For unadulterated gall the Humph-1 rev Democrat caps tne climax wnen it demands of Platte county populists an endorsement of the democratic ticket "from top to bottom." Leigh World. Miss Maud Naylor came down from Monroe Monday morning on her bicycle, arriving here shortly after 7 o'clock. Fourteen miles on very dusty roads is a long ride for a lady before working hours. Mrs. Bell from near Richland was in the city Friday. She is 74 years old and has perfectly brown hair and does not look over 50 years. She came into town overland a distance of about eight milee with her daughter. Frank Mills has the contract for repairing' the dwelling-house of Mr. Bightmire in the western part of the city despoiled by fire some two Tears ago. We are glad to see this, as it will again be a handsome residence. . The families of Editor Parks, J. Basmnssen and D. Cheetnutwood add Miss Alma Hasselbalch of St dward passed Sunday last on the classic banks of Shell creek, near Smith's mill. "The groves were God's first temples." Mr. Gladstone has given utterance to the following declaration which is worthy of note, especially in these busy times: "I owe my life and vigor through a long and busy life to the Sabbath day, with its blessed surcease of to'iL" Frank Fngard of Genoa came down Saturday and went out to the separator stations of Hagel & Stevenson to pat in some new machinery a steam pump at Grand Prairie and a cheek-pnmp at Bis mark. This latter is a device, operating something after the principle of the nickle-in-the-slot machines. A metal check calling for so many gallons of skimmed milk is put into the machine, and when the check is ground through, the required amount of milk has bee pumped out. Mayor G. B. Spaios was given a sur prise Friday evening by a crowd of his gentlemen friends dropping in at his residence to help celebrate his thirty third birthday. A very pleasant even ing was passed by all, as in the bachelor days of yore.

The Lincoln Journal of the 15th says "Representative Moran of the legis lative investigating committee went home from work last night well nigh exhausted with his day's work. He opened and read two letters during the day and made oat a So voucher for him self." Mrs. Thomas Mortimer died sud denly of heart trouble Tuesday of last week, the body being buried at Leigh on Wednesday. Mr. Mortimer (super intendent of the Marshal Field ranch east of Madison) was absent from home on business when his wife died. She was 30 years old. Staff Captain Rogers and Capt. Mac donald, of the Volunteers, went to Ge noa yesterday, Tuesday, taking the tent with them, to institute a camp there. The meetings here will continue, but will be held in the hall by the remainder of the force. Capt. Macdonald is ex pected back within ten days. Our thanks are due to Congress man Maxwell of this district for a copy of the revenue act. House Roll 379, as passed by the senate with the senate amendments numbered. Any of you debating politicians who wish to settle a dispute as to what the senate has done or has not done, drop into The Journal sanctum and find the truth. Bert Galley, chief of the fire de partment, called the forces out Thurs day evening to make a test of the three hundred feet of new cotton-covered, rubber-lined fire-hose lately received, which was fouud to be in fine shape, standing a pressure of 140 to 160 pounds. One hundred feet was distributed to each of the three companies. Some judge has decided that if im provements are made by a tenant on rented premises and nails are used for fastening the same, the improvement becomes the property of the owner of the premises, but if the fastening is made with screws then the tenant has the right to remove the same, the latter being held as temporary, the former as permanenL I. Gluck has taken up and repaired and relaid the sidewalk west of his rented building, corner of M and Tenth streets. The walk is 2-inch plank and the stringers 4x4. which, by the way is a pretty good combination. He remarked, however, that he believed the very best and cheapest walk, in the long run, is the kind the First National have, a very hard, smooth brick, iron-mixed. The advice of Warwick Saunders, Gov. Holcomb's oil inspector for this district, to free silver Fourth of July orators was to howl calamity for all they were were worth. That seems to be the plan of campaign for this fall in Nebras ka. It may win and then again it mayn't. Indications are good for a big crop and better prices, and if they are realized it will be hard to convince the average farmer, that he is being "ruined." Norfolk Journal. The entire stock of Standard horse and cattle food, formerly in the hands of Hagel Stevenson, has been sold to Mr. J. A. Frowley of Stromsbnrg, Nebr. He is an extensive stock raiser and feeder. He will feed this stock to some two or three hundred head of hogs. Mr. Frowley has used Standard Food exten sively and says his profits are materially increased by feeding Standard Food. This now leaves Mr. John Schmocker the exclusive dealer for Platte coun ty, tf If there was less desultory reading, without any particular object in view, and more thinking, the world would probably be better off. A little boy read that there was a time of day when the shadows were the same in length as the hight of the objects, and, wishing to know the hight of a tree near the house, he put on his thinking cap, drove a stake into the ground, watched the shadow until the right time, meas ured the shadow of the tree and had his answer. The church, remarks the Papillion Times,is in the world to make men better, not to make them perfect, for that task is left to God alone. No man can be bettered by association with a Christian church unless it is his desire to be bet tered. The church may take a man of meanest spiritual mold and make him a power for good in the world, it only he shall desire to bend his steps that way, but it can't make a good man out of the brightest intellect if that intellect shall will to walk away from God and good deeds. People unacquainted with Nebraska still cling somewhat to the impressions they got of the state during the drouth. But the better informed of these are beginning to look at Nebraska in her true light. They begin to see that Ne braska is better than the average state, that the price of Nebraska land is away below its real value and that people here are more prosperous than in any other state in the union. Traveling men who make Nebraska on their trips will all testify to this fact. Now is the time to investigate and invest. Ord Quiz. Jack Elston had a pretty narrow escape Friday. He was watering his mules in their stall, having the bucket up on the manger between them when ohe of the mules threw his head around violently, doubtless intent on killing flies, knocking the bucket down, injuring Mr. Elston's left thumb so badly that it had to be amputated at the first joint; thrown to the ground, the mule made a gash in Jack's head, which it took six of Surgeon Martyn's stitches to sew op-. It was fortunate for Jack that the mules are gentle, otherwise, instead of a piece of thumb gone and a gash, he might bare been dead man. Cattle fer Sale. J. L. Sturgeon Son received a nice bunch of 200 head of cattle, Saturday, which they have for sale at their ranch near the city. If you wish good cattle see them at once. If they don't have on hand what will please you, they can be sure to sat isfy you in a few days at farthest. They are in the business for good, and will make business mutually satisfactory. Mary Sindclar, who lived near Howells, Colfax county, left her home Friday evening after supper, and the friends supposed she 'had gone to her sister's. Her friends became anxious, when she did not return by Saturday morning, and were frightened when they learned she had not been at her sister's. A search was instituted, and her lifeless body was found in Maple creek about one mile from home. There were no marks on the body, which lay in about fourteen inches of water. The verdict of the coroner's jury was death by acci dental drowning. She was seventeen years old. "Roxy" Nelson and "Punch" Tschu dy were held up by tramps Frid&v night a pistol being thrust into Tschudy's face. "Roxy" showed fight, because be didn't want the tramps to get a $5 Bill he had in the watch pocket of his pants. He got the worst of the scuffle, but the tramps got only ten cents of his funds. The same gang, it is supposed, held np another tramp in the eastern part of the city the same night, getting fifty cents. The police caught onto four suspicious characters, and Judge Kilian, after a hearing Saturday, sent three of them along the rocky, up grade to justice to jail in default of bail for appearance at district court. The second annual Platte county Sunday School convention was held in the Methodist church this city Thursday and Friday, the program as published in The Journal being carried out in full. There were eleven Sunday Schools of the county represented. The next meeting will be held at Monroe. The officers elect are: T. W. Talbitzer, president; Rev. Mickel, vice president; W. R. Note stein, secretary; E. vou Bergen, treas urer; W. C. Jackson, W. D. Wilson and V. G. Lyford, executive committee with Talbitzer and Notestein delegates to the State convention at Norfolk iu Septem ber. The Crestou school reported the largest amount given for benevolent pur poses, $21. The Columbus Congrega tional school reported the largest number of childten enrolled, 121. Mrs. J. J. Macken and Miss Anna Webster were Columbus visitors last Wednesday Our sporting genius, Mr. Dennis Roberts, was down at Colum bus last Sunday and accidentally sus tained a painful injury on bis right foot while engaged in a foot race. The ankle was badly dislocated and we are sorry to see Dennis moving about our streets with a cane and a good intention to abandon his athletic sports entirely A pleasant surprise party was given to Charles Bloedorn by a few select friends last Monday evening. The occasion for the party was the 17th birthday of the young man. A good old time was en joyed by the participants and the social evening ended with a splendid ice cream supper. Charles is a well principled young man and shares the best wishes and congratulations of his many friends at this place. Platte Center Signal. There are occasionally animals on the farm that for some special reason need extra piotection against flies. If once the flesh is broken and a raw spot attracts flies, these pests will after that make life almost unendurable during the hours that they are accustomed to steal their living from the veins of the beast, whom it is man's duty to defend, as much as he can, from the exasperat ing attacks of their pestiferous tormen tors. An experienced druggist, who is also a veterinary, tells us that there are a great number of mixtures sold in drug-stores to remedy this sore evil, but he knows none that is so effectual as ran cid butter smeared over the part where the flies "do most congregate." Take, for instance, the family milch cow that has to fight flies. We know that the milk lessens in quantity, and the experts tell us that the quality is likewise injuriously affected, by the worry and the pain. If the rancid but ter is a remedy it would certainly not take long to apply it. Rufus Bressler of Belgrade who was taken to the Columbus hospital for a surgical operation, was operated on in the latter part of last week. The opera tion seemed to be all right and he was in fair way to recover when he was seized with violent hiccoughs which bursted a blood vessel and caused his death. The remains were shipped home on Saturday morning. But the remains were in such a poor state of preservation that the body was interred in the Main cemetery Saturday evening about 9 o'clock in the presence of a large con course of friends and relatives. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. A. Roades at 10 a. m. Sunday. The de ceased was born November 23, 1872, and died July 9, 1897. . . .Conductor Lash of Columbus and Cedar Rapids run, has been taking a five weeks' lay off and has just returned from Oklahoma where be has a homestead. He assisted in har vesting his small grain which is a good crop in that country. Harvest hands were getting 82.50 per day and hard to get even at that price. Fullerton News. Ira Gates and C. A. Woosley were recently along the line of the Great Eastern canal, and speak in glowing terms of the crops that are under the ditch. The dam is a mile south of Genoa, and it is proposed to raise it a foot. The first water-user is Mr. Ander son, at the old L. W. Platte farm. The heads of wheat are a third longer than the ordinary and filled out nice and plump didn't ripen so quick. The or chard just set out looked splendid. Cherries, sold in Genoa, were the finest ever sold there. H. J. Hendryx near Monroe has made a specialty of using water for quite a while now, and we could see that it would take at least half a day for a fast talker to tell about Hendryx and his crops. He had three teams at work and eight or nine hands, everything looks good and flourishing, and he expected his 75 acres of wheat to yield 20 to 25 bushels to the acre at the very least. We suggest that farmers take a drive up that way after harvest make a sort of traveling picnic and learn about the ditch. CONFERENCE SITS. THE THREE ELEMENTS MAKE A FEINT FOR FUSION. Dciaocrat Srektsg Xamiaatioa IMda't Think it GmmI Policy for Tkem to Chance the Coaferrare Now. It was a pretty good sized crowd that gathered at the Maennerchor hall Fri day afternoon. Mr. Albert, populist, bad sickness in his family and being short of help at home, was liable to be called away at any time, so he said, and thought it would be better if somebody else was selected as chairman, this was perma nently. Mr. Hudson, free silver repub lican, was suggested, but he thought some younger man ought to be taken. Then Mr. Lehman, democrat, was men tioned, and he consented to serve. It looked like a caucus program. If the declinations to serve in important offi cial stations continue thus numerous and persistent, the fusing forces will have to nominate candidates who are not present to decline. Mr. Tomlin acted as secretary, but didn't seem to have much to do. The committee on credentials report ed a lengthy list, read by Hudson of the committee, and after some little "con ference" as to one of the delegations, the report was adopted and filed among the archives for future needs, if any. In the mean time Duffy spoke and Kiernan didn't speak when called upon, aad then Walker Bpoke. We didn't hear but a few words of Mr. Duffy's speech, (because we didn't arrive in time) but we could readily see what the drift had been 16 to 1 and Billy Bryan. Kiernan's declination to talk at that stage of the proceedings was sufficiently plain later along. "Uncle Johnny Wal ker" of Humphrey, as he is fauuhurly called, didn't refuse to talk, and said that when he was a full-fledged dem ocrat he never reached out to dabble with the enemy. "I have," he said, "a little more regard for a gold-bug re publican than I have for a gold-bug democrat" we give his exact words between the quotation marks, and they were received with loud cheers, which would indicate that those present wished to form a conference party and leave out the anti-Bryan element. He had his fling at the tariff issue and said the pol iticians had used it to cheat the people like Jacob had done with the poplar rods to cheat his father-in-law. A goodly number of the opposition have been saying occasionally that the tariff is no longer an issue, and it seems now that that may be possible if the republicans, with the aid of protection democrats in congress, can bring about the measures they have introduced. The very nu merous references to Bryan and Hol comb were the main points of cheer in hia remarks, especially when he referred to William J. Bryan as the next presi dent of the United States. But every thing mortal has an end and so had Mr. Walker's talk, when the committee on credentials made their report, not, how ever, without Mr. Walker remarking that he would be through in a minute. There was some little contest over Hensley's motion to allow delegates present to cast the full vote of the dele gation. Way thought this was prema ture and stated that he had no objection to allowing the democrats, populists or silver republicans present from each township to cast the vote of their re spective sections of a delegation to this conference. But Mr. Way did not have his way, in fact, although there was a motion to reconsider, that too, was lost, and thus it looked as though the men who were managing the "conference" desired the three streams of political power to flow in, but only be used for the purposes of the dominant element (the democracy were accredited 92 del egates, the populists 70, the silver re publicans IS.) This is simply human natural selfishness. Mr. Byrnes (John), who is etrongly talked of for sheriff then offered a mo tion for the appointment of a committee of nine on rules. What this ephemeral legislative body wanted with a set of rules other than the ordinary parliamen tary ones conceded to be law to all public assemblages, when not otherwise provided, none but the initiated could tell, but the committee was appointed and it reported, after a long while, among other things recommending an adjournment to the date of the demo cratic convention, August 23d. We were not present after this, but learn that there was quite a bit of feel ing expressed by Johnson and Kiernan on one hand, and Saunders on the other. Kiernan was opposed to this way of coming' to Columbus and doing nothing. Spending money for naught, or just to play into the hands of office seekers, he didn't believe in. Johnson's talk was in the same vein. Saunders, who evidently was posted in the line of fusing endeavor in the interest of prom inent aspirants for office, declared that he had spent dollars where Kiernan hadn't spent cents for the cause. Kier nan rejoined that his contributions had always been in sight, but he had failed to see Mr. Saunders'. The disputed point as to who provides funds for conducting the affairs of "the cause" in Platte county, was, like the rest, left undecided. NOTES. The great effort will be to capture the democratic convention, leaving Kavan augb, if possible, no delegates to speak of. Hensley declared he was not a candi date for anything. His allegiance was first to the democratic party. It looked like the smooth, oily run ning of machinery set in motion. Candidates talked of are Walter Phil lips, Dietrich Becher and Jos. Lacbnit for clerk; Dave Hale, R. Y. Lieco, John Byrnes, Chris. Gruenther and D. C. Kavanaugh for sheriff; B. P. Duffy, H. J. Hudson, W. X. Hensley and Editor Swallow for county judge; Rotbleitner, Moyer and Mrs. Brindley for superin tendent of schools. No recommendations were made, and the fan is ahead. The Journal is prepared to furnish in the very latest styles, stationer's goods for balls, parties, entertainments. school exhibitions, concerts, graduating exercises, and the thousand other occa sions for which fine stationery and nice printing are in demand.

The first burial is thought to have been that of Joseph McFadden. the date of whose death Nov. 20, 1804. We mar add to this that the associa- ing, but to secure ttiat tue silent Oily should be taken care of as well as could be done from the proceeds of the sale of lots, which has always gone to improve ments of various kinds, such as fencing, setting ont trees, keeping the avenues and alleys clean, etc. They set out some trees every year, this year, 25 spruce, 25 balsams and 25 pines. some mountain ash and white birch. Tlio nffirs nt t?i nscnmaf inn r .T years ago they leased for a term of live years as a site for a waterworks plant a lot to Messrs. Speice, Hudson, Leh man, North, Dale, Ernst, Henry, Alex ander and Martyn, who have had since then an abundant supply of water, the waterworks consisting of windmill, tank, tubes and hydrants, and this has heen found so satisfactory that it is alto-! gmuer ueairauie iuai uiuertt suuuiu lase advantage of the company already J formed and join them. In caring forj the graves of the loved ones, it had been ' i necessary to pump considerable water, but sinca the completion of the water works it is noticeable that people prefer the hydrant to the pump, but they are especially cautioned against leaving a hydrant open. Such was the case the other day and as a consequence that particular section of the cemetery was Hooded. It has been suggested that when par ties clean lots, they put the refuse at ' one or ine lour corners on avenue or alley, so that the sexton can readily get it. The association expended last year in the pnrchase of a horse lawn mower and sexton work about S200. w e uo not Know or a cemeterv lor a town of this size that has so many nicely-improved lots, and it is gratifving to all interested to know that most lot owners are making commendable im- provements.
