Mason Beall is taking the second
crop this season off his alfalfa field two
city lots. This is eighteen inches high;
the other, cut the middle of June, was
four feet high, and both together will
amount to two and a half tons. The lots
were seeded down in May, '90 one cut
ting made for hay, and then allowed to
go to seed. He thinks the latter fact,
making an extra good stand, helped pre
vent winter killing of the young plants.
Fish Commissioner W. J. O'Brien
with Henry Hemfel of South Bend qui
etly came here last Thursday looking for
fish nets, and it is needless to say they
found them. When they arrived here
they got John Pollock's new boat which
they took up the river as far as Genoa,
where they pat the boat into the stream,
and in coming from there down to the
B. &M. bridge they found thirty-six
fish nets, which they cut to pieces, cast
ing the fragments into the current and
letting them float toward the Gulf of
Mexico. Several of our townspeople
lost nets and they will either have to
buy new ones or go out of the business.
It is best to obey the law, because it is

There are quite a number of large
farms in Nebraska, ranging from four to
ten sections, owned by non-residents of
the state but operated by managers.
Formerly most of these ventures were
not successful, mainly because the man
agers were not practical and thorough
going farmers, but latterly it seems to be
different. The lands are utilized for pas
ture and feed, and the fatting of cattle
and hogs relied upon to use up the grain
and rough feed and bring in the money.
Since this has been the policy of ranch
owners, they have generally made
money. The Albion Blade says that the
Allerton ranches have shelled this season
nearly 80,000 bushels of corn. Now is a
good time to invest in Nebraska land.
The following, taken fron the Sun
day State Journal, will be of interest to

form the first circuit Kansas and Iowa
will subsequently be invaded. The
quartet consists of Misses Bessie Tur
ner, first soprano; Edith Risser, second
soprano; Ethel Galley, first alto, and
Carol Churchill, second alto. The rep
ertory of the Sapphos is extensive and
of a popular character.
BEVENUE COLLECTION.
A Brink Rutle for the Depatyshlp.
Revenue Collector Houtz, who has suc
ceeded James E. North, will have a
number of positions under him, the
naming of which, it seems, it is conceded
will really be done by Senator Thurston,
probably with the advice and consent, in
this district of Ross Hammond of Fre
mont who made the race for congress
last fall in the interest of the republi
can party.
Carl T. Seeley, the able editor of the
Madison Chronicle, is the first we heard
mentioned for the much coveted
position. He was a candidate for post
master, and by all rules of good politics
that we know was entitled the nomina
tion, but another republican, selected by
the populist United States Senator, W.
V. Allen, was named instead, the reason
given being that senatorial courtesy de
manded that the postmaster of the sena
tor's home town should be named by
him, but he must be of the same polit
ical party as the administration. The
actual underpinning of this "courtesy"
is probably the fact that an opposition
senator is in a position to make ugly-
looking objections to the confirmation
of appointments, unless he has been ac
corded treatment more or less "cour
teous." Many republicans in this region
of the state were incensed at Senatorial
Courtesy when they heard of this thing,
and sincerely wished that the populist
dispenser of republican nourishment
was located in some very small town
where there was no deserving, hard
working republican Editor Seeley to pay
back (through Senatorial Courtesy) the
many editorial "courtesies" of numerous
campaigns. Some one doubtless sug
gested to the powers that be that a
deputy collectorship would be about the
proper sort of a soothing plaster for Mr.
Seeley's lacerated feelings.
George Sweet, a former resident here,
now of Antelope county, was in the city
Wednesday, having dropped out of the
race for postmastership at Oakdale, to
try chances on deputy collectorship.
He bad a number of strong endorse
ments from republican committeemen
and others in his own and adjoining
counties, to which he added several
here. Mr. Sweet is an enthusiastic re
publican and a worker, and will make a
strong pull for the place with petitions
and letters.
Incidentally we have been informed
that there are others who have been
named as suitable appointees, viz.,
Moorehead of Albion, W. H. Winter
botham of Genoa, and John G. Pollock
and Edwin Hoare of Platte county.
Through the grape-vine telephone line
we hear that the last named had re
ceived a letter from Senator Thurston
saying that he could not have this posi
tion. Whether this means that John G.
Pollock, the all-the-time republican en
thusiast of the Meridian, is to be the
recipient of this plum, time will tell.
His friends can hope until knowledge
closes the contest by appointment or a
turn-down.

Slander.
There are few things cause more
trouble in the world than the gossip and
slander of meddlesome people. No com
munity is free from these nuisances.
They are the foulest harpies that ever
gorged themselves at a stolen feast
They pollute everything they touch.
No character is too pure for them to
fasten their filthy claws in. No reputa
tion is so spotless that they may not
slime it over with their lying words.
Their noses are keener than any crow's.
Their faces are flabby and flaccid and
greasy from long feeding at unholy,
swinish feasts. Their eyes have a wry
twist from peeping around corners and
through cracks to see what goes on be
hind private walls. They are more
shameless than Peeping Tom of Coven
try. Would that their eyes, like his,
might be shriveled into darkness in their
heads. It would be but meager punish
ment for the evil they have done, the
reputations they have blasted, the fam
ilies they have broken np, the tears they
have caused to flow.

'Squire Swearingen came into The
Journal sanctum Friday, inquired for
the fighting editor and placed a basket
of fine, home-grown apples on our table,
leaving them with us for the good wife
to convert into apple dumplings. "The
Yellow Golden" is a seedling of his own
raising, and is certainly a fine mellow
apple of excellent flavor. Another seed
ling, for which he had no name, is very
palatable. One of the branches, full of
fine apples of the Duchess of Oldenburg
variety, was from a tree which had been
bearing for seventeen years. Mr. Swear
ingen's orchard is on his farm near the
Clear Creek mills, Polk county, and was
set out as a nursery, having had a his
tory somewhat similar to the Kinnan
nursery and orchard. He has more than
a thousand apple trees, and will have an
abundant crop.
District 44 and Vicialty.
This week will finish up the oats har

The school board met at .the school
house Friday evening to open bids for
building new sfhool house as per notice,
and to sell the old school house to the
highest bidder. We also noticed sev
eral of the contractors and builders
from Columbus present; among them
were Mr. Geitzen, Mr. Yergutz, Mr.
Both, Mr. Davis and Mr. Pearsall.
There was a good feeling manifested
among the contractors and when the
bids were opened and read, that of Jas.
Pearsall was found to be the lowest, and
he was therefore immediately awarded
the contract for building the new school
house for $630, and entered into con
tract with board before leaving the
room. The old building was auctioned
off, with John Byrnes crier, who tried
hard to-eell same for its full value. It
was finally knocked off to Joe Drinnin
for $46. He seemed to be willing to pay
the most for the privilege of moving the
same off of the site of new building.
Cattle for 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.

Populists itf Flatte.
Bixby, the funny man of the Lincoln
Journal, once helped Saunders and some
others conduct a populist paper in this
city, and is familiar with the party aud
its aims here. The following, from him,
will be read with interest by many of our
readers:
The populists of Platte county, a thou
sand and more men strong, never hesit
ate, never falter, always moving in a sol
id body toward their wise and patriotic
principles of an American system of fi
nance and the complete overthrow of
corporation rule. Columbus Argus.
Coming from so reliable a source, the
above information is cheering and re
freshing. The Hon. Thomas E. Watnon
has declared war against the Hon. Mari
on Butler; IgnatiiiH Donnelly is determ
ined to thwart the ambition of his brave
and brainy colleague, S. M. Owens; Mr.
PefTer and his whiskers have been rele
gated to political oblivion, and Kansas
still sorrows over the disgrace of having
a boodle legislature. Dr. Fall awaits iu
suspense the decision of the governor in
the matter of his retention or removal,
and Dr. Given doesn't know whether he
has been given up or not. Jim O'Shee
begins to think there is no profit iu being
a reformer, and D. M. Cleaver hasn't
been heard from for ninety days.
Bloody Bridles Waito has determined
to stay where he is, and Colorado popu
lists mourn as those without hope. In
the midst of all this turmoil and strife it
is a pleasure to know that the populists
of Platte county, to the number of a
thousand (1,000) or more, "never hesitate
never falter." They are after an Ameri
can system of finance and the complete
overthrow of corporation rule, and they
never will rest till they have both. If
they were weak in numbers, if there were
less thau a thousand of 'em it might be
different. In that event they would put
up with any old system of finance that
came along, and accept corporation rule
as a matter of course. Should they hes
itate or falter, as it is, it would go hard
with them; but how can they do
either when led by such intrepid com
manders as the Hons. J. S. Freeman,
Warwick Saunders, Fred. Jewell, Jim
Kiernan and Parky Doody; also W. F.
Dodds and John Dack? True, Doody is
at times a democrat, but even so are the
rest of them. Platte county populists
are practical as well as eternally vigilant.
Two years ago they fused with republi
cans to beat the dishonest democrats, but
every pop on the ticket was snowed
under. Now they propose to fuse with
the other fellows and get even. Two
years ago they neither hesitated or falter
ed, and why should they falter now?
Being iu the minority, they look upon a
half a loaf as better than no bread at all,
and to capture the east end of the court
house as a long step in the direction of
an American system of finance. Platte
county is not far from the center of the
settled portion of the state. It is the
pivot around which populism can swing
until it is dizzy. It is appropriate that
words of cheer to the party should ema
nate from that center. When the pops
of Logan county hear that their brethren
at Oconee are standing pat, they will be
encouraged to stay in the game. One
line of encouragement from Parky Doo
dy is worth more than a proclamation by
the governor or a private letter from
Benton Maret. Hurrah for Platte coun
ty and the pops that never falter!
Street Commissioner From is taking
several hundred loads of dirt out of the

CHARACTER, ABILITY AND HONOR,

Every intelligent, independent man
owes it to himself to do his best, what
ever the circumstances may he, and this
rule is eminently sound in political
matters. Attend the primaries of your
party, do what you can to eelect public
spirited, fair minded men as delegates
to the county convention; when such
are elected, they are sure to obey the
wish of their constituents, and they are
also sure to use their trust in the public
interest.
liemember well that one mischief
maker can do more harm in a minute,
sometimes, than a thousand men can
rectify in a life-time. Your personal ex
perience will furnish hundreds of illus
trations of this general truth.
You need especially to uard against
the mischief-maker, because he works,
always, against the general interest, and
for himself, or for sotuebodv else that
has paid him, or hus promised to pay
him, either in money or valuables of
some kind.
The scheming, seliish politicians are
invariably the ones who are mainly re
sponsible for llio nomination of ques
tionable men to till public stations of
honor, trust and emolument.
We s(oak to no one particular party.
These truths are applicable to all party
organizations, and are conliucd to no
one generation of men. It was always
thus, and it always will be thus, while
men are guided by yelf rather thau con
siderations of "the general welfare;" by
lust of power and pelf, rather than by
love of country.
If fair-minded, independent, wide
awake, party-loving and country-loving
men are selected as delegates to the
county convention, the same kind are
likely to be chosen to represent your
interests at district aud state conven
tions. Another consideration or two, and
they also apply to all parties, and to all
offices whether county, district or state.
Help select for places of trust or
emolument men of good character and
especially qualified for the office named
a plain, simple, fair, and yet compre
hensive and safe rule that party-patriots
always apply. Don't help nominate men
for whom you have to make apology,
excuse or special plea of any kind.
Good character always commands re
spect, simply because it is respectable.
Ability to do well what you are chosen
to do is a prime factor in success,
whether in campaigning for an office, (in
case you seek it through the votes of
the people), or in conducting the affairs
of the office itself. The next best thing
to knowing, is to know that you don't
know. After being satisfied as to char
acter and ability, the intelligent voter
in Nebraska and in Platte county
(whether he be republican, democrat,
populist, prohibitionist, free-silver re
publican or what-not) has good occasion
to ask, Will this man bo faithful to the
laws and to the public interest? And
in this year, all of us wish that answer
to be "I'm, Yrs, YES, I think so.''

Fremont Herald: Win. Lever of the
Lever Woolen mills relumed recently
from Philadelphia, Pa., where he attend
ed a meeting of libro manufacturers,
and made an interesting exhibit. He
has recently been making some experi
ments with tow from the hemp mill. He
mixed a small percentage of the tow
with wool. and had it woven into a fabric.
The result was a compact, smooth look
ing piece of goods, having the general
appearance of wool. By using it with
cotton an equally desirable result was
obtained, the fabric being much strong
er than pure cotton. The wool and tow
goods will not shrink. If tho mixing of
the tow with wool and cotton proves
feasible it will be a great help to the de
velopment of the hemp industry in this
vicinity, furnishing an enlarged market.
