Jubilee number, forty-eight pages, a

The Fremont Tribune of Thursday
contained tho following paragraph:
"No. 4, tho 8:35 a. m. passenger train
from the west on the Union Pacific road,
picked tip the dead body of a tramp this
forenoon, found on the track between
Benton and Schuylor. The body was
cut equarely in two, one-half being be
tween the rails and the other lying in the
ditch at the side of the track. The body
was taken to Schuyler, where an inquest
will be held. At last accounts the iden
tity of the dead man had not been ascer
tained." Saturday evening last Dr. Voss' fine
horse broke a leg, and was killed to put
him out of his misery. In some of the
cities of the United States, these days,
they have hospitals for animals, where
all such can be cared for at moderate
expense, and thus pain lessened and val
uable lives 6aved. A man relates that
in a pasture near St. Louis the other
day he saw a horse with one wooden leg
he didn't suppose he could pull on a
heavy load very well, but there he was
in the pasture, along with other horses.
The Schuyler Herald of a recent
date has this to say of the father of our
C. C. Hardy, who will be remembered as
having been at the Sisters' hospital here
after his accident:
"Washington Hardy the jolly old well
dicser. who several years ago met with a
frightful accident falling down a well
eighty-five feet deep, having both legs
and an arm broken in a number of places
and whose recovery was a little short of
miraculous, was in Schuyler Monday
and Tuesday of this week, having walked
nine miles. This he said, was the lon
gest walk he had taken since his acci
dent," Platte county is not alone in the
effort at fusion between the different
wings of the democratic and populistic
parties. Madison is having her exper
ience, and it is very similar to that of
Platte. One of the journals there re
marks that "if fusion means fusion on
populist lines, Barkis is willin'. If
fusion means that the populist party is
to be a large and juicy thistle for the
democratic mule to swallow, they don't
hanker after it." The doubtful part of
this last assertion is good enough to
leave just as it is..
It is about the same state of affairs
in Butler county as here, so far as the
combination of political opponents are
concerned. Of course the main ques
tion in all is the due apportionment of
the offices, and this is the way the David
City Press suggests that it ought to be
done:
''There is only one fair way to divide.
Let the populists and democrats take
two offices each and the silver republi
cans one. Let the populists and demo
crats flip coins for the first choice, and
give the loser the privilege of choosing
the next two choices and the party get
ting first choice to have the fourth."

dered by members of the club: Vocal
solos by Mrs. Chambers, Miss Rickly
and Miss Galley; piano solos by Misses
Becher, Henry and Parker; vocal duetts
by Misses Grace Taylor and Zura Morse
and Misses Martha and Alice Turner.
The club also sang a few choruses, after
which they were treated to refreshments
by the hostess and Miss Mosgrove. The
club have adjourned to meet in Sep
tember. Imagine a party of fishers out all
day long in the broiling sun coming
home late at night and having but one
good-sized fish in the lot, all the others
no 'count kind. Imagine them all, such
as they were, nicely cleaned by the very
tired fishermen, and placed safe away.
And then imagine a great tall neighbor
who didn't go a-fishing, but who knew
about the large fish and where to find it,
and then imagine him sneaking around
early the next morning to get that fish
and have it for his breakfast, thus reap
ing where ho had not sown, so to speak
eating where he had not caught. His
mouth watered even at the thought of
eating the fish he was about to appro
priate, but unfortunately for him, when
be arrived et the place of deposit he
found the house cat just finishing the
big fish!
It is understood that the Argus is
especially friendly to the nomination of
Mr. Lisco for sheriff, and that the Tele
gram 16 devoted to the interests of one
Daniel C. Kavanaugh for that office.
Dannie is not fusing this year and hence
the Telegram is armed with a dagger for
all of Dannie's opponents, como from
whatever direction they may. Because
Dannie has been, "first, last and all the
time" for the Telegram, the Telegram
is simply returning the compliment.
Thoso who are tied together merely by
political principle must not feel harshly
toward the Telegram editor because of
this stand of his for both "principal and
interest." The Joukn'al will not begin
to undertake the task of getting the
Argus and the Telegram together; we
only desire to call the attention of
Journal readers to the fact that they
are now apart.
Marshal Tummell has received from
Attorney General McKenna a
telegram stating that under a
ruling of the Controller jnet made all
deputy marshals go out of office with
the marshal and that if any are retained
by a successor they must be recommis-
stoned in order to get their pay. Accord
ingly, says the World-Herald, Miss Ger
trude Kearney of Plattsmouth, who, as
stenographer and typewriter, has been
an office deputy, and who has been hold
ing on under the supposed civil service
extension, has been let out, and Charles
W. Pearsall of Columbus appointed in
her stead. He has entered on his new
doties. Deputies in the internal revenue
department are beginning to suspect
that the same ruling will drop them out.
Collector North has said that he believed
they would all have to go on change of
collectors. This may give a chance for
some other Columbus men.
Editor Parks of the Telegram was
altogether out of sorts last week, and
struck out right and left, at anything
which appeared in sight, but it is plainly
evident- that the thing which dis
gruntled him was "the few democrats in
this city who have undertaken the job
of delivering their party over to tho
tender mercies of the pops at the coming
election." Listen, again: "And now the
greedy pop crew of the county, led by
'Oily Gammon' Saunders, want the dem
ocrats, who have a clear majority over
all in the county to fuse with them and
give the pops the choice of offices. Was
there ever such bare-faced impudence?
If these fellows had a spark of gratitude
in their political make-up which they
haven't they would allow the demo
crats to name a ticket, and then be glad
to vote for it, although their votes are
not necessary for its success. But, liko
the leach, gorged as they are with offi
ces given to them through democratic
votes, they cry 'more, more!' " This is
rather peculiar and touching language
to be used towards a fellow-fusionist
but, then, we remember, ho does not
intend to fuse, not this year.
Last Sunday morning week, James
Bell's elevator at David City was com
pletely destroyed by fire. It is not
known how it originated. The loss ap
proximated $25,000; insurance only $7,
000. The News says Mr. Bell has been
extremely unfortunate with his eleva
tors, only about four yoars ago while in
Europe tho one at Stromsburg being
burned. About a month ago he lost the
one at Shelby by fire, and had just com
pleted arrangements to rebuild it, begin
ning Monday, when he met with his
heavy loss here, but with his characteris
tic pluck and energy ho has gone ahead
with it and expects to have it ready for
business in about three weeks. He will
rebuild here also, but in a small way for
the present, but will probably not do
anything until he knows what will be
dono with the light plant. If ho re
builds that, then ho will make his eleva
tor small. If not, then he can increase
the size of his elevator.
Thanks of l'.t.
Be it resolved by Baker Post No. JI,
G. A. R., that the thanks of this Post be
tendered to the ministers of this city for

Fremont Tribune: Pierson D. Smith
of St. Edward, was in the city today
conferring with Seeley, Son & Co. with
reference to building an elevator for
him. He is perhaps tho largest farmer
in Nebraska. He has 10,000 acres near
St. Edward, all under cultivation, on
which there are fifty-three tenement
houses. He is a rustler and makes his
business pay, so that he can afford to
educate his children at a Germau Uni
versity and himself spend a part of the
year abroad.
Madison Reporter: The Union Cream
ery is now running full blast and is al
ready demonstrating that it is one of
the best things that ever came to Mad

rarmers. in support oi mm buuuuumii. i
wo will mention me uicl iuul uuo
farmer, who daily markets the milk from
twenty-one cows, will net each mouth
about 875. Taking this into considera
tion we believe we will be sustained in
tho assertion that the cow, with a good
creamery to market the milk therefrom,
is about the most paying investment a
farmer can make.
Madieon Chronicle: Another big
hunk of prosperity will be dropped into
Madison, in the shape of coin received
for another special train of fat cattle,
which was shipped from this station
Monday. John Lntz had two cars, M.
Gross on car, Elloy & Malone one car,
E. T. McGehee one car. Tho Maurers
and somo of their neighbors put on
thirteen more cars at Humphrey, mak
ing a solid train of eighteen cars of
cattle. The farmer who makes a busi
ness of raising cattle and hogs isn't kick
ing altout cheap corn and hard times.
Ho generally has his pockets filled with
all kinds of money worth 100 cents on
tho dollar.

For tho meeting of the National edu
cational association at Buffalo in 1896
the excellent service given by the Union
Pacific was commented on by all those
who had the pleasure of using that line.
This year our educational friends meet
in Milwaukee, Wis., July 6 to 9, and
members of the association and others
from points west of the Missouri river,
should by all means take the Union
Pacific.
Tho service of tho Union Pacific via
Omaha or Kansas City is the very best.
The equipment consists of handsome day
coaches, chair cars, Pullman buffet and
drawing room sleepers, dining cars and
buffet smoking and library cars. Fewer
changes than via any other line. One
fare, plus 82.50 for the round trip will
be the rate from all points west of the
Missouri river for this meeting. For il
lustrated matter, folders, etc., call on or

Suffering Enaaity !
To all Sdffchkrs: I writ this for
the benefit similar sufferers may dariv
from it, unsolicited and out of para
sympathy to those poor mortals who
uiav be afflicted witn tnat dreaa an
cancer.
In September of 1887 the di
known by the medical fraternity a
lupuserethemustosus first made its ap
pearance on my face and soon spread
across the nose and over a greater part
of the face, causing unsightly aoraa.
After nearly ten years of constant doc
toring with many noted physicians aad
deriving temporary benefit at times, my
system at last reached a stage of com
plete collapse, and I was Hat on my back
with no ray of hope. At this stage I
wnn rnnmninnilml to trv Dr. Lieber of
Omaha; after an examination he said be
could cure me. As a drowning person
grasping at a straw I entered his private
hospital, and in a short space of time I
was able to leave tho hospital a well
woman. My face is now clear and shows
but little sign of the dread disease.
While in the hospital there were also
removed from my body seven cancers,
and that without the use of the knife.
The medical fraternity scoff at the idea
of cancers being removed without the
knife. But I am a living proof that it
can be and is done by Dr. Lieber. To
all those poor mortals who have given
up the battle against this dread disease,
I say don't despair, but consult with the
doctor. I make this statement out of
pure sympathy for similar sufferers, and
will be glad to see or answer any in
quiries in regard to my case.
