The advice of Warwick Saunders,
Gov. Holcomb's oil inspector for this
district, to free silver Fourth of July

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.

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

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

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

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.

years as a site for a waterworks plant
a lot
to Messrs. Speice, Hudson, Leh
man, North, Dale, Ernst, Henry, Alex

then an abundant supply of water, the
waterworks consisting of windmill, tank,
tubes and hydrants, and this has heen

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.
