of matters; will look to tha ia
terastsof tha entire community, while
not aegiectiBg or sligatiHg those of the
First ward; ha is a man who considers
wall tha cirennmtaaces ef n skuatum,
and acts only after due deliberation.
Our city affairs are very important to us.
and Mr. Ernst will be a safe councilman.
John E. Hoffman, the candidate for
the Second ward, is one of the staunch
republicans of the Second, and deserves
well at the hands of the citizens of that
ward and of the city.
John keeps a pretty close mouth, but
he does a wonderful amount of think
ing, and he thinks along straight lines.
He is a level-headed man, and his record
as a former councilman of the city
showed him to be a man of admirable
judgment in city matters.
He is a man who looks beyond his
own, private interests; allows his
thoughts to go towards bis neighbors'
welfare along with his own, and honestly
strives to do what is right for all others
as well as for himself.
John is all right
Clinton C Gray, candidate for the
Third ward, is one of the prominent
young republicans of that ward. He is
a business man of rarely good qualities,
and will make a superior councilman.
He gives matters in his charge the
closest attention and is careful in all
things. He has the scientific habit of
thought the gathering of all the facts;
generalizing from them to first princi
ples. Tha true interests of the Third ward
(which of course are in unison with
those of the city) will find in Mr. Gray a
strong advocate, a practical promoter.
In any emergency that may arise, you.
will find him cool, deliberate, sensible,
safe, and this is the sort of man yon
ought to elect as a councilman.

James H. Galley is thoroughly well
equipped for the office of mayor. Hav
ing been a member of the city council a
number of years, he understands all the
minutiae of tha city's affairs, having
made them a study, with the same can
that he does of his own individual affairs.
He is eminently practical in all meas
ures originated or advocated by him, and
works for what he regards the city's best
interests without reference to public
clamor or mercenary considerations of
any sort
Tha situation impels Thx Jocbsak to
say that Mr. Galley is a man who will do
his duty aa ha sees it fully, fearlessly,
without favor, but he will not ask you to
vote for him. He regards that as a mat
ter resting altogether with you, and it
becomes all those who wish to see men
of Mr. Galley's kind elected to office, to
vote for him themselves and do what
they can besides in convincing their
fellow-citizens.
In Mr. Galley's charge the duties of
Mayor will be safely, carefully, conscien
tiously discharged.

Frank Wurdeman, tha republican can

The following from the Blair Pilot
gives such a picture of a country far to
the north of us, as we seldom see so
clearly portrayed: uSupt Fowler recent
ly received a letter from his sister, who
is now visiting in Scotland, nearly a
thousand miles further north than Blair
but in the mists of the Gulf stream, in
which she states under date of February
25: 'I wish you could peep into thai
gardens here just now and seethe spring
flowers. Aunt has a border of yellow
crocuses that looks like a band of gold,
then purple, lilac and white ones. And
the snowdrops are lovely, great clusters
of pure white. The yellow narcissus will
soon be in full bloom. The gardener was
here on Monday and Tuesday and plant
ed peas, onions and cabbage plants;
think of it in February. The grass is
green all whiter; some kind of shrubs
bloom all through the cold weather.'"
Madison Chronicle: The attention of
the district court was occupied Tuesday
and yesterday with a "steer case" that
bids fair to become almost as celebrated
as the well known Jones county, Iowa,
calf case. A steer, said to belong to one
of the Buettner's, was taken up by one
of the Tease's and kept several months.
When the Buettner's discovered the
animal they replevined it and the Teeke's
now bring suit to recover for the value
of the animal. The case has gone
through the county court and. is now
taking a whirl in the district court Both
sides are well heeled and stubborn
enough to carry the matter up to the
court of last resort. It is likely to prove
fat picking for the lawyers.
Ho wells items in Schuyler Herald: On
Monday Mrs. Will Pout met with a
frightful accident While attending to
her duties about the house she took a
lighted lamp into a closet in search of
some article she wanted. It appears that
a can of gasoline was kept there and
enough gas had escaped to charge the
air in the closet and when Mrs. Pont
entered with the lighted lamp there was
a flash of flame and an explosion of gun
powder, that was also kept there. The
poor woman's dress was set on fire and
her face, neck and the back of her hands
badly burned. Neighbors hearing the
explosion and seeing the smoke rushed
in and put out the flames. Mrs. Pont is
very badly burnt about the face and at
first it was feared that she might lose
her eye sight, but it is now believed that
her sight will be saved. Dr. Buzick was
called and did everything possible to
make the poor woman comfortable. Her
many friends hope for her speedy recov
ery from the effects of the dreadful
accident

The Madison Reporter adds some
particulars in regard to the Teke-Buett-ner
steer case in the district court for
Madison county. It has the largest
record of any case in the district except
the Barrett Scott case, either civil or
criminal, and has been watched with
keen interest by the public in general.
The steer is now worth, if the costs of
the trial are considered, about $1,000.
The last trial occupied three days, and
the verdict was for Buettner. Tha

Th following items from tha Fuller
ton Newa are fairly expressive of the
average opiaioa of those who have kept
tha tally: "Walter Sovereign shipped a
car load of fat cattle to tha Soath Omaha
market this weak, reeeiviag $430 per
cwt, for them, snarly tha top of tha
market Mr. Sovereign informs aa that
he has received a little more than 25
cents per basset for the eom he has fed
to the cattle.... A Boras creek farmer
who has been feediag his 10-cent corn to
hogs baa jest tamed a batch on to tha
market He kept an accurate account of
the amount of corn fed to them and
makes tha discovery that he has received
a fraction more than 30 cents per bushel
for all the corn they ate. There is pros
perity in hogs."
From the Schuyler Herald we learn
that two piers of the Platte river bridge
were washed out entirely, and several
others damaged; some of the timber was
saved, but it will take a considerable
sum of moaey to repair the damage doae;
the extensive farm lands of Reisch Bros.
3c Col, near Richland will be mostly for
rent this year, on the shares; John Her
man Henke, one of Cclfax county's old
snd respected citizens, died at his homo
in Wilson precinct March 13, his age
was 72 years; Mrs. Polak, living near tha
Praha poet-office in Midland precinct
committed suicide by hanging from a
rafter in the barn. She was 87 years old
and had not been considered in her right
mind for some time.
As we have before remarked, tha
butter and egg account during 'the da-
pressed times we have been
under, has helped to open eyes on
facts that have been known to a good
number of ua for yeara, The David City
Newa says: "In eoaveteetaea withnaaa
of our readers, a farmer, Tuesday, he told
us that his iacome from egga and butter
is about $5 per week. And yet some
farmers pay no attention whatever to
'such small things,' still that would be
$260 per year. Not very small either, is
it? Again, ha told nana had sold hens
for shipping thia winter which brought
him 40 cents each."
On Monday in Tan Jocnsux. sanc

and tha discussion had taken a good
many different turns, when the preacher
says: My prayer is, "Oh Lord, have

deavoring to quote it said bis prayer
was: Oh Lord, have mercy on our theo
