Albion News. We understand that all our drug stores are provided with what is known as the government prescription for pre venting the spread of hog cholera charcoal, sulphur, black antimony, etc. It is a mixture that has been in use by a number of hog raisers, who have found it very valuable to them. Now is a good time to put it to use. J. A. Dempster of Lincoln was in the city Monday morning in the inter est of the fraternal society, Knights and Ladies of Security, having a total mem bership of 24,000 and a reserve fund of $75,000. A council of 105 at Fullerton, and one of 102 at Central City have re cently been instituted and one at Genoa was to be instituted Monday night. Judge Duffy of Columbus is making preparations to start another paper in Columbus. If he gets it started before silver reaches the price of copper, lead, etc., it will advocate the free coinage of that metal without the consent, etc. There is about as much room for anoth er paper in Columbus as there is for another furnace in purgatory.

A mass meeting of citizens is called to meet at the Council chamber this Tues day evening, August 24, at 7:30, for the purpose of making arrangements to suitably receive Hon. W. J. Bryan, who will speak in this city next Saturday. Committee. William Gentleman and family, of Omaha, passed through here Thursday in a buggy on their way to Colnmbus. Mr. Gentleman informed the reporter that they were out on an outing and had been three days on the trip. He says that the corn along the line looks immense and that everything is favora ble for a large crop. Schuyler Sun. 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. We furnish ev erything in our line at reasonable prices, and strictly in line with the order, tf Joseph Paschal and family returned Thursday night from their western trip, which they enjoyed very much, going and coming in a wagon, and taking their own time. Mr. Paschal says that the crops in Nebraska are looking fine. In those parts of western Nebraska and of Colorado, where the crops are "under the ditch," the crops are superfine, im mense. There is a wonderful contrast between the green fields under irriga tion and the table lands that trust to the ordinary rain-fall. The county treasurer's report.which the law provides shall be published the first week in July, has not yet 6een the light. The treasurer says it is "too much trouble to prepare it." But there must be some other reason. As good an officer as Mr. Elliott is thought to be should not let a few hours work prevent him doing his duty in following the pro visions of the law. But, no matter, the tax-payers of Platte county are entitled to a perusal of the report and it should be published, trouble or no trouble. Columbus Telegram. The Whitmoyer Rifles, Co. K, First Regiment, N. N. G., will, according to company order No. 9, by Captain Kilian, go into camp on Wm. Ernst's farm, two miles north of town, next Saturday evening and stay until Monday. The boys will go into camp for practical work; 180 rounds of bullets, half of which will be for record. Col. M. Whit moyer offers a gold medal for first prize for good marksmanship and Capt. J. N. Kilian a silver medal for second. Dur ing the month of September the Ne braska Guards will have another two days' encampment on full pay and rations. The patent medicine fake scheme is being worked successfully here and there in the state. There is some music, some talk and then bottles of colored water are sold, three for a dollar and yon get your money back, but suddenly, after a deposit of dollars, the lights are put out, the show disappears and off with them go dollars enough to supply the outfit with spending money for quite a while. According to the Head light, they recently played Stromsburg in about this style. Morbid curiosity, combined with the desire to get some thing in exchange for nothing, leads people into a great deal of trouble. Mr. Wm. Kammeir, manager of the local cream separator, met with an acci dent last Saturday which proved quite painful but not serious. He was busy about the boiler when accidentally one of the steam valves was turned open and the escaping steam and boiling water played about Mr. Kammeir's back and right arm which caused a severe scalding. Dr. Hansen took the case under treatment at once and the patient is up and around but unable to do any work for the present. Mr. John Baily, who seems to be quite useful in any line of business, is now managing the sepa rator to the apparent satisfaction of patron and principal. Platte Center Signal. Last Saturday a very sad accident happened at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Schram, three miles east of the city. While the mother was in the gar den a short distance from the house, the second daughter aged five years, tried to start the kitchen fire and in so doing her dress, which was wool, caught fire. Her older sister threw a bucket of water over her, but this did not extinguish the flames, and before the mother could help her, the child was so badly burned that when her dress was removed, the flesh dropped off. Doctors did what they could, but their patient died about three o'clock the same day. Funeral services were held in the Catholic church Sunday and the remains interred in the Catholic cemetery. Duffy & Son issued the initial num ber of the Platte County Democrat Thursday last. Their paper is a six- column quarto, two pages home print, the patent part being furnished from the Western Newspaper Union office at Omaha. Both proprietors have been in the business before, and do not, of course, strike their full pace in the first issue. The salutatory sets forth the aims of the new paper as "democratic at all times and under all circumstances," and says "we had the strange anomaly of a so-called democratic paper advo cating the election of William J. Bryan and Roes Hammond on the same page!" referring, of course, to the stand taken last fall by the Telegram, which had (up to last year, at least), been regarded as the organ of the democrat party since 1873. Whether this is a sufficient and good reason for the sixth newspaper, the seventh periodical, for the city of Co lumbus, is a question of most impor tance to Duffy & Son, and they will doubtless do their best to make their answer good. The Journal believes in everybody doing the very best they can, and in this spirit welcomes the new paper as another help in the upbnilding of the material interests of the county, so far as its "free and unlimited coinage, etc." does not interfere. Triple Conbiae. The free-silver conference, composed of democrats, populists and free-silver republicans, met at Maennerchor hall Monday, and after considerable talk upou, around at and over a resolution they came to a decision. Albert con tended that fusion was uot likely to be had unless the democrats were allowed to name the one candidate to be conced ed to the populists. (At the time, this was considered by many of the conven tion a move in the interest of Kavan augb, and so was opposed strenuously by the others.) Finally, it was decided that the con ference should recommend to the demo crats to concede to the populists the nomination of a sheriff, all the other candidates to be named by the demo cratic convention, after which they ad journed. The result of the populist convention held at the same place was the nomina tion of John C. Byrnes for sheriff, he getting about two-thirds the votes of the convention. Daniel Driscoll and Jo seph P. Johnson being the other candi dates. The name of R. Y. Lisco did not go before the convention. The main interest of the afternoon centered at the opera house, where the democratic convention was held. D. B. Dickinson of Granville presided over the convention, Blake Maher and C. B. Tomlin, being respectively secre tary and assistant. Hendryx, Becher, Ottis, Davis and Draper were appointed a committee on credentials and in due time brought in their report. There were no contests, and there was the usual interest mani fested in the calling of the names. A committee on resolutions was pro vided for and after a while named by the chair, and consisted of Moran, Car rig, Gleason, Robison and Blaeer. When they returned with the result of their labors, it was found that thoy re-affirmed the Chicago platform of '1X5; re endorsed their leader and champion in the presidential campaign last year, commended the investigating state com mittee fthis part was probably Mr. Moran's contribution to the resolutions, and said a good word for Judge Sulli van in case he should be nominated for supreme judge. The resolutions were promptly adopted without debate. While the committees were at work Judge Duffy waB called on for a speech and responded, filling in the time, assis ted by a long-whiskered man among the delegates, who seemed to be especially excited by a view of the Judge on the platform he kept quite quiet during all the remainder of the proceedings. Mr. Duffy linked the names of Jefferson, Douglas and Bryan together in his array of democratic principles and doings. When he spoke of the democracy as a war party in the supression of tho re bellion we noticed that he cast a sheep's eye towards his friend Parks, who was at New Orleans in those days. He com mended the republicans in their method of party organization, commencing at the solid foundation stone of the town ships and so on up to the national or ganization, and said the democracy would profit by following their example. The convention struck their gait when Hale moved to proceed to the nomina tion of a candidate for county treasurer. Hans Elliott was the only candidate named, and waa nominated by acclama tion. Iu his speech of acceptance he told them that two years ago he told them he could make no speech and he was in the Bame fix now. He had tried to use every man fair, and promised to do his duty if elected. C. A. Newman and G. W. Phillips were placed before tho convention for clerk. There was considerable talk about the manner of voting, secret bal lot or viva voce on call of townships, which weomit both ways were adopted, at the option of the voters (a pretty shrewd move on the part of the Phillips men). The vote as announced was 105 for Phillips, 15 for Newman, and it was made unanimous for Phillips. Walter expressed his gratitude, said he would use all honorable means to be elected, and if elected, promised to do his duty according to law, without reference to party affiliatious. Gleason, R. C. Moran and Becher were appointed a committee on conference with a like committee of the populists, and a recess taken. After a call to order the convention was informed that the populists had placed in nomination for sheriff J. C. Byrnes. There was a little politic sparring, back and forth, everybody recognizing that the result of this meant fusion or anti-fusion. The fusion forces, however, were ahead, many of the delegates here having been delegates also to the free silver conference and the result was that while on the informal ballot Byrnea had 44 votes, Gruentber 3G, Kavanaugh 22, and Hale 17. On the first formal ballot Hale first withdrew in favor of Byrnes, then Gruenther, ditto, and on motion of Carrig, Byrnes was nominated by ac clamation. Duffy received 36 votes for judge aud Robison 78, and on motion of Duffy his nomination was made unanimous. He expressed surprise at being a candidate, andif elected, would do what ho could to please them. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Byrnes entered the hall and was called to the platform. He was received with cheers, and spoke at some length. He had not been used to meeting the de mocracy except on the hotly-contested political battlefields. But when the democrats and populists indorse fusion it makes it possible to secure the judi ciary in our state; do away with govern ment by injunction; secure free and unlimited coinage of silver, 16 to 1, and enthrone Nebraska's favorite son as president. He thanked his friends for tbe honor conferred in placing him upon the democratic ticket, which never knew defeat and the populist which never knew when they were defeated. The nomination of L. H. Leavy as su perintendent of schools then followed, he getting on the informal ballot 84 votes to 21 for Moyer and 9 for Moersen, Rothleitner withdrawing from the race, and the rules being suspended, and the nomination made unanimous. Leavy said that he could talk to school chil dren and to teachers, but was not used to facing political conventions. He felt very grateful especially to friends in Columbus and Bismark, where he has taught for years. Rossiter was selected by acclamation for surveyor, and Drs. Stack and Alger stood no show for coroner as against H. A STORY PROFITABLE TO BEAD g I S ONE that will save you the Quarters, the Halves and the -- Dollars.

Several I'wBHiileratioii. Since the last issue of The Journal, which gave the proceedings of the re publican county convention, Judge Post has, through his adherents, announced the list of delegates us selected by huu in pursuance of the action of the con vention authorizing him by a vote of 59 to 53, to name the delegates. We are informed that Judge Post has felt surprised and hurt that certain per sons who were delegates elect to the convention should have voted "against him." The answer of one of these was that he voted not only his own sentiments but in accordance with the wish of those republicans of the Third ward who supported him at the primaries, and also with the right in the matter. In a convention called, among other things, expressly for electing delegates to a state convention, he didn't lielieve in allowing any one man, no matter who he was, to name the delegation. He didn't believe in one-man rule. He said, too, that he was a supporter of Jndge Post and desired to see him both nominated and elected, and believed he would be, but he was tired of having machine methods prevail to the exclusion of good republicans. Under the resolution as passed, W. A. McAllister, who was (with Carl Kramer) defeated as a" delegate by the voters of the Third ward, bobs up serenely on the list for the state convention, and I. Sib bernsen is selected from tbe First ward, but probably because of influence in Woodville and Walker townships. Some of those who opposed the adop tion of the naming clause of the resolu tion think that Judge Post had no right to select men who had been turned down at the primaries, or those he well knew could not have been elected. There are two ways, however, of looking at that. A working majority of six re publicans in the convention have their way, and submit the management of the nominating campaign so far as naming those who shall help him at tbe state convention to the discretion of Judge Post, and he has selected the persons named, all representative republicans of the county. He doubtless thinks his selection is wise, and that he has not overstepped the authority granted him. Whether the appointment of Mr. Mc Allister and Sibbernsen was judicious party policy, under the circumstances, is another question than a matter of right. We are firmly of the opinion that the interests of Mr. Post in Platte county, and also of the republican party here, would have been better subserved had the naming clause of the tesolution been omitted. Those who have followed the course of matters in the state have not failed to note, first that there seemed to be an understanding that the delegates to the state convention be named so far as practicable by tbe county central com mittees, without calling a convention for that purpose. This has been done to a much greater extent than ever be fore in the history of the stato. It is not only objectionable, but it is bad practice. The average American voter wishes to do his own political work. It sometimes isn't much, to be sure, but he likes to have the privilege accorded him and not assumed by men whom he has placed in position, as offi cials or as representatives of his political party interests. In other words, it is machine politics, in a very offensive form. We know very well the plea9 under which this has been done in many coun ties of the state, but none of them are worthy of consideration beside tbe fact that every republican voter is in party matters a sovereign in his own right, and values his prerogatives as an inde pendent, individual member of tbe party, above merely personal considera tions of any sort. If Judge Post is defeated for the nom ination, in the state convention, it will be due to this one fact more than any thing else. It is conceded on all hands that the i men selected to speak for Platte county ! will be ardent and firm supporters of Judge Post at the convention, and will do all that can be done towards that end. The Journal has yet seen no sufficient reason for a change in belief that Judge Post will bo nominated with but little, if any, practical opposition, which cer tainly will be gratifying to his many adherents throughout tho state.
